Ice storm leaves mess
Crews work long days to clean up campus, city
By Rachel Keesee Kansan staff writer
This week's ice storm kept KU students off campus, but not Facilities Operations.
Butch Larios, management systems analyst for KU Facilities Operations, has been working around the clock with his crew to keep the campus as safe as possible
Road safety has been a concern as well.
"Streets, sidewalks, handicap ramps, parking lots—anything that has ice and snow, they're working on it," Larios said.
Lt. Don Crowe, of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, said that only five highway accidents have happened since Tuesday night.
"Everybody's driving like they should." he said.
But ice-covered tree branches have caused other problems by knocking out power lines across the city.
The Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical reported that it responded to 197 calls for service between 7 a.m. Wednesday and 7 a.m.yesterday. Most calls were for downed or arced power lines and fallen tree branches.
More than 4,800 people in Lawrence are without power, said Cynthia McCarvel, Westar Resources spokeswoman.
"We restored power to more than
8,100 customers in Lawrence since midnight Wednesday." she said. "We have had many more customers without power throughout the day."
McCarvel said it was not possible to determine when all the power would be restored.
Because of the power outage, the Lawrence Community Building, 115 W. 11th St., was open overnight for people needing shelter, said Paula Phillips, director of Douglas County Emergency Management.
"We have people who don't have any other options," she said. "People who are without power at home need a place to go to get warm."
Lisa Patterson, City of Lawrence communications director, said people who were staying home without power needed to take precautions.
"If you're in a home without heat, you need to consider water pipes and safety, such as candles and fire," Patterson said.
George Blevins, distribution superintendent for Lawrence,said small water leaks were common in cold weather, but worn pipelines could cause safety problems.
An old waterline burst yesterday at about 6 a.m. in front of Stauffer-Flint Hall, he said.
The line, which belongs to the city, runs under Jayahawk Boulevard.

Facilities Operations has been working hard to clear snow, trees. ice
By Caroline Boyer Kansan staff writer
T. J. Reyes' list of things to do just kept getting longer and longer.
Since Tuesday night, Reyes, maintenance supervisor, and the rest of Facilities Operations have been working around the clock to clear off the snow and ice on campus.
"There's probably been three or four people every day calling in sick or saying they have car troubles," Reyes said.
This has been complicated by a lack of workers.
Keyes said only about half of the snow-clearing equipment had been used because there weren't enough operators to run all the equipment.
Doug Riat, director of Facilities Operations, said even though they had been
"It's been great that classes were canceled and staff weren't here because it's allowed us to get into a lot of areas."
"It's been great that classes were canceled and staff weren't here because it's allowed us to get into a lot of areas," Riat said.
short-handed, work had gone smoothly.

Author shares fond memories of Hughes
By Leah Shaffer
Kansan staff writer
Alice Walker began her lecture on the legacy of Langston Hughes on a musical note. Last night at the Lied Center, about 1,500 people watched as the Pulitzer Prize winning author took
out a small xylophone and began to play a quiet tune.
a quiet table.
"I could not think of coming and talking to you tonight without playing him some music," she said.
Walker said that she and Hughes became acquainted when she was a student in New York. They met after a

teacher sent one of Walker's stories to him and he liked it.
"To my surprise, Langston wanted to publish it." Walker said.
"His success was that he had developed in himself an ultimate kindness," she said.
The program, which was free to the public, was sponsored by the Hall Center for the Humanities and the Office of the Chancellor.
Steve Mueller, St. Louis junior, said he enjoyed Walker's optimistic attitude.
"I didn't really know what to expect," Mueller said. "I was pretty overwhelmed by just her sense of optimism. That's a pretty unique viewpoint."
Earlier in the show, Ormer Rodgers Jr., district manager of the District Office Postal Service in Kansas City, Mo., unveiled a new commemorative postage stamp in honor of Hughes.
The stamp, which features a black and white picture of Hughes taken in New York, commemorates the 25th anniversary of the Black Heritage stamp series and Hughes' centennial birthday.
After Rogers unveiled the stamp, Chancellor Robert Hemenway introduced Walker.
"I enjoyed the close contact she had with the audience," said Sarah Lawton, Lenexa senior.
Walker read Hughes' poetry and answered questions from the audience. The questions ranged from dealing with racism to what her favorite flowers are
Stacey Redding, Alma junior, said she was impressed by Walker's lack of pessimism.
"She's got an inspirational attitude," Redding said.

Architecture student to make Union's model of campus current for '02
By Adam Pracht Kansan staff writer
JILLIAN THORPEK
Dan Bradbury, Wichita junior, will give the entire campus a facelift by August.
But the campus Bradbury is updating fits on top of a table.
The model of the University of Kansas displayed in the Kansas Union has been a memorable landmark for prospective students and alumni since it was built in 1962.
JILLIAN THORPE/KANSAN
Bradbury will change the model to reflect the campus' current appearance.
Dan Bradbury, Wichita junior, leans over a diorama of the KU campus. Bradbury, an architecture student, has been commissioned to update the model of the campus.
Passerbys can watch Bradbury work on the model at its new location on the Union's third floor.
Bradbury said he was glad to work on a project with so much history.
"Students like us may not realize how much sentimental value that model has to previous students since it was first done so far back," he said.
Bradbury said he noticed the model during his first year at the University.
"When I first saw it as a freshman I thought, 'I can improve that,' he said.
Bradbury said he had always been interested in architecture.
"Ever since I was a little kid I would

Kansas City area left cold, powerless
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Kansas City-area residents stocked up on flashlights and cooking gas yesterday as they bundled up for a cold night without power or heat.
Freezing rain and sleet coated trees Wednesday and yesterday, their ice-laden limbs snapping and cracking as they fell to the ground, pulling power lines with them.
Utility crews called in help from Minnesota to Texas as they worked round-the-clock
to restore power to at least 254,000 households in northwest Missouri.
Even so, power companies warned that it could be as many as seven days before some people's lights come on.
Bill Dowling, Kansas City Power & Light vice-president, called the storm "the most devastating storm we have ever experienced in our 120-year history."
Frustrated repair crews fixed lines only to see overwhelmed branches tear them down again.
Overnight lows were predicted in the upper teens cold enough to be dangerous for anyone without heat.
Authorities blamed at least three deaths on the weather: Christopher D. Moles, 31, of Harrisonville died of carbon monoxide poisoning yesterday morning after running a gasoline-powered generator in his garage, one person died after a fall in a Kansas City suburb, and a crash in northeast Missouri killed a Quincy, Ill., woman.
Kansas Gov. Bill Graves declared a state of emergency for 21 counties, stretching from
southern to northern Kansas, activating the state's disaster response.
Snow, sleet and freezing rain left tens of thousands of Kansans without electricity. Virtually all schools in the area called off classes yesterday for the second straight day.
Missouri Gov. Holden also declared a state of emergency, giving west-central and northern Missouri access to state help in digging out.
Holden's declaration could eventually lead to federal disaster relief money.

