Lawrence official says By Lauren Beatty Kansan staff writer Landlords in single-family residential zoning districts of Lawrence may find themselves in hot water if they don't register their properties with the Neighborhood Resources Department's Rental Licensing and Inspection Program by Friday. Feb. 1. In accordance with city ordinance 7326, all owners of rental property in single-family zoning districts are required to maintain a valid rental license with the Licensing and Inspection Program, which enforces minimum standards for basic equipment and facilities Single-family residential zoning districts are areas where there are no apartment complexes or duplexes. "The purpose of the ordinance is to maintain the integrity of the neighborhoods," said Barry Walthall, the neighborhood Resources Department's code enforcement manager. "That benefits the tenants because they know they're living in safe conditions." But Walhall said he thought more than 1,000 properties still needed to be inspected. If the property owners don't comply with the regulations, they could face a hefty fine. The fee for the rental license is $25 per dwelling. The rental licenses are valid for a one-year period. The fine for not registering on time is between $250 and $1,000. A property inspection is conducted every three years. Walthall said he looked at both the exterior and interior of the dwellings during an inspection. "We make sure the windows are all intact, all the railings, if there's a deck, we make sure it's not falling apart — general safe conditions." he said. Walthall said he checked everything in the interior of the house, including heating systems, walls, smoke detectors and stair; to make sure they were up to code. Bob Ebey, spokesman for Landlords of Lawrence, said his properties were not in the single-family residential zoning districts and therefore not inspected, but he had been involved with the licensing process since the beginning. "I talked to some other tenants and they are sort of happy about the inspections," he said. "They don't think it's an invasion of privacy." Patrick Keating, Gainesville, Fla., junior, lives in a house in the zoning district in East Lawrence. He said he thought his house was up to par and wasn't worried about it not meeting the housing codes. Mike Wildgen, city manager, said the program benefited everyone in Lawrence, including the students who rented properties located in single-family residential zoning districts. Wildgen said about 75 to 80 people had already signed up for inspections in order to meet the deadline. "We've got the inspectors ready," he said. "It's a good program, it just takes a while to mature. It's not about big brother, it's about public safety." Contact Beauty at ibathy@kansan.com. This story was edited by Jeremy Clarkson.

The policy change affects McCollom, Hashinger, Oliver and Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin halls, Jayhawker Towers, Stouffer Place and Sunflower Apartments. The University's scholarship halls banned smoking almost 20 years ago, and three residence halls — Templein, Ellsworth and Lewis — are already smoke free. Naismith Hall, which is privately owned, also has a nosmoking policy. Ken Stoner, director of student housing, announced Jan. 9 that all student housing facilities would be non-smoking next fall. In November the Department of Student Housing announced it might make all residence halls nonsmoking for next year.

Tuition hikes still debated By Meredith Carr Kansan staff writer Students have one more month to help determine a future tuition increase at the University of Kansas. Chancellor Robert Memenway, Provost David Shulenbur, Student Body President Justin Mills and a handful of students met with the Board of Regents yesterday to update the Regents on KU's vision for the future and the University's tuition-increase proposals for reaching that vision. proposals. The administrators presented three tuition-increase scenarios under consideration. At the request of Mills, the Regents granted the administrators more time to discuss the scenarios with students. KU is scheduled to present its preferred scenario to the Regents next month. The first chance for students to discuss the tuition increase will be at 7 p.m. next Tuesday in Hashinger Hall. Last October, administrators created three scenarios to increase tuition beginning in Fall 2002. The increase is being proposed to increase the budget for the University. "The focus has to be on how to make a better university." Hemenway said. "We've been holding a major university together with Band-Aids and chewing gum." He said he wanted KU to be a top-25 university within the next eight to 18 years and the tuition increase would help ensure this goal. The tuition increase would provide an increase in student financial aid, teaching assistant wages, research assistant stipends, and staff wages and benefits, according to the document presented to the Regents. Mills said he was unhappy about the way administrators had informed students of the proposed increase. "It is my opinion that KU has done an embarrassingly poor job of informing students on an issue that dramatically affects them, future students, and the future of the University." Mills said. Shulenburger said students were confused about why the University's tuition figures were based on comparisons with the universities of Oregon, North Carolina, Colorado, Oklahoma and Iowa. He said these schools were considered KU's peer institutions based on similarities between the schools. "We don't necessarily compete with North Carolina and Oregon for students, but we do compete within the Big 12 for students, and students are going to go to a university that has adequate funding for programs." Shulenburger said. Contact Carr at mcarrt1@kansan.com. This story was edited by Eve Lemon.

KU student found dead in Lawrence apartment By Rachel Keeseee Kansan staff writer A 20-year-old University of Kansas A 20-year student, Christine Merkel, was found dead in a Lawrence apartment on Jan. 1. No suspicious circumstances surround the Foristell, Mo., sophomore's death, said Lawrence police Sgt. Michael Patrick. Lauren Salvini, Lawrence sophomore, said Christine had loved life. P. Christine Merkel "She had a contagious laugh, I can't even describe it," Salvini said. "The minute she started laughing, everyone in the room would start laughing." Salvini said she sang the Sarah McLachlan song"I Will Remember You" for Christine's funeral. "She always wanted me to sing at her wedding, which I couldn't do," Salvini said. "So I sang it for her funeral." But she had a hard time trying to sing it live for the funeral, she said. "The song was kind of a joke with her, and she often wanted me to sing it," Salvini said. "She called me Sarah McLachlan." Caroline Merkel, Christine's mother, said that her daughter cared about others. Mrs. Merkel said that the hundreds of people who went to her visitation showed what kind of person her daughter was. "As pretty as she was on the outside, she was on the inside," she said. "She did everything she could to make others happy." "Where do I begin? Christine was a sweetheart, very kind," she said. "She loved animals, she loved children and she went the extra mile for everyone." Contact Keesee at rkeesee@kansan.com. This story was edited by Justin Guenley. State Senate to evaluate eligibility for social programs TOPEKA — Two Republican leaders plan to have the Senate Ways and Means Committee review eligibility for social services programs. STATE NEWS Chairman Steve Morris said Wednesday that he wanted to examine the eligibility requirements for programs operated by the departments of Aging and Social and Rehabilitation Services. Those costs contributed to a $426 million gap between expected revenues and spending commitments for the state's 2003 fiscal year, which begins July 1. The state is faced with adding nearly $120 million dollars to its budget to cover unexpected costs associated with social services programs. Morris, R-Hugoton, said he wanted to see whether the state could control social service costs. His efforts have the blessing of Senate President Dave Kerr, R Hutchinson, who serves on the committee. The committee had a briefing from SRS Secretary Janet Schalansky and Aging Secretary Connie Hubbell.

These students participated in the University's Alternative Winter Break, a Center for Community Outreach program in its third year. This program featured 10 sites. "It's a chance for people to get out of Lawrence, to help out," said Annie McBride, Omaha, Neb., senior and co-coordinator of the program. Students paid a $180 fee to cover transportation, housing and meals. Besides the fee, students needed to enroll in Liberal Arts and Sciences 492/792: Special Projects in the Community, for up to three credit hours. The class was designed to make volunteers familiar with their site and group. Each student writes a research paper about his or her site. "The paper forces you to learn about your site and their goals, so you know all about it before you get there," said Kimber Alexander, Wichita sophomore who took the class. The University also offers Alternative Breaks during spring break and on some weekends. McBride said more students volunteered during winter break than spring break. "People have more of a break between classes during winter break," she said. McBride said an average of six students traveled to each site. "Over half of the sites are a 20-to 24-hour drive," she said. Jessica Sullivan, Wichita senior, worked in Atlanta at Project Open Hand.

Contact Hill at Mother asks for reward money University should donate to help solve murder, she says By Rachel Keesee Kansan staff writer The mother of a KU student who was murdered last May in Costa Rica has asked the University of Kansas to offer a $50,000 reward for evidence leading to the arrest and conviction of people involved. "The University of Kansas, on behalf of my daughter, should do everything possible to see the assailants arrested and convicted." Jeanette Stauffer said. Her daughter, Shannon Martin, was murdered on May 13,2001, while doing fieldwork on tropical ferns in Golfoft, Costa Rica. She was studying evolutionary biology, biodiversity and ecology. Martin was one week away from graduating and planned to return to Lawrence for commencement. Shannon Martin Stauffer posted a $10,000 reward but said that wasn't enough to compel informants to come forward if they thought providing information might put their lives at risk. Although a Costa Rican woman, Katia Vanesa Cruz Murillo, was arrested in November, Stauffer said she had been told by the FBI that there were other assailants. "If no reward is posted, the assailants will go free," she said. Lynn Bretz, interim director of University Relations, said she had talked with Stauffer on Jan. 5. "We're very sympathetic to the situation that Shannon's family is in," Bretz said. "We've been talking with the family since the incident occurred. We're waiting to hear officially what the charges are to the woman who was arrested." A spokeswoman for the U.S. Embassy in Costa Rica said no official charges had been made, but in Costa Rica, suspects could GOLFITO, COSTA RICA NICARAGUA Caribbean Sea COSTA RICA GOLFITO N PANAMA Pacific Ocean Kyle Ramsey KANSAN be detained for an indefinite period while a case was built against them.

"A year from now the building could still be vacant." Schumm, however, is optimistic that buying the lot was a good idea. "I think the market is strong enough to support new businesses," he said. "The location is A-plus being downtown." Even though he does not have a tenant, Schumm said he knew what kind of business he didn't want. The sign in the window of his building says "No restaurants or bars." "The market is saturated," Schumm said. "I think it would be a poor tenant to open up a restaurant or a bar. The chance for success would be minimal." A clothing or furniture store is more what Schumm has in mind for his 7,629-square-foot building, he said. Someone in the same position as Schumm, but taking a different approach. is Dale Miller. Miller owns the lots at 707,709 and 711 Massachusetts St. He said he did not plan on breaking ground until there was at least one tenant in place. Miller plans to build a 24,000-squarefoot building with four levels and would like to have a tenant for the fourth floor as well before the building is built. Miller and Schumm said the historical significance of their sites had presented hurdles for their development. Schumm said he had to get approval from the Historical Resources Commission on tearing down the building and on his new design. The building was eventually approved on a 5-2 vote. Schumm said that when dealing with historical sites, a builder had to submit plans to the commission. Dennis Enslinger, head of the commission, said Miller's property was significant because of its location next to The Eldridge Hotel. 701 Massachusetts St. "There's a state law that requires anything within 500 feet of a building listed on the National Register to go through design review," Enslinger said.

I am still recovering from 'new years...' KEVIN GRITZKE/KANSAN EDITORIAL Student housing right to prohibit smoking in halls Department of Student Housing officials made a smart decision earlier this month to ban smoking in all residence halls beginning in the fall. No one is asking students to quit smoking if they want to live in on-campus housing, but it makes sense to ask them to take their cigarettes outside. Second-hand smoke is at best obnoxious for non-smokers and at worst deadly. The no-smoking policy should also reduce fire hazards in the hall. If candles have been prohibited in campus housing, why not cigarettes and all other burning substances? If nothing else, the policy provides consistency across student housing. Three residence halls and all 10 scholarship halls already prohibit smoking, and it made sense for the department to change its policy early enough for students to be informed before they sign housing contracts for the fall. But the devil is always in the details. The department has said it would treat smoking violations like other infractions in student housing. The department must be careful in how it enforces the new policy. There's already a policy prohibiting alcohol in campus housing, but the housing officials should realize that although many residents are not of legal age to drink, almost all of them can buy tobacco products legally. It is not the Department of Student Housing's place to be students' parents. Resident assistants should warn residents who violate the smoking ban, but not enforce a no-tolerance policy. policy. After all, the punishment for drinking in campus housing isn't even consistent. Depending on the RA or scholarship hall director, penalties can vary from harsh punishments to warnings that couldn't even be considered a slap on the wrist. It would be downright silly for that inconsistency to extend to students caught smoking in the residence halls. Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said that only 7 percent of housing applicants for the 2001-2002 academic year requested to live in a smoking environment, so the new policy won't affect great numbers of students. dents. Smoke-free residence halls should mean healthier living environments for students and fewer roommate conflicts. It's not too much to ask of smokers to brave the weather long enough for a smoke break. It's not fair to non-smokers, after all, to allow smoking in residence halls. Even if people only smoke in their rooms on a residence hall smoking floor, it's possible for second-hand smoke to creep up or down a floor through the ventilation system. If the Housing Department is smart about its new policy, enforces it fairly and consistently and doesn't assume a moral position on student smoking, officials have made the right choice with the new policy. new policy.

And I'm just glad that I've got you to talk to because none of my friends are answering the phone. cry more turned out to be a remarkable Then I came up with a remarkable resolution. I will try to tell the truth more in 2002. Sounds easy right? I challenge any KU student to try and tell the truth for a whole day. It's harder than you think. Forget Ben Affleck. The only person drug addiction is sexy on is Robert Downey Jr. Then again if I got both really trashed and really high do you think I would have a chance with both of them? So my friend was watching the KU-Dklahoma State game, and she was so turned on by how well they were playing she wanted to screw the guy next door, even though she didn't even know him. Dearest Drew, give us the championship and we're down with the NBA. Choke and you've got one more chance. Love, your fans. PERSPECTIVE Telling someone the whole truth and nothing but is not so easy Well, another year has passed and another glorious semester at KU begins. In the last year I've grown wiser and learned many things, but I am still trying to figure lots of things out. As usual I have been racking my brains for a realistic New Year's resolution that could make me a better person. I didn't want anything too strenuous or involved like studying more or losing weight. My 2001 resolution of trying to be a more sensitive person and try more turned out to be a real failure All those little white lies we tell every day get thrown out the window. Imagine the consequences. What would you do without those little white lies we tell everyday? Lines like, "Your hair looks great," "I was so drunk, I don't remember anything," and "Yes, I am 21," all get thrown out the window. I came to this resolution after seeing a friend from high school during winter break. COMMENTARY Of course when she asked us if we liked her hair, we gave her an enthusiastic "Yes!" Immediately after she left, we started making cracks about how bad her hair looked. We couldn't believe that such a beautiful girl had gotten such a bad haircut, but then we realized she went to Mizzou. She came up to a friend and I at a bar and we looked at her for five seconds with no idea who she was. Finally, she said who she was and we were delighted to see her. The reason we couldn't recognize her was because she cut off her long, beautiful blond locks and got a boy cut that looked so awful Sam Donaldson wouldn't even want it on his head. COMMENTARY After that incident, my friend and I wondered why we didn't tell her that her hair looked bad. We have known her for many years and she said herself she didn't like it. This has happened all too much in my life—lying for common courtesy instead of telling the truth When you think about it, lying has as much of a place in the world as oxygen and water. Everyone lies and you for the most part you can't live without it. Lying is a central part of the worlds of advertising, politics and personal relationships. Eric Borja opinion@kansan.com We have become so used to lying that it's accepted and almost expected in society. the world of advertising is based on lies and trickery. Have you ever heard an advertiser say that their product isn't that great but you should buy it anyway? No, because they tell us their product is the biggest, coolest and smartest thing to come around since the lambskin prophylactic. But in the immortal words of Cary Grant in North By Northwest, "In the world of advertising there is no such thing as a lie. There is only expedient exaggeration." In politics, the lying is even worse. George W. Bush and Bill Clinton have blatantly lied to the nation, but no one seemed to care that much. Politics is the one place where honesty is important to me. A candidate shouldn't be afraid to talk about his wild days as a college student or his sordid affairs with multiple women. To me, those things build character and give me someone to whom I can relate. Lying only pulls politicians farther back from the people. back from the people. We have grown so accustomed to lying that we feel liberated when we do tell the truth or speak our mind. It's that feeling when you are mad at a friend or roommate but are too afraid to tell them why. Then, after a week or so of bottling it up, you just let them have it and you feel like a huge weight has been lifted off your shoulders. We want to speak the truth so bad but are to afraid to say it. All those comments in the Free For All are the truth — those little things inside our heads that we want to say so bad but are afraid of the consequences of saying them. Maybe I should change my resolution to lying less instead of telling the truth more. Is there a difference? Who knows, but I just hope I can put out an honest effort.

K₂ 17 --- THURSDAY, JAN. 17, 2002 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN - 5A University demands conflict with religious observances By Maggie Koerth Kansan staff writer Winter break can be a stressful time for students who celebrate Christmas. Traveling, baking and shopping must be balanced with both secular and religious rituals, leaving little time for relaxation. But Asma Rehman thinks these students have it easy. The Kansas City, Mo., junior is Muslim. Ramadan and Eid, two major holidays of her religion, also usually fall in December, but Rehman doesn't get a break from school to celebrate. Instead, she often finds herself juggling school work with family and religious expectations especially this year, when some major celebrations of Ramadan were during finals. "This was the worst Eid I ever spent," Rehman said. "Normally I go home all the time, as much as possible, and I really couldn't do that this year." Rehman said school requirements caused the biggest problem on the Night of Power, when Muslims believe Muhammad received the Quran. Rehman said this night was important and that most Muslims spent the entire night in prayer. "A lot of kids couldn't go this year because they all had finals the next day," she said. Muslim students aren't the only ones whose holidays conflict with school. Andrew Zidel, a Minneapolis, Minn., native who graduated from the University of Kansas in December, said Jewish students also had problems juggling holidays and classes. "For most people it is very important for them to be in services," he said. "They fall right at the beginning of school, so it's something that makes a lot of people, especially freshman, homesick." Zidel said students sometimes didn't know whether school or religious observances should be their highest priority. Daniel Breslauer, professor of religious studies, said KU policy required teachers to reschedule tests or give extensions to students who missed class for religious reasons. However, he said the students were responsible for letting teachers know they would be gone. Usually one to two weeks notice was required. Susan Shafer-Landau, executive director of Hillet, said the campus group, which serves Jewish students, tried to educate students by sending them guidelines about the KU policy in the fall. The guidelines also advised students on planning and getting ahead in their studies so they wouldn't fall behind during the holidays. Contact Koerth at mkoerth@kansan.com.

By Summer Lewis Kansan staff writer Popular sex class moves to spring For the first time in six years, Dennis Dailey, professor of social welfare, is teaching his well-known "Human Sexuality in Everyday Life" class during the spring semester. "I hoped that in my last few years I could teach the undergraduate human sexuality class because the students need this kind of education," Dailey said. Dailey said he would offer the course during the fall and spring semesters for at least the next three semesters to accommodate students who wanted to take the class. Six years ago, Dailey stopped teaching the class during the spring because the School of Social Welfare needed him to teach graduate-level courses, and he was preparing for retirement. He said he was glad to be teaching the class both semesters again. Dailev came to the University of Kansas in 1969 and started teaching sexuality in 1981. After teaching the sex education class to undergraduate and graduate students at KU for 20 years, Dailev will be retiring in one or two. "After a year or two, I might come back every now and there to teach but don't know for sure yet," Dailey said. Dailey has reached out to those wanting to learn about sexuality through a discussion on men's misuse of power in relationships, a radio program about the urge for sex, an intimacy workshop for couples and human sexuality classes. "He opened my horizons," said Trusha Bhatt, Overland Park junior, who took the class last fall. "I was shy before taking his class, but now I feel more comfortable talking about sexuality in my relationships." Bhatt said Dailey used a unique approach that reached his students and helped them to remember his lectures. "He uses his own personal experiences to help students understand the subject." she said. "When you are teaching sexuality, this makes the class very interesting." Ann Weick, dean of social welfare, said that she didn't know if Dailey's position would be filled after he retired because of the tight budget. "Everything is about budget," Weck said. "This year, we are in a serious budget crunch and can't predict the next year or two." At this point, Dailey said this spring's class has reached its maximum enrollment capacity of 500 students. For those students who were unable to enroll in this semester's class, Dailey will teach a non-credit, 10-week course from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Thursdays at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave. The course costs $35 for students and $45 for nonstudents.

After the November announcement, the department waited for input from the Association of University Residence Halls and the Student Housing Advisory Board. Kit Brauer, Denver sophomore and Student Senator for AURH, said the association was divided on the policy. A proposal to allow smoking only on the top floor of GSP-Corbin and the top two floors of other halls not currently smoke-free passed the AURH Executive Board, but failed in the AURH Senate. Stoner said that although AURH never officially endorsed the no-smoking policy, a decision was made based on the application process. "It would've been nice if there were 100 percent consensus accross the board, but that doesn't mean that you wait for 100 percent consensus." Stoner said. "We'd been discussing this for two years, and it was time to move forward." Stoner said that although about 7 percent of the residents indicated that they were smokers, not all requested to live on a smoking floor. "To have designated smoking areas and have your smokers refuse to live there is kind of counter-productive." Stoner said. Brauer said he thought the department could have done more before banning all smoking. "I really don't think DSH tries really hard to work with students," Brauer said. "They could make more of an effort to recombine roommates." Contact Boyer at choyer@kansan.com. This story was edited by Justin Henning.

There the team swam twice a day in outdoor pools and lifted weights every other day. KU SWIMMING "The trip went really well," said senior diver Rebecca McFall. "We had really good weather." Besides swimming in 75-degree weather, the team had a little fun in California. "The third day we were there we got to go to Disneyland," said freshman swimmer Amy Gruber. "It was a lot of fun. We had a blast." The team trained in southern California from Jan. 3 to 12 and then flew home through College Station, Texas, for a dual meet against Texas A&M. Texas A&M won the meet with 187 points to Kansas' 108. point of Athena "Diving was good," said coach Cathy Burgess, but added that she had hoped swimming would be stronger. Gruber said the team had been exited to swim. "Texas A&M did really well. They showed up. But I think we did alright for coming off of training." The lone win for the Kansas team was Gruber's first place finish in the 200 freestyle in a time of 1.52:56. Gruber has been one of the team's top point scorers all season. "Obviously Amy is a standout," Burgess said, "Amy stepped up consistently all year." On the diving side, McFall placed second in the one and three-meter board. A highlight for the team during break was the team's fall semester grade point average. The team earned a 3.24 GPA, the highest in Kansas women's swimming and diving history. Of the 27 swimmers and divers on the team, 19 earned a 3.0 or better. Four athletes earned a 4.0 — junior Heidi Landherr and Stacey Schneider and freshmen Ally Colver and Libby Erickson.

This story was edited by Cassio Furtado Track athlete sets record in weight throw By Matt Norton Kansan sportswriter Senior thrower Scott Russell stepped into the throwing ring Friday in Columbia, Mo., took two controlled but powerful spins to his left, and with a roar worthy of the 6-foot-9 man that he is, let the 35-pound ball fly. It landed far beyond the last marked line — 65 feet away from the ring—and spectators watching Russell immediately began guessing how far the mammoth toss traveled. After a couple of minutes of double checking by meet officials, the scoreboard next to the ring displayed the good news: 77 feet, 9.5 inches, which was a new facility, University of Kansas and Canadian national record in the weight throw for Russell. Russell bettered his own national mark of 76-7.75, set at last year's NCAA Indoor Championships. Russell's coach, Doug Reynolds, said he thought Russell would throw much farther later in the season. At home in Windsor, Ontario, during the holiday break, Russell was able to throw only occasionally because the facility he used for training was often closed. Though he normally uses a three-turn technique, Russell used only two turns to maintain form in the ring and ensure a legal throw. Russell said he knew right away the throw was going to be big bigger than the previous three that all surpassed the automatic qualifying standard for the NCAA indoor championships later this winter. "That feeling out of your hand—you know it's a big throw," he said. "You can feel your positions, you feel really stable through your body, and you can really feel the speed of the ball." The collegiate record of 78-9.75 is well within reach, Revnolds said. each other. To master both at such a young age takes a special athlete, Reynolds said. Many throwers don't peak And the we i ght t throw isn't even Russell's best event — that is the javelin, in which Russell holds "That feeling out of your hand - you know it's a big throw." the Canadian record and qualified for the World Championships last summer. Scott Russell senior thrower "As a weight thrower, he's certainly one of the best that's ever been. Where he stands in the record books shows that." Reynolds said. "He's training for essentially a hobby event and he's one of the top 10 ever." until their late 20s. The technical intricacies of the weight throw and the javelin are demanding, not mention much different from 200-pound soccer, football or basketball player," Reynolds said of Russell. "But he has the height and size of a world-class thrower. He's got great leverage and knows how to move." "He has the athletic skills of a six-foot. With his spot at the NCAA championships secure, Russell has embarked on an aggressive training program focused on producing an even bigger throw at that meet. Russell has augmented intense weightlifting work with a steady dose of 60- and 150-meter sprints with minimal rest between individual repetitions. Russell said he knew the workload would increase during the next six to eight weeks. "I'm pretty sore. In lifting weights, he's really been hammering us," Russell said of Revnolds. Russell is the best athlete Canada has ever produced in two events, but he said he wasn't spending much time thinking about that. Finishing his Kansas career with a flourish occupies his thoughts "Idefinitely want to go over 80 feet," Russell said. "I'm not placing a limit at that distance, but that's what I want to do, and then win a national championship indoors." sports@kansan.com. This story was edited by Jay Krall.

No, the Jayhawks were not preparing for a bowl game in a sunny location; instead, they were beginning the rebuilding process undertaken by new coach Mark Mangino. The football program and Mangino had a busy winterbreak as coaches were hired, players starred in post-season classics and recruiting began to take form. Hires The new Jayhawk football staff has been put in place by Mangino as he has announced the hiring of eight new coaches. Travis Jones and Clint Bowen, both of whom served under Terry Allen last season, will return to Mangino's staff. sive line coach, while Bowen's position is still to be named. Jones will serve as the defen- Pat Henderson was named as secondary coach after his previous stint at Southern Methodist. Henderson has served on staffs that have won eight conference championships in five leagues, and he has coached 14 defensive backs who went on to play in the NFL. Mangino appointed Nick Quartaro offensive coordinator. Quartaro was a part of Billy Dyer's original staff at Kansas State, and he has spent the last four seasons as an assistant coach at Iowa State, leading the Cyclones to two straight bowl games. Brandon Blaney comes to Kansas as the only coach who Mangino brought with him from Oklahoma. Blaney worked as an offensive line graduate assistant coach the past two seasons for the Sooners and his position with the Jayhawks will be determined at a later date. Twenty-five years of coaching, including 16 as a defensive coordinator, earned Bill Young the job of defensive coordinator for the Jayhawks. Young was the defensive line coach for the Detroit Lions this year. "Maybe there's a reason I got hurt and got his extra year." "Billy Young has been a defensive coordinator at highly successful football programs Harrison Hill Kansas wide receiver throughout his career," Mangino said. "He brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to our program and, most importantly, outstanding leadership to our defense unit." To improve and toughen the Kansas running attack that struggled last season, Dave Borbely was brought in from Notre Dame to become the offensive line coach. Borbely has spent the past four seasons as the offensive line coach for the Fighting Irish, a team that finished in the top 30 nationally in rushing offense in each of Borbely's four seasons. New linebackers coach Dave Doren will have a shiny championship ring to show off when he arrives in Lawrence. Doren was the secondary coach and recruiting coordinator for NCAA Division I-AA Montana. "Dave is a rising star in the coaching ranks," Mangino said. "He was instrumental in Montana's national championship. Dave is a tireless recruiter and a diligent worker." Along with the eight new coaches, Mark Smith has been named the new strength and conditioning coordinator. Smith, who previously oversaw conditioning at Florida, will oversee the entire strength and conditioning program at Kansas, but he will primarily focus on the football team. Plavers Several seniors ended their collegiate careers on high notes. Senior defensive tackle Nate Dwyer played in the Senior Bowl on Jan. 26 in Mobile, Ala., after he was selected first team All-Big 12 by the coaches. Senior linebacker Algie Atkinson and senior offensive tackle Justin Hartwig were part of the Blue-Gray All-Star Classic on Christmas Day in Montgomery, Ala. Atkinson stood out as he returned a fumbled punt for a touchdown late in the game. Wide receiver Harrison Hill would have been a good bet to play in these post-season classics, but instead he'll be called a senior for one more year. Hill received a sixth year of eligibility from the NCAA after he missed Kansas' last nine games because of a broken shoulder blade he suff ered against UCLA on Sept. 8. Still, Hill is determined to finish his career on a high note and play for Mario Kinsey Mangino, who tried to recruit him out of high school for Kansas State. "Maybe there's a reason I got hurt and got his extra year," Hill said. With his sixth year of eligibility, Hill will get a chance to watch freshman Johnny Beck build upon a first-year campaign that earned him a spot on The Sporting News' Big 12 all-freshman team. Beck hit 14 of 20 field goal attempts,including a 59-yarder at Colorado to go along with 16 of 17 extra-point attempts. Recruiting Running back DeAngelo Green of Hutchinson, defensive back Jerome Kemp of Wichita Southeast, quarterback Nick So far, Kansas has eight known commitments, though it is against NCAA rules for Mangino to discuss specific players. KINSEY'S HISTORY Former Kansas quarterback Mario Kinsey has enrolled at NCAA Division I-AA Sam Houston State. Kinsey was dismissed from the Kansas football program by coach Mark Mangino on Dec. 18th. Reid of Derby, lineman Shye Peterson of Milford, Conn., cornerback Kenneth Thompson of Irving, Texas, and quarterback Graeme McFarland of Mountain Brook, Ala., each committed to Kansas from the high school ranks. Kansas has received commitments from junior college prospects, including quarterback Bill Whittemore from Fort Scott Community College and Hutchinson Community College lineman Tony Coker. Coker was part of Kansas' 1999 recruiting class but transferred to Hutchinson Community College. Coker decided to return to Lawrence to join the new coaching staff, and he will be able to play for three years. Contact Domoney at sports@kansan.com. This story was edited by Sarah Warren.

The Jayhawks, now 5-13, have faced three ranked opponents in their last five games and the talented Big 12 Conference teams force Kansas to see eight more ranked teams in the upcoming months. Kansas senior center Niklk White, who is averaging 6.1 points and 4.2 rebounds per game, knows the caliber of teams in the conference. "The Big 12 has become extremely competitive," said White. "You have to be prepared for every game and every game is a challenge." At St. Louis 73, Kansas 61 The Jayhawks' first game of the break was also Kansas coach Marian Washington's 850th career game. Using their sixth different starting lineup of the season, Kansas connected on only 36 percent of its field goals in the first half while St. Louis shot 47 percent from the field. The 13-point halftime deficit was too much for the Jayhawks to overcome as Kansas fell to 4-7 on the season. Freshman forward/guard Blair Waltz scored a career-high 15 points in the contest and White added 13 points and nine rebounds. Georgetown 70, Kansas 57, at Philadelphia In the first round of the St. Joseph's Classic in Philadelphia, Kansas trailed by only one at half-time, 30-31, but failed to contain the Hoyas in the second half. The Jayhawks shot a season low 32 percent from the floor. Senior center Kristin Geoffroy led the Jayhawks with 11 points and senior guard K.C. Hilgenkamp added 10. Kansas played without White, who was sidelined with a hamstring injury. Kansas 88, Morgan State 53, at Philade- lohia In the consolation game of the St. Joseph's Classic, the Jayhawks concluded their nonconference schedule. The Jayhawks were strong offensively, scoring 50 points in the first half on nearly 60 percent shooting. Kansas hit a season-high six three-pointers, including three by Hilgenkamp, who totaled 17 points. Senior guard Selena Scott added 16 and Waltz scored 11. All 12 Jayhawks both played and scored. At Texas Tech 76, Kansas 54 Kansas fell to 3-3 in Big 12 season openers as the Red Raiders dominated on the boards, 46-24, in Lubbock, Texas. Four Jayhawks reached double figures in points, led by Hilgenkamp with 12. Waltz and Scott added 11 each while Geoffroy tallied 10. Texas A&M 58, at Kansas 51 The Aggies kept Kansas winless in the conference, and dropped the jayhaws to 3-3 in Big 12 home openers. A mixture of bad shooting and poor ball handling hurt the Jayhawks, who made a season-low 20 field goals and committed a season-high 27 turnovers. "I'm staying positive. I think our future is bright," Washington said after the game. "We knew we were going to struggle this year, but we need to just keep working hard." At No. 12 Baylor 68, Kansas 49 Once again, the Jayhawks struggled to find offensive production, scoring a season-low 17 points in the first half and shooting 35 percent for the game. Kansas trailed by as many as 20 points in the first half and went to the locker room down 33-17. Hilgenkamp led Kansas with 20 points, two rebounds and two assists. Baylor star Danielle Crockrom dominated the game with 24 points and 13 rebounds. Missouri 66, at Kansas 48 In the first of two Border War meetings this season, the Missouri Tigers took control with a 16-0 run in the second half and never looked back. The Jayhawks trailed 24-22 at halftime after a solid defensive effort in the first half but Missouri's duo of Kerensa Barr and Natalie Bright were too much for Kansas after the break. The two combined for 47 points and led the Tigers. Contact Scott at sports@kansan.com. This story was edited by Leita Walker. Women suffer another loss By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter Following the Kansas women's basketball team's 70-35 defeat to Colorado last night, coach Marian Washington had obvious disappointment in her eyes. "This is a situation that is extremely frustrating for everybody," she said. "The fact is, we don't have a lot of talent, especially in terms of depth. Most of the talent we have that gives us any depth is young." the Big 12 championship. "It's been a struggle," Washington said. "I try to find some positives for them. I think it takes a lot of courage when you're going through something like this to The Jayhawks' fifth straight loss dropped them to 5-13 overall and 0-5 in the Big 12 Conference and kept them at the bottom of the Big 12 standings. come back and do what they can to keep the program going." For a program that had won 63 percent of all its games before this season, a team struggling like this year's squad is an unfortunate learning experience for everybody involved. "We need to keep encouraging each other," senior center Nikki White said. "We need to remember that we're playing for and representing the University of Kansas." Despite the frustration of a losing season, the Jayhawks remain optimistic for the future, which consists of experienced young players and a highly touted recruiting class. "The thing we have to do is focus on recruiting," Washington said. "That kind of future keeps me going. It's been a long time since I've had a team that wasn't quite as athletic, and we'll be bringing in more athletes. I'm trying to give the young players as many opportunities as we can to get them experience." The Jayhawks will look to find a positive Saturday when they hit the road for a conference game against Nebraska. The Cornhuskers (10-7 overall, 1-4 in conference play) are currently in second to last in the Big 12 standings. Washington said she thought that the possibility of a turnaround in the future kept her and the team motivated. "They say that there's a light at the end of the tunnel," she said. "There's always something good that you can expect after going through challenges. "I have to believe that " Contact Wood at Contact Wood at rwood@kansan.com. This story was edited by Leita Walker.

Everyone else who came to watch Florida play last night saw the second-ranked Gators put on their most dominating performance of the season. Brett Nelson equaled his career-high with 26 points and lifted the Gators to a 102-70 victory, their biggest Southeastern Conference win since coach Billy Donovan arrived in 1995. Florida (15-1, 4-0) also matched a school record with its 11th straight SEC victory and extended another school record with its 14th straight win overall. It was a full, 40-minute effort — 17 minutes more than Brady watched. Referee Doug Shows ejected Brady when the coach refused to move away from center court moments after John Cloughery hit him with his first technical. "I didn't watch the game," Brady said when asked what he did after he got tossed. "In fact, I walked outside and walked around campus. It's a pretty campus. But it was a little chilly outside." Nelson wasn't the only one setting personal bests for the Gators. Orien Greene had 14 points and 11 assists, both career-highs, and Udonis Haslem matched his career-high with 16 rebounds to go with his 20 points. "The one thing I told the guys was to shoot the ball with freedom and confidence," Donovan said. They did, making 60 percent of their shots, including going 12 of 26 from 3-point range. "I think they deserve to be the No. I team," LSU forward Ronald Dupree said. "I haven't played Duke, but I have seen them on TV. This Florida team is deep. They're just good. They played very well tonight." The loss was a startling detour for LSU (11-5, 1-2), which fell behind 32-12 after 14 minutes and had as many turnovers as points (9) midway through the first half. Before his ejection, Brady was the only entertainment the Tigers could offer. He yelled at players, officials, his own assistants, and at one point, got so angry, he raised his knees to his chest, put both feet on the edge of his chair and screamed in frustration. Much of his anger was directed at LSU's biggest star, Collis Temple III. Temple had 15 points, but they were all meaningless. The team's leading scorer this season didn't score until LSU trailed 58-35 with 16:06 left. Brady said he boiled over when the Tigers didn't execute on offense, then followed by running the wrong defense. Foul calls he disagreed with sent him over the edge. "I've got my own thoughts about that, but I'm not going to "The one thing I told the guys was to shoot the ball with freedom and confidence." Billy Donovan Gators coach snare it with you," Brady said of the fouls. "Because it wouldn't do me any good. If I shared my thoughts, I'd get two or three reprimands like I did last year. So, it's just, 'Take it Coach,' and move on." Among the Gators' highlights were James White's steal and hip-twisting dunk, David Lee's two-handed jam and Haslem's easy dunk off a pass from Nelson. "Every second I'm out there, I want to give 100-percent effort," Nelson said. "I don't care if we're up 27, 57 or whatever. I just play like it's a tie game." It was enough to make Florida fans forget that the Gators were without starting guard Justin Hamilton, who separated his shoulder Saturday against Vanderbilt. Donovan said Hamilton could play Saturday when the Gators face No. 20 Georgia. He said he will know more Friday. Dupree led the Tigers with 19 points and eight rebounds. Boschee captures record for 3-pointers at Kansas By Brent Wasko Kansan sportswriter STILLWATER, Okla. — Jeff Boschee's 7-point performance against Oklahoma State doesn't reveal the true magnitude of what the senior guard accomplished Tuesday night, as the Jayhawks defeated the Cowboys 79-61 at Gallagher-Iba Arena. Arena. With 5:51 remaining in the first half, Bosche became the school's all-time leader in career three-pointers when he received a pass from Aaron Miles in the far corner and swished his 270th career basket from behind the arc. "I think it will be a lot more meaningful down the road," Boschee said. "I'm happy I got it, but I think in a couple of years when I'm done playing, I'm going to look back on it more as a great accomplishment and something I should be proud of." Boschee's 7-point effort against the Cowboys was well below his season average of 14 points per game, but he said that it didn't take away from the satisfaction he felt after the contest. He said that breaking the record in a winning effort against a tough conference team such as Oklahoma State made for a special night. "I was glad that I didn't break it at UCLA where we lost," he said. "For us to come in here and play the game that we did, and for me to break the record, it was a great experience." "Jeff's just not like that," Hinrich said. "It's a great accomplishment. He's been making shots and plays for us all year and during his whole career." Junior Jayhawk guard Kirk Hinrich said he didn't know that Boschee was set to the break the record. He said Boschee hadn't mentioned it before the game. "I didn't want to put any pressure on myself to shoot the ball every time I touched it," he said. "I just wanted to let the game come to me. Luckily, I had an open shot in the corner." for us all year said he making it Boschee said he made a conscious effort to not let the record distract him from what he had to do on the court. Billy Thomas, who connected for 269 long-disc Jeff Boschee tance shots at Kansas from 1994 to 1998, held the old career three-point record. "Billy was an excellent shooter." Rosieche said. "If he had Boschee said Thomas, who now plays for the Greenville Groove in the National Basketball Development League, had not contacted him about the record. shooter, Boscene said. If he played as much as I have, he'd still probably hold the record." Boschee's career at Kansas has been highlighted by his ability to shoot from outside. By drilling his first three-point attempt in the first half against the Cowboys, he has made a three-pointer in 106 of the 116 games he has played at Kansas. Against Nebraska on Jan.9, he broke the career mark for three-point attempts, which was also held by Thomas, with his 692nd attempt. During the game against Oklahoma State, Bosche moved past Eric Chenowith and into 19th place on the Kansas career scoring list with 1,283 points. He needs four more points to overtake Jo White, who played at Kansas from 1966 to 1968, on the all-time scoring list. Boschee credits the hard work he has put into his shooting technique for his scoring success. "My brother taught me how to shoot the basketball at a very young age," he said. "Just going through shooting drills every day and having my teammates find me beyond the perimeter has helped me a lot." Kansas will take on Oklahoma Saturday at noon at Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas coach Roy Williams said he hoped Boschee's hot shooting wouldn't cool off anytime soon. "He's made a lot of baskets for us for a long time," Williams said. "Hopefully, he's got a lot of them left." Contact Wasko at bwasko@kansan.com. This story was edited by Jay Krail.

Perfect basketball breeds high expectations, which is why it's no surprise that Kansas fans seem so confident their No. 4-ranked Jayhawks will be a Final Four team this year. Regardless, so much has been, if not perfect, then pretty darn close. The first 10 minutes during last Wednesday's 96-57 rout of an ireexperienced and overmatched Nebraska team may have been the purest 10 minutes of basketball during coach Roy Williams' 14 years guiding the Jayhawks. Fans oohed and aahed as every shot fell, every rebound bounced Kansas' way and every official's call favored Kansas. The Jayhawks hit 80 percent of their shots during that span before cooling to a still smoldering 59 percent for the half. It was an amazing, awe-inspiring performance. It was almost perfect.. The 'Huskers certainly weren't great opposition, but Kansas' game was fantastic. Most fans were satisfied and believed the game couldn't be played any better for an extended period of time. But the Iavhawks knew better. They proved it Tuesday against Oklahoma State. Angry after their 13-game winning streak was snapped by UCLA, the Jayhawks played what was billed to be a better opponent and increased their level of play against the No. 6-ranked Cowboys. They drilled the Cowboys as hard as they had the hapless 'Huskers, meanwhile creating a new standard of excellence. Returning to the site where it was handed the third-worst loss in school history two years ago, Kansas earned revenge (with a 79-61 victory) and delivered the worst loss in Eddie Sutton's 12 years as coach of Oklahoma State. The Jayhawks scorched the nets, hitting 67 percent of their first-half shots. They dominated the boards, played scrappy defense and outhustled the Cowboys to every loose ball. It was 20 minutes of inspired basketball. Williams later said it was his team's best half of the year. More accurately, it was probably the best half played by any team in the nation this year. Top 10 teams don't lose like that. It almost never happens, but Jayhawks made it happen. They could do it again Saturday when No.5 Oklahoma comes to Allen Fieldhouse and they could do it again to other teams before the season comes to a close. Unlike last year's Jayhawks, the 2001-2002 edition isn't simply satisfied with winning. They don't blow leads. They blow teams out. They're not content with being No. 4. They know the No. 1 ranking is within reach and they want it back That attitude is why Kansas is a Final Four contender and may be the best team in the land. Big wins are nice, but the Jayhawks expect that nowadays. There's a greater perfection they expect of themselves now — a trip to the Final Four and a successful run at the national championship. contact Wristen at CHRIS BURKET/KANSAN cwristen@kansan.com. Jayhawks cream No.6 Cowboys By Doug Pacey Kansan sportswriter STILLWATER, Okla. — If there was any doubt about how Kansas would respond after its loss at UCLA and fall from the No. 1 ranking, it was erased after Tuesday's 79-61 win against No. 6 Oklahoma State. The Jayhawks played hard and fast early, but it was Drew Gooden, a junior forward, who was most noticeable. The three-time Big 12 Player of the Week and Wooden Award candidate showed more moves than a Victoria's Secret model on a Paris runway against the Cowboys (15-2 overall, 2-2 in the Big 12 Conference). He scored 13 points in 10 minutes and helped Kansas (14-2 overall, 3-0 in the Big 12) to a 22-4 lead halfway through the first-half. He banged inside and dunked with authority, made short baseline jumps with a feathery touch, led the fast break and knocked down a three-pointer. And that's just on the offensive end. He finished with 17 points. "I think it was all mental," Gooden said. "That's what we did. We got out there." KANSAS 6 Coach Roy Williams said the first half against the Cowboys was the best defense his team had played this season, but acknowledged that Oklahoma State, despite its high rank, was not at full strength without its leading scorer, Maurice Baker, who was out with a groin injury. Still, the Jayhawks were more than pleased with the win, especially because it gave them a chance to use the knowledge that they had gained in their 87-77 loss to UCLA Saturday. hard defensively and that set the tone." "The biggest focus the whole time was, 'We're going to be OK if we learn from our mistakes on Saturday.'" Williams said. "I think Drew, for example, had a couple times in the first half he could have made a wild play, but he didn't do it because he understood the mistakes that had been made and I think the whole team did. "A loss is not going to kill you anytime, but it's OK if you learn from it and change those behaviors that make those mistakes." Contact Pacey at sports@kansan.com.

Gooden hit six field goals and one three-pointer for 17 points against the Cowboys. WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Women set dubious records Kansas forward, KC Hilgenkamp tries to get past the double team of Colorado's Sabrina Scott and Kate Fagan. Colorado beat Kansas last night at Allen Fieldhouse 70-35. COLORADO AL® al P. SCOTT 22 CHRISTINA NEFF/KANSAN By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter Numerous records were broken last night at Allen Fieldhouse. Unfortunately for the Kansas women's basketball team, they were marks the team would rather not have approached. The Jayhawks scored a season-low 13 first-half points during a 70-35 loss to No.22 Colorado, totaling the fewest points any Kansas women's basketball team has scored in a game. "Tonight was really pretty bad because no one was on," Kansas coach Marian Washington said. "K.C. (Hilgenkamp) was definitely off. We didn't have Blair (Waltz) and everybody else seemed to be off." The baker's dozen on the scoreboard in the first period was the second lowest output in a half for the Jayhawks ever, and the 35-point margin was the team's fifth-worst defeat in history. "It's a difficult time. I've got to handle it." Washington said. "We all go through challenges. Unfortunately, in athletics it's very visible unless people recognize what these kids are trying to do and at least acknowledge that they haven't given up." For the first ten minutes, Kansas (5-13 overall, 0-5 in the Big 12 Conference) stuck with the Buffalooes and led 11-7. The Jayhawks then went ice cold from the field, scoring just one basket in the final 10 minutes, while Colorado (11-6, 1-3) went on a 23-2 run going into half-time. Kate Fagan and Sabrina Scott combined for 17 points for the Buffalooes in the first half and finished with 29 total. "We have to stop those spurts," said senior guard Selena Scott. "Once we stop that I think we'll be OK." Colorado shut down Kansas' top two scorers, Selena Scott and Hilgenkamp. Kansas' Scott scored 7 points and Hilgenkamp tallied five, and the two combined for 5-of-25 shooting. Kansas senior center Kristin Geoffroy scored 10 points and grabbed three rebounds for the Jayhawks, but Kansas lost the battle for the boards 49-27. "I'm fighting to stay positive right now. Something's got to click eventually." Geoffry said. "We have so many injuries on our team and we never know from day to day who we're going to have or who is going to show up and play." The injuries seem to be mounting. Waltz, a freshman forward who missed the last two games with a stress fracture in her foot, played only nine minutes before icing her foot the rest of the game. Hilgenkamp also limped after last night's contest. "If she (Blair) plays, it's not going to damage her foot any more but it's a lot of pain," Washington said. "K.C. is also limping but she is going to try and work through it." Contact Scott at jscott@kansan.com This story was edited by Jay Krail. Men's team spends time at the top By Doug Pacey Korean sportswriter For one week during winter break, Kansas was at the top. It lasted all of seven days. "I know we're a good team no matter what," said junior forward Drew Gooden. "We could be ranked 1,2,3, 4,5 or whatever, it doesn't matter." Kansas' players were visibly upset in the visitors' locker room after the 87-77 loss to UCLA, but that was more because of the way they played and not the knowledge that they would drop in the rankings. At No.1 UCLA 87,No.1 Kansas 77 Here's a brief synopsis of the games Kansas played during semester break. If there's one team in the country that knows how to beat No. 1 teams, it's the Bruins. Three times in the last two seasons UCLA has knocked off the top-ranked team. "They just outplayed us," said Hinrich, who made a career-high five three-pointers and scored 17 points. "They beat us up, they played better." UCLA's zone defense forced 16 first-half turnovers on its way to a 46-35 half-time lead. At No.1 Kansas 96, Nebraska 57 In its first game as the top-ranked team in the nation in four years, Kansas had its most explosive offensive effort of the season against the Cornhuskers, leading 57-24 at the half. For the first time this season, three Kansas players recorded doubledoubles. Nick Collison led all players with 20 points and 13 rebounds. Gooden tallied 16 points and 12 rebounds and freshman Wayne Simien scored 12 points and got 10 rebounds in just 17 minutes. No. 2 Kansas 97, at Colorado 54 More than one-third of the crowd at the Coors Event Center was decked in crimson and blue and saw the Jayhawks beat the Golden Buffaloes for the 25th consecutive time. Gooden netted game-highs in points, 27, and rebounds, 14. Hinrich added 19 points and 12 rebounds for his first double-double of the season. Collison scored his 1,000th point, but it was Gooden's 30 points—20 of which came in the second-half that helped the Jayhawks win this close game. The Crusaders tied the game, 68-68, with five minutes remaining, but a 13-5 Kansas run put the game out of reach. No. 2 Kansas 93, Tulsa 85 at Kemper Arena, Kansas City, Mo. With 2:24 left in the game and a small lead, Hinrich took control of the game. He scored six points, snagged three important rebounds and made a steal to preserve the win. Gooden led all players with 25 points and also passed the 1,000-point plateau. No. 3 Kansas 108, at North Dakota 77 It wasn't clear who had more fans at Englestad Arena, Jeff Boschee or the Fighting Sioux. Boschee, a native of Valley City. N.D., was on the cover of the game program and a highlight video of his career at Kansas played on the video board before the game. If that footage wasn't enough for fans, his play gave them something else to ooh and aah about. He led all players with 23 points and made four of six three-pointers.

SEE PAGE 3B Gabriel Alsina, Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, freshman, plays around on a tutorial of the computer game Everquest in his room at Stephenson Hall. Alsina said that when he was a regular player he would spend two or three hours every night on the game, which is why he hasn't re-subscribed lately. THE GAMES PEOPLE PLAY Online games popular among students Story by Adam Pracht = Photo by Aaron Showalter Gabriel Alsina,the powerful wizard, knew that the battle was lost. Though he led his men over deserts and fought enemies, the foes were then so strong that he could not cast spells fast enough. He called for his group of 20 to retreat for home. Once safe, he shut off his computer monitor and wearily went to bed at 3 a.m. Alsina is actually a Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, freshman, and he "became" a wizard through a program called Ultima Online. Programs like Ultima Online, Everquest and Dark Age of Camelot are known as massively multiplayer online role playing games (MMORPG). For a typical fee of $10 a month, people from widespread areas are allowed to gather online as fantasy characters and portray a unique personality. "While you're doing this, your heart's pumping," Alsina said. "You're all worried that you're going to die." Although the graphics are impressive, Alsina said that it was the social aspect that drew him to the game. Many enjoy graphically based games like Ultima Online. Andrew Giessel, Larned junior, enjoys text-based role playing games called THE ONLINE GAMES Ultima Online www.oo.com Everquest www.averquest.com OtherSpace www.otherspace.org Dark Age of Camelot www.darkageof camelot.com playing games called Multi User Dimensions (MUD). He said that MUDS were typically free and that a person with a vivid imagination could create more vivid pictures than a graphical game could produce. Although the mediums seem different, both MMORPGs and MUDs have a common characteristic: They are habit forming. "I've always liked reading," Giessel said, "MUDs have all the addictiveness of normal chat channels and all the addictiveness of a role-playing game. It was a really rich environment to explore." Giessel said that one summer he spent more than 10 hours a day playing a text-based game called Medevia. However, Wes Platt, Florida journalist and creator of a text-based game called OtherSpace, said that the games should not be blamed for excessive play, but instead human nature. "You're going to have some people who don't know when to quit," he said. "But that's true with anything that can be abused. MUDs are great in moderation When they start replacing your real life, that is a dangerous thing." Fortunately for Alsina and Giessel, heavy online gaming was something they stopped when they came to the University of Kansas. Alsina stopped paying his subscription during finals to concentrate on school, and Giessel stopped playing text-based games when he came to college. Not all are so lucky, however. Giessel said he had friends who flunked out of college because they were plying MUDs all day. Platt said that in his experience at OtherSpace, he found that most players were high school or college students between the ages of 16 to 25. He said most of the players were male. Platt gave advice on how to balance playing the games with college. "Deal with your real-life issues. Don't abandon a social life in real life," he said. "And make sure you're having fun with these games. When you feel yourself getting so angry you can't stand it because of some silly thing that happens online, log off and take a break for a while. Put things in perspective." In fact, Platt said that there could even be benefits to playing these games. "Games like OtherSpace — I think — help increase literacy because we're focused on storytelling and we put a strong emphasis on writing," he said. "I can't think that's a bad thing. Downside: I don't sleep as much as I probably should." Contact Pracht apracht@kansan.com. This story was edited by Brooke Hesler.

COMMENTARY For those who love for their record collections to serve not only as archives of grade-A audio bliss, but also as stimulating conversation pieces, there are other artists of interest to pursue when Sid Vicious stories and Kurt Cobain conspiracy theories start to get a little stale. The following are albums by lesser-known artists who not only recorded Andy Gassaway agassaway@kansan.com worthwhile music, but lived colorful lives to serve as their backdrop: Though Barrett is widely known as the original lead singer and guitarist of Pink Floyd, his music is not nearly as well-known as that of his radio-dominant ex-compatriots.

Sid was kicked out of the band following the release of its second LP, and he went on to record two solo albums in 1970. Since then, Syd has simply disappeared into seclusion.

Skip's acid intake caused him to become a difficult bandmate, however, as he is said to have chased the other members of Moby Grape around a studio with a fire axe during one of his particularly bad freakouts. Oar, his solo record, consists of dense acoustic blues and folk songs that resemble a more whimsical, yet no less endearing take on early Leonard Cohen.

P 2 II Crab LION 芭蕾 LAURENT MICHAEL Kansan "sexpert" enjoying new job Scorpion 弓 --- S By James Manning Sex columnist We all have timid secrets. We all have things about ourselves that we shouldn't be shy to reveal, but that for some reason we can't let pass our lips. Eventually we become braver, and we tell those secrets to a person or two. These people in turn tell our secrets to others — and soon it seems as the whole world knows about our personal little things. That has been happening with me for the past four weeks. I had a secret that could either be lame, stimulating, glamorous, or shameful—or all four at the same time. "Really?" Ally asked. "You'll be good at it. Just don't write about me." I first told my roommate Ally I was applying for the job. A couple of days later, at a party, she decided to reveal my little secret to a few others. My secret was writing this column. "Dude." one guy said, buzzing off of his beer. "Dude, you want to write about butt plugs?" I didn't reply. I have no intention of ever discussing butt plugs in this page — I know my limits. When I got the Kansan's acceptance, I told about it to my friend Wendy. She asked me if I was going to be anything like Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City. I instantly hoped my life could be half as exciting as hers. Or maybe not. James Manning jmanning@kansan.com Then the phone rang. "Hello, honey. It's Mom. What's new in your life?" I know my limits. COMMENTARY What was new? I didn't know how to break the news, but I did it. Sort of. "Really?" she asked. "What about?" "Well, I'm writing for a paper again," I said. "Well, um . . ." I faltered. "Relationships. I'm writing a column on relationships." "Really? Well, you should start with me and your father," she replied. "God knows we need the help." But it wasn't until New Year's Eve that I discovered the full power of my new title. I guess I wasn't nearly as comfortable with my secret as I thought I was. I was doing the whole small-talk thing in a bar and I was asked what I did for a living. I replied that I taught Cha-ching at KU. First score. Then I was asked if I did anything else. My friend Wendy volunteered the information about my other job. "Really?" the woman asked me. "So, what can you teach me?" I smiled. "After all, you're the sexpert," she said. Then I realized how much I'm going to like this job. Well, at least until my mother reads this column. Contact Manning at jmanning@kansan.com. Let me introduce myself. I am a self-proclaimed student. I come from the land of Minnesota, and I have taken the golden opportunity of working for the Kansan, writing a sex column. I have no plans of hiding or twisting any facts. I am here to tell you how it is. Granted, I might not be as well-versed in some things as others, but I am willing to give things a shot. So here we go. Sex is important; take it seriously By Piers Shorrock Sex columnist I would like to start off with a little safety talk. I will entitle it "Abstinence, or when in doubt, the next best thing." Everyone knows that we all should hold ourselves back from the blasphemous act of sex until we are married, but we are college students; we are about exploring and uncovering the unknown. So those of you who are practicing abstinence, keep it up. You are doing the right thing, and you should stick to it. Now, if you aren't practicing abstinence, and if you're in the situation where you really think you're ready to have sex but you just can't find someone to do it with you, then keep looking. Remember that it is a big world out there, and there is always someone for you. If you already have met the light of your life and if you are having problems bringing the subject of sex up, then there are a few approaches that you could take. A straightforward approach would be to just get naked and say something like "Does this look good to you? It feels good to me. Let's get it on." Chances are the person you're directing your question—and your private parts—to is going to take off running. So I wouldn't recommend it. COMMENTARY Piers Shorrock pshorrock@kansan.com COMMENTARY More than likely, if the relationship has reached the sex level, then you are both thinking about doing it anyway. The other person is just as nervous as you to bring it up. Bring the topic up and see where it goes. YOU HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT BEFORE YOU DO IT. Sex is only best when both of you agree that it's what you should be doing. Once you start, it will only get better. Be adventurous. Try new things and different places — but think about it before you jump to it. For those of you who have thrown abstinence to the wayside long ago, keep it up. Nothing is wrong with an active sex lifestyle, but you should know your partner for at least a few hours before you hop into bed. No matter if you are new or experienced, sex is about both of you, not just one of you — it takes two to tango. Make sure that the other person is on the same level as you are. Now, the things that I would like to talk about might not be what you want to read. If you have any ideas, suggestions or questions that you would like me to answer, please contact me. Just think of me as you sexual resources center. Contact Shorrock at pshorrock@kansan.com. ROCK SNOB CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B exist but, because of their incompleteness, simply aren't worth the time, which is why the box set is the most recommendable. Drake's strongyet understated voice is paired with a beautifully intricate acoustic guitar style, producing heartwrenching songs of sadness and introspection. As fate would have it, his autumnal, melancholy songwriting style was the direct product of a privileged, but nonetheless melanchoylife. Suffering from bouts of extreme depression, Drake died in 1974 at his parents' home not long after his release from a mental institution. His death was ruled a suicide, supposedly induced by an overdose of antidepressant drugs, though it was also argued to have been an accident. The fact that his lyrics seem to prophesy an early demise is yet another fascinating dimension of his music. Live at the Austin Outhouse, Blaze Foley, Munich, 1999. Forthose who like theirtroubadours with a little twang, Blaze Foley's posthumous live album is the place to start. Who better to sing a tragic cowboy tune than a guy who led an actual tragic cowboy life, getting gunned down in 1989 trying to protect an elderly friend? Though he achieved virtually no notoriety during his lifetime, Blaze's minimalist songs of road-weary wryness have been covered by songwriting legends Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson. Does the fact that an artist led a tragic, mysterious life make his or her music a worthwhile pursuit? Not necessarily, but some rarely sought masterpieces certainly exist. But even when the obscure fails to prove superior, when a record collection is a matter of pride, nothing feels quite as rewarding as fielding an inquiry about one of your rare gems with the phrase, "Well, there's a great story behind that one..."

Sixth St.. for nearly two weeks. "A lot of people are interested," he said, "and a lot of people are intrigued." The flyer's portrayal of Willis — cigar, shaved head and an "I have lint in my eyes" stare — might be the magic image that gets folks to his show, but Jeff Fortier of Lawrence's House of Blues said he didn't doubt Willis' ability to wow the crowd, especially the die-hards. "I think people view it as a party," Fortier said. "To have fun, lighten up — that's what it's all about. He's very supportive of . . . the blues in general." Willis is touring several House of Blues venues nationwide because "he wants to jam," said Fortier, adding that he doesn't think "he's taking it very seriously." Lawrence's House of Blues arranged the show at the Uptown Theatre. "I know he can draw a crowd," Fortier said. "From what I've seen so far, he's attracting an older crowd. But don't let that stop you from coming." Ivan Neville, son of R&B singer Aaron Neville ("Everybody Plays A Fool"), joins Bruce Willis & the Accelerators tonight as a bassist.

THURSDAY, JAN. 17, 2002 jayplay THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 3B --- Start year off right with great movies By Peter Black Jayplay writer COMMENTARY As semester break ends, many students come back refreshed and ready to tear into a new semester. The idea of starting the semester strong by actually doing all the class readings and getting an early start on those projects might sound like a good idea, but — let's face it — we all know that after a week of homework, the last thing anybody will want to do is study So, start by catching up on all of those holiday movies you missed over the break. The semester is young, so consider this your first cheat sheet of the year. The Man Who Wasn't There, the newest installment to the Coen Brother's library, is a twisted tale. Ed Crane, played by Billy Bob Thornton, is an emotionless barber trying to escape the life he created for himself. This is a classic dark comedy. It is also one of the most visually compelling movies of the year. COMMENTARY Peter Black pblack@kansan.com If you and a group of friends are trying to find a movie everybody would love, look no further than Amelie. This French import brings us lovable characters. Thornton gives a performance that has Oscar written all over it. This may not be the most talked about movie of the year, but it is definitely one of the best. Amelie is a charming story about a lonely young women who finds sanity in helping others and in her overactive imagination. Director Jean-Pierre Jeunet brings the charming story to life through beautiful bright colors and sweeping camera movements. It is funny and charming, has great acting, a terrific screenplay and shows that the filmmaker actually had a vision in mind for Amelie a quality that many films lack. Unless you were born without a soul, you will love this movie. In a year when Hollywood whisked us away to lands with three-headed dogs, jovial hobbits and robotic boys, who would have thought that the most enjoyable trip would be to the kingdom of The Royal Tenenbaums? Never before has a dysfunctional family been so amusing. Wes Anderson gives us an in-depth look into the chaotic lives of the Tenenbaum family as they reluctantly begin to repair family relationships. The film's characters have idiosyncrasies to the extreme. Anderson beautifully crafts The Tenenbaums so none of the characters steal the show, and the family is loved and embraced. Unless you are an *injured* Murder She *Wrote* fan, it has probably been a long time since you've seen a classic murder mystery story. Speaking of syndicated television, Robert Altman, the creator of M.A.S.H. and a Kansas City native, has returned to the genre of murder mystery with his newest film, Gosford Park. In the hills of England a slew of socialites and their servants arrive for a weekend retreat. As the story unfolds, a tangled mess of greed and lust emerges, leaving one person dead and multiple people to blame. Altman's signature style, which he has been crafting since the early 1970s, brings the motivations and stories of all the characters into a coherent whole in a way that no other director could. Unfortunately, great film-making cannot overcome a poor story. There are a lot of great elements in the screenplay, but in the end, no choices were made, leaving too many loose ends. Contact Black at rblack@kansan.com. Volunteers take musical journey By Brad Weiner Jayplay writer I rode across the country in a van with six other students — and one car stereo. Getting to know fellow volunteers proved one of the most memorable experiences of my Alternative Winter Break trip to Phoenix, with music disputes providing a glimpse into our very different personalities. One would think my greatest concern about the community service trip would be the idea of an inexperienced teacher like myself being thrown in front of a classroom of unruly, inner-city children. After all, that was the idea of the experience. In actuality, I was more apprehensive about the car ride to and from Arizona and the music we would hear along the way. Each of the "Phoenix Seven" came from a different place and was interested in different things. In fact, the only thing we had in common was that we were in the same vehicle headed to the same place to participate in the same program. Our taste in everything, including music, was diverse, to say the least. Bob McKenney, Clinton, Mo., senior, dug the electronic dance stylings of Paul Oaken- fold, a DJ considered to be one of the best. Techno music was not a group favorite, so he often opted for headphones. This was the case during a trip to school one morning when we listened to the hideously campy soundtrack of Moulin Rouge. McKenney described this experience as "the worst 30 minutes of my life." I can easily say that the Police's "Roxanne" was so horribly soiled in the soundtrack version that I can never listen to it again. The person responsible for Moulin Rouge was our resident country music expert (who asked not to be named because of her interest in both country musica and Dave Matthews Band), who continually lobbied for the twangy Texas sound. She was pleased with a version of "Boot Scootin' Boogie" on the radio and "Callin' Baton Rouge," a Garth Brooks tune that showed up on a mix CD. My musical selections came from an eclectic range of artists. They were met with an equally diverse range of reactions. My bluegrass did not go over well. Like Bob. I quickly went to headphones as a favor to myself and the others. One might ask if any music suited all of us at the same time. A few albums did hit home runs in terms of overall popularity. Blues Traveler's Four, Moondance by Van Morrison, Graceland by Paul Simon, MTV Unplugged performances by both Eric Clapton and 10,000 Maniacs, and Rubber Soul by the Beatles were among them. Albums like these are the true classics. If a group of seven strangers with different tastes can sing along and enjoy the ride, there is a timelessness about these masterpieces. Musically, we came from different worlds, but our hearts were in the same place. I may never say these words again, but the tunes in the background seem insignificant compared to the community service we provided. Contact Weiner at bwineer@kansan.com.

Cartoon Network introduced the animated series last November. By Donovan Atkinson Jayplay writer On Nov. 17, 2001, Cartoon Network premiered its new series, Justice League, a cartoon based on the popular DC Comics superhero team. Though Justice League appears in its own monthly comic book title JLA, DC has rolled out a new monthly series based on the television show Justice League Adventures. Justice League. The new series, like the TV show, follows the adventures of a team of the world's greatest heroes. The lineup includes well-known characters Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, as well as lesser-known char- acters Green Lantern, Flash, Martian Manhunter and Hawkgirl. The series works to create an ensemble feel, giving each of the characters a role of equal importance in the story and perhaps putting one character in the spotlight for a short amount of time. Diversity also is a part of the cast, as the creative team behind the book has chosen to use John Stewart, the African-American Green Lantern, to break up the virtually all white League line-up. The series also includes Hawkgirl to provide another female character. The creative team has decided to keep this book simple, targeting a younger audience who may not be able to fully grasp some of the epic storylines of the current JLA title. This does not mean that older readers will not enjoy book, as the stories are not inane, but streamlined of extra action or subplots. Stories also are kept to the length of a single issue, which keeps the stories simple and straightforward. This also aids the reader, who may not be able to find the title in stock on a regular basis. Thitatallows readers to miss an issue or two and not miss any changes in the story. However, the brief story structure keeps the writer from exploring the encharacters in depth. In the first two issues, the characterization of several characters was inconsistent. Hawkgirl was portrayed as more subdued in the first issue and feistier in the second. Additionally, the creative team (the writer and artist) changes from issue to issue, and one writer's interpretation of a character may be different from another's. The artwork, although done by a different artist each month, remains in the same style. Bruce Timm, the animator behind Justice League, developed the style with his work on Batman: The Animated Series, Superman and Batman Beyond.The style is clean, with simple lines and shading and bold, bright colors. With straightforward stories, clear artwork and a cast of recognizable, colorful characters, Justice League Adventures is a book worth reading. Justice League Adventures is published monthly by DC Comics with a newstand price of $1.99. writer@kansan.com. This story was edited by Jay Krall. Contact Atkinson at As a new semester begins, students once again face long classes, tiring jobs, stacks of homework, noisy roommates, late nights and poor diets. All this leads to one thing: stress. Classes bring new stress By Alicia Urban Jayplay writer Stress is not always a bad thing — in fact, it can be useful. There's nothing like a little stress-fueled panic to inspire an English essay or fuel an all-night studying binge. Usually,however,stressful assignments problems or events just keep piling up and this is when stress can go from a good thing to a big problem. Dianne Williams, Burlington freshman, said most of her stress came from her classes. "Papers, big tests and major pileups stress me out," Williams said. "It seems like everything is due on the same day." RHYMING is use on the basis of: School also creates tension in Lesley Huhes. Tucson, Ariz., senior. "Getting into graduate school is my main stressor," Hughes said. "I am a music major, so I have a lot of auditions." Annie Monfort, Iola sophomore, said her stress came from within. "I put pressure on myself to do the best I can." Monfort said. "But I tell myself it's okav — I don't have to be perfect." Students can take several steps to prevent stress from building up in their lives. Bill Smith, spokesman for Watkins Health Center tells students to write out schedules, eat a balanced diet, exercise and avoid caffeine and tobacco products. Most importantly, Smith said, "Find time for yourself." Williams has her own way of relieving stress. suscess. "I write a lot. I write in my journal, or I sit and write poetry or short stories," she said. Contact Urban at aurban@kansan.com. This story was edited by Sarah Smarsh.

