Low income leads officers elsewhere
KU Public Safety Office is shorthanded because it struggles to compete
Michael Campbell Special to the Kansan
Chad Kleppin didn't mind working for the KU Public Safety Office, but because of financial reasons, he now works for the Shawnee Police Department.
Shawnee Police Department. Keppin, who worked for the KU Public Safety Office from 1997 to 2000, said he left that job and went to work for the Shawnee Police Department because they paid $8,000 more each year and had better benefits. During his tenure with the KU Public Safety Office, he paid about $300 each month for family health insurance. He now pays just $15 each month.

Departments in local area cities such as Eudora and Baldwin pay officers more money. As a result, Keary said the University of Kansas had become like a training ground for other departments.
"It has been a constant process the last several years," Keary said, "Well-trained officers leave for betterpay. We are giving appointments to people not in law enforcement, giving them training and making them desirable for other departments."

cers find themselves constantly short-staffed because of the high rate of turnover. He said the department is three people short of its full complement of 28 commissioned officers.
Rodger Oroke, KU's director of general services, said newly-hired officers were only staying about 18 months. That figure includes nine weeks at the police academy, seven weeks of in-house training and 12 weeks riding with a training officer. Officers are only working on their own for the KU Public Safety Office for about a year before leaving.
"That is no time in terms of stability or understanding how the University operates." Oroke said.
Despite the problems, Keary said the KU Public Safety Office still had enough experienced officers to conduct investigations and train new hires, but that the department has had to cut back on some of its programs like bicycle patrol and crime prevention presentations.
Oroké said the University had paid officers 5 percent retention supplements in 2000 and 2001. Any attempt to get a permanent raise in the near future would be hampered by the state's current budget woes, according to state Rep. Barbara Ballard, associate vice chancellor for student affairs, who sits on the House Appropriations Committee.
Ballard said the state was facing significant projected deficits for the 2001 and 2002 fiscal years.
It is going to be harder to get a raise for anybody," she said, "Generally, the Regents get less than they ask for. It wouldn't be out of line to say that they will get less than they ask for this year."
Keppin said lack of overtime pay is another problem facing the department.
Kleppin said if officers worked time after the end of their shifts, they would not receive extra pay. Instead, the officers would solve the time discrepancies by spending less time on their regular shift.
DANCING FOR A GOOD CAUSE
"It's a big morale issue," he said.
Kleppin said he didn't think current system was good for the department.

Students get groovy to help fund program

One hundred students descended on the ballroom in the Kansas Union Saturday to watch dancing groups that included the Crimson Girls and the Unity Dance Troupe. The Crimson Girls taught the students the Rock Chalk Chant and the fight song.
A Queers and Allies-sponsored mini drag show was part of the festivities as the evening continued.

New center to help students find housing
Opening in Fall 2002 the Student Senate office to give answers and advice
By Courtney Craigmile Kansan staff writer
KU students planning to move off campus will have help finding a place to live when the Student Senate builds an off-campus living resource center next fall.

It also could tell students which apartment complexes were best and which landlords would be difficult to deal with.

Sarah Hemmerling, Hutchinson freshman and McCollum Hall resident, said she was considering moving off campus in the fall with a friend.
She said she would definitely use the center to help her answer those questions.
Browning said the center will have a director who will work about 20 hours a week. The director could be a student, but doesn't have to be.

Student's book helps children handle issues of stress, fear
By Eve Lamborn Kansan staff writer
A children's book that landed in local bookstores a week and a half ago is a KU student's response to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
would go to town to address "It was the result of my own grief. When Sept. 11 happened, I was just devastated," Kelly said. "I was glued to the TV and wrapped up in negativity. Everyone was so upset and scared, and I couldn't concentrate. But I was able to focus on this."
Leigh Kelly, Lawrence senior, worked with Lawrence illustrator Teresa Kelley, 41, to publish the book Safe Space. Kelly designed the book to help children deal with fear caused by traumatic situations, and she said a portion of the proceeds would go to local children's charities.
The book, which Kelly, 35, describes as a nursery rhyme, teaches children skills to handle stress, such as deep breathing and safe place imagery. She said psychologists taught those skills to people working through traumatic experiences.
The book has pages where children can draw their own safe spaces and encourages adults to talk to children about fear issues.
"The more people I told about it, the bigger it got," she said.
Kelly said she woke up one morning with the story idea in her head. After receiving positive feedback from an Olathe elementary school class, but rejections from publishing companies, she decided to publish the book through her own company, Writework Studios.
screens.
Teresa Kelley, the book's illustrator, said she depicted the terrorist attacks indirectly by picturing people looking up in fright and showing a kneeling firefighter on a television screen.
"We wanted to get the message out without causing unnecessary fright," she said.
A psychology major with two children of her own, Kelly said she had already planned to write children's books before the attacks happened. Future books will help children and parents talk about mental health issues like depression and self-esteem.
Mike Kopf, a clerk at Borders Books Music & Cafe, 700 New Hampshire St., said that the book was one of the newest items in the store and that the store had sold at least 10 copies so far. It's available in paperback for $8.95.

18-year-old pleads guilty to the murder of Wichita man
WICHITA — An 18-year-old has admitted to beating and killing a Wichita man who made sexual advances toward the teen and a friend.
Zachary Steward of Wichita pleaded guilty Friday to felony murder and aggravated robbery. In exchange for the pleas, prosecutors dismissed five other counts, including premeditated first-degree murder, aggravated burglary and aggravated arson.
Steward and co-defendant Brandon Boone are accused of beating Marcell Eads, 58, in his Wichita home in June, then setting Eads' house on fire after taking a stereo and a computer.
Steward likely will face a sentence of life in prison without parole for 25 years when he is sentenced Dec. 21. He had been scheduled to go to trial today.

Space debris lights night sky from Texas to Nebraska
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Streaks of brilliant light that were spotted from Texas to Nebraska on Saturday night apparently were caused by space debris breaking up, authorities said.
A dispatcher at the Kansas Turnpike Authority in Wichita said callers reported the lights from the Oklahoma border to near Kansas City.
In Hastings, Neb., meteorologist Larry Wirth of the National Weather Service said callers described a bright light that crossed the horizon from southwest to northeast and broke.
"People said it appeared to break up into about 30 little balls, with tails, more or less like fireworks," Wirth said.
Wirth said the North American Air Defense Command reported that some kind of space debris had broken up in the atmosphere.
in Topeka, weather service meteorologist Matt Wolters said such light shows are not uncommon when space debris enters the atmosphere.
Commemorative flight marks end of airline, as TWA departs
ST. LOUIS — TWA started disappearing yesterday, as the airline's assets began changing to the American Airlines brand.
Flight numbers now come with the prefix "AA" rather than "TW." Airline executives and employees retired the "TW" Saturday with a commemorative flight from Kansas City, home of the airline's main maintenance hub, to the airline's main hub in St. Louis. The commemorative flight, 220, was commanded by Capt. Bill Compton, TWA's last president, who started with the airline in 1968 as a flight engineer.

Both lawsuits were filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.
In the statement, Houston-based Enron said it was in "active discussions" with several financial institutions to secure credit for the continued operation of its wholesale energy trading business, as well as additional funding to keep the rest of the company operating.

so." It also claimed Dynegy had "no right" to exercise an option to acquire Enron's northern natural gas pipeline because it "can only be triggered by a valid termination" of the merger agreement.
Enron said it would ask the court to consider several motions to continue payments for its workers' payroll and health benefits, as well as keeping vendors paid.

Andersen also said its own review would be expanded to include procedures at its Houston office, which did the Enron audits.

At U.S. Central Command headquarters in Tampa, Fla., spokesman Lt. Col. Mark Compton said the command was looking into the reports but had no immediate information about the latest attacks.
In Washington, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said U.S. forces would do "whatever is necessary" to root out the Taliban and al-Qaida terrorists from their cave hide-outs near Kandahar and Jalalabad.

Paying would-be donors could solve organ shortage
SAN FRANCISCO — As the nation's need for organ transplants continues to outstrip supply, the American Medical Association grappled yesterday with a possible solution once thought taboo: paying dying would be donors and their families for vital organs.
NATION
Such financial incentives are illegal, banned by Congress in 1984.
AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
However, only 25 percent of 78,000 organ transplants currently needed will occur in time to save a life, according to the United Network for Organ Sharing, the nonprofit agency the government pays to oversee the nation's organ donor network.
Fifteen people die each day waiting for an organ transplant, the agency says.
The AMA's Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs was urging the association to begin scientific studies on what effect financial incentives would have on organ donations. The group debated the issue yesterday and was to make its recommendation to the full AMA today. The association will decide later this week if it will adopt the council's recommendation.
If the AMA does agree to test financial incentives, Congress would have to change current law to permit a study.
The United Network remains skeptical of financial incentives.
"There's a thought that to offer financial incentives will open up a Pandora's box," said agency spokesman Joel Newman.
A congressional bill introduced in May, dubbed the Gift of Life Tax Credit Act, would allow a donor family a $10,000 tax credit in exchange for donated organs.

Paramilitary leader confesses to plotting opponent's murder
BOGOTA, Colombia — The feared leader of a rightist paramilitary army in Colombia confessed that he was responsible for the 1990 assassination of a charismatic presidential candidate, according to a book to be released this week.
Carlos Castano — political chief of the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia, or AUC — said in the book that the killing of leftist guerrilla commander turned presidential candidate Carlos Pizarro was a "true patriotic act."
"If history repeated itself and the circumstances were the same, I would act the same way," said Castano, in a book excerpt published yesterday in the Colombian newsmagazine Semana.
Colombian news magazine General Pizarro, the son of a navy admiral, became commander of the 900-strong M-19 guerrilla group in 1986. Under his command, the group disarmed four years later and joined the political process.
Castano, a fugitive who could not be reached for comment, said Pizarro was collaborating with drug lord Pablo Escobar and would have been a danger to Colombia if elected president.

GTAC negotiations with University spark interest at Kansas colleges
The Associated Press
Graduate teaching assistants are wondering how negotiations under way at the University of Kansas will affect other public universities in the state.
KU's Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition, the only union representing GTAs in Kansas, has been negotiating a new three-year contract with the University since September 2000.
The union is seeking better pay, better health benefits and tuition waivers for more graduate students.
Some students at other universities would like to form unions of their own.
"On a personal level, I'm all for organizing," said Sara Fisher, vice president of Kansas State University's Graduate Student Council. "I think there would be more consistency from department to department. If you look at a typical stipend across the campus, there's significant variation."
The University of Kansas has estimated that the Graduate
Teaching Assistants Coalition's pay requirements would cost $3 million. Part of the first contract, ratified in 1997, was that the University would ask the Kansas Health Care Commission to subsidize GTA health benefits. Eventually, the commission extended the subsidies which cover about half of health insurance premiums — to graduate teachers at other state universities.
"The interesting thing about collective bargaining in higher education is it does have a ripple effect," said Tim Downs, dean of graduate studies and lifelong learning at Emporia State University.
A similar effect could occur for this contract, especially if the University of Kansas again requests better health benefits from the Health Care Commission.
"The state very frequently, when we're able to get gains in negotiations, many times they will implement that across the board," said Scott Stone, general counsel for the Kansas Association of Public Employees, with which the Graduate
Teaching Assistants Coalition is affiliated.
"Is there a chance if GTAs at KU make gains, that they'll be implemented at other state universities? I'd say there's a good chance because of the politics of it." Stone said.
"It makes a difference when we voice our opinion as a union instead of voicing it as an individual," said Chetankumar Gubbi, a GTA in electrical engineering at Wichita State.
Stipends for Kansas' teaching assistants averaged $9,840 last year, about $300 more than Kansas State's and almost $3,000 more than Wichita State University's. Coalition members say the University of Kansas needs to pay more to be competitive with some out-of-state universities.
Some graduate students at other Regents universities would like to form unions of their own.
But some students at Wichita State and Kansas State are not sure support for a union exists.
"I don't know if it would work."
said Charles Jayne, a graduate assistant in chemistry and student senator at Wichita State. "I don't know how the union would be structured. By the sounds of it, based on what KU graduate students are making now, it would be a good idea, if they are making slightly more now."
signed a unionizing effort failed at Kansas State in the 1990s, but Graduate Student Council President Elverta Vassol said the idea has remained.
"I know that there is a small discussion about who would be interested in that type of unionization," she said. "We're not planning on unionizing at this point. It's just a general dialogue among members of the council."
Fisher said she thought the Manhattan campus generally was more conservative than the University of Kansas, which would hurt a potential union drive. A different approach, though, might work.
"Sometimes KU's held up as the example," she said. "I don't think what goes on at KU would go on at K-State."
Kansas high schools may revamp curriculum
The Associated Press
Kansas education officials are considering a plan that would require high school seniors to demonstrate that they have learned a certain curriculum before they can graduate.
Details of the plan have not been finalized but a task force is expected to provide the Kansas State Board of Education with a rough outline in March.
It would take at least two years to implement the plan, which probably would begin with a freshman class.
"This will have great impact on every student in Kansas," said Alexa Pochowski, assistant commissioner in the education department.
concerns that there is too much variation in what constitutes graduation-quality coursework in Kansas high schools. Pochowski said.
"There are incredible differences in terms of curriculum underneath the courses. We're not expecting the same thing of all students," she said.
No single measure will be employed to determine graduation eligibility. Instead, the goal will be to allow students to prove abilities in one of several ways, possibly including a comprehensive exam, a senior project culminating in a thesis paper, or a portfolio covering several years' work in a broad subject area.
Other ideas for proving "performance/proficiency levels" will probably emerge as the state's
Graduation Requirements Task Force begins forming the initiative.
The task force, the state board, state education department and local school district officials will work together on the initiative.
Currently, students have to complete 21 credits to graduate. The task force has previously rejected raising the course credit minimum.
Education leaders in the Lawrence district generally applaud the attempts to raise the graduation bar, but said the key to this initiative's success would be in the program's details.
Scott Morgan, Lawrence school board vice president, said making students prove they had attained a suitable education was sound. But he said he must consider the new time commitment required of teachers and students or the extra costs for school districts.
"There's ways of making this more hoops to jump through without any gain," Morgan said.
Pochowski said she recognized the skepticism in the education community about this initiative. She said a key issue would be whether time, money and staff would be available to help students meet the higher standards.
"We have kids who will need more time." Pochowski said. "We're looking at possible year-round school or an extended school day."
The goal is to mirror a system set up in Minnesota public schools. Change won't happen overnight, she said.
Hostages' family asks U.S. to urge release of couple in Phillipines
The Associated Press
ROSE HILL — Martin and Gracia Burnham's three children gathered around the television set to catch a glimpse of their parents, who have been held hostage by Philippine Muslim extremists for six months.
Local television station KAKETV had brought the family a copy of a videotaped interview taken by a station in the Philippines.
"It was very difficult"—but also reassuring that they were still alive
... We also realized they can't hold on much longer," Paul Burnham, Martin's father, said Saturday.
The one-minute tape, recorded on Nov. 25, was the first opportunity for the Burnham's children — Jeffrey, 14; Melinda, 12; and Zachary, 10 — or the rest of the world to see live footage of their parents since their abduction.
The Wichita couple were taken hostage May 27 while celebrating their 18th wedding anniversary at a tourist resort.
lart Islands.
Wearing a white Muslim-style head covering, Gracia Burnham looked frightened and her eyes were swollen. Martin Burnham had a beard. Both had lost weight.
On the tape, heavily-armed Abu Sayyaf guerrillas surround the handcuffed couple who were interviewed by freelance journalist Arlyn de la Cruz. De la Cruz said the interview for Filipino cable television channel Net 25 happened somewhere in the Basilian Islands.
"Looks like mom is taking it harder than dad," Jeffrey Burnham told his grandparents.
The children hardly recognized their father, Paul Burnham said.
"They had never seen their father in a beard — it was quite a shock," Paul Burnham said. "The kind of laughed too."
It was that videotape that convinced the family — who for months had kept the couple's children away from reporters — that they had to do more to make people aware of their suffering.

WORKS.
"We feel like the media exposure helps to realize their real need to get their parents back — and maybe the government will work a little harder to get them released," Paul Burnham said.
After they watched their parents on the video, the children wrote them a letter.
In the past few months, the family has been able to get letters, pictures of the children and even a little food to the hostages by sending them to the New Tribes Mission facility in the Philippines. The mission apparently has contacts that can get things to the rebels, Paul Burnham said.
"They don't reveal it, and we don't ask." he said.
The elder Burnhams said the U.S. government had depended too much on the Philippine military, and they want the United States to take a more active role even if that meant military involvement.
Paul Burnham said if he had a chance to talk to the people who were holding his son he would tell them: "Have mercy on our kids and let them go. They have suffered enough already. Have mercy on them before they starve to death."

EDITORIAL
PERSPECTIVE
'Journal-World' editorial wrong
Foreign students should not be told to go home
The Justice Department has announced that 5 000 people who recently arrived in this country will be interviewed in an attempt to gain information about terrorist activities. Some international students at the University of Kansas are on this list.
An editorial that ran Nov.25 in The Laurence Journal-World endorsed the interviewing of international students. However, the editorial used loaded language to put international students involved in the interviewing process into a corner — to force students to prove themselves not guilty before they could be accepted into the flock of "non-terrorist" Americans.
The editorial says that students "from other lands" should accept the questioning and, If they are too incensed, let them go home, where Americans probably would be treated far more harshly." As residents of this country, international students certainly must comply with U.S. investigations. But presenting the issue as an "us" versus "them" battle does injustice to everyone.
This process of interviewing is a necessary part of the investigation and is designed to increase security for everyone living in the United States.
The editorial reminds international students that they are "guests in our country." The United States has an excellent system of higher education that attracts students from around the world. Many international students are grateful to be here. But these "guests" also offer the University of Kansas a cultural richness and diversity of experience that would be lost if they did not chose to pursue their education here. Kansans, in turn, should be grateful to have these guests on our campus.
International students, even if they aren't being interviewed, may feel they are being condemned for actions they had no part in. Students may feel the investigation is not ideal, but a necessary evil under the circumstances. They may agree with it completely. But for everyone, the interviews are an opportunity to learn more about the immigration process that international students work through.
The interviews are to gain general information about terrorist activity. The government also wants universities nationwide to track students who enter the country with student visas. It isn't fair to expect universities to track all these students. The individuals the government is most concerned with are those that have slipped through the cracks or entered illegally to begin with.
Rather than point a finger at international students who are uncomfortable with or opposed to the investigation, we should look to ourselves. The government should do all it can to make the country safe. Our local communities should do all they can to make our country accepting and avoid reactionary responses that hearken back to the days of McCarthyism.
Erin Adamson for the editorial board.
Surveys say students still get their news from the Kansan
Keeping up with what readers think about the Kansan enables its editors to better address what readers want to see in the paper. However, unless it's about spelling errors or the sex columnist's advice on butt plugs, readers usually only provide feedback when something upsets them.
As an addition to direct reader feedback, the Kansan commissions a survey every three years in an attempt to find out more information about its readers. Newton Marketing & Research, a research firm based out of Norman, Okla., conducted a telephone survey about the Kansan using 500 KU students selected at random in October.
Some of the questions they asked were how often students read the Kansan, what sections they read the most and what they thought of the quality of news and information the paper presented.
According to the results, almost 93 percent of students read the Kansan at least once a week. The average KU student reads the Kansan four times a week.
The survey also asked students how often they read the other newspapers offered on campus, the LawrenceJournal-World led the race with 47 percent of students saying they read it at least

once a week.
Not too surprisingly, the most popular reasons given for reading the Kansan, according to the survey, was information about campus news and the Free for All comment section. Only 9.1 percent of readers said they never read the Free for All.
Surprisingly, the crossword puzzle and horoscope did not seem to be as popular among readers with over 50 percent responding they seldom or never looked at either one.
Kansan readers gave high ratings for the overall quality of news and information in the Kansan. More than 35 percent of readers rated its content as
"very satisfactory" and more than 58 percent of readers rated it as "somewhat satisfactory."
These results matched surveys conducted informally at various student organizations. The average rating for the Kansan's coverage from more than 100 students from 10 student organizations was 3.78 on a scale of one to five, with five being excellent coverage.
Although the surveys displayed overall positive reader feedback, there are still some issues that are bothering readers. The Jayplay section's sex column continues to stir strong reaction, generating the most reader feedback in the past few weeks.
One e-mail in particular from a perturbed administrator of a school district in Sharon Springs said he blocked the Kansan's Web site from the school library because of what he deemed inappropriate sexual content.
Whether it's through official or unofficial survey results, letters to the editor or direct reader feedback, the Kansan thrives on your input. It's clear from the survey results that an overwhelming majority of students read the Kansan, which makes receiving reader feedback all the more important.

PERSPECTIVE
Quiet Beatle was a quiet example
George Harrison wasn't many people's favorite Beatle.
But now, after his death Thursday from brain cancer, the low-key Harrison is being remembered as an individual. He had a quiet charm and quick intelligence that permeated his work and life. He may not have been many people's favorite Beatle, but he seemed like a decent, thoughtful person. That said a lot.
He didn't have the menacing passion of John Lennon, the sly melodicism of Paul McCartney and the amiable buffoonery of Ringo Starr. He never seemed to court the public that applauded the group. Harrison just played lead guitar, wrote a few songs for the Beatles' later albums and otherwise staved out of the way.
Few celebrities was that most unlikely icon — the celebrity who didn't seek the spotlight. Much as he played a backing role in the Beatles, he shied away from the mainstream of pop culture. He released a smattering of solo albums, but didn't constantly tour stadiums. The albums dried up in later years, and he would make guest appearances on friends' records, playing the occasional guitar lick. He might attend a charity event. But otherwise, he seemed content with friends and family.

Commentary
In a culture where fame is the beginning and end of achievement, Harrison's attitude toward it was refreshing. In a 1997 interview with VH1, a craggy
I haven't mentioned Harrison's music much. That's the part of the man most of us are familiar with. But his music was an extension of the reflective, serious man sketched above. His guitar solos were elegant and simple (never simplistic), and his songs expressed the viewpoint of a man seeking solitude, bemused by the absurdity of a world that idolized him.
Harrison told a callow John Fugelsang that it was important people straighten out their inner lives — money, fame or achievement were nothing if you weren't comfortable with yourself. What an example for our surface-obsessed times. What an example for us.
He was proud of his music. Harrison told friends the music was the part of him that he gave most freely. He didn't care for celebrity, but he wanted people to hear his songs and playing. It's impossible to hear Harrison's music without hearing the care he put into every note. But he wasn't just a somber, spiritual soul.
Harrison is famous and remembered by all because he was part of a generation's band. The Beatles helped to define their times. George Harrison stood for much more than him. Yet it's important to remember the man, because he tried so hard to maintain his individuality, and to make people think outside the cultural constructs of their times.
For all of his seriousness, Harrison was also a great friend and fan to the
And remember his songs.
Remember the beauty of a tunes like "Something" or "Here Comes the Sun." Remember the goofy fun of "When We Was Fab," from his 1987 Cloud Nine album. Remember the rolling, multi-tracked guitar solos on the Beatles reunion songs "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love." Remember the music and the quiet man who made it.
members of Monty Python, and funded their Life of Brian movie. Most college students will remember his goofy "Got My Mind Set On You" video, featuring singing animal heads and a back-flipping Harrison double. He seemed to say that laughing at the absurdity of life was a first step to figuring it out.
People like George Harrison don't really die. We don't experience them as living people — we experience them as a body of audiovisual work. Harrison's work is still with us.
As long as the songs remain, so will he.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5A
The Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — In a sale that was limited under a compromise between the Bush administration and the president's brother, the federal government this week is selling petroleum drilling leases off Florida's Gulf Coast for the first time in more than a decade.
The Minerals Management Service will lease tracts for oil and gas exploration in a 1.5 million-acre area Wednesday. That's a reduction from the 5.9 million acres that President Bush initially proposed.
After President Bush made his proposal, environmentalists and Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, the president's brother, fought to block the drilling.
The original lease area came as close as 17 miles to Pensacola in Florida's Panhandle, raising concern about potential damage an oil spill could cause to the state's tourist beaches.
The area being offered on Wednesday is at least 100 miles from the beaches of Florida, Alabama and Mississippi, and the eastern edge is 285 miles from Tampa Bay.
When President Bush took office, the United States faced natural gas prices that had jumped above $10 per thousand
cubic feet and oil selling for around $36 per barrel.
But because of a sharply slower economy and increasing supplies, oil is selling today at $17 to $18 per barrel and natural gas goes for around $2.
The federal government has sold leases off the coasts of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama in two auctions since 1982.
When the scaled-back area was announced in July, Interior Secretary Gale Norton predicted that the auction would raise $136 million for the government. Though petroleum prices have dropped since then, the MMS said it still expected a strong sale because the area was close to proven deep-water reserves.
Oil companies refused to discuss their bidding plans before the sale.
"This is acreage that the industry has been most interested in for a number of years," said Barney Congdon, an MMS spokesman in New Orleans.
Officials estimate that the acreage being offered this week contains at least 185 million barrels of oil and 1.25 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. That's enough to run 1 million families' cars for six years and enough natural gas to heat the homes of 1 million families for 15 years.
Man admits abusing hundreds of children
HARRISONVILLE, Mo. — A man has admitted sexually abusing hundreds of young girls whose assaults he videotaped.
The Associated Press
Elza Terry, 55, pleaded guilty Friday to 16 charges against him and faces up to six life terms in prison for raping and sodomizing two girls who were 6 and 8 at the time.
Healso admitted inappropriately touching a girl he secretly videotaped in the aisle of a department store.
Police Sgt. Randy Scott said that Terry's homemade video library
totaled more than 200 tapes and showed more victims than investigators could identify.
"It will be our recommendation that he receive the maximum penalty," Prosecutor Chris Koster said.
Terry was arrested Dec. 19, 2000 after police received a tape found in a repossessed truck that once belonged to him. Police said the tape showed Terry touching children in various department stores.
Additional tapes of Terry's sexual assaults on children were found during a subsequent search of his trailer home
Houston mayor prevails in close race
The Associated Press
HOUSTON — Mayor Lee Brown held off City Councilman Orlando Sanchez in a tight race Saturday to win re-election to a third term and derail Sanchez's bid to become Houston's first Hispanic mayor.
With 100 percent of the precincts counted, Brown had 165,865 votes, or 52 percent, to Sanchez's 155,164, or 48 percent.
Overwhelming support to Brown in several late-reporting and predominantly Black Fort Bend County precincts put the incumbent on top after the two candidates to lead the nation's fourth-largest city swapped the vote advantage repeatedly throughout the evening Saturday.
"Let me commend Orlando for running a very tough campaign," Brown said in a victory speech. "I know he loves Houston and I hope he'll continue to work with us to make sure we will have one city with one future.
"We have built ... We have
"Most important to me, we have offered hope to those who are less fortunate than we are. That's what we're all about. So the next two years, we will work hard, we will work smart and most important we will work together. We will greet any conflict and challenge with courage and commitment."
refurbished," Brown said, reflecting on his previous two terms.
Sanchez took a conciliatory tone in his concession speech.
"They have counted up the votes and we've fallen a little short." Sanchez said.
"We want to congratulate Mayor Brown for a well-run, hard-fought campaign. Tomorrow we all wake up, we're all Houstonians, we're working together.
"I hope our message resonates," he added.
Brown,a Democrat and Houston's first Black mayor, had characterized Cuban-born Sanchez as inexperienced, unreliable and a political extremist who shouldn't be trusted to lead the city.
Brown, 64, cited his fouryears in office, his tenure as police chief in Atlanta, New York City and Houston and his stint as drug czar under President Clinton as reasons why he should be e-relected.
Republican Sanchez, 44, criticized Brown for fire department staffing shortages and deteriorating streets.
Sanchez warned of an impending financial crisis, saying he could better set priorities and spend city money more wisely.
While officially a nonpartisan race, the national political parties threw muscle and money behind their respective candidates.
Brown received assistance from the Democratic National Committee, including telephone messages to voters from former President Bill Clinton. Sanchez got the backing of top GOP figures, including President Bush and his father, along with New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani.
sanchez did better than expected in the Nov. 6 election
by finishing a close second to Brown in a six-man field. Because no one took at least 50 percent of the vote, the top two finishers meet in Saturday's runoff.
Sanchez, who said he would make public safety his top priority and work to unclog construction-mangled streets, said Brown's campaign tactics "threatened to tear the fabric of our community.
"He has pitted nationality against nationality, ethnic group against ethnic group, racial group against racial group" Sanchez said. "That doesn't serve our community."
Race had become an issue in the election in Houston, where Hispanics account for more than a third of the city's 1.95 million residents and Blacks make up 25 percent.
State election inspectors were monitoring several precincts Saturday after some voters in predominantly Black and Democratic precincts said they feared possible intimidation by Sanchez-hired poll watchers.
Yates murder case set for pretrial hearing
The Associated Press
HOUSTON — Attorneys for Andrea Yates, the woman police say drowned her five children, are accusing prosecutors of seeking the death penalty in bad faith as a play to ensure a conviction.
The accusation is part of a defense motion, one of 34 to be considered at a pretrial hearing today, that seeks to keep potential jurors who oppose or question the death penalty from being removed from the jury pool.
Yates, 37, faces two capital murder charges for drowning her children in the family's bathtub in June. She called 911, and police found four of the children's bodies still wet under a sheet on a bed. The oldest, 7-year-old Noah, was still in the bathtub. Her trial is set for Jan. 7.
says she suffered from severe depression after the births of her children.
In Texas, people selected for a jury in a death penalty case must be willing to consider death as an option during sentencing. Potential jurors who say they wouldn't sentence someone to death typically are removed from consideration.
She has pleaded innocent by reason of insanity. Her family
Defense attorney George Parnham argues that if the state is allowed to challenge potential jurors unwilling to consider death, Yates would be denied her constitutional right to a jury of her peers in a county where 30 to 50 percent of the population have some opposition to the death penalty.
He said it also would produce a jury that already leans toward conviction.
Prosecutors say excluding jurors unable to follow the law doesn't result in "a jury that is unduly disposed to convict."
To sentence a defendant to death, a Texas jury must determine that the defendant poses a continuing threat to society, and that his or her character and background, the circumstances of the crime and moral culpability of the defendant warrant death.
Parnham said those standards can't be met because Yates had no criminal record and was a model citizen before she was diagnosed with postpartum depression.
Parnham also wrote: "The state knows that there is no evidence of the defendant being a future danger to society if she is found guilty and sentenced to life."
Harris County District Attorney Chuck Rosenthal said only his office knows what evidence it has against Yates, and doesn't have to explain his decision to seek the death penalty.
that Parnham faces an uphill battle on the jury issue.
"Yes, they would get a skewed panel, but the Supreme Court has said that is OK because it is a panel that is skewed toward those people that would follow the rules, even though everybody doesn't like those rules," said Daniel Shuman, a law professor at Southern Methodist University.
Legal experts said they expect
Defense motions seeking to exclude the death penalty as a possible punishment and to suppress statements Yates made during her 911 call are among those being considered today by State District Judge Belinda Hill.
Prosecutors filed motion asking that defense identify its expert witnesses. The state already has received permission to have its mental health expert conduct a three-day evaluation to determine if Yates was insane at the time of the killings.

Kansa beats tough rival, show great potential
Call it a hunch but my gut tells me that if Kansas and Arizona played 10 games this season, Kansas would win nine of them. Furthermore, my gut says that Arizona is one of the best teams in the country and will remain in the top 10 throughout the season.
Gut feelings aside. Kansas' impressive 105-97 victory against Arizona on Saturday is a reason for celebration. Kansas is the real deal and for the first time in four seasons, a legitimate Final Four threat.
Kansas' perfo rmance against Arizona was signifi icant for three reasons. For one, Kansas whipped the Wildcats on th eir home court, in front of thousan ds of wild and crazy Arizona fans. Secondly, Kansas ended Arizona s string of victories against ranked opponents. The Wildcats had alread y knocked off No. 2 Maryland, No. Florida and No. 23 Texas. And final ly, it was Kansas' first victory against a top-10 team since 1997, which wa s he last time the Jayhawks' were am ong the nation's elite teams.
Severalindi idual Kansas players made statement as well.
With each game, it becomes increasingly evident that no player improved more during the off-season than junior forward Drew Gooden. Gooden was Kansas' best player a year ago and now he's even more dominant, controlling the paint with a wide array of moves and a nice shooting touch. He scored 23 points against Arizona and forced the Wildcats to double and triple-team him during the second half. Early in the season, it's evidence that Gooden can be the superstar Kansas needs to make a run the NCAA tournament.
While Go dominated play down low, fr man Keith Langford continued to surpass expectations against Arizona.
Coming in to the year, Langford's athleticism was well-documented, but how well he would fit into coach Roy William controlled offensive scheme was a question mark
So far Larkford, who scored 19 points again in Arizona, has managed to stay away from the pitfalls that often ague young players with exceptional athletic ability. Langford really tries to force plays by driving will dly to the basket. He demonstraces a level of control that many players take years to develop.
Langford and Gooden came up big for Kansas in the victory, but senior guard Jeff Boschee's clutch three-point shoot ing may have made the difference. Boschee hit a big three that helped end off a late Arizona rally and gave Kansas a 92-83 advantage with 2:46 to play. Boschee scored 19 points and was 5-for-10 from three-poin range. If he stays hot, Kansas will be nearly impossible to heat.
Saturday was a great day to be a Kansas ba sketball fan. With Drew Gooden's continued dominance in the paint Langford's continued improvement and Boschee's three-point shooting, there should be many more great days ahead.

Kansas tops Arizona
Narrow victory against Wildcats proves to be biggest victory in years
By Ryan Malashock Kansan sportswriter
TUCSON, Ariz. — Kansas men's basketball teams in recent years may have let this game get away.
In fact, the Jayhawks couldn't even hold on to a sure win in their season-opening loss to Ball State.
But following No. 8 Kansas' 105-97 victory against No. 4 Arizona on Saturday in Tucson, the Jayhawks talked about the heart and toughness that spearheaded the program's biggest victory in four years.
Saturday's win snapped a string of six consecutive losses to teams ranked in the Top 10 for Kansas. That streak dated back to 1997.
"That was a game my first two years that would have slipped out of our hands, especially on the road," junior forward Drew Gooden said. "But this team is tough. This was a big win. It was tough to hear. This is the loudest place I've played in my college career."
"It's probably the biggest win we've had since I've been here, overall," junior guard Kirk Hirnrich said.
Kansas sprinted out to a 53-38 half-time lead. Gooden posted 14 of his 25 points and nine of his career-high tying 15 rebounds in the first half alone, while Kansas shot 56.8 percent from the field and held Arizona to 29.3 percent.
After trading baskets for the first 15 minutes of the second half, Arizona made its charge. A 10-2 Wildcat run cut Kansas' lead to 87-83 with 3:43 to play. Kansas put the game out of reach in the next two possessions. In a called play out of a

timeout. Hirsch drove the lane and scooped in a layup. After Arizona missed a shot, Hirsch once again drove the lane, but this time kicked the ball out to senior guard Jeff Boschee. Boschee knocked down one of his five crowd-silencing three-pointers, giving the Jawhacks a nine-point lead that they wouldn't relinquish.
Boschee ended the game with 19 points and killed Arizona's momentum by sticking several shots while the McHale Center crowd was on its feet and screaming.
"Everybody feels like when he shoots it, it's going in," Kansas coach Roy Williams said about Bossche. "It'a quiet confidence he gives everybody."
Gooden, Hinrich and Boschee weren't Kansas' only stars Saturday. Freshman Ken Langford showed why he's an inside-outside threat with his career-high 19 points, which included a three-pointer and two driving dunks.
With Boschee and junior forward Nick Collison in trouble, senior guard Brett Ballard and senior forward Jeff Carey stepped in during crucial moments. Ballard banked in a three-pointer late in the game: Carey finished with five rebounds in 22 minutes and hit two key free throws with a minute to play.
Kansas escaped Tucson with a victory despite a 34-point performance from Arizona guard Jason Gardner. Gardner set a school record by hitting eight three-pointers.
"He's so quick and has such range on his jump shot," Williams said. "He gets his shot off so quickly. I don't know that I've played against a guard who can dominate scoring-wise like Jason Gardner."

Jayhawks fall to Ducks in tourney championship
OREGON 00 KANSAS 3
By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter
KC Hilgenkamp's career-high 21 points weren't enough to boost Kansas past Oregon Saturday night.
In the championship game of the Holiday Inn Jayhawk Classic, the Kansas senior surpassed the personal best she had set the previous night, when she scored 16 points in the Jayhawks' win against Alabama State.
AARON SHOWALTER/KANSAN
Against Oregon, freshman Blair Waltz scored a career-high 15 points on 6-of-12 shooting. Four Jayhawks reached double figures, but Oregon's 63 percent shooting in the second half helped the Ducks earn a 67-60 victory against Kansas (3-4).
"There were some crucial breakdowns from the guard spots," said Kansas coach Marian Washington. "We really felt like our defense could have been stronger in the second half and we might have had a chance to make it tough on them."
KU freshman guard Blair Waltz drives past the defense of Oregon's Edniesha Curry during the championship game of the Jayhawk Classic. The Ducks beat the Jayhawks 67-60 Saturday night at Allen Field House.
In Friday's game, the Jayhawks squeaked past Alabama State 62-61 and advanced to Saturday's meeting with Oregon (4-3).
Late in the second half, the Hornets (1-2) grabbed the lead at 59-58. After Alabama State hit two free throws and Kansas missed a layup, the Jayhawks trailed 61-60 with 24 seconds remaining. On the inbounds pass, senior guard Selena Scott stole the ball and scored, giving the Jayhawks their closest win of the season.
"Selena came up with a great steal but
most importantly, she finished it." Washington said. "It was just big-time."
Hilgenkamp, who along with Scott earned all-tournament honors, said she wasn't surprised by Scott's performance.
"Selena has been playing great all season." Hillgenkamp said. "She's a great leader and that play shows what kind of a player she is."
Scott finished with 8 points while fellow seniors Hilgenkamp, Nikki White and Kristin Geoffroy contributed 16, 10 and 8 points, respectively.
Washington said she was pleased with the progress she has seen from her seniors, particularly Hilgenkamp.

Hayes takes name off list as coaching candidate
Kansas interim football coach Tom Hayes withdrew his name last night from the list of candidates in the search for a permanent replacement for coach Terry Allen.
"It has been a good experience and one that I will always remember in a positive way, but I think it's time for me and my family to move in a different direction." Hayes said in a statement released yesterday. He was not available for comment last night.
In three games with Hayes as head coach, Kansas lost 59-0 to Texas and 49-7 to Iowa State before topping Wyoming 27-14.
Hayes joined the Kansas coaching staff in February as defensive coordinator, secondary coach and assistant head coach.
"I want to thank all of the wonderful people in the KU athletic department and our fans for their great support in recent weeks," he said.
Hayes had spent the previous four years as an assistant coach with the Washington Redskins. He took the helm for Kansas after Allen led the Jayhawks to a 2-6 start in his fifth year as Kansas' coach.
Meanwhile, two candidates have been added and two have dropped from the list of prospects for Kansas football's head coach job.
Mark Mangino, the offensive coordinator for defending national-champion Oklahoma, removed his name from the Kansas coaching search on Saturday. Alabama coach Dennis Franchione announced late Thursday night that he was not interested in the job.
Two new candidates, both from the NFL, surfaced last weekend. ESPN.com reported on Saturday that Nolan Cromwell, wide receivers coach for the Seattle Seahawks, was high on Kansas' list. Cromwell starred as Kansas' starting quarterback in the mid-70s. He was the Big 8 Offensive Player of the Year in 1975 and also excelled at track.
Bill Callahan, 45, was the other prospect added. Callahan, offensive coordinator for the Oakland Raiders, leads one of the league's most potent offenses. Only the St. Louis Rams' 26.9 points per game tops the Raiders' 25.3. The University of California-Berkeley has also expressed interest in Callahan.
The other names that have been linked to the Kansas coaching job include Charlie Strong, defensive coordinator at South Carolina, and Pat Hill, Fresno State coach, who has publicly denied having interest in the job.
Al Bohl, Kansas athletics director, has not said when he intends to announce the new coach.

Students give two-cents worth on new coach
By Ryan Greene Kansan sportswriter
It is a search that started nearly a month ago, but could be coming to a close.
The search is the one being conducted for the new Kansas football coach, and it's a search some KU students care about.
Doug Donahoo, Overland Park junior, did not have a particular name in mind, but knows the type of coach he would like roming the Memorial Stadium sidelines next fall.
"I'd like to see a disciplinarian, totally devoted to running a strict program, which is something KU football has been missing for over a decade," Donahoo said. "Best case scenario, Dennis Franchione, who probably should have been hired five years ago while he was at Pittsburg State. If he wants to escape from Alabama, KU would be foolish not to go after him."
A student adamant as to who he would like to see hired was Matt Norman, Rochester Hills, Michigan, sophomore.
"He has experience at a big-time school, which was in the Big Ten, and he is a proven winner," Norman said.
"I would say either Phil Bennett or Mike Stoops. I think they're both young
Norman said he would like to see former Ohio State coach John Cooper at the helm of the football program next season.
Kenny Short, Topeka sophomore considers himself a hardcore KU football fan and has his mind well set on the type of coach he wants.
The University of Kansas has the opportunity to bring in any of the coaches these KU students have mentioned because of being in the Big 12 Conference.
guys which is good, and we need a defens-
gency-minded coach," Short said.
It should only be a matter of weeks until the University knows whether the students will get what they want out of the decision.

Oprah picks receptive author
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Oprah Winfrey has made her first book club pick since her ill-fated selection of Jonathan Franzen's The Corrections. And she is positive that the latest writer, Rohinton Mistry, is happy about the news.
"You know I've had my author problems this month." Winfrey said on her TV show Friday in announcing that she had chosen Mistry's A Fine Balance, an award-winning novel published in 1996.
"So I said to this author when I called up, the first thing I said was, 'Do you want it? Do you want to come to dinner? Do you want the label on your book?' And he said, 'Yes, very much, very much.'"
In a telephone interview from his home in Toronto, Mistry said he was "surprised and delighted" to learn Winfrey had
chosen his novel, although he acknowledged that he did not watch her show and had not thought much about her club.
"I write and I have no time for daytime television, but I am familiar with her and with her show," said Mistry, 49, a native of Bombay who emigrated to Canada in 1975.
"To be quite honest, I know very little about her book club and her book club picks. Until she picked this book I did not how the book club functioned."
Since making her first selection, five years ago, Winfrey has been on a crusade to get more people reading and talking about books. But September's announcement of The Corrections led to some very unexpected attention.
Confessing that he was "conflicted" about being picked, Franzen complained in interviews about having the book club logo on his novel and worried about his place in the "high-art literary tradition." Winfrey responded by canceling the dinner she traditionally throws for her chosen author, and he was labeled "an elitist" by a few writers.
Still, about 900,000 copies of his novel are in print, thanks largely to Winfrey.
Winfrey selected the paperback edition of A Fine Balance, published by Vintage Books, which plans a new printing of 700,000 copies. Before Friday's announcement, just under 65,000 paperback copies were in print.
A Fine Balance is set in India in the 1970s, during the state of emergency imposed by then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. It centers on four strangers forced to share one small apartment.

It's not wrong to say "bong"
Local stores are inconsistent about smoking accessories

"Do you have

of?" she asked.
That was a mistake. There are at least 10 words

"Get out of here;
we can't talk that way," the manager said. "It's Kansas law."
That's not true, according to local police.
porce. Despite what local shopkeepers say, there is no law against saying "pot" in a paranhernalia store.
Dan Dunbar, a Douglas County district attorney, said it was not illegal for someone to walk into these shops and say. "Hey, can I smoke marijuana out of this pipe?"
"I smoke many "Stores make this policy because they don't want to provide the law with a factor to determine whether they are selling paraphernalia," he said. Dunbar said store owners did have the right to create speech rules at their own discretion

At 7th Heaven, customers can't make any references to illegal drug use. The store keeps smoking devices in a separate room. Eric Mater, 7th Heaven employee, said anyone who used words such as "bong" or "hash" was asked to leave the room immediately.
"They can always come back tomorrow, but we can't sell to them at that time." Mater said.
Minton said Creation Station, 726 Massachusetts St., saw many customers who had been kicked out of 7th Heaven. She said that any mention of illegal drug use in discussion of smoking accessories would result in expulsion from the store.
"To sell smoking devices, stores must maintain policy." Minton said.

3 days of non-bias fun for both greeks and non-greeks
by Jason Plagman
What do you get when you send over 100 greek and non-greek students to camp for a weekend?
An opportunity for students to build leadership skills and break down stereotypes.
For the first time in Greek Endeavor's five-year history, members of the non-greek community participated alongside new fraternity and sorority members during the retreat held Nov. 9 to 11. Andy Knopp, newly elected Interfraternity Council vice president said that this change was a way to defeat the stereotypes between greek community members and students from residence and scholarship halls, as well as prejudices between greek chapters.
"As far as inviting members of the non-greek community, it was a huge success," said Tom Wait, IFC Greek Endeavor chair.
Several participants from the residence halls enjoyed the experience so much that they expressed interest in the spring recruitment process, and others offered to return next year as facilitators.
"That was big for me, to get someone to change a schema of thought about greek life for the better," said Amy Rhoades, Panhellenic Association Greek Endeavor chair.
Throughout the weekend, campers took part in trust games and team building exercises in order to develop leadership skills and create lasting friendships. Participants were also asked to take risks designed to build togetherness. During these activities, chapter and hall affiliations were kept secret so participants could get to know each other without preconceived ideas.
Campus leaders such as Richard Johnson, University of Kansas dean of students, Barbara Ballard, KU vicechancellor, Ruben Perez, coordinator of the Student Organizations and Leadership Center, and Justin Mills, student body president, spoke to the campers about the importance of campus involvement.
"The various speakers reinforced the idea that judging people before you get to know them can make you miss out on some great opportunities," said camper Steve Miller.
"I thought it was an outstanding weekend and everyone learned a lot from each other," said Angie Carr, director of Greek Programs.
At the conclusion of the retreat, the campers finally revealed his or her chapter or hall affiliation.
"It was gratifying to see the looks of surprise on individuals' faces when the chapters were announced," said Rhoades. "That was proof they had gotten to know each other on a level other than labeling."

the Greek Endeavor leadership retreat and had the opportunity to address some members of the greek community. At the end of my talk, a young lady asked me what the greek community can do to better represent itself to the overall university community and how greeks and non-greeks could work together.
by Justin Mills
I told her that increased interaction with the KU community and each other would go a long way to break down the barriers that divide us. I hope that I answered her question, and I want to take this opportunity to further address this topic and share some of my insights as to how we can form a stronger university community.
Wh
toge
What are some ways that greeks and non-greeks can work together for the good of KU? In answering this question, we must look at the interactions between the two groups. Before we can truly work together, I believe that we must strive to better understand each other. The way that I see this happening is through more interaction between the two groups.
A trend that I have seen in the Greek community is that its members are very much involved within that community. Unfortunately, this internal involvement limits some members' external involvement in other areas. I would strongly advocate greeks who
So why should this be a goal of the greek and non-greek communities? As KU students, it is in our best interest to work together. Being divisive is not only a waste of energy, but it impedes the overall effectiveness of the student body. There are numerous projects that could be accomplished if every student, regardless of affiliation, would come together and work for a common cause One example is when students collectively raised $31,300 to benefit the victims of the September 11th tragedy. If all students can come together to benefit others thousands of miles away, then surely we can do the same to benefit our community right here at KU.
are not already involved in events outside the greek community to do so. Volunteering is a great way to do this. Not only do you help the greater community, but hopefully you would, at the least, gain perspective beyond that of your own experiences. I think it is easy to stay within our comfort zones and stick with what is familiar. I challenge everyone, Greeks and non-greeks alike, to step outside their own comfort zone and experience new things.
With increased personal contact comes increased understanding. Any community will have people that will misrepresent them. When the university community has many positive experiences and contacts with those involved in fraternity and sorority life then those who misrepresent the greek community's actions will be severely marginalized.
At Greek Endeavor, I was glad to see that some of the things I am talking about were being put into practice. At this year's retreat there were a number of non-greek residence hall students in attendance. Hopefully both sides went away with an increased understanding of each other and a willingness to educate other students. Although it may have only involved a limited number of students, Greek Endeavor was a great start to what could be a more vibrant, more productive, and more exciting KU community.

In the long run, it all pays off: Men of Pi Kappa Phi to recieve charter
HO 4 UP
Members of the Kansas associate chapter of Pi Kappa Phi will recieve their charter, which will officially recognize them as Theta Epsilon of the University of Kansas, on Dec. 8, 2001. The chapter's 61 members are acknowledged as founding fathers.
For nearly two years, the men of Pi Kappa Phi have labored to build a strong chapter at the University of Kansas. Their hard work is about to pay off.
by kristin keeney
On December 8, the Kansas associate chapter of Pi Kappa Phi will receive its charter, a certificate of official recognition from the fraternity's national organization, to become Theta Epsilon.
"Having a charter simply means that we are standing on our own two feet, and we've come into being a fraternity that is functioning at a high level," said Jake Albers, Pi Kappa Phi president. "This is what we've been working towards."
In February 2000, representatives from the national organization interviewed and selected 38 men to colonize Pi Kappa Phi at KU. One month later, on Mar. 3, the men elected officers while getting to know one another during a retreat. This event marked the fraternity's local founding.
"It's been a really tough process, doing everything from the beginning," said Josh Kropf, vice president. "We started from scratch with a book and some guidelines, and we went from there. Receiving our charter will be absolutely amazing to me."
In order to obtain its charter, Lyle Dohl, chartering chairman, said the chapter had to meet a number of requirements such as maintaining a GPA above the KU all-fraternity average, acquiring a set number of members and getting their finances in order.
"It has been a huge struggle for us," Albers said. "I remember the first chapter. We've come 180 degrees from where we were."
The chapter also had to develop a constitution, bylaws, and code of conduct, as well as assemble a standards board and a chartering brochure that included biographies of all 61 members, Dohl said.
Although it was a lot of work, Dohl said it was worth it all.
"You can always join a fraternity, but we get to start one. This was our chance to come up with
our traditions instead of having them handed down to us," Dohl said.
This rare opportunity to become a founding father was enough to change member Dave Buchanan's mind about the greek community. Buchanan didn't think he needed to join a fraternity when he first came to KU.
"I thought there was so much to do in college that I didn't really need to be greek," Buchanan said. "But I thought this was such an unbelievable way to do that I had to be apart of it. I have done a 180 with the Greek system."
Interfraternity Council President Andy Knopp said it was a great step for Pi Kappa Phi to receive its charter, which will enable the chapter to vote on all IFC matters.
"I look forward to having their
input," Knopp said. "They have been great contributors since they have been here on campus."
"We are starting to come into our own," Dohl said. "KU has a great greek tradition, and we want to contribute to that tradition."
During a black-tie banquet at the Marriott in Downtown Kansas City, Theta Epsilon will be presented with the charter this Saturday before several alumni and national Pi Kappa Phi representatives. The chapter has sent out numerous invitations to KU faculty, sorority and fraternity presidents, Panhellenic Association and IFC.
"It's going to be a good way to bring all the work that we've done to a close for the year," Dohl said.
However, before members can celebrate, Dohl said they must

complete a written test on Thursday, oral interviews on Friday, and rituals of initiation Friday night and Saturday morning. The rituals will take place in a church and members will attend a service in the same building on Sunday.
"We finally established a fraternity with a good group of guys. We're ready to move forward," said member Jay Brunner.
The chapter's next focus will be on housing, Albers said. "We obviously want a place called home, but I think we've proven that we don't have to have a house to be successful at KU."
Even without a house, the men have already established a solid foundation on the KU campus. "We can only go up," said Albers.
GAMMA lock-in promotes non-alcoholic fun
by blake shuart
A few weeks ago, while the majority of KU students were out partying with friends on a typical Friday night, greek new members spent an evening together eating, joking, and learning how to maturely manage alcohol at the Greeks Advocating Mature Management of Alcohol lock-in.
The evening took place on October 26th at Robinson
Atheletic Center, and was sponsored by InterFraternity Council, Panhellenic Association and KU.
The lock-in, which lasted from 10 pm to 2 am, featured such activities as volleyball, basketball, pumpkin painting and carving contests, and also
"GAMMA was a great experience because it showed me that I can have a good time without alcohol," said Kristi Rossley, Pi Beta Phi. "It was a good way to meet people from other sororities."
included large assortment of refreshments for all participants.
The annual event has been both successful and rewarding for the past four years.
"The tradition keeps growing and expanding as the years go on, and we hope that soon involvement will spread to encompass all new greek members and a large portion of other greeks on campus," said Scott Thein, former IFC vice president for risk management.
Organizers came up with new
ways to make this year's lock in more worthwhile.
"This year we've added a few new events designed to show the negative effects of drinking," said Matt Sargent, GAMMA chairman and member of Phi Kappa Psi. "We also redesigned the T-shirts and attempted to gain more sponsorship in the areas of food and entertainment."
The lock-in also presented participants with a unique social opportunity. Cara Milligan, Pi Beta Phi, viewed
GAMMA as "a worthwhile experience, because I was able to meet a variety of people that I would probably not know otherwise."
Summing up the focus of the event, Thein said, "Even if it is only one night a year, GAMMA is a great experience for everyone involved and definitely goes a long way towards discouraging the abundant use of alcohol. Hopefully it will continue to grow and prosper long after I graduate."

National black greek leadership: NPHC recognized, awarded
by maggie newcomer
"We applied for the award two weeks prior to the conference," said Chris Haydel, NPHC president.
The National Black Greek Leadership Conference was held Oct. 26 to 28 at Ohio State University, and for the second year in a row, the National Pan-Hellenic Council from the University of Kansas was recognized as the year's Best Council. The conference was open to Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic Association, Latino, and non-greek organizations across the country.
Judging for the award was based on each council's community service activities, projects to promote greek, Latino, or African-American unity on campus, and on overall positive influence on the university, Haydel said.
"We're excited about winning the award," said Amber Sellers, first vice
president of NPHC. "We hope to continue the tradition of excellence that has been passed on from year to year."
NPHC won the award for their service at KU and in the Lawrence community.
"One of our biggest community service projects is our annual Step Show," said Haydel. "It's a fundraiser for three scholarships that we give out in memory of three deceased African-American students."
This year's step show will be Apr. 27, 2002, and planning is already underway. Each chapter involved in NPHC also conducts its own community service projects throughout the year, said Irad Ordune, second vice-president of NPHC.
Next year, the conference will be held at KU from Oct. 4 to 6.

"I'm pretty sure we'll apply for this award again next year, but that's totally at the discretion of next year's council," Haydel said. "The award this year was really won for the efforts of last year's council."

A local band, TheDraft, is in the final stages of putting together their first original rock album. They have spent a lot of time on the project within the past year,and expect to release the album sometime next spring.
"This is a fairly elaborate production record we've gone for," said Bob Connealy, guitarist and singer.
Four seniors from the greek community make up The Draft. Bob Connealy is a member of FIJI, while Jon Ferns, Tim Fitzpatrick, and Kyle Marler are members of Alpha Tau Omega.
The band members have been friends for many years. They began their music career practicing in backyards during their high school days and performing in competitions such as Battle of the Bands.
They have stuck together ever since, and now they can be seen playing in many Lawrence bars. They frequently perfom at Fatso's, Jazzhaus and Jerseys; on occasion they put on shows in Kansas City. The band primarily plays rock, but they also play cover music
Fitzpatrick, guitarist and singer, said he likes. "Having a hobby where your friends can come see you, is enjoyed by other people, and is fun for everyone."
The men remain dedicated to their studies and a number of campus activities as well. Whether it be Adopt-A-School, Rock Chalk Revue, or the Board for Undergraduate Research Award Symposium, each member has contributed to the University of Kansas in many ways.
With so many activities time becomes a constraint in their lives. "It's tough," said Marler, guitarist, but they always make performances a priority. With college almost behind them, they remain focused on the future success of the band.
"We're going about our lives not aiming to be rock stars, but still playing music while we do our other things," said Ferns, drummer. "So if that goes, then we're going to go for it."
The band will be performing on Stop Day, Dec. 14, at Fatso's. Connealy said, "Hopefully there will be a lot of people looking to go out and we will get a good crowd in there."
Dancing the night away
by laura dakhil
Men and women across the community are probably soaking in tubs and asking for feet massages after being on the dance floor for six hours straight this past weekend. Although they might be worn out and recooperating physically, inside they should be fully energized because their hard work was unselfishly done for the benefit of others.
The Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Association hope to have raised $15,000,the amount needed to pay off the House that Greek Built finished in October.
Participants paid $45 to enter alone, $80 to dance as a couple, and $5 to just drop by and take-in the excitement. All proceeds went to the project.
"The point of the Dance-a-thon is to allow everyone to do his or her part in giving someone a place to live, said Jen Bacani, former Panhellenic vice president of philanthropy and community service. "If people didn't get a chance to help out with the actual building, this is the opportunity to do something equally important for Habitat for Humanity."
This year, organizers came up with new ways to keep participants going. Some talented visitors dropped by to provide entertainment for the hardworking dancers. These groups included the Crimson Girls National Pan-Hellenic Council, and Queers and Allies.
Throughout the evening, sessions were held teaching participants different dance steps and styles. Ballroom, swing hip-hop, and unity step dancing were incorporated into the event. The schedule kept the energy level high throughout the six hours.
Though the event is only in its second year, organizers think it shows promise.
"I think the concept of a dance-a-thon is a good one to build a tradition upon, where students from all over the campus and the community can get involved and be apart of a wonderful service project," said Kelly Jo Karnes, assistant director for Greek Programs.
Mark Ruder, former IFC vice president for philanthropy and community service is also looking ahead.
"We hope to make this year's Dance-aThon a huge success and pave the road for its continued success for years to come."
Dear Judd O'Neal, Grant Jones, Brad Eisel, and the men of Phi Delta Theta: We just want to thank you guys for all your hard work. Staying up into the early hours of the morning coloring and spending all day and night in the recording studio PAID OFF! We are so excited to continue working with you guys. Here's to another "precious" semester and a "cute" show... we mean "cool" show!!

Outside Liberty Hall the night air was cool and crisp. Inside, however, anticipation filled the glowing room where 11 pairs of directors from both fraternities and sororities gathered to find out if their show would be one of five to perform in this year's Rock Chalk Revue, benefitting United Way.
The program began shortly after 8pm. All members of the Rock Chalk Advisory Board filed onto the stage as Mike Rodriguez, Executive Assistant Director for Rock Chalk announced the theme Look Both Ways and the dates March 7-9 for the showing of Rock Chalk Revue 2002.

After general announcements were made Angela Agustin, Executive Director for Rock Chalk, stepped out of line and then moved behind the podium.
She then looked out among the directors then down at the podium where she began to read the names of the five pairs of participants that would create the 53rd annual Rock Chalk Revue.
The room remained fairly composed as groups withheld emotions out of respect for those who either did or did not make it into the show. The Rock Chalk committee filed off the stage and the room quickly emptied.

Directors from Kappa Delta and FIJI wait in anticipation for the announcement of the names of the five pairs who will be in Chalk 2002.
"We are so happy, we worked so hard. It's an incredible honor, " said Katie Yarnevich, director for Alpha Gamma Delta.
For Alpha Gamma Delta, this will be their first appearance in 7 years. As for Pi Kappa Phi, who will be newly chartered in December, this will be their first time ever to participate in the show.

The air was full of small talk and jubilation as two sororities gathered together in celebrations of their future partnership and creation of "Doin' Time," the show which enabled them to be in Rock Chalk 2002.
The idea of two sororities partnering together for the show is a first and one that Julie Hall, Kappa Kappa Gamma director said "Is going to open up all kinds of doors."
As for the obstacle of making it in the show, Hall said, "I was really confident. I had no doubt. Our interviews went well."
Both Jones and Eisel recall not hearing anything after they heard their groups name which was announced first.
Disco balls and strobe lights flashed across the faces of Brad Eisel and Emily Jones, both directors from Chi Omega and Phi Delta Theta, as they described their emotions of the day.

"I was nervous. It was a very long day,very hard to sit through class," said Eisel.
The music bellowed through the speakers as Erin Frichtel director for Alpha Chi Omega, described her group of director's feelings and emotions before the announcement that their creation "Hearts o' Gold" made it into the show.
"We were the third group of names announced. We were all holding hands and shaking. Some were crying."
For Frichtel, making it into Rock Chalk has changed her entire outlook on next semester. "I can't wait to see it on stage. We've been talking about it for too long," said Frichtel. Delta Gamma and Beta Theta Pi at The Tee Pee 10:10nm

was made we were all standing there shaking. I thought I was going to pee my pants," said Williams.
Afterwards, the group of directors walked into The Tee Pee together with lights flashing all around them knowing their show "Days of Our Hives" was one of five to perform in Rock Chalk. They then told their fellow fraternity brothers and sorority sisters, "We've done an awesome job. Get ready to benefit United Way and help out Rock Chalk 2002."
Now that the In/Out announcement was made, what lies ahead for those who have made it into Rock Chalk Revue?
According to Agustin, daily practices will start on January 17 and will continue until the running of the show two months later.
So for now, the groups that will make up Rock Chalk 2002 will have fond memories of celebration on the night of November 19, but work has now only just begun.

Negotiations end with no agreement. GTAC says
By Eve Lamborn Kansan staff writer
After 14 months of contract negotiations, the University of Kansas and the Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition finally agreed on something yesterday — they are at an impasse
The two sides met one more time to make a final decision on the status of their contract talks after the KU administration requested an impasse two weeks ago. This meeting gave the coalition a chance to respond to the University's request. The groups decided to end their face-to-face bargaining.
The next step is for the Public Employees Review Board of the state of Kansas to provide a mediator to try and reconcile the dispute and find common ground.
Todd Cohen, assistant director of University Relations, said the two sides did agree yesterday on new conditions regarding graduate teaching assistant appointments. The new rules allow a student to be enrolled in one credit hour and remain a GTA, which helps students who are working on their doctoral dissertations and doing outside research. The old provisions had a six credit minimum for GTAs
But the groups did not agree on salaries and benefits.
Cohen said the state budget shortfall, which the governor said could be $225 million dollars, made the coalition's salary proposals unreasonable.
Robert Vodicka, chairman of the coalition negotiation committee, said he was frustrated with the University's proposals.
"The fiscal climate is not good," he said.
proposals. "We're disappointed in the Chan cellor and his administration for not making working conditions and learning conditions a higher budget priority," said the humanities and western civilization GTA.
About 20 GTAs came to the meeting yesterday and attempted to sit in on the talks until they were asked to leave by the University.
Amy Cummins, coalition president, said the University threatened to stop talks then and there if the GTAs not on the negotiating team didn't leave. She said the GTAs had followed the rules of the talks, but they complied with the University.
"We wanted to make sure they had received our counter proposals and gave them attention," she said. "They were looking for any excuse not to negotiate."
Lynn Bretz, interim director for University Relations, said the ground rules for negotiations said that each side could have only a few observers. She said the University was within its rights to ask some coalition members to leave.
"Having an excess of 20 people was not conducive to negotiations," she said.
The University offered a minimum base salary of $7,000 that would increase by $1,400 over the next two years of a GTA's term. The University also offered to seek the same merit salary increases for GTAs as it does for faculty members and subsidize GTA insurance at the same level as it does other KU employees.
other KU employees. GTAs and faculty members both earn about 88 percent of the average salaries of KU's peer universities. The KU administration said it wanted to close this gap and was seeking the money to do so.
GTAs will remain under the contract until a new one is negotiated.
Fee hike finds little favor
Law students voice concern during presentaton
By Paul Smith Kansan staff writer
A tuition increase next fall may force Zak King to quit law school so he can continue to afford caring for his 1-year-old son.
"I hope the tuition increase doesn't go through," said King, a Hays first-year law student. "It means increasing my work hours, which means decreasing my studies."
Contact Lamborn at 864-4810
He chose the University of Kansas for the low tuition rate, and now the University has offered six tuition increase proposals that could raise the cost
But an increase between 15 and 62 percent may hit next fall, although it is still undetermined whether any increase will affect only incoming freshmen or all students.
between 61 and 123 percent within four years.
"I would be in favor of the new students taking the hit," King said. "They would know the cost coming in."
Three tuition increase scenarios were drafted in accordance with a request from the Board of Regents to consider tuition increase options. Each scenario includes two proposals for the increase to apply to only freshmen or all students.
The first scenario would increase in-state tuition to $173.75 per credit hour by 2006.
Within the same time period, the second scenario would bring tuition to $153.75 per credit hour, and the third scenario would bring it to $125.75 per credit hour.
Currently the in-state tuition rate per credit hour is $77.75.
April.
Provost David Shulenburger started presentations last week to inform students, faculty and administrators at each school about the University's tuition increase strategies. King was in the audience yesterday at Shulenburger's law school presentation.
Non-resident students would pay the same dollar amount for any increase that the Regents approve for in-state students in April.
Administrators contend that the University has low tuition

TO EARN A LIVING, DOUGLAS COUNTY BONDSMEN PUT THEIR TRUST IN ACCUSED CRIMINALS AND TOGETHER THE TWO OPERATE
borrowed time
STORY BY COURTNEY CRAIGMILE PHOTOS BY CHRIS BURKET
Michelle Hattimer leaned back in the bleachers and watched her son run onto the baseball diamond, her long red nails brushing curly bangs off her moist forehead. It was the last game Luke, her 17-year-old son, would play this season and the only one she'd been able to attend all summer.
Dudelyn, her red Nokia cell phone rang. It was a collect call from someone whose name she did not recognize and she debated whether to
answer. She was in Oskaloosa, and she

knew whoever was on the other end of the phone was calling from the Douglas County IaI.
Oh well, she thought to herself, this could be the big one, the million dollar bond that would let her retire before 50. She took the call.
She took the call.
On the other end of the line was a woman who was at the jail with her son, arrested on charges of felony theft. It would take a $30,000 bond to bail him out.
The woman's mother in-law was on her way to the jail with $3,000 in hand to pay Hattimer. The mother-in-law was ready to put up her house as collateral in the court that her grandson jumped bail
"I'll be right there," Hattimer told the woman, climbing in her black Pontiac Grand Am and driving quickly to
Lawrence. The three women met in the lobby of the jail and in little more than an hour, the man was free and Hattimer was driving home with a check for $1,350. her share of the $3,000 bonding fee charged by her company, ABC Bonding
Hattimer is one of 25 bondsmen licensed in Douglas County who make their living lending money to the least trustworthy class of borrowers - accused criminals so they can be released from jail pending trial.
lectic schedules
Bonding is a bit like insurance. In return for a fee paid up front, bondsmen guarantee that their clients will show in court on an appointed date or they must pay the full bail set by the judge. The judge determines how much bail is required for a defendant. Factors such as ties to the community, job status and criminal history factor into the amount of bail.
Bondsmen like Hattimer are on call 24 hours a day, have no office other than a cell phone and a car and many are workaholics. They sacrifice sleep and family life to post bonds at all hours of the day. When their clients fail to show up in court, bondsmen also put on the hat of a bounty hunter, forced to track down the suspects so the entire amount of the bond isn't forfeited.
Unless the accused criminal jumps bond, the only money that changes hands is the fee the bondsman charges a client. If the criminal skips town, the bondsman is required to pay courts the full amount of the bail or bring the criminal back to jail.
the average bondsman in northeastern Kansas posts about 30 bonds a week. Each takes about an hour to write. Kansas law mandates that bondsmen charge a fee equal to 10 percent of the face value of each bond.
"It's a job with a sizeable income, but also lots of downfalls and lots of headaches," said Hattimer, who was
earning a six-figure income after being in the business only two years. Previously, she was a dealer a Harrah's Casino and a hair stylist.
"People go 'Oh, yeah, you can make a lot of money.' You can, but there no routine in your life," Hattimer said.
She quit at Harrah's and cuts hair once a week. But bonding comes first.
"All my clients know that if I'm supposed to cut your hair, and I get a call, especially for a big one, I'm taking the bond," she said. "You can get your hair cut later."
Sam Fields, a bondman with AJ's Bonding and Applejacks Bonding, has been in the business since 1994. He started with Applejacks Bonding and acquired AJ's Bonding in 1998 when the previous owner died.
"I don't know that I'd call it fun, but I decided I wanted to do it one day, so I just did," Fields said.
He said he purchased AJ's to buy goodwill and satisfied clients.
"People associate good things with a name. When I bought AJ's, I essentially bought all his clients who were happy with his service." Fields said.

Recognition has a price tag in honor societies
By Eve Lamborn Kansan staff writer
The newest members of the Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society walked across the stage in Woodruff Auditorium Sunday afternoon and received a pin signifying their membership, but they paid a $41 initiation fee for the honor.
The top 5 percent of seniors and the top 10 percent of graduate students are invited to join Phi Kappa Phi, which includes students from all academic disciplines. David Darwin, scholarships
and awards coordinator for the University of Kansas chapter of Phi Kappa Phi, said about 300 seniors and graduate students were invited to join this year.
Several honor societies induct KU students who have good academic records. In most cases, becoming a member requires a fee in addition to good grades. That discourages some KU students from joining.
Of those 300,92 students became new members by paying the initiation fee which entitled them to a pin, certificate and journal subscription.
Darwin, distinguished professor of civil and environmental engineering, said he joined the society while a senior at Cornell University. He later became a lifetime member, which required that he pay an additional one-time fee of about $200.
"I like it because I get to interact with people from all the schools," he said. "These are the best and the brightest."
He said the purpose of the organization was to honor outstanding students, but the group also offered fellowships for members.
"It's really meant to distinguish students and honor excellence in all disciplines," he said.
Katie Howle, Leawood senior, said she joined Phi Kappa Phi this year because she felt honored to be invited into the organization. She said she would probably also become a lifetime member, and she said she did not mind paying the membership fees.
"I'd like to further educational opportunities for future generations," she said. "It's expected that you give money so that

The KBI identified the suspect as Carlos Antioni Cobbs, 23.
Johnson, 56, was helping a woman recover her children from the apartment when he was shot, the KBI said. Cobbs had taken the children from a baby sitter to his apartment.
Israel attacks Arafat's aircrafts, headquarters
The Associated Press
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Prime Minister Ariel Sharon declared war on terror yesterday, and Israeli air strikes destroyed two of the Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's helicopters in Gaza and hit West Bank security installations.
Ten Palestinians were wounded in the missile attack by Israeli helicopter gunships near Arafat's seaside headquarters. Arafat was in the West Bank at the time of the attack.
the West Bank Palestinian officials said the harsh reprisals undermined a sincere Arafat effort to crack down on Islamic militants after the suicide bombings.

However, Israeli Defense Minister Bininyam Ben-Eliezer told reporters that Israel had no intention of bringing down Arafat's administration.

U.S. told to return to high alert
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Bush's homeland security chief asked Americans to return to a high state of alert yesterday, citing threats of more terrorist attacks, possibly around "important religious observations" this month.
Federal officials said the alert should continue at least through the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan in mid-December. Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge did not mention any religious faith but said officials took the "convergence of different religious observations" into account when they decided another alert was in order.
when they decided another action.
"Now is not the time to back off." Ridge said.
"Obviously, the further we're removed from Sept. 11, the natural tendency is to let down our guard. We cannot do that. We are a nation at war."
Yesterday's warning, issued by the FBI to law enforcement nationwide as well as to the general public, was the third since the hijacker attacks in September and the anthrax letters in October. The FBI issued the two others on Oct. 11 and Oct. 29.
Ridge did not cite a specific threat, but said U.S. intelligence had seen an increase in the volume of information warning in general of more attacks.
Bush reviewed the analysts' conclusions and "he approved our decision to go forward
"The quantity and level of threats are above the norm," Ridge said, "and have reached a threshold where we once again should put the public on general alert."
and make the announcement," Ridge said.
Asked if he worried that Americans were becoming jaded by the repeated alerts, Ridge said the process of warning the public "is an art, it's not a science. There are shadowy soldiers. This is a shadowy enemy."
The FBI issued the earlier alerts in the days after the U.S. military launched airstrikes in Afghanistan Oct. 7, targeting Osama bin Laden and his Taliban protectors. Bin Laden is the prime suspect in the Sept. 11 attacks.
suspicious behavior. Meanwhile, law enforcement officials told The Associated Press that investigators have gathered evidence showing similarities among the last three terrorist attacks against Americans by Osama bin Laden's supporters.
Ridge urged citizens to view the alert as "a signal to be vigilant" and asked that they report suspicious behavior to local authorities.
The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the similarities included the way the attacks were planned, communicated and carried out and the way the attackers were trained. The officials declined to be more specific.
cans by Osama bin Laden. Those attacks include the Sept. 11 suicide hijackings, the October 2000 bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen and the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa.
The investigators said they also are examining whether some of the same people were involved in planning and assisting the three attacks.

stayings. James Parker, 17, will plead guilty to an adult charge of accomplice to second-degree murder in the stabbing of Susanne Zantop. Prosecutors and defense attorneys did not say what would happen to the murder charge involving the victim's husband.
The charge carries up to life in prison. The agreement needs a judge's approval. A hearing was scheduled for Friday.
The Boston Globe and the Boston Herald said yesterday a family friend told them that Parker would testify against his friend Robert Tulloch as part of the agreement.
Last week, Tulloch's lawyer served notice that the 18-year-old will mount an insanity defense when he goes on trial in April.
Parker and Tulloch were charged with first-degree murder in the Jan. 27 stabbing deaths of Zanton and her husband, Half, in their Hanover home.
Gas spill closes highway, pollutes stream and wetland
FAIRHAVEN, Mass. — A tanker truck overturned late Sunday and spilled thousands of gallons of gasoline that closed Interstate 195 and prompted residents to evacuate their homes yesterday.
Residents left 25 nearby homes as a precaution and stayed away for several hours.
Some of the 9,000 gallons of fuel that spilled reached a stream feeding a pond that supplies Fairhaven's water, but collection booms placed in the stream prevented contamination of the town's drinking water, said Mark Merchant, public affairs director for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in Massachusetts.
However, a wetland area near the spill will require an extensive cleanup, said Teresa Baroa, a representative for the state Department of Environmental Protection.
Police said the cause of the accident remained under investigation.