Legislation reviewed to protect consumers
TOPEKA — A Senate committee is reviewing legislation to crack down on those who profit-eer after a disaster, but one member saw it as unnecessary and even "crazy."
A committee hearing on the hill was scheduled for today.
The bill before the Judiciary Committee would amend the Consumer Protection Act to make it illegal to increase the price of necessary goods and services after a disaster. Individuals or businesses that violate the act would face civil lawsuits from the attorney general or local prosecutor and would be fined if found guilty.
The legislation, from Sen. Derek Schmidt, R-Independence, is a response to a run on gasoline and a spike in prices on Sept. 11. In a few locations, prices were as high as $5 a gallon, and long lines led to some alterations.
NATION Harvard to pay workers more than living wage
BOSTON—Harvard University President Lawrence Summers said Wednesday that the university would raise wages of its lowest-paid workers, an issue that sparked campus protests last year.
He said the school would adopt a "parity wage" plan with the goal of increasing the salaries of several hundred custodians, security workers and dining hall employees to between $10.83 and $11.30 an hour—higher than the $10.50 "living wage" demanded by students who occupied the president's office for three weeks last spring.
Harvard plans to complete the new policy by March 31 at a cost of about $3 million.
Red Cross to distribute Sept. 11 relief funds
NEW YORK — The American Red Cross expects to collect $850 million in its terrorist attack relief fund and plans to disburse 90 percent of the money by Sept. 11,2002, charity officials said yesterday.
The Red Cross said it already had distributed $490 million to victims' families,people who lost their homes or jobs because of the terrorist attacks,and disaster-relief services.
Former Sen. George Mitchell was appointed by the Red Cross in December to oversee a plan to disburse the final $360 million in the Liberty Fund.
Mitchell said he met with several victims groups, other charity groups, Red Cross donors and government officials to figure out how to best use the money.

Willie Nelson on the road again plays concert at Lied Center
Neither rain nor snow could keep country superstar Willie Nelson from taking the Lied Center stage Wednesday night.
the lights dimmed, fans clapped and chanted "Willie." The crowd greeted him with a standing ovation. Cheers grew louder after Nelson traded a black cowboy hat for his trademark red bandana.
Nelson and his six-piece band played old favorites along with songs from Nelson's new CD, The Great Divide.
Between songs, the singer didn't talk and acknowledged audience applause with a simple thank you.
Nelson arrived on Tuesday before the weather turned bad, said Fred Pawlicki, director of operations at the Lied Center.
Michele Traband, box office manager at the Lied Center, said people were still calling for tickets Wednesday afternoon.

Yesterday marked the second time since 1978 that two days of classes in a row were canceled because of inclement weather.
Wednesday's cancellation of classes was the first full snow day since 1993.
Freezing rain and a forecast for precipitation and freezing weather triggered the cancellations.
Many University of Kansas officials are involved in the decision to cancel classes, said Lindy Eakin, associate provost for support services in the Office of the Provost.
He said 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 road quality.
Provost David Shulenburger makes the final decision to cancel, Eakin said.
After the provost decides to cancel class, he informs the Office of University Relations, which then makes an announcement to the public and the news media by 5:30 am.
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.

"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."
some restrictions.
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.
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, because I need them for my major," he said.
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 would still count toward their grade point average if students don't apply for the retake policy.
For a list of course-retake regulations, go to the registrar's Web site at http://www.registrar.ku.edu/repeat/rules.s.html.

Black Student Union to attend Big 12 conference on government
This year is the 25th for the conference, which started yesterday and ends tomorrow at the University of Missouri.
Despite the weather, 60 members of the University of Kansas' Black Student Union are planning on traveling today to Columbia, Mo., to attend the Big 12 Conference on Black Student Government.
"It's a great opportunity to develop leaders," said Teresa Clousebun, 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."
Students wanting to retake a course this semester to replace a D or F have additional time to do so.
Marcus McLaughlin, Kansas City, Kan., senior and the organization's treasurer, said those attending the conference would pay their own $24 registration fee. A combination of organization funds and money from Student Senate will help pay for the rest of the trip, he said.
Cloum also said that the conference was a great opportunity for students to network and meet at workshops.
Course retake deadline extended; policy still has some restrictions
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.
Last year, the University acted as host to the conference.

Douglas County could be named as heritage area
Douglas County may be named a National Heritage Area because of its rich history of abolitionist struggles, Quantrill's Raid and the underground railroad.
A local group, the National Heritage Area Task Force, will prepare an application for the congressional designation, said David Dunfield, city commissioner.
"We want to try to make local people more aware of what Lawrence is all about and to promote it for tourists," Dunfield said.
The project is in preliminary stages and involves illustrating Lawrence's resources and how the town would preserve and promote history, he said.
principles 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."
—Lauren Beatty
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 the report they would present to Congress would focus on the Bleeding Kansas story, which was the fight over whether Kansas would be a slave- or free state.
Group works to establish living wage in Lawrence
Mark Horowitz 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 Ph.D. 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.
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.
Under a typical living wage proposal, a business would have to pay a living wage if it receives tax breaks, employs 10 or more people and exports a certain amount of goods. Horowitz said.
"This does not affect your local restaurants and retail stores," he said. "It usually applies to warehouses and bigger businesses."
For more information about the Kaw Valley Living Wages Alliance, contact Mark Horowitz at 979-7472. www.kawliv ingwage.org.

Karen Keith, off-campus 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 tuition increase.
Senate survey shows tuition may cause some to leave
In November, the Kansas Board of Regents asked KU and other state universities to form a five-year plan to deal with tuition increases.
Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations, said that each of the three proposals included a 20 percent increase in needbased financial aid for students.
The Kansas University Endowment Association provides some tuition assistance. The independent, non-profit organization awarded $19.2 million in scholarships last fiscal year. The association is 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 earnmarked scholarship money to accommodate the tuition increases.