THURSDAY,JAN.17,2002 jayplay THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5B Student reworks Marlowe's 'Faustus' JOHN NOWAY/JANE JOHN NOWAK/KANSAN Theresa Buchheister, Manhattan, Kan., Soph., is the director for the Hashinger Hall spring play of Dr. Faustus" "The A Text". The play will run during Easter weekend in the Hashinger Theatre April 29th and 30th. Referring to her play, Buchheister who is also a performer, said "It's a really diverse show that has a lot of appeal to different people and we're just trying to be as sacreligeous as possible." By Michelle Burhenn Jayplay writer Theresa Buchheister sat in her Hashinger residence hall room amidst strenu laundry, a Humphrey Bogart action figure and a cigarette-filled ashtray. She pushed aside the mess to make room for her visitors on the floor and warned against sitting in her cracked desk chair. Buchheister, clad in camo cutoffs, a blue shirt and red tie, talked of the party she went to the night before, then settled in to chat about her most recent project — transforming the text of Christopher Marlowe's "Dr. Faustus" into a modern marvel, complete with shadow puppetry and her own original soundtrack. The Buchheister, Manhattan sophomore, is gearing up to direct the play that she's been wanting to stage for four years. She said she plans to stage the play in late March during Easter weekend, as a sacrilegious tribute to the themes of religion and servitude in the play. She first became interested in the play, which was published in 1604, after reading it in high school and seeing the Shenandoah Shakespeare Company's version, a combination of two versions of the play. "It was a great show, but I had a lot of issues with the way it was directed and how the scripts were combined," she said. "I just felt like it was a pretty muddled production, but it made me want to learn more about Marlowe and the two texts." Buchheister's obsession for Marlowe led her to take a class that studied his life and works. The professor for the course Richard Hardin, provided valuable input concerning her direction of the play. "I presented him with some ideas because he's a pretty good authority on it and to make sure I wasn't off track and pulling ideas out of my butt that I just thought were interesting that weren't really supported in the text." Although Buchheister, the a- teater major, hopes to receive funding for the play that will be staged at the Hashinger Hall Theatre, she has personally funded the project — mostly from money she has earned from her weekly plasma donations. Buchheister's "Dr. Faustus" has a cast of 11, including her own roles of Envy, one of the seven deadly sins, and Chorus. She has been in several KU productions, and she directed plays in high school. She said she has missed many of the aspects of directing. "I didn't direct at all last year, so I was itchin'," she said. "I like to do everything, which is why being a director is such a good thing. I like to have a fair amount of control." Many of the unique stage techniques, Buchheister said, were thoughts that came to her late at night. "I like to see pictures on stage of what I have in my head," she said. "I get a lot of ideas for direction from my dreams and ideas that hit me in the middle of the night, I wake up and write it down. I just like to see that on stage, and I like to let other people into my head that way." Buchheister's passion for the play and for directing enticed her friend, Sarah Homan, Overland Park junior, to act in the play as well as serve as assistant director. "I've never seen someone as passionate about something as Theresa is to 'Faustus,'" said Homan, who describes her friend Buchheister as everything from lightning to Little Mary Sunshine. "She got me really into it. It's going to be really rewarding to work with someone that's going to make this happen." Buchheister said that because the cast was so small and the show so big, every member had to be devoted to the play. "It's better that (some) people dropped out because even though it's stressful at the moment, I want everyone to — not be as excited as me, because that's asking a bit much — but at least have a pretty strong drive to do it. If they don't have the desire to do it then I don't want them in it." Chris Cardinal, Salina freshman, replaced a former cast member and is now taking on four separate roles. "I've really come into this with kind of a blank slate," he Buchheister said that between directing "Dr. Fausus," appearing in University Theatre's Othello and donating plasma, she wouldn't have much spare time, but she said her love of the play made it worth the trouble. said. "I don't know what's going on. I'm just letting Theresa show me what to do." "I think the show will appeal to everyone, even people who think they don't understand classical theater," she said. "It's a weird show, but it's also a classical show. It really covers all the bases. But there's no miming. So those people who only like mimes can go to hell." Mangino still undefeated as Kansas head coach Editor's note: The Kansan will be publishing satirical writing throughout the semester, of which you will find just a taste below. The satire will be published every Thursday in Jayplay, and in future weeks there will be more to read. It's a place to have fun — the information and quotes in these stories are fabricated. But it's also a place to make some serious comments about this University and the people at it. We welcome your contributions. If you are interested in writing satire for the Kansan, contact Matt Merkel-Hess, the satire page coordinator, at mmerkel-hess@kansan.com. By Ben Ross Kansan satire writer Several weeks into Mark Mangino's tenure as Kansas' head football coach, the Jayhawks have yet to lose a single game. The undefeated streak is the longest one the Jayhawks have managed since the beginning of the 2001 season. "When I hired coach Mangino in November, I told him that KU fans were sick and tired of losing," said Al Bohl, Kansas athletics director. "Coach Mangino has stepped up to the challenge and the subsequent undefeated record reflects his dedication to the University." Since Mangino took over, the dismal performances of the Terry Allen era have been virtually nonexistent. The defense has given up fewer yards than in the past five seasons under Allen combined, and the offense has yet to commit a single turnover. Unlike recent teams, Kansas under Mangino has managed to win as many games this year as rivals Oklahoma, Nebraska and Kansas State. The lajahwacks, now in a six-way tie for first place in the Big 12 North division, remain in contention for their first BCS bowl since the system was created in 1998. Coach Mangino spent most of his time this week preparing the team for its next game, Aug. 31 against Iowa State.

PIPING SCOTT TEA REGIER Williams plays darker characters The Associated Press PARK CITY, Utah — Robin Williams has provided some of the darkest and lightest moments at this year's Sundance Film Festival. First, he menaced the crowds with One Hour Photo, a grim story in which he plays a joyless photo clerk who dangerously fixates on a family. Then Williams had people rolling in the aisles as he turned a question-and-answer session on the movie into an impromptu standup routine. "This was a bizarre, creepy movie. Now coming up and making people laugh, it's like being an emotional sorbet," Williams said after the movie's premiere last weekend. Williams cracked wise on why he chose such a dark role ("Because Mr. Rogers On Ice was already taken"), on his characters fuzzy blondish hair ("They cut my hair with a Roto- Rooter"), and on security for upcoming Winter Olympics events around Park City (anthrax-antsy guards shouting, "There's white powder everywhere!" and then being told, "It's snow, sir"). Best-known for sympathetic, lovable characters in such films as Good Will Hunting and Dead Poets Society. Williams has three movies coming out this year in which he plays the heavy. Preceding One Hour Photo, which opens this fall, Williams plays a murder suspect opposite Al Pacino in Insomnia and a former children's show host gunning for revenge against the man who replaced him in the black comedy Death to Smoochy, directed by Danny DeVito. "Have I played a lot of these characters? No." Williams said in an interview Tuesday. "Do I want to play them? Oh God, yeah, because they're fascinating." In One Hour Photo, Williams plays Sy Parrish, a quiet, lonely man who builds a fantasy life for himself as "Uncle Sy" to a family of regular customers at the photo-developing center where he works. His obsession turns to stalking, and when Sy realizes the family is not the picture-perfect unit he imagined, he takes frightening steps to set matters straight. "It's a completely new way to see Robin Williams," writer-director Mark Romanek said. "But if you look more carefully at his dramatic work and even some of his comedic work, it isn't that far afield from some of the earmarks of other characters he's played. People who are obsessive, isolated, lonely." Williams said a woman at the first screening forgot who she was watching. "That's the greatest compliment of all, that they said it's no longer Robin Williams. They just find themselves watching this man."

The old method of adding or dropping a class meant waiting in long lines at a specific time designated by the last two numbers of a student's KUID. Though the schedule of add/drop still follows the last two numbers of the student's KUID, changes have been made. "This semester we've gone to a change where students are allowed to come add or drop classes all day instead of during a particular time frame like it has been in previous semesters," said Cindy Derritt, associate registrar. The new schedule allows students two chances to add and drop classes between the hours of 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. today through Monday, Jan. 28 on days when classes are in session. Students have a third chance from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 29 and Wednesday, Jan. 30. But the registrar's office advises students to avoid peak times. "There are times that are more busy than others," Derritt said, "Generally it's busiest between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. with the slower times being from 8 to 10 a.m. and 3 to 5 p.m." Katie Williams, Topeka junior, said she disliked the previous add/drop schedule. "I hate the add/drop process because I've always had class at my designated time," Williams said. However, other students thought the add/drop system was convenient enough in past semesters. "I've always gotten what I wanted so I guess it's been fairly easy for me," said Last two numbers of KUID 00-19: First chance: Thursday, Jan. 24. Second chance: Friday, Jan. 25. 20-39: First chance: Friday, Jan. 25. Second chance: Monday, Jan. 28. 40-59: First chance: Friday, Jan 18. Second chance: Tuesday, Jan. 22. 60-79: First chance: Tuesday, Jan. 22. Second chance: Wednesday, Jan. 23. 80-99: First chance: Wednesday, Jan. 23. Second chance: Thursday, Jan. 24. Billy Steffens, Andover sophomore. Students who want only to drop a class can go to Room 151 C in Strong Hall. "Add/drop isn't too bad. Think dropping a class is easiest," said Melanie Busch, Wichita junior. "Adding can be a pain when you have to get special permission cards." Students planning on adding or dropping classes should obtain the correct slips outside 151 Strong Hall or check with their school. If a student is trying to add a class, some schools — including the schools of architecture, engineering and journalism require a dean's stamp. These schools do this to monitor a student's progress toward graduation. Students can also visit the computer labs in Budig Hall and the Kansas Union or access www.opensections.ku.edu to check class availability. Contact Carr at mcarr@kansan.com.

Credit card debt a heavy price for students to pay By Melissa Shuman Kansan staff writer Students who maxed out their credit cards during winter break may be in more debt than they bargained for. Getting out of debt can become a serious problem for students with little or no income. Robert Baker of Consumer Credit Counseling Services, 2518 Ridge Ct., said that many students didn't realize the effect fees had on their credit record. "When students carry a credit card debt, it's like they have to make car payments on a car that they don't have," he said. Some students don't understand that the late $20 to $35 penalty fee is added to their balance every time they make a delinquent payment. Students who try to make payments on their low income can spend years trying to pay off their balance, he said. The more time it takes a cardholder to pay off their balance, the more interest credit card companies can charge. charge. "A person could owe $10,000 and after 10 years of making payments of $123 a month, end up paying $14,700," Baker said. Baker has seen many students who graduate $20,000 in debt because of the combined student loan and credit card www.creditcardsearchengine.com /education For more information on managing credit card debt, check Consumer Credit Counseling: www.hcks-ks.org payments. The problem only gets worse when they get their first paycheck. "Combined student loans and credit card debt get worse because they haven't gotten that mythical high-paying job," he said. www.eloan.com, click on credit card tab www.creditcardnation.com www.jumpstartcoalition.org/princ joles.cfm Jo Hardesty, director of Legal Services for Students, helps KU students who have gotten into debt. She said that the office helps students set budgets, contacts Consumer Credit Counseling and get their interest rates reduced. In extreme cases they can help the student file for bankruptcy, but paying off the debts has fewer consequences for future credit.

Klayder teaches several English classes currently and leads the London review. Class gives perspective English teacher urges students to find own voice in the world By Adam Pracht Kansan Staff Reporter While some students filled in the bubbles of Scantron sheets for their final examinations last spring, those in Mary Klayder's class learned lessons about life. required students to create a fiveminute presentation about their own world view. The class, English 205: Ways of Seeing, focused on how different authors portrayed their views of the world. The final examination for her class Susie Banks, Topeka sophomore, said the final project helped to focus her as she began her college years. She burned a CD of songs that defined her life. "As a freshman you're trying to think about what you want, and you're not really sure," she said. "It helped you develop a sense of yourself." Travis Weller, Garden City sophomore, brought a box full of objects significant in his life, such as pictures and books. He said the final project was typical of the way Klavder taught English. "She makes class enjoyable and interesting so it's not like you're going to class," he said, "But it's focused in a way that you still learn. It's unique." To discover Klayder's philosophy of teaching, one only needed to see her screen saver. The words, "It'll be fine..."

By Leah Shaffer Kansan staff writer Students have one less place to take care of late-night copying now that Kinko's, 911 Massachusetts St., is no longer open 24 hours a day. The shortened hours of 6 a.m. to midnight have already caused concern among customers, said Rich Greenwood, assistant manager. Dave Kelman, Shawnee junior and architecture major, said the new hours would be hard on his schedule because he usually goes to Kinko's after midnight. "I probably go at least once a week," Kelman said. "Now we have no night copy places in town." Twenty-four hour grocery stores like Dillons and Hy-Vee have copy machines, but Kelman said those machines didn't work for the kind of high-quality copies he and other architecture students needed to make. Kinko's was the last all-night copying store in town. Bill Brower, Kinko's district manager, said there were 24-hour Kinko's in Kansas City, but the Lawrence store would remain on shortened hours until it received more late-night business Kinko's opened in Lawrence in 1977 and had been open 24 hours a day since the early 1990s. Greenwood said he would like the store to return to the old hours. "I want what's best for the customer, but it is out of my control," he said.

Watkins offers cheaper birth control By Summer Lewis Kansan staff writer Birth control can be a necessary part of student life on a college campus, but it can also be one of the most expensive. INSIDETODAY At Watkins Memorial Health Center, students enrolled in six or more hours have the benefit of cheap prescriptions and free visits to a doctor. This cost is covered by campus fees. "I get my birth control at Watkins because it is very convenient and cheap," said Trisha Ruiz, Anthony junior. "It would cost too much every month if I had to get it elsewhere." "Birth control is the most frequent prescription filled at Watkins," Thrasher said. "For example, we Cathy Thrasher, Watkins pharmacist, said it was common for a college student health center to fill a large number of birth control prescriptions, as many students lead active sex lives.

Loophole in logging rules has neighbors concerned By Sarah Finks Kansan Staff Writer Douglas County will soon have new logging regulations thanks to the work of two KU professors, but the regulations will come too late to save one tract of a forested bald eagle habitat near Lone Lake. Terry Shistar, adjunct assistant professor of environmental studies, and Karl Birns, adjunct instructor of environmental studies, asked the Douglas County Commission on Monday to begin regulating logging after they watched their neighbor Dan Barrow, log 17 acres of protected forest. The land lies within five miles of Clinton Lake, and state law designates land within five miles of Clinton Lake as habitat for bald eagles, which are protected under the federal Endangered Species Act and the Kansas Nongame and Endangered Species Conservation Act. Normally, the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks would issue a permit if a project affected the bald eagles' preferred habitats. However, in this case the department could only require a permit had public funds been involved or if another agency had required a permit. Logging location 40 LAWRENCE 10 Clinton 10 CLINTON LAKE Lone Star Lone Star Lake "If they're doing something with their own money on their own land, they can do what they want with their own land," said Chris Mam- KYLE RAMSEY/KANSAN moliTi, chief of the environmental services section of the department. Barrow, who owns Barrow Trading Company in Denison, logged his 17-acre property at 661 E. Diagonal Road without obtaining permits and without plans for mitigation such as replanting trees or providing other habitat for the bald eagle. "We had no violation of any permit process," he said. "We have nothing to defend ourselves about." Barrow said he did not need a permit. If the county commission enacts new regulations requiring a permit to log in Douglas County the department's permit process would be triggered in future cases. The commissioners want to make sure there will be a clear distinction between commercial logging and personal use, and also want to include an exemption for Christmas tree farming. Keith Dabney, director of Douglas County Zoning and Codes, recommended a conditional use permit for commercial logging, which would include notifying property owners within so many feet of the operation, protecting streamways and possibly making them replant trees. Right now, neither the state nor Douglas County regulate commercial logging. Shistar said she used to walk her dog in the area where the logging took place. "If you came out here in the summertime and went under those trees, it stank," she said. "It smelled like a zoo or something because of all the bird droppings coming down from the trees, but it was really neat." Bob Eye, an environmental lawyer based in Topeka, said the situation pointed out the weakness in critical habitat policy. "From a policy perspective, it seems to me that the state's designation of critical habitat doesn't mean much if it only comes into play when another permit is applied for." Eye said.

But the center begins the second half of its season on Sunday, Jan. 20, with a performance by a group without as much fame the Phoenix Bassoon Quartet from the University of Costa Rica. Upcoming shows The quartet will come to the University because of a private invitation from Chancellor Robert Hemenway, said Jeff Weinburg, executive assistant to the Chancellor. "The Chancellor issued an invitation to the group when he was in Alice Walker 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 31. Free with ticket voucher.

"He was there for an academic symposium celebrating the 40th anniversary of an academic partnership between the University of Costa Rica and the University of Kansas." Willie Nelson's turn at the Lied Center stage is at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 30. Nelson's concert is not a part of the center's series, which means the show's producers rented the stage for his show. Alice Walker, the author of The Color Purple, will speak at 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 31. Danny Glover will speak Thursday, Feb. 7. Grove will speak. Michele Traband, ticket director for the center, said both events were free with ticket vouchers. She said the Lied Center Series this semester also included the musical act Stomp, three-time Grammy nominee Nnenna Freelon and Squonk in Biasmorgasbordwunderwerk. "Stomp is popular because of its notoriety," Traband said. "It is still on Broadway and has been on all the late night talk shows." Traband said that Squonk was a unique, carnival-like show that would bring together puppetry, dance, music and humor. Tickets are available at the Lied Center box office, the Student Union Activities office in the Kansas Union or at the Murphy Hall box office. Tickets are also available through Ticketmaster and tickets.com. Contact Tims at jtims@kansan.com. This story was edited by Justin Henning.

Some activities are presented in conjunction with the holiday by the Ecumenical Fellowship, a local religious council. These events include an educational program and a gospel musical. The Douglas County Commission voted to give $1,250 to help pay for the fellowship's activities this year. Some members of the Lawrence County Commission were rightfully concerned that providing funds for these activities would not be in the best interest of the community. Last year, events at the Lied Center included a speaker who advocated that evolution not be taught in school and that the Ten Commandments be posted in all courtrooms. Other speakers led the crowd in faith-specific prayers. Because this event received public money, the activities planned should have been representative of the intent of the holiday. They should have focused on the civil rights aspects of King's work and not on religious issues. Public money should not go toward events that have strong religious undertones. King was an inspirational leader for people of all faiths, and to concentrate on his role as a Christian reverend would do a disservice to the entire community. Commissioner Jere McElhaney voted against the funding plan in a 2-1 vote during Monday's meeting of the county commission. He said he did not think that public funds should be allocated to this type of celebration because any similar public event would then expect money as well. "We have to draw the line somewhere." McElhaney said, "especially with the current financial situation across the state." He said his family participated in the events and donated to them privately, but he thought that public money should be put to other uses. "It's a fantastic celebration, and I encourage people to attend, but when it comes to public financing, we can't say yes to every group wanting money," McEhlaney said. The speakers at these events may not intend to make people uncomfortable, but the content might seem overly religious or political to non-Christians. Events should inform and educate about King and his life's work and goals. He was a Christian minister and often mixed his messages of equality and civil rights with religious sermons. Arguably, the two are interconnected, but this holiday ought to be about King's contribution to society. These events should be of a comfortable nature to everyone regardless of their faith or political views. Using public funds to support activities commemorating Martin Luther King Jr. Day is acceptable as long as the events are geared toward King and civil rights. The holiday should not be used as an excuse to preach religious ideals and political views. Sara Zatar for the editorial board. HAZ-MAT Barbie! WES BENSON/KANSAN PERSPECTIVE Opinion page brings back old favorites with a new twist Sometimes, you just get annoyed in life. And sometimes you get mad. Like when your tuition is going to increase. Or when you're nearing graduation and can't find a job. Or even simple things like missing the bus, getting a parking ticket or ending up having to take an 8 a.m. class on Fridays. Oh, the life of a college student. It's fun, it's wonderful, but let's face it, sometimes it sucks. You complain or brag to your friends, significant others and roommates about what's going on in your life. You should consider expressing yourself in the University Daily Kansan as well. Right here on page 4A of the Kansan, your peers will be speaking their minds every day in columns, editorials, cartoons and, yes, your old friend the Free for All. Don't let your friends and enemies have all the fun. We want to hear from you, but not just in the Free for All. We want your letters and guest columns because people tend to take opinions more seriously if someone is willing to attach their name to their thoughts. So when you're ticked off by the administration, the Kansan, "the COMMENTARY PETE HARRIS Kursten Phelps kphelps@kansan.com man" or anything else, let us know. When you love or hate something in the paper, let us know. The Free for All is filled every day with such profound observations as, "I forgot what I was going to say, oh wait ... no, I forgot," "Has anyone ever tried to cook a giraffe?" and "Sometimes I feel like a nut. Sometimes I'm drunk." You'll see more stunning thoughts like those this semester. But we also hope that by cutting back on the number of comments printed in the paper, we'll get more remarks that actually say something. On the opinion page this spring you'll also see a few features from years past. You'll a see a Kansan report card that passes and fails news items from the Hill, Lawrence and around the world. Each week the page will also feature "By the Numbers," a quick 100k at some interesting statistics. One day a week, you'll be able to read two editorials that argue opposing sides of an issue that matters to readers. The goals for the opinion page are many, but the most important is to reflect the entire student body with our diverse staff members and including as much reader feedback as possible. We hope that the columns, editorsials and other features will provoke readers to agree or disagree with the writers. We hope our page can make you laugh, but more importantly, we hope it makes you thinb Countless things happen every day at KU and elsewhere to stir anger, relief or joy in all of us. The Kansan opinion staff is striving to tap into those issues and reflect what students think. But we can always use your help. Take a minute to write a letter or guest column to vent on all those opinions brewing inside, and send it to opinion@kansan.com or the Kansan newsroom in 111 Stauffer-Flint Hall.

College is a time, unlike the rest of our lives, when we have a chance to start over again every few months. COMMENTARY This starting over can allow us to continue the success of past semesters with fresh outlooks and new faces. If a past semester was a failure, we can easily have a renewed sense of hope. Part of this hope comes in the promises we make to ourselves about how we are going to change our academic habits. One would imagine these resolutions would center on studying more, joining some clubs or some other academic endeavor. M James Manning opinion@kansan.com Instead, I encourage everyone to do something more practical — and that something is to do something. Soon most of us will be entering the work force. As professionals we likely will have fewer liberties. Maybe I should be more clear. My epiphany concerning free life and procrastination came when I mentioned to a friend that I was going to attend a concert. He mentioned how We will have less opportunities to let ourselves go. Life will be less kind to us when we procrastinate. Although I felt sorry for him, at that moment I was mostly thankful that I had learned the art of killing procrastination. Let's face it — most of us have skipped *fun* activity because of procrastination. And the next day we almost always wish we would have just gone to that activity. Long ago, in my dark days as a procrastinator, I would always act out a similar scenario. The night before a project was due, I would have to get it done. I start off working on it just fine, but then I decide I'm hungry and grab a carton of ice cream. While I'm working on the ice cream, I soon realize Will & Grace is on and begin to watch television, promising myself I'll get back to work after the show. Just watching Will & Grace soon turns into just watching Will & Grace, Just Shoot Me and ER. After I've had enough television, I decide I need to check my e-mail in case I got anything important. After reading three forwards and an advertisement for a credit card, I return to my project. I work again for about 10 minutes before getting a call from my friend. I tell him how tired I am from doing homework all night, and we continue to talk for an hour. I also listen to my peers talk about After that I am too tired to finish my work, so I get ready for bed. After getting under the covers I am no longer tired and notice a new copy of Entertainment Weekly. About 30 minutes later, I turn out the lights and lie in bed thinking about what I am going to do about my project. The next morning I get up early in a mad scramble to finish the work. I eventually turn in the project, feeling a little embarrassed about the low quality and a little perturbed about not going to an activity the night before because I really didn't get anything done anyway. how they put five hours into their papers, knowing full well most of them just procrastinated like I did. Yes, most of us have been there, and it is hell. The simple solution to the seemingly ceaseless problem of procrastination isn't preposterous, though. It's simple: Just end it. Ending procrastination is easier said than done, but it’s still a simple task. One way to work toward the elimination of procrastination is to write in your planner or on your assignment sheet a due date that is earlier than the actual due date for the assignment. Another small step in ending procrastination is scheduling a time in your day when you exclusively approach homework. Make a daily library trip become a bonus class you like so much you never skip. Soon, doing your work on time will become a habit, not a rarity, and you will again be able to enjoy life to its fullest. So go out there and do something — go to a movie, a concert or a play; drink a beer with your buds, or work on an assignment that is due next week. Just don't put it off any longer.

A goal of many religions is to provide answers. So every week the Kansan will ask adherents of different faiths for their thoughts on a moral or ethical question. These answers will illuminate differences and maybe surprising similarities between the beliefs of different people in all walks of faith and at all levels of spirituality. Stephen Skea Brandon Cox By Maggie Koerth Kansan staff writer LAURIE SISK/KANSAN Q. Is stem-cell research a moral way to save lives? How do you view the technique in the context of your religion? A. Stephen Skea, pastor, Fellowship Baptist Church of Lawrence, 710 Locust: "I believe stem-cell research has great potential, and I believe there are some definite advancements that can be made through stem-cell research. I also believe, though, that there are some ethical problems we need to address when we further the research in stem cells, and of course, there needs to be a distinction in how we proceed with that so we do not cross moral and ethical boundaries that would produce future ethical and societal problems. I believe at present—according to my understanding—the best advances in stem cell research have been done through what's called adult stem cells and these seem to contrary to the earliest scientific predictions—provide the best opportunities for stem cell development. Since I believe the Bible clearly gives us information that life begins at conception, then stem cell research should be done only on adult stem cells. To research on embryos for the purpose of harvesting cells results in the death of that embryo and the human embryo. I believe at the moment of conception that embryo is a developing human being. So for us to destroy that developing human being for the purpose of scientific advance and research is morally wrong. tice of destroying life for the purpose of furthering life." I would not be opposed to the furthering of stem cell research on adult stem cells or on cells derived from umbilical cords or the blood from the umbilical cord. There is a whole horizon that science can pursue without moving into the morally and ethically irresponsible prac- A. Brandon Cox, Lenexa sophomore and member of the Wiccan-Pagan Alliance: "It is my deeply held belief that if a god of the traditional sort exists he would want us to be inquisitive and curious into the nature of man and ourselves. To paraphrase Carl Sagan, any god who could possibly exist would want us to further our own knowledge. In Wicca, knowledge is kev. One is encouraged to learn about different arts and different religions and to study before making a decision. Religion does affect our views toward biological research and many things of this ilk simply due to the fact that we are encouraged to studv and to appreciate knowledge. By studying stem cells, we are able to understand the nature of man, the nature of the universe and the very nature of deity in general. If we can study things better and understand them better than we have furthered our religious goals. Neither Wicca nor Pagan religions say anything about stem-cell research, being much older than the subject. Therefore, it's difficult to say what the ancient Pagans would have said about such an issue. However, I feel they would have given the go-ahead simply because it would increase the capacity of the mind. The Druids believed that if there was something to be known then it was to be known — that part of the definition of man was an inquisitive being. There is no inherent wrong in studying that which is already proffered to us. If we have embryos that are given to us, which by nature might be defective, i.e. dead, I personally see nothing wrong with using that as a tool. I do not agree, and I believe many Pagans and Wiccans will agree with me, that killing for the nature of research would be right. These things present many moral conflicts which can be difficult to overcome. But I believe that it's a good thing, all in all, and Wicca will influence my decision because it will give me a greater desire to learn about how things work."

KLAYDER CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A moved steadily across the computer screen. "Take your work seriously, but not yourself," she said. Klayder's laid-back attitude affects her methods of teaching. She said she rarely lectured but preferred to discuss the literature. Klayder's love of literature developed from the time her brother taught her to read at the age of four. Because her father was frequently sick, she spent a lot of time in hospitals with nothing to do but read. With every book, Klayder wanted to talk about it with someone. She considers herself fortunate to do what she loves as a living. Along with her regular classes, Klayder has organized a class called The London Review since 1998. This class prepares for a trip to London during spring break. Students decide what area they will concentrate on while in London. When the students return, they create a book that recalls their experiences. Klayder said she had never studied abroad in college and regretted it. So when the study abroad program was looking for more short-term programs, Klayder took advantage of the opportunity to travel and share the experience with students. Although Klayder's classes have received high reviews, she said the highest compliment for her was when students came back years later to talk with her. Above all else. Klayder said that she wanted students to learn about themselves. "I like to teach by epiphany," she said. "I really want someone at some point in the class to come to some sort of revelation." contact@pachk aprecht@kansan.com. This story was edited by Anne Mergen- meier.

Myra Strother, chief of medical staff at Watkins, said there was a stigma in Kansas and throughout the Midwest that using birth control was not the proper way to avoid pregnancy. "The negative stigma that goes along with birth control makes no sense," Strother said. "A sexually active student can say that she is a good girl because she doesn't use birth control, but this isn't logical. By using birth control, students are thinking ahead and protecting themselves." Thrasher said Watkins offered many options for people wanting to protect themselves. Watkins sells a variety of contraceptives, including: - daily oral care - condoms - Depo-provera, a birth control shot given every three months - Lunelle, a shot given once a month The Food and Drug Administration has approved two new kinds of birth control, which Watkins will be offering within the next two months. One is a patch that women apply to their lower abdomen. It is changed weekly for three weeks, then removed for one week. Ruiz said she preferred taking birth control because of the safety it gave her. The other, called Nuva, is a vaginal ring that is inserted and stays in for a month before being replaced.

FRIDAY,JAN.18,2002 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 7A Powell visits Afghan leaders The Associated Press KABUL, Afghanistan — Secretary of State Colin Powell, the most senior U.S. official to visit Afghanistan in 25 years, promised Thursday the United States would help rebuild the country and wipe out the "contamination" of terrorism. Powell told Hamid Karzai, the interim Afghan leader, the United States would make a substantial financial commitment at next week's international aid donors conference in Tokyo and that U.S. forces would be relentless in pursuing the remnants of al-Qaida and the Taliban. "This country needs everything," Powell said on NBC's "Today" show. "It needs a banking system. It needs a health-care system. It needs a sanitation system. It needs a phone system. It needs road construction. Everything you can imagine." Prime Minister Karzai, obviously buoyed by Powell's visit, emphasized Afghanistan's deep needs during a joint news conference at the presidential palace. "The Afghan people have been asking for a staying commitment, a staying partnership, from the United States to Afghanistan in order to make the region safe, in order to make Afghanistan stand back on its own feet and continue to fight against terrorism or the return of terrorism in any form to this country," Karzai said. Powell assured Karzai that Washington would be steadfast. "We don't want to leave any contamination behind," Powell said of continuing military efforts to purge Afghanistan of terrorists. "That is in the interests of the Afghan people and certainly the mission we came here to perform." Powell became the first secretary of state to visit Afghanistan since Henry Kissinger in 1976. In Washington, the U.S. government released photos and video excerpts of five suspected al-Qaida members delivering what Attorney General John Ashcroft described as "martyrdom messages from suicide terrorists." Ashcroft called upon people worldwide to help "identify, locate and incapacitate terrorists who are suspected of planning additional attacks against innocent civilians." The United States holds bin Laden and al-Qaida responsible for the Sept. 11 terror attacks on the United States. Washington opened its military campaign in Afghanistan to rout the extremist Taliban regime which was sheltering bin Laden and his organization. In a continuing sign of lawlessness outside Kabul, two trucks belonging to the United Nations' World Food Program were hijacked by gunmen in northern Afghanistan, the U.N. said Thursday, in the latest report of banditry hampering aid operations in the country. U. S. troops on Thursday were helping Afghan forces in a disarmament campaign in one of the country's most potentially volatile regions, where weapons are plentiful and law enforcement is minimal. The joint U.S.-Afghan force was collecting weapons house to house in the southern town of Spinboldak, near the border with Pakistan in Kandahar province, once the heartland of the Taliban. Marine demolitions teams exploded old warheads for surface-to-air missiles discovered at a Taliban air-defense site, Marine officials said at a daily briefing in Kandahar, where the United States has its largest base in Afghanistan. Despite intense U.S. airstrikes on suspected al-Qaida hideouts in Afghanistan, how many of its members remain at large is unclear. Many may have fled into Pakistan and gone into hiding in the rugged territory. FBI releases suspect in terrorist attacks The Associated Press Shouting "nothing tops freedom," an Egyptian student forgave the FBI on Thursday for throwing him in jail after an aviation radio was found in his hotel room near the World Trade Center on Sept. 11. Abdallah Higazy, 30, was released late Wednesday after a month in detention because another hotel guest — a private pilot — told officials the radio was his. "To be absolutely honest, I don't blame the FBI for thinking it was mine." Higazy said. He offered to take two agents who interrogated him to dinner so everyone could "bury the hatchet." However, his lawyer, Robert Dunn, said he wanted to know how investigators came to believe the handheld radio was found in a safe in Higazy's room at the Millennium Hilton Hotel when it actually belonged to someone staying one floor below his client. Higazy, the son of an Egyptian diplomat and a former serviceman in the Egyptian Air Corps, had been charged with lying to investigators looking into the attack on the trade center. This week, prosecutors said a hotel employee said he found the radio on a table in Higazy's room on the 51st floor. The hotel was evacuated Sept. 11. The Associated Press A federal agency with top engineering technology will help with the enormous task of studying the collapse of the World Trade Center towers, officials said Thursday. The initial investigation, which has been criticized for being too small in scope,was coordinated by a nonprofit civil engineering group funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Now, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which has examined building collapses worldwide following fires, earthquakes and other disasters, will conduct its own study to supplement the group's work. Despite the widely accepted notion that no skyscraper could have withstood a fuel-laden jet slicing into its core, federal officials and victims' families have wanted answers to exactly why the 110-story twin towers fell. The 23-member team already investigating the collapse expects to issue a report in April. However, it likely will make recommendations for further research rather than provide answers, said John Durrant, executive director of the Structural Engineering Institute at the American Society of Civil Engineers, the sponsor of the inquiry. Marines mourn 7 lost when plane crashed last week The Associated Press SAN DIEGO — With grim faces, Marines gathered yesterday to honor seven comrades who died when their refueling plane crashed last week in Pakistan. In dress uniforms and camouflage fatigues, the troops stationed at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego passed quietly into the base movie theater for a solemn service with relatives of the crash victims. "The price of liberty and justice is often paid for with the lives of our nation's youth," Rear Adm. Louis V. Iasiello, the head chaplain of the Marine Corps, told the more than 1,500 people in attendance. His words were followed by a rendition of "Amazing Grace," readings from the Bible, and remarks by officers from refueling squadron VMGR-352, also known as the Raiders. On the grass outside the theater, the Marine Corps laid seven pairs of empty black combat boots, M-16 rifles, and helmets to honor their fallen colleagues. On the stage inside were framed photos of the Marines, each adorned with a set of military dog tags and a bouquet of flowers. "All the things we take for granted, these guys aren't going to do again," base spokesman Maj. T.V. Johnson said. The Jan. 9 crash on a mountainside in southwestern Pakistan was the largest loss of life for American troops in the U.S.-led war on terrorism. "We honor you and we swear by the love we have in our hearts for you, we will happily pick up your torch and we will never forget you," Capt. Kent Kroeker said. The cause of the crash remains under investigation. An all-volunteer crew left the base last week to take the place of the lost Marines. Those killed in the crash included radio operator Sgt. Jeannette L. Winters, 25, of Gary, Ind., the first woman killed since the war in Afghanistan began in October. began in October. The others were Capt. Daniel G. McCollum, 29, of Irmo, S.C.; Gunnery Sgt. Stephen L. Bryson, 36, of Montgomery, Ala.; Staff Sgt. Scott N. Germosen, 37, of New York; Sgt. Nathan P. Hays, 21, of Wilbur, Wash.; Lance Cpl. Bryan P.

Red Cross visits prison camp Four members of the International Committee of the Red Cross arrived yesterday to meet with U.S. officials and interview dozens of al-Qaida and Taliban prisoners being jailed at this remote U.S. military outpost. The Associated Press The Red Cross team of four, including a doctor, arrived yesterday from Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The visit was the first by independent experts at Camp X-ray, which human rights advocates say provides substandard conditions for the prisoners. U.S. officials say the tight security is necessary and that the prisoners' rights are not being violated. Urs Boegl, head of the team, said findings of the prisoners' conditions would be shared with authorities but said he wasn't sure whether the findings would be made public. Behind coils of razor wire, prisoners with shaved heads and "For the most part, they do what they're told," said Sgt. Lisa Juve, an Army guard who spoke to journalists who were allowed to see the detention camp, but only from about 150 yards away. orange jumpsuits sat in open-air cells of chain-link fence. Military officials say the camp will soon be able to hold 320 inmates, or more if they are doubled up two to a cell. Workers also are building a permanent prison to hold up to 2,000. The United States is keeping more than 300 prisoners at the Marine base at Kandahar airport, in Afghanistan. nirty more prisoners arrived in Guantanamo from Kandahar yesterday bringing the inmate population here to 110. When they arrive, prisoners are given a half sheet of paper to write to family members or friends of their indefinite detention in Cuba. Five interpreters using Arabic and other languages help the guards communicate with prisoners, officials said. U.S. officials could not immediately say how many languages were being used. A Marine security guard, Cpl. Joe Lupo, said he was struck by the prisoners' size. "They're pretty small guys," he said, describing some of them as appearing to be in their teens. Governments have identified seven of the prisoners as Yemeni and three as British. Saudis also are among the prisoners, Saudi officials said, and Australian officials have identified one prisoner as one of their nationals. U. S. officials say tight security is needed because some prisoners have threatened to kill Americans and they include some of the most dangerous al-Qaida and Taliban fighters. Amnesty International said that the temporary cells - 8-by-8 feet - are too small. KU seeking aid for research center The Associated Press The University of Kansas is seeking $65 million from the Legislature toward construction of a $150 million biomedical center that officials said would put the state on the leading edge of research into such diseases as cancer and AIDS. cancer. "In 20 to 25 years, we will see the pharmaceutical industry disappear," said Michael Welch, vice chancellor for research. "We will no longer use chemicals, but proteins, to repair damage." The proposals call for the state issue more than $100 million in bonds more than five years, starting in 2004. The new research centers would be required to obtain federal funds to cover operating expenses. The University joined Wichita State University and Kansas State University to make proposals at a meeting with state legislla tors and university officials yesterday at the Kansas State student union. "This is a blue chip investment that will exceed expectations and benefit Kansas." About 75 members of the House and 28 senators rode two Kansas National Guard buses from Topeka to the Kansas State student union for the daylong presentations. "We cannot afford to not invest in research capital," Roberts said. Other proposals included research for a cure for cancer, disease-resistant crops and the production of a supersonic air cruiser. School officials asked the state to invest $100 million. State Board of Regents members and deans of university colleges that would conduct the research also attended. The legislators also heard from Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., who said the investment would bring more federal dollars to the state. More than 100 legislators listened as officials from the three universities outlined proposals for new research centers on life sciences, food safety and aviation. ked Lyon Tavern 944 Mass.832-8228 Supportive Educational Services http://www.clas.ukans.edu/services 864-3971 7 Strong Hall Free Tutoring · academic advising · personal counselling · workshops · resource library Fed Lyon Cavern MALE DANCERS Ladies Stick Around For: Female Amateur Contest Monday Night $1 Shots BOTTLE BEERS SUNDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY Bada Bing Don't Miss This Show!

Jeff Denton sports@kansan.com Forget UCLA, Sooners pack surprise punch At a school where football reigns, another sport has captured the throne in the college sports kingdom. Basketball craziness has struck Sooner country. Oklahoma's basketball team is for real. No joke. This team is a contender. Underappreciated coach Kelvin Sampson has his players believing in his team's system and a country believing in his team's credibility. And the way Oklahoma has climbed 20 spots to No.5 has been by mimicking its football team. CHRIS BURKET/KANSAN Play well on the road. Protect your home floor. Control the game with defense. Energize the game with offense. But most importantly, sprinkle knowledge on a batch of young talent and the wins come in bunches. Thirteen in a row, to be exact. Oklahoma is the hottest team in the country. Its lone defeat came more than two months ago against Michigan State in East Lansing, Mich., where the Spartans have won 53 of their past 54 games. Jeff Boschee, senior guard, shoots a free throw near the end of a game. Boschee recently made his 270th three-pointer to break the all-time record at Kansas, previously held by Billy Thomas. And Oklahoma has not just feasted on scrubs. Oklahoma shredded No. 2 Maryland at home, pounded Arkansas by 15 and clawed for a two-point victory at Connecticut. Sure, the athletes on the court control the outcome of the game, but no coach is more instrumental to his team than Sampson is to Oklahoma. KANSAS 13 Sampson, who kind of resembles celebrity cook Emeril Lagasse with bronzed skin, is the chef with all the right ingredients. Sampson has won at Oklahoma before — in the past two seasons, Oklahoma won the Big 12 Conference tournament once, eclipsed the 25-win mark and its 1999 squad advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament. But the X's and O's sage, whose teams have succeeded with defense and fundamentals, has never been stocked with this much talent. Ebi Ere (pronounced Ebb-ee air-Rah), a junior college transfer and 6-5 swingman, owns both one of the most colorful names and one-on-one games in the Big 12. Ere relishes playing on the road. He torched Arkansas for 29 points and poured in 24 against Connecticut. Point guard Hollis Price, a 6-foot-1 junior, is as capable taking the ball off the dribble to the basket as he is pulling up from anywhere outside the three-point arc. He looks as effortless launching threes as he does flicking foul shots. One of the more intriguing keys to Oklahoma's success has been sophomore center Jabahri Brown. His game is unpolished, but the 6-10 transfer, whose arms are festooned with tattoos and has legs the size of his cornrows, does not just jump to get rebounds. He explodes off the floor as if it were a trampline. Unlike Kansas teams of the recent past, this year's squad has enough punch and athleticism to tangle with any team in the country. Forget UCLA or the upcoming Border Wars with Missouri — Oklahoma will be Kansas' toughest opponent until the March Madness field has been trimmed to just the nation's elite. But Kansas fans need to live in the present, not the future. The team has so much depth that 6-9 post Aaron McGhee, last year's leading scorer, is the team's third option. Appreciate the great team you follow, but cheer with a degree of humility. Don't gloat. Don't boast. Don't expect to win every game, especially tomorrow at noon. easy game, especially toons in it. And don't be stunned if your team falls. Denton is a Dallas senior majoring in journalism. Contact him at sports@kansan.com Kansas to play red-hot Sooners By Doug Pacey Kansan sportswriter It has been a long time since Kansas has had a stretch of games like the one that will end tomorrow. Ranked teams like No. 11 UCLA, No.6 Oklahoma State and No.5 Oklahoma don't even come one after another in the NCAA Tournament. Well, they might if a team made it to the Final Four, but Kansas hasn't been there since 1993. Going to Atlanta in late March is the goal of the No. 4 Jayhawks (14-2 overall, 3-0 Big 12 Conference) and playing some of the best teams in the country is one way to try to ensure a chance to play in the Georgia Dome. "It definitely helps us keep our intensity up, keep our focus, knowing that we have high-caliber teams coming at us consistently," said freshman forward Wayne Simien. "It helps keep our guard up, keep our focus up, and I think it has done us some good." It sure has so far. Three days after losing 87-77 to the Bruins in Los Angeles, the Jayhawks beat the Cowboys 79-61 in Stillwater, Okla. — the worst home loss of coach Eddie Sutton's 12-year career at Oklahoma State. Williams said his team learned from the mistakes it had made against UCLA and played its best game defensively this season against the Cowboys. Kansas, which leads the nation in scoring with 90.8 points per game, also showed the ability to score against a team known for its defense — the Jayhawks totaled 53 points in the first half against a team that gives up an average of 61.4 per game. Though impressed and pleased with the Jayhawks' play Tuesday night, Williams said his team's effort wasn't the only reason for the lop-sided win. "I'm very pleased with our play," he said. "I think a huge part of (the win) was our play, but I think the moon was right Tuesday night also. I'd like to have it right for us several other times later in the year." Kansas better not need any astronomical help against the No. 5 Sooners on Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse because the game starts at noon, long before the sun goes down and this, along with the UCLA and Oklahoma State games, is the kind of game that SEE BASKETBALL ON PAGE 8B Sooners seek win at KU No.5 Okinoma squad aims to improve a promising season against Kansas By Brent Wasko Kansan sportswriter This year's Oklahoma team isn't the best that Kelvin Sampson has coached. But, as its players develop, it could be. "We have a very strong basketball program here," Sampson said. "I'm not trying to boast, but this team is going to have to be really good to be better than some of our past teams. But this team certainly has the The No. 5 Sooners will be able to gauge their potential tomorrow in a game with major Big 12 Conference implications in Allen Fieldhouse against No.4 Kansas. potential to be one of our best ever." Sampson has had good reason to boast about his team this season. Oklahoma carries the nation's second-longest winning streak, claiming 13 straight, heading into its game against the Jayhawks. Sooner guard Ebi Ere, who has been a bright spot for the squad since transferring during the offseason from Barton County Community College in Kansas, said the team's versatility has been its strength. "We can play both styles of basketball," Ere said. "We can play inside and play outside. We can speed it up or we can slow it down." Ere, who was named the Foxsports.com National Player of the Week last week, is one of five former SEE SOONERS ON PAGE 8B Nine Kansas teams earn high GPAs By Ali Brox Kansan sportswriter Nine of Kansas' 16 sports teams finished the Fall 2001 semester with grade point averages better than 3.0, led by the women's cross-country team. The runners earned a 3.57 GPA, the highest team mark in the Athletics Department's history.The previous high was a 3.41 by the women's golf team. "What the women's crosscountry team did was outstanding, incredibly outstanding," said Paul Buskirk, associate athletics director. Swimming and diving coach Cathy Burgess was pleased by her team's high academic performance. Athletes' GPAs GPAs Nine of Kansas’ 16 sports teams completed the fall semester with GPAs better than 3.0. With the exception of men’s cross country, all of the teams were women. ■ Women’s cross country: 3.57 ■ Swimming and diving: 3.24 ■ Track and field: 3.21 ■ Tennis: 3.20 ■ Softball: 3.13 ■ Men’s cross country: 3.11 ■ Rowing: 3.07 ■ Soccer: 3.06 ■ Women’s golf: 3.05 "This is a highlight," Burgess said. "This semester was really good." The combined GPA for all student-athletes was 2.83 and 29 athletes earned a 4.0 GPA. Forty-seven percent (207) of student-athletes were named Jayhawk Scholars for the fall semester, an honor given to students who earn a GPA of 3.0 or better. Student-athletes who have completed their athletic eligibility and those athletes who are under medical hardship are not counted as part of the percentage because those athletes do not face the same time constraints as competing student-athletes. "Almost 50 percent of our student-athletes achieving a 3.0 or better is very impressive."Buskirk said. The Jayhawk Scholars and the women's cross-country team will be honored during halftime of the Feb. 18 men's basketball game. "It's a fun opportunity for the student-athletes to be paraded out in front of the crowd," Buskirk said. "We can show there's more to the department than just rowing, basketball, football and softball. There are a lot of student-athletes who are working very hard in the classroom in addition to the practice field." Along with the women's cross-country team, the women's golf (3.05), rowing (3.07), softball (3.13), soccer (3.06), swimming and diving (3.24), tennis (3.20), and track and field (3.21) teams had averages higher than 3.0. The lone men's team to average better than 3.0 was the men's cross-country team (3.11). Contact Brox at 864-4858 or abrox@kansan.com. This story was edited by Brandon Stinnett. Women to try for first Conference win Kansas hopes to husk Nebraska at home in weekend game By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter In a league sprinkled with seven nationally-ranked teams, the Jayhawks face no easy matchup in Big 12 Conference play. Luckily for coach Marian Washington and her squad, tonight's meeting with Nebraska (11-7, 1-4 in Big 12 Conference Play) may offer a seldom-seen opportunity for success. The Cornhuskers sit one spot above Kansas at the bottom of the Big 12 standings. Nebraska's one conference win this season came at the expense of a talented Iowa State team (14-3). The Jayhawks hope to stop the Cornhusker duo of Keasha Cannon, the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year, and preseason Freshman of the Year Katie Robinette. "We have to look at the fact that we're underdogs, and we have nothing to lose," senior center Kristin Geoffroy said. "Really they don't expect anything out of us so it's wide open what could happen." Currently the Jayhawks hold the only overall losing record in the league and remain the sole team in the Big 12 without a conference win. The top three teams in the league — Kansas State, Texas and Oklahoma — are all "We have to look at the fact that we're underdogs and we have nothing to lose."

New information shatters old assumptions. Old fears dissolve as if by magic. All of a sudden, you emerge as a warm, cuddly cutie with a heart of gold. Of course, many people already know that's what you are. Now, everybody will. Also, an old source of income starts producing again. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 7. A lot of the big decisions are being made in private, by you as well as others. This gives you more freedom to change your mind without having to explain everything to everybody. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7. Slow down, and go through your list of pros and cons. Eventually you'll get sick of reviewing things and will simply choose. You can make corrections later. Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 7. A friend can clue you in on the latest scoop. You were missing pieces of the puzzle and couldn't figure it all out. Meet privately with a person who's in the know. It'll all start to make sense. Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7. Don't worry if things seem to be stalled. All in due time. For some of the stuff on your list, the time isn't right yet. Besides, your focus might change. Listen to a person with strong opinions. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 5. Keep shopping till you find the right thing at a price you can afford. You hate pinch- ing pennies, but you can when you have to. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7. Mercury, your ruling planet, is going retrograde. From our vantage point here on Earth, it appears to go backward. It's in the area of your chart that indicates you may encounter technical difficulties at work over the next two weeks. Be prepared. 蟹 Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22)—Today is a 6. Postpone your date for tonight. This weekend will be much better. Besides, you don't have time. You need every minute to keep a promise you've made. Let somebody know he can pamper you tomorrow. Two people standing together Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6. Mercury's going retrograde. For you, that signals technical difficulties at home for the next two weeks - small appliances, computers, anything with an engine. Better get your car serviced and pick up batteries for the flashlights. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6. Take your time, and read the instructions again. It's not cheating to get a more experienced person's help. Going through your own notes isn't a bad idea. You may already be able to think of something you forgot. 舞 LIVING WILD CARD MACHINE 2 P JUSTICE Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7. It's a good thing you're feeling inquisitive, because you'll be running into more problems. Most of them have to do with money. You'll get what's coming, but it may take longer than expected. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 7. As you know, the only thing that's constant is change. Mercury, the planet symbolizing the mind, is in your sign, and it's going retrograde, so you may experience some confusion for the next couple of weeks. Use this time to sort, file and fix things. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7. You're a nice person, but you don't have to be a pushover. You don't need permission to say what's on your mind. Don't be embarrassed if you feel nervous or stumble with words. People get the point.

While students were off on winter break, the men's team took home first place out of 37 teams at the National Colgate Invitational Tournament in Maple Shade, N.J., from Dec. 27 to 28.

"When we're all bowling well, I don't think there's another team in the country that's as good as our team. When we get it going, we can strike a lot." The women have been as equally impressive. They have equaled the men's efforts at each match. "Each and every one of us has put in a lot of hard work and dedication to the team," said Nicole Mosqueda, Topeka junior. "We just set our goals and we're going to everything we can to reach them." "I think it's a lot of hard work and communication," said Tiffany McBurney, Albany, Ore., senior. "We've stressed communication all year long; we're going to continue to stress it for the rest of the year. Communication is definitely the key. You've got to learn not only to bowl your own game, but you have to learn to be able to help your teammates out." Men's and women's coach Mike Fine said he believed his teams were coming right along in the "helping your teammates" department. "There hasn't been one situation where we have just one guy or girl to carry us." Fine said. "We're good on both the men's and women's side that you roll the dice to see who's going to step up and a have a big game. Everybody's done it." Contact Schmidt at sports@kansan.com.

With shooters Raef LaFrentz, George McCloud and Voshon Lenard on the floor, the disgruntled point guard passed to Zendon Hamilton, who missed a potential game-winning 3-pointer Tuesday night. Hamilton took only 15 previous shots before misfiring with 5.8 seconds left in Charlotte's 99-96 victory over the Nuggets. "I wanted to get the ball back to Zendon to create a little space," said Van Exel, who has repeatedly demanded a trade the past four days. "People weren't in the right position, and Zendon was there." Van Exel wasn't the only one angry after the game. game. KUSA-TV in Denver broadcast a videotape of Nuggets coach Dan Issel shouting angrily at a fan. The tape shows Van Exel and another person trying to nudge Issel into a tunnel leading away from the arena floor. Nuggets spokesman Tommy Sheppard said late Tuesday the team was still gathering information about the exchange. "We'll make a response at the appropriate time once we have all the information," he said. Van Exel had 18 points and 15 assists, but Lee Nailon scored 20 points for the Hornets, and Elden Campbell made two late free throws. Elden Campbell made the mistake "Just another frustrating loss," said Van Exel, who hasn't altered his stance on a trade demand and admitted hearing boos at the start of the game. "I expected more, but a couple of boos won't hurt." Campbell scored 16 points before fouling out with 58 seconds left. PJ.

Lawrence municipal prosecutor Tom Porter had filed a motion to revoke Duncan's diversion agreement in September of last year. This came after Duncan was charged in Douglas County District Court. Duncan and former teammate Mario Kinsey had been arrested by KU Public Safety officers after a student reported that the two had stolen her purse and used one of her credit cards to order pizza.

In recognition of her struggles and triumphs, White will receive the Aventis Pharmaceuticals Courage Award next month at Galyan's Women Sports Award Celebration in Kansas City, Mo. White, a senior center on the Kansas women's basketball team, has seen it all in her five years with the program. Her freshman year of 1997- 98 was joyous, with the Jayhawks finishing 23-9 and advancing to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament. White played in 31 of 32 games and led the team in blocked shots. Her next season was full of frustration. She took a medical redshirt to rehabilitate a surgically repaired knee, and could only watch as her teammates finished 23-10 and made it to the second round of the NCAA tournament. "We should all be real proud that they recognized a young person like Nikki, and the struggles that she's endured," coach Marian Washington said. "We're going through struggles this year, but she's had to endure them for the last four or five years." "We'll be going to Kansas City to support her," Washington said. "I'm really glad they recognized her." White is averaging 6.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game this season. Her blocked shot in Wednesday night's game against Colorado moved her ahead of Lynn Pride and into fourth place on Washington is referring to White's damaged knee and the eight surgeries performed on it. She is the only Division I athlete in the country to play after undergoing cartilic replacement surgery, a complex procedure to help repair severely damaged cartilage in the knee. the award will be presented to White on Feb. 7 at the Women's Intersport Network for Kansas City annual luncheon. The awards luncheon recognizes local women for their accomplishments and contributions to sports and fitness in the Kansas City area. "One thing I think I can bring to this team is defense and shot blocking," said White, who has collected 94 blocked shots in her career, including 14 in her last five games. Kansas's all-time blocked shots list. The oldest player on a youthful Jayhawk squad, White earned a bachelor's degree in counseling psychology in May, and is currently taking graduate classes while playing her final season in a Kansas uniform. She was a Jayhawk Scholar and an Academic All-Big 12 selection last season, and has embraced her responsibilities of senior leadership. Washington said she thought that White's perseverance on the court reflected her resilience. "I want to lead vocally, but I also want to lead by example," White said. "She's constantly come back and tried to do whatever she can," she said. "I'm real proud of her." rwood@kansan.com. This story was edited by Justin Henning.

Former Williams Fund director Scott McMichael signed diversion papers today in response to three felony counts of making a false writing. As part of the agreement, McMichael will have to perform community service and restitution during ber. "Assuming he complies, at the end of two years the case will be dismissed," said Douglas County District Attorney Christine Kinney. The charges stem from discrepancies in travel expense vouchers submitted by McMichael on Sept. 7, 2000, Jan. 30 and Aug. 2, 2001. The vouchers totaled more than $8,000. McMichael's attorney, Bill Skepnek, said that bookkeeping errors were made, but that McMichael never intentionally asked for excessive travel voucher reimbursements. In addition to serving as director of the Williams Fund for five years, McMichael led the Career Placement Program for student-athletes and served as director of the K-Club for former letter winners. Last year, a University of Kansas audit of the athletic scholarship organization revealed the possible embezzlement. McMichael resigned as director of the Williams Fund on Aug. 10, 2001, and the Kansas University Athletics Corporation filed a report with the KU Public Safety Office the same day.

"We're looking forward to our first meet at home this weekend," coach Cathy Burgess said. "And we're going to be ready for that one. It's another conference rival." The team is looking to improve on last weekend's loss to Texas A&M. The Aggies took the meet 187-108. "We need to come back from last weekend where we didn't perform very well," senior diver Rebecca McFall said. "We know that Nebraska is a somewhat weaker team this year."

Nebraska won last year's dual meet against Kansas 125-118. As it has all season, Kansas' freshman class will play a major role against Nebraska. Kansas has eight freshmen on the team, with seven of them competing. "We have a big new class, it's a strong new class," Burges said. Freshman Amy Gruber said that the whole team was ready to get back in the water. "We're really excited," said Gruber, who turned in meet-high times in the 100-meter fly and 200-meter freestyle against the Aggies. "Losing to Texas A&M got our hopes down. We feel we have to come back. So we're really training hard, and we're just really ready for Nebraska." McFall said that the meet against Nebraska would be a good opportunity for the team to begin to focus on the remainder of the season.

NEBRASKA Both teams vie for elusive Big 12 wins Kansas women on the road to play struggling Nebraska By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter When the Kansas women's basketball team travels to Lincoln, Neb., tomorrow night, it hopes to come away with its first Big 12 Conference victory against an opponent also struggling in Big 12 play. Nebraska (11-7 overall, 1-4 in Big 12 play) will play Kansas after coming off a 67-41 defeat by Missouri on Tuesday night. After starting its season with a 10-3 mark, Nebraska has dropped four of its last five since Big 12 play began. "We need to shoot better, and take care of the ball a little better." Nebraska coach Paul Sanderford said. "Like Kansas, we haven't shot the ball very well in conference games, and we need to improve on that." The Cornhuskers are led by Keasha Cannon, a Kansas City Kan., native. Cannon had a remarkable career at Penn Valley Community College in Kansas City, Mo..—where she was a two time, first-team NJCAA AllAmerican —before signing with Nebraska. "She needs some more experience in the Big 12." Sanderford said. "She has brought a lot of athleticism to our team. She's an athletic guard that can shoot and rebound very well." Cannon, a junior guard, leads the 'Huskers with 12.4 points per game and 7.7 rebounds per game in her first season with Nebraska. "She's probably their best athlete," Kansas coach Marian Washington said. "She'll be one of their primary ball handlers." Both Kansas and Nebraska participated in the San Juan Shootout in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in December. Nebraska took second place in the tournament, winning two before falling to Tulane in the championship game. The Jayhawks went 1-2 in the tournament and finished sixth. "We need to shoot better, and take care of the ball a little better." Paul Sanderford Nebraska coach Notes Nebraska guard Shahidrah Roberts, Overland Park, has a severely sprained ankle, and will not play in tomorrow's game.

His output against Maryland on Thursday night was high on the list. The third-ranked Terrapins were unable to stop the All-American guard, who scored 34 points as the Blue Devils took over first place in the Atlantic Coast Conference with a 99-78 victory. Jason Williams had 34 points, eight assists and seven rebounds for the Blue Devils. "Jason was huge." Duke coach Mike Krzeyzewski said. "He just gave us the confidence. He played like a great player. A lot of kids put up numbers, but he did it in a great game." Williams had struggled some against the Terrapins in his career, shooting 39 percent in seven previous outings, but he was on this time. "More than scoring or assists, I did a good job on defense," he said. "I am getting a lot better with that. That's the part of my game that's improving a lot." In addition to shooting 13-for-23 from the field, Williams had eight assists, seven rebounds and three steals. Williams helped lead a defensive charge that forced Maryland into 36 percent shooting in the second half and 21 turnovers that led to 30 points for the Blue Devils (15-1, 4-1). "You've got to score when you play Duke," Maryland coach Gary Williams said when asked about his team's second-half collapse. "The last two years we scored enough. "In the first half we scored consistently and we were in the game," he added. "Then we came out in the second half and I didn't think our energy level was as good as in the first half and you pay for it here." Lonny Baxter led Maryland (13-3, 3-1) with 24 points before fouling out with 3:46 left and his team down 15 points. UCLA edges Arizona State TEMPE, Ariz. — Billy Knight and Jason Kapono had seen enough close games to handle Arizona State's late comeback. The Associated Press Knight had 21 points and Kapono scored five of his 20 over the final 39 seconds as UCLA (No. 11 ESPN/USA Today, No. 9 AP) beat the Sun Devils 82-79 Thursday night, the Bruins' 11th win in 12 games. "Our trademark any time we're playing a team like this is we kind of build a lead, and then we tend to go off on our own," Kapono said. "We started shooting quickly and stuff, and then we found ourselves in trouble. "But we stayed poised and fought back and came out with a win, even if it was a nasty win." Matt Barnes had 19 points and nine rebounds for the Bruins (13-3, 5-1 Pac-10), while Dan Gadzuric scored 10 of his 14 points in the second half. "We always expect a tough game against a Rob Evans-coached team." UCLA coach Steve Lavin said. "The shoes are always squeaking when we come in here. We were fortunate." Chad Prewitt had 22 points and eight rebounds for the Sun Devils (10-6, 3-4), who rallied from a double-digit deficit twice in the second half only to fall short for the 25th time in their last 26 games against the Bruins. Kapono made four free throws with 39 seconds to go, including two on a technical foul after a fan threw coins onto the court, to give the Bruins an 80-72 lead that proved decisive. "That technical shouldn't happen." Evans said. "When the game is close, you let the players decide things. It was demoralizing when you work as hard as these kids worked."

St. John's slides by Boston College The Associated Press BOSTON — St. John's coach Mike Jarvis had some unsolicited advice for Troy Bell: Stay in school. "They start talking about kids in college heading to the NBA. I think that ST. JOHN'S RED STORM UNIVERSITY when that happens, it hurts kids. And it's hurting Boston College now," Jarvis said after St. John's beat the Eagles (No. 21 ESPN/USA Today, No. 22 AP) 64-57 Thursday night. "I hope, for Troy Bell's sake, he's not reading those things." Marcus Hatten had 18 points and eight assists and Alpha Ban- gura had 16 points for St. John's (12-4, 3-2 Big East), which fell behind 16-2 before improving to 3-0 against ranked teams this season. Bc Bell, the leading scorer in the conference and its preseason player of the year, scored just 12 points on 3-for-17 shooting. BC (13-4, 2-3) has lost three of its last four games, and Bell shot 31 percent in the losses, including 1-for-18 from 3-point range. "I take a lot of responsibility for how our team does," Bell said. "And I just don't feel like I'm holding up my end of the bargain right now." Jarvis said it wasn't that Bell wasn't ready for the NBA, or that the talk was going to his head. TICKETS HALF PRICE for KU STUDENTS Ironically, it was Jarvis who created a ruckus when he suggested two years ago that Notre Dame sophomore Troy Murphy was headed to the NBA. But on Thursday, Jarvis said, "Our game is getting weaker by the minute as the NBA takes kids form the cradle to the NBA. We don't need to lose Troy Bell to the NBA." "I'm just saying it's a distraction," Jarvis said, asking members of the Boston media to stop writing about the subject.

KUJHW MATT MAKENS/DEPARTMENT OF ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES KUJH-TV News GONGFARMER BY RANDY REIGER ANYWHERE BUT HERE Regier Museum to open McCarthy exhibit The Associated Press APPLETON, Wis. — In the early 1950s, a supporter gave Sen. Joseph McCarthy a brush — not to brush his teeth or to comb his hair but "To Brush off the Communists in Washington," as it says on a piece of paper glued to it. The Outagamie County Museum near McCarthy's hometown gathered the brush along with dozens of other items — including his boxing shoes and three war medals — for a two-year exhibit entitled "Joseph McCarthy: A Modern Tragedy." The show opens tomorrow. In the 1950s, McCarthy, a Republican from Grand Chute, Wis., hunted real and imagined communists in the government, Hollywood and elsewhere. McCarthyism and its tactics — indiscriminate accusations, sensationalism and inquisitorial investigative methods — ripped the nation apart and remain a matter of contention. The U.S. Senate censured McCarthy in 1954. He died of acute hepatitis in 1957, during his second term. Kim Louagie, a curator at the museum, said she tried to be fair when putting together the $25,000 exhibit. Despite McCarthy's negative image, a lot of people here liked him, she said. McCarthy was born in Grand Chute in 1908. After a year at Little Wolf High School in Manawa, he graduated from Marquette University in Milwaukee in 1935 with a bachelor of laws degree, served in World War II and became a senator in 1946. McCarthy's wife, Jean Kerr, gave many items to Marquette. Some pieces are on loan to the museum, including McCarthy's three World War II medals, the brush and his burial flag. The exhibit also includes his military footlocker and its contents — dress shoes, dress hat, machete, Japanese flag, a decoder and a pair of women's earrings. About 100 photographs also are part of the display. Some pictures are from the Army-McCarthy hearings in 1954, which were held after the Army charged McCarthy with interfering with operations as he searched for communists. Louagie said between 35,000 to 40,000 people a year visit the museum in Appleton, a city of about 70,000 in eastern Wisconsin.

Win them and you'll stay ahead of the pack. Lose too many and you'll get lost in the shuffle. "We know that winning those kind of games are the kind of games that are going to get us rings," Simien said. Coming out on the right end of those kind of games is about staying focused, both during practices and in the game. Jeff Boschee said that coach Roy Williams isn't as easy on the Jayhawks at practices before big games and he makes the team stay focused. "It's not something we have a choice to do," Simien said of taking it easy. "We have to keep that kind of intensity up when we're playing that kind of caliber team and if you slack off a little bit we'll get stuck with our backs against the ropes." Notes Notes Williams said Boschee will receive recognition at "It's not something we have a choice to do." Wayne Simien freshman forward Saturday's game for setting Kansas' record for all-time three-pointers made. "The only thing I wish with Jeff is that it is a little special when they break those kind of things at home," Williams said. "We'll try to do something similar to what we did when Drew scored his 1,000th point. It wasn't here in the fieldhouse ...When you're No. 1 in any category that's pretty doggone good." The Kansas Hall of Fame will honor Bill Bridges, a basketball All-American in 1961 and a three-time All-Conference player, at half time of Saturday's game. KANSAS 10 CHRIS BURKET/KANSAN Kirk Hinrich, junior guard, goes up against Oklahoma State's Andre Williams, junior forward, for two points. Hinrich scored 15 points and had four rebounds. Contact Pacey at sports@kansan.com Edited by Brandon Stinnett SOONERS continued from page 1B junior college players who have been a major part of Oklahoma's success this season. Ere, juniors Quannas White, Jason Detrick and Jozsef Szerdri and senior Aaron McGhee have all played significant minutes for the Sooners. "We got lucky in some instances," Sampson said. "White played at Midland where they use our identical offense. Ebi's an Oklahoma kid and knew a lot about our program and had seen us play numerous times." Kansas coach Roy Williams said he was impressed with the way Oklahoma's transfers had adjusted to playing at the Division I level. "The infusion of the JUCO talent is a little unusual," Williams said. "To get those guys to buy into as quickly as they have, the style and what Kelvin wans to do, is amazing." Oklahoma is the third straight ranked team Kansas has faced during the past week, but the Sooners schedule hasn't been much easier. On Nov. 21, Oklahoma defeated the then-No. 2 Maryland Terrapins at home, 72-56. Earlier this month, the Sooners picked up a big road victory against Connecticut, 69-67. "They are a real athletic team and defend well," said Kansas guard Jeff Boschee. "To do what they did on the road in a tough place like Connecticut shows a lot about the strength of that team." A win on the road against the Jayhawks would most likely be more significant for the Sooners than their previous victories against Maryland and Connecticut. Kansas and Oklahoma are tied at the top of the Big 12 with identical 3-0 conference records. "That's going to be a tough one, but I feel that we are ready," Sampson said of "We got lucky in some instances." Kelvin Sampson Oklahoma coach tomorrow's game. "We have played at UCONN, Michigan State and against Maryland, so we feel we are battle tested. This year's KU team is as good as I have ever seen them since I have been here at Oklahoma."

According to an International Questions for fitness clubs G JANUARY was- n't con- cerned yet about the new University of tion center to be o n Are club staff members friendly and helpful? - Do fitness staff members have appropriate educational backgrounds and/or certification? Are new members provided with a club orientation and instruction on how to use equipment? Does the club offer a sufficient number and variety of programs (aerobics, yoga, racquetball, pool, basketball courts, etc.) for you to remain motivated and achieve your goals? Source: International Health, Racquet and Sports Club Association report. Health, Racquet and Sports Club Association report, 11 percent of all memberships in the United States are added during the month of January. The New Year marks the rush for Americans to find and join a gym that fits their needs. In Lawrence, health club owners and managers are finding this same trend. "We get a ton of new memberships in January, which is easily the biggest month," said Crystal Barnes, manager at Body Boutique. "This is because of New Year's resolutions and our winters in Lawrence. Almost always when you come back from Christmas, it is too cold to work out outside." Marty Tuley, owner of Total Fitness Athletic Center, 2339 Iowa St., said he agreed January was a strong month for Lawrence health clubs. With these new January memberships and others throughout the year, about 10 to 20 percent of all Lawrence fitness club memberships are University of Kansas students, the owners said. Rick Sells, owner of Lawrence Athletic Club, 2108 W. 27th St., said he "We're not a student-oriented club," said Sells. "We have so many students that are from big cities. They are used to Mom and Dad having a club membership, so they are not willing to stand in line like they might be at a new center campus. I hope ON BACK PAGE ILLUSTRATION BY KYLE RAMSEY/KANSAN Some opt to pay a little extra for fitness By Melissa Shuman Kansan staff writer Although Robinson Center provides students with an oncampus site to exercise, private fitness center operators in Lawrence say that KU students join their facilities because of the hours and equipment they offer. Students at the University of Kansas pay a total of $78.50 for student recreational fees, which includes $1.50 for maintenance and equipment, $15 for the building of the new facility and $62 for the recreation and fitness center. Despite the fee, some students look off campus to work out. Until the new KU recreation center is opened, students have to rely on Robinson, the Burge Union fitness center, or find a fitness club in Lawrence. Lawrence Athletic Club, Total Fitness Athletic Center and Body Boutique are some of the fitness clubs in Lawrence that students join. Rick Sells, owner of Lawrence Athletic Club, said it was a good idea to visit clubs instead of just doing price comparisons by telephone. "You wouldn't buy a car or a house over the phone, so why would you buy a health club?" Sells said. He said that neither Lawrence Athletic Club locations give price quotes by telephone for that reason. The club offers a free trial membership for one week so that potential members can check out the facility. "We might have some of the higher prices in town, but we also have the most to offer." Sells said, "I want people to see what they're getting." The club's north location, 3201 Mesa Way, offers a pool, sauna, raquettball, basket Total Fitness Athletic Center, 2359 Iowa, offers a semester special for students for $189 from now until May 31. Owner Marty Tuley said Total Fitness emphasized attention and supervision to their health club users. "We offer a more hands-on approach than most fitness clubs. About 65 to 70 percent of our customers have a personal trainer." Tuley said. We do offer guest passes, but we believe that the club member should get proper instruction from a certified trainer." Tuley added that trainers check up on the club member through e-mails each month. Tuley also said that club members can't weigh themselves at Total Fitness because there are no scales. Instead, he said members relied on personal goals and fat caliber tests as better measurements of fitness. "I got to Total Fitness Athletic Center because the hours are much more available and the equipment is so much better than Robinson," said Lauren SEE FITNESS ON BACK PAGE Students leave academic life to serve country By Rachel Keesee Kansan staff writer At least five KU students were called to active duty during winter break, said Annette Bergman, Veterans Affairs certifying official for the University of Kansas. Kansas. "We can't know the exact number, because the call-ups were during Christmas, but I know there were definitely five and maybe as many as 10." Bergman said. Those students had to drop their spring schedules and heed the call of the U.S. military." "If you get called up to active duty, the University policy is you bring your orders to the registrar or your school, and you'll be dropped from your "You'd get a full refund of tuition, and depending on when it is in the semester, you have the choice of just dropping or taking an incomplete," Bergman said. "If you're living in student housing, any money you've paid fortune you won't be living there will be refunded to you and you'd be let out of your lease. There's really not a lot involved in it." classes," Bergman said. "But we know students won't always have time to do that, so we'll accommodate those students." When students are called up during the semester, the University attempts to ease their transitions from students to soldiers.