KU alumna celebrates women's achievements

cles.
Sara Paretsky, native Kansan and best-selling author of VI. Warshawski detective novels, was the inaugural guest speaker for the Emily Taylor and Marilyn Stokstad Women's Leadership Lecture yesterday. The Division of Student Affairs sponsored the event. Taylor was the dean of women at KU from 1956 to 1974. Stokstad is a Judith Harris Murphy distinguished professor of art history.
Paretsky addressed women's issues dating back to the 19th Century. In her freshman year at KU in 1964, she said she was expected to earn her MRS degree, a play on a stereotype that women were only supposed to get married.
"At the University, women were expected to marry someone with better earning power, to be better wives and mothers," she said.
mothers, she said. Paretsky also spoke out against unequal salaries between men and women, domestic violence and sexual
abuse against women and opponents of feminism.
She also blasted movies such as There'S Something About Mary for degrading women.
"In a perverse way, as women become stronger, the images of degradation become stronger." Paretsky said.

She praised Emily Taylor and Stokstad for their contributions to the University and women's issues. Paretsky recalled a dinner Taylor and Stokstad held when she was at KU.
"They asked me what I planned to do with my college education," Paretsky said. "No adult had asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I went numb. I didn't have an answer. It was an exhilarating and frightening night."
Brittany Ronsse, Marquette junior and proctor for Sellards Scholarship Hall, presented Paretsky with a plaque. Paretsky lived in Sellards while at KU.
"She's a role model of an excellent feminist and a person who went after her dreams and achieved them," Ronsse said.

Professor to study Tibetan DNA samples to find origin of people
By Erin Day and Kelley Weiss Special to the Kansan
The unique history of Tibetans and the mysteries of their genetic lineage inspired a University of Kansas professor to travel to Nepal and India looking for answers.
Felix Moos, professor of anthropology, is incorporating DNA sampling to uncover the origins of the 2,500-year-old Tibetan population. He said the most effective way to determine genetic origins of a population was through DNA sampling.
Working as an anthropologist, Moos said applying his knowledge to real-life problems was crucial to fulfilling his duty.
"I don't feel comfortable being an anthropologist confined only
In the spring of 2000, Moos traveled to Nepal and India to obtain genetic information about Tibetans. During a one-month period, Moos sampled Tibetan men and women of all ages. Through DNA testing, Moos is attempting to determine the precise origin of the Tibetan people.

Previous techniques used for determining genetic lineage include analyzing similarities in cultural and linguistic traits between many populations. Contemporary anthropologists debate the regional ancestry of Tibetans. Modern Tibetans exhibit traits that lead anthropologists to ask if two subsultures of different biological origins exist.
Migration patterns from the northeast of China and southeast of India contribute to the diversity in Tibetan lineage, according to the Web site of Stanford University Professor Jonathan G. Ma about Tibetan history.
Michael Crawford, professor of anthropology, is also testing
and analyzing the genetic makeup of the Tibetan DNA. Crawford has worked on similar DNA-related projects that determined the origins of the Aleuts of the Aleutian Islands off the coast of Alaska and the Basques of the Pyrennes mountains in Spain and France.
When assessing DNA, Crawford examines fragments of the strand and compares the fragments to those of other populations.
By matching fragments to those found in other strands, Crawford can determine whether the strands are related and come from similar origins.
"By examining DNA, we can construct our history," Crawford said. "It's important for populations to know who we are and where we come from."
where we collected the DNA through a simple procedure using an instrument similar to a toothbrush. He then suspended the DNA samples in vials, but encountered difficulty preserving the samples because of limited access to necessary refrigeration. He came back with only 80 usable samples.
He will return to Nepal this spring to continue his research.
Tibet's 42-year struggle for freedom from communist China inspired the activist movement for a Free Tibet that is recognized internationally and includes a local organization at KU.

themselves as "They don't see themselves as an organized state, rather as a spiritual culture," Pratt said.
Moos and Crawford will continue to analyze the DNA samples of the Tibetans, hoping to extract a definitive conclusion in regards to their origins. In his pursuit for applying anthropology, Moos, upon his return to the region of Tibet, will educate the residents about basic health issues and help assimilate them into modern medicine.

EDITORIAL Ask about fine print with cable from Sunflower
Sunflower Broadband has a virtual monopoly of the televisions in Lawrence. If someone wants cable, the only choice is to order through Sunflower. Given this fact, the tactics the company employs to lure potential customers in are quite bewildering.
tollers in the area. First, the cable channels of Haskell Indian Nations University and the University of Kansas are 65 and 66. The only way anyone can get those channels is to pay for the expanded basic cable service.
PERSPECTIVE
pay for the college Students at the University must pay $31.95 a month just to watch their own student-run station. Sunflower could place those channels in its limited basic cable category, $19.95 per month, which would allow for more student viewership.
ship. Dana Gore, Sunflower's marketing director, explained that space limitations for multiple city programming didn't allow for those channels to fit into limited basic and that that 95 percent of customers already purchase expanded basic cable anyway.
The pricing of the plans is another confusing aspect of the cable service. Though $31.95 is listed on one of the brochures for expanded basic cable, the customer is actually being charged $35.31.The extra $3.36 is for state taxes federal taxes, FCC fees, and franchise fees.
Customers can assume there will be taxes added onto their service. But nowhere in the information Sunflower provides is it explained that there will be a 13 percent increase and that because there are no contracts to sign, a customer may not know until the first bill. Gore has said this will be corrected in a new brochure in the spring. In the meantime, customers are in the dark unless a customer service representative informs them.
The most misleading issue with Sunflower's brochures is that one of the pamphlets shows that limited basic cable includes channels 2 to 36. Limited basic cable only includes channels 2 to 28. Channels 2 to 36 cost extra. People may order Sunflower's cable packages thinking they will receive channels they will not.
These inaccurate brochures have been in circulation for months now. Customers may have purchased limited basic with the assumption that stations like HBO, Showtime, or Cinemax were included. Gore explained this card was "not a representation of what (the customers) are buying, but just a lineup of where the channels are located." Nevertheless, this card clearly lists those channels and more as part of the limited basic cable package.
This situation needs to be corrected before unwary customers purchase a package expecting more than they're getting. More importantly, it needs to be addressed before claims of false advertising starts hitting Sunflower's doorstep.

Not quite the sexiest show on earth
The so-called "sexiest night on television" was nothing but sexist and degrading for women. The supermodels of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show paraded down the runway in push-up bras, Gstrings and spiked heels for a prime-time network audience. The images of women everywhere were damaged as a result, yet few people even noticed.
result, yet people keep.
While ABC once struggled with the controversy of showing a naked male behind on NYPD Blue, it didn't even hesitate to flaunt practically nude women down a runway in the name of advertising. The media's portrayal of women as sexual objects is nothing new, but it's always disturbing when these images are so widely accepted and applauded by mass audiences.
and applauded by mass audiences. The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show was a patriarchal fantasy, packaged for network TV. Fully-clothed audiences were given the privileged gaze of viewing beautiful women in their underwear, dressed as "angels" or as Christmas presents waiting to be unwrapped. So-called "in-depth" interviews with the models attempted to humanize the sexualized bodies, but their shallow presentation only served to further teach the lesson that these women were little more than animated dolls.

I find nothing wrong with Victoria's Secret itself. The catalog is sitting somewhere on my coffee table right now. What I do find wrong is that the pages of a lingerie-shopping tool were brought to life during prime time network TV.
watch this thong fashion show. Few people complained of the sexual objectification of women and even fewer questioned the ethics of watching an hour-long commercial. No one wondered why network television would air a lingerie show in the first place, especially when it has never aired any other type of fashion show in the past.
This program was so successful because sex sells: It sells ratings, it sells lingerie and it also sells the oppression of women.
Twelve million people tuned in to
The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show taught audiences that women are to be viewed and valued as sexual objects alone. This is an image that is rarely, if ever, attached to men, especially not to Drew Carey, the man whose sitcom would have normally aired that night on ABC.

More fees put Kansas among elite
By Michael Johnson Guest columnist
The chancellor announced today the attainment of a goal set by former Chancellor Robert Hemenway of making the University of Kansas one of the "top 25 public universities in the U.S." As of today, almost all financial support (90.7 percent) for this so-called "public" educational institution is now financed through user fees and tuition. This goal has been accomplished over the years by the establishment of many separate charges, including:
The institution of the new building entrance fees — $10 per month per building, students now pay a
Smart card reading turnstiles have been placed at all building entrances so students can be assessed a separate fee (25 cents per day) for entering buildings in which they do not attend classes, and therefore, have not already paid the semester fee. These additional fees must be paid before the student receives a grade or diploma at the end of each semester.
diploma at the end of each semester Although there has been some student resistance to this new fee, it was seen by many as the natural outcome of a state policy that requires students to pay for improvements and maintenance to various "public" buildings
on the KU campus. These charges have been instituted as far back as the 1970s, when students were required to partially pay for the building of Wescoe Hall and in the 1990s, the new recreation center. Buildings are now identified by numbers such as "0510" (Classes of '05-'10) designating the years students were required to pay that particular construction fee.
only free restroom on campus. The present administration is quite proud that the percentage of tenured professorships has now dropped to just 10 percent of total staff, and the percentage of part-time faculty (assistant and associate professors) has risen to 90 percent, which is in keeping with goals set by the Hemenway administration in the early part of the decade. Those goals included decreasing dependence on intellectuals and experts in the education of students, and to run the university "more like a business."
The creation of pay turnstiles at the entrance to all restroom facilities on campus has allowed the University to adequately pay its classified staff next year, something the Republican-controlled legislature had refused to do for more than 30 years.

in faculty salaries, and "greater efficiency." According to an administration representative, this move has been fully justified by the 10 percent of tenured faculty who still manage to bring in enough research dollars to make the University a "top research institution."
Many graduate programs have been cut back or ended as the KU administration has decided it would not pay graduate teaching assistants wages commensurate to those of its former peer institutions. In 2010 it was unilaterally decided to pay GTAs in basketball tickets and brightly colored autumn leaves, because "these are highly valued items that make KU a great place to go to school." As many graduate programs at KU could not
recruit actively because of lack or funding, numbers of new graduates dropped dramatically, and students seeking master's and doctoral degrees found that other national programs provided the respect they deserved. In many programs undergraduates now teach sections (formerly taught by GTAs) as unpaid "inters," thereby saving the university millions of dollars in wages. At least one former Kansan reporter remembers an administrator in 2003 claiming, "Who needs graduate level education at a public university, anyway?"
The new library fees instituted in 2012 $2 per book moved from the shelf and $3 per check out have finally allowed the KU library system to build a new storage facility.
although in the years before this fee was collected some 5,000 journals had been canceled (never to be renewed) and acquisitions had dropped 50 percent because of lack of space, financial support and adequate staffing. Although a new dean of libraries, hired in 2001, had tried to stanch this bleeding of intellectual resources, the new dean received little support from past administrations and state legislatures. The research library was considered a "drain" on Kansas finances and "of no possible use to the majority of Kansans" who remain ignorant to the value of higher education.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — An on-and-off medication cycle may be able to control HIV, reduce side effects and cut costs in half.
"If further studies bear out what we've seen so far, it will mean that you can reduce the cost of therapy by 50 percent," said Mark Dybul, a clinical researcher at NIAID, which produced the study and is one of the National Institutes of Health.
Study says cycled HIV drug promising
Jeffrey Laurence of the American Foundation for AIDS Research cautioned that the cycling therapy had only been used experimentally in a small group of select patients. He said it should not be followed by the one million Americans infected with HIV except under the direction of a doctor in a controlled trial.
and then stopped for seven daws.
The experiment continued for up to 88 weeks. Blood tests showed the virus infection continued to be suppressed in all the patients who maintained the schedule, Dybul said. Two patients were dropped from the study because they failed to take their drugs as required.
The drugs were lowering the virus level, and the number of CD4 cells, which are crucial to a healthy immune system, was at a good level.
Dybul said cholesterol levels in the patients dropped by an average of 22 percent, and triglyceride levels were halved.
However, Dybul said it was clear that the group of antiviral drugs could control HIV infection but not cure it.
"This means that these patients will be on the drugs for the rest of their lives," Dybul said.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Two spacewalking cosmonauts removed an old rubber seal stuck to the international space station, clearing the way for space shuttle Endeavour to lift off today on a flight to the orbiting outpost.

Seal cut from space station for liftoff
In a spacewalk lasting less than three hours yesterday, Russian cosmonauts Vladimir Dezhurov and Mikhail Tyurin cut away the long, twisted snakelike seal and watched in
delight as the cargo ship finally clamped down hard on the space station.
"Good, guys, thank you so much," radioed Russia's Mission Control.
The cosmonauts brought the pieces of seal inside to be returned to Earth for analysis. The seal is thought to be from a Russian supply ship that departed with a load of trash on Nov. 22 and burned up in the atmosphere.
The supply ship could not be opened until it was tight against the space station. It contains food, clothes and supplies for the new space station crew that will fly up on Endeavour.
Dezhurov, Tyurin and their American commander, Frank Culbertson, have been living on the space station since August. They will be replaced by two Americans and one Russian who will stay until May.

Battery-powered scooter could change cities
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — "IT" is a scooter.
Capping months of speculation about his mysterious innovation, an inventor unveiled the device yesterday - a gyroscope-stabilized, battery-powered scooter that he hopes will revolutionize short-distance travel.
Dean Kamen and his backers are banking on the Segway Human Transporter to displace cars, leading to a realigned cityscape that's more people-friendly.
The single-rider Segway, until now known by only its code names "IT" and Ginger, "will be to the car what the car was to the horse and buggy." Kamen boasted in this week's Time magazine. "Cars are great for going long distances. But it makes no sense at all for people in cities to use a 4,000-pound piece of metal."
The two-wheeled Segway, which looks like a cross between a hand mower and a Razor scooter, travels at up to 12
It's designed to be difficult to fall from or knock over because of gyroscopes that work to keep it upright. Speed and direction are controlled by the rider's shifting weight.
Riders stand upright over the invention's single axle, navigating with a bicycle-like handlebar. A single battery charge can propel the scooter 15 miles along level ground.

A relationship begins to develop between the bondsmen and the criminals when the same bondsman bails out the same person.

Saturday Shaking Tree with The Draft
Both Fields and Hattimer said many clients were repeat offenders.

If Hattimer is bonding a repeat offender, she sometimes lets them pay the fee in installments because she knows she'll get her money.

pony as a teacher.
If Hattimer's client doesn't show up for court and she is forced to pay the face value of the bond, her insurance company, American Surety Insurance, pays 55 percent, leaving her responsible for 45 percent. The drawback is that Hattimer makes only 4.5 percent of the face value of the bond, while Fields gets to take home the full 10 percent. He makes more money at the end of the day, but he faces a greater risk of losing money.
8E.6th St. • 841 3888 abeandjakeslanding.net
Fields said he would take those bonds, but he charges a $50 minimum fee for his service.
Sometimes, accused criminals will pay the bonding fee, get out of jail and skip town to avoid going to court.
greatest list of hobbies Because Hattimer makes only 4.5 percent on each bond she posts, she tends to pass on people who are arrested for things such as failure to appear, failure to comply or driving under the influence because the bail for those offenses typically ranges from $100 to $250.
"I usually don't bond too many students. I won't make enough to make the drive from Oskaloosa worthwhile," Hattimer said.
Hattimer said most of her clients who jump bail are in jail on minor offenses.
"What's really bad is that people don't skip on the big bonds because you have collateral. You get their house; you get their grandmother's house; you get anything you can get. If you can't, they don't get the bond," she said.
"People jump bail all the time," Fields said. "We have at least two or three a week."
Because a bondsman's income is his bonding fee, Fields and Hattimer are dead set on getting all their money.
"I hound you to death till I get my money back,"she said about bail jumpers.
To do this, bondsmen slip into the role of a bounty hunter, setting out to track down and bring to court runaway clients who either jumped bail or failed to pay the total bond fee on time.
Kansas law gives bondsmen special powers to apprehend bail jumpers. They can carry weapons, as long as the weapon is registered and not concealed, and the law allows a bondsman to use reasonable means to make an arrest, including breaking and entering a fugitive's home or using a weapon to restrain someone.
Hattier carries handcuffs,
but refuses to carry a gun or knife.
Fields said he sometimes carried a gun in his vehicle, in case he had to take a client back into custody. On the hunt
Hattimer and Fields spend several hours a week chasing down bail jumpers, but say that sometimes finding
people is easy.
people is easy.
"I'll be driving down the street and see someone I'm looking for, so I will stop and get them." Fields said. "I've pulled people out of closets and out from under beds. My favorite is when people try to tell us they are someone else, and that I have the wrong guy."
Hattimer said one time she bonded two cellmates out, and one later jumped bond. She was able to find him when his cellmate, Andre, called to let her know that the bail-jumper was in Topeka. Andre knew he was in Topeka because Andre was supposed to go to his house to help him sort through the clothes he had just shoplifted. Hattimer said.
"You have to remember they're going to come home sometime," Hattimer said. "They have to come home."
"I told Andre to just keep him there, I was on my way," she said.
While chasing runaway fugitives might seem dangerous, neither Hattimer nor Fields has been injured doing it.
Sometimes the hunt can take days or weeks, especially if phone numbers are disconnected or people are out of town.
"Really, you're not in danger," said Hattimer, who stands about five-foot-six. "I'm not going to go to some guy's house by myself. I'm going to take a couple people with me. I'm not stupid enough to arrest somebody by myself. I know I can't wrestle somebody to the ground. I value my life more than that. That's why I call the police."
Fields, with a 6-2 frame and broad shoulders, said he preferred to look for people on his own "because it's more fun."
Fields hesitates to call police because in his eyes the relationship between police officers and bail bondsmen is not always a positive one.
"They just screw with you." Fields said about police. "They try to harass you, typically because you're taking people out of jail that they worked hard to put there."
The jail has a list of bondsmen registered in the county on the wall next to the phone so people who have been arrested can call a bondsman from the jail booking room.
Fields said at times his name remained on the bottom of the Douglas County Jail's bondsmen list, instead of being rotated every month.
Lt. Kari Wempe of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, who works in the booking department at the jail, said, "We absolutely do not recommend any bail bondsman over another. It's not allowed."
She said the list rotated every month, so all bondsmen got their chance to be listed first.
chance to be on top." Hattimer said. "Your calls increase like crazy."
First encounters
Unless the bondsman and the accused criminal have a previous working relationship, the first time the two meet is in the booking lobby of the jail, which has the atmosphere of an airport waiting area. Chairs are lined in rows, and a television set entertains those waiting. On the wall is a pay-
where prisoners can make collect calls to a bondsman, lawyer or loved one. On one wall is a door that leads to a small windowless room where the bondsman interviews the accused. A glass barrier divides the table with the bondsman on one side asking the prisoner questions that will determine whether the accused gets bailed out or has to remain in jail.
'It's like a game of 20 questions,' Hattier said.
"They're really impatient. They wanted out yesterday," she said. Hattimer questions her potential clients about everything: Where do they work, how long have they worked there, do they live in Lawrence and for how long, do their parents live here, what do they do for a living?
She's looking for clues that will let her know she will get her money.
phone
In the end, she said, "It's all about trust. If I don't trust you, I'm not going to bond you."
"Then we sit and wait for the cosigner. Nobody leaves the jail until I get some money." Hattimer said.
If she decides she can trust the pair of eyes staring across the table into hers, she writes the appearance and hands it to the jailers.
"We've had people waiting more than six hours," Wempsaid.
Once the money for the bondsman arrives, everyone is free to go, to meet again in court — or so the bondsman hopes.
The addiction
Despite their unsavory clientele, bondsmen love their profession.
Hattimer said she had become so addicted to the job that she even slept with her cell phone — so she wouldn't miss a call.
"Sometimes I'm just so tired that I want to turn it off, but then I think 'What if I miss the big one,' and I just have to leave it on," she said.
Hattimer said she didn't even shut her phone off the day her father died.
Hattimer said that in her profession, work came first.
"The day he died I had a couple of $3,000 bonds," she said. "I couldn't turn those down."
"I always tell my kids that it doesn't matter if we're eating Thanksgiving dinner," she said. "If that phone rings and it's a big bond, I'm going. We can eat when I get home."
Bail: The amount of money set by a judge that the accused must pay to ensure a court appearance.
Bond vs. Bail
Bond: A promise that the bondsman will pay the full amount of the bail if the accused doesn't show in court.

Big 12 teams fill bowl games
The Associated Press
DALLAS — A record eight football teams from the Big 12 Conference will appear in post-season bowls this year. Nebraska still has an outside chance to appear in the biggest one of them all — the Rose Bowl, where the national championship will be decided.
The Bowl Championship Series rankings came out on yesterday. Nebraska (11-1) had a surprise No. 3 ranking, which means the Cornhuskers could go to the Rose Bowl if Tennessee (No. 2 in the BCS rankings) loses to LSU on Saturday.
Colorado (10-2) which qualified for a BCS bowl by beating Texas 39-37 Saturday for the Big 12 championship, isranked No.4 in the BCS rankings, behind undefeated Miami (No.1) and Tennessee, which leapfrogged past Florida by beating the Gators on Saturday.
Should Tennessee beat LSU, it will be Tennessee and Miami in the Rose Bowl, and Nebraska and Colorado would appear in the Fiesta, Orange or Sugar bowls. Those BCS bowl lineups won't be announced until Sunday.
The six other bowl-bound Big 12 teams got their invitations yesterday — Oklahoma (10-2) to the Cotton Bowl, Texas (10-2) to the Holiday Bowl, Texas Tech (7-4) to the Alamo Bowl, Kansas State (6-5) to the Insight.com Bowl, Texas A&M (7-4) to the Gallery-furniture.com Bowl and Iowa State (7-4) to the Independence Bowl.
LSU likely would play Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl, should the Tigers lose to Tennessee on Saturday. That game is scheduled for Jan. 1. Oklahoma plays Texas every year in Cotton Bowl stadium, in Dallas, but has never played in the 65-year-old bowl classic.
Texas, which could have earned an invitation to the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1 in Pasadena by beating Colorado, will instead be in San Diego on Dec. 28, playing in the Holiday Bowl in San Diego against Washington (8-3), which tied for second in the Pac-10.
"Not many teams have the chance to win 11 games and finish in the Top 10, and that's something we want to do. It'll be a great matchup with Washington, and I know Rick (Neuheisel) will have
his team ready," said Longhorns coach Mack Brown.
The Longhorns are seeking to post 11 victories for the first time since 1983 and for just the fifth time ever. Texas also is looking to finish in the Top 10 for the first time since 1983. Texas was in the Holiday Bowl last year, losing a 35-30 shootout with Oregon.
The Alamo Bowl was Texas Tech's first choice, but it had been thought that the bowl would select Texas A&M to oppose Iowa (6-5). Instead, the Alamo Bowl invited Texas Tech (7-4). Texas A&M suffered from losing its last three games, against Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Texas.
Texas Tech lost to Texas, Nebraska and Oklahoma but beat Texas A&M and Kansas State.
Kansas State will play Syracuse (9-3) in the Insight.com Bowl on Dec. 29. A&M will play in the Galleryfurniture.com Bowl on Dec. 28 against the winner of Saturday's game between TCU (5-5) and Southern Mississippi (6-4), and Iowa State will play in the Independence Bowl on Dec. 27 against a SEC team still to be named.
Packers pull it off at the end
The Associated Press
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Facing a tie game with two minutes left Monday night, the Green Bay Packers weren't worried.
Not with Brett Faver on their side. And not with the Jacksonville Jaguars on the other.
Favre threw three touchdown passes, and ran six yards for the game-winner with 1:30 left to rally the Packers from 14 points down for a 28-21 victory over the laguars.
Favre rolled around left end on a bootleg, then just squeezed into the corner of the end zone for the go-ahead score.
(3-8) to midfield on their late desperation drive, but he was sacked on second-and-short, and two plays later lost a fumble to end yet another close loss.
Favre threw for 362 yards to help the Packers (8-3) stay one game behind Chicago for the NFC Central lead with the teams set to meet next Sunday.
The Jaguars blew a late lead for the fourth time in six games, and threw yet another distraction onto a pile that includes Jimmy Smith's recent positive test for cocaine and Tom Coughlin's potential candidacy for the Notre Dame job.
With the game tied at 21. Mike Hollis had a chance to give the Jaguars the lead, but his 42-yard field goal hit the left upright.
mitting 111 yards in penalties, enough to nullify Smith's 116- vard receiving night.
Most of the damage came at the expense of cornerback Fernando Bryant, who has made himself one of Jacksonville's numerous distractions this season, as the most outspoken critic of the soft-zone defenses the Jaguars have used to blow all those leads.
Before that, Favre rallied the Packers from a 21-7 deficit.

New York theaters suffer, unite
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — They stood on a crowded platform in one corner of Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village:
A trio of Andrews Sisters look-alikes from a holiday attraction called "Christmas at the Crawfords."
—The cast of "naked Boys Singing"— half-dressed.
-Actors and representatives from small, nonprofit theaters such as the Vineyard, the Flea, the Jean Cocteau Rep, the Irondale Ensemble, the Aquila, the Cherry Lane and more.
"Downtown," about 200 people sang, answering 1960s pop icon Petula Clark as she warbled her signature tune, a song that has become the rallying cry of embattled downtown New York theaters, restaurants, galleries and shops, most of them located in an area south of 14th Street on Manhattan's West Side. Since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, all have suffered.
A survey, released last week by the Alliance of Resident Theatres/New York, gave a gloomy assessment.
ART/New York, which represents more than 400 nonprofit theaters and theater-related organizations, said the direct loss of income from box-office revenues, space rentals, canceled bookings, fund-raising events and appeals, totaled nearly $5 million by the end of October. And projected losses for 2002 were estimated at $16.3 million.
"The survival of several smaller downtown theaters, which were disproportionately affected by the disaster, is in doubt," the report said.
Since Sept. 11, the umbrella organization has provided $255,000 in loans, grants and lines of credit to help its members
who need it the most.
The Washington Square Park extravaganza was the brainchild of a newly formed group called Downtown NYC, which was started to do just that.
"We decided we could help each other if we got together. The first meeting had 10 people, the second 85," said Scott Morfee, producer of the off-Broadway play Underneath the Lintel.
Out of their discussions came the idea for the rally, which was filmed for possible use later on as a television commercial. And a Web site was born, www.downtownnyc.info, to connect off-Broadway shows to discounts for restaurants, shops and more.

Sweet revenge a possibility for Jayhawks
Revenge is sweet, and tonight the Jayhawks might just get it against Wake Forest.
Fresh off a huge road win at Arizona, the tough nonconference schedule continues tonight as the No. 23 Demon Deacons come to town.
No.4 Kansas will be out for redemption against Wake Forest, and you can bet the 'Hawks are glad to be back on their home floor after last year's collapse in Carolina.
nool after No. 3 A year ago this Friday, the then-No. 3 Jayhawks took their perfect 7-10 record into Winston-Salem, N.C., and got whacked by the No. 11 Demon Deacons.
whenever he was out-hustled, out-muscled and just flat out embarrassed in the 84-53 loss. Roy Williams summed the night up by saying, "They totally kicked our tails everyway they could possibly be kicked."
The game was Williams' first game in his home state since turning down the North Carolina job, and it certainly wasn't the homecoming he'd hoped for. That night, Williams was handed one of the worst losses in his coaching career. The 31-point margin of defeat was the school's fourth worst all-time loss and only the 86-53 drubbing the year before at Oklahoma State was worse for Williams.
The 53 points Kansas scored during that game were a season low. An 11-20 assist-to-turnover ratio didn't help either. The Jayhawks were also out-rebounded 43-26, and while some of those missing boards could be attributed to Kenny Gregory's absence from the lineup, the 'Hawks needed much more than the injured Gregory on that night.
Fast forward 362 days, and here we are again with another great matchup between Kansas and Wake Forest. Of the four Deacons who did the most damage to Kansas last year, all but one remain on the roster.
Big man Darius Songaila is back this year and leads the Deacons in scoring, averaging more than 17 points a game. Songaila put up 10 points and eight rebounds last year against Kansas and will need an even bigger game tonight if Wake wants another win. Craig Dawson and Josh Howard are also back after combining for 41 points in last year's game.
With another national television audience, the table is set for some sweet revenge, and this time, there are several factors on Kansas' side.
The obvious one is the home-court advantage. Allen Fieldhouse will be rocking with fired up fans excited to welcome back the 'Hawks from their victorious trip into the desert.
Finally, this year, instead of losing one of its best players just in time for the Wake Forest game, Kansas should be welcoming one back. Freshman Wayne Simien is likely to return, and as we saw in the exhibition games, a healthy Simien really bolsters the Kansas frontcourt.
Secondly, Kansas has to be feeling good after the win at Arizona. On Saturday, the Jayhawks proved they were deep enough to win big games even when several of their best players were watching from the bench. The effort from the Kansas reserves was a big-time confidence builder for this team.
For those reasons, I really like the Jayhawks' chances tonight. While some might see a letdown coming after such a big road win, I'm not buying it. If the Hawks play with the same intensity they did on Saturday, they'll get their redemption tonight. The margin might not be the same as Wake's win last year, but some Deacon tail will definitely be kicked.
Hanni is a Topeka senior in broadcast management.
Wake-up time for Kansas
After an 84-53 loss, Jayhawks looking for a little payback
By Ryan Malashock Kansan sportswriter
Wake Forest pounded Kansas 84-53 last Dec. 7, leaving the Jayhawks with an everlasting nightmare. Well, make that a 636-day nightmare. At 8 tonight at Allen Fieldhouse, the Jayhawks can avenge that blowout loss and defeat their second-straight ranked opponent in the process.
No. 4 Kansas enters tonight's game with No.23 Wake Forest not just remembering its big victory at Arizona on Saturday but also recalling a past defeat.
Senior forward Jeff Carey said the Jayhawks had not forgotten last year's debacle in Winston Salem, N.C.
"It is motivation," said Carey, who had five rebounds in 22 minutes against Arizona. "It was embarrassing and pathetic on our part. We'll be ready this time."
Kansas (4-1) may be out for revenge tonight, but Wake Forest (5-1) will make that task a difficult one. The Demon Deacons start four seniors, all of who were major contributors on last season's team. First-year coach Skip Prosser has turned a team that was embarrassed in the first-round of last year's NCAA Tournament into a legitimate Atlantic Coast Conference contender. Early in the season, Wake Forest has defeated No. 21 Fresno State, Arkansas and Minnesota and lost only to No. 9
Syracuse in the championship game of the preseason NIT.
"Skip's so good, and he's got the kids to buy into his system immediately," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "They have a totally different style of play from last year's team."
Prosser's team is rebounding better and quickening the pace of the game by pushing the ball up the court, much like Kansas' up-tempo style.
uptemple style Demon Deacon forward Darius Songalia, 6-foot-9, and 6-forward Josh Howard combine to make one of the ACC's top frontcourts.
Kansas out-rebounded Arizona by only one rebound (45-44), and the Wildcats snatched 27 offensive rebounds on Saturday. To make matters worse for Kansas, freshman forward Wayne Simien may not be available tonight. Williams said Simien, who last week said he expected to play tonight, would be a game-time decision.
"They're a good rebounding team and that's something we're struggling with," said junior forward Nick Collison. "Songalia's obviously tough, and we're going to concentrate on keeping him off the boards."

Wake Forest ready for challenge
By Ali Brox Kansan sportswriter
With wins against Arkansas and Fresno State, plus a come-from-behind victory against Minnesota in the Big 10-ACC challenge. Wake Forest men's basketball coach Skip Prosser says his team is battle-tested. But those games will mean nothing when Wake Forest meets Kansas at 8 tonight in Allen Fieldhouse.
"We have never played yet as talented a team in as tough a venue as we will Tuesday night," Prosser said.
Prosser said the difference was more than just the rabid Kansas fans that can make it difficult to win in the fieldhouse — it is the
quality of the team that inhabits the building.
"Allen Fieldhouse is so difficult because of Kansas," Prosser said. "We're playing a premier team in one of the most famous arenas in the country."
Last year's meeting between the two teams ended in a 31-point loss for the Jayhawks. Prosser thought last year's game would be a factor that motivated Kansas, and his team would have to offset that factor by playing good basketball.
by playing good football.
"It is motivation," said Kansas senior forward Jeff Carey. "It was embarrassing. It was pathetic on our part."
Prosseremphasized the importance of his big men in the game because of the two All-
American candidates who start for Kansas.
"(Nick) Collison and (Drew) Gooden are two pros," Prosser said.
He said adding Wayne Simien and Jeff Carey into the mix made Kansas' front-court as good a set of players as there were in the nation.
Wake Forest rotates three players in the frontcourt, including senior forward Darius Songaila. Songaila is averaging 17.2 points and 8.5 rebounds per game, but Prosser's major concern is Songaila's average of four turnovers per game.
"Darius has played well," Prosser said.
"But he will be the first to tell you he can play better."
"When you have Boschee, Hinrich and Miles, you have three tough scorers." Prosser said. "That doesn't allow you to gang up on Collison and Gooden. They can score from all positions."
Prosser also said Kansas' three-guard backcourt would pose a challenge for the Demon Deacons.
They can respond to the challenge and pressure of playing Kansas in the fieldhouse will be interesting to see, Prosser said.
"We have to play with poise and with a measured intensity." Prosser said.

Kansas Crew rows off water during winter
Northern Kona
Bv Brent Briggeman
Kansan sportswriter
At 6 a.m., most University of Kansas students haven't even thought about hitting the snooze button yet.
"It's harder in the winter than when we're on the water," said Brian Fansler, St. Charles, Ill., junior. "At least on the water you can see the results of your work, but in the winter you put in the same work and don't get to see the rewards."
At this early hour, the Kansas Crew begins its strenuous daily routine. The club rowing team crowds into the boat house off Massachusetts Street and breaks the morning silence by turning more than a dozen rowing machines.
Kansas Crew members (left to right) Brian Fansler, Jeff Albritton, Bo McCall, Tommy Ryan and Rob Zachmann show off their muscles and boat, Northern Rosz. The team took third place at the Head of the Charles Regatta in October 20-21.

Fortunately for the team, a successful fall season has made this winter's training bearable.
The club's four-man-plus-coxswain boat finished third out of 70 boats and took the bronze medal in the club division at the Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston. The boat includes four rowers and a coxswain, who directs the crew and steers the boat
world. It annually attracts more than 5,000 athletes and 300,000 spectators.
The regatta, which had its 37th running Oct. 20 and 21, is one of the largest and most prestigious such events in the
Although no Kansas team had ever placed higher than 13th in the event, coach Kevin O'Rourke said he was pleased with the team's finish.
pleased with the result.
"People on the East Coast don't really know anything about Kansas rowing," said O'Rourke, a 1999 KU graduate. "But we knew we could compete with the top schools in the country if we put together a good race, and the guys had their best race of the year."
He said the race helped the team understand its potential and boosted team morale during the off season.
"We've got so many people working hard," O'Rourke said. "So for everyone to see those guys take home the medal, it helps everyone see what that work can turn into."
As a club team, the crew team receives $20,000 dollars from the University each year, but none of the athletes are on athletic scholarship. To help the budget, the team does a variety of fund-raisers.
Twice this year, team members have cleaned Allen Fieldhouse after basketball games. They rent out their services to professors in a rent-a-rower promotion, and last year they painted faces at Kansas
City Chiefs football games
"We do pretty much whatever we can think of to raise money," said Tommy Ryan, Leawood junior. "But part of the Boston trip came out of our own pockets."
Rowers say their effort is not without reward.
"I love competing, but at my size, this is my
only real option in college.," Fansler said.
The rowers' off-season will continue until March when they return to competition with a regatta with Kansas State and Wichita State.

Diverse panel mixed about meanings of slang terms

Four students discussed the different meanings and consequences words can have based on a person's cultural background.
Four students shared experiences of communication among members of their culture and those outside of their culture and found the results can have different meanings and consequences.

"Then it gives other people the OK to say that word. Now I don't call anyone a racist word because I don't want them to call me a word."
Panelist Mark Dupree, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, said a lot of his friends used the 'N' word.
"I fall under the category where I am one of those people who don't like to use that word, period," said Dupree, an African American. "A lot of people feel that within our race we know the meaning and what's behind it. We share that history."

"When I am around a friend I can be more comfortable talking because we share something," he said about his background. "Your level of comfort is higher. Outside your race, you have to make sure you're not stepping on anyone's toes."

New football coach hired
After a month-long search, Mark Mangino steps onto Kansas' field
By Jeff Denton Kansan sportswriter
Former Oklahoma offensive coordinator Mark Mangino became Kansas' football coach yesterday, ending a month-long search.
Mangino, who helped lead last year's Oklahoma team to a national championship, was introduced at a press conference yesterday afternoon by Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Al Bohl, Kansas athletics director. Mangino was also joined by his wife, Mary Jane, his two children, Samantha and Tommy, and his brother, Mike. Samantha is a sophomore at the University of Kansas.
The decision to hire Mangino came exactly 30 days after Bohl fired former Kansas coach Terrv Allen.
Bohl, who fronted a 16-person search committee, said Mangino, 45, had all the qualities Kansas was looking for — integrity, character, discipline and football knowledge, to name a few.

name a new.
"Through our search, several people rose to the top, but one stepped forward to capture the position," Bohl said. "We have an outstanding football coach, and he will be a great ambassador for our community and our state."
Rumors had circulated in the days
before the announcement that the other finalists for the position were John L. Smith, coach at Louisville, and Charlie Strong, the defensive coordinator at South Carolina.
Mangino, who has never been a head coach at the college level, becomes Kansas' 35th coach. Before his three-year stint at Oklahoma, Mangino was Kansas State's recruiting coordinator for six seasons before becoming its assistant head coach in 1998. He said that if he had never coached at K-State, he would never have had the opportunity to coach at Kansas. But he said he was pleased to return to a state he called home for seven years.
Kansas wide receiver Harrison Hill, who is expected to play in his sixth season next fall, said Mangino's track record, work ethic and enthusiasm would create a atmosphere in the football program that Hill had to yet see in
Lawrence.
Lawrence. "I think the biggest thing is his commitment to excellence," Hill said. "And that's an attitude we haven't had here for awhile."
Mangino signed a five-year deal valued at $128,438 per season, but Bohl said that the package could be sweetened to more than $1 million if Mangino reached certain incentives.
According to the Associated Press, Allen made $320,000 this year with incentives.
"I know what other Big 12 coaches make, so he's going to have a very good compensation package." Bohl said. "Mark was the right fit for Kansas. This is the guy I want to go to war with."

Jennifer Orme will never forget the warm August morning when she loaded her clothes into her Mustang and drove away from the farm near Kingman where she grew up, on her way to a new life that would begin at the University of Kansas.
That very night at her Lawrence apartment, the phone rang. Orme's mother called to tell her that the family and home she had left just hours ago had dramatically changed. Her mother had served her father with divorce papers that would end a 22-year marriage.
"She didn't want me to worry while I drove to school." Orme said. Although the timing of the divorce was a surprise, she suspected it was going to happen sooner or later. Six months earlier, Orme's mother had told her she was thinking about leaving her father.
On the surface
Orme, a senior, is among a growing number of children whose lives change dramatically when their parents divorce.
In 1935, only 16 percent of marriages ended in divorce; in 1998, 51 percent failed, according to the Domestic Policies Department of the Heritage Foundation, a national research institute founded in 1973.
H Heritage Foundation, a national children nationwide live with a divorced single parent and more than half of children born into married families will experience their parents' divorce before their 18th birthday, according to the Heritage Foundation.
Children who get drawn into choosing sides in a continuing battle between former spouses are likely to fear establishing their own long-term relationships and are more likely to be in failed relationships. Studies show that these children experience guilt, fear, rejection and other emotional problems because they blame themselves for their parents' divorce.

Decorations include variety of beliefs
By Luke Daley Kansan staff writer
Displaying holiday decorations in scholarship halls this year is being handled carefully so that students' beliefs aren't misrepresented.
Tami Scheibach, student housing program coordinator, said the University of Kansas had no official policy regarding the display of holiday or religious decorations. Posting decorations in scholarship halls is allowed on a house-to-house basis.
Some scholarship halls are making sure decorations reflect different religious and cultural beliefs.
Megan Buck, Cairo, Mo., senior, and Margaret Amini Scholarship Hall resident,
said students in her hall were trying to make the decorations inclusive. She said there would be a different religious or cultural decoration every day this week, including symbols for Hanukkah.
Philip Kissam, professor of law, said scholarship halls could not legally pay for or sponsor Christmas decorations because of the seperation of church and state, but students could individually buy and decorate as long as they could represent all their beliefs.
including them.
"We're trying to inform ourselves about other cultures and what they do for the holidays," Buck said.
The decorations inside Miller Hall are paid for by students and the University.
Kaelyn Fox, Miller treasurer, said the
INSIDETODAY
She said the Miller executive board decided how to allocate the money each year.
Ambriel Renn-Scanlan, Sellards Scholarship Hall president, said students who were offended by any decorations that did not reflect their own beliefs wouldn't be singled out. She said they could come to the house director or the house president with their concerns.
holiday adornments were paid for through two accounts, which include University and student money.
The residence halls don't have holiday decorations in the lobbies or foyers, but some students have decorated their rooms windows or halls.

"This fight has just begun." Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the U.S. joint chiefs of staff, said in Washington.
Ali said a patrol of about a dozen men clashed briefly with a group of al-Qaida fighters, who abandoned a tank and scurried off to higher ground. There were no casualties.
Mohammed Zaman, defense chief in Nangarhar province, estimates up to 1,200 alQaida fighters are hiding in the White Mountains of eastern Afghanistan, which include the Tora Bora cave complex.
Ali said days of intensive bombing have driven al-Qaida fighters from the main Tora Bora complex and into the higher mountains, where they have split up into groups with as few as 10 men.

Gen. Tommy Franks, commander of U.S. forces in the Afghan conflict, has confirmed that the search for bin Laden, sought in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in the United States, has focused on the mountains south of Jalabad and around Kandahar.
The Taliban have vowed to defend the city, where their movement was organized nearly a decade ago.
Agents search Simpson home
The Associated Press
MIAMI—The FBI searched O.J. Simpson's home for more than six hours yesterday as part of an investigation into an Ecstasy drug ring also suspected of launder money and stealing satellite TV equipment.
Nine people were arrested in Miami and two in Chicago as part of Operation X, FBI spokeswoman Judy Orihuela said. Simpson was not among those arrested, and the FBI refused to discuss why he was involved.
Simpson's attorney, Yale Galanter, said no drugs or large amounts of money were found at the home and that his client had done nothing wrong. He said two boxes were removed from the home that contained legal satellite television equipment.
"I can assure you Mr. Simpson does not have enough money in his pocket or in his bank account to be involved in a money laundering ring." Galanter told reporters.

Simpson was at home when agents arrived at about 6 a.m. In video shot by a helicopter, the former football star could be seen in his back yard, wearing a white bathrobe and playing with his dogs during the search.
Orthiuela said the drug ring imported Ecstasy from Holland and stole equipment used to counterfeit cards that activate satellite TV receivers. She said the ring laundered about $800,000 and that a suspected ring-leader remains at large, probably in Brazil.
About two hours later, Simpson left alone in his sports utility vehicle without speaking to reporters. He later declined comment.
Simpson moved to Florida from California after civil court jury ordered him to pay $33.5 million for the 1994 slayings of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman in Los Angeles. He had earlier been cleared of criminal charges.

JACKSON, Mich. — A man whose wife says he beat her, bound her in duct tape and stuffed her in a freezer has been convicted of attempted murder.

Johnson then bound her wrists and mouth with duct tape, kicked her down a staircase, stuffed her in a chest freezer and closed the lid, she said. As she struggled to keep the lid open, he repeatedly slashed her with a knife on the hands and legs, she said.
Johnson piled about 200 pounds of weights on the freezer lid to keep her from escaping. McBain said.

Reporter George Sells IV and camerawoman Heidi Thiel of Louisville, Ky., television station WHAS interviewed Berry at his home in northeastern Indiana in November 1999. They said he became angry when he learned the story also would include comments from a former Klan member.
Berry acknowledged in testimony Monday that there was a confrontation, but he said it happened when he learned the station was not going to pay him $500 he said it had promised for the interview.
Berry refused to let them leave until they surrendered the video of the interview with him, they said. Another man, who carried a shotgun, locked the door.

Divorce: Students deal with emotional scars

their relationship.
Jesse Atwell, Verdi junior, plays guitar in his room. Atwell learned to play guitar to help him cope with his mother and stepfather's divorce.
Orme said she felt helpless because she had been unaware of the difficulties in her parents' marriage.
The challenge of commitment
"I felt like I had been fooled," she said.
Orme's emotional scars are similar to those of millions of children nationwide whose parents have divorced.
In 1971, Judith Wallerstein, a prominent researcher, interviewed and studied 130 children of divorce in San Francisco. When the study began, the children were 2 to 6 years old with no previous emotional or psychological problems.
In the 25-year study, Wallerstein reached three major conclusions: legal decisions such as custody did not address the needs of children; divorce affected children psychologically, emotionally and socially; and more focus should be placed on the needs of children of divorce.
Wallerstein said that in many cases, children felt less respected in general, had problems with long-term relationships and had no role models for a good marriage.
"Some of them didn't even remember the initial breakup of their parents," Wallerstein said of the children she studied, who are now adults.
Orme does remember how her parents' marriage fell apart, and it has made her frightened to enter relationships. She does not know if she will ever be able to trust someone enough to get married. She fears that if she were to marry, she would one day be rejected, like her father was the day she left for the University.
Serious commitments such as marriage worry Jesse Atwell, too. Atwell, Verdi junior, looks back on his parents' failed relationship and worries about his own relationships.
"I feel that I am scared to make a really big commitment because of what I have seen," he said.
What happened atwell wonders where his

her father were unsuccessful.
During her first visit home to see her father after he had been served with divorce papers, she found herself in the middle of ugly accusations. Her father said her mother stole money from him and he constantly "badmouthed" her, Orme said.
Orme felt responsible for how and when the marriage ended — when she departed for college. She appeared to be the only reason they were together as long as they were.
"I felt guilty when they argued because she would have been gone if I wasn't around," she said.
Working through the changes
Orme continues to struggle with the fears and emotions from her parents' divorce. She is reminded of that fear whenever she goes home to the farm where she grew up. Her mother is gone and the house looks different.
"I really am embarrassed to think of my childhood, because of the things that were going on that I didn't know about," she said.
Atwell said he had to cope with two divorces. His birth parents divorced shortly after he was born and both married again while he was young.
Atwell doesn't remember what it was like while his parents were together, but he can't forget when his parents divorced again from their second spouses.
When Atwell mother married for the second time, he was 5. Atwell became attached to his stepfather, whom he valued as a special friend. Seven years later, his mother divorced again.
"I was confused because it came out of nowhere," he said.
He coped with his mother's unexpected divorce from his stepfather by learning how to
the relationship.

"That's how different I feel it would be," he said.
Helpless in the mess
Sarah Knoll, Topeka junior, will always remember the day her parents decided to divorce. Knoll's mother took her and her younger brother and sister to the park. Her mother sat down with them on a bench and told them their parents were divorcing.
While Knoll was hearing the news, her father was served with divorce papers. He got some clothes and other belongings and left the house. When she got home, a letter from her father was on the table.
on the table.
"He said, 'I'm sorry I have to go. Sorry it has to be that way. I don't want to be apart from you and I love you,'" she recalled.
Knoll cried when she read the letter because she sensed her father was helpless and could do nothing about it.
Orme also felt helpless when her parents' marriage fell apart.

Knoll said her mother struggled with an alcohol abuse problem that began in college and continued during the marriage. She said her mother progressively drank more and that it got worse after the divorce.

doried.
Joyce Davidson, a counseling psychologist at KU's Counseling and Psychological Services, said it was common for children of divorce to feel hurt and depressed because they didn't have access to a parent like they did previously. When this happens, children can feel as though the parent has "moved on" to a new family, leaving children to feel alone and wondering what they did wrong, she said.
Davidson said finding therapy resources to help students cope with divorce was important.
"When your family changes its shape and form, there is a big loss of security," she said.
Davidson said even when a divorce occurred many years ago, its effect on children could remain indefinitely.

She said the healthy way children could cope with divorce was to discuss it with their parents and therapists to better understand the situation.
"The parents are divorcing each other, not the children," Davidson said.
Courtney Pence, Ottawa senior, said discussing the situation helped her understand why her parents divorced.
Pence said her parents married young, shortly after high school. As Pence grew up, her parents' relationship soured. They finally split up when she was in the eighth grade.
Pence said she did not know why they divorced, but was fortunate her parents talked to her openly and helped her deal with the changes.
"They were very grown up on about it—as they should be," she said.
Pence said she was comfortable when her parents were both present for family events because both always remained respectful of each other. That made it easier for her to accept the change.
for her to assist.
"The hardest thing I learned from it is that people do change and I think that it is always important to try and work through that change." Pence said.
Davidson said if parents handled the situation well, children could move forward. However, if the divorce was not handled well, it could cause problems for the children.
Davidson said students struggling to cope with parents' divorce could speak with someone at CAPS to talk through the problem.

Tuition increase needed to keep us competitive
Students cannot rely on legislature to pay the way
In the near future, KU students will face a significant tuition increase. Although the administration has yet to decide upon a specific proposal, higher tuition is a necessity if the University of Kansas wants to continue providing first-rate higher education.
Chancellor Hemenway has indicated that the state budget director will not recommend any new funding for higher education this year. As a result, the Kansas Board of Regents, that oversees the state's public universities, has requested that all six institutions consider tuition-increase proposals.
The University is now lagging $50 million behind the average for its peer institutions in funding for operating expenses, salaries, and benefits. These peer universities include schools such as the University of Iowa and the University of Colorado. Provost David Shulenburger has also said that all of the University's peer institutions will see 5- to 10-percent increases in tuition each year.
To close the gap with its peers, the University must increase revenue by $50 million. Because of new tuition-retention and block-grant policies instituted by the state legislature, the University can keep excess tuition receipts. As such, the simplest solution to the University's funding problem is a large-scale tuition increase.
Opponents of this solution argue that it would deter many potential students from considering or applying to KU. Although the University could potentially lose many low-income students, it would gain others through scholarships and an improved public image. Administrators have said that 20 percent of the net revenue generated by a tuition increase would be set aside for student financial aid. Likewise, desirable improvements the University could make with higher operating funds might lure otherwise unattainable students.
Regrettably, students in the state of Kansas can no longer depend on the state government to support higher education. In times of waning revenues and operating funds, state lawmakers have been forced to narrow down their priorities, and education has not made the cut.
The University's options are simple. The administration can submit a significant tuition-increase proposal and continue to provide students with a first-rate education, or the University can yield to the priorities of lawmakers.
This issue boils down to a question of self-determination: Should KU entrust lawmakers with its best interests, or should its administration take over the reigns?
The answer to this question is obvious. For the University to simply accept a decrease in operating funds would be contrary to its mission as an institution of higher learning.
The state of Kansas deserves a first-class public university. Like a college student paying his way through school, KU should learn to subsist without the help of its guardians. Matt Hubbard for the editorial board.
PERSPECTIVE
Put your two cents in now, or pay later in high tuition
It seems that it isn't just the University classified staff that is faced with significant financial woes because of state budget restrictions ("Swept into Poverty," Nov. 28). Unlike classified staff, however, the University has the power to circumvent budget restrictions and raise students' tuition costs to offset a declining economy and decreased state allocation to the University.
The administration recently unveiled six proposals for significant tuition hikes that would be effective next fall and to continue over the next four to six years. The proposal for the highest increase would double tuition for the freshman and sophomore classes of 2003, and would include an increase for all students by 2006.
The proposals were originally drafted in accordance with a request from the Kansas Board of Regents, which requested that other institutions of higher learning in Kansas consider similar tuition increases. Kansas State University is also entertaining similar tuition increases.
The administration cites a number of reasons for the higher cost of tuition and need for a tuition increase. Executive Vice Chancellor Janet Murgia notes that KU is consistently and severely under-funded as compared with its peer universities, such as Missouri, Nebraska and Colorado.
Murguia said that although the University was trying to maximize funding from research grants and private donations, state budget constraints demand that the University raise tuition costs to narrow the gap.
The key areas named by the administration that the new revenue would

be invested include expediting online enrollment, improving classroom computing and laboratory instrumentation, improving library services and providing better wages for staff and student workers. Plans for the new money also include supporting excellent faculty, increasing departmental operating expense budgets, expanding computer network capacity and enhancing school curriculum.

The University has also promised that 20 percent of the revenue generated by any tuition increase would go to student financial aid and scholarships.
Undoubtedly, these are all worthy objectives and the administration's goal of using the tuition increase to improve student learning is to be commended.
Yet, even with the knowledge that the University is facing a significant money crunch, the extent of the tuition increase comes as a surprise to many students and faculty who didn't contribute to the drafting.
Even members of student governance were left in the dark about the nature and details of all six of the proposals. Even for those who thought a tuition increase was imminent, the potential tuition increases have caught many off guard.
Now, the administration says we are
in the middle of a "campus-wide dialogue" about proposals the University should support. Given the size of the tuition increase, student participation would have been most helpful while the proposals were being formed.
Despite students' lack of involvement in the drafting of the proposals, it is imperative that all students, even those of us who are graduating, attend the meetings scheduled for 4:15 to 6 p.m. Monday at 110 Budig and from 3 to 4:15 p.m. Tuesday at 5139 Wescoe
These forums provide space for students to pose questions about the proposals such as: Given the outlined set of University objectives, how will tuition increases be allocated under each proposal?
Are there other ways to raise this money? Will graduate teaching assistants and classified staff receive a raise?
Most importantly, even with the 20 percent allocation for student aid and scholarships, will the tuition hikes make the University inaccessible for some students?
It is critical that students play a central role in picking which proposal the University should choose and in determining exactly where our money is going.
Students should pose these and other questions to Provost Shulenburger and other members of the administration during the open-forum meetings.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
NOT FAIR TO RELIGIOUS GROUPS
The main outside "expert" quoted in the story is associated with the American Family Foundation, an advocacy group that agitates against religions of which it disproves; the "expert" himself (whose credentials I have been unable to locate) espouses views that are, to say the least, not shared by most scholars who study alternative religions.
The Kansan's article on the Brethren and Jayrock religious groups (November 27) was a bit troubling in that it perpetuated a number of unfortunate stereotypes about nonmainstream religious organizations.
Dear editor.
Many in the AFF, for example, argue that "cults" engage in "brainwashing" or "mind control," whereas academics who have investigated that matter in depth have concluded that such phenomena are essentially mythical.
The word "cult" in popular usage is a pejorative term that cannot be meaningfully defined.
Religious organizations that violate the law should be reported to the police; those that are simply unconventional should enjoy the same freedom of religion that the larger, more established groups do.

FOREIGN EXCHANGES POSITIVE Dear editor,
As someone who is currently in charge of a student exchange program between Haskell and a Russian university, I was actually horrified at the tone of the Journal-World piece. Thank you for putting things in perspective for your readers. I hope that you will continue to educate the University and the community of Lawrence on the value of international exchanges.
I would like to congratulate you on the editorial this morning responding to the Journal-World opinion piece on international students. The editorial did a wonderful job addressing the issues.

TALK ABOUT PRACTICAL SEX Dear editor,
Sex columns in the paper are a great thing as long as it is not from a "horn
dog's" power value "their confidence
Talk about how to protect and please at the same time, STDs and why protection is necessary. Does anyone know the percentage of students with STDs on campus? I don't. Wouldn't you like to know if Mr. No Name or Ms. Faceless from the party has something that you didn't want to share?
most recent articles should be choosing better topics. Don't you think lovers can find a G-spot? Isn't that the point of experimenting? If you want to write a sex column promoting pleasure (I'm not against it), add a side note: "Make sure to protect yourself." Better yet, talk about a topic that pertains to most of the student body.
Where can one go to get tested (anonymously or otherwise)? Wouldn't you rather know something important than something you can figure out yourself or with your love?
Not everyone on campus needs to be told that sex feels good or "not to be afraid to experiment." You can still have fun while being safe. Write more on the real issues. Think about it. Being horny doesn't mean being naive.

Area resident scrutinizes bank's handling of trust
By Paul Smith Kansan staff writer
A Leavenworth resident accused the Bank of America of mismanaging a small trust established by Elizabeth Miller-Watkins last night and encouraged the Lawrence City Commission to take charge of the fund.
At its meeting last night, Louis Klemp presented research to the City Commission that he said showed the bank mismanaged a $5,000 trust set up to maintain the grave site of Miller-Watkins, a benefactor of the University of Kansas and the Lawrence area.
Kemp, whose sister once roomed in Watkins Scholarship Hall, said he had studied the Watkins trusts for 10 years and
presented his most recent findings only as a concerned citizen.
He cited annual charges made to the account over the past few years.
Mike Wildgen, city manager, confirmed that the grave site was unkempt.
"There's an urn that needs repair." Wildgen told the Commission, "and the gravestone could use cleaning."
"The only thing being taken out those years were bank fees and attorney fees." Kemp said.
Klemp encouraged the Commission to revive a previous request to take charge of the $5,000 trust from the Bank of America, which he said was the only part of the Wattkins trusts that the city could appropriate.
"We could certainly do that," Wildgen said.
The Commission took no formal action on Klemp's request.
That trust has grown to about $3 million from the original $250,000 investment.
Kaili Kuiper, Salina senior and president of the Miller-Watkins Halls Preservation Committee, said she had no idea that the Miller-Watkins grave site was in disrepair.
Residents at the Miller and Watkins Scholarship Halls filled suit against the Bank of America more than two years ago, alleging that the bank has mismanaged another trust that partially supports the halls.
"It's too bad," Kuiper said.

Student brings youth to council
The Associated Press
LAWRENCE — When University of Kansas junior Tanner Fortney isn't learning political science in the classroom, he's learning it on the job.
The 20-year-old political science major is the newest and youngest-ever member of the Spring Hill City Council.
"I thought it was a mixed blessing." Fortney said of his age. "People are interested in you and willing to listen to you, but they think, 'If you're so young, are you really doing this for your own self-interest?'" as opposed to the public good.
Fortney grew up in Spring Hill, a town of 3,000 on the Miami-Johnson county line.
Those who work with Fortney said he had rejuvenated Spring Hill's city government.
He ran for city council in April, advancing past the primary to the general election, where he lost by 75 votes.
The defeat didn't quell his interest in public office. After council member Jim Dalton resigned in September, Mayor Mark Squire appointed Fortney to the position on Oct. 25.
"I think above all Tanner's going to bring some fresh opinions and fresh outlooks on things," Squire said. "Just his age does that, but being new, he's going to have a new point of view. Tanner's real qualified individual. I think his motivations for wanting the position are really good."
Balancing public service with homework and a 45-minute daily commute to KU will be a challenge, Fortney said. But this flexible student life
Fortney first sparked an interest in politics during his freshman year in high school when researching policy issues for his debate team.
has allowed him to attend city meetings to help him understand government issues.
"You learn a lot with city council," he said. "You're not talking about someone else making a decision; you're actually making a decision."
A stint on the Student Senate at Johnson County Community College following high school and an internship with Congressman Dennis Moore's 2000 campaign got him thinking about a political career of his own.
"I was reaching the point I didn't want to work for someone else anymore," he said. "I wanted to start getting my ideas out there."
Fallen officer mourned in Junction City
The Associated Press
JUNCTION CITY — With a large turnout of police officers and other mourners expected, services for a police officer who was killed while responding to a domestic disturbance will be Friday at the city's municipal building.
The city asked the family of Wilson "Alex" Johnson, 56, to have services at the building to accommodate the large crowd, including officers from other cities and states. The service is to begin at 11 a.m.
Johnson, an Army veteran, will be buried at Fort Riley Cemetery.
A candlelight vigil is scheduled at 8 p.m. tomorrow at the flagpole outside the police department building.
The officer was killed early Monday after being sent to retrieve two children from the apartment of Carlos Antoni Cobbs, 23. KBI spokesman Kyle Smith said Cobbs took the children, ages 1 and 3, to his apartment after having a fight with a woman at a nightclub.
Johnson was wearing a bullet proof vest but he was shot in the head, Smith said.
After Johnson was shot, Cobbs ran outside and fired at least one shot at an officer who had just arrived. Cobbs then went back into his apartment, and police set up barriers and evacuated the surrounding buildings.
He and Johnson were both dead when a tactical team entered the apartment about three hours later to rescue the children.
Smith said investigators may never know exactly what happened.
"We have no idea," he said. "It was a one-on-one situation, and they're both dead. We may be able to piece some things together with the autopsy, but there's not a lot of witnesses at this point."

Israel uses bombs as warning to Palestine
The Associated Press
AMALLAH, West Bank (AP) —Israel used bombs and missiles yesterday to pressure Yasser Arafat to move against Palestinian militants, striking just yards from the Palestinian leader's West Bank offices and in the Gaza Strip. Two Palestinians were killed and about 150 were injured in the attacks.
The campaign stirred opposition from moderate Labor Party members of Israel's ruling coalition, who boycotted a Cabinet vote on tougher action against the Palestinians.
"The purpose was to send a clear military message ... Friends, we've had enough, take the responsibility that you have and stop the terrorism," said the Israeli army spokesman, Brig. Gen. Ron Kitrey.
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's government said it was sending a stern warning to the Palestinian
Sharon wants to destroy the Palestinian Authority and "kill the leaders of the Palestinians."
The air attacks came in response to weekend bombings and shooting attacks on Israelis by Islamic militants that killed 26 people and wounded nearly 200. Kitrey said Tuesday's raids targeted Palestinian Authority installations because the Islamic militants' headquarters "are secret and cannot be hit in this
type of attack.
Arafat, speaking to CNN after the airstrike on his Ramallah compound, accused Sharon of trying to undermine his efforts to combat terrorism. The Palestinian Authority has rounded up some 130 members of the militant Islamic Jihad and Hamas groups since the weekend, and Palestinian officials said the sweep would continue despite the Israeli raids.
"They (the Israelis) don't want me to succeed and for this he (Sharon) is escalating his military activities against our people, against our towns, against our cities, against our establishments," Arafat said. "He doesn't want a peace process to start."
He also said that U.S. envoy Anthony Zinni won't respond to his calls, and he appealed to President Bush to order the mediator to speak with Arafat.

Arafat told ABC News tha*
Arafat adviser Nabil Abu Rdeneh said Israel's airstrikes were "a real declaration of war on the Palestinian people and its leadership and President Arafat in particular."

Positions being selected for post-Taliban rule
KOENIGSWINTER, Germany — A U.N. envoy whittled down a list of 150 candidates yesterday for posts in a new interim authority for Afghanistan, seeking to achieve ethnic balance while satisfying the many rival factions.

Brahimi was using ethnic balance as the main criterion for selection but also considering competence and integrity, Fawzi said.
A U.S. envoy to the talks said the four factions were to consider Brahimi's list during a meeting last night, which could set the stage for a final agreement today.

What's News- In Business and Finance
THE WEEK OF DECEMBER 3, 2001
Enron also took aim at its once merger candidate, Dynery Inc., suing the rival energy company for "not less than $10 billion." The charge: Dynery wrongly terminated the merger agreement last week. Dynery blasted back by filing suit against Enron, claiming it has the right to take control of Enron's flagship Northern Natural Gas Co. pipeline system.
Enron Corp.'s slide took a number of twists.
Energy Giant Files For Bankruptcy
In recent weeks Enron began a calamitous fall that led to the collapse of its once-lofty stock price into penny-stock realm. The decline reflected a loss of confidence in the company caused by big losses in its third-quarter results; repeated restatements of earnings; and revelations, now being investigated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, that some of its officers participated in partnerships designed to keep debt off the balance sheet, but which produced still more losses.
Music fans are in an uproar over a development from the major music labels: compact disks that block consumers from making digital copies of songs.
Some music buyers have gripped that the technology—being tested mainly in Europe—sometimes prevents them from simply playing the disks. Web sites tracking "bad CDs" have sprung up, and techies have begun protesting in online forums.
Fans Gripe Over CD Copy Protection
In the most high-profile example, European fans of pop singer Natalie Imbruglia recently peered her official Web site with criticism after some found they couldn't play her newest release on certain devices. BMG Entertainment, which released the Imbruglia CD, says it has received only about one complaint for every 1,000 copies of all its copy-protected CDs.
Excite and AT&T Clash Over Assets
Excite At Home Corp. cut off AT&T Corp. from its Internet network, disrupting service to about 850,000 AT&T cable subscribers. Subsequently, AT&T said it was dropping plans to buy Excite's assets.
Two months ago, facing heavy debts and a cash squeeze, Excite filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. AT&T later offered to buy the Excite network assets.
Excite's latest move came after the collapse late Friday of negotiations between AT&T and Excite for a new service agreement. People close to the matter say AT&T refused to pay the amount sought by Excite to continue the service, which they put at more than $300 million.
AT&T has been working around the clock to finish its own high-speed network to replace Excite, which allowed it to take a tougher line in negotiations. Maintaining a relationship with Excite would allow AT&T to preserve customers' current e-mail addresses, among other things. But the longer AT&T operates without Excite's facilities, the more customers are likely to be shifted over to the new AT&T network, people familiar with the situation say.
Cox Communications Inc. and
Comcast Corp., two other cable operators that depend on Excite facilities, reached a definitive agreement with Excite that ensures uninterrupted high-speed service for three months. Both companies eventually hope to transfer their Excite users to proprietary Internet services.
Downward Revision
The annualized change in quarterly infiation-adjusted gross domestic product was revised down Friday to a contraction of 1.1% from a preliminary estimate of a 0.4% contraction.

Recorder That Zaps Ads Hits Market
Silicon Valley electronics company SonicBlue Inc. said it began shipping a controversial new digital video recorder that lets users skip television commercials and share programs, thumbing its nose at an entertainment-industry lawsuit seeking to prevent the sale of the device.
The Replay TV product, like similar devices, lets consumers record television shows onto a computer hard disk, giving viewers the ability to pause live broadcasts. But it also includes two novel features that have enraged television broadcasters: one that automatically shuts off commercials and another that transmits copies of shows to other Replay users.
Microsoft Tries Cutting AOL's Cable
Microsoft Corp., in a highly unusual move, is offering to financially back two rival bidders for A&T Corp.'s cable-telie business as it tries to thwart a third bidder, AOL Time Warner Inc.
Microsoft is backing both Cox Communications and Comcast, which made separate, competing offers to acquire AT&T Broadband, AT&T's cable unit, according to people familiar with the situation.
The software company's interest in backing the competing bids stems in large part from its interest in blocking AOL. A fierce competitor of AOL. Microsoft is concerned about the media company's ability to get its hands on AT&T Broadband, the nation's largest cable-TV business, according to people familiar with the situation.
if AOL were to company, it would catapult the company to the No. 1 spot with more than 25 million cable subscribers. With $36 billion in cash its disposal, Microsoft is trying to keep AT&T's 13.7 million cable subscribers in the hands of a friendly ally.

Biggest Record Labels Launch Own Services As Free Sites Threaten
By NICK WINGFIELD and ANNA WILDE MATHEWS
Pressplay, owned by Vivendi Universal SA and Sony Corp., will offer users song streams and downloads as well. Unlike its competitor, pressplay will let users keep listening to all the tracks they have downloaded, with
The five big recording companies are finally ready to launch their first serious Internet music services. But are the offerings -due out during the next few weeks-too little, too late?
MusicNet, backed by EMI Group PLC, Bertelsmann AG, AOL Time Warner Inc., and software maker RealNetworks Inc., won't let customers purchase songs in the traditional sense. Instead, consumers will have two choices. They can "stream" a portion of their monthly allotment of music, allowing them to listen to songs over slow Internet connections. They also will be able to download and store songs on their computers, but only listen to them for a limited time.
Helping engineering and science majors start their own businesses is a long tradition at Stanford University. The school's Technology Ventures Program continues to attract interest even during a tech downturn.

Do You Have What It Takes
To Run Your Own Business?
Instead of owning the music permanently, a user will acquire a "license" to listen to designated songs for 30 days. Executives have said in the past that consumers might pay $10 or so a month for rights to listen to an allotment of 75 songs, though people familiar with the service said the actual number of songs could be more than double that figure. To keep listening to a song after the 30-day period, a user that again clicks on that selection will have that song counted against the current month's allotment.

The record-label services plan to boast an array of major artists and big recent releases. MusicNet's labels include artists like Eric Clapton and the Dave Matthews Band. Pressplay's backers have performers like U2 and Pearl Jam. Both pressplay and MusicNet say they will have more than 100,000 tracks when they launch, with plans to add more over time. Both ventures also plan to have tighter quality control on recordings, better searching facilities and faster downloading speeds than the unauthorized services.
For an entrepreneur, starting a business is the first step in a neverending process that you rarely get right the first time. Three consultants who specialize in helping new companies suggest ways to increase your business's chances for success.
Executives connected with the ventures concede the restrictions they placed on the music aren't ideal, but say they expect the policies to be relaxed over time as the labels become more comfortable that the services aren't spoiling CD sales or contributing to piracy.
Still, their offerings will be limited. Neither can promise the music of all five major record companies. Even some chunks from the labels' own catalogs will be missing, mostly because they weren't able to secure rights to the songs of certain artists whose contracts give them control over use of their music on the Web.
ging in for a long battle to win massmarket consumers, not necessarily the earliest adopters. "Do I think we're going to convert every Napter 15-year-old overnight?" says Rob Glaser, chief executive of RealNetworks, the biggest shareholder of MusicNet. "No. It doesn't mean we'll take over the world ... but I think we'll find there's substantial demand."
Executives add that they are dig-
Napster Factor
Napster, of course, demonstrated the possibilities—and perils—of the Internet for the music industry. At its peak, the company had more than 60 million users, and placed no limitations on their ability to download unauthorized MP3 files free of charge. The service generated widespread fear within the music industry that the Web would demolish the industry's financial underpinnings, and led to a landmark copyright lawsuit against the company.
These days, Napster is more friend than foe to the labels. The service has been offline since July as the company tries to comply with a court order to keep pirated music from its system. The company, which now has a close relationship with Bertelsmann, even has a tentative agreement to distribute MusicNet tracks to its subscribers as part of a planned new subscription service, which has suffered delays (RealNetworks and AOL are creating their own versions of MusicNet for consumers, while pressplay will be available through Microsoft Corp.'s MSN, Yahoo Inc. and Vivendi's MP3.com).
In the meantime, the growth of Napster-like services continues unabated. Use of three of the best-known services, Grokster, Kazaa and MusicCity, jumped $20\%$ between September and October, when users exchanged 1.81 billion files, according to market research firm Webozie. The services are becoming more inviting, with an ever-expanding variety of songs and new tools that make downloading tunes speedier.
out affecting the balance of their monthly allotment of downloads, as long as they continue to pay subscription fees. The venture won't yet reveal pricing or other details.
Possibly the biggest drawback is that music from both services will be stuck on customers' PCs. Initially, the special software used by the ventures won't let consumers record songs onto compact disks or digital music players. Making such personalized, portable tune selections is a predominant pastime for digital music fans.
Still, the biggest menace of the music industry—the Napster Inc. free music-swapping Web site—was effectively shut down last summer by a judge who ruled on an industry lawsuit. That would seem to bode well for the two new services. But in the meantime, other free music-swapping sites have taken off, posing stiff competition for the industry.
"Consumers are going to laugh in their face," says Nick Donatiello, president of the market-research firm Odyssey LP. The record labels "took so long to get together that a whole new set of expectations has been created. Now they have to climb the wall they allowed to be built."
Louisiana superbowl In the worst advertising downtow in recent memory, some of the most visible sponsors of recent Super Bowl games—Cingular Wireless, Electronic Data Systems Corp. and Volkswagen AG, for example—are taking a pass.
Super Bowl Sees No Rush For Ad Spots

sst, wanna buy some Super Bowl air time?
Bowl air time?
Fox still has plenty of advertising spots left to sell in the Feb. 3 broadcast of Super Bowl XXXVI from the Louisiana Supremes.
Fox plans to scale back the length of the Super Bowl broadcast in February—welcome news to the many football fans who tune in to watch the game, rather than the marathon of hype surrounding it. Instead of the record seven hours of pregame programming Fox aired in 1999, or the nearly as exhausting six hours CBS aired for Super Bowl XXXV this year, Fox is planning to air only three and a half hours of pregame fare—because the ad market is too soft to support a longer show. "If it could be sold, we could produce it," a Fox Sports spokesman says.
Louisiana Superdome.
Fox still has about 30% of commercial time in the actual game left to unload. Officials are trying to resist holding a fire sale. By this time a year ago, Viacom Inc.'s CBS had already sold about 80% of its Super Bowl inventory. In 1999, during the dot-com ad bonanza, Walt Disney Co.'s ABC was practically sold out by now.
Fox says the slow economy and competition for ad dollars from the coming Winter Olympic Games on NBC have made it tough selling the Super Bowl. But Fox insists it will tally up as much ad revenue as CBS did earlier this year for spots aired during the game. CBS got as much as $2.3 million for some 30-second commercials in Super Bowl XXXV, with the average price hovering at about $2 million for ads during the game.
Fox officials are sounding an upbeat note. "We are above $2 million on average so far," says Jon Nesvig, president of sales for Fox Broadcasting, referring to the average price of a 30-second commercial. He adds the network is "pretty confident" it will be able to maintain that average. Still, Mr. Nesvig says, "people are hanging on to their money as long as they can." Sales aren't as brisk as what he expected a year ago, he says, but they are better than he feared 12 weeks ago.