Dentists say tap water healthier than bottled
Tap water is healthier for people's teeth and gums than bottled water because it contains fluoride, said local dentists.
"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.
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.
"Floride helps prevent cavities or tooth decay by basically strengthening the teeth so that the bacteria cannot penetrate as easily and cause tooth decay." Wilson said.

Western Civilization classes required in many schools
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 others 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 Woelfel, director of the Humanities and Western Civilization department, said most only realized how valuable the courses were after graduation.
"I imagine a lot of them wonder why they need to take it," Woeffel said.
Woelfel said the selection of the books was an open process within the Humanities and Western Civilization department, involving students, faculty and graduate teaching assistants. Woelfel said the department's curriculum and advising committee met last semester and will meet again in three or four years, he said.

FACEOFF
Should English be the official language?
English-only forms aid government domestic commerce, equality
COMMENTARY
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
PLURIOUS UNUM
SO WHY ARE WE
IT'S NOT THE
As much as I hate to admit it, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Scalia made a good point last semester when he visited the University of Kansas. We are the only nation, he said, that identifies itself not by race, where we live, or where we come from, but by the principles of the Constitution.
These principles give us the best arguments against
respects to make English the official
When asked to write a column in defense of English as the "official language," I found myself in a curious position. How does one write a column on the topic without coming off as a complete racist?
SO WHY ARE WE DITCHING THE LATIN?
Americans should not be defined by what language they speak
The dilemma gave me pause, until I realized that the problem with the debate was the manner in which the question was phrased. The "Official Language" always sends a chill up my spine with images of George Wallace, brown shirts and hateful speeches about a mythical "cultural heritage."
However, legally mandating that all federal documents be completed in only English strikes me as a far less inflammatory and a far more reasonable position
The most important reason to favor legally man dating English-only federal forms is that it ensures transparency across the bureaucracy. While it is probably very likely that someone in San Francisco speaks fluent Chinese, it is decidedly less so if that particular form finds its way to Duluth, Minn.
COMMENTARY
This is also the case with states. If a state feels compelled to vote an English-only ballot initiative into law, so be it. Likewise, if it chooses to make forms available in 100 different languages, that is entirely the state's choice.
So should every federal office have to retain the services of individuals who can translate every language spoken anywhere in the United States? I think not. It is in the interests of the United States and interstate commerce to make sure that every official federal government document is created equal.
Dave Grummon opinion@kansan.com
This is not the case with states and municipalities. I do not care whether the residents of a particular city feel that having paperwork available in multiple languages best fits their communities—that's the miracle of federalism. Local control allows the local government to adapt to its constituency.
in somewhat moderate position is, of course, unsatisfying to the official-language opponents. Because what lies at the root of that sort of advocacy is another example of misguided multiculturalism. According to those advocates, to force someone to fill out a federal form in English is culturally imperialistic, racist and un-American.
In this meeting pot, or so it seems, good everyone should be able to speak in whatever language they want in any circumstance. This, of course, is stupid.
In this melting pot, or so the story goes.
The rather unfortunate thing about this position is that it finds itself in a paradox of its own. By eschewing standards of practicality, it leaves itself bereft of a check on the profligation of languages.
What most advocates mean when they say "no official language" is "both English and Spanish." But, if English-only discriminates against minority populations, so does English-and-Spanish-only. To be consistent, one must include absolutely every language spoken in the United States, by anyone.
So the only recourse left to "English-and-Spanish" advocates is to appeal to standards of reasonability, which leads to the conclusion outlined above: English for the federal level, empowered states and localities and free and happy individuals. To do otherwise would be imprudent and, dare I say it, un-American.
After all, who is to judge which forms should be printed in which languages? I think every die-hard Esperanto speaker, every Gaelic-tongued Renaissance
festival junkie and every Radio Shack Trekkie worth his or her Klingon dictionary has just as legitimate a claim as anyone else under the "we don't want to judge" standard, unless someone cares to belittle their individual language choice. Yet I'm sure this is not what the multicultural advocates mean to propose.

COMMENTARY
SUNSON
IT'S NOT THE "OFFICIAL" LANGUAGE!
under the law to all
persons in their jurisdiction. Even if this doesn't create a strict legal obligation for government to make its services accessible to those who haven't mastered English yet, it at least creates an ideological one. Our government is here to serve all the people, not just todav's majority.
If we stand for equal protection under the law, does it make sense for the government to provide translators in court proceedings? The quality of justice you receive shouldn't depend on language skills. In an area like Dade County, Fla., where a giant chunk of the population speaks Spanish, it makes sense to allow court proceedings to be held in Spanish. If government is to be of, by and for the people, it should actually work for the people it serves.
What about other government services like drivers
license exams or tax return instructions? Americans should have the opportunity to be active, connected participants in our democracy and society. If this kind of interaction is fundamental creating an integrated society, government should try to accommodate non-English speakers, just as it should accommodate individuals with physical handicaps.
what is certain, however, is that our country is becoming more multicultural. The private sector has no illusions about this new demographic reality and is beginning to respond. When many consumers who speak a foreign language live in one area, hospitals, retailers and service providers respond by accommodating those consumers, thereby selling more products or services. Both smart businesses and workers know that becoming bilingual is in their interest.
Similarly, it's in the best interest of the government and the nation to make significant accommodations, at least to the largest non-English-speaking groups. Some people may try to frame the "English-only" debate as an immigration control issue. But it's not. The face
These people will make up vast sections of our future population. Does it make sense to shut them out of our education, health and government systems?
Do we want millions of tomorrow's Americans to be unskilled, uneducated, unhealthy and completely disconnected from our nation and society? The negative effect this would have on our crime rates, our economy, and the welfare of our society would be staggering.
While "English-only" advocates will undoubtedly point out the increased cost to taxpayers for accommodating non-English-speakers, the cost is much less than it would be if government did nothing to reach out and integrate these emerging populations now. Some fear that if we see store signs or, worse, government forms in anything other than English, America is somehow becoming less American.
But our most fundamental Constitutional concepts of what it means to be an American have nothing to do with language. I hope that being an American has far more to do with our respect for the rights of others and the rule of law.
The average American of the future will not be linked to any one race or religion. Nor will the average American speak only one language. And for most of us, at some level, that's a little scary. The sooner we admit that to ourselves, the easier it will be to get ourselves unstuck from the fears and prejudices of the past and focus on what needs to be done to improve America's future.