"In basic training, I didn't take everything as seriously as I should have, because I was just a reserve," Keown said. "I thought of it as a part-time job. I mean, I know the basics, but they'd have to refresh me on the logistics." While Keown was in basic training last summer, some of her friends in other units were called to active duty. "The whole reason I joined was for the college money," Keown said. "I love my country and I'd be willing to serve, and I always knew there was a chance of a war breaking out, but I never knew it would happen so soon." Keown said she wouldn't be mentally prepared for the experience. "I mean, I'd go, but it's not something I ever expected," she said.

Day. The 17th annual service also included gospel music from the Martin Luther King Children's and Adult Community choirs and scripture readings. "At this annual event we are all brought together with the need to remember Martin Luther King Jr. an American hero," said Chancellor Robert Hemenway, the keynote speaker. Hemenway went on to discuss the importance of King's dream, especially after Sept. 11. He said that the reason for national holidays such as Martin Luther King Jr. Day is to examine what we believe. "I thought it was a nice celebration of a man who's dream is still not reached," said Rustain Morgan, Burlington senior. "We've come a long way, but we still have a long way to go." Later on in the ceremony, Representative Barbara Ballard, state representative from Lawrence and associate vice chancellor at the University, led the audience in the song "Lift Every Voice and Sing." Other speakers included Dr. Karen Swisher, president of Haskell Indian Nations University; Randy Weseman, superintendent of Lawrence public schools; Douglas County Commissioner Bob Johnson; and Mayor Mike Rundle. "Certainly discrimination is less and programs like affirmative action have brought us a long way, but as numerous speakers have mentioned, there's always more work to be done," Rundle said. Hemenway concentrated on the stories behind King's major texts including "Letter from a Birmingham jail" and his "I Have a Dream" speech. Hemenway said that King wrote "Letter" in response to a newspaper article about the white clergy members urging blacks to stop protesting. "Martin Luther King showed us how to fulfill the promise of American democracy." Hemenway said. "We need to continue to work on it. Racism is not dead. Because of the way our country was started, it's something we have to always struggle against." Spann said. Misti Spann, an African-American KU graduate who attended the event said that she felt privileged to have the benefits she has today, and that those benefits should not be taken for granted.

TUESDAY, JAN. 22, 2002 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 3A Script draws from life By Adam Pracht Kansan staff writer (1) JOHN NOWAK/KANSAN Patrick Davis (left) and Ryan Butts perform a scene from Kirby Fields' Morning Glorie at Liberty Hall. The English Alternative Theatre play has been selected to run Jan. 24 at a regional festival in Lincoln, Neb. Kirby Fields has loved to tell stories since the sixth grade. Today he takes one of his stories, a play called Mourning Glorie to Lincoln, Neb., to compete at the regional Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival. "I've spent so much time with this show. I'm happy it's going to reach a broader audience," said Fields, a Joplin, Mo., graduate student in English. The festival begins tonight and runs through Jan. 27. Fields' play was one of eight selected for the regional competition from more than 80 plays around the Midwest. If successful at regionals, the play will go on to the national festival April 15 to 27 in Washington, D.C. "It may sound morose and depressing, but it doesn't wallow in its misery." Fields said. "Ultimately it's hopeful." The story centers on a man who finds himself compelled to attend the funerals of people he doesn't know because he has the ability to comfort those in grief. Fields said that the telling of stories played a central part in the man's ability to comfort. "It itse to be kind of the foil to death," he said. "If the person is no longer there, then the storytelling is a way to keep that person alive." The idea for the play came from a personal grief — one of Fields' friends committed suicide. He said that when he and the friend's family heard a minister speak at the funeral, he thought it didn't have "anything to do with (him)." After the funeral, he talked with friends and told stories from his friend's life. He said he found the experience more beneficial to the friends than the funeral service itself. Fields' play began as a short story, but later he realized that it would work better as a play. It went on to production in September. But Fields' never expected that comfort and mourning would have a new meaning starting on Sept. 11. His play, he said, became a timely topic after so many American lives were taken by the attacks on the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon. David Huffman, Kansas City, Kan. senior said that the play left him with questions. "the scenes are really good and the tension is high, but I think there's something about the end that still leaves me a little wonder-ing," he said. Fields said he didn't mind if people were unsure as they left the theater. "The highest praise that I can give a book is that it's interesting," he said, "So that's what I would want audiences to walk away saying, 'That was interesting.'" 841-PLAY 1029 Massachusetts Contact Pracht at apracht@kansan.com.

ENRON MESS EDITORIAL Students deserve more information in tuition debate As most of us who have been somewhat coherent for the past few months know, the state budget woes have cornered the University of Kansas in a financial dilemma, causing officials to consider a tuition increase that would be effective next fall. Students and parents obviously aren't too enthusiastic about these prospects, but all available information indicates that a tuition hike is imperative and unavoidable. The problem is, the important questions of when, why and how much tuition could be increased aren't easy to answer unless you're willing to make a concerted effort to be informed. University officials, including Provost David Shulenburger and Janet Murguia, executive vice chancellor for University Relations, declared they wanted student input and presented the tuition options to students at several sessions in December. But many students can tell you that attending a lengthy information session right before final examinations is not a plausible option. The University has tried to involve students in this tuition dialogue through these sessions, which continue with one at 7 tonight in Hashinger Hall. The University also maintains a Web site, www.ku.edu/tuition, with information about the dialogue. Advertisements with proposal details and sources of information will also be appearing in the University Daily Kansan in the near future. But students aren't looking for charts, slides and lengthy discussions. Students want a quick, simple explanation of how much they or their parents are going to have to pay to attend KU next year, and where their money will go. Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations, said that administrators were open to questions about the proposal and suggestions regarding how details could be made more easily available. Perhaps administrators should take a cue from campaigners for Student Senate elections, credit card solicitors and other groups that camp out on Wesco Beach. Boil down the complex tuition issue to something that can fit on fliers and pass them out to students on their way to classes. But first, the administration must find a way to reach students quickly. Information about the tuition proposals is already available for students if they want to sit down and study the matter. But the fact remains that if the University administration is really committed to involving students in this process, it must find a more accessible way for students to digest this problem. Blake Shuart for the editorial board. After all, students are the ones who will be paying for it. PERSPECTIVE 'Average' women made to feel ugly by society and pop culture The greatest crime a woman can commit is not being thin. Forget lying, cheating, homicide, using blue eye shadow or wearing a belt that doesn't match your purse because, to society, the greatest offense comes from a fat woman. Unlike many issues plaguing humanity, this unhealthy attitude of society refrains from affecting people equally. Negative body image specifically hurts women. When realistically considering our current pop culture — commercials, television and movies — only thin women play important roles. Furthermore, these aspects of pop culture highlight the inequality that exists between what society finds acceptable for men and women. Think about TV shows and movies. Travel back with me to the days of Seinfeld. Our neurotic friend George cracked us up, yet he was not exactly Prince William-esque. But remember the attractive, young and thin women he dated? Society, or at least Hollywood seems to say its all right to feature an average man, but a woman of 'average' size has no place in our culture. I challenge you to think of any 'average' or even 'overweight' actresses. Camryn Manheim from The Practice is one. However, her casting on the series was "revolutionary" because of her size. So maybe you can think of four overweight actresses — total. Now AIRPORT COMMENTARY Ambriel Renn-Scanlan opinionekansan.com think of every woman you know who doesn't live up to the body-size standards set by Hollywood. Not to sound catty, but that's a heck of a lot larger (pun intended) number than four, isn't it? When I've talked about this issue with my friends, regardless of their body size or shape, a constant theme emerged. Most felt that in some drastic way, they were unattractive. Many of these beliefs stemmed from weight or body image issues. All I'm trying to ask is how a woman who doesn't meet our culture's standards — whether she is too short, too tall, too fat or not thin enough — can feel desirable, acceptable or even attractive after a lifelong bombardment of images she'll never live up to? I'm sure other factors feed into this problem, but when every time you look in a magazine, read a billboard or turn on the television and only very thin women stare at you, how can that not impact your psyche? I swear this is not a this-columnist-is-fat-and-can't-get-a-man-so-she hates-thin-people situation. For almost three years I have had the privilege of being with a lovely, kind, intelligent and funny boyfriend. Aside from being a beautiful human being, he seems to think I'm pretty neat-o and even tells me I'm beautiful. The problem is, I don't believe him. In some way, I feel I've fooled him into thinking I'm attractive, and one day, he'll realize that because I am not thin then I am anything but beautiful. I used to think blaming society for my own insecurities was a cop-out. In most respects I still feel this way. But with body image, I have come to realize that part of the reason I am so critical of my body stems from my relationship with pop culture. Because I'm not thin, I feel vastly inferior. I have seen only thin women try to sell me products and witnessed mostly thin women living dynamic lives on the big and small screen. That has helped nourish my feelings of inferiority You might think you've heard this all before. I'm not claiming to have invented some new insightful idea that the women's studies department will snap up. But seriously, consider the next TV show and commercial you watch and think about how they portray women. I'm sure the women you watch will be intelligent, capable and—most importantly—thin. Renn-Scanlan is a senior in English and history from Topeka. PERSPECTIVE Torture: A necessary evil? You might want to get ready to add American Federal agent to the list. The concept of using harsher methods of interrogation on those held by the U.S. in connection with the Sept. 11 attacks has been gaining attention in the last few months. Torture. It's something we all have seen in the movies, administered by Nazis, mad scientists and the occasional tough guy, like Dirty Harry. Now, by no means has anyone said this is what they intend to do, but the unwillingness of key suspects in the attacks to share information has investigators looking in the direction of harsher methods. Among those proposed are placing suspects in prisons with a population hostile to their beliefs, sleep deprivation, deportation of the suspects to other countries that use tougher interrogation tactics or the administering of a "truth serum." While there is a strong concern for the loss of civil liberties across the board for Americans, I think a good deal of those Americans would look the other way of the use of these tactics. We are at war with terrorism, which is a far greater atrocity than the loss of a few rights to those who may have information that could help defeat the enemy. COMMENTARY Granted, organizations such as Justin Henning opinion@kansan.com The government has yet to name any more than 10 of these suspects as having possible leads to bin Laden or his network. But, not one of these people were arrested for looking at John Ashcroft the wrong way or for running a stop sign. They are people with prior criminal records. Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch are concerned these ideas will be acted upon. The civil liberties of innocent people could be severely trampled in order to get information out of only a handful. the methods are working toward a greater good, then they should be used. By no means am I suggesting all detained suspects be tortured until they spill their stories. Their credibility and backgrounds should be checked. But one has to wonder if something as inhumane as torture can be justified in light of the most horrific loss of human life on American soil in recent history. If Our civil liberties have been hit hard since Sept. 11. For example, anti-terrorism legislation allows federal law enforcers to tap phones in more than one state at the same time. Investigators also can track e-mail and Internet connections without the need of a warrant, although a warrant signed by a judge would be needed to read the contents of e-mails. And finally property owned or occupied by suspected terrorists can be searched without prior notice and confidential school records can be seized with a warrant With this broad power that luckily will expire after four years, investigators could be only a step or two away from the implementation of torture methods. We are a country at war, and historically, feelings and rights get overlooked in the pursuit of justice. Torture of any form would be a clear invasion of rights and privacy. The use of these methods on the people suspected of having useful information regarding the terrorist attacks, is unfortunately a necessary evil in this war against terrorism if we hope to win Henning is a junior in journalism from Leawood. 864-0500 free for a speak about any topic they wish.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear editor. Having read the debut issue of the Kansan on Thursday, I was pleased to see I got the Jayplay section. However, what I do not understand is how our two new "sexpers" could have written two columns about sex, without really talking about sex. However criticized, Meghan Bainum's sex column was always rescarched and objective. It was not simply a way to get the author laid. I sincerely hope we have an improvement in the quality of the column, or at least let Miss Bainum have full control of the column that is rightfully hers.

Berry said he came out to play last night because so many people were off work for Martin Luther King Jr. day. "I'm trying to get out and play more," he said. Public bus has successful first year By Lauren Beatty Kansan staff writer The Lawrence Transit System finished its first year in business with increased ridership, $98,000 in revenue and big plans for the future. "I'm very pleased, especially with having an existing bus service already in place in Lawrence," said Karin Rexroad, public transit administrator. "In a town this size, people should have the option of public transit. Lawrence has traffic congestion, parking issues and is large enough to support this system." Bus service began Dec. 18, 2000. According to a report published by the transit system, there were an average of 381 riders per day in the first month. By December 2001, the average number of riders per day increased to 608. Gavin Gregory, a driver for the bus system, said he hadn't seen a huge increase in the number of riders on his route, but the numbers were steady. "We have about four riders per hour, that's about half the national average," Gregory said. "Maybe in another year we'll be there." Rexroad said she was pleased with the amount of money the system had made in its first year. "The total revenue was much more than we thought it would be." Gregory said the bus system was a viable one and was impressed by the first year numbers. "For those who don't have transportation, it's a cheat way of get ting around," Gregory said. Although the program was an overall success, there were some problems. One problem was establishing a difference between the public transit system and the University system, KU on Wheels. Rexroad said the two systems could work together. "KU on Wheels is concerned with getting students to campus. We can get them to work. We go places KU on Wheels does not, and we run when they are closed." Gregory said the most common mistake was students thinking they could use their KU on Wheels bus pass to ride a public transit bus. Rexroad said developing a bus pass that could be used on both systems would be considered at the next committee meeting. "We're here for everyone, including students, but they wonder why we don't stop and pick them up." Gregory said. "This is a flag down service." Rexroad said communication was the primary goal for this year. She said she would like to work with KU on Wheels to set up a smooth transfer system. Other goals included printing more schedules and maps and building shelters with maps. Rexroad said the system wanted to boost the number of riders per hour to nine. Currently there are 10 buses running eight routes. The fare is 50 cents for a one-way ride. A 10-punch ticket is $5 and a monthly pass is $17. Contact Beatty at Ibeatty@kansan.com.

Lawrence residents take in box office leader By Jessica Tims Kansan staff writer Black Hawk Down, the big screen adaptation of Mark Bowden's book on the carnage of U.S. troops in Somalia, raked in more money than any other movie this weekend — across the nation and in Lawrence. Movieline International, a company that projects box office results for the industry, projected the film grossed more than $29 million at its first nationwide weekend. John Ratzlaff, manager at the South Wind 12 Theaters, 3433 Iowa, said Black Hawk Down was also the top-grossing movie in Lawrence during the weekend. "An opening like that is really odd for this time of the year," Ratzlaff said. "This opening is comparable to Ocean's 11, but it is nothing like Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings." Black Hawk Down is based on Bobdon's story for the Philadelphia Inquirer about the conflict and aims to tell the true story of two U.S. special forces helicopters shot down in Somalia during a humanitarian mission in 1993. Lindsey Lowe, Topeka senior, said the movie was both entertaining and educational. "It was a really good movie," Lowe said. "It was a great day in history, even though you don't really learn about it because it was not a major war." Pam Burkhead, systems administrator in the human resources department said although the movie was good, she found it to be too violent. "It was my first war movie and it was pretty gory." Burk head said. "But it was a really good movie and we learned a lot." Snow Dogs, was projected at a distant second in nationwide ranking, making $17.5 million in its first weekend, according to Movieline International. Ratzlaff said A Beautiful Mind came in second in Lawrence grossing $7,378 for the weekend. Contact Tims at jtims@ kansan.com.

To Mack, the writings of the desert fathers, early Christian monks who lived in the Egyptian desert, are key texts of Western philosophy. "You can't understand Western history or the development of Western civilization unless you understand the writings of the desert fathers," he said. In order to fill the gap, Mack decided to teach a class on desert spirituality himself at the Orthodox Christian Fellowship, a campus ministry at the University of Kansas. The class is sponsored by St. Athanasius Academy of Orthodox Theology. Mack said he hoped the University of Kansas would agree to accept three hours of credit for the free class if students fulfilled certain requirements, such as writing a paper. Tim Miller, chair of the KU religious studies department, said the Office of the Registrar usually made decisions involving credit transfer. He said it would likely depend on whether the academy the class was being given through was accredited. "If it's being given through a non-accredited seminary the credits wouldn't transfer anywhere." Miller said. Mack said the Athanasius Academy was accredited for theological education. Even if the credits can transfer, however, Miller is unsure whether they would fulfill any departmental requirements because of the unusual focus of the class. During the early centuries of Christianity, monks such as Saint Anthony the Great and Saint Pachomius turned stretches of dangerous and barren desert between Thebes and the Mediterranean Sea into a destination for spiritual pilgrimage. Monastics came to the desert to fast and pray in the hopes of bringing themselves closer to Christ. "The Orthodox church was a huge influence on Russia and a good deal of Eastern Europe," Mack said. "It is impossible to understand what happened in Russian history and European history without having an understanding of the how the Orthodox church and the teachings of the desert fathers influenced this." Mack said a class on the desert fathers was important for anyone who wanted to know more about history, European studies or spirituality. The desert monks also spent a lot of time writing about the desert and their religious philosophy. This philosophy later became the foundation of the Eastern Orthodox Church. Even so, all but two of the 13 students currently enrolled in the class are Orthodox Christians. "It's a very interesting subject, I would encourage anyone to take it because it's different from anything they'll get anywhere else," Pierson said. Leif Pierson, Dallas graduate student, converted to Orthodoxy last year. He decided to take the class to increase his knowledge of his religion and spirituality. He agreed, however, that the class would be useful for students who weren't Orthodox. Miller agreed desert spirituality was an interesting subject that received little coverage. He said that taking the class through the Orthodox Christian Fellowship was a good way to get the information but that the method of teaching would probably differ from KU religion classes. "I think it's a legitimate pursuit. Desert spirituality influenced a lot of history and Orthodoxy is a powerful religious tradition," he "You can't understand Western history or the development of Western civilization unless you understand the writings of the desert fathers." Father John Mack Orthodox Christian Church minister JOHN NOWAK/KANSAN said. "But there is an issue of method. We try to approach religion as a human phenomenon, personal belief doesn't enter into our classes. A seminary class would be more faith-based."

The background is blurred but seems to be an indoor setting.] --- **Source:** [Anonymous](https://archive.org/stream/book/01/1234567890 Miller said KU didn't offer any classes on desert spirituality because the religion department hadn't had a demand for it. James Woelfel, director of the Humanities and Western Civilization program, said the desert fathers weren't included in Western Civilization because the course focused more on Western Europe. "We have two semesters to read important works from Homer to World War II," he said. "We tend to choose the works that are most obviously important. St. Augustine is the towering spiritual figure for what we think of as the western world." Father John Mack is a minister for the Orthodox Christian Church. He also teaches a Saturday noncredit class on desert fathers and Orthodox spirituality at the St. Raphael House, 1421 W. 19th St. Woelfel said the Western Civilization program had no plans to add the desert fathers anytime soon. Mack's class on desert spirituality is held in the St. Raphael House, 1421 W. 19th Street. Lectures begin at 9:30 a.m. Saturday and the discussion section is at 8 p.m. on Mondays.

Too bad the athletes don't pocket that money. Former UCLA linebacker Ramogi Huma, co-founder of Collegiate Athletes Coalition has teamed up with the United Steelworkers Union to push for a salary, or at least an allowance for college athletes and to change NCAA rules which Huma says are unfair. Huma said that most athletes live below the poverty level, and not only do they not have time to hold jobs, but most of their families cannot afford to pass a little extra money along to their student-athletes. The CAC would not be considered a union, so they would also not be protected by legal laws. Huma said he has no intention of organizing a strike for collegiate players, he just wants to get the NCAA to listen to what he has to say and allow a moderate amount of money for the athletes. The only big problem with this issue is that the NCAA is worried that paying student-athletes would change the way collegiate athletics is being run. So what now? There are obviously pros and cons on each side of the battle. The No.1 advantage to allowing more money for these athletes would be the reduced chances of them getting caught up in tricky, and sometimes silly, regulations. For example, if a football player were to accept food from an outside party, he would be breaking the rules and could be suspended. Believe me, this has actually happened. Secondly, they could purchase the excesses like a Play Station 2 or beer, for those who are of age. Now the disadvantages to giving athletes more money is the obvious: Some players would abuse their privileges and ruin it for everyone else (but to me, beer and a Play Station 2 would NOT be considered abuse). I'm obviously talking about the illegal ways to abuse the extra cash. Also, if the spending limits aren't determined, schools and coaches would be able to "buy" their teams depending on how much money the programs generate in the first place. I realize that these players put forth a lot of time and energy for their sport, but isn't that the main reason they came to college anyway? I honestly doubt that they came to college strictly for the education part. So apparently a free education, books and housing aren't enough for them. According to Huma, only about 50 percent of college football players and roughly 30 percent of basketball players even end up graduating. Obviously their education isn't their No.1 priority. Money is. And most of them want to reach the professional level as soon as possible anyway. (Drew, it's not your time yet, don't read this paragraph of the column.) Collegiate athletics are already marketed in very much the same way professional athletics are. The only difference is payment for the players. Now I guess all we have to do is wait until the day that not only college coaches, but also college athletes, earn more than our professors. Eichten is Topeka sophomore in journalism.

The Jayhawks beat the Sooners 74-67. Juniors stand out in victory Bv Doug Pacey Kansan sportswriter Drew Gooden was relaxed and at ease as he answered reporters' questions Saturday after Kansas' 74-67 win against Oklahoma. Then assistant coach Ben Miller squeezed through the circle of reporters and interrupted the junior forward in mid-sentence. "Is your mom still around?" he asked. "Coach wants to talk to her." "No, she's at the hotel," the 20-year-old said as he sat up in his seat, and his eyes grew wide. "Why? Am I in trouble?" "Not when you get a doubledouble like that against Oklahoma," Miller said as he smiled and walked away. There was no way Gooden, who notched 19 points and 10 rebounds for a Big 12 Conference-leading 13th double-double of the season, would be in any kind of trouble after the way he performed in the first three minutes of the second half. The conference's leading scorer totaled eight points in that stretch, abused the Sooner defense, which had limited him to four points in the first half and more important, helped give the No. 2 Jayhawks (15-2 overall, 4-0 Big 12) the inside track on the Big 12 championship. "In the first half I didn't do a lot," Gooden said. "At halftime, I was like, 'I need to get the ball. I need to make plays.'" Gooden made some plays and when No.6 Oklahoma (14-2 overall, 3-1 Big 12) focused its inside defense on Gooden in the second half, Nick Collison became Kansas' go-to guy. Kansas' other junior forward — an All-American and Wooden Award candidate, like Gooden — scored six unanswered points in one minute and nine seconds, and Kansas took a 49-33 lead. Junior guard Kirk Hinrich, who scored 15 points and made three of six three-pointers said Gooden and Collison were doing a good job of getting in position. "Their bigguys were in foul trouble. They were kind of thin (at the forward position). We were trying to force it in there and make things happen." SEE SOONERS ON PAGE 3B Wins against ranked teams build confidence By Brent Wasko Kansan sportswriter What a difference a week makes for the No.2 Kansas men's basketball team. After playing one of its worst games of the season in an 87-77 loss to UCLA on Jan. 12, facing two top-10 teams was just what the Jayhawks needed to get their confidence back. Last Tuesday, Kansas defeated then-No. 6 Oklahoma State in a 79-67 blowout on the road. Saturday, the Jayhawks held on for a 74-67 win in Allen Fieldhouse against then-No. 5 Oklahoma, completing one the team's most challenging stretches of the season on a winning note. "You know, college basketball is so crazy," Kansas coach Roy Williams said. "Last week at this time, I'm not the happiest camper in the world because we just lost to UCLA and we're feeling down. Since then, we win at Stillwater and beat Oklahoma here and now I'm feeling a heck of a lot better." Williams said the team wasn't panicking after losing to the Bruins, but he admitted that the squad's confidence was fragile. "The kids were all mad," Williams said. "They were disappointed. They were all upset about the way we played. We really tried to focus on our mistakes and make sure that we didn't do them again. I think that they responded that way." With the victory against the Sooners, Kansas moved to 4-0 in the Big 12 Conference and is tied with Texas atop the league standings. The win also provided the Jayhawks with their fourth win against a ranked team this season, including a 3-0 mark against top-10 teams. "Playing UCLA on national TV, we kind of laid an egg out there and didn't play up to par," said senior guard Jeff Boschee. "I think we needed to make a statement that this team is for real and that we are capable of doing some damage." Junior forward Drew Gooden, who was named the Big 12 Player of the Week yesterday, said the fact that the Sooners and the Cowboys were both conference teams was more important for the Jayhawks than their high rankings. "UCLA was a nonconference game, and we couldn't dwell on that." Gooden said. "We lost, OK. So what?" The Big 12 is what we're striving for. These wins against Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, which are two of the powerhouses in the conference, are key for us." Kansas faces a less difficult portion of its schedule this week, starting with a Wednesday game on the road against Iowa State, a team near the bottom of the Big 12 standings. "Our players will be focused and they'll be enthused about playing Iowa State because they've kicked our tails for a long time," Williams said. Contact Wasko at bwasko@kansan.com.

Kansas swimmers, competing in the even lanes, dominated the Nebraska Cornhuskers 185-94 in their home dual meet and improved their team record to 6-2. "After last weekend, we had to be able to turn it around," Coach Cathy Burgess said. "The biggest accomplishment they did was to take the loss last weekend and then come in and get excited and go for it this weekend and show a better performance for us." The Jayhawks left little room for doubt as to who was the better team, not only winning most of the events, but also sweeping the top three places in many of them. The performance against Nebraska marked a vast improvement from Kansas' previous contest against Texas A&M University, a 187-108 loss. "We had a complete turnaround from our swims last weekend," Burgess said. "Not necessarily with attitude, just the whole picture — attitude, performances, ready to go, excited about the meet — a complete turnaround. We were a much faster team today." Kansas started strong with a 1-2-3 sweep of the 200-yard medley relay, the first event, and stayed strong through the rest of the meet. In the third event, senior captain Molly O'Connor won the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1:55.58. It was O'Connor's first win at Kansas.

The story was no different at Nebraska (12-7 overall, 2-4 Big 12 Conference) on Saturday. Kansas (5-14, 0-6) once again got off to a slow start and a second-half rally was not enough to overcome its shooting woes in a 73-59 loss. The Jayhawks shot just 32 percent in the first period and trailed 38-18 at halftime. They came out energized after the break, outscoring the Cornhuskers 41-35, shooting 42 per "We always have a half where we outscore the other team," said senior gaurd KC Hilgenkamp. "I think if we could keep it closer in the first half then we would have a few more wins." cent, but the late effort was not enough to earn Kansas its first conference win. Hilgenkamp, who has recently been hampered by leg problems, is one of the few Jayhawks who is consistent offensively. She scored 15 points against Nebraska, which made this game her 13th double-figure scoring game of the season. "We knew after we lost three big scorers last year that we would have problems offensively." Hilgenkamp said. "Our defense is usually good, but we just need to be able to score more efficiently." Two Kansas players reached career-highs against Nebraska. Sophomore guard Keila Beachem scored a career-high 14 points and had five rebounds. Senior guard/forward Katie Hannon had a career-best with two three pointers in 12 minutes. "I was happy with our effort down the stretch," said Kansas coach Marian Washington. "It's good to see players like Keila Beachem step up, Katie Hannon also did a good job." Kansas travels to No. 11 Kansas State on Wednesday before facing Oklahoma State on Saturday afternoon.

A Blair Waltz She could only watch as the Jayhawks eventually fell to the Cornhuske. ally fell to the Cornhuskers 73-59. "It's very frustrating," Waltz said. "Any ballplayer that loves the game always wants to be out there." In a Kansas season plagued with shooting woes and a shortage of depth, Waltz's injury is the last thing this struggling squad needs. Herailing foot has caused her to miss three of the last four games, with her only action coming sparingly against Colorado on Jan. 16. Her status, as it has been the last two weeks, remains day-to-day. "It's really up to the trainer." coach Marian Washington said. "I understand that if she plays, it's not going to damage her foot any more. It's just a lot of pain." Waltz is averaging 6.8 points and 3.5 rebounds a game for the Jayhawks (5-14 overall, 0-6 in Big 12 Conference play). Despite the injury, Waltz has proven to be Kansas' most productive freshman. "I think I'm contributing, but I think I need to contribute more," she said. "As the season goes along, I feel I am getting more comfortable." "I got injured in high school, but it was mostly just ankle sprains," she said. "It was nothing this serious. I first got a stress fracture in my left foot this summer. Now I have one in my right foot." However, Waltz's injury continues to linger, and her questionable status for each game is a tough pill for her to swallow. Waltz, a Leawood native, was highly recruited out of Blue Valley North High School by numerous programs, including Kansas State, the Jayhawks' next opponent. "I chose KU because they had better team chemistry," she said. "I got along with the girls a lot better." Waltz's availability remains up in the air for Wednesday, when Kansas travels to Manhattan to take on the Wildcats (17-2, 5-1).

Except after halftime, instead of missing the shot or turning the ball over, Collision and Gooden, who say they make up "the best front court in the nation," were successful. Sure, the Sooners were in foul trouble for most of the game and weren't able to be as aggressive as they wanted to during parts of the second half, but Oklahoma, which has allowed the fewest points per game in the Big 12, was still able to go on runs of 14-0 and 11-0. The win, coupled with losses by Maryland and Florida, allowed the Jayhawks to jump two spots to No. 2 in the polls and made them the front-runners for the Big 12 championship, something Kansas hasn't done since the 1997-1998 season. best team we've played, the best team defensively. Bottom line: It was the best team, and the best game we've played." ("Oklahoma is) a really good team, and the win was just huge for us because I wasn't sure anyone else in the conference would be able to beat them," Hinrich said. "So I'm happy to get this win. It's a big win." Kansas' next game is at 8 p.m. Wednesday at Iowa State. Contact Pacey at sports@kansan.com. This story was edited by Anne Merengemeier. Connecticut still undefeated The Associated Press HARTFORD, Conn. — With its leading scorsers misfiring early, top-ranked Connecticut leaned on Sue Bird and defense The senior point guard didn't disappoint and forward Tamika Williams made sure the defense didn't either. Bird scored 19 points and had a careerhigh nine rebounds to lead UConn (21-0,7-0) to an 80-53 victory yesterday over defending champion Notre Dame. Huskies remain A tenacious Notre Dame defense kept UConn from shifting into its up-tempo game. The Fighting Irish had seven steals and five Williams, scoring 17 points, led a dominating inside game with 11 rebounds and had four of UConn's eight steals to help the Huskies remain unbeaten. "They were really making it difficult for Swin, Tamika and Asjha to get easy looks," Bird said. The half ended with UConn leading 40-21. The Fighting Irish (10-7, 4-2) had shootingwoes of their own, hitting just 2-of-15 in the first 12 minutes. The Irish also turned the ball over 10 times in the opening half.

Although the Globes are decided by fewer than 100 foreign journalists, winners have the chance to pick up significant Oscar momentum from the ceremony's sizable television audience and clever scheduling. NBC's telecast of the Globes came about two weeks before the Feb. 1 deadline for the return of nearly 4,200 Oscar nomination ballots. The true-life tale of a schizophrenic math genius led Sunday's Golden Globes with four wins, including best drama, and movie pundits predict the honors will carryover to the Academy Awards. "A Beautiful Mind really needed to pick up some steam, and it did that—and then some," Entertainment Weekly awards expert Dave Karger said Monday. In the Golden Globe performer categories, A Beautiful Mind also won best dramatic actor for Russell Crowe and supporting actress for Jennifer Connelly, who was demure about Oscar talk. "I just want to think about this. It's fantastic," Connelly said. "That's all speculation. They haven't even announced the nominations." experiences. "Best film" honors from critics have been bestowed upon A Beautiful Mind, Moulin Rouge, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring and In the Bedroom. nominations. A Beautiful Mind also claimed best screenplay for writer Akiva Goldsman, who was criticized for fictionalizing too much of Sylvia Nasar's best-selling biography of Iohn Forbes Nash, Jr. Less certain are the Oscar prospects for the hyperactive musical Moulin Rouge. "A Beautiful Mind really needed to pick up some steam, and it did that and then some." Dave Karger Entertainment Weekly awards expert In addition, the Oscars don't differentiate between comedy/musical performances and dramatic performances like the Globes do, and Kidman will likely face stiff actress competition from In the Bedroom star Sissy Spacek, who won the dramatic actress Globe. Although it won three Golden Globe awards — including best comedy or musical, best musical actress for Nicole Kidman and best original score — the Oscars traditionally pay more attention to dramas than lighthearted fare Crossword ACROSS 1 Periphery 4 Distinct 9 Barcelata's "Maria __" 14 Time of note 15 Prank 16 Road-making device 17 Gear tooth 18 Baghdad native 19 Motionless 20 "__ Christie" 22 Hidden advantages 24 Sacred song 26 Levels 27 Quahog 29 Afore 30 Mimics 34 Health resort 36 Greek letters 38 Moon goddess 39 Bellicose 41 Ill-fated liner 43 Opposed to 44 Hinder 46 Modern LPs 47 Bog substance 48 Negative conjunction 49 Apiece 51 Fairy-tale monsters 53 Eastman's camera 56 Pre-Conquest Briton 61 Copse element 62 Body of Jewish law 63 Delaware senator 65 Coffee server 66 Preserved for later 67 Depart 68 Diarist Anais 69 Sulked 70 Montaigne work 71 Vocal pitch DOWN 1 Sum up 2 Actor Jeremy 3 Document of 121 4 ___ fi 5 Male red deer 6 Separate © 2002 Tribune Media Services, Inc.

Hall of Famer honored Kansan sportswrit ↵ r By Ali Brox Basketball star Bill Bridges, recognized during his time of the men's basketball game against Oklahoma, wasn't the only former Kansas great honoree Saturday. Dick Reamon, a swimmer and coach at Kansas, was recognized during the first break of Saturday's swimming an diving meet against Nebraska. Reamon was inducted into the Kansas Athletic Hall of Fame on Dec. 15 during the halftime of the men's basketball game against South Carolina State. Saturday was an opportunity to acknowledge Reamon in front of swimming supporters. "It's nice to be a home," coach Reamon was a four-year letter winner as a member of the 1958 to 1962 swimming team. Reamon then served as Kansas' swimming and diving coach from 1962 to 1977. Cathy Burgess said. "We get a good crowd and we get to show off a little bit with the hometown crowd." The Kansas swimming and diving team also paid tribute to those affected by the events of Sept. 11. The team observed a moment of silence before the meet began, and the athletes have been wearing American flag tattoos all season. Contact Brox at abrox@kansan.com.

But rather than profiting from his students, he gives the money back to them. ISSUE 77 VOLUME 113 Shawl uses the funds from the books' sales in the classroom, which circumvents a university regulation that prohibits faculty and staff to profit from materials they require for their classes. In no way, Shawl said, is he getting rich from his books. "It depends on how you define profit," Shawl said. "If you define it as compensation of a couple of dollars per hour, then yes, I profit from it. The royalties I obtain represent a couple of dollars per hour for the hours it took me to write the book." Shawl said the royalties from his text Shaw said the book were about 10 to 18 percent of the initial cost to the bookstore and are split between himself and his co-authors. He said he was following the rules set by the University. According to the 1998 regulation, faculty and staff are allowed to use their own textbooks and materials. However, if professors profit from those materials, they must donate the proceeds to their department, school, scholarship fund or other non-profit organization. Book royalty regulation According to University regulations, "When University of Kansas faculty or staff members receive royalties on educational materials they require inquiries about the part of the University curriculum, which are attended by regularly enrolled KU students, the proceeds must be donated to their departments, schools, scholarship funds or other-profit entities." This regulation was approved on March 2, 1998. Jeanette Johnson, assistant to the provost, said the regulation was enforced at the departmental or school level. She said professors might not be aware of the regulation because of faculty turnover and because the regulation was not circulated among the faculty on a regular basis. David Holmes, professor of psychology, has written his own books for his general and abnormal psychology classes since 1991 but had not heard about the University's royalties policy. "I was completely unaware of that," Holmes said. "I had no idea." Cheryl Catron, Topeka junior, took both Holmes' classes and said she would have preferred a textbook from an author other than her professor. "I felt like I was only getting the opinion of one person from a field where everyone has a different opinion," she said. Ted Wilson, professor of history, said he used a book compiled from his own research for his History of the Second World War. The book is photocoped and bound at University Press, so students pay for the photocopying fees. Wilson does not profit from the book, so he is exempt from the regulation. Shawl became involved in writing his book not for royalties, but because he believed it was the finest book on the market. from the regulations "I make it clear to my students that I do not receive royalties from the compilation," he said. "There is no reason to write the be book if you don't use it," he said. "WH would you teach with anything but th best?" Contact Hill at shill@kansan.com. this stoe was edited by Sarah Warren.

Watch for them. Faces in the Crowd 'Back' to normal, student runs again By Adam Pracht Kansan staff writer Last week Bill Weaver ran from his room in Temple Hall to the Kansas Union and back. While it may not soullike much, it was a great accomplishment for this Hinsdale, ill., sophomore. Less than a yea ago, Weaver came dangerously close to never walking again.

Prov st, students discuss tuition PART I MARK TWAIN'S FILMS A NEW TRADITION IN THEATRE IN A TRADITION IN THEATRE A NEW TRADITION IN THEATRE Provost David Shulenburger explains the reasons for a forthcoming tuition increase to students. About 40 students attended last night's panel discussion in the Hashinger Hall theatre. AUtition increase at the University of Kansas could level the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition, said Provost David Shulenburger at a tui tion increase dialogue last night. Shulenburg **r** met with about 30 students at 7 p. **n**. in Hashinger Hall's theater to **d** discuss the tuition By Meredith Ca Kansas staff writer increase. Shulenburger gave the same proposals for tuition increase that he gave to the Board of Regents last Thursday. Students were inquisitive about issues such as financial aid and faculty salaries. Shulenburger said more students would qualify for financial aid packages if tuition was increased. He also said out-of-state tuition would not go up dramatically. "We want to make the University of Kansas affordable to students or their families," he said. Other topics discussed included faculty salaries and research. Shulenburger said faculty salary increases were proposed because the current salaries lagged more than 20 percent below other Big 12 institutions. Last Thursday, Hemenway told the Board of Regents he wanted KU to be a top 25 research university within the next eight to 18 years. One student asked why Chancellor Hemenway was so focused on KU becoming a top research university "We want KU to be a research school because we care about your education," Shulenburger said. "We don't tenure our professors if they don't have research experience." He said that in order to reach that distinction, KU needed to be funded like a top 25 school. He said the University is $50 million behind other schools. "We want to fit with the average of the other Big 12 schools," Shulenburger said. Though this was the first time students could participate in a question-and-answer dialogue, some students thought it went poorly. SEE TUITION ON PAGE 6A Duncan sentenced to jail time By Rachel Keesee Kansan staff writer "Reggie pled guilty to the charge of shoplifting because his diversion agreement was revoked," Schneider said. Duncan was charged with a misdemeanor for shoplifting less than $500 in September 2000 at SuperTarget, 3201 S. Iowa St. He had been on diversion for the charge, which would have kept his record clear of the incident if he'd had no other legal violations for one year. Kansas sophomore running back Reggie Duncan will spend 48 hours in jail this weekend for a 2000 shoplifting charge. Duncan's attorney Ron Schneider said. However, Duncan and former teammate Mario Kinsey were charged in the Douglas County district court for stealing a KU student's purse in June 2011. Judge Randy McGrath, who sentenced Duncan, said he had received the usual jail time for a second charge. "On a first conviction for a theft, it can be a diversion, which usually means jail time is suspended," McGrath said. "If there'a second theft, you usually do two days' jail time. What happened here was the diversion was revoked because he had another theft in district court." Coach Mark Mangino dismissed Kinsey from the football team Dec. 18. Mangino was unavailable for comment on Duncan's status on the team. "I talked to the prosecutor's secretary before the court appearance, and she advised me that I wouldn't have to be in court Thursday morning. I assumed that applied to Reggie as well." Schneider said. "It was not Reggie's fault at all. The judge seemed to acknowledge that with today's sentencing and not leaving it on his record." Municipal court prosecutor Tom Porter applied to have Duncan's diversion revoked because of the county charge, and Duncan had to return to court. He was scheduled to appear in municipal court on Thursday but missed it because of a miscommunication, Schneider said. Duncan will start serving his sentence Friday and will be released Sunday, Schneider said. Duncan also will pay a $100 fine, due by March 15, Schneider said.

COMING SOON Watch for our New,3rd Facility on East 23rd Street! } 》 WEDNESDAY, JAN. 23, 2002 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 3A Delaware Street In Historic East U A Cab housing Project Site Tours Saturdays between 9 & 10 am TAKE ONE Preliminary Site Plan AARON SHOWALTER/KANSAN Lawrence resident Rich Minder explains the renovations that are planned for the house and surrounding land at the future site of the Delaware Commons cohousing project at 12th and Delaware streets. Minder and others are designing the neighborhood to facilitate cooperative living. Cohousing project moving forward By Caroline Boyer Kansan staff writer when Linda Journeys, a 1982 KU graduate, lived in Overland Park about three years ago, she thought she was missing something in her neighborhood and community. "I lived in your classic yuppie subdivision, and I didn't know my neighbors," she said. "I felt I wanted people to know about my life and to give me support and to be close enough with me to ask for that support in return. It was about a yearning for community." She then found out about a meeting for the Delaware Street Commons in Lawrence. She now belongs to a group of 20 people — including 11 KU graduates — who plan to build the first cohousing neighborhood in Kansas. A cohousing neighborhood is a group of people who come together to create a neighborhood community where they will interact and take responsibility for the community as a whole, according to the commons' Website. www.delaware-street.com. The group owns 3.25 acres of land at the corner of 12th and Delaware streets, where they plan to build a 32-household, environmentally sensitive and intergenerational neighborhood. Rich Minder, commons member, said the cost would be about $4.25 million. The group hopes to start building during Spring 2003 when it has at least 75 percent of its capacity filled. The site already includes three houses. The group plans to renovate and use the McMillan House, built in the 1870s, as the common house. Another house will be renovated into three housing units and the third will be torn down. Cohousing is a concept that originated in Denmark in the late 1960s, and spread to the United States in the late 1980s, the Web site said. Anyone who is interested in joining should first attend a meeting, a business meeting and a social to become an associate member, Vicki Penner, commons member, said. Minder said cohousing differed from traditional subdivisions because in those subdivisions people didn't necessarily get to know their neighbors. Equity members have invested five percent of the cost of their future home and intend to live at Delaware Street Commons. Thirteen members are now equity members. Minder said it would cost between $100,000 and $200,000 to buy a housing unit. Minder said students were welcome to join but that he didn't "It really is designed for people to be connected with one another," she said. "Ours is about being connected and participating in building your own environment with other people and being engaged with them." expect many students to join the commons because of the cost "Students, who come and go, open the community and add vitality." Minder said. Eric White, Perry junior, has been following the commons development as a part of his undergraduate research project in American Studies. "I think it's a great idea. To build that kind of a community inside city limits is a very positive and admirable step in the right direction," White said.

Parking proposal to ask for vehicle registration By Sarah Hill Kansan staff writer A new parking proposal could send students and faculty members scrambling to their glove compartments in search of car registration papers. The KU parking department will propose a new regulation for next semester that would implement a fee if the department has to identify a car not in its system. One way to ensure each car is correctly entered into the system is to require students to bring their registration when applying for a permit. "It's something you have in your car anyway," said Donna Hultine, assistant director of the department. "We hope it's not too much of an inconvenience." Hultine said the regulation stems from the parking department paying state motor vehicle offices access fees when attempting to identify a car. "If the car is unregistered, the tag changes or it's the wrong tag, we have to go through the state DMV's to find a car," she said. Under the proposal, an extra fee only would be tacked on to a ticket if the parking department could not match the tag to a driver. However, the offender would not have to pay the fee if they provided the department with a copy of their registration. This option is open to everyone, even visitors. Kyle Johnson, parking commission member and student senator, said he did not have a problem with the proposal because it was easy to not pay the fine. "Everybody has the opportunity to avoid that fee," he said. Unal Eren, Antalya, Turkey sophomore, agreed with the proposal as well. "If they have to pay, then we have to pay," he said. Jessica Pownell, Newton junior, said the proposal was OK as long as students were given the option to void the ticket. "It might be a hassle for them, but students shouldn't have to pay," she said. She disliked the idea of the added cost. The proposal will be presented at the next parking rules committee meeting in February. Contact Hill at shill@kansan.com.

City looks at options to improve safety at 15th and Engel Traffic assessments could lead to a light at the intersection By Lauren Beatty Kansan staff writer Katrina Alford knows firsthand the dangers of the intersection of 15th Street and Engel Road. In October 2001, the Burlington freshman was in a wreck at the intersection that caused $10,000 in damage to her 2001 Tovota Corolla. "People need to slow down and take their time," she said. David Woosley, city traffic engineer, said the intersection needed more than the recently added pedestrian safety island. He described options such as adding a traffic signal, a median and a left-hand turn lane on Engel Road. The commission requested the information after the recent approval of an expansion to nearby St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center, 1631 Crescent Rd., which includes a new parking garage and expanded facilities. At last night's city commission meeting, several options for improving the safety of the intersection were reviewed, but city officials said they would need more research before taking an action. Mike Wildgen, city manager, said more specific information about traffic needed to be researched. "We need to see the traffic counts, how traffic moves, where they are going," he said. "We would have put a signal there a long time ago if it were that simple." In Woosley's report to the commission, the cost of a traffic signal was estimated at $550,000. He said that 29 accidents occurred at the intersection from 1998 to 2000. Alford said she didn't know whether a traffic light was the best way to prevent accidents at the intersection. researched. "People I've talked to said it would just back traffic up across Iowa," she said. "They really just need to lower the speed limit to 20 or 15." Another option for the intersection would be a left-hand turn lane on Engel Road. The Rev. Vince Krische of St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center wrote a letter to the commission saying the center would provide an easement of its property to help solve the problem. "It's a very difficult intersection to deal with," Wilden said. "This easement gives us an option we haven't looked at." When the research is done, the commission will decide which option to select, Wildgen said. Contact Beatty at lbeatty@kansan.com. This story was edited by Sarah Smarsh.

THINK IT'S TIME TO TURN DOWN THE RHETORIC? TIME FOR A SNACK FOOD TRIBUNAL! KNIGHT RIDDER TRIBUNE EDITORIAL Tax hike benefits worth strained student budgets Higher duties on sales, gas, cigarettes a needed burden to pay for shortfall As KU students, many of us have the luxury of being able to stay in our own little bubbles. But our "budget bubble" may be about to burst. The common KU student's budget includes housing costs, means of transportation, tuition and food, with just enough left over to hit the bars once the weekend comes. The threatening needle poking is that of the sharpened Kansas budget. If money talks, Gov. Bill Graves is trying to have a long conversation with money. Simply put, he isn't going to get a word in edgewise. Kansas enjoyed the luxury last year of not suffering a rise in taxes. But times have changed as we experience this recession. Our economy is down and no one has money. Like the common college student, Kansas is broke. Moreover, because the state has no parent to bail it out, it looks to us to be its provider. Graves is proposing to increase taxes in four areas. Sales tax could increase from 4.9 cents per dollar to 5.15 cents, meaning your $50 Super Target bill will escalate from $52.45 to $52.58. The tax on cigarettes, according to his proposal, would jump from 24 cents per pack to 89 cents per pack. Yes, it's an expensive habit that soon could cost you even more. And don't complain when the carpool starts charging a bit more. The tax on gasoline could increase to 22 cents per gallon of regular gas and, for the truckers, 24 cents per gallon for diesel fuel. Jessica Smith for the editorial board. And although the proposed increase is smaller, the cost of registering a car could spring up to $25.75 from the previous $25. We are all the future penny-pinchers of the world, and when it comes to personal spending, increases usually come from individual pockets instead of the family college fund. However, the proposed tax hikes would directly benefit all of us. The sales tax on your Target bill would go toward increases in money for public schools, higher education and social services. The tax on gas would help reimburse the cut in state highway programs to ensure we don't have too many potholes on the ride home. The Lawrence Journal-World, along with other news outlets, reports that this tax rise might prevent some spending cuts at universities, including the University of Kansas. If this escalation in taxes bursts your bubble, realize that good will come from it and you will still have the gum to blow another bubble. PERSPECTIVE Shampoo orgasm, candy rainbow don't inspire desire for products As I turn on the television for my weekly dose of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I relish in the thought that my mind won't have to work for an entire hour. But not only is my favorite program inevitably interrupted by minutes of advertisements, it's also interrupted by countless ridiculously stupid and embarrassing advertisements that are actually below the amount of brain power I was willing to use for that hour. Americans are being humored by more and more nauseous commercials as the years pass by. Does anyone really think the cheesy music and even cheesier actors of the Mentos commercials are remotely funny? And does Carrot Top really get paid money to perform that badly? Am I the only one who wants to shoot the screen every time any kind of designer perfume commercial comes on? When did we become so mentally handicapped as to actually enjoy this sort of entertainment? None of these so-called ads make me want to go out and buy a product, which, if I'm not mistaken, is the whole purpose of a commercial. And if this is true, what is the purpose at all of putting commercials in the theater? Does Ford really think that after three hours of Lord of the Rings my first instinct is going to be to COMMENTARY Laurel Anne Burchfield opinion@kansan.com run out and buy a new SUV? television shows down to 17 minutes instead of 30, at least make the commercial have a purpose. It seems more money is being spent on special effects, not for Oscar-nominated movies, but rather for one-minute commercials. As much as I love the idea that planting Skittles in the ground will produce a stunning rainbow with showering candy, how much was spent on those 45-second ads? Take, for example, the Herbal Essences shampoo ads. While I find the idea of watching a woman shower while screaming and moaning because of her shampoo to be rather embarrassing, some do enjoy it. I, for one, cry at every single Hallmark or Folgers coffee commercial I see, while others are equally embarrassed by that form of advertising. What good does a commercial do if I change the channel every time I see some gorgeous young adult talk about his or her herpes? And I sincerely doubt Jared has motivated anyone to go on a Subwayonly diet. In fact, that man alone has convinced me to eat there as little as possible. Maybe I'm being a little harsh. I have run across people who actually laugh at some of the most humiliating commercials. yet if advertising is going to cut our The commercial should make me want to buy the product, not be disgusted by either the amount of money wasted or the level of intelligence advertisers assume we as the general public contain. While I realize all this criticism coming from a girl who idolizes Buffy may be a little hard to swallow, test it yourself. The next time you sit down for your own hour of relaxation, watch the commercials just as closely as the program. Keep track of any commercials that actually make you want to purchase the product. If you're like me, you too will find yourself insulted more than awed by any of these deliberately stupid ads. Burchfield is a Baseer freshman in pre- ournalism and education. PERSPECTIVE Students,not adviser,call shots at'Kansan' How would you feel if your professors studied with you? When you read your textbooks, your professors would explain them at length. When the time came to write essays, the professors would scrutinize your rough drafts. You would be on edge. You would think the situation absurd. Professors don't do that. Yet it's easy to assume the general manager and news adviser of The University Daily Kansan does. An adult wouldn't let students print whatever they wanted. Right? The general manager and news adviser of the Kansan is one of the few adult instructors involved with the day-to-day running of the paper. Malcolm Gibson (appointed to the position this semester) gives advice to student reporters and editors and makes sure the paper makes money. Wrong. COMMENTARY But he doesn't control content. Indeed, Gibson doesn't see the paper until it's printed. The University Daily Kansan functions independently of the School of Journalism. The school funnels reporters and editors into the paper, and gives the Kansan office space. In every other respect, the newspaper is under direct student control. Clay McCuistion cmccuistion@kansan.com COMMENTARY "We think the independence serves as a wonderful functional educational tool for the students." Gibson said. In other words, he doesn't want to be the annoying professors I asked you to imagine. You couldn't stand such people. Neither could we. Gibson, who worked for more than three decades in the newspaper business, is loud, quick and brash. He wants the Kansan to cooperate with other campus media and to keep the campus community in mind. ("On every story, ask 'How can I make this relevant to students?' he told me.) The adviser has influence at the newspaper, without a doubt. Yet it's an influence that extends more to attitude than direct commands. Tom Eblen, the previous news adviser, had a lower-key attitude than Gibson. He was soft-spoken, measured and intense. Yet Gibson's goals will succeed or fail based on the students who operate the newspaper. He can't control it himself. He wants those who run the Kansan to understand their responsibility. This gives students an advantage. When you visit the Kansan, you're not interacting with elderly academics. The people who work here are just like you. We have classes, we have crud-filled apartments and we would like to get out early Friday to hit the bars. We want the paper to reflect that. No professor will censor us — and that means no professor will censor you. - Clay McQuistion is the Kansan's new Readers' Representative.

Under Hemenway, the number of minority faculty has fallen, the number of minority students has stagnated and declined and women faculty have been forced to fight for family leave during pregnancy and bereavement. We should all question why Hemenway dismantled the offices and programs that were charged with protecting the rights of the very people who comprise our much vaunted "diversity." It has become plainly obvious that KU's internal mechanisms for protecting them from the prejudices in the workplace are seriously defective. The University of Kansas is currently the defendant in seven civil rights lawsuits (in comparison, K-State has one). Every year since Chancellor Hemenway came here, the number of civil rights lawsuits filed annually against KU has been four times what it was before he came. KU certainly has increased its ranking in at least one category under Chancellor Hemenway, but this is definitely not an achievement of which we should be proud. CIVIL RIGHTS AT KU Be assured, the Civil Rights movement did not die with King. As was true during his lifetime, today we must fight actively to ensure that every person in our nation is treated with dignity, respect and fairness. He would expect no less of us. That is how I honored him on the holiday we have set aside to celebrate his life. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear editor. Someday we will have a society that fulfills the dream of equal opportunity and full citizenship for every person in our nation. Until then, I consider the day we have set aside to honor Dr. King as a working day rather than a true holiday. It remains a day to work toward his dream, to fight injustice and to continue to build a society worthy of a celebration in his honor. That is why I spent Monday meeting with my lawyers to work on my civil rights lawsuit against KU's Office of Equal Opportunity: it seemed more appropriate at this moment in history than taking the day off. V Cynthia Annett, Ph.D. The Civil Society Group WEDNESDAY, JAN. 23, 2002 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5A Doctors struggle to get license Naturopathic doctors not recognized in Kansas unless approved by committee By Summer Lewis Kansan staff writer For the fourth time in four years, naturopathic medical doctors are trying to get their profession licensed to practice in Kansas. "Without being licensed as practicing doctors ... we are no different than people with no medical education," said Mehdi Khosh, president of the Kansas Naturopathic Physicians Association and Lawrence doctor. "The law doesn't say that we are licensed professionals or licensed doctors. That is what we are fighting for." Khosh said the difference between naturopathic doctors and medical doctors was that medical doctors prescribed drugs and performed surgery. "Our training is based on herbs, nutrition, homeopathy remedies, counseling and stress management," she said. Khosh said if the profession was licensed, insurance companies would pay the fee for a patient to see a naturopathic doctor. Now patients have to pay for the expenses themselves. Khosh said naturopathic medicine was about 100 years old in the United States. "We are licensed to practice mainly on the west and east coasts. In Kansas, people just don't have the information about our training," he said. The association has tried to skip the credentialing committee, which is a part of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, by going directly to the Kansas Legislature for the past three years with a bill attempting to get all naturopathic doctors licensed in the state. The bills have failed because the Legislature didn't hear them — signaling the association shouldn't try to skip the credentialing committee. "We are taking a different approach this time by going through the health occupation credentialing committee beginning in early September," said Peter Kimble, naturopathic doctor in Lawrence. The credentialing committee consists of seven members who analyze the credentials of the profession and to vote to approve it or not. They have four meetings. One is open to the public. Marla Rhoden, health program analyst in Topeka, said naturopathic doctors were one signature away from being unanimously approved by the committee. Kimble said the committee voted while he was present and it was unanimous, but procedure says all seven members have to sign the approval. Rhoden said she wasn't sure when a decision would be made, but she said historically the toughest step in the process for a profession to get its license was getting through the credentials committee.

Averaged utility bills offer manageability By Melissa Shuman Kansan staff writer Students who want to set budgets can get some help from the gas company. Every year, gas utility bills increase drastically with winter heating needs. One way students can solve the problem of dealing with unexpected high gas costs is bill averaging. Lawrence gas provider Kansas Public Service offers the option to total gas usage of the address for one year and divide it by twelve. That total is the amount the gas user will pay each month. Larissa Long, director of community relations at Utilicorp, which owns KPS, said the streamline program didn't lower bills. KPS keeps the bills at a consistent rate. That way, consumers don't get unexpectedly high gas bills. Gas users pay for their projected usage during months when costs aren't so high. "A person wanting to use the averaged bill option would pay the same amount each month," Long said. Neeley Spellmeier, Sabetha sophomore, lives at Aberdeen Apartments, 2300 Wakarusa Drive, and pays her gas bill with the traditional monthly option. She said an average monthly bill would be easier to manage. "I would consider having an averaged bill so I could know how much it was," she said. For electricity customers, Kansas Power and Light (KPL) has a similar program, using a rolling average computed from the previous 12 months. The bill can change every month, but the payments are kept at a more constant rate. KANSAN "They're going to pay for everything they use, it's just averaged out for a year." a KPL customer service representative said. "I use it, and I really like it because it helps me know what my bills are ahead of time." Kansas Public Service measures the gas consumption rate of the year before the bill averaging begins. Then, the rate is reassessed twice a year to make sure that rate matches the current usage. "If the payment is more than the consumption, it will credit to their account," Longsaid. "If they use more than they pay for, then they will have a debt on their account." Long said gas users could change their billing plans at any time during the year. Students who want to switch their utility billing to averaged amounts can call KPS or KPL to discuss payment options. Contact Shuman at mshuman@ kansan.com.

PS2remainstop system The PlayStation 2 has the widest fan base, said Ethan Parker, employee at Game Guy Video Games, 7 E. Seventh St. "The PlayStation 2 has more games than the other systems and you can play the old PlayStation games too," he said. "It also plays DVDs out of the box." Despite releases of Xbox, GameCube, year-old system still selling strong Josh Mayhle, Kansas City, Mo sophomore, said the PlayStation has a better game selection because of contracts with game companies. "Sony has exclusive deals with some companies," he said. "These companies only make games for the PlayStation." Boyce Richardson, Girard sophomore, said he owned both a PlayStation 2 and the new Nintendo GameCube. He agreed that Sony's game selection was better, but that the Xbox is best for multi player action. "The GameCube is more fun if you have people using all four controllers," Richardson said. "The PlayStation 2 has more games than the other systems and you can play the old PlayStation games too." Ethan Parker He chose to buy the GameCube because he heard of rumors of the Microsoft's Xbox system crashing. "I paid $420 for the Xbox and two games. I sold one and only got 450 bucks out of it," Newell said. "The other was sitting in my apartment so long I finally opened the box and played it. It was not worth the money. It was the biggest waste of money I made all year." Scott Newell, Topea junior said he saw the debut of the Xbox as a way to make money. He purchased two of the game consoles to sell on the auction web site, E-bay. "the PlayStation 2 is still $300—the same price as the Xbox," he said. "But you have to pay $200 more for a modem and a hard drive, and the Xbox comes with that. So if you are comparing apples to apples, it is $500 to $300." an year. Jeff Fox, owner of Game X Change, 800 W. 23rd St., said the PlayStation 2 is the best game system for college-aged players. "Nintendo is marketed toward kids and families," Fox said. "Sony markets PlayStation toward 20-to 30-year-old males." Fox said from a price stand- point, the Xbox was a better buy. apples, it is not. Although the Xbox does come with a modem and hard drive, Fox said Microsoft hasn't made an issue of it's added amenities "They haven't pushed it hard yet," Fox said. "Sega tried it with the Dreamcast and that company went out of business." Parker said the instability of the video game industry also may be a reason why more people turn to companies normally associated with game consoles like Sony and Nintendo. "The Xbox is by Microsoft and they don't know what they are doing," Parker said. "They always go with the idea bigger is better, and that is not always the case." Contact Tims at jtims@kansan.com.

In high school, he started for the varsity lacrosse team and ran cross-country and track. CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A NORMAL Extreme sports like bungee jumping and parachuting also appealed to him, so when a friend offered to take him and others bridge diving, he took the opportunity. They went to a bridge northwest of Topeka that stood about 50 feet over the water. They checked the water depth before jumping, and none of them could touch the bottom. But at the top, no one wanted to go first. "We all got up there and, 'Oh, man, there's no way,' Weaver said, "But I'm like, 'We drove 45 minutes. We're not just going to stand here." Weaver jumped first, without incident, and several others followed. wrong, though, when everyone came down and they all went behind my back and no one said anything," Weaver said. Weaver went to jump a second time while his friend Jake Weller, Wichita sophomore, stood on the shore to take a picture. But when Weaver jumped, he lost his balance. Instead of hitting the water with his feet, he landed on his rear end. "I could tell something was "When I hit the water, I knew I was in deep trouble," he said. "I was lying face down. My back was throbbing. I felt like I had knives all over. And I stuck my head up and I screamed." When Weaver hit the water his spine compressed like an accordion, fracturing two vertebrae. Weller was the first to reach Weaver and bring him to shore. Weaver said he didn't think his injury was too bad at first. Weller described the lump he and his friends had observed in the silence. "It was probably about a half inch out of his back," he said. "It was just huge. It looked like someone had hit him with a softball right there." While Weaver and his friends did have cell phones, no one knew how to direct an ambulance to the site. The group made the decision to try to move him. After carrying him up a hill, under the bridge and to the car, his friends drove him to a Topeka hospital. Weller said he could tell Weaver was in a lot of pain. "Every bump hurt. Every turn hurt," Weller said. "When you speed up, that hurts. When you slow down, that hurts." After contacting Weaver's parents, who were on vacation in Italy, he underwent surgery to fuse the damaged vertebrae. Weaver then went through months of physical therapy to repair the torn muscles, ligaments and tendons in his back. "You realize how lucky you are, how lucky I've been," Weaver said. "how many times I could have paralyzed. One doctor told Weaver that most similar patients are permanently paralyzed. But instead of a wheelchair, he has an 8-inch scar as a reminder. "The doctor looked at me and was like, 'You're a very lucky kid.'" Contact Pracht at apracht@ kansan.com. This story was edited by Jenna Gofffert. TUITION CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A "I appreciate all of the time Provost Shulenburger gave to us, but I still think it is inadequate," said Jonathan Ng. Leawood junior and CLAS student senator. "The administration has more resources, and they haven't fully allocated them in order to get the message out to students about the tuition dialogues." Jason Ranard, Grand Island, Neb. freshman, said he thought the dialogue could have been more in-depth and more students should have known about it. "I don't think it was publicized very well because the student body was missing a lot of good opinions and questions," he said. Shulenburger said he thought the dialogue was a good start. "What I would like for the future are more suggestions," he said. Shulenburger plans to meet with graduate students and members of Student Senate at 6 p.m. tonight at the Jayhawk Room in the Kansas Union.

The measure would expand a law enacted last year that gave the state greater authority to respond to and contain outbreaks of infectious disease in livestock. This year's bill would add plants to the law and make it a felony to infect plants or animals. In addition, the bill would make convicted terrorists eligible for the death sentence if the infection of plants or livestock resulted in death to humans. State Senate Agriculture Committee chairman Derek Schmidt, R-Independence, said he was aiming for approval of the bill by the full Senate within two weeks. The panel heard testimony yesterday. "Experts on bioterrorism tell us that the terrorists' goal is not always to kill but to create domestic dislocation or economic havoc," said state Agriculture Secretary Jamie Clover Adams to the Senate Agriculture Committee. "The impact of an intentional introduction of a plant disease would be devastating to the Kansas economy," she said, noting that annual agriculture sales are about $34 billion, with wheat sales totaling $1 billion alone. Last year's measure made it a felony to knowingly infect livestock with foot-and-mouth disease and was a response to effects the disease had on the livestock industry in Europe. Todd Johnson, spokesman for the Kansas Livestock Association, said the 2001 legislation and the outbreak in Europe prompted Kansas producers to implement their own biosecurity plans, work with state agencies to develop emergency preparedness plans and begin educating producers and consumers. But since Sept. 11, he said, "The possibility of an inadvertent introduction has changed to the threat of an intentional terrorist attack on our agriculture industry." Schmidt said the bill was similar to the work of committee that studied the state's needs for greater agroterrorism security last fall. Adams asked the committee to change language of the bill that could be construed to impede markets for nurseries, greenhouses and grain markets, as well as restrictions that could be placed on plant pathogen research. Schmidt said the committee was likely to consider those changes. "We want to be certain that we don't step over a line," Schmidt said. "We want to make sure our response is well-coordinated and targeted." Today the Department of Agriculture and several industry groups plan a news conference at the capitol building. The participants are expected to announce activities related to agroterrorism preparedness and the appropriate response. Court approves new sexual predator law The Associated Press TOPEKA — A ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court on Kansas' sexual predator law should be the final word on the statute, Attorney General Carla Stovall said. "I don't think that there needs to be another dollar spent to take the sexual predator law back to the Supreme Court," Stovall said after the high court issued its ruling yesterday. Stovall has successfully defended the law in front of the nation's highest court twice. It has become a model law for 19 states. Yesterday's ruling stemmed from the state's appeal in the case of Michael T. Crane, convicted in 1993 of sexually assaulting a video store clerk and exposing himself to a tanning salon attendant in Johnson County. When Crane was about to be paroled in 1998, prosecutors went to court to have him committed to a state hospital. A jury in the civil trial found him to be a sexual predator, and a judge sentenced him to be confined at Larned State Security Hospital. In July 2000, however, the Kansas Supreme Court ordered a new civil trial on the sexual predator question. The Kansas justices said the judge erred in failing to tell jurors they needed to find that Crane was completely incapable of controlling his dangerous behavior. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that states may keep violent sexual offenders locked up after their prison issues if they prove that offenders lack "some" self-control. Juries do not need to find that an offender lacks any self-control, the court said. However, the ruling did not offer states any guidance on how to address an inmate's lack of control. Stovall argued the case for Kansas on Oct. 30. She had also argued the 1997 case of convicted pedophile Leroy Hendricks, which led to the high court's ruling that Kansas' sexual predator law was not unconstitutional. Laws similar to Kansas' have been adopted by Alabama, Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Washington and Wisconsin. Kansas Senate could cut money for schools to avoid new taxes The Associated Press TOPEKA — A Senate committee began its review Tuesday of two Republican leaders' budget plan by agreeing to sponsor a bill to help public schools avoid facing spending cuts. The Ways and Means Committee has scheduled three days of hearings on the plan, which is designed to balance the budget for the state's 2003 fiscal year without increasing taxes. The state faces a projected $426 million gap between expected revenues and spending commitments for fiscal 2003, which begins July 1. One key provision of the plan would reduce state aid to public schools by $39 per student, to $3,831 from $3,870, in the current school year, then freeze at that level for fiscal 2003. The committee agreed to sponsor a bill that would make it easier for school districts to dip into their reserves and issue debt to cover expenses, as long as the debt would be paid off with property taxes. "I think it's probably justified given what we're about to do to them," said Sen. Christine Downey, D-Newton. Senate Democrats like Downey have found plenty to dislike in the GOP budget plan, but they are not sure they can prevent it from getting out of committee. The proposal was drafted by Chairman Steve Morris, R-Hugoton, and Senate President Dave Kerr, R-Hutchinson, who also serves on the committee. Morris and Kerr want the committee to act quickly, to allow debate by the full Senate next week. The Kerr-Morris plan is an alternative to Gov. Bill Graves' proposal to raise $228 million by increasing cigarette, sales and motor fuels taxes and vehicle registration fees. Graves has argued that tax increases are necessary to avoid cuts in education and social service programs. Kerr and Morris propose to cut the current $4.5 billion budget by about $85 million, or 1.9 percent, then freeze spending for fiscal 2003. The result would be a state budget slightly smaller than the one in place for the state's 2001 fiscal year, which ended June 30. Kerr and Morris also would dip into the state's rainy day funds for $104 million and divert $20.6 million from the state's 1998 legal settlement with tobacco companies, used now for children's programs. Most agencies would have their current budgets cut 2 percent, then frozen. Spending on public schools and higher education would be cut only 1.2 percent, however. Kaw Nation purchases native Kansas homeland The Associated Press COUNCIL GROVE — More than 128 years after the U.S. government forced them out of the state that bears their name, the Kaw Nation is returning to its homeland. In January 2000, the nation purchased 168 acres of its native land southeast of Council Grove, in the neosho River valley along Little John Creek, with plans to develop a historical park to honor the nation's Kansas heritage. nage. "This is where we came from. This is our home," said Clyde McCauley, executive vice chairman of the Kaw Nation. "I feel the most important thing for the Kaw people is to migrate back to our culture to purchase the land we once owned." For the past 100 years, McCauley said, the Kaw had been trying to purchase the land back. Finally, in early 2000, the tribe closed a $108,000 deal with the property's owner. Willis Huston. The tribe is also buying Kaw burial grounds and campsites scattered throughout Kansas. The 168-acre purchase is more than just keeping their heritage. McCauley said, but also about culture and beliefs. Today, the Kaw Nation has about 2,500 members. Its plan is to develop a hiking trail that takes people around these sites and helps them learn more "In Kaw culture, the spirits return to where we last lived," he said. This is where we came from. This is our home." Clyde McCauley executive vice chairman of the Kaw Nation about the tribe that once lived there, McCauley said. Farmland also will be turned back into native prairie grasses and an abandoned railroad corridor, known as the Flint Hills Nature Trail, will be turned into a hiking and biking path on which residents can travel to the site. McCauley said the entire project should take three to five years. JoAnn OBregon, executive secretary of the Kaw Nation, said Kaw members were still discussing what to name the preserve, adding it would probably be named after a Kaw chief. She said the preserve officially will be named April 20 during a "Cedar Ceremony," or a praver ceremony, at the park. Ron Parks, curator of the Kaw Mission State Historical Site at Council Grove, said the nation members also planned to plant 807 burr oak trees —representing the 807 Kaw listed on the 1862 U.S. Census. The trees would be planted along nine miles of the Flint Hills Nature Trail, from Council Grove to a few miles west of Bushong. 623 Vermont 749-5067 We Buy, Sell & Trade USED & NEW Sports Equipment PLAY IT AGAIN SPORTS 841-PLAY 1029 Massachusetts for students kansan.com by students Smooth talkin' doesn't mean you'll get a smooth ride.