Courts to decide on transsexual's marital status
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — An attorney for a transsexual told the state's highest court yesterday that if it doesn't declare his client's marriage valid, the court would create the impression it supports same-sex unions.
944 Mass.
The Supreme Court is reviewing a dispute about the $2.5 million estate of Marshall Gardiner, a Leavenworth stockbroker and newspaper reporter who died in 1999 without a will.
The outcome will determine whether his widow, J'Noel Gardiner, and his son, Joe Gardiner, will split the estate, or whether Joe Gardiner will claim it all.
Normally, the estate would be split evenly according to Kansas law. But J'Noel Gardiner was a born a man and had sexual reassignment surgeries in 1994 and 1995. She married Marshall Gardiner in 1998, when she was 40 and he was 85.
I'Noel Gardiner's attorney,
Sanford Krigel, of Kansas City, Mo., told the justices the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that adults have a right to marry. Concluding that J'Noel Gardiner remains a man despite her surgeries and declaring her marriage to Marshall Gardiner invalid would leave her the right to marry only women, he said.
"You're creating a situation where you would essentially be approving what would appear to be a homosexual marriage." Krigel said. "There's all kinds of potential pitfalls."
Attorneys for Joe Gardiner said the definition of marriage included in Kansas law is a traditional one that excludes transsexuals. One attorney, Bill Modricn, of Kansas City, Mo., said the court should let the Legislature decide whether a marriage involving a transsexual is legal.
Joe Gardiner attended yesterday's arguments. J'Noel Gardiner, who has declined to talk to reporters, did not.
The case has received national attention, and groups on both sides filed legal briefs with the Supreme Court.
State's economy feels aftershocks of Sept. 11
The machinists and welders who made parts for the Wichita airline industry are visiting United Methodist Urban Ministries in growing numbers since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, which have caused the cutbacks.
The Associated Press
And the first of the city's 7,000 laid-off Boeing Co., Raytheon Aircraft and Bombardier Aerospace employees also are starting to walk into the charity's doors. They're joined by restaurant employees left jobless because fewer people are eating out.
Like other charities statewide, United Methodist Urban Ministries is being asked to serve more people — about 20 percent more this holiday season than the previous year. Donations to the Wichita charity, meanwhile, are down about 40 percent.
"All of us are having a tough time with donations," said Deann Smith, executive minister of the agency, which has a homeless day shelter and food ministry. "A lot of donations went to New York and the Pentagon area. Now, the reality is the attacks have hit home. We've heard New York is ground zero in terms of attacks, but Wichita is ground
zero economically."
Katy's Place, an Overland Park-based charity serving area women and children with HIV and AIDS, is worried because a holiday mailer is generating only half the amount of money it typically does, said Susan McDonald, the group's executive director.
Zero economically.
There was such a flood of donations to the national relief effort that the Greater Kansas City Chapter of the American Red Cross raised about $6.5 million from Sept. 11 through the end of November. That's what it normally would raise in three years, said Mike Tarry, a Red Cross fund raiser for the six county area that includes Johnson County.
"If you have a little extra to give, don't forget Katy's Place," McDonald asks in the mailer, which acknowledges that many people already had donated to the Sept. 11 relief effort.
As the holiday season gets underway, fund raisers are asking donors to remember charities in their communities — particularly those that help people with utilities, rent, health care, food and clothing.
Even before the terrorist attacks aggravated the nation's economic slump, Kansans were turning to charities in droves many of them needing help paying off high utility bills from last winter.
The high gas bills also meant depleted supplies at food banks, said Jennifer Kennly, executive director of the United Way of Johnson County.
About 20,000 Kansas Gas Service customers were still without service at the end of October. And customers still working to pay off high bills owe more than usual.
"Last winter was terribly cold and with the price of gas, people had to decide what bills they wouldn't pay to pay the heating bill." Kenny said.
The utility has bad debts of around $12 million this year, up from a typical year of $2.5 million, said company spokesman Steve Johnson.
944 Mass.
832-8228
Among those seeking help is Carol Mitchell, 33, recently laid off from BomHoff Inco., in Wichita, which makes aircraft interiors. The family exhausted most of its savings in August when buying a house.
She's already sought food, rent and clothing assistance and enrolled her children in Healthwave, a state-run health insurance program for low-income families. Mitchell also has called a few companies, and most aren't hiring until after Christmas.
"I know things are tight," Mitchell said. "Food banks are saying we don't have food to give people."
Giving is picking up again for several charities that saw donations dip after the attacks.
There have been bright spots.
Donations to the Topeka Rescue Mission dropped 28 percent from Sept. 11 through the end of the month compared to the same period a year ago. Giving to the homeless shelter returned to normal in October, said Barry Feaker, the executive director of the shelter, which has served about 20,000 more meals this year.
Donations to fine arts groups including the Topeka Performing Arts Center, the Lied Center in Lawrence and Bowlus Fine Arts Center in Iola — remained stable, although ticket sales dipped after the attacks.

Al Bohl's pick for head coach a perfect fit for program
Kansas football fans, you got your wish.
You wanted a winner. You've got one in coach Mark Mangino.
Like him because he's going to build a winning football program. Love him because he's a genuine person. Never question his desire to win at Kansas or his ability to make it happen.
I applaud you for the classy, warm reception you gave him last night at halftime of KU's 83-76 win against No.23 Wake Forest. I applaud you for making him feel so welcome on his first real night as a Jayhawk. I applaud you for giving the man the respect he deserves because that will be a great confidence-builder.
the beyond-capacity crowd at Allen Fieldhouse chanted MANGIN-O as he strolled to center court with Al Bohl, Kansas athletics director, and Mangino uttered, "From now on, I want to earn that applause from you."
Get ready Jayhawks, because he will earn it. You can bet on that.
With a résumé like Mangino's, you'd want to make him President. He's received the premier education from the finest educators. He was groomed for eight years while working for Kansas State coach Bill Snyder. He was an integral part of the turnaround that took the Wildcats from being the worst program in Division I football history into an annual national power. He was their lead recruiter and built a dominating K-State running game.
He also was the offensive coordinator and assistant coach at Oklahoma alongside Bloo Stoops. Mangino masterminded the Sooner offense that won last year's National Championship. His offense ranked seventh nationally in scoring, he developed Heisman Trophy runner-up Josh Heupel at quarterback and built a strong, disciplined offensive line to protect his quarterback.
But wait, there's more.
Mangino was the recipient of the Frank Broyles Award as college football's top assistant last year. He's helped coach teams to nine bowl games in 11 years and K-State and Oklahoma went 101-30-1 with him on the staff. He's also a disciplinarian and was the main recruiter during Kansas State's rise to national prominence
Simply put, the man produces results.
Sure, he's big. But that's no status to judge him by, a fact which Mangino has repeatedly proved.
"It's not what you look like," Mangino said when he was introduced to the media yesterday. "It's how you work and it's how you do your job."
And he's absolutely right. He's done his job great for years, Judging by fans' response last night, they clearly understand that's what really matters.
What people should also understand is that the biggest thing about Mark Mangino is his heart. No question about it. You saw how proud he

The man behind Mangino
By Jeff Denton Kansan sportswriter
The last time Al Bohl flanked a football coach at Hadi1 Auditorium — on Nov. 4 when he fired Terry Allen with three games left in this year's 3-8 season almost every blue seat was taken.
Yesterday, the house was full of people showing up to welcome someone new.
new.
The rustling was silenced when Mark Mangino, Kansas' new head coach, entered with Bohl, Kansas athletics director, and Chancellor Robert Hemenway. Sandwiched between the two men who hired him, Mangino, who entered with a grin, now has a chance to invigorate a hapless football team and make a name for himself as he jumps from assistant coach to head coach.
"We are setting our goals lofty, but our goal is to be the best team in the Big 12," Mangino said. "The beauty of taking over a program is that everybody gets a fresh start. These are unchartered waters for me, but I have been very privileged coaching under two of the best."
Bob Stoops, the coach of defending national champion Oklahoma, taught
Mangino for the past three seasons. Stoops hired Mangino as offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. Mangino was also the squad's assistant head coach.
"He was an excellent leader for our offense," Stoops said in a statement. "He's been very instrumental in our success."
NORTH CAROLINA TEAM
"He said, 'Mark, you better get up there, you got a lot of work to do,' Mangino said, smiling. "Unfortunately, I won't coach at the Cotton Bowl. I would really like to do that, but we have so much stuff to do here that I can't."
LAURIE SISK/KANSAN
Stoops wanted Mangino to remain with his staff for the Sooners' New Year's Day game in the Cotton Bowl, but said he understood that a quick start for Mangino could prove to be more productive.
Athletics director Allen Bohl, right, introduces Kansas' 35th head football coach, Mark Mangino, before a capacity crowd at Allen Fieldhouse. Mangino former Oklahoma offensive coordinator, received the 2000 Frank Broyles Award as the top assistant football coach in college football.
Mangino said he would go to the game to watch, but not to work.
Bill Snyder, coach of the Kansas State Wildcats, tutored Mangino from 1991 to 1997. When K-State thrived in the second half of the 1990s, Mangino managed its recruiting. His ability to bring in and develop high school talent

Simien doubles it up against Wake Forest
KANSAS 13
Junior forward Nick Collison waits for the referee's call on a jump ball late in the first half. The Jayhawks defeated Wake Forest 83-76 last night at Allen Fieldhouse and avenged last season's loss to the Demon Deacons.
By Ryan Malashock
Kansan sportswriter
Wayne Simien surprised even himself in his regular-season debut.
The freshman forward posted a doubledouble, with 10 points and 11 rebounds in 15 minutes and led No.4 Kansas past latecharging No.23 Wake Forest 83-76 last night at Allen Fieldhouse.
Kansas clung to a lead much of the second half, and did not allow the deficit to drop below four points. Kansas did not increase the lead into double digits until less than two minutes to play because of horrendous second-half free throw shooting — 13-30 in the second half, 20-40 overall — but simply overpowered Wake Forest in its comeback attempt. The Jayhawks outrebounded the Demon Deacons 46-35 and outscored them in the paint 42-26. Simien supplied Kansas with extra front-court depth, while Wake Forest's back-court tandem of Josh Howard and Darius Songalia struggled with foul trouble.
"His rebounding and toughness was important," Kansas coach Roy Williams said of Simien. "We wanted to get deep into their bench. They have three guys who are legitimate play players, and we wanted to get them in foul trouble."
"I felt really good out there, especially coming off this injury." Simien said. "They had some physical guys out there, but that's my style of play, I like to bang."
Simien provided the spark for Kansas off the bench, but the Jayhawks jumped out to an early advantage without his services.

Jayhawk defense stifles Demon Deacon game plan
By Ali Brox
Kansan sportswriter
Coach Skip Prosser told his Wake Forest men's basketball players that they would have to do three things to beat Kansas last night at Allen Fieldhouse.
The Demon Deacons didn't do any of them in the 83-76 loss to the Jayhawks.
"Three things we had to do to win the game were we couldn't throw the ball to them,we had to play good transition defense,we had to keep them off the backboard," Prosser said."And our inability to do well enough in those three areas cost us the game."
Senior forward Darius Songaila echoed his coach's remarks that the basic fundamentals kept the team out of the game. The Jajawaks outrebounded the Demon Deacons 46-35, including 11 offensive rebounds in the first half.
Wake Forest committed 27 fouls in the game, which led to limited playing time for Songaila and junior forward Josh Howard. Howard had 21 points in Kansas' 31-point loss to the Demon Deons last year, but managed only
"We gave away a lot of offensive rebounds," Songaila said. "I think that's what killed us. It's hard to win when you give up so many offensive rebounds and second-chance points."
nine points and five rebounds in 23 minutes last night. Songaila fouled out with 2:53 left in the game. He finished with 10 points and two rebounds.
"I just missed a lot of open shots," Howard said. "The refs are going to call fouls and if they think we fouled, then we fouled."
Despite the lack of fundamentals, Wake Forest was never really out of the game. The Jayhawks gave the Demon Deacons plenty of opportunities in the second half to get back in the game. Kansas shot 20 of 40 from the free throw line for the game and made only 13-30 in the second half.
Prosser said Kansas deserved credit for being an excellent defensive team and that many of Wake Forest's offensive inabilities were due to the Kansas defense.
"We couldn't put enough pressure on them," Prosser said. "We just couldn't climb that precipice to get down by a possession or to take the lead."
to crawl back into it," Prosser said. "We were unable to take advantage of them."
Prosser said this loss wouldn't define Wake Forest's season.
"I thought they gave us opportunities
"What's going to define the season is what we do from here on in," Prosser said. "We'll see that on the practice floor tomorrow."

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Dec. 5).
Travel and education are your two major themes this year. You're on the road to wisdom and enlightenment.
You may not recognize yourself by the time this year is through. Better take some "before" pictures.
Aries (March 21 - April 19). Today is a 10.
Can't say everything's hunky-dory for everyone else, but you're looking good. Others come to you for leadership, advice and even romance.
Don't get distracted by that until the problem has been solved.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) - Today is a 5.
Did you know that Taurus is the sign of real
爱情? That's the kind of investment you like.
Instead of numbers going up and down, you
have real dirt. Be on the lookout for a bargain.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is an 8.
There's a balancing act going on, but you're good at this. You may have to be very strict to keep everything on schedule. Make the effort, and it'll look easy.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 5.
The urge to splurge is strong. But can it overpower your natural tendency to be thrifty? Get only tax-deductible stuff. That's your justification for getting the best.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is an 8.
Not everything goes your way, but with effort you can make sure that a lot of things do go your way. Inspire a change of heart by addressing your opponent's concerns. You're stronger than you realize.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 5.
You're generally quite efficient, but efficiency is a real challenge now. It'll help keep things in order. That way, if you have to change something quickly, you can.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22). Today is an 8. Information you gather, and how you dispense it, could make a big difference again. Use your wits to help your team beat the competition. It's a complicated game you're playing, so don't hold back. Be bold!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 5.
You don't have complete freedom of movement yet. There are rules you have to follow, or maybe someone important you have to please.
Expenses can be higher than expected, so simply play it cool a while longer.
P
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 9.
There are still a few minor annoyances, but nothing you can't handle. You're at the top of your game. The competition is tough, but you and your allies are tougher. Your communication skills give you the edge.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is an 8. You're in the middle of the controversy, and that's the perfect place for you. Decisions are being made. If you don't speak up, people could overlook your agenda. You may not get everything you want, but at least make yourself heard.
2
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.19). Today is a 4. You have a lot on your mind, so take time to think things over. You may be undergoing a mental metamorphosis. Give a new perspective time to evolve.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 5.

Terps and Illini accept BCS bowl game bids
Pisces
The Associated Press
Maryland and Illinois, two one-loss teams with no shot at the national championship, are headed to BCS bowls -the Terps in Miami, Fla., the Illini in New Orleans.
bowl since the 1934 season. Most likely the Terrapins will face No. 6 Florida, but could meet No. 2 Tennessee or No. 5 Nebraska, depending on the outcome of the Southeastern Conference championship game between the Volunteers and Louisiana State.
No. 7 Maryland, champion of the Atlantic Coast Conference, accepted an invitation yesterday to the Orange Bowl, its first appearance in the game in 46 years.
It's a fitting end for one of the most surprising teams this season. Maryland (10-1), will play Jan. 2 in its first bowl game since 1990 and first major bowl since the 1977 Cotton Bowl.
"It looks like we're going to get to play one of the great teams in the country." Terrapins rookie coach Ralph Friedgen said. "It's really an opportunity for us and an honor for us to be able to play with the caliber of teams mentioned as the other
candidates for this game."
Illinois, the Big Ten champion, heads to the Sugar Bowl for the first time. The No. 8 Illini (10-1) probably will face No. 5 Nebraska, if LSU beats Tennessee on Saturday.
Last year, Maryland was 5-6. As a result, Frieden got every first-place vote in ACC Coach of the Year balloting.
Tennessee but "We're excited," Illinois coach Ron Turner said. "It is one of the premier bowls in college football and has been for many, many years."
Illinois also was 5-6 last year. Its only loss this season was to Michigan.
Clemson moved into a spot in the Humanitarian Bowl in Boise, Idaho, after UCLA decided not to go to any bowl. The Bruins said playing in the New Year's Eve game against Louisiana Tech would have resulted in a $300,000 loss.
"UCLA felt a fiduciary responsibility to at least break even in the bowl game," athletic director Peter Dalis said. "We never said we weren't interested in playing in the game, just unwilling to lose several hundred thousand dollars to play."
Colorado clinging to hopes of a rosy New Year's Day
The Associated Press
BOULDER, Colo. — Colorado is still holding onto the slimest of hopes that it will face Miami for the national championship in the Rose Bowl
It may sound unbelievable to some. To Colorado Coach Gary Barnett, it's the most logical of propositions.
The Buffaloes climbed from seventh in last week's standings to fourth in results released yesterday. Ahead of Colorado is No. 3 Nebraska, Tennessee and Miami at No.1.
Tennessee and Shaheen. If the Volunteers lose to Louisiana State in Saturday's Southeastern Conference Championship game, they would concede the second spot to the Cornhuskers. But Colorado upset Nebraska 62-36 two weeks ago.
Southern Week 16.
"Now, if LSU should defeat No. 2 Tennessee, I would hope that Colorado should be given serious consideration as the No. 2 team in the nation, given
what this team has accomplished," Barnett said.
Though neither 11-1 Nebraska nor 10-2 Colorado has any regular-season games left, the stands still could shift if voters in the writers' and coaches' polls change their voting patterns to allow the Buffaloes a higher place than the team they defeated.
they decided. "If I were sitting on the outside and was a voter and not involved, it'd be hard for me to put a team that had 62 points scored on them ahead of the team that scored those 62 points," Barnett said
it hasn't been a tough decision for several of Barnett's colleagues. The coaches combined to rank the Buffalooes fifth and the Cornhuskers fourth. The writers voted Colorado No. 4 and Nebraska No. 5.
If Barnett's wish isn't granted, Colorado would almost certainly face No. 5 Oregon in the Fiesta Bowl.
Coach still fond of Notre Dame
The Associated Press
After being fired Sunday, Davie talked about how the stress of the job, Notre Dame's difficult schedule and the school's stringent academic requirements made it harder to succeed.
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — As Notre Dame launched a search for its next football coach, some people who heard Bob Davie talk the past two weeks might wonder who would want the job.
requirement of the time I went there, I was hearing the exact same thing," former coach Ara Parseghian said yesterday. "The academics are too tough, you can't compete because of that, the schedule, the whole thing. The exact same thing."
"I don't think I was a miracle man," he said. "Neither were Lou Holtz or Frank Leahy. We all found ways to win."
Now Notre Dame has finished out of the Top 10 for eight straight years, the longest such streak in school history. The Irish finished only two seasons ranked in the Top 25 under Davie, who blamed the schedule.
Notre Dame went 2-7 in 1963 under coach Hugh Devore. A season later, Parseghian led the Irish to a 9-1 finish and a No. 3 ranking — the first of seven straight Top 10 finishes after the Irish had gone six straight years of not finishing in that category.
blamed the ite going to be a challenge each and every year because of the schedule that you play." Davie said five days before he was fired.
five days ago.
Parseghian said how Notre Dame plays affects how difficult the schedule looks. For example, had Notre Dame beaten them, Michigan State wouldn't be playing in the Silicon Valley Bowl and Nebraska and Tennessee probably wouldn't be in contention for Bowl Championship Series berths. Instead, the Irish lost, enhancing the records of those teams.
BIG 12 FOOTBALL Applewhite to replace Simms as starter for Holiday Bowl
AUSTIN, Texas — Major Applewhite will start at quarterback for No. 10 Texas in the Holiday Bowl against No. 20 Washington, Longhorns coach Mack Brown announced yesterday.
Applewhite is the leading passer in Texas history but lost his starting job to Simms late last season after a knee injury. Simms started each of Texas' 12 regular-season games this year and set a school record with 22 touchdown passes.
Brown said his decision was based on Applewhite's performance in Texas' 39-37 Big 12 championship game loss to Colorado. Applewhite came off the bench to relieve Chris Simms in the second quarter and threw for 240 yards and a pair of touchdowns after Simms committed four turnovers.
Brown announced his decision to start Applewhite in an interview posted on the Texas football Web site, www.MackBrown-Texasfootball.com.
BIG TEN FOOTBALL Sugar Bowl officials hoping Illinois will boost ticket sales
NEW ORLEANS — The Sugar Bowl wanted Illinois, and got it.
The Big Ten champs have a great record (10-1), great tradition and a great chance to sell tickets.
"One reason Illinois is appealing to us, besides the fact we've secured the Big Ten champion and an exciting team, is that they have a very enthusiastic group of supporters and they are eager to see them in a bowl," Sugar Bowl executive director Paul Hoolahan said yesterday.
Illinois' opponent, most likely Nebraska or LSU, will be announced on Sunday. LSU would be the choice if it defeats Tennessee in Saturday's Southeastern Conference championship game.
Ticket sales when the Sugar Bowl does not play host to the national championship game are always a concern, Hoolahan said, and LSU would give sales a boost.
BIG 12 VOLLEYBALL Nebraska two matches away from NCAA Final Four spot
And that, the Cornhuskers say, is right where they want to be.
LINCOLN, Neb. — After opening the NCAA volleyball tournament with two wins on the road, defending national champion Nebraska is back at home.
"You feel like you're playing uphill when you'e an opponent here," coach John Cook said yesterday. "Not only to you have to deal with Nebraska volleyball, you have to deal with that crowd and you just feel like you're swimming upstream the entire time."
Two matches, with the first Friday night against Colorado State, are all that separate the Cornhuskers (29-1) from returning to the Final Four for the eighth time. With a win Friday, Nebraska would face either Florida or Pepperdine in the regional final Saturday night.
The regional winner is off to the semifinals in San Diego next weekend.
"At this point if you're not motivated, you are probably not going to be in this position," Cook said. "We have two matches that we have to win this weekend if we want to go to San Diego. I think that is the motivation."

Mangino: Right man for the job
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 3B
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
was last night when greeted so kindly by Kansas fans, but you should've seen how he glowed when he was introduced as head coach
An eager smile was etched across his face as he entered Hadl Auditorium. As Chancellor Robert Hemenway spoke about the search process, Mangino leaned back in his chair, gazed toward his family and flashed a quick wink at his daughter, Samantha, a KU sophomore. Sure, it was an important day for Mangino, one of the most exciting of his life, but at the biggest moment of his coaching career he thought of his family. That's the flash of family values that Kansas fans also love.
Jayhawk fans wanted someone with discipline, recruiting skills, lots of integrity and the ability to win football games. Mangino meets all of those qualities and exceeds them. Yes, Kansas fans, you should be proud about football today because Mark Mangino is in town. He's your new football coach and he's a winner.

'Hawks: Defense secures win

Kirk Hinrich clinched the victory with a steal and two-handed fast break dunk.
Kansas enjoyed an equally distributed offensive night as five Jayhawk player joined Simien in scoring double figures. Junior forward Nick Collision posted a double-double, senior guard Jeff Boschee added three three-pointers and freshman guard Aaron Miles and junior forward Drew Gooden each dropped in 11 points. Despite turning the ball over eight times, Hinrich ended with 15 points.
with 10 points. But Kansas' defense, not its offense, kept the Hawks from relinquishing their lead in the second half.
"They're an excellent defensive team." Wake Forrest coach Skip Prosser said. "They have good quickness on the perimeter and it's hard to run a smooth offense because of their pressure."
Note:
Gooden and Williams each remarked after Saturday's victory at Arizona that the McHale Center could have been the loudest arena they had ever experienced.
Williams took back that statement last night and thanked the 16,500 crazed Jayhawk fans in attendance last night.

"The crowd was sensational," Williams said. "One time in the second half, they couldn't get a shot because our crowd was in such a frenzy."

Women's team lacks experience,but strong
By Jessica Scott
Kansas sportswriter
Finding the right combination of variables takes time, and Kansas women's basketball coach Marian Washington hopes to discover an answer to the starting lineup equation tonight against Arizona State (6-2).
The Jayhawks travel to Tempe, Ariz., for an 8 p.m. matchup with the Sun Devils. This season, Kansas (2-3) has tooyed with four different lineups, and only three players — freshman Chelsea Thompson and seniors K.C
Hilgenkamp and Selena Scott — have started in every contest. Nine Jayhawks have appeared in every game, with seven of them averaging at least 17 minutes per game. This variance is something Washington believes is helping the team find its chemistry.
"I think this team is pulling together," she said. "They feel like they're jilling now. I think everyone's on the same page; they believe in each other and I think they re very optimistic."
Freshman guard/forward Blair Waltz, who scored a career-high
13 points against Oregon, is an occasional member of the starting five and said she thought her team eventually would discover the formula it needed for success.
"It's been kind of hard because we have five, six newcomers, but I think that we're definitely developing very rapidly," she said. "When we finally get things all on the same beat, we're going to be a team to beat."
Although Kansas has kept opponents to 39 percent shooting, the Jayhawks seem to have had trouble finding offensive production from underclassmen, Jayhawk seniors Hilgenkamp, Scott, center Kristin Geoffroy, center Nikki White and guard/forward Katie Hannon account for 63.8 percent of the scoring and 64.5 percent of the assists. Still, Washington said she was not discouraged and remained patient with her young team.
"There's a lot of hope for our young club and if we can keep growing," Washington said. "I'm going to be really pleased."

DVD sets let fans relive favorites
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Want the whole of Monty Python's Flying Circus at your fingertips? Feel like shutting yourself in for a private marathon of The X-Files? Care to relive an entire season of America's favorite wise guy family, The Sopranos?
The DVD format allows studios and distributors to put whole seasons of TV series in consumers' hands in compact boxes set loaded with behind-the-scenes material and other extras for serious fans.
With the number of DVD players in U.S. houses approaching 25 million, collectible boxed sets have grown in popularity, and distributors have put out a rush of new sets in time for holiday shopping season.
On DVD, a full season requires just an inch or two of space, with bonuses such as cast interviews, deleted scenes, series trivia, director and writer commentary
tracks and other features. DVDs also are more durable, provide better sound and images and eliminate the pesky task of rewinding videotapes.
"From a hard-core fan point of view, it enables them to get more into the series," said Peter Staddon, senior vice president for home-video marketing at Thea Century Fox, which launched the TV series boxed-set business with The X-Files first season DVD release last year.
The studio has worked its way up to season four, released last month, with plans to issue two seasons a year until it hits the end of the show's run.
Fox has been a leader in mining its television catalog for DVD, and other studios and distributors have quickly followed.
Stargaze SG-1. BBC Video released the full run of Faulty Towers. Show time issues the first season of Queer as Folk in January. Artisan Entertainment this month comes out with the first season of Twin Peaks.
HBO has issued the first two seasons of The Sopranos and Sex and the City and will follow with the first season of *Oz* next year. MGM has put out season one of
The latter series is one of those TV rariages, a short-lived series that still has a devoted fan base 10 years after it went off the network schedule.
Distributors shy away from releasing sales figures but say some sets have sold in the hundreds of thousands, bringing in tens of millions of dollars in revenue.
Shows that top the Nielsen ratings are not necessarily the top candidates for complete-season release on DVD. Warner Bros. has taken a different approach for its hit series Friends, putting out two-disc "best-of" sets rather than a full season episodes.

Student excited dad got head job
By Brent Briggeman Kansan sportswriter
Samantha Mangino opted for independence when she chose a college two years ago.
With her family still living in Manhattan, but her father recently hired as an assistant coach at Oklahoma, the logical choices were Kansas State and Oklahoma. But Mangino wanted to get away from familiarity.
"I wanted to be on my own and get the whole college experience," said Mangino, a sophomore at Kansas and a student assistant in the Athletics Department media relations office. "Now I get the best of both worlds."
After she spent a year and a half away from home, Mangino's parents are coming to her.
coming to test.
Her father, Mark Mangino, was named as the 35th Kansas football coach yesterday. The rest of the family, including her 17-year-old brother, Tommy, and their mother, Mary
Jane, plan to move to Lawrence immediately.
Despite Mangino's choice to move away from home two years ago, her father knew she wanted him to take the Kansas job.
"I was excited to call her and tell her, and she was too," said the new Kansas coach. "I think all along she wanted me to come here. She didn't come out and say it, but quietly I know this is where she wanted me to end up."
Though Mangino had his own experiences when his teams played against Kansas in his 11 years in the Big 8 and Big 12 Conferences, he said his daughter's praise of the University of Kansas helped him make up his mind.
"One of the things that was considered when I was offered this position is, 'What does my daughter think of the University of Kansas?'" he said. "It's been a very positive experience for her and she's been a great ambassador for the University."
Mangino struggled to hold back her emotions after yesterday's press conference.
ference.
"I got really teary-eyed because my dad is finally a head coach and I go to school here," Mangino said as she wiped tears from her eyes. "It's just a special time in our lives. I don't think anyone will ever understand how cool it is. It's overwhelming."
overwhelming.
Al Bohl, Kansas athletics director, noted the new coach's dedication to family as one of his attractive attributes.
attributes.
As for his daughter's privacy, she said her parents assured her it wouldn't be an issue.
"I don't know how excited she is, but I'm very excited," Mary Jane Mangino said. "She said, 'Mom, I have my life,' but we do too."
we do too. Mangino said she would continue to work in the media relations office.

Coach brings commitment, experience
By Brent Briggeman
Kansan sportswriter
Within 30 minutes of being introduced as the new Kansas football coach, Mark Mangino experienced his first tense moment.
moment.
In his introductory press conference, reporters began focusing on Mangino's weight and whether it would affect his ability to command respect with the football team. He tried to jokingly dismiss the topic, saying he spent more time in the projection room than the weight room. But the questions persisted.
question questions.
Finally, when newspaper columnist Jason Whitlock, himself known for his bouts with weight problems, popped a question about weight. Mangino quipped a perfect response.
At that, the room full of reporters, Athletics Department staff and supporters erupted with laughter. The tension was gone and the topic was dropped.
"Did the Kansas City Star ask you these questions when you were hired?" Mangino asked Whitlock.
Al Bohl, Kansas athletics director, who noted that Mangino's weight was never an issue in the coaching search.
pointed to the coach's handling of the situation as an example of his character.
"We talked to a lot of people and everybody told us he was an A-plus person," Bohl said. "You could see that right there, he knows how to handle himself when things are going well and when things aren't."
when things are there.
During the past 11 seasons, Mangino has learned from two of the best coaches in football. He worked with Bill Snyder at Kansas State for eight seasons and helped the Wildcats transform from one of college football's doormats to a perennial national contender. While with Bob Stoops at Oklahoma, Mangino helped turn a 5-6 team into national champions in just two seasons.

"I've been very fortunate to work for two of the best football coaches in America, I don't know if there's anyone in this room who would dispute that," Mangino said. "The only thing I can tell you, I took good notes in the meetings."

Mangino's excitement was infectious yesterday. Sophomore running back Reggie Duncan couldn't stand still as he talked with reporters. Duncan said he was thrilled to have a coach who had expertise in offense, especially after the team's lack of offensive success last year.
When Mangino was at Kansas State, he tried to persuade Kansas senior receiver Harrison Hill, then a high school recruit, to come to K-State. Hill never forgot the impression that Mangino left with him.

"As soon as his name surfaced I wanted him to get the job. He doesn't want to be 6-5, he wants to be the best. That's an attitude we haven't had around here for a while."

Online permits may replace snail mail by spring
Electronic delivery method meant to eliminate costs, provide better service
By Paul Smith Kansan staff writer
Permits to enroll could be available on the Internet next March — at least for those who have KU e-mail addresses.
The Registrar's office is developing an electronic format for permits to enroll that would allow them to be sent across the Web for use during the Fall 2002 enrollment session.
Electronic delivery is intended to eliminate costs in addition to problems associated with sending permits through the mail — particularly those instances where the permit is sent to students' permanent addresses rather than their Lawrence addresses.
"Only the delivery method is going to be different," said Cindy Derritt, associate registrar for enrollment services.
Derritt said the most likely scenario would involve sending out an email to students with a link to their online permits, which then could be printed from any locale.
services.
Access to the online permits will be governed by the same program that secures online grade information:
Students must submit their KU e-mail account log-on name and password or their online ID and password
Students would still be required to obtain stamps and pay any holds.
Mark Pickeler, systems specialist for academic technology services, said the KU e-mail log-on and password would be the best way to authenticate whether online users were actually KU students.
"The authentication process is necessary to protect students from each other or outside users,"Pickerel said.
suit. Kathryn Huxtable, applications programming supervisor for academic computing, said students without a KU e-mail account would be able to access their electronic permit with an online ID — which can be obtained online through academic computing services.
Students will still be able receive a print-out of their permits from the Registrar's office.
Regist. in school "We hope that strategy will be used by a minority of students," Huxtable said.
She said there are only 2,230 students on the Lawrence and Edwards campuses who don't have a KU email account or online ID.
"It's not universal, but we have pretty good coverage." Huxtable said.
Marshall Murphy, Andover freshman, said that electronic permits would not make much difference, but "It would be nice to have it available online so you can have it readily available if you lose it."
Pam Houston, director of undergraduate services for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said the college also would be converting its advising forms into an electronic format.
The CLAS advising forms are a separate project from the Registrar's electronic permits, though they will both use the same authentication system.
"We're hoping this will save a lot of money for the departments in terms of mailings," Pickerel said.

Campus bus system turns 30
KU on Wheels to offer students free rides today in celebration of birthday
By Lauren Brandenburg Kansan senior staff writer
KU on Wheels is offering free rides today in honor of its 30th birthday.
For Rachel Wedel, a Leavenworth senior who has never ridden the bus, that's enough incentive for her to try it.

Since KU on Wheels began, the buses have always been student-funded and student-run, a setup that Appleby and Holly Krebs, former transportation coordinator, said was unique. Krebs, who graduated last spring, said some other universities funded their campus' transportation systems and let students run them, but neither she nor Appleby were aware of another university with a system matching KU on Wheels.
The buses are owned by the Lawrence Bus Company, and KU on Wheels has a contract with the company for the campus service. Appleby said that about 40 percent of the KU on Wheels budget came from the student transportation fee. The other 60 percent was from bus pass sales. Appleby said sales had remained the same despite the beginning of the Lawrence public transportation system.
A KU on Wheels bus spews out exhaust in a cyclist's face at the corner of Jayhawk Boulevard and Sunflower Road. The antiquated buses are known for depositing their odoriferous fumes around campus.
Krebs said KU on Wheels began 30 years ago when Student Senate contracted with the Lawrence Bus Company to provide the service for students.

Lost Legacy
STORY BY MATT NORTON
When President Bush announced on television that the United States would begin bombing Afghanistan, former University of Kansas track star Cliff Wiley's thoughts returned to 1980, when another presidential declaration destroyed his dream of an Olympic medal.
dream of an Olympic medal.
Wiley earned his spot on the U.S. team by finishing second in the 200 meters at the Olympic Trials in Eugene, Ore. He also would have run a leg on the heavily-favored 4x100 relay team.
However, at the request of President Jimmy Carter, the U.S. Olympic Committee boycotted the Moscow Summer Olympics, because the Soviet Union had sent troops to Afghanistan.
because the Soviets one year later, Salt Lake City is preparing to host the Winter Olympics and U.S. troops are fighting in Afghanistan, not to annex it, but to destroy terrorist cells and the extremist Taliban regime that filled the vacuum left when the Soviets retreated in the late 1980s.

Wiley is convinced that the boycott was pointless, and that Carter drafted the 1980 team to be soldiers on a Cold War battlefield.
"But the U.S. Olympic team is not part of the military," Wiley said.
Buttne U.S. Olympic team is not part of the military, Wiley said. Although Cliff Wiley doesn't have an Olympic medal, his place in KU and U.S. track history is secure, and his success didn't end at the finish-line tape. One of 10 children raised by a single mother in inner-city Baltimore, Wiley overcame tuberculosis as a child, won three U.S. track championships and became a world-class runner, an advocate for student-athletes from low-income homes and later an attorney in practice.

As the Winter Olympics were taking place in Lake Placid, N.Y., President Carter announced on Jan. 20, 1980, he would

Senate seeks inclusion regarding tuition debate
By Luke Daley Kansan staff writer
Some members of Student Senate are displeased that the University of Kansas administration has not asked for their input about a possible increase in tuition.
Kyle Browning, student body vice president, said he thought it was ridiculous that Senate had not been asked its opinion regarding options for tuition increases.
"I want the administration to do what it should have done a month ago and ask for our suggestions," Browning said.
Senators held an emergency meeting last night and attempted to formulate a
strategy to get the administration to ask for their recommendations.
Provost David Schulenburger said Senate had the same budget information as the University of Kansas.
"I've indicated my willingness to meet with Student Senate at any time they'd like." Schulenburger said.
Browning said he wasn't sure how the tuition increase would be avoided. However, he said he thought the Board of Regents came up with the increased tuition idea to avoid researching other options that didn't cause students to compensate for the lack of additional state funding.
"I think it's a good thing our tuition
is low," Browning said. "I think that makes us look better than a lot of our peer institutions."
Some Senate members want to organize meetings with Schulenburger, create a petition demanding the inclusion of Senate input and if nothing else works, protesting.
Browning said any protests directed toward the administration for lack of student feedback would be a last resort, and that demonstrations wouldn't start until at least next semester.
Browning said he wanted to wait and see if the administration would include Senate during the last few weeks of the semester before protests would be organized.
Ben Burton, Student Senate Executive Committee chairman, said he wanted students to feel like they had a say in the decision to raise tuition, but the administration and the Board of Regents had not given the students any chances to voice their concerns.
characteres it "it seems like they had this all mapped out in advance," Burton said. "They've kind of insulted the students and the whole governance procedure by not asking for our input."

Man charged with 4 murders in case dating to early 1980s
SEATTLE — Authorities charged a 52-year old truck company worker with murder yesterday in the deaths of four women blamed on the Green River serial killer.
Gary Leon Ridgway, who was arrested last week, was charged with four counts of aggravated murder after authorities said DNA evidence had linked him to three of the victims.

Forty-nine women were thought to be victims of the Green River killer in Washington and Oregon.

Mail Boxes Etc. can't stay afloat
By Louise Stauffer
Special to the Kansan
Mail Boxes Etc. on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union is going out of business Dec. 21.
Supervisor Michael Fine said that although employees were disappointed, the closure was unavoidable.
"The fiscal realities of the situation made it necessary." Fine said.
Some students said they would be inconvenienced because of the shutdown.
"It's going to be really obnoxious," said Dan Johnson, St. Paul, Minn., junior.
Johnson, who had not been aware of the closing, said that he used the copying services provided by the company whenever he was in the Union.
"I use the copy machine every time, especially when I'm copying something from the library reserves and I only have two hours," he said.
Pat Beard, director of Building Services, said that the company began having financial difficulties last year.
"The Union signed a lease-toown contract last year and began to run it last January," he said.
The company moved into the Union two years ago this month.
Beard said that he was looking for a company to replace Mail Boxes Etc, by next semester.
"Some possibilities are an
international travel service or a barber shop." Beard said.
Beard is meeting with Lawrence postmaster Bill Reynolds next week to review the chances of having stamp vending machines where the business used to be.
"We're probably not going to end up with a setup like Mail Boxes Etc." he said.
Beard said that, at a minimum, stamps would be sold in the Hawk Shop on the fourth floor of the Union.

"If a lot of students were using it in the first place, then this wouldn't be happening," she said.

Times are bad. No one's hiring, the economy is slumping, and the country is unsure of the future. How can we reassure the students?

Good help us all...
KU Administration: Keeping the student in mind.
CLAY MCCUISTION/KANSAN
EDITORIAL
Let your voice shape process of tuition raise
Students often complain that they have no voice in University administration, but students have an opportunity to let the administration know how they feel about proposed tuition increases.
Furthermore, it is the responsibility of students to express their opinions to the administration and have some input on a decision that will affect all students in some way — the impending tuition increase.
Because of budget shortages, the state of Kansas is not likely to increase funding to its universities. The Board of Regents requested that its schools think about increasing tuition to make up the difference.
The University of Kansas has in turn proposed six tuition increase proposals. Under four of the six proposals tuition would be more than $100 a credit hour for in-state students.
Provost David Shulenburger is meeting with each professional school and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences to try to get as much student feedback as possible before the University makes its recommendations to the Board of Regents in January.
At this time, Shulenburger has met with faculty and students at all but five schools. So far, the turnout for the meetings has been inconsistent.
While the decision to raise tuition seems almost a certain outcome, students have the opportunity to help determine how much the tuition increase will be and how quickly the increases would affect all students.
Students should attend these meetings. Attending a meeting, finding out what the options are and expressing your opinion helps each school and each student on campus.
If your school's meeting has passed, attend a different school's or contact the provost's office with questions, comments and suggestions. Reach Provost Shulenburger at 864-4904 or write to dshulenburger@ku.edu.
Go straight to the top. Let the Board of Regents know what you want. Reach the Topeka Regents office at 785-296-342120 find contact information at kansasregents.org/contact.html.
Don't leave out the Kansas Legislature. It is time to let our representatives in Topeka know that people in Kansas value quality, competitive higher education and expect their leaders to support education as much as possible.
Contact Senator David Kerr, President of the Senate and chairman of the Ways and Means committee. Reach him at 785-296-2419. or by e-mail at kerrg@senate.state.ks.us.
Royal Dairies for the educational board.
A tuition increase looks like a sure thing. However, by working with University administrators and contacting the Board of Regents and Kansas Legislature, KU students can shape the increase to be a help to the University that still works for students.
PERSPECTIVE
Western Civ does no justice to history or the University
All right, I'll admit it. My column about Western Civ class was really an assignment I had been given to talk about the appropriateness of teaching the Quran in the class. I thought it would be a good thing to share with the half dozen people that still read my columns. It wasn't really the Quran itself that got me worked up, it just happened that the Quran was the impetus for the article.
But while the religious text was the vehicle for my critique of Western Civ, my complaint could apply to any of the other works we read as well. The fundamental issue is this: By failing to look closely at carefully selected works, Western Civ fails to educate.
Advocates desperately defend Western Civ's importance in two ways. They try to compare it to introductory courses in other disciplines and they try to claim that it is an introductory course for all disciplines. Both of these claims are patently absurd.
In any other discipline at the University, there are two types of introductory courses. The first type is a broad course that imparts the essence of the discipline and provides an analytical framework for non-majors, the second type imparts knowledge that is required for later classes in that major. Western Civ is neither.
Western Civ's ridiculously broad focus requires that no more than a fleeting moment can be spent on any one topic. A conservative estimate shows the works covered in one semester in Western Civ are collectively covered in

at least 24 credit hours worth of work elsewhere in the University. Either the HWC folks have a secret ultra-efficient teaching technique they're not sharing (if they do, they should develop an infomercial "Understand Cicero in 3 short hours, or your money back!") , or else they're skimming over most of the relevant information.
Western Civ also doesn't impart any knowledge required by later classes. This is shown in a number of ways. First, Western Civ is unlike MATH 115, PHSX 114, or any other Intro to the Major course because in math and physics, failure to understand the basic material will render a student completely incapable of understanding more advanced material. You can't do calculus without knowing how to add, you can't do mechanics without understanding force, but you can do anything you want without ever having set foot in a Western Civ lecture.
The University must believe this Western Civ isn't a prerequisite for anything but graduation. You don't even need to take Western Civ to take advanced courses in the Humanities and Western Civilization Department,
for crying out loud. Even if Western Civ does impart some knowledge required for later work, it seems the students and departments are doing just fine without it.
So Western Civ isn't really an introduction for any one course at KU. But Western Civ advocates aren't ready to give up yet. Perhaps Western Civ is an introduction to college itself — an "important foundation" upon which all coursework is based.
If Western Civ really was essential to understanding college, why is it a "sophomore-level course?" It would seem that if Western Civ is so important, it should be the first thing students take. Otherwise they waste their whole freshman year because they lack the necessary framework that only six hours of Western Civ can provide.
Rather than speculate, why doesn't the HWC department do a study and show that Western Civ causes some sort of improvement in later course work?
Western Civ isn't necessary to understand any one course at the University. It takes an approach more appropriate for Cliff's Notes than for the classroom. So in the spirit of the 2030 columns, I imagine a University where students are allowed to explore their own intellectual interests at a much deeper and more profound level than they do in Western Civ. It's a nice dream — let's hope one day it becomes reality.

Deny Bush fast-track power of trade
For the last few days I have been trying to educate myself on the issues involved with Fast Track legislation, or Trade Promotion Authority. In its present incarnation, H.R. 3005, the legislation is up for a vote today.
Under this bill, Congress would have to vote yes or no on all trade agreements made by the President. No amendments would be possible. In addition, Congress would have only 60 days to consider these enormous, complex contracts, and then would have less than 20 hours of floor time with which to debate their vote.
Free trade issues are, to say the least, extremely complicated. The issues range from child labor laws to border tariffs to the amount of pesticide residues that are acceptable in the food we eat.
George W. Bush would dearly love Fast Track powers so that he can negotiate the Free Trade Area of the Americas. This would be similar to NAFTA, although much broader in scope, encompassing most all of the western hemisphere.

These are concerns of the Congress and we the People. The constitution of the United States specifically invests in Congress the power to "regulate Commerce with foreign Nations." It would be unwise and irresponsible to give up this power completely to the executive branch. Our system of checks and balances depends on Congress overseeing and amending trade deals negotiated by the president.
will set the tone for years of international commerce.
Fasttrack.org argues that "In giving Presidents Nixon, Carter, Reagan and Bush [Senior] fast track negotiating authority, previous Congresses recognized that foreign governments will not negotiate with the United States if we do not have Fast Track."
Still, Fast Track authority is an unacceptable sacrifice of legislative due
process and deliberation and it is only in exchange for unsupervised profit and expediency. Fast track legislation disembodies the working citizen from his or her own economic future.
At this time, U.S. congressman Dennis Moore, D-Kan., has not decided his vote for the fast track legislation, and his constituency can make a difference.
It takes about two minutes to call and say NO (oryes, I suppose...to Fast Track. Either of the following numbers will connect you to the offices of your representatives: 1-800-393-1082 (courtesy of the AFL-CIO) and 1-888-832-4246 (courtesy of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce).
An office representative will register your yea or nay, your name, and your contact information, if you so chose, in order to send you developments on the issue.
President Clinton asked for Fast Track twice during his presidency, and was denied both times. Make your voice heard and we will continue to share in the decisions that shape the fate of our lives and our economy.

Wiley was one of hundreds of U.S. athletes who made many sacrifices to get to Moscow, and he was shocked by Carter's threat.
After graduat-
After graduating from KU in 1978. Wiley moved to Houston to prepare for the 1980 Olympic Trials. He took several part-time jobs to support his son

and wife, who was in medical school at the University of Houston, while trying to train at a world-class level. He would quit a job if employers wouldn't let him take time off for track meets.
And some jobs just didn't work out, Wiley recalled with amusement.
He was in a manager's training program at a fast-food franchise. The first day, he burned his hand on one of the fryers.
The next day, he was carrying a large trash can to the dumpster behind the building. As he began to empty it, he fell into the dumpster. When he returned covered in mayonnaise and trash, Wiley was told by the owner, "Don't come back."
One steady source of revenue was the local hospital, where he would go on occasion to donate a pint of blood for $25.
Getting ahead of his competition on the track was difficult, too.
He had failed to advance out of the semifinal round at the U.S. national meet. It seemed unlikely he would fare better at the Olympic Trials two weeks later.
Clyde Duncan Sr., his coach in Houston, diagnosed what Wiley was doing wrong in the 200-meter dash.
Wiley took Duncan's advice and made the team, finishing second in 20.52 seconds.

Olympic tags. But the White House warned that anyone going to Moscow would be stripped of his or her passports and not allowed back into the United States.
When the deadline passed for countries to submit their lists of competitors two weeks before the Games, Wiley finally admitted to himself that it was over.
All that was left was to ask why they were staying home.
"The boycott was a pretty misguided policy. Our business here."
Misdirected retaliation
interests in Afghanistan have always been. "It was a great way to make the Soviets miserable," said Philip Schrodt, KU professor of political science and an expert in international relations and foreign policy. "But there was no close cultural affinity, or natural resources, or any reason the U.S. would ever want to get
involved in Afghanistan."
Afghanistan wasn't the only factor leading to the boycott, Schrodt said. Iranian militants had taken control of the U.S. embassy in Teheran on Nov.4, 1979.
Wiley finished the 1981 season ranked No. 1 in the world at 400 meters by Track and Field News. He was a gold medal candidate for the 1984 Olympics, but injury ended his hopes.

He joined Steve Simmons, with whom he had worked on the 1977 World Cup team. Simmons headed a job program for developing Olympic athletes. Simmons helped Wiley get a job with Trans America, the insurance giant that would insure the Los Angeles Olympics.
He moved to San Jose, Calif., in 1983 to get ready for the Los Angeles Games.

The United Kingdom supported the U.S.decision verbally, but chose to send its athletes to the Games.
Wiley did get to run in Russia during the summers of 1979 and 1981 — while the Soviets were still in Afghanistan — in dual meets between the United States and the Soviet Union. He won the 400 meters and ran on the winning 4x400 relay in 1981 at Leningrad.

Wiley had all the pieces in place to make a run at the gold medal: a good job, a great coach and a talented training partner.
He won the 1983 Pan American Games gold medal, dominated the 1984 U.S. indoor circuit and won big races over all other top-ranked runners, including fellow American Alonzo Babers.

When KU followed the order, Wiley sued the NCAA and KU, receiving a temporary injunction to compete from a federal district judge in Topeka. The NCAA appealed the decision and told KU officials that they would be forced to forfeit any points Wiley scored at the NCAA and Big 8 meets.
However, NCAA rules forbade anyone from taking money above the value of a full scholarship, so the NCAA ordered KU to declare Wiley ineligible.
Wiley continued to run and the NCAA kept its word, stripping him of five individual Big 8 titles and KU of two team championships.
"We had practice sometimes and I had to say, 'Stop. You guys are running too goo r."
"I never missed a meal in my life, but I didn't come from a wealthy family and lived in some pretty tough neighborhoods," he said. "But I had never, ever had to deal with the kind of stress that I had to deal with going through that whole situation."

Wiley wrote his name throughout the KU record book and set world records in the indoor 300-yard dash and as a member of the U.S. 1977 World Cup 4x100 relay. But despite being the star of the team, he often butted heads with KU coach Bob Timmons.

thought.
The lawsuit and the conflict with Timmons caused Wiley to rethink what track meant to him.
"Yeah, we were successful as a team, but I didn't really feel that I was successful." Wiley said. "I realized I also had some goals that I had forgotten about once I got to KU."
Already one of the nation's top college sprinters, Wiley got his chance to prove himself on an international stage later that summer.
Steve Simmons, then coach of the 1977 World Cup team getting ready to compete in Dusseldorf, West Germany, picked Wiley for the 4x100 relay.
Simmons had never seen anyone run the difficult third leg like Wiley.
Running the third leg means moving very fast and contorting one's body at a 45-degree angle toward the middle of the track while going around the final turn.
"I liked his personality," Simmons said. "He was calm, mature. It's hard to judge distance when you're running sideways."
Wiley was shocked he had been selected. He was the youngest member of the team and had been picked ahead of runners with far more impressive resumes.
And because the third leg doesn't hold the glory of coming down the final stretch to the roars of a crowd, it takes a special mentality to want to do it well.
He showed his appreciation by helping the team set a world record at Dusseldorf — the only record broken at the meet. The performance cast Wiley into the national spotlight.
"They show that bad boy on TV at ballet time of a football game
— live all over the country."
Wiley recalled. "I'm a celebrity, and I never heard anything about that one-semester scholarship again."
Moving On
Moving on Wiley took his strong will to succeed from the athletic arena to the classroom and courtroom.
As the Games were underway in Moscow, Wiley was settling into his first year of law school at KU. Wiley soon learned law
school was going to be as much of a challenge as going to the Olympics.
"The first day of class, the professor says. Look to your left, look to your right. One of you won't be here in three years." Wiley recalls. "The two guys looking at me, they see me, and they kind of laugh and relax.
"He was going to be in the thick of the race, whatever the distance. That doesn't always mean winning, but being right there in the thick of the battle." Bob Timmons Former KU track coach
'We know this guy ain't going to make it.'
Coping with the disappointment
"And I'm saying to myself, 'I'm not really sure they're not right,' " he said.
That team has been called the greatest in U.S. track and field history.
Like many first-year law students, Wiley struggled to get through all the work.
"He was going to be in the thick of the shirt, whatever the distance," Timmons said. "That doesn't always mean winning, but being right there in the thick of the battle."
On that team were long jumper Bob Beamon and Dick Fosbury, who revolutionized the high jump by flopping over
But Wiley found that running helped him survive.
have a good case, evidence is on your client's side, and for some reason, you still don't win."
During the 2000 Olympic Trials in Sacramento, Wiley took a bus ride with other former Olympians to Lake Taheo, Nev., to celebrate the 1968 Trials.
"Going out and jogging and doing workouts, that was something I just did," he said.
Now an independent lawyer in Kansas City, Kan., working mostly on civil cases, Wiley says practicing law can be more frustrating than running track.
Wiley does relive his disappointment when he's around Olympic champions.
In track, he said, "If you did the work and you're prepared, and if you're lucky, chances are you're going to be as successful as you can be. In law, you can
Since hanging up his spikes, Wiley has coached high school runners, worked with KU sprinters, was an assistant coach for the 1993 World Championships team, and spent time as an administrator with USA Track and Field.
Timmons, his old KU coach, said the same toughness Wiley displayed butting heads with him made him successful.
"I'm on the bus with my three national championships, but these guys are talking about the experience of being at
the bar on his back, as well as former KU greats Jim Ryun and Al Oerter.
It made Wiley think what the 1980 team might have done and what he missed by not competing at the Olympics.
the Games," Wiley said. "They have a kinship that they'll never lose."
Wiley, who often talks on the phone with his mother in Baltimore before he heads to court, first learned from her that the United States began bombing Afghanistan. Later, his brother called and reminisced about how Afghanistan cost Cliff his chance for an Olympic medal.
He's not bitter — he says he even voted for President Carter that fall — but he knows he was enlisted in a battle where athletes didn't belong.
"I guess we were the last major salvo of the Cold War," Wiley said.

114-year-old bridge detonated
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A demolition crew imploded a 400-foot section of the Chouteau Bridge over the Missouri River on Tuesday, bringing it down in seconds.
The demolition crew used 160 high-tech explosive devices that were placed in key spots along the bridge's beams and its trusses. The detonation began with a spark and a loud pop, followed by fireballs that engulled the top of the bridge, its middle and the deck.
Then, as a deafening blast shook the air, the bridge section plopped straight into the water. The explosion, which could be heard a few miles away, set off car alarms.
After the thick cloud of black smoke cleared, a mangled mass of twisted steel beams lay in the shallow south side of the river.
sailboat.
Under U.S. Coast Guard guidelines, crews have 48 hours to remove the debris from the navigation channel, said Brian Kidwell, operations engineer for the Missouri Department of Transportation. After that, they will prepare to raze the middle section, possibly as early as next week.
A new and wider Chouteau Bridge — a $35 million project under construction since 1996 — is scheduled to open Dec. 17, and officials want to raze the middle section of the old bridge before then.
"I have crossed that bridge so
many times," said Gayle Davidson, 67, who was among those watching the demolition. "I used to get a kick out of driving company over the bridge because it was so scary."
was so lucky.
When the 114-year-old bridge was built in 1886-87, originally to carry trains, it was just the second bridge to span the Missouri River at Kansas City. The City bought it in 1951 and turned it into a vehicular bridge.
"We crossed that bridge for 38 years," said Rosemary Thompson, an observer. "It's progress, but it's also sad to see it go."

The third section of the old bridge, near the north side of the river, will come down later.

Two soccer players honored
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
Two Kansas soccer players were named to the the National Soccer Coaches Association of America All-Central region team yesterday.
Senior forward Hilla Rantala, who finished her career as Kansas' all-time leading scorer, captured second-team honors on the All-Central region team. Junior defender Pardis Brown was named to the third team.
Rantala said she would not have achieved the honor without the help of her teammates.
"It's good that the team is getting recognition," she said. "I just wish that more people would've gotten awarded. But it's definitely good for the program."
Rantala and Brown were co-captains on a Jayhawk squad that finished 13-7 and qualified for the NCAA tournament.
Brown and junior defender Brianna
Valento served as mentors to a youthful Kansas defense that posted a team-record seven shutouts this season. Brown is a repeat member of the NSCAAs all-region squad.
Rantala led the Kansas offense, scoring 10 goals and 12 assists, both single-season records at Kansas. After taking a medical redshirt last season, Rantala said she was glad to end her college career on a high pc

career on a high note
"It's good to retire now—better than it would've been retiring last season," she said. "I won't have too many regrets."
Rantala and Brown were crucial to the unprecedented success of Kansa$^a$
soccer this season. The Jayhawks finished fourth in the Big 12 Conference, and were ranked in the NSCAA Central region for most of the season.
Kansas received an at-large bid into
the NCAA tournament, where it lost 1-0 in the first round to Brigham Young on Nov. 15 in Lincoln, Neb.
The Jayhawks were one of three teams selected from the approximately 60 teams in the Central region to represent the area in the NCAA tournament.

Florida holds off Michigan State
The Associated Press
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Behind a career-high 23 points from Matt Bonner and a smothering full-court press. No. 6 Florida finally broke through against No. 24 Michigan State for a 74-70 victory last night.
Brett Nelson scored 15 points for the Gators (5-1), who won in this, the second rematch against the Spartans (4-3) since the teams met in the national championship game in 2000.
The Gators led by 19 points midway through the second half, then survived a late scare when the Spartans made four quick 3-pointers to pull within four with 18 seconds left.
After Chris Hill hit the final 3, the Spartans stole the inbounds pass, but missed two 3-pointers as time expired, and Florida finally had its win in this series.
Michigan State defeated Florida 89-76 in the championship game to end the 1999-2000 season, then won the first rematch last year in East Lansing. But these were not the same Spartans, and the O'Connell Center surely isn't Michigan State country.
Playing surrounded by fans clad in
blue and orange T-shirts — they call them the Rowdy Reptiles — Bonner had everything from his baby hook to his 3-point shot working. He also had 10 rebounds.
It was a good thing, because Florida's other big man, Udonis Haslem, spent most of the night in foul trouble, and finished with just eight points and six rebounds.
With or without Haslem, the Spartans couldn't handle Florida's press. Michigan State committed 20 turnovers, a good number coming in their own backcourt.
Marcus Taylor led the Spartans with 17 points, and Kelvin Torbert — one of three freshmen getting big playing time for Michigan State — had 15, including two $s during the late rally.
After trailing by 19, Michigan State cut it to 13 with 7 minutes left and had momentum. That's when Bonner showed his value goes beyond mere shooting and rebounding.
On a Florida possession, the Spartans forced the ball loose and it looked headed to the backcourt, but Bonner chased it down, picked it up just in front of the line and called a timeout before
he lost his balance and fell into the backcourt.
Spartans coach Tom Izzo just smiled, knowing there wasn't anything he could do.
After the timeout, Nelson hit a 3-pointer to push the lead to 16, which turned out to be too much for Michigan State to overcome.
Although the Gators are probably reluctant to admit it, this victory had to feel especially good considering the way the Spartans pushed them around the last two times they played.
Izzo still has the bigger team, but these players are nowhere as experienced.
Gone from the team that reached its third straight Final Four last season are Andre Hutson, Jason Richardson and Zach Randolph, along with four others.
The Gators, meanwhile, have lost outside shooter Teddy Dupay — he of the famed tangled-leg incident that briefly knocked Mateen Cleaves from the title game — but still have Bonner, Haslem, Nelson and Justin Hamilton, who were all among the core of their Final Four team.
Indiana football coach fired despite late wins
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Even a strong finish couldn't save Cameron's job.
The Associated Press
Cameron, 18-37 in his five years at Indiana, was fired yesterday as football coach even though the Hoosiers won four of their last five games.
"Five years is an important time to demonstrate success on the field and in the classroom," athletics director Michael McNeely said. "We expect to be successful on the field and in the class room.
"There is not compelling evidence that the current direction of the football program will yield a higher level of competitive success."
Quarterback Antwaan Randle El described a meeting Cameron had with the team.
"He was emotional, teary-eyed. He was hurting." Randle El said. "This is his love, and he's leaving a lot of players behind."
McNeely said he made his decision Tuesday night, slept on it and then made his recommendation to university president Myles Brand.
"I accept our athletic director's assessment that the team's on-field performance has been disappointing during Cam's tenure." Brand said in a statement.
Cameron's best season was his last, when he went 5-6.
McNeely will head the search committee for a new coach. He said finding the right candidate could take up to one month.
Crouch goes from backup to Heisman Trophy finalist
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — Just two-and-a half years ago, Eric Crouch was thinking about quitting football. Good thing for Nebraska he didn't.
The senior quarterback has gone from being a disgruntled backup in the opening of the 1999 season to Nebraska's first Heisman Trophy finalist in six years.
"It was definitely the best decision," Crouch said. "I've been put in a position to do a lot of things that a normal person doesn't get to do."
Crouch is one of four quarterbacks who are up for the award, which will be given Saturday in New York. The others are Ken Dorssey of Miami, Florida's Rex Grossman and Joey Harrington of Oregon.
With the speed of a wide receiver and the agility and moves of the most slippery of backs, Crouch has established himself the last three seasons as a prototypical option quarterback.
Crouch's 7,915 yards of total offense during his college career are a school record, and his 59 rushing touchdownsare
the most by a Division I-A quarterback
This season he has rushed for 1,115 yards and passed for 1,510 more.
In eight games as a freshman, five of them starts, Crouch was thrown into the offense because starting quarterback Bobby Newcombe was injured. After some heated competition in August, Nebraska coach Frank Solich gave the job to Newcombe, frustrating Crouch to the point he drove home to Omaha to gather his thoughts.
The passing numbers aren't stellar, but combined with his running ability, Crouch is one of the biggest offensive threats in the game. After speaking with Solich, who drove to Omaha to assure Crouch he would still have a prominent role in the Cornhuskers' offense, Crouch decided to keep playing.
It might be one of Solich's best moves in four years as coach.
After Newcombe failed to get the offense moving as effectively as Crouch, Newcombe moved to wingback and Crouch took over at QB, where he has started every Nebraska game since.

Commentary
Michael Rigg Columnist sportsakansan.com
I am very grateful to you for your kindness. I will always be grateful to you.
Style change might help team win
Kansas football needs a vision.
New coach Mark Mangino truly believes that he can provide that vision. He doesn't know what changes he will make (or if he does, he's not telling), but he will put into place a plan that could turn the Jayhawks into winners. I'm not sure whether Mangino will succeed — only time will tell — but he will be coaching football at this school long after I've stopped writing columns (of course, that's not saying much. My last column will be next week).
I imagine Mangino already has a broad plan in place, but here are some small changes that the new coach should implement immediately:
1. Can The Uniforms. The lavyhawks' current duds are mid-90s rejects, right down to the raised numbers (a la the 1994 San Francisco 49ers), the hideous blue pants they wear on the road and the drab helmets.
Does anybody think these uniforms look good? Plus, there has been a lot of losing done in these threads the past couple of years, and a bold new uniform would signal a change in attitude.
2. Ditch the Track, Too. The track that circumnavigates the football field is as outdated as the uniforms.
Nearly every football program in America has booted the running oval out of their stadiums. Kansas could remove the track, lower the field, add a few rows of seats and actually have a nice football stadium.
The only problem is that the track was recently overhauled in 1999 for the Kansas Relays. But trust me, I've seen the fan support for the Kansas Relays (or lack thereof), and the day they need a 50,000-seat stadium will be the same day Keanu Reeves wins an Oscar for Best Actor.
3. Schedule As Many Night Games as Possible. Hey, we're all for television revenue and exposure, but scheduling early games doesn't do the fans a lot of good. Part of the attendance problem in the past — particularly with the students — was caused by bad scheduling.
The students have problems waking up on Saturdays much before 1 p.m., so scheduling any game before 2:30 means a very empty and/or hung-over student section.
4. Close the Practices. Way back in the Terry Allen days (Kleenex, please — I'm getting nostalgic already) Allen would let anybody watch practice. But no winning program lets people, including members of the media, walk off the streets and watch practice. Of course, this also goes along with my theory that winning percentage is directly proportionate to how big of a pain in the butt you are to the media.
It's true — if you're hacking us off, you are also probably winning I'm looking at you, Bill Snyder). Look it up.
Granted, these wouldn't be the most ground breaking changes for Kansas football. But they would be enough to show the world that Jayhawk football has a definite vision.

Bohl known for hiring aces
After success at Toledo and Fresno State, Bohl makes first Kansas hire
By Brent Briggeman Kansan sportswriter
When Al Bohl took the job of Kansas athletics director, he inherited a wounded program.
Last spring, Bob Frederick, former athletics director, eliminated the men's tennis and swimming and diving teams, citing financial limitations. The football team, which had suffered five consecutive losing seasons and struggled to bring in fans and money, was singled out as the problem.
The football program struggles undoubtedly played a role in Bohl's hiring, given his successful track record with the sport at Toledo and Fresno State.
Bohl addressed the problem on Nov. 4 when he fired football coach Terry Allen during his fifth straight losing season. On
Tuesday, he made his best effort to rectify the problem when he announced the hiring of Oklahoma offensive coordinator Mark Mangino, a hire Bohl said was among the most important of his career.
PETER B. MEYER
"This is a big hire, yes," Bohl said. "That's why I spent time on it and didn't veer from it. I wanted to find the right person for Kansas so I could tell all of you, our alumni, everybody, that this was a guy I want to go to war with."

Saban is now the coach at Louisiana State and Pinkel is at Missouri.
Bohl brought Pat Hill to Fresno State. Hill is now regarded as one of the hottest
coaches in the country after the Bulldogs broke into the Top 10 this year at one point and are still in the Top 25.

Bohl
Three of the finalists for jobs under Bohl have included Brian Billick, the Super Bowl-winning coach of the Baltimore Ravens; Mike Riley, coach of the San Diego Chargers and Joe Tiller, who
has turned Purdue into one of the top teams in the Big Ten Conference.
"Your background of hiring coaches is known nationwide," Mangino told Bohl during Tuesday's press conference."I'm flattered that you would consider me to be the head coach at the University of Kansas."
Bohl ensured Mangino that he would have top-down support from the administration as he built his program. Mangino's compensation package could exceed $1 million with incentives, and he will have another million dollars to spread among his nine assistant coaches.
"We've been at the bottom of the Big 12, but we're not going to stay there anymore." Bohl said. "I'm putting in the incentives to help motivate someone to get us where we want to go."

Boschee backs up leadership on the court
By Ryan Malashock Kansan sportswriter
his hushed voice. Boschee's bashful, yet confident, play on the court this season has mimicked his post-game demeanor. One of two contributing seniors on the Kansas men's basketball team, Boschee has reluctantly grasped the role of team leader. But Boschee's leadership is not of the typical variety. The 6-foot-1 guard's hustle, defense and three-point shooting speaks louder than his verbal leadership.
Jeff Boschee calmly and quietly spoke to reporters following Kansas' defeat of Wake Forest Tuesday night. Members of the media snugged up close to the Valley City, N.D., native, just hoping that their tape recorders would catch a whimper of his hushed voice.
Boschee said his leadership was exemplified through his on-court presence.
"I've gotten more vocal in practice this year, but my play in games speaks for itself," Boschee said. "I just trv to go out every game and play as hard as I can."
His teammates, especially this year's freshmen, have quickly caught on to his act.
"Sitting on the sidelines, you learn from watching him," freshman Keith Langford said. "He's just a senior leader, and the freshman guards look up to him."
A career 38-percent shooter from three-point range, Bosche has continued his long-range success this year by making 46.2 percent of his early-season three-pointers. He is averaging 12 points per game but, more importantly, has earned the reputation of hitting shots at important stages in games.
Boschee needs 15 more from behind the arc to jump former Jayhawk Billy Thomas for the all-time record in three-pointers. He said the key to knocking down outside shots was staying within the flow of the game.

"I've just been letting the game come to me," Bosche said. "I don't get rushed or excited, I just let the shots come to me, and they've been falling."

"He's won the overall defensive player of the year award for our team before so I think that's a part of his game that nobody thinks about." Williams said. Contact Malashock at 864-4858
Women's team flounders after strong first half

The Kansas women's basketball team played some of its best basketball of the season in the first half last night against Arizona State. After the break, though, the Jayhawks (3-5) ran into serious foul trouble and dropped the game 73-52.
After a backdoor cut on Kansas' first possession, Kansas senior KC Hilgenkamp nailed a 17-foot three-pointer, ending an impressive first half with 12 points on 6-of-8 shooting. That was all Hilgenkamp would contribute as she lost her shooting touch after halftime
and spent time on the bench in foul trouble. The Sun Devils (7-2) rallied in the second half after leading 35-33 at halftime.
Arizona State guard Amanda Levens led the Sun Devils with 28 points, hitting 6 of 9 three-pointers.
"So many things broke down," said Kansas coach Marian Washington. "Once we had to put KC on the bench, we just couldn't seem to find a way to score."

"We work on them and it's just a matter of everybody taking their time, stepping up and knocking them down," Washington said.
Freshman Blair Waltz took control of the offense in the second half as Hilgenkamp sat out. Waltz hit a fadeaway with 9:30 left in the second. She finished with 13 points and tied her career high, set on Saturday against Oregon.
Waltz said she was stowty gaining confidence.

Reporters have been bugging Tina Lee since she opened her Lawrence Metaphysical Shop last year.
"I don't understand why everyone is so interested in me and my business," she said.
But reporters—and the general public—are interested because Lee's shop, with its new location at 1610 W.23rd St., does not provide the services of a typical business.
Lawrence Metaphysical Shop, 1610 W.23rd St., offers palm, psychic and tarot readings. Tina Lee, owner, said, "Lawrence is a very spiritual place."
Lee offers palm, psychic and tarot card readings for $25, $35 and $45, respectively.
Lee says that she has acquired many return customers since she moved here about a year ago from California.
"Lawrence is a very spiritual area," she said. "I think that's why so many people here are looking for direction and answer."
But although this type of business may be thriving, the situation hasn't always been so easy.

ordinance in place that prohibited fortune tellers and palm readers in Lawrence, but the ordinance had not been strictly enforced by the legal services department. She said the ordinance was an older one, but she was not sure how long it had been in place.
Wheeler said that after an intern in her department examined U.S. Supreme Court cases dealing with fortune tellers, they realized it would be impossible to enforce the ordinance legally.
"Fortune tellers have a First Amendment right to speak and prohibiting that in other districts has been found to be unconstitutional," Wheeler said.
The Lawrence City Commission then decided to remove the ordinance, she said.
Lee said that despite the presence of the ordinance, she never had any legal problems with the city when the ordinance was in place.
Lee's shop was located on Massachusetts Street until two months ago, and she said she relocated to
West 23rd Street because her landlord wanted to expand an optometry clinic in that area, she said.
Another business, Lunaria Holistic Health Center, 1103 Massachusetts St., provided psychic readings until recently, but according to a secretary at Lunaria, the center no longer offers them because its only psychic is moving to Arizona. The secretary did not give a reason for the move.
There are few regulations that govern psychics in Lawrence.
Diane Trybom, deputy city clerk,
said although some states required
all businesses to be licensed.
Kansas has only a certain list of
businesses that require a license.
Psychics are not included on the
list, Trybom said, and as long as
the business is zoned properly,
then it is allowed to be there.
"Zones are based on traffic generating capacity and how many people are going to be visiting the site," Brian Pedrotti, Lawrence/Douglas County planner, said.
Pedrotti said psychics were

included in group 12 — businesses labeled as "personal services." Other businesses in this group include barbers, beauty shops and altering shops.
Pedrotti said the entire north side of W.23rd, where Lee's business is located, allows for group 12 businesses.
But this code is difficult to enforce, similar to the original ordinance, Patrick said.
Patrick said there was a current city code in Lawrence, code 14-601, that specifically protected individuals from "cheat or fraud." The code states: "No person shall use or practice any game, device, or deceit, or assist the same to be done, for the purpose of cheating, defrauding, or obtaining money or other valuable things from any other person unlawfully."
"Unless someone comes forward saying they were a victim of fraud, there is really no way for us to regulate that," he said.
Andrew Koebbe, St. Louis sophomore, said the issue of fraud was an important one because he did not see psychic centers as legitimate businesses.
"I really believe that psychics are manipulative in the sense that they are so vague," he said. "They are vague because the advice they give would apply to almost anvone."
Koebbe said the danger with psychics was that people who go to
see them probably already believe that the psychic is legitimate, or they wouldn't waste their time and money to see one.
"Then when they hear something that sort of relates to them, they jump to the conclusion that it is real," he said. "The person may not see the psychic as being strictly for entertainment."
"I believe in the truth of the Bible, which quite clearly speaks out against things like witchcraft or fortune-telling," he said. "The strange thing is, the Bible does not deny the existence of these things, but it says that these powers do not come from God."
safety for him. Koebbe said he's a devout Christian, and that his beliefs affected the way he viewed the psychic world.
Ley says religion dictates her line of work in more ways than people would think.
"Everyone has the right to practice their religion," she said. "That's what I do; I practice my religion."
Lee said she does not understand why people would see anything wrong with what she does for a living. She said she has been a psychic for 17 years and she has had many satisfied clients that repeatedly return for readings.
"I'm here to help people." she said. "Not to hurt people."

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Dec. 6).
Somebody who's nagging you may be one of your guardian angels in disguise. This person might be telling you to go back to school, and maybe even pointing out every little mistake you make, calling it "coaching." Try not to hate (or run away from) this person. Heed the advice, then sprout wings of your own.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is an 8.
Don't trust a friend's advice over your own hunch. The other person can't see as objectively as you can. This is odd, because you're usually the passionate one. No time to wonder why. Act!
Taurus (April 20-May 20).
Today is a 6.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is an 8.
Concerns may have you bogged down, but don't despair. Finish what you're working on, even if it's not much fun. Getting your house in order will free you up for what's coming next.
Others may be doing all the work, but you're the one with the vision, so don't let a strong leader overpower you. Make sure your opinion is heard. Cancer (June 22-July 22).
Today is a 5.
Financial affairs dominate your agenda for most of the day, and that's how it should be. Sure, there's other work that needs to be done, but some of it can wait. First things first.
**12/09-July 23-Aug. 22)**
Today is a 7.
Stand up for your point of view, and look out for your own hide. You're a team player, of course, but you want to make sure the team is headed in the right direction. Don't assume your teammates know which way to go.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22). Today is a 5.0. You have an important decision coming soon. There's pressure on you to go one way, but don't let the pressure force you into a bad decision. Even if it will require a change, tell the truth as you see it.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 9.
Again, you're the one who keeps a cool head. You're the best choice to be the brains of the operation. Others are too deeply involved to be objective, and that's why they can't think quickly. Don't let them down. Take charge!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21).
Today is a 5.
You might be able to increase your income now through careful negotiations. Don't offer to do more work. Instead, get more for whatever you're selling. You're good at this. (D-21)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 2
Today is a 9
图
You're in a Jedi knight, deflecting every enemy blow, bounding out of reach, popping up when least expected. You're too quick for anyone to catch, mentally or physically. Go for the goal! Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Today is
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Todays on 8
You're about to come out of hiding, but there's no hurry. Take as much time as you need. We're relying partly on your experience, partly on your instinct. Your guardian angel is a big help, too. Listen.
If you express yourself boldly, you might irritate somebody. It also possible that if you act in an unexpected way, others will get annoyed. But that may be necessary to make an important point. Humor helps.
Pisces(Feb.19-March 20)
Today is a 5
There's too much confusion at home. You'd almost rather be at work, but there no telling what'll happen there, either. Just when you get into a routine, the customer wants something else. Stay loose.