University administration was wise to cancel classes
Whether we wanted it, winter at last blew into Lawrence this week, and with a vengeance.
One year ago, an ice storm caused the University to cancel morning classes, but because the decision was made late, many students didn't get the message until they had made the treacherous journey onto campus.
As the community hunkered down to weather this lingering storm, University of Kansas officials were smart to act quickly and decisively.
Roads were not safe for KU on Wheel buses and Mount Oread looked more like an ice skating rink than an institution of higher education. Forecasts predicted that between 1 and 3 inches of freezing rain and sleet would have fallen in the last few days. Power lines and tree branches, coated in thick ice, snapped like toothpicks around town.
But this year, the administration had announced its decision to cancel classes by 11 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, early enough to keep many students and non-essential staff members off the roads.
Simply put, it's been treacherous out there. KU officials should be commended for putting the campus
community's safety first.
It might be frustrating for professors to fall behind a day in their syllabi, but classwork can be made up. No class, no matter how valuable or fascinating, is worth risking one's health or safety.
The University administration practiced sound judgment this week and realized that valuable time in the classroom cannot outweigh common sense. After all, when Mother Nature strikes, you can't stop her because of a test.
Besides, with conditions this treacherous a sizeable number of students probably wouldn't have made it to class anyway, which makes having meaningful discussions difficult.
Just remember when you head back to that daily grind that the maintenance workers didn't have it so lucky. They were out clearing sidewalks, salting roads and chipping away at the ice so that you can walk to class safely today, even if you really wanted another day off.
So we hope students enjoyed their rare two-day break courtesy of Mother Nature, whether it was spent catching up on studying — or catching up on sledding, drinking and sleeping.

Philbin was also the first person Letterman traded jokes with during his first show after the Sept.11 terrorist attacks.
This will be Philbin the 61st appearance on Late Show, second only to Tony Randall's 70.
Yet he can't hide Philbin — who has become something of a milestone man on Letterman's Late Show. When Letterman announced he had to undergo heart surgery two years ago, it was on the air to Philbin. He was also there for Letterman's first day back following his recovery.

Although he's won four straight Emmy Awards, Letterman is still second banana to NBC's Jay Leno in the late-night ratings. Leno has averaged 6 million viewers this season on the Tonight Show, down from 6.3 million a year ago, according to Nielsen Media Research.
Letterman, who rarely gives interviews, will probably mention it only briefly today. There will be no prime-time anniversary special.
"He did a good job after Sept. 11," said Marc Berman, a television analyst for Media Week Online. "He's not the warmest guy in the world, but he certainly showed a different side."
BIG BLUE MONDAYS!
It will be 20 years to the day since Letterman made his late-night debut, as host of Late Night on NBC (he moved to CBS in 1993).
NEW YORK — If it wasn't for the presence of Regis Philbin, you might not realize that tonight's show marks a milestone for David Letterman.

Letterman's heart surgery and much-praised response to the terrorist attacks last fall gave him more attention than he has had the previous few years.
"I think Dave is in the rare position of someone who can decide for himself how long his career will go," Burnett said. "That's very unusual in television and sports. It's a decision only he can make."
The anniversary is "an incredibly important achievement, especially in this day and age," said Rob Burnett, one of the show's three executive producers. "When you think of the people who have stayed on television and remained a force on television, you can count them on one hand."
Burnett said he's had a few discussions with Letterman about how long the 54-year-old host wanted to keep doing his job, but he really had little more insight than the show's viewers.
Letterman's viewership of 4.36 million this year has changed little from last year's 4.33 million, but he's up 12 percent among younger viewers, age 18 to 49.
"With him and Jay, one show always seems to have the momentum and one doesn't," Berman said, "and Dave has it."
While it's a punishing schedule
— Friday's show will mark Letterman's 3,558th broadcast — Letterman is grateful that he has the platform, Burnett said.
His contract with CBS expires this summer, but a spokesman said Letterman was in discussion with the network on another deal.

Students ambivalent about ab gadgets
Bv Summer Lewis
By Summer Lewis Kansan staff writer
From the AbTronic to Fast Abs, effortless abdominal devices are dominating the latest TV infomercials, promising a fast path to a washboard stomach.
"Just 10 minutes is the equivalent of 600 sit-ups," the Fast Abs TV commercial announcer says. "Believe it or not... it's just $39.95 shipping and handling with a 30-day money back guarantee!"
JILLIAN THORPE/KANSAN
The AbTronics TV announcer says the machine is so effortless a person can be watching a favorite television program, reading a book or even cooking dinner while getting his body into the shape he wants it.
"With consistent use and a balanced diet you'll start seeing results in about four weeks," the announcer says.
According to the Fast Abs Web site, www.tvinventions.com, the machine uses "safe, gentle, massage-like impulses that stimulate muscle contractions."
Vincent Lei, Topeka junior, said that he got an abdominal machine two years ago.
"I used it a lot when I first got it," Lei said. "I could tell a bit of a difference."
He said that depending on how high it is turned up or down, it felt like a cramp in the abdominal area.
Some KU students have tried devices such as the AbTronic and have noticed little or no difference. abdominal machines.tricity passing through the
"You'll have it on for about 45 minutes at a time." Lei said. "There is an initial shock when you first turn it on, which causes a discomfort that you used to. After using it, your body gets sore because it is working the muscles."
Lee Bittenbender Lawrence dermatologist, said he had never seen a problem related to using these types of
"The electricity causes the contractions," Bittenbender said. "I would be concerned with the harm that the electricity passing through the skin could cause, but they may have it all worked out."
Kevin Will, Overland Park sophomore, said he bought
an AbTronic for $90 because he was lazy and thought it would be easy to use.
He said that the machine was popular with his friends but not his parents.
"Actually, I have been too lazy to even strap that thing on around my waist, but I have used it a few times and can't tell a difference." Will said. "I just got it right before break."
"My parents told me that there was probably better ways to spend 100 bucks," he said.
According to WebMD.com, the electrical muscle stimulator devices have been used successfully in physical rehabilitation, but no studies in 2001 have conclusively proved that the machines help people lose weight or reduce body fat.

Reyes said that, with the bad weather, breaks weren't as regular.
He said that the combination of snow and ice made the remnants of this storm especially difficult to eliminate.
"This is probably the hardest snow I've ever had to move, and I've been here almost 22 years." Reves said.
About 25 to 30 tons of salt and two and a half tons of chemicals were applied to campus, said Larry Rawlings, assistant director of construction.
James Moutray, equipment operator, said he didn't think students knew how many manhours went into making campus clear and safe.
"A lot of them probably don't appreciate the fact that we're making it clear for them to go to school," Moutray said. "They just think we're messing up their sledding routes."