December unemployment stood at 3.7 percent, down from 4 percent in November, the state Department of Human Resources reported Tuesday. Nationally, December's unemployment rate was 5.8 percent. Bill Layes, chief of labor market information, said December unemployment had fallen from November's rate in 18 of the past 20 years. "Trade employment is a large factor in the December rate," Layes said, noting that 1,500 temporary workers were hired for the holiday season. December's figures did not reflect the hundreds of layoffs planned by Kansas manufacturers and the airline industry, Human Resources Secretary Richard Beyer said. "We are aware of the mass layoffs that have been announced, but most of these layoffs had not yet occurred at the time the statistics were gathered," Beyer said. Layes said January would probably bring a "rather sharp" increase in unemployment as temporary holiday workers were shed and the string of manufacturing layoffs began to emerge. About 400 layoffs were figured into December's rate. The biggest jump in joblessness is expected in Wichita, with the layoffs of 250 workers at Bombardier Aerospace and 5,000 from Boeing's commercial aviation division. Boeing hopes to offset some of those losses by hiring some workers in its military division to fill orders for 737 tankers for the Air Force. The department said 1,382,246 Kansans held jobs during December, while 53,625 were actively seeking work. In 2000, Kansas ended the year with 1,398,954 people working and 46,324 seeking jobs. December's jobless rate compares with 3.2 percent in 2000, a contrast with a yearlong trend of improving employment. "This leads us to say that Kansas has been feeling the effects of the national slowdown," Beyer said. "However, we are confident that Kansas will begin to bounce back during 2002." But Senate President Dave Kerr was skeptical. "The conventional wisdom is that the economy will bounce back,but conventional wisdom is usually wrong," said Kerr, R-Hutchinson. A slowing economy has contributed to state's budget crunch, marked by an expected $426 million gap between revenues and spending in the fiscal 2003 budget. Kerr has said that legislators should not expect the economy to rebound enough to generate tax revenue to solve the problem. Layes said historically Kansas lagged behind the rest of the nation in feeling the effects of a recession and subsequent recovery. However, with advances in technology, that lag is not as long as it once was, often pegged at six months. "My personal feeling is that we will see some recovery in the spring," Layes said. Court systems voice budget complaints The Associated Press TOPEKA - In many county courthouses across the state, the district court clerk's office closes over the lunch hour or during the afternoon. Shorter business hours give workers a chance to catch up on filing, preparing warrants, drafting notices and other paperwork. For years, court clerks, their workers and judges have worried about crowded calendars and increasing work loads. For years, Supreme Court chiefjustices have told legislators that they weren't providing enough money for the judicial branch's operations. And for years, legislators, though sympathetic, didn't provide the money the Supreme Court said was necessary. Sixty and 90-day hiring delays became common. Chief Justice Kay McFarland even went two months last fall without a legal assistant, making her the only state chief justice or judge in the nation without one. But now McFarland and other judicial branch officials appear to have the attention of Gov. Bill Graves and the Legislature. She and other judicial branch officials have been warning that unless Graves and legislators came up with more money—and quickly—district court offices could be forced to take extra days off and give their employees unpaid leave time. Graves responded by including extra money for the judicial branch among his legislative initiatives, even as the state faces serious budget problems. Senate Republican leaders who outlined proposals that called for cutting most agency budgets planned to exempt the judicial branch. McFarland is pleased that Graves and legislators are listening, but she wants them to follow through. "We're in terrible shape," she said. Judicial problems may not be apparent from looking at raw budget numbers. During the past 15 years, the court system's budget has grown by 80 percent, to $78.9 million in the current 2002 fiscal year, from $43.9 million in fiscal 1987. Legislators approved an increase of 0.7 percent, or $529,000, for fiscal 2002. Two years ago, they allowed the Supreme Court to increase docket fees, to raise extra money. Also, the number of judges has increased over the past 15 years, from 216 to 234, as well as the number of non-judicial workers, from 1,301 to 1,433. That's an 8 percent increase in judges and 10 percent increase in other workers. Not all legislators are convinced the judicial branch has a serious budget problem. "They seem to have a lot of efforts to lobby for more money," said Sen. Tim Huelskamp, R-Fowler. Yet Graves and many legislators say the state has been short-changing the court system. "Our judiciary including local district courts, is strained and limited by the resources we have been providing." Graves declared in his State of the State address. Some of the court system's budget problems stem from conditions unique to the judicial branch. The courts' budget is heavy on personnel costs. ine state spends about $932 million each year on employee pay, or 21 percent of its general fund revenues. Tape gives viewers glimpse of hostages in Phillipines The Associated Press The American public received a firsthand look at the treatment a Kansas missionary couple has received while held hostage in the Philippines. Gracia and Martin Burnham looked gaunt, and she fought back tears during excerpts of an interview aired on CBS's 48 Hours television news program Monday night. "This is no way to live," Gracia Burnham said. "There is no way to take care of yourself. Last night, I woke up with severe chest pains and there's nothing you can do. You just lay there and you're in pain. You can't sleep." The Wichita couple were surrounded in the jungle by armed members of the Abu Sayyaf, the militant Muslim group holding the couple hostage in the Philippines since May. The footage was taken from an interview originally aired on a Filipino cable station late last year. Meanwhile, activists Monday held a candlelight vigil on the capitol building grounds to remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the Burnhams. The couple's family planned to watch the news segment. Gracia Burnham told Filipino journalist Arlyn de la Cruz that she was always hungry and has sores from poor nutrition. "Each time they release someone," Gracia Burnham said, "they tell us. We're going to go out and we're going to tell your story. You're going to be out of "This is no way to live. There is no way to take care of yourself." Gracia Burnham here really soon.' And then the weeks pass and the months pass and then another hostage goes out and 'We're going to tell your story.' The couple's family has urged the government to work for their release. U.S. Special Forces hostage Cruz, now a CBS consultant, is a reporter for Philippine TV's Net 25. She traveled in disguise to the Basilan island where the Burnhams are being held. troops have arrived to help train Filipino soldiers battling Abu Sayyaf guerrillas. The group has been linked to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida terror network. The U.S. forces aren't there to fight — that is forbidden by the Philippine Constitution — but some could end up in combat zones. Although they would be observers, they would still be allowed to carry arms in self-defense. Philippines president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo told 48 Hours there were no longer any links between al-Qaida and the Abu Sayaf. She also claims that the terrorist group rarely talked about Muslim rights any more. "It's all about money," she said. Legislature's elections don't promise thrills The Associated Press Even those who promote campaigns acknowledge it's true: "Most of the congressional races are going to be pretty boring," said State Democratic Party Chairman Tom Sawyer. WASHINGTON - This election year will bring intense competition to Kansas politics, but not among the delegation to Congress. After indications otherwise, former Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman will not challenge Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts for re-election. Republican Reps. Jerry Moran and Todd Tiahrt will not run for governor. Democratic Rep. Dennis Moore, always a top GOP target, lacks a big-name challenger. Compare the field to the governor's race, which features three politicians holding statewide office, or the contest for attorney general, where two well-known Republicans already are trading jabs. Six months or so ago, the future looked more competitive for Roberts and the four Kansas House members. Glickman had surprised friends and foes alike by declaring his interest in a U.S. Senate bid, and his friend and fellow Democrat Moore was facing the possibility of a challenge from the state Republican Party chairman, Mark Parkinson. Moran, the Republican front-runner for governor, was deciding whether to jump in, and Tiahrd hadn't ruled out the race, either. Currently, the race to succeed Republican Gov. Bill Graves looks like this: Attorney General Carla Stovall and State Treasurer Tim Shallenburger are vying for the GOP nomination while Insurance Commissioner Kathleen Sebelius is the probable nominee on the Democratic side. Wichita Mayor Bob Knight may further crowd the Republican field. Federal Election Commission reports are due out Jan. 31, but some in the delegation have already revealed the size of their campaign war chests. Moran, who bowed out of contention for governor Sept. 17, will report campaign cash-on-hand of $600,927. Moore's report will show that he banked $580,640, nearly $80,000 more than he had at the same point in his last campaign. Roberts expects to report at least $685,000 cash on hand, and Tiahrt will report having socked away more than $406,000. Republican Rep. Jim Ryun said he could not yet provide his numbers. In the Wichita-area 4th District, immigration lawyer Carlos Nolla will try to improve his 42 percent showing in his 2000 challenge of Tiahir, who won a fourth term with 54 percent of the vote. It remains to be seen which Republican will emerge as Moore's challenger in the 3rd District of metropolitan Kansas City. Those running for the GOP primary include Overland Park plastic surgeon Jeff Colyer, who dropped out of the primary in 2000, and a political newcomer, pilot Adam Taff. Sprint executive Bill Grassie also is considering the GOP race. The Associated Press Witchita school keeps controversial book WICHITA—A book about an 11-year-old boy with an abusive, alcoholic father will stay on the shelves of the Haysville Middle School library. Parent Megan Waegener had challenged James Stevenson's The Bones in the Cliff, maintaining that sections of the books were inappropriate. A committee of parents, teachers and administrators decided to keep the book but make it off-limits to Waegener's child, said Sandy Bradshaw, district spokeswoman. The book is not part of the district's curriculum, she said. "I think it's ridiculous," Waegener said. "I think it should be removed." The father of main character, Pete, is hiding from a mob hitman. In one part, Pete sees some prostitutes on the street, something he has never seen before. Bradshaw said parents could appeal the committee's decision to the school board. Waegener said she had not decided whether she would pursue the issue further. SPORTS 1029 Massachusetts Opportunity knocks every day. $$$$ National Co. interviewing for team leaders.

With the mailer still at large, the FBI planned to double the reward to $2.5 million. Three months after anthrax hit Capitol Hill, senators and staff returned Tuesday to the nine-story Senate Hart Office Building, home to half of the 100 senators and closed since an anthrax-laden letter was opened there Oct. 17. "Igo in with confidence and a prayer," said Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn. In the investigation, scientists hope that identifying genetic markers will allow them to trace the anthrax used in the attacks to one of about a dozen labs that held samples of the commonly held Ames strain. Until now, no differences among the various anthrax samples had been pinpointed. But scientists at the Institute for Genetic Research in Rockville, Md., now say there appear to be a few subtle genetic variations between two anthrax samples they are comparing; anthrax used in the Florida attack and anthrax held by a British biode- fense lab that originally received its sample from the U.S. Army lab at Fort Detrick, Md. The anthrax attacks came to light after Robert Stevens, a photo editor for Florida-based tabloid publisher American Media Inc. was infected. Stevens later died. The differences still must be verified, a process now under way by researchers at Northern Arizona University, said Timothy D. Read, who heads the Institute for Genetic Research's effort to map anthrax's genes. Investigators still don't know who sent anthrax-tainted letters through the mail that have killed four people and infected more than a dozen others. Anthrax, like other bacteria grows by replicating itself. Each replication is virtually identical to its source. But sometimes small differences are created in copying the 5 million DNA base pairs that make up the bacteria's genetic structure. The Institute for Genetic Research, known as TIGR, began its sequencing of the genetic makeup of anthrax two years ago. After the attacks, it got a $200,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to expand its analysis to the anthrax used in Florida. Its success in finding genetic differences between the two anthrax samples was first reported Tuesday by The New York Times. Tokyo pledges billions to Afghanistan The Associated Press KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghanistan's civil servants were paid for the first time in six months yesterday — an $8 million total payout that will virtually wipe out money earmarked for a U.N. start-up fund. As Afghan officials turned to the work of rebuilding their country, interim Prime Minister Hamid Karzai urged the quick arrival of $4.5 billion in assistance that was pledged over the next several years at a conference of nearly 60 donor nations in Tokyo. "We are happy with the results of the conference," Karzai said. In a nod to concerns that the money would not reach Afghanistan's poor, Karzai pledged to be "a samurai against corruption." Not all were upbeat, however. The money promised was less than half the $10 billion over five years for which the U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Anan had hoped. European Union representative Klaus-Peter Klaiber said the money pledged was a "rather miserable amount," compared to Afghanistan's needs. In Kabul, for civil servants owed months of back pay, the billions pledged in Tokyo were less a cause for rejoicing than yesterday's wage payments, which were less than $30 each. "I am very, very happy," said Finance Ministry employee Abdel Jami, clutching a thick stack of afghanis, the Afghan currency — his pay for the second half of December and the first half of January. The pay packet, disbursed from a startup fund to help begin basic government operations, was 1.4 million afghanis, or $28, an average monthly government salary. The government has no money to pay back salaries yet, officials said. Some Afghan government employees have not been paid in eight months, well before the Taliban government fell. The leader of that government, Mullah Mohammed Omar, remained the focus of a U. S. hunt on yesterday — but the house-to-house searches by U.S. special forces and their Afghan allies in Helmand province failed to find him or any of his aides. Afghan sources said on condition of anonymity. U.S. officials refuse to comment on special forces operations. No strong leads on Omar's whereabouts had been reported since he disappeared two weeks ago in the mountainous Baghran area in Helmand province. At the time, he was said to be surrounded by hundreds of anti-Taliban fighters who were negotiating his surrender. Omar is the most wanted man in Afghanistan after bin Laden, but still has many supporters in southern Afghanistan, where the extreme Islamic militia he led was strongest. With an eye to keeping the Afghan government running and ensuring stability, Karzai urged international donors to deliver the first installments of their pledged money "immediately in the coming days so we can begin the process of reconstruction." The longer-term prospects for aid were still unclear, mainly because none of the big donors — the United States, Japan, the European Union and Saudi Arabia — made a pledge spanning more than three years. Also westerday: Hundreds of U.S. soldiers gathered in Kandahar yesterday to pay tribute to two comrades killed in Sunday's crash of their CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter. Five other Marines were injured in the crash, which came less than two weeks after a refueling tanker went down in Pakistan, killing all seven Marines on board. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, under fire from human rights groups, said yesterday the United States was treating the 158 war detainees at Guantanamo Bay "humanely," and in accordance with Geneva Conventions. Firm returns to trading after Sept.11 attack The Associated Press NEW YORK — The phones wailed for attention just the way they used to. The traders, hanging over their computer screens, hollered above the din, the same as before. And the buy and sell orders cascaded in, as if customers were trying in just the first hour after the opening bell to make up for all the days lost since Sept. 11. But if Tuesday's chaos was reassuring to workers at Sandler O'Neill & Partners, it wasn't business as usual. There was no Gus Economos there to give orders. No Kathy Hunt Casey to offer home decorating tips. No Tom Glasser to tell jokes. No Stacey McGowan to call you "friend." "The first time I had to tell someone they had a phone call, I stood up and looked around the room and it was a shock," said Jennifer Imbrogno, one of just four people, out of an equity desk of 24, who survived the attack on the World Trade Center. Sandler returned to stock trading Tuesday for the first time since it lost 66 of the 148 employees including leader Herman Sandler who once worked on the 104th floor of the trade center. In the weeks after the attack, the fragments of the business had been scattered among three offices. Some of the quarters were so cramped that employees joked about being assigned to the "trading closet." While those makeshift offices allowed Sandler to resume some of its operations, including consulting on mergers and managing debt offerings, stock trading had to wait for a floor. On Tuesday, all of Sandler's operations were finally consolidated in new quarters in a nondescript midtown Manhattan office building with a view of rooftop heating ducts. "To us, there was never an option," said Fred Price, chief operating officer. "Because not to press ahead would've been to give up." At 9:30 a.m., executive Terry Maltese pronounced the market open. There was brief applause from traders, but the clapping ended almost immediately when telephones started ringing. Soon, conversation was replaced by shouts to buy and sell, the sounds of markets being made. Before Sept. 11, Sandler specialized in trading the stocks of small banks and financial firms. On Tuesday, clients eager to give the firm business called in orders to buy and sell stocks for big companies like General Electric and Lucent, whose ticker symbols do not normally circulate at Sandler. That made the pace even more frenetic. "As soon as you see somebody throw a phone, you know we're alive," said Robert Castrigrnano, a former Goldman Sachs executive who took early retirement last June, then put aside golf for a job heading Sandler's equity desk. "As soon as you hear a curse word, you know we're back in the saddle." On keyboards and on the corners of desks, workers had placed ornaments to lost friends, along with words of consolation and encouragement from well-wishers. "Good Luck — You Guys Are Gonna Do Great Things!" read a note on trader Jennifer Blase's keyboard. A crystal sculpture commissioned by Sandler will be installed in the lobby, on a base inscribed with 70 names — the 66 employees, two consultants and two visitors to the firm who were killed. "It will be to remind everybody that there's a piece of us that's gone." Price said, "but that will never be forgotten."

Kmart became the biggest retailer in history to seek court protection from creditors. The nation's No. 3 discounter had long struggled to compete with Wal-Mart and Target, and went into an alarmingly steep slide after a disappointing holiday season. Last weekend, it failed to pay its top food supplier $78 million. Analysts said they expected Kmart to close about 300 of its 2,114 U.S. stores. Kmart said that it would close only weak stores and that it expected to emerge from Chapter 11 next year. "We are determined to complete our reorganization as quickly and smoothly as possible," chief executive Chuck Conaway said. On the New York Stock Exchange, Kmart closed down $1.04 at 70 cents. Its stock had traded as high as $13.55 last summer. By the time Kmart figures out its business strategy, customers may have found somewhere else to shop. Analysts said filing for bankruptcy meant the shelves were not going to be fully stocked, something Kmart was already struggling with. "You're going to frustrate customers and they're going to go and it's going to be hard to get them back," said Emme Kozloff with Bernstein Sanford. Hutchison, 51, was most recently chief financial officer of Advantica Restaurant Group Inc., where he and Adamson were instrumental in the company's reorganization. Kmart, which has 275,000 employees, said it had secured $2 billion in financing to keep going. The first Kmart discount store was founded in 1962 and the chain got its official badge in 1977, when the S.S. Kresge Co. changed its name to Kmart Corp. Kmart introduced the Blue- The Martha Stewart Everyday brand, which includes sheets, towels, paints and kitchenware, is Kmart's largest volume-producing label, generating about $1 billion in sales last year. Light Special in 1965, flashing blue police lights in the aisles to lure customers to discounted items. Stewart has a provision in her contract that allows her to exit Kmart in case of bankruptcy, but such a move has to be approved by a bankruptcy judge. Martha Stewart officials did not return calls for comment. The bankruptcy filing in federal court in Chicago was good news for Kmart's suppliers, including food wholesaler Fleming Cos. The company cut off shipments Monday, saying it was owed $78 million. Kmart has nearly $16.3 billion in assets, making it the largest retailer ever to declare bankruptcy. Federated Department Stores, with $9.1 billion in assets, was the biggest when it filed for bankruptcy in 1990. Last week, Kmart ousted its president and named a new chairman, James Adamson, to replace Conaway, who remains as chief executive. On Tuesday, named Ronald Hutchison as the Fleming said Tuesday it intended to resume deliveries to Kmart "upon receiving satisfactory assurances from Kmart, via the bankruptcy court." head of its restructuring. Other suppliers have delayed or stopped shipments to Kmart, but the bankruptcy filing is expected to restore their confidence. still, "the one thing Chapter 11 can't solve is the quality of actual merchandise and sales," said bankruptcy expert Martin Zohn of Proskauer LLP. FBI investigates document shredding at Enron The Associated Press HOUSTON — FBI agents arrived at Enron's headquarters yesterday to investigate allegations of document shredding, while shareholders suing the fallen energy giant asked a federal judge to bar the company and its former auditor from destroying any more records. Enron's former auditor, Arthur Andersen, acknowledged this month that its Houston office had shredded Enron-related documents. The office is already under a court order not to destroy any more Enron files. Enron said it had posted security guards to block employees from floors holding accounting and finance records. "The company has done everything you'd expect under these circumstances," Enron attorney Kenneth Marks told U.S. District Judge Melinda Harmon. The judge urged attorneys for both sides to come up with a plan to protect company documents and get back to her today. Enron slid into the biggest bankruptcy in U.S. history last month after investigators began Andersen attorney Rusty Hardin also told the judge the company has Enron-related documents under guard. Marks, the Enron attorney, said company officials late Monday seized a trash can filled with shredded documents after learning of the allegations. The company said the FBI was called in at its request. looking at a series of complex partnerships that were used to keep hundreds of millions in losses off the books. Thousands of employees lost their jobs and their retirement nest eggs when Enron stock crashed. "This is the shredded evidence that we got out of Enron," Lerach said as he entered court. Shareholders are suing Enron executives and directors over more than $1 billion they gained from selling Enron stock from 1998 through last November. One of the shareholder attorneys, William Lerach, carried a box of shredded paper into court yesterday, saying it came from a former Enron executive who saw Enron employees destroying documents as recently as last week. The allegations that Enron employees were shredding documents at the 50-story headquarters were made public in a court brief released Monday by Lerach's law partner, Paul Howes. She said the shredding continued through at least Jan. 14 and involved thousands of documents. In it, Maureen Raymond Castaneda, who was laid off last week as Enron's director of foreign exchange and sovereign risk, said a "gather-reviewshred" process involving finance and accounting employees began Oct. 31, when the Securities and Exchange Commission announced a formal investigation into Enron's finances. "The shredding is over," he said. Lerach said Castaneda took boxes of shredded documents home, intending to use it as packing material. She gave Lerach's team the shreds, which Howes said were clearly marked as related to the partnerships that led to the company's downfall. The lawyers welcomed the arrival of the FBI. "I'd be surprised if there's any more shredding after that," Lerach said. He said he was satisfied 'the FBI can watch over them." Robert Bennett, a Washington lawyer representing Enron, said the company told employees after coming under investigation that they were not to destroy relevant documents. He said the company was looking into charges that papers were destroyed despite that directive. In other developments yesterday: The White House disclosed that President Bush's mother-in-law, Jenna Welch, had invested in Enron and lost $8,100. Bush, a friend of Enron chairman Kenneth Lay, said again he had no intention of releasing details of Enron contacts with White House aides who developed his energy plan, saying if "somebody has an accusation of wrongdoing, let me know." Congressional investigators said they would subpoena senior officials at Arthur Andersen, including the chief executive and a fired auditor, to force their testimony tomorrow. NEW YORK The third consecutive monthly gain in a key gauge of U.S. economic activity signaled that the nation's recession may soon be over, but investors continued to fret about the timing of a recovery. Investors skeptical despite economic gains The Associated Press The New York-based Conference Board said yesterday that its Index of Leading Economic Indicators rose a strong 1.2 percent in December following a revised rise of 0.8 percent in November and an increase of 0.1 percent in October. It was the largest monthly gain since February 1996. Analysts had been expecting a December increase of about 0.7 percent. Three upward movements in the index generally indicate that the economy will expand in the next three to six months. The economy has been contracting since March. The Conference Board, a business-funded research group, said the November-December gains were the largest for two consecutive months since November December 1992 following the 1990-91 recession. "The strong signal from the indicators means that the recession could be over soon," the board's economist, Ken Goldstein, said in a statement accompanying the report. "Three successive monthly increases, each larger than the one before, bring the level of the leading series above the pre-recession peak." He attributed the latest rises to Federal Reserve cuts in short-term interest rates and strong growth in the nation's money supply. He said he believed that the recession would end in the first quarter this year, but that the recovery would be lackluster. The Dow Jones industrial average closed-58.05 at 9713.80 falling back from an earlier advance of 70. But the report failed to impress investors. Gary Thayer, chief economist at A.G. Edwards & Sons Inc. in St. Louis, called the December report "a very positive sign for the economy." The technology-oriented Nasdaq composite index fell 47.81 to 1882.53 — a level last seen in early December. The Standard & Poor's 500 index lost 8.27 to 1119.31. Be the change you want to see.

The violence provoked outrage and warnings of retaliation on both sides. Mideast tensions are again surging after several weeks of relative calm, with the Israelis effectively keeping Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat under house arrest at his West Bank government compound, and militant Palestinians abandoning an informal truce. The Israelis said they launched yesterday's commando raid in the West Bank city of Nablus and other pre-empive operations because Arafat repeatedly refused to act against militants. They also held Arafat responsible for the shooting attack on one of west Jerusalem's busiest streets. "You can certainly expect an Israeli reaction," said Israeli government spokesman Avi Pazner. "Israel has done very little until now. Apparently this was not strong enough medicine and maybe a strong reaction is needed." At least eight people were shot, including six who were seriously wounded, and more than 20 people were treated for shock, rescue officials said. linked to Arafat's Fatah movement, said the man's uncle, Adnan Ramadan. The shooting was retaliation for last week's killing of an Al Aqsa Brigades' leader, sources in the group said. The recent series of pre-empive Israeli military strikes has raised speculation that Israel is trying to bring down Arafat, who has been confined to the West Bank city of Ramallah since early December. Israeli tanks have surrounded Arafat's government compound since last Friday. The gunman, Saeed Ramadan, was a member of the Al Aqa Brigades, which is On Monday, Israeli troops took over the West Bank town of Tulkarem and arrested at least 11 militants. On Tuesday, the Israelis pulled out of the town after the 30-hour operation, which left one Palestinian dead in a gunbattle. In the Israeli raid in the West Bank town of Nablus early yesterday, Israel commandos entered a ground-floor apartment in a nine-story residential building where Hamas fugitives were hiding, Palestinian witnesses said. Palestinian medics found three bodies lying on a floor covered with mattresses and the fourth in the shower, in a sitting position. The man in the shower was stripped to his underwear and the shower tiles were smeared with blood. Soldiers found large amounts of explosives in the apartment, and nine suspects were arrested, the army said. Shortly afterward, more than 2,000 Hamas supporters rioted outside Palestinian police headquarters in Nablus, demanding freedom for Hamas detainees. Protesters burned three police cars, overturned a fourth and threw stones at officers who responded with live fire, tear gas and stun grenades. Town in Congo struggles after earthquake The Associated Press GOMA, Congo — Thousands of Congolese lined up for water at a church and other points around this wrecked city yesterday as relief agencies trucked in food and tents for some 90,000 people left homeless by a volcanic eruption. Aid workers were setting up water distribution systems and planning to start delivering food on Wednesday in Goma, where tens of thousands fled the streams of lava that cut through the lakeside city from Thursday's eruption of Mount Nyiragongo. "We are finally getting some momentum" on distributing aid, said Michael Despine, the head of the International Rescue Committee's operation in Goma. Earthquakes related to the eruption continued to rattle the region yesterday. In neighboring Rwanda, just across the border from Goma, more than 288 homes and 19 schools have been destroyed since the tremblers began last week, the Ministry of Local Government said. While trucks loaded with blankets and plastic sheeting rumbled down Goma's streets, hundreds of aid workers and U.N. staff from around the world met in a hotel to coordinate the relief effort. More than 30 percent of Goma's residential neighborhoods were destroyed by lava, said Ross Mountain, the U.N. deputy emergency relief coordinator. An estimated 90,000 people are homeless. Mwendo Kambale, an office worker and father of four, said his family was sleeping outdoors in the rain and had run out of food on Sunday. "The food is arriving very slowly," Kambale said. "I'm not happy because now I have no job, no home, no money and very few clothes." Tens of thousands have fled the city, seeking shelter with families and friends in other Congolese towns and villages. Patrick Nicholson, spokesman for the Catholic relief group COFAD, said workers had registered 10,000 honeless families in Goma so far and were ready to begin handing out aid. Shipments of blankets, tents and other essential nonfood items arrived yesterday on trucks from Atlanta-based CARE and the U.S. Agency for International Development. About 90 percent of Goma's business district was consumed by lava when Mount Nyiragongo, 12 miles to the north erupted, In Kinshasa, Congolese Security Minister Mwenze Kongolo accused rebel authorities in Goma of "irresponsibility" for failing to evacuate residents in time and for refusing to allow a government delegation to deliver relief supplies. sending huge lava flows through the city and cutting it in half. The government has allocated $1.37 million to aid volcano victims, and negotiations were underway with rebel and U.N. authorities about getting the supplies to Goma, he said. Goma was one of the few centers in eastern Congo with a functioning economy, and the destruction of its business and inventories spells hardship for all for the foreseeable future. Rwandan-backed rebels who control the city have no resources of their own to assist the victims. ms NEW & USED COLLEGE TEXTBOOKS DAILY BOOK BUY BACK KU GAME GEAR ART & DESIGN SUPPLIES ACADEMIC PRICED SOFTWARE Jayhawk Bookstore "MORE THAN A BOOKSTORE" CARDS/GIFTS Ready for... ...more used books per book? ...needed Art & Design supplies? ...PC & MAC software @ college prices? ...extended hours for convenience? ...free storeside parking, ATM, & 7 day/week shopping? ...fast check outs? ...help that helps? ...cash, check, KU or credit cards?

The post criticized the newspaper for having a liberal editorial who opposes military involvement in Afghanistan and for having an anti-immigrant editorial that uses racial language to attack Muslims. This piece choreo-charted the worst worldwide terrorist events, but it "forgot about the many other terrorist attacks in the U.S." It focused on the military in Afghanistan, where the American troops have killed more than 10,000 civilians since the end of the war. The Navy also targeted civilians in Iraq and Pakistan, where the American troops have killed more than 2,500 civilians since the end of the war.

Some of his best players have come from the Hawkeye state. Juniors Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich did all a high school basketball player could do there, and who could forget that former All-American Raef LaFrentz developed most of his skills in the state known for its "fields of opportunity." But as much as Williams likes plucking talent out of Iowa, right now he doesn't want to go back. He'd rather shuck corn with the LaFrentz family in Monona than tip-off in Ames tonight. The Jayhawks have lost five straight to Iowa State, the most consecutive losses to any team in Williams' 14-year coaching tenure. KANSAN FILE PHOTO And no other coach has owned Roy the way Iowa State coach Larry Eustacy has — putting up an 83.3 percent winning percentage against Williams. Not even Hinrich and Collison, who were named co-Iowa Mr. Basketball in 1999, have had an impact. The duo, along with Drew Gooden are winless and none have scored more than 15 points in games against the Cyclones. But that should all change tonight. Iowa State (9-10 overall, 1-4 Big 12 Conference) is down. It's a team trying to keep its head above water in the Big 12 while the Jayhawks (15-2, 4-0) are crashing through and makes waves. But don't look for any life-preservers. The 'Hawks have all the motivation in the world. But revenge might not be enough tonight. Even the biggest dunk from Gooden — who tied Iowa State's Marcus Fizer for the most Big 12 player of the week awards in a season this week with four — will have the same level of significance as Fizer's game-winning shot in Allen Fieldhouse during Gooden's freshman season. Iowa State has taken something that Kansas may never get back. The Cyclones have won the past two Big 12 championships, while Eustacy has won an Associated Press Coach of the Year award and has been runner-up. Plus, the Cyclones have an Elite Eight appearance in the 2000 NCAA tournament. Hinrich and Jeff Boschee can bomb away from three-point range all they want tonight in Hilton Coliseum. They could even hit shots from the Cyclone in the middle of the floor, but that's not going to take back the treys that playground legend and current Indiana Pacers guard Jamaal Tinsley and Kantrail Horton put up against the Jayhawks in the last two seasons. This isn't Kansas' longest losing streak. That would be 11-straight losses to Kentucky. But who knows? If Cyclones sophomores Jake Sullivan and Shane Power play like they did in the last meeting between the two teams, Kansas could have its work cut out for it. The pair combined for 40 points at Hilton and secured a 79-71 victory. Kansas knows how to exact revenge. The Jayhawks already went to rowdy Gallagher-Iba Arena this month and spanked No. 6 ranked Oklahoma State 79-61. Look for more tonight as Williams will have Kansas pumped. If not, the Jayhawks will have fallen to "Hilton's Magic" once again. Samuelson is a Wichita senior in journalism. Contact him at sports@kansan.com.

MEN'S BASKETBALL 'Winds'of change? 21 STATE KANSAS 6 By Doug Pacey Kansan sportswriter Call it the Hilton House of Horrors. With the exception of the Hearnes Center at Missouri, Iowa State's Hilton Coliseum is the place where Kansas has had the least amount of success since the Big 12 Conference formed in 1996. The No. 2 Jayhawks (15-2 overall, 4-0 Big 12) are 2-3 in their five games in Ames, Iowa, and 0-5 in their last five games against the Cyclones (9-10 overall, 1-4 Big 12). Kansas will get a chance to change that trend when it takes on the Cyclones at 8 tonight in Ames. Coach Roy Williams said the Jayhawks' wins against Oklahoma State and Oklahoma were not reasons to expect a victory against Iowa State. "Our players will be focused, and they'll be enthused about playing because they've kicked our tails for a long time," he said. In Kansas' 64-62 loss to Iowa State on Feb. 16, 2000, in Lawrence, Big 12 Player of the Year and All-American Marcus Fizer made a last-second jumper that put away the Jayhawks. Last year guards Kantrail Horton and Jamaal Tinsley combined for 37 points and were 7-for-10 from behind the three-point arc in Iowa State's 79-77 win in Lawrence. The Cyclones made 64.7 percent of their three-pointers in the game, 11 of 17. "They are without Tinsley and Horton, who were such threats to do everything," Williams said. "They could defend you, they could pass, they could dribble, they could shoot, they could get to the foul line. You don't lose two players like that and immediately go back to the same level. When we played Iowa State last year at their place, do you know who the heroes of the game were? It was Jake Sullivan and Shane Power, and they're both still there."

"We are a SEE CYCLONES PAGE 3B Women hoping to challenge K-State By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter bramlage, which seats 13,500, is expected to be at near-sellout capacity for the game at 7 tonight. That much purple and white may spell bad news for the Jayhawks, who are looking to snap their longest losing streak in school history — six games — against the No. 11 Wildcats. Tonight's crowd at Bramlage Coliseum for the Kansas-Kansas State game could outnumber the total attendance of all the Jayhawk women's home games combined this season. "I don't think it will affect us," said senior guard K.C. Hilgenkamp of the likely sold-out crowd. "We're big rivals with K-State and it would be really good for us confidence-wise to get a win there." The Jayhawks (5-14, 0-6 in the Big 12 Conference) have held 16 of their 19 opponents to less than 50 percent shooting this season. Kansas State, however, is shooting a league-best 50.9 percent from the field, the fourth-highest mark in the nation. Sophomore Nicole Ohlde and freshmen Kendra Wecker and Laurie Koehn each average double figures for the Wildcats.

Men's team still anxious about flying By Brent Wasko By Brent Wasko Kansan sportswriter "I hate flying," Boschee said. "I never could stand it." If Kansas guard Jeff Boschel had his way, the Jahayh men's basketball team would never have to fly to road games. “It’s a scary thing,” freshman guard Aaron Miles said. “I just have to assume we'll get to where we need to go fine. Fortunately, nothing has gone wrong yet.” Boschee is not the only member of the team that is apprehensive about traveling on planes. It has been nearly one year since a small charter plane carrying Oklahoma State players, coaches and friends crashed in Colorado on a snowy day, and Kansas players have not forgotten the tragedy. The team is so concerned about travel safety, the players voted to take a bus to Iowa State for today's game for the first time in several decades, according to administrative assistant C.B. McGrath. "After hearing about the Oklahoma State crash, it's difficult not to say 'shoot, that could have been us,'" said McGrath, who played for Kansas from 1995-1998 and has been an administrative assistant for three years. "Obviously, when you see something like that happen, it puts a certain amount of fear in the back of your mind." Since the plane crash, which took place Jan. 27, 2001, McGrath said the Jayhawks had stopped flying in charter planes. The team used to travel in a 30-seat propeller plane. The Oklahoma State crash occurred in a small 11-seat charter aircraft. This season, coach Roy Williams put McGrath in charge of the Jayhawks' travel schedule. He works with John Novotny, a travel agent at Travellers Inc., 831 Massachusetts St. to come up with the most convenient and inexpensive flights available. "Hardly anyone on the team likes flying, especially when we take those little propeller planes," Boschee said. "We decided not to take those anymore. I think I'm probably the most afraid of flying on the team." "We had to be very careful on charter flights not to exceed the weight limit," McGrath said. "We sometimes had to leave some equipment behind, and we were rarely served drinks on the plane because there just wasn't enough room." McGrath said taking commercial flights this year had been advantageous for the team. It's cheaper than flying on a charter plane and there is more room for equipment. "There is a rule that players can only miss so many days of class due to travel," Novotny said. "As with any athletic team, we try to make the players feel as comfortable as possible." Traveling on commercial planes has caused a few problems for the team. Since the Sept. 11 attacks, security has been tighter at airports, forcing the team to schedule in more time for its travel. Novotny said finding a flight schedule that was convenient for every player had been a challenge. McGrath said the decision to fly on commercial planes was not made because they might be safer than charter planes. "I don't think safety was much of an issue," he said. "The staff was more worried about the guys feeling more secure about flying." Kansas is traveling on a bus today to Ames, Iowa, to face Iowa State. But the squad is taking a flight to Saturday's game in College Station, Texas, against Texas A&M. Oklahoma State will host a game this Saturday against Colorado. The school will honor the victims of last year's plane crash at halftime with a moment of silence. Contact Wasko at bwasko@kansan.com.

Dungy had returned home after being in Mobile, Ala., for the Senior Bowl earlier yesterday. Anderson said. "It's not officially done until it's signed off on." Anderson said. "We haven't worked everything out, but there's nothing that's insurmountable." Team owner Jim Irsay did not return a telephone message left at his office yesterday.

LAKE PLACID, N.Y. — Jack Shea, the patriarch of the first family with three generations of Olympians, died early yesterday from injuries in a car accident. At 91, he was America's oldest living Winter Games gold medalist. Shea's grandson, Jim Shea Jr., qualified last month for the U.S. Olympic skeleton team for the Salt Lake City Games. Jim Shea Sr. competed in the Nordic combined and two cross-country ski races at the 1964 Innsbruck Games. Jack Shea won two gold medals in speedskating at the 1932 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, his hometown. The Monday afternoon car crash occurred in Lake Placid, N.Y., less than a mile from Shea's home. A van driven by Herbert J. Reynolds, 36, of Saranac Lake, N.Y., slid out of control and hit Shea's car, police said. Speedskating didn't come naturally to Jack Shea. His first race -at age 7- was a disaster that saw him sprawled on the ice 15 feet from the starting line. In tears, he was picked up off the ice by the local police chief, Tom Black, who told him there would be other races. When the Winter Games came to Lake Placid for the first time in 1932, the 22-year-old Shea skated past the Scandinavian stars to win gold in the 500-meter event in 43.4 seconds. That was six-tenths of a second faster than his idol, Charles Jewtraw, posted in winning gold in 1924 at Chamonix. Reynolds was arrested for driving while intoxicated and other charges. "When I stood on that dais to get the gold medal and I heard the national anthem of the United States, how proud I was to represent my country, my community, my father and mother, to follow in the footsteps of Charlie Jewtraw," Shea said in 1990.

He set the previous 200-meter record on Friday in a World Cup meet in Paris. Moses won two silver medals at the Sydney Olympics, in the 100 breaststroke and in a medley relay.

Sullivan hit 6-of-8 three-pointers and scored 22 points, while Power was a perfect 4-of-4 and had 18 points in the Cyclones' 79-71 win. "We haven't had any luck there at all since I've been here," junior forward Nick Collison said. "I'd be nice to get a win. Kirk (Hinrich) and I usually have about 35 tickets between us for that game." This might finally be the year nat Collison and Hinrich get a win in their home state. Iowa State, the defending conference champions, has defeated just one conference opponent, a 71-61 upset against Missouri on Jan. 9, and lost to Kansas State 63-52 Saturday in Manhattan. However, the Cyclones have the Big 12's second-leading scorer, Tyray Pearson, a 6-foot-7 220-pound senior forward. Pearson is averaging 19 points and 8.4 rebounds per game, and Sullivan is second on the team with 16.2 points per game and has made 49.2 percent of his three-point attempts. Though the Cyclones don't have big-name players like Fizer and Tinsley, Drew Gooden said there was no reason Kansas should be over-confident. "We haven't won there in a long time—we have no reason to be confident," the Kansas junior forward said. "This is a big game for them, and they're going to be ready to play like they have been in the past." Note: Gooden was named Big 12 Player of the Week for the fourth time this season after averaging 18 points and 8.5 rebounds per game in wins against No. 6 Oklahoma State It's the most times a Kansas player has been named Player of the Week in one season and ties former Cyclone Marcus Fizer, who won the award four times in the 1999-2000 season. and No. 5 Oklahoma last week. Fizer also holds the record for receiving the award the most times in a career with six. Gooden is tied for second with former Jayhawk Rae LaFrentz and former Texas Tech player Corey Carr with four each. Contact Pacey at sports@kansan.com. This story was edited by Sarah Smarsh. CYCLONES CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B young team, and we have a very small margin for error. We have to get the most out of our team every night." Iowa State has struggled against Big 12 teams. The Cyclones are coming off a 63-52 road loss to Kansas State, which put the team below the .500 mark for the first time since 1998. If Iowa State loses to Kansas, the squad will be 1-5 in the Big 12 for the first time since 1994. Brown said the Cyclones have made a lot of mental mistakes this season. "There's things we have to bring up with the team every night," Brown said. "We haven't been able to play consistently in the Big 12, but we have lost a lot of close games." Graduation cost Iowa State some of the school's best-ever offensive players during the past two seasons. Former players Marcus Fizer, Jamal Tinsley and Kantrail Horton each played a major part in sinking the Jayhawks the past two seasons. "They are without Tinsley and Horton, who were such threats to do everything," Kansas coach Roy Williams said. "You don't lose two players like that and immediately get back to the same level." Brown said Fizer, Tinsley and Horton were not the only reasons Iowa State had had so much success against Kansas. He suggested that strategy had been more important. “Our wins had something to do with having Tinsley and Fizer, but I'm not sure that's all it was,” Brown said. “There's a certain way we play each team. We try to be very patient against Kansas.” Brown added that he hoped to contain the Jayhawks' transition game and force them into more of a half-court offense. "If we can get back and set our defense, that's huge," he said. "We want to make them pass the ball more than they'd like. There's not a special answer for Kansas." Iowa State's offense has been inconsistent this season, but the team is not without a few weapons. Senior forward Tyray Pearson is third in the Big 12 in scoring, averaging 19 points per game. He is also strong on the boards, grabbing 8.4 rebounds per game, which ranks fifth in the Big 12. bwasko@kansan.com. This story was edited by Justin Henning.

KANSAN FILE PHOTO Standout Hawkeyes come off bench, boost Iowa against Michigan State The Associated Press IOWA CITY, Iowa — Benched at the start of the game for the first time this season, Luke Recker and Pierre Pierce delivered at the end for Iowa. Recker sank three free throws in the final 1:03, and Pierce hit two and gave Iowa the lead as the Hawkeyes beat Michigan State 75-71 Tuesday night, breaking a three-game losing streak. For Recker, an encouraging call from his sister proved to be prophetic. "My sister called me today and said, 'It's not who starts the game, it's who finishes the game,'" Recker said. "She's right. Obviously, I'd like to start, but whatever is best for the team, I will do." Iowa coach Steve Alford shuffled his lineup to try to shake his team out of its dodrums, starting Ryan Hogan and Brody Boyd in place of Recker and Pierce. Recker still ended up with 16 points and Pierce played excellent defense on Michigan State's Marcus Taylor in the second half in addition to making his clutch free throws. "Everyone had to understand their role and they did," Alford said. "It isn't easy to take players out of the game when they make mistakes, but that's what we needed, so I hope we got their attention." Playing its first game this season as an unranked team, Iowa (14-7, 3-4 Big Ten) recovered after blowing a nine-point lead in the second half and broke an eight-game losing streak to Michigan State. Michigan State (11-8, 2-4) shot 53 percent for the game but did not score after Taylor hit a jump shot to put the Spartans ahead 71- 70 with 1:17 left. Taylor led al. scorers with 20 points but had only six in the second half on 2-for-8 shooting. "I think their two guards, Pierce and Chauncey Leslie, are better defensively and that had something to do with it," Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said of Taylor's second-half shooting. "Another thing might be I only took him out once. We were wearing him down." Recker hit a free throw with 1:03 remaining to tie the score at 71. After Michigan State's Kelvin Torbert missed a 3-point shot, Taylor drove for a shot, but Pierce stripped the ball and was fouled going to the other end. "I saw an opening and I figured I could take it up in there," Taylor said. "It's a situation where I didn't think about the shot clock. I just wanted a basket so we could go back on defense." After a hug from Recker, Pierce made both free throws with a 73-71 Iowa lead with 22.3 seconds left. "I just said, 'You're a big-time player, Pierre, and big-time players make these free throws at the end,'" Recker said. Recker then came up with the ball after Taylor missed a three-point attempt and made two final free throws with 2.1 seconds to play. Reggie Evans also scored 16 points for Iowa, which for the first time in Big Ten play had more assists (14) than turnovers (11). Glen Worley added nine points and had four of Iowa's 13 steals. Torbert scored 14, while Aloysius Anagonye and Chris Hill each had 10 for the Spartans. Michigan State finished the game without Anagonye and Ballinger, its top inside players.

Jayhawks face unusually strong 'Cats By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter In the past, the Kansas women's basketball team has had success when playing at Bramlage Coliseum, winning four of its last six meetings against Kansas State. But this year, Kansas heads to Manhattan as the underdog. The Jayhawks (5-14 overall, 0-6 in Big 12 Conference play) take on No. 11 K-State at 7 p.m. in Manhattan. The Wildcats have surprised onlookers all season, building a 17-2 overall record and a 5-1 Big 12 mark. The preseason Big 12 coaches' poll picked them to finish seventh in the conference. "They shoot the ball very well with long-range shooters," Kansas coach Marian Washington said. "We have to focus on defending the perimeter." The Wildcats are led by three outstanding young scorers. Sophomore Nicole Ohlde and freshmen Laurie Koehn and Kendra Wecker help K-State average close to 80 points a game. Koehn, armed with a dangerous outside shot, leads the way with an 18.3 point-per-game average. Tonight's game will mark the 82nd time the intrastate rivals have met. K-State leads the series 41-40, and Patterson said that her players would be ready for the chance to beat Kansas for the first time since 1999. "I know they're hungry." Patterson said. "I know they're looking forward to their next opportunity to take the floor. "These kids love to play.

STUDENT SENATE WEDNESDAY.JAN.23.2002 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5B SPORTS Police: Evidence backs claim against Tyson The Associated Press LAS VEGAS — Police investigators found evidence they contend supports a woman's claim she was raped by Mike Tyson, although charges have not been filed against the former heavy-weight champion. "We think there's probable cause to believe a crime occurred," said police Lt. Jeff Carlson, commander of the sex crimes unit. Police gave results of the four-month investigation yesterday to the office of Clark County District Attorney Stewart Bell. Chermaine Gord, a representative for Bell, said prosecutors needed more time to review the information before making a decision on whether to file sexual assault charges against Tyson, who served three years in an Indiana prison for a 1992 rape conviction. Tyson's representative Scott Miranda, reached in New York after Tyson scuffled with boxer Lennox Lewis at a news conference to promote their April fight in Las Vegas, said the boxer cooperated with authorities throughout the investigation. Charges alone would not affect Tyson's attempt to renew his expired boxing license in Nevada, state boxing regulators said. However, if he were convicted, he could be barred from fighting in the state. Tyson's Nevada boxing license was suspended for one year after he bit Evander Holyfield's ear in a 1997 fight. A hearing is scheduled for Jan. 29. Greece behind schedule on Olympics The Associated Press The Greek government has been unable to overcome problems with accommodation and transportation in planning for the 2004 Athens Games, IOC officials said after their latest inspection visit. Denis Oswald, the International Olympic Committee official monitoring Athens, said yesterday his six-member team had a generally "positive" picture after a two-day review of preparations and was optimistic that Greece would be ready for the Olympics. But he was still disappointed about the accommodation and transportation problems. "Things are very tight because of the time lost at the beginning and we can consider that the situation will be at risk until the opening of the games," Oswald said. "We have to keep the pressure ... We have no reserve days for an unexpected situation." Delays have plagued Athens' preparations since it was awarded the Olympics in 1997, forcing the IOC to issue numerous and often dire warnings until the Socialist government began tackling the problems last year. Many of the delays have been blamed on Greece's bureaucracy, court cases by Athenians opposed to some projects, and by political infighting among government ministers and the Athens organizing committee. Oswald said a lack of hotel rooms, both for Olympic officials and spectators, was Athens' biggest problem—a situation Oswald described as being in the "red." Athens organizers have booked 13,000 hotel rooms and 3,000 rooms on cruise ships to be docked in nearby Piraeus. Another 2,831 rooms are needed, Oswald said, adding that additional ships would create insurmountable management problems. Rooms for officials and other members of the "Olympic Family" represent about 90 percent Athens's hotel space, raising questions about where to lodge spectators. "We are disappointed that no progress has been made," Oswald said. Athens organizing chief Gianna Angelopoulos Daskalaki said alternatives included putting spectators in private homes and apartments. Others include package tours that would allow fans to stay in holiday resorts, then travel to Athens for events. Traffic is a great concern in this city of nearly 5 million people and 2 million cars, and Oswald described as "disappointing" a government decision to cancel construction of two of three proposed interchanges on a congested main avenue leading from the city "They must find a solution." Denis Oswald International Olympic Committee official center to the main Olympic complex. "They must find a solution," Oswald said. Oswald said he was also concerned about the timely delivery of rail cars for a tram connecting the city center with the sports venues in and around Hellenikon international airport, which is still being used, and for a suburban train linking the airport with the main Olympic complex. Oswald asked government officials to press for the use of electric trains on the suburban system and not opt for "polluting" diesel engines.

DEAR OCCUPANT, YOU MAY ALREADY BE A LOSER. Rebler "Champagne! Look what I found!" exclaims one of the young women. Among the other places where people get off the bus are the D&G boutique, the Magnolia Bakerv and the Furniture Co. First stop: Jimmy Choo, which rhymes with shoe — pairs of which cost $400 to $1,100. "Shhh!" another admonishes. fashions and sex toys. "Can you imagine? Getting kicked off the Sex and the City tour!" says a third. she says, "because we watch it together all the time." "You get to see a lot of sights," says Richard Kent, a 47-year-old San Diego-based pilot, who brought his 20-year-old daughter, Alexandra, to New York for the first time. "It is a great way of being able to see the city." The seven young women don't get booted off. But they get off willingly by the third stop, Patricia Field's store that specializes in floozy The bus is otherwise full, with about 40 women — mostly in their 20s and 30s — and a half-dozen guys checking out where the gals on the HBO series Sex and the City eat, hang out, shop and drink their cosmos. People on the bus see more city than sex on the Sex and the City tour, which costs $25. And that's fine with many of the people on board. Along the way, riders get tidbits about the show, background about Sarah Jessica Parker and co-stars Kim Cattrell, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon, and a trivia contest in which the female winners get little beaded necklaces and the men get leis.

Schieber is the captain for the women's frisbee team, the Bettys. By Stephanie Goettsch Kansan sportswriter Perhaps the ultimate secret of Kansas club sports are the Ultimate Frisbee teams. Last year alone, the men's team, the HorrorZontals, was shut out of the national tournament by the barest of margins. "We lost in regional semifinals to the eventual champions, Texas A & M," said "Zontals captain John Michael, Lake Elmo, Minn., senior. The women's team, nicknamed the Bettys, also performed well, making it to regionals but suffering some tough losses. But perhaps the most elusive and wonderful part of the secret is the teams' conviction. These athletes volunteer their time and effort without regard for money or recognition. "Ultimate is all about the spirit of the game," said Clay Davis, Topeka junior. HorrorZomals 2002 Spring Schedule CONTRIBUTED PHOTO B. Feb. 9 to 10: Mardi Gras Tournament at Baton Rouge La.

We want to go to nationals, throw in a new offense and dominate teams this year," said Horror-Zontrol coach Anthony Camastro, Evanston, Ill., graduate student and six-year Ultimate veteran. veteran. The Bettys have aspirations that parallel the 'Zontals. "We want to learn a lot more plays and perform better as a team," said Liz Moffitt, Nickerson graduate student. son graduate student Moffitt has been a member of the team for one and a half years. the HorrorZontals and the Bettys both practice from 8:30 p. m. to 11:00 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at Anschutz Sports Pavilion Anschutz sports is limited in Anschutz so we spend a lot of time on the track. Once the weather is nice, we practice outside at Shenk," coach Camastro said. The practices are run by the athletes, which Davis said promoted a communal atmosphere "It's more loosely run just because we know who has experience and knows what needs to be done,"he said. The teams plan their own schedule and travel to tournaments on a weekly basis. This season they begin in February with the Mardi Gras tournament in Baton Rouge, La. "Before 1996, I had never been outside of Kansas," Camasro said. "But then I joined the team, and I got to go to places like Colorado and California for spring break. It's been amazing." Better yet, the HorrorZontals and the Bettys have the privilege of having a home tournament, the April Fools Fest held at Shenk Complex at 23rd and Iowa Street. Participants celebrate the holiday in style, with both men and women adorning skirts, wigs and various odd apparel. "We have a lot of fun as a team, we're all really close," Moffitt said. The men and the women form a tight group of friends, confidants and some are even roommates. mates. The teams had their first practice yesterday, but are still in search of new players.

But the Tulsa, Okla., junior, felt overloaded with the other club meetings she already had to attend. Instead, Keith looked to one of her hobbies — knitting — for the answer. With the help of friends, Keith formed the Activist Craft Circle this month. "A couple of people kind of joked about it last year," said Keith, who is a member of groups such as Amnesty International and Students for a Free Tibet. "We'd talked about just getting lots of fun people together." Keith said she and activist friends decided there needed to be a place where members of activist organizations at KU could catch up. The craft circle would be a place where people could share ideas, relax and catch up on their craft projects. The Activist Craft Circle had its first meeting Tuesday, and Keith said that members of KU Greens, Amnesty International, KU Environs, Delta Force and Young Democrats attended. She said that the repetitive motions of knitting relieved stress, which was an added bonus to the discussions. Andrea Dyche, Shawnee junior, said it was relaxing to learn how to knit. "They're teaching me how to knit, then we'll try some other projects," said Dyche, who is also a KU Greens member. "But for know we're starting slow." Dyche said that some other future projects might include making jewelry and T-shirts. Keith said that the Activist Craft Circle meets at 6:00 p.m. the first and third Tuesday of every month at the fourth-floor lobby in the Kansas Union. UNIVERSITY TERM Alumna celebrates King legacy Contact Shaffer at shaffer@kansan.com. This story was edited by Justin Guenley. SARA SHEPERD/KANSAN Julie Robinson, U.S. District Judge for Kansas, listens to a question from one of about 45 audience members after giving a talk yesterday at ECM. The event was sponsored by ECM, Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity and United Methodist Campus Ministry in celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr. By Caroline Boyer Kansan staff writer Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s strong faith has had a "phenomenal impact" on Julie Robinson's life. Robinson, U.S. District Court Judge for Kansas and KU alumna, spoke of her admiration for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. yesterday at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries Noon Day Forum. "I think he did a very remarkable job of modeling for us, in a very modern era, what it looks like to be a Christian and to live out those ideals," Robinson said. Robinson kicked off the "Remembering Yesterday, Responding Today" activities in celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. ECM, 1204 Oread Ave., Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, and the United Methodist Campus Ministry organized the events. "Everything that is happening really tries to connect us with that history of Martin Luther King, but also looks toward the future," said Rev. Thad Holcombe, campus pastor for ECM. Robinson was appointed to the judgeship Dec. 14, 2001, becoming the first African American given a presidentially-appointed judgeship in Kansas. Though this means a great deal to her, she would rather not be the first. "It would feel a whole lot better if there were so many people of color that were appointed in the past that it wasn't even a big deal anymore." Robinson said. Jabari Wamble, vice president of Alpha Phi Alpha and Edmond, Okla., senior, also spoke at the meeting and requested donations to the Martin Luther King, Jr. memorial in Washington D.C. King was a member of Alpha Phi Alpha and the fraternity is raising money nationwide for the memorial. "Throughout the next couple of years there's going to be major fund-raising events for that." Wamble said. Other MLK events this week: A civil rights documentary "Eyes on the Prize" will be shown at 7 p.m. at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union. A candlelight vigil will begin at Wescoe Beach at 3 p.m. tomorrow and proceed to the Union. Contact Boyer at cboyer@kansan.com. This story was edited by Laurie Harrison. KU couples get married over break From traditional to Vegas, students, staff take time off to tie the knot during break By Summer Lewis Kansan staff writer Marriage can be planned and filled with tradition or it can be a spur of the moment thought for some KU students and a lecturer, who each married their significant other during winter break. Melissa Buren, Desoto junior, drove to Emporia to visit her boyfriend for two weeks during winter break. "One night we were sitting there deciding what to do and he said we should go to Las Vegas and get married," Buren said. "I said sure, so we jumped in the station wagon and two days later we arrived in Vegas." he wounded by a bullet. "He said that he had everything figured out and since it was our wedding then we needed to stay someplace nice," Buren said. "He disappeared for two hours that night. It turned out he had gone and gambled with all of our money, but luckily he won $2,300." She said they only had $700 of Christmas money to spend and disagreed when he wanted to stay at MGM Grand hotel. She said the next morning they went to find a place to do the "wedding thing." Everything in the wedding chapel was pink and tacky, and it had Sammy Davis Jr. and Elvis Presley impersonators, she said. "I don't know where they found a Sammy Davis Jr, with a real glass eye but it was great," Buren said. "Sammy walked me down the aisle and Elvis married us." She said they were able to stay one more night because of their big winnings, then drove back to Emporia the next day. Bunten married Norman Friedman, a Kansas City architect, on Jan. 5 at the St. Andrews Episcopal Church in Kansas City, Mo. Her parents were married at the same church in 1960 and are still together 42 years later. "We just hung out in Emporia the rest of the time," Buren said. "We haven't gotten it annulled yet but probably will. Most of all it was a big gag and it turned out to be free because we won back what we spent and then some." Mary Bunten, lecturer in the English Department, flew into Kansas City International Airport from her honeymoon in Rome, Italy, the night before classes started this semester. Bunten and Friedman met one another 12 years ago when they were in a wedding. After the wedding they went to lunch, but lost touch after that—he lived in Austin, Texas, and she attended graduate school at the University of Houston. "It's just a coincidence that we both ended up in Kansas City," Bunten said. "A mutual friend who worked at Norman's architecture firm realized that we knew each other, and that's how we hooked up. And the rest, as they say..." She said that she hadn't changed her name yet because he had to change his also. "I told him I would change my last name to Friedman if he would change his middle name, Kenneth, to Bunten." Bunten said. "Tradition isn't enough for me." Changing names is such a legal hassle especially if you are a professional, she said. Kristin Valentine, Lawrence junior, and Jacob Willard, 21, a former KU student, met in Oliver Hall during their freshman year. They got married Jan. 5. 2002 at Danforth Chapel on campus. Valentine said people told them that they should wait, but her parents were married while her mother was still in high school and had been happily married for 35 years. "It was special for us to be married at the Danforth Chapel because we had met on campus," Valentine said. "My mom made me a traditional pearl bracelet made of pearls from her wedding dress." She said that they wanted to get married during break because they didn't want to wait any longer. Contact Lewis at slewis@kansan.com. This story was edited by Jeremy Clarkson. ABROAD DURING ATTACKS USA DAILY tifies hijackers Rescuers search for miracles JON NESTERUK/KANSAN Senior Ben Armour copes with changes in America after studying abroad in Australia. Students return, find patriotic homeland By Mike Gilligan Kansan staff writer Molly Casey noticed things had changed in the United States when she visited her grandmother in Texas during winter break. "My Grandma had a huge American flag hanging in her window," Casey said."She never had it hanging there before." Casey, Sioux Falls, S.D. junior spent last semester studying in Florence, Italy, and Paris as part of the Humanities and Western Civilization Program. According to the Office of Study Abroad, 213 University of Kansas students were overseas last semester Casey, who left a week before the attacks, said she came home and found the United States different than when she left. "There were huge billboards that had American flags and one with the words 'United We Stand,'" she said. "Everyone seemed so patriotic." Ben Armour, Merriam senior, who studied abroad in Newcastle, Australia, last fall, said he thought people were more patriotic. "There are American flags everywhere, and people seem to be taking more pride in being American," he said. Maureen Perry, St. Paul, Minn., senior, who also studied abroad in Newcastle, Australia, said she noticed differences as well. "Air travel has been a lot more time consuming than before the attacks," Perry said. "Everyone has to stand a lot longer in line dealing with security." Perry also said friends of hers had become more patriotic. Armour also said people were watching more CNN and other news channels. "My parents only used to watch the news at 10 p.m.," Armour said. "Now it seems like they watch it all the time." "A friend of mine had downloaded songs like 'Proud to be an American' and 'God Bless America.'" Perry said. Amy Donnelly, Leawood junior, said she was surprised at the amount of coverage the war was getting in the United States. INSIDETODAY "Iwas studying in Edinburgh, Scotland, and we didn't really get much coverage over there," Donnelly said. "Here it seems like every channel is covering it."

NATION American Taliban member back; faces court, possible life in prison WASHINGTON (AP) — John Walker Lindh, the young Muslim convert accused of joining al-Qaida soldiers in Afghanistan, returned to the United States yesterday under FBI custody to face criminal charges that he conspired to kill fellow Americans. Lindh flew back aboard a military cargo plane amid extraordinary secrecy and security, two years after he left the United States for Yemen to study Arabic and Islam. He was captured in Afghanistan after a November uprising by Taliban prisoners in which a CIA officer was killed. Lindh, 20, will make his first courtroom appearance at 9 a.m. Thursday in federal court in Alexandria, Va., to answer to charges of conspiracy, providing material support to terrorists and engaging in prohibited transactions with the Taliban. If convicted,Lindh could spend the rest of his life in prison. CAMPUS Hall closing may cause room shortage The residence hall system will be 450 beds smaller next year when Ellsworth Hall closes for renovation during the 2002-2003 school year. Ken Stoner, director of the department of student housing, said housing would be guaranteed for incoming freshman for the Fall 2002 and Spring 2003 semesters. He said returning students wanting to continue living on campus would have preference over incoming freshmen. Those wanting to stay in their rooms in halls besides Ellsworth would have preference over those in Ellsworth who want to live elsewhere on campus next year, he said. "Assuming we have the same number of applicants accross the board, we may have about 350 people who cannot get in," Stoner said. Stoner said many of these people would probably be those who applied later in the summer. Because housing will be limited, students also will no longer be allowed to stay in a double room by themselves. Ellsworth will reopen in August 2003, with suite arrangement similar to those currently available in Lewis and Templin Halls. Caroline Boyer SUA to show free films to start semester Chandra Dunbar, program adviser for the KU Memorial Unions, said the SUAwould show Spaceballs at 7 and Zoolander at 9:30. Vouchers for the event will be available starting at 8:30 a.m. Friday at the SUA Box Office on the fourth-floor of the Union. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. Dunbar said the SUA was changing the way the film series was run because of the expense of showing movies that have not yet been released on VHS or DVD. She said attendance was better on Thursdays and Fridays. "Last semester we had two movies a week that ran Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday," she said. "This semester we will only be running one movie on Thursday and Friday." The Spring Film Series starts its new schedule Feb. 1 with Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

"The military was going to take over San Andres, and the townspeople were mobilizing everyone," he said. "The townspeople wanted international observers so that the government wouldn't open fire." French, Overland Park senior, left Dec. 26 for Chiapas to study Spanish and support the Zapatistas, a Mexican group based in Chiapas fighting for indigenous rights. He returned Jan. 13. "I wanted to learn more about the Zapatistas and become involved directly in the struggle," he said. French and the townpeople went to San Andres and gathered in front of the municipal building. "There was music and speeches," he said. "The military heard that people had gathered and they turned around." French traveled to Chiapas through the Schools for Chiapas program in San Diego. He paid $140 for room, board and classes for the entire trip. "The purpose of the program is to generate money to build schools for the indigenous people living in Chiapas, as well as raising the awareness of the movement worldwide." French said. He said volunteers taught the Spanish classes he attended. "The money we pay goes towards the building of new schools," French said. French traveled to Chiapas alone and stayed in the town of Oventic. "I shared a hut with another student from Australia and the teacher of our class," he said. French said the community was thriving with what it had, but the conditions could be improved. French said the community treated him well. "The community is extremely poor," he said. "There are some farms and scattered buildings, but not much else." "The people who go to the town are not just tourists," he said. "The townspeople respect you because you live the way they live, eat what they eat, and sleep where they sleep." The Zapatista movement officially began on January 1, 1994, when the Zapatista National Liberation Army took over five cities in Chiapas and more than 500 farms in Mexico. The Zapatistas have many grievances with the Mexican government. According to the Schools for Chiapas Web site, the Zapatistas want to be Mexican citizens, but they want freedom to govern themselves. They also want better health care, education and protection of their culture. French plans on getting together a fund-raiser to help the people of Chiapas. "I want to gather together supplies like clothing and drive them down to Chiapas," he said. If you are interested in helping French with his fund-raiser, you can contact him at Ty2po33@yahoo.com. Committee formed to discuss tuition Contact Gilligan at mgilligan @kansan.com. This story was edited by Jeremy Clarkson. By Sarah Hill Kansan staff writer Justin Mills, student body president, told the Board of Regents last week that KU students are uninformed on the current debate over increased tuitions. Mills asked the Regents for a chance to come back in February to update them after Student Senate could work with the students. The Regents declined, but offered Mills words of encouragement. Mills called the session in order to form a committee comprised of student senators, faculty, staff and administration to better inform the campus about proposed tuition increases. "They said they were looking forward to more dialogue coming from KU," he said last night at a special session of Student Senate. Anna Gregory, senate communications director, said that the committee was necessary so that each group involved had an equal say in the debates. She said the goals of the committee were to come up with a vision the four groups involved can adopt, then look at the specific details of the proposed increases. Senators raised concerns about the effectiveness of getting students involved even after the committee was in place, but agreed that an effort was necessary. "Until students see the grand scheme of things, they won't be interested," said Tony Treu, architecture senator. Mills said he wanted to make sure the University focused on the quality of education, not the quantity of everything the administration could purchase with the extra money.

MATT GERTKEN/KANSAN EDITORIAL Students need library, even on MLK Dav Inaccessible facilities contradict holiday's stress on education After only a few days of school, students are already beginning to feel the weight of homework piling up for the coming weeks. However, students who were going to take advantage of the library on Monday to tackle those early assignments arrived at Watson and Anschutz libraries only to find they were closed for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Next year, University libraries should remain open with shortened hours during the holiday. This would give staff and students an opportunity to attend events like the one held early in the afternoon at the Lied Center this year. This plan would still allow time for study and research at the library later in the evening. As long as teachers choose to give homework for the holiday weekend, students should still have resources like the library open so they can complete their assignments. Sarah Couch, head of the Watson Library Access Services, said the libraries were closed with the idea that people would have time to take part in the celebrations honoring King. The library should also be open for students and the public looking to read books and other items of information about King. Students should have the opportunity to learn more about the man honored with a federal holiday. This particular day has been considered an academic holiday at the University of Kansas since January 1988. city of Kansas since January Bill Myers, external relations officer, said campus libraries had closed in accordance with the school since 1997 or possibly even earlier. Watson library was open Sunday until midnight and reopened Tuesday morning at 8 a.m. Couch said library hours and holidays were posted on the front door of Watson Library. The Web site and the library handout also included this information. But library officials should have gone a step further. Signs should have been posted around campus at locations where more students would likely see them. They should have been posted in the Kansas Union Bookstore, where students were purchasing books. Despite the postings, some students were still surprised Monday when they found the libraries were closed. This left many frustrated and with few options when trying to finish homework. Other holidays the campus libraries are closed include Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving and Christmas. More students would assume libraries would be closed on these days rather than MLK Day, and that's precisely why the closings should have been better publicized. This would have given students ample notice and time to make other arrangements when it came to completing their weekend assignments. Amy Potter for the editorial board.

But we're not as dumb as we look, and teachers don't have to read the whole thing out loud. PERSPECTIVE All but 30 KU students. People are complaining like crazy about tuition increases, but only about 30 students showed up to talk to Provost David Shulenburger. If you don't show up, you can take your complaints all the way to KU's bank. University asks for feedback but does little to fix parking For their safety, residents at Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall can't let male guests enter their building during certain hours. Yet on any night, a lone female resident can be found parking her car several blocks away and walking alone back to the hall because of a lack of sufficient parking at the only all-female resident halls on campus. At GSP-Corbin permits are oversold by 64 percent — and that doesn't include residents who don't even bother to buy a permit and instead find a side-street where they can park. As a former live-in staff member and now resident of GSP-Corbin, I understand the problems and concerns of the hall's parking situation. Sure, residents can do little things. They're instructed to walk in groups from their parked cars on dark, isolated streets or to ask the security monitor to walk with them Every year, the department sells more passes than there are spaces available. Besides being annoyed at circling the parking lots of GSP-Corbin, most residents and their parents are concerned about safety. So hope about the improvement of parking conditions on campus soared with last semester's open parking forum to hear student concerns. Those hopes were shot down with the blunt statement from Don Kearns, director of parking services, that adding parking spaces to GSP-Corbin was impossible. COMMENTARY Tabatha Beerbower opinion@kansan.com between 11 p.m. and 7 am Lot 94 of Memorial stadium is GSP-Corbin's overflow lot. After parking there, residents then walk up a steep hill on a poorly lit street, taking at least 15 minutes to get home. Even if you got home at a decent time every night, someone would still be at a disadvantage for a parking space. KU publicizes itself as a safe campus, as a University that is there for the students. So why do most residents at GSP-Corbin feel they are facing the parking problem alone? Not only did Kearns say improving conditions around the building would be impossible, he also said the present parking conditions were fair at best. Kearns admitted there were a lot of maintenance problems at the parking garage located west of GSP-Corbin. Why has that little tidbit of information not been placed in new student orientation pamphlets? I'm sure parents who bring their daughters for a tour of GSP-Corbin would like to know there aren't enough safe parking spaces to go around. They'd probably like to know how many cars are damaged because of insufficient space and maintenance, and that the director of parking services fears one of the building's parking garages might slide down the hill. Kearns said the open forum was a step in the right direction, and I agree. But Kearns also said that every year GSP-Corbin residents have faced this problem. How many more years will it take before something is done about it? Will something drastic have to happen to a resident before attention is paid to the safety of students at GSP-Corbin? It's good that an open forum was initiated to hear students' concerns. But what's the point of bringing issues to light if the administration has the attitude that improving conditions of any kind for the students — who pay a significant amount of money to attend the University — is impossible? KU has shown it has a caring side by listening to students. Now it's time to follow through. It's time for the administration to make KU what it claims it to be—a safe and nurturing environment for students of all backgrounds. I believe the University is here for the students. The University should show the student body it believes this, too.