Vespers concert ushers in holidays
M
By Donovan Atkinson Jayplay writer
A long time University of Kansas tradition, the 77th annual Holiday Vespers promises audiences an ectolic evening of holiday music. The Sunday, Dec. 9, Lied Center concert will feature traditional Christmas carols, Hanukkah songs and a mixture of multi-cultural holiday tunes.
"We've gotten away from a solely Euro-centric vision of the holidays," said James Daugherty, interim director of choral activities.
Vespers, originally a Catholic lateafternoon or evening mass, has turned into a combined performance offive of the University's seven choirs and the University orchestra. There will be more than 300 students performing, with Daugherty coordinating and conducting the choirs while Brian Priestman will be conducting the approximately 100-member orchestra.
orchestra
Priestman, professor of music and dance, has been involved with Holiday Vespers at the University for 10 years. With his retirement this spring, Priestman will conduct his final Vespers.
pers.
"It's sad to see him go," said Tom Reid, Lenexa sophomore and member of the Men's Glee Club. "He's experienced so much. He's such an asset to the department and will be hard to replace."
Students will not be the only people performing. New music and dance department faculty member Pamela Hinchman, associate professor of voice, will be performing a solo in the French carol "Quelle est cette Odeur." Additionally, four students will be conducting pieces during the performance.
"I'm pleased that four of our doctoral students are conducting songs," Daugherty said.
Conducting will be: Steven McDonald and Alison Gaines, students in the doctor of musical arts program in orchestral conducting; Gary Weidenaar, student in the doctor of musical arts program in choral conducting; and Christopher Gilliam, student in the master's program in choral conducting and in the doctor of musical arts program in
vocal performance.
The choir and orchestra have had less than a month to prepare. Work on the annual holiday event began the week before Thanksgiving when some of the choirs began rehearsing.
The first full rehearsal combining all of the choirs and the orchestra will be held tomorrow at the Lied Center, with a second full rehearsal on Saturday.
the performance will be broadcast by KANU, Lawrence's public
radio station. The radio station will record the concert and broadcast it during the holiday season.
during Holiday Vespers will be performed at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Sunday at the Lied Center.
Admission is $10 and the afternoon performance has already been sold out, but at press time, seats were still available for the evening performance.

DAFT PUNK RELEASES LIVE M
By Carlos Centeno Jayplay writer
Daft Punk Alive 1997 is the new release from the French megaduo.
After taking the world by surprise with its accelerating funky single "Around the World" from its 1997 debut Homework, Daft Punk started playing live around Europe.
In those live gigs, the Birmingham, England, concert went on to become "the recorded one."
Four years later, these Europeans, dressed in robot suits and purple digitized lights, released what became the electronic anthem of the year "One More Time," featured in their 2001 Discovery chart-buster success.
With this live album released in November of 2001, Daft Punk demonstrates with fierce cleverness that its music is not merely the work of producers, but one very thoughtful process of "sampladelia," a name given in the 1990s to the art of mixing samples.
The album contains only one track and is 45 minutes long.
Non-stop sounds percolate through the amplifiers as crunchy reverberating samples are prolonged in an almost mutant wave that morphs into masterful tracks filled with dance, disco,
house and breakbeats.
Classics such as "Revolution 909" and "Da funk" are clearly visible in the horizon but tracks like "Rock'n' Roll" and "Alive" only whet your senses with minimal drops of groove, just enough to "pump up the jam."
It is a live masterpiece worthy of praise from the electronic dance community — the only problem it presents is the length.
The 45 minutes that the guys recorded seem like 30, but then again, that's because the mixes are so varied that you never get tired of listening.
It is so well constructed that at times you will even be waiting to hear what one sound will morph into.
Disappointment is not an option and your ears will be plugged until the end.
And now for a little bonus: Be sure to check out Paul Van Dyck Politics of dancing (Dance) a reminiscent drive Ambrosia (Down tempo lounge), Bent Programmed to Love. (new wave electronica — sounds similar to Air) and DJ Selway Edge of Now (Dance).

Police chief gets razzed about fender bender
EAU CLAIRE, Wis. — The Eau Claire police chief has been getting some teasing from fellow officers for his recent run-in with the law.
Chief Pat McNally was given an inattentive driving ticket after his unmarked squad car hit a parked minivan, an accident report said. He was fired $138.60.
"It reinforced for me what I already knew, that even a momentary distraction while driving is dangerous," McNally said.

Neither Mom nor society should stop her
By Meghan Bainum Sex Columnist
When I was a little girl, I discovered my dad's Playboys. I read them, too. Cover to cover. Once, I got caught by my mom. I remember feeling confused about why she didn't want me to read the magazines.
In my young mind it made sense. I had everything (physically) the women in the magazines had. And someday, I knew I would be older, and I would look more like those women. I remember looking at my girlish body, wondering how in the world it would feel to be a "woman."
Commentary
Now, here I am, equipped just like those models 1 stared at years ago — but on a slightly smaller scale.
but on a slightly smaller scale.
But, in a way, the physical part is only one part of a woman, and, in fact, not the part I think my mom was worried about when she took the Playboy away from me.
Yes, women have breasts, women have vaginas—these things don't usually disappear for no reason. But not many women bare these "private" parts to the world.
Meghan Beinum
Columnist
opinionkanan.com
Not many women like to be seen with desire in their eyes. Not many
women are comfortable to even look like they desire to be sexual—and while lidded eyes, wet lips and flushed cheeks are bad enough, the open lust (and open legs) of the women in Playboy take desire to another level.
boy take care to meet me.
I might have gotten physically aroused by Playboy a time or two, and that was always nice. But what the real gift Playboy gave me — what I found tucked among the breasts, interviews, informative articles and hilarious jokes — was an appreciation for my sexuality and, especially as I grow older, an openness to my own curiosities and pleasures as well as those of my lovers.
It also gave me a willingness to talk and write honestly and openly about sex. But, it wasn't until I had this sex column and dealt with all the crap that inevitably surrounds anything
remotely controversial that I finally figured out the lesson my mother was trying to teach me when she tried, in vain, to keep me away from my dad's magazines.
magazines.
She wasn't worried about the boobs and vaginas I would see or the sexually-charged words I would read. I don't even think she was worried that I would think about posing for the magazine or become a "slut."
My mom worried that the path I was choosing was not the easy one. She was right. I might not spread my legs for Playboy (more because of an aversion to waxing than anything else), but I do spread my views on sexuality. I encourage women and men to enjoy sex, enjoy pleasuring themselves and others, enjoy that natural thrill that comes with sexual attraction.
And although many here at the University of Kansas appreciate those views, others don't. I expected this. I expected criticism. I expected a fight. What I did not expect, however, was that it is still - in almost 2002 - difficult for a woman to spread her views
especially sex-positive ones.
I have realized that I share more than the sexual maturity, two breasts
and one vagina with the women posing nude, open and sexual in Playboy's glossy pages. I share the realization that, no matter how beautiful the pictures, how amazing the person or how purely truthful the writing, any woman who asserts herself sexually must also be willing to endure the scorn and insults that come with challenging the values of any society even those that are unequal, uneducated or hopelessly out-of-date. And, like the Playboy model, I often face the scrutiny of our society alone, publicly and with my beliefs naked to the stinging, painful comments of others.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 3B
I know now that — even at KU — the voices in favor of sexual repression, while not more plenitiful in number, are defiantly louder than those in favor of a healthy, positive view of sexuality.
dainty.
Dare to enjoy sex and admit it. Most people do, we're all just frozen in a moment of silence, caught forever like centerfolds in an upight, morally righteous world. Stand up, let your voice be heard. Yell. Shake off the weight of society and feel how good it is to be naked.

Local band to shake it up at Abe & Jake's
By Mandalee Meisner
jayplay writer
Jayplay writer
Dain Estes calls himself a starving artist.
"But I can feed my dog, and I can feed myself," he said, "so it's okay."
the frontman of local band Shaking Tree said his journey from a "bright-eyed" hopeful to a more experienced — but still hopeful — musician has been a tough one.
Shaking Tree's first studio album, Matter of Change, was released in May 2000 on Knot Known Records. It's the band's third album after two independent releases: the self-titled debut in 1997 and Sounds of Rain in 1998.
Although Matter of Change was well received by the public and produced by John Hampton — who has worked with Sister Hazel, the Gin
Blossoms and Stevie Ray Vaughn, among others — commercial radio play has been limited.
we really thought this last album was really good. We believed in the album, but soon realized that the way everything works is kind of bogus." Estes said.
"You want to believe that when you listen to radio and hear something, it's on there because a lot of people want to hear it," he said. "But in truth, it's about the money."
This "wake-up call" for Estes has led the band to focus more on developing a strong fan base and selling music at its live shows. The band has been touring steadily since 1997, playing a mix of alternative and world music across the Midwest and western United States.
Shaking Tree will play for its hometown fans to "celebrate the end of another semester at KU" Saturday at Abe & Bake's Landing, 8 E. 6th St., with local band The Draft opening. Tickets are $5 at the door, with doors opening at 9 p.m.
Band members include Estes, vocals and guitar; Aaron Hetherington, drums and percussion; Tom Waddington, violin and mandolin; and newly-added Derek Swensen, bass.
Estes said he hopes to reach a few new ears with the change in venue. Shaking Tree has played at the Jazzhaus, the Bottleneck and Granada, but this is its first time playing at Abe and Jake's Landing.
The band's manager, Josh Degenstein, said that in addition to reaching a different audience, the change may alleviate some problems fans have had
"They've (the band) had complaints from fans that have stood outside the door, in the cold, trying to get into the Jazzhaus," Degenstein said. "Abe and Jake's is a lot larger than the Jazzhaus — and it's new — so we wanted to try it out."
in the past.
A single from Matter of Change, "Memory of Me," will be featured on the soundtrack of upcoming film Now You Know. The film is written and directed by Jeff Anderson, better known for his roles in Clerks and Dogma.
Despite the switch this time, Estes stressed that the band still planned on performing at the Jazzhaus on later homecomings.

Oysterhead's album offers different kind of sound
By Patrick Cady Jayplay writer
Oysterhead's debut album, The Grand Pecking Order, is a journey in the avant garde.
The album's experimental sound is a constantly changing mixture of Les Claypool's intricate bass lines, Trey Anastasia's improvising guitar work and the steady rhythms of Stewart Copeland.
The album opens with "Little Faces," a song that begins slightly ambient, but progresses into a loud, almost carnival-like melody. The lyrics describe watching 100 little people dancing on the bedroom floor.
ing on the bedroom floor. The following song, "OZ is Ever Floating," tells a story about the final moments of a person named Dr. John C. Lily. The song has a colorful vocal harmony and a dynamic backing melody.
moby. Anastasio employs polished blues licks in the ballad "Mr. Oysterhead" and a sweet melody in the acoustic "Radon Balloon."
Lets a same tale.
The strongest tracks on the album blend the offbeat poetry of Claypool and Anastasio with music that contains its own inherent energy. Prime examples are "Oz is Ever Floating" and the lavered "Birthday Boy."
The lyrics, though largely surreal, also seem political. "Shadow of a Man" describes the memories of a Vietnam War veteran. The Claypool-ian song. "The Army's on Ecstasy," also offers a satirical viewpoint.
Fans of Claypool's and Anastasio's past work would enjoy this album, and those who enjoy musical and lyrical experimentation would also like it. Overall, this collection of songs is a pearl in the Oysterhead.

NEW YORK — The History Channel, the cable network that has built a solid business living in the past, is producing its first live programming ever tomorrow to mark the 60th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack.

True Story of Pearl Harbor," was among the year's highest-rated programs and it will be repeated tomorrow evening.
The first live production is a technical challenge for the 20 staff members involved.
The only other live event the network has shown before was John F. Kennedy Jr.'s funeral, but The History Channel took someone else's coverage from a satellite feed.
The job is made more difficult
since the memorial is taking place in the middle of a harbor; The History Channel's microwave transmitter is expected to briefly go out of service when a ship passes in front of it.
The History Channel knew before Sept. 11 that it wanted to go live on this day, but plans were expanded after the terrorist attacks. Raven said.
"I think Pearl Harbor resounds with a stronger connotation than it did before, especially for a
young generation for whom it felt like their grandfather's war," she said.
The History Channel is trying to get as many Pearl Harbor survivors on tape while it still can.
"These survivors, as their numbers grow smaller, won't be here much longer," Raven said. "They are witnesses to history and I feel we have a real responsibility to archive their memories."

Disney, creations celebrated
The Associated Press
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. Inspired by the movie *Fantasia*, jeweler Harry Winston made a $2 million Sorcerer's Hat of satin, velvet, silk, gold and a 20-carat diamond for the occasion. The celebration honored Walt Disney on what would have been his 100th birthday yesterday.
Walt Disney, who, with his brother Roy, created an entertainment empire built on cultural icons such as Mickey Mouse, was honored in spirit at a theme park bearing his name. The great entertainer died in 1966.
His nephew, Roy E. Disney, was on hand at Walt Disney World to remind everyone that Walt Disney was not just a corporate name.
"There's a tendency to mythologize things in the past and of course there is a tendency for people to say 'Oh well, Walt Disney is just the name of a company.' We'll just keep insisting that he was a
real man and he really did all this stuff attributed to him and he had his foibles too." Roy Disney said in an interview, adding:
"Walt always said: 'This whole thing started with a mouse.'"
Through animation, movies television shows, merchandising and theme parks. Walt Disney turned the "mouse" into the world's second-biggest media company with an annual revenue of $25 billion and a worldwide influence.
"Everyone smiles in the same language," said Mayas Kano, a 38-year-old housewife from Japan who came to the 100 Years of Magic celebration.
But smiles at the Walt Disney Co. have been few and far between in recent months. Reliant on theme park attendance and advertising revenue from its ABC network, the company's profits dropped 68 percent to $53 million in the fourth quarter.
Corporate profits, though,
weren't on the minds of most of
the visitors.
Roger Yamashita, a 40-year-old aerospace engineer from Anaheim, Calif., looked for someone to trade Disney pins with him. He has more than 2,000 pins at home, and he brought several dozen from his collection.
"I think Disney is something that has pulled the world together," Yamashita said.
It's almost impossible to grow up without being bombarded by Disney on television, on T-shirts, in movies and in advertisements, said Steve Stanley, who was visiting Walt Disney World from England with his wife, Michelle, and 7-year-old daughter, Stephanie. They paid several thousand dollars for their 14-day trip in Orlando.
Stephanie jumped up and down and shouted "I saw Pinocchio" after getting the character's signature in her autograph book.
"A lot cheaper," said Steve Stanley.
What would life without Disney be like for the Stanley?

First clue that Behind Enemy Lines isn't a good movie! It stars Owen Wilson, an actor whose star power is as bright as a burnt-out light bulb.
Second clue that Behind Enemy Lines isn't a good movie: Did I mention Owen Wilson?
'Behind Enemy Lines' missing ingredients of great action flicks
Whoever decided to cast Wilson to star opposite screen legend Gene Hackman deserves to have the taste slapped out of his mouth. Wilson, an actor not worthy even to star in one of those cheesy local commercials, is the hero in Behind Enemy Lines. He's an Air Force pilot so cunning that he's able to take on an entire army of Bosnian Serbs all by himself.
But I'm getting ahead of myself.
*Behind Enemy Lines* gives us Wilson as Burnett, an American Naval pilot stationed on an aircraft carrier near Bosnia. It's during the Bosnian civil war and Burnett is part of NATO's effort to stop the fighting.
During a routine reconnaissance mission, Burnett and fellow pilot Stackhouse (Gabriel Macht) fly off course to investigate a peculiar radar sighting and stumble upon evidence that the Serbs have slaughtered hundreds of innocent civilians.
stop the righting.
It has been seven years since Burnett joined the service and he still hasn't seen any action. Feeling burnt out and bored, Burnett requests his discharge. Hackman plays the ship's commander, Admiral Reigant, who agrees to cooperate as long as Burnett agrees to stay on for two more weeks.

The Serbs quickly identify the American aircraft and shoot it down to avoid news of the mass slaughtering from getting out. Burnett and Stackhouse eject from the plane before it crashes, but the hostile Serbian army is in hot pursuit.
Commentary
Brandon Stinnett
Movie reviewer
jaylayakansan.com
The Serbs quickly capture and execute Stackhouse, while Burnett hides in the nearby woods.
Then comes one of the most laughable scenes in recent film history. The Serbs don't know that Burnett was on the plane. He could lay low and radio for help without risking capture. All he has to do is stay quiet.
Instead, after witnessing his friend's murder, Burnett screams out a loud, "Noooo0," which, of course, attracts the Serbs' attention, igniting a full-fledge manhunt.
This would result in certain death for most men, but Burnett is able to elude round after round of gunfire from hundreds of fast-chasing Serbian soldiers.
hissing Scream He spends the rest of the movie
locked in a deadly game of chess, trying desperately to avoid capture and make it to a safety zone so he can be rescued by American soldiers. Blah, blah, Yawn, Yawn.
Burnett's rescue is complicated by NATO leaders' reluctance to send more soldiers into Bosnia out of fear that it would cause the fighting to escalate.
It's difficult to ever really get into Behind Enemy Lines. Aside from some nifty camera work and a couple of decent action sequences, it's a dull movie that rarely achieves even a slight level of suspense.
The best action movies make you care about the characters. You root for their success and identify with their struggles. Remember Bruce Willis in Die Hard? Now that was an action hero, Owen Wilson is a wannabe, a goofball who doesn't have one heroic bone in his body.

Great movie of the week: Batman. Michael Keaton dons the bat suit in Tim Burton's 1989 film, the first and best in the recent Batman series. Burton introduces a more serious tone for the caped-crusader and Keaton portrays the most believable Bruce Wayne/Batman character to date. Kim Basinger as sexy photojournalist Vicky Vale is the series' most enticing love interest. But the real scene-s stealer, of course, is Jack Nicholson As The Joker. After Batman, this series went straight to hell.
Joker. After Batman, this series
Bad movie of the week: All the other Batman films. Batman Returns took even a darker tone than its infinitely superior predecessor. That in itself is not a bad thing, but *Returns* fails miserably to match the first film's sense of adventure. Val Kilmer took over as Batman in the uninspired *Batman Forever*, which adopted a much lighter tone for the series. And George Clooney replaced Kilmer in 1999's *Batman and Robin*, easily the weakest of the four, an utter disaster that tramples on the legacy of Burton's original creation.

Kansas State freshman's body found in lake
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN — Authorities found the body of one Kansas State University freshman in Tuttle Creek Lake yesterday, and two others were thought to have died in a boating accident on the northeast Kansas reservoir.
A search for the three, who had taken a sailboat out Tuesday afternoon, began about 5 a.m. yesterday on the southern shoreline and was suspended about 12 hours later as night fell.
The body of Timothy Bennett, 19, of Kansas City, Mo., was recovered with a life jacket about 9:15 a.m. in Carnahan Cove, about one-half mile from where the capsized boat was found a short time earlier, authorities said.
Kansas State officials identified the other two as Kyle Chapman, 17, and Christopher Shipley, 18, both of Olathe.
Brian McNulty, operations manager of the 12,000-acre lake, said the search would resume about 8 a.m. today but in recovery rather than rescue mode, with four boats on the water and officers on horseback along the shore.
McNulty said the other two students were thought to have died.
"Based upon the fact that we haven't found them on the shoreline, we presume they are under water," he said.
"We've talked to the families and told them that in all likelihood they didn't make it," he added.
Chapman's yellow, 15 1/2-foot racing sailboat was spotted about 9 a.m. yesterday by a Kansas Highway Patrol helicopter. The keel and rudder were found detached from the main portion of the boat in separate areas of the cove, officials said.
The search included 50 rescue workers, six boats and two helicopters. Officials began searching Wednesday afternoon, with the highway patrol searching the lake with an infrared-equipped helicopter.
The students had not been seen since they took the sailboat out Tuesday afternoon. Their empty boat trailer was found at the Blue Valley Yacht Club, and their shoes were found on the dock, said Steve French of the Riley County Police Department.
Chapman is an experienced sailor, the school said in a statement. Bennett is majoring in environmental design, Shipley in animal sciences.
Boaters have been enticed to area lakes in recent days because of unseasonably mild temperatures and wind providing ideal conditions for sailing. Temperatures at the lake approached 70 degrees amid high winds on Tuesday.
Determining faculty salaries
Job market and merit factors in deciding pay for staff
By Paul Smith Kansan staff writer
Not even Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle could entice Janet Murguia to give up her commitment to the University and to her alma mater.
Murguia, executive vice chancellor for University Relations, said she recently turned down an invitation from the South Dakota senator to serve on the Federal Communications Commission.
"I'm passionate about promoting higher education," Murguia said. "It's very important to me."
Six-figure salaries are typical for administrators such as Murguia for the University of Kansas to stay competitive with peer institutions. But officials said compensation reflected the low-pay rates for employees University-wide.
Hemenway said that most KU administrators earned 15 to 20 percent less than administrators at other Big 12 schools Faculty and staff follow that trend o lower salaries than peer institutions.
"Our administrative salaries show the same thing as our faculty and staff salaries," said Chancellor Robert Hemenway. "We are well behind our peers."
While Hemenway said he was interested in raising all University salaries to match those offered at other schools, administrative salaries were a particular concern when attempting to hire new administrators or
when an administrator left for better pay elsewhere — a periodic occurrence.

postroom more than 40,000. For example, Bill Fuerst, dean of business, receives money from a distinguished professorship, while Heenway directs $85,000 of his discretionary endowment funds to augment Murgia's salary.
John Scarfe, communication director for the endowment, said most funds like professorships were set up specifically by donors to help the University reach the rank as a top university.
"The objective is to continue to increase the quality of faculty and administrators at the University of Kansas," Scarffe said.
History comes to life through journal
Contact Smith at 864-4810
By Jen Denton Kansan staff writer
Dear Lloyd,
Because you are much too young to understand the terrible tragedy which has befallen today, I hope to keep this diary for you...
Hours after Japanese air strikers bombed Pearl Harbor 60 years ago
today, shaking a world and triggering America's involvement in World War II, Edna Sponholtz opened up a black journal, clutched a black pen and wrote a letter to her 5-year-old son, Lloyd.
Lloyd, now a 65-year-old associate history professor at the University of Kansas, did not remember his mother sitting down in their Chicago home to write the letter that Sunday afternoon. While
his mind was muddled from
the exact events of Dec. 7,1941 he rec-
collected just bits and pieces of one of America's most historical days.
Unlike Sept. 11, where Sponholtz could vividly account each detail from what he was doing to whom he was with, Pearl Harbor clouded his memory.
Pearl Harbor clouded
He said he was too young to understand how America had been bitten with surprise and neared its second world war. The morning, afternoon and evening of that Sunday were all foggy for Sponholtz. He did not remember what he heard. He did not remember what he felt.
Sunday, Dec. 7, 1941.
Dear Diary:
Today will long be remembered by all the people of America is one of attentive states by a pride and good nation. Japanese has attacked the port of Japan with several ships and bombarded it with People's Republic and Homeland Security of People's Republic and Japanese not adequately disposable and defeated. There was an attack which was beyond our ability to have safely overcome. Government from the state will help and provide to save the peace of other nations.
"It was extraordinarily unusual." Sponholtz said, as he thumped through the sheets of murky white loose-leaf paper. "It's an expression that I don't remember seeing before. Stern. Serious."
Sponholtz paused. The silence lasted for a few seconds. He looked up.
"I really can't find the right adjective."
I really can't find the right objector. Edna Sponholtz wrote three more diary entries that December. They continued sporadically through 1942. The writings helped her cope with the war, Lloyd said, but they were also a teaching tool for her youngest child. She reflected on certain battles and sympathized with those who lost their lives.
Her words were not always positive. On Feb. 16, 1942, she was befuddled by how poorly prepared the U.S. government was compared to other world powers. She wrote about every American defeat. She wrote about pain, tragedy
She wrote for her son.
and heartbreak. She wrote about war
"She was not a diary writer," Lloyd said of his mother, who never went to college. "So this is really exceptional."
When you are old enough to study history in school, it will help you to understand our reaction to the historical events happening each day and how these events may shape our way of life in the future.
There was a room in William Tuttle's childhood home his family called 'the library.'
Books became a big part of his life, and history pierced far into his brain. By the end of his sophomore year in college, he told one of his fraternity brothers that he was going to be a historian.

December graduates get little fanfare
By Jeremy Clarkson Kansan staff writer
Jason Barricklow will receive his chemistry degree this month and will not have a ceremony to celebrate his work.
Only business, engineering, law and journalism schools will have formal ceremonies for their December graduates. Graduates in other departments must wait until May for a formal ceremony because the number of graduates is too small for a ceremony.
dates is too small. Because the School of Business will have about 200 December graduates, students are allowed to invite only two guests to the ceremony, which disappoints T. J. Lervik, Mulvane senior.
"Who has two people in your family you can bring?" Lervik asked.
The School of Journalism allots four guest tickets to each graduate and expects 86 graduates this semester. Lervik suggested that future December graduation ceremonies be moved
from Wooldruff Auditorium to the Lied Center so more people can attend.
However, some departments will wait to honor their December graduates until May. Paul Schumaker, professor and chairman of the political science department, said although some students may not go through the formal graduation ceremonies, the few who graduated in December usually wait until May. He said the department usually had between six and 12 December graduates.
Barricklow said because he knew he would graduate in December, he walked down the hill last May. Lervik said he would attend the ceremony for the School of Business but was unsure if he would walk down the hill again in the spring.
Although the ceremony may be important to some students, finding security in the job market appears to be top priority.
Barricklow, Newton senior, said he

KU Greens to serve coffee in observance of Fair Trade Day
The KU Green Party is having a coffee and cobbler day from 4 to 6 p.m. today at Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave.
Organization members will serve homemade cobbler and varieties of Fair Trade coffee in observance of National Fair Trade Day of Action, which is tomorrow.
Laura Adams, Topeka freshman and party member, said the organization was having the event to make students aware of the Fair Trade movement. She said the organization would also write letters to local coffee shops that do not carry Fair Trade coffee and urge them to sell the product.
Adams said Fair Trade coffee was purchased directly from farmer cooperatives, which guaranteed a living wage to farmers. Fair Trade coffee is sold at The Market on the third floor of the Kansas Union.

America refuses bargain for surrender by Taliban
The Associated Press
KABUL, Afghanistan — The Taliban agreed yesterday to surrender Kandabar, their last bastion and birthplace, if their warriors were not punished and safety was guaranteed to leader Mullah Mohammed Omar who once vowed to fight to the death. America said it would not accept any deal allowing the cleric to go free.
The promise to give up the city and begin handing over weapons as early as today marked the final collapse of the militant movement that imposed strict Islamic rule on Afghanistan for five years.
Aghanistan for five years Personal rivalries among anti-Taliban leaders and the fate of Omar still could wreck the fragile agreement. The head of the new Afghan transition government, Hamid Karzai, refused to say whether Omar would be arrested as Washington has demanded.
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said the United States would not stand for any agreement that lets the Taliban leader go free and "live in dignity."
Pakistani intelligence officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said radio intercepts had picked up no communications by Omar in three days and that he appeared to have lost contact with senior Taliban commanders.
"It itse that the final collapse of the Taliban is now upon us," said British Prime Minister Tony Blair, President Bush's closest ally

in the war. "That is a total vindication of the strategy that we have worked out from the beginning."
The murky surrender pact made no mention of Osama bin Laden, accused of masterminding the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and left unclear the fate of hundreds of Arabs, Pakistani, Chechens and other foreign fighters of his al-Qaida terrorist network.
In eastern Afghanistan, meanwhile, B-52s hammered suspected mountain hide-outs of bin Laden and his fighters. About 1,500 anti-Taliban forces have been attacking the region around the Tora Bora compound for two days.
In Washington, U.S. officials said al-Qaida fighters are thought to be operating from five to 10 cave complexes at Tora Bora in the White Mountains south of Jalalabad. Officials suspect bin Laden is in that area but also are on alert for his presence in the south around Kandahar.
Gunman opens fire on factory
The Associated Press
GOSHEN, Ind. — A man opened fire yesterday at the simulated-wood factory where he worked, killing a co-worker and wounding several others before committing suicide, authorities said.
State police officials said one person was slain inside Nu-Wood Decorative Millwork factory. A SWAT team later found the gunman with an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound.
"He was dead when they found him," said Sheriff's Capt. Ilie Dijkstra.
Authorities said five people were treated for gunshot wounds, but their conditions weren't immediately known.
Earlier, the mayor and hospital administrators said they feared 30 to 35 people had been shot.
Workers told authorities an automatic weapon was used, and some injuries appeared to be shotgun wounds.
The shooting jolted this northern Indiana community. An elementary school kept students inside, and Goshen College, a small school run by Mennonites, also told its students and faculty to stay indoors.
Police and SWAT teams surrounded the factory and cordoned off the area. Twelve nearby plants were evacuated, and at least a dozen ambulances lined up near the complex in an industrial park on the edge of town.
"The place is smothered in cops," said Chris Barouska, a parts manager at a neighboring Ingersoll-Rand factory. "Completely surrounded."
By late afternoon, people could be seen leaving the building with their hands on their heads, and rescue crews removed people on stretchers.
Goshen, a community of 29,000 people, is about 100 miles east of Chicago.

Columbine killer's journal prompts call for rehearing
DENVER — Relatives of those killed at Columbine High School want a judge to reconsider their dismissed lawsuits against school officials and authorities after the publication of journal entries by gunman Eric Harris, a lawyer for two families said yesterday.
The journal — written a year before the April 20, 1999, rampage — details how Harris and Dylan Klebold planned to set off hundreds of bombs around houses, roads, bridges and service stations. Its publication this week renewed speculation that authorities and school administrators could have done more to prevent the attack.
Lawyers representing eight families will file motions for another hearing as well as amended arguments before Tuesday, said lawyer Walter Gerash.
Cuban-Americans leave during Janet Reno visit
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Citing the Elian Gonzalez case, Cuban-American members of the Florida House walked out of the chamber yesterday after former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno was introduced as a visitor.
Reno, a Democratic candidate for governor, was watching from the visitors gallery as lawmakers worked in special session to cut the state budget.
It was not immediately clear how many Cuban-American lawmakers, all Republicans, left the chamber. Three Republicans who are not Cuban-Americans also walked out.
Affirmative-action dispute causes Michigan marches
CINCINNATI]—Hundreds of activists rallied yesterday outside a federal appeals court that is considering a potentially far-reaching affirmative action case from the University of Michigan.
The protesters from Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky gathered at Fountain Square, a half block from the 6th U.S. Circuit Court Court of Appeals.
Students marched in the rain in support of affirmative action.
The court was set to hear oral arguments in two lawsuits that allege Michigan's law school and undergraduate admissions policies unconstitutionally discriminate against whites in favor of less-qualified minorities. The case could ultimately go to the U.S. Supreme Court.
College president accused of skewing survey results
ST.PAUL, Minn. — When a college guidebook declared Macalester College students godless, the school president suggested students write to the publisher saying they "pray a lot or something" to avoid the ire of religious alumni.
But after president Michael McPherson's e-mail was circulated around campus, students complained he was trying to skew the survey's results and he apologized.
Robert Franek, the guide's author, said 308 of Macalester's 1,700 students were surveyed, and a "vast majority" strongly disagreed to the statement that Macalester students were very religious.
The Associated Press
Macalester ranked No. 1 in the category "students ignore God on a regular basis" in the Princeton Review's new edition of The Best 331 Colleges.

Diary: 1941 revisited with journal
Lloyd Sponholtz, associate professor of history, flips through his mother's diary with entries detailing the incidents of Pearl Harbor. Sponholtz has used the diary numerous times as part of a teaching tool for his classes.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
He came to Kansas in 1967 to teach history. He has taught at Harvard, Stanford, California-Berkley and Johns Hopkins. But his love for Lawrence always brought him back to the University. Today Tuttle is a professor of American Studies.
The first chapter of his 1993 book, *Daddy's Gone to War*, which centers on how children grappled with psychological problems during World War II is called "Pearl Harbor: Fears and Nightmares."
"After Pearl Harbor, there was an effort by the federal government not to send out a lot of gory images to the American homefront," Tuttle said from his Old West Lawrence home. "We only had a radio, so kids didn't know what to see."
When gathering information on Pearl Harbor for his book, Tuttle was mesmerized by the behavior of parents. They would plant stereotypes in the minds of youth — screaming out anti-Japanese comments and sabotaging their kids' favorite toys that were made in Japan.
But it was not just how the parents treated the children that interested Turtle; it was how they reacted themselves—how vulnerable they allowed themselves to become and how men removed the mask.
more intense. "Fathers cried when they heard the news," Tuttle said. "They may have seen mother cry, but they had never seen dad cry. Men realized the importance of this attack and realized that their lives would never be the same again."
One little girl wrote Tuttle and said that her birthday was on Dec. 7. She was looking forward to her birthday party that afternoon. She realized that something was wrong. When she asked her mother, she slapped her daughter across the face.

"That was a shock," Tuttle said. "She really didn't have a birthday that year."

Tuttle said he received 2,500

Sponholtz said he regretted not talking to his class on

Fraternity charter shows hard work
By Jeremy Clarkson Kansan staff writer
To the original members of the fraternity, the charter means so much more. It symbolizes the feeling of accomplishment of the hard work to establish a new fraternity on campus and to establish new traditions, they said.
When the 65 members of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity receive their charter this weekend, they will earn national recognition and voting rights in the Interfraternity Council.
The fraternity was established at the University of Kansas in February 2000, with 38 original members, including Josh Kroopf, vice-president of Pi Kappa Phi.
Kropf, Leawood junior, said recruiters from the national chapter came and recruited students, then they organized a retreat for the interested members. He said once the fraternity was established, the original members had to work hard on creating a constitution, mission statement and bylaws.
"We had to establish all of our tradi.
Since the fraternity began, the members have faced a number of difficulties and challenges. Jake Albers, president of Pi Kappa Phi, said he and fellow members entered the fraternity with no prior knowledge of what was ahead of them.
Albers, Lawrence junior, said organization and communication among the members proved difficult at times, and establishing themselves on a campus with a strong Greek system was a challenge.
"There are so many fraternities already with their roots so strongly grounded," he said.

"Most people come into traditions that have been set up for them, and we've established our traditions that will be held for years to come," he said.
Kropf said he liked the idea of creating traditions for his fraternity, which will be around for a long time, making this weekend's recognition exciting.

Drunken-driving display reaches out to students
By Luke Daley Kansan staff writer
Brian Carpenter was a freshman when he met Shyra McGee in his residence hall. Four years later, she was killed by a drunken driver.
Carpenter, Overland Park senior. now wants to honor his friend by changing the way students think about drunken driving.
He and other students from a COMS 342, "Problem-Solving in Teams and Groups," decided to bring together several organizations that deal with drunken driving. The forum met yesterday at the fourth-floor lobby in the Kansas Union to promote drunken-driving awareness to students at the University of Kansas.
Kansas.
The "Tired of Drunk Driving Memorial Wall" was one of the ways Carpenter and his classmates tried to illustrate how harmful drunken driving can be. Pictures and stories of people killed in drunken-driving accidents nationwide covered the mound of used tires.
One story featured a man named Jon "M.J." Vigneron, a 48-year-old employee for Kansas Power and Light in Topeka, who died after being hit by a drunken driver in 1999. He died on his 28th wedding anniversary.
Some of the groups at the event
included Mothers Against Drunk Driving, the Kansas Department of Transportation, Kansas Family Partnership and KU SafeRide.
Carissa Wheat, Allen senior and student in the communications class, said the memorial was created to cause students to think twice before drinking and driving.
"We just thought there wasn't anything to honor the people who have died from drunk driving, and we wanted to create something that did," she said. "Because of drunk driving, people's lives can change forever."

Mike Appleby, KU on Wheels director, attended the forum and provided information about the KU SafeRide program, a transportation system that provides students with an alternative to driving home drunk.

FBI broadens investigation against Kansas pharmacy
KANSAS CITY. Mo. — The FBI is expanding its drug-dilution investigation at a Kansas pharmacy because the latest drug alleged to be weakened is so different from those found earlier, said representative Jeff Lanza.
representative law firm. Pharmacist Robert R. Courtney is charged with diluting the cancer drugs Gemzar and Taxol at his Research Medical Tower Pharmacy in Kansas City. Tests released Tuesday showed two samples of the fertility drug progesterone from his Merriam pharmacy had been watered down, the FBI said.
sau. Lanza would not say how many new samples agents have taken from Courtney's Kansas pharmacy. He said agents were still working through a list of 250 new callers to the FBI's hotline.
"Anything available for testing that could have been altered, we're interested in having tests taken on." Lanza said.
He has said the federal Food and Drug Administration, which tested the progesterone, is already testing other drugs taken from the Kansas store, called Courtney's Pharmacy. Test results are pending on some drugs taken from the Missouri store as well.
Courtney has been held without
bond since his arrest on Aug 15
He was later indicted on 20 federal counts of tampering, adulterating and misbranding the chemotherapy drugs that a Kansas City physician prescribed for her patients. He has pleaded not guilty and is scheduled for trial in March.
No one has been charged or taken into custody for the latest alleged dilutions. The FBI is investigating whether someone besides Courtney allegedly weakened those medications because the millionaire druggist spent little time at the Kansas store, Lanza said.
at the Kaiser Cancer Center.
Progesterone is a relatively inexpensive drug. Lanza said, while Gemzar and Taxol are both expensive.
The government says Courtney confessed that he diluted the chemotherapy drugs so he could pocket the difference in price.
courtney owed more than $600,000 in taxes and $350,000 on a pledge to his church, according to court papers filed Monday.
Investigators have also turned up suspicious or low-potency samples of Paraplatin, Platinol, Procrit, Neupogen, Roferon and Zofran, according to court records released last week.
Olathe officer shot in jaw
The Associated Press
OLATHE — A fugitive murder suspect from Washington state has been charged with attempted first-degree murder after a shootout with Overland Park police, authorities said.
Park police, auditor, state Sgt. Robert Kolenda was shot in the jaw Tuesday while trying to arrest David Grant Peterson. Peterson was charged with attempted first-degree murder and a second count of a felon in possession of a firearm yesterday in Johnson County District Court.
Peterson was in serious condition with wounds in his chest, wrists and buttocks. Kolenda was in good condition.
Authorities in Washington state had been seeking Peterson, 30, since Oct. 12 when, detectives said, he fatally shot
a man who was visiting Peterson's estranged wife in the Seattle suburb of Skyway. He is charged with murder in a King County, Wash., arrest warrant.
King County authorities yesterday were preparing to extradite Peterson, said King County prosecutor spokesman Dan Donohoe.
Overland Park police came across Peterson's trail Tuesday evening while they were investigating a credit card and check fraud ring. While staking out an apartment of the fraud suspect, police learned the suspect might be traveling with Peterson, they said.
When Kolenda tried to stop the men as they arrived at the apartment, Peterson shot the officer in the jaw, and the sergeant fired seven shots, police said. Peterson was hit by three bullets.

PERSPECTIVE
How will KU spend tuition money?
If the University of Kansas wants to pitch the idea of increased tuition to students, it must tell students what they will be getting for their money.
The University has proposed three scenarios that will bring in an extra $50 million, $40 million or $25 million a year, depending on the scenario and assuming enrollment remains at current levels. Provost David Shulenburger said that the University came up with these numbers by comparing its budget with those of KU's five peer institutions: Oregon, Iowa, North Carolina-Chapel Hill, Oklahoma and Colorado. The average budget of these five institutions is 100 percent, and an extra $50 million a year would get us to that level, Shulenburger said.
Commentary
That's fine for administrators, researchers, University Relations and Office of Admissions people who spend their days advertising for the University. That's outstanding information for the thousands of prospective students who every year spend their senior year of high school researching and comparing the budgets of KU and its five peer institutions.
But Shulenburger's numbers are of little to no comfort to the students who will actually be paying for school.
John Audlehelm

We're buying a new car. We walk into the dealership. Instead of seeing cars, we see price tags hanging from the ceiling above the spots where the cars should be. The price tags have various numbers on them: $25,000, $40,000 and $50,000.
Shulenburger has provided precious little detail as to what the extra money will buy. The University has a list of things it would like to spend money on: faculty salary increases, technology, student aid, building renovations and repairs, online enrollment and a new recreation center, to name a few. But the only items that have specific dollar amounts attached are student aid (20 percent of new money generated) and technology (an $8 fee per credit hour).
We've been trying to get online enrollment and a new recreation center for years — we should at least have an idea what they will cost. Shulenburger said that Scenario I, which would raise $50 million annually, is the only one that would pay for increased faculty salaries. Scenario II would raise $40 million. Does the University plan to spend $10 million on faculty salary increases?
The University knows how much money the scenarios would raise. It knows how much the stuff it wants will cost. If it has attached specific dollar amounts to student aid and technology, why can't it attach specific dollar amounts to the other new projects the extra money would pay for?
Shulenburger said that he couldn't because the University's method of distributing money is to collect it every year, and then go around to different departments and ask them what they need. That is how the new money would be distributed as well.
So we will probably be getting wheels and windshield wipers with our new car. But we must first give the car salesman all our money up front, and then he will ship it off to the manufacturer, who will then
build the car, piece by piece, with the money he receives. Let's hope he buys wheels before he runs out of money. Let's hope it never rains ever again.
Referring to the scenarios, Shulen-burger said, "Those are not numbers pulled out of the air." No, they're just pulled out of five schools that KU students couldn't care less about.
KU students don't care what the computers are like in Oregon. We don't care how much Iowa spends on student aid and faculty salaries. We care about what will affect us at KU, here and now. We care about what we will receive, and how much it will cost. The University hasn't told us either. If the University administrators don't know how much new projects would cost, they should figure it out. If the budget process stands in the way of that, they should change the budget process.
Students have to know what their money buys. If we don't, the University's proposed tuition increases won't drive off the lot.

PERSPECTIVE
Sufficient lighting at GSP should be put in place
Universities have traditionally been a mecca for would-be rapists. Where else can one find such a collection young, beautiful and defenseless women? A study appearing in the Chronicle of Higher Education confirms the danger to women on college campuses.
However, there is one glaring oversight. Any late arrival coming home to Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall knows there is a parking shortage. Residents know they have to park in the north end of the stadium parking lot or on nearby streets if they are unable to find a spot. These women also know they face a dark, dangerous walk up 11th Street to reach their residence hall.
In response, many universities have installed better lighting and emergency telephones. The University of Kansas has followed suit by adding significant lighting to most of the campus walkways and installing 22 emergency phones on campus. The University has made substantial progress toward keeping our campus safe.
As a resident of that neighborhood, I usually see about five cars parked in the stadium lot, meaning that every night at least this many women are forced to walk the perilous path. The walk begins north on Mississippi Street with a right up the hill on 11th Street past Indiana Street to the top where the hall sits. On this walk of three blocks, walkers encounter two streetlights—at the two intersections. They also encounter a tight corridor with several alleys. Rebels in the Revolutionary War were successful at sneak-attacking the British with less cover than this!

In the last three years, the University has had 16 violent offenses — including rape and assault — occur on its property outside residence halls. From these statistics and the aforementioned study, there is obviously an inherent risk of sexual assault on campus property. Drawing from the statistics, this means that there will probably be five acts of violence this year, but the question is where. The situation at 11th Street creates the perfect opportunity for such an event to occur. This is not a question of if, but when.
people affected are University of Kansas students. Who's responsible for solving the problem? We have seen issues like this in the past. Every spring, the city and the University pass the buck to the other on filling potholes on streets near the edges of campus. As far as lighting 11th Street, it would not be surprising if neither takes the lead and covers the expense associated with improving public safety in the area. This would be a mistake.
I'm not saying that anyone planned to create such a situation. No one is to blame. However, the situation demands a solution. This part of 11th Street is city property, but most of the
It is clear that the University and the city need to jointly address this problem immediately. Whether the two entities need to split the cost or allow the other to place lighting or phones on its property, there is no reason the safety of those who are forced to walk this portion of 11th Street should not be secured right away. This is an excellent issue for the Community Affairs Director of Student Senate to spearhead. Unfortunately, rapes and other sexual crimes do occur on college campuses. However, there is no reason we should force the females of GSP-Corbin to be sitting ducks for such an offense. This issue will be an excellent test: The need for a solution is an absolute no-brainer — now we'll see how long it takes our respective governments to fix it.

Today's Birthday (Dec. 7).
Today's a幸运的一天
Struggle, effort, change, growth,
evolution, pain, frustration, celebration, fascination, irritation,
anger, joy and love — all of it awaits you this year as you make your way through the maze of life.
Education. Growing up. You have everything you need, and more, to ace this class.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is an 5.
Oops! Everything has come to a screeching halt. How did this happen? All of a sudden you are slogging through the mud instead of flying high. Don't waste energy complaining. Keep slogging!
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7.
It may seem as if there isn't enough of anything to go around. Even resources that once seemed abundant now look skimpy. Ali is not lost. You're getting more creative.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) is today a 5.
Wheat! All of a sudden you’re facing one problem after another. If you keep the details straight, you'll regain control. Ask an expert for advice if you need it. You may have to change direction.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 5.
It's just one issue to resolve after another,
all day long and well into the night. You're
learning fast and love a challenge, so this
is fun, right? Not really. You're successful
in some things but not in all. Better luck
tomorrow.
Lee(July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 6.
Costs could be higher than expected, so budget carefully. Keep track of all the details to minimize surprises. You may have to turn down a loved one's request.
9
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 6.
Everything was balanced precariously until you came along. You can push over the one domino that knocks down all the others. Don't let it happen by accident. Pay attention to what you're doing.
2
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 6.
You're on a roller coaster. Caution is advised now, especially in travel. Be careful what you say, too. Amazingly, you're still able to think quickly, but don't take anything for granted. All is not as it seems.
LION
练
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 5.
If you are contemplating a big purchase or even a lot of little ones, consult a thrifty friend first. The item that looks like a deal may have a fatal flaw. Find it before, not after, you close the deal.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 5. Slam on the brakes. Find a hiding place. The less attention you draw now, the better. There's a time to be bold and a time to lay low for a few days. This is the latter.
M
SCORPION
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 5.
The coast still isn't clear, but the fog is definitely lifting. You can visualize your destination, but you shouldn't begin the journey yet. Don't get mad about the stuff in your way. It'll make you stronger.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 6.
Discretion is advised, especially with your spending. You and your friends could go through everything you've saved in a very short time. You have a worthy cause, but that's no excuse to squander. Be thrifty!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 5.
It helps to have a good partner, but don't
expect total agreement. Everybody has
their own opinions, and they're all eager
to express them. Might as well toss in your
two cents' worth.

Women's basketball team developing zone defense
4
鱼
By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter
"You always learn something every year." Washington said. "It's obviously forcing me to study zone defense more, but it's just not something that I enjoy coaching."
In Wednesday's game at Arizona State, the Jayhawks (3-5) played zone defense for most of the game, keeping the Sun Devils to 46.3 percent from the field. Washington said she doesn't particularly like this type of defense, but it is something Kansas will have to use this season.
With "rebuilding" emerging as the theme for the Kansas women's basketball team, coach Marian Washington is experimenting with zone defense, which isn't exactly her favorite thing to coach.
Kansas will continue to develop its defense at 1 p.m. tomorrow at Allen Fieldhouse against Weber State.
"We're going to get better with it," Washington said. "In the zone you have to be really disciplined and patient because you get kind of hum-
Senior Kristin Geoffroy, who shares the starting center position with senior Nikki White, said she agreed with Washington that zone was the best option for the Jayhawks this season.
gry and begin opening up the zone a little too much and allow for some penetration."
"Right now, with such young players, zone is a lot easier for our team because a lot of the players aren't used to team defense in the sense that you need it for man-to-man," Geoffroy said. "Right now zone is what's working for us."
Three players are averaging double figures for the Wildcats, a team that is averaging 72 points and 36 rebounds per game.
Kansas' last and only meeting with Weber State was in 1992. The Ivyhawks won 82-48.
Washington said she saw rebounding as a problem for her team, especially playing zone.
"If there's a weakness playing zone it is that it's difficult to find a player to box out." Washington said. "It's just something that we know

we've got to keep working on."
On the season, Kansas has been out-rebounded by opponents 307- 303.
Offensively, Kansas is relying heavily on senior guards KC Hilgenkamp and Selena Scott. Against Arizona State. Hilgenkamp's 12 points all came in the first half. Washington said she was not discouraged by her senior's offensive slumps.
"I just tell her to shoot the ball," Washington said. "I don't care if she's struggling for a while. She's a shooter; you have to believe in them, and they have to believe in themselves."

Swimmers dive into a road trip
The swim team will again hit the road in hopes of notching two more marks in the victory column in its first action since the Minnesota Invitational Nov. 16 to 18.
Kansas will face the Rams of Colorado State University tonight in a dual meet. The team will hit the water at 5 p.m. in Fort Collins, Colo.
The team will then travel to Laramie, Wyo., tomorrow to battle with the Wyoming Cowboys in another dual meet at noon.
This weekend the team looks to improve on its fifth-place finish in the Minnesota Invitational. No individual or relay team finished
higher than third in any event in Minnesota.
This past week, Kansas strengthened its chances in the future by receiving three letters of intent from high school swimmers.
Gina Gnatzig, Whitewater High School senior, from Whitewater. Wis., swims the backstroke, freestyle and individual medley events and will do so in Lawrence next year.
Lindsey Urbatchka, Sheridan High School senior, from Sheridan, Wyo., swims the butterfly, individual medley and backstroke events. She maintains a 4.0 grade point average and is an Academic All-
American. She will look to continue her success, in and out of the pool, at Kansas next year.
Amy Roller, Moline High School senior, from Moline, Ill., also maintains a 4.0 GPA. She will be swimming the backstroke, individual medley and freestyle events for the layhawks in the fall.
"The three ladies that we signed this fall are outstanding, both in the pool and in the classroom," said Kansas coach Cathy Burgess. "All three will make an impact on this program and should help us compete at a higher level next season."

Haskell event to feature pro wrestlers
The Haskell Baseball Club will sponsor a prowrestling event tomorrow to raise money for the coming season.
The event, which will feature wrestlers from a St. Joseph, Mo., wrestling school with names such
as Blood Lust, Smack Daddy and Assassin,
begins at 7 p.m. at the Coffin Complex on the
Haskell University campus.
The event will also feature a "Midget Match" between the Lil' Italian
Stallion and Mad Mex.
the baseball team which has more than 30 players, receives no money from the university and hopes to raise money for equipment and travel expenses for the spring season.
Tickets are available at the door. Ringside seats are $10, general admission is $8, and children ages six to 12 are $4.

Track meet preparation for indoors
By Matt Norton Kansan sportswriter
Today Kansas track and field opens its 2001-2002 season at Kansas State in an all-comers meet featuring athletes from 18 schools.
Nine freshmen on the men's team and seven women will make their debut as Jayhawks, including freshman Brandon Hodges, who was one of the nation's best high school 800-meter runners last spring.
Assistant coach Doug Clark said he was taking a group of young middle-distance runners to the meet with the hope of getting them ready for a big indoor campaign.
"If they're going to peak at Big 12 indoors, that's only a couple months away." Clark said.
Clark said he wanted to find legs for the distance medley relay, which last year finished sixth at the NCAA championships.
Two members of that team are gone. Andy Tate graduated last May, and Charlie Gruber has eligibility for only the outdoor season.
Lacio said the meet would be a good opportunity to see how well his fall training had gone. Despite being under the stress of finals, Lacio said he was ready for the meet and an opportunity to begin staking a claim on the relay.
"The middle-distance group is pretty solid," Lacio said. "The DMR is a goal, and we'll be good as long as we have a good mile leg."
Assistant coach Brian Ferry said he was pleased with the progress of two high jumpers going to the meet today.
Junior T.J. Hacker walked onto the team last spring and finished fourth at the Big 12 Conference outdoor championships with a jump of 7'1".
Ferry said Hackler's training had been going well, evidenced by his jump of 6'10" last week at an intrajugad meet.
Freshman Sonra Rauterkus, whose previous best high jump was 5'7" as a high school junior, cleared 5'9" at the intrasquad meet.
Ferry said she would surprise people this season.
"She's my sleeper recruit," he said.

'Moulin Rouge' hits a high note
The Associated Press
LOSANGELES —Thehyperkinetic musical Moulin Rouge topped the National Board of Review's list of the year's best movies Wednesday, boosting its chances for a potential Oscar nomination.
The anachronistic tale of an 1899 French bursulesque show set to modern pop tunes was directed by Baz Luhmann and starred Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman.
Co-star Jim Broadbent was named best supporting actor by the group for both his role as a devilish cabaret owner in *Moulin Rouge* and *Iris*, in which he loved of novelist Iris Murdoch.

Undefeated Kangaroos ready to face Jayhawks
By Ali Brox
Kansan sportswriter
The University of Missouri-Kansas City Kangaroos are off to their best start in school history with a 5-0 record. UMKC brings its perfect record to Allen Fieldhouse when it faces Kansas at 7 p.m. tomorrow.
"I'm very pleased with our start," said UMKC first-year KANGAROO
coach Rich Zvosec. "We have four seniors who have come out very committed to make this their best year yet."
The Kangaroos are coming off a 70-63 win against Robert Morris on Wednesday. Sophomore guard Michael Watson led the team with 26 points against Robert Morris. Watson was also named the Mid-Continent Player-of-the-Week on Monday after scoring 52 points in two games. Watson turned in 29 points against Southwest Missouri State and added 23 points in UMKC's win against Northern Iowa.
Senior forward Michael Jackson is also a major contributor for the Kangaroos. Jackson is averaging 12.6 points and 5.4 rebounds on the season despite being held to just six points against Robert Morris, only the fifth time in his career in single digits. Jackson is a two-time All-Conference Player.
"He's very good," Zvosec said. "He's become a more complete player this year."
Jackson is joined on the UMKC roster by Marcus Golson, his high school teammate at Blue Valley Northwest. Golson, a senior forward, scored 21 points against Robert Morris and is averaging 12 points and 5.2 rebounds this season.
Zvosec said the game against Kansas would surely have special meaning for the Kansas natives on his team. Playing in a historic building such as the fieldhouse against a team like Kansas is a tremendous opportunity for his players, Zvosec said.
Zvosec said the key for UMKC in tomorrow's game would be conversion from offense to defense. He said the Kangaroos could not allow Kansas a lot of transition baskets. On offense, the key would be taking care of the ball.
Battling free-throw woes
NO
Drew Gooden, Kansas junior forward, prepares for a cradle dunk against Pittsburg State University. Although Gooden and the rest of the Jayhawks are hitting 54 percent from the field, they are struggling at the line, making just 68 percent of their free throws.

Men's basketball team hoping to improve its foul-line difficulties against UMKC
Contact Brox at 864-4858
By Ryan Malashock Kansan sportswriter
Roy Williams' first comment during his postgame press conference Tuesday night was that nobody should ask him about Kansas' pathetic free-throw shooting against Wake Forest.
The Kansas men's basketball coach left on a recruiting trip the next day and suggested that his team worked on free throws in his absence.
The results from that practice will show at 7 p.m. tomorrow at Allen Fieldhouse as the No.4 Jayhawks (5-1) take on the University of Missouri-Kansas City Kangaroos (5-0).
The Jayhawks defeated No. 23 Wake Forest by seven points Tuesday night—a margin that could have been higher if Kansas had connected on more than 20 of its 40 free throws.
"Nobody did a good job," Williams said. "Sometimes you make them, sometimes you don't. I guess I am superstitious about things like that, but that was a terrible exhibition."
Junior forward Drew Gooden was one of the only Jayhawks who successfully shot free throws against Wake Forest, going three for four.
"It was terrible," Gooden said. "We can't expect to win games if we keep shooting them like that.
"Luckily, we played good defense and

Coach Rich Zvosec's Kangaroos enter the fieldhouse tomorrow night with the chance to open some eyes around the nation.
UMKC senior guard Matt Suther said the Kangaroos' first five wins against lesser opponents would give them a boost heading into the match-up with nationally-ranked Kansas.
Sophomore guard Michael Watson scored 26 points in the Robert Morris win and leads the Kangaroos with an average of 20.2 points per game.
"When you win those kinds of games it builds confidence, so when those situations come up everybody pulls together and feels like you are going to win," Suther said.
Note:
This will be the first time the two teams have met in nearly nine years. Kansas beat the Kangaroos 108-62 in Kansas City on Dec. 12, 1992.

Jaydreaming of a successful sports future
A couple of years from now, Kansas fans might look back at Tuesday, Dec. 4, 2001, and say, "That's when we came back. It's been great since then."
Commentary
They would be talking about the winning seasons that Kansas football had seen since Mark Mangino was introduced as Kansas' 35th head football coach on the unseasonably warm and sunny December day.

He assembled a coaching staff that was second to none in the Big 12 Conference, and the former Kansas State assistant and Oklahoma offensive coordinator used his recruiting ties and pieced together a team that won eight games. Kansas even beat K-State.
Mangino hit so many contract incentives that season that his yearly

earnings kept rising like the score on a pin-ball machine, all the way past $1 million.
Don't forget about Wayne Simien, though. The Leavenworth freshman played in his first Division I-A game that night. In 15 minutes, he scored 10 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. It was the first double-double by any player in his debut under coach Roy Williams.
Supporting juniors Drew Gooden and Nick Collison that season, Simien never once complained about getting less than 20 minutes a game.
But Williams found ways to get
Simien in the game. Simien had something none of the other Jayhawks had—a mean streak. Simien didn't simply rebound basketballs. He tore them out of the air and ripped them out of opponents' hands. He was a wrecking machine.
In the regular season finale at Missouri, Collison got into foul trouble early in the second half, and Williams inserted Simien into the game.
Darned if "Big Dub" didn't change the tone of the game. All of a sudden, Tigers were getting tossed around under the hoop by Simien and what had been a see-saw game turned into lopsided KU win.
Kansas went on to dominate in the Final Four that year, and the experience of winning a national championship kept Gooden and Collison from turning pro. No one talks about Duke being the premier college basketball team in the county anymore. The Jayhawks then won their second consecutive national
championship by beating the Blue Devils for the second year in a row.
Because of Kansas' athletic success in football and basketball, more students than ever enrolled at the University. Enrollment for Fall 2004 hit 30,000. Because of the influx of students, more money than ever has been generated from tuition. Still glowing from Kansas' sudden ascension to one of Newsweek's Top 10 schools to attend, Chancellor Robert Hemenway actually lowered tuition to its 2001 rate.
Mangino's football program generated so much money for the athletics department that the men's swimming and tennis teams were reinstated, and Kansas' athletics centers received substantial upgrades.
Man, it's a good time to be a Jayhawk.

Pearl Harbor survivor tells story to group
Former KU professor recollects sights,sounds of surprise attack
By Matt Norton Kansan staff writer
Vince Muirhead still remembers the sight of fiery jet engines of Japanese fighter planes over Pearl Harbor.
"A commotion started, and we looked out the porthole," Muirhead said. "And here was a Japanese airplane about 100 feet off the ground going away from us. We could see the red meatballs as it went by."
The former University of Kansas aerospace engineering professor and department chairman spoke Friday afternoon to a group of about 75 students in the Aerospace Colloquium about his experiences at Pearl Harbor, and the circumstances surrounding the attack.
sources surrounding him.
Muirhead said he had been stationed on the USS Maryland after graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy. On Sunday, Dec. 7, 1941, Muirhead said he had planned to take his new 8 mm movie camera and get some pictures of the weekly hula show that took place on the island of Oahu — where the naval base was located.

Then the Japanese fighter planes attacked. Muirhead didn't get to go to the show.
"Look at all of the technology we have now," Ross said. "A lot of it was developed during the war."

who served as captain. Ross said he was struck by Muirhead's story of looking out the porthole to see the Japanese plane. Ross said he thought the day Pearl Harbor was bombed was one of the most important days of the 20th century.
Though many lives were lost in the attack at Pearl Harbor, Muirhead said the situation would have been far worse had it happened today, mainly because of improved television capabilities. He said TV coverage of war could hamper a country's military strategy by alerting an enemy of U.S. attack plans.
"Fortunately we didn't have TV", he said. "CNN wasn't there to report it to the Japanese."
Muirhead said many people had tried to assign blame for the attack. He made comparisons between Pearl Harbor and the September terrorist attacks by saying that in both situations there were intelligence reports suggesting an attack might occur. But, because there were no specific details in either case, neither attack was prevented.
Muirhead said that instead of trying to place the blame for not being ready on a individual or group, Americans should understand that it is difficult for the United States to be on full alert all the time.

When Eddie Penn scans the group pictures of former members that line the walls of his fraternity, Beta Theta Pi, one thing strikes him about the faces looking back — none are Black like his.
Penn, McPherson senior, is the only Black among 86 current members and one of only a handful of minorities belonging to KU's traditional fraternities and sororites.
Although all White greek units abandoned rules for biding minority membership after the civil rights advances of the 1960s, most of them remain island of White isolation today.
Their members and leaders talk about the importance of diversity, but they don't target or succeed in recruiting Blacks and Latinos, who often prefer their own fraternities and sororites.
be then born as a Because prospective recruits of traditional Greek houses are nominated by current or former members, who are overwhelmingly White, few minorities are invited to rush parties. The result is
a system that is essentially separate — Whites in the traditional fraternities and Blacks and Latinos in their own.
Angie Carr, greek programs coordinator, said traditional fraternities and sororites didn't keep track of the number of minority members. But an inspection of fraternity and sorority member photographs in last year's 2001 Jayhawker yearbook revealed only six Black members in sororites and 11 in fraternities — a total of 17 Blacks out of 3,164 members. That means KU's 35 traditional fraternities and sororites have an African-American membership of .5 percent, less than one Black for every two Greek houses. In contrast, 2.6 percent of the KU student body is Black.
If the traditional greek houses had the same percentage of minorities as the entire KU student body, they would have 285 minorities and 114 of them would be Black. Some fraternities and sororites have no Black or Latino members.
Besides the lack of effort to recruit minorities, economic factors could play a role. Traditional Greek membership costs more than joining historically Black or Latino chapters.
cally black or Latino. Also, a system of Black and Latino chapters exists to offer an alternative for minorities who want a greek experience, but choose not to join a traditional chapter.
Even the governing bodies of the traditional chapters and Black and Latino chapters are separate. The traditional greeks fall under the jurisdiction of the Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Association and the Black and Latino Greeks are members of the National Pan-Hellenic Council Exceptions to the trend
The few minority students who have joined virtually all-White chapters say lack of diversity was less important than the emphasis on grades and living in a nice house.

Study links leg problems to Creatine
By Mike Alzamora and Lisa Starr Special to the Kansan
teaching assistant.
Michael Carper spent nearly 10 months studying the effects of Creatine in a study titled "Lower Leg Anterior Compartment Pressure Response Prior to, During and Following Creatine Supplementation."
It increases physical performance and helps build muscle mass, but the nutrition supplement Creatine Monohydrate may have potentially serious side effects on the lower leg, according to a recent study by a KU graduate teaching assistant.
Carper found a significant increase in compartment pressure among all 16 study participants. Simply put, muscle compartment pressure is similar to tire pressure. Muscles have limits to the amount of pressure they can hold.

similar increases in compartment pressure, and they were significant," Carper said.
Magee said that some athletes developed compartment syndrome because of Creatine supplement use. Compartment syndrome, or excessive swelling, occurs when the muscle expands more than 20 percent of its original size and cannot expand any further.
If this condition persists, Carper said a fasciotomy might be needed — surgery that goes into the muscle tissue to relieve pressure. He said that the muscle actually "pops" like a small explosion when the pressure is released. Surgeons reported finding "muscle death," or white muscle tissue, during these procedures.
Fred Roll, director of strength and conditioning for the KU Athletics Department, said that when an individual suffers from compartment pressure, the excessive swelling was very obvious.
Beginning in 1997, the KU Athletics Department supplied Creatine to ath-

"I just wanted to make sure that I treated students fairly and that they were able to participate. We need to work a little harder to personalize the educational experience."
Student body president Justin Mills said he had worked with Ambler less than other student body presidents. But Mills said he respected Ambler for his calm confidence
"I always told myself I would retire at around this age," said Ambler, 64. "It was a good compromise. I had taken the attitude that your career has to move with opportunity. But it's been a very good ride here, a very good fit.

'America's Most Wanted suspect found, convicted
PRINCETON, W.Va. — A Mercer County man captured in Kansas after being featured on America's Most Wanted has been convicted of 105 counts involving the sexual abuse of his four stepchildren.
Barry White was found guilty Friday by a jury in Mercer County Court Court.
White faces up to 30 years in prison on each of 30 counts of first-degree sexual assault and up to 20 years on each of 75 counts of child abuse by a custodian. Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 28.
Prosecutors said White sexually abused his stepchildren and forced them to have sex on each other.
The charges involved four children between ages 2 and 11. They had been in foster care and since have been adopted by their foster mother.
by their roster here. After the Whites fled Mercer County, prosecutors contacted the Fox network's America's Most Wanted program and provided details of the case, descriptions of the Whites and their car, and photographs.
The Whites were arrested in March at a mobile home in Toronto, Kan., after a neighbor saw the TV program and called police.
Prosecutors ask court to refuse Nichols' request for new trial
DENVER — Federal prosecutors have filed papers asking an appeals court to reject Oklahoma City bombing co-conspirator Terry Nichols' latest bid for a new trial.
Issues raised in Nichols' appeal have already been settled, prosecutor Sean Connellly argued in the documents filed Nov. 30 with the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The documents were made public Friday.
Defense lawyers have said Nichols deserves a new trial because of withheld FBI documents and a legal technicality that jurors should have determined whether Nichols knew the attack would be deadly.
Nichols, 45, was convicted by a federal jury of conspiracy and involuntary manslaughter in the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building, which killed 168 people. He was sentenced to life in prison. He still faces state murder charges in Oklahoma.

NATION&WORLD Woman tried in murder may be set free by judge
The Associated Press
LANCASTER, Pa. — John Show wanted the death penalty for Lisa Michelle Lambert in 1992, after a judge found the woman guilty of murdering his 16-year-old daughter with a butcher knife in a jealous rage over a man both women had dated.
Instead, as the 10th anniversary of Laurie Show's murder approaches, her family faces the possibility that Lambert will be set free by a federal judge who has ruled twice that she is an innocent victim of misconduct by police and prosecutors.
"If she gets out, it'll be a nightmare," said Show, who has written to Congress seeking an investigation of U.S. District Judge Stewart Dalzell's actions in the case. "It will be an outrage to us, to this community."
After being stunned by Lambert's killing on Dec. 20, 1991, this quiet farming area had to face a reminder last year with the airing of a television movie, The Stalking of Laurie Show.
"It's the case that won't go away," said Dale Jerchau, police chief for East Lampeter Township.
Lambert was 19 and living with her boyfriend, Lawrence Yunkin, when she learned that Yunkin had previously dated Laurie Show.
Laurie Snow.
Prosecutors said the liaison enraged Lambert. They said she lured Show's mother away from the condominium they shared in East Lampeter Township, and that Lambert and a friend, Tabitha Buck, then entered the home while Yunkin waited in a getaway car.
Show was stabbed several times, and her throat was slashed.
Although Lambert has admitted accompanying Buck into the apartment, she said she only intended to play a prank on Show by tying her up and cutting off her hair, and that she was framed by corrupt police.
John Show Father of murder victim
"If she gets out, it'll be a nightmare."
Hazel Show, however, told police that when she returned to her apartment, her daughter's last words were: "Michelle did it."
Lambert was convicted in 1992 and sentenced to life in prison. Buck was convicted of second-degree murder and also sentenced to life. Yunkin pleaded guilty to third-degree murder and is serving a 10- to 20-year sentence. All three remain in prison.
Lambert appealed, and in 1997 Dalzell concluded that she was a victim of "wholesale prosecutorial misconduct."
A federal appeals court later ruled that Dalzell overstepped his authority because Lambert had not yet exhausted her state appeals. The case was returned to state courts, where Lambert has lost several appeals. She also lost a bid for a hearing before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Supreme Court Lambert's case is again before Dalzell, who last month reinstated his 1997 findings.
Lambert claimed that former Assistant District Attorney Jack Kenneff tried to coerce an expert witness — Dr. Isidore Mihalakis, a forensic pathologist called by the defense to testify about Show's ability to utter her dying words — to change his testimony. Dalzell cited that claim as one example of prosecutorial misconduct.
misconduct.
Asked last week if Kenneff had asked him to alter his testimony, Mihalakis said: "Of course not. I had already submitted a [written] report of my testimony."
New York officials visit Israel
Kenneff noted that an FBI investigation — recommended by Dalzell in 1997 — resulted in no findings of wrongdoing.

JERUSALEM — New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and his successor, Michael Bloomberg, showed support for Israel yesterday by taking a heavily guarded tour of Jerusalem that included stops at the sites of recent Palestinian suicide bombings.

The group also visited a central Jerusalem pizza parlor where another Palestinian bomber killed himself and 15 other people on Aug. 9, including a U.S. citizen.
Earlier, the New York leaders inserted notes into crevices in the sacred Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem. Jewish tradition says wishes placed in the cracks will be granted by God.
Giulani, who has been widely praised for his calm handling of the World Trade Center attack, received a hero's welcome at many stops along the tour, led by Jerusalem Mayor Ehud Olmert.
Security was tight all along, especially at Zion Square where the New Yorkers donned skullcaps and stood alongside Olmert. Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Chief Rabbi Israel Meir Lau to watch the lighting of candles for the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah.

The three Americans also met privately with Sharon and Foreign Minister Shimon Peres.
Demonstrating a clear preference for Israel in the 14 months of clashes with the Palestinians, Giuliani said "there is no moral equivalent" between the Jewish state and the Palestinian Authority.
He criticized Arafat and said he had not kept to his commitments to crack down on Palestinian militants.
Bloomberg also hinted support for Israeli missile attacks against Palestinians, saying countries that have been victims of terror should "strike back."

Intel co-founder pledges $261 million to conservation
SAN JOSE, Calif. — A foundation set up by Intel Corp. co-founder Gordon Moore has pledged $261 million over 10 years to Conservation International, the largest gift to a private environmental group.

spots in Mexico cover the year. "Places like Cabo San Lucas have become high-rise hotels and golf courses — not at all like it used to be," he told The Associated Press. "Just seeing how fast the changes were got me interested in the problem."
Moore's gift is the largest to a private environmental organization, according to the New York-based Foundation Center.
The gift to Washington-based Conservation International will help fund a global initiative based on the theory that conservationists can be most effective by targeting imperiled areas of the greatest biodiversity.
The money will help the group, which was founded in 1987, set up field stations in several at-risk areas, said Peter Seligmann, Conservation International's chief executive.

Two charged in assassination of Israeli tourism minister
JERUSALEM — Two Palestinians were formally charged yesterday in the Oct.7 assassination of Israeli Tourism Minister Rehavam Zeevi, the first Israeli Cabinet minister ever killed by Palestinians.
Neither is accused of pulling the trigger — prosecutors say they assisted the gunmen. In the Jerusalem District Court, Mohammed Rimawi, from the West Bank village of Beit Rima, was charged with murder. Saleh Alawi, from east Jerusalem, was charged as an accomplice.
The assassination triggered Israeli incursions into six Palestinian towns, a move hotly criticized by the United States.
The charge sheet said Hamdi Koraan, from the West Bank town of Ramallah, shot Zeevi, and Basal Samer accompanied him. Koraan and Samer are believed to be still at large in Palestinian-controlled areas.
The prosecution said Koraan, a member of the radical Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, recruited Rimawi into the organization with the offer of carrying out an attack on a prominent Israeli.
Rimawi, whose role in the operation, according to the indictment, was to aid the escape of Koraan and Samer, later allegedly enlisted Alawi and asked him to harbor the fugitives in his home in the neighborhood of lizariya on the edge of Jerusalem.
The charge sheet said Koraan and Samer fled from Alawi's house during the early hours of the morning following the assassination when they spotted Israeli security forces approaching the hide-out.

Rare closed class openers sought after by students
By Eve Lamborn Kansan staff writer
Buck Lions Cares
A student once stood in the doorway of Sally Roberts' American Sign Language I class holding a $100 bill and offered it to anyone who would drop the class and let her take their spot.
let her take the course. Roberts, assistant professor of special education, said her sign language classes were so popular that students sat in the aisles on the first day every semester because the room was filled with students hoping to get a closed-class opener.
Students hoping to get into a full class need a closed-class opener, which they must get from the instructor of the class or the department, said Cindy Derritt, associate registrar.
That means that students wanting to get into the most popular classes on campus sometimes need to convince the instructor to let them in.
Roberts said she received at least 10 e-mails a day from students trying to get into her classes. There are at least 60 students on the waiting list right now for next semester's American Sign Language I and Introduction to Sign Language classes, neither of which have prerequisites.
Her voice mail message tells hopefuls that her classes are closed, but persistent students continue to flood her with messages anyway. She said the most common excuse she heard was that students had to get into her classes to fulfill their foreign language requirements so they could graduate on time.
"It's gotten so I dread enrollment." she said.
Derritt said some departments issued closed-class openers as spaces became available, while others issued them in advance, knowing that some students would drop. Some don't issue them at all because the classroom has a strict capacity. She said all students had the option of going through add/drop at the beginning of next semester.
George Lottes, instructor of health, sport and exercise sciences, teaches Basic Fire Arms, a class which instructs students how to handle and care for different types of guns. He said he regularly turned away students who wanted to take the class, which
only enrolled 18-20 students.
Students begging for closed-class openers usually tell Lottes they need to get in to obtain a hunting license. He said he had a student last year who wanted to learn how to handle a firearm because was going to Russia.
"I didn't tell him that he'd get in trouble for handling firearms in Russia." Lottes said.
Skylar Frasier, Burr Oak sophomore, needed to take a Spanish grammar class this semester, but the class was full when he enrolled last spring. Undeterred, he talked to the Spanish department and attended the class in August. He said he even purchased the books for the class and started doing the homework. The books cost him about $60 and could not be returned once he opened the shrink wrap.
He said the department would not let him into the class, which only had one section, despite his persistence.
"Buying the book and doing the homework does not help apparently," he said.