But as it began to snow again yesterday afternoon, workers were doubtful.

Since the display was last updated in 1995, many building projects, including the Horeisi Family Athletics Center in 1999, the Hilltop Child Development Center in 2000, and the Murphy Hall expansion in 2001 have occurred.
Gaylord Richardson, associate professor of architecture, recommended Bradbury for the project, which will be paid for by the KU Mem-
To demonstrate his ability, Bradbury created an addition to the Joseph R. Pearson Hall for the model.
Pat Beard, director of building services at KU Memorial Unions, said he was impressed by Bradbury's work.
"In that sense, he gave us an idea of the quality work that he is going to put into it," Beard said. Beard said the project would cost the Unions about $4,750 in material and labor.

Students discover defrosting cars a daunting task
Jessica Tims Kansan staff writer
One of the worst ice storms in Kansas history left two inches of freezing rain and four inches of sleet on students' cars, rendering an ice scraper nearly ineffective.
mimetic.
"I just pounded on it with my fist to break the ice," said Andrew Hillin, Topeka senior. "I also used an ice scraper."
Hillin said he removed ice from his car on Wednesday, which made it easy to clear his car yesterday.
ter day. Chad Mallory, Kansas City, Kan. senior, de-iced his car yesterday even though he was staying home for a second day in a row.
"I'm just going to warm it up and then use a scraper to get the ice off," Mallory said, as he knocked ice from his car parked in front of Oread Apartments, 12th and Oread streets. "I'm getting ready to go to work tomorrow in Kansas City."
Beating frozen cars is not the best way to remove ice, said Mark Camp, manager at Advance Auto Parts, 1501 W. Sixth St. He said the proper way to thaw a car was to let the car run and melt the ice or use a product made to remove ice.
"There is spray that you can use on your windshield." Camp said. "But with a lot of ice like we had this week, it can only do so much and you are still stuck scraping."
Camp said another common mistake was throwing hot water on a frozen car. Hot water on frozen glass can cause breakage, he said.
Students who didn't want to defrost their cars had the option of taking the Lawrence Transit System, known as The T, said Karin Rexroad. Lawrence public transit administrator. The T had an increase in the number of riders since bad weather hit, she said.
The T reported 791 riders Wednesday. That is 114 more riders than the daily average for the month of January, Rexroad said.
"There are a lot more people now because they just don't want to get out," she said.

Women to win one in Big 12 psychic says
Whv?
I'll admit it. I don't want the Kansas women's basketball team to go winless in Big 12 Conference games. Call me biased or whatever else you want to, but I'll be rooting for the Jayhawks to win at least one Big 12 game.
I don't want to see Marian Washington, a coaching legend in her 29th year at Kansas, suffer through the embarrassment of not winning a game in the Big 12, and I usually pull for the underdog. But mostly, I don't want to hear stupid jokes about how bad Kansas is.
If the 'Hawks do win a Big 12 game this season, I want fans to know when it will happen, so they can help cheer Kansas to victory. For that reason, I decided to contact an old acquaintance, psychic Ida Fonie.

Ida and I go way back. She's helped me repeatedly in the past, giving me study hints and telling me where to avoid smokers exhaling their toxic fumes at the entrance of campus buildings.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
I asked Fonie about each of the seven games left to play and the likelihood of a Kansas victory.
At Oklahoma (2-2)
Kansas is 2-7 on the road and has lost its road games by an average of more than 20 points. Led by All-American Stacey Dales Oklahoma is ranked No.4 in the country and tied for first in the Big 12. Don't count on Kansas getting its third road victory in Sooner Nation.
Iowa State (2-6)
Kansas has two games left against the No. 12 Cyclones. After being one of the top teams in the Big 12 the last two years, the Cyclones have struggled this year. Iowa State is just 4-5 in Big 12 play. Still, Iowa State has won two of its last three games in Lawrence. Behind all-time leading scorer, rebounder and shot blocker Angie Welle, the Phog won't be much of a factor. Look for Iowa State to get it done.
The game in Ames, Iowa, on Feb. 26 should have the same result. The Cyclones have lost just three home games in the last three seasons. Don't expect Kansas to make it four.
At Missouri (2-9)
Junior guard Kirk Hinrich fires a ball over the head of former Colorado guard Jose Winston last year. Hinrich has started every game this season for the Jayhawks, averaging 14.4 points per game. Kansas has won 25 consecutive games against the Buffaloes, including a 97-85 victory on Jan. 5 at the Coors Events Center.
The Tigers routed the Jayhawks 66-48 at Allen Fieldhouse last month and have defeated the 'Hawks four straight. Even so, Mizzou is only 3-5 in Big 12 play. As usual in games between these two rivals, look for the Jayhawks to play their hearts out. But also look for a Missouri win.
Nebraska (2-13)
This is Kansas' best chance for a win. The 'Huskers are 2-6 in Big 12 play. The Jayhawks will be trying to avenge a 73-59 loss in Lincoln, Neb. If you're looking for a Kansas game to attend, go to this one. Get there early and stay late because the Jayhawks will pull out a win.
Kansas State (2-17)
In a game between programs going in opposite directions, look for No. 10 K Kansas State to win in Lawrence for the first time in 11 years. K-State is tied for first in the Big 12 and looks capable of making a postseason run. The Jayhawks will play for pride, but that won't be enough.
Texas (2-26)
It'll be a battle of coaching giants when Jody Conradt and No. 14 Texas come to town. Conradt has won more games than any coach in the history of women's college basketball. But Kansas has won the last four games in this series. This year Conradt will end that streak.