I think it's ironic that even though the KU football team is not outstanding, students still stand up in support of their team, but when the entire football team and the recruits come to support the basketball team, they sit on their butts in the best seats in the house.

PERSPECTIVE Cherish every poster sale as if it were the last In today's hustle-bustle, high-tech, leave-them-wanting-more society, everyone needs a little inspiration to get through the day. For many college students, inspiration comes from a poster on the bedroom wall. When it comes to motivation, a picture of a celebrity hanging on your wall often does the trick. John Lennon might inspire you to write a song and John Belushi might inspire you to have another drink. Sports figures, musicians or luscious photography with a At the start of each semester, Student Union Activities sponsors a poster sale on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union. You can find almost any kind of poster that you could possibly want there - movies, musicians, artwork, photography, sports figures, sex symbols and political figures. They even sell movie stills that don't have any writing on them, so you can put up the still right next to pictures of all your friends and tell your roommate you're friends with Chuck Norris. The sale is a great place to find posters of your idols. If you can't find the one you're looking for there, you most likely aren't going to find it anywhere. Even if your walls are already full, the poster sale is a great way to waste time between classes. It's always amusing to see how many different shots of Dave Matthews or Al Pacino from Scarface there are. It's as if someone took the same picture from 48 different angles and decided it would be a good idea Marc Ingber opinion@kansan.com to make each one into a poster. The one downside to the poster sale is it only runs for two weeks. It's a sad day when it gets taken down. I must admit I get a little misty-eyed when I venture into the Union mid- semester and see a vacant room where the great poster sale once stood, much like someone discovering the playground of his or her youth is now a giant parking lot. So I have some words of advice to all the students —live each poster sale to the fullest, as if it's going to be your last. Time may separate you from great posters, but the memories will be there forever.

After spending her first three seasons as a reserve, the senior guard cracked the starting lineup, providing a little scoring punch to a team desperately needing it. Hannon scored a career-high eight points in the Jayhawk's 72-59 loss to Kansas State last night. She made her first career start last Saturday at Nebraska, finishing with six points on 2-of-3 shooting from three-point range. She sunk four three-pointers in her last two games. "I think my strong suit is the three-point shot," Hannon said. "Being 6-2, people don't really expect that out of me, and at the beginning, they tend to give it up to me." With freshman guard Blair Waltz sidelined with a stress fracture in her right foot, Hannon has assumed the duties as one of the Jayhawks' key outside threats. Kansas (5-15 overall, 0-7 in Big 12 Conference play) has been plagued by shooting trouble all season long, making Hannon's role even more important. "I feel more part of the team," Hannon said. "I've been more of a support role before Blair got hurt. While she's trying to heal her foot, I'm getting more significant playing time." Hannon, a Rochester, N. Y. native, saw action in 13 contests, and averages 2.7 points and 1.6 rebound Katie Hannon Coach Marian Washington said that Hannon's outside presence was crucial in the Jayhawks' strong performance at K-State. pergame. "We don't have Blair with us," Washington said, "and Katie has stepped up and really played well for us on the offensive end." Contact Wood at rwood@kansan.com. This story was edited by Brooke Hesler. The latter part of Iowa State's run came with Gooden on the bench for lagging on defense after he missed a three-pointer, Williams said. CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6A MEN "I knew I messed up and had to take a time-out to think about what I did." Gooden said. When he returned to the court, Gooden made two baskets in less than 30 seconds, giving Kansas a 75-74 lead. Earlier in the second half Gooden made a steal and raced down the right sideline, swooping in from the baseline and finishing with a jaw-dropping dunk, which the Richmond, Calif., native dubbed "the Rich-town Funk Dunk." It put the Jayhawks on top 56-47. After the game, a relieved Williams said he was happy for the win, but that it was just one game in a long conference season. "This is the fifth game of a 16-game schedule," he said. "I want the kids to feel good because it was today's game but I'm not going to put anymore significance than that."

SULLIVAN CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6A Sullivan said he found it easier to play with a lot of intensity, and he was not intimidated when facing the Jayhawks, especially when Kansas guard Kirk Hinrich defended him. "I don't get nervous against them," Sullivan said. "I love to play big time games, and Kansas is a big time team. I think is Hirnrich is the best point guard in the Big 12, which makes it fun to play against him. I got up a little more for this game." Sullivan almost gave Iowa State the boost they needed to pull ahead of Kansas for good. With 2:20 remaining, he drilled a long three-pointer, putting the Cyclones up 81-79 and igniting the crowd.

SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WWW.KANSAN.COM/SPORTS 6A THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 2002 COMMENTARY Andy Davies adavies@kansan.com Kansas fans have reasons to dream of wins, titles By Andy Davies Kansan columnist Kansas has one of the country's top men's basketball teams. I know, I know. This is not exactly a brilliant observation, but it's worth pointing out because this season is the first time KU fans can say that since Paul Pierce and Raef LaFrentz carried the 1997-98 squad to a 35-4 record, a Big 12 regular season and tournament titles, and to the No.2 ranking in the final regular season poll. That year ended a spectacular fouryear run that saw the 'Hawks go 123-17 overall. It was an awesome time in the Roy Williams era, producing four All American picks, six all-conference selections and four straight topfive finishes in the final AP polls. That four-year run created high expectations that the following years weren't able to fulfill, making the 20 win-seasons and three NCAA tournament appearances that came after them seem ordinary. Still, those seasons were marred by puzzling losses to Kentucky, Saint Louis, Nebraska, Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma State, Texas and Wake Forest. Throw in five consecutive losses to Iowa State and Jayhawk basketball seemed to be in a slump. But this year Kansas appears to have righted itself. The 'Hawks are No. 2 in the country and have put together a 13-game winning streak early in the season, even though KU has the toughest scheduled in the nation based on the RPI rankings. Last night the team ended its losing streak against Iowa State. Kansas' talent is certainly one reason for its success. Forwards Drew Gooden and Nick Collison are the best interior players to suit up for Williams since LaFrentz patrolled the paint at Allen Fieldhouse. Kirk Hinrich and Jeff Boschee give the Hawks an outside presence. Add four talented freshmen and veteran post player Jeff Carey and it's easy to see why Williams' squad has played so well. But talent isn't the only thing driving the 'Hawks to victory. Led by Hinrch, Gooden, Collison and Boschee, the 2002 Jayhawks possess more mental toughness and greater hunger for victory. Recently, Kansas used to struggle in big, pressure-filled games. But this squad seems to relish the big games. Kansas jumped on Arizona early, stunned a frenzied OSU crowd in Stillwater and rallied to win at Iowa State in the final three minutes. A defeat at UCLA — a game that Kansas looked flat in — is the only loss that stains this season. But all is not perfect in Lawrence. The 'Hawks have a few things to work on, mainly inconsistent free throw shooting. Still, it's not hard to see why this team is the Big 12 favorite and why fans expect it to make a run in the NCAA Tournament that exceeds last year's visit to the Sweet 16. But that's down the road. The Jayhawks now must concentrate on winning games against its much-improved Big 12 opponents. A top-five team is back to Lawrence, and the Jayhawks could be on the verge of back-to-back seasons like 1996-97 and 1997-98 . Life is good again for Kansas basketball fans. Contact Davies at sports@kansan.com. Hawks win big in Ames By Doug Pacey Kansan sportswriter AMES, Iowa — Drew Gooden doesn't know if it happened at Allen Fieldhouse or at Hilton Coliseum. He can't even remember if it occurred during his freshman or sophomore season. Gooden said he thinks former Cyclone All-Americans Marcus Fizer and Jamaal Tinsley are to blame, but he's not really sure. Details, details, details. The only thing the Big 12 Conference's leading scorer knows — or cares about — is that after an Iowa State game in the last two seasons, one of the Cyclones slammed the ball down at mid-court after the final whistle. This time.it was Gooden's turn. KANSAS 0 WASHINGTON 1 "I thought it was just payback, revenge," Gooden, who finished with 23 points and 11 rebounds, said after the game. "I felt like I wanted to slam the ball on their court and it felt good. Just let all the frustration out of losing (to Iowa State) all the time." The No. 2 Jayhawks (16-2 overall, 5-0 Big 12) stopped a five-game losing streak to the Cyclones (9-11, 1-5) with a down-to-the-wire 88-81 win Wednesday night at Hilton Coliseum. Jeff Bosche, who scored 14 points and made 4-of-4 three-pointers, hit a three with 36 seconds left that gave Kansas an 84-81 lead. Moments earlier, Cyclone forward Tyray Pearson missed two free throws after being fouled by Kansas junior forward Nick Collison. "The score was tied we were very fortunate they missed two free throws and we come down and get a huge three by Jeff Boschee," coach Roy Williams said. The Jayhawks had jumped out to a 62-50 advantage, the biggest lead for either team, six minutes into the second half. The edge was short-lived as Kansas, which was plagued by foul trouble the entire game, relaxed into a zone defense and Iowa State made the Jayhawks pay with a 20-4 run over the next seven minutes. "We had a good start at the beginning of the second half but then it seemed like we couldn't buy a basket for about six or seven minutes," Collison, who finished with 16 points and 10 rebounds, said.

CHRISTINA NEFF/KANSAN Iowa State guard stands out despite loss By Brent Wasko Kansan sportswriter AMES, Iowa — Iowa State guard Jake Sullivan seemingly couldn't miss shots from behind the three-point line last night against Kansas, scoring a season-high 27 points. But the point total was little consolation for the sophomore, whose team failed to pull out a victory in an 88-81 loss against the Jayhawks at Hilton Coliseum. "I feel as low as I've felt all year," said Sullivan, who also committed nine turnovers against Kansas. "This game could have been a huge building block for us. I left it all on the floor tonight, but my turnovers were disappointing." Sullivan's 27 points tied for the second most by an individual against the Jayhawks this year. kansas had no answer for Sullivan's offensive explosion. He swished five of his seven shots from behind the arch. He was 8-for-12 inside the three-point line and 6-for-6 from the free-throw line. He also tallied a career-high six assists. Kansas coach Roy Williams said Sullivan, who is averaging 16.2 points per game this season, was tough to contain. "Jake Sullivan was unbelievable." Williams said. "The focus of a whole practice was getting a hand in Jake's face, and we didn't do a very good job of shutting him down tonight. We tried putting different people on him, but he just kept making shots." Last night was not the first time the Jayhawks struggled to guard Sullivan. In Ames, Iowa, last year, he racked up 22 points against Kansas. SEE SULLIVAN ON PAGE 5A Kansas women can't catch K-State VEEKER 57 By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter MANHATTAN—On paper, last night's game at No.11 Kansas State was one of the Jayhawks' best games of the season. Senior guard K.C. Hilgenkamp attempts to drive around Kansas State's Kendra Wecker. Hilgenkamp scored 18 points in the Jayhawks' 72-59 loss to the Wildcats on Wednesday at Bramlage Coliseum. Unfortunately for the Jayhawks, Goliath proved to be too much for them to knock out as Kansas remained winless in the Big 12 Conference, losing 72-59. AARON SHOWALTER/KANSAN Kansas (5-15, 0-7 Big 12) out-rebounded K-State (18-2, 6-1) and dished out more assists but was outscored 20-6 at the free throw line by the Wildcats. "Overall, when I look at the field goals and the three point shots that were made, this difference in this game was at the free throw line," head coach Marian Washington said. Kansas looked like a different team in the first half. Trailing by 11, Jayhawk seniors took over with sharp shooting and tough defense. A basket by senior guard KC Hilgenkamp started the run, and two consecutive baskets by Selena Scott, also a senior guard, cut the lead to six. Senior center Kristin Geoffroy sandwiched a bucket between two Hilgenkamp threes to end the half with Kansas down 33-30. "Coach gives me the green light and she always expects me to shoot," said Hilgenkamp, who ended with a team-high 18 points and five assists. "I guess today was one of those days where your shot feels really good." Although the 8,000-plus fans at the game were shocked by Kansas' play in the first half, Washington said she had expected it. "I thought that we executed pretty well in the first half. I'm sure we surprised a lot of people." Washington said. A dry spell on the offensive end struck Kansas after the break as the jayhawks failed to score for nearly six minutes. During this span, Kansas State freshman forward Kendra Wecker was unstoppable, hitting four straight baskets to extend the Wildcats' lead to 18. "Wecker probably surprised me more than any of them," Washington said. "She's just a phenomenal athlete and is extremely strong. I'm amazed at what she's doing for them." In a rare incident, Washington was charged with a technical foul with 4:32 remaining in the game. "I've never used foul language, a foul word," she said. "So I get technicals I guess because of my intensity. I simply asked 'Was the particular player on our back?' It happens — you can't worry about it." Kansas will face Oklahoma State at 2:05 p.m. on Saturday in Lawrence.

Never fear — cover bands are playing their shows verbatim. SEE PAGE 4B CAMPING FOR SPORT Jayplay writer Beckv McClelland gets the chance to chill with diehard Kansas campers KIMBERLY THOMPSON/KANSAN Bryson Dewitty, St. Louis freshman, of the "Fieldhouse Friends" campout group, plays SSXTricky on a Playstation 2 while a member of "Hawk at Heart" sleeps nearby. Campers have been in the Fieldhouse since 8 a.m. Sunday waiting for the KU versus MU basketball game. By Becky McClelland Jayplay writer Teamwork, determination, long hours, fierce competition — forget the men's basketball team members, this is about the fans. The fans who arrive at Allen Fieldhouse at 6 a.m., bearing names such as "G's Up, Ho'S Down," "Dirty Birds" or "Gooden's Goonies." They sleep on the concrete floor or do homework in the dim light while leaning against an abandoned concession stand. They do all of this for a chance at first-row seats at men's basketball home games. I joined their proud ranks Sunday. I went into the Fieldhouse to have a look around, and came out a member of the "Jeff BoShit he's good" camping group. Brett Logan, Olathe graduate student, welcomed me into the group's ranks and shared a little about the history of my new crew, which was sixth on the seating list. Logan and his group started with the name four years ago — when Boschee was a freshman — and they plan to keep the name, even after Boschee graduates in May. "One time when we were camping our first year, Jeff was walking by for practice and said he liked our name," Logan said. "He totally approves." I eagerly agreed to sit my shift and read the rules carefully. 'Thou shalt have a group member present from 6 a.m. until 10 p.m. every weekday; 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekends. Should role be called and thou are absent, thou shalt lose thy spot. Thou shalt call role at any time thou chooseth, but thou must wake up sleeping campers and check bathrooms first." The rules are all formed and agreed to by the campers themselves, with the exception of occasional modifications by the Athletics Department. Meanwhile, most campers slept. Some read everything from Cosmo to Organic Chemistry. A few had laptops. The "Hawks at Heart" had the sweetest set up, which included air mattresses and a TV. The excitement of camping, I discovered, was not in the camping itself. The waiting was simply a demonstration of the passion that lies in the hearts of many folk who breathe KU basketball. The "Muck Fizzou" squad — just occasional campers — was camping for the first time this season. The members had shown up at noon with about 10 people. Most of the other groups took things a little more seriously and showed up for the 8 a.m. lottery. Sophomores Tiffany Horsefield from Cuba, Mo., and Daina Jablonski from Overland Park, are diehards. They fine-tuned their camping skills last year while camping with "Corky's Cuties." They camp every game and plan to continue until graduation. "We've told everybody in our group to call roll every shift, especially during classes,"Jablonski said. Others have raised camping to an art form. The Phog Phanatics are famous even outside of the camping world for being intense fans. Jana Butcher, Chanute senior organized the group her freshmen year. The Phog Phanatics operate at the maximum capacity of 30. "People beg me to be in the Phog Phanatics," Butcher said. "Most of our members used to be leaders of one of the six to eight other big groups." Dedication earned Brande Aleman, Kansas City, Mo., junior, a spot in the Phanatics after she sat a seven-hour shift for another group. The Phanatics have even inspired a spinoff group, but Aleman maintains that it's a friendly rivalry. It was quiet as I left the Fieldhouse. My shift was done. More groups had added themselves to the lists, and Butcher predicted there would be more than 100 camping groups before tip off. And by Monday night, these catatonic campers will be transformed into some of the loudest fans in the stands. Contact McCiel- land at 864-4810. This story was edited by Kyle Ramsey. KU student makes money off of bitter school rivalry By Erin Ohm Jayplay writer Rivals Kansas and Missouri will face each other on the court Monday, but the competition won't be just between the athletes. The same competitive spirit is spilling over to the fans. The schools' long-standing rivalry gave Jonathan Gordon an idea of how to express Jayhawk pride. He began selling blue shirts with the slogan "Muck Fizzou" printed across the chest. A native of Munster, Ind., Gordon was unfamiliar with the great matches of the Big Twelve Conference. He first experienced Missouri's loathing for Kansas when he went to a basketball game at Mizzou two years ago. "When we first drove onto campus they had in the windows, 'Beat KU.' And I was like, 'What!?'"" Gordon said. "They hated us way more than we hated them." Gordon handles all the ordering and bookkeeping, and friends stop by to help sell the shirts. Tradition and rivalry are the reasons Gordon decided to market his idea. "I wanted to help it grow for the next generation of people who go here," Gordon said. "I love sports and I love to see everyone get excited." The biggest challenge was finding a place to sell the shirts. Because Gordon is not in a fraternity or any other campus organization, he said he found it harder to market the shirts. Gordon has been selling the shirts out of the Crossing, 618 W. 12 St. located north of the campus. MUCK FIZZOU "By going to the Crossing I get to support KU, because to me, the Crossing is a part of Crossing is a part of KU." Gordon said. Most of Gor d on ' s advertising is done by word-of mouth. Once out, Gordon found that people were very interested in buying the shirts. He has sold about 700 this year. Dirt cheap miracles happen in the used bin ROCK SNOB By Andy Gassaway Rock snob Sadly, few people can afford the record collection they wish they had. Sure, you could pick up every interesting album you encounter if you quit buying groceries, but unfortunately biological needs tend to outweigh musical appetites. Used bins tend to look bleak, boasting inexhaustible supplies of rejected Chumbawumba albums and She's All That soundtracks, but with patience and a strategy, this parched wasteland can yield cheap worthwhile finds. Thankfully, there is a bastion of afford- able music dumped in the used bin. Digging into the pop compost that is the used bin, one can expect to find unfamiliar names and record labels. These albums are your bread and butter and must be approached with a discriminating taste, as most of these oddball discs with unknown songs will have to be judged on aesthetics alone. In doing so, three major characteristics of each album must be analyzed: Cover art and packaging, external information and the cover's veneer. However, when it comes to a cardboard package with nothing but a blurry photo of a tricycle, it's time to pay attention. The music might not be historic, but at least you'll go home owning an album by a band with the fortitude to put out an entertainingly packaged disc that probably sent its label to the poorhouse. And what's cooler than owning an album distributed by a defunct label? Nothing. First, let's discuss the packaging. A plain jewel case with a photo of four pouting, tattooed rock gods, for example, is not worth anyone's time or money. Sure, it could very possibly contain one or two mediocre rock tunes, but it's also a dull, safe buy. --- COMMENTARY Andy Gassaway aeassaway@kansan.com Purveying the information printed on the outside of the album is one of the quickest indicators of the quality of a used bin nugget. Is the label familiar? If you happen to own albums by other artists on the same label, especially if it's a small label, you can arguably justify a purchase. But let us turn to more important matters, such as the album title and the name of the band. If you plan to drop four bucks on a strange CD, make sure it's one by an artist with a little imagination. If it happens to come down between Echoes of Bemusement by the Undeniable Figs or the self-titled release from the Biff Swanson Blues Band — well, you make the call. Finally, take a gander at the condition of the packaging. Does it still have the filing sticker attached to the top and a shiny, blemish-free cover? If so, keep going because someone (luckily not you) paid full price for this album only to discover that it was complete plankton fodder and returned it the very same day. But, if the CD in question is scratched up with a worn-out booklet, exchange your American currency for it as soon as possible. Some mutant out there obviously loved the album enough to keep it around for eons, and probably only parted with it because of a cash emergency. It's a jewel especially if the album is the only one of its kind in the used bin. Ultimately any trip to the used bin is a gamble. Miracles can happen when you're willing to take a risk in the used bin, and besides, how else are you supposed to know if that Apes of God album could have changed your life?

P LION B LA JUDICIA scorpion A Ignore insecurity to realize your inner sexiness By James Manning Sex columnist All, celebrity Only a few short hours after my first sex column was published and distributed, I heard some complaining. S Ah, celebrity. "Oh, this is the stupidest," said a reader sitting in Fraser Hall. "At the end he talks about hit on at the bar. Get real. This fat dork could never get laid." Ouch. "Actually, I don't really think I'm all that fat – just dorky," I told her. And I smiled. She looked at me, smiled back as if I were joking and looked at the picture in the column again. Then came recognition. "Oh my God! That really is you! I am so sorry," she said. "You look so much better than your picture! It doesn't even look like you!" Immediately after leaving, I examined my own copy of the paper and checked the picture for myself. After all, I didn't want people to think I was fat. I looked at the picture bewildered. While I admit the picture is not exactly flattering, I didn't think I looked fat. I couldn't hold back. I was hurt and somewhat angry. I had to respond. (AP) A man was fatally shot by a police officer in South Carolina. I just walked off. How do you reply to something like that? James Manning jmanning@kansan.com Even so, irrationality set in, and I began to mope. I was still hurt. Even worse, I felt ugly. The more I thought about the situation, the more I realized how stupid it was for me to be mad at the woman in the hall. She said nothing about me that I had not said to myself at one point or another. I have thought of myself as fat, and a lot of other negative things, too. I have looked in the mirror so many times and thought, "What if?" What if I could just get rid of my love handles? What if my hair were just a different color? What if I just had a darker tan? What if I could just have a few more muscles? I am insecure about my body and my looks, and I am not alone. I am part of a nation of insecure people. We all want to feel sexy. And most of us are. We just don't know it. It's this fear of not being sexy that makes us insecure. We see images in the media of what the perfect body is supposed to look like, and we forget the people in those ads, television programs and movies are not real. We easily forget about the airbrushing and digital editing used to make the "perfect" person. This prohibits many of us from fully enjoying our bodies. Without enjoying our own bodies, we cannot enjoy a full sex life or even the little things life has to offer. Think of how much better swimming parties, trying on clothes or eating dessert would be if we were more comfortable with our bodies. Even better, think of how great it would feel to be naked with someone we loved if we liked seeing ourselves naked, too. Unfortunately, it is tough to escape the idea that we do not look good. Start by taking a dry-erase marker and writing something at the top of your mirror that makes you feel good. It could be, "You're beautiful," "Hey sexy" or the one I have written above mine: "What a stud." Every time you look in the mirror and see the message, find something about your looks you really do like. Say it out loud. If these suggestions seem too touchy-feely for your taste, then go to a good friend and ask what he or she thinks is sexy about you. You will be surprised at the answers. Getting naked in front of someone is intimidating for just about anyone. We all have our insecurities. Trust me, if you're taking your clothes off with someone, he or she probably already made up his or her mind about whether they wanted to see what's underneath. So the next time you hear a snide comment about your looks, don't let it bother you at all. Know that you're a total hottie, and that the other person is probably just as insecure as you once were. ■ Contact Manning at jmning@kansan.com. This story was edited by Molly Gise. Aspiring R&B artist shares his music, technique By Louise Stauffer Jayplay writer The walls of his room may be plain, his style of dress isn't flashy, but as soon as he begins to speak about his music, Mylin Brimm transforms into a star. Brimm, East St. Louis, Ill., junior, has just released his third CD, Cherish Life. He said the lyrics in Cherish Life are R&B style, mainly love ballads. "There are also a couple of songs talking about life and everyday experiences, just how I feel," he said. "I try not to make music like everyone else does." Mylin Brimm E. St. Louis junior Brimm's music has gained popularity largely due to his efforts to advertise. His pockets always contain demo tapes or CDs, which he gives to people who are interested or to DJs at clubs. He always brings a tape with him when he goes clubbing. F. B. HARRISON Mrs. E's Express, the to-go cafeteria in the basement of Hashinger Hall, also plays a part in helping Brimm expose his music. Brimm has been employed at Mrs. E's Express since 1999. He has his CDs on display and often plays his music while he works. The Hawk, 1340 Ohio St., one of Brimm's favorite hangouts, was the first place that played one of his CDs. "Some people might think it's selfish to ask a DJ to play your stuff, but no one's ever going to play it unless you ask," he said. "It's an opportunity to advertise," he said. "When people see my CD and ask who it is, I tell them that it's me." He enjoys the criticism that Mrs. E's Express-goers give, and he said students' reactions were usually positive. "Criticism is good. I always like to hear people's new ideas," he said. KIMBERLY THOMPSON/KANSAN He has loved music since he was a baby and began singing in the church choir as a child. His parents have been very supportive of his efforts in continuing music but were glad he had chosen to stay in school as well. "My parents are really proud, and my mom hopes I make it," he said. "I'm majoring in sports science because I want something to fall back on in case I don't make it." Brimm said often the temptation to drop out of University of Kansas and work on his music full time was appealing. "It's difficult to put all of your effort into school and music," he said. "You have to learn how to balance your time." Mylin Brimm, East St. Louis, Il., junior, works and sells his CDs at Mrs. E's Express in the basement of Hashinger Hall. He has produced three CDs; one on his own and two with the help of friends. Acknowledging the chance of having a successful music career is slim. Brimm admits that the competition for musicians is huge. "I try not to make music like everyone else does," he said. "I really don't do it to make it big. I do it more for myself, to have people feel what I'm feeling." Tommy Mathew, Olathe senior said he had high hopes for Brimm. "It's inspiring to know that he pursues his dreams," Mathew said "People on the dance floor like it and because it's local, they appreciate it." Brimm's friends say they're inspired by his ambition. Before Mylin began workin solo, he was a member of the group Tri-State-Clice, with whom he released two CDs, Passionate Rage and Dead-End Blue. Surprisingly, Brimm confesses he doesn't have much technique a reading music. "I wish I could know techniqiu along with my natural gift," he said. "I tend to play by ear, catch the tim by feeling it — it comes from th heart," he said. Brimm took—and quit—drum lessons twice and decided readin music wasn't for him. "I'm not saying that being able to read music i bad. I just don't do it that way." Brimm's way is best described by the method in which he writes his songs: "I try to match what I'm feeling with the mood of the music." Brimm's music and CDs are available online a www.mp3.com/mylinbrimm, a Hastings, 1900 W. 23rd Street, o from Brimm himself. Contact Stauffer at Istauffer@kansan.com.

After the captain dies, Dantes, who later assumes the title of the Count of Monte Cristo, gets his Though the movie trailers hint at yet another knock-off Zorro flick, The Count of Monte Cristo is anything but. The main character's escape from prison is the only Zorro-esque scene throughout the PG-13-rated flick. The movie begins with two boats rowing to a shore. A kind-hearted Edmund Dantes (Jim Caviezel) disobeys his first mate's orders and is bringing his dying captain ashore to seek medical attention. COMMENTARY SPRING BREAK IS NEAR...

Fortunately Napoleon Bonaparte comes to his aid. The simple-minded Dantes accepts the task of secretly delivering a personal letter for the French enemy in return for the use of Napoleon's physician and his help. Accepting this task essentially ruins Dantes' life when he is accused of treason and sent to the prison Chateau D'If. The plot quickens and displays twists and turns that are not expected. The reappearance of a chess piece was perhaps the only predictable part of the film. Action proves to be sufficient with three sword fights in the first 25 minutes. Though the sword fighting slows down a bit nearing the middle of the movie, the plot is enough to keep an audience on edge. Revenge is an obvious theme throughout the movie as Dantes' drunkenard of a friend basically robs him of his life. Characters are for the most part well developed with the exception of the character Mondego, played by Guy Pearce. Pierce's interpretation of Mondego could have been more convincing. His bad-guy characteristics could have been emphasized without taking attention away from the movie. Alexandre Dumas' plot is effective, enticing and well displayed on the big screen.

Amanda Meglemre Overland Parksophomore Count on this 'Monte Cristo' Amanda O'Toole Movie reviewer PRIYANTH KANDKARANI Do not let the generic advertise ment, "Prepare for adventure, count on revenge," sway your movie-making decisions at the theaters this weekend. The Count of Monte Cristo (in theaters tomorrow) is definitely worth seeing. The movie is based on the novel written by Alexandre Dumas in 1844. He also wrote The Three Musketeers and The Man in the Iron Mask. Melissa Hartnett Manhattan sophomore After the captain dies, Dantes, who later assumes the title of the Count of Monte Cristo, gets his Though the movie trailers hint at yet another knock-off Zorro flick, The Count of Monte Cristo is anything but. The main character's escape from prison is the only Zorro-esque scene throughout the PG-13-rated flick. COMMENTARY The movie begins with two boats rowing to a shore. A kind-hearted Edmund Dantes (Jim Caviezel) disobeys his first mate's orders and is bringing his dying captain ashore to seek medical attention. Amanda O'toole aotole@kansan.com friend Fernand Mondego (Guy Pearce) and himself into trouble with passing British soldiers. Fortunately Napoleon Bonaparte comes to his aid. The simple-minded Dantes accepts the task of secretly delivering a personal letter for the French enemy in return for the use of Napoleon's physician and his help. Accepting this task essentially ruins Dantes' life when he is accused of treason and sent to the prison Chateau D'If. The plot quickens and displays twists and turns that are not expected. The reappearance of a chess piece was perhaps the only predictable part of the film. SPRING BREAK IS NEAR... Let Curves. help you look your best!! Our Exclusive Quickfit Circuit...

Revenge is an obvious theme throughout the movie as Dantes' drunkard of a friend basically robs him of his life. Though the sword fighting slows down a bit nearing the middle of the movie, the plot is enough to keep an audience on edge. Characters are for the most part well developed with the exception of the character Mondego, played by Guy Pearce. Pierce's interpretation of Mondego could have been more convincing. His bad-guy characteristics could have been emphasized without taking attention away from the movie. Alexandre Dumas' plot is effective, enticing and well displayed on the big screen. The Count of Monte Cristo is a well-rounded movie offering action, drama, comedy, a bit of romance and even pirates; there is something for everyone in this adventure. --- Contact aotoole@kansan.com.

DIFFERENT. 4/24 RegieR Band impersonates the Dead By Brad Weiner Jayplay Writer More than six years have passed since Jerry Garcia went to the great gig in the sky, and the Grateful Dead disbanded into its members' own musical factions. Fortunately for the legions of Deadheads who miss taking part in the long, strange trip, there are Dead cover bands such as the the Dark Star Orchestra. These bands play Grateful Dead tunes to Dead veterans and Dead virgins alike. The Dark Star Orchestra packed the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., with Dead lovers last Thursday night. DSO has earned a reputation as the most accurate Dead cover band because it has the same number of band members as the original. Also, each DSO performance mimics a concert from the Dead's "They're not just a Dead cover band, they're impersonators." Ben Ross Overland Park senior 30-year historv. According to Scott Larned, the band's keyboardist, the DSO knows "between 200 and 300 tunes," and at the end of each performance, it announces to the audience which show was performed. The Granada performance was a recreation of a Jan. 30, 1978 show, which took place in Chicago. Chicago is also the hometown of DSO and the city that played host to the last Grateful Dead show on July 9, 1995. with the quality of Dark Star's representation. One fan said he was impressed "They're not just a Dead cover band. They're impersonators," said Ben Ross, Overland Park senior and Dead aficionado. Dark Star Orchestra is not the only band playing music from the Grateful Dead collection. Other cover bands include Shakedown Street, Lazy Lightning, The Cosmic Charlies and The Schwag, who play tomorrow night at Abe and Jake's. In this way, the Dead's music has never stopped. And as long as the music of the Grateful Dead plays in the ears of Dead fans, Jerry Garcia will get his wish to walk alone by the black, muddy river, listening to a song of his own.

Static is currently skyrocketing in sales and is showing no signs of letting up. "Some people can't tell the difference between the styles of static," Marion said. "There is really psychedelic static that comes from something like a walkie talkie. Then there's the composed static of an improperly tuned radio." Marion described jazz static, blues static and electronic static, which is the most popular as it can be created by placing any metal product into a standard kitchen microwave." Music industry experts have said static will reign the airwaves in another year. "Static is the hot thing right now," said Andrea Crembroulet, Best Buy music clerk. "The market is really taking off, especially with the bands from Bangladesh." Some critics aren't so sure. Rolling Stone criticized the music, calling it "talentless drivel." Other critics have been reluctant to call it music at all. "Music is composed of rhythm, harmony and melody," said Marky Mark in an MTV interview. "Call me a traditionalist, but this noise "Static is the hot thing right now. The market is really taking off, especially with the bands from Bangladesh." Andrea Crembroulet Best Buy music clerk has none of those elements." has none of those elements. Frank Zappa couldn't be reached for comment because he died in 1993.

INSIDETODAY - Greek restaurants try new post-9-11 ads: 'Did you ever know that you're my gyros?' page 14R - Dead things found at museum, page 1Metro - Wescoe 'still ugly,' page 3C 'Oread' sex column fails to excite faculty, staff By Adrian Zink Kansan satire writer Provost David Shulenburger's attempt at a sex column has failed after a two-week stint in the University of Kansas faculty paper, Oread. It appears the success of Meghan Bainum's sex columns in The University Daily Kansan eclipsed the excitement found in Oread. Shulenburger's columns included "The joy of holding hands and taking a walk" and "Snuggling for dummies." "I was just trying to get the teachers' minds off the raunchiness of the student sex column and give them something wholesome," he said. The column actually had an adverse effect on Oread, dropping readership by 20 percent. Jim Bendyknee, Oread representative "We're working on a 'Dear Abby' type column where teachers write to the chancellor and ask him questions about how to deal with pesky in-laws and such," Bendyknee said. "We'll get our readers back." said the failure of Shulenburger's sex column wasn't the end for the paper and new ideas were being circulated to boost readership. One anonymous teacher said nothing would pull her away from the Kansan. PETER BENNETT Shulenburger "Without Bainum's column, my husband would continue to be a cold fish in bed," she said. "Now I don't even hate sex with him." Contact Zink at editor@kansan.com. Baby Jay in MIP melodrama The KU Police Department reported yesterday that the beloved Baby Jay mascot was caught Saturday night consuming alcohol at what appeared to be a party. Sgt. Mike Badlow of the KUPD gave Baby Jay the citation. Baby Jay was issued a minor in possession citation because the bird is not yet of drinking age. Although Baby Jay was born in 1971, he's "still just a kid," said Big Jay. "I noticed Baby Jay's big yellow beak as soon as I walked in," he said. "I asked him if he had beer in his cup. He just silently waved and smiled. I asked him a second time, and he just gave me a thumbs-up and a hug, so I busted him." This was not Baby Jay's first run-in with the law.

Last spring, Senate changed its rules to comply with Supreme Court rulings that stated student fees must be distributed in a viewpoint neutral fashion, meaning student governments can't deny an organization money solely because it was religious or partisan. Senate previously could not allocate money to groups founded under a religious philosophy or those that took part in politically partisan activity. The organizations must meet certain guidelines, however. They must be open to all students, and the money can only buy things such as office supplies, not copies of the Bible. Andrew Zidel, KU graduate on a fellowship at Hillel, said that the foundation was asking for the money for a Greek- Shabbot dinner. The dinner would be open to non-Greeks and non-Iewish people. David Chronister, who is in charge of the KU Unitarian Univerlists, said he was aware that his group could be eligible for money, and members might consider going before Senate in the future. "The reason why we haven't asked is because we haven't felt the need," the Topeka junior said. Off-campus senator Karen Keith, said the reason for so few requests was because few were aware that Senate could possibly finance all campus groups. "We don't want all student groups to see us as the primary source of funding." Keith said. Keith said that it was hard to draw the line and that some senators still had qualms about allocating money to religious or politically partisan groups.

Students match wits at KU College Bowl By Jessica Tims Kansan staff writer About 150 University of Kansas students will use their minds as weapons in a battle of the brains at College Bowl tomorrow in the Kansas Union.

CAREER STUDIES STAYING CLEAN Adam Waechter, Lawrence sophomore, teaches passersby how to clean dirty needles. "I don't know how many intravenous drug users we have on this campus," Waecher said. "I just thought this would be nice to know." AARON LERNER/KANSAN I will never forget the day I met my first book. It was a wonderful experience. I felt so inspired by it and loved it deeply. I will always remember it. Art and design student Zahra Knott, Derby freshman, browses through the art section at the Jayhawk Bookstore. Knott said she had noticed an increase in the price of art supplies this semester. AARON LERNER/KANSAN Pricey supplies a drag Art and design students find expenses mount when classes start. By Melissa Shuman Kansan staff writer Last fall, Melanie Dedonder spent $800 on supplies for her interior design classes. "Last semester was the worst," said Dedonder, Peabody junior. "I had to buy a $500 camera, developing stuff and paper." Dedonder is not alone.Many art and design students are surprised when they enroll in classes with expensive supply lists. "I spent $250 my first semester on printing, charcoal and tools," said Nick Mitchell, a December 2001 graduate in visual communications and graphic design. But the closer students get to graduation, the less they spend, he said. "For graphics classes, the first two years is expensive but after that you've probably bought everything you need," Mitchell said. For graphics students, Mitchell said the cost of graphic design could be particularly high because students have to pay to print the project in color. "If you go to Kinko's you could pay $60 to $140 for printing one poster," Mitchell said. Travis Hopkins, a Kinko's employee, said that it cost $7.95 a square foot to print in color. He said most graphic design poster projects ranged from three to eight square feet. "We've actually lowered the price this semester," he said. "It used to cost over $10 per square foot to print in color." Art supplies are also costly because the raw materials are expensive for manufacturers, said Carol Klinknett, the Jayhawk Bookstore employee that orders art materials. "When they make a natural bristle sable brush, they have to get hairs from the sable animal's tail," she said. "It's not chean." Klinknett also said that it was difficult and expensive to make many higher quality pigments, papers and canvases. Dedonder said she didn't mind spending a little extra for supplies if she would use them in the future. "If you buy a hammer or a screwdriver for a tool kit, it's something that you can use later on," she said. Klinknett agreed that art students could benefit from buying higher quality supplies. However, students who won't use the supplies outside of class should probably stick to cheaper quality brushes and paints, she said. "If you're just starting out, or just taking the class for fun, the quality of work you will be doing may not be worth the price," Klinknett said. Shuman can be reached at mshuman@kansan.com.

Stephenson Hall residents plan to start endowment fund By Caroline Boyer Kansan staff writer As Stephenson Scholarship Hall celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, David Roby thinks it is time for the hall to have an endowment fund. Roby, president of Stephenson and Topeka junior, met with Ken Stoner, director of Student Housing, yesterday to discuss creating an endowment fund for Stephenson. "Over the summer, I met the first class that lived in Stephenson Scholarship Hall, and my main thing is that 50 years from now, I want to be able to come back and still have Stephenson around," Roby said. "The current situation that's unique about right now is that we're the only scholarship hall that doesn't have air conditioning, which was our main reasoning to ask for the endowment." Roby brought the proposal before the All Scholarship Hall Council last November, asking for its support. The council approved the proposal 16-3. He stated in his proposal that Stephenson had fewer amenities than other scholarship halls, notably no air-conditioning and fewer individual showers. Yet, residents have to pay the same fees as residents of the five other male halls. Roby said he argued that a precedent had been set by requiring residents in K.K. Amini and Margaret Amini Scholarship halls to pay $56 more this year for better amenities. He said the same amount of money should be reduced from each of the 49 Stephenson residents' housing fees, a total of $2,744. Roby proposed this money be contributed toward an endowment fund. "They've done a great job, and we're all happy that Stephenson Hall is finally taking a step toward setting up an endowment fund." Leonid Tolkachev Overland Park senior "It's much easier to ask the alumni to contribute to something that already exists than to get the money themselves," Roby said. Stoner said he thought he was unable to legally redirect the residents' housing fees. "I told him I'd work with him on the spirit of what he's talking about," Stoner said. "But they contracted that room and board payment with me, and I don't think I can take that and say I'm going to do something else with it." Stoner said he would work with Stephenson residents to get local donors and alumni to set up an endowment fund. Leonid Tolkachev, Overland Park senior and Stephenson resident, said he was pleased with the proposal his hall members put together. "They've done a great job, and we're all happy that Stephenson Hall is finally taking a step toward setting up an endowment fund," Tolkachev said. Stephenson is scheduled to get air conditioning this summer, a project which Stoner estimates will cost around $100,000. Boyer can be reached at cboyer@kansan.com.

CAMPUS Broken Campanile bells chime again Students returning to class last week might have noticed that the quarter-hourly chimes from the Campanile sounded different. The bolt worked its way loose during winter break. Elizabeth Berghout, University of Kansas carilloneur and assistant professor of carillon and organ, said that a loose bolt caused a clapper in one of the bells to rest against the bell, preventing it from ringing. An independent contractor that maintains the bells fixed the problem last Friday. "I left for vacation, and when I came back, it was not working," Berghout said. — Sarah Hill Council forms group to look at tuition hike University Council members voted yesterday afternoon to create a committee proposed by Student Senate to look into the proposed tuition increase at the University of Kansas. The Ad-Hawk Committee on Tuition Increase will include members from Student Senate, Faculty Senate and Classified Staff Senate. The committee will focus on the financial necessities, review formulas for calculating and awarding financial aid and come to a consensus for a specific plan on tuition. The Student Senate members on the committee are: Dallas Rakesraw, Nune-maker senator; Jamel Bell, graduate student senator; and Matt Steppe, Student Legislative Awareness Board director. The Faculty Senate also will elect three members and one member of unclassified professional staff to serve on the Ad-Hawk committee. Rakestraw said the committee hoped to have the first meeting in about two weeks.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 3A Students endorse free speech not conversion on campus Andrew Zidel, president, KU Hillel and Rachelle Cauthon, president, KU Objectivists By Maggie Koerth Kansan staff writer The goal of all religions is to provide answers, especially to questions of morality and the divine. In order to gain a better understanding of what people believe, The University Daily Kansan will feature a question of the week where we ask members of various religions a particular moral or ethical question. We hope the answers will illuminate the differences and sometimes surprising similarities between different beliefs. Q. How important is it to you to tell other people about your religion? Should religious prose-lytizing be allowed on campus? A. Rachelle Cauton, atheist and president of KU Objectivists "I think that's something that always comes with having a strong belief in anything is the will to bring other people in and let them see the validity and necessity of the things that you value. As far as proselytizing on campus, I think it's a basic issue of freedom of speech. So long as you are on public land, I think you have the right to espouse and say whatever you will, regardless of how abrasive or stupid or irritating your beliefs may be. So if you don't like something on campus you can be unresponsive, which I think is the best way to get rid of it. But suppressing ideas because you don't like them on campus is the wrong thing, especially for a university to do." A. Andrew Zidel, president of KU Hillel "It's very important for me as a law and as a minority to educate people about our religion and beliefs. I think it's a good lesson in tolerance and in pluralism. Fear and hatred usually stem from ignorance. However, it seems to me that religious education and education about beliefs should be more like a free-will thing. If you are curious, then there are ways to learn more about others. But campus is a place where people should feel safe to walk from class to class without being challenged or confronted with any major theological debates. So I am against people who I've seen stand on ladders and tell the whole campus they are going to hell. I am against that. Campus is no place for that. There are campus organizations where there are appropriate places for learning or for discussion, but campus proselytizing is not the way to educate." If you have a question you'd like to have answered in the Question of the Week, contact Koerth at mkoreth@kansan.com. This story was edited by Justin Guenley. ADUCKA MKP Student directs bus system Transportation Coordinator Mike Appleby, Lawrence junior, is responsible for keeping the KU on Wheels program running smoothly. Appleby is currently trying to get a new bus shelter built in front of Learned Hall. Mike Appleby keeps KU on Wheels running when not in class AARON LERNER/KANSAN By Adam Pracht Kansan staff reporter Mike Appleby wore black combat boots and a backwards cap. A passing glance probably wouldn't reveal the importance of his job to the University of Kansas. "I'm like a low-rent super hero who just happens to know everything about buses," said Appleby, who has worked since the beginning of the school year as director of KU on Wheels. KU on Wheels is the bus system that services KU's Lawrence campus, areas in Lawrence such as downtown and various apartment complexes. ine bus system gives 22 million rides annually with Safe Ride giving another 22,000 rides a year, Appleby said. Student body president Justin Mills appointed Appleby, a Lawrence junior, to the position. Appleby is also a nontraditional student senator. In addition to majoring in environmental studies and East Asian studies and bartending in the evening, Appleby spends 20 hours each week working in the KU on Wheels office. He spends 10 to 15 hours each week in various meetings. Planning bus routes, selling passes, working with the Student Senate transportation committee and planning around poor weather conditions are some of Appleby's many responsibilities. He also handled complaints, refunds and unexpected holdups in bus routes. "My job is to sit in my office and brainstorm ways to make things work more efficiently," he said. Holly Krebs, the previous KU on Wheels director and Lawrence resident, said the job was an important student position. "It's one of the student positions on campus that's closest to being an administrator," she said, "It's a major responsibility. It's something that's required for the University." She said that a great variety of people have held the position. "None of them are the people that you would expect to take a position like this," she said, "The link is that they see the need for a good bus system." Katie Bartlett, Wiltmette, Ill. senior, is a College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator. Bartlett is chair of the transportation board, said that Appleby was passionate about his work. "He's a bus dork. He likes them," Bartlett said, "So that's a good thing. For someone who's going to spend about 30 hours or so during their week doing this, it's really important to have someone who cares that much about it." While the system usually runs smoothly, Appleby said that problems occasionally appear. He has dealt with problems ranging from a bus collision to a student whose face was accidentally caught in the door, breaking her glasses. Aaron Quisenberry, advisor to the transportation board, said that Appleby handled the bus system well. "I admire somebody to be able to do that because I could barely put gas in my car as an undergrad," Quisenberry said. "He loves doing things for the community. Whatever he'll do, he'll do it with all of his heart." Contact Pracht at aprecht@kansan.com. This story was edited by Sarah Warren.

I watched the MTV specials on teenage sex and read John Irving. I listened to people who equated being anti-abortion with being anti-woman. Considering myself to be someone who supports women's rights, I accepted the pro-choice mantras. I also tried to swallow the line that men had no right to an opinion on the subject since they do not actually have children or abortions. I equated pro-filers with fundamentalist Christians and the Fred Phelps crowd. Yet I realized that, whenever I found myself debating the subject, I somehow ended up angering the pro-choicers and moving closer and closer to the pro-lifers. The unfortunate truth about the abortion debate is that it is an issue that defies compromise and that is oversimplified by both sides Let's begin with the eternal debate centered on this question of when life begins. The Pope says it begins as soon as intercourse gets all those little particles moving around in a woman's body. But for Hillary Rodham-Clinton, a child could be living happily in the womb with the basic ability to survive, wet have its brain sucked out because it is still a fetus. The sad truth is that no absolute answer to this question exists. Yet one truth is clear. Even if a fetus is not a person, it is certainly a future person. And it is equally clear that a fetus is, to some degree, alive. Abortion is the act of terminating this life process. Bradley E. Freedman opinion@kansan.com is the act that he did. Roe v. Wade was a misguided attempt to legalize abortion under the right-to-privacy laws. Roe v. Wade helped create a society where abortion is often viewed as commonplace, and abortion rights have only been expanded since 1973. The contradiction of Roe v. Wade is that while concentrating on the woman's humanity, it reduces the fetus to a mere biological process. Women should have every right to do what they wish with their own bodies. Abortion, quite simply, affects the child as well. There is a solution. First, Roe v. Wade must be discarded. The next step is to further restrict abortions after the first trimester, except where the mother's life or health would be in danger. During this interim period, first-trimester abortions would remain legal until such time as the "morning-after pill" can be made available to women. COMMENTARY For both sides of the abortion debate, the "morning-after pill" is the best thing to happen in the past 50 years. If taken within 72 hours of intercourse, it allows a woman to stop the process of conception in its earliest stages. This type of birth control must be the wave of the future if the abortion debate is ever to be resolved. The final stage of the plan would be twofold. Abortion as we know them would be made illegal (except in the case of rape). The "morning-after pill" would be widely available and covered by health care and insurance companies. TIM HARRISON While this may anger the true believers on both sides, it is a worthy compromise. It still allows girls and women to control the decision of when to have a child, but it also requires them to be responsible and make the choice in the earliest stages of conception — before the first heartbeat, before the hands form, before the fetus becomes viable The question of when life begins has been turned into pure semantics by both sides, but especially the abortion-rights crowd. The truth is that the beginning of life is a mystery that probably has no answer in nature. It is unreasonable to expect humans to find a solution to a question with no answer. Even 29 years after Roe v. Wade, we still must fight for our rights I'm not going to change anybody's mind about abortion. I wouldn't even want to try. Albeit, it is an old and tired debate. So why even talk about it? Conservative Kansas complies with restrictions set forth by the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits public funding for abortion except in the cases of life endangerment, rape or incest. I'll tell you why. Our fundamental right to choose is being threatened. Right now retirements on the Supreme Court are expected, and President George W.Bush — who has made it clear that he thinks abortion is wrong — will nominate incoming justices. Anti-choice advocates in the Kansas Legislature propose bills almost annually that would chip away at a woman's right to choose. And all this while 95 percent of Kansas counties still remain without an abortion provider. But nobody can blame doctors for not providing abortions when most abortion providers receive threats regularly and often have to LIFE CHOICE 1001 COMMENTARY Brooke Hesler bhesler@kansan.com pay armed guards to watch over their practices. We are taking for granted the right to decide what happens to our bodies. On this week — the 29th anniversary of the historic Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade — supporters of choice must not remain silent, or else those rights might not be around tomorrow. I'm not trying to sway anybody when it comes to this complex issue. We should respect the views of others, even if they believe abortion is killing a baby. I would only ask that those people respect my views, too. If they believe abortion is wrong, then fine. They never have to have an abortion, but they shouldn't try to inflict their views on me and my body. Neither should the primarily well-to-do middle-aged white men who serve in our government. Besides, making abortion illegal wouldn't stop abortion. It would just increase unsafe back-alley abortions. After Roe v. Wade, the number of deaths from abortion declined more than fivefold, according to the Centers for Disease Control. If anti-abortion proponents value life, perhaps they should consider those figures before making blanket statements when it comes to making abortion illegal. In a perfect world every baby would be wanted. Unfortunately, that will never happen. People should be responsible and understand the repercussions of their actions when they choose to engage in sex, but people err. It isn't me who has to be pregnant for nine months or raise a child, and it isn't me who should tell anybody else that's what they should do. Life is about choices and mistakes. I know I've made many, but they were mine to make, no one else's. I wouldn't want a government that didn't allow me to decide what's best for my own body and my own life. Make sure you know where your elected officials stand on important issues like abortion, and vote in every election. Write these people, and let them know what you think. Young people are often quick to speak their views on everything from the war in Afghanistan to increased tuition, but we can't stop there. We must make sure the people who represent us are also representative of our views. My grandmother marched in support of abortion rights. She wanted to make sure that the right to choose was there for her granddaughters. I hope it will be there for mine. Hesler is an Overland Park junior in journalism. She is associate opinion editor.

Wade court decision to legalize abortion, Dr. George Tiller had an interesting form of commemoration on Jan. 19.To show his strong support of the decision, Tiller decided to provide free abortions. Dr. Tiller defends his decision stating, "This is an alert. It is a wakeup call," and, "We are sort of a huddled mass here together, a few of us arrayed against a vast enemy. We are armed with our attitude and our conviction that men and women are reproductively equal." What does it say about society's moral compass, regardless on which side of the issue you stand, when abortions are handed out like baseball bats on opening day? Tiller is using free abortions to gain attention, be it for business or to have a few minutes of fame. trivializing an extremely serious decision. The hangers and sidewalk chalk on campus serve as stark reminders of the sentiment that surrounds the abortion debate. It is an issue on which humans will likely never come to a consensus. Abortion is a serious topic that should be treated for what it is — a life-altering decision. What's more, considering that the world seems so split on this emotional issue, it's hard to tieure his "huddléd mass against a vast enemy" claim. Might he just be manipulating women's freedom of choice for his own gain by trivializing an extremely serious decision? Thirty-two women signed up for Tiller's free abortions. By setting time limits on the period that the free administration of abortions would be offered, Tiller could be pressuring women into making knee-jerk decisions instead of one that should be carefully pondered. He is completely downplaying the most emotional, heart-wrenching decision a woman might ever face. His decision to place abortions on the same playing field as baseball bats shows nothing but utter disregard for the women he claims to be caring for. should be carefully provided. If Tiller truly believes that women should be provided with free abortions, he should provide this service year-round. He is clearly not doing this for the women, but for himself. Every woman has the constitutional right to have an abortion, but this profound decision is one that shouldn't be taken lightly. Tiller's actions are making a mockery of the women who came to utilize his services and his profession.

The Cowgirls went 1-4 against five ranked teams in that stretch, their lone victory being a huge 68-60 win against No. 11 Kansas State last Sunday. After Wednesday night's loss to the Wildcats, Kansas coach Marian Washington said she hoped the team could keep building momentum. Oklahoma State (10-9 overall, 2-4 Big 12 Conference) picked up defeated K-State 68-60 Sunday in Stillwater, fueled by a 23-point effort from sophomore forward Trisha Skibbe, who hails from Oxford. The Cowgirls followed up their upset victory with a 62-51 loss at the hands of No. 12 Texas Tech on Wednesday in Lubbock, Texas. Oklahoma State is led offensively by Skibbe, who averages 15.1 points per game, and senior forward Tari Cummings, who averages 13.1 points per contest. Cummings averaged 17.9 game last year before her season was cut short by a knee injury. "We have had some great players through the years here," Oklahoma State coach Dick Halterman said, "I think Tari is there with the best who have ever played in our program." Halterman said the senior leadership on the Cowgirls squad is the team's key to victory. "We are heavy at the top with seniors and all of them have seen major playing time," he said. "We are as experienced as anybody in the league." The Jayhawks play host to the Cowgirls at 2:05 p.m. tomorrow at Allen Fieldhouse. The two teams have not squared off since the Big 12 Tournament in Kansas City, Mo., last year, a game the Jayhawks won 66-56. Contact Wood at rwood@kansan.com. This story was edited by Brooke Hesler. 'Hawks ready to heat up track and field By Matt Norton Kansan sportswriter It's only January, but a growing group of Kansas track and field athletes are beginning to think about what might await them in February and March. while the entire team is experiencing a steep improvement curve, the Jayhawks head into tomorrow's triangular in Manhattan with Kansas State and Missouri with several athletes who are poised to shine at both the Big 12 Conference and NCAA indoor championships later this season. "Our athletes are concerned about qualifying for the NCAA they understand that's the goal," head coach Stanley Redwine said. "They're ready to compete well, and in the back of their minds, they're thinking, 'Hey, I can do this.'" Juniors Monique Peters and Anson Jackson and freshman Brooklyn Hann could make a splash in both the 60-meter hurdles and the jumping events. "I believe the long jump is helping Anson's hurdling as far as his rhythm and attacking the hurdles," Redwine said. "And that's the same with Brooklyn and Monique." The Jayhawks also have some of the strongest vertical jumpers in recent history. Junior T.J. Hackler and freshman Sondra Rauterkus won the high jump at Missouri and made good attempts at NCAA qualifying marks, just missing in both cases. "Sonda is still young," assistant coach Brian Ferry said. "All she needs is to mature some and get more comfortable at the bigger meets." Assistant coach Doug Clark trains a group of middle distance runners in several events. He said the goal tomorrow and next week is to determine who will run which event at Iowa State in two weeks. Senior Brian Blachly ran on the distance medley relay team that finished sixth at last year's NCAA meet and set the school record. He is a threat to also qualify for the NCAAs individually in either the 800 or the mile. Fellowsenior Derec Lacio ran right on Blachly's heels in a workout Wednesday and could run the crucial 1200-meter leg on the DMR this year, while freshman Brandon Hodges was one of the nation's best high school 800-meter runners last year. Clark said he thinks Hodges could make an impact at Kansas soon. "We recruited him to KU to make All American a whole bunch of times," Clark said Sophomore Laura Lavoie came close to the NCAA qualifying standard last year in the 800, running 2:10.81, while senior Katy Eisenmenger ran 4:29 for 1500 meters outdoors last spring. Right now senior thrower Scott Russell is the only Jayhawk who has qualified for the NCAA meet. But Clark, referring to Lavoie and Eisenmenger, summed up the chances of others on the team. "We just gotta get fit and stay healthy, and I think they can definitely do it," Clark said of their chances of going to the NCAAs. "And after they get there, who knows?" sports@kansan.com.

Contact Norton at Mangino adds last two coach positions By John Domoney Kansan sportswriter With this week's hiring of two new coaches, Kansas football coach Mark Mangino completed his staff. Mangino rounded out his staff by adding Tyrone Dixon as running backs coach and George Matsakis as director of football operations. Dixon has spent his coaching career bouncing around the college ranks and even had a one-year stint in the NFL as wide receivers coach for the San Diego Chargers. The past two seasons Dixon has served as wide receivers coach at the University of Cincinnati. The Bearcats have played in post-season bowl games each of the past two seasons. "Tyrone Dixon is an outstanding coach who will be a valuable addition to our staff," Mangino said. From 1986-88, Dixon began his coaching career at his alma mater and moved to Akron from 1990-91. Dixon also coached at Temple in 1992, James Madison in 1993 and had two stints at the University of Houston from 1993-96 and from 1998-99. "George Matsakis will play a meaningful role in the administration of the football program," Mangino said. "He comes from a In Matsakis, Mangino got another former Houston Cougar who has spent the last two years as director of football operations. MARK MANGINO'S ASSISTANT COACHES: Brandon Blaney: Position to be named later Dave Borberly: Offensive Line Coach Tyrone Dixon: Running Backs Coach Clint Bowen: Position to be named later Dave Doeren: Linebackers Coach Pat Henderson: Secondary Coach Travis Jones: Defensive Line Coach Nick Quartaro: Offensive Coordinator Bill Young: Defensive Coordinator George Matsakis: Football Operations Director football family and will be extremely valuable in helping our program in a variety of roles. $ ^{17} $ Prior to his role at Houston, Matsakis served for three years as director of football operations and video coordinator at the University of Wyoming.

Life as a Jayhawk is pretty good right now. But there are also a few things that suck, like cancer and the Missouri Tigers. You can do something to fight both on Monday night when Mizzou comes to Lawrence. You can wear a blue shirt to the game. If you don't have a blue shirt, then you can buy one at the game. The Student Athlete Advisory Committee has sold 3,000 "Feel The Pride" shirts and will be selling the final 1,000 of them at the game for only five bucks, with one dollar from each shirt going to the American Cancer Society. Help fight cancer and support your Jayhawks by buying a shirt. Then wear it to all of your favorite Kansas sporting events for years to come. That's right, it's that easy. In just three steps you can make a difference. Step 1: put on a royal blue shirt. Step 2: walk to Allen Fieldhouse. Step 3: cheer at the top of your lungs. Presto! You're a superfan. You rule! Wear the classy "Muck Fizzou" shirts if you want, or wear a homemade "*uck Mizzou*" shirt if you please; just wear blue. Leave your yellow T-shirts, gray sweatshirts and Abercrombie gear at home. Wear a blue shirt. Wear one because a uniform crowd looks the best on TV. Wear one because a uniform crowd looks the most intimidating to opposing teams and creates a more hostile game-day environment. Wear one because you care. It's such a simple thing to do, but it can make a huge difference. Look at the successful support of Kansas State football and women's basketball, or every Nebraska athletics team. Armies of purple and red follow each school. They're louder and more colorful than Kansas fans at any sport except men's basketball. That needs to change. "Our plan it to get people to wear blue to every athletic event, not just basketball or football," said Maggie Mason, a sophomore women's soccer player and one of the student-athletes heading up the campaign. "We hope to get a Nebraska-like theme started, where if you see someone in a royal blue shirt at a game then you know they're there for KU." There's no better opportunity than Monday for Kansas fans to jump on the blue-shirt bandwagon. Missouri is coming to town. There's no excuse not to wear blue shirts, make posters and paint your face. ESPN is broadcasting the biggest home game of the year on Big Monday, making it a prime opportunity for students to show just how rowdy it can get when corralled behind the student section's retaining walls. The crowd has rocked this season mainly because of the student section and the camping groups, but more can be done. Blue shirts are the answer. A sea of blue is what the Jayhawks need. It can be achieved, but only if you are proud enough to make it happen. Wear blue for Mizzou, and show the nation just how good it is to be a Jayhawk. Wristen is a Leawood senior in journalism.

The Jayhawks play Texas A&M tomorrow in College Station, TX, at 3 p.m. Aggies united despite losses By Brent Wasko Kansan sportswriter Texas A&M's men's basketball team has had its fill of turmoil this season. The Aggies, 8-11 overall and 2-3 in the Big 12 Conference, have battled through long losing streaks, injuries and suspensions to win two straight Big 12 contests against favored teams. Texas A&M coach Melvin Watkins said his team was the most confident it had been all year and thought his team was playing No.2 Kansas, 16-2 overall and 5-0 in the conference, at Reed Arena at the most opportune time. "We feel a lot better about our chances of winning," Watkins said. "We're playing better basketball. The credit goes out to the players. They have gone through a lot and worked through it." After losing six consecutive games, the Aggies squeaked out their first Big 12 victory of the season at home on Jan. 19 against Baylor, 63-60. Last Wednesday, Texas A&M surprised No. 24 Texas 80-74 on the road, placing Kansas in lone possession of first place in the Big 12. Kansas coach Roy Williams said the Aggies recent success should help motivate the Jayhawks this Saturday. "It shouldn't be difficult for our players to get concerned and for them to get ready because those wins are impressive." Williams said. "Winning breeds more winning." Until last week, Texas A&M had little to be happy about. On Jan. 7, Watkins suspended freshman for ward Daryl Mason and sophomore guard Michael Gardener indefinitely for unspecified reasons. Just three days later, the team's top rebounder, sophomore center Andy Slocum, broke his left hand in the first half of the Aggies' game against Texas Tech. Doctors told him he could not play for six weeks, but Watkins said the recovery process had gone well. Stocum is listed as questionable for the Kansas game. Texas A&M's leading scorer, Bernard King, who averages 16.7 points per game, said losing teammates took a toll on the squad, but that the team had been able to overcome the adversity. "The team is coming closer and closer together," Kings said. "Everybody's giving it their all, and we're going good now." Since losing three members of the team to injury and suspension, the Aggies have fielded a different starting lineup almost every game. Texas A&M has 10 players who play more than 10 minutes a game. Williams said that aspect of the team made it more challenging to prepare for the Aggies. "I've always thought that was a good kind of team to have," he said. "You can't focus on just stopping one or two players." Texas A&M faces Kansas at 3 p.m. tomorrow afternoon. Contact Wasko at bwasko@kansan.com. This story was edited by Justin Henning. By Doug Pacey Langford set for homecoming against Aggies Kansan sportswriter Keith Langford went to high school less than two hours from Texas A&M, but he never really considered going to school in College Station, Texas. The Aggies recruited him when he was in high school, but Texas' best prep basketball players like Langford, who was first-team All-State his senior year, don't go to A&M, which has had just one winning season since 1990. "After a while it became a thing to fall back on if things didn't work out," the freshman swingman said. Unfortunately for the Aggies (8-11 overall, 2-3 Big 12 Conference), No. 2 Kansas (16-2 overall, 5-0 Big 12) and No. 6 Oklahoma (15-2 overall, 4-1 Big 12) came calling and the basketball powerhouses ruined any chance Texas A&M had of getting the in-state prospect. Tomorrow the Aggies will get a chance to see what they missed out on when they play the Jayhawks at 3 p.m. at Reed Arena. Langford hasn't started a single game for the Jayhawks this season, but he's always one of the first off the bench and is averaging more than 20 minutes per game. He'll continue to get that much court-time if he keeps up his defensive effort, said coach Roy Williams. Notes: Williams said he didn't think there was anything wrong with Drew Gooden slamming the ball on the court after the win at Iowa State on Wednesday. "If people talk about that they need to get a life...What do you want him to do, eat it?" he said. "No salt, no pepper, no mustard. I didn't know it but someone said Iowa State did it here when they beat us. I have zero problems with it." An in-depth article about Kansas' three-game stretch against UCLA, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma appears in this week's Sports Illustrated. SI writer Grant Wahl was given access normally not granted to reporters, something Williams said he allowed because his players liked the exposure from the magazine.

Women remain optimistic as they prepare for Sooners By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter Throughout a season filled with more downs than ups, Kansas senior guard K.C. Hilgenkamp remained adamant about keeping a positive attitude, even as her team plunges deeper into Jayhawk record books. Kansas (5-15 overall, 0-7 Big 12 Conference) will try once again to snap its seven game losing streak, the longest in school history, tomorrow night at home against Oklahoma State (10-9, 2-4). The 'Hawks have yet to win this calendar year and their last conference win came in February 2001 against Texas A&M. "There's some frustration, but I still come in every day and try to stay positive and keep having the attitude that we have a chance to win." Hilgenkamp said. "I'm just going to keep having that attitude for the rest of the season. I know our team is going to click one of these times, and we're going to see what it's like to win." Hilgenkamp clicked offensively at Kansas State on Wednesday. She hit a season-high four three-pointers and ended with 18 points—the lone Jayhawk in double figures. Oklahoma State, tabbed to finish ninth in the Big 12 Women's Basketball Coaches Preseason Poll, has lost to the Jayhawks the last 9-of-10 times the two teams have met. Kansas coach Marian Washington joins Hilgenkamp in her optimism for tomorrow's game. "I keep looking forward and I'm constantly challenging myself," Washington said. "It's important for me to get some of these young players on the floor to get some experience. We're going to be ok — soon." Against K-State, five of those young players saw significant time on the court for Washinton, who received her first technical of the season Wednesday. Kansas made several runs during that contest but was unable to close the gap, a recurring trend this season. "The whole season, even though we haven't been winning, we've always had good runs," Hilgenkamp said. Contact Scott at sports@kansan.com.