The only significant increase reported in the study was leg volume. Body mass, body fat and blood pressure did not significantly increase because of supplement use. Carper said that one possible reason for the large increase in leg volume was fluid retention.
He said that after 28 days of no Creatine use, lower leg compartment pressure began to decrease back toward normal

Clint Wynn, Kansas City, Kan., senior, took a liquid form of Creatine before workouts. "It helped me work out longer and not feel as tired," Wynn said.
Wynn said that he didn't think Creatine was dangerous and would use it again.
And he only noticed one side effect — it made him "jump."
"I don't recommend Creatine to anybody. I don't think you can get anything more from Creatine than you can from a balanced

LETTERSTO THE EDITOR
Dear editor.
Ms. Bainum is just like many toe-tag liberal professors on university campuses today. They blame America for Sept. 11 and gloat about their First Amendment rights but when others disapprove of their ideas and protest them, these same professors threaten to file lawsuits against others' freedom of expression.
I couldn't help but chuckle after I read Megan Bainum's sobsong and tirade against "the voices of sexual repression" and our "morally righteous world" ("Neither Mom nor society should stop her." Dec. 6.)
Now I will give Ms. Bainum credit.
You have not stooped to the level of your fellow anything-goes, post-modern, political correctness-advocating partners by threatening legal action but you have displayed an attitude that is common among your type. That is one of being able to give but not to take.
It is Ms. Bainum's First Amendment right to promote sexual perversion in the pages of the Kansan. But don't start wringing your hands and pouting when others publically criticize your perverse worldview. By the way, before writing another column encouraging fellow KU students to just do it if it feels good, I suggest that Ms. Bainum read verses nine through eleven of the sixth chapter of Paul's first letter to the Corinthians. However, that is in the Bible, which may just be too "morally righteous" for you.

Minnesota sad to see baseball go
Major League Baseball is pregnant.
Or at least you'd think it was listening to the news lately. Everywhere you turn, you hear about baseball having contractions. Unfortunately, this pregnancy won't result in a beautiful new creation, but rather the loss of two franchises. Although it hasn't been officially announced, it appears the two teams cut will be the Montreal Expos and the Minnesota Twins. This is a bad thing for baseball fans no matter where you're from, but being from the Land O'Lakes makes it even worse for me.
I admit that over the last ten years, the Twins were about as bad as any major sports franchise can be, but this last season things finally started to look a little brighter for the Twickin. And how were they rewarded? By being told they may get cut.
After winning the World Series in 1991, the Twins began a downward spiral that left them in last place year after year after year. I think there were more people in my psychology class last year than there were fans at the Twins games during those years. Going to a game, it looked as though the team was playing in the middle of the ocean, because of the blue seats.

Commentary
1984
Every year the team's payroll would go down, leaving them with the lowest payroll in the league for the 2001 season. So naturally, everyone expected them to be cellar dwellers once again. But this year was the year of 2001: A Twins Oddity — they actually were good. Usually the Twins win about as many games as there are letters in the name of Doug Mientkiewicz, the Twins' first baseman.
This season, however, the Twins were in first place for much of the first half of the season, and they ended up finishing in second place. Although they missed the playoffs, they did better than anyone thought they would, considering their payroll. That's why it's a real shame that the league is thinking of cutting them.
Going to Twins' games has long been
a summertime tradition for people in Minnesota. When thinking of summer, one doesn't usually get the image of watching a baseball game inside a giant dome, but that's the way it's been in Minnesota for my entire life. That's what I'll be able to tell my grandkids.
I'll tell them of the hot summer days where I would go into a giant white bubble to watch the Twins play. A time when you could buy a cup of Coke for only $6, and a box of cracker jacks for only $17.50. Ah, memories.
Although your team may be good now, there is nothing to say in the future it won't get cut (unless you are a Yankees fan). Although it won't likely happen next season, there is a good chance that soon the Twins will be no more. And judging by the way the Minnesota Vikings are playing, our only claim to fame will be a giant mall.
I know many of you aren't Twins fans, but this contraction may start a chain reaction that could lead to other teams getting cut in the future.

Why we need a tuition increase and who could have prevented it
David Kerr has left us with a crummy choice.
Kansas used to place a high value on education. It has always been a conservative state, but Kansans consistently supported funding for education.
Now we have, as Governor Bill Graves put it, "a growing group of legislators who are just not very supportive of public education." This group is led by David Kerr, a state senator from Hutchinson. First as Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee and now as President of the Senate, Kerr has blocked repeated efforts by Democrats and moderate Republicans to raise spending on education or even to hold it steady in real terms.
Commentary
From 1996 to 2000 as the economy grew and tax revenues swelled, Kerr successfully pushed $800 million into tax cuts. In the meantime, higher education spending rose only 4 percent, failing to even keep pace with inflation. Spending on K-12 education was falling even further behind, and last year Gov. Graves tried to do something about it. He proposed to increase the K-12 budget to the level that it should have been at had it merely kept pace with inflation over the previous decade. Because of the slowing economy and the tax cuts, the proposal required a tax increase of $80 million. Kerr announced that the Senate would not support any tax increase, and the plan was dead before it started.

shows no sign of budging on his refusal to raise taxes. So now at the University of Kansas, we are left with a crummy choice: raise tuition or cut programs.
The same scenario is now strangling higher education. The University only receives 80 percent as much per student from the state as its peer universities do, but the state is already facing a $130 million budget shortfall, and Kerr
It's not really a choice at all. The problems with raising tuition are many and varied. They are also trivial compared to not raising tuition. The University of Kansas must raise tuition. And it's David Kerr's fault.
Undemocratic: The University of Kansas is supposed to be a public university. Public universities are government programs, set up by state legislatures with state tax dollars for the benefit of the state. If the democratically elected State legislature decides to spend less money on any other program, that program shrinks; it doesn't raise funds elsewhere. The University does not get to choose when it will be a public university and when it will be a private one. A decision by appointed officials to raise tuition to replace lost government dollars is undemocratic.
To illustrate what a crummy choice this is, let's look at why raising tuition is bad from various perspectives:
**Elitist:** Raising tuition without equal increases in financial aid means that the state's flagship university becomes unaffordable to more of the state's poorest residents. In all likelihood, it
means that the student body will draw even more heavily from Douglas County and Johnson County.
Kansas was the last state in the country to grant automatic admission to all public universities to any resident with a high school diploma. It traditionally places a premium on giving state residents from every region and class the same educational opportunities. Pricing more students out of the school would mark a rapid transformation from populist to elitist.
Wastful: Any student who has lived in student housing or dealt with facilities and operations know additional beneficial spending cuts could be made at KU. Increasing revenues takes the pressure off the University to trim the fat.
Shortsighted: The Board of Regents has not taken steps to guarantee that all Kansans will still have the opportunity to go to college. Given the difference in average lifetime earnings between high school and college graduates, income tax revenues twenty years from now could take a big hit.
And Yet: There is no other choice. KU's peer universities are spending 25 percent more per year.The only alternative is to cut programs,find a new peer group and throw away a century's worth of work.
So students, support the administration on the tuition increase. Help others to pay if you can. And when you graduate, move to Hutchinson and vote against David Kerr.

the organization. National Pan-Hellenic members in October presented information about their chapters, such as their history, pictures and events, at a Panhellenic meeting. Members of both organizations also participated in a dance-a-thon earlier this month.
But despite the progress, obstacles remain. Jennifer Bacani, a member of Alpha Delta Pi, a traditional sorority with 140 members, including 15 minorities. She is a member of the Multicultural Resource Center's Diversity Peer Education Team, a group of students who teach others about diversity. Bacani she sent a letter to some of the traditional chapters offering to give a presentation on diversity, but only Pi Beta Phi sorority expressed interest.
Even with the struggles, Angie Carr said she was pleased by the efforts at improving understanding.
"In the past, the three councils haven't done a lot together." Curr said. She said that each council now had a liaison, a member who attended the meetings of the other councils, and that another diversity program wasn't needed now that GRAED was in place.
"Putting another program in the mix for diversity might be overprogramming." Carr said. "The bottom line is to learn to appreciate and value the differences each council has and also to enjoy the similarities."
Hitting brick walls
Andy Knopp. Manhattan sophomore and IFC president, could not explain why more minorities didn't join traditional Greek units. He said he was open to ideas to recruit minorities.
He said minorities needed to know that they could join traditional KU fraternities and sororites and succeed.
"Part of it is recruitment and education," said Knopp, a Theta Chi member. "It has to be something where we have to seek them out. We really need to take the first step. It can be difficult to do and tough for a group to recruit them."
"Minorities in them already can be our strongest recruiters because they can relate to people." Knopp said.
Danny Vallejos, Prairie Village senior and Latino member of Sigma Chi, said his house had five minorities out of 85 members.
"We get names through networking," he said. "But by networking, we keep

getting White people. The pool we grab people out of isn't diverse."
people out that he was a priority. He said in his fraternity it wasn't a priority to bring in ethnic members but that it had been discussed.
Bacani said the high cost to join a traditional fraternity or sorority might be one reason why few minorities pledged or rushed.
The average cost to join, which includes one-time fees and an initiation pin, is $360 for a fraternity and $1,481 for a sorority. For those who live in a house, the average yearly cost for room and board is $4,550 for fraternities and $4,503 for sororities. By comparison, it costs $4,348 a year to live in the residence halls. Fraternity members who live outside their houses spend an average of $700 a year to stay in their chapels, while sorority members spend an average of $1,136. Those costs may include a live-out fee to cover maintenance, social dues and occasional meals.
Bob McKenney, Clinton, Mo., senior, and former president of Alpha Tau Omega, said his fraternity recruited members from a list of potential members IFC compiled of high school seniors interested in joining a KU fraternity. He said fraternity members would eat dinner with recruits and take them bowling or to KU football games.
"It we think they fit in well, then we stay in contact," McKenney said.
McKenney said a five-member recruitment committee in his fraternity decided by majority vote who could be potential members.
"We look for guys who are strong in grades and know how to balance their time and studies," he said.
His fraternity, which has one Vietnamese and one Hispanic out of 40 members, does not discriminate when choosing members, but does not specifically recruit minorities either he said.
"We don't know their ethnicity until we meet them. There are advantages to it," he said about recruiting minorities. "When

David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, said all student groups should think about diversifying themselves, including fraternities and sororites.
A personal choice
"It's an enriching factor to any group." Amber said, refusing to single out fraternities and sororites for their lack of diversity.
He said many such groups now wanted to integrate, but hadn't succeeded.
to integrate.
"I think the unique thing today is that groups who at one time wanted to maintain a single racial membership now are open to trying to diversify." Ambler said. Minorities "are really not interested in joining because their own groups are interested in maintaining themselves. There's not a lot of encouragement, for example, for African Americans to join groups that are primarily Caucasian."
Robert Page, director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, said the traditional fraternities and sororites were trying to reach out more to get students of color to join, but social class and status were factors that worked against them.
them.
"They also need to be more sensitive," he said. "If you talk to a student from a predominantly Black area, they may not be interested. It depends on what the values and norms are. And there's small pickings for people to choose from." he said about KU's small Black population.
*Making a difference*
Kenya Proctor, the only Black member of Theta Chi, said he persuaded his fraternity brothers to learn more about African Americans during Black History Month last February.
"My fraternity did nothing with Black History Month until I got involved," said Proctor, a Jackson, Miss., senior.
He said at every chapter meeting, members learned about Black leaders and a history-related event for that month, but he said he got subtle signals from some members that they weren't really interested.
"It was a real sensitive subject," he said. "Most people didn't like it but because they didn't want to be racial, they put up with it."
He said that, when he was assistant recruitment chair last year, he had a list of minorities he tried to recruit, but none chose to pledge the fraternity.
“it's kind of discouraging.” Proctor said. “I would love to see more minorities in my fraternity. It's hard to recruit if I am the only one.”
He said when he was first recruited, he felt like he was a quota of one to make the house diverse.
Proctor said his presence has helped break down stereotypes. He said one friend was upfront with stereotypes about Blacks driving garish Cadillacs and playing loud music with deep bass.
and playing with the TV. "What they see on TV is not necessarily true," Proctor said he explained to his friend.
Eddie Penn said attitudes had definitely changed toward allowing minorities to join. He recalls how one alumnus from his fraternity told him that some Beta Theta Pi members wanted then KU basketball star Wilt Chamberlain to join. The proposal died when other members objected to inviting a Black to pledge.
"It shows things have changed a lot," said Penn, who would love to see other Black faces join his fraternity's photo gallery of members.

Professor preparing to publish book about Latin-American women writers
Mary W. Cockrum
Vicky Unruh will soon publish a book on Latin American women writers. The associate professor of Spanish and Portuguese researched her subject while on sabbatical and financed her research with grants, including one for $24,000.
CHRIS BURKET/KANSAN
By Eve Lamborn Kansan staff writer
After spending a year doing research while on sabbatical last year, Vicky Unruh, associate professor of Spanish and Portuguese, is preparing to publish a book about Latin American women writers.
Unruh spent months last year digging through libraries looking for Latin American journals from the 1920s and 1930s, which would give her clues about women during this period who tried to break into male-dominated literary circles.
"I really like the detective part of academic work — I really enjoy the digging," she said. "I have a hunch, and I follow the trail."
She discovered that these women were often left out of the literary circles in which men moved. To carve their way into this world, women resorted to performing their art, sometimes in the form of dramatic poetry or singing.
"They gained access to public cultural life through performance," she said.
Unruh said her book, which examined the careers of 11 women, would be the first comprehensive study on Latin American women writers in this time period. She said she wasn't sure when the book would be published, but said it was almost done.
Unruh grew up in Puerto Rico and learned to speak Spanish when she was 4 years old. She majored in history in college, but spent two years in the Peace Corps in Guatemala after graduating.
Guatemala after graduating She said the experience was extremely profound in renewing her interest in Latin America. She then spent time working for Hispanic literacy, took a course in Hispanic literature and decided she was hooked on the topic.
She financed her book research through grants from within KU and through a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Danny Anderson, chairman of the department of Spanish and Portuguese, said the grant, which had a $30,000 maximum, was the largest individual award in the humanities.
Unrhn said her grant was for $24,000. "It's one of the most prestigious fellowships offered for scholarly research in the humanities," Anderson said. "It underscores extremely original and path breaking research."

Unruh said her grant was for $24,000.
Event No.2 raises $500 for United Way
By Jeremy Clarkson Kansan staff writer
Members of E-Double entertained about 80 people Friday night at a benefit concert for Rock Chalk Revue to raise money for the United Way of Douglas County.
The concert raised $500 at Fatso's, 1016 Massachusetts St., and was the second of a series of fund-raisers organized by the revue board.
The Rock Chalk Revue performance will be March 7 through March 9,2002, at the Lied Center.
The first fund-raiser by the
revue was a Karaoke Night at Abe & Jake's Landing, E. 8. Sixth St., which raised more than $1,100.
Molly Whitehair, Abilene senior, fund-raising chairwoman for the revue, said the board didn't have a set amount of money to raise, but last year it donated $50,000 to United Way.
$30,600 to United
She said she asked E-Double to play because she had seen the rock band perform in the past and enjoyed listening to them.
She said the concert was entertaining.
Brian Gaddie, Omaha, Neb. graduate student and band member, said E-Double had been playing together for the three
years. Gaddie, who plays bass in the band, said he enjoyed the opportunity to help raise money for the United Way.
"It's for a noble cause," he said. Amber Wilson, Beloit senior, said she had never heard E-Double play before.
Wilson said she went with other members of her sorority, Alpha Delta Pi and wanted to help raise money for the United Way.
"I was excited to listen to them," Wilson said.
Jasmin Steven, Wichita senior, said she had listened to an E-Double album during the summer. She said she was excited to
go to the concert and to help support the United Way.
Whitehair said the revue board planned more fund-raisers for next semester.

She said she was thinking of doing a duck race, where students could pay money to buy a rubber duck, which would be put in a river with other ducks. The first duck to cross the finish line would win an undetermined prize, she said.

year's Day in Killeen, Oregon's Mike Bellotti, who rarely shows anger on or off the field, fumed at the BCS rankings, calling them a "travesty."
"I liken the BCS to a bad disease, like cancer," he said before the Ducks' practice in Eugene. "Not to take anything away from Nebraska
The second-ranked Ducks (10-1, No. 4 BCS) will meet the third-ranked Buffaloes (10-2, No.3) in the Fiesta Bowl. And judging by the coaches' reaction yesterday, the teams should be ready to take out their frustrations on each other New Year's Day in Tempe, Ariz.
Colorado, Oregon criticize rankings
The Associated Press
Both feeling jilted by the system, Oregon and Colorado will get their chance to prove that the BCS computer brain had its wires crossed by choosing Nebraska instead of them.
or Colorado — they're great football teams — but one has two losses and the other didn't win their conference championship. We're No. 2 in both polls, but those things don't have a lot of merit, obviously."
Colorado coach Gary Barnett couldn't understand how Nebraska, which was thrashed 62-36 by the Buffaloes in Boulder on Nov. 23, could be ranked ahead of his team.
"It's hard to be gracious at this moment." Barnett said.
There could be more at stake than just a philosophical debate over the embattled BCS system when Oregon and Colorado play. Should Nebraska, ranked fourth in the Associated Press and coaches' polls but No. 2 in the BCS, beat consensus No. 1 Miami in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 3, the 72 voters in the AP poll could choose the Fiesta winner as the
national champion. The coaches are obliged to cast their vote for the Rose Bowl winner.
"Absolutely," he said. "I'm always the eternal optimist, thinking of possible ways to kind of sneak in the back door here. But I think we had a great season, and I do think we have a shot, a legitimate claim to possibly be playing in Pasadena."
Asked whether the Fiesta winner should be crowned the champion if Nebraska pulls off the upset, Oregon quarterback Joey Harrington didn't hesitate.
The only blemish for Oregon, the Pac-10 champion, was a 49-42 loss to Stanford on Oct. 20 in which the Cardinal blocked two pints in the fourth quarter and scored 21 straight points.
The Ducks responded with four consecutive wins, but they moved up just one spot in the BCS over the
.
rmat three weeks, even after five teams ranked ahead of them lost.
"I know we could play with Miami," said Oregon tight end Justin Peele.
Colorado perhaps has a stronger case: The Buffs played a tougher schedule than Oregon, and their only defeats came to Fresno State and Texas. After beating Nebraska, they avenged the Texas loss with a 39-37 victory over the Longhorns in the Big 12 title game.
"They say the computer is right," Colorado running back Bobby Purity said. "We're just going to have to go out and play well against Oregon and prove to the nation how good we really are."
When the final BCS standings came out, however, the Cornhuskers were ahead of Colorado by a mere five hundredths of a point.
Nebraska to play in Rose Bowl, not Colorado
The Associated Press
Nebraska will play for a national title after all.
In an astounding turn certain to send out a cry for a playoff or changes in the Bowl Championship Series, the Cornhuskers squeezed into second place over Colorado in the final BCS standings yesterday.
Even though the Buffaloes routed the Huskers 62-36 three weeks ago, Nebraska won the points battle that counted most and will play undefeated Miami in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 3.
Thanks to LSU's 31-20 upset of Tennessee in Saturday night's Southeastern Conference title game, the Huskers were the BCS computer's choice — by a scant five hundredths of a point. A win by the Vols would have sent them to Pasadena instead.
In the final ranking, Miami finished first with 2.62 points, Nebraska second with 7.23 points, Colorado third at 7.28 and Oregon fourth with 8.67 points.
Solich said. "Anytime you don't have two clear-cut, undefeated teams, you're going to have controversy."
"Colorado and Oregon are great teams." Nebraska coach Frank
Nebraska (11-1) was No. 4 in both the AP media poll and the USA Today/ESPN coaches poll yesterday, but held a sizable edge over No. 2 Oregon (10-1) and No. 3 Colorado (10-2) in the computer portion of the BCS formula.
The final margin was so close that if the Buffaloes were one spot higher in any of the computer ratings they would have been off to the Rose Bowl instead of the Huskers.
The BCS standings were devised by SEC commissioner Roy Kramer in 1998 in hopes of ensuring that the top two teams play for a national title. The rankings use a formula that incorporates the AP media and the coaches polls, eight computers, strength of schedule, won-lost record and bonus points for big wins.
The bonus award — new this season — is based on a sliding scale from 1.5 points for beating a first-place team down to .1 for a win over
the 15th-place team. The bonus is awarded after the other elements are calculated.
Heisman Trophy winner Eric Crouch and the Huskers, in fact, didn't even win their conference — Colorado took the Big 12. But Nebraska will go to the Rose Bowl as an at large team, the first time that's happened in the BCS' four-year history. The winner of that game is automatically crowned the coaches' champion.
"How you're playing at this point — seems to me that should be thought of." Colorado coach Gary Barnett said.
Oregon and Colorado will play in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 1, with the possibility of split national champions with the winner claiming the No.1 ranking in the final AP poll.
AP voters will turn in their ballots right after the Rose Bowl, and all teams are eligible for the title.
"I think controversy comes into play when the final BCS standing differs from the AP poll and the coaches poll," BCS chairman John Swofford said. "With the kind of year
we had, you're going to have three. four or maybe five teams feeling they're as good as anybody in the country and should have a chance to play for the national championship."
The Ducks and Buffaloes seem to have legitimate gripes about being left out of the Rose.
■ Oregon won the Pac-10 Conference title and finished No. 2 in the polls, part of the BCS' complex method for determining its top teams.
Colorado took the Big 12 with a 39-37 upset of Texas on Dec. 1, a week after beating Nebraska, and finished No. 3 in the polls.
Tennessee's loss was a costly one, dropping the Vols (10-2) out of the BCS picture and into the Citrus Bowl against Michigan (8-3). If that wasn't enough, the Orange Bowl chose Florida (9-2) — 34-32 losers to the Vols on Dec. 1—to play Atlantic Coast Conference champion Maryland (10-1) on Jan. 2.
The Sugar Bowl will match SEC champion LSU (9-3) against Big Ten champion Illinois (10-1).

Arts center set to enliven Philly
PHILADELPHIA — Great expectations surround the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, the glittering new home of the Philadelphia Orchestra that opened Friday with a $5,000-per-ticket gala featuring Elton John.

The Kimmel's economic and cultural impact won't be known for years. But supporters say that new performing arts centers in cities such as Cleveland and Newark, N.J., have encouraged development, helped orchestras' bottom lines and cemented cultural reputations.
favored a new venue for resident performing companies as well as touring shows.
Critics aren't sure the benefits are worth the expense, noting that it's hard to establish a direct link between economic development and public works projects.
"There's a lot of excitement about the move. It's not that we choose to forget about our past, but symbolically it's an opportunity for new beginnings," said Richard Smoot, chairman of the Philadelphia Orchestra.
The city is counting on the $265 million Kimmel Center to create thousands of jobs, spur business and residential development, and attract a whole new audience to the theater district known as the Avenue of the Arts.
The Kimmel is poised to become one of the city's signature buildings.
The Rafael Vinoly-designed building features a see-through arched roof with 5,808 individual windows and two performance spaces; the 2,500-seat Verizon Hall and the 650-seat Perelman Theater.
The building itself isn't expected to be profitable for several years. State and local governments have contributed nearly $100 million to the Kimmel.
The arts center is part of a decade-long push to make Philadelphia a premier tourist destination. The city has seen hundreds of millions of dollars worth of development, including a new convention center and sports arena, thousands of new hotel rooms and a restaurant boom.
Officials say the Kimmel will create 3,000 jobs and generate $153 million in annual spending on tickets, parking, restaurants, hotels and the like.
The Kimmel Center project began in 1996 as two separate plans. The orchestra wanted a new home with better acoustics and more space, and then-Mayor Edward G. Rendell

Track team gets a peek at season
By Matt Norton Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas track and field team captured two victories at the Kansas State All Comers meet Friday.
Anson Jackson won the 60-meter hurdles in 8.09 seconds, and the women's 4x400-meter relay team of freshman Brooklyn Hann, sophomore Stacy Keller and seniors Shanetta March and Shamika McField, won with a time of 5.30.53.
In her debut for the Jayhawks,
Hann finished third in the triple
jump with a mark of 40 feet, 8.25
inches, placing her fourth on the
all-time KU indoor list. She also
finished fifth in the 60-meter hurdles in addition to running the opening leg of the victorious relay.
Athletes from 18 teams competed in the meet. No team scores were tallied.
Sophiomore Leo Bookman had practiced for just a week after finishing his duty with the football team this fall. Despite the lack of preparation, he tied for
second place out of 42 in the 60-meter dash with a personal-best time of 6.80 seconds. More impressive, however, was his 0:49.4 time on the second leg of the 4x400 relay.
Coach Stan Redwine said Bookman would get better as his track conditioning improved throughout the season.
"It looked like he didn't know what he was doing." Redwine said of the relay leg. "He wasn't sure of his fitness, so he didn't know how hard to go out. But he just competed really well."
Other top performers for Kansas were senior Jennie Wonder, who finished third in the 60-meter hurdles; freshman Sondra Rauterkus, who took third in the high jump; senior Derec Lacio, who placed third in the mile; and sophomore Steve Vockrodt, who had a second-place finish in the 1,000 meters.
The meet was a learning experience for several Jayhawks who were making their first appearance in a college track meet.
and Jeremy Mims opened their college careers with what turned out to be a physical 800-meter run.
Freshmen Brandon Hodges
Hodges finished third and Hodges 16th, in times that were far from their high school bests.
Redwine said the newcomers weren't used to getting bumped around on the tight, 200-meter track, but he expected them to show dramatic improvement in their next meet.
"With young guys, sometimes they're more concerned with bumping than running their own race," Redwine said. "They're still learning what it's like running on small tracks indoors."
Even for experienced fifth-year senior Ashley Pyle, the first meet of the year was frustrating. She finished fourth in the pole vault with a leap of 10 feet. 11.75 inches. Her personal best is 11 feet. 8 inches.
But she and coach Brian Ferry thought she was on her way to a big season. She said some of the technical aspects of her jumping were developing well, and she
cleared 11 feet, 8 inches by a considerable margin in practice.
Pyle said she was stuck between using two different-sized poles — one she can bend too much, which doesn't allow her to get enough recoil from the pole to throw her over the bar the other she can't bend enough
"Coach Ferry has been saying, Just be patient, it's technical," Pyle said. "But I'm a lot further ahead of where I was last year."
The team will meet for practice early this week before being given time off to study for finals. The Jayhawks will work out on their own during winter break and reconvene Jan. 6 to prepare for the Missouri Invitational on Jan. 11 in Columbia, Mo.
Redwine said he saw some encouraging performances Friday.
"When I compare the results of the returning athletes to what they did at this meet last year, I think everyone did better," he said.

Swim team dominates road meets
By Jeremy Giles Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas swimming and diving team improved to 5-1 in dual meet competition with two convincing victories Friday and Saturday.
The Jayhawks defeated Colorado State 177.5-122.4 Friday, Juniors Beth Schryer and Gwen Haley led the Jayhawks to victory in Fort Collins, Colo., each capturing individual wins. Schryer won the 1,000-meter freestyle and the 500-meter freestyle. Haley claimed victory in the 200-meter fly and the 400-meter individual medley.
Haley attributed her performance to her team's desire.
"We were really ready to compete," Haley said. "After not competing for over a month, you reach that point that you just really want to compete. We had just driven a long way and we really wanted to make our trip worthwhile."
Freshman Aly Colver, senior Carrie Kirkham and freshman Miranda Isaac also won individual events in the 200-meter freestyle, 100-meter freestyle and 200-meter breaststroke respectively.
In the relay portion of the meet, Kansas's 400-meter freestyle relay team, consisting of Kirkham, freshman Amy Gruber, freshman Jackie Krueger and senior Carolyn Horwitz, won with a time of 3:32.65. In the diving portion of the meet, senior Rebecca McFall won the 3-meter competition with a score of 310.88.
On Saturday, the team traveled
to Laramie, Wyo., to battle Wyoming. Kansas claimed all 10 events on its way to a 150.5-69.5 victory.
victory. "We really dominated today," said coach Cathy Burgess. "This is a good way to close out the semester, and the ladies are excited about coming back for the second half of the season.
Haley continued her stellar weekend with two more individual wins in the 200-meter individual medley and the 500-meter freestyle.
frosty.
"It was very surprising," Haley said. "I understand that dual meets are won by whoever shows up, but a blow out was surprising."
The Jayhawks reasserted their distance prowess with one-twothree finishes in two distance events. The Jayhawks captured
the top three spots in the 500-
meter and 1,000-meter freestyle
Amy Gruber continued to establish herself as one of the team's top freshmen with two more victories in the 200-meter freestyle and the 100-meter fly.
Krueger won the 100-meter freestyle, and sophomore Whitney Sondall took first place in the 100 backstroke.
In the diving portion of the meet, McFall and senior Patti Stringham brought home a one-twoin finish on the 3-meter board.
Kansas won't see action again until Jan. 13 when it takes on Texas A&M in College Station, Texas. The Jayhawks were defeated by the Aggies last season, 154.5-100.5.

Raiders bumble but still slip past Chiefs
The Associated Press
OAKLAND Calif. — The stumbling, struggling Oakland Raiders barely survived yesterday with two surprising defensive stands and the return of a familiar punt returer.
Tim Brown ran 88 yards for a touchdown on his first punt return in three years, and Regan Upshaw forced Trent Green's fumble on a 2-point conversion with 1:38 left as the Raiders (9-3) topped the Kansas City Chiefs 28-26.
But with big plays from Brown and Upshaw, the
Raiders survived a series of blunders, widening their division lead and continuing to move toward the playoffs.
Leading 28-20, Oakland stopped the Chiefs at the 4-yardline with 3:03 to play when Charles Woodson broke up a fade pass to Derrick Alexander in the end zone on fourth down.
But Raiders quarterback Rich Gannon fumbled with 1:49 left while stretching for a first down that would have allowed the Raiders to run out the clock.
Trent Green, who passed for 253 yards and two scores, hit Tony Gonzalez for a 24-yard
touchdown 11 seconds later. But on the 2-point conversion,
Upshaw beat Kansas City's line around the left side and put a big hit on Green, causing a tumble that sealed a nail-biter for Oakland.
Despite a spectacular game from Priest Holmes, who rolled up 277 total yards while surpassing the 1,000-yard rushing mark with his fifth 100-yard game, the Chiefs (3-9) were handed their fourth loss in six games.
Holmes rushed for 168 yards and a touchdown, and caught five passes for 109 yards and
another score.
Oakland countered with big plays — and none was bigger than Brown's touchdown return. Brown hadn't returned a punt since 1998, but he was handed the job when the Raiders cut David Dunn for the overtime fumble that led to Arizona's winning field goal last week.
Jerry Rice became the first NFL receiver to amass more than 20,000 yards receiving when he made a 9-yard catch late in the second quarter. He finished with five catches for 57 yards and a score.

'Big Seven all deserve big minutes
Another Monday. Another opportunity to savor a Kansas victory from the past weekend. I could get used to this.
But there are more pressing issues at hand than rehashing a routine 79-68 victory against the University of Missouri-Kansas City. With each passing game, it becomes increasingly evident that Kansas coach Roy Williams is facing perhaps his toughest coaching challenge since coming to Kansas in 1988.
Whether Kansas cuts down the nets at the end of a championship season doesn't depend on the performance of any individual player (except maybe Brett Ballard if he gets on a roll). Kansas' success or failure rests solely on the shoulders of its coach. Williams is the secret ingredient to a Kansas national championship. Period.
If Williams coaches well, Kansas is a lock for the Final Four. I'd bet my college education on it.
Unlike previous years, this Kansas team contains seven players capable of making big plays. There's Jeff Boschee, Kirk Hinrich, Drew Gooden, Nick Collison, Aaron Miles, Wayne Simien and Keith Langford. Each has the ability to catch fire and light up the scoreboard at any given time.
Williams cannot afford to keep any of them out of the game. Unfortunately, the official NCAA rule book states that each team is allowed a maximum of five players on the court at one time. Do a little simple math and you'll find that two Kansas players with big-play ability will be off the floor at all times.
That's where Williams comes in. He must devise a substitution plan that keeps the right players in the lineup at the right times. Williams must substitute in a way that gives all seven of the Jayhawks' potential superstars a chance to excel.
Previous Kansas teams, even the most talented, never had this many players who deserved to be on the floor. A case can be made that each of Kansas' "Big Seven" players deserve more playing time than they are getting, especially Simien, a freshman forward who has scored in double figures in both regular-season games he has played in. He scored 13 points in 16 minutes against UMKC and 10 points in 15 minutes last Wednesday against Wake Forest.
Simien certainly deserves more minutes, but he's playing behind experienced juniors Collison and Gooden.
Williams could go with a three-forward lineup, but then Miles wouldn't get as much playing time at guard. And what about Langford? He scored 19 points and showed tremendous ability in Kansas' big win against Arizona on Dec. 1. He needs more minutes to further hire his skills to compete at the Division I level.
Ensuring that all of Kansas' talented players receive ample playing time won't be easy. If Williams can't devise a substitution plan that provides enough minutes for each of the "Big Seven" players to reach his full potential, Kansas won't win its first national championship since 1988.

Jayhawks disrupted but still victorious
ALYA'S

Kansan sportswriter
Kansas guard Jeff Boschee looks for an entry pass as a UMKC guard defends. Kansas defeated UMKC 79-69 Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.
The University of Missouri-Kansas City's defense pestered and annoyed the No.4 Kansas men's basketball team Saturday night like no other opponent had this season.
The Kangaroos attempted to stymie the up-tempo Jayhawk game by primarily playing a 2-3 zone. UMKC employed the zone, hoping to force the Jayhawks to shoot from the outside, instead of pounding the ball in to junior forwards Nick Collison and Drew Gooden.
The previously undefeated Kangaroos succeeded in frustrating the Jayhawks, but they wouldn't prevail on the scoreboard.
scoreboard.
Senior guard Jeff Boschee led five Jayhawk players in double figures and matched his season-high with 19 points as 6-1 Kansas shook off pesky 5-1 UMKC 79-68 at Allen Fieldhouse.
Kansas coach Roy Williams complimented the Kangaroos for the test.
"It's a tough kind of game because they control tempo at both ends of the court," Williams said. "They'll take some time off on the offensive end and take time off when they play defense because the zone they play tends to normally make sure you don't get quick shots."
the second half. Junior guard Kirk Hinrich penetrated UMKC's scrambling zone for most of the night, which created shooting opportunities for his teammates. Hinrich dished eight assists in addition to his 15 points and eight rebounds.
Kansas finished the game shooting 50 percent from the field despite connecting on only five of 20 three-pointers and posting a 35.7 shooting percentage in the second half.
"They were flying at us so it made it easy to get it in the middle of the zone," Hinrich said. "I don't know how I'd grade how we did against it, but we did a pretty good job getting it in the middle."
The first half turned out to be a wake-up call for the Jayhawks. The first eight minutes passed and no one seemed to
notice. Kansas players lethargically tossed up shots as they got out to an 11-10 lead. Then, Kansas woke up.

Gooden scored six points, two of them with a dunk on an alley-oop pass from Hinrich, in a 15-3 spurt. Kansas built a 13-point lead that dipped below double digits only once the remainder of the game.
Gooden finished with another double-double, his fifth this season, recording 13 points and 10 rebounds. Collison and freshman forward Wayne Simien each added 13 points for Kansas.

Kansas defense steps up against UMKC
By Ali Brox
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas men's basketball coach Roy Williams didn't expect his team to be as motivated to play its game Saturday night against Missouri-Kansas City as it was for games against Arizona and Wake Forest, but the Jayhawks didn't let it show on the defensive end.
UMKC had averaged just 8.4 turnovers per game, the least amount in the country, but committed 18 miscues against the Jayhawks. And for the second straight game, Kansas' opponent didn't shoot any free throws in the first
half. The Kangaroos shot only eight free throws the entire contest, making five.
"Well, they're not going to shoot many free throws," said Williams, referring to Jajhawks' 79-68 victory. "They're shooting so many jump shots, and you shouldn't foul guys shooting jump shots."
UMKC sophomore guard Michael Watson was the player taking most of those jumpers. He finished the game 12 of 26 from the field, including 5 of 13 from behind the three-point line.
Watson led all scorers with 29 points, tying his career best.
Despite putting on an offensive display, Watson was very complimentary of the Kansas defense, especially Jayhawk point guards Aaron Miles and Kirk Hinrich.
Roy Williams
"They have great one-on-one ball pressure." Watson said. "Hinrich and Miles are great defenders, so my hat's off to them."
Hinrich had the responsibility of
guarding Watson for most of the second half. Williams said he was pleased with Hinrich's performance.
"Defensively, he was really good," Williams said. "In eight previous games, Kirk's been the defensive player of the game six out of the eight games."
The Kangaroos only shot 43.5 percent from the field. A Kansas opponent hasn't shot more than 50 percent from the field all season.
Weber State stings Kansas women on Saturday
Contact Brox at 864-4858
By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter
The absence of three key reserve players on the Jayhawk roster was evident Saturday afternoon as the Kansas women's basketball team fell to Weber State, extending the Jayhawks' losing streak to three games.
The Jayhawks (3-6) scored a seasonlow 48 points and lost 51-48 to the Wildcats (4-4). Kansas turned over the ball 26 times and was out-rebounded 24-8 on the offensive glass by a smaller Weber
State team.
reasons.
"That was a big blow to the squad, but I really feel that we as coaches are here to do more than coach a game," said Kansas coach Marian Washington. "We have to depend on a certain work ethic and, most definitely, a certain type of attitude, and they slipped. I wanted to make

sure that it was crystal clear that it is the only standard we are going to have."
In the first half, Kansas came out firing, building a 16-3 lead early in the contest. Weber State reacted with a 23-10 run to tie the score at 26.
"They took advantage of us slacking off because we thought it was going to be easy," said senior Selena Scott.
easy, said senior coach Kansas never regained its offensive production. Nearly seven minutes passed in the second half before the Jayhawks scored. The two teams went basket for basket until Kansas led 48-47
with 3:45 left to play. Weber State led by three with 16 seconds to play, but the Jayhawks failed to execute on their last possession.
Scott led Kansas with 16 points while grabbing four assists and four rebounds. Hilgenkamp tallied 11 points, five assists and five rebounds.
Freshman Blair Waltz came off the bench and scored seven points and had five rebounds and two steals.

Bar, strip club waitresses fed-up with treatment
By Louise Stauffer Kansan correspondent
The emotions in Mary Zaus' voice wavered between humor and relief as she spoke about her three-week stint as a cocktail waitress at Bada Bing. The humor was because of the brevity of her employment there, the relief was because she quit.
Zaus, former University of Kansas student, said she applied for her job at the Bing as a "joke."
"We were sitting in Chipotle eating a burrito and read an ad that said they were hiring, so we decided to check it out," she said.
She had no idea she would be leaving so quickly.
Zaus's position as a cocktail waitress entailed serving drinks to customers. However, after being hired, one night a manager announced to the customers over a microphone that Zaus and the other cocktail waitresses would do body shots with the customers.
A body shot is when someone drinks or licks their alcohol from another's body, often in suggestive places. Zaus had not been consulted about that decision, and refused to participate.
Michael Bowdre, manager of
Bada Bing, 913 N Second St., said the employee who made the announcement was no longer employed at Bada Bing, partly because of that incident.
"No cocktail waitress is required to do body shots with the customers," Bowdre said. He said the decision was up to the individual's discretion.
"Some of them want to because it helps them make more money," he said.
Zaus left Bada Bing after her third week of employment because of the body shot incident.
"After that night I just never went back," she said.
Many women who are strip club or cocktail waitresses feel they receive treatment that doesn't match their job descriptions. They say sexism and objectification are common attitudes towards those who work as waitresses in strip clubs or bars.
Women's studies lecturer Kathryn Libal said there was a question of equality for jobs in strip clubs or bars.
"The question is, at how many places are there men serving shots to a bunch of women?" Libal said. "That's definitely a
sign of the exploitation of women."
Many women who work in jobs where they are required to dress as a sex symbol said they did it for the money.
Lisa Hudson, St. Louis senior worked as a shot girl at Jack Flannigans Bar & Grill, 806 W. 24th St., from January 2000 to September 2001. Hudson said she took the job after Dannie Thompson, the manager of Flannigans, approached her at a bar and asked her to apply.
"I used the job as a means to get money, and when I got tired of it I quit." Hudson said.
She said she knew what she was getting into when she started her job at Flannigans.
"It was more funny than anything else. These guys had no idea of what or who I was outside of work."
Hudson said her job at Flannigans made her feel unappreciated by manager Thompson.
by manager.
"I was working so hard to make him money and he didn't appreciate it," she said. He knew that 1,000 girls would take my job in an instant if I left."
Working as a waitress at a bar or a strip club often requires a different work uniform than working as a waitress at a restaurant.
Zaus said Bada Bing required that all waitresses don a black skirt, white shirt and high-heels while working. Hudson said that at Flannigans she was encouraged to wear sexy, trendy clothes.
"After a while, I got tired of having to dress up every time I worked," Hudson said. "After I stopped dressing up, the tips decreased."
Flannigans owner Dannie Thompson said waitresses were hired mostly based on experience.
cense. "I want the waitresses to have an aggressive personality," Thompson said.
Scott Bentley, general manager at Emerson Biggins, 3512 Clinton Parkway, said although the name of the restaurant may have lead people to think the waitresses were hired based on looks, that wasn't the case.
"The name has nothing to do with physical attractiveness," he said. "It's a joke with us, and it always has been. We have 30 oz. beers here. Everything is bigger."
"I think it's more gender-based than anything. It's more like a sex rule," she said. "The guys are the bouncers, and the girls are the waitresses."
Misty Thomas, Wakefield sophomore and waitress at Emerson Biggins, said she didn't think waitresses were hired on looks.
Bentley said that while no male servers were employed at the restaurant, they were welcome to apply.
"We had several guy servers in Wichita," he said.
Michael Bowdre, manager of Bada Bing, said looks weren't all that mattered when he hired a waitress.
"I want a girl that knows how to sell, and that will sit down and talk to the customers," Bowdre said. "You need to have a personality because that will sell more drinks."
Bowdre said that as long as the applicant had a good personality, he would hire them.
"If you're ugly, sure, I'll give you a shot," he said.
At Jack Flannigans, a partylike atmosphere was encouraged for the employees as well as the customers. Hudson said the management encouraged the waitresses to flirt and take shots with the customers.
"If something was bought for us, they wanted us to drink it, because that was another sale."
she said.
Thompson, Flannigans owner, said drinking while working was against policy for the waitresses.
"Otherwise I would have a bunch of trashed waitresses," he said.
said.
Although Hudson said many of the other waitresses in the bar side of Jack Flammans drank and flirted with the customers, she said that wasn't her thing.
"For the other waitresses work was a party," she said. "For me it was strictly a job, but the other girls would get hammered at work every day."
Hudson said working in a job where one was valued by physical appearance above anything else made the worker easily replaceable.
"Being in a college town with a lot of young, attractive girls, it's hard. There are always girls who are willing to show more and do more," Hudson said.
Zaus also speculated that it was easy for the employers at Bada Bing to hire women.
"I think that they have a really high turnover rate," she said.
Transgendered student finds identity through friends, activities, technology

KU Queers and Allies co-director to undergo physical changes soon
By Lauren Airey
Kansan correspondent
Although physically a girl, Snow refers to himself using male pronouns and considers himself a man. He is a female-to-male transsexual.
At an early age, C.J. Snow knew he was a boy. Unfortunately, his parents were still attached to the idea of having their little girl wear pink dresses
"I knew I was a boy by the second grade. In 1988, though, I knew it wasn't a cool thing to say. I didn't say it again until 14 years later," said Snow, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, freshman.
As a teen-ager, Snow presented himself as a bisexual and then a lesbian. Although his core group of friends were supportive, his high school and his family were not. He was raised in a Mormon household, and his parents did not accept his male identity.
identify. Now, his younger brother is supportive of his lifestyle, but his other brother and sister are not. Snow is not allowed contact with his nephews and recently cut off all contact with his parents.
"In high school, I told my friends that I was gay, and I had a girlfriend." Snow said. "My friends were supportive, but my parents were very much against it. They are still Mormon, and I'm not at liberty to call them my parents."
Snow arrived in Lawrence in 1907
He became involved in KU Queers and Allies, an organization for gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transsexuals. In his first year, he was the speaker bureau coordinator. Last year, Snow felt secure enough to come out as a man.
At the beginning of this semester, he was voted co-director, where he oversees subcommittees, serves as a soundboard and is on the Pride Week events committee.
Snow has received mixed reactions from students and professors since August. Many of his classes are small.
"I haven't experienced any outright discrimination, but I've had some problems with professors." Snow said. "I know that most of them intend to be respectful, but sometimes they don't remember to call me by the proper pronouns or someone will call me Miss. If they do that, I just don't respond."
To complete his transition from female to male, Snow said he hoped to have a bilateral mastectomy — where the breast tissue is removed, and the nipple size is reduced to form a male chest — before the end of next year. The surgery will cost between $4,000 and $8,000.
Because Kansas law does not require a penis to be considered legally male, Snow does not want to have penis construction surgery until the technology is more advanced.
"Penis construction can cost $50,000, and with the technology right now, I've been told that I could never experience an orgasm again. I plan on having one if I have the financial

resources and they're safe," Snow said.
Snow is prepared to begin the physical transition from female to male in January. He will begin his testosterone injections and start going through puberty. His puberty will take about three years. As with any male puberty, Snow will experience physical changes. His friends will capture the transition on video for a personal documentary.
"My feet and hands will grow. I will grow whiskers, my voice will deepen, and I'll develop a more masculine distribution of body fat and muscle." Snow said. "My facial structure will shift so that my browline and my jaw are more defined. My metabolism will increase and my sex drive will sky-rocket."
Even without the legal recognition, Snow is secure in his identity as a man.
Snow is secure if it has only identity. "Being a man is not my only identity, but it's the only identity that I have to fight for," he said. "It's only an issue because people make it an issue."

Distance no obstacle for true love
By Stephen Schmidt
Kansan correspondent
Some students find the perfect girlfriend or boyfriend on campus. For some, however, meaningful relationships are miles and miles away.
"Distance doesn't really matter," said Lizzy Pajl, Yankton, S.D., freshman. "You find different ways to make it work."
Pajl spends about 30 minutes each night talking to her boyfriend, Walt Wilson, a junior at Augustana College in Sioux Falls, S.D., approximately 400 miles away.
The two met last June and have been in constant contact since, talking on the phone or making the 5 1/2-hour trip to visit each other.
"You've got to keep in touch," Wilson said. "You've got to write and talk often. We use a lot of communication."
When Wilson and Paijl meet face to face, they use every minute of their time together to keep their relationship strong.
"When we're together, we try to do different fun activities," Pajl said. "We try different meals, and we go to different exotic places. We just do a variety a things, and we're always together."
together. The couple has canoeed down the Missouri River and camped in Manitoba, Canada. For New Year's Eve, they plan to be at Times Square in New York City.
Despite the distance between them, both Pajl and Wilson remain committed to each other.
"Unless you're really committed, it's not going to work," Wilson said.
Lawrence senior Lindsay Viner and her boyfriend, Jason Marck, live two time zones apart. Marck lives in Los Angeles.
"The only way we could survive is just by talking to each other every day." Viner said.
Viner and Marck were good friends when Marck lived in Lawrence. It wasn't until he moved to Los Angeles, and Viner flew west to catch up with an old friend, that they officially became a couple. Since then, they have talked every day.
Viner knows skeptics of long distance relationships abound, but she's not one of them.
they have talked every time "If you can't communicate with each other on a daily basis, it's not a relationship." Viner said.
"It's always hard because people said it will never work," she said. "But when it's right, you can make it work. I am a firm believer that if it's the right person at the right time, you can make it work."

Contraceptive patch approved
By Joe Fitzgerald Special to the Kansan
Sexually active students who are concerned about unwanted pregnancy have a variety of contraceptive options, and more are soon to come.
The Food and Drug Administration approved the first contraceptive skin patch, called the Ortho Evra patch, in November. The Ortho-Evra patch emits the same hormones as birth control pills, and studies show it is just as effective in preventing pregnancy. Its manufacturer, OrthoMcNeil Pharmaceuticals, said Ortho-Evra would be available by prescription next year.
Until then, there are still a number of effective contraceptives available to students.
Kathy Guth, medical staff professional at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said students
were usually aware of available birth control methods.
Case Collard, Leavenworth junior, said Watkins did a good job of informing students.
"They're always out on Wescoe Beach handing out condoms and brochures," Collard said.
sald.
Guth said Watkins carried several methods of birth control, including intrauterine devices, or IUDs, and Norplant. IUDs are long-term contraceptives placed inside the uterus. They are about 99 percent effective. Norplant is a hormonal contraceptive that is surgically implanted into a woman's upper arm. Norplant is highly effective, with only .09 percent of women becoming pregnant in the first year of use. There are possible side effects, however, such as acne and ovarian cysts.
Other hormonal contraceptives, which include birth control pills and shots, are the most popular forms of protection. Watkins also offers barrier contraceptives, such as diaphragms, as well as over-the-counter products such as condoms and spermicide.

Roommates,sex a bad mix
By Megan McKenzie Kansan correspondent
CARICANSAM
During college, students might find themselves experimenting sexually, but living in a residence hall could put a damper on their sex lives.
When living with a roommate, it is important to communicate about sex in the room. Many roommates establish rules about what kind of hanky-panky can take place there.
Roommates living in dorms think it's important to communicate about sex in their rooms. A sock or a red ribbon hanging on the doorknob signifies that someone is engaging in sexual activity.
Some examples are putting a sock on the outside doorknob when naked bodies are inside, not having sex in the presence of the other roommate or agreeing that there will be no sex in the room at all.

Chris Lasister, Olathe sophomore, and his roommate came up with their own rule.
"Early on, we decided the only one getting nookie will be getting it in their own bed," he said.
But when the rules fail, sex lives result in shocking experiences for roommates. Just ask Christina Zarifa, Wichita sophomore and former Oliver Hall resident.
"One night I ran into my exboyfriend at The Hawk. We ended up going back to my dorm room and getting it on, on the floor," Zarifa said. "We were in a bit of a hurry because I knew my roommate would be back soon. The next day my roommate was cleaning the room and found a lovely little stain on her parents' Persian rug."
"Every time I come home, my roommate and his girl were in the bedroom having sex or showering together," he said. "One time I even walked in my room to find used condoms on my bed. This girl didn't even go to KU. She drove up here every

issues.
"Every time I come into my room, my roommate is trying to get his freak on with his 'friend' on my bed," Rosen said. "I always have to boot his ass off my bed. I don't know why he wants to do stuff on my bed."
Ian Fleming, an Olathe freshman who lives in Templin Hall, has had an entirely different sexual experience.
"Me and this girl were doing
the nasty on her birthday," Fleming said.
"Little did we know that her family was planning on coming up to surprise her that evening. They got the residence assistant to unlock the door so they could surprise her when she came home.
"When they opened the door, she was on top of me on the couch. I think her family got more of a birthday surprise."

Interracial couples seek approval hope to break down ethnic barriers
By Collin LaJoie Kansan correspondent
Melissa Holland, who is part African-American, was adopted by a Caucasian family. She has seen society's reaction to an interracial family first-hand, but she thinks attitudes are changing.
"It depends on the generation. I think the younger generation is much more open than even six years ago," said Holland, Iowa City, Iowa, sophomore. "When I was in junior high or even high school, you didn't date outside your race."
Though numbers have changed, an article in the November issue of Time magazine in 1997 reported that 57 percent of teens in the United States had dated someone of another race, as opposed to 17 percent in 1980.
"You see many more interracial marriages and a lot of mixed children than you did in the past," she said.
Holland said that change was visible.
According to a study published in the March 2001 issue of College Student Journal, 620 students at East Carolina University, which has student body of mostly Caucasians, were questioned about their beliefs about interracial dating.
Holland said people's perception of interracial dating is not simply based on skin color.
Of those surveyed, 49.6 percent said they were open to
"Being an average middle-class family, they were a little uncomfortable with my boyfriends because they couldn't identify with black culture—the different speech, culture and economic backgrounds," she said.
"... You didn't date outside your race."

involvement in an interracial relationship, and 24.2 percent said they had been in an interracial relationship.
For Joellen Wang, St. Louis sophomore, and Ryan Reed, Overland Park sophomore, race and ethnicity was not nearly as important as religion.
Wang, of Chinese heritage, is part of the first generation of her family to be born in the United States. Her family is not a traditional Chinese family but is relatively conservative and has a "Christian-Chinese mentality," she said, adding that her parents were open to almost anything.
JoEllen Wang, St. Louis sophomore, and Ryan Reed, Overland Park sophomore, said that in their parents' eyes, religion was much more important than racial issues. Wang is of Chinese heritage and Reed is Caucasian.
Reed, of Caucasian heritage, said when he told his parents about Wang, her race or ethnicity were not important, even though he had rarely been involved in interracial relationships in the past.
Wang said although people may have noticed the physical differences of those involved in interracial relationships, it was not a problem. Her boyfriend, Reed, agreed.
"First they asked if she was Christian, then they asked if she carried herself as a lady," he said.
"We're all human," he said.
Joane Nagel, professor of sociology and interim associate dean of social sciences, said that race, ethnicity, religion and economic status could affect society's view on interracial dating.
"Controversy depends on the audience. Usually, if parents are
involved, controversy can be generated," Nagel said.
"Sexuality magnifies those boundaries, Race, ethnicity and
Nagel also said that whenever a socially significant boundary was crossed sexually—as in dating, sex or marriage—extreme reactions might arise.

College, marriage coexist for some students
Bv Denene Brox
Kansan correspondent
Chaurice Jacobson, Lenexa senior, has been married for two-and-a-half years and says that there are good and bad sides to being a wife and a student.
College is a time of exploring and learning about yourself, and most students do not take a big life step such as marriage until after graduation. But some KU students decide to start sharing their lives in marriage during their college careers.
Lewis Walton, East St. Louis, Ill., senior, has been married to his wife, Eugenia, for seven years. He says it is hard to describe life as a married student.
"It's hard because I can't go to study groups at all hours of the night," Jacobson said. "My husband is totally understanding of that kind of thing, but I try not to do it too often because we don't get to see each other as it is with our different schedules."
"I am married first, a student second," Walton said. "My decisions affect my wife as much as they do me, so I have to be
responsible."
Jacobson says there are some major differences between being married and just having roommates.
"Marriage is not like having roommates because you can go weeks and barely see them. But if I don't see my husband because our schedules are opposite, it is a lot more difficult," Jacobson said.
"I miss out on the fun school stuff like partying, but that isn't what being a student is about. Marriage has made my life stable. I don't do all-nighters anymore. I
There are things that Jacobson wishes she could have participated in during her earlier college years that she didn't do because her marriage is more important.
Despite the tradeoffs, Jacobson says marriage is worth it.
"I wanted to go do study abroad in England for four weeks. We could have afforded to do it, but you can't just be gone from your husband for a month when you've only been married for a year," she said.
don't get up at 5 o'clock in the morning to try to finish reading something." she said.
Jacobson also said being married has helped her academically. She feels much more dedicated to school.
"Since I'm not taking out student loans to pay for classes, it's our money I'm spending, and that is a bigger deal. I don't want to do bad in school because studying takes time away from my husband, and if I fail, it's a waste of time," she said.
Jacobson feels more security being married. She enjoys having a partner who respects her dreams to pursue her Ph.D. That is security you cannot find in a roommate, she said.
"I didn't understand why people were hesitant about me getting married while I was still in school. They would say you can wait. "But then I'd be waiting till I was 30 to get married and that would be forever," lacobson said.
Jacobson says students who are getting married or thinking about marriage should find a

quiet place to study and set aside time for homework because married life could be distracting.
"It's the most significant commitment you will make in life," Walton said. "For some people, it will make school more difficult. If you are a responsible person and have a supportive spouse, being married can help."
Walton said students thinking about getting married while still attending college should make sure they were ready for the commitment.

Connect, and keep sex fresh
In a long-term relationship, you know what is going to happen when you hit the sack. There are, after all, only so many things you can do before things get repetitive — unless, of course, you have access to a Discover Platinum card and a whole lot of time.
The first time this happens, it's a bit strange. Suddenly you realize your relationship isn't new anymore. You know your partner, and he or she knows you. You've learned she likes to be spanked, he likes to watch you get yourself off. You're not shocked anymore.

The fact is, sex is sex — whether you've been together two minutes or 20 years. There are variations, different feelings
— certainly different outcomes to each event, with each partner, but the basic actions are the same.
but there is nothing like the feeling of finding that new, different magic of sex that happens between two people who know and love each other. There is something wonderful in knowing that person's love and passion are for you, and you only.
Connection replaces nervousness. Sparks come from mind and body. And it's this connection, this feeling of ease, that makes sex really, really good.
So good that not even Cuomo, or another rock star of your choice, could steal you away.

Student grounded in virginity
One of my first nights on the KU campus, walking past Strong Hall. I was told that as soon as a girl graduates a virgin, the bronze Jayhawk sculpture perched in front of the building will come to life and take flight.
Flying alloy isn't a very feasible scenario, but its concept demonstrates a popular belief: We're in college! Everyone is having sex!

But I must say that no, sex is not at the top of each weekend's priority list. I know that mine is a minority decision, but no matter. I am, by choice, a virgin. And I'm proud of it.
I am saving myself — my purity, if you will — for my husband-to-be. In that, our wedding night can be every bit as special as it is meant to be. In the right context, sex is a sacred thing, a gift meant to be taken seriously and not handed out unreservedly.
Saving myself for my future spouse is a beautiful thing. When I do have sex for the first time, it will be truly making love — love for life.
These decisions are based on my faith; I am a Christian. Brought up in the heart of Kansas (which I sometimes hesitate to admit), I come from a conscientious community where family, values and church are important parts of life.
Admittedly, I was ready to leave as soon as I could, but I am no less appreciative of the standards that were instilled in me there.
Tim Miller, professor of religious studies, said the increase in sexual promiscuity over the past century was due to today's accessibility to birth control, abortion, antibiotics, increased privacy and cars. Seemingly, society has been working toward fool-proof promiscuity.
But I am happy to hold a standard, to get the respect I do from boyfriends and to keep myself saved.
My abstinence isn't a life-long thing. I do plan to marry. Until then, though, I have complete surety in my choice.
And if I am one day responsible for the maiden flight of Strong Hall's bronze Jayhawk, good. I'd like that.

Search more than just genitalia for partner's sexual hot spots
By Louise Stauffer Kansan correspondent
"I don't have one spot, it's different with every person," she said. "I've had people find places that I didn't even know were there."
Anne Mergenmeier talked about her favorite spots—erogenous that is.
It's not just the neck, behind the ears, or even the genital areas that are guaranteed to make your partner go crazy with desire. The entire territory of the human body is ready to be explored, and each person's erogenous zone is bound to be different from the next
Dennis Dailey, professor of the Human Sexuality class, said there were no trickly places on the body — no place is less erogenous than the next.
Dailey said people were misinformed about erogenous zones by magazines such as Cosmopolitan, Playboy and Maxim.
"Our potential is full-bodied and rather remarkable." he said.
"A lot of men grow up reading Penthouse and think that all the information about erogenous zones works the same way for every woman," Dailey said. "One woman may enjoy having her earlobe sucked, while another woman will be like, 'What are you doing?'"
Dailey said people often believed certain spots on the body were more erogenous than others because of what they learned growing up.
"Men are taught that most of their sensation is located in the crotch, but they need to discover all of their other parts," Dalley said.
Daily said that assuming everyone was aroused in the same places was not only wrong, but also boring.
"If you want boring, stick with the genital areas," Dailey said. "Lots of times men will ask a woman, 'What do you like?' And her response is, 'I don't know.'"
Mergenmeier said she usually didn't tell her partners about her likes.
"Usually there's just not a lot of talking about sex," Morgenmeier said. "Some guys don't tell me what they like either."
Daily said if sexual partners weren't comfortable enough to discover and experiment with each other, it could lead to communication problems in long-term relationships.
He also said some people might think they had strange or unique preferences, but in reality their hot spots were not unusual at all.
"If you took a survey of sexual preferences, you would get a huge variety of things that people would really enjoy," he said. "It would be a really long list."
Students had mixed opinions about letting their sexual partners know where their erogenous zones were.
Adam Yarnevich, Kansas City, Kan., senior, said he usually didn't have to tell his sexual partner to pay attention to one of his favorite spots—his ears.
Matthew Perry, Chicago senior, said two spots really turned him on.
"The palm of my hand and my left nipple are places that I really like," Perry said.
"I don't say anything about the nipple because it's kind of weird," he said.
Perry said he would tell his sexual partner about his palms, but wouldn't say anything about his left nipple.
Sarah Dehart, Lawrence senior, said her tastes were a little different from other women.
"Unlike most women, I'm sensitive on my breasts everywhere except the nipples," she said.
Dehart said she and her partner usually discussed where they liked to be touched.
"We'll take time to explore and talk about what we like and what we don't like," she said. "Unless it's a really bad booty call."
Aphrodisiacs can lead to bedroom fun
Contact Stauffer at 864-4810
Preheat the oven, crank up the stereo splash on some cologne and hope for the best.
Setting the mood for a night of sexual romance can be just as important as the sex itself. Aphrodisiacs can help with arousal and intensify sexual desire.
Commentary
The aroma and taste of food can be used as effective aphrodisiacs. People must remember a few simple guidelines. Food preparation should take a few minutes, as to not take away from the true goal at hand. The meal should also be satisfying without being heavy. Incorporate at least one ingredient into the dish with a reputation as an aphrodisiac. According to Santesson.com, pine nuts and mussels work like a charm.
Give the impression that everything is more expensive than it really is. Bring out the best dishware and light a few candles for a romantic glow. Then, most importantly, the taste should be delicious and different. But don't worry if you are not a master chef—the thought also counts.
"The thought of a guy cooking and preparing dinner for me turns me on, no matter what he cooks," said Julie Calderwood, Seneca freshman.
Catching a whiff of the perfect cologne or scent can also light the fire for a passionate
"If you are doing it right, you won't even hear the music anyway," said Hank Puls, Olathe senior.
Music can also help set the mood for romance. Sensual, sultry tunes are a great way to get the night rolling.

"Music with a good beat, especially R&B music, sets the mood for me," said Purvi Patel, Shawnee sophomore. "Brian McKnight and Boys II Men have some really good make-out songs."
Some people don't even need the assistance of music to get their sex drives humming.
night. The secret to a scent's success is pheromones, the scented sexual hormone. There are several perfumes on the market for both men and women made from human pheromones and designed to attract a partner.
If you can't get your hands on pheromones, a woman just needs to step into the kitchen to arouse her man. Men are attracted to the smell of cinnamon rolls, lavender, pumpkin pie, licorices and doughnuts. Women, on the other hand, can actually be aroused by their own perfumes. Musk, a common scent in women's perfumes, is a thousand times more sexually arousing to women than to men.
Certain foods, music and scents are proven aphrodisiacs, but other factors can also set a sexy mood.
"My boyfriend and I went to Clinton Lake and had a picnic. It was November, so not too many people were there," said Jenny Hoyt, Topeka freshman. "It was very romantic and perfect."
Indoor ideas include a sexually toned or romantic movie, and for the daring, order the Playboy Channel for the night.
"No normal boyfriend and girlfriend can actually make it through a whole movie," said Heather Barnett, Hutchinson freshman.
And for those low on cash, a simple back rub, shared shower or heart-felt chat can possibly lead to the bedroom. Just remember these ideas are all subjective to the individual relationships, so be creative and find what works for you.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 7B
Students sample the world of Lawrence strip clubs
By Jake Weller
Kansan correspondent
Three University of Kansas men, Ryan Yeager, Maple Lake, Minn., sophomore; John Breeding, Springfield, Mo., junior; and Joseph Ness, Overbrook freshman; are proud to admit they love adult entertainment.
The only problem: none of the men are 21.
So, these three gentlemen boldly toured and rated the two Lawrence strip clubs that admit patrons who are at least 18 years old: The Outhouse, 1837 N. 1500 Rd.; and Bada Bing, 913 N. 2nd St.
Another option also exists in Lawrence for entertainment seekers of legal drinking age: The Flamingo Club, 501 N. 9th St.
The three brought varied levels of experience with strip clubs to this review. Breeding said he had been to clubs in the Kansas City area and in Topeka.
Senn was a first-timer.
"I was nervous at first, but I'm glad I did this," said Joseph Senn. "There's nothing unusual about going to strip clubs. A lot of guys do it. This was my chance to find out which one was the best."
Thanks to their efforts, KU men now can enjoy this handy gentlemen's club consumer report—even if they would never admit that they are adult-entertainment consumers.

John Breeding, Springfield, Mo., junior; Ryan Yeager, Maple Lake, Minn., sophomore; and Joseph Senn, Overbrook freshman, check out the scenery at Bada Bing, 913 N. 2nd. The three sampled two local strip clubs in Lawrence and judge them on a variety of criteria.
JOHN NOWAK/KANSAN
Breeding liked The Outhouse too. "I feel it was the most professional of the three." Breeding said, "and it was very affordable."
One unique aspect of The Outhouse is the "BYOB" policy — the establishment does not sell alcohol, but it allows patrons to supply their own. This policy was very popular with our guys.
"The other clubs will pressure you to buy beer," Breeding said.
"This one doesn't. If you have beer then you can drink it. If you don't, you don't have to. It that simple."
"Strip clubs are expensive to begin with. It's nice to not have to worry about buying beer there," Senn said.
One disadvantage of The Outhouse, Breeding said, was a lack of privacy during the lap dances.
"Granted, you could touch them [the strippers]," Breeding said, "but that doesn't take away the awkward feeling that everybody is watching you."

Bada Bing ended up being the highlight of the night.
"The strippers at Bada Bing were the nicest, the best looking, and most readily available." Yeager said.
Senn agreed that the strippers were "the best looking. They were also pretty friendly."
Yeager said he appreciated how social the Bada Bing strippers were.

down and actually talked to us," Yeager said. "They acted like they had known you your whole life. It was a lot better than being smothered by a stripper gone crazy."

Breeding was a little more critical towards Bada Bing than his peers.
"The Outhouse strippers were much more professional than the Bada Bing strippers," Breeding said. "Bada Bing delivers on amateurs, if that's your thing. I think The Outhouse was my favorite, but I was disappointed in them all. I think the discriminating male would rather go to clubs in Kansas City or Topeka."
They all agreed that Bada Bing had the best facilities. Breeding, although not impressed with the place, took comfort in the fact that the dances at Bada Bing were private, unlike at The Outhouse.
CONCLUSIONS
Now that these three amigos of adult entertainment had lived out their strip-club fantasies, would any of them ever date a stripper in
real life?
Bada Bing, 913 N. 2nd St., is one of Lawrence's exotic dance establishments. The club once offered fully nude dancers but now serves alcohol instead. In Kansas, clubs can serve alcohol or allow full nudity but not both.
"Hell yes," Yeager said. "How could I refuse that sort of opportunity if it came?"
Breeding disagreed.
"No, I'm afraid not," he said. "I could fantasize about it night and day, but the truth is I'm just not that compatible with a stripper. They
are too energetic and I'm just lazy."
"Stripping is a profession just like any other," Senn said. "Those women work very hard. If I had a girlfriend who was one, I would support her 100 percent. I would be proud of her."

Sexual bondage, domination/submission, and sodomasochism are used by some to add a dash of spice to their sex lives. Though not for everyone, these activities have devoted enthusiasts.
Spanking, bondage give 'vanilla'sex new flavor
By Mandalee Meisner Jayplay writer
A comment from a firefighter opened up the world of sexual bondage to Nick P. Wichita senior.
"We were discussing lifesaving techniques and how a particular knot could be used in emergency situations," he said. "Then one firefighter said a good way to practice the knot was to tie up my girlfriend. After that, I incorporated it into my sex life."
Sexual bondage, domination/submission, and sadomasochism, also called erotic power exchange, encompasses a wide range of activities, behaviors and attitudes.
But whatever the label, BDSM involves the consensual exchange of power between two or more people during lovemaking. It includes activities such as blind-folding, spanking a partner during lovemaking and making your partner your 24-hour "slave."
"It requires a certain level of trust between two people," Nick P. said.
And like many things, BDSM isn't for everyone.
Nick P. said that although he had used only ropes, handeuffs and blindfolds during sex, he could see using more advanced accessories in the future.
Our selection is mostly just for people just trying it out," said Kimberly Juarez, Naughty but Nice employee and Overland Park junior. "There are specialty shops for people who are really into it with much better quality products."
"Within the confines of a committed relationship or marriage, I think it's much easier to get deeper into it," he said.
Priscilla's, 1206 W. 23rd St., and Naughty but Nice, 1741 Massachusetts St., both carry BDSM related items such as latex and leather clothing, whips, paddles, arm and leg straps, ball gags, tickleand handcuffs.
In addition to carrying beginner items, Priscilla's also carries a selection of books especially for domination sex "virgins," including S/M 101 by Jay Wiseman, Leathersex by Joseph W. Bean and Ties that Bind by Guy Baldwin.
Both organizations can be contacted via their Web sites, www.ahs-kc.org, and come.to/K-I-N-K.
Area support groups and clubs for those interested in BDSM include the Alternative Hedonic Source in Kansas City and K-I-N-K, or Kink in Northeast Kansas, located in Topeka.
Although many books, products, organizations and clubs — even entire stores — are devoted to serving the BDSM community, those practicing BDSM still encounter many negative stereotypes about their sexual practices.
"I've encountered a lot of resistance," said Vanessa Hays, Topeka sophomore. Hays, who began exploring the world of BDSM two years ago, said that BDSM was about trust more than violence or anger, but that it was difficult to get some people to see this.
"There will always be people that think it's wrong, no matter what you say," she said.
She said she happened upon BDSM by experimenting with adding a little roughness to "vanilla" sex, a term used by the BDSM community to talk about sex without BDSM. Her small taste of BDSM-like roughness left her wanting more.
"So I just thought about my fantasies for a while, and things that just popped into my head," Hays said. "Then I thought, 'what if I tried it?' And then I did."
Along the way to making her fantasies a reality Hays repeatedly encountered the view that BDSM isn't safe because people could be easily harmed when practicing BDSM sex.
In fact, Hays said that BDSM
can actually be safer than "normal" sex.
"During regular sex, someone may be embarrassed by telling their partner that they're uncomfortable with something they're doing," she said.
But, staying silent isn't an option for those into BSDM sex, Hays said.
"People are expected to use safe words to guard against anything bad happenment," she said.
Safe words are words established before sexual contact starts so if either partner begins to feel uncomfortable with something the other person is doing, they can communicate to their partner that they really want to stop the activity—not that they want more.
Another common misconception, said Hays, is that female submission in BDSM is sexist and anti-feminist.
"People have told me that I'm setting back the women's movement into the 1930s," she said. "But I am a feminist, and I think one of the best ways to be a feminist is to be in a situation where you can explore your sexual fantasies in a safe way."
Another source of confusion may be the labeling of sadism and masochism as psychological illnesses. The DSM-IV, an index of psychological disorders used by professionals in mental health, classifies sexual sadism and sexual masochism as abnormal.
Hays said she thought the difference between BDSM and psychological illness was mutual consent.
"I don't think people with murderous fantasies would find BDSM an acceptable outlet for their feelings." Hays said. "I think they would be too afraid that their feelings would get out of hand. I don't do anything that my partner's uncomfortable with. It's consensual, and there's nothing really deviant in consensuality."

Dates can be painful, hellish
By Adam Stein
Kansan correspondent
Dating can be a fun experience, or a serveracking one. The first couple of dates are unquestionably the most uncomfortable, said Jon Brubaker, Monteville, N.I., sonhomore.
"If I don't know the girl I'm going out with all that well, I'm always wondering if they're having a good time." Brubaker said. "I'm also worried about the possibility that we won't really have anything in common to talk about."
While these concerns seem to be common, dates can turn out much worse than anyone could ever expect: the feared "dates from hell."
Erica Gray, Dallas junior,
remembers her freshman year
date from hell.
"I went out with this guy who
was from Dallas, too," she said. "I guess he thought that we were destined to be together just because we were from the same place.
"He drove me to Mission Hills to show me the house that we were going to live in. That was really weird, but it got even worse when he started naming the kids that he thought we were going to have together."
Trying to read signs from the person you're on your first date with can also be scary. Tom Holland, Lawrence sophomore, had such an experience.
"I went out with this girl, and everything was great." he said. "We came back to my place and started fooling around a bit. I guess she got uncomfortable with the situation because she left pretty suddenly. The next day I found out that she told all of her
friends that I tried to take advantage of her. That really sucked."
The fear of embarrassment can also cause first-date jitters. A sophomore student, who asked to remain anonymous, remembers his first-date horror story.
"My date and I had a really good time at dinner, and we decided that after a movie we would go out to the bars. We were only there for about 15 minutes when I got an MIP from an undercover cop. The worst part of it was that I was her ride, and I had to leave with my keys. She was stranded at the bar. She never did call me back."
Even though bad experiences may happen on dates, people seem to keep coming back for more. Even if you do have a date from hell, at least it will make for a good story to tell friends.

Students turn to Web for love
By Maggie Newcomer Kansan correspondent
Some students turn to the Internet for online love. The Web site www.love-4-life.com offers safety advice when meeting potential mates.
PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY AARON SHOWALTER/KANSAN
The Internet is an endless source of information and entertainment for today's society. People can get the news, check stocks, shop, research and even find a date.
Often, casual conversations lead to relationships that extend beyond the cyber realm.
"I started dating someone on the Internet almost by accident," said Nikki, a Topea freshman who did not want her last named published. "I was just messing around in a chat room, talking to people and I started talking to this guy who lived in my town."
Nikki eventually met the guy whom she had talked to in the chat room, and they dated for a few months.
Dan Osman, Prairie Village graduate student, said people should weigh a number of considerations before meeting an online acquaintance face-toface and bringing the relationship out of the cyber realm.
"It really depends on the
precautions before agreeing to meet someone. The site suggests having a relationship on the Internet for a while before meeting someone in person. Speaking on the phone with the potential date is another good precaution, according to the site. Getting more than one picture of the person and references from their employers or friends is also recommended.
comfort level of that particular person when you're trying to decide whether to meet or not." Osman said. "From a guy's point of view, I'm not concerned about the psycho factor like girls might be. Just as long as they're meeting in a public place, I think it's OK."
The Web site www.love-4 life.com, a source of Internet dating advice, suggests several
"I got lucky and the guy I met wasn't a psycho," Nikki said. "But I should have been more careful than I was. I had only been talking to him for a couple of weeks when we decided to meet."
Most Internet dating services, like e-mail servers, assign each member a user name, so people don't have to use their real names.
"The ultimate goal for me is always to meet the person if I find them interesting," said Osman, who is also a member of the Kansan editorial board.
While some people have negative views about meeting someone on the Internet, Osman said he thought students shouldn't be ashamed of meeting dates on the Internet.
"It's just another way to get to know someone before you date them," Osman said. "A lot of people are embarrassed to say they met someone over the Internet, but it's better than meeting them when you're passed out at a bar one night."