Ready to rumble
Men prepare for physical game with 'tough' Colorado
By Brent Wasko
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas probably wishes it could play Colorado for every game.
The Jayhawks have beaten the Buffaloes 25 straight times, and if Colorado is to end the streak, it will have to pull off the upset at a place where no Kansas opponent has won this season — Allen Fieldhouse.
Kansas coach Roy Williams said he didn't see the game as an automatic victory for the Jayhawks. Colorado, which is 12-6 overall and 3-4 in the Big 12 Conference, might be a more difficult opponent than it looked on paper.
paper.
"They've played very well against us, and their team has gotten better and better." Williams said. "They were a load for us to handle out at their place and they'll be a load against us here on Saturday."
On Jan. 5, Kansas, which is 18-2 overall and 7-0 in the Big 12, took advantage of a strong second-half effort to sneak past Colorado 97-85 to open Big 12 play.
Junior forward Drew Gooden paced the Jayhawks in that contest with 27 points and 14 rebounds. Senior guard Jeff Boschee and junior guard Kirk Hinrich also had big days, tossing in 20 and 19 points, respectively.
Despite the Jayhawks' large winning streak against the Buffaloes, Kansas and Colorado have developed a bit of a rivalry.
Games between the two teams have recently been characterized by very physical play.
During the teams' last meeting, officials whistled players for fouls a combined 44 times, including an intentional foul on Kansas and a technical foul on Colorado. Each squad had three players with four fouls.
Sophomore forward Bryant Nash said the Jayhawks expected a physical

Nash may fit Williams' role of forward
By Doug Pacey Kansan sportswriter
A former coach asked Bryant Nash last fall if he wanted to transfer from Kansas.
After red-shirting his freshman year, playing in just 24 games and scoring 16 points last season, it was a legitimate question.
But, Nash said, he had no plans to leave Lawrence.
"It's a good place," the soft-spoken sophomore said.
While this season hasn't been much different from last year — Nash has played more than five minutes only seven times this season — the swingman has shown offensive improvement, and if his defense improves, he might be the small forward Roy Williams has so desperately tried to find.
"He is the one player that if you draw a picture of what we need, it's him," Williams said. "You can pass the look tests and it doesn't mean you can play. He definitely passes the look tests and has all the characteristics we need for a small forward."
At 6-foot-6, Nash would give No.2 Kansas (18-2 overall, 7-0 Big 12 Confer-

Team wants final home victory
Molly O'Connor, Carolyn Horwitz, Carrie Kirkham and Rebecca McFall are the four seniors on the KU swim team, which has its final home meet tomorrow in Robinson Center.

Kansan sportswriter
For the four seniors on the Kansas swimming and diving team, tomorrow's noon meet at Robinson Center takes them one step closer to the end of their careers.
Seniors Carolyn Horwitz, Carrie Kirkham, Rebecca McFall and Molly O'Connor will have extra fan support as all are expecting family and friends to attend their final home meet. Plus, the rest of the team is likely to do everything it can to make the seniors last meet memorable.
"The coaches keep saying 'do it for the seniors,'" O'Connor said. "Hopefully we can get the win."
According to coach Cathy Burgess, each senior swimmer brings different but equally important qualities to the team.
"Carrie has the perfect mix of swimming ability in the pool and leadership out of the pool," Burgess said.
"Carolyn is the type of person who gives 100 percent at everything she does not just to swimming, but everything in life. And Molly is a naturally chosen leader among her peers."
She's been one of our most consistent trainers in the pool all four years."
Diving coach Kevin Lawrence spoke of McFall's importance to the team.
"First and foremost she brings leadership to the team," he said.
"She's not afraid to stand up and tell the underclassmen what they need to do."
The Jayhawks are coming off of a
dominating 185-94 victory in their previous dual against Nebraska. Kansas hopes to improve on its 6-2 record against the Arkansas Razorbacks and remain focused on using their remaining three meets as preparation for the conference meet. .

Tracksters wonder who will show up
By Matt Norton
The Kansas track and field team will compete in the Jayhawk Invitational today, but it may not know who's coming until the team buses start pulling into the parking lot outside Anschutz Sports Pavilion.
The University of Missouri-Kansas City-area junior colleges and Division II and III schools are scheduled to compete against the Jayhawks, but this week's inclement weather may keep many of them at home.
Tim Weaver, meet director, said the decision was made yesterday to have the meet.
"These junior college teams really look to this meet as one of their main qualifying opportunities for their national championships, to get on our oversized track," said Weaver of Kansas' 252-yard track. "Fort Hays State doesn't have a lot of indoor opportunities. Colby, and some of these community colleges

Todav's Birthday (Feb 1).
Today's Birthday (Reel 1)
Have you thought about publishing a book? Traveling the world? Making wonderful scientific discoveries?
All of this and more can be yours this year. Expand your horizons.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is an 8. Even with Mercury in retrograde, you're clicking right along. You're pushing a big project through. Others benefit more than you do from this, except in terms of satisfaction. That's your reward, and it'll be generous.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 6. You could do well financially now, but it's not easy. Getting into work mode is your first challenge. You'd rather play, but that doesn't appear to be a viable option. You're supremely practical. Do what needs to be done.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 10.
They say a journey of a thousand miles begins with just one step, but it actually begins before that. It begins with a fantasy that turns into a plan. After that comes the step. Get going.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 5. Cancer is the sign of the millionaire. You have a natural talent for doing business, but it also takes a lot of work. You'll have patience for details involving other people's money, so hide out somewhere and study.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is an 8. Hand over the reins to a smart person who can take care of you right now. Don't argue or try to maintain control. You'll become much stronger if you accept the coaching.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 5.
There's too much work, but luckily it could

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 5.
There's plenty to keep you busy at home the first part of this month. Are you moving or doing a major renovation? Setting up an office or laboratory in your basement? Any or all of the above would be perfect.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is an 8. You're pretty smart, and you have some very intelligent friends. One of them seems to be trying to teach you something. It's complex, but you're learning. If this friend is also your partner, so much the better.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 5. You could borrow more to get what you want, but is that really wise? The better plan is to save up for it and pay cash. You can negotiate a discount instead of paying interest.

Kentucky football receives three-year probation term
S
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky football was hit hard by the NCAA on yesterday when it was placed on three years of probation for recruiting violations.

The Wildcats, cited by the NCAA for more than three dozen recruiting violations, were banned from a bowl game next season and must forfeit a total of 19 scholarships during the next three years.

Kentucky can sign only 16 of a possible 25 recruits for next season (signing day is Tuesday).