This made hard feelings between the two states." ISSUE 80 VOLUME 112 Harold Miederhoff Sport rivalry turns up heat in interschool relationships secretary of the Mid-Missouri Civil War KYLE RAMSEY/KANSAN State-line RIVALRY By Summer Lewis Kansan staff writer For at least three University of Kansas students, the Kansas and University of Missouri rivalry extends beyond the basketball court and into their personal relationships. Mike Fischer, Jefferson City, Mo., junior, has dated Lynne Jenkins, a freshman who attends Missouri, for about three years. He said she could not come to the game at 8 tonight in Allen Fieldhouse because it was too expensive, but the rivalry between them would still be strong. "I get a lot of crap from everyone about it, because I am from a town really close to Columbia," Fischer said. "The couple of weeks leading up to the game are always extremely bitter." Fischer said he had gone to the game at Missouri with Jenkins and other friends for as long as he could remember, and there were always stories to tell about the Missouri fans. "I have gotten beer poured on me when I was there," Fischer said. "When we go out to eat at Shakespeare's Pizza in Columbia, people always yell at me because I am a KU fan." "Old ladies would yell at me because they would be pissed off that I was cheering for Kansas," Fischer said. "A lot of the time I can only get seats in the D section because I am from KU." Fischer said that people of all ages would pick him out of the student section at Missouri and that he could only get seats in the back of the Hearnes Center, Missouri's home court. States' competitiveness started with abolitionist struggle Jessica Fishback, Florissant, Mo., junior, has dated Mike Stoll, a senior who attends Missouri, since high school. SEE RELATIONSHIPS ON THE BACKPAGE Jessica Tims Kansan Staff Writer The hatred between Kansas and Missouri has been thriving longer than the existence of the universities and their athletic programs. The rivalry began before the Civil War, before Quantrill's raid and long before former Missouri player and coach Norm Stewart stepped foot on a basketball court. The rivalry's roots are embedded in the 1850s, said Katie Armitage. Armitage is a local historian who is working on a book about the conflict between Kansas and Missouri from 1863 to 1930. During that time the residents of Missouri, a slave state, were threatened by Kansas, which was a free territory, she said. Susan Flader, professor of history at the University of Missouri, said pro-slave residents of Missouri would cross state lines to vote in Kansas. "There was a political struggle in 1854 when abolitionists came from New England to inhabit Kansas." Armitage said. "The people of Missouri saw it as a threat. There were tobacco and hemp farms located on the Kansas-Missouri line. They were not the huge plantations like in the south, but they did have slaves, and slaves were very expensive and important property back then." "They were trying to control elections because of the rush of non-slave holders inhabiting Kansas," she said. "They couldn't win, and the population went with the Union." Read more about tonight's Kansas vs. Missouri game on page 1B. These issues were raised again in 1863 when William Quantrill and his raiders set Lawrence on fire and killed 240 to 250 people, said Harold Miederhoff, secretary of the Mid-Missouri Civil War Roundtable in Columbia, Mo. Quantrill was proslavery. "Quantrill came from Missouri to burn down Lawrence, and Jim Lane also came from Kansas to burn down Osceola, Missouri," Miederhoff said about Lane, an abolitionist. "This made hard feelings between the two states." SEE RIVALRY ON THE BACKPAGE TIMELINE: Missouri-Kansas rivalry 1854 1861 1804 The Kansas-Nebraska Act allowed residents of the Kansas territory to vote on whether the new state would be free or allow slavery. Abolitionists from New England moved to the territory to keep it free, while Missouri residents crossed the state line to vote for slavery. Kansas entered the Union as a free state in 1861. Kansan abolitionist Jim Lane led his men, known as Jayhawks, into Osceola, Mo., and burned the city. Lane's group hauled items from Osceola back to Kansas in stolen wagons. 1083 William Quentrill, a pro- slavery activist from Missouri, rode into Lawrence with his residers. They burned the town and killed 240 to 250 residents. 1912 Kansas football player Tommy Johnson died from an injury sustained in a game against Missouri two years earlier. Basketball coach Phog Allen later used Johnson's story in pep talks before Missouri games. 1923 Kansas defeats Missouri 23-20 and won the big 6 tournament. Coach Phog Allen had announced he would retire as coach if the team did not beat Missouri for the conference title and end the Tigers' years of dominance. THREE INJURED IN FIRE Student says landlord neglected home repairs CAUTION POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS Three KU students, a Lawrence Free State High School student and a Washburn University student lost their home at 1216 Ohio Street to a fire early Friday morning. CHRISTINA NEFF/KANSAN A fire destroyed the house early Friday morning, injuring three people and killing a dog. The fire department estimated at least $75,000 in damage. By Rachel Keesee Kansan staff writer No fire alarms in the house at 1216 Ohio St. had ever gone off, resident Derek Hein said, and Friday was no exception. "She has yet to contact us — any of us — to ask if we're OK," he said. "Our The fire originated in the living room, Bradford said. Although the cause was undetermined, Bradford said the fire department was not ruling out an electrical problem. "The smoke alarm on the first floor was not operable, and we could not locate the second alarm," said Chief Deputy Mark Bradford. Hein, a Washburn University student, said fixing the fire alarms was his landlord's responsibility, but she was not prompt in responding to problems. Hein said he and the other four residents wrote a formal three-page document a couple months ago citing repairs they had made and repairs the house still needed, and gave it to Ashley Funderburk, the landlord. landlord doesn't answer phone calls when the sink is broken." Hein said some ceiling panels and coverings for light switches and sockets were missing, leaving wires exposed. "I don't believe that's the cause of the fire." Hein said. "But there were definitely times in that house that I felt unsafe." Funderburk did not return phone calls yesterday. Hein and his girlfriend, Lindsey Evans, Marietta, Ga., junior, were sleeping in a second-story room when Hein's dog. Aiko, awoke them. "There was smoke filling my room," Hein said. "Lindsey opened the door and a huge cloud of smoke came in." Hein called 911 from his cell phone, then he and Evans jumped from the second-story room to an awning slightly to the left of the window. When they jumped to the ground, Evans landed in the fetal position and couldn't move. Although his ankle was sprained, Hein carried Evans to the neighbor's yard. "It's funny — I couldn't walk on my own, but I still picked her up and carried her. I guess that's what adrenaline does for you," Hein said. Hein saw Matt Medling, Lawrence junior, at his third-story window. Medling asked Hein where to jump. "The fire department hadn't shown up yet," Hein said. "It seemed like an hour, but it was probably more like two minutes." When Medling hit the ground, he knew he was hurt. SEE FIRE ON THE BACKPAGE Cigarette tax hikes could offset state's budget woes By Melissa Shuman Kansan staff writer Kansas lawmakers are counting on smokers to help them balance the state budget. Graves' proposal, which was outlined in his state of the state address, also includes an increase in sales tax, gasoline tax, and vehicle registration fees, would raise $228 million. Senator David Corbin's proposal, which includes a tax hike on alcohol and all tobacco products, would raise $87 million. one state tax on cigarettes is currently 24 cents per pack, but Governor Bill Graves has proposed increasing it to 89 cents per pack. A competing Senate measure would raise it to 59 cents. Under both plans, the increase would take effect July 1. The tax increases were put forward as a result of a $426 million deficit in next year's budget. Hillary Neeland, Great Bend senior, said an increased cigarette tax wouldn't make her stop buying cigarettes. But Brian Walz, general manager of Smoker Friendly stores in Kansas, said he was worried about sales. "I think no matter how high the cigarettes cost I would still smoke," Neeland said. "They will make a lot of money because no one is just going to stop. I will get out my change if I have to. The addiction is too strong." "We're close enough to other states that people will drive there to buy cheaper cigarettes," Walz said. "I don't think it will stop people from smoking, and they know it, and they're being greedy and taking advantage of people," Walz said. "I think that would significantly hurt our business and other tobacco sales in the state." he said. Walz said he was concerned Kansas would lose money if tobacco consumers crossed the state line for their nicotine supply. Missouri has a 17-cent tax on cigarettes. The Hawk Shop sells cigarettes on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union. Employee Jessica Blubaugh said Hawk Shop prices were higher than convenience stores and grocery stores, but students shopped there to avoid leaving campus. Cigarette prices vary widely in stores. Neeland said she shopped at convenience stores because they often had the cheapest prices. INSIDETODAY Contact Shuman at mshuman@kansan.com. This story was edited by Eve Lamborn.

If this plan is Agreement made to extend South Lawrence Trafficway The Kansas Department of Transportation and Baker University have agreed on the building of the eastern leg of the South Lawrence Trafficway through the Baker Wetlands. approved by the Army Corps of Engineers, the trafficway will connect with Kansas Highway 10 east of Lawrence. Various proposed routes of the trafficway has been contested for years by Native American groups seeking to protect Haskell University's campus north of 31st Street and environmental groups seeking to protect the wetlands south of 31st Street. The approved route, referred to as the 32nd Street alignment, will run one-eighth of a mile south of 31st Street. Building the traffiway along this route would destroy 65 to 100 acres of wetlands In return, Louisiana Street south of 31st would move a half-mile west and Haskell Avenue south of 31st would move a quarter-mile east. KDOT has tentatively agreed to an $8.5 million mitigation package, which will include creating 300 to 700 new acres of wetlands between Haskell Avenue and Louisiana Street. —Leah Shaffer Student Senate plans to pass out handbills at basketball game Student Senate will distribute handbills with information on tuition increases to those waiting in line for the Kansas-Missouri basketball game tonight. Anna Gregory, senate communications director, said it was an easy way to reach those involved in the tuition debate. "This is a perfect opportunity to get students, alumni and people who care about KU all in one place," she said. The handbills will include contact information and cost comparisons for students. Gregory said she hoped the state legislature would choose to invest in higher education. Gregory said Senate hoped alumni especially would benefit from the information provided in the handbills. —Sarah Hill New copying service may open location at the Kansas Union A local copying service may fill the gap left behind when Mail Boxes Etc. closed in the Kansas Union in December. Pat Beard, director of Building Services for the Kansas and Burge unions and member of the facility committee of the Kansas Union Memorial Corporation, said that DPI, the Lawrence copying company that serves the Kansas Union, has expressed interest in the space. Beard said he hoped to bring back the copying and postal services that Mail Boxes Etc. used to provide. "I think our desired outcome would be that we got a copy service back in there," he said. For now, students can purchase books of stamps in the Kansas Union Bookstore. A copy machine is available for student use on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union, across from the computer lab. The fee is 10 cents per page. Beard said the committee was looking for stamp vending machines for the Union. The facility committee is also considering using the space for a travel agency or a beauty salon. Beard said final plans for the space should be decided by spring break in March. — Sarah Hill ET CETERA The University Daily Kansan (ISSN 0746-4962) is published at the University of Kansas, 119 Stauffer-Flint Hall, Lawrence, Kan. 66045, daily during the regular school year, excluding Saturday, Sunday, holidays and finals periods, and Wednesday during the summer session.

COMING SOON Watch for our New, 3rd Facility on East 23rd Street! 1 MONDAY.JAN.28.2002 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 24 KU landscaping project obstructs pick-up games SARA SHEPHERD/KANSAN By Caroline Boyer Kansan staff writer Orange fencing sections off parts of the field behind Templin Hall where residents of the hall used to play sports such as football and Frisbee. the Vusitor Center plans to construct a welcome arch in the field. Patrick Nuss, Shawnee junior and Templin Hall resident, was confused Friday when he looked out his 6th floor window and saw the lawn where he played sports roped off for construction. After speaking with Nuss, Templin resident Peter Gogol, Cranston, R.I., sophomore, called the KU Visitor Center, 1502 Iowa St., and asked where they would now play. "What the lady said to me, verbatim, was, I would suggest finding somewhere else to play," Gogol said. What Nuss and Gogol saw was a first step in the University of Kansas' $22 million landscaping plan, funded by donations to the Kansas University Endowment Association. Warren Corman, University architect, said that the area outside Templin and the Visitor Center would be landscaped as one of the University's major "gateways." Work started Friday. It will cost $900,000 and be completed in about 90 days, Corman said. The new area will be cleared of the power lines that run along Iowa Street and will include hundreds of new trees and plants, a brick plaza, a stone arch and a 100-foot long, 8-foot high stone sign reading, "The University of Kansas." "We're trying to beautify the entrance and make people feel welcome." Corman said. Corman said he had made several presentations to campus groups such as Student Senate telling them about the plan, but didn't talk to Daisy Hill residents about the landscaping. Corman said that although much of the lawn would be roped off during construction, there should be enough space for students to play sports. "We didn't even think about people using the lawn, I guess. We didn't do it to inconvenience them." Corman said. Nuss said he thought the residents of Daisy Hill should have been consulted. "Somewhere along the lines there was a lack of communications, because residence hall people didn't know about it and we're the ones who actually use that lawn," said Nuss. Gogol agreed there should have been more of an effort to inform the residents of Daisy Hill. "Tearing up our back yard is a pretty big deal in my opinion," Gogol said. Corman said it would be a temporary inconvenience. "It's also the University's main front yard." Corman said. "When we get done there will be plenty of room for them." Corman said the brick plaza, trees and sign would be in front of the Visitors Center. The area between the additions and Iowa Street will be open for students, though Nuss said he thought this might not be safe. "That's dangerously close to Iowa for playing a football game." Nuss said. The plan will also modify Jayhawk Boulevard and Memorial drive, add new signs on campus, and create a mid-hill walkway from Murphy Hall to Watson Library. Corman said the next step in the project would be creating signs for all the buildings on campus. A prototype for Strong Hall's sign has been created by Star Signs, 801 E. 23rd St., and will be mounted outside Strong next month. Contact Boyer at cboyer@kansan.com.

THE HIGH SCHOOL OF COMPUTER SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Building addition planned By Michelle Burhenn Kansan staff writer An idea that Carl Locke, dean of engineering, conceived 16 years ago from a forgotten sketch is finally becoming a reality. CONTRIBUTED ART The proposed addition to Learned Hall is shown in an artist's rendering. Construction on the project begins next month. Construction begins next month on an 80,000-square-foot addition to Learned Hall, a plan that originated from a sketch that Locke found when he came to the University of Kansas. "It surprises me that the campus didn't hear me yell when it came through." Locke said about the construction bid. The building, which will connect to Learned to the south by a second-story walkway, will add about 50,000 square feet of usable space to the existing 120,000 square feet in Learned. When he came to the University 16 years ago, Locke found a sketch of a wing to be added on the east end of Learned Hall in a file. At that time, a faculty committee decided that Learned Hall needed more room, and a state-funded addition was planned. But with the remodeling of Joseph R. Pearson Hall, Murphy Hall and Budig Hall, progress stalled. Locke said he then decided to pursue private funding. Atterseven years of fund raising, ground-breaking is set for February. Construction is expected to be completed in June 2003. Chris Hullman, an aerospace engineering student, said the new addition would be an improvement. "The school works now, but with the new equipment and classrooms, it will be a lot better," said Hullman, a St. John freshman. Contact Burhenn at mburhenn@kansan.com.

Some energy bars fall short By Maggie Koerth Kansan staff writer When Destine Maxwell buys an energy bar, she checks the label to make sure the bar has the right amounts of protein and carbohydrates. But the Kansas City, Kan. sophomore may not be getting the right information. According to a recent study by the White Plains, N.Y., testing firm ConsumerLab.com, many energy bars misrepresent the amounts of saturated fat, sodium and carbohydrates they contain. The firm found that of 30 bars purchased last May, 60 percent did not live up to claims on the wrapper. According to the firm, some wrappers claimed to have lower amounts of carbohydrates or different amounts of nutrients than actually contained. According to the Consumer- Lab Web site, energy bars have different amounts of proteins, carbohydrates and nutrients depending on whether they indicate they could be used for diets, as meal replacements, nutritional supplements or combinations of those uses. Steve Fretwell, a vitamin assistant at the Community Mercantile Co-op, 901 Iowa, said it was important to buy the right kind of bar. The Merc sells 135 different types of energy bars, but the store doesn't keep track of the number sold. "A bar with too many carbs will put stress on your sugar maintenance system and will cause your body to store the excess sugar as fat," he said. Contact Koerth at kmoerth@kanasan.com.

SO NOW WE'RE BACK! NEW 2002 MODEL T Ford STAYSKAL TAMPA TRIBUTE 1/02 KNIGHT RIDDER TRIBUNE Cigarette tax: smokers should pay up or quit EDITORIAL Governor Bill Graves proposed a 65-cent per-pack tax increase on cigarettes in his State of the State address to the Legislature last week. With the state's current budget problem, the cigarette tax is an excellent way to generate the needed revenue and prevent cuts in public education, universities and social service programs. Smoking is not vital to survival. If a smoker cannot afford the tax increase, the smoker will pay it or quit. The result is a positive outcome either way. Kansans can only be so lucky if the Legislature passes this worthwhile proposal. Graves said Kansas increased cigarette taxes in 1986, and as a result of that increase, Kansas ranked 10th in the nation for cigarette taxes. Sixteen years later, Kansas ranks 35th, he said. Molly Mueller for the editorial board. The proposed 65-cent per-pack tax increase will rank Kansas seventh in the nation and produce $111 million per year. The bottom line is that the Legislature will have to pass some sort of a tax increase to keep Kansas operating, so why not pass the cigarette tax increase? Graves mentioned other possibilities to create revenue, such as a one-quarter cent increase in sales tax, a 1-cent increase in the motor fuel tax, and a 3 percent increase in car and truck registration fees. While these are acceptable possibilities, the cigarette tax proposal would be best. Smoking is not a necessity compared to groceries, which would be affected by an increase in sales tax. If smokers continue to purchase cigarettes, the state will benefit from the tax increase. If smokers cannot afford this tax increase, they need to quit smoking. Kansas loses 5,000 people to smoking-related illnesses every year. This tax proposal could be beneficial in ways beyond creating revenue for the state. Graves explained that national studies show increasing cigarette taxes reduces smoking by minors. Any step to prevent underage smoking is a positive one. According to the latest surveys, 26.1 percent of Kansas high school students smoke. If this tax increase could prohibit any underage smokers from smoking, then it is a beneficial tax increase. Because Kansas' budget is extremely tight, there isn't extra money for more anti-smoking programs for teens. Why not pass legislation that creates revenue and can help reduce smoking among minors? Another idea is to add alcohol into the proposed tax increase along with cigarettes. Like cigarettes, alcohol has many negative effects and is not essential to everyday life, unlike gas and groceries. Alcohol is more expensive, so raising the tax at a much lower rate is another possibility to generate revenue for the tight budget.

Source: Monterey Institute for International Studies and the Washington Post PERSPECTIVE MLK speech calls for Americans to end violence and chain of hate In a recent speech commemorating Martin Luther King Jr. Day, President Bush told the American people we should honor King by living by his principles and by fighting for those principles. The principle of King was one of nonviolence founded in a deep-rooted philosophy of love. As a nation, it is time we start living by the principles of King and stop fighting for them, because to do both is not possible. It sickens me to see our nation celebrate the legacy and ideals of a man so committed to justice and nonviolence while ravishing impoverished nations with bombs and occupying all corners of the globe with military might. GUEST COMMENTARY King wisely said, "Somewhere, somebody must have some sense. Men must see that force begets force, hate begets hate, toughness begets toughness. And it is all a descending spiral, ultimately ending in destruction for all and everybody. Somebody must have sense enough and morality enough to cut off the chain of hate and the chain of evil in the universe. And you do that by love." Ana Moraes Thomas Fawcett opinion@kansan.com Now, I'm aware that some people will not like you, not because of something you have done to them, but they just won't like you. They're going to dislike you, not because of something you've done to them, but because of various jealous reactions and other reactions that are so prevalent in human nature. But after admitting this, we must realize that an individual might dislike us because of our personality or something we've done in the past — but it was that something that aroused the hate within the individual. This is true in our international struggle. Democracy is the greatest form of government to my mind that man has ever conceived, but it hasn't been perfect. We've taken necessities from the masses to give luxuries to the classes and trampled over individuals and races with the iron feet of oppression. Our Western powers have perpetrated colonialism and imperialism. We must face the fact that the deep rumblings of discontent in Asia and Africa are at bottom a revolt against the imperialism and colonialism perpetuated by Western civilization all these many years. I'm convinced King would urge us to recognize we are not perfect — that America has been the source of a great deal of suffering around the world. And he would urge us to be that someone with some sense — to recognize that force begets force, hate begets hate, toughness begets toughness. We must cut off the chain of hate.

You play for the No. 2 team in the nation, Drew. Have some class. I just broke up with my boyfriend and I'm looking for comfort in the arms of another man. I'm accepting applications, commitments not necessary. Thanks. I think the communications department here at KU really sucks, and they need to offer a lot more classes to students, because obviously when they're overflowing with 50 or more students for each class there's a problem. Something needs to be done. Would all the man-whores please report to hell. I can't believe they'll let an announcer on national TV call our player Dwight Gooden twice in one game. Pay college athletes, you mean in addition to the free tuition, free housing, and free meals and $250 a month? Great idea. Since Kirk Hinrich looks like the little boy in the Hyundai commercial that says, "Zoom zoom," I think that whenever he makes a good play all the students should say "Zoom zoom." Come on, it would be funny. Does anyone else agree that the best play of the KU- Iowa State basketball game was when Drew Gooden spiked the ball at the end? I thought that was pretty funny. PERSPECTIVE Enron a good lesson for ignorant optimists Optimism, that most American of traits, once again showed its dangerous side with the collapse of Enron last month. If the recent economic woes did not check the hectic growth of marketization, then the current debacle should give pause to people who invest their money with high hopes and an improper understanding of their investments. The stockholders and average employees are not criminals. The real thugs are the head brass who unloaded their stocks while continuing to encourage their employees to invest in Enron. Company employees lost more than $1 billion as a result of the sudden drop in Enron stock (The current value of one share is now roughly equal to that of a ping pong ball). C. E.O. Kenneth Lay and his cohorts deserve prison sentences; their dishonesty cost employees more money than any junkie, bank robber or Tony Soprano could ever steal. The accounting firm of Arthur Andersen, the supposed check on Enron, discovered that it was more cost effective to shred documents than to expose its client's tricks. Luckily, so far it does not appear that the White House or U.S. government had any nefarious dealings with the influential "Kenny Boy" during the last desperate months of his tenure at Enron. Of course partisans on both sides, the highest echelons of the Justice Department and the entire city of Houston have had to recuse themselves from any impending investigation. COMMENTARY But the corporate heads and corrupt accountants aren't the only ones to blame for the losses faced by many Enron employees. These employees are also at fault. For those workers who relied too heavily on those company stocks that once seemed destined to break the $100-per-share mark, their poor investing has spoiled their plans for the future. Bradley E. Freedman opinion@kansan.com It was bound to happen. The gung-ho spirit of the '90s created a country in which more than half of all Americans owned stocks. MSNBC is casual viewing for 20-somethings. Another word being thrown around was "diversification," the COMMENTARY best way to achieve positive gains in the long run. But Americans are not fond of "in the long run." Thus, the investors whose portfolios relied on Enron were wiped out. For employees who tried to plan for the long run but overloaded their retirement plans with Enron stock, the result is devastating. The Enron fiasco should give pause to anyone who is out to get rich quickly or has a portfolio without understanding it. Ignorance is no excuse in the market. It will not get your money back once it is lost. Stockholders have the right to insist on fair play from companies, and the government has the right to ensure honesty and transparency. But the government does not have the obligation to protect people from themselves, or to limit people's 401(k) options, as some Democratic senators are beginning to suggest. Most of us are not Kenneth Lay. Most of us are the future 401(k)ers who will work hard for our money. We enter the market as optimists and with good intentions. But the collapse of Enron has taught a lesson that the realists already know: Optimism can be a virtue, especially when trying to climb out of a hole. Realists anticipate the holes before they arise, and they study ways to avoid those inevitable pitfalls. You needn't be an economics major to be a smart, realistic investor. You just need patience and an understanding of American market capitalism. For students, the warnings of Enron offer the chance to avoid the errors that are now affecting real people who made costly mistakes with the best intentions.

MONDAY, JAN. 28, 2002 NEWS THEUNIVERSITYDAILYKANSAN • 5A Ellsworth Hall to close for building renovations With the building shuttered until 2003. 350 could lose rooms By Mike Gilligan Kansan staff writer Miranda Feagan was at the Department of Student Housing in Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall at 8:30 a.m. Jan. 22 with her intent-to-return card. She wasn't even the first student there. Feagan lives in Ellsworth Hall, a residence hall that will not be open next year because of building renovations. It will reopen in August 2003. "There were people there at 7:40 a.m." Feagan said. Students who live in residence halls and want to return next year must turn in their intent-to-return cards by Friday, Feb. 15. Students can indicate on the card where they want to live on campus next year. "Jan. 22 was the first day to turn in the cards," Feagan said. "I wanted to be there early so I have a better chance at getting a spot." Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said the renovations at Ellsworth would reduce the beds available at residence halls by about 450. That means about 350 students who return their intent-to-return cards late may not be able to live in residence halls. After incoming freshmen, students who want to return to their current rooms get the next preference, followed by students living at Ellsworth. Stoner said renovations would take place because the building showed signs of age. "It will be brought up to the place it needs to be to meet student preferences," he said. Jason Flay, Vernon Center, N.Y., freshman, said he had a few complaints about the building. "The bathrooms are in poor shape," he said. "The walls are cracking and the paint is peeling in places." Flay also mentioned cracks in the rooms and chips in the wood on doors. He said he planned to move off campus next year instead of living in a residence hall again. According to the Office of University Relations, the new hall will contain suites, similar to those in Lewis and Templin Summary What happened? Ellsworth Hall will be closed for the 2002-2003 academic year for renovations. What it means: There will be 450 fewer beds available in residence halls next year. Incoming freshmen will be given first priority, followed by students wishing to return to their current rooms and then Elsworth residents. What next: Students now living in residence halls who want to return next year have to fill out an intent-to-return card and bring it to the Department of Student Housing in Corbin Hall. The deadline for turning in the cards is Friday, Feb. 15. halls. "I think a lot of people like the suite style that they have at Templin better," Feagan said. The renovations are scheduled to begin May 20. mgilligan@kansan.com. This story was edited by Brandon Stinnett. Committee backs slim Kansas budget The Associated Press TOPEKA — A Senate committee spared public schools but approved spending cuts in higher education and social services to help resolve the state's budget problems. On a 6-4 vote Friday, the Ways and Means Committee endorsed a bill to cut the current $4.5 billion state budget by about $54 million. Its authors also want to freeze spending during the budget year that begins July 1, but that won't be resolved until May. Higher education spending would be cut $8.5 million. Social services and most other parts of the budget would be cut 2 percent across the board. Originally, the bill called for deeper cuts, but the committee amended it to restore $23.7 million for elementary and secondary schools. The committee action did not come without a cost. The bill would leave the state about $62 million short of balancing the budget for fiscal 2003. Legislators would have to increase taxes or find more spending cuts. But Republicans who supported the bill said legislators had to start moving toward a solution. "We've got to get something moving," said Sen. Nick Jordan, R-Shawnee. "The longer we wait, the longer this process becomes." Eight of the committee's 11 members are Republicans, who cast all the yes votes. Democrats suggested the committee did not review the budget sufficiently and said the panel should have waited until discussions on possible tax increases had started. "I'm concerned with the haste and the lack of hard work we've put into this," said Sen. Jim Barone, D-Frontenac. The bill originally included an immediate cut in state aid to public schools of $39 per student, to $3,851. Education officials complained, and some legislators expressed a reluctance to cut school spending. The state faces a $426 million gap between projected revenues and spending commitments for fiscal 2003. The estimate for the budget gap does not take into account bad news the state received Friday. The Kansas Supreme Court ruled against the Department of Revenue in a corporate income tax dispute with Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Co., of Houston, and the state could owe $26 million. Gov. Bill Graves has proposed $228 million in cigarette, sales and motor fuels tax and vehicle registration fee increases. He opposes cuts in the current budget.

Associated Press HALSTEAD — What's 1,132 feet tall and three football fields in diameter, contains 200 million pounds of wax and would cost nearly a billion dollars? A giant candle, of course. Steve Cloyd wants to build the monument to American history, titled "America's Light of Freedom," on 500 acres near this central Kansas town. Kansas, he said, is the perfect place. It's in the middle of the country and has flat, solid land without any of the clutter skyscrapers give his hometown of New York City. He heaps the candle, with an 80-foot wick and an eternal flame 60 feet high, will be built with donations from citizens and corporations. Cloyd said companies already have given him about $250,000, which has gone toward travel and planning expenses. Cloyd said he found Halstead on the Internet and contacted Chamber of Commerce member LaDawna Friesen. She invited Cloyd, his wife Debbie, and their twin 16-year-old sons Kevin and Kyle, to this town of 2,000 people about three months ago. "I have no concern about money," he said. "I think people will come forward and help build this." "Right now it's a big dream, but it's very exciting," Friesen said. "It would do Kansas great." County officials, among others are not so sure the glassencased candle fits into the region's long-term plans. "Obviously this would require a zoning change," said Rod Compton, Harvey County Planning and Zoning director. "You're talking about an area where there's essentially nothing but farmland. This big proposal could totally alter the area forever." "I will never say anything is impossible," Compton said. "I would have to say probably that it would be a struggle to obtain, at the very least." Mayor joins race for governor The Associated Press TOPEKA — Wichita Mayor Bob Knight confirmed Saturday he is running for governor, transforming a Republican race billed as a contest between the party's feuding moderate and conservative wings. Knight, mayor of Wichita for more than 10 years, joined Attorney General Carla Stovall and State Treasurer Tim Shallenburger in seeking the GOP nomination. statements suggesting he was to enter the race. It left Republicans speculating how his decision affected the race. There was no consensus. Resources Inc. to lower Wichita's electric rates so they be closer to rates in Northeast Kansas. Some northeast Kansas officials said the only way to do that would be to raise rates in their part of the state. Republican Gov. Bill Graves, re-elected in 1998, cannot seek a third consecutive term under the Kansas Constitution. The presumed Democratic nominee for governor is Insurance Commissioner Kathleen Sebelius. Knight's announcement came after a month of public The biggest issue Knight faces are his recent efforts to convince state and federal regulators to force Western Knight said he was not concerned about electric rates becoming an issue in a statewide race. Knight said he expected to make a formal announcement of his candidacy within a few weeks. He also said his campaign expects to raise $750,000. MONDAY, JAN. 28, 2002 Churches vote to allow gay clergy The Associated Press Presbyterians in Missouri and Kansas have approved a change to the denomination's constitution that could allow gays and lesbians to be ordained as ministers, elders or deacons. Pastors and lay members from the Heartland Presbytery's 112 Missouri and Kansas congregations voted 150-39 Saturday to approve the measure, which would allow the denomination's local districts to decide whom they will ordain. The measure also removes wording from the constitution requiring that people in church office either marry a member of the opposite sex or abstain from sex altogether. Heartland Presbytery is one of 173 such districts of the Presbyterian Church considering the amendment. Before it would take effect, a majority of the districts, called presbyteries, would have to give their approval this year. The denomination's General Assembly voted in June 317-208 in favor of the change. However, as of Friday, most of the presbyteries across the country that have considered the amendment have defeated it. The official church tally is eight presbyteries in favor of the measure and 33 against. ment say it's the best way for members with conflicting views to live peacefully within the denomination. Supporters of the amend- "The time has come for us to realize that we must come to some kind of compromise if there is to be any kind of peace and mission productivity in our church," said the Rev. Robert Meneilly, pastor emeritus of Village Presbyterian Church in Prairie Village. "The proposed amendment has the potential of enabling us to live together." Opponents say the amendment gives in to political correctness at the expense of the Bible, which, they say, does not condone homosexuality. Student deaths high at K-State The Associated Press MANHATTAN—What some are calling freak accidents combined with the more typical car crashes to create an unusually lethal last year at Kansas State University. Fifteen students died in 2001. Although no official statistics are kept on student deaths, that's about twice the typical number, said Scott Jones, assistant dean of student life. "Thank goodness this year is so exceptional," Jon Wefold, university president, said. "Hopefully it will never happen again." With a student population of about 20,000, some loss is expected, Jones said. Student body president Kyle Barker said it "all comes down to a bunch of freak accidents." One student's body was found last month, and two more are missing and presumed dead after a boating accident at Tuttle Creek Lake. By all accounts the young men were experienced sailors. The president of the university's skydiving club died June 16 in a parachutting accident in Sedgwick County. He had parachuted more than 250 times. Even some of the motor vehicle accidents, which Jones said cause most student deaths, were a little unusual last year. In July, Danette Gaitros, 22, died when she fell from the back of a moving utility vehicle while working on a maintenance crew at Kansas State. And there was the apparent suicide—one of two last year—when a student jumped from the eighth floor of Havmaker Hall April 8. The sheer number has taken its toll on students, Barker said. "It hurts every time, whether you know the person or not," Barker said. "I've seen the faces of students as we've gone through this year, and it's just one thing after another." international film series faat-kine 1.28.02 8pm Senegal, 2000 Directed by Ousmane Sembene A forty-year-old woman refuses to give into the stigma of unwed motherhood and climbs the ladder of success in a male dominated field.

'Black Hawk Down' holds top spot in weekend box office The No. 2 slot shaped up as a photo finish between Cuba Gooding Jr.'s canine comedy Snow Dogs and pop singer Mandy Moore's weepy teen romance A Walk to Remember, according to studio estimates yesterday. The Associated Press Disney estimated Snow Dogs grossed $13.6 million in its second weekend, while Warner Bros. estimated A Walk to Remember debuted with $13.57 million. LOS ANGELES — Moviegoers remain on combat alert. The frenzied military thriller Black Hawk Down held the top spot at the box office for a second straight weekend, taking in $18.2 million. "Mandy's certainly been a star in the recording studio and she's now a real deal moving on to the big screen," said Dan Fellman, head of distribution for Warner. According to Sunday estimates, the Richard Gere supernatural thriller The Mothman Prophecies made a debut at No. 4 with $11.8 million. The latest remake of The Count of Monte Cristo, starring Jim Caviezel and Guy Pearce, opened at No. 6 with $11.5 million. "Movie-goers are interested in all these films to some degree, Fresh off its success at the Golden Globes a week ago, A Beautiful Mind held well at No. 5 with $11.7 million, virtually unchanged from the previous weekend. and the demographics are just being split between all these movies,"said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Exhibitor Relations. After a limited debut in December to qualify for the Oscars, I Am Sam expanded to wider release and grossed $8.3 million, finishing at No.7. the weekend's other wide debut, the martial-arts spoof Kung Pow! Enter the Fist, opened at No.9 with $7.3 million. The top 12 movies grossed $115.3 million, up a whopping 56 percent from the same weekend a year ago, when the Super Bowl dampened movie-going. Studios expect a similarly slow time during next weekend's Super Bowl.

According to Adherents.com, a religious statistics website, there are over 6 million followers of Baha'i worldwide, yet the religion remains largely obscure. In fact, a survey taken by the U.S. Baha'i Information Center found that only 30 percent of Americans have heard of Baha'i. Justin Herrmann, Topeka senior, is used to people being confused by his religion. Herrmann was raised Baha'i and is currently the president of the KU Baha'i club. He said he thought few people had heard of Baha'i because of its relatively young age. "We're only about 150 years old and we have less than 1 percent of the world's population," Herrmann said. population. Baha'i began in what is now Iran when a man called The Bab announced the coming of a messenger of God. Nearly 20 years later, one of The Bab's followers, a man named Baha'u'llah, declared himself to be that messenger. that messenger. The key difference between Baha'i and other God/messenger religions is Baha'is believe Baha'a'ilah was not the final messenger from God but the latest in an ongoing series of messengers. This belief that God has revealed his word to many different people over many different time periods is called progressive revelation by Baha'is. Baha'is believe that all religions come from God, and they recognize prophets from a wide variety of religions. These include Moses, Jesus, Mohammad, Zoroaster, Krishna and Buddah. "Baha'is worship God, which we believe is the same God that Christians worship and is the same God that Jewish people worship. God is just God for everybody." Herrmann said. Baha'is also believe in the equality of the sexes and the races because, to them, all people are God's children. an people Because their beliefs conflicted with the spiritual dictates of Iran, Baha'is were often persecuted in that country. Justin Herrmann, Topeka senior and president of the KU Ba'hai group, meditates at last night's worship service. About 15 people attended the service at Ecumenical Christian Ministries. AARON LERNER/KANSAN Baha'i at a glance Ahdieh Khoshsabegheh, Lawrence senior, lived in Teheran, Iran, until about five years ago. Her parents are Baha'i and at the age of 15 she decided to become Baha'i herself. Khoshsabbeghheh's family never experienced dramatic persecution themselves Pronouncitation: Ba-hye Key Figures: The Bab (the Gate), the hand of the faith: Pronunciation: Ba-hve Baha'u'allah (the Glory of God), the prophet of God; Abdu'l-Baha (the servant of Baha'), Baha'u'llah's son and early Baha'i leader. Founding: 1844 in Persia (now Iran). Fundamental Beliefs: There is one God. All religions come from the same God. The harmony of science and religion. Equality of men and women. Equality of the races. Key Quote: "The Earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens" Baha'a'u'lah. More information: Lawrence Baha'a', 843-2703. her father spent only one night in jail because of his religion — but she said it was not uncommon for them to hear about it. about it. "I remember the government captured all the nine members of our national spiritual assembly," she said. "We still don't know what really happened to any of them." Baha'is in each country elect a spiritual assembly to lead their local church because they do not have clergy. In Iran, persecution differed greatly depending on the opinion of local government leaders. In some places, Khoshsabegheh said, Baha'is were not bothered at all. Elsewhere, they might be refused entrance to college, kidnapped or killed. Throughout all this, however, Khoshsabegheh said she and other Baha's tried to obey the government as much as they could without compromising their beliefs. This nonviolent response to persecution eventually lead the government to stop viewing them as much of a threat. "We just try to understand that these sort of things are going to happen," Khoshsabegheh said. The Iranian government also scaled back their persecution of Baha'i because the religion is very low-key. the rangers Kevin Hinegardner, Omaha junior, said Baha'i was characterized by a lack of pomp and circumstance. Instead, Baha'is are encouraged to focus on their own study of the writings of Baha'u'llah and other messengers. He said the community gathered Herrmann, the club president, said Lawrence Baha'is also hold a weekly prayer meeting on Sunday nights. together every 19 days to discuss business and spiritual matters at a gathering called Feast. Even major ceremonies, such as weddings, are kept simple. In order to marry, a Baha'i couple must recite a passage in the presence of several witnesses. The whole process takes less than 10 minutes. Becoming Baha'i is a little more difficult because it requires a great deal of study. "We are expected to read and study the Writings of Baha'u'lah before we make a decision," Hinegardner said. "The age or decision for children of Baha'is is usually 15." But the quiet, introspective nature of Baha'i may be one of the reasons few people have heard about it. Hinegardner said Baha'is aren't allowed to proselytize beyond teaching classes or putting ads in the paper. Khoshsabegheh said they weren't that concerned about conversion. "It is important to understand that we don't want the world to be Baha'i," Khoshsabegheh said. "We believe all religions are from God so conversion really isn't important. What is important is that you obey God and just look at the world as a unity and accept differences." Contact Koerth at mkoerth@kansan.com. This story was edited by Sarah Warren. RELATIONSHIPS CONTINUED FROM THE FRONT PAGE She said he went to Missouri to major in journalism, and she came to Kansas for architecture. "We are both really competitive and really love our schools," Fishback said. "A lot of my friends go to Mizzou as well, and they give me a hard time." Fishback said she once gave Stoll a T-shirt with the top ten reasons to attend Kansas. The number one reason was Missouri basketball wasn't as good as Kansas basketball. He refused to wear it, she said. "He'll find an article in the paper that compares the two schools or the basketball teams and if it says better things about Missouri then he'll send it to me," Fishback said. "He has a Jayhawk in his room and his roommates want to burn it." She said the rivalry caused competition between them, but it was a lot of fun. "One year when he came to the game here, he saw a girl that he went to school with, and she gave him a Missouri pompon," Fishback said. "He had the nerve to wave it around in the Kansas student section, and I thought KU fans were going to hurt him." Fishback said being female was probably the only thing that saved her in the Missouri student section. "I bought a Muck Fizzou T-shirt this year, because I know that I'll be safe wearing it here at Kansas," Fishback said. Micki Prinster, St. Charles, Mo., junior, started dating Jared Beucke, a junior who attends Missouri, five years ago in high school. She said he wanted to go to the game tonight but couldn't get tickets. "There is a little bit of rivalry between us during football, but basketball season gets really competitive," Prinster said. "My entire family has gone to Missouri, so Jared and everyone gang up on me at family functions." Printer said she went to the game at Missouri during her freshman year. "Jared made me wear a sweatshirt over my KU T-shirt while we walked to the game, because he was embarrassed to be with a Kansas fan." Printer said. "I took the sweatshirt off during the game and got heckled a little bit, but we lost so it wasn't too bad. I think if KU had won then it would have been a lot worse."

Evans had four compressed vertebrae and was released yesterday, a hospital representative said. Hein and Medling were treated and released Friday. Hein said he had a sprained ankle, cuts and bruises, and that Medling had similar injuries. Evans cannot walk yet and will have to be in a back brace for a month, he said. "I don't know if I'll skip class to make sure she gets around OK," Hein said. "I'm going to look out for her before I look out for myself." "I woke up and heard noise from the flames and things falling on the floor," Gader said. He met Evans, Hein and Medling outside. Matthew Gader, Topeka sophomore, escaped from his basement room without injury. The other residents, David Wolfe, Topeka sophomore, and Tom Fleming, Lawrence Free State High School student, were not in the house when the fire started. The dog was the only one who didn't escape. Sarah Cotton, Overland Park junior and Red Cross team leader, was called at 5:30 a.m. Friday to do a damage assessment and see that the victims had food, shelter and clothing. "For the first 48 hours, we take care of people's basic needs." Cotton said. "It doesn't matter if they have insurance or not. If they need a place to stay, we put them up." Cotton said all the residents received vouchers, which worked like gift certificates, from the Red Cross for clothing, and they all had somewhere to stay. Gader said he would stay with his brother for the rest of the semester. Hein said a friend of his girlfriend's had a room and would let him stay a while for free.

RIVALRY CONTINUED FROM THE FRONT PAGE Armitage said because there was no political resolution to the conflict, the rivalry continues. "Even today there is a spirit they don't acknowledge," she said. "The rivalry now is happily played out on the basketball court where it was once played out with guns and rifles." Blair Kerkhoff, who wrote a biography on former basketball coach Phog Allen, said although the history between the states was an underlying factor in early KU-Missouri football match ups. Quantrill was never discussed in pregame pep talks. Instead, Allen told his players about Tommy Johnson, a KU football player who died from an injury sustained in a game against Missouri. "Phog was such a motivator, he used the story of Tommy Johnson to motivate his team in the early 1920s," Kerkhoff said. "Memorial Stadium was built in memory of Tommy Johnson." Kerkhoff said the rivalry was strongest in 1923 when Allen declared he would quit if the Jayhawks did not win the Big 6 conference title. Missouri had dominated the conference in the past, either winning the title or tying with Kansas. The rivalry was not strong again until the 1950s. "There was a game played in 1951," Kerkhoff said. "Clyde Lovellette stepped on a MU player, stomped right on the guy's chest." Steven Jansen, KU professor of history, said the current rivalry relates to the personalities in the game, not to the history between the states. The history has become just a backdrop for sporting events, he said. Phog Allen recruited Norm Stewart as a player because he thought Stewart would be a great coach, Jansen said. Current Missouri coach Quin Snyder was recruited by former KU coach Larry Brown, but Snyder chose Duke University instead. "Most KU fans would have a hard time believing that," Jansen said. "When Larry tried to get Quin and he went to Duke, it made some fans feel that Kansas was number two to Duke." Jansen said the rivalry between the current coaches also keeps the school rivalry going strong because both were assistant coaches and played for rival Atlantic Coast Conference basketball universities, Duke and the University of North Carolina. "Snyder played for Coach K. and Duke, and Williams came from UNC," Jansen said. "It is like the ACC rivalry coming to the Big 12." Although the history between the states many not be the driving force behind the current rivalry, all agree it is still the origin of the KU-Missouri hatred. "It is definitely the root of the more recent rivalry." Flader said. "This rivalry feeds the generations." Contact Tims at jtims@kansan.com. This story was edited by Laurie Harrison.

It's assumed that motivation for a collegiate athlete, especially a Div. I basketball player, is an innate quality. No goading, begging or pleading should be necessary. Coaches demand 100 percent from their athletes, and anything less is unsatisfactory. No one doubts the capabilities of Quin Snyder's talented squad. Kareem Rush is a national player-of-the-year candidate. The future lottery pick is built like a giraffe, but has the moves of a cheetah. Clarence Gilbert has endless range. Watch for him to deposit a few threes from somewhere around Eudora tonight. Wesley Stokes, despite the shaggy mop on his head, directs the Tiger offense with lightning speed. Rickey Paulding seemingly defies the laws of gravity. Big men Arthur Johnson and Travon Bryant got quicker and slimmer this year. Well, somewhat slim, at least. Well, as the 15-5 Missouri basketball team has exemplified this season, that assumption is about as valid these days as a freshman's fake ID. Snyder is attempting to control a twoheaded monster with his Tigers. Some games (like the nine contests in the Tigers' unbeaten start), Missouri's motivation was never in question. Missouri played hard day in and day out. The Tigers' No. 2 ranking was deserved. The talent is all there. That's not a worry. It's Missouri's heart that is absent at times. Missouri has appeared unstoppable this season and has seemed downright scary at times. It's those other times where Snyder's problems begin. Other games, the hustle wasn't there. The Tigers have looked as if they'd rather be getting teeth pulled than playing basketball. Rush wasn't hustling on defense, Gilbert jacked up treys from 25 feet out with three men in his face and Johnson couldn't even run up and down the court at full speed. The Tigers got the job done against Kansas State on Saturday, but their contentedness and lackadaisical play (as Rush put it after the game) allowed the Wildcats to remain as close as seven points with three minutes to play. Snyder is obviously confused about how to treat his unpredictable Tigers. One day he's proudly praising a team that truly has championship potential. The next day, he's openly and immaturely scolding his players, like they're 10-year-olds, for taking dumb shots or not hustling or not playing defense or not showing up for games on the road. His collective group of Tigers is the Randy Moss of college basketball, and the first half of the season proved it. They play when they feel like it. Which brings us to tonight. Kansas-Missouri. The border war. The hatred. The rivalry. If there was cause for motivation, Missouri needs not look further than Kansas. Sadly, I used to believe Missouri could enter this game on a 20-game losing streak and still compete. I used to believe the rivalry outweighed any other factor, including how the team's played leading up to the game. This year, I'm just not convinced. The Tigers could show up motivated, and prove me to be naive. Or they could prove me right by going through the motions and leaving Lawrence with a simple double-digit defeat. It all rests upon which head of the Tiger monster shows up tonight. Malashock is an Omaha, Neb., junior majoring in journalism. Kansas vs. Missouri Game Time: 8 p.m. Place: Allen Fieldhouse TV: ESPN (cable channel 48) Radio: 105.9 FM KLZR; 90.7 FM JHK; 1320 AM KLWN FILE PHOTO MONDAY, JANUARY 28. 2002 Gooden eager to tangle with Tigers' top player By Doug Pacey Kansan sportswriter KANSAS 10 Preseason polls don't carry a lot of importance with Roy Williams and Drew Gooden. To them, the predictions released in mid-October have as much use as an air conditioner does to an Eskimo in January. "I've never put one second of emphasis on anything termed preseason because it's all predictions," Williams said. "I don't think players look at it that much either. What they do is you get really enthused in your preseason and it's just another article." Williams might be right. No one has ever won a ring or shiny trophy for getting a preseason award. Missouri's Kareem Rush was named the Big 12 Conference preseason Player of the Year by the coaches and media, but his name probably won't top the ballots in March. Kirk Hinrich, junior guard, wrestles for the ball in a previous game with Missouri. The Jayhawks take on the Tigers at 8 tonight in Allen Fieldhouse. Looking at the statistics of Big 12 players, Drew Gooden's name will probably be engraved on that trophy. Kansas' junior forward has been the Big 12 player of the week four out of eight times,has 15 double-doubles and is first in the Conference with a 20.6 points-per-game average. Rush is having a good season, too, 19.4 points per game, but it hasn't been as eye-popping as Gooden's. "People asked me in the beginning of the year what I thought about (Rush) being preseason player of the year," Gooden said. "I said, 'What I think is if it says preseason, you still have to play the season.'" The Big 12's two best players will get a chance to try and one-up each other tonight when No. 2 Kansas (17-2 over SEE BASKETBALL PAGE 8B Kansas battles to defeat Texas A&M By Doug Pacey Kansan sportswriter COLLEGE STATION, Texas Drew Gooden's jersey had some noticeable alterations after Saturday's 86-74 victory against Texas A&M. The collar, which usually lies flat against his chest and shoulders, was stretched out. Tiny spots of blood speckled his jersey. Gooden caught an elbow in his mouth that cut the inside of his cheek. Thirty-two minutes of pushing and shoving with the Aggies left him with a jersey that may have earned a spot in the far reaches of Kansas' equipment closet. The Jayhawks started the second half with a 23-12 streak. Sophomore swinger Bryant Nash made back-to-back baskets, including his first career three-pointer, which gave Kansas its biggest lead of the game, 66-43. No. 2 Kansas (17-2 overall, 6-0 Big 12 Conference) was pestered early by the Aggies (8-12 overall, 2-4 Big 12), but went on a 10-1 run over the last 3:30 in the first half on its way to a 43-31 halftime lead. But jerseys can be replaced — that contract with Nike has got to be worth something — and a victory is a victory, especially when it comes on the road. "（Texas A&M）just beat Texas at Texas and they made a bunch of shots against them and they make a bunch of shots against us in the second half." Williams said. "I wasn't as pleased as I'd like to be by any means with the turnovers." Texas A&M didn't go away. It forged an 11-2 run over a two-minute time span and closed the deficit to 76-62 before Jeff Boschee stopped the Aggies' run with his only threepointer of the game.

Border war extends to teams' fans By Brent Wasko Kansan sportswriter For some fans, the Kansas-Missouri basketball game is more than a just a rivalry — negative feelings about the opposition run deep. "I don't like them much at all," former Jayhawk play-by-play announcer Tom Hedrick said of Missouri. "Let me just put it this way. If Missouri was playing the Russians, I'd be chanting 'Come on big red.'" Hedrick thought it was more important to Missouri fans for their school to beat Kansas than vice versa. He said that led some Tiger fans to act inappropriately. "I remember after a Kansas-Missouri game, my wife, who was pregnant at the time, was wearing a KU corsage," he said. "A Tiger fan that was mad about the game and had been drinking took a whisky bottle and started running after her." Former Missouri student body president Mark Bresnahan disagreed with Hedrick. He said he rarely witnessed a Tiger fan treat a Jayhawk fan with disrespect, but Kansas fans could sometimes be vicious. Last winter, Bresnahan sat in the Kansas student section during the contest between the two schools at Allen Fieldhouse. "I have never been treated so bad in my life," he said. "I feared I'd receive bodily harm. People threw ice cubes at me, spit on me and ripped my shirt. The usher claimed not to see it. It was a very hostile environment." Hutchinson junior Frank Shipley said he didn't support hostility toward Tiger fans in Allen Fieldhouse, but he understood why Bresnahan might have been harassed. Kansas senior center Jeff Carey's father, Ray, played at Missouri from 1960-1964. He said the Kansas-Missouri rivalry had grown since he competed as a Tiger. "We don't like them and we don't want them here," Shipley said while camping in Allen Fieldhouse for the game. "We want the Fieldhouse filled with blue shirts." "Both schools have had more success, which has let the fans get more into it," Rav Carey said. Kansas alumnus Tracy Taylor, a basketball season ticket holder for 17 years, said fans had more intense feelings about the rivalry the closer they lived to the Kansas City metro area. "I didn't understand the Missouri thing when I lived in Western Kansas," Taylor said. "I grew up thinking Kansas State was our rival, but when I moved to Kansas City, I learned to dislike Missouri." Kansas renews its rivalry with Missouri at 8 tonight at Allen Fieldhouse. Contact Wasko at bwasko@kansan.com. This story was edited by Justin Guenley. Senior swimmer overcomes injuries By Ali Brox Kansan sportswriter Carolyn Horwitz, one of four seniors on the swimming and diving team, has had more than her share of injuries in her four-year swimming career at Kansas. But she has overcome them all and is looking to have her best season yet—as a healthy senior. "She's had several surgeries done on her elbows," coach Cathy Burgess said. "And this is the first season where she's been able to train at full capacity." Horwitz, from Auburn, Ind., started swimming when she was 5 years old and was swimming competitively by age 10. The mother of another swimmer on her club team had heard Kansas had a good swimming program, so Horwitz eventually made a visit to the Lawrence campus. "I took a trip out here, and I really liked the campus" Horwitz said.

Horwitz's first setback came her freshman year when she had elbow surgery. She would have elbow surgery again her junior year. Then she broke her hand. "It's just been hard to keep in the groove of things when you're injured one month, and then you try to get back into it," Horwitz said. "I guess the thing I've had to get most used to is going from ground zero to trying to just work up."

LOUIS — The St. Louis Rams can be held down for just so long before Kurt Warner, Marshall Faulk and Isaac Bruce take over. When they did, in the second half of the NFC championship game, the Rams earned their second trip to the Super Bowl in three years. S Their 29-24 victory yesterday over the Philadelphia Eagles sent the Rams to New Orleans to meet the surprising New England Patriots. Two years ago, St. Louis beat Tennessee for its first Super Bowl title. But in the second half, Warner, the league's MVP; Faulk, a three-time Offensive Player of the Year; and Bruce, Warner's favorite receiver, were too much for the Eagles. too hard for the Rams turned the game around by dominating the clock and scoring 10 points in the third quarter. They ran 22 of the 28 plays in the period, getting Jeff Wilkins' third field goal, a 41-yarder, and Faulk's one-yard touchdown run. The trip south didn't look likely early in the game as the Eagles' stingy defense kept the Rams off-balance and Philadelphia took a 17-13 lead at halftime. With his helmet ripped off on the play, Faulk fell It was a powerful display by the Rams, who forced eight turnovers the previous week against the Green Bay Packers, returning three interceptions for touchdowns. There were no such big plays against Donovan McNabb, but St. Louis was unyielding for much of the second half. McNabb did lead Philadelphia 48 yards and run for a three-yard touchdown with 2:56 to go. After forcing a punt, the Eagles had one last comeback try, but All-Pro cornerback Aeneas Williams got his sixth career playoff interception. Faulk set a career playoff high with 159 yards rushing—his 84 at halftime was a personal mark and Bruce had eight receptions for 84 yards and a touchdown. They did so against a defense that didn't allow more than 21 points all season and led the league in red-zone efficiency. McNabb was effective at times but had little chance in the decisive third quarter as his blocking fell apart. He finished 18-for-30 for 171 yards and ran for only 26 yards — his fewest in these playoffs. Bledsoe fills in as quarterback, pushes Patriots to Super Bowl The Associated Press PITTSBURGH - It's nice to have a $100 million backup quarterback. Drew Bledsoe replaced an injured Tom Brady and led the New England Patriots to the Super Bowl with a 24-17 upset over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC championship game yesterday. It wasn't a perfect performance by the man who lost his job to Brady after being injured Sept. 23 in the season's second game. And Bledsoe got plenty of help from Troy Brown, who returned a punt 55 yards for a touchdown and was the middle man on a 60-yard return of a blocked field goal that put New England ahead 21-3 early in the third quarter. But Bledsoe still did what few backups could do in a championship game: He threw 11 yards to David Patten for a touchdown shortly after Brady injured his left leg late in the first half, put the New England, which went from 5-11 in 2000 to 11-5 this regular season, heads to its third Super Bowl, in New Orleans next Sunday. The Patriots also went in 1986 and 1997, losing both times. Patriots in position for Adam Vinatieri's fourth-quarter field goal and allowed New England to hold the ball enough to avoid constant pressure late in the game. also went in POC to Bledsoe, 10-of-21 for 102 yards, got a lot of help from some old-timers, like Willie McGinest and Ted Johnson, who helped shut down Pittsburgh's running game. Steelers running back Jerome Bettis, who returned after being out eight weeks with a groin injury, carried nine times for 8 yards, forcing Kordell Stewart to try to carry the team. Stewart was 24-of-42 for 255 yards but also threw three interceptions, two in the last three minutes — by Tebucky Jones and Lawyer Milloy that helped seal the Patriots' victory.

K-State won the meet with 277 points and Missouri was third with 218. The combined totals of the men and women determined team scores. Freshman Kim Clark led a strong performance by the women sprinters, winning the 600-yard run in a personal best 1 minute, 25.69 seconds and anchoring the 4x400-meter relay to a meet-record time of 3:48.38. In that race, Clark went out too fast early and faded in the last lap. Clark, in only her second attempt at the 600, tucked behind K-State's Nicole Grose until the last straightaway, then ran around her for the win. "She learned from the mistake," Redwine said. "I said to her, 'Just follow. Wait as late as you possibly can before you make your move.'" "That was what the game plan was supposed to be when I ran this race here in December," Clark said. coach Stanley Redwine said. "We had a lot of people do well and we will continue working hard and getting better." In the 4x400 relay, freshman Brooklyn Hann had to leave the triple jump competition, change from a jersey and shorts to a uni- body suit to match her teammates, and hurry to the starting blocks for the start of the race. She went straight to the lead and the Jayhawks never looked back. Soptomore Vadim Gvozdetskiy, jumping with a new, longer pole this week, leapt to a NCAA provisional-qualifying mark of 17 3/4. "I wasn't expecting to go very fast with it." Gvozdetsky said of his runway approach with the new pole. "I was kind of surprised I felt that good." The sophomore from Krasnodar, Russia, said he was starting to feel comfortable with the training at Kansas, especially since assistant coach Brian Ferry came with the new staff last season. Other winners for the Jayhawks included: Robbie Harriford, 200, 25.21 seconds; Stacy Keller, 400, 57.44; Jennie Wonder, 60-meter waddles, with a kansan.com Read an expanded version of this story.

Instead, WNBA stars Tameka Dixon and Lynn Pride sat on the sideline as the 'Hawks lost 73-48 to Oklahoma State. The Cowgirls (11-9, 3-4 Big 12 Conference) handed Kansas (5-16, 0-8) its eighth straight loss and extended the longest losing streak in school history. The Jayhawks shot 34 percent from the floor and were outmuscled on the boards the entire game. "They were much more physical than we were, and we just weren't able to respond," Kansas coach Marian Washington said. Foul trouble plagued Kansas guard K.C. Hilgenkamp throughout the contest. "It hurt that K.C. wasn't out there, that's for sure," Washington said. "For her to get three quick fouls is unusual. I thought that maybe she was just pushing too hard." After picking up her third fowl with 9:00 left in the first, Hilgenkamp sat on the bench as her team dug itself into a 40-25 halftime deficit. OW 3 Washington hoped to jump-start the Jayhawks' offense in the second half by leaving her seniors on the bench. Seldom-used freshman Valerie Migicovsky joined sophomores Leila Menguc and Sharonne Spencer in starting the half. Freshmen Blair Waltz, who returned to the Jayhawks after a foot injury, and Chelsea Thompson rounded out the lineup. "I've got to let these young players play now; we're just at that point," Washington said. "They're going to be the ones that will be a part of the future and I've got to make sure they get a chance to play." Kansas' youngsters missed the first seven shots of the half, and the 'Hawks did not score until senior center Nikki White finished a three-point play five minutes into the half. White ended with a season-high 15 points, along with six rebounds in 24 minutes. "I really appreciate my teammates." White said. "They really look for me more on the inside and I focused on finishing no matter what." Washington said she was impressed by White's play. "She's real consistent whether she's playing great basketball or she's just having to be there to encourage," said Washington of her center. "I thought Nik really worked hard to carry us as much as she could." CHRISTINA NEFF/KANSAN Kansas center Nikki White pushes through Oklahoma State's forward Tari Cummings during Kansas' 73-48 loss Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse. White lead the team with 15 points and six rebounds. Contact Scott at jscott@kansan.com. This story was edited by Brandon Stinnett. Reserve guard gives lift to team By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter four three-pointers in her last two games MANHATTAN Katie Hannon finally has her chance to shine. After spending her first three seasons as a reserve, the senior guard cracked the starting lineup, providing scoring punch to a team desperately needing it. Hannon scored a career-high eight points in the Jayhawk's 72-59 loss to Kansas State last night. She made her first career start last Saturday at Nebraska, finishing with six points on 2-of-3 shooting from three-point range. She sunk I trink my strong suit is the three-point shot," Hannon said. "Being 6-2, people don't really expect that out of me, and at the beginning, they tend to give it up to me." With freshman guard Blair Waltz sidelined with a stress fracture in her right foot, Hannon has assumed the duties as one of the Jayhawks' key outside threats. Kansas (5-15 overall, 0-7 in Big 12 Conference play) has been plagued by shooting trouble all season long, making Hannon's role even more important. "I feel more part of the team," Hannon said. "I've been more of a support role before Blair got hurt. While she's trying to heal her foot, I'm getting more significant playing time." Hannon, a Rochester, N.Y., native, saw action in 13 contests, and averages 2.7 points and 1.6 rebounds per game. Coach Marian Washington said that Hannon's outside presence was crucial in the Jayhawks' strong performance at K-State. "We don't have Blair with us, and Katie has stepped up and really played well for us on the offensive end," Washington said. Contact Wood at rwood@kansan.com. This story was edited by Brooke Hesler. SWIMMING CONTINUED FROM 1B have my best accomplishments," Horwitz said. "All four years I've kind of had little problems, and I'd just like for it to end like I've overcome all that stuff." Horwitz is looking forward to the senior meet against Arkansas on Saturday, where her parents, Barb and Ken, will be watching. Although the question of how fast she could have been without the injuries may linger in her mind, Hor- witz is just happy knowing she has made it to her senior season. "Right now, the biggest thing that I think I'd be most proud of is that I've finished," Horwitz said. "Because she's had surgeries and problems in the past three years, this year has been amazing," Burgess said. "She's been through almost everything and now she's having a blast, and I think the future is wide open for her." Contact Brox at abrox@kansan.com. This story was edited by Molly Gise. BASKETBALL CONTINUED FROM 1B att, 6-0 Big 12) faces No. 18 Missouri (15-5, 5-2) at 8 p.m. in Allen Fieldhouse. The game will be nationally televised by ESPN, and 21 NBA scouts—a typical game at Kansas draws about five—will be at the game. Rush thought about leaving Mizzou after last season — he averaged 21.1 points per game his sophomore year — but decided to stay for at least one more season. NBA scouts said Rush would've been a top pick if he had gone pro and Williams agreed. "I honestly felt if he had gone out last year he would have been one of the top 10 guys drafted," he said. Gooden said the Jayhawks would need to bring their A-game tonight. "We need to have one of those days where we play the best basketball we can possibly play," he said. "When it comes to Missouri, we have to put everything together." Contact Pacey at dpceye@kansan.com. This story was edited by Eve Lamborn. Kareem Rush was the preseason pick for Big 12 player of the Year by the media and coaches, but he might not top the ballots at the end of the season.

The Missourian who led a raid on Lawrence in 1863 that left the town a heaping pile of smoking rubble with more than 200 residents dead would have been embarrassed to be associated with the Missouri Tigers, who suffered a 105-73 beating at the hands of the Kansas Jayhawks last night at Allen Fieldhouse. And beating is a nice term for Kansas' win. "Ass-kicking? Is that what you wanted to say?" junior guard Drew Gooden said about the game. "I knew what this team was capable of doing and we did that in the second half. If we came out here and 10 Drew Gooden played to our ability I knew deep down inside that we would win this game. Win by 30 or win by two, a win is a win, but it's sure good to get a win like this." Second-ranked Kansas (18-2 overall, 7-0 in the Big 12 Conference) led by one, 43-42 at halftime, but pulled off a 25-5 run in the first 6:24 of the second-half for an overwhelming 68-47 advantage and never looked back. There would be no late Tiger run. Sure, Missouri somehow found a way to sneak a 9-1 streak in there, but Kirk Hinrich kept hitting the three-pointers, Jeff Boschee found Gooden for an alley-oop lay-in and even sophomore swingman Bryant Nash buried a three-pointer. Five Jayhawks finished in doublefigures en route to the second-biggest margin of victory against the No. 22 Tigers (15-6 overall, 5-3 Big 12) Lawrence. Gooden led all players with 26 points and pulled down 10 rebounds for his 16th double-double of the season and Kirk Hinrich had 23 on 4-of-5 three-point shooting. As a team, Kansas shot a seasonhigh 61.9 percent, while the Tigers made just 40.3 percent. "They just came out and put it to us," Mizzou senior guard Clarence Gilbert said. "To put a Missouri jersey on should mean something. We just can't lose by 30 points." Give credit to Kirk Hinrich, Aaron Miles, Jeff Boschee and Keith Langford. Where they faltered on the perimeter in the first-half and allowed the Tigers to hit 8-of-15 three-pointers, the quartet limited Missouri sharp-shooters Clarence Gilbert and Kareem Rush to nine second-half points and the Tigers made just two of 13 three-pointers. Hinrich shadowed Rush's every move on the defense. He chased him around screens, put his palm on the crown of Rush's head to steady himself and held Rush, the Big 12 preseason player of the year, to just 13 points, six below his average. KANSAS 4 3 KANSAS "I had a big-time challenge guarding Kareem Rush," Hinrich said. "You can't not play well against him." After the game, coach Roy.Williams said he was ecstatic about the win and enjoyed the caliber of his team's play, but he cautioned against too much excitement. "I told my wife before the game, 'Give me a one-point win and I'll be as happy as can be,'" Williams said. "I'm happier only because how well we played. You can mark it down, we-going to need 25 of those when we go to their place."

The Jayhawks defeated the Tigers 105-73. Symposium to celebrate and honor Kansas poet By Jim O'Malley Kansan senior staff writer Although African-American poet and writer Langston Hughes is most identified with Harlem, Kansas now claims him because he spent most of his childhood here. But when Hughes died in 1967, it was front page news in New York City, while his hometown, Lawrence, took little notice — just a one-inch story on page two of the local paper. M. ROBERTS Niccum, former The Mag editor, sits surrounded by past issues of the Lawrence Journal World's entertainment magazine. Niccum said The Mag would no longer be published because of financial reasons. Mark Scott, who earned his doctorate in history at the University of Kansas in the 1970s and 1980s, wrote one of the first scholarly articles about Hughes' Kansas roots in 1980. Maryemma Graham, professor of English, teaches African-American literature at KU and is one of the organizers of the Langston Hughes centennial symposium planned for Thurs, Feb. 7, to Sun, Feb. 10 "When I found out that Hughes grew up in Lawrence, Kan., and one one had done anything on it, I couldn't believe it," he said. "In this part of the country, the racial climate in places like Lawrence kept his importance as a poet unrecognized, especially because he was a poet who addressed racial issues." Graham said. KIMBERLY THOMPSON/KANSAN 'Journal World'cancels weekly entertainment magazine SEE HUGHES ON PAGE 6A By Lauren Beatty Kansan staff writer Thursday's Lawrence Journal World may feel lighter to some readers because The Mag, the Journal World's weekly entertainment section, will no longer be published. "It's really simple. It's economics," he said. "It was a very expensive product to put out. It had double the press run of the normal paper. The bottom line is they couldn't sell it." Jon Nicum, the section's former editor, said The Mag folded because it could not earn enough revenue to sustain itself. The Mag had been published by the Journal-World since about 1996. Nicum said. It started as an arts-focused tabloid with articles pulled from The Associated Press wire service. The Mag then became known in the Lawrence area for its in-depth coverage of local music, its political columns and its calendar of entertainment events in the area. Niccum said The Mag enjoyed high readership, but Ralph Gage, general manager of the World Company, said that was not the case. The World Company owns the Journal-World. "It never found an audience," Gage said. "After a year of giving it a good effort, we decided we would go a different route." "They did everything we asked them to do," Gage said. "It's not their fault, we just couldn't find the advertising." Gage said the efforts of the editors and writers on The Mag staff were not to blame. The Mag was also distributed in Friday editions of the University Daily Kansan, which is printed by the Journal-World. In 2001, Nicum left the Kansas City, Mo., based Pitch Weekly and was hired as editor of the section. He said he decided to change the focus of The Mag to boost the Lawrence music scene. "When they hired me, I had just left the Pitch, and I really wanted to turn it into a more cutting-edge, alternative weekly, so that's what we did." Niccum said. The Mag's six staff writers have been laid off. Niccum will remain at SEE THE MAG ON PAGE 3A Budget cuts could put a crunch on hours at Robinson By Meredith Carr Kansan staff writer Robinson Center could be open fewer hours next year if the state of Kansas implements proposed budget cuts. Angela Lumpkin, dean of education, said the school was examining reducing the hours at Robinson as one way to cut spending. Kansas faces a projected $426 million budget shortfall for the new fiscal year beginning in July. As a result, the legislature has proposed budget cuts for state programs and the state university system. "This is a possibility if there were to be permanent budget cuts for the next fiscal year," Lumpkin said. "There are no plans to cut any hours for Robinson during this fiscal year." Laura Jones, Canton, Ill. junior, said she had only worked out at Robinson once this year because of overcrowding. "The hours are restricted as it is, and it will be worse if they're shortened. I can't find time with work, and when I do, I end up waiting for machines." Jones said. Other possible implications of the budget cuts in the School of Education include teer student jobs, fewer classes offered, less classroom equipment, and fewer graduate student teaching opportunities, Lumpkin said. Administrators in other schools also expect to face difficult cuts. Students who enrolled in School of Education "There are no plans to cut any hours for Robinson during this fiscal year." Angela Lumpkin Dean of education classes in the department of health, sports and exercise science would also be affected by shortened hours. Tom Tonkin, Carbondale, Penn. sophomore, said the basketball courts at Robinson were already too crowded. "I'm taking basketball as a class, so I am guaranteed time to play." Tonkin can. Mary Chappell, director of recreation services, said state dollars through the School of Education and the student recreation and fitness center fee paid for Robinson. "The state dollars pay for things like security personnel," she said. "The campus fee pays for student hourlies." Every semester, each student pays a $62 fee to fund Robinson, the Burge Union fitness center, Anschutz Sports Pavilion, the KU Fit program and the construction of the new student recreation and fitness center. Lumpkin said the student fee money would continue to pay Robinson's student security workers. Chappell said that if Robinson reduced its hours, the money saved would be placed in a reserve fund.

Bell is accused of helping Cornelius Oliver in the Dec. 6 killings that left the four youths dead in a Wichita house. The state claims Bell aided Oliver by taking a gun into the house. Oliver initially confessed to police that he later used that second gun to finish the shootings when his own pistol jammed. Oliver later changed his story and blamed Bell for the shooting Bell, 22, is charged with premeditated first-degree murder under a Kansas law concerning aiding and abetting.

Student senators handed out the fliers to basketball fans outside Allen Fieldhouse last night. Student senators distributed approximately 8,000 handbills to students, parents and KU supporters arriving at last night's KU-MU basketball game. The handbills provided statistical information about the state's proposed tuition increases and contact information for state legislators. Justin Mills, student body president, said he thought the handbill project was successful. "We're getting a lot of questions," Mills said. "We want people to know why the situation happened—because there's no funding from the state. We want the legislature to know that the students care." Sens. Dave Kerr, R-Hutchinson, and Steve Morris, R-Hugoton, co-sponsored a plan to balance the budget through spending cuts, including cuts in financing for higher education. The handbill asked Kansans to contact Kerr and Morris to tell them "to preserve the future quality of our education and the value of a KU degree by funding the University's budget request." Kerr called the handbills "good, old-fashioned student activity." He said he was also concerned about tuition increases. "As the parent of two KU students, I take any proposal to increase tuition very seriously." Kerr said. Deval Parekh, Lawrence junior, thought the handbills were a good way to inform students but was not sure the message would get through. "It depends on how much students care, but hopefully they will make a difference." he said. Parents attending last night's game also received the handbills. Theresa Maxwell, Shawnee resident and mother of a freshman student, said she thought the mass-marketing approach was a good way to spread the students' perspectives. "A lot of people have a chance to see how students feel about tuition going up," she said. "If some of these people were camping here for weeks, and they take a couple of minutes to listen in the middle of all this frenzy, it shows that students are incredibly concerned." Eric Snider, CLAS senator, distributed the handbills to the crowd. He said the students he talked with were very interested in the material on the handbills. Contact kill at shill@kansan.com.

Lawrence gains Bath and Body Works By Melissa Shuman Kansan staff writer Students no longer have to go to Kansas City or Topeka to find name-brand Bath and Body Works products. Bath and Body Works sells high-end fragrances, lotions and soaps. Store manager Kathy Schembs said the reason Bath and Body Works product prices are higher than the prices of similar products found at other retail stores was because they are selling the experience, not just the product. A new Bath and Body Works store will add to the collection of national chain stores in south Lawrence. The store was built at the Pine Ridge Plaza, 3102 Iowa, space #105. Other stores in Pine Center Plaza include Old Navy, Famous Footwear, Kohl's and Kmart. "That's why we don't sell online. We're not about the bottom dollar," she said. Diane La Gesse, consultant for Bath and Body Works, said she prefers working at a Bath and Body Works store instead of other chain stores, because it is quieter and less physically demanding. "I like working here, because it has a better atmosphere," she said. "This place makes you feel better." Jesica Berger, Chicago senior, said she would enjoy shopping at the new store. "I think it will save me a trip to Overland Park," Berger said. Bath and Body Works may help to attract business to Lawrence from Kansas City and Topeka. The Lawrence store is the 16th Bath and Body Works in Kansas. Lawrence was the one place between Topeka and Kansas City that did not have a store. There are 1,442 locations nationwide. Bath and Body Works executives are looking to place stores outside their traditional mall locations. Schembs said working in Lawrence's new location was preferable for her because it wasn't in an enclosed mall. "Being in a strip mall is better because you know they're coming in for Bath and Body Works," said Schembs. "They're not just looking around as they would in a mall."