Survey: College still a place for man-hunting
By Mary Kellerman Special to the Kansan
Despite an increase in the average age for marriage, a majority of college women look to meet "Mr. Right" while in college, a national survey says.
A survey of college women by the Institute for American Values, a private, conservative, New York-based think tank, this year showed that 63 percent hoped to meet their future husband while in school.
Also, 83 percent of the women surveyed considered getting married an important life goal.
Still, not all college-aged women are waiting to meet Mr. Right.
"The statistics about marriage don't really surprise me, but I don't consider it a goal for myself," said Amy Quirin, Garnett junior.
For other students, marriage is much closer. Amy Ratzlaff, Buhler junior, started planning her June 2002 wedding after becoming engaged to her boyfriend of six years last July.
Ratzlaff said she didn't expect marriage to affect her or her finance's education and career goals.
"We're not giving up anything to get married," she said. "We're just going to do things like travel and volunteer together."
Going out on dates isn't the
most popular way college students find potential mates. Of the women surveyed, one out of three said they had been asked on two or fewer dates.
Brian Hollenbeck, Leawood junior, said he didn't ask women out on dates often. He said he usually met women he was interested in through his friends.
"I usually go along with people my friends are friends with, so that's who I usually end up getting in relationships with," Hollenbeck said.
The survey also reported that the most common type of relationship in college was a "joined-at-the-hip" relationship in which a man and woman are
intensely involved and spend most of their time together. These couples see each other daily and spend nearly every night together.
Many of the women surveyed did not see a connection between their present relationship and future ones that could lead to marriage.
Quirin met her boyfriend of almost one year when the two lived on the same floor in Ellsworth Hall. Their relationship began as a friendship.
"I guess I'll probably get married someday, but I don't have any plans for it now," Quirin said.

Students can't decide whether eye contact can turn into love
By Erin Ohm Kansan correspondent
Love at first sight happens all the time in the movies. Eyes meet in a glance across the room, and it's clear that love was written in the stars.
In real life, the idea of love at first sight is debatable, based on one's definition and expectations. Some students think the connection does not have much to do with love.
"It's attraction. I don't think it's based on love," said Kelly Vickery, Overland Park freshman. "Ithink people can mistake it for love."
Colleen Ice agreed.
"I don't think you can have love at first sight. I think you can lust at first sight," said Ice, Kansas City, Kan., freshman. "But it can turn into love. I don't think you can be in love with someone unless you know them."
Byron Toy, Minneapolis,
Minn. inn., thinks otherwise.
"I do believe in it," said Toy, who said he experienced love at first sight once in high school. "It was a look, an unsaid communication."
That communication is something Ingi House, Topeka sophomore, also thinks is possible.
"You can have a connection with someone at first sight, but if you're talking in terms of real love, I think that takes time. But you can go up to someone and start talking to them right off the bat." House said.
She also said guys were more willing to go out and talk to anybody, while girls were more picky about who they approached.
Tom Dye, St. Louis sophomore, agreed with House. He
said the tendency to fall for someone immediately differed between the sexes.
"A guy definitely could fall in love with a girl at first sight, but I think girls need to get to know a guy before they like him," Dye said.
Passion is commonly associated with love at first sight, and one explanation for passion is the psychological concept of classical conditioning.
David Holmes, professor of psychology, said classical conditioning was a well-studied, welldefined phenomenon. It is based on the idea of evoking a particular response from a specific stimulus.
Holmes said it was possible to generalize that principle, so that a person would learn to associate the response with anything similar to the stimulus. Classical conditioning demonstrates how it is possible to get a response even if one has never met the person.
Jenny Boeh, Overland Park sophomore, said she became convinced that love at first sight was legitimate when she met her boyfriend.
boyfriend.
"I never used to believe in it," said Boeh. "It was at a party at our apartment. The first second I saw him, I knew we would be together. We took a picture together, and it looked like we had been together forever. We've only been dating for three months, but we've already talked about getting married."

CLAS ceremony to recognize fall,summer graduates
By Jeremy Clarkson Kansan staff writer
For the sixth year, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will honor its summer and fall graduates with a formal ceremony this month.
Karen Huettenmueller, assistant director of CLAS undergraduate services, said about half of the 500 CLAS graduates would participate in the ceremony. The event will be at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Lied Center.
Before 1995, CLAS graduates in the summer and fall were not honored until the following spring ceremony. When CLAS first began having a ceremony in December, it was in Murphy Hall. But because of increasing attendance, it moved to the Lied Center in 1998.
Huettennueller said the number of students who graduated had not significantly increased, but more students were participating in the ceremonies. This also led to larger audiences.
"I think it's something like anything you do that's new, it just takes time for it to take off," she said.
Huettennueller said the Lied Center last year was filled with people who wanted to attend the ceremony. Because of the number of people expected to attend this year, each student was given
seven tickets to ensure the building did not exceed capacity.
"Because of fire safety reasons, the Lied Center asked us to," Huettenmeller said about the tickets.
Huettenmueller said if students weren't going to use all of their allotted tickets, they should return the tickets so students who needed more could invite other people.
Amy Karr, Santa Cruz, Calif., senior, said although she understood why students were allowed to invite only seven people to the ceremony, she was a little disappointed.
"I didn't feel it was enough," she said. "I had a lot of family who wanted to fly in from California."
Karr said the ceremony was special because she received her General Education Development (GED) diploma when she was 16 years old. She said because she never had a ceremony then, her family was excited to see her graduate. She said she was pleased about completing school.
"It's been very challenging, but I have stuck with it," Karr said.

Creditpolicy debated
Increase could keep future freshmen in school longer some argue
A policy passed by the Board of Regents that might keep future KU freshmen in school longer may not stand, some University officials say.
By Paul Smith Kansan staff writer
During the Regents' meeting in November, the board raised the minimum requirement for upperdivision credit hours from 40 to 54, a policy that would take effect in 2003. Critics of the policy say future students may have to stay in
college longer to fulfill the requirement.
Some University officials say the board may revise the policy, or even revoke it.
"There been all kinds of speculation," said Jim Carothers, associate provost and the administrator in charge of researching the policy's effects.
Provost David Shulenburger does not agree with the Regents' policy.
"It does have adverse effects on a large number of students," Shuilenburger said. "I think it will be revised somehow."
Employees at the Board of Regents said no discussion of the new credit hour policy was scheduled for the December meeting.
Pam Houston, director of
undergraduates service for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said the Regents policy was unnecessary and would limit students' educational opportunities.
"The more we require of students, the fewer options they have." Houston said.
Carothers agreed that a fouryear college education would be complicated by the policy.
"It would require extremely careful planning and advising to get that done in four years." Carothers said.
Amanda Golbec, vice president of academic affairs for the Regents, said that the regular process for any policy implementation would proceed for the 54-credit hour requirement.
"I'm expecting that the universi
ties will be expected to put together an implementation plan." Golbeck said, adding that the plans would need to detail necessary changes for each institution in order to comply with the policy.
The Regents oversee all 56 higher educational institutions in the state, and the policy would apply to them all.
Golbeck said the Regents passed the policy as a part of their effort to establish the minimal standards to earn the degrees available from higher education institutions in the state.
Golbeck said there was no precedent within the state for the 54-credit hour policy.

Since Sept.11,followers of Allah have received a few more stares and a few more questions. But by explaining their religion,a few local believers take a shot at...
Demystifying Muslims
STORY BY RYAN MALASHOCK
Asma Rehman is conspicuous as she walks along Jayhawk Boulevard through a throng of KU students dressed in jeans and t-shirts. Her head is wrapped in silky, white linen embroidered with light blue flowers and a dark blue border. The rest of Rehman's body is hidden by a loose-fitting, ankle-length dress, leaving only her bronze face and hands uncovered.
As some students stare at her Islamic dress, her stomach — empty and hungry from day-long Ramadan fasting — is a constant reminder of her own religion.
Asma heinman, Kansas City.
Mo., junior, says Sept. 11 made
being a Muslim more difficult.
But, she adds, she wouldn't
change a thing.
Rehman, Kansas City, Mo., junior, and other KU Muslims, both American- and foreign-born, have become even more visible since the Sept. 11 attacks by Islamic extremists. Although Muslims number more than one billion worldwide, they are a distinct and misunderstood minority in Lawrence. More than 250 Muslim students attend the University of Kansas and more than 100 Muslim families reside in Lawrence. They say trying to maintain and explain their eastern religion and culture in a western, Judeo-Christian country has become even more difficult since Sept. 11.
Struggling with terror
Rehman said the attacks would test the ability of Americans to put aside prejudices and stereotypes and see Islam for what it truly was: a peaceful religion.
Mariam Syeda, Karachi, Pakistan, graduate student, said she had spent the last two months defending her religion.
Rehman will never forget the morning of Sept. 11 when she turned on the TV to check the weather and instead saw the horrifying pictures of the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. She remembers her first, dreadful instinct that the attacks would be blamed on Muslims.
"I remember that I called my mom right away, and I said 'I'm afraid that we are going to get blamed for this.'" Rehman said.
"It's portrayed in a negative way toward war," she said. "The teachings of Jihad tell Muslims to protect their property and families, but they do not promote killings. You're not allowed to even cut down someone else's tree because of Jihad. To call the World Trade Center Jihad is completely false."
When Osama bin Laden and his network of terrorists claimed the actions were in the 'name of Islam,' Rehman — and Muslims worldwide felt that it was necessary to explain why Islam could not be a foundation for such violence.
"Those people do not truly believe in Islam, and its horrible that we are all classified by their actions," Rehman said.
According to Muslims, the main misrepresentation concerns the false interpretation of the word Jihad to mean 'holy war.' While this is one use of Iihad , it is not the main meaning of the word.
Beverly Mack, associate professor of African-American studies who has taught a Women in Islam class, explained that Jihad is any kind of struggle in life.
"People think
the weirdest things. and
the weirdest things, and I've been having to explain everything about our religion," Syeda said
everything Rehman said nothing drastic had happened to her since Sept. 11,but she sometimes noticed people glaring at her in public places. However, some of her friends have not been as lucky.
Rehman said one of her Muslim friends was driving down the street

Mother sentenced to prison for burning daughter in water
WELLINGTON — A Wellington woman who held her 4-year-old daughter in a tub of scalding hot water for misbehaving has been sentenced to three years and five months in prison.
Miranda Fields pleaded no contest to aggravated battery Friday before Judge Thomas Graber in Sumner County. She received the standard sentence under Kansas law.
The incident happened in Wellington during the Fourth of July weekend. Fields and Ramon McGraw then took the girl to a Wichita motel, where police officers were tipped off by someone familiar with the incident.
The girl was hospitalized for several days with burns on her legs, buttocks and genital areas.
She and a younger sister were taken from Fields a short time later. Fields then gave birth to a third daughter while awaiting trial in the county jail. Her attorney, Elaine Esparza, said a fourth child, a son, lives in Arkansas.
Armored car is department's new crime-fighting apparatus
OSKALOOSA — You won't see Sheriff Roy Dunnaway cruising around Jefferson County in his department's new armored vehicle. But if his officers are ever imperiled by an armed suspect, the Peacekeeper will be at the ready.
A piece of military surplus equipment, the car, which was given its nickname by the Air Force, cost the Northeast Kansas sheriff's department $5,000 last summer.
"I hope we never have to use it," Dunnaway said recently.
An armored vehicle allows officers to get close to an armed suspect.
The vehicle was purchased courtesy of money from drug dealers. State and federal laws allow some of the money law enforcement agencies seize in drug investigations to go back to the investigating agency.

U.S., Afghan fighters batter al-Oaida in mountains
NATION&WORLD
The Associated Press
TORA BORA, Afghanistan — Afghan tribal fighters battled their way through mortar and machine-gun fire yesterday and pushed Osama bin Laden loyalists from a strategic mountain valley leading to an underground complex where the terror suspect may be hiding.
B-52s and other American warplanes battered al-Qaida mortar positions on the mountaintops as the Afghan fighters — helped by U.S. special forces — seized caves in the Milawa valley in the White Mountains. A commander said forces loyal to bin Laden had been pushed to the main complex at Tora Bora a mile away.
U. S. Marines intensified their hunt for Taliban leaders and members of the al-Qaida terror network around the southern city of Kandahar — the other region where Afghan and American officials think bin Laden may be hiding.
Marine "hunter-killer" teams in armored assault vehicles and backed by combat helicopters set up a staging ground at the foot of a jagged mountain 12 miles outside Kandahar, from which officials said they could intercept
In Washington, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz said that although the Taliban have fallen, the military faced the tough task of tracking down bin Laden and eliminating al-Qaida. "Large numbers of al-Qaida terrorists are still at large. It's going to be a very long and difficult job," he said.
fleeing fighters on the roads.
Taliban supreme leader Mullah Mohammed Omar has disappeared since the Taliban abandoned Kandahar, their birthplace and last major city on Friday. Afghan interim leader Hamid Karzai said there would be no amnesty for the cleric.
Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday that intelligence reports indicate bin Laden is in Tora Bora, a complex of caves and tunnels in the White Mountains near the border.
Osama bin Laden claims on a videotape seized in Afghanistan last week that he calculated in advance how many casualties "the enemy" would suffer on Sept. 11, according Bush administration descriptions. The tape could be released publicly in the next two days.

The three were killed and 19 American servicemen wounded when a U.S. bomb missed its target Wednesday. Five Afghan fighters also were killed in the explosion.
FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. — Three soldiers killed last week in Afghanistan were hailed yesterday as heroes who helped free an oppressed nation.
A separate service at the 5th Special Forces Group headquarters took place earlier in the day, and two other memorials have taken place in Afghanistan, Hudson said.
Yesterday, more than 300 people filled Memorial Chapel, and about 200 others watched nearby via closed-circuit television.
"Secretly lies at the heart of the federal grand jury system," Lewis said.
"Children are able to laugh, play and sing because of what they did." Lt. Col. Frank Hudson said during a memorial service at Fort Campbell, Kv.
The American servicemen's boots, berets and dog tags were displayed in the chapel for the hour-long ceremony.

Officer sentenced for setting police dog on homeless man
GREENBELT, Md. — A former police officer was sentenced to 10 years in prison yesterday for setting her police dog on an unarmed homeless man.
Stephanie C. Mohr, a one-time member of the Prince George's County force in suburban Washington, received the maximum sentence.
Mohr was unrepentant, saying she was doing her duty when she allowed her dog to attack Ricardo G. Mendez outside a Takoma Park building in 1995. Mendez's leg was severely gouged.
Mendez and another homeless man were sleeping on the roof when police, suspecting them of trying to break in, made them come down. The two were then confronted by officers, including Mohr, who let her dog attack Mendez.
Mohr had two trials in the case. Last spring, she was cleared of conspiracy, but the jury could not reach a verdict on whether she had violated Mendez's civil rights.

Muslims: From behind hijab, believers adjust in Lawrence
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
١
Above: Mariam Syeda, Karachi, Pakistan, graduate student, left, and Asma Rehman, Kansas City, Mo., junior, face northeast to pray in Rehman's apartment before eating their evening meal. Prayer is an important part of Islam, with five official times set aside for praying throughout the day. Right: Asma Rehman prepares to break her daily Ramadan fast. Right: biryani, a mixture of rice, lamb and chicken with curry sauce. "It's not bad after the first few days," Rehman said about fasting during Ramadan.
and was confronted by four men at an intersection. The men spit on her car and yelled at her. When Rehman's friend attempted to ignore them, they jumped on the car and started shaking it.
"She was so scared, and she couldn't believe that something like that could happen," Rehman said. Dunningiah
Rehman said the stares caused by her Islamic garb had decreased during the years, but had crept back into her life after Sept. 11. She said that occasionally when she was sitting in a class or shopping at a store, fixed stares became difficult for her not to notice from behind the cover of her linen.
Muslim women traditionally wear the linen, called a hijab in Islam, as a symbol of both faith and tradition.
Rehman wears her hijab with a sense of humility and pride, and said she was not worried about sticking out in a crowd:
"Wearing the hijab is done for modesty." Rehman said. "The hijab is everything. It's all about how you present yourself as a Muslim."
In the Quran, the Muslim holy book, women are advised to wear the hijab, but not all Muslim women do. A Muslim woman must be spiritually ready to take on the burden of wearing the hijab.
"You have to do it for the right reasons," Rehman said. "Islam is based on intentions. You have to understand the reasons for the hijab before you actually wear it."
Syeda is a devout Muslim who felt she was not ready for the hijab. Syeda, who moved to Lawrence four months ago after spending her entire life in Pakistan, considers Islam the foundation holding her life together and said her faith had become more intense every day. Syeda does not wear the hijab now, but said she would one day.
"I think you need a lot of courage to wear it, especially now," Syeda said. "I don't wear it, but I'm hoping that I will have the courage to wear it soon. You need to truly believe in hijab to wear it." Worldwide wardrobes
Tangled in the political issues involved in the battle against terrorism is the status of women who wear the traditional garb in Afghanistan and other Muslim countries.
When the Taliban dominated Afghanistan, they forbade women from working and attending schools, and required them to be covered from head to toe in public. Now, with the Taliban losing power, women are slowly regaining their simple freedoms.
However, even with the fall of the Taliban, some women have been reluctant to give up wearing their burkas — full length shawls that have only an eye-slit allowing women to see.
Mack, who taught the Women in Islam class, has spent time in various Muslim societies and said she saw vast differences between them.
"When you have a religion like Islam that's in so many different cultures, you're going to see big differences," Mack said. "Over time, each country develops their own ways and believes that their way is the right way to live according to Islam."
For example, Muslim women in Egypt wear anything from Islamic hijabs to westernized jeans and t-shirts.
Yet even U.S. allies such as Saudi Arabia don't allow women
to drive cars and require them to be veiled in public.
Malaysian Muslim women make up half of the country's college students and are quickly entering the work force, yet are required to wear head coverings in some parts of the country.
Women in Turkey, who are the most liberated in the Muslim world, can enter all professions, hold government offices and wear whatever type of clothing they like.
Rehman said Muslim women should not be judged by how they dressed regardless of the country in which they live.
"The people that don't wear hijab are not looked down on," Rehman said. "Some people that don't wear it turn out to be better Muslims than those that do." The five pillars
Although Islam is observed differently throughout the world, its foundation is the same the Five Pillars of Islam, which are faith, prayer, charity, fasting and a pilgrimage.
The pillar of faith, or Shahada in Islam, is the worship of Allah as the One God and the recognition of Muhammad as his last messenger. The worship is of basic ideals and of complex, deep feelings.
Prayer, or Salat, is the pillar instructing Muslims to pray five times a day. These prayer sessions are the direct link between the Muslim worshipper and God. Prayers are performed at dawn, noon, mid-afternoon, sunset and nightfall, and allow Muslims to enjoy a personal, intimate relationship with God.
"I can honestly say that my day revolves around prayer." Rehman said. "I wake up to prayer, and I finish my day with prayer. It's a very serious time that allows me to escape away from my day."
Charity, or Zakat, is based on the belief in Islam that all things belong to God, and that wealth should be divided among all human beings. Each year, Muslims calculate the amount of money they have made, then give 2.5 percent of it to charity.
"It's so a part of society in Pakistan that the government will take the 2.5 percent right out of your paycheck if you want them to." Syeda said. "That's what my family does."
The fast during the holy month of Ramadan, which is now underway, signifies a time of inner reflection, devotion to Allah and self-control. Muslims fast from food, drink and sex every day of Ramadan from dawn till dusk.
The pilgrimage, or hajj, is the trip to Mecca, the religious center of Islam located in Saudi Arabia. Muslims are required to visit Mecca at least once in their lifetime for an intense worshipping experience if financially and physically possible.
Finding friends
Gasim Bukhari, a 40-year-old Saudi Arabia native and KU doctoral student, has lived in Lawrence for five years and is president of the executive board at the Islamic Center of Lawrence. The center, located at 1917 Naismith Drive, serves as the central social and religious meeting place for the Muslim community.
"The center is very important and plays a crucial role." Bukhari said. "It's a place where all Muslims can get together. It's especially important because Muslims who are newcomers to the area can come here. They can come to a place where they will be comfortable. A lot of new students come from societies that are all Muslim, and it can be kind of overwhelming at first."
When Bukhari arrived in Lawrence, the center was located in a small house on 13th and Ohio streets, but the Muslim community has grown since then. Bukhari said 250-300 Muslim students now attend KU and more than 100 Muslim families live in Lawrence. The center plays host to daily dinners and prayers, weekly social gatherings and a weekly prayer on Fridays.
Syeda said she spent many days at the center during her first few weeks at KU, mostly with people she had never met before but felt close to culturally and religiously.
"I great because I can go there, not know anyone, and be totally comfortable there." Syeda said. "You meet so many people that you have a lot in common with."

Two times a year, the center sponsors large celebrations, or Eids — one that commemorates the trip to Mecca, and the other celebrating the end of Ramadan. The center also helps Muslim families with difficulties and celebrates Muslim weddings and births. Bukhari said the center played an important role in the lives of Lawrence Muslims.
"The Muslim community needs to support one another, especially now." Bukhari said. "More than anything, I want the Islamic Center to present Islam to the community in Lawrence
and inform people about Islam."
Rehman said she looked forward to the Eid celebrating the end of Ramadan this year, because it would give her family and her a chance to gather for a festive religious celebration.
Muslims end the last fast of Ramadan by eating large amounts of food, dancing and socializing. Ramadan
Now, however, even though the winter days are getting shorter, they can feel much longer for KU's Muslim students. Ramadan, the holy month of fasting in Islam, began Nov. 16 and will continue through Dec. 15.
The fast symbolizes a time of inner reflection, devotion to Allah, and self-control.
Rehman said that the sacrifices Muslims made during Ramadan — abstaining from food, drink and sex from sunrise to sunset — were difficult, but that her sense of holiness overwhelmed the sacrifices.
"In the beginning, it gets tough after a while to keep the fast," Rehman said. "But it's such a holy time. Ramadan is a time to worship Allah and really search within yourself."
Ramadan is meant to be a humbling experience for Muslims. Fasting puts Muslims in the position of the poor and hungry, thus making them feel sympathy for those people and giving them an appreciation for the gifts provided by Allah.

Area Muslims gather for prayer at the Islamic Center of Lawrence, 1917 Naismith Drive for Friday afternoon worship services. Because only men are allowed in the large prayer room, the women worship in separate, smaller rooms upstairs from where the service can be heard but not seen.
"Ramadan teaches me humility," Rehman said. "God makes you see that there are people who are less fortunate in the world by putting you in that position."
On the third weekend of Ramadan, Rehman went home to Kansas City to be with her family and friends for the nightly iftar. Iftar is the name for the daily breaking of the fast during Ramadan.
Rehman said the dinner began, as every *iftar* traditionally does, with the eating of dates.
"The prophet Muhammad began his meals with dates so that's why we do," Rehman said about the ritual of eating the sweet and chewy dried fruit.
Then Rehman and her family
ate samosas, a triangular piece of
bread filled with either potatoes
or meat and served hot. Accompanying the samosas were pakoras, vegetables dipped in batter and then fried.
Then came Rehman's favorite, biryani, rice mixed with chicken, beef, or shrimp and topped with curry. Rehman said the spiciness of all of the food made it unique.
Ramadan brings Muslims a sense of togetherness because of the mass fasting observed worldwide by all of the religion's members.
When Ramadan began, Syeda was among 150 Muslims, both students and Lawrence residents, gathered at the Islamic Center to eat the first dinner of the holy month.
With Ramadan winding toward its conclusion. Rehman continues to go through the daily routine that's gotten her through the month of fasting.
As everyone sat down to begin eating, Syeda said she glanced around the room and noticed that she didn't recognize a single face. But that's what Syeda said she loved about Ramadan. The month puts every Muslim on the same level, and every person can relate with each other.

"That night was great because I didn't know anyone there, but I met so many new people." Syeda said. "Even if you don't know somebody, it's very easy to talk to them because being Muslim
"It ites tough, but then I remember why I do all of this," Rehman said. "This is all about self-restraint and submission to God."
Rehman awakens early each morning before sunrise to eat a light breakfast and ready herself for yet another long, grueling day without food or water.
"I wouldn't change anything about my life," Rehman said. "Life is difficult and challenging as a Muslim, but it's rewarding. Everything in my life is meaningful."

PERSPECTIVE
America right to use military force in Afghanistan
The hottest of topics on this campus lately has been the pros and cons of the American campaign in Afghanistan. The popular opinion here is that America is harming innocent Afghan citizens with military strikes and that this will only escalate violence and suffering both in our own country and abroad. I find this opinion to be not only false, but based on innuendo and loose logic.
Commentary
Instead, U.S. leaders seek to cripple the infrastructure of the Al Qaeda terrorist organization and the Taliban, which has acted as an enabler. This position has been clearly articulated by President George W. Bush, British Prime Minister
Those who think America should not be in Afghanistan argue we should not follow the eye-for-an-eye method of retaliation. Herein lies the first error in the logic of these protesters. America does not seek mere retaliation. If that what was sought, then clearly action would have been taken in several instances around the world during the past few years.

PETER HARRIS
Tony Blair and other U.S. and British leaders. America is not in this for pure revenge. The only revenge that will be satisfactory will be the permanent debilitation of Al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations around the globe.
The anti-war faction on this campus also argues that innocent Afghan citizens have been injured in the conflict. No one would disagree that this is an unfortunate consequence. To me there are two ways of looking at this dilemma. First, one might argue that the Afghan people, by allowing the Taliban to gain power in their country, chose their own fate and have in essence become a party to the
Taliban's atrocities. I would argue though, that the people of Afghanistan did not really have a say in who their leaders were, and had been stuck under the foothold of an oppressive regime.
The only way to free the Afghan people from their plight was to forcefully remove the Taliban from power. Did some innocent Afghans die in the process? Yes. Was this a necessary sacrifice that needed to be endured for peace in the Middle East and throughout the world? Definitely.
The other problem with the University anti-war movement is the view that the U.S. military action was somehow influenced by racism or anti-Arab sentiments. While this view is undoubtedly held by some, the vast majority of Americans recognize the beauty and the wealth of Arab culture. As President Bush said, we are not battling Islam, but rather a perversion of the faith that threatened to harm the esteem of Islam in America and other Western societies.
To this aim, retaliation alone will be
insufficient, as it must be accompanied by tolerance and compassion by our largely Christian culture. Yet the fact remains that only the most cynical person or a hermit who missed the events of Sept. 11 would believe that this conflict is a product of racism.
The United States did not chose this conflict. Rather, the country was delivered a tremendous slap in the face by bitter, heartless terrorists, who seek not only the fall of America, but the spread of their dangerous ideals to all corners of the globe.
the terrorists are only in a few Middle Eastern countries and are part of a few corrupt, evil regimes. For this reason, America should and must take forceful action to ensure the events of Sept. 11 are not repeated so the world can live without fear and with freedom.

DECENCY ON THE HILL
Dear editor.
I have read the Kansan a few times a week this semester and have enjoyed it each time with one exception. Today's edition features a special section on sex at the University. I thought the articles discussing the interracial couples and the thoughts of the transgender students were interesting and thoughtful, but those could have been included in any edition of the paper.
I had two problems with this section. My first was that it was included at all. Society is already preoccupied with sex to the point that almost all jokes on television, radio and in films are sexually related. Most music now is marketed as sexy, and music videos are becoming more and more explicit in their depiction of sexual activities. I am a promoter of people exploring and learning about sex, but considering the saturation that society is experiencing with sexual content, do we really need another bunch of columns on sex so we can all giggle during boring lectures?
my second contention is with self-styled sex "icon" Meghan Bainum. First of all, I don't think she has done anything to deserve icon status. As one person's editorial mentioned, Bainum seems to have no expertise in sex, sociology, or psychology so why on earth is she writings these columns? The columns themselves also seem to be lacking in actual content, sounding more like conversations in junior high locker rooms. The idea of a column about sex in the paper is a good idea as long as it has some sort of merit. In supposed sex "icon" Meghan Bainum's columns I find none.
Mike Milford Houston, Texas, graduate student
Call me a repressive, boring, Victorian-esque, traditionalist Catholic White male, and you'd be right about the traditionalist Catholic White male part. Probably right about the rest, too.
That said, "Sex on the Hill" was one of the most disgustingly licentious things I have seen during my time on campus.
As a transfer student and former senior editor of a twice-weekly college newspaper, I'd say that very little in that section was actually "journalism." Even the most liberal editors I have worked with would have perhaps discussed it, but never thought to publish such smut. You devoted only one article to chastity, and at least seven to brazen things, which is hardly fair and balanced.
Thankfully Meghan Bainum's nafarious column is buried in your pages weekly, but now, glaring before everyone is a full section of crap. In your fanaticism, you've turned your newspaper into a soapbox, not a forum.
tan A. Palko
Annapolis, Md., sophomore
Sex is a beautiful, but dangerous gift from God. What you've published debates the beauty of it, turning it into simply a dangerous thing, which must be done in secrecy, or flaunted as Bainum constantly encourages.
Ian A. Palko
If sex and carnal license, in the way you've presented them, are nothing to be ashamed of, then may God help us!
Dear editor,
I would like to comment on the extravagance of the newspaper readership program. I feel there is not, nor will there ever be, a need to have four different newspapers available every week day. While I can appreciate the original intent of the program, I believe it is just not practical and at the very least extremely wasteful and decadent.
Dear editor.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
SURPLUS NEWSPAPERS
As an employee of KU Recycling, I get to see first hand the waste that is generated by this program. Since the readership program began, waste newspaper collection has increased by thousands of pounds per week and makes up by far the
Michael Koehler Kansas City,Mo., senior KU Recycling technician
I can see no major difference in the content of the newspapers. They all pretty much cover the day's most important news. And especially since there are so many other sources available to read about the news such as the Internet and the Kansan, the need for four major newspapers is not justified. So please, save some trees and student money and get rid of the program!
SENATE RESOLUTION
largest part of our collection.
Dear editor.
Student Senate wants every student to know all the facts about the proposed tuition increase. First of all, students have every right to be outraged about the way these "scenarios" are being presented to them. The Provost and the Chancellor have both stated that they received notification of the tuition increases at the Nov. 17 Board of Regents meeting. However, minutes from the Board of Regents meeting on Oct. 17, 2001, indicate the need for each university to begin considering a tuition increase.
Essentially, the administration has so far completely left students out in the cold on these discussions — the ones mandated by the Board of Regents. Faculty has also been entirely absent from these dialogues. The initial scenarios that are on the table right now were created by an extremely exclusive group of KU administrators. This proposed increase reflects a disturbing national trend to place the primary financial burden of higher education on students, making it less of a state institution and more closely mimicking a private institution.
But don't lose hope yet. There are a variety of actions we can take to counteract what has happened so far. We feel the state should want to seek out more funding for KU—it is the state's flagship institution and draws national attention to the State of Kansas.
Ideally, the committee responsible for determining where this money goes will soon contain more students and become a way for students to advocate for themselves, rather than remain bureaucratic and ineffective. Finally, you can help encourage discussion. Bring it up in your classes, living organizations and campus groups. When you go home for winter break, discuss it with your parents, family and KU alumni in your community.
By increasing education about the situation and letting the administration know that students demand to be an important part of this process, we can help ensure that the most sound decision is made one that benefits members of the KU community and saves their pocketbooks.
Student Senate
You can be a part of this process. Write your district representatives and let them know how you feel about these proposed astronomical increases. A form letter for each student to use is available at the Student Senate Office in 410 Kansas Union. Also, fill out the survey in the Kansan this week asking you where you would like to see the increased revenue go: GTA salaries, to fix crumbling classrooms or anything on campus that you see as a need.
Dear editor.
The Board of Regents and administration may be increasing junior/senior courses by 14 credit hours without asking for KU—it is the state's flagship institution and draws national attention to the State of Kansas.
Dear editor,
I thought the Student Senate would have a substantial influence in KU legislation and regulations. I thought the Senate would be advised on credit hours, and tuition increases. But now I am completing my first semester at the University of Kansas, and I am realizing this is not the case.
Crystal Crain Shawnee freshman
RACIAL BIAS
ing a single student about the effect this increase would affect their schooling or financial situation.
The Board of Regents did not want to do research on how to counteract the decrease in the state funding. So KU has been forced to increase tuition. Just think of the addition of credit hours and tuition increase, students are going to have to pay up to an extra $2,500. Not only is it going to take me longer to graduate, I am now going to be more in debt.
Thank you so much Board of Regents.
Also with the proposed increase in tuition, the administration has asked few questions of the student body and in return has not answered our questions.
The Board of Regents is looking at increasing the number of credit hours required to graduate and also increasing our tuition in one semester.
Dear editor,
Following the Oklahoma City bombing, nobody said we should interview and/or expel every right-wing redneck in the Midwest with a chip on his shoulder for the federal government.
Yet, after Sept. 11, such treatment of our international guests is widely deemed prudent. How easy it is to dredge up the latent racism we Americans harbor.

Hanukkah festivities begin this week
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5A
By J. R. Mendoza Kansan staff writer
Some Jewish students and faculty at the University of Kansas are celebrating Hanukkah this week, which started Sunday and lasts for eight days.
"It's a Jewish holiday that commemorates the freedom from when the temple was desecrated by the Greeks," said Andrew Zidel, Jewish Campus Service Corp., fellow for KU Hillel, an organization for Jewish students. "They put in idols and told the Hebrews to pray them."
But the Jews revolted and gained independence. They later rode dedicated the temple
the festival of lights.
"It's not one of the major holidays," he said. "It got the reputation of a major holiday because it falls around Christmas. It's a festive holiday, not a solemn or somber holiday."
Zidel said Hanukkah was also known as
Zidel said Rosh. Hasanah and Yom Kipur were considered major Jewish holidays.
He said Jewls lit candles on a Menorah, which holds nine candles, signifying every night of the holiday. The ninth candle, the shameh, is used to light the other candles. Zidel said.
Amy Levin, Chicago junior, said she celebrated the holiday with her friends by lighting candles. She said she also played a game using a dreidel, which is similar to a top. Levin said observing the holiday didn't interfere with her classes because Hanukkah was not a major holiday.
Russ Shafer-Landau, associate professor of philosophy, said he and his family celebrated Hanukkah by lighting several Menorahs in their house. He said they also observed the holiday by eating latkes, which are potato pancakes.
"We say blessings every night," he said. "It's the standard ritualized blessings thanking God for giving us the holiday."
Zidel said Hillel was sponsoring a vodka and latke night from 5 to 7 tonight at Raoul's Velvet Room, 815 New Hampshire St. He said the event was already full.

BALTIMORE — Microsoft yesterday unveiled changes to its offer to settle private antitrust lawsuits by donating reduced-price software, computers and training to schools.
Microsoft lawyer Tom Burt said schools, not the software giant, would benefit from the settlement plan.
Under the proposal, Microsoft would provide at reduced prices more than $1 billion worth of Microsoft software, refurbished personal computers and other resources to more than 16,000 of the nation's poorest schools.
More than 200 educators, parents, technology experts and private citizens have written to the judge who is reviewing the proposal. The vast majority oppose the settlement's terms — although many say they would welcome some sort of plan to settle the case by giving schools badly needed technology resources.

Graduates learn under Moore
By Cassio Furtado Kansan senior staff writer
WASHINGTON — All the doors are closed, and the hallway is dark. But at the end of the fourth-floor hall at the Cannon House Office Building is a light. It's 7:30 a.m.
The work days of two KU graduates employed by Rep. Dennis Moore, D-Kan., start when most college students are still dreaming that they're in Cancun or that finals are finished. When they get in, they scan the day's newspapers to figure out what reporters and ordinary voters will be calling about.
tin is the representative's press secretary, his voice to the reporters in Washington and Kansas.
Then they meet with their boss.
Jack Martin and Jonah Siegellak, both 23, spend their days running much of the show at Moore's office in Washington. Siegellak is Moore's assistant and scheduler and does everything from scheduling an appointment with a Kansas farmer to driving Moore to the airport when he goes home every weekend. Mar-
Only through them can reporters and constituents have a minute with the congressman.
"They both have a great deal of maturity." Moore said. "That was exactly what I was looking for."
Siegellak, Wilmette, Ill., native, has been with Moore since January; Martin, a proud son of Abilene, since July.
But as mature as they may be. Washington's powerful atmosphere occasionally catches them off guard.
COLUMBUS
Siegellak said it was sometimes difficult for him to believe he was working for a congressman.
"I don't think I'm doing him a favor; I think he's doing me a favor," he said, adding that the best thing about his job was "seeing the Capitol and knowing that you have an impact."
Martin agreed.
"It's always busy, it's always exciting, even though you're'
always exhausted," he said. "Every day is different; that's why it's fun."
But even though the job is rewarding, the pay is not, they said.
Jack Martin, Rep. Dennis Moore, D-Kan., and Jonah Siegellak at Moore's office in Washington. The two KU graduates do everything from booking appointments to driving Moore to the airport every weekend.
"The staff in Washington don't get enough credit for what they do." Siegellak said, who didn't point to his paycheck as a reason to work for Moore. "Most staffers could be making much more in the business world."
Moore agreed.
"They work hard, long hours for not a whole lot of pay," he said.
But if the paychecks are not the best, their jobs offer other benefits. Siegellak said that through his job with Moore, he met former president Bill Clinton, prominent Democrats like Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, who was Al Gore's running mate in the 2000 presidential race, and former senator and KU graduate Bob Dole.
FEDERAL POLICE DEPARTMENT
CASSIO FURTADO/KANSAN
Jack Martin, left, and Jonah Siegellak outside of Rep. Dennis Moore's office in Washington. The two Kansas graduates work for the congressman.
But surprising as it may seem, young graduates like Martin and Siegellak are common nowadays on Canitol Hill.
Tobin Smith, a director of federal relations at the University of Michigan based in Washington, said the first thing to keep in mind about congressional staff today was that they were young.
"These youngsters' do play an important role in driving congressional policy." Smith said. "They are very bright and are the chief advisers to their more senior congressional bosses on the issues that they are responsible for covering."
Siegellak said he had always been encouraged by his family to get involved with politics. In college, he did just that, taking classes in American and Latin-American politics.
Martin's affection for the press began with a television show he had in high school. He read announcements and the lunch menu. When he went to college, he looked for a career in journalism.
But when he saw War Room, a movie about Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign, he fell in love with politics.
Once in college, Martin joined the KU Young Democrats and soon was working for the Kansas Democratic Party as an aide to the failed gubernatorial bid of Tom Sawyer in 1998.
But in that same year, Kansas Democrats had a victory they never expected. Moore beat incumbent Rep. Vince Snowbarger by a razor-thin margin in what everyone considered an upset.
Siegellak, who said he didn't know who Moore was before the election, was the congressman's first intern in Washington and then a coordinator for Moore's re-election campaign.
Martin began his relationship with Moore by working on his Web site.
"He's very into the Internet," Martin said.
He then worked as an intern and on Moore's 2000 campaign before being named Moore's press secretary.
"I know the way he speaks, the way he wants things to be written." Martin said.
Martin said it was crucial to have experienced political campaigns before coming to the cosmopolitan Washington and adapting to the capital's complex political process.
"It's hard to learn how Washington works from textbooks and classes," Martin said. "It takes a long time in Washington to know how this place works."
The young graduates don't remember when they met. But they said they have grown as staffers with the congressman, who is now in his second term and starting to gain more political influence.
"This will be a good experience," Moore said. "I'd hate to lose either one of them right now."
Re-election rates in the House of Representatives are typically more than 95 percent, but Moore's seat is by all accounts vulnerable. Before Moore's 1998 triumph, the last time a Democrat had won in Moore's district, which includes Lawrence, was in 1958, according to the Almanac of American Politics.
"He'll always be a target," Martin said. "He'll not have an election in which he doesn't have an opponent."
But until then they plan to take their chances and stick with Moore.
"At least until the next election year," Martin said. "Then we will look at where we are."
Siegelkall, however, wants to be around for some time.
"I plan on sticking with Dennis," he said. "He's a leader; it's easy to follow."

Winter break could bring surprises
Fifteen down and one to go.
It's the final week of the semester, which means our precious one-month winter break is right around the corner. After more than 15 weeks of lectures, tests and bad football, I don't know about you, but I'm definitely ready for a break.
While it will certainly be nice to relax for a while with no papers or projects to worry about, a month of no classes also means no Kansan. For four weeks there will be no Free for All, no Meghan Bainum columns and worst of all, no great coverage of Jayhawk sports.
I know you're all probably heartbroken and teary-eyed as you're reading this, but fear not, my Jayhawk friends, we won't be leaving you empty-handed.
empty hundred.
Although you won't have any sports columns to read for the next month, I've got a list of predictions that I hope will tide you over. So, as the Kansan goes into winter hibernation and its readers go home for winter break, here are my 10 predictions for the next month.
1. The Kansas men's basketball team will lose just once between now and the first day of the Spring semester. That's eight wins out of nine games, including tough road tests at Colorado, UCLA and Oklahoma State.
2. The Kansas women's basketball team also plays nine games between now and the start of next semester. Of those nine, the team will win four.
3. Of the eight teams from the Big 12 Conference competing in bowl games over the break, five will come out winners.
4. Nebraska won't be one of them. Just like they did in the 1989 Orange Bowl, the Miami Hurricanes will win the national championship by beating Nebraska. Those poor 'Huskers even if they do win the Rose Bowl, people won't stop whining about them being there.
5. After keeping quiet his decision for a curiously long time, Jason Giambi will finally join the Yankees. The news of New York landing yet another top-notch free agent will cause thousands of baseball fans around the world to gag in perfect unison.
6. The NFL playoffs won't be finished by the time we return to campus, but the Chicago Bears' season will. The new "Monsters of the Midway" will look more like roadkill on the highway after an early exit from the playoffs.
7. Brett Favre will finish yet another spectacular season and take home his fourth MVP award for the Green Bay Packers. The Pack will still get whacked by St. Louis in the playoffs, but it won't take away from the amazing season Favre's had.
8. Kansas guard Jeff Boschse will become the Jayhawks' all-time leading three-point shooter in a little more than a month. Boschsee could break Billy Thomas' record before winter break is finished, but I'm guessing he'll hit trey No. 270 on Jan. 19 at home against Oklahoma.
9. The No. 3 Missouri Tigers will finally lose a game—in fact, they may lose twice before the end of the month.
10. And the final prediction for Kansan readers to keep their eyes on during winter break —2002 will bring another year of fantastic sports, far too unpredictable for any college columnist to forecast.

End of semester brings busy schedule, short trip for basketball team
By Ali Brox Kansan sportswriter
The last week of class is always busy, and the men's basketball team also has hectic schedule as it departs today for tomorrow night's match-up against Princeton.
The team will practice in the New Jersey Nets' practice center this afternoon before getting something to eat and going to the New York Knicks-Boston Celtics
game to watch former Jayhawk Paul Pierce. The team will then head to Princeton, N.J., for its game at 7 p.m. tomorrow.
Kansas coach Roy Williams said that having his players miss class at this crucial time of the semester was a concern.
"We got a charter (flight) so we can bring them back and have everybody in

Paul Pierce
class tomorrow so we're chartering back after the game."
The frantic time associated with the last week of class made it difficult for Kansas to work out its schedule to spend much time in New York. Williams said the team had tried to arrange a trip to Ground Zero, the former site of the World Trade Center, but would not have time to go.
"It's really a pretty quick trip," Williams said. "I have mixed emotions to be honest with you. I'd like to see Ground Zero myself in some ways, but in other ways, I don't want to see."
other ways, I push them to Senior guard Brett Ballard agreed that this week was a hectic time for the team
but said that he was excited to see Pierce play.
"It's a little bit hectic," Ballard said. "I know for me I have a lot of stuff to do for my classes and missing class is a little bit tough. Obviously we're excited to go watch Paul play, so that makes it worthwhile."
Ballard said that the players would have to plan ahead for their classes and take care of class work when they got home.

"Our teaches are really great, and they really help us out," Ballard said. "So as long as you plan ahead and manage your time you're usually OK."
Pain and injuries can't stop Kansas freshman standouts

Simien back in action after knee surgery, Langford recovering
By Ryan Malashock Kansan sportswriter
One Kansas freshman has recovered from his injury while another faces the prospect of playing with an injury.
Forward Wayne Simien suffered torn cartilage in his left knee in practice on Nov.15, had arthroscopic surgery performed on the knee and missed more than two weeks of action. He returned last Tuesday night against Wake Forest.
While Simien is moving forward, guard Keith Langford is struggling to fight off a recent injury. The 6-foot-4 Fort Worth, Texas, native chipped a bone in his left ankle in a practice prior to the Arizona game.
In Simien's two games since he returned to the Kansas lineup, he has averaged 11.5 points and eight rebounds.
Sinien said the Jayhawk leaders surrounding him on the court were helping with his comeback.
were helping to meet the "My comfort level is good, and I feel real comfortable out there with the leadership that Kirk (Hinrich), Jeff Boschee and Aaron Miles have shown out
there," Simien said yesterday. "We get along real well on and off the court, and that's really helped everyone adapt."
everyone adapts.
Simien hasn't displayed any ill effects from his knee injury and has continued his physical, intimidating style of play.
"It's felt good out there." Simien said. "I'm still able to play tough and play how I like to play."
Kansas coach Roy Williams said Langford's injury had affected his play.
"I think it's bothering him. I don't think there's any question there, as for how much, I think a lot of it is how it goes the first couple of possessions you're in in the game," Williams said. "Do you get off to a good start and do you feel good about it? If that's the case then you sort of forget about it. If things are bothering you and you're not getting off to such a good start, you're thinking about the ankle probably more than you would be."
Langford scored a career-high 19 points in Kansas' victory Dec. 1 at Arizona and posted double-figure point totals in four of Kansas' first five games. Since then, though, he has averaged just 3.5 points and two rebounds per game in Kansas' victories against Wake Forest and UMKC.

Jayhawks hope to join elite 1,800-win club
By Ryan Wood
Kansan sportswriter
As the clock expired in Kentucky's 79-59 route of North Carolina on Saturday, the Wildcats won a little more than a tradition-rich basketball game against a struggling Tar Heel squad.
"For us to get 1,800 is amazing." Kentucky coach Tubby Smith said after the game.
Kansas is third on the list and has its sight set on reaching the recently crossed milestone before too much longer.
With the victory, Kentucky became the first school in NCAA history to win 1,800 games. North Carolina is second on the list with 1,782.

Kansas' win total is better than that of
storied programs such as Duke and UCLA, and with the success the Jayhawks have had lately, they won't be caught any time soon.
"I think those things just support the theory that Kansas basketball has been important for a long, long time," Williams said. "The tradition, the history we have here and the appreciation we have for basketball is never lessened. It's always been something that's important to the people."
Williams said through the years he has had his teams autograph basketballs after the 1,400th,1,500th,1,600th and 1,700th victories, and he hoped to add another one to his collection soon.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Dec. 11). You're an independent cuss. Home and family may not have been your top priority. You're always interested in learning, though. You may find that you didn't know as much as you thought you did. Old assumptions may prove to be false. Keep an open mind.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7. You're generally outspoken, but you should keep quiet now. You don't have to lie, but you don't have to reveal everything. Warn a friend so that she doesn't, either.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7. When you give your word, you mean it. This is not something you do lightly. That's why you take your time and think things over first. Stick to that habit.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 7. There's a lot more to be done, and it's tougher than you expected. It should pay pretty well, though, so dig in. Postpone travel until later.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7. There are still a few things on your mind, but you're less worried now. You should be, anyway. It should be getting obvious that love will prevail. However, prepare for technical difficulties.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 6.
Slow down. Take a moment to think things
over. Or an hour, or a day. Think about the
possible consequences of your actions.
Leave as little as possible to somebody
else's control.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 6. There's something you don't know, and figuring it out would give you a distinct advantage. It might even help you get into a line of work you like better. Check it out.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 7.
This next part isn't easy, but you can do it if you try. The money is available, but not just for the asking. You'll have to work for it, and the job is a challenge. Creativity is required. You'll love that.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov.21). Today is a 7. You can get whatever you need from the same place where you got it before. With contacts you've already established, you'll be able to keep your costs low. Some things you may get for free, or in a trade. Call in favors that friends owe.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 6.
Your life has been a roller coaster lately.
Again, hold back and wait. Review your
plans. Think about consequences. Work
things out in your head or on paper before
you have to do them in real life.
P
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 7.
Wipe that grin off your face. Look like you mean business. A person who can wield a lot of power — and who may be the person who signs your paycheck — is reviewing the troops. Stifle the urge to make a wise crack. It would not get a laugh.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is an 8.
There might be a million ways you could express your love, but you usually find the perfect way. You're great at caring for and fussing over people. A gentle person needs that from you now.

Cornhusker wins Heisman
The Associated Press
Nebraska quarterback Eric Crouch won college football's top individual award by 62 points over Florida quarterback Rex Grossman on Saturday night in the fourth tightest race in the 67-year history of the award.

WESTERN RULES CHAMPION
Just 585 of the 924 eligible Heisman voters cast their ballots, a 63.3 percent return.
Jim Corcoran, president of the Downtown Athletic Club, said the light response was because of an extraordinary series of events, beginning with the terrorist attacks.
Eric Crouch, Nebraska quarterback, holds the Heisman trophy after winning it by a slight margin.
Indeed, the situation was unique:
"We did everything we could to ensure the integrity of the vote, even extend the deadline a day-and-a-half," Corcoran said. "Under the circumstances, I think it turned out pretty good."
- College football games of Sept. 15 were postponed, many of them rescheduled to Dec. 1, turning a light final day of games into a 23-game schedule and pushing the Southeastern Conference title game to Dec. 8, the same day as the Heisman announcement.
The athletic club was damaged in the terrorist attacks, which claimed the lives of 11 club members, and the Heisman presentation was moved to a midtown hotel. It was the first time the trophy was not awarded at the club.
There was never a clear-cut Heisman front-runner, so voters waited longer before making a decision, then hundreds never sent in a ballot. Or
Dec. 1, three of the top contenders — Grossman, Miami's Ken Dorsey and Oregon's Joey Harrington — played their final games. Crouch had played his final game a week earlier.
■ Mail service has been affected by the search for letters containing anthrax. The deadline for returning ballots had been at noon Dec. 7 but was extended to Saturday afternoon, hours before Crouch won the award.
Corcoran said the athletic club never considered moving the date of the Heisman presentation but added he would-evaluate the voting process and perhaps cut the number of voters. Ballots this year went out to 870 media members and 53 Heisman winners. There was one fan ballot.
"Do we need that many? That's what we need to address." Corcoran said. "Sometime down the road we'll figure this out."
But in the closest Heisman vote ever — Bo Jackson's 45-point win over Chuck Long in 1985 — only 781 of the 1,050 eligible voters (74.3 percent) cast ballots.
Voter apathy is nothing new with Heisman balloting. An 80 percent return is about average, and it's rare when 90 percent of the voters cast ballots.
In 2000, Chris Weinke won the Heisman over Josh Heupel by 76 points, with 796 of 922 voters, or 86.3 percent, cast ballots.
When Billy Sims won in 1978, only 53 percent of the ballots (541 of 1,050) were returned.
were rewritten
The accounting firm Deloitte & Touche LLP.mails out ballots in November after receiving names and addresses from the DAC, which has sectional representatives responsible for updating voting lists by early September.
Voters are asked to list their top three Heisman choices, with three points for first place, two for second and one for third.
Crouch finished with 770 points. based on 162 first-place votes, 98 second-place votes and 88 third-place votes. Grossman had 708 points.
Notre Dame works to win again
The Associated Press
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Myth mixes regularly with reality at Notre Dame, sometimes making it tough to tell the two apart.
Irish fans don't worry whether coach Knute Rocke's famous pregame speech of "Win one for the Gipper" is based on fact, or whether the Four Horsemen were immortalized more for Grantland Rice's prose than their athletic ability.
N
They are part of the Golden Dome mystique that celebrates everything from a walk-on player in the movie Rudy to
touchdown Jesus on the school library to the two coaches with the best winning percentages in NCAA history in Rockne and Frank Leahy.
Athletic director Kevin White is concerned, though, with what he describes as another myth: that Notre Dame's stringent academic standards and difficult schedule stop the Irish from vying for national championships.
After introducing George O'Leary as the new coach on Sunday, White said he has no doubt Notre Dame can be a powerhouse again.
"If you look at the past, we've recovered from difficult times," he said. "I think we'll find our way to do it again."
Ara Parseghian heard the questions about academics and schedule when he became Notre Dame coach in 1964. Lou Holtz heard it in 1985. They both won national championships in their third seasons.
Among those who follow college football closely, there's a firm belief that the Irish can quickly wake up the echoes.
"Notre Dame can win, and they will win again." Holtz said.
College football pundit Beano Cook said Notre Dame should win a national championship every five years. Paul Hornung, who won a Heisman at Notre Dame in 1956, thinks the Irish will win again. ESPN analyst Lee Corso said there was no reason Notre Dame can't vie regularly for the national championship.
"Notre Dame has no problems," Corso said. "None, Nada."
Before he was fired on Dec. 2, Bob
Davie said that, even though the Irish haven't finished in the Top 10 since 1993, he had no doubt they could become a national power again.
But as he left the job, Davie talked about academics and the schedule making it harder at Notre Dame.
"All I know is the bottom line is there's some good college football players out there that we could not and did not recruit," Davie said.
White disagreed that Notre Dame can't recruit enough top players.
"I think we can in the thick of it,
Ton 10. Ton 15 every year," he said.
Dan Saracino, assistant provost for admissions, said that every few years stories emerged that Notre Dame was tightening requirements to reign in a coach or loosening requirements to allow the football team to become more competitive.
But Tom Lemming, a recruiting analyst, said he interviewed top recruits and found out their gradepoint averages and college entrance exams. He said Notre Dame had lowered its standards the past two years.
Stadium upgrade would help team. Royals owner says
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Royals owner David Glass says his team urgently needs a stadium upgrade to provide the increased revenue major league baseball expects of smaller-market franchises.
The Associated Press
But Glass said there wouldn't be any threat to move the team or put it up for sale if he didn't get his way.
"No, no, no." Glass told The Kansas City Star on Sunday. "I wouldn't do that. If it gets voted down, if it doesn't get done, then we would work really hard to find other ways to improve with what we have.
"I would absolutely stop short of saying anything that sounded like a threat or doom and gloom."

Royals
The former Wal-Mart executive who bought the Royals last year
who bought the Royals last year for $96 million is pushing hard for a $150 million Kauffman Stadium renovation plan that he estimates could produce an additional $30 million in annual revenue for his team.
that boost in revenue, Glass said, would enable the long-struggling Royals to become more competitive. The team has had losing records for seven years in a row, and last season's 65-97 mark was its worst ever.
"Whatever additional revenues we generate, as long as we follow our break-even philosophy, that money would go into getting better players." Glass said.
There are many obstacles to approval of the stadium renovation plan, which calls for $125 million in public funding, with the Glass family to add $25 million of its own money. In addition, during the life of a new stadium lease extending through 2027, the Royals want another $50 million to $75 million in renovations.
The work is tethered to a $1.8 billion downtown revitalization package that also includes a new arena that could compete for tax money.
Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig acknowledged that the 28-year-old Kauffman Stadium was relatively new after his appearance before a congressional committee in Washington last week. "But it needs work," he said. "There's no question about that."
Glass said he thought that without new revenue, his team had little chance to regain the stature it enjoyed as a playoff contender from the mid-1970s through the early 1990s.
Under the proposal rolled out recently by Kansas City, Mo., Mayor Kay Barnes, the $125 million in renovations would allow the Royals to widen concourses at the stadium, expand concession outlets, add two brand-name restaurants beyond the outfield and create more retail opportunities. The work would be completed by the start of the 2005 season.
Selig told the House Judiciary Committee last week that baseball lost about $519 million last season on revenues of $3.5 billion. The Royals were one of only five of the 30 major league teams that did not lose money in 2001. The team's profit of $1.47 million was made possible by $16.13 million from revenue sharing.
Last season the Royals produced $63.7 million in local revenue and expect a similar amount in 2002. Teams that have moved into new facilities have seen a sharp revenue increase — Milwaukee went from $69.6 million to $113.4 million, Pittsburgh from $70.4 million to $108.7 million.
The major league average was $118.3 million, led by the New York Yankees with $242.2 million.

Comedy CD profits go to charity
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — More than a mood shift, it was an emotional somersault.
Then again, the very purpose of his trip was a strange juxtaposition. The star of television's Everybody Loves Raymond was trying to drum up sales for a comedy CD to benefit victims of a tragedy.
Without that connection, he'd probably still be back in California.
During a visit to his hometown, Ray Romano's schedule called for him to tour the ruins of the World Trade Center with his brother, a retired New York City policeman, then be whisked uptown to tape a Sesame Street appearance.
Romano's first comedy CD, a recording of his appearance at Carnegie Hall on June 9, 1999, was scheduled to be released on Oct. 2 — timed to coincide with
the opening of another TV season and to make sure it was in stores for the holiday shopping season.
Sept. 11 instantly made it all seem meaningless.
Romano canceled promotional appearances. The CD seemed likely to go unnoticed in store bins until Romano decided to donate all proceeds from any sales to the September 11th Fund.
"I really just want it to do well so I'm making a substantial contribution," Romano said.
So far, it's a modest one. In a market in which comedy discs are a hard sell, Romano's "Live at Carnegie Hall" CD had sold about 16,000 copies in a little more than two months.
Romano's comedy is different from what people who watch Ray Barone every week on CBS might expect, even though Everybody Loves Raymond was born out of his standup act.
"Ray Barone is a PG guy," Romano said. "My standup is slightly more edgy. It's like PG-13.
In its sixth season, Everybody Loves Raymond has built into a dependable hit, the anchor to CBS' strong Monday schedule. Much was made of viewers turning to Friends for post-Sept. 11 comfort. But Raymond has quietly rung up its best ratings this season, with the Nov. 26 episode the most-watched ever.
Romano has been nominated for three Emmy awards for lead actor in a comedy, but hasn't won. His co-star, Patricia Heaton, has won two straight Emmys for portraying Barone's long-suffering wife.
"It's a weird compromise. You don't want the audience to dictate what you do, but you also have to take into account what fits you."

Travel: Players to see ex'Hawk star
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Freshmen forward Wayne Simien never had the opportunity to play against Pierce. Simien was still recovering from his shoulder injury this summer when former Jayhawks returned to Lawrence to play pick-up games with the team. Simien said that he looked forward to seeing Pierce play.
"He's a KU great," Simien said. "It's definitely good to see him, especially seeing him having the success now signing
the new contract. It's good to see a former Kansas player do well."
According to ESPN.com, Pierce signed a six-year contract extension offer with the Boston Celtics worth $84 million.
Williams is also excited to see his former All-American play. He said that Pierce's love for the game was part of his success and that Pierce was the type of player who would play basketball any time day or night.
"If you call Paul in the middle of the
summer and say you have a great game, a great bunch of guys to play pick-up at 10 a.m., Paul's going to be there." Williams said.
"And if you say 10 p.m., Paul's going to be there. His love for the game is a big part of his success. He's never going to lose that, and he's never going to feel like he can't get better. I'm looking forward to seeing him play tomorrow night."

Fate of teams to be decided soon
LAURIESISK/KANSAN
The Associated Press
BOSTON — Players and owners were close to an agreement last night that would delay eliminating teams until at least 2003, officials on both sides said.
The deal would ensure that the Minnesota Twins and the Montreal Expos, the teams most likely to be the targets, would survive one more season and that the jobs of about 60 major leaguers would be saved next year.
Owners would gain the union's acknowledgment that management unilaterally had the right to fold franchises. Owners have maintained they must bargain merely about the effects of contraction, such as a dispersal draft of players.
"There have been ongoing discussions for several days on this topic," said Sandy Alderson, executive vice president for baseball operations in the commissioner's office. "A deal, if
it comes, could come at any time."
Talks were recessed last night, and the sides agreed to meet again today in an attempt to finalize a deal. Both sides said the sides were close together.
"Negotiations are ongoing," said Rob Manfred, the owners' chief labor lawyer.
The hearing on the union's grievance was to have resumed yesterday, but the sides instead spent the day negotiating an agreement.
Several officials in the commissioner's office, speaking on the condition of anonymity, have said in recent days that it is too late to eliminate teams before next season, but commissioner Bud Selig kept on saying he intended to press ahead with folding two teams.
Management discussed the possibility of a settlement last week in general terms, but the talks in New
York became more serious yesterday, one of the officials said.
The Minnesota courts have put contraction on hold with a district judge issuing an injunction that forces the Twins to play next year at the Metrodome. Selig's lawyers failed to get an accelerated review by Minnesota's Supreme Court, and the injunction stands until at least Dec. 27, when the Minnesota Court of Appeals is to hear the case.
In a separate lawsuit yesterday, baseball asked a federal judge in Tallahassee to issue a restraining order that would stop an investigation by Florida Attorney General Bob Butterworth, who says he is concerned the Florida Marlins and Tampa Bay Devil Rays are targets for elimination.
The players' association is concerned Selig's stance has created uncertainly in the free-agent market.
The Associated Press
BOSTON — The New York Yankees just about finalized their deal with Jason Giambi yesterday, a seven-year contract approaching $120 million.
The team and player began making arrangements for the first baseman to take a physical, a baseball official and a lawyer familiar with the talks said, on the condition they not be identified.
When a player takes a physical, it usually a sign that a deal is imminent. The contract will be worth $118 million to $120 million, the sources said, with the amount hinged to the pavout schedule.
At $120 million, the contract would have an average annual value of $17.14 million. That would be the fifth-highest in baseball behind Texas shortstop Alex Rodriguez ($25.2 million), Boston outfielder Manny Ramirez ($20 million), Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter ($18.9 million) and Chicago Cubs outfielder Sammy Sosa ($18 million).
If there are no problems with the physical.
the contract could be finalized later this week, the sources said.
Oakland general manager Billy Beane, arriving at the winter meetings, said he hadn't heard recently from Giambi, the heart of his lineup. The Athletics haven't moved from their $91 million, seven-year offer, making the Yankees confident Giambi will sign with them.
"The way it has been reported, it seems like it has already happened." Beane said.
While the A's are offering less money, Giambi has spent his entire professional career with the team, and his brother, Jeremy, plays for Oakland.
"I don't feel that we're out of it," Beane said. "But we have to be realistic."
The 30-year-old Giambi hit .342 with 38 homers and 120 RBIs last season, finishing second in voting for the AL MVP award after winning in 2000.
New York also moved closer to re-signing pitcher Sterling Hitchcock, and the Yankees talked with the agent for free-agent outfielder Rondell White.

Flex Plan to provide on-campus meal account
By Christina Neff Kansan managing editor
Marita Robinson eats a sack lunch between classes every day. A Lawrence freshman who lives in McCollum Hall, Robinson said there was no way she could make it from her classes to Ekdahl Dining Commons for lunch every day.
"I just have an hour in between (classes) on most days, so that isn't enough time to walk back," she said.
Thousands of KU students face a similar problem, and some say the ritual is unfair. They say the University should provide a way for residence hall students to eat on campus.
The Department of Student Housing is introducing a program next fall hoping to ease some of these frustrations. The Flex Plan will allow students to access an account on their KUIDs to use at the eating establishments in the Kansas and Burge Unions and at Wescoe Terrace.
There is a catch, though.
The plan will raise student housing fees $20, which goes directly into the meal accounts. After students have used their $20, they can add more out of their own pockets, but $20 is the extent of credit included in the meal plan.
Mary Ann Graham, manager of the KU card center, said the Flex Plan was really no different than the computer chip on KUID cards that was already available to students.
A student's Flex Plan account, however, will be programmed onto the card's magnetic stripe instead of onto the computer chip.
"The stripe is online if you lose your card you still have your money." Graham said. "With the chip, if you lose your card, you lose your money."
The meal plan is not without its drawbacks, however.
Students can save 15 percent by using the chip. This discount would not be part of the deal with the Flex Plan. Students would also be unable to use the meal plan account for vending machines.
"That is not the plan we are looking for, but it is a good step," said Steppe, a St. Joseph, Mo., junior said.
Matt Steppe, a student senator representing residence halls, is spearheading efforts on behalf of students to provide dining alternatives, and he said the housing department's plan was not perfect.
Nona Golledge, assistant director for student housing dining services, said the department was still discussing details on how the program would be implemented.
It is examining the programs of several other universities while determining its policies. Golledge said KU officials had visited Kansas State University and the University of Missouri, among others.
Duke University in Durham, N.C., already has a system in place similar to what Steppe would like for KU.
Duke students receive points when they buy their meal plans. They are then able to spend those points as cash at select restaurants on and off campus.
Steppe said he hoped that KU's program evolves into a system similar to Duke's.
"Students are very receptive to the idea." he said.
Steppe said there was no quick solution, but he said the student housing department and the Unions had a duty to serve students fairly.
"The students want it and it is their duty to give it to them," he said.

Commission votes 4-1 to build addition, garage at St. Lawrence Center
By Courtney Craigmile Kansan staff writer
The St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center got the go-ahead last night to build a two-level parking garage and a 16,000-square-foot addition to the Administration/Religious Education Center.
The City Commission voted 4-1 to approve the new site plan. Mayor Mike
"I may cast the stone opposing vore just to side with the neighbors," Rundle said.
Rundle was the only dissenting vote.
Commissioners Sue Hack, Marty Kennedy, Jim Henry and David Dunfield voted to approve the additions after listening to two and a half hours of public comment on the issue.
About 30 neighborhood residents told commissioners why they opposed the construction at 1631 Crescent Road.
"Everybody in this neighborhood is concerned about what is happening here." resident Faye Watson said. "This has been our neighborhood for many,
many years, and it seems like it's being taken away from us."
The four commissioners said they approved the plan because the center was a benefit to the University of Kansas community and students.
Watson said she felt as if the education center was becoming too large for her single-family neighborhood.
"The need is there and the center is growing. It is appropriately located that close to the University, and it provides a service to the students," commissioner Henry said.
Derek Teeter, Oakley senior, spoke before the commission to express how
influential the center had been during his time at KU.
"I came from a small town, and I was looking for a transition to a large city and university. St. Lawrence provided that, and the location is part of the reason why," he said.
The center has daily Mass and provides activities for KU students.
Construction on the new parking garage and building space will begin next summer. The parking garage is expected to be completed around January 2003.

A credit card can be convenient, but overspending can lead some college students into a Debt Trap
STORY BY LUKE DALEY PHOTOS BY JOHN NOWAK
All that Mary Corcoran has left to show for her $10,500 credit card debt is a closet full of clothes she seldom wears.
They hang untouched in the closet of her room, serving as a reminder of the money she spent, the sorority house she can no longer afford and the debt she started racking up four years ago that she is now trying to repay.
Corcoran, Lawrence senior, is one of many students at the University who rely on credit cards as a primary source of instant spending gratification yet later find that high interest rates make it difficult to repay the debt.
Getting credit cards is easy because companies often solicit on campus — something Student Senate wants stopped. Senate endorsed a petition asking the University to ban credit card solicitors from campus, saying the solicitors provide no educational service and facilitate harmful spending practices.
According to the American Bank Institute, the average college student owes $2,748 in credit card debt and 10 percent of students with credit cards have debt of more than $7,000. SUSPECT SPENDING
SUSPECT SPENDING
Corcoran charged her way into debt by using eight different credit cards by the time she was 19.
"I look at it as a game, and I didn't have the right strategy." Corcoran said.
"I don't have a car. I don't have anything to show for it, just clothes that I really don't even wear anymore."
Corcoran's friends and family warned her what could happen if she kept spending, but the pull to spend what she wanted, when she wanted, took over.
Paul Corcoran, Mary's father, said he didn't know the extent of the debt his daughter charged up through credit cards.
"She has a tendency to buy 'cool' things and then stop wearing them," Paul Corcoran said.
In March of 2001, Mary Corcoran moved out of her sorority, Gamma Phi
Beta, when her debt left her without the cash to pay for it.
Corcoran said she went to Mazatlan, Mexico for spring break last year by using financial aid money that was supposed to pay for her housing.
"I had never been on a big trip," Corcoran said. "I thought, what the hell."
She intended to pay her Gamma Phi Beta bills when she returned, but she was unaware that in her absence, threatening bills were arriving from credit card companies. She had changed her address and statements were being mailed to her old residence.
Coronar returned to find large credit card bills she had to start paying immediately and an expensive sorority.
She had no choice but to move back into her parents' home.
DEFENSE AGAINST DEBT
In January, Coronor tried to escape her web of credit card debts by consolidating them through a financial company. The debt became even bigger.
The debt became even bigger.
She said that while she thought her debts were being consolidated, credit card companies were still charging her interest and late fees.
Corcoran then sought help from Robert Baker, credit counselor for Consumer Credit Counseling Service in Lawrence.
Baker, who agreed to discuss Corcoran's problems publicly only after she gave him permission, said the consolidation company didn't tell Corcoran that her first month's payment went to paying the company's service charge and not to reducing her debt. The confusion caused her to miss a month's worth of payments.
"The cards that she wasn't on on, she became late on." Baker said. "That resulted in late fees that sent her over her limit, causing her to get fees for charging over her limit."
FRAUDULENT FINANCES
One former KU student, Eman Tabrizi, spent his way into $5,000 of
nip as is
Lawrence senior Mary Corcoran has accumulated $10,500 worth of debt on credit cards in four years. The average college student owes $2,748 in unpaid credit card bills.

Student studying cancer now has to fight it
By Courtney Craigmile
Kansan staff writer
But unlike most KU students, Boos has cancer.
Lee Boos is like most KU students: He likes KU basketball, he likes to hang out with friends, and he studies hard.
The nodular sclerosing subtype of Hodgkin's disease was diagnosed in the Ellis senior on Halloween. He is 24.
According to the National Cancer Institute, that subtype of
"Cancer is a very lonely diagnosis," he said. "It's difficult, especially the timing, since this is my last year at KU. The diagnosis was very ironic since this is what I've studied for years."
Boos is majoring in human biology and has fulfilled the prerequisites for the pre-cytotech
Hodgkin's disease is most common in adolescents and adults. It is concentrated in the midchest region and has an 85 percent survival rate.
nology program so he can attend the cytotechnology program at the University of Kansas Medical Center. Cytotechnology is the science of diagnosing cancer.
"I've honestly been interested in cancer since I came to KU six years ago," he said.
The reality sets in
Boos' cancer began in his left lymph node right above his collar bone. He said the lymph node grew to about the size of a pingpong ball before he went to
the doctor.
"A swollen lymph node isn't something you get too excited about," he said. "Lymph nodes can be swollen for a number of reasons."
And because he didn't have any typical symptoms for Hodgkin's, he wasn't worried that he had the disease.
But his mom said she thought something was wrong with her son.

Hodgie Bricke, assistant dean of International Programs, said the program provided grants to all professors named as Fulbright Scholars.
Basow, associate professor of journalism, will be at Lanzhou University in Lanzhou, China, from February to July to discuss journalism in the global marketplace.
Katzman, associate professor of American studies, will teach a seminar on race and ethnicity at Kobe University in Japan from April to July.
Prum, associate professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, will continue to teach macro evolutionary studies of behavior, morphology and biogeography of Southeast Brazilian endemic birds at the State University of Campinas in Campinas, Brazil.
Two professors will come to the University from other countries as part of the program: Petr Boukharkine, professor of Russian literature, and Olena Kovalova, associate professor of economics and management. Boukharkine and Kovalova have been at the University this semester and will continue to teach in the Spring 2002 semester.

McPherson schools help victims of Sept. 11 attack
McPHERSON — They're not the kinds of holiday gifts that fill children's dreams, but the socks and lip balm being collected at McPherson schools are just what New York City's recovery workers wanted.
The items will be taken to New York by four teachers and 26 other people traveling at their own expense and using vacation time to help those still feeling the effects of Sept. 11.
The group will be the second delegation of "Kansas Volunteer Aid," an effort started by Steve Hamilton of Louisburg. He headed the first group of Kansas volunteers who worked at the World Trade Center site during Thanksgiving.
Jana Koehn, a special education teacher at McPhrerson's Eisenhower Elementary School, will be among those heading to New York on Dec. 26 to work with homeless shelters and soup kitchens near the scene of the tragedy.
Koehn said the group received a list of items needed by the firefighters and recovery workers at the World Trade Center site and decided on work socks and lip balm.

U.S.'s largest grocery chain says 1,500 jobs will be cut
CINCINNATI — Kroger Co. said yesterday it would cut 1,500 jobs after the sluggish economy helped push third-quarter earnings down 33 percent at the nation's largest supermarket operator.
the job reduction affects mostly management and clerical jobs and is to be done in 2002, the company said. The cutback amounts to less than 0.5 percent of the company's total work force of 312,000 people.