Former recruiting coordinator Claude Bassett was also effectively banned from working at an

"I don't know how much damage is going to be done to the program," Kentucky coach Guy Morris said.
"The first thing I want to do is walk across the street and talk to our players. Then we have to look at what we can do to salvage this new recruiting class."
The Wildcats were 2-9 last year, including 1-7 in The Southeastern Conference.
The violations were committed from 1998 to 2000 during the tenure of Hal Mumme, who resigned as coach under pressure last February. Mumme was charged with failure to monitor the program, but was not given any individual sanctions.
The Wildcats' basketball program was banned from playing in the NCAA tournament in 1989 and 1990 because of numerous recruiting violations, including the mailing of cash to a recruit's home.
Tyson looks to fight Lewis in LA
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Mike Tyson will apply for a license to fight heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis at Staples Center this spring, the Los Angeles Times reported yesterday.
Shelly Finkel, Tyson's manager, told the newspaper that the fighter would like to challenge Lewis at the Los Angeles venue. Tyson lost his bid to fight Lewis in Las Vegas on April 6 when the Nevada State Athletic Commission voted 4-1 Tuesday to deny Tyson a boxing license.
Tuesday to deliver your answers The next meeting for the California commission is Feb. 9.
"We haven't received anything from Tyson's people requesting licensure," Rob Lynch, executive director of the California State Athletic Commission, said yesterday from his Sacramento office.
"It could be pure speculation. It could be gospel. I don't know. The bottom line is he'll have to get four affirmative votes out of the six commissioners to fight in California."
Lynch said if Tyson did apply for a license, he had no idea when the commissioners would consider the issue, but added it almost certainly would be at a special meeting and not Feb. 9.
Staples officials are intrigued by a Tyson-Lewis matchup, but they know other venues are interested in playing host to the long-anticipated bout. Promoters in South Africa and Denmark stepped forward after the Nevada commission's decision to express interest in the fight.
"It's up to the commission," Staples Center president Tim Leiwke told the Times. "Assuming they approve, we would be interested, but it's such a fluid situation right now."
a huddle situation in right. Meanwhile, New York state Boxing Commissioner Ray Kelly will abide by Nevada's decision not to reinstate Tyson's license.
Kelly told the New York Daily News that Tyson "has acted inappropriately, to say the least" in the past.
Kelly, who is also New York City police commissioner, did not immediately return a telephone call.

CAMAS, Wash. — Former figure skating champion Tonya Harding has moved out of her riverfront home following an eviction ruling last week from a Clark County judge.
Harding, 31, lived in the home overlooking the Columbia River between Camas and Vancouver with her manager, Linda Lewis.
They had rented the three-bedroom 1,300-square-foot ranch house since August 2000, according to court documents. They owed $4,530 in unpaid rent.
The judge last week ordered Harding to pay the back rent and move out by Wednesday at midnight. The home was empty yesterday.

Washington looks to bench to revive inconsistent offense
By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter
As if the Kansas women's basketball team hasn't had its share of competition this season, the worst may be yet to come.
The Jayhawks (5-17,0-9 Big 12 Conference) have faced a multitude of ranked opponents already and will add another to that daunting list when they travel to Norman, Okla., tomorrow to face No. 4 Oklahoma (17-2, 7-1 Big 12 Conference).
With offensive consistency a major concern, Kansas is fighting to end its longest losing streak in history.
"I really think that the problem is that we don't play together consistently." Kansas senior Nikki White said. "We know our offenses, but if one person breaks down, then we're not on the same page."

At Colorado on Tuesday, the Jayhawks shot a seasonlow 23.5 percent from the field while reaching a season-high 68 field goal attempts. White said her team was working hard to overcome the severe absence of scoring.
"We're focusing on our offense and just running it through with confidence," she said.
Their last win came Dec. 29 against Morgan State, and they've lost nine games in a row.all in the Big 12.
Still, the 'Hawks are possibly at the lowest point of their season.
Recent offensive struggles from experienced players have forced Kansas coach Marian Washington to look toward her bench for help.
Seniors White, Kristin Geoffroy and Selena Scott combined for only seven points against Colorado, and players who saw limited time on the court early in the season, such as freshmen Brandi McGinest and Valerie Migicovsky and senior Katie Hannon, were spending more time on the court.

The Jayhawks will need additional help from their bench if they want to compete against the Sooners, a team that has four players averaging in double digits.
Senior forward Nikki White goes up for a shot in a game against Fort Hays State early in the season.
"Coach has expressed to them that they're going to have to step up," White said. "I think they're taking on that challenge and really trying hard."
"We've had a team meeting and we're trying to come out with a lot more confidence than we've had in the past," she said. "We're really focusing on playing together and doing more things as a team — even outside of basketball — to try to get closer to each other."

Williams said the Buffaloes were tough to defend because they had so many different weapons.

Oklahoma arsenal set for Hawks
By Ryan Wood
Kansan sportswriter
"The strength of our team all year is that we have a lot of different weapons." Sooner coach Sherri Coale said.
And it's about to get a little tougher.
Kansas center Nikki White said her team realized Oklahoma's scoring potential.
The Kansas women's basketball team, facing the toughest conference schedule in the nation, hasn't had much success.
The Jayhawks (5-17 overall, 0-9 in Big 12 Conference) travel to Norman, Okla. to take on No. 4 Oklahoma (17-2, 7-1) at 1 p.m. tomorrow.
The Sooners came off a victory against the stingy Oklahoma State Cowgirls, 66-58 on Tuesday night. Guard Stacey Dales scored a career-high 29 points in the game.
Dales, last year's Big 12 Conference Player of the Year and a Kodak All-American, will come in to tomorrow's game averaging 15.7 points per game.
"We're know that we're going to have to go out and play tenacious defense to shut down their main scorers." White said.
"Stacey has the gift of vision," Coale said. "She sees the floor better than any player in the country."
The Sooner's single loss of the conference season took place on Jan. 15, when Iowa State defeated Oklahoma by a convincing 16-point margin in Ames, Iowa.
Oklahoma will close out the season with five of its final eight games at home before the Big 12 Tournament begins on March 5.
"We really like to be at home," Coale said. "We expect a good crowd on Saturday."

ence) added height on the perimeter. Jeff Boschee, Kirk Hinrich, Aaron Miles and Keith Langford are all shorter than 6-foot-4, and when Kansas plays teams with taller guards — UCLA's starting guards were all taller than 6-foot-6 — Nash's presence could help the Jayhawks on defense.
Before that can happen, Nash has to cut down on fouls, Williams said. Against Texas A&M, he committed two fouls in three minutes and was whistled for one in five minutes against Missouri. That, plus turnovers, is keeping Nash in his warm-ups during games.
Nash said he knew this and
gave extra effort to reach Williams' expectations.
Whatever shooting drills Nash has been doing has paid big dividends. He made his first career three pointer against the Aggies Saturday and hit another against the Tigers Monday. His teammates have taken notice, too.
"we do need a three-man, but I still have a ways to go," Nash said. "I stay a little after practice and go to practice early and work on my ball-handling skills and shooting the ball more."
"They call me 'must touch,' he said. As in, Nash 'must touch' the ball on every possession.
Whether or not Nash gets more minutes doesn't concern him.
"I'm ready when coach Williams needs me," he said. "As