He said the Journal-World would run entertainment news in its Thursday and Friday editions. Assistant Mag Editor Geoff Harkness said he easily found other work and would be writing for the Pitch and other publications. Harkness, a Lawrence graduate student, will also concentrate on finishing his degree this semester. "It's sad to see The Mag go," Harkness said. "We really liked it and worked on it real hard. But at the same time, all good things must come to an end." Andrew Miller, the Pitch's music editor, said he was happy a writer like Harkness would be joining the staff. "I feel he's got a good grasp on the Lawrence music scene," Miller said. "He'll keep us on the pulse of Lawrence." Another Mag writer, Seth Jones, a former University Daily Kansan columnist, continued his popular "Out of Bounds" column in The Mag after graduation from the KU. He said he was disappointed by The Mag's folding. "I enjoyed having that creative outlet," Jones said. "I feel it's another loss of an entertaining thing in Lawrence and this seems to be a trend. I'm officially bummed." "It's kind of sad." Hansen said. "It let you know what was going on in the music scene. No other paper goes indepth enough. There's really not any other place with thorough information." Maggie Hansen, Council Bluffs, Iowa, sophomore, said she read The Magevery other week and would miss it. Students still have a way to find out about the Lawrence music scene. Pitch Weekly reaches much of the same audience and has been very successful, said C.J. Janovy, Pitch editor. She said the Pitch came Niccum said he agreed. He said there was no other place to find the same kind of information. "The Pitch has been successful because it is an extremely well-managed company in sales and management." Janovy said. "We know what we're doing." from an entire team of writers and advertisers. Janovy said the Pitch's coverage of the Lawrence scene would not change. "We cover quite a bit of it," Janovy said. "It's not where our entire distribution goes, but it is part of our regional entertainment and it's important to our readers." Contact Beaty at beaty@kansan.com. This story was edited by Angela Cox. Politically correct Bible to hit shelves in 2005 By Maggie Koerth Kansan staff writer Bible buyers will soon have a gender-neutral choice at the bookstore, but not everyone is happy with the addition. The International Bible Society announced yesterday that it will publish an updated version of its popular New International Version. The new translation, Today's New International Version, will feature the words "person" and "humankind" in place of many gender-specific references. David Green, Salina senior and president of Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, said he was hesitant about making changes to the Bible. "I understand how culturally we've lost the alternative meaning of 'man' as a reference to humanity in general," Green said. "But there are other places in the Bible where the distinction between men and women is important." This is the second time news of a gender-neutral translation has come to light. In 1997, The Bible Society halted work on a similar revision amid criticism from the Southern Baptist Convention and other conservative Christian groups. The Southern Baptist Convention has criticized the announcement on their news Web site, www.bpnews.net., saying the new gender-neutral version violated the agreement which resolved the earlier dispute. The agreement, called the Colorado Springs Guidelines, stipulated that gender-neutral wording could not be used if it diminished the accuracy of the translation. The Bible Society said it is not violating the agreement because Today's New International Version will not replace New International Version, but will be sold alongside it. Paul Mirecki, a religious studies professor, teaches a class called Understanding the Bible. He said the concept of updating Biblical language was a common one, but that conservative Christians often saw these updates as a threat to their understanding of the scriptures. However, he said that while new translations could go too far, it was important to update language to modern people could understand it. The TNIV New Testament will be available in April with the full Bible including Old Testament expected by 2005. - Contact Koerth at mkoehr@kansan.com. This story was edited by Andy Gassaway. Changes in Today's New International Version Gender wording changes - Example: In Matthew 5:9, "sons of God" becomes "children of God" and in Romans 3:28 "a man is justified by faith" has changed to "a person is justified by faith." More than 70 percent of the changes are non- gender related. Archaic language has been clarified, for example, "with child" has been replaced by "pregnant." The vocative "O" is no longer used. The Vocative *b* is no longer used. References to "the Jews" are more specific, such as "the Jewish leaders." Source: www.tniv.info Check out the "NEW" look! FATS LAWRENCEKS 1016 Mass.

Watching the Kansas Jayhawks play in Allen Fieldhouse is an opportunity to enjoy college greatness in action. Whether you listen to Max Falkenstein on the radio, watch the exciting games on ESPN or experience them first hand, Kansas basketball elevates the spirits of its fans. Students camp out three days in advance for optimum seating, yet for the past 17 years, we still have been placed behind the baskets and in the corners of the fieldhouse. Without the students, Kansas basketball as we know it would not exist. More court seating around the perimeter, especially in the middle, would boost school spirit. That is why the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation needs to listen to student who plead for a more encompassing student-seating plan in Allen Fieldhouse. At Duke home games, the court is surrounded by fanatical fans. It's tough to see the Kansas fans on TV. Besides, student sections are louder than alumni sections. The overall atmosphere of the games would be heightened if the Athletics Department would stop procrastinating and seriously consider the student body proposals. Off-campus student senator Matt Dwyer said that the department had been impressed with some of the proposals that found a compromise with the Athletics Department on seating arrangements. That might only mean that students would be granted the first eight rows up from the floor. It might even mean a modest increase in student ticket prices, but most students would probably pay a few dollars more for each game if it meant they could snag better seat. menus. The high-paying donors should definitely be considered and accommodated, but the time has come for a repositioning of seat allotment. Unfortunately, no compromises are being made. There is too much money and tradition blocking an incredible opportunity, for the sake of keeping a cheaper seating system. If you look at a Brazilian soccer game, the spirit is amazing, and most seating is on a first-come, first-serve basis, around the whole stadium. Kansas has one of the greatest arenas for fans, but it could be better. The Athletics Department should look at how fired up the students got last night against our rival, Missouri, and consider a proposal to allow students the chance to cheer on the Jayhawks with even more spirit, which will only come with a better view. Tim Lang for the editorial board. PERSPECTIVE 5 Scholarship competitions have benefits beyond money Spring 2002. For many, it is just another in a seemingly endless stream of college semesters. For some, it is the last chapter of an undergraduate journey that feels like it began a long time ago. And for a few, it is a time to begin competing for postgraduate scholarships. Although these competitions may seem daunting, they can be among the most rewarding experiences of your college career. But why should you compete? First, these competitions force you to assess your career goals. Having a dream is one thing, but being able to clearly articulate that dream to a total stranger is quite another. The latter task requires research, revision and refinement with the help of faculty mentors. Even if you don't win the scholarship, you still will have gained a degree of self-awareness that otherwise might have been put off indefinitely. Second, the assistance you receive from the faculty helps you build relationships with experts in your field who you may never have sought out before. This is also the case with the interviews that the honors department coordinates. Third, the other applicants you meet are wonderful people who you COMMENTARY might not have otherwise met. Robert Chamberlain opinion@kansan.com These people are witty, fun, smart folks who are likely to challenge you in a manner that forces you to become more effective at defending your interpretations of the world. Fourth, of course, is the possibility that you might win. Grades are important, but there is no reason to believe that you have to be an academic cyborg to be a qualified candidate. I won a Truman Scholarship with a 3.6 grade point average and became a Rhodes Scholarship finalist with a 3.7. There are many people at KU who have better GPA's than I do. So what is holding you back from applying? I can think of three hurdles that potential applicants might believe are insurmountable: grades, involvement and myths. Involvement is important, but you don't need to be involved in every club on campus. Leadership and innovative policymaking say a lot more about you than meaningless bullet points. During the interview process, a charismatic, dynamic candidate who can convey enthusiasm about every item on his or her résumé is much more likely to succeed in the long run. Put aside your inhibitions. Consider applying for a post-graduate scholarship. No matter what the outcome, I'm sure you will find the process rewarding and worth the effort. Finally, there may be the belief that a Rhodes Scholar or a Truman Scholar is some otherworldly being unlike the mere mortals who inhabit the world below. Nothing could be further from the truth. The people who win these scholarships have the same checked pasts, the same foibles and weaknesses, and the same peccadilloes that everyone else does. Just being yourself is the surest path to success in these competitions. Chamberlin is a Topeka senior in political science. KING HOLIDAY The editors of the Kansan contradict themselves. They stress the protection of all faiths while censoring one faith. I am a supporter of protecting the rights of all faiths, but not at the expense of destroying the rights of one faith. Dear editor. This editorial ("Monday events should educate, not preach," Jan. 18) would have you believe that the only important thing in King's life was racial segregation. On the contrary, if Martin Luther King Jr. were here today to defend himself, he would most definitely tell you that his life revolved around service to God. He was a pastor, founder of Southern Christian Leadership Conference and graduated with honors from Crozer Theological Seminary with a doctorate in systematic theology. We can not properly honor the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on this holiday without educating the city about his beliefs and what led him to protest segregation — the Christian foundations behind his beliefs, and the founding fathers of America's belief that all men are created equal. Robert Nevergall Olathe freshman LETTERS TO THE EDITOR SPIKED BASKETBALL I am a student at Iowa State University writing to complain about the events that unfolded Wednesday night at Hilton Coliseum while our two basketball teams butted heads. I'm writing to complain about the unsportsmanlike acts of the No. 2-ranked Kansas basketball team members, particularly Drew Gooden, who, as Dear editor. This was not the only act of taunting that Gooden displayed. During one dunk in the game, he decided to taunt the crowd and the players. These two acts of unsportsmanlike conduct may be small and menial to some, but when you are the No. 2-ranked team in the nation, there should be a little more respect shown to the team you are playing. We're struggling with our team, but I think we deserve respect for making it a close game and for showing that we came to play. Next time you feel like rubbing your little victory in, do it against Duke, or some other team that you will most likely face in the Final Four. Chris Haar the last second elapsed of a very long and hard fought game, slammed the ball on the court to go flying into the stands. Iowa State University senior ABORTION DEBATE Dear editor. There is a problem in the abortion debate; nothing seems to be changing. There are several stumbling blocks, but the issue at hand is that people are terribly inconsistent, and their well-intended falsities are portrayed by the media as the general consensus. The recent display of pro-life opinion by Bradley E. Freedman ("With progress, the U.S. can end abortion as we now know it," Jan. 25) falls well short of the mark. Thanks for speaking up and being pro-life, but if you're not going to do it right, then you will hurt the cause. As profilers, we have to practice what we preach, and the lines that cross the abortion issue have to connect every facet of our lifestyles. Abortion has rooted itself into the political, commercial, religious and especially the sexual elements of our society. The increased use of contraception, an imperfect practice of preventing pregnancies, has produced an immeasurable number of unwanted children, the victims of our legalized abortions. It is backwards to assert that the "morning-after pill," which also functions as an abortifacient, could actually be a blessing to the abortion debate. The last thing we need is to continue the trend of conceiving unwanted children through the irresponsible dependence upon contraception. I use "unwanted" with great caution, because it is not entirely true. A conceived child is always wanted. There were hundreds of thousands of pro-lifers marching in Washington, D.C., last Tuesday, and many of them are, or know of people, seeking adoptions. Mother Teresa used to plead with doctors in India to see children to term, rather than abort them. When they asked her who would step up to care for these "unwanted" babies, she volunteered herself. This is the depth of love at the core of the pro-life movement. The media has a journalistic responsibility to accurately portray the ideals of the pro-life movement. Being prolife is a way of life that naturally leads one to an anti-abortion stance.

TUESDAY,JAN.29,2002 STATE NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5A Lobbyists battle Graves tax plan The Associated Press TOPEKA — Some Republicans consider it the plan most likely to pass the Senate — if any tax increase will. But the Assessment and Taxation Committee heard plenty of criticism yesterday about raising tobacco and alcohol taxes from lobbyists for merchants and liquor industry groups. The proposal would raise $87 million during the state's 2003 fiscal year, which begins July 1. Its supporters hope the extra money would prevent a cut in aid to public schools. But opponents said the tax increases would hurt sales in grocery and convenience stores and even cost Kansas jobs in a slumping economy. the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States estimated that the state would lose $60 million in sales and 1,000 jobs because of the higher alcohol taxes. "Do not ask my industry to extract more taxes from its consumers until you have made every effort to ascertain whether those additional revenues are really required," said Tuck Duncan, lobbyist for the Kansas Wine and Spirits Wholesalers. Thomas Palace, lobbyist for convenience stores, said cigarettes account for almost a quarter of his members' gross sales and that increasing the cigarette tax could push consumers into neighboring states. Health advocates have rallied behind proposals to increase the cigarette tax, seeing it as a way to reduce smoking. The only testimony yesterday in favor of the tax bill came from the Kansas Alcohol and Drug Service Providers Association, which said increasing alcohol taxes would reduce consumption. "Do not ask my industry to extract more taxes from its consumers..." Tuck Duncan lobbyist Kansas Wine and Spirits Wholesalers Johntown "State liquor taxes have not been increased in years, and as the taxes are levied on quantity and not price, receipts have not kept place with inflation," lobbyist Dan Hermes said. Senate President Dave Kerr, R Hutchinson, is supporting the plan and has said it has a reasonable chance of passing. The proposal before the tax committee was drafted by Chairman David Corbin, R-Towanda, after conversations among GOP senators. Corbin's plan is an alternative to a proposal from Gov. Bill Graves, who wants to increase sales, cigarette and motor fuels taxes and vehicle registration fees to raise $228 million in fiscal 2003. The Corbin proposal would increase the cigarette tax by 35 cents a pack, making it 59 cents. Graves' plan contains a 65-cent increase. Corbin's hoped to vote quickly on the bill, but some senators wanted more time to consider other alternatives. Unlike Graves, Corbin proposed increasing both the wholesale tax on other tobacco products and taxes on alcoholic beverages. "There are other people who are looking at revenue generators," said Majority Leader Lana Oleen, R-Manhattan. The tobacco products tax would double, to 20 percent. The tax on a 12-pack of Budweiser retailing for $8.59 would increase about 15 cents. Museum site proposed at Clinton Lake The Associated Press LAWRENCE — A Lawrence historian thinks the area's past makes it the perfect location for a proposed national abolitionist movement museum. And the Army Corps of Engineers may have the land for it. Martha Parker, executive director of the Clinton Lake Museum, said she has begun talks with the corps about an inexpensive or even no-cost lease for 20 acres at Clinton Lake. "The feedback has been very positive," Parker said of the discussions. Parker said it would take awhile before an agreement was signed. The corps' operations manager at Clinton lake, Lew Ruona, said high-ranking corps officials have expressed project support, but they needed to make environmental and cultural assessments. "We understand that this land has more uses than just strictly camping and picnicking. We have opened it up to all types of recreation and learning, and this would expand on that." Ruona said. Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., proposed building a national-caliber abolitionist museum more than a year ago. Although no federal money has emerged for the project, Brownback said it would within a few years. Parker said the eastern Kansas panel hasn't endorsed a site. She began talking with the corps last summer under the belief that securing public land would give the Lawrence area an edge. Not that she thinks Douglas County needs any more advantage than its abolitionist past, she said. Parker said many of the 34 documented Underground Railroad sites in Douglas County are in the valley of the Wakarusa River, which feeds into the lake. The area surrounding the lake was considered by many blacks to be a safe haven before the Civil War, Parker said. "In this valley, you had two different races living together, farming together, fighting together, and when they died, they were buried together in an integrated cemetery at Clinton," Parker said. "I refuse to have any negative thoughts about it," Parker said. "I drive across the dam on a regular basis, and I can already see it now." Parker is hoping for a 2004 groundbreaking for the museum. No cost estimates have been formulated, but she is optimistic. WANTED! TANNERS AT SHARK'S SURF SHOP WE'VE JUST ADDED THE BEST 10 MINUTE TANNING BOOTHS $ CAN BUY. TRY THE 2M!

During a campus visit in 1965, he told students that, although he was born in Joplin, Mo., "I sort of claim to be a Kansan. My first memories are of Lawrence and the schools I went to — Pinckney and old Central. In fact, my first novel, Not Without Laughter, uses Lawrence as a background." In the 1930 novel, Hughes called the town Stanton and the main character Sandy Williams. He wrote in his autobiography, I Wonder as I Wander, that he made Sandy's family more typical of the black families he had known in Lawrence than his own had been. own had been. His parents were well-educated; his father was a lawyer and rancher in Mexico and his mother a newspaper woman and stenographer. A grand-uncle had been a congressman, and his grandmother's first husband had been killed in John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry. "We were poor but different," he wrote in The Big Sea. But Hughes drew on his own experiences growing up in racially segregated Lawrence on and off from 1902 to 1915 for the novel. A true Kansas classic, Not Without Laughter, begins with a 1911 Lawrence tornado. "I put in a real cyclone that had blown my grandmother's front porch away," he wrote in his first autobiography, The Big Sea. The Tornado Aunt Hager opened the front door, but before she or the child could move, a great roaring sound suddenly shook the world, and, with a deafening division of wood from wood, they saw their front porch rise into the air and go hurting off into space. Sailing high in the gathering darkness, the porch was soon lost to sight. "Good white folks, the Gavitts," Aunt Hager had often said, and now their large frame dwelling lay on its side like a doll's mansion, with broken furniture strewn carelessly on the wet lawn—and they were dead. — from "Storm," chapter 1, Not Without Laughter Elizabeth Schultz, a KU professor emerita of English who has written about Not Without Laughter, said the tornado's impartial destruction contrasted with the discrimination Sandy faced in Stanton. "A tornado affects us all," Schultz said. "A tornado doesn't make judgments about class or race." Not Without Laughter is more frank about the racism Hughes encountered in Kansas than is his autobiography, The Big Sea, Schultz wrote in the recently published Embattled Lawrence: Conflict and Community. Hughes based several scenes in the novel on his actual encounters with racial segregation or "Jim Crow," as the system was known. Jim Crow Row The roll was repeated, each child taking a seat as she had commanded. When all but four of the children were seated, the two colored girls and Sandy were still standing. "Albert Zwick," she said, and the last white child sat down in his place. "Nów," said the teacher, "you three colored children take the seats behind Albert"... Sandy felt like crying. And he was beginning to be ashamed of crying because he was no longer a small boy. But the teacher's putting the colored children in the back of the room made him feel like crying. — from "School," chapter 11, Not Without Laughter In the novel, Sandy was submissive. But Hughes' classmate John Taylor recalled to former KU student Paulette Sutton that when their seventh grade English teacher put the African-American kids in one row, Hughes protested. "He printed an awful lot of cards,' Jim Crow Row," Taylor told Sutton in a 1972 interview. "He passed them out, and we put 'em on our desks. He gave me a handful of 'em, and I threw 'em out the window so that they would blow all over the schoolyard advertising what was being done, and let people know what we were undergoing. "It caused quite a bit of commotion," Taylor recalled. "The principal came up, and they really got into a fight. Just a fist fight right there in the classroom. We were sent home to our parents." Their mothers returned with one of the town's few African-American doctors to argue their cause, Taylor said. The teacher and the two boys exchanged apologies, and they were let back into class. Taylor said the teacher, Ida Lyons, told Sutton that the black students had chosen to sit together "in the best seats in the house," but that Hughes began chanting "Miss Lyons got a Jim Crow Row." The "Jim Crow Row" wasn't Hughes' first memory of segregated education. He attended Pinckney Elementary School in Lawrence, which at the turn of the century had separate classes for African-American students. Many large Kansas cities had segregated school systems then. Protesting segregation was a family tradition. Hughes first attended school in Topeka, where he was assigned to an African-American school across the railroad tracks from his home instead of a white school nearby. His mother complained to the local school board and had him assigned to the white school. Segregated schools continued in Topeka until 1954, when the U.S. Supreme Court decided Brown vs. The Board of Education, in which the Topeka school board was the defendant. Merry-Go-Round In the summer a new amusement park opened in Stanton, the first of its kind in the city, with a merry-go-round, a shoot-the-shoots, a Ferris wheel, a dance-hall, and a bandstand for week-end concerts. In order to help popularize the park, which was far on the north edge of town, the Daily Leader announced, under its auspices, what was called a Free Children's Day Party open to all the readers of that paper who clipped the coupons published in each issue. On July 26 these coupons, presented at the gate, would entitle every child in Stanton to free admittance to the park, free popcorn, free lemonade, and one ride on each of the amusement attractions-the merry-go-round, the shoot-the-shoots, and the Ferris wheel...

They were lining up at the gate — laughing, merry, clean little white children, pushing and yelling and giggling amiably. Sandy let Willie-Mae go first and he got in line behind her. The band was playing gaily inside . . . They were almost to the entrance now... There were just two boys in front of them. Willie-Mae held out her black little hand clutching the coupons. They moved forward. The man looked down. "Sorry," he said, "This party's for white kids." Willie-Mae did not understand. She stood holding out the coupons, waiting for the tall white man to take them. "Stand back, you two," he said, looking at Sandy as well. "I told you little darkies this wasn't your party." Come on—next little girl." And the line of white children pushed past Willie-Mea and Sandy, going into the park. Stunned, the two dark ones drew aside. — from "Children's Day," chapter 18, Not Without Laughter A Children's Day Party took place in 1910 at Lawrence's Woodland Park, sponsored by the Lawrence Daily Journal. The paper printed "all children in the city" were invited and would receive free admission, a free show, and free refreshments. But two days before the event, the paper printed this notice: The journal has been asked if the colored children will be in attendance. The Journal knows the colored children have no desire to attend a social event of this kind and that they will not want to go. This is purely a social affair and of course everyone in town knows what that means. Many years later, Hughes wrote the poem "Merry-Go-Round," which he read to KU students in 1957 and 1965. “Merry-Go-Round” Where is the Jim Crow section On this merry-go-round, Mister, cause I want to ride? Down South where I come from White and colored Cannot sit side by side Down South on the train There's a Jim Crow car. On the bus we're put in the But there ain't no back To a merry-go-round! Where's the horse For a kid that's black? Schultz said reading the poem was the poet's way of "realizing the pain of being a black boy in a segregated town." Laughter But the real point of Not Without Laughter and of much of Hughes' poetry is that, despite bad experiences, life is good, Graham said. Hughes showed that "there was always a kernel of beauty, of love or humor," he said. "No matter how hard life is, there's always this humor, this vitality that's there." Schultz said that, like Hughes' poetry, the novel celebrated African-American music, dance, stories and language. Sandy learns from characters who sine Hughes describes Sandy's discovery that "jokes are often not really jokes at all, but rather unpleasant realities that hurt unless you can think of something equally funny and unpleasant to say in return." blues songs and spirituals, tell stories and use humor to cope. Hughes enjoyed a subversive sense of humor, Graham said. As with the phrase "Jim Crow Row," Hughes liked to undermine words to make readers hear them differently, she said. Hughes was often called "The Negro Poet Laureate," but he liked to call himself "The Poet Low-Rate," and "a literary sharecropper." At one of his visits to KU, he told students that, once he realized that magazines paid by the line for poetry, he broke his lines in two to double his pay. Hughes' "Simple"columns and stories, about his conversations in a bar with his fictional friend, Jesse B. Semple, are known for that subversive humor. In "Cracker Prayer," Semple gives his version of a white racist's prayer: "As You is my father, Lord, lead me not into black pastures, but deliver me from integration, for Thine is the power to make all men as white as snow. But I would still know a Nigra even though he were white, by the way he sings, also by certain other characteristics which I will not go into now because a prayer is no place to explain everything ..." Hughes told Mayfair magazine in 1958 that many of his readers thought Semple was real. One wrote him to say, "You ought to let Semple write your columns for you — he's got more sense than you." Graham said Hughes conveyed his messages by weaving blues, gospel and jazz music into his writing. He wrote his poetry to sound like black people's voices and their music. Good morning Daddy! Am I you near? The boogie-boogie rumble of a dream deferred? — from "Montage of a Dream Deferred" Graham said Hughes' innovative use of language had been properly recognized only since his death. Before that, he was Merry-Go-Round Where is the Jim Crow section On this merry-go-round, Mister, cause I want to ride? Down South where I come from White and colored Cannot sit side by side Down South on the train There's a Jim Crow car. On the bus we're put in the back — But there ain't no back To a merry-go-round! Where's the horse For a kid that's black? - Langston Hughes seen more as a popular poet and racial poet rather than a "literary figure," she said. But Hughes is still a "popular poet" amidst academic recognition. "He has a tremendous following in the international community," Graham said. And next week, his childhood home will pay its own tribute. Get Involved this story was edited by Sarah Smarsh and Jeremy Clarkson. Great Music Inspiring Message Free Lunch!

Ten seconds left on the clock, the home team trails by one. They'll need a huge shot right here. They get it into the hands of their go-to guy. He drives baseline. The shot is on its way...swish! The ball game is over. What a finish! We all know this scenario. It may not always be a buzzer-beater or even a game winner, but a good portion of basketball games end with someone taking the all-important, game-deciding shot. From peach baskets to break-away rims, no matter where or how the game is played,the final seconds of a tight game are always the most important and most exciting. LAURIE SISK/KANSAN While fans hang on the edge of their seats anxiously awaiting the final shot, the team that's trailing is coming up with a play to get their most reliable player a good opportunity to score. Inside a typical huddle, the coach explains who's going to get the ball. If Plan A is sealed off, perhaps there's a second option for who will take the big shot. Some teams may even have three players of equal value down the stretch, but usually there's only one Mr. Clutch. Now, let's go inside the Kansas huddle and see what coach Williams has to work with this year. As Roy gets out the dry-erase board and draws up the play he's likely staring at four McDonald's All-Americans and what could be the National Player of the Year. His options are anything but limited. As Roy decides which Jayhawk will get the ball, the opposing coaches in the other huddle are pulling out their hair, wondering who will try to beat them this time. Kansas junior guard Kirk Hinrich laughs it up with ESPN broadcaster Dick Vitale before last night's game with Missouri. Hinrich scored 23-points while holding Missouri's leading scorer Kareem Rush to just 13 points. "Will it be Kirk Hinrich, whom they cleared out for in the final seconds of the first half against Oklahoma? How about Jeff Boschee? He hit that huge shot up in Ames, and remember his freshman year at home against Colorado? That's true, but it has to be Drew Gooden. He's their leading scorer and has so many moves inside to free up an open look. Then again, maybe it's Nick Collison. After all, he hits more of his shots than anyone else." As Roy's boys break huddle, heads are still spinning on the other sideline. It's an advantage that few teams have and one that could pay huge dividends come tournament time when every game starts to get tight. With Boschee, who's already hit his share of game-winners, and three juniors—Collison, Gooden and Hinrich—who have poise beyond their years, Kansas is loaded when the game is on the line. Fans have every reason to be excited and opposing teams have plenty of reasons to be intimidated as this year Kansas has four players with both the experience and confidence to hit the big shot during crunch time. The fifth spot on the floor remains a bit of a concern, as freshmen Aaron Miles and Keith Langford are still working on their confidence and consistency. But Kansas still has three more options than most teams do when the game is on the line. As the season goes on and tournament time approaches, I think we'll see that fifth spot solidified with more savvy from both Miles and Langford. In the meantime though, relax and enjoy the ride. Let the other teams do the sweating, and take confidence in a lineup that's loaded with last-second weapons. I know Roy is. Hanni is a Topeka senior in journalism. Contact him at bhanni@kansan.com Hinrich's heroics THE FACE OF THE GAME KANSAS' JUNIOR GUARD MAY BE UNDERRATED NATIONALLY BUT FEW WILL FORGET HIS 23-POINT EFFORT LAST NIGHT Bv Brent Wasko Kansan sportswriter ESPN analyst Dick Vitale couldn't talk enough about Kansas guard Kirk Hinrich before the Jayhawks' 105-73 victory against Missouri last night at Allen Fieldhouse. "Don't you think he's the most underrated player in the country?" Vitale kept asking anyone who would listen in the media room before the game. "Don't you think he gets lost in the spotlight with Gooden and Collison on the team." Although Hinrich didn't hear what Vitale was saying about him, he played like he wanted to validate the famous broadcaster's comments. The junior scored a season-high 23 points against Missouri and held the Tigers' leading scorer, Kareem Rush, to just 13 points. "I thought I played one of my most complete games," Hinrich said. "I try not to listen to what other people are saying about me, but I guess what there are saying is a compliment." "Hinrich is unbelievable," he said. "Just the passion that he shows and the way that he plays is everything that you want out of a player. I really feel that he is the best player in the conference." Missouri coach Quin Snyder had nothing but compliments for Hinrich after the game. Hinrich stepped up big on Big Monday. His 23 points were just three shy of his career high. He drained 4-of-5 from behind the three-point line, made 8-of-11 from inside the arch and was a perfect 3-of-3 from the free-throw line. "I got really pumped up for this game," Hiarich said. "I had a big time challenge in front of me, and I wanted to show that I could beat it. I know how important this game is for our fans." Kansas junior forward Nick Collision said Hinrich's play as a point guard made a big difference against the Tigers. "I think his play helped get the game under control," Collision said of Hinrich's 13-point, 3-assist second-half showing. "When you have a player that is so strong handling the ball and can make plays like he does for us, it makes everyone else a little more sure of themselves." Hinrich said he was more pleased his play defensively against Missouri. He was assigned to guard Rush, the Big 12 Conference's Preseason Player of the Year. Rush, who averages 19.4 points per game, scored just 13 points. He made only 1-of-7 from outside, where he is typically most dangerous as a shooter.

He hoped his positioning and quickness would compensate for his lack of height compared to Rush. "I was just trying to make it tough on him," Hinrich said. "I was trying to limit his touches and make his work for every shot. I think I did a pretty decent job." Contact Wasko at bwasko@kansan.com. This story was edited by Sarah Warren. Kansas looks to end losing streak tonight By Jessica Scott Kansas sportswriter Practice has not made perfect for the Kansas women's basketball team so far this season. The Buffaloes are looking to continue their five-game winning streak while Kansas has the opportunity to snap the longest losing streak in school history. The Jayhawks (5-16, 0-8 Big 12 Conference) had only one home practice session before traveling to Boulder, Colo., yesterday to prepare for tonight's match up against Colorado (15-6, 5-3). "It's very difficult when you're not winning to come back every single game and try to break through," coach Marian Washington said. The effort the team has shown in practice has yet to translate into success on the court, according to Washington. "We work harder in practice than I saw us work out there today," Washington said after her team's 73-48 loss to Oklahoma State last week. "It's tough to win a lot of ball games when you can't get it from some of your key players." Senior guards K.C. Hilgenkamp and Selena Scott have been the Jayhawks' backbone for most of the season. This tandem has been Kansas' top two scorers in 15 of 21 games this season, yet inconsistency has plagued the pair recently. Scott has scored seven or fewer points in three of the last four games, while Hilgenkamp has reached double digits in two of the past five games. "There's a lot of frustration with all of them," Washington said. "They work hard in practice. They've just got to be able to put it on the floor." Senior center Nikki White said she shares her coaches' frustration. "We practice really well." White said. "We just need to learn how to carry it over." The Jayhawks continue to struggle defensively, particularly on the boards. Against Oklahoma State, Kansas had a considerable height advantage yet was out rebounded 48-26. The Cowgirls grabbed 20 offensive rebounds and scored 17 second-chance points. Kansas also had rebounding woes in its first meeting with the Buffaloes this season. In the 55-point defeat — one of the worst losses in Jayhawk history — the 'Hawks were out rebounded by the smaller Buffaloes, 49-27. Washington said the problem on the glass is something on which her team is still focusing. "It's really clear that we're just not hustling on the boards like we need to and it's not that we're not putting in the time," she said. "We work hard on it but these young players have got to put it in ball games." Contact Scott at jscott@kansan.com. This story was edited by Angela Cox. Kansas swimmer to finish career, come back in fall Ali Brox Kansan sportswriter Kirkham, a senior captain of the Kansas swimming and diving team, was looking for a sport to try after her ninth-grade volleyball season. She went out for swimming and was on the varsity team by her sophomore year. By her second year in college, Kirkham was swimming at the 2000 U.S. Olympic Trials in the 50-meter free, where she placed 48th out of 110 swimmers. If volleyball had been a year-round sport in high school, Carrie Kirkham might never have started swimming. "She's always been one of our top sprinters from the day she arrived," coach Cathy Burgess said. "And she's improved every year since she's been here. She's a leader in the pool and outside the pool." Kirkham, a native of Houston, visited both Texas A&M and Texas before deciding to come to Kansas. A coach for her Houston club team, The Fleet, had coached at Kansas and knew with the final home meet this Saturday at the Robinson natatorium, Sportswriter Ali Brox will be profiling each of the four senior woman's swimming and diving team members on different days this week. about the program. "Iliked what KU offered," Kirkham said. Kirkham's swimming career will end after this season, but she'll be back in Lawrence next fall to finish her exercise science degree. She has high expectations for her last season. First, there's the final home meet on Saturday against Arkansas. Then she'll face two more meets in Iowa to help prepare for the conference meet. Finally, she hopes that a relay team will qualify for NCAAs. "As a team we want to place better at conference and be able to race with the top teams," Kirkham said. Contact Bros at xbox@kansan.com.

Crab LAWRENCE 芭蕾学院 SCORPIO LIFE SAFETY Athletics A Expos announce schedule confidence in spring season NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE S 洗 The Associated Press MONTREAL — In a sign that contraction is dead for 2002, the Montreal Expos released their schedule yesterday and said they were confident of playing this season. Ever since baseball owners voted Nov. 6 to eliminate two teams, the Expos' status had been unclear. While owners didn't pick the franchises they wanted to fold, Montreal and Minnesota were the likely targets because of their low local revenue and their failure to obtain government financing for new ballparks. "We are confident that baseball will be back in Montreal in 2002 and I just want to express my sincere appreciation for our fans' patience and support during what has been a very trying offseason," Expos executive vice president David Samson said. The contraction plan has been stalled since Nov. 16, when a Minnesota judge issued an injunction that forces the Twins to honor their 2002 lease at the Metrodome. The Minnesota Court of Appeals upheld the injunction last week. The Expos were the last of the 30 major league teams to release their schedule. They also said yesterday they will install a new artificial surface at Olympic Stadium by the April 2 season opener against Florida. Montreal faces a staff turnover in the next few weeks. Expos owner Jeffrey Loria is negotiating a $158 million purchase of the Marlins from John Henry, who heads a group that already has been given approval to buy the Boston Red Sox for $660 million. Once he reaches an agreement to buy the Marlins, Loria is expected to sell the Expos' franchise back to the other 29 teams for $120 million. Lora is expected to take many top Expos' officials with him to Florida, including Samson, interim general manager Larry Beinfest and manager Jeff Torsborg. Montreal drew just 619,451 fans to Olympic Stadium last season, an average of 7,648 per home game, by far the lowest in the major leagues. Florida was 29th at 1.26 million, an average of 15.765. The commissioner's office will then appoint a chief executive officer to run the Expos this season. The Expos' had operating revenue of $34.2 million, last among the 30 major league teams. Minnesota was 20th at $56.3 million. New Jersey Devils coach fired after perennial power gets off to rough start The Associated Press WEST ORANGE, N.J. — Larry Robinson was fired as coach of the New Jersey Devils yesterday despite leading them to the 2000 Stanley Cup and within winning the title again last year. He was replaced by former Pittsburgh Penguins coach Kevin Constantine. His first game will be tonight against the New York Islanders. Constantine is a former coach of the San Jose Sharks. He was running a junior hockey program in Pittsburgh before his hiring by New Jersey. Robinson's dismissal comes after a 1-2-1 road trip that included losses to Atlanta and Tampa Bay. The Devils tied Minnesota 2-2 on Saturday. The Devils, perennially one of the NHL's strongest teams, are fourth in the Atlantic Division with a record of 21-20-7-3 and are 16 points behind first-place Philadelphia. They are in ninth place in the Eastern Confer Robinson was hired by the Devils on March 23, 2000, replacing Robbie Fforek with eight games left in the regular season. Robinson split those games before guiding the Devils to their second Stanley Cup championship, beating the Stars in six games. Last season, the Devils made the Stanley Cup final but lost to the Colorado Avalanche. ence, one spot out of a playoff position with 31 games left. The Devils have not won consecutive games since Jan.1. The Devils have made a habit in recent weeks of taking early leads and then giving them away. On Jan. 19, the Carolina Hurricanes rallied from a two-goal deficit to tie New Jersey 3-3 at home. Ken Hitchcock, another coach who led his team to two straight Stanley Cup finals, was fired three days earlier by the Dallas Stars. "This team needs a coach of Kevin's personality, structure, discipline and accountability," general manager Lou Lamoriello said.

BASEBALL Hall-of-famer Ted Williams remains in serious condition GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Ted Williams remained in serious condition yesterday at Shands Hospital, where the Hall of Famer was admitted last week. "He continues to respond well to care, is resting comfortably and is listed in serious but stable condition," the hospital said in a statement. Williams, 83, was admitted on Thursday with flu-like symptoms, including high temperature and below-normal blood pressure. The former Boston Red Sox star, the last player to hit .400 for a season, has had a series of strokes and congestive heart failure, and he requires daily kidney dialysis. He had open-heart surgery in January 2001, two months after receiving a pacemaker. Williams, who spent his entire 19-year career with the Red Sox, has lived in Florida since retiring in 1960. His home is about 50 miles southwest of Gainesville. OLYMPICS U.S. aerials champion leaves Olympic team with hurt foot Aerialist Jeret "Speedy" Peterson was added to the U.S. Olympic team yesterday to replace injured Emily Cook. Cook, the defending U.S. aerials champion, withdrew Friday after doctors determined she wouldn't be able to compete in the Games because of an injury to her right foot.

The Buffaloes (15-6 overall, 5-3 in Big 12 Conference) are arguably the Big 12's hottest team. They have won five games in a row, including an 86-73 upset victory over No. 16 Iowa State on Jan. 23. "We've hit that roll where we feel comfortable with each other," Colorado guard Jenny Roulier said. "Our team chemistry is just awesome." In the midst of their hot streak, the Buffaloes trounced Kansas (5-16, 0-8) in Lawrence on Jan. 16, 70-35. In that game, Colorado reserve guard Katie Fagan scored a game-high 16 points on 4-of-8 three-point shooting. "Colorado has been a pretty consistent ball club," Kansas coach Marian Washington said. "They have some really consistent scorers, so that really opened up our defense a lot. Their perimeter players just broke us down." "We've hit that roll where we feel comfortable with each other. Our team chemistry is just awesome." CeaL Barry Colorado coach Senior guard Mandy Nightingale leads the Colorado offensive attack, averaging 14.9 points per game. Roulier and center Tera Bjorklund also average over 10 points a game. Still, Buffalo coach Ceal Barry said the team's defense has been the bright spot during its recent winning streak. "We're primarily a man-to-man team," she said. "We just go out there and work as hard as we can." Colorado last played Saturday, defeating Missouri 78-56 behind a 23-point effort from Loulier. "My teammates were setting me up really well, and the opportunity just presented itself," Roulier said following the game. "We have a really unselfish team." Washington said the Jayhawks' lack of talent, which has hurt them all season, created holes in game plans against tough teams like Colorado. "We have to be a team that decides what it is that we're going to give up, and take some chances," she said. "I'll probably look at the tapes and determine where it is we're going to put our emphasis on, and go with it." Contact Wood at twored@kansan.com. This story was edited by Brandon Stinnett. WINGTAIL 11 WINCHESTER KANSAN FILE PHOTO Kansas senior guard K.C. Hilgenkamp drives past a Oklahoma State defender. Kansas takes on Colorado tonight. Spring semester raises GPAs of athletes, students Kansan sportswriter By Ali Brox The spring semester brings spring fever, spring break, graduation and better grades. That last item doesn't seem to coincide with the other three, but University of Kansas athletes do perform better in the classroom during the spring semester, according to the Athletics Department. The department recently released the team grade point averages for the varsity sports. The average GPA for student athletes during Fall 2001 was 2.83. In comparison, the average for Spring 2001 was 2.86. Similarly, the Spring 2000 average for student-athletes, 2.82, was higher than the 2.79 average for Fall 2000. Team averages are counted for both semesters, whether or not the team is in season. Rob Catloth, Kansas rowing coach, said his team performed better in the classroom during the spring semester. "We always do better in season," Catloth said. "Sometimes by as much as a tenth of a point. Our number of 4.0s always goes up in the spring, too." Catloth's theory on why his athletes do better in the classroom while in season is that the added pressure forces students to buckle down and organize their time. "When you're in season, you know you have 20 hours (of practice) a week and big races coming up on the weekend," Catloth said. "You have to keep track of the books because you have more time restraints. It's kind of like when you have limited time, you have to use it more effectively." Those time restraints extend through the whole semester for the men's golf, softball, baseball, rowing, and track and field teams, which compete until the end of the school year and during finals week. Jennifer Jackson, Tuscaloosa, Ala., senior, and former women's basketball player, said she agreed that it was harder to manage her time without the constraints of playing a sport. "I think it's harder to keep up your GPA when you're not in a sport," Jackson said. "When I was an athlete, my time was so structured, as opposed to this year when I get out of class and feel as if I have all this time to get things done. I've wasted a lot more time this year." Annie Syed, Shawnee senior, said she thought spring break and the upcoming summer vacation made the difference in classroom performance. "Spring break seems different than winter break, even though winter break is longer," Syed said. "Spring break happens at the perfect time of the semester. I feel like I'm crossing the hump after spring break, and then I only have a month left until I'm done. Then I have three months off for the summer. Spring and summer break are a motivation to be done. By spring break, it's as if I can see the finish line." Note: Meanwhile, according to the University of Kansas profiles, the Fall 2001 semester average for all undergraduates on the Lawrence campus was 2.95, while last spring's average was 2.99. Again, the Spring 2000 average for all undergraduates, 2.95, was higher than the Fall 2000 average of 2.92. Contact Brox at abrox@kansan.com. This story was edited by Anne Mergenmeier.

I NEED TO COME UP WITH BETTER THREATS. I NEED TO COME UP WITH BETTER THREATS. 'Malcolm' nabs prime post-Bowl spot The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Think you know football? So who won the SuperBowl in 1996? 1998? 2001? The answers, in order, are Friends, 3rd Rock From the Sun and Survivor II: The Australian Outback — series that received the prized postgame spot and enviable audience spillover. Because the Super Bowl provides television's single biggest predictable audience, playing piggyback with the quarterbacks can mean extra ratings yardage for a show. The debut episode of Survivor II, for example, aired after last year's Super Bowl and ended up scoring as the most popular entertainment program of the 2000-01 season. "This is one you don't want to waste. It's golden ammunition," said industry analyst Larry Gerbrandt of Kagan World Media. Fox, home of the Super Bowl on Sunday, has anointed as the game's beneficiary Malcolm in the Middle, the sitcom about a genius kid (Frankie Muniz) and his endearing loopy family. A one-hour episode — with a mud-wrestling match between series star Jane Kaczmarek and Susan Sarandon among the highlights — will follow the New England Patriots-St. Louis Rams game (at approximately 10 p.m. EST). How did Fox make the call? Several factors tipped the contest toward Malcolm. The network wanted to showcase a program that dovetail with a Super Bowl that — like many post-Sept. 11 events — will have a distinctly patriotic tone. Expectations for Malcolm go beyond a one-time ratings pump. Expanding the Malcolm audience through Super Bowl exposure is the goal of Fox and the sitcom's creator and executive producer, Linwood Boomer. The comedy does well among the advertiser-favored young demographic, but the numbers slap among older viewers. For the prime-time season so far, it's No. 1 among teen-agers (tied with The Simpsons), but is ninth among viewers age 18-34 viewers and 16th among those 18-49. Of course, nothing is sure in the TV game, especially for an unproven player. For instance, NBC premiered Homicide after the 1993 Super Bowl. The gritty crime drama scored a healthy 17.9 rating and 31 share of audience. After that, in its regular time slot, Homicide went on to finish 99th for the season. This year, as beftis's proximity to a sports extravaganza, Malcolm is pulling out the stops. Besides Sarandon, other drop-in celebrities include model Heidi Klum, basketball great Magic Johnson and Bradley Whitford of The West Wing (Kaczmarek's real-life husband). Analyst Gerbrandt cautioned that Malcolm's big play could end up fumbled. "The fear is it's a blowout game ... What you want is a seesaw game, decided at the final second, so people hang around for the show."

The purpose of the Ad-Hoc Committee on University Funding is to meet with the administration and inform the students and faculty on the proposed tuition increases. The committee was formed after Justin Mills, student body president, told the Board of Regents he was unhappy with the way the administration was handling the tuition increase dialogues. Kathy Jansen, an office supply procurement officer chosen to represent the Classified Senate, said she wanted to find whether the tuition increase was a vision of just the administration or of the entire campus. Dallas Rakestraw, student chair of the Ad-Hoc Committee, said the group would meet with administration on the proposed tuition increase. He also said they would meet with staff from the financial aid office to figure out alternative formulas for tuition. "There are a whole lot of brilliant minds on this campus," she said. "Hopefully we can come up with a solution." "We also want to look at how much money other schools get from their state, and figure how KU would fit in that percentage." Rakestraw said. Matt Steppe, Student Senate legislative director, said the committee would do its best to represent students, faculty and staff. "I hope that, from this committee, a much more inclusive vision of what the university will look like in the future will be formed," he said. Both Rakestraw and Steppe said they hoped to have the first meeting next week, and students would be allowed to attend. "We're trying to look at the whole picture and go from there." Rakestraw said.

Last night's icy weather prompted city-wide closings anc cancellations today and is expected to continue through tomorrow. Sleet storm ends mild winter days By Melissa Shuman Kansan staff writer The National Weather Service for Topeka has issued a winter storm warning in effect until tomorrow. Temperatures will remain in the low to mid 20s today and tomorrow. Sleet will continue today with snow picking up this afternoon. Forecasters from the National Weather Service are predicting ice accumulation up to six inches by Thursday. Two days after an unusual January heat wave, a cold weather front has rolled into Kansas. City officials are already preparing Lawrence for the ice storms by spreading salt and sand, said Tom Orzulak, city street department manager. He recommended driving on busier roads because they aren't as slick. "The salt works better when the streets are more heavily traveled." Orzulak said. WEATHER ALERT Students walking to class should be careful on the sidewalks as well. WEATHER ALERT Classes are canceled and the University's inclement weather policy is in affect. Read the inclement weather policy at http://www.ku.edu/~provost/inclement_weather_01.html. Find out if the policy is extended through tomorrow by calling KU Info at 864-3506. Brandee Smith, Bonner Springs senior, said she had a hard time walking up Mount Oread yesterday. "When I was walking up to class it was so slick I was already having problems," she said. Smith, who commutes about 30 miles from Bonner Springs, said the University should delay or cancel class during inclement weather. "I don't think they think about commuters," she said. "I'd rather be late to class or miss a class than get stuck in a ditch." Doug Riat, director of the department of facilities operations, said his staff was on call to clear ice and snow on campus. Riat said on-campus streets were pre-treated with liquid magnesium chloride to break the bond between ice and the road. Crews worked until 10 p.m.yesterday to treat roads, and would start again at 4 a.m.today, he said. "We'll probably have more in the morning if we're anticipating snow," Riat said. though the department tries to prevent icy roads and sidewalks, heavy ice accumulation can be hard to manage, he said. "The snow requires us to do a lot more work, but the ice is more dangerous because there's not that much we can do." Riat said. To report icy spots on campus, call facilities operations at 864-4770. Matt Laubhan, Russell sophomore and employee at the KU weather lab said that snow could accumulate up to eight inches by Thursday. He said the change in weather was caused by a massive cold front from Canada. "We're right on the edge of it," Laubhan said, "if we do get snow, it will be a lot."

"There have been several studies that have shown that home filters as well as bottled water have less than optimal levels of fluoride," said Angela Wilson, a periodontist at Wilson and Edwards Dental. 4830 Quail Crest Place. Tap water is healthier for people's teeth and gums than bottled water because it contains fluoride, said local dentists. Virtually all sources of city tap water in the United States contain some fluoride, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Wilson said the fluoride in tap water was critical for keeping teeth healthy. Fluoride was first added to tap water in 1945. The American Dental Association Web site reported that fluoride has been responsible for a dramatic drop in cavities and tooth decay. "Fluoride helps prevent cavities or Myra Strother, chief of medical staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said tap water was under strict regulations to make it safe, but also said there was little difference between tap and bottled water. tooth decay by basically strengthening the teeth so that the bacteria cannot penetrate as-easily and cause tooth decav." Wilson said. "Farm runoff and pesticides are usually the concern but the strict criteria takes care of these," Strother said. "Some bottled water is basically tap water that comes from a well or somewhere else." An increasing number of American consumers have turned to bottled water as their primary source of drinking water according to the EPA. "I drink both bottled and tap water, but I prefer bottled water because it tastes better," Dengis said. "I wouldn't care if bottled water caused me to get more cavities." Leigh Dengis, Lake Forest, Ill., freshman, falls within this trend. The National Resources Defense Council conducted a study from 1995 to 1999 to find if bottled water was safer than tap water. The four-year review of the bottled-water industry and the safety standards that govern it included a comparison of national bottled water rules with national tap water rules. The study found that there was no assurance that bottled water was any cleaner or safer than water from the tap. In fact, an estimated 25 percent or more of bottled water is really just tap water in a bottle, sometimes further treated and sometimes not, the report found. BOTTLED WATER OR TAP: Carefully check the bottle label or the cap. If it says "from a municipal source" or "from a community water system," it's derived from tap water.

Students worry aid won't grow with tuition By Sarah Hill Kansan staff writer Jessica Cook worries that she may have to leave school if tuition increases. In November, the Kansas Board of Regents asked KU and other state universities to form a five-year plan to deal with tuition increases. Cook, Topeka freshman, is not the only student concerned about her future at the University of Kansas. Karen Keith, offcampus senator, said that in a Student Senate survey of 645 students, 52 reported that either they or someone they knew would have to leave KU because of the increase. Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations, said that each of the three proposals included a 20-percent increase in need-based financial aid for students. Cook receives scholarships and financial aid, but said she would need extra loans to make up the difference in cost. "I'm going into a field where I won't make a lot of money when I get out of school," she said. "I don't want to pay off huge loans after I graduate." Anne Duston, Overland Park freshman, said her parents paid for her tuition, but was not sure what they would do if tuition increased. "I know money is tight for them right now." Duston said. The Kansas University Endowment Association also provides some tuition assistance. The independent non-profit organization awarded $19.2 million in scholarships last fiscal year. The association is currently sponsoring KU First, its largest fund-raising campaign to date, which hopes to raise $500 million by Fall 2004. $73 million of that is earmarked for scholarships, said John Scarffe, director of communications for the association. But Scarffe said that they would not increase the earmarked scholarship money to accommodate the tuition increases. "Raising funds to assist students has always been a top priority, and will continue to be a top priority regardless of tuition increases," Scarffe said. Alan Cerveny, director of the Office of Admissions and Scholarships, said that the University was not the only school facing tuition hikes. "People need to realize that we aren't operating in a vacuum," he said. "These are the same budget problems that they're having in Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska, where discussions are going on about their state schools." Chris Johnson, associate director of the Office of Student Financial Aid, said he thought it was a good sign that the University and its proposals will give the money back to the students. Johnson said that students with the greatest need would get enough help with the increased aid included in the proposals, but said there was a gray area of students who are barely covered now. "It's hard to say what will happen to those who don't have Pell grants, but are not fully supported by home," Johnson said. A Pell grant is a need-based government grant that students do not repay. Johnson said he wants to help those students with unmet needs. Cook said she hoped she could find a way to complete her studies at KU after the increase. "The price is a reason why KU is so attractive," she said. "It's a good education with so many opportunities, and it's less expensive than other schools." Contact Hill at shill@kansan.com.

Horowitz is also a leader of the Kaw Valley Living Wage Alliance. I By Mike Gilligan Kansan staff writer Mark Horowitz saw the effects of poverty while doing fieldwork in Mexico and as a labor organizer in Denver. Now, he is one of the leaders of a group trying to eliminate poverty by increasing wages in Lawrence. "Seeing poverty first-hand has really opened my eyes to the human effects of globalization," said Horowitz, who is working on his doctorate in sociology and is a teaching assistant in the Spanish department. Horowitz is one of the leaders of the Kaw Valley Living Wage Alliance, which argues that companies that receive tax breaks should pay their employees a living wage. "In Lawrence we are proposing that the living wage should be 30 percent above the federal family poverty line for a family of three plus benefits," Horowitz said. "That comes out to $9.14 an hour." Horowitz studied sociology and Spanish as an undergraduate at Clark University in Worcester, Mass., and said he has always been dedicated to issues of social justice. This interest included doing fieldwork last year in a shanty town called Reynosa along the U.S.-Mexican border. Horowitz interviewed Mexican factory workers about the conditions and wages they were earning. "It was a very poor community," he said. "The conditions were the same as in a Third World country." In 1996, Horowitz also worked as a labor organizer for a group of mostly Mexican workers in Denver, Colo. He said there is evidence that wages in Lawrence are lower than in other college towns. "Poverty is a problem nationwide," Horowitz said. "The Alliance wants to make sure that no workers will be living in poverty." The Kaw Valley Living Wage Alliance, which started about a year and a half ago, is one of many living wage alliances that have formed across the country. to pay a living wage if it receives tax breaks, employs 10 or more people and exports a certain amount of goods, Horowitz said. Under a typical living wage proposal, a business would have "This does not affect your local restaurants and retail stores," he said. "It usually applies to warehouses and bigger businesses." According to the Kaw Valley Living Wage Alliance Web site, living wage campaigns have succeeded in 60 cities throughout the country. Some cities where the campaigns have been successful have included city workers and contractors in the group of people who receive a living wage. "We use the 30 percent above the federal poverty line, which is a common approach," Horowitz said. Kaw Valley Living Wage Alliance meets once a month in the Lawrence Public Library. "There are about a dozen people who come to the meetings regularly." Horowitz said. "Twenty-six organizations in town have endorsed us, including churches and small businesses." Kyle Browning, senate senate vice president and Overland Park senior, is a member of Kaw Valley Living Wage Alliance and said the ultimate goal is to pass a city ordinance. In September, Student Senate passed a resolution supporting a living wage in Lawrence, he said. "It's an issue of economic justice," Browning said. "I don't want to live in a city where they subsidize poverty." The idea of a living wage is not without its opponents. Marty Kennedy, city commissioner and owner of Kennedy Glass, 750 New Jersey St., is one of three commissioners who opposed the amendment presented by the Alliance in November. "One of my problems with the amendment is, how do you tell a business person what they will pay an employee?" he said. "You pay employees to the skill level they achieve."

For Ryan Desch, the only reason to take humanities and western civilization classes is to fulfill a degree requirement. He's not the only one. About 1,800 KU students enroll in humanities and western civilization classes each semester. In only four months, students read works by Homer, Descartes, Aristotle and other famous authors. Students take it to fulfill their schools' requirements. Two western civilization classes are required by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and by some of the University's professional schools. James Woolefel, director of the department of humanities and western civilization, said reactions similar to Desch's were common. He said KU students often had a delayed reaction when it came to appreciating western civilization courses. Woelfel said most only realized how valuable the courses were after graduation. "I imagine a lot of them wonder why they need to take it," Woelfel said. Dave Dewar, an instructor of humanities and western civilization, said that students were given an advantage by having to take the course. "We live in a western culture, and it's important to learn the foundations from which we live," he said. "There's a history to those ideas, and it's important students understand that." But some students disagree with the readings the mandatory courses require. David Woirhaye, Overland Park senior, is now enrolled in western civilization II. He said the course was worth the effort of reading almost one book per week, but thought many of the readings for the class weren't well-selected. "We live in a Western culture and it's important to learn the foundations from which we live. There's a history to those ideas and it's important students understand that." Dave Dewar professor of humanities and western civilization Woelfel said the selection of the books for both western civilization I and II was an open process within the humanities and western civilization department involving students, faculty and graduate teaching assistants. Two undergraduates, he said, can "At times, there are required texts I don't think belong there," Woirhay said. join the curriculum and advising committee if nominated by their instructors. Woelfel said the department's curriculum and advising committee met last semester and received input from students. The committee will meet again in three or four years, he said. Jon Gertken, a KU graduate, served on the committee as an undergraduate after being nominated by his instructor. Gertken said he didn't use the opportunity to change the required texts. Instead, he thought the courses should be more rigorous and have more discussion sessions rather than big lectures. "I think it would be best to try to engage students more," Gertken said. "These are the sort of things that make you a more educated person in society." Contact Shaffer at lshaffer@kansan.com. This story was edited by Cassio Furtado.

According to University regulations, faculty members who receive royalties on educational materials and make them required reading in courses they teach must donate the proceeds, either to their departments or schools, or to scholarship funds or other non-profit entities. Some faculty and staff may not be aware of this policy, so each department should make sure that its faculty members are aware of the regulations. Professors should not make money by requiring students to buy books that they wrote, though they should be allowed to donate the profits. At issue is not only whether professors donate profits from the sale of their books. Some students are concerned that they are not receiving well-rounded views of the subjects that are essential to having a strong liberal arts education. Some professors, such as David Holmes, professor of psychology, have incredible credentials and are considered experts in their field. Holmes uses books he wrote for his general psychology and abnormal psychology classes. He uses his text along with research he conducted himself to teach the class. The book most often follows the lecture, which allows the student the chance to gain a much deeper understanding of the material. David Guth, associate professor of journalism, co-wrote a book for public relations courses in the School of Journalism. Guth said that because it was a general textbook, it was written to encompass a wide range of perspectives. Guth said that his book was easier to read than most other books on the subject and cost half as much as the book that was previously used in the course. ...AND YOU'LL BE REQUIRED TO PURCHASE MY TEXT ENTITLED "Why I Like Dolphins" BY ME, EDWARD BIGGINS. WHY I LIKE DOLPHINS By Edward Biggins Professors should be allowed to use their own textbooks to teach their classes. However, they should not profit from book sales to their own students. The money should go back into a scholarship fund or back into the department. The faculty or staff member, along with the department, should have the final say as to how the profit will be donated. Katie Hackett for the editorial board. KU instructors should not require students to buy books that they've written. The negative aspects of allowing faculty members to require their own books outweigh the positives. First and foremost, it is simply way too self-serving for an instructor to write a book on a specific subject, require every student to purchase the book and then proceed to lecture for an entire semester on a certain set of ideologies related to the subject with only his or her own textbook to back up the ideas. By doing so, an instructor provides a one-sided approach to the information and hinders students from studying different outlooks. The instructors are using their own judgment to decide how the information all fits together as a cohesive whole. side author has published the book One may argue that most instructors would teach students only out of textbooks that presented their own viewpoints regardless. But at least when an out- you're reading, it allows you to relate it to the instructor's lectures and fit the information together yourself—a vital part of the learning process. Secondly, many students feel that they are being taken advantage of when they go to purchase the required textbook at the bookstore, only to find that the book is a stack of 300 sheets of unbound typing paper shrink-wrapped in plastic with a price tag of $80. With a professional presentation, such as a cover, the textbooks at least present the image that the information inside is valuable and pertinent, but some of these creations seem to be little more than a set of notes from the previous semester. Other instructors have a tendency to require their own textbooks and make other books recommended purchases. Let's be honest. Most students would rather save the money and not buy the recommended textbooks because they come with the implication that there is no information included in them that will be presented on tests. A possible solution would be to reverse the situation and require a textbook not written by the instructor, while making the instructor's textbook a recommended purchase. Regardless, the current system is not the best way to go, and that until instructors find a different way to promote their textbooks, students will be presented with a one-sided approach to learning. Blake Shuart for the editorial board. PERSPECTIVE Satirists' work ripens toward 'Onion"-like perfection "KIHK plays eight hours of static." "Oread" sex column fails to excite faculty, staff. "Baby Jay in MIP melodrama." Thursday's University Daily Kansan contained some interesting articles. The headlines quoted above tell the story. These weren't articles based on months of meticulous reporting. These weren't articles uncovering horrific scandals deep within the University of Kansas. They were made-up articles that were meant to make you laugh. The Kansan has started printing a weekly satire page. Overseen by campus editor Matt Merkel-Hess and written by a motley assortment of student volunteers, the page aims to amuse by lampooning campus personalities, issues and sacred cows. "it's mostly just a place to have fun," Merkel-Hess said, "I hope it turns into something people will look forward to." Kansan editor Leita Walker first considered the concept last year, when a provocative April Fool's Day satire page sparked comment around campus (sample headline: "Woman beaten with ugly stick"). At the time, Walker served as the Kansan's readers' representative. She said she decided that a weekly satire page could have a place in the paper. A more regular publication schedule would make more sense, too. READERS' REPRESENTATIVE "It's out of line if you do it once a year," she said. Merkel-Hess was also interested in putting together a satire page. After a semester of reporting at the Kansan, he saw the University community and newspaper style as ripe targets for parody. READERS' REPRESENTATIVE Clay McCuistion cmccuistion@kansan.com Walker and Merkel-Hess talked, and the page was born. Humor publications at the University of Kansas boast a lengthy history. Merkel-Hess compiled a list of various funny papers that circulated around campus in the past 90 years. Sample names: The Sour Owl, The Bitter Bird, and Celery Bean's Mystery Magazine. Yet the new satire page owes little to any specific KU predecessor. The page pays a homegrown tribute to the style of The Onion, a Madison, Wis.-birthed satirical weekly. "A lot of college kids, especially journalism students, read that," Merkel-Hess said. "Hopefully as we figure out what we're doing, we'll incorporate more original elements." The Onion's distinctive style fuses bitter social satire with the crudest of jokes. That makes the Kansan satire page's task tough. Humor of the Onion variety demands curse words, near-clinical descriptions of sexual acts and a truly twisted journalistic sensibility. Out of necessity, the Kansan has to make the humor on its page different; not so much bad language, not so much sex and tightly edited, quality writing. Last week's satire page didn't succeed on all counts. But, as Walker said, "It was a good start." Articles showed promise, even if they didn't always follow through. I grinned several times as I read the page. And Merkel-Hess's staff is already creating material for future issues. If you want to be a part of the page, contact Merkel-Hess at mmerkel-hess@kansan.com. You don't have to be in journalism. Just have a sense of humor and eniov writing. I can't define "good satire" or "good humor." All I know is what makes me laugh. The satire page will try to make the thousands of KU students in Lawrence laugh. It's a big job. I want to see what happens next. McCusition is an El Dorado senior in journalism and English.

A WEDNESDAY, JAN. 30, 2002 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 5A JEM A HARRISON AARON SHOWALTER/KANSAN Wichita sophomore Cassie Cool maintains a close relationship with her family, especially her parents, grandparents and pets represented here in photos. Parents inspire 'Cool' student By Adam Pracht Kansan staff writer Cassie Cool has a last name that seems to jump out of the student directory. "I take a lot of pride in it," the Wichita sophomore said. Herfather, David Cool, said that "Cool" is a name that fits her well. "She's confident, she looks for challenges, and she holds her head up every dav" he said. Cassie has faced challenges in her life. She has dealt with her parents' divorce, struggled with grades and tested ner limits. Cassie has spent the last six years on color guard for the Marching Jayhawks, and next year will be her last before she pursues a law degree. Faces in the Crowd Cassie said she wanted to move to the East Coast and work as a corporate lawyer, specializing in international business. Her long-term goal is to be a member of the Supreme Court of the United States. Her mother, Kim Cool, said she thought that Cassie would reach her goal. "She's going to be successful. She just has this drive in her." she said. Yet the road has still difficult for Cassie. Her parents' divorce left a lasting impression on her. "When I was little, you didn't want to hurt one parent by wanting to be with the other parent. You didn't want to spend too much time with them because then that wouldn't be fair," Cassie said. "I hate asking my parents for things and I'm afraid to speak up in front of them just because of it. I'm just like,' Am I going to hurt them? Am I going to offend them in some way?' That has to be the hardest thing that I've ever had to do in my life." Kim said that she thought Cassie's experience in divorce court led her to pursue a law degree. "She wasn't happy with things and wanted them changed," she said. Kim was a young mother when she had Cassie. She had Cassie's older brother Ieremv at 16 and Cassie at 18. "You have to deal with how people look at you," Kim said. "You're a young mother and you're alone. In turn, maybe that's what brought us closer." Along the way, Cassie's parents pushed her to succeed. She said her father was a role model for her, academically. "He was the only person in my family to graduate from college," she said. "My brother and I are in college, so he kind of set the path for us." Cassie said her mother provided an example of character. Kim overcame her alcoholism 10 years ago and is now successfully self-employed cleaning houses. Kim played an important role in keeping Cassie in high school. Now that Cassie is in college, her mother continues to keep her going. “It's hard to keep your head above water, but she calls me on Thursdays and she's like, 'I just want you know that I'm proud of you, and it's OK to fail as long as you try harder the next time around,'” Cassie said. “She just keeps me going forward and when I feel like quitting, she doesn't let me.” Contact Pracht at aprachtskansan.com.

County hopes for heritage area recognition By Lauren Beatty Kansan staff writer Douglas County may be named a National Heritage Area because of its history of abolitionist struggles. Quantrill's Raid and the underground railroad. "We want to try to make local people more aware of what Lawrence is all about and to promote it for tourists," Dunfield said. A local group, the National Heritage Area Task Force, will prepare an application for the congressional designation, said David Dunfield, city commissioner. "In part it has to do with history and heritage issues," Dunfield said. "Recently there has been historical interests like Hobbs Park. It has caught a lot of attention." Hobbs Park is a new city park at 10th and Delaware streets that features a restored Civil War-era house. Judy Billings, director of the Lawrence Visitor and Convention Bureau, said a designation as a National Heritage Area would have positive implications. "Heritage tourism is quite a buzzword now," she said. "It's been proven that people who travel for history spend more money and more time in the area. That brings more money and more hotel rooms." Billings said the report they will present to Congress would focus on the Bleeding Kansas story, which was the fight over whether Kansas would be a slave- or free state. "It will give us a better understanding of our roots," she said. "It will generate pride and provide opportunities for community development and preserving historic sites." The task force began Friday and Saturday with subcommittee meetings. The subcommittees consist of historical and sociological impacts; architecture and geography; and economic impacts of the possible designation. The first step in the process is to gather information for the study. "We're aiming to present our findings to the city commission by June or July," Dunfield said. "We're putting together a report to see whether the feasibility study is appropriate. Until then, it will be a lot of subcommittee work." The project is in preliminary stages and involves illustrating Lawrence's resources and how the town would preserve and promote history, he said. Billings said it could take a year or more to finalize the study. Contact Beatty at beatty@kansan.com. This story was edited by Jeremy Clarkson. WARNER BROS.

Sondra Headrick, a 33-year-old Kingman County resident, has been confined to bed rest at Via Christi Regional Medical Center-St. Joseph Campus since Jan. 3. She and her husband, Eldon, are expecting three boys and three girls, The Wichita Eagle reported yesterday. Fewer than 100 sets of sextuplets are on record; only about a dozen survived as full sets. Some of the children lived with vision problems, cerebral palsy or other health defects. Headrick's sextuplets resulted from fertility drugs used last summer. The couple already have one child from a fertility procedure, 3-year-old Aubrianna. If they survive, doctors think they will be the first sextuplets in Kansas history. David Grainger, the Wichita The babies — called babies A, B,C,D,E and F for now — are kicking at each other and at their mother's ribs these days. Doctors say they are thriving in their 21st week of development. reproductive endocrinologist who supervised the fertility procedure in September, said he tried to prevent a multiple pregnancy and was devastated when it happened anyway. Most pregnancies last 40 weeks, but multiple births rarely make it that long. The average delivery time for sextuplets is 23 weeks, said Van Bohman, a high risk pregnancy specialist. Doctors are hoping to extend Headrick's pregnancy to 26 or 27 weeks, or more. If they are lucky, the babies would be born in mid-March. Grainger and Bohman told the couple they could abort the pregnancy or reduce it by four, giving the two remaining fetuses a better chance of survival. The couple rejected the abortion options after two weeks of soul-searching. "Eldon and I don't want to portray ourselves as being any better than anyone else, or any more religious than anyone else who might find themselves in a similar situation and make a different decision." Sandra H. Sondra Headrick expected mother of sextuplets Sondra Headrick said abortion was not a choice — she and her husband had already seen six heartbeats flickering on the doctor's sonogram video monitor. "You try as a mother not to get attached to the babies at that stage," she said. "But it's impossible." She said it was not a matter of being for or against abortion rights. "Eldon and I don't want to portray ourselves as being any better than anyone else, or any more religious than anyone else who might find themselves in a similar situation and make a different decision." Their entire income is now the $27,000 Eldon earns by cleaning out storm drains for the city of Wichita. In November, Sondra took a leave from her job as a Medicare billing clerk at Kingman Community Hospital. Insurers have calculated that it could cost from $250,000 to $350,000 each for the babies hospitalization, depending on how fragile they are when they arrive. Most of that cost would be covered by the couple's insurance company. Doctors have ordered extra equipment for the neonatal unit, and have planned delivery drills and handed out extra pagers. Exhibit blurs line between human, zoo life The Associated Press SALINA — It's like the MTV show The Real World only with animals, Adam Zaretsky says of his living conditions. Zaretsky is one of the featured creatures in the "Workhorse Zoo" in Salina, a combination of art and science he hopes will cause people to rethink their relationships with other living things. Zaretsky's home is an 8-footby-8-foot glass room he shares with albino frogs, families of mice, microscopic worms and an actively growing yeast culture. In the exhibit, Zaretsky wears a blue plastic cape, purple latex gloves, pink bunny hat, shiny gray shorts, a denim-blue polyester knit jacket and knee-length red-white-and-black toe-socks. He is know as "Zed, species Homo sapiens." "I'm actually trying to blur the boundary between what is human culture and what is reality," Zaretsky said, while stretched out on an ambulance gurney that he uses for a bed. He never leaves the enclosure, using a red tarp fitted with a hula- "This is sort of like The Real World or Survivor, but it's multispecies," the 33-year-old San Francisco conceptual artist said. hoop as his "privacy cone" when he uses his portable toilet. Julia Reodica, who was Zaretsky's teaching assistant while he served as a visiting professor at San Francisco State University, is the zoo keeper. "As a serious researcher, I am finding Zed temperamental and unpredictable," observed Reodica, clad in a Boy Scout uniform with long, zip-up black go-go boots. "When agitated, he throws rubbish against the windows," she noted. Art Center curator Stacy Switzer said when she read Zaretsky's proposal for "Workhorse Zoo,"she knew it would be a perfect fit with a larger exhibit she had been working on for a year, titled "Unmediated Vision." "We go with contemporary art. We're a little more edgy. The idea is the overlapping of art and life," she said. Zaretsky received a $20,000 grant to stage his weeklong "man-in-a-glass-house" exhibit in Salina. Next, Zaretsky heads to the University of Western Australia in Perth, to blur the lines of reality there. "He's poised to be a very important figure in the whole area of bio-art," Switzer said.