Afghan, U.S. troops trap al-Qaida forces in caves
The Associated Press
TORA BORA, Afghanistan — Afghan tribal forces overran some al-Qaida cave hide-outs at Tora Bora yesterday and trapped a group of Osama bin Laden's foreign fighters, who said they wanted to surrender. The Afghan forces also were backed by intense U.S. air strikes.
After making a last stand on a wind-swept mountain top, hundreds of foreign fighters tried to escape a relentless tribal advance. But when shelling trapped them in a rocky canyon, some contacted tribal commanders by radio and pleaded for the chance to give up.
Gen. Richard B. Myers, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, said Tora Bora—located in the 15,400-foot White Mountains of eastern Afghanistan—was "the last effective al-Qaida stronghold." He said that U.S. troops entered some the "literally thousands" of caves in the area, though not necessarily ones with al-
Mohammed Zaman, defense chief for the tribal eastern alliance, called a pause in fighting and gave al-Qaida forces until 8 a.m. Afghanistan time today to surrender or face a new attack.
The whereabouts of bin Laden, who U.S. officials suspected was in Tora Bora, remained unclear. Another tribal commander claimed local intelligence officers spotted bin Laden with al-Qaida troops in the area Monday, but no independent verification was possible.
Oaida bunkers.
"I don't know if he is dead or alive. Tomor-
row we may know." Zaman said of bin Laden.
Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumfseld said there was a "major fight" at Tora Bora and cautioned that the battle was not over. "The attack is continuing. ... (Al-Qaida) people in there are fanatical, forces opposing them are determined," he told reporters at the Pentagon.
He said it was possible bin Laden's fighters could flee to other parts of Afghanistan or across the nearby border into Pakistan. It is impossible to "put the cork in the bottle," he said.
Pakistan intelligence officials said their country had deployed 4,000 troops along a 25-mile stretch of border nearby and stepped up aerial surveillance to block possible escape routes for bin Laden or his men.
The world helps America mourn
The Associated Press
At the White House and in outer space, on a factory picket line, at statehouses and farflung embassies, Americans and their allies paused yesterday to commemorate the instant three months earlier when the first hijacked iettler struck the World Trade Center.
Drums rolled, guns fired in somber salute the national anthem was played or sung. But many of the ceremonies centered on a moment of silence.
"Just the silence, I think, was better than words," said Lt. Gov. Gary Sherrer of Kansas after a ceremony at the Statehouse in Topeka. "It smoke for itself."
"Every one of the innocents who died on September the 11th was the most important person on earth to somebody," President Bush said. "Every death extinguished a world."
The White House commemoration began with a drum roll at 8:46 a.m. EDT, followed by The Star-Spangled Banner.
Elsewhere around Washington, ceremonies took place at the Capitol, the Justice Department, the Transportation Department and the Pentagon. Education Secretary Rod Paige, visi-
iting Washington's Duke Ellington School of the Arts, urged students to cherish their freedom to express themselves.
In New York City, firefighters, police officers and construction workers at the World Trade Center site interrupted search and cleanup operations for an interfaith prayer service. A lone trumpeter played a slow, mournful Star-Spangled Banner.
As generators hummed in the background, Muslim, Jewish and Catholic leaders recited prayers for the dead and the survivors. "They took down those structures, but they will not take away the spirit," said Rabbi Joseph Potasnik, a Fire Department chaplain.
Astronauts aboard space shuttle Endeavour and the international space station joined the commemoration, listening to the U.S. and Russian national anthems.
Frank Culbertson, completing his stint as space station commander, said the attacks have given crew members greater resolve to promote international cooperation in space.
Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair, a staunch American ally in the war on terrorism, was joined by Secretary of State Colin Powell for commemorations in London.
Study: Obesity a problem for American children
CHICAGO — American children are getting fatter at an alarming rate, with the percentage of significantly overweight black and Hispanic youngsters more than doubling during the last 12 years and climbing 50 percent among whites, a study shows.
By 1998, nearly 22 percent of black children ages 4 to 12 were overweight, as were 22 percent of Hispanic youngsters and 12 percent of whites, according to researchers who analyzed data from a national survey.
In 1986, the same survey showed that about 8 percent of black children. 10 percent of Hispanic youngsters and 8 percent of whites were significantly overweight.
"Prior studies show it took 30 years for the overweight prevalence to double in American children," said Dr. Richard Strauss, a pediatrician at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. This study should be "a call to action," said Strauss, who conducted the research with Harold Pollack of the University of Michigan.
Among the reasons given for the increase: Children are spending much more time watching television, using computers and playing video games, and busy parents are relying more on fast food to feed their families.

Curiosity leads Bulgarians to buy Hitler's Mein Kampf
SOFIA, Bulgaria — Adolf Hitler's autobiography has been published legally for the first time in Bulgaria, and vendors say it is selling well in a country where anti-Jewish sentiment is traditionally low.
Mein Kampfhas not been publicly available in Bulgaria until now because it lacked two legal requirements: a critical preface stating the book is anti-Semitic and the name of a publisher.
Bulgaria was the only Nazi ally to save its Jewish citizens. Despite a deportation order of the pro-German government in the spring of 1943, Bulgaria's King Boris III rescinded the decree after a deluge of protests and appeals from lawmakers, clergymen and intellectuals.
Even now, the right-wing skin head gangs targeting Jews and other minorities elsewhere in the former communist parts of Europe are relatively rare in Bulgaria.

Debt: Credit cards can change students' lives for the worse
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
He said his employer tabulated the fraud at $920 and confronted him with an ultimatum.
"My boss offered me one of two options," the former KU student said. "One, he could press charges for credit card fraud. Two, I could pay him back, which I obviously did."
He didn't have cash to pay his employer and he didn't want to tell his parents what he had done, so he took out a cash advance from his Visa card to pay the fraud debt.
With that, Tabrizi was locked into a debt he couldn't pay off completely. Constant spending and high interest rates kept biting into his wallet.
"Up until this point, I had never had a balance on my credit card," Tabrizi said. "I had always paid them off at the end of the month.
"It's like jumping off a building and you need someone to catch you and that credit card is your safety net."
He said being in debt didn't stop him from spending more money with his credit card, even when he was between jobs. He ate out in restaurants, took in movies and bought groceries.
"There was no money coming in, but I was using my credit card like I had tons of money." Tabrizi raid
Baker, the credit counselor, has seen many students with credit card debt who don't want their parents to find out.
TRAPPED BY INTEREST
He said 20 percent of all clients he counseled were KU students.
Baker provides a debt payment scenario to his clients illustrating how easy it can be to get trapped by high interest credit card debt.
He said a student who had $1,000 worth of credit card debt and a 21% interest rate would have to pay $210 in interest for that year. If the student paid only the minimum monthly payment of $20 every month, the principal amount owed would be reduced by only $30 for the year. The student would have paid $240, but their debt would still be $970 because of high interest.
Baker said paying off that $1,000 debt with minimum payments would take nine years.

Judy Lewis, a credit and debt consultant, said credit card companies preyed on college students who spent on impulse. She said providing inexperienced credit consumers with a tool enabling them to purchase without funds created a good chance they would fall behind and pay high interest rates.
Mary Corcoran sorts through her large wardrobe, containing clothes she purchased on credit. She seldom wears the clothes now.
"A credit card is a trap," Lewis said. "It's like a spider's web. Once you're in the web, its hard to get out."
She said when it came to using
(1)
credit, students didn't arrive at college prepared.
Mary Corcoran was one of those students who got a crash course in credit card responsibility.
She said she received six of her credit cards through solicitors on campus when she was a freshman.
She applied for the cards just to get free T-shirts, posters and sunglasses offered by solicitors.
"I really have no idea what possessed me," Corcoran said.
Based on her experience with credit cards, Corcoran said she would advise other students not to get one.
"A credit card is a trap. It's like a spider's web. Once you're in the web, it's hard to get out."
The petition received Student Senate's endorsement in November by a 35 to 20 vote.
"I'm in full support of not giving credit cards to someone my age." Corcoran said. SCRUTINIZING SOLICITATION
Mills said solicitors didn't act responsibly by hawking free merchandise to entice students to sign up for credit cards.
"What they don't tell students is that if they get rejected for the card, that affects their credit rating." Mills said.
Justin Mills wants to use his position as student body president to prevent students from being caught in a credit card trap. His solution is to ban credit card solicitors from campus.
Several universities have successfully banned credit card solicitors from campuses, including the University of California at Berkeley, Fort Hays State University and Louisiana Tech University. So far, the bans have been enforced without incident.
Eric Meyer, who solicited for American Express on Wescoe Beach in October, handed out "free" T-shirts to students in exchange for filling out an application.
Robert Baker runs Consumer Credit Counseling Service, 2518 Ridge Court. His business attracts debt-ridden students, who seek his counsel and assistance to salvage their finances.
He said he signed up about 40 students, but only after applicants were given information about how the credit cards work
Kelly Faulconer, Lawrence freshman, stopped by Meyer's table and filled out a credit card

application. In return, she got a shirt reading "SEXSI" in the style of a Pepsi logo.
"I just did it for the T-shirt because they told me you could just cut the card up if you don't want it," Faulconer said.
She wasn't sure if she would activate the card. LIMITED EDUCATION
Many credit card companies say they provide information to customers about responsible credit card use.
Tom Scudder, Customer Support vice president for Five Star Bank in Colorado Springs, Col., said credit card companies made money primarily on interest rates and, to a lesser extent, on fees.
He said there were advantages to the proper use of credit cards, such as receiving rebates, airline miles and having the convenience of "buying now, paying later."
He said most students qualified for a credit card because, ironically, they didn't yet have an established credit rating that could disqualify them. Credit card companies don't have sole responsibility for educating students about how credit works, he said.
He wants to set up an organization on campus geared toward providing students with direction and education regarding credit.
"They really consider it the consumer's responsibility to educate themselves." Scudder said.
Robert Baker agreed that education was the best defense against credit card debt.
"I think a lot of students don't make an appointment because they are apprehensive," Baker
said. "It's important to empower students to make their money work for them, rather than against them."
BEATING THE SYSTEM
Katie Craig considers herself one student who spends responsibly and understands how credit cards work.
She said her MasterCard debt was $700 and that she usually paid at least the minimum every month, more if she had the cash.
Craig, Hutchinson junior, said she didn't overspend on either of her two credit cards.
"It's really easy to spend a lot," Craig said. "You just have to be careful."
Some students, such as Eman Tabrizi, try to avoid paying interest by playing the credit card version of musical chairs. He transfers a debt onto a new card that promised no interest on a balance for six to 12 months.
He said when the debt on his credit cards reached $2,000, he transferred it to an AT&T credit card to avoid the interest rates on his old card.
He said borrowing money from a credit card to pay another credit card debt put off dealing with his debts for a few more months.
BREAKING THE CYCLE
Tabrizi found out that spending money that he had not yet earned was a mistake that still costs him.
He regretted taking out the cash advance to get out of immediate trouble with his employer, but he was more disappointed with the reason he had to do so.
"It's put a lot of pressure on me to finish my degree," said Tabrizi, who is trying to complete his associate's degree at Johnson County Community College. "I feel the pressure of having to pay the bills."
"I'm not one of those people who thinks that credit cards are a curse," Tabrizi said.
Tabrizi said the only person he had to blame was himself.

With his support, Corcoran is working toward a debt-free future. She said it would be four years before the debt would be paid off.
Her two remaining cards are maxed out and useless, just filling a place in her wallet. She cut up the other six and gave them to her dad as a Christmas present. He still has them in a dresser drawer and calls them the best present she ever gave him.

Blacks, Latinos not only minorities in greek system
At a university where issues of diversity are constantly being addressed, the focus has turned to the Greek community as an "island of White isolation." Why? The focus could have easily been the racial make-up of the faculty, scholarship halls, or the Kansan staff itself. But it is the Greek community that falls prey to bias disguised as facts.
I am writing as a contributor to "A Sense of Brotherhood," the Dec. 11 article about diversity in the greek community.
Some of the terms that were used throughout the article should first be defined, "Blacks" and "Latinos" were used synonymously with "minorities," although minorities are not limited to these two ethnic groups. Let's not forget Asians, Native Americans, those with physical challenges, gays, lesbians, Catholics, Jews and non-traditional students, to name a few. "Diversity" is also offered as a substitute for "ethnic diversity" although the word "diversity" simply refers to differences.

PANCHITRA SHIVSINGH
The article claimed that the greek community should have at least 285 minorities to coincide with the university statistics, but it was unclear who this should include. Our greek community exceeds this amount, when the true definition of "minority" is employed.
In addition, Black is an adjective. It may be used to describe a person, but should not be the noun by which a person is classified. As a Filipino-American, I was surprised that I was lumped into the "White" category, along with the other nine Asian-American women in my traditionally Caucasian sorority. In an article wrought with ideas of political correctness and equality for all, the
research about the terms that describe these ethnic groups correctly is lacking
Regarding recruitment efforts that did not "target or succeed in recruiting Blacks and Latinos," I believe that nothing should be done besides educating everyone about the opportunity to join any organization where they feel comfortable. If I found out that I became a member of my sorority simply because of my ethnic background, I would make that an issue worthy of a front-page article on unequal opportunities for different races.
Skewed "facts" somehow found their place into this article as well. The method of collecting statistics about minorities in the Greek community was an unconventional one to say the least. It does not seem accurate to count only the people in the yearbook who appear to be minorities. This is especially inaccurate when some of the chapters were not represented in the yearbook.
Even simple mathematics seemed to be biased. When one takes the total number of members (3,146) multiplied by the percent of the KU student body that is African-American (2.6 percent), one obtains a product of 82, not 114 as was stated in the article. One then begins to wonder where the number came from of minorities that we "should" have as members.
Although this was undoubtedly a researched story, it must be said that just because an article contains facts does not mean that it is unbiased. The facts in writing, as well as how quotes are used, are at the hands of the writer. It is true that the ethnic diversity at the University of Kansas could be improved, but the University, as well as the Panhellenic Association, Interfraternity Councils and National Pan-Hellenic Council are already addressing this well-known fact.
The article simply perpetuates separations between people who don't even consider themselves separated.

PERSPECTIVE
Most people end up living in segregated housing
A recent Kansan article insinuated that racial exclusion is rampant within the greek system. As an African-American, a KU student, a member of Sigma Chi fraternity and the Interfraternity Council Vice President for education and scholarship, I disagree with this attack on the integrity of the greek system.
Fraternities and sororites have been pigeonholed as racially exclusive organizations, when simple analysis will prove the unfairness of singling out the Greek system.
When most fraternity chapters compile a recruitment list, their members submit names of friends who would be interested in joining that particular house. Not surprisingly, most people contacted are White. Multiple causes result in the lack of minorities at recruitment parties. However, in residence halls or apartments, the same lack of integration exists when individuals pick their roommates.
More importantly the other method of rushing a fraternity or sorority is signing up to be on the recruitment list. Most people either try to rush with a friend from high school or to join a house based on past family membership. Only rarely do people rush by themselves. Friendships made before college largely determine who a person lives with and where that person lives. Therefore, exclusion is clearly not just a "greek" issue, but a campus issue.
A list of people who actually choose their roommates in off-campus settings would likely show that the percentage of minorities living in a house or apartment with other Caucasians is similar to the percentage of minorities living in the greek system.
A. F. M. A. K.
A major cause of the lack of minorities and Whites voluntarily living together stems from the failure of desegregation policies in many public school systems. Economic and demographic factors increase the amount of segregation in public schools by the way school districts draw boundary lines. This resulted in schools with many minorities and schools with large percentages of Whites The separation of races in school districts obviously fails to foster a healthy environment for interracial camaraderie.
Commentary

The lack of contact, friendships and understanding between different races in public school systems compounds the difficulty for networking and recruiting in the greek system and more importantly, diversity and understanding across the entire campus.
The fact that multiple causes exist for the lack of minorities in the Greek system does not provide a scapegoat for fraternities and sororites, however. Diversity is an important issue, and all chapters need to tackle this problem in a more serious manner.
As vice president of educational programming for IFC, I am partly responsible for overseeing this committee, and many ideas will be implemented to decrease uniformity within the greek system. One of the most prominent civil rights leaders of our time, Martin Luther King Jr. once noted, "I have a dream that one day the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhoods."
As an African-American student, I feel that I have joined a table of brotherhood in my chapter, the Sigma Chi fraternity. Every house will continue to extend an invitation for all to become part of their respective table — no matter what cultural, socioeconomic or ethnic background one comes from.
This year the greek system has already taken strides to increase diversity. Each chapter will appoint a Greeks Raising Awareness of Ethnic Diversity representative to ensure that diversity is increased within his house.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
EDITOR'S NOTE
The Kansan has received many responses to the Sex on the Hill section and to the article "A Sense of Brotherhood." Due to space constraints they can not all be published. This page offers a representative sampling of responses we have received.
GREEK UNITY & DIVERSITY
The article gave the impression that any minority student who feels comfortable with White people, or could afford it, or has good grades would join an 1FC or Panhellenic group. What the article failed to take into account is that each chapter has aspects that appeal to prospective members for different reasons. Students have options and make their decisions based on what they want to get out of the greek community.
Deareditor.
As leaders in the greek community, we appreciate the Kansan's investigation into an issue that we've gone to great lengths to address ("A Sense of Brotherhood," Dec. 10). That said, the problems facing the greek community were misrepresented.
The Greek community has diverse chapters with a variety of goals and interests. Just as members in each chapter work together for a common purpose, each chapter takes pride in upholding the ideals and traditions that define greek life.
ideas to strengthen the community.
In the future, we hope that the Kansan will recognize NPHC, Panhellenic, and IFC as one greek community, and count its members as such. Instead of continued criticism, we hope that out of all of this will come some constructive

SODON'T READ IT
I could start talking about freedom of speech, but that's been done to death too. Instead, I'll point out something which a lot of the Sex on the Hill detractors seem to have forgotten: Freedom of speech does not guarantee one an audience. In other words, you are not obligated to read everything that is printed.
Dear editor.
I'm getting tired of this. Every year, the Kansan prints the Sex on the Hill section and every year, people complain about the Kansan's lack of morals.
You knew what the Sex on the Hill section was when you picked it up, and you knew that it would probably bother you. But — and this is the part I don't understand — you chose to read it anyway. Why? Even if you have never seen the Sex on the Hill section before, the picture of a mostly naked person should have been a clue that there was objectionable material inside.
Right or wrong, college students have sex. Until that changes, I don't see any reason
for the Kansan not to talk about it. If you don't want to listen, that's fine. Please don't plug everyone else's ears. Trust the student body to be mature enough to make their own moral decisions.
Dear editor
Mary Metzler.

CLARIFYING A QUOTE
J. R. Mendoza interviewed me for the article "A Sense of Brotherhood." Although I felt honored to be involved in an effort to address greek diversity issues, I am very disappointed in the way my attitude toward Black fraternities was portrayed.
The story read "Penn said he considered joining a Black fraternity but the lack of focus on academies caused him to look elsewhere." Anyone reading this could falsely assume I thought Black fraternities did not focus on academics. I highly regard Black fraternities and think academic focus is among their many strengths, which is why I considered joining one. However, Beta Theta Pi fraternity has the highest chapter GPA on campus, which influenced my decision to join.
It is important to address controversial topics, but one must take precaution to portrait views accurately. I resent that I've had to take time to write this letter and respond to all the angry voicemails and e-mails I recently received.

Cancer: Coping with chemo

"I thought he was looking fragile," Diane Boos said. "I would ask the typical mom questions, like 'are you eating well,' and 'are you losing weight?' He even weighed himself to show me that he'd only lost about two pounds."

"You have these fears," she said. So she scheduled him an appointment with their family physician in Lindsborg.
He receives the treatments every other Friday and they will last for seven more months.
Although Boo's parents had been informed of Boo's illness from the start, Diane Boo said it was still hard to deal with.
"He refers to it as getting Drano." Diane Boossaid. "It's hard to watch how hard it is on his body."
Diane Boos said she made the three hours drive from Ellis each time Boos had chemo.
"It's hard to tell people your son has cancer," Diane Boos said. "I always think to myself why Lee. Why couldn't it be me. I'm 54 and have lived my life. He has his whole life in front of him."
But it is his roommate, Robert Sandlin, who takes him to each three-hour session.
She was right.
He is undergoing chemotherapy treatments to rid his body of the cancer cells and to reduce the tumor in his chest.
"He's more like a brother to me than a roommate," Sandlin said. "I do everything I can. It may not be much, but it's what I can do."
That doctor ordered a chest Xray and noticed large lymph nodes in Boos' chest. He recommended Boos see a specialist in Salina. Boos went and had a biopsy done on the swollen lymph node.

Doctors determined that Boos had Hodgkin's on Oct 31.

Flags in windows denied
By Jeremy Clarkson Kansan staff writer
tiring of spending time with his younger cousins and giving "warm hugs and lots of love."
Vanessa McGrath and Alison Hult taped two American flags to the front window of their third floor apartment. They were showing their support for their country after the Sept. 11 events, but they were asked to take the flags down.
Last week, McGrath, Shawnee junior; Hult, Omaha, Neb., junior; and other residents of Jefferson Commons, 2511 W. 31st St., were told they could not keep their flags up.
The residents received a typed letter from the management of the complex. The letter briefly explained that according to their agreements in the lease, they were not allowed to mount anything on the windows. The letter specified that it would "take away from the uniformity of the complex."
"Fifty-five hundred people died and that is the only thing we can do; we aren't in New York," she said.
JPI Inc. of Irving, Texas, — the company that owns Jefferson Commons—did not return calls yesterday afternoon.
McGrath said she was upset and felt the letter was totally unnecessary.
The Rev. Dennis J.J. Schmidt said Bennett would chuckle at those who attended the service frantically trying to find a parking space. For his Eagle Scout service project, Bennett coordinated the church's parking and continued to do so even after he completed the endeavor.
The letter suggested alternative options for the residents, such as mounting the flags on the patio area. Hult said that being asked not to put a flag on a window, but being permitted to hang a flag over a balcony, did not make sense.
"You would think that is less uniform." she said.
In response to the notice, McGrath said more decorations had appeared on windows. She said she had yet to remove the flags from her window.
Although the letter indicated they were not allowed to mount anything from their window, both residents said considering the Sept. 11 events, the request seemed unreasonable.
"We pay rent to live here and if we want to hang a flag up, I don't think it's asking too much," Hult said.

Bennett, Chapman and Shipley were last seen Dec. 4, when they set sail on the lake. Bennett's body was found two days later.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Between 500 and 600 people gathered Monday afternoon for the funeral of Timothy Bennett, a Kansas State University student who died last week when a sailboat apparently capsized in Tuttle Creek Lake near Manhattan.
The funeral for Bennett, 19, of Kansas City, was at Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral.
His two companions, Kyle Chapman and Christopher Shipley, both 18 and from Olathe, are still missing and search efforts continued in the lake Monday.

What's News- In Business and Finance
H-P Bid for Compaq Suffers Big Setback
Hewlett-Packard Co.'s largest shareholder, the family foundation of co-founder David Packard, decided to oppose the company's purchase of Compaq Computer Corp., dealing a possibly fatal blow to what would be the largest acquisition ever in the technology industry.
H-P and Compaq vow to press ahead with the $25.9 billion deal. But opposition from the heirs of the company's founders could sway many other H-P shareholders to vote against the deal.
Walter Hewlett, an H-P director and son of founder William Hewlett who first came out against the deal last month, plans to solicit proxies against the deal. All told, the Hewlett and Packard families hold about 18% of H-P's shares.
Manufacturing Shows Signs of Recovery
For the first time in more than a year, there are incipient signs of a recovery in manufacturing, the sector of the economy where recession hit first and hardest.
The National Purchasing Managers Index, based on a survey of purchasing executives who buy raw materials for manufacturing, jumped to 44.5 last month from 39.8 in October. A turnaround in manufacturing, where the slowdown began, could be the key to the entire economy's recovery.
To be sure, unemployment jumped to 5.7% last month—its highest level in more than six years—from 5.4% in October. But economists say the Federal Reserve's latest rate cut—a quarter percentage point on Tuesday, smaller than the previous three cuts—reflects growing optimism that the recession may be bottoming out.
FTC Probes Group Selling Student Data
A college-admissions group that helps school recruiters find promising students has fallen under government scrutiny for supplying the names and other personal information of high-schoolers to commercial marketers as well—often unbeknownst to the students.
The National Research Center for College and University Admissions surveys over a million U.S. high-school students each year about everything from their career interests to their religion, race and social views. The Federal Trade Commission is investigating whether the Missouri-based group's vague disclosures about how its survey data are used constitute prohibited "unfair or deceptive acts," according to people familiar with the matter.
THE WEEK OF DECEMBER 10.2001
In a statement on National Research's Web site, the group's president, Don M. Munce, said he is forming an advisory committee of leading educators to review its privacy procedures and improve its disclosure statement.
States Offer Changes In Microsoft Pact
The nine states that refused to sign on to Microsoft Corp.'s antitrust settlement with the Justice Department proposed sweeping new restrictions on the company's conduct to the U.S. district court in Washington handling the case.
Among other things, the proposals would require that in addition to its full-featured Windows operating system, Microsoft also must offer a lower-cost Windows that doesn't include add-on technologies such as instant-messaging and music and video software. This would allow computer makers to more freely choose among these rival "middleware" technologies. Microsoft's response is due this week.

Holiday Markdowns Leave Shoppers Jaded
retail sales haven't accelerated beyond the modest pace of Thanksgiving weekend. At best, retailers and industry analysts are looking for gains in holiday receipts of 1% to 2.5%.
Shopping under the shadow of layoffs and terrorism, many consumers say they just aren't tempted this year by deeply discounted merchandise.
Shoppers' ho-hum reaction to deep discounts is a behavior retailers themselves have created. Some shoppers say the blizzard of price cuts this year has cheapened many stores' images. Others say they have qualms about giving marked-down merchandise as a gift: What if the recipient returns it?
Heisman's Owner Has New Game Plan
The Heisman Trophy, awarded each year to college football's outstanding player, wants to go pro, as it were, in the world of sports sponsorship. New York's Downtown Athletic Club, the award's owner, has hired a marketing firm in hopes of quintupleting its annual Heisman revenue to $10 million. Plans range from selling the trophy's corporate naming rights to an interactive "Heisman Experience" that would tour colleges.
But James Corcoran, the club's volunteer president, says it won't overcommercialize the award. "It would never be the AT&T Heisman," he says. "It would be the Heisman Trophy presented by AT&T."
Majors in psychology, philosophy, history and other "soft" sciences are in demand by companies who value their multi-faceted backgrounds and talents.

Ms. Rabb, 33 years old, used to buy clothes regularly at the Gap to wear to work at her job as an account supervisor at a Chicago ad agency. But then, in March 2000, Gap began running a "West Side Story" TV ad campaign featuring fire-engine-red denim capri pants, one of its biggest fashion bets of the season. Ms. Rabb had a strong reaction to those pants—"silly."
Now, all it takes is a brief visit to a Chicago-area Gap store for Ms. Rabb to remember what drove her away. Inside the store, she encounters a black T-shirt imprinted with a gold snake. The snake's eye is a pink sequin. The disgusted look on Ms. Rabb's face says it all. Her advice to Gap: Grow up.
Overnight Exodus
Every retailer, of course, has its defectors. But perhaps never before in retail history have so many shopers stopped patronizing a retail chain so precipitously. The exodus of shopers from, say, Montgomery Ward & Co., occurred in slow motion over many years, concurrent with the rise of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and
other discounters. In contrast, Gap's years-long reign as retailing's apparel star ended almost overnight.
During the 1990s, Gap grew to become the nation's largest specialty apparel retailer. Its sales rose to $11.64 billion in fiscal 1999 from $1.93 billion in fiscal 1990. It accomplished this feat largely by applying to apparel the same strategy Ernest Hemingway applied to writing—keep it simple. The popularity of Gap stores was proof that simple clothes can look good, even elegant. Gap was the retail engine powering the shift to casual attire in the workplace: Wearing a T-shirt to the office seemed irrelevant, until Gap showed how crisp and sharp a T-shirt could look.
Gap reported a 25% decline in same-store sales results for November, its most dismal showing this year; analysts were bracing for a decline of anywhere from 13% to 27%. Same-store sales during each of the previous three months declined 17%. Gap said that the November results "significantly" missed its expectations, and that the negative trends could extend through the quarter. Earlier, the company reported net income plummeted 96% for the first nine months of fiscal 2001, ended Nov. 3, compared with a year ago, citing a tax-related charge and weak sales at its three apparel chains, Gap, Banana Republic and Old Navy.
Gap Chief Executive Millard "Mickey" Drexler, revered until recently in the retail world for masterminding Gap's success, has had many explanations over the past 19 months for the sharp decline. At various times he has blamed the chain's problems on bringing in new merchandise too quickly, and also on bringing it in too slowly; on staying with outdated styles too long and also on filling the stores with too
But Gap's success spawned lower-priced imitators. To keep growing, Gap decided it would expand beyond apparel basics into more far-fetched fashions, such as a denim trenchcoat with faux-fur collar and a "bleach graphic T", which looks like something that fell into the
many trendy looks.
wrong load of laundry. That's when the alienation of many customers began.
Meanwhile, former customers offer up their own explanations: The styles are adolescent. Quality has declined. Within the fashion category that Gap made famous—buttoned down shirts, khaki pants and other basics—the variety of colors and other styling details has diminished.
Gap spokesman Alan Marks says the Spring 2022 season will address the problem of too-trendy fashion. Still, lingering problems at the Gap and Old Navy have gone unfixed despite previous assurances. Quality, he says, remains as high as ever. "We've not reduced the quality we put into our merchandise," he says.
Into 'Navy' Now
Complaints about quality may be especially hard to counter. A pillar of Gap's success was its ability to bring a high level of quality to casual clothes. But in 1994, Gap launched its bargain chain, Old Navy, which featured lower-priced, less-durable clothes with all the classic styling of Gap.
At first, Old Navy's sales soared. But as competitors began offering similar clothing at even lower prices, Old Navy shoppers defected to stores such as discounter Target Corp., also admiried for durability and styling. Meanwhile, many once-loyal customers of the Gap were trading down to Old Navy—or up to Banana Republic.
But many former customers don't like it. When Heather Ceron, a 25-year old public relations executive in Los Angeles, visited a Gap store last year in search of capri pants, she wasn't pleased with what she found. "You can't take pink and baby-blue to work," she says.
Gap's ads continue to work at enhancing the brand image, typically featuring either celebrities or hip-looking young people dancing and singing. Rarely do they highlight specific styles.
Another Gap hallmark was to offer relatively few items, but in a wide choice of colors. But as the number of trendy styles grew, Gap trimmed the color selection of its basics. Mr. Marks says it was a smart decision to go in this direction.
'Hip'Cigarette Wins Suitors And Critics
F
By GORDON FAIRCLOUGH
For some smokers, Natural American Spirit is something of an oxymoron—a politically correct cigarette.
Made by tiny Santa Fe
Made by tiny Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Co., the cigarette has built a loyal following among hip, younger smokers drawn by its boast of being additive-free and, in some cases, made from organically grown tobacco. Packs, emblazoned with the profile of a Native American wearing a headdress and smoking a pipe, began appearing in organic markets and metaphysical bookstores in the late 1980s and have since caught on beyond the granola set. Sales have nearly tripled since 1997 and are expected to reach at least $120 million this year.
That's why R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Holdings Inc. on Tuesday agreed to acquire Santa Fe for $340 million in cash. Santa Fe accepted Reynolds's bid over an offer from Rothman's Inc. of $353.7 million in cash and mixed securities.
Reynolds, maker of such brands as Winston, Salem, Doral and Camel, figures that with its extensive, nationwide distribution network, it can lend a lot of marketing firepower to American Spirit, which has about 6.2% of the U.S. market. The brand earned $20.6 million last year, and profits are expected to grow about 30% this year. The cigarettes are the brainchild of Santa Fe's 57-year-old chief executive, Robin Sommers, who says he set out to build a brand around the "traditional American Indian usage of tobacco in its natural state."
Public-health experts, however, say additives aren't at the root of the major health problems caused by smoking. Rather, byproducts from the burning of tobacco are. American Spirit cigarettes have higher levels of tar than comparable big brands, says Gregory Connolly, director of the Massachusetts health department's tobacco-control program. American Spirits also contain roughly twice as much nicotine, the addictive chemical in cigarettes, as comparable top-selling smokes. Dr. Connolly says.
Mr. Sommers says his cigarettes have higher tar and nicotine levels because they contain only leaf tobacco and not the fillers often used by bigger manufacturers. He says all packs of American Spirit carry the message: "We make no representation, either expressed or implied, that these cigarettes are any less hazardous than any other cigarettes."

Commissions offer students voice in city
Conrad said her role was to present the opinion of the KU community to board members as they made their decisions. She said the commission met about four times a year, for an hour each time.
By Courtney Craigmile Kansan staff writer
KU students are a part of the Lawrence community, and the city encourages them to get involved by joining various boards and commissions, Assistant City Manager Dave Corliss said.
Corliss said the city had a number of boards and commissions that included students, both as voting and nonvoting members. These boards include the Planning Commission, Sign Board and Zoning Board of Appeals.

Amanda Conrad, Summersville, W. Va., graduate student, serves on the Lawrence Human Relations Commission. She said the commission dealt with civil rights and affirmative action cases in Lawrence.
"I believe there is tremendous benefit to having KU students, or any other students, serve on city boards," Corliss said. "Students bring insights, innovations and opinions that may not be shared or available to other citizens."
Conrad said although she couldn't vote, she still could present the University's side to the commission.
"To get the full experience of living in Lawrence, you need to get involved," she said. "One of the biggest ways to get involved is to be on various boards and commissions."
For a list of openings in city government, visit the city's Web site: www.lawrenceeks.org.
She said the Student Legislative Awareness Board—a board of Student Senate—was always looking for ways students could get involved with city government, and it often sent out notices of openings students could fill

If a student is interested in applying to serve on a commission or board, Corliss said, the student should write a letter of interest to Mayor Mike Rundle. Mayor Rundle then conducts interviews and nominates people to the boards. The City Commission has the ultimate vote to approve someone to a board.
Julia Gilmore Gaughan, community affairs director for Student Senate, said she tried to get KU students involved in city government.

Jenni Glass wishes that colder weather didn't mean more smoke to walk through as she entered campus buildings for classes.
"More smokers in the winter huddle by the door," said Glass, Canton, Ill., junior.
Glass said she liked the University of Kansas' smoke-free entrance policy but wished it was enforced better.
"The policy will be voted on in the environmental health and safety committee at the end of this week," Galitzer said.
Both Faucher and Johnson said the number of complaints was consistent no matter what the season. If more smokers smoke within 20 feet of the entrances during colder months, their offices don't hear about it.
KU has had a smoke-free entrance policy since the fall semester of 1999 that requires each building to have one designated entrance where smoking is not permitted within 20 feet of the door, said Jeannette Johnson, assistant to the provost.
Often, that means contacting a school's dean or a chairperson to let them know of the complaint. Human resources then works with the department head to enforce the policy.
Their proposed policy would prohibit smoking within 30 feet of certain entrances. Each building will have a smoke-free main entrance, and smoke-free entrances will also include those with a fresh-air intake vent nearby or those that provide access to handicapped people.
Policy enforcement is based on student complaints, said Ola Faucher, director of human resources. The student handbook says anyone with smoke-free entrance complaints should call the
Kansas State University may have a similar policy soon, said Steve Galitzer, associate director for public safety at the university.
provost's office, and the provost's office often refers the complaints to the human resources office, Johnson said. However, neither Johnson nor Faucher said they received many complaints.
"We get a few complaints," Faucher said. When she does get one, she works with a department head to fix the problem.
Faucher said if students noticed smoking within the no-smoking areas, they should call her office.
He said the policy would be enforced the same way as the University of Kansas.
"To become the smoking police is too much to handle." he said.

Bohl right on after semester at University
With semester No. 1 of The Al Bohl Show winding down, let's take a moment to reflect on how the new boss and his teams are stacking up.
Bohl has taken his time evaluating the department and establishing a solid foundation for the future of Kansas athletics.
Let's examine that foundation and the blueprints for the future as The Al Bohl Show continues into semester No. 2 and beyond. There'll be no grades, just honest evaluations of where the teams stand and where they are headed.
Football: The Jayhawks failed in nearly every way possible during the season. Benching the classier quarterback, having no fullback on most running plays and a run-first-pass-second-minded-quarterback in a designated passing offense that denied a talented defense the opportunity to shine for a complete game.
But hope remains. New head coach Mark Mangino brings the recruiting and attitude adjustment that the program needs. Mangino is intelligently taking his time to get the right staff so he can ensure Kansas football has a bright future.
Soccer. The team skyrocketed to a fourth-place Big 12 conference finish and barely missed a Top 12 ranking. It boasted its best record in school history and a first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance. Eight starters will return next year and seniors Natalie Hoogveld, Hilla Rantala and Melanie Schroeder leave a legacy of perseverance and progress as their team continues to grow and improve.
Volleyball: Perhaps the greatest number of growing pains hit this team, but it still garnered a third-straight winning season. The Jayhawks, 16-15, overcame a mid-season slump and closed by taking a game from No. 15 Texas A&M, and upsetting Texas in the biggest win in coach Ray Bechard's four years at Kansas.
Sophomore outside hitter Sarah Rome is on pace to become Kansas' career kills leader after leading the team with 398 this year. Returners Molly Scavuzzo, Kylie Thomas, Abbie Jacobson, Dani McHenry and Ashley Michaels give Bechard the deepest and strongest group of hitters ever at Kansas. The foundation is set, but he must find a way to replace senior setter Molly LaMere who posted the three best season-assist totals in Jayhawk history.
Cross Country. Coach Stan Redwine's second year of resurrecting Kansas running had an injury-plagued men's squad that graduates five of its top runners. The women lose just two seniors and saw promise and progress from young runners, including freshman Diane Disher and sophomore Paige Higgins.
Al Bohl: Bohl's cameo appearances at volleyball and soccer games allowed him to keep a watchful eye on their progress. His gutsy move of firing Terry Allen mid-season raised some eyebrows but paid off with a patient, but thorough, coaching search that landed Mangino. Plus, his hefty pizza purchase for basketball campers prior to the win against Wake Forest made Bohl No. 1 in campers' hearts.
There's plenty of room to grow, but fall sports at Kansas have strong foundations to build on. The Al Bohl Show will ensure a bright future for many seasons to come.

Search starts with old friend
Offensive coordinator at Mississippi ponders possiblity of working with Mangino
By Jeff Denton Kansan sportswriter
John Latina, offensive coordinator at Mississippi and childhood friend of Kansas football coach Mark Mangino, said yesterday that he and Mangino had been talking daily about the possibility of coaching together at Kansas.
The two have discussed the idea of Latina becoming the offensive coordinator on Mangino's staff.
Mangino, who is on the road recruiting players and coaches, could not be reached for comment. But he stressed last week how crucial the

hard to recruit the players and coaches to make KU an excellent football program. But he knows my family situation, and every decision I have ever made has been based on them."
Latina, 44, has two sons who are in high school. His oldest son will be a senior next year and is a friend of Mangino's 17-year-old son, Tommy. Latina also said his bond with Mangino had helped form a good relationship between their two families.
Latina has led the Ole Miss offense for three seasons. This year, the Rebels posted the No. 23 passing offense in Division I. His offense, which featured Eli Manning, the younger brother of Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, generated 31 touchdowns through the air. Ole Miss quarterbacks threw just nine interceptions. Its
offense averaged more than 35 points per game.
Kansas' highest scoring output came in October when the Jayhawks scored 34 points against Texas Tech in its lone Big 12 Conference victory.
Latina said he was "pretty sure" he would remain with the Rebels, but that it was his dream to one day be reunited with his friend on the same coaching staff.
"At this particular time, I am happy here," Latina said. "I think he'll do a great job recruiting coaches. But with the respect and friendship I share with Mark, I'd love to coach with him again."

Jayhawks ready themselves for up-and-coming Tigers look for win on the road
By Ryan Malashock Kansan sportswriter
Kansas and Princeton meet at 7 tonight at Jadwin Gym in Princeton, N.J., setting up a battle of two teams with completely contrasting styles.
No. 4 Kansas (6-1) has played at a faster pace than in years past and is averaging 91.1 points per game. On the contrary, Princeton has made a name for itself by slowing games down and playing tough defense. The Tigers normally run the 35-second shot clock down into the single digits before taking a shot.
Kansas coach Roy Williams said every possession wouldbe of greater importance tonight if the game was played at a slower pace.
Freshman forward Wayne Simien said he was familiar with Princeton's style of play in which the Tigers constantly screened their opponents. Simien said the Tigers impressed him because they were fundamentally sound. Coach John Thompson's team is 2-5, but has played challenging

Tigers' tough play at home will challenge Kansas tonight in New Jersey

Men's college basketball teams don't like to play Princeton at home.
for knocking off big teams.
Maybe it's the Tigers' painstakingly slow offense.
"People just don't want to go to Princeton, play at Princeton," Kansas coach Roy Williams said. "I think you always have concern when you're going on the road, period, and when you're going on the road against a good team."
Princeton's 2-5 record may be deceptive, because the Tigers' schedule hasn't been easy. Kansas will be Princeton's third Top 10 opponent in its first eight games.
there's always the possibility of being embarrassed.
"I don't care what their record says, they've played a schedule that's not been very easy," Williams said. "Princeton has a way of embarrassing you. Everyone says 'you can't beat those guys, they're an Ivy League school.' I think it's just a fear of embarrassment. Same reason why no one wants to play Princeton in the first round of the NCAA tournament."

HOROSCOPES
LA SALA DE LA JUSTICIA
Today's Birthday (Dec. 12).
Pluto, the planet symbolizing transformation, is in your sign. This could explain why you're looking at so many things differently this year. Money and investments, for example. What's important and what's not. What's the truth and what's a lie. What's right and what's wrong. This is good for you, and for all of us.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7. You're doing OK, but a friend of yours could get into a world of hurt. He's the one clashing with authority for a change. Be understanding, but let him fight his own battles.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7. You can share your partner's frustration without getting too deeply involved. Somebody has to maintain objectivity, and it might as well be you. You have the best chance of success.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6. Do the planning now, and take care of whatever grunt work is left to be done. Everything is lined up for a major assault tomorrow. Focus on supporting a strong partner.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7. Your sweetheart (or a close loved one) has recently suffered a setback. You've often asked this person for advice or comfort when you were down. Now, it's the other way around. Be there.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 6.
Here's the final score: The good guys win.
Liberty, justice and truth will prevail. If that's the side you're on, have faith. If it's not, you'd better reassess your position.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22). Today is a 6.
There are so many things vying for your attention that it's hard to concentrate. The first thing you need to do is reschedule the stuff that doesn't need to be done right away. Delegate all the stuff you didn't want to do. Then, turn off your phone.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22). Today is a 6. Work could interfere with your social life. You may have to postpone a date until another time. Perhaps later tonight will be OK. Put practical matters first, and be flexible.
C
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 5.
An idea, gadget or new recipe could fail
flat. Don't invite people over to try it until
you're sure it's as good as it looks in the picture.
In other words, take nothing for granted.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 6. You can avoid a major expense by going over your notes one more time. Odds are good that something you're thinking of buying isn't a good deal or isn't necessary. Think about it.
CROC
Lion
P
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 7.
Don't loan money to a stranger. Make it a gift instead, and ask for a gift in return.
That's only fair. If justice is your goal, you'll prosper. If something else is your goal, you'll lose.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 7.
Your love is still strong, but getting the message across could become difficult. It's hard to move thoughts, people or things between here and there. Be patient. You'll know when the time is right.
JUSTICE
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 6.
You may have the greatest idea in the universe, but if you present it at the wrong time, it'll go nowhere. First, listen to what the top brass has in mind. If there's something about that plan you don't like, bring it up in private.

Denver linebacker says ex-Bronco could be recipient of cheap shots
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Despite what Denver linebacker John Mobley says, Kansas City Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil insists he is not worried about any "cheap shots" being thrown at Eddie Kennison this week.
"I think (Denver coach) Mike Shanahan runs too classy an organization to get into that stuff," Vermeil said yesterday. "I'd never believe that's a reflection of Mike Shanahan."
Kennison, who signed with the Chiefs two weeks ago, apparently left some bitterness behind in Denver. The veteran wide receiver retired from the NFL just 16 hours before a Broncos game on Nov. 11.
Then he rescinded his announcement but got cut by the Broncos, who play the Chiefs in Kansas City this Sunday. Denver beat the Chiefs 20-6 on Oct. 7 in Denver.
Mobley told reporters in Denver Monday "it'll be interesting" if Kennison plays against his old team
"I don't think he'll suit up against us, because I know him," Mobley said. "He'll find an excuse now or later in the week."
Kennison, who played for Vermil for two years in St. Louis, left the Broncos amid a turbulent time
for his family, including his father's illness. In his first game with the Chiefs last week, he played only briefly.
"Knowing the way our defense felt about that situation, I think there could be a lot of cheap shots if he gets out on that field." Mobley said.
Vermeil said Kennison could see limited action regardless of what Mobley says. He was added to the roster to help shore up what has been an undeendable wide receiver corps.
"Eddie Kennison is the least of my concerns in regard to Sunday and how we play." Vermeil said. "Maybe some time you ought to sit down and talk to Eddie about the whole thing. I don't know how you'd react if your father had a heart attack. I'm confident we've been helping him become the player he can be."
The Chiefs are Kennison's fifth team in six seasons in the NFL.
"I'm not saying Eddie hasn't had some problems." Vermeil said.
"But they've had some other guys on that roster who've had some problems. Some guys suspended from the league and all that kind of stuff. Now, what does that make them? I think they'd show more class in evaluating their own people. I really do."
Hall of Famers criticize BCS
The Associated Press
"I always wanted to play for the mythical championship. I liked the old system," former Oklahoma coach Barry Switzer said. "I don't know if the BCS is good. The mythical national championship was fine with me."
NEW YORK — Two of the coaches inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame yesterday criticized the BCS system , which will crown a national champion after Miami and Nebraska meet in the Rose Bowl.
Switzer's .857 winning percentage is fourth best in NCAA Division I history. He also won three of those multihybrid championships, in 1974, 1975 and 1985.
Switzer was among 16 coaches and players honored yesterday. The other coaches were Bill Yeoman and Grant Teaff, executive director of the American Football Coaches Association.
Yeoman coached at Houston from 1962-86, posting a record of 160-108-8 and, like Switzer, preferred college football's former championship system.
"I think we've got to redefine the purpose of college football," he said. "If it's for nothing but money,
then why go to school? If we do it for the way it all started, then the bowls system was fine. I thought it was great if there was controversy at the end and three or four sets of alumni were running around, claiming they were No. 1. It keeps them interested."
Teaff, who coached from 1960-92 at McMurry, Angelo State and Baylor, heads the coaches association, whose poll is used as part of the BCS formula. The coaches are also committed to voting the Rose Bowl game winner No. 1, and Teaff said the system did what it was supposed to do.
"What's it's done is created a lot of interest in the game," Teaff said. "I can't remember a time in history when five, six, maybe seven schools had a chance to play for the national championship. It's almost like a playoff if you think about it. Every game was so extremely important.
Yeoman said he opposed a playoff for the national title.
"Look at the Final Four teams in the NCAA basketball tournament and see how much school they missed," he said. "I liked the system the way it was. I thought it was good for football."
Little League toughens standards
The Associated Press
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - Call it the Danny Almonte Rule.
Burned by last summer's scandal at the Little League World Series, officials are asking local teams for more proof of players' age and residence before they're allowed to participate in the international tournament.
Stephen D. Keener, president and chief executive officer of Little League Baseball Inc., announced yesterday changes in the way Little League will verify player eligibility.
Players will have to provide a government-issued birth certificate that was issued no more than 30 days after birth. If a player can't provide such documentation, then additional proof of age, such as hospital records, will be required.
Each team in the international tournament will have to show proof of player eligibility when the tournament begins and again at the regional level, the last step before the World Series.
volunteers in our program," Keener said.
"I must underscore that these new standards and procedures will still rely on the integrity and the honesty of the more than 1.25 million adult
The changes were prompted by the rise and fall of the Rolando Paulino Little League team from the Bronx, N.Y. —nicknamed the "Baby Bombers" after Almonte then a no-hitter on national television to lead the team to the Little League World Series.
Almonte then became the darling of major leaguers after throwing the first no-hitter in 44 years in his team's Series game against the Apopka, Fla., team that would finish second at the tournament.
"We believe that the Bronx case is an isolated incident ... that the overwhelming majority of the volunteers in the Little League program are people of the highest integrity and honesty." Keener said.
During the Bronx team's run, Almonte, manager Alberto Gonzalez and league founder Rolando Paulino repeatedly denied that Almonte was too old to play in the tournament, which only allows players who are 12 or younger. Whenever questioned, they produced documents that showed Almonte as being 12.
A Sports Illustrated reporter in the Dominican Republic found another birth certificate showing that Almonte was 14 years old — a document the Dominican government later verified.
NFL Football players becoming more involved in politics
WASHINGTON — Players from the Washington Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles have formed political action committees to raise money for the Senate campaign of former NFL offensive lineman Ed Cunningham.
They hope the PACs generate interest in politics among teammates and lead to other team PACs. They see the PACs as a way for players to make contacts they can tap when their playing days are finished.
"As players we want to have a voice," said Redskins defensive end Dorian Boose, an organizer of his team's PAC and a client of Cunningham, who is now an agent. "We live here, too. We may be in a position where we make a lot of money, but our world is important to us and we want to be a part of that."
Offensive lineman John Welbourn formed the Eagles' PAC, which includes 15 teammates. Welbourn also is a Cunningham client.
The players are learning what Hollywood already knows, said Larry Noble, director of the Center for Responsive Politics, a watchdog group.
"They are waking up to the idea that money buys access," Noble said. "Fame can get them in the door, but like everyone else, money works better than fame."
The Redskins' PAC, dubbed the Players Political Action Committee, held its first fund-raiser last week at The Rock, a Washington sports bar. Barroom conversations ranged from NFL happenings to Cunningham's platform.
"I'm not big on the political scene, to be honest with you," defensive end Otis Leverette said. "My past experience with the average politician has not been very good."
GAMBLING
Wealthy racetrack may start catering to the lesser half
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. — Rich people in seersucker suits and floral dresses still come here to watch the thoroughbreds, evoking the Gilded Age glamour that the Vanderbilts and the Whitneys brought to Saratoga Race Course more than a century ago.
But now there are worries that a far less genteel style of gambling is coming to this resort town: video poker and video slot machines.
A state law approved in October authorizes video gambling terminals at several New York tracks. It allows Saratoga County officials to decide if they want to bring the machines to Saratoga Spring's harness track, Saratoga Equine Sports Center.A vote could come in January.
Saratoga gained a reputation during the 19th century as a playground for the rich. It still attracts those of wealth and breeding, but the upper crust now represents a smaller segment of those playing the horses.
While shorts and jeans are common, many visitors still dress up in a manner evoking the track's moneyed past. Women wearing floral dresses and big straw hats sip champagne at the clubhouse, where jackets for men are required.
The concern is that video gambling will attract a different breed of gambler — people placing rapid-fire bets on a screen instead of taking part in the social scene at the track.
Marianne Barker, who owns a souvenir shop and a cafe, said "I think if you walk through the crowds at the Saratoga Race Course, you'll see people-watchers. They're not gambling. It's a social event."

Cleveland trades its All-Star
The Associated Press
BOSTON — The Mets and Indians completed a blockbuster deal yesterday, with Cleveland sending All-Star second baseman Roberto Alomar to New York in an eight-player trade.

Wheel Dr.
Cleveland acquired outfielder Matt Lawton, outfield prospect Alex Escobar, pitcher Jerrid Riggan and two players to be named in exchange for Alomar, pitcher Mike Bacsik and outfielder-first baseman Danny Peoples in the first big deal of the winter meetings.
"I have to admit that I thought this was a long shot." Phillips said. "Even as late as mid-afternoon yesterday I thought it was a long shot. I didn't know if we would be able to come up with the right configuration."
The New York Yankees moved closer to finalizing a seven-year deal with Giambi, the Oakland A's first baseman, that would be worth between $118 and $120 million, a baseball official and a lawyer familiar with the talks said on the condition of anonymity.
There was little news on the first two days of the meetings as two hurdles that have slowed baseball's offseason moves were getting closer to being resolved: the signing of Jason Giambi and contraction.
The deal between Mets general manager Steve Phillips and new Cleveland GM Mark Shapiro was completed between midnight and 12:30 a.m.
Owners and players also spent Monday trying to negotiate an agreement that would delay contraction until at least 2005. The sides were close to a deal, and resumed talks yesterday.
Many teams and agents appeared to be waiting for those issues to be resolved before making their moves.
Only two deals were announced in the opening two days at the meetings. The Toronto Blue Jays traded shortstop Alex Gonzalez to the Chicago Cubs for lefty Felix Heredia and a player to be named, and the St. Louis Cardinals announced their $27 million, four-year deal with closer Jason Isringhausen.
The Mets made their second major move in the past week. They dealt third baseman Robin Ventura to the Yankees last Friday for outfielder David Justice. It means New York most likely will move Edgardo Alfonzo from second base to third next season.
After winning the NL pennant in 2000, the Mets failed to make the playoffs this year, finishing with the fewest runs and lowest
batting average in the major leagues and the second fewest k
Indians
The 33-year-old Alomar, who played three seasons in Cleveland, is a 12-time All-Star who hit a team-high .336 this year with 20 homers, 100 RBIs and 30 steals.
The deal, which was first reported by Newsday on its Web site, will help create payroll flexibility for the Indians. Cleveland owner Larry Dolan told Shapiro to trim $15 million off last season's $91 million payroll.

The Giambi deal is getting closer to being completed. While the contract wasn't finalized, the Yankees began making arrangements for Giambi to take a physical. When a player takes a physical, it's usually a sign that a deal is imminent.
Hall of Fame-caliber talent, it's something you don't do lightly.
At $120 million, the contract would have an average annual value of $17.14 million. That would be the fifth-highest in baseball behind Texas shortstop Alex Rodriguez ($25.2 million), Boston outfielder Manny Ramirez ($20 million), Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter ($18.9 million) and Chicago Cubs outfielder Sammy Sosa ($18 million).
Giambi's agent, Arn Tellem, did not return a telephone message. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman has not commented on the Giambi talks. If there are no problems with the physical, the contract could be finalized later this week, the sources said.
New York also moved closer to resigning pitcher Sterling Hitchcock, and the Yankees talked with the agent for outfielder Rondell White.
Oakland did lose a player Monday, when Isringhausen finalized a $27 million, four-year contract with the Cardinals. The A's already had replaced him, acquiring Billy Koch from Toronto on Friday for a pair of minor leaguers.
The Cubs acquired Gonzalez to replace free agent Ricky Gutierrez, who was not offered salary arbitration by Chicago before last Friday's deadline.
"My main goal is to win, and I think they have the right group of guys here to win for a very long time," Isringhausen said of the Cardinals.
Isrishhausen was 4-3 with 34 saves in 43 chances and 2.65 ERA last season. He chose the Cardinals even though Texas offered more money, in part because he grew up in Brighton, Ill., a short drive from St. Louis.
"He will be an outstanding defensive player for us." Cubs general manager Andy MacPhail said. "He's quicker and runs better than Gutierrez, and he has good power for a shortstop."

Missouri guard improving
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. — It wasn't the shot Wesley Stokes was looking to take, and he hasn't looked at it since.
"I haven't watched it," said Stokes, Missouri's sophomore point guard, of his buzzer-beater against Saint Louis on Dec. 3. "I don't
watch it like that. If I watch it, I watch the whole game, not just that play."
Taking shots, even game winners that end up on highlight reels, isn't what coach Quin Snyder wants from Stokes, the point guard in

"I'm really happy with the way I've been playing so far," said Stokes. "I've led my team to victories and I'm having fun out there — and I'm playing defense."
That's where Stokes struggled at times last season, and in no game was it more noticeable than the Tigers' second-round loss in the NCAA tournament to eventual champion Duke. You can forgive Stokes for his play in the
It's a long way until March, but with Missouri 9-0 and ranked No. 2 to Duke's No. 1, there's potential for a rematch.
game; he was defending all-American Jason Williams, who scored 31 and had 9 assists.
"I'm happy with my defense, but I'm most happy with my jump shot." Stokes said.
This season, Stokes has started every game and is averaging 9.6 points to go with 5.6 assists. Both are a steady improvement over last season, when Stokes averaged 2 assists and 6.4 points while starting six games.
Stokes had gone just 1-for-6 before the final play against Saint Louis, but didn't have time to look for either Rush or Gilbert, the team's leading scorers.

jumper from in-between the Billikens.
The 4.8 seconds Stokes had to make the shot, which kept the Tigers out of overtime with a 69-67 win, is the same amount of time UCLA's Tyus Edney needed in 1995 to drive the length of the court and score at the buzzer to knock Missouri out of the NCAA tournament.

Wizards win third straight
The Associated Press
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Michael Jordan scored 16 points and had nine assists early, and Richard Hamilton scored a season-high 50 points as the Washington Wizards beat the Memphis Grizzlies 91-81 last night for their third straight victory.
In his previous two games, Jordan scored most of his points in the fourth quarter in helping the Wizards beat Houston and Dallas.
But the Wizards trailed only once in their first game ever in Memphis, when they were down 27-26 in the first. They led 58-41 at halftime, thanks to a 13-6 run, and expanded their lead to 21 in the third.
CVS
Jason Williams led the Grizzlies with 17 points and 11 assists.
Jordan showcased a few vintage moves for a sold-out crowd that gave him a standing ovation before tipoff. He had his tongue
hanging out while driving the baseline and drawing a foul in the first, and made a few fallaway jumpers.
He made four of his first six shots, before finishing 8-of-19. He was at his best with three assists in a two-minute span in the second. First, he found Christian Laettner for a 13-footer, then he passed to Brendan Haywood twice for dunks.
MUMPHIS
GRIZZLIES
Even when Jordan had a perfect opportunity to shoot over 5-foot-10 Brevin Knight
in the fourth, he passed the ball. He played just 51 minutes, making sure he didn't aggravate the tendinitis in his right knee that forced him to sit out a game last week.
Memphis gave Jordan a perfect chance to rest with Lorenzen Wright, Michael Dickerson and Stromile Swift all out with injuries. That opened up the middle for Haywood, who had 17
points and 15 rebounds.
Jordan guarded Shane Battier, the player he passed over for Kwame Brown in June while still the Wizards' president. Jordan called Battier not a bad choice for any team yesterday afternoon but said the Wizards couldn't pass up Brown's potential to be a "very special player."
Battier didn't get a basket off Jordan in the first half, but finished with 14 points.
Notes: Not getting to the free-throw line is turning into habit for Jordan. He went 152 games with a free throw until Nov. 27. He has now gone without a trip to the line in three games. ... The Grizzlies fielded approximately 175 credential requests for the game. ... The sellout was only the third back-to-back sellout in the Grizzlies' history and first since January 1996 while in Vancouver. ... An NFL contingent was in attendance with Memphis alumni Isaac Bruce of the St. Louis Rams and Eddie George. Samari Rolle and Jevon Kearse of the Tennessee Titans.
BOSTON — Troy Bell said he wasn't 100 percent yet after having knee surgery in the preseason. The rest of the Big East better look out.
The Associated Press
The junior guard, last season's co-player of the year in the conference, scored a career-high 42 points last night and No. 11 Boston College remained unbeaten with an 86-81 victory against Iowa State.
Bell, coming off his previous career-best of 34 in an 80-78 win against Massachusetts on Saturday, was 5-of-8 from 3-point range and 17-for-17 from the free throw line. He was 15-for-16 from the line against UMass.
"It's feeling better," Bell said. "I'm almost there. I've got a little ways to go. When I make a move sometimes I can feel it."
Eagles soar with junior guard
Bell, who scored his team's final nine points during the closing 2:09, finished with the most points ever in the 13-year history of Conte Forum.
"That's Troy Bell," backcourt
partner Ryan Sidney said.
"Nothing more you can say."
Sidney, playing his second straight game with his jaw wired shut after breaking it in practice last Thursday, had 16 points and Uka Agbai added 11 for the Eagles (8-0). It was Boston College's 24th consecutive home win.
Bell, who had surgery on his right knee on Oct. 31, was back in the lineup for the Eagles' season-opener on Nov. 18.
"The thingaboutit, before he got hurt he was playing like that," Boston College coach Al Skinner said. "He was controlling the game. Then he got hurt and I don't think he felt the urgency until Ryan went down."
Iowa State coach Larry Eustachy had some selfish advice after facing Bell for the first time.
"He should turn pro, so we don't have to play him next year. I encourage it." Eustachy said.
Tyray Pearson had 25 points
and eight rebounds for Iowa State (5-5), the fifth straight game he led the Cyclones in scoring, while Jake Sullivan added 19 points.
The Eagles, who led by seven points at halftime, used a 12-3 run early in the second half to make it 60-45. Bell had a 3-pointer and two free throws in the spurt.
Iowa State closed the gap to 66-61 before Bell had two baskets 30 seconds apart to help BC regain control.
The Cyclones made one last charge, closing to 77-74 on Marcus Jefferson's two free throws with 2:34 to play before Bell had a three-point play 25 seconds later.
Sidney set up the play by grabbing an offensive rebound and finding Bell underneath.
"He was just standing there all alone, so I threw him the ball," Sidnev said.
SO YOU THINK YOU'RE FUNNY?
Bell added four free throws during the final 49 seconds to seal it.

President Bush was second on the list, which was released in a special that aired Monday night.
Would you like to help decide how to spend that money?
To be considered for "Biography of the Year," a person must have had a significant impact on America and the lives of its people, Dolan said. The person must also be well-known, with an interesting life story.

All of A&E's top 10 personalities of the year were connected to the Sept. 11 terror attacks and their aftermath, but Osama bin Laden, accused of masterminding the attacks and provoking a war, did no better than fifth.
NEW YORK — The A&E television network said it was emphasizing the positive by naming Mayor Rudolph Giuliani its "Biography of the Year."
The Board of Regents is putting the burden of a tuition increase on the students. Student Senate would like to tell the administration what students want for their money. Please take a few minutes to fill out this survey:

It's the seventh year the network has made such a choice. Probably its most controversial was O.J. Simpson, in 1995, Dolan said. Last year, the distinction went to Francis Collins and Craig Venter, who were in charge of deciphering the human genome.
The others on A&E's list: the uniformed heroes of Sept. 11; the civilian heroes; Pakistan's president, Pervez Musharraf; U.S. national security adviser Condoleezza Rice; Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld; British Prime Minister Tony Blair; and Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of State Colin Powell, who made up one entry.
Dolan said fear of alienating viewers was not a factor in deciding against bin Laden. The Biography show's producers, who decide the winner, argued, but mostly about whether to name Giuliani or Bush, she said.
KUJH-TV News
"It's safe to assume that our choices will in some way be related to the tragedy of Sept. 11." Richman said. "Out of that there are a lot of possibilities, and Osama bin Laden is certainly one of them."

Princeton: Outside game vital
g
841-PLAY
1039 Massachusetts
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Senior guard Brett Ballard knows Kansas cannot approach tonight's game against Princeton lightly. Ballard said he could remember watching Princeton upset UCLA a few years ago in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
"They use what they have and do it effectively." Ballard said. "I can appreciate how hard they work on their set plays."
Princeton is coached by John Thompson, the son of former Georgetown coach John Thompson. The younger Thompson is a 1988 Princeton graduate and played basketball for Hall-of-Fame coach Pete Carril. Thompson is in his second season at Princeton and has a 18-16 record.
"John is a very good coach and is going to be a big-time coach." Williams said.
The Tigers are paced by two sophomore forwards. Konrad Wysockil leads the team in scoring, averaging 12 points per game. He averages 4.8 rebounds and also leads the team with 22 assists for the season. Andre Logan averages 4.8 rebounds as well and contributes 11.8 points per game.
Although Princeton's top scorers are big men, the team relies heavily on its outside game. Princeton has attempted 156 three-pointers this season compared to 153 two-pointers.

schedule. Two weeks ago, the Tigers led No. 3 Maryland early in the second half but lost 61-53.

"We're going to have to play real tough inside," Simien said. "They're a pretty big team, but I'm confident in our rebounding."

"Everybody knows that they are known for backdoor cuts," Simien said. "It's amazing, because watching them when I was growing up everybody knew they were going to do with the backdoor cuts. They execute so well that they still get them off. Of course we're going to try to stop that but we'll just have to see how it goes."
Rebounding could once again be the key to the game. All five of Princeton's starters stand 6-foot-4 or taller, providing a size disadvantage for Kansas starting guards senior Jeff Boschee, junior Kirk Hinrich and freshman Aaron Miles. Through the first seven games, Kansas has maintained a plus-eight rebounding advantage against its opponents. Junior Drew Gooden leads the Jayhawks in rebounding with 10.9 per game and junior Nick Collison and Simien are tied for second with eight per game. Those three big men will be counted on to outbound the Tigers.
Kansas' Nick Collison blocks a shot against Missouri-Kansas City on Saturday as Jeff Boschee (foreground) looks on. The two hope to team up on defense against Princeton tonight as successfully as they did against UMKC.

International students take English exam to be GTAs
Passing proficiency test lets graduate students teach at University
By Eve Lamborn Kansan staff writer
A test that some international students will take tomorrow could mean the difference between paying to study at the University of Kansas and getting paid.
The Kansas Board of Regents requires international graduate students who want to be teaching assistants, to prove their proficiency in spoken English, said Mark Algren, Speak Test administrator at the Applied English Center
Students who pass are eligible to possibly forego out-of-state tuition.
The Speak Test is administered by the University and clears students to teach at KU only. There is no cost to take it. The Test of Spoken English is administered by the Educational Testing Service and students who pass can teach at any university, Algren said. This test costs $130 to take.
Chuck Seibel, director of the Applied English Center, said students at KU had to pass one of the two tests to prove this proficiency.
Takako Yano, Iwakuni, Japan, graduate student, took the Speak Test last December and was hired at the beginning of this semester to teach Japanese 104. She said she still had a lot of things to improve about her English, but she enjoyed the opportunity to teach anyway.
"I have great students who are eager to learn, and they're so helpful," she said.
Yano said that when she became a teaching assistant, she started earning money and didn't have to pay any more out-of-state tuition.
"Teaching in Japan is a career goal and I'm getting a lot of experience from being a GTA," she said. "I'm really lucky."
Algren said the Speak Test was administered monthly. He estimated that about 350 students would take the test during this school year, through the end of the summer term. Algren said 38 students are signed up to take the test tomorrow.
He said the University had a need for teaching assistants, and international students gained experience and learned new ways to approach teaching. Algren said the test was designed to minimize complaints from undergraduates about being unable to understand their TAs. Algren said he advised students to continue to practice their English skills, even if they passed the test.
Ann Moser, Hemingford, Neb., junior, leads a conversation group through the Applied English Center that helps students practice their conversational English. She said some of her best teaching assistants were international students because they provided a different perspective.
"Most of them are experts in their field, or they wouldn't be here," she said. "They know a lot about their subject matter and if you can get past the English barrier, there's a lot to be learned from them."

New fraternity may get charter
Student looks to start gay, bisexual chapter this spring semester
By Jeremy Clarkson Kansan staff writer
Two years after a failed attempt to establish the first fraternity at the University of Kansas focused on gay, bisexual and progressive men, another student is trying again.
Galen Stoeber, Garden City junior, has been working to recruit members for a KU chapter of Delta Lambda Phifrater-
nity, In 1999, Matthew Skinta, then president of Queers and Allies, attempted to have a meeting for students who were interested in bringing the fraternity to the University, but his meeting did not draw any interested students.
Stoeber has renewed the subject and is completing the necessary paperwork so that the group can be established by late January.
Kelly Jo Karnes, assistant director for Student Organizations and Leadership Development Center, said she had been in contact with Stoeber to assist in establishing the chapter.
students and has found that it was something that has been an interest," she said.
On Nov. 19, Stoeber said he had a meeting to see how many people were interested in helping establish the fraternity. So far, Stoeber said there were seven people who wanted to join.
Erik Wilhelmi, Shawne junior, is one of them. He said he had an interest in greek life when he came to the KU, but he never joined a fraternity.
"I like the sense of brotherhood, but I wasn't sure if the fraternities would be willing to accept me as a gay man." Wilhelm said.
Karnes said she supported the frater
nity because it would help serve gay and bisexual students who might feel uncomfortable in the traditional greek system. She also said it would be a positive addition to the greek community.
"They want to have the greek experience." she said.
Stoeber said he had no concerns or fears of establishing a fraternity that was focused on gays and bisexuals.
He said his only concerns were finishing the application and paying the $250 fee to establish the fraternity on campus.
Niagara: A sexual energy drink?

Makers of aphrodisiac claims it increases women's sex drives
By Lauren Brandenburg
Kansan senior staff writer
An aphrodisiac drink marketed as "Viagra for women" is slowly coming to Lawrence. In Manhattan, Niagara is slightly more popular, where bars are beginning to serve it.
Niagara, a blue energy drink, is being sold as the "Viagraf for women." The Palace, Eighth and Massachusetts streets, started carrying the drink on Oct. 18, but not many people have purchased it. Some people who have tried Niagara said it was a disappointment.
Seth Hansen, bartender for Rusty's Last Chance Restaurant & Saloon in Manhattan, said he mixed it with vodka when people requested it.
Lawrence bars don't sell it, however, because no one is asking for it.
The Palace, a gift shop at Eighth and Massachusetts streets, started selling Niagara Oct. 18th, said Kathy Sexton, manager-buyer for the store.
She said she hadn't received too many comments about it.
"People look at it, but we haven't sold very much of it." Sexton said.
Sexton said she thought people usually purchased Niagara as a gag gift for bridal showers.
"I've been told it works better for older women, but I'm not sure." she said.
Niagara, which was created in Sweden, came to the United States in 1993 when a woman from Arkansas tried it, liked it, and decided to distribute it in the United States.
Those who have tried it in Lawrence said the drink didn't
meet their expectations.
Laura Jones, Canton, III., senior, said she was disappointed when she tried it.
"I didn't feel anything," she said.
Erin Adamson, Lawrence senior and Kansan opinion editor, said it definitely had more caffeine than cola or a few cups
of coffee,but she couldn't understand why it would be an aphrodisiac.
"It was an aphrodisiac in the sense that if I was sitting next to someone I cared about, I would probably jump on them," Adamson said. "But other than that, I couldn't understand what was sexual about it."
What she felt instead was instantly energized.
"It was like a big rush, and my heart was racing," she said. "Everything looked way too bright."
Adamson said drinking the Nijagara was fun, though.
"It tastes good, and it smells kind of like lavender. It's fizzy,
kind of like an antacid. It's fun to drink." she said.
She said she wouldn't buy it again for the purpose of arousal but that she would definitely consider it if she needed to pull an all-nighter.

Student Senate finishes stagnate fall semester
By Luke Daley Kansan staff writer
Senate dealt with several matters including improving minority recruitment and retention, getting better student seating for basketball games at Allen Fieldhouse and creating the Off Campus Student Living Center, but no plans were finalized this semester.
Student Senate members who ran with the Delta Force coalition last spring hoped to tackle an assortment of campaign promises this semester, but most of those pledges will have to wait until next semester.
Kyle Browning, student body vice president, said minority recruitment and retention was heavily discussed, but that nothing was really accomplished.
"I think we have started a lot of things," Chiles said. "But I thought Senate was very quiet."
Changing where students sit or stand - for KU basketball games will depend on continuing debates between Senate members, the Athletics Department, the Alumni Association and the management staff of Allen Fieldhouse.
"We're still facing a problem with people talking and making suggestions, but no one wants to put themselves on the line to do something about it," Browning said.
Matt Dwyer, Delta Force off-campus senator, said he didn't think reconfigur-
ing Fieldhouse seating would be a big problem.
Dwyer and other students presented their plans last month to the Athletics Department.
"I really don't know what will happen next semester," Dwyer said. "We went above and beyond what they expected us to do. I'm pretty confident in Al Bohl."
However, Chiles said changing Fieldhouse seating would be difficult.
"I see that getting crushed pretty easily," she said. "I think we have great seating."
INSIDETODAY
The Off-Campus Student Living Center took a major step toward establishment at the final full Senate meeting of the semester. Senate passed a bill allocating $17,000 toward production of the
center.
Browning said the office should be ready for operations by the beginning of the fall semester.
Campaign platform issues weren't all that Senate dealt with this fall.
Senate members argued whether credit card solicitation should be banned on campus. Many senators were split on the issue, but it passed in Senate by a 35 to 20 vote during the last full Senate meeting of the semester.
The resolution asking for a ban on credit card solicitors goes to Provost David Schulenburger, who will decide whether solicitation should end or be limited.

K-State graduate donates $5 million to KU First
An alumn of Kansas State University gave $5 million to the University of Kansas, Chancellor Hemenway announced yesterday.
The $5 million given to the Kansas University Endowment Association will be deposited in unrestricted accounts, which are funds given without a specific purpose attached.
More than half of the donation will be used for resources, such as materials for faculty and equipment. The remaining $1.8 million will be used for unrestricted scholarships, which are allotted by the chancellor.
James L. Sharp graduated from KState in 1933 with a degree in business administration and went to work for Boeing in Wichita until retirement. He died in 1999, and left the gift to the endowment in his will.
The $5 million gift count toward the $500 million-dollar goal of the KU First fundraising campaign, and is the third largest bequest received.

Family of murder victim sues killer's employer
STATE
WICHITA, Kan. — The family of a murdered teacher has filed a lawsuit against her killer's former employer, claiming the company didn't do enough to protect the public from "dangerous, convicfied felons."
The lawsuit by Janice Vredenburg's relatives seeks at least $75,000 from National Catastrophe Restoration Inc.
Tanner Green was working for the company in February 2000 when he and several employees were sent to repair a water pipe at Vredenburg's home in Wichita. He returned weeks later and beat and slashed her to death.
At the time, Green was on parole for robbing a woman at knifepoint and attacking a fellow inmate in prison.
In January, Green was convicted of first-degree murder in Vredenburg's death. He is serving a life sentence with no possibility of parole for 50 years.
Vredenburg's family members filed the lawsuit in hopes of preventing similar tragedies, their attorney said.