In his first State of the Union address, he pledged a battle of equal vigor to revive the alling economy. "We will prevail in war, and we will defeat this recession," the commander in chief said, standing before Congress and the public with heroically high approval ratings. Nearly five months after the Sept. 11 attacks that shocked America, Bush fleshed out his vision for the war on terrorism beyond Afghanistan — to a dozen countries that he said harbor terrorists and "an axis of evil" of three more that seek weapons of mass destruction. Bush entered the packed House chamber to boisterous applause from Republicans and Democrats alike. Seconds into his speech, he made a fist, and tapped it lightly against the podium as he declared that despite terrorism and recession, "the state of our union has never been stronger." House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt's words for terrorists were similar to Bush's: "Make no mistake about it: We are going to hunt you down and make you pay." But he also challenged GOP positions on Social Security, taxes and health care. In a 48-minute speech interrupted by applause more than 70 times, Bush urged Congress to pass his tax-cutting economic package and challenged Americans to commit two years or 4,000 hours to community service. He hopes to tap the surge in patriotism since the attacks. "We can overcome evil with greater good," the president said. Amid extraordinary security, leaders of the congressional, judicial and executive branches gathered beneath the same Capitol dome that officials believe was targeted during the attacks on Washington and New York. Dick Cheney, who has spent many nights in undisclosed locations because of security precautions, took the vice president's traditional place on the rostrum behind the president during the speech. In the gallery, first lady Laura Bush was joined by several guests in her VIP box high above the well of the House, including interim Afghan leader Hamid Karzai and firefighters, soldiers and other citizen-heroes whose stories helped buoy a weary nation. "The men and women of our armed forces have delivered a message to every enemy of the United States," Bush said, "You will not escape the justice of this nation." Outlining his post-Afghanistan battle plans, the president vowed to unearth "a terrorist underworld" of training camps in a dozen countries, including the Philippines, Bosnia and Somalia. He said nations will be given a chance to wipe out terrorists themselves, and the United States is willing to assist their efforts. But, he warned: "If they do not act, America will." In his strongest terms yet, Bush called North Korea, Iraq and Iran part of an "axis of evil," warning that their pursuit of weapons of mass destruction pose a "grave and growing danger" and will not be tolerated. "I will not wait on events, while dangers gather. I will not stand by, as peril draws closer and closer," Bush said. "The United States of America will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons." The nation's 43rd president addressed Americans with a degree of national unity conferred on no other chief executive since Franklin D. Roosevelt. In the Democratic response, Gephardt mentioned Enron Corp., the Texas-based energy company linked to Bush that collapsed with the life savings of many workers. Bush did not mention Enron, but asked Congress to enact pension reform and require more financial disclosure from companies. "Corporate America must be made more accountable to employees and shareholders and held to the highest standards of conduct," Bush said. Ashcroft has benign skin lesions removed The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Attorney General John Ashcroft had benign skin lesions removed from an ear and a shoulder last week, the Justice Department said yesterday. Reporters initially noticed a small bandage on Ashcroft's ear Monday during a speech he gave on terrorism at the Organization of American States in Washington. Justice officials acknowledged the medical procedure late yesterday, hours before President Bush's State of the Union address. Ashcroft, 59, a former Missouri governor and U.S. senator, took over as attorney general in February 2001. He spends time outdoors and owns a family farm in Missouri. Doctors say it is common for people who spend long hours in the sun, such as Ashcroft on his farm, to develop skin lesions in their 50s, particularly around the face and neck. Nearly all are treated successfully by freezing, burning or cutting them off. "As we age, we develop more benign skin lesions related to sunlight," Dr. Robert M. Adrian, a prominent Washington dermatologist, said. "This in no way reflects a greater risk to health." Patients who receive regular health checkups, including skin examinations, "are at little risk" of developing serious skin cancer because suspicious growths are routinely removed before they can become dangerous to health. Adrian said. Capt. David Ferguson, a physician at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., said yesterday that dermatologists biopsied Ashcroft's skin lesions during Ashcroft's annual physical exam Friday. Ferguson said the lesions were "similar to those he's had in the past." Ferguson said Ashcroft did not suffer from any melanomas, "and the attorney general's overall health was found to be excellent." The lesion on Ashcroft's ear was sliced off, a Justice spokeswoman said. She did not say how the lesion on his right shoulder was treated. When Ashcroft entered the Capitol chambers for the State of the Union speech, the sore on his left ear was barely noticeable. He had previously removed the small bandage on his ear, and a small raw spot a few millimeters long was visible on the inside surface of his left ear. The procedure apparently caused no disruption to the attorney general's work schedule. He appeared at a televised news conference Friday and spoke Monday at the Organization of American States headquarters. As attorney general, Ashcroft is helping to direct one of the largest criminal investigations in U.S. history, stemming from the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington. Consumer confidence improves The Associated Press NEW YORK — Consumer confidence improved for the second consecutive month in January, lifted by increased optimism about jobs and the economy. The New York-based Conference Board said yesterday its Consumer Confidence Index rose to 97.3 this month from a revised 94.6 in December. Analysts were expecting a reading of 96. The industry group's index, based on a monthly survey of some 5,000 U.S. households, is closely watched because consumer confidence drives consumer spending, which accounts for about two-thirds of the nation's economic activity. "While the economy has not turned around yet, the worst may well be over," said Lynn Franco, director of the Conference Board's Consumer Research Center. Franco said the upturn in confidence was driven by the feeling that the business outlook and job prospects are going to get better. The index compares results to its base year, 1985, when it stood at 100. The November figure was the lowest since February 1994, when it reached 79.9. Earlier yesterday, the Commerce Department reported that orders to U.S. factories for costly goods rose a bigger-thanexpected 2 percent in December, suggesting the nation's battered manufacturing sector is beginning to emerge from a 17-month slump. Both reports suggested that better days lie ahead for the economy, which officially slipped into recession in March. To keep the economy afoot, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates 11 times last year, helping to push the prime lending rate, a benchmark for many consumer and business loans, to its lowest level since November 1965. Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan told Congress last week that he sees signs of a recovery, prompting many analysts to predict that Fed policy-makers will leave interest rates unchanged after a two-day meeting that begins Tuesday. The Conference Board said consumers' assessment of the current economic climate was mixed. Consumers rating business conditions as good increased to 18.4 percent from 17.3 percent in December, but those who felt conditions were bad rose to 22.4 percent from 21.7 percent. Nonetheless Americans are still feeling optimistic about their economic prospects for the next six months. The percentage of consumers who expect business conditions to improve climbed to 25 percent from 22.2 percent in December, the report said. Consumers' outlook about jobs also improved, with 18.8 percent expecting more jobs to open up in the next six months, compared to 18.5 in December. Those expecting fewer jobs dipped to 18.2 percent from 19.3 percent. The Conference Board is a nonprofit research and business group,with more than 2,700 corporate and other members around the world.

The twin scourges of war and drought had raised fears that Afghanistan could be facing mass starvation; the WFP said some 6 million people were in imminent risk. The concern was compounded by thefts of international food aid by bandits in the security vacuum following the fall of the Taliban. "We have averted a famine," WFPhead Catherine Bertini said, but added: "Even though people are receiving some food, that's not to say they're receiving enough food." "We have sent food into virtually every area of the country that is secure, which is most of the country," she said, and praised local authorities for help in retrieving stolen food. In the Jalalabad region alone, some 400 tons of stolen food have been recovered, Bertini said, estimating that only about 0.2 percent of the agency's food had been lost for good. Other organizations distributing food within Afghanistan include the international Red Cross, the Iranian Red Crescent, Japan's Peace Winds, Tzu Chi of Taiwan and Mercy Corps International among others. Yesterday, seven carloads of humanitarian cargoes, including 130 tons of food, were turned over by Russian authorities to Afghan officials in Tajikistan for shipment to this country, the ITAR-Tass news agency reported. Earlier, on a tour of WFP-funded projects in the Afghan capital, Bertini visited a bakery run by and for widows, which she said demonstrated how food aid can bring cohesion to a shattered society by feeding the soul as well as the stomach. Glancing at a group of about 50 women who huddled along the bakery's wall, some with their burqas thrown back to warm their faces in the winter sun, Bertini said the daily ritual was important for women who suf- "They come, sharing their struggles together," she said. terred from war and Taliban oppression. For some, the bread is what keeps their lives going. The bakery, one of 21 such operations supported by the WFP in the Afghan capital, provides work for some widows and bread for hundreds of others. In all, the bakers distribute bread to more than 6,700 families. The daily ration of five flat loaves costs about 31/2 cents. "We never eat rice or anything, just this bread," said a woman who gave her name only as Alima. For the workers, it has been much more. The bakery, started in 1996 in the only functioning building on a war-blasted block in west Kabul, was allowed to operate under the Taliban even though women were generally barred from working. "They allowed it because they knew that there would be no male body inside the bakery. We worked, but with a lot of fear," said Aqila Asdaque, a local WFP monitor. Now .

Love him or loathe him, "Dukie" Vitale is a college basketball icon. A legend. An expert. But a pest, at that. Dickie V can be flat-out irritating especially if you tune in to any Duke broadcast on ESPN or ESPN2. Vitale has the hots for the entire Blue Devils starting five and a long-running infatuation with coach Mike Krzyzewski. Vitale worships Duke, hence his pseudonym. But ignore the cheerleading. What makes Vitale famous is the voice — the unmistakable blabber, the unprecedented enthusiasm for the game. An exaggerated squeak that slithers through the television set, scratching chalkboards, shattering windows and horrifying young children who mistake the commentator for a ghost with undying vocal cords. ("It's OK honey," the mother says to her 3-year-old son, as he wails and screams, pointing his flabby fingers toward Vitale's face on big screen. "It's not a monster, it's just Dick Vitale." Before the mother finishes explaining, the toddler already has soiled his Pampers.) Dickie V has always liked Kansas, but his "lifetime" contract calling Duke games has lessened his affection for the Jayhawks. This all changed as Vitale started vapping. Drew Gooden starred. Dick Vitale screamed. New love blossomed. "Big timer. Double doubles consistently," Vitale bellowed at the top of his lungs as Gooden sunk a floater in the lane. "The best power forward in America, making a run for National Player of the Year honors." The Gooden show had just begun — a pump fake and drive to the basket, a spin move and turnaround jumper from 15 feet, a leaner on the baseline. Gooden was sizzling. And Vitale had jumped on the bandwagon. "He is putting a show on, on national TV. He wants America to know that he is one of the premier players in the land...If I pick my top five right now, he is in it, Brad," Vitale rumbled to his play-by-play partner Brad Nessler. "There is no doubt that he is one of the five premier players in America." (Shame on you, Dick. In his ESPN the Magazine's College Basketball Preview, Vitale left Gooden out of his top 15 players in the country. Ironically, Dickie V tabbed Missouri's Kareem Rush as a member of his first five.) Funny how even the best make mistakes. Right after a TV time out, Gooden shook the stadium and brought Vitale to a one-breasted frenzy. Gooden stole the ball at midcourt, took one power dribble with his left hand, jump-stopped eight feet from the rim, leapt off two feet and powered the ball through the basket with a ferocious, one-handed flush. Go ahead, Dickie V. We know you're anxious. "Oh, what a monster jam. Dipsey-Doo- Dunkaroo. The Phog fanatics love Mr. Gooden, and that's not Dwight Gooden with a 95-mph fastball," Vitale exclaimed. Make no mistake. The voice that America loves to hate has a new crush. Dickie V is sweet on Drew. Contact Denton atjdenton@kansan.com. Team focuses on future games LAURIE SISK/KANSAN KANSAS 15 Kansas sophomore forward Bryant Nash goes up to block a shot from Missouri freshman guard Duane John during Monday's game. Kansas' next opponent will be Colorado on Feb. 2. Despite the huge win over Missouri, Kansas won't let victory go to their heads By Doug Pacey Kansan sportswrite Slow down Kansas fans. Don't go calling high school friends at other colleges and start bragging about your Jayahwaks just yet. Yeah, Kansas is the second-ranked team in the country and beat the tar out of rival No. 22 Missouri 105-73 Monday. And, of course, the Jayhawks are perched atop the Big 12 Conference standings with a 7-0 record, 18-2 overall, but Roy Williams' team has been in this situation before and the outcome has not been pretty. pretty. "Last year we were 6-0 and we didn't win the seventh game," Williams said. "We're only one game better than we were last year. The year before we were 4-0. I think and we're only three games better than we were then and we finished in some Godawful spot, fourth or fifth or something." A 75-66 loss in Columbia, Mo., last year sent the then-No. 3 Jayhawks into a 2-4 tailspin and ruined any chance Kansas had of winning its first Big 12 championship since the 1997-98 season. The previous season saw the Jayhawks win their first four Big 12 games before going 3-4 over their next seven games on their way to an 11-5 Big 12 record and fifthplace finish. "In this league you've got to play 16 games," Williams said. "We've got some big-time games left against some people that have very, very good basketball teams." Barring a complete collapse and lack of effort like last year's 85-77 upset loss at Only two ranked opponents are left on Kansas' schedule: Missouri, which is the last game of the regular season for both teams on March 3, and No. 20 Texas Tech (15-3 overall, 4-2 Big 12), Feb. 9 at Allen Fieldhouse. Two days after the game against the Red Raiders the Jayhawks will play at Texas (14-5 overall, 5-1 Big 12), the Big 12's current second-place team. Kansan women suffer another loss at Boulder SEE BASKETBALL ON PAGE 38 Buffaloes continue winning streak with 80-41 win over Hawks COLORADO 54 KANSAS 24 CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Kansas left for Boulder before the frigid weather hit Lawrence last night, but the Jayhawks' play against No. 20 Colorado remained as ice-cold as it has been all season. The Buffaloes (16-6 overall, 6-3 Big 12 Conference) defeated the 'Hawks 80-41, extending their winning streak to six games while handing Kansas (5-17, 0-9) its ninth straight loss. The 39-point loss tied for the second-worst loss in Jayhawk history. "We are struggling," Kansas coach Marian Washington said. "We did not do much on the defensive end, so they got some easy looks." The problems for Kansas started almost as soon as the game began. The 'Hawks simply could not find offensive production from anyone in the first half, and Colorado took advantage. The Buffaloes held Kansas to 12 first-half points and led by 24 at the break. The Hawks troubles only continued in the second. With the inside game next o non-existent, Washington tried a number of players in the middle with little result. Freshman guard and forward Chelsey Thompson drives the ball at last night's game against Colorado. Reserve Valerie Migicovsky did provide a lift off the bench for Kansas, finishing with five points and three rebounds. Sharonne Spencer suffered a game-ending knee injury early in the half, and freshman Blair Waltz failed to score in 15 minutes of action. kansas' seniors provided even less help inside.

While there won't be another McFall competing on the 3-meter board next season, she thinks of the other four divers as family. "The most, I'll definitely miss my sisters," McFall said. "I'll miss the swimmers too, but the divers, we're such a tight-knit group. I've been through a lot with them." By Ali Brox Kansan sportswriter "They're like a little bitty family," diving coach Kevin Lawrence said. Lawrence considers McFall a silent leader but one who isn't afraid to stand up and tell the underclassmen what needs to be done. "She makes decisions, and she makes choices based on what a leader should," he said. "She's very loyal too." JOHN NOWAK/KANSAN After quitting club gymnastics in the seventh grade, McFall started diving because of her father. With the Kansas swimming and diving team's final home meet this Saturday at the Robinson Center natatorium, sportswriter Ali Brox will be profiling one of the four senior team members each day this week.

"He suggested why don't you try it out, so I did. That's how I got started."

Lion 蟹 芭蕾舞 JUSTICE Scorpion O Schottenheimer sets sights on struggling San Diego squad C SAN DIEGO — The San Diego Chargers hired former division rival Marty Schottenheimer as coach yesterday, hoping he could end their six-year playoff drought, the second-longest in the NFL. The Associated Press Schottenheimer becomes the fourth head coach in six seasons for the Chargers, who've been awful in the NFLs age of parity. They won just six games the last two seasons and are 23-57 since Bobby Ross, the only coach to get them to the Super Bowl, was forced out after the 1996 season. The Chargers have been courting Schottenheimer for nearly two weeks to replace Mike Riley, who was fired Dec. 31 after San Diego lost nine straight games to finish 5-11. Riley was 14-34 in three seasons. Schottenheimer will make about $10 million the next four seasons, some of which will be paid by the Washington Redskins, who fired him on Jan. 13 after one season. scottenheimer is 153-93-1 in 16 NFL seasons, including 104-65-1 from 1989-98 with the AFC West rival Kansas City Chiefs. His Chiefs and Cleveland Browns teams reached the playoffs 11 times, although his postseason record is 5-11. Schottenheimer didn't duck his postseason record. "It's reality. It is what it is, I wish it were better; it's not. Somebody once said, "The truth freezes all.' So I recognized that it's not very good, certainly not what we'd like." The Chargers have made the playoffs just three times in the 18 seasons they've been owned by Alex Spanos, all coming under Ross. The Chargers' last playoff game was a 35-20 home wild-card loss to Indianapolis on Dec. 31, 1995, 11 months after they were embarrassed 49-26 by San Francisco in the Super Bowl. Since then, every NFL team except Cincinnati and the expansion Cleveland Brownshave made the playoffs at least once. Schottenheimer reportedly will be paid about $4.5 million over the first three years of the deal by the Chargers, with the Redskins paying about $3 million to make up the difference of the $7.5 million he was owed when he was fired. The Chargers will pay him $2.5 million in the fourth year. Kournikova wins at Toray Pan Schottenheimer was 8-8 with Washington, which fired him because he refused to surrender his authority over player personnel moves. The Associated Press TOKYO — Anna Kournikova breezed through the first round of the Toray Pan Pacific tennis tournament yesterday with a 6-3, 6-0 victory over Spain's Cristina Torrens-Valero. "I felt like a beginner out there," Kournikova said. "I just tried to attack as much as possible and get as many first serves in as possible because the courts here are really fast." Kournikova, who reached the semifinals of this event last year, is coming off a stress fracture in her left foot. She played in last week's Australian Open, but lost in the first round to Justine Henin. After having her serve broken in the opening game of the match at Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium, Kournikova came right back to break serve in the next game and then built a 5-3 lead before serving out the first set. She finished the match in 48 minutes. "I don't think it was a one sided match," Kournikova said. "The first set was pretty close, but I think it just got to a point where I opened up a lead and it was really difficult for her to come back." Elsewhere, Amanda Coetzer, seeded eighth, defeated Lisa Raymond 7-5, 6-4. After winning the first set, Coetzer broke serve in the second set to take a 5-4 lead and then served out the final game to win the match.

SOCCER Wizard's midfielder retires after six seasons KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Wizards midfielder Mark Santel said yesterday he would retire from professional soccer after six seasons. The Wizards acquired Santel, 33, from the Dallas Burn before the 2001 season. He played in 21 games for the Wizards, scoring one goal and adding one assist. He had a career total of six goals and 23 assists. He was voted to the Major League Soccer All-Star team in 1996 and appeared in eight matches for the U.S. National Team. BASKETBALL Toronto player, Olajuwon, sidelined with thigh injury TORONTO — Toronto Raptors center Hakeem Olajuwon will be sidelined four to six weeks because of a strained right thigh, but he will not need surgery. Olajuwon will begin rehabilitation once the swelling subsides, the team said. Olajuwon was injured during the sec second quarter of Toronto's 106-97 victory over Orlando on Sunday. He left the game after scoring eight points. "I was going to play through it," Olajuwon said. "I just decided to tell the trainer that it was swelling. I was told how long it would take after the MRI, and I was surprised." Olajuwon had played 36 games this season, averaging 8.1 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.75 blocks. The 17-year veteran missed nine games from Dec. 19 to Jan. 6 with an infected toe. The Raptors went 6-3 in his absence. Keon Clark, who played well during Olajuwon's last stint on the injured list, will replace Olajuwon in the starting lineup. Clark was averaging 10.1 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.75 blocks. "I welcome the chance," Clark said. "Unfortunately, it had to come at Dream's loss." Toronto acquired Olaijuwon from Houston during the summer. No roster replacement had been announced. -The Associated Press BUDWEISER PRESENTS: $1 BOTTLE BEERS* SUNDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, & THURSDAY We Now Have TV's Watch the Games With Our Girls $2 JAGERS FRIDAY & SATURDAY Bada Bing!

The Jayhawks don't blow leads at the end of games. Kansas is 17-0 this season when leading at the intermission, and the team showed why against Missouri on Monday night at Allen Fieldhouse by turning a one-point halftime lead into a 105-73 blowout. The Jayhawks played so well in the second half against the Tigers, even coach Roy Williams, who almost always has a few negative things to say about his team's performance after games, had little to complain about after his squad dismantled Missouri. "The second half, we were sensational," Williams said. "We had two or three silly possessions and did some crazy things, but other than that, we were really good. In the second half, everything went right for us and wrong for them." Kansas outscored Missouri 62-31 in the second half. The squad held the Tigers' two leading scorers, Kareem Rush and Clarence Gilbert, to just nine points, and, at times, the Jayhawks showed signs of offensive brilliance after halftime. In the second half, the Jayhawks made 64.5 percent of their field goals, 75 percent from behind the three-point line and a sizzling 94.1 percent from the free throw line, which ranks as the eighth-best free throw percentage in the Williams era at Kansas. Opponents have outscolced the Hawks in the second half in only five of 20 games this season, with Oklahoma State being the only squad to do it in Big 12 Conference play. Kansas has scored 50 points after halftime six times this year. Williams said he was pleased with the way his team performed in the second half, but that didn't mean the team had reached its full potential. "I challenged them in the locker room after the game, saying, 'You should be able to play like that every game if you work your tails off every day in practice and use your brains.'" Williams said. "We were awfully good in the second half, but I challenge them to play like that for 40 minutes." Jayhawk junior forward Nick Collison said it allows the players' style of play that allows them to be so efficient in the second half. Kansas' ability to finish off teams should come as no surprise to opponents — the Jayhawks have been dominant in the second half of games all season. The only team able to come back against them, Tulsa, erased a 15-point deficit on Dec. 29 and still lost by 8 points, 93-85. "We've tried since day one to work on getting the ball quickly up the floor for baskets," Collison said. "That's just how we play. We figure, if we can go hard for 40 minutes, the team we're facing is going to get tired, maybe miss a man or two, and we can get some baskets that way." "I challenged them in the locker room after the game, saying, 'You should be able to play like that every game if you work your tails off every day in practice and use your brains." Missouri coach Quin Snyder agrees with Collison. He said the Jayhawks' fast-tempo offense wore down his team in the second half on Monday, especially the Tigers' big men, center Arthur Johnson and forward Travon Bryant. "A. J. and Travon had to do wind sprints with (Drew) Gooden and Collison just to keep up with them," Snyder said. "When you have that against Kansas, it can turn around and mean a 10-0 run." Despite the Jayhawks' second-half success this season, Williams said Kansas was not about to become overconfident. Roy Williams Kansas basketball coach "This team is too smart for that to happen," he said. "They are not going to get fat and happy. I am not the greatest coach in the world, but I can still find fault in the way we play." Contact Wasko at bwasko@kansan.com. This story was edited by Laurie Harrison. BASKETBALL CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B Baylor, an undefated Big 12 season is a possibility, but it won't be easy. Kansas hasn't had an undefeated conference season since Ted Owens' 1970-71 squad went 14-0 in Big Eight play — not to "That would be pretty tough," junior forward Drew Gooden said. "We know what we're capable of and we've showed people. We're playing the best basketball we can play." Williams has had two seasons with just one conference loss. During the 1996-97 season the lone loss was a 96-94 double overtime thriller at Missouri. The same thing happened the next season when the Tigers downed Kansas 74-73 in Columbia. mention the three wins they had against Missouri, Iowa State and Nebraska in the Big Eight Holiday Tournament — and went to the Final Four. know better than to take any games off. "This team's too smart," he said. "They're not going to get fat and happy. I'm not the greatest coach in the world, but I can find fault with a lot of things. When we come to practice Wednesday we're going to get after it. Williams knows the game at Missouri will probably be the toughest game before the post-season, but he said his players "They're bright. They know it's just seven games out of a 16-game schedule." Contact Pacey at ContactABCby dpacey@kansan.com. This story was edited by Justin Henning. WOMEN CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B both ended with two points and a combined seven rebounds. Sophomore Keila Beachem was the lone bright spot for the 'Hawks. She broke into the starting lineup again after a lengthy absence but was hampered early by foul trouble. Beachem tied a career-high with six points and grabbed a career-high 10 rebounds to lead the Jayhawks. Senior guard K.C. Hilgenkamp fought through flulike symptoms to end with 14 points, the lone Jayhawk in double-digits. Fatigue was an issue for Hilgenkamp, who appeared to be lacking leg strength, contributing to her 26 percent shooting for the game. As a team, the Jayhawks shot 24 percent in the contest.

We are an Equal Opportunity Employer 6B • THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN SPORTS WEDNESDAY, JAN. 30.2002 Bowling team enjoys striking success Despite final 14-pin loss, team happy with victories over No.1,No.2 teams By Stephanie Goettsch Kansan sportswriter Confidence, camaraderie, and consistency. These are the 3 C's of Kansas men's bowling and are the cornerstone of its success. These all-important factors helped the team to its most recent success last weekend, when it beat No. 1 Western Illinois and No. 2 Saginaw at the Blue and Gold Classic Tier 1 Tournament in South Bend, Ind. "We hung in with the elite college teams in the nation," coach Mike Fine said. "They came out with confidence and showed they have the ability to play with anybody." Against Wichita State, fourteen more pins would have clenched the overall win for the Kansas bowlers. "One of our biggest strengths is we bowl best under tougher conditions," said sophomore Marc D'Errico. He placed fourth individually with an average of 210 points per game. "At smaller tournaments, the averages are a lot higher. I think we have the advantage at more competitive tournaments because we perform better while other teams struggle," D'Errico said. The win last weekend was the latest in a string of solid performances for the team this season. Fine attributed the team's success the actual dynamics of the team in addition to confidence. "The players have really come together. They understand what each of them brings to the table in terms of skill and ability," Fine said. "They're all very unselfish. Although six men go to tournaments, only five bowl. There's a potential for team disharmony and we've avoided it." He also mentioned that the consistency of the team was a dominating factor. "The top six have been the same since the first tournament." Fine said. "They're familiar with each other's games and are improving across the board." "we all work really hard, but he's the one that pushes us and keeps us on our toes," D'Errico said of Fine. "I hope he's proud of us." Perhaps a fourth C should be added to the formula of success: coach. The team is focusing on one tournament at a time, but Nationals are always kept in view. "We have three guys who went to the Inter-Collegiate Bowling Championships last year. There is definitely a hunger and desire to get back and they have translated that to the other three." Fine said. The three veterans include D'Errico, junior Jesse James and senior Mike Keeler. The remainder of the top six include sophomore Alan Emmons, junior and Kansan staff member Jason Elliott and junior Ryan Ludwig. "We just need to keep our confidence high and use these upcoming tournaments as a tune-up for the rest of the year," D'Errico said. The Kansas men and women's teams advance their season at the ACU-I Region XI Tournament Feb. 9 to 10 in Manhattan. Contact Goettsch at gootstch@kansan.com.

Cancellation process looks at roads, buses before calling off class By Leah Shaffer ByLean Shaffer Kansan staff writer Today marks the second time since 1978 that two days of classes in a row were canceled because of inclement weather. Yesterday's cancellation of classes made Wednesday the first full snow day since 1993. The snow day, the ninth on record was triggered by freezing rain Tuesday night and a forecast for precipitation and freezing weather. Many KU officials are involved in the decision to cancel classes, said Lindy Eakin, associate provost for Support Services in the Office of the Provost. Hesaid that personnel in the Office of the Provost worked together to determine whether classes should be canceled. They relied on police agencies and the university's department of facilities and operations to advise them on the quality of the roads. However, Provost David Shulenburger makes the final decision to cancel. Eakin said. KU Snow Days Since 1972 After the provost decides to cancel class, he informs the Office of University Relations, which then makes an announcement to the public and the February 12th & 13th, 1978 February 7nd, 1983.

January 30th,2002 Often, the timing of the inclement weather is more of a factor than the amount. Eakin said. Source: Office of University relations "It's not how much snow. It's whether they can get the streets clear." he said. UNDSEY KILIANY/KANSAN Eakin said that the buses were often a litmus test as to whether class should be canceled. "If the buses aren't running then the streets aren't safe." he said. 1940 Dean Christy, facilities and operations construction supervisor, went out with his crew at 6:30 a.m. yesterday to clear the campus sidewalks and steps. "It's back-breaking work." Christy said. Facilities and operations personnel will work the rest of the week if winter storms continue as predicted. The winter storm warning the Dean Christy, facilities maintenance supervisor, clears the sidewalks on the streets of campus. He said the work was back-breaking, but he wanted to make sidewalks safe. National Weather Service issued for Lawrence Is in effect until this afternoon. The service predicted freezing rain changing to ice late today.

"We ended up inviting our friends over for an old-fashioned sleep over," Vocasek said. "We had movies, food and jammies — everything you need." Word of the snow day trickled through the student body after the University of Kansas announced its "Sledding is more fun on the ice," Tom Morefield said. The St. Louis, Mo. junior went out with several of his hallmates from Battenfeld Hall. "We had a little celebration at 11:50," Kim Tholen, Iola junior, said.

"We went sledding on the road, on Alumni Place," he said. "It was kind of dangerous because there were a lot of cars." Gil Akos, St. Louis, Mo., sophomore, spent the eve ning boarding. "Afterwards, we came back and had a rousing game of Monopoly until 4 a.m." Akos said. Other students ventured out. Ice covered everything Tuesday night, keeping Tosha Green, Lane junior, from enjoying her night of freedom. She didn't do anything except stay up a little bit later than normal because she didn't want to travel on the roads. Like any true sleep over, Fil Vocasek's party was still going Wednesday afternoon. Vocasek said if it snowed he and his friends would probably venture out to go sliding. "If it stays icy, though, we'll probably just stay inside and watch another movie," he said. 'Nobody could do anything,' Green said. 'The roads were frozen.' Contact Koerth at mkoorth@kansan.edu. This story was edited by Brooke Hesler. Course retakes are still available Bv Rachel Keeseee Kansan staff writer Students wanting to retake a course this semester to replace a D or F have additional time to do so. The Office of the University Registrar has extended the Add/Drop deadline from yesterday to the next day classes are in session because of canceled classes yesterday and today. However, James Carothers, interim associate professor in the Provost Office, said students should be aware the course retake policy, enacted in July 2001, included some restrictions. "Students hope they can fix everything by retaking any class, but that's not the case," Carothers said. "The original class had to be in the student's first 60 hours at KU. And the course has to have been taken in Fall 2001 or thereafter." The policy also applies to University of Kansas undergraduates and transfer students who want to replace a course they took in their first semester at KU. "All these provisions are to improve a student's skill in an academic area, not to assist a grade point average." Carothers said. a grade point Jason Hargett, Shawnee sophomore, said he met the qualifications for the course-repeat policy. "I'm very happy about it, particularly as a sophomore, since I'm still getting used to college," he said. "It's nice to say you can screw up once in a while." Hargett said he would use the policy next year for an introductory genetics class. "I've just been frustrated that I didn't work harder last semester and that I have to pay hundreds of dollars to take a class again." Hargett said. Joshua Wunderlich, Stilwell junior, said he was retaking classes without being able to replace his earlier grades. The classes he would like to replace he took before Fall 2001. "I'm retaking the classes anyway, Course retake requirements: The original grade must be D or F Only courses taken in Fall 2001 or after may be retaken. - The original grade must be D or F. - No more than five courses may be repeated.

No, According to the registrar's Web site, students can retake classes in a school with the dean of that school's approval, but the original class grade will still count toward their grade point average if the student doesn't apply for the retake policy. "I understand why there's limitations on it," he said. "It would probably get out of control if they let everyone do it." Wanderlich said he was pleased that other undergraduates would have the opportunity to replace their grades.

Jessica Tims Kansan staff writer Country legend on the road again; wows crowd Neither rain nor snow nor gloom of night could keep country superstar Willie Nelson from taking the Lied Center stage last night. As the lights dimmed, fans clapped and chanted "Willie." He took the stage dressed in black. As he fastened his red, white and blue guitar strap, the crowd greeted him with a standing ovation. Cheers only grew louder after Nelson traded a black cowboy hat for his trademark red bandanna. Nelson and his six-piece band played old favorites like "Mama Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys" and "Always on My Mind." They also played songs like "Maria (Shut Up and Kiss Me)" written by Matchbox 20 frontman Rob Thomas, from Nelson's new CD The Great Divide. PETER TURNER SARA SNEPHERD/KANSAN Between songs, the singer didn't talk and acknowledged audience applause with a simple thank you. Nelson arrived in Lawrence on Tuesday before the weather turned bad, said Fred Pawlicki, director of operations at the Lied Center. "If the artist is here and can go on, the show will not be canceled." he said. Nelson's hectic touring schedule was another reason the show was not canceled, Pawlicki said. "In the entertainment industry, routing is something they have to consider," he said. "He has a performance tomorrow in Omaha." The bad weather didn't stop Nelson's fans from seeing him live, although there was a sprinkling of empty seats. Michele Traband, box office manager at the Lied Center, said people were still calling for tickets yesterday afternoon. Willie Nelson performs for a sold-out crowd at the Lied Center last night. The concert was part of Nelson's tour to promote his new album. "Everyone that has called is still planning on coming from far away," she said. "The die-hard Willie fans are going to make it." And they did. Few seats at the sold-out venue where left unoccupied. John Hughes and his girlfriend, Katy Hamilton, drove from Overland Park to see the show. Hughes said he made the trek because "it's Willie Nelson. If he could make it, I could make it." INSIDETODAY Contact Tims at jjms@kansan.com. This story was edited by Gillian Titus.

Wisconsin freshman dies after giving birth The Associated Press EAU CLAIRE, Wis. — A college student died after giving birth in a dormitory bathroom as other students came and went, telling those who asked that she was OK, school officials said yesterday. The full-term baby was in critical condition. Karen Marie Hubbard, 19, was not breathing when a resident assistant at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire found her in a bathroom stall Tuesday night, said Charles Major, director of housing. She was pronounced dead at a hospital. Paramedics found the baby girl when they removed Hubbard from the stall. The cause of death was under investigation. But Eau Claire County Medical Examiner John Folstad said it was believed that Hubbard died of complications related to childbirth. Major said Hubbard's roommate noticed Hubbard had gained weight but didn't know she was pregnant. The roommate — whose name was not released — said Hubbard thought she was suffering from flu symptoms. "She even asked the roommate to maybe even go get her some Pepto-Bismol," Major said. "The roommate kept going in and out, asking how she was doing, if she needed help, if she needed anything. Karen kept saying, 'No, I am not feeling good. I am OK.'" Other students in the allwomen dorm heard noises and asked Hubbard if she was OK, but she told them that she thought she was just sick, Major said. "It's a very tragic situation," he said. "We just wish that the girl could've cried out for help at some point in time. Maybe this could have been avoided." Fewer deployed from Kansas base The Associated Press WICHITA, Kan. — Deployment of KC-135R tanker crews stationed at McConnell Air Force Base has been scaled back in recent weeks, and will likely not return to the pre-Sept. 11 status anytime soon, the base commander said. "Generally speaking, right now we've gone from about 25 percent of the base deployed to about 12 percent," said Col. Ron Ladnier. "We have a lot more folks at home now." About 500 members of the unit are still serving in various snots around the world. "This is probably going to be our 'steady state.'" Ladnier said. "We are going to have people deployed for some time to come." The refueling tankers from McConnell continue to fly daily missions in both the Mideast and the Far East, as well as over the continental United States, in support of combat and patrol missions, he said. A major planning session is set for the two units in February, and the 184th pilots will soon get "seat time" in tankers flown by the outfit while the 184th maintenance crews will work with their counterparts in the tanker wing. The 184th Bomb Wing will become the 184th Refuelling Wing, equipped with 10 KC-155s. Ball to raise money to recruit Merit Scholars The 2002 Rock Chalk Ball, which raises money to recruit future National Merit Scholars at the University of Kansas, will be tomorrow in Kansas City. The black-tie event is sponsored by the Greater Kansas City Chapter of the Kansas Alumni Association. Association members and past Merit Scholars receive tickets in exchange for a donation of $100 to $150 to the Merit Scholar fund. The ball raises money through ticket sales and auctions of KU memorabilia. "We hope to raise $110- 120,000 that will go toward the fund for rock chalk scholars," said Brenda Harden, event cochair. The theme of this year's ball is "Shake Your Teathers." The ball will start at 5:30 p.m. with a silent auction. There will be a full-course dinner and live auction at 8 p.m. followed by dancing with Neon Blue, the musical guest. The ball will take place at the Muehlebach Tower of the Marriott Downtown, 200 W. 12th St., Kansas City, Mo. This year 104 freshmen National Merit Scholars enrolled at KU. National merit scholars are chosen based on standardized test scores, academic success and extracurricular activities. — Meredith Carr STATE STATE No survivors found in small-plane crash ARKANSAS CITY. — No survivors have been found after a twin-engine plane crashed in southeast Kansas and burst into flames yesterday afternoon, authorities said. Witnesses reported seeing the plane fall from the sky about 2 p.m. and crash in a ravine surrounded by farmland about 10 miles east of Arkansas City, said Randy Leach, fire marshal with the Arkansas City Fire Department. The plane was destroyed when emergency workers and fire departments in Arkansas City and Winfield arrived at the scene. No bodies were found, Leach said. Cowley County Sheriff Bob O'Dell said the Federal Aviation Administration has been called to determine where the flight had come from and who was on board.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the conference, which starts today and ends Saturday at the University of Missouri. "It's a great opportunity to develop leaders," said Teresa Clounch, the organization's adviser and associate director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs. Clounch said the conference theme was "Upholding a Path of Leadership, Integrity, Fortitude and Talent." Clounch also said that the conference was a great opportunity for students to network and meet at workshops. Marcus McLaughlin, Kansas City, Kan., senior and the organization's treasurer, said those attending the conference would pay their own $24 registration. A combination of organization funds and money from Student Senate will help pay for the rest of the trip, he said. Mark Dupree, Kansas City, Kan. sophomore and the organization's president, said that attending the conference was one of the biggest events of the year for the organization. "One of the reasons that the Black Student Union exists is due to this conference," he said. Dupree said members attending were in great academic standing. Last year, KU played host to the conference. "We only take the best so we can bring back the best," he said. Contact Shafter at lshare@kansan.com. This story was edited by Gillian Titus.

MUCK FIZZOU KAG 20 KEVIN GRITZKE/KANSAN EDITORIAL Schools shouldn't decide whether interns get paid Many students must work in college to pay for school, bills or rent. Many students also want or need an internship on their resume when they graduate. It is difficult when schools and departments at the University of Kansas have different policies about internships for which students receive credit. Some schools or departments only give credit to an unpaid internship, while others give credit regardless of any money involved. With the current state of the economy and the highly competitive job market, students who have had an internship usually find it extremely valuable when looking for a job after graduation. Many students at KU have internships during the semester and summer for credit, which in turn helps them graduate. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences allows each department to set up its own guidelines on internships. The political science department gives credit to students who intern in Washington, D.C., for a summer or semester even if the internship is paid. Many students also intern in Topeka during the semester for three hours of political science credit. Whether the intern is paid or not, the credit is still given to the student. In the college, the communications studies department awards credit for internships, paid or unpaid. The internship must be arranged with an instructor, but does not have restrictions about pay. On the other hand, the School of Journalism only offers credit to students with unpaid internships. Students that have passed certain courses are allowed to receive credit for an internship or practicum. The student receives one credit hour for 40 hours of work or two credit hours for 80 hours of work. This can become tough for journalism students who need to work for money but also need journalism credits to graduate. The School of Business, like the School of Journalism, requires students to pass certain classes to receive credit for an internship. However, the School of Business also awards credit for paid internships. If a student is offered an internship, and the employer is willing to pay the intern, the student should not suffer because of the restrictions of certain schools. The School of Engineering also offers credit for some paid internships. It is unfair that a student may have to hold an internship and another job at the same time because of a school or department's requirements. Some students have received credit for an internship in another department or school because of the limitations set by their school. Moliv Mueller for the editorial board. Many students at KU have to work, and if they are not allowed to receive credit for a paid internship, they could pass up incredible internship opportunities. When it is vital for students to work and vital to have an internship on a résumé, is it really fair to allow such inconsistencies between schools? 'Kansan'report card Pass: - Snow days. If Mother Nature's going to abuse us with nasty weather, it's only right that we get out of class for a day. Kansas stomps Missouri.

PERSPECTIVE U.S. on thin ice with new war All right, I admit I had my doubts, but besides failing to capture Osama bin Laden, the Bush-Powell strategy in Afghanistan has panned out quite nicely. So far. The Taliban has been crushed, the Afghan people have their country back, and the war-torn country has its best chance for lasting peace in decades. The policy of striking the host country as well as the terrorists seems to have paid off. The more I watch the progress of "America's New War," the more I fear the ice is growing thin beneath our feet. What's next? Have we won yet? How do we know when we've defeated terrorism? The military says we're not there yet, and we hear rumblings of further action in the Philippines, Iraq or Somalia. COMMENTARY How long can we justify our actions and sustain the international support we've had for actions in Afghanistan? How long before we start looking like we're just using Sept. 11 to impose our foreign policies in ways we simply couldn't get away with before? In the Gulf War, the goal was kicking Part of what troubles me is the continued lack of a definition for terrorism. The "Powell Doctrine" for military action that formed during the Gulf War seems to have played well so far. First, get plenty of domestic and international support for the action to be taken. Second, respond with massive force. Third, clearly define your objectives and an exit strategy. David Grummon opinion@kansan.com Iraq out of Kuwait and disabling its military machine. When we did that, we knew we had won. But four months into the this new war, we still have no clear definition of what terrorism is and who is our enemy. How do we keep from slipping into an endless struggle like the "War on Drugs?" Will our precedent of attacking the host country of terrorists really stop the use of terrorism and bring about a more peaceful world? I get nervous when Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (already accused of being heavy-handed) and the leaders of India seem to borrow Bush's anti-terror rhetoric to justify escalating tensions in their regional conflicts. What is terrorism to one man may be freedom fighting to another. Just ask the Israelis and Palestinians; the Pakistanis and Indians in Kashmir; or the Irish Republican Army and the U.K. Beyond the foreign policy implications, I worry about the toll the war is taking on our democracy. What is happening with the thousand or so Arabs and Muslims in the United States being held without counsel or hearings? How much longer can our fears justify ignoring our rights? Is it so far fetched to think that a western civilized nation like us could never wrongly accuse or imprison people? Rent In the Name of the Father, a movie based on the true story of four Irish youth sentenced to life in prison by Britain for terrorist bombings they didn't commit. Under the auspices of a new anti-terrorism law passed in response to public pressure, all four are held for days without attorneys and were beaten and threatened into signing confessions. While movies don't prove civil rights abuses are happening right now, they can show the potential for serious violations of the Constitution. I once watched a scene from a science fiction flick in which a future Earth had been infiltrated by hostile shape-shifting space aliens. In the movie, officials declare martial law and suspend many of the civil rights enjoived by people across the globe.

PERSPECTIVE Students should seek harmony with nature This is a phrase common to the Lakota (mistakenly termed "Sioux"). Translated it means "all my relations," and in a nutshell, it deals with respect. "Mitakuve Ovasin." While many people interpret this phrase as referencing only the relationships of man, it is meant to encompass all that coexists on Earth. It refers not only to man, mammal, those that fly and those that swim. It crosses the invisible boundary and refers to what we term "nature." Every student in basic biology learns that plants are the primary source—the producers of the oxygen that humans need, yet it's often forgotten in our Consider the 1855 statement of Young Chief, a Cayuse: "The ground says, 'The Great Spirit has placed me here to produce all that grows on me, trees and fruit.' The same way the ground says, 'It was from me man was made.' The Great Spirit, in placing men on the earth, desired them to take good care of the ground and to do each other no harm."

Theresa Milk opinion@kansan.com On a similar note, plants need water. Think about all of the pollutants we pour down our drains every day, like bleach. People use bleach to keep whites white. But no one considers why it works. It breaks down the natural chemical bonds of organic material. It works well on clothes, but what is it doing to the soil in the meantime? Mankind, as self-proclaimed rulers over all other living things, needs to take a serious look at how our actions affect that which sustains us. We need to relearn the meaning of respect -- for each other and for all that lives. Luther Standing Bear, a renowned Lakota man, said in the late 1800s, "The old Lakota was wise. He knew that man's heart away from nature becomes hard; he knew that lack of respect for growing, living things soon led to lack of respect for humans too. So he kept his youth close to its softening influence." I look around me at the world today and find truth in those words. Now it's your turn to think about it.

THURSDAY,JAN.31,2002 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5A THE HISTORY OF AUSTRALIAN RULES FOOTBALL Australian-rules football is a physical contact sport. It is a form of football with its roots in early forms of Rugby and Gaeli football, but it is uniquely Australian. Its rules were standardized in 1859 and probably predate all other modern forms of football. Today it is a multi-million dollar business, with a national competition and numerous smaller leagues in Australia. Interest in the game is highest in Australia and has yet to take a firm hold overseas. If you would like more information about the K.C.

New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick picked Brady as the starting quarterback for Sunday's Super Bowl, choosing the former backup over three-time Pro-Bowl player Drew Bledsoe. Brady led New England to seven consecutive wins before spraining his left ankle Sunday in the AFC championship game. Bledsoe took over and led the Patriots into the Super Bowl with a victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Brady was confident he'd be ready, and Belichick decided after viewing tapes of Wednesday's practice that the second-ear pro was his choice. Brady, the AFC's third-rated passer, was 12- STAR 3 in his previous 15 starts after the Patriots lost the first two games of the season with Bledsoe at quarterback. Bledsoe was the starter until a crunching hit sheared a blood vessel in his chest in the second game of the season. Questions could linger long into the off season as coaches and club officials consider their options: Dump Bledsoe's big salary, explore a deal for the younger Brady, or keep both. 2.3.1.1 fresh ingredients homemade desserts family recipes Indo-tent atmosphere formerly Casablanca Cafe now under new management 2223 Suite C.

No, I'm not at the Hawk on a Thursday night. I'm attending a men's basketball game. Apparently these girls are confused as to where they are. Not to mention the fact that they are attending these games for all the wrong reasons. No wonder women are stereotyped when it comes to sports — look at some of these girls who attend the games. Now I realize that I myself am a girl, but I know what is acceptable or comfortable and what is not when it comes to sporting events. I know what to wear to be a part of the student section. I know when and what to yell at the appropriate times. And most importantly, I understand the rules of the game. JOHN NOWAK/KANSAN Second, good fans know the appropriate times to cheer. They know the rules of the game and can boo when needed, or become more enthusiastic about a big play. number of a good tan, number of a good tan, Number one, they wear Kansas attire. Especially at the Missouri game; the "sea of blue" looked fantastic from where I was sitting. First of all, I would like to point out the qualities of a good fan, female or male. Third, they religiously watch Sports Center, and know the facts about their favorite teams and players that average people would not. They are sports fans at all times, not just at the game of the week. On the other hand, there are people in the stands who don't deserve to be there. Here are examples of bad fans that I have seen. Sports fans exhibit these behaviors no matter where they are. Senior swimmer Molly O'Connor leads a busy lifestyle but always makes time for swimming. O'Connor is one of the swimming and diving team captains. Second — this one is to all the girls who stalk the players — don't scream out phrases such as "I love you" when your favorite player steps onto the court. First, I have seen a number of girls who think they're at the bars rather than at a Kansas game. They might think it's cute to wear tight clothing and boots, but seriously girls — don't any of you own a pair of Nikes? Dig out a Kansas T-shirt and support our school that way. The players aren't going to look at you up in the stands regardless of what you're wearing. Trust me, there is no need to dress like this at a basketball game. If you have to take off your shoes during the game because your feet hurt, you've made a poor decision in footwear. And even if they could, do you think they're going to respond back? I find it ridiculous when I hear girls around me squeal with delight not because Boschee hit a three, or Collison completed a play, but because they're "soooo cute" or "hot," or whatever the adjective of the moment is. Finally, know the game. Know the basic rules, the players, positions and any other key point to the game. This goes for any sporting event that any girl chooses to attend. I'll bet there is a handful of girls at these games that don't know the difference between a double-double and a double shot. If you don't know the game — or are merely coming to see your crush on the team — save it. Watch the game at home and give up your seats for the real fans. Until then, you're wasting space.

AUGUSTINE MILLER Swimmer stays busy, prepares for final meet By Ali Brox Kansan sportswriter Molly O'Connor is always supposed to be somewhere. She only has a few moments to make it from practice at Robinson Center to weights at Anschutz Sports Pavilion. And then there's the engineering club meeting that she should go to, but time is precious. Life is a balancing act for the senior who is majoring in civil engineering. "It's really hard to balance your time," O'Connor said. "You have to be pretty dedicated to do it. You go to class all day, then you have practice, then you have to study. It's constant, like you're always trying to make a deadline." O'Connor moved to Ohio from Vermont when she was in the fifth grade. Her mother thought swimming at the local YMCA would be a good way for the 10-year-old to make some new friends, so she signed her daughter up - without even asking. "My mom basically made me start swimming," O'Connor said. "She said, 'You're joining the swim team." "Personally, I just want to finish on a good note and swim my best times.I want to leave with a good memory of swimming and have my best meet be my final meet." Molly O'Conno Ohio,senio O'Connor knew she wanted to go far away from home for college, so after the questionnaire came from Kansas, she made the trip to Lawrence and O'Connor was sold. "I came on a trip to see what it was like and I ended up liking it," O'Connor said. O'Connor is one of three captains on the swimming and diving team. According to coach Cathy Burgess, that only seems natural. "Molly is a naturally chosen leader among her peers," Burgess said. "People look to her to lead. She's an engineering student and academically she's always on top." O'Connor is looking forward to her final home meet on Feb. 2. Her parents, John and Nancy, will both be in attendance. "I'm really excited because both my mom and dad are going to be here," O'Connor said. "Plus, it's the last one, and it's always fun to swim at home." O'Connor wants her swimming career to end positively for both the team and individually. "For team goals, I want us to have our best year at conference that we've ever had and place the highest," O'Connor said. "Personally, I just want to finish on a good note and swim my best times. I want to leave with a good memory of swimming and have my last meet be my best meet." O'Connor still plans to be at the pool next fall. Although she won't be competing, she hopes to help out with the team while finishing her degree. "Molly is one of our most consistent trainers in the pool," Burgess said. "She's been consistent for us all four years." Contact Brox at abrox@kansan.com. This story was edited by Jeremy Clarkson. Aussie-rules football offers different game than U.S. version By Jeremy Krashin Kansan sportswriter "I can almost guarantee they would be on the field immediately," said Kirk Kirkpatrick, Power member, of anyone who would decide to join. The Kansas City Power, a member of the United States Australian Rules Football League, would like to give students at the University of Kansas the opportunity to find out what it takes to compete in an Australian-rules football team. The league consists of teams from St. Louis, Cincinnati, Nashville, Tenn., and Chicago. However, the Power has competed against teams from all over the countrv. Australian-rules football players range from ages 18 to 50 and vary in both height and weight. "There is a place in this game for big guys and small alike," said Kirkpatrick. "There are positions for all different sizes of people." In the past, the players paid for most of the expenses themselves. Two new sponsors are paying travel costs this year, but players will still pay for all other expenses. Andrew Gauci, Melbourne, Australia senior, said Australian-rules football was his country's biggest sport. He said the players could only run three steps without dribbling the round ball and scored points by kicking the ball — which is slightly smaller than a rugby ball through two posts. "It's as big in Australia as basketball is here at KU," Gauci said. The Power is in need of players, Kirkpatrick said. Sam Hopkins, Prairie Village freshman, said he had been exposed to the game before. "It is similar to ultimate frisbee," Hopkins said. "Also, you can pass by using a hand ball, which is when you hold the ball with one hand and punch it to a team member." Games and practices are played at Swope Park in Kansas City, Mo. Anyone interested in joining the team should contact Kirkpatrick at (816) 588-7702 or www.kcpower.com. Contact Krashin at sports@kansan.com. This story was edited by Kyle Ramsey. Jayhawks hope to rebound from losing skid By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter For the Kansas women's basketball team, everything seems to be going wrong as it is stuck in the rut of a nine-game losing streak. The injury bug has grabbed two key players this season. First it was freshman guard Blair Waltz, who missed four Big 12 Conference games with a stress fracture in her right foot. But injured players aren't the only thing plaguing the team this year — shooting and rebounding have been spotty as well. When the team is shooting well, it's not rebounding well. When the team's rebounding well, the shooting turns dismal. Now, just as Waltz is getting healthy, Sharonne Spencer became the next victim. The sophomore forward bowed out early in the second half of Tuesday night's game against No. 17 Colorado after suffering a knee injury. And when both are going well, as in the case of the Jan. 23 game against Kansas State, the opponent is just too talented to overthrow. Coach Marian Washington has said time after time that this year's squad lacks the tools to succeed when not all the cylinders are running. Against Oklahoma State last Saturday, the jayhawks (5-17 overall, 0-9 in the Big 12) were killed on the glass. The Cowgirls out-rebounded Kansas 48-26, including 20 on the offensive end. It was the fourth time this season that Kansas had been out-rebounded by more than 20 boards. "We let them out-muscle us," said Nikki White following Saturday's 25-point loss. "Maybe we underestimated how strong they were. I'm not sure." The rebounding got significantly better Tuesday night at Colorado, but Kansas was still out-rebounded 46-39 by the Buffaloes. While senior centers White, 6-foot-3, and Kristin Geoffroy, 6-6, had the height to match up with Colorado, they still combined for just seven rebounds. Sophomore forward Keila Beachem, considerably shorter at 6-0, led the 'Hawks with 10. Even though it wasn't perfect, rebounding turned out to be Kansas' strong point as the Jayhawks had another off shooting night. In the first half of Tuesday's 80-41 loss, the Jayhawks scored just 12 points on 19.4 percent shooting. The Jayhawks, with five of their seven remaining regular season games coming against Top 25 teams, return to action on Saturday at 1 p.m. when they travel to No.4 Oklahoma.

SEE PAGE 2B Tasting sushi Japanese food brings rich history, flavors to Lawrence area JAPAN AARON SHOWALTER/KANSAN By Mandalee Meisner Jayplay writer Sushi chef Richard Moon stands behind the glass counter at Kokoro, a Japanese restaurant in Lawrence, picking up handfuls of rice and deftly shaping them into oblong pieces. His green and black bamboo-print figure bends slightly as he peers at the range of brightly colored fish spread behind the counter. He extracts some salmon, tuna and eel -and then carefully slices a thin laver of each to drape over the rice pieces. Eventually, a platter emerges with six or seven neatly-spaced pieces of nigiri-sushi — a very welcome sight to his customer, KU graduate student Nanker Parker. graduate student Furke Pankow "I was only in Japan for two weeks, but it was long enough for me to get a really good taste for sushi," he said, gripping a piece between his chopsticks. Parker gives most of his attention to eating the bite-sized delicacies arranged in front of him, but turns his head and laughs when asked how Lawrence sushi compares to that he ate in Japan. "Let's be honest," he said, grinning. "We're about as far away from the ocean as possible." Indeed, the prospect of dining on raw seafood is a daunting — if not unthinkable — proposition to many, especially in the heartland of America. Sushi in Kansas is literally a fish out of water. But with the recent opening of Wa Restaurant, a stylish establishment at 740 Massachusetts St. that serves Japanese-style dishes — along with the availability of sushi at other eating establishments — may be reconsidering the somewhat unjustified stigma of sushi. Sashimi is actually the literal translation of "raw fish" in Japanese. The word sushi refers to the culinary marriage of vinegar and rice. When sashimi and sushi are combined, the result is nigiri-sushi — sliced fish covering a little pad of rice, often dabbed with green wasabi paste and dipped in soy sauce by customers. The fact Kansas is far from oceans and seas brings the question of how fresh is the fish used in Lawrence restaurants, but neither Wa nor Kokoro has had any complaints. "The fish we serve is frozen-fresh." Moon, the sushi chef, said. "This means that right after catching the fish on the boat, they freeze it and then ship it to us. Since it's frozen, it tastes differently than fresh fish, but many people actually prefer it." But American audiences aren't always completely sold on the concept of sushi. But the ever-popular California Roll is a fully Americanized version of maki-sushi—with ingredients that would satiate the wariest of sushi patron: cucumber, avocado and crab or shrimp, both cooked. Ryang Hwangbo, a sushi chef who sells boxes of already prepared sushi at Target and Hy-Vee in Lawrence, said his biggest seller was, by far, the California roll. "It appeals more to American tastes," Hwangbo said. "But it's not real Japanese sushi. Sushi is simple and strait, and the Japanese would never combine those three ingredients." Another issue of authenticity is raised with the way sushi is eaten — and naved for — in America. In Japan, "if you go to a very authentic sushi bar, you can spend 100 bucks very easily." Yoko Numata, a KU graduate student from the Tokyo area, said. "But in kaiten-sushi bars, where sushi go around on a conveyor belt in front of you, it's very cheap." Although these inexpensive cafes are becoming increasingly popular in Japan, American audiences haven't exactly embraced the fast-food side of sukii, but things may easily change. Hwangbo imagines opening a McDonald's style sushi drive-through in Lawrence sometime—a step beyond kiten-sushi. "People would drive up to the window and ask for the No.1 special," he said. "Then I'd say, 'California roll, coming right up!'" Contact Meisner at jayplay@kansan.com. This story was edited by Cassio Furtado. Chef Richard Moon explains the technique he uses to prepare sushi at Kokoro Japanese restaurant, 601 Kasold Dr. Kokoro offers more than 50 varieties of *Nigiri* and *Maki* sushi. *Nigiri* sushi (Below). *Maki* sushi (far bottom). 10 Sushi eqtiquette Always eat nigiri-sushi with chopsticks, and never pass pieces of sushi from one set of chopsticks to another. This resembles a funereal ritual in Japan where the bones of ancestors are passed from one relative to the next and is frowned upon when dining. Sushi can be eaten with fingers at the bar; but not at a table. With nigiri-sushi, always dip it fish-side down into the soy sauce. If you soak the rice, the sushi will lose its subtle flavor and shape. Put it fish-side down in your mouth so the flavor of the fish lingers on your tongue. - Never drink sake with the meal always drink it beforehand. Green or another unsweetened tea is said to go best with sushi. Sliced ginger (the light pink stuff) and wasabi (green stuff) should be eaten in moderation. Eat the ginger in between individual sushi pieces to cleanse the palate, and put a dab of wasabi (a hot Worcestershire sauce) on the fish for flavor. Willie Nelson his guitar share history together By Brad Weiner Jayplay writer Last night Willie Nelson not only brought his family to the Lied Center, he also brought his greatest friend Trigger, the dilapidated guitar he acquired in 1969. No other instrument in popular music has as much popularity as Trigger, with the possible exception of B.B. King's darling Lucille. Once in 1970, he ran into a burning building to retrieve both the instrument and a stash of marijuana, two items he considered prized possessions. Trigger is an acoustic/electric Martin classical guitar with gut strings. The combination of the classical woodwork and the electric pickups give Nelson the soothing twang that is his trademark sound. Dozens of stories involve Trigger, which is named after Roy Rogers' trusty sidekick. More recently, he hid Trigger at his manager's house to avoid its confiscation and sale by the IRS. When Nelson was asked what gives Trigger its personality, Nelson responded, "old age, abuse and having a lot of beer poured on it." Contact Weiner at bweiner@kansan.com.

Gene and Dean Ween rented a beach house to write and record this somewhat nautically-themed album that runs a miraculously cohesive gamut of pseudomystical sea chantees, acoustic folk tunes and overblown progrock numbers.

Megan Bainum mbainum@kansan.com For better or worse — depending on who you ask — sex is back in the University Daily Kansan. And now, it's better than ever. Thanks to the Kansan's new relationship columnist, James Manning. I can write about what I like — sex. Who you choose to have sex with doesn't concern me. Whether you should buy this person a birthday gift, I will not know. It's not Schnookums I'm concerned with, but snogging, kissing and fondling I work with. So, with that in mind, it's fairly safe to say that this column might get a little spicy. Maybe too spicy for some tastes — bland as vanilla for others. There will be words such as vagina, penis, spank and butt in this column, which means that if you want to read about stuff like sex toys, anal sex, fetishes and exercises that men and women can do to either have a porn-star money shot or hard-core vaginal muscle, you better not miss a week. If, however, the very thought of lustful, immoral college students having smokin' hot sex makes you smokin' hot mad, well, here's what I have to say. This column is to help KU students have great, safe sex—be it straight, gay, solo or multi-partnered—and to promote sex as being healthy and normal. Because college students get down and freaky sometimes, even if nobody wants to admit it. It's fun, and what else is there to do with long, cozy snow days? Believe it: College students are long, copyrighted. According to a playboy.com poll of more than 11, 000 college students, 65 percent of college women use vibrators. 56 percent have had a sexual experience with another girl and 86 percent have taken nude photos for a lover — naughty naughty. experimenting with sex. naughty naughty. As for the men, 56 percent have had sex with someone they just consider a friend, and 24 percent have had their genitals pierced — youch. Exploring sex is part of growing up. It's part of wanting more in an experience than sticking tab A into slot B. Hopefully, some things you read about in this column will tempt you enough to give them a try. But if relationship advice or religious counseling about virginity is what you need,you might not find it here. That said, this column should reflect the real sex that is going on at KU. Though I have been having sex at KU for almost four years now, and have been researching and reading about sex for most of my life, I would love to hear your ideas for columns and your own questions about sex and sexuality — you know you have them Or, just keep picking up the Kansan on Thursdays to add a little heat to these cold winter days, or to give you something to think about during that Western Civilization lecture. College is the time to explore and have fun while being smart enough to understand the importance of protection. And this column will be a place sex and sexuality will be supported, explored and enjoyed. ported, explained So get ready and change your sheets, because it's going to be a fun semester. Meghan's back! Contact her at mbainun@kansan.com. You know you want to. Satisfying sex life demands clear communication COMMENTARY POLICE James Manning jmanning@kansan.com Lately people have been offering me a lot of sex advice to help me write better columns to aid readers' sex lives. While I am appreciative of most of the tips, some of them are a little off the wall. Take, for instance, the guy who told me ways to please a woman longer. I expected to hear about prolonged foreplay or perhaps ways to make the woman feel special. Instead, he told me he imagined one of the Golden Girls while having sex. No, I am not making that up. I too thought he was kidding to see how I'd react, but this guy was dead serious. He pictured Estelle Getty in the middle of sex to delay ejaculation. How would this make his girlfriend feel? (How would this make Estelle Getty feel?) I shared this story with some of my guy friends and, surprisingly, they thought he was on target. They don't picture Dorothy, Rose, Blanche or Sophia, but they said they have thought of sports, eating dinner or even their mothers. I'm open-minded, but that's sick. A college-aged male should not be thinking about his mother while his naked flesh is pressed next to someone else's naked flesh. So why didn't these guys try better foreplay? Their exact responses went something like this: "My girlfriend's weird about that," one friend said. "She gets a little freaked out when I go downstairs." Another friend said his girlfriend was also uncomfortable about oral sex. "She doesn't get off on it and stuff. I even talk dirty to her like in the movies," he said. "Girls are weird about sex like that," the third friend added. "They're just weird in general." They're just too smart. I love my friends, but I don't always understand them. I tell them to talk to their girlfriends about how to make their sex better, but they all shunned the idea. They say it's embarrassing. Talking about the sexual experience not only allows the actual experience to be better, but the talk itself can be sexy. Communication is an essential part of a healthy sexual relationship. So if you're a guy, the next time you're having sex, stop to examine the look in the other person's eyes. If boredom is there, try slowing things down and have a nice talk. And ladies, if your partner isn't considerate enough to take care of your needs, take it into your own hands and begin the communication process. That is advice everyone can benefit from - even your mother. Contact Manning at jmanning@kansan.com. Teacher creates Brazilian-inspired dance troupe By Julie Jantzer Jayplay writer Eluza Maria Santos is at the University of Kansas by invitation from the University's Dance Division.

"I usually pull some creativity from my dancers." Santos said. "I accept anything as a good idea." Santos' dance style is inspired by her Brazilian culture and Brazilian martial arts called "capoeira." SARA SHEPHERD/KANSAN Eluza Mario, a guest choreographer for the University Dance Company, demonstrates a routine to company members Sunday at Robinson Center. Her piece, titled "Quente, Caliente ...

But as 1 Am Sam, which opened nationwide last Friday, drug into its second hour, the enthralled audience member beside me began outright bawling. Eventually, the crying spread like wildfire, consuming almost everyone in sight. Sean Penn stars as Sam Dawson, an abandoned father trying to raise a small child alone. Dawson faces all the same challenges as any single father, with one extra problem. Sam has the IQ of a 7-year-old and his bright daughter Lucy (Dakota Fanning) is about to surpass him intellectually. Soon the issue is raised: Can Sam provide the kind of care and support that Lucy will need not only in childhood, but also as his daughter approaches adulthood? COMMENTARY COMMENTARY Nicole Roche nroche@kansan.com Sam enlists the help of Rita (Michelle Pfeiffer), a pricey, self-serving lawyer who only agrees to work pro bono in an attempt to impress her colleagues. But Sam's plight is so convincing that he becomes endearing to Pfeiffer's character and to the audience as well. This movie not only tugs at your heart strings, it manipulatively rips them from your chest and stomps on them. Contact Roche at nrroche@kansan.com. Photographs show students' passion By Meghan Brune Jayplay writer Smail-scale exhibits put on by the Fine Arts Committee are tucked into the Kansas Union gallery on the fourth floor, tempting passersby to enter. Paul Vancleave, Lawrence freshman and transfer student, was intrigued by the colorful photographs currently on display. "I just noticed the gallery and had some time between classes," he said. Italy Exhibit runs through today and contains photographs of 14 students from last summer's Design Study Abroad program in Italy. Many of the students in the show are Industrial and Interior Design majors, but several pursue different areas of study. Twenty students and two professors one of photography and one of Industrial Design participated in the program. Tom Brantman, Overland Park junior in Industrial Design, wanted to capture the mood of the city. "The people are as colorful as the buildings." Brantman said.

Elvis inspires locally produced documentary By Donovan Atkinson Jayplay writer Each year in Memphis, Tenn., a week-long celebration of Elvis' life draws fans, Elvis impersonators and anyone interested in the King. Geoff Harkness, a Lawrence graduate student in sociology, experienced Elvis Week during a road trip in 1997, and in August 2000 he had an idea inspired by the celebration. "I thought it would be a wonderful documentary," Harkness said. "Sort of the Trekkies of Elvis." Elvis Week is Harkness' third film and was shot during a period of five daws. Kepler Miner, Lawrence graduate student in education, was a member of Harkness' production crew. "His approach to film making is rather genius — let the film make itself — and it did," Miner said Even though the turn-out for Elvis Week 2000 was not as high as 1997, the 20th anniversary of Elvis' death, the crew still found plenty of "nonstop Elvis madness" to film. However, Harkness soon found interviewing fanatics and impersonators to be boring. "We decided that what maybe we should do is go into the bad parts of town and ask people there what they thought of Elvis," he said. Harkness took his crew to Hollywood, a notorious ghetto within Memphis. The crew interviewed Jacqueline Smith, a woman who was evicted from the Lorraine Motel when it was turned into the National Civil Rights Museum. Smith had been living outside the hotel since 1988, protesting the museum. "After seeing a lot of 'dedicated' Elvis fans out there and what they were all about and then finding Jacqueline Smith, and she kind of put a new perspective on what dedication is," Miner said. "Ultimately, the message, if there's a message to it, is that there's more important things to devote your life to than Elvis," Harkness said. After the documentary was completed, Harkness and his production team took the film to the International Documentary Film Festival in Amsterdam. Harkness noticed a difference between his film and the others. "Everybody over there was networking and passing out copies of their film and big posters," Harkness said. "And we had nothing. We just went over there with nothing." Despite having "nothing," 19 distribution companies looked at Elvis Week. Of two offers made for the distribution rights, Harkness accepted an offer from 10 Francs, a French company that sells films to television stations around the world. The company purchased the distribution rights for five years. Elvis Week is currently in the process of being mastered and features the music of Lawrence and area bands.

On Tuesday, the Lawrence City Commission will vote on whether to allow University of Kansas students to live within city limits. "Those college kids ruin everything," said Mike Pelger, a community activist. "They have parties that wake up neighbors, they increase traffic problems and, in groups of three or more, terrify the elderly." Pelger, a life-long Lawrence resident, heads Concerned Residents Against College Kids, a group that CRACK has complained in the past about the residence halls and beer cans littering the student ghetti. aims to get students out of town. "Putting out-of-control kids in large groups is like putting a powder keg next to a fire." Pelger said. Mayor Mike Rundle said today's kids weren't the same as when he was a KU student in the 1970s. "We were much more peace-loving back then," said Rundle, a manager at The Community Mercantile Co-op, 900 Iowa St. "We did stuff like starting the Lawrence Barn Dance Association and have peace rallies. Now these kids just want to throw their trash everywhere."

Pelger's movement has seen little opposition because of the political apathy of college students. "Aguy really wants all the students out of Lawrence, for real?" he said. "Are you blowin' smoke up my ass? What a cranky old fart." apart from Jimmy "Kegger" Cardon, Dodge City sophomore, was surprised at CRACK's motives.

"Then she starts showing us all these different ways to say words we already know, but in ways I've never seen before. It's like she's trying to teach us a different language or some crap." Smithson wasn't alone in his troubles. Many students were confused by the replacement of familiar words with different-sounding words. Bend junior. "I mean, that's enough Spanish for me." "I thought we were just going to learn stuff like 'taco' and 'guacamole,'"said Janet Huffey, Great words. Natalia Calderon, Granada, Spain, graduate teaching assistant in Spanish, said learning another language would open students' minds. "You'll be able to meet new people, go new places and understand the menu at Taco Bell," she said. "Si, se puede." Smithson said he definitely would not be learning any new languages. "I can't tell if she's trying to be funny or if she doesn't like us, but this has got to stop," he said.