Leaders still waiting on al-Qaida to yield
The Associated Press
TORA BORA, Afghanistan — Afghan tribal commanders set a new deadline yesterday for the surrender of a group of al-Qaida fighters cornered in a mountain canyon and under heavy U.S. attack, demanding that top terrorist suspects, possibly including Osama bin Laden, also turn themselves in.
U. S. air strikes sent smoke and debris billowing into the air as they pounded the desolate canyon where the al-Qaida fighters were boxed in after being forced out of their caves in the Tora Bora region of eastern Afghanistan. An earlier deadline yesterday morning passed without the men's surrender.
Claiming they wanted to end the carriage, tribal eastern alliance leaders gave a new ultimatum, giving the men from bin Laden's terror network until noon today (1:30 a.m CST) to surrender. But the alliance said it would not
accept the surrender unless leaders with them also turned themselves in.
This would include bin Laden and others on Washington's list of most wanted terrorist suspects if they were at Tora Bora, said Ghafar, the mayor of the nearby city of Jalalabad.
"But we don't know where Osama is," said Ghafar, who like some Afghans goes by one name only. He said the alleged terrorist chief might be hiding in thick alpine forest along the nearby border with Pakistan. Other leaders might have escaped during a failed cease-fire overnight, he said.
Gen. Peter Pace, vice chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the Pentagon did not know whether the al-Qaida leadership was in the Tora Bora area. He said it would be "great" if they were. He told reporters in Washington that he was "not aware" of any direct contact between U.S. forces on the ground and al-Qaida.
Frenchman failed flight school
The Associated Press
NORMAN, Okla. — During the months he spent at Airman Flight School, Zacarias Moussaoui became known for three things: his chattiness, his linebacker looks and his stubborn refusal to repeat lessons when he failed.
Even after 57 hours of flight lessons at the Oklahoma school between February and May, he still wasn't able to fly solo — something most students can do in a third of that time.
But although Moussaoui could be frustrating, he never gave the slightest hint he intended to harm anyone. Airman admission director Brenda Keene said Tuesday after learning he had just been indicted in the Sept. 11 attacks.
"To think I helped this guy come into this country, talked to him for five months, helping him with stuff and he tried to kill us," Keene said Tuesday.
Moussaoui, a 33-year-old Frenchman of
Moroccan descent, was indicted on a federal conspiracy charge, accused of plotting the attacks with Osama bin Laden and others. He has been in jail since mid-August and faces arraignment Ian. 2 in Alexandria, Va.
Although he could be exasperating, Moussaoui was polite, Keene said, often calling her Miss Brenda. She said Moussaoui never did anything that seemed suspicious.
After a few months at the school, he got a ride with a University of Oklahoma student to Minnesota, where he intended to train on Boeing flight simulators. But on Aug. 17, Moussaoui was detained there on immigration charges after he aroused suspicions by saying he wanted to learn how to fly jetliners but wasn't interested in knowing how to take off or land.
Moussaoui was still locked up when terrorists crashed hijacked jetliners into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Pilot who died in attack allowed burial in cemetery
ARLINGTON, Va. — Funeral services were held yesterday at Arlington National Cemetery at the pilot of the hijacked jet that terrorists crashed into the Pentagon.
Charles Frank Burlingame III was "a true American patriot who paid the ultimate sacrifice as one of our nations first warriors to perish in the war on terrorism," said Sen. George Allen, R-Va., in prepared remarks.
Burlingame, 51, a former Navy pilot and 17-year Naval reservist, was initially denied his own grave at Arlington because he died before age 60, the eligibility age for reservists. Allen asked President Bush to grant an exemption.
Army officials said he was eligible to have his cremated remains placed in the cemetery's Columbarium, or share his parents' plot. Burlingame's family protested, saying his long military history and the fact that he died in the Sept. 11 attacks should have been taken into account.
Army Secretary Thomas White reversed the decision and allowed Burlingame to have his own plot.
Taped bin Laden videos held by Arab news station
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — The Arabic-language AI Jazeera news station acknowledged yesterday that it refrained from broadcasting several videos of Osama bin Laden, taken before and after Sept. 11, for editorial or technical reasons.
Ibrahim Helal, the station's editor-in-chief, said the collection may include a videotape that was referred to in a dossier released by the office of British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
"We decide not to run tapes if there is nothing newsy in them," he said, adding that the station has not been subject to any government pressure to pull the bin Laden tapes.
In Washington yesterday, the White House prepared to release a videotape, apparently meant for internal al-Qaida use.
Numerous U.S. officials have already seen the tape and translations of what's on it. They say it proves bin Laden is behind the attacks.

Jayhawks serve as emergency substitute teachers
By Lauren Brandenburg
Kansan senior staff writer
Seth Duell spent last semester sitting in class as a University of Kansas student one day and teaching class the next.
Duell, Fayetteville, Ark., senior, substitute taught as one of the Lawrence school district's emergency substitutes. Students who already have experience working with youth can receive an emergency substitute certificate to teach in Kansas once they have at least 60 hours of college credit.
Education classes do not neces
sarily have to be part of those 60 hours, but they are preferred. Martha Gage, director of certification and teacher education for the Kansas Department of Education, said the requirements had been this way at least since the early 1980s, but the number of certificates her office issued had doubled since the 1996-97 school year.
Gage said the certification cost $24 and lasted for one year. The certificate can be renewed for another year for the same amount. The certificate restricts the number of days someone
without a bachelor's degree can substitute to 15 consecutive days in one assignment and 60 days total per semester.
About half of the 300 substitutes for the Lawrence school district are emergency substitutes, said Mary Rodriguez, executive director of human resources for the district.
Many of the district's 143 emergency substitutes meet more than the minimum criteria, Rodriguez said. Ninety one have a bachelor's degree and 14 have a master's degree. Before they are allowed to
enter a classroom, they are given a handbook and required to attend a half-day district orientation.
Substitutes earn $82 for a full day and $41 for a half day.
"The main thing is that we want to provide the best education for students," Rodriguez said. "Teachers have to be gone, and subs fill a critical need."
Duell, who is an English major and has no long-term plans to teach, said substitute teaching was a great experience and one he would recommend, although he said even second graders were
smart enough to try to take advantage of a substitute.
"It's a good opportunity to stretch yourself," he said. "It's good to adapt to all different situations and people."
Allison McCracken, a Shawnee senior studying elementary education, hopes to become certified to be an emergency substitute next semester. McCracken has completed all the requirements for her degree except her student teaching.
"I want to do it for experience," she said. "I'll be in grad school at

Exercise, sleep can prevent illness
Mia Brown, St. Louis, Mo., sophomore, works out on a gliding aerobic machine at Robinson Center. Brown works out every day — finals or not.
By Matt Norton
Kansan staff writer
Local health and fitness officials have a suggestion for students that will help them perform better on finals and stay healthy throughout the holiday break: get sleep and exercise.
Myra Strother, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that students who crammed all night for exams or writing papers did not necessarily perform better than those who slept at night.
Tim Glassco, third-year law student, said he had difficult exams yesterday and today.
While he had gone for short jogs three times in the last week, the past few days he had done nothing but study.
"I've worked out about half as much as I'd like to." Glassco said. "When I have back-to-back days of tests, it's easier to focus strictly on studying."
Strother said after two to three hours of studying, students start to get groggy and their metabolism slows down.
Exercise can help speed up metabolism, making it easier to study as well as increasing the efficiency of time spent studying, Strother said.
Studying for long periods also leads to sleep deprivation, which can lead to illness, she said.
Headaches, stomach problems, anxiety and depression are all related to mental stress.
and getting some form of exercise allows muscles to relax in a way that helps students sleep better, she said.
Exercise and maintaining a proper diet also can help alleviate colds and other respiratory illnesses that often occur during this time of the school year, Strother said.
"Right after finals, a lot of
people get sick," she said.
"But if people would take better care of themselves during finals, they wouldn't get sick nearly as much."
Matt McGhee, personal training director at Total Fitness, 2339 Iowa St., said the club had a significant dropoff in the number of students working out in the past cou
ple weeks.
He recommended clients get away from the typical health club circuit of machines that focus on one body part at a time, like biceps curls, for example.
"Most newcomers aren't going to have much of a bicep to focus on anyway," he said.
Instead, he said that students could get a good fullbody workout in 45 minutes, and could do it two or three times a week.
He suggested 20 minutes of cardiovascular exercise followed by a circuit of exercises that worked multiple muscle groups at the same time.
If pressed for time, a 20 minute walk followed by some pushups and situps could be an alternative to going to a gym, Strother said.
Sabrina Marino, who works in the recreation facilities management office at Robinson Center, said student use of the fitness facilities there decreased some during the day as the semester came to a close, but students also came more often later in the evening.
According to a log report, there was an average drop of 23 people per hour using the Robinson facilities from November to December 2000. So far in December 2001, there has been virtually no drop off.
She said Robinson was open various hours during finals and winter break.

Hawk Night brings clean holiday fun
Hawk Nights is many things to many different people. For a student living in a residence hall, it is an opportunity to get out of the halls and score some free Coke products, snacks and maybe a prize at the Union.
For a family living in Stouffer Place, it could be a chance to meet new people and entertain the kids and adults. For a student living off-campus, it's a free on-campus event where one can catch a movie, listen to a band and maybe even meet a cute fellow Jayhawk!
Commentary
A Hawk Night is a non-alcoholic, on campus free event, open to all KU students. Funded by a grant from the City of Lawrence, Hawk Nights are a presence on campus to provide a free event to all members of the KU community.

The Hawk Nights committee is made up of a group of students representing various campus organizations like the Association of University Residence Halls, the All Scholarship Hall Council,
Interfraternity Council and the Panhellenic Association and students from Student Senate and the Student Alumni Association are present as well. Our job is to develop fun and interesting programs that would appeal to all students. Hawk Nights are always a Friday or Saturday night, typically at an on-campus location.
So now you know what a Hawk Night is. The question is, why should you go? Lots of reasons. For one, it's a chance to do something different.
Let's face it: We tend to go to the same
places when we go out, be it a bar, club,
house or to the movies.
Hawk Nights gives you a chance to go somewhere new. Rock climb on the wall at Robinson Center, bet all you've got at Templin's Casino Night or rock out to some awesome bands at the Burge Union. Since you're in a new place, there's a good chance you'll meet some people you didn't know before.
This is a great opportunity to interact with people from a different part of campus, or even the globe.
Hawk Nights is a great place to take your group or campus organization to hang out and mix up your regular schedule of events and have some fun while you're at it. You just can't go wrong with free food, feasting on caramel apples and hot cider while you're carving a pumpkin or eating the gingerbread house that has just won you a DVD player.
Most importantly, Hawk Nights are all about students. Planned by students
for students, we want to present exciting and different things that you would be interested in. If you ever have a suggestion or comment about an event, contact Aramis Watson at watsona@ku.edu. We'd love to hear from you.
The next Hawk Night is "Chaos at the Burge Union." It is today at the Burge Union. We'll have a gingerbread house contest, cookie decorating, a video game tournament with EA Sports, pictures with Santa and Mrs. Claus and Baby Jay, as well as party pics.
Plus, the movie A Christmas Story, free professional massage, lots of free food and great prizes are included in the Hawk Nights event.
So, if you don't want to shell out your last $5 for a movie or go to that same bar again, check out a Hawk Night. You just might like it.

Fully-funded education vital to state's economy
Throughout the state's history, Kansans have favored a strong education system. Countless surveys confirm that elementary, secondary and postsecondary education remains a top priority Not only do we want to prepare our young people to be successful, contributing adults, but we also recognize the critical role of education in the state's economy and quality of life.
Compared with other states — even those that connect with our borders, such as Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa — higher education in Kansas has long been a bargain. The University of Kansas' resident undergraduate tuition and fees are $2,884, which is $2,000 below Missouri's, almost $900 below Nebraska's and more than $600 below Iowa's. Iowa has approved an increase of $668 for fall 2002.
MICHAEL B. HARTMAN
The University of Kansas and the state's five other regents universities have attracted international recognition because of solid educational programs, outstanding faculty and cutting-edge research. Kansans expect excellence from their higher education institutions. In recent years, it has become more challenging to meet those expectations because resources have not kept pace with the costs of hiring and retaining outstanding faculty, adequately compensating support staff and student workers, and paying utility bills and other operating expenses.
Commentary
Although education is a top priority of Kansans, state appropriations per student at regents schools have declined dramatically in the past 15 years. Between 1985 and 2000, inflation-adjusted state funding for KU dropped from $6,469 to $5,802 per student. If we were funded in fiscal year 2000 at the same rate as fiscal year 1985, we would have $15 million more in state appropriations.
We have stretched state dollars through streamlining operations, implementing conservation measures and vigorously pursuing private gifts and federal funding. We have made a little go a
David Shulenburger University provost opinionkanans.com
Compared with our five peer schools (Colorado, Iowa, North Carolina, Oklahoma and Oregon) — with which we share similar demographics and other attributes — our overall funding has declined to 80 cents on the dollar. For every dollar peer schools spend for operating expenses, we have 60 cents. For every dollar they spend for faculty salaries, we have only 90 cents. If we are to compete with our peers and keep our educational programs strong, we must do better.
longway in protecting the high quality of educational programs and preserving the value of a KU degree. But we are falling behind.
The University has begun that campus dialogue. We put together possible scenarios to demonstrate how a five-year tuition strategy might be implemented. These scenarios are meant to stimulate discussion and elicit feedback from our campus community, which will be used to formulate an actual proposal to take to the regents in April. Each scenario includes two alternatives: one that would place the bulk of the tuition increase on new students in Fall 2002
The funding gap is growing and threatens to erode the quality and value of a degree from a Kansas university. The Kansas Board of Regents believes it is time to consider raising tuition to address the gap. The regents have asked the six state universities to develop a five-year tuition strategy.
Before a specific recommendation is presented to the regents, each university will hold conversations with its campus community — students, faculty and staff
— to gather opinions about a strategy that makes the most sense.
and Fall 2003, and one that spreads the increase evenly across all students beginning in Fall 2002 and continuing through Fall 2005. These are the scenarios that have been discussed so far:
Of the three scenarios, when fully implemented, scenario A would result in $2,840 more for tuition; scenario B would mean an increase of $2,280; and scenario C would result in $1,440 more. That means, for example, if the increase were applied to all students rather than just new students, tuition would increase by $720 per year over the next four years in scenario A, $570 per year for scenario B and $360 per year for scenario C.
In scenario C, tuition for new students would be $3,604 for Fall 2002 and $4,324 in Fall 2003; alternatively, tuition for all students would be $3,244 in Fall 2002 and $3,604 in Fall 2003.
In scenario B, tuition for new students would be $4,024 in Fall 2002 and $5,164 in Fall 2003; alternatively, tuition for all students would be $3,454 in Fall 2002 and $4,024 in Fall 2003.
In scenario A, tuition for new students would be $4,324 in Fall 2002 and $5,764 in Fall 2003; in the alternative for this scenario, tuition for all students would be $3,604 in Fall 2002 and $4,324 in Fall 2003.
The size of our funding deficit compared with similar institutions is $50 million per year. The scenarios described above would address this deficit in differing degrees. Scenario A, when fully implemented, would erase the $50 million deficit completely. Scenario B would raise $40 million and would eliminate the deficit in nonfaculty personnel and funding for operating expenses; scenario C would eliminate half the deficit that currently exists.
All the scenarios include an $8 per credit hour technology fee to ensure that KU can replace broken and outdated technological equipment, a component critical to a modern education. The three scenarios we have presented for discussion exclude adjustments for inflation and maintenance. Tuition and fees represent about one-fourth of the total cost of attending KU; room and board, books and supplies, transportation, and other miscellaneous expenses make up the remainder.
We are deeply committed to maintaining access to KU; therefore, any proposal that we ultimately choose to present to the regents will include 20 percent for need-based financial aid. Scenario A includes $10 million for financial aid over four years, scenario B includes $8 million and scenario C includes $5 million. This funding would be awarded as grants rather than loans. Our inclusion of the financial aid provision in all scenarios has been applauded by students who have attended tuition strategy presentations.
The Lawrence campus discussions have yielded probing questions, carefully articulated concerns and thoughtful suggestions, all of which will play a role in shaping the five-year tuition strategy for KU. The editorial board of the Kansan, has said, "Although the administration has yet to decide upon a specific proposal, higher tuition is a necessity if the University of Kansas wants to continue providing first-rate higher education."
It would be irresponsible for the higher education system in Kansas to not seek alternative sources of revenue as state funding drops. The potential consequences are far too grim. If the present trends continue, graduates of Kansas institutions will be less competitive and could have less earning power than those obtaining degrees from more adequately funded universities. It takes a well-educated, well-prepared workforce to draw business and industry to Kansas and bolster the state's economy.
If our funding levels cannot be brought more into line with our peers, the cost to our students will be far greater and longer-lasting than any additional tuition they will be asked to invest in their educations.

Black fraternities contribute to diversity
I was set on ending this year without experiencing any real drama from the Kansan; however, because of an article about diversity in greek life that appeared Monday ("A Sense of Brotherhood"), it would appear that I have been forced out of retirement. Because the paper saw fit to address the diversity issue in the University of Kansas' greek system, pay attention, because school is now in session.
Commentary
Conway Ekpo
Guest Columnist
opinionkansan.com
Often when people talk about greek diversity, or the lack thereof, they are quick to place all of the blame on the Interfraternity Council and the National Panhellenic Council, as if to say that these two organizations have the ability or the responsibility to force
I
minorities to join the greek system.
The last time I checked, diversity was a two-way street. Diversity places responsibility on both sides of the fence. I commend the Interfraternity Council and National Panhellenic Council for overcoming years of racism and prejudice that have ostracized minorities, and I would further challenge these
organizations to continue to open doors for any and all minorities who may be interested in joining.
I need to take this opportunity to educate any misinformed individuals who seriously believe that historically Black fraternities or sororites of the National Pan-Hellenic Council are an "alternative" to the "real" greek system at the University or that these groups have a "lack of focus on academics." The National Pan-Hellenic Council has been a part of the University since 1915, and anyone truly doing his or her research will discover that GPA requirements have always been in place for all the traditionally Black and Latino organizations. Student must have a certain GPA to be eligible for membership in the National Pall Hellenic Council.
In understanding true diversity, it is important to recognize the that people are different and that this is not a bad thing. Quite the contrary, it is a good thing. It is still acceptable, even in the year 2001, for people to want to bond with others like themselves.
I am a member of the historically Black fraternity Kappa Alpha Psi and I had the great honor of speaking with one of my own fraternity brothers, the late Wilt Chamberlain, before he passed. Brother Chamberlain expressed to me that the reason he wanted to become a member of my fraternity back in 1958 was not because he was barred
from the traditionally white greek organizations, but because he wanted to bond with others like himself who shared similar experiences and similar backgrounds.
So there's no need to be offended or concerned or write an article when minorities choose to bond with other minorities and not join the mainstream greek system. This is conducive to diversity and provides an opportunity to learn about others who are different than ourselves, and it should be celebrated and not condemned.

Consult students about tuition
A select group of University officials has put together three proposals for a tuition increase and then presented them to students and faculty two weeks ago. I know many students have a problem with this.
I want to challenge the members of the University community to take action. The Regents requested the involvement of students, faculty and staff in order to develop a clear and concise university plan.
Student Senate is working on a number of different projects including critically reviewing the three current proposals, informing students about their options and developing a separate proposal.
If you are interested in helping us, contact any Student Senator or me.

On an individual level each student can take action. Attend the presentations the Provost is giving and ask him questions that you think are important. Senate is running a survey in this week's paper to get your vision for KU.

Please fill this out and return it to one of the various locations listed on campus. Talk about this issue with other students and other affected parties. Most of us will be traveling home for the holidays. Talk to your parents about this and let them know about the proposed tuition hike.
Finally, as students, we should demand that we have say in where our money goes. When a tuition increase is proposed, students should be consulted.
The way I look at it, the least they can do is involve us in a discussion about a tuition increase that will certainly
affect nearly every student now and in the future. That's why I do not support any increase that does not include strong student involvement in the allocation of tuition dollars.
If we look at other regent institutions' handling of the situation, we find that their students have had much more participation in tuition discussions. Emporia State set up a committee and has students on it. Fort Hays State students have been reviewing tuition plans for months and had it put to their student government for a vote. K-State has had at least a month and a half to review proposals.
We have been left out of the initial discussions, but it is not too late to assert our influence on these decisions. It is up to us to present our vision of the University future, a vision that is inclusive of all members of this community.

Many legislators responsible for lack of funding
There's more to the story
In a column entitled "Why we need a tuition increase and who could have prevented it," which ran Monday, I made the argument that the University of Kansas needed to raise tuition because the state legislature has not given sufficient funding to the University. I laid blame for the lack of funding at the feet of current Senate President and former Senate Budget Committee Chairman David Kerr.
Senator Kerr begs to differ.
On one point, he is unquestionably correct. I wrote in Monday's column that "From 1996 to 2000 as the economy grew and tax revenues swelled, Kerr successfully pushed $800 million into tax cuts." That was wrong. The legislature did pass $800 million in tax cuts during that time period, but to say that Kerr pushed those tax cuts through is incorrect.
Commentary
Brendan Woodbury Associate Opinion Editor opinionakansan.com
PETER
During that time, Kerr served as Senate Ways and Means Committee Chairman. The Ways and Means Committee is responsible for spending bills. Tax bills go through the taxation committee.
Notably, however, in 1997, Kerr cast one of three votes against HB 2031, a bill which substantially cut property taxes. In explaining his vote, he said "I vote 'No' on HB 2031 with some reluctance because I share with my colleagues the
desire to reduce taxes, especially the propertytax.
Unfortunately, I believe time will prove that the reductions contained in this bill are not well reasoned nor logical. We could have reduced taxes this year. We could have reduced taxes next year. But in this bill, we have taken a step designed to create a funding crisis. I do not agree with that policy."
As it turned out, the tax revenues fell short of expectations and the state was forced to cut spending. Then this year, when Governor Graves attempted to raise education spending, he was forced to ask for a tax increase. The tax hike and accompanying spending increase were defeated in the legislature.
The Kansan ran a correction on the tax cut process on Tuesday after I talked with Senator Kerr. But he believes, and I
agree, that the issue deserves more space. There is more to the story.
The tuition increase is a complex issue, and the three scenarios are complicated. The issues with funding by the legislature stretch back several years. The uses of the newly raised funds are many and varied. There is much more to the story. There is always another angle that can be explored, another document that can be researched.
The difficulty in making a decision and taking a position is in the simplification. It is in deciding which information to focus on and which to cast aside. Obviously, in a legislative body made up of two houses and hundreds of members, no one man is solely responsible for anything. Others played prominent roles in the shaping of the legislative agenda over the last five years.
But someone must be accountable for the funding situation that Kansas higher education finds itself in, and if it's not the leaders of the legislature, then who?
A tuition increase is a burden onto all students who don't have school paid for with a full scholarship. Anger is a natural reaction. But we can't stop there. If we are to gain from this experience and do better in the future, we must work to understand how we got here. And to do that, we need to find out the full story. I do too.

Women's team yet to click
Hoopsters looking to get all cylinders running together
By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter
With finals lurking around the corner, the Kansas women's basketball team is continuing to search for the right answer, and the Jayhawks hope they can earn a passing grade at 7:05 tonight against Wichita State (4-2).
Kansas (3-6) is off to its worst start since the 1983-84 season, when it began 3-7. After a 51-48 loss to Weber State on Saturday, the Jayhawks look to redeem themselves in their final home non-conference game of the season. Kansas coach Marian Washington said her team would need to fix one main problem before the new year.
"I think our biggest challenge is that we don't have five players that are on the same page all the
time," Washington said. "We have spurs of good things and then they break down and then we come back with another spurt. It really does hurt us."
Kansas' lack of continuity proved costly against Weber State. The Jayhawks jumped out to a quick 16-3 lead but let the Wildcats tie the score at 26 going into halftime. Senior center Nikki White said her team must focus on playing a complete game if the Jayhawks are to succeed this season.
"It's all going to have to start in practice. For a little while it's been the same way — we've been going in spurs," White said. "Once we can really chime into knowing what we need to do on a consistent basis then it will show up in games."
Kansas owns an all-time record of 30-5 against the Shockers and has a perfect 17-0 record when playing at home. Wichita State has already faced two Big 12 Conference teams this season,
earning a win against Oklahoma State and losing to Oklahoma 89-68. Five Shockers are averaging double figures while only two Kansas players consistently reach double digits. Washington said she hoped to see her freshmen contribute more on the offensive end.
"I think Blair (Waltz) is doing a great job. Blair is very offensive-minded and I'm really tickled with her," Washington said. "I think that if Chelsea (Thompson) would lift her head a little bit and realize some of the good things she's doing she could help us even more. Both of these kids are going to be very good in another year."
Senior guard Selena Scott, who leads the team in scoring (13.0), steals (2.1) and free throw percentage (.846), said she knew what her young team needed at this point in the season.
"We've just got to find it within ourselves," Scott said.

Roundup: Tennis, swimming and golf finish strong

Texas on Senior Night at the Horejsi Family Athletic Center.
Tennis
The tennis team saw several individuals succeed this fall.
Sisters Courtney and Kristin Steinbock cruised through the doubles field at the Aztec Tennis Invitational, taking the championship after winning all three of their matches.
Senior Cheryl Mallaiah nearly captured a title in San Diego, as she advanced to the finals before falling to a top-seeded and 46th nationally ranked player from San Diego State.
Another season highlight came at the Indiana Invitational in Bloomington, Ind., when sophomore Emily Haylock and junior Kim Lorenz
won three straight matches in the Singles Flight No.2 bracket to set up an all-Jayhawk meeting in the championship match. Haylock defeated teammate Kim Lorenz in the final. Swimming and diving
The Kansas swimming and diving team finished the fall season with five wins in six dual meets. Coach Cathy Burgess' team also finished third in the Big 12 Invitational and fifth at the Minnesota Invitational.
Kansas set six pool records on the way to winning a tri-meet at Southwest Missouri State Nov.3, as it defeated SMS 99-40 and the University of Houston 91-48.
Burgess was particularly impressed by the 'Hawks win in the season's final dual season Dec. 8 at Wyoming.
The Hawks will return from
winter break with a dual at Texas A&M on Jan. 13.
Golf
The Kansas men's golf team saved its best performance for the last tournament of the fall season. The Jayhawks tied for second place in the 20-team field at the Prestige at Palm Desert.
The men's team finished fifth at both the Stanford Invitational and Jim Colbert Intercollegiate.
The women's golf team toped off its fall season with a 10th place finish out of 18 teams at the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational at Lawrence's Alvamar Golf Club. The finish was the highest of the season for the women's team.

Celebrating this season without a hero
Happy Holidays, everybody.
Mine won't be as happy this year. That's because while I'm celebrating at home in Denver, half my family will be in Alabama, celebrating Christmas with my stepsister, whose husband just couldn't make it this year.
It won't be as happy because, at roughly the same time I'm giving my last gift and sitting down to dinner, my hero will be half a world away, taking aim at another "strategic military target."
For the past four years, I've struggled with the topic of my last column ever in the Kansan. I thought about doing something on myself, but that wouldn't be appropriate. After all, there are more important things to worry about, and there are certainly better people in this world.
Scott Ward never played sports — at least not professionally. He was a quarterback in high school — in Vail, Colo., of all places — where he set records throwing to a high school teammate named Jeff Campbell. Campbell would go on to play in the National Football League. Scott chose more important things.
When it came to his college choice, Scott took the road less traveled — the United States Air Force Academy. While at the Air Force, Scott lived the ideal cadet life. He studied hard and earned his degree. He played a little lacrosse. And, when he was ready, he married my stepsister at the Academy's chapel and was officially welcomed into the family.
After graduation, he got ready for life after the Air Force. He had some regular duties — he even went to Kuwait a few times to "keep the peace" — but he never had to do anything during a war. That changed on Sept. 11.
Scott was one of the first in line to fight in Afghanistan. He left last Friday, and neither 1—nor anybody else in the family—has heard much from him since.
He lives in a tent with eight other guys and eats those dehydrated packages of food that make the Wescoe Terrace salad bar sound appetizing. There is a bathroom in his camp, but it's more than 100 feet from his tent, and the path in between is lined with scorpions.
We do know he's tired. He's flying four times as much as he usually does, on missions that he's not allowed to talk about. It's windy over there, and he said the wind could make the flying that much harder.
I check the Internet and news wires hourly for news from Afghanistan. I heard last week about American casualties, and I waited by my phone for bad news.
It didn't ring, and no news is good news at this point.
Scott never lost that quarterback mentality. He's the kind of guy who — even if he didn't have John Elway's arm or body — had his swagger. The kind of swagger that a gun-slinging quarterback has when he's down by 12 in the fourth quarter and knows he's got the other team right where he wants them.
So these holidays, Scott will be using that swagger to keep our country safe.
Meanwhile. I'll be at home, celebrating with half my family, pondering my future without the Kansan, and praying for no news.
Rigg is a Greenwood Village, Colo. senior in broadcast news.
One more note — A special thanks to my parents, my roommates, my friends, Tim Bush, Chris Wristen and Leah Kraft for everything they've done for me.
'Hawks roll on the road
Slow tempo doesn't keep Jayhawks from dominating Princeton in the second half
By Ryan Malashock Kansan sportswriter
PRINCETON, N.J. — Princeton vainly attempted to lull No. 4 Kansas into a slow, half-court oriented game last night. But that's not Kansas' style of play, and the Jayhawks proved it by controlling the tempo on both ends of the court in their 78-62 victory before a small but raucous sellout-crowd of 6,854 at Jadwin Gym.
Princeton held Kansas to a season-low 59 shots, but Kansas' offense quick
ened the pace of the game by capitalizing on fast-break opportunities whenever they were available. The Jayhawks frustrated the Tigers on the other end of the court, playing sound man-to-man defense.
The Jayhawks forced 20 turnovers. Kansas prevented the Tigers from converting on a backdoor cut, Princeton's marquee play, until nine minutes remained in the game.
"Defensively, we looked as good as we've been all year, except for the last part of the first half," Kansas coach Roy Williams said. "They play a tough style of offense, with their backdoor looks, but we were doing some really nice things."
Princeton coach John Thompson said Kansas' defensive pressure wreaked
havoc on the usually efficient Princeton offense.
"They really pressure the ball and they come after you," Thompson said. "They are the kind of team that can switch against anything, and their big guys can guard small guys."
Kansas junior forward Nick Collisor led the way for Kansas with 19 points freshman guard Aaron Miles scored a career-high 15 points and junior guard Kirk Hinrich totaled 11 points, seven rebounds and four assists.
Collison, Miles, Hinrich and junior forward Drew Gooden, who scored 15 points and snatched seven rebounds, sparked a 15-5 Kansas run in the game's first five minutes.
The Jayhawks took a commanding 31-12 lead with seven minutes to go in the
first half and appeared to be well on their way to a blowout victory. But the Tigers cut the lead to 35-29 at the half by going on a 17-4 streak, which ended with Tiger guard Ed Persia's three-pointer as time expired.
A visibly upset Williams expressed his displeasure to the Jayhawks as they headed to the locker room at halftime, and they responded. Kansas scored the first 10 points of the second half, six of them on Collison dunks. The Jayhawks' lead did not dip below double digits for the remainder of the contest.
"Coming out of the half, the key was to take care of the ball, and we did," Miles said. "We got careless and made some mistakes at the end of the first half."
Fall season has share of low, highlights

The fall sports season came to close without fanfare, but with expectations of future success.
The football team had its worst season in 10 years, but welcomed a new coach who has promised to bring the team to top of the Big 12 Conference. The cross country team continued to improve in coach Stanley Redwine's third season as the women notched their highest finish in conference history.

The women grabbed their highest finish since joining the Big 12 Conference. The women, who finished 11th last year, improved to eighth at the Big 12 Meet on Oct. 27 in Norman, Okla.
The highlight of the men's season came when the team placed fifth out of 28 teams at the Chili Pepper
Cross Country Festival, which was hosted by the University of Arkansas.
Soccer
The best season in Kansas women's soccer history was rewarded with one of 36 at-large bids to the NCAA Women's Soccer Tournament.

Mangino keeps two assistants from Allen's staff
By Jeff Denton Kansan sportswriter
A graduate assistant at Ohio State and two assistant coaches from this year's Kansas team have accepted offers to join Jayhawk football coach Mark Mangino's new coaching staff, The Topeka Capital- reported.
Brandon Blaney, who worked at Oklahoma with Mangino as a graduate assistant during the 2002 season, spent this year in the same role at Ohio State. The Topeka Capital-Journal said Blaney had already left Columbus, Ohio to join Mangino's staff.
According to The Topeka Capital Journal and the Lawrence-Journal World, Mangino will retain Travis Jones and Clint Bowen as assistant coaches. They were both assistants on Terry Allen's staff this season.
Jones, Kansas defensive line coach, came to Kansas last spring from Appalachian State in North Carolina as one of Jayhawks' seven new assistant coaches. Jones handled the recruiting chores at Appalachian State. He played defensive line at Georgia and served as one of its team captains in 1994.
The Lawrence Journal-World said another coach, Pat Henderson, defensive backs coach at Southern Methodist, had also been hired by Mangino. Henderson played defensive end at Kansas for one season in 1973.
Bowen, who has been an administrative assistant at Kansas, coached Kansas' special teams last season. He played defensive back at Kansas and led the team in tackles in 1992, the last time Kansas played in a bowl game.
Al Bohl, Kansas athletics director, said
Mangino has been on the road recruiting during the past several days.
Notes:
last week that Kansas had designated $1 million for Mangino's new coaching staff.
Mangino has been doing what he has a reputation for doing best during the past few days - recruiting.
Jon Kirby of MOKANfootball.com, who evaluates high school football talent in Kansas and Missouri and follows national recruits for both schools, said the hiring of Mangino had made a big splash in the Kansas City area.
"He's pretty polished, one of the best around," Kirby said. "He gets kids because they feel like they know him."
Kirby said Kansas' attraction for potential recruits had skyrocketed because of Mangino's name.
Brandon Blaney will work with Mangino as a graduate assistant. He was a graduate assistant last season at Ohio State.
Travis Jones will return for his second year as Kansas' defensive line coach

'Kansan' adviser provided laughs, advice for more than 15 years
By J. R. Mendoza
Kansan staff writer
Not even a stroke kept Tom Eblen from his morning critique of The University Daily Kansan.
Eblen still read the newspaper front to back, using his red, felt-tip pen to note the paper's strengths and weaknesses. He posted the critique in the newsroom.
"I didn't miss a day," he said. "The critique was done with my left hand. It looks like grade-school printing, but it was there."
But his daily critique of students' efforts will come to an end when the general manager and news adviser of the student publication retires, effective Friday, Dec. 21.
Malcolm Gibson, assistant professor of journalism, will replace Eblen.
Eblen has advised hundreds of KU students during his 15-and-a-half-year career in the School of Journalism and has taught reporting and editing courses.

Many of those students described Eblen as someone who provided guidance and advice.
Eblen said some of his memories of his tenure at the Kansan came from picking up the paper every day.

On any given morning, he could recall feeling his heart going into his throat after looking at something that might cause a problem.
"It's important to emphasize it is the exception not the rule," Eblen said. "You learn to really trust the students and respect the effort they make to present the truth in a meaningful context."
Eblen said the Kansan had come a long way since he became adviser, citing the paper's move in the '90s from printing at University Press of Kansas to printing at The Lawrence Journal-World.

Register, was Kansan editor-in-chief during Spring 1998. She remembered Eblen for his sarcastic, dry humor.
He said he still kept in contact with many of the students he advised during his 15-year career working with the Kansan.
Bates said Eblen had helped him and others find internships and jobs.
"He set up my first interview with The Emporia Gazette," Bates said. "He's a good advocate for beginning reporters."
"Tom taught me the value of humor in the newsroom and how to stay calm in the worst possible situation," she said. "But you know when he's serious."
Lindsey Henry, city hall reporter for The Des Moines
Mark McCormick, crime and safety team leader at The Wichita Eagle, took advanced reporting with Eblen in 1988 and 1989.
"He was very kind," McCormick said. "A good teacher can be like a parent — he gives in ways you couldn't possibly repay. One was inspiring you and also building your confidence."
Kursten Phelps, this semester's editor-in-chief of the Kansan, said Eblen often gave her professional and personal advice. She said he advised her during the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
"He helped me deal with having to figure out how to run a newsroom in a crisis situation," said Phelps, Manhattan senior.
Eblen's wife, Jeannie, said the work her husband had done at the Kansan was fantastic.
"Students are lucky to have someone like him who is concerned with how they do academically and how their jobs fit in with
their personal life," Jeannie Eblen said. "He's focused on trying to do the best for his students."
James Gentry, dean of journalism, said Eblen had done a good job in a position that could be difficult.

Get YOUR Kids Today!
Clockwise from left, Ty Martin, Abilene sophomore, Jim Flaigle, Wichita freshman, Shena Wolf, Waterville senior, and Mandalee Meisner, Hutchinson sophomore, cruise down a Dillions aisle during the wee hours of the morning. These college town consumers came to find the perfect last minute holiday gifts for their loved ones.
The shopping humbug Last-minute gifti deas for people who don't like to shop STORY COMPILED BY MAN DALEE MEISNER PHOTOS BY EN-KAE CHANG
$4.99 each, they seemed like the perfect gift for the hygiene-oriented girlfriend. Then, I came across a pair of toy hand-cuffs for $5. If the esteemed sex columnist of the Kansan approves, how could I go wrong?
Moving on to Dillons, I quickly decided on a yard-long log of summer sausage. At $9.99, the price was right, and I was certain my l ad y would be
In a college town like Lawrence, when finals and poverty can get in the way of thoughtfulness, rushed gift purchases are about as common as Ramen noodles. Yet, this doesn't necessarily mean last-minute holiday shopping has to be boring and burdensome. With a little creativity it can, in fact, become an adventure.
With this in mind, we challenged four students to find the perfect gift for a parent, child, significant other or friend in less than an hour, with a reasonable amount of money to spend: $10.
To increase the challenge, shopping was done at night — when regular gift-oriented stores are closed.
Their first-hand accounts of their shopping exploits at Walgreens, 400 W. 23rd St., and Dillons, 1015 W. 23rd St., follow.
Shena Wolf, Waterville sen-
shopping for parents
When shopping for parents, the challenge becomes finding things that won't shock them, that they will like and that will be practical enough to convince them that I am turning into a responsible gift-giving adult.
At Walgreens I found two glass candle holders ($1.99 each) and candles ($0.69 each), which seemed like a good start for a romantic present. With mood lighting, some sort of activity was necessary: clearly, playing cards ($2.99) were needed.
Wandering down more aisles, I came across
nice French Vanilla coffee ($3.99) — always good as a winter present—and a 500-piece puzzle in a tin ($5.99). These seemed like gifts for a nice, gentle afternoon activity during snowy days.

At Dillons, the final and most fabulous presents of all were found: a nice picnic trio of sparkling grape juice ($3.49).
high-end crackers ($2.49) and a nice Gouda cheese ($3.59).
Since I will probably end up buying my parents something from either a grocery store or a gas station, this was good practice for me.

First, I considered what a girl would like. After pondering for some time, I came up with the most appropriate idea I could concoct: bath beads. At only
ecstatic at receiving so stupendous a specimen of plastic-coated meat. Secure in the knowledge that my gifts would melt the heart of my No. 1 girl, I concluded my expedition and left to consider now the problem of gift wrapping...
Many seemingly ordinary things become magical, fantastic objects once placed in the hands of a child. Unfortunately, parents might not appreciate it if you gave their precious one, say, batteries.
Mandalae Meisner, Hutchinson sophomore,
shopping for child
At Dillons, I found a little gift bag for $1 and thought about the myriad small items I could put in such a bag to please a child: stickers, pencils and candy come to mind. You could even go over to the vending machines near the entrance of any grocery store and fill the bag with plastic bubbles full of cheap surprises.
At Walgreens I found a set of markers ($2.99), paint ($2.99) and a small sketchbook ($3.99) that, all together, would make a cute beginning art kit.
A one-time-use camera, which can cost anywhere from $6.99-$11.99, also makes an interesting gift for an older child. The concept is easy enough for young people to understand: Push the button, it flashes and the picture is taken.

In a situation such as this, creativity is key and the ability to make something from nothing can help to save face and cash.
At Walgreens, the only things I really found were a Michael Boltori Christmas
and a hideous neck tie ($5.49), so I held off until the next stop.

Things started slowly at Dillons, and time was running short when I happened into the fruitsnacks section and found just what I needed.
I looked at the shelf and saw a box of dates, and thought,
"What single guy would not like a date for the holidays?"
But I still wanted to sweeten the deal for my friend. How about a date with big jugs and a nice can?
I rushed to the dairy section and picked up two gallons of milk and then I found a large can of juice to round out the package.
I don't think anyone could find a better hook-up

Today's Birthday (Dec. 13).
You're very powerful this year. You're compassionate and loving, witty and confident, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Will there still be problems to overcome? You bet. Adversaries who test your skill, courage and dedication? Yep. Will you win? The odds are in your favor.
HOROSCOPES
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 9.
Liberty and justice will prevail, but only if you play by the rules. Don't go so mad at the bad guys that you become one of them. Be the true hero you are;
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 5.
Be frugal. The more pennies you pinch now, the better you'll do later. Put a halt to the spending.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)—Today is a 7.
You're in charge of aiming and deciding when to take action. An older person provides guidance, but you're pivotal to the mission's success. Your strength is in the truth, so use it.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 5.
There's no shortage of needs to be
filled. You're doing this work more out
of a sense of personal obligation than
as a way to make more money. That's
fine. Do your best.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 5.
In bed in bed would be a nice place to
spend this day — with an adventure
novel. Think your boss would let you
do that? Can you think of a way to
work it into your job? Research, perhaps?
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is an 8.
You may notice that you're very much in love. The object of your affections seems to have everything. But there's one thing he or she needs very much: the security only you can provide. Don't hold back.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is an 8.
You're always good with words, but now you're awesome. You'll choose the perfect ones to get your point across. You're a student and a teacher simultaneously. Pay attention!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 5.
Money has been an underlying theme
all month, and with good reason. You
could bring in a whole lot of it right now,
or lose a hefty bundle. Appliances and
other home improvements are good
investments.
C
Capricorn (Doc. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 5.
It's always darkest just before the storm or dawn. Anyway, don't panic if it feels like somebody turned off the lights. You'll get past this. You always do.
2
Today is a 5.
You're awesome today, but don't get so full of yourself that you lose objectivity. That's unlikely to happen. More likely, you'll win the debate.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is an 8.
Your team is red-hot! You provide the inspiration and the technical expertise, and they provide the enthusiasm, wit and good luck. They might even add some humor, which always helps.
Pisces(Feb.19-March20) — Today is a 6.
You may feel stiff, inhibited. Is it because there's a strict authority figure watching your every move? Or is it you who's being the authority figure? You'll be fine either way.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 9

Digitized Beats TWO FRENCH BANDS PROVE BEST PICKS
Carlos Centeno
Jayplay writer
The end of Digitized Beats is here, and so is the end of this year.
Since this section was created to review new electronic music CDs, it is only fair that I give you the best pair of albums for 2001. Why two? Because Top 5 lists often force the inclusion of CDs that aren't worth buying.
It was a year that saw French music as powerful as any other, and one that brought back classic bands such as Kraftwerk and their Expo Mixes singles album.
Many other CDs deserved a review, such as The Crystal Method's Tweekend and Brian Eno's Drawn From Life, to name a few. But the true groundbreakers for this year were Daft Punk and Air.
Let's start with the incredible retro electro duo from Paris — Daft Punk.
2
Their 2001 release Discovery was a gigantic step away from their previous Homework. Unlike their 1997 debut, it is a record that you can actually dance or listen to while sitting down.
Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter created a new world with their extreme sample morphing in 1993. It was their sensational "Da funk" single that gave life to what is now the most popular French band in the world.
Homework was a breakthrough in electronic music, but their last album was amazingly well crafted with "One more time" with the sexy, romantic voice of Romanthony and the disco samples that reverberate in the background.
The electrifying guitar solo of "Aerodynamic" is the beginning. "Digital Love"s sweet lyrics remind listeners of rainbow-flavored sunshine. Even the music videos were a total hit with the Japanese animé stories that never seemed to end with that "to be continued" feeling.
All the other tracks are worthy of a review; however, I must move on to the next album.
Its first one, Moon Safari, had smashing hits such as "Sexy boy," which had a video on MTV featuring a little stuffed gorilla as the main character. Other successful singles were "All I Need," with a beautiful guitar section reminiscent of hippe pink flowers and long hair.
Air's brilliant, yet dark, album was The Virgin Suicides, which was the score for Sofia Coppola's first movie based on a unique novel by Jeffrey Eugenides. Air's compositions set the pace for the movie and the score stood out on its own. With
This band was nominated for the 2001 Muzik Awards celebrated in London for best band, best album and best live act. Air, also a French band, has recorded three studio albums thus far.

dim church organ music and sad piano lines, the record was a different side of Air.
When it started to work on its latest album, it was clear that the Parisians had gone from a merely experimental band to an interesting proposal of pop and electronica. Nicolas Godin and Jean-Beno' Dunckel finished their work of art, titled 10,000 Hz Legend, this year.
With tracks such as "Electronic Performers," "Radian," "Lucky" and "Unhappy," there was no turning back to their first amateur album. "Electronic Performers is literally robotic blues."
However, it is only in tracks such as "Sex Born Poison" where the melancholic tragedy settles. The calm chords at the beginning that lead the way to digitized voices with prophetic words make you wonder how this awkward yet perfect song is going to end.
A majestic minimalist piano backed by digitized beats and lyrics such as "I want to patch my soul on your brain" that would even arouse Microsoft computer geek Bill Gates. In a similar mood, "How Does It Make You Feel," with ecclesiastical choruses and a talking Macintosh, makes it clear that this is no ordinary music.
I can almost predict that Air will be to electronica what Led Zeppelin was to rock — but only time and technology will tell.
"Wonder Milky Bitch" is another blend that must be tasted. A piano intro that makes you think about the Gerber baby diffuses itself, giving way to a deep, spooky voice that starts talking about a girl who "doesn't wear cosmetic" and "doesn't like arithmetic," while violins contemplate the girl's mystery until the end of the arrangement.
Two minutes into the song and catastrophe strikes with distorted sounds that imitate confusion and desperation. If that wasn't enough, the creepy girls from the choir and their "run to the fire exit" lines make me remember Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.
After the holidays, remember to save some of the money that your friends gave you and take a look at these 2002 releases: The Chemical Brothers' Come With Us; The Prodigy in Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned; and Dimitri from Paris, After The Playboy Mansion.

Creed, music sales rock
NEWYORK — Creed has weathered the storm of competition in the record stores, emerging on top of the charts once again.
The rock band's Weathered CD sold 458,000 for the week ending Sunday, an increase from the 417,000 sold in the previous week. Weathered has been the country's best-selling disc since it made its debut at the top of the charts three weeks ago. Creed's last disc, 1999's Human Clay, sold more than 10 million copies.
"Creed has developed into a serious juggernaut. Their last record just kept going and going," Alan Light, editor of Spin magazine, said yesterday. "There really isn't another band right now that does what they do, that real, straight-ahead, arena rock."
With the holiday-buying season in full
swing, overall music sales were up 22 percent from the week before, according to industry figures released yesterday.
Not far behind Weathered was volume eight of the popular Now That's What I Call Music compilation series. The disc, with hits from 'N Sync, Jennifer Lopez and others, sold 366,000 copies for the No. 2 spot. Another Christmas disc, *Christmas Extraordinaire* by Mannheim Steamroller, jumped from No. 8 to No. 5. with 242,000 copies sold.
The highest debut of the week was the Tribute to Heroes disc, a live recording of the performances from the September telethon to benefit the victims of the terrorist attacks. It sold 126,000 copies to place at No. 17.
Light said it was surprising that both the Tribute to Heroes disc and the Concert for New York benefit didn't sell better.

Be sexy by showing kindness to others
Well, sex fans and foes, this is the last column of the semester.
It's been real, hasn't it? Butt plugs, vibrators and the ins and outs of dorm-room sex are old news for this campus. I have some other topics burning a hole in my notebook, just waiting to be brought out at the perfect time next semester, but, as I've already helped the moral state of our society continue to rot, I've decided to take it easy on all those people my column continually freaks out, and take it a little bit easier on this, my last moment of erotic literary glow.
And for the record, they're is lucky I did. I had a real ziner stored for this very occasion.
But, it's a dark, angry Wednesday today. And though my mind is, as always, filled with lustful, impure thoughts, something else is crowding in.
Commentary
Meghan
Bainum
Sex Columnist
jayplay=kansan.com
Right now, you, me and most (if not all) of the people in whatever class you're sneakily reading this in now, are trying to have a good day. Really trying. Boyfriends, girlfriends, parents, homework, friends, lovers, money, beer, sex, television, religion, terrorism, horniness, war . . . these are only some of the things we have spinning around clouding our thoughts and feelings all day. Add a stressed-out boyfriend, late paper and crappy weather to the mix and, well . . . it's almost too much to bear.
So, today was a bad day for me. Nothing went right. And it should have! I had great sex last night. I had a great time with my friends, too. I have a house and people who love me and I'm in college, not at war. My life should be perfect (and I know that compared to many people's lives, it would be).
PENGYI HUA
All of us here at the University of Kansas
should have a form of a perfect life, but for what
reason or reasons — sometimes we don't.
I was thinking about all of this as I walked the hundreds of stairs toward the journalism building in the rain. I was thinking that, on a day such as today, the sexiest, most wonderful thing in the world would be for somebody — anybody — to give me a break, take pity on me and do something that isn't rainy, mean or bleak. (That's for you, the person in the BMW who cut me off, or the person at the store or even my own mirror.)
And, although I might be half-naked in the Kansan, or a little more comfortable with sex or a black hole in the middle of our society, I am, afterall, just a person like every other person on this campus.
And I'm sure, especially in this rainy, nasty holiday season crammed with family, finals and gift buying, everybody could use a nice unexpected mental orgasm of happiness.
Ahhh. Give it a try. It's the sexiest thing possible. Next to an umbrella, a large malt beverage and a ski-lift for the 14th Street hill.

Let's hope that Harry Potter never sets foot on Middle Earth, the stomping ground for characters in Fellowship of the Ring, the first installment in the long-awaited Lord of the Rings trilogy, opening in theaters just in time for the holidays.
Dare to enter 'Fellowship of the Ring'
The lovable wizard-in-training wouldn't last two minutes among the hideous creatures and monsters that inhabit Middle Earth, not to mention the unspeakably treacherous terrain.
Fellowship of the Ring is the second film this holiday season based on a novel about wizards. Unlike Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, wizards in Fellowship of the Ring are just one of many creatures that inhabit Middle Earth.
Fellowship of the Ring is bigger, darker and scarier than the Sorcerer's Stone. Unfortunately, it's also longer, with a running time just under three hours. Keeping the characters in order also becomes difficult at times.
But these two minor flaws pale in comparison to the level of excitement and intrigue that Fellowship of the Ring presents. People who relish epic adventures shouldn't miss this one.
It starts out by giving us a brief history of the ring, which we are told embodies everything that is powerful and evil in the world. Evil men seek the ring because it unlocks power unrivaled by anyone or anything else. And noble men seek the ring to destroy it, but wind up succumbing to the desire for absolute power.
Commentary
A Fellowship of the Ring is formed, with the objective of destroying the power-filled ring once and for all, a near-impossible task since the ring can only be destroyed at the place it was created — the fiery pits of Mordar. Nonetheless, each member of the fellowship vows to risk his life to save the world from evil.

Movie Reviewer

PETER
Fellowship of the Ring is overwhelming at times, especially if, like me, you've never read any of J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Ring novels. But the characters are interesting. I especially liked Gimli, a dwarf with a big heart and a lot of pride. And Strider the ranger who shows up at just the right
time to save Frodo from certain death.
The set pieces are nothing short of spectacular, creating a world filled with both immense beauty and eerie darkness. Depending on where you're at, Middle Earth can be very jovial or very scary.
The fight scenes are very well done and maintain a high level of intensity. Most battles involve the usual array of weapons, such as swords and bows. But one battle between two wizards is unlike anything I've seen in a movie.
Kudos to director Peter Jackson for tackling a story of such magnitude and making a movie that's both fun and easy to watch. With so many characters and such a complicated plot, *Fellowship of the Ring* could have been a real mess. But it lives up to the hype and offers audiences a healthy dose of adventure. Those who dare to take the journey won't be disappointed.

Fellowship of the Ring
★★★
Great movie of the week: Ocean's 11. It joins Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and Fallowship of the Ring as the third must-see movie of the holiday season. Acclaimed director Steven Soderbergh uses a terrific ensemble cast to create a super-slick movie that's big on style. Unlike Soderbergh's last effort, Traffic, there's nothing profoundly earth-shattering about Ocean's 11. It leans on the chemistry of its actors, and it works because George Clooney, Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt all deliver dynamite performances.
Bad movie of the week: Homeward Bound II. Lost in San Francisco. The original Homeward Bound was a wildly entertaining film that followed three lovable animals on a remarkable quest to find their home. The animal's second journey seems all too contrived and falls considerably short of its predecessor in terms of excitement. A movie about three furry animals trying to find their home should be heartwarming, fluffy fun. Homeward Bound II just isn't.

The Academy, which will be at 745 New Hampshire St., will provide instruction in a variety of American musical styles by offering courses on the bluegrass mandolin, the banjo and even the harmonica.
SPONSORED BY OAKS NONTRADITIONAL STUDENTS
Music academy to open in Lawrence
By Donovan Atkinson Jayplay writer
When Thom Alexander first thought about opening a nonprofit music school in Lawrence, he thought the community would not be very supportive.
"I thought the response would be pretty marginal," said Alexander, Lawrence resident. "But the community has given us so much positive feedback."
Classes will be taught in a lowkey group environment, and private lessons also will be offered.
On Jan. 13, Alexander, with the support of the Lawrence music community, will be opening the Americana Music Academy.
Alexander, who has a Masters degree in education and will be
teaching a guitar class, has been able to bring in 15 respected artists from the area music scene to help him with the Academy's music lessons.
Some of the talented musicians who will be on hand to instruct classes will be jazz musician Tommy Johnson, who has performed with jazz greats from Cab Calloway to Dizzie Gillespie; Bob Faris, who has played fiddle for Reba McEntire's appearances on Hee Haw and The Grand Ole Opry; and Tom Johnson, a music producer and engineer who has studied with Nathan Berg.
Alexander said Lawrence was a haven for talented musicians.
"Lawrence has always had a really good music scene," Alexander said. "It's a really, really good magnet for musicians."
Alexander said that he and the instructors who will teach at the Academy also were concerned with passing on the American musical tradition to students, not simply the technical ability to play.
"Going back to the roots is a valuable thing," he said. "Any time there's a chance of creating anything new in music, you have to learn from the old."
In addition to the regular classes, the academy also will offer special music therapy sessions.
Music therapy is the use of music and music techniques to assist a person with reaching non-musical goals.
Alexander said he had seen the positive effects of music therapy on his own son, who has a handicap.
Such therapy can be beneficial to anyone, but particularly those with special mental health needs, learning disabilities or substance abuse problems.
"My son went from not communicative to being very communicative for his handicap in the last four or five years." Alexander said. "The music therapy sessions could take on a life of their own."
Alexander said that a school
such as the Americana Academy had never existed in Lawrence, or in the state of Kansas.
When looking into the idea of opening a non-profit music school, Alexander said he talked with members of the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago for ideas.
In the future, Alexander said he would like to move beyond instrument instruction and music therapy and add classes on music history to the Academy.
Alexander said he also would like to see the school earn some form of accreditation, which would allow the Academy to offer low-level university courses in music.
For more information regarding the Americana Music Academy, call 850-9640.
Course catalogs are currently available and class sign up will continue through the first week of classes.

'Mine and yours'a songwriting smash
By Clay McCuistion Jayplay writer
David Mead isn't a Backstreet Boy. He's not a member of Limp Bizkit. He's not a joint-inhaling rapper. David Mead is an insanely intelligent, insanely gifted singer and songwriter. He sounds like nothing else I've heard from a major record label in 2001.
And that's the surprising thing. He wraps together melodic and lyrical tricks from Elvis Costello, the Beatles and prerock songwriters such as George Gershwin and Cole Porter. But pithy reviewers' lines don't do justice to these silkily melodic, tightly crafted songs.
On one hand, Mead doesn't fit any context. I can't imagine any radio station that would play songs as concise
Mead has created a music that stands out of and is part of the current scene.
and adult as "You and I" or "Figure of Eight." On the other hand, his combination of influences — from the rock and classic pop worlds — couldn't have been mixed at any time but the present.
Mead also sings with restrained passion. That's just as much of a rarity in these Celine Dion days as his spot-on songwriting.
His sultry falsetto caresses songs from the opening, a grooving "Flamin" Angel," to the close, an elegiac "Only In the Movies." Like Rufus Wainwright (whose summer release, *Poses*, was also criminally overlooked), Mead carves out a uniquely personal yet forcefully tastful artistic position.
He's not only found his niche, he's constructed that niche by hand. Let's hope he never leaves that spot.

Broadband can help make 2002 a better year
This has been a hard year for the American economy. Just within the telecommunications industry, more than 265,000 workers have lost their jobs since January, and telecom capital spending has dropped 15% this year.
Brett Sayre
That spending reduction is dramatically slowing the deployment of broadband high-speed Internet access. And the lack of broadband connections is hurting the tech industry.
CHEVROLET
But there is a way Congress can help revive the tech economy — while guaranteeing high-speed Internet access for almost 850,000 more Kansans.
H. R.1542, the Internet Freedom and Broadband Deployment Act, will spur major telecommunications companies to invest billions of dollars in the rapid rollout of broadband. For our state, that will mean broadband becomes available to 62 percent more Kansans — in rural regions as well as in urban areas. It will also guarantee broadband availability for almost 21,000 more businesses, 540 schools, 113 libraries, 100 hospitals, and more than 1,000 medical clinics and doctors' offices throughout the state.
Additionally, H.R. 1542 will create more equality within the rules governing broadband competitors. And fair regulation fosters real competition which means better prices, more options and new technologies for Kansas consumers like you.
More broadband, a better economy and real competition. With the Internet Freedom and Broadband Deployment Act, next year can be better.

Helio Sequence soothes weary ears with new CD
By Andy Gassaway Jayplay writer
Everyone remembers the Huey Lewis and the News anthem, "The Heart of Rock and Rock is in Cleveland." But until the release of The Helio Sequence's Young Effectuals, their second full-length release on Cavity Search Records, Huey's words never rang so true.
Confining themselves in the music store where they work part-time, Brandon Summers (guitar, vocals) and Benjamin Weikel (drums, keyboards) wrote and produced what is quite possibly the ultimate headphone album of 2001.
tinged synthesizers, stutter-step drumming and echoing guitar riffs that sound like they're being transmitted from the surface of the moon.
Spawned of the effects-laden pop experimentation of John Lennon's "Tomorrow Never Knows" and the mind-altering atmospheres of "My Bloody Valentine's Loveless," the sound of The Helio Sequence is overwhelming, yet strangely soothing.
Every second of this record attacks the listener from all directions with bubbling, opium-
First and foremost, however, Young Effectuals is a pop record, carrying melodies that are instantly likable and percussive grooves that ebb and flow right into the listener's cortex.
The overall feel of the album has an electronic dance aftertaste, but the traditional rock elements of live drums and guitars gives it heart. Every blip and beep on the record sounds like it was crafted with tender loving care, and Weilkel's drums are more conducive to booty-shakin' than any programmed drum loop.
Summers' voice, perfectly suited for the band's young upstart aplomb, is a frantic blend of John Lennon and Johnny Rotten, leaning farther toward whichever persona happens to best fit the tune. " (Square) Bubbles" finds Summers belting out snotty shouts of defiance, while
"Give, Give, Give" sounds like the kind of gentle lullaby Mr. Spock probably heard as an infant.
Young Effectuals invites the more adventurous listener into its own private world with enough pop appeal to fall pleasingly on any ear, but enough lush experimentation to keep most of the music-buying community from venturing too deeply into its universe.
Though The Helio Sequence may never appeal to the masses, the do-it-yourself method with which Young Effectuals was produced suggests that Summers and Weikel could live comfortably on the production side of the music business for years to come.
Thom Yorke would be wise to begin schmoozing with these lads as soon as possible in anticipation of his solo career, just in case Radiohead is ever reduced to playing boat shows and birthday bashes for rock-radio DJs.

FloJo's life provides inspiration for Alvin Ailey dance company
Associated Press
NEW YORK — When Judith Jamison was asked to choreograph a work about Florence Griffith Joyner, she tried to learn as much as she could about the late Olympic track star who was known as much for her flashy style as for her athleticism.
But Jamison, artistic director of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, quickly decided that she could never really understand the woman nicknamed "FloJo" well enough to put together a biographical piece.
Instead, "Here ... Now" is an abstract work, inspired by Griffith Joyner's glamour, dedication and talent while also exploring the similarities between dancers and athletes.
"What we have most in common is the joy of what we do. We get through the pain to get to the joy," Jamison said. "For the athlete, the joy is winning the gold, being the fastest. For the dancer, it is being the best — being so accomplished you are at the top of your craft."
FloJo burst on the track-andfield scene with wildly painted long fingernails, flowing hair and
colorful, often one-legged, body suits. She won a silver medal in the 200-meter dash at the 1984 Olympics and gold medals at the 1988 Olympics in the 100, 200 and the 400 relay. She died in 1998 at the age of 38 after suffering an epileptic seizure.
"Here ... Now" was commissioned by the 2002 Olympic Arts Festival and was first performed by the Ailey company Dec. 7. It will be performed in repertory through Dec. 31 during the company's season at City Center.
It will also be danced during the company's 21-city tour and during the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics as part of the Olympic Arts Festival.
Jamison's musical collaborator on the piece was trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, winner of nine Grammy awards and the only jazz composer to win the Pulitzer. They also worked together in 1996 on "Sweet Release."
"I see dance immediately when I hear his music," Jamison said. "It has a sense of dance within. And on top of everything else, he is very easy to work with."
"Here ... Now" is a piece chore.
ographed for three male and three female dancers. With a curving ramp as their only prop, the dancers flow through five thematic sections — strength, style, speed, pain and heaven — meant to represent the aspects of an athlete's life.
Their costumes, from tights with two bright stripes running down the side to a flirty orange skirt over a body suit, resemble track wear. And their movements are those of athletes: a fist raised triumphantly in the air; an exaggerated attitude, with the leg bent high behind the back like a runner in motion.
In one section, Linda-Denise Fisher-Harrell — who resembles FloJo with her long hair and diamond earrings — slowly turns in a circle on one leg, supported by a male dancer holding her toe and her bent elbow, in the pose of an athlete in midair. Yet it is also a stunning piece of dance that demands skill, grace and control.
"Dancers and athletes share the idea of beauty," Jamison said. "It's just that they're after winning that race, and we're after winning over the audience."
Wanted man survives being run over by train
DALTON, Ga. — A freight train passed over a man lying on the railroad tracks, but he emerged with only a few scrapes, authorities said.
Lewis Greeson, 50, was lying between the rails about 1 p.m. Tuesday, police spokesman Chris Crossen said. The engineer braked after spotting him, but the train traveled several hundred yards before coming to a stop.
After several minutes of searching for a body, authorities found Greeson under a freight car.
"It looks like the train just went right over him and just caught him a little bit going by," Crossen said. He said Greeson appeared to be intoxicated.
Greeens may seem like a very lucky man, but his luck ran out when a computer search turned up an outstanding warrant for his arrest. He will be taken into custody when he is released from the hospital, Crossen said.
ODDITIES
'Peeping Tom' accused for third time this year
TAMPA, Fla. — A man on probation for looking up women's skirts with a tiny video camera hidden in his shoe has used the device to peep at women at his probation office, a state attorney said.
Daniel W. Searfoss, 43, was charged Tuesday with stalking and voyeurism, a first-degree
Searfoss was arrested in January for using a video camera in his shoe to look up women's skirts at a Wal-Mart. His sentence of 12 months probation was terminated in September.
Last month he was arrested again on voyeurism charges after police said he had filmed women at Peddlers Mall Flea Market in Brandon, Fla., 10 miles east of Tampa.
Investigators are reviewing about 45 videotapes, some four hours long, that they seized from Searfoss.
misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail.
Searfoss, a mechanic from Dover, Del., is accused of using a camera in his shoe to peep at more than a dozen women at his church.
"Your honor, it's worse than that," Assistant State Attorney Dean Tsourakis told a judge Tuesday. "He was doing it at the probation office. For instance, the cashier at the probation office."
Prison to deny coffee to inmates at mealtimes
Youmans said that while the
prison would not pay for prisoners to drink coffee, he would allow inmates to purchase it at the commissary, which opens one day a week.
WELLSBORO, Penn. — Inmates at a central Pennsylvania prison will no longer have the chance to drink coffee with meals, the institution's warden said.
Coffee has no nutritional value and is not worth the money, the Tioga County Prison warden, Ralph Youmans, told the prison board Tuesday.
It was unclear whether he would limit corrections officers' coffee consumption while on the job.
Eliminating coffee would save the prison an estimated $2,500 a year, compared with $250,000 in expected gross revenue this year, Youmans said.
New car may 'clean up' automotive industry
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Chrysler has given a whole new meaning to the concept of clean- running cars.
The company has taken the wraps off a version of its Town and Country van that runs on a chemical cousin of laundry soap
"It's encouraging news," said Jason Mark, transportation analyst with the Union of Concerned Scientists.
Borax is the key ingredient of the fuel that powers the so-called Natrium. An on-board chemical fuel cell converts borax to electric power that runs the van.
But it could be a while before you fill 'er up with soap. The engineers say there are quite a few technical problems to work out before a borax car is ready for the showroom.
The concept vehicle was unveiled yesterday at a meeting of the Electric Vehicle Association in Sacramento, Calif.

The End?
Open your eyes to 'Vanilla Sky'
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — In Hollywood, where the main language is money, studios often turn to remakes of foreign films to make a buck.
The long history of such adaptations includes successes such as The Magnificent Seven and A Fistful of Dollars — and a parade of losers such as Point of No Return and this year's Just Visiting.
The road is littered with English-language adaptations that flopped, said director Cameron Crowe, who nevertheless attempted one of his own: Vanilla Sky, which opens tomorrow and is based on Alejandro Amenabar's Spanish-language Open Your Eyes.
Some foreign-language remakes do not translate well because the original was too rooted in its home culture. Some fail because Hollywood weakens
their charm by loading them with studio conventions, such as explosions or car chases. Some are simply badly made.
Ultimately, the fate of a foreign-language remake depends on the same balance that makes or breaks any film adaptation: remaining faithful to the spirit of the original while transferring it to Hollywood's often grander scale.
Vanilla Sky, starring Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz and Penelope Cruz — reprising her role from Open Your Eyes — follows the original film's plot, in which a privileged young man falls into delusional alternate realities after a disfiguring car wreck. But Crowe turns Vanilla Sky into a wild survey of pop culture and music.
Crowe fleshes out some characters and dialogue and laces the
film with humor. He even got permission to shut down Times Square for a pivotal scene in which Cruise races alone through the abandoned streets.
Cruise, who starred in Crowe's Jerry Maguire, picked up the remake rights for Open Your Eyes and brought the project to Crowe, whose previous films were founded on his own original screenplays. Crowe said he had never considered a foreign-language remake, and had the original been steeped in Spanish culture, he probably would not have touched it.
"But this one was different because it's so open-ended," Crowe said.
And with Cruise's box-office luster, Vanilla Sky stands a decent chance of joining the list of commercially successful foreign-language adaptations.

ENTERTAINMENT
'90s band leaves out bubble gum
By Mandalee Meisner Jayplay writer
The problem with boy bands is that they always grow up.
Bryan Abrams of Color Me Badd,
however, doesn't think that's neces-
sarily a negative thing.
"Our music's definitely changed," he said in an interview from Oklahoma City, where all of the original Color Me Badd members are from. "It's a lot more live, and not as bubble gum."
With more emphasis on guitar and bass — and with a DJ added to the crew—Abrams said the band is "definitely moving in the direction of Usher, R. Kelley and Ginuwine," although Color Me Badd still performs its pop hits from the early '90s.
Abrams said that when the band sings and dances tomorrow at Abe and Jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth St., people are guaranteed to be "shocked" at the new material — although hopefully pleasantly so.
"This will be one of the first shows we've done in a while, and we're really excited about trying out our new stuff." Abrams said.
The show starts at 10:30 tomorrow night.
Color Me Badd exploded onto the pop scene in 1991 after its hit single, "I Wanna Sex You Up," was featured on the soundtrack of the movie New Jack City.
The R&B pop quartet consisting of Abrams, Mark Calderon, Sam Watters and Kevin Thornton continued to pump out hit songs such as "All 4 Love" and "I Adore Mi Amor" into the mid '90s.
The group released Now and Forever in 1996 and Awakening in 1998, and both proved to be commercial failures.
Watters and Thornton both left the band to pursue other interests.
Now, the group's sound is evolving becoming more instrument driven and with the addition of new band members such as Ernie Calderon, brother of Mark Calderon, Abrams hopes to finalize a deal with a major record label by the end of this year.
"By this time next year, we'll have a record out," he said.
Abrams compares the evolution of the band's musical sensibilities with rap trio the Beastie Boys.
"They started out just rapping behind somebody else's beat, but then ended up making their own music," he said. "We're doing the same thing now — we're doing our own stuff."

Arts help inform about, escape tragedy
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The poems are tapeed to church gates just outside ground zero. They are calling out to remind us, like a pleading chorus. "We must remember/so we can change" reads one couplet, typed out on plain white paper.
But at a nearby music store on a recent morning, Ian Joseph checks out a Julio Iglesias CD and tries to forget.
"Before Sept. 11, I liked hard-core music: reggae, R&B," says Joseph, 34, a technician who works at the rubble of what was once the World Trade Center. "But lately, I've been listening to slower music, classical musical. I want to relax."
In 2001, the arts proved a home for people both to confront the news and to escape.
Television especially reflected the split between learning and avoiding. Ratings were up for Nightline and other news shows since Sept. 11, but viewers also favored the fare they've spent years watching, like Friends and ER.
"There's evidence that people are watching TV together as a family, instead of going to their separate rooms," said David Poltrack, chief researcher for CBS.
Theater attendance slowed, dipping slightly from last year, but some shows continued to do well. Prime seats to The Producers, Broadway's hottest show, sold for as high as $480 as the musical's backers attempted to chase off scalpers.
But there was room, too, for
current events. The most anticipated play by year's end was Tony Kushner's Homebody/Kabul, an off-Broadway production about Afghanistan written well before Sept. 11.
"Meaning can be extracted from even the worst calamities," said Kushner, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Angels in America.
Publishing was the most turned-upside-down industry, as readers sought to learn about once-obscure subjects such as the Taliban and anthrax. Many titles were published by small companies such as Rutgers University Press, which found itself with a sudden best seller, Twin Towers, and then struggled to keep up with demand.
Mainstream publishers suf
fered the slowest fall in recent memory. Adults seemed uninterested in big commercial novels, with new fiction from such authors as Anne Rice and Stephen King selling well below expectations.
In music, the latest Creed and Britney Spears records coexisted on the charts with God Bless America, an album featuring Celine Dion's popular rendition of the song.
Americans also turned to soothing music such as A Day Without Rain, a year-old album by New Age singer Enya. The album quickly climbed the charts based on renewed interest in her single "Only Time."
The movie industry sought a balance between the real and the unreal. The fantasies Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
and The Lord of the Rings beginning trilogy were major holiday releases, but at the same time, 20th Century Fox accelerated the opening of Behind Enemy Lines, about a jet pilot stranded in hostile territory. Sony Pictures moved up the release of Black Hawk Down, about a 1993 battle between U.S. soldiers and Somali warlords that left 18 Americans dead.
Hollywood initially avoided any close reminders of Sept. 11, postponing Arnold Schwarzenegger's Collateral Damage, a terrorist thriller that had been scheduled to come out in the fall.
But enough time has apparently passed, so Warner Bros. now plans to release the film Feb.8.
Questions raised about reporters carrying guns
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — From his perch near Tora Bora, Afghanistan, Fox News Channel correspondent Geraldo Rivera seemed more agitated by a question about carrying a gun than by the mortar rounds that just exploded nearby.
"I refuse to address that issue," said Rivera, speaking into a satellite phone. "It's been blown way out of proportion. It makes me sound like a tabloid talk show host goes to war. It's so unfair."
Yet Rivera's decision to bring a gun into a war zone where eight journalists have been
killed has raised questions about whether it's a proper—or wise — thing for a reporter to do.
Many reporters say that carrying a gun is risky because soldiers would be less likely to believe a claim that someone is a journalist, making him or her a potential target.
"If the word gets out that a journalist is carrying a gun, it makes it difficult for everyone," said Peter Arnett, a former war correspondent for The Associated Press and CNN.
Rivera, speaking on Fox News Channel last week, said that "if they're going to get us,
it's going to be in a gunfight." But when asked specifically by an anchor whether he had a gun, he was reluctant to talk about it, finally nodding yes.
He's traveling with two guards who have five guns between them, Fox spokesman Robert Zimmerman said. Rivera isn't necessarily carrying agun in most situations, but has one readily available, he said.
"There are eight journalists already dead," he said. "I almost got killed last Thursday and, believe me, it wasn't because of a story in the New York Post that I was carrying a gun. This is a very dangerous
place.
"That makes me feel ill, that suddenly it's become an issue that I'm putting journalists at risk," he said. "That's complete bull."
NBC forbids its correspondents from carrying firearms. ABC won't discuss its security arrangements. CBS and CNN said none of their personnel carries weapons, but it isn't a formal policy.
Even if the journalists themselves are not armed, many news organizations — including The Associated Press — have hired armed guards for their personnel in particularly
dangerous areas of Afghanistan. Expensive news equipment is considered tempting to thieves.
Rivera and Fox News Channel have both been outspoken in support of the U.S. wareffort.
Rivera, who left his CNBC talk show because he wanted to cover the war, has talked about killing Osama bin Laden if he had the opportunity.
"I haven't had a shower in two weeks and I have to defend whether I'm carrying a six-shooter?" he said. "It's just ridiculous."
He's less willing to talk about his own personal security.
Caroline Kennedy publishes mother's poems
Associated Press Writer
NEW YORK — Forget that big museum show about her clothes. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassi's real legacy was words.
"She really did believe in the power of words," Kennedy told 120 listeners, many of them junior high and high school students, at the Countee Cullen
So said Onassis' daughter, Caroline Kennedy, during a reading yesterday from her new book, The Best-Loved Poems of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
Regional Library in Harlem.
Although Onassis worked as an editor at Viking Press and later at Doubleday, Kennedy said most people think of her mother primarily as a style icon.
"When many people think of her, they think of her style and her image," she said. "But those are just the starting point for me. So I really wanted to share with people, now that she's become a part of history, some of the things that I know were what really made her special."
The book, published by
Hyperion, is a selection of Onassis' favorite poems, edited and introduced by her daughter.
Kennedy read some of them yesterday, including part of Robert Frost's "The Gift Outright," which the poet read at her father's inauguration. It begins, "The land was ours before we were the land's. She was our land more than a hundred years before we were her people."
She also read from Langston Hughes “Let America Be
America," in which Hughes rails against injustice and declares, "O. yes, I say it plain, America never was America to me, And yet I swear this oath — America will be!"
Kennedy said Countee Cullen, the Harlem Renaissance poet for whom the library branch is named, had been among her mother's favorites, and she read two of his poems.
She said her grandmother, Rose Kennedy, was the most patriotic person she ever knew and loved Henry Longfellow's
"Paul Revere's Ride."
"When I was a child she was so old that I thought maybe she had even seen Paul Revere," Kennedy said.
Kennedy said poetry was an important part of her family's life when she was growing up.
"For each holiday or birthday John and I would have to pick out a poem that we liked for my mother," she said. "She pasted them all into a special scrapbook which I still have and which my own children like looking at now."