THE LANDING
JOHN NOWAK/KANSAN
Llandlord and professor emeritus of political science Jaroslaw Piekalkiewicz (left) waits for a city inspector in the living room of the property he rents to Joe Lonnberg, Dodge City senior, at 1013 W. 20th St. After complaints from a neighbor, the City of Lawrence was ordered to verify if more than three persons lived in the house.
By Rachel Keesee Kansan staff writer
A Lawrence landlord said he thought three University of Kansas students had their privacy invaded by a city inspector Friday.
The inspector went to the house at 1013 W.20th St. to see if residents were following the compliance agreement their landlord, Jaroslaw Piealkiewicz, professor emeritus of political science, had signed in October 2001.
Four KU students had moved into Piekalkiewicz's house in May, said Serena Hearn, who manages the property for Piekalkiewicz. The fourth moved out in December as part of the agreement.
The agreement said Piekalkiewicz had violated the unrelated-residents ordinance and would have no more than three unrelated people living in the house by Dec. 31, 2001. It also said the city would inspect the house up to four times during 2002.
The inspector looks at the number of cars parked at the residence, the number of bedrooms in the house and talks to residents in the house and others.
Lonnberg led Smith on a tour of the five-bedroom house.
Lee Smith, a Lawrence zoning enforcement officer, arrived at 1:30 p.m. Friday and introduced himself to Joe Lonnberg, Dodge City senior, the only resident at home.
Smith said he looked for overcrowding in a house to determine the number of residents.

He also asked Lonnberg how many people slept in the house, to which Lonnberg replied that a girlfriend would stay the night occasionally.
Smith said having people spend the night could cause problems.

Baker, KDOT agree to build trafficway
By Lauren Beatty
Kansan staff writer
Baker University and the Kansas Department of Transportation agreed upon a tentative plan Friday, Jan. 25, to build the South Lawrence Trafficway.
The $8.5 million deal would allow the trafficway to be built through the university's wetlands and provide the following:
300 acres of mitigated wetlands,
$1 million for maintenance of the area.
Hiking and biking trails.
A new boardwalk
A camping area. Three new parking areas.
“五 years from now, the new wetlands are going to be a real showpiece,” said Mike Rees, chief counsel for KDOT. “It's an example of being better off than when we started.”
Rees said other benefits to the new plan include faster travel times.
Before the plan moves any fur
ther, Rees said he wanted to gather more public opinion.
"It's still in the proposal stage," Rees said. "We'll listen to comments from anyone. We've decided to set up a public hearing and see how the relocation affects people. I think that will be good and might lead to modifications."
Carey Maynard-Moody, chairwoman of the Wakarusa Group of the Kansas Chapter of the Sierra Club, said building the trafficway would be harmful to the environment.
Rees said the hearing would provide a chance for people like Maynard-Moody who are against the project to voice their concerns.
"It's detrimental to the entire Douglas County community," she said. "We hardly have any wetlands left in Kansas. Highways lead to a loss of natural resources and compromise our air and water."

Bogus bills dupe locals
By Mike Gilligan Kansan staff writer
Employees at several local businesses have found counterfeit $10, $20, $50 and $100 bills in the past two weeks, said Sgt. Mike Pattrick of the Lawrence Police Department.
No arrests have been made in connection with fake bills, he said.
"A lot of the bills have been found when businesses have made deposits to the bank," Pattrick said.
Emerson Biggins Sports Bar and Grill, 3512 Clinton Parkway, is one of several area businesses where an employee has found a counterfeit bill.
Adam Fikeldei, manager at Emerson Biggins, was working on Sunday, Jan. 20, when he came across a fake $100 bill.
"The serial numbers were in bold print, not fine print," he said.
Smoker Friendly, 1606 W. 23rd St., also received a counterfeit bill on Saturday, Jan. 19, when a mar
tried to pass a fake $20, said Vincent Piraneo, an employee.
"I could tell it was counterfeit right away," he said. "It felt like a different texture and the color looked off, too."
Piraneo used a counterfeit pen to confirm his suspicion. The pen leaves a black mark on counterfeit money, while leaving a brown or yellow mark on real currency.
The man told police he received the bill as change from another business, but he didn't know which one.
He described different characteristics of counterfeit bills that made them stand out.
"Some of the bills have an offtint color," Patrick said. "Sometimes fibers are missing as well as security strips."
Wal-Mart, 3500 Iowa St., also received a counterfeit $10 bill on Sunday, Jan. 20.

Travelodge renovations mean free furnishings for students
By Maggie Koerth Kansan staff writer
Students willing to venture out into the cold Wednesday could have found themselves the proud owners of a free television, end table or lamp
eodge. Franklin spent most of the day next door to the Travelodge in the unheated, abandoned Kettle restaurant where the furnishings were being given away.
"We had at least 20 or 25 TVs, and they're all gone now," said Michael Franklin, general manager of Travelodge.
The Lawrence Travelodge, 801 Iowa St., is undergoing renovations, and the new owners decided to give the old furnishings away to college students.
Among the items claimed, televisions, mirrors and radios were the most popular, Franklin said.
Franklin said the former owners of the hotel had let it deteriorate. He said the new owners, Wichita-based S&B Motels Inc., wanted to build clientele and make Travelodge a nice hotel again.
"She said, 'Dad, a lot of college kids can't afford new furniture. We ought to give them the stuff from the hotel,'" Stanley Weilert said. "I thought it was a really good idea. It's a way for us to get our name out and to help the community."
or May
Stanley Weilert, president of S&B Motels, said his daughter Leigh Weilert, Wichita senior, came up with idea of giving the furnishings to students.
He said they were remodeling the hotel in stages. The third floor, which the give-away emptied, should be done by the end of February. The whole hotel will be done by the end of May.
"We had about 14 wrecks in the parking lot, with the ice and people backing into each other," he said. "But it was great. It was exciting. It reminded me of when I was young and in college."
The furniture give-away was advertised on KUJH and Channel 6, Weilert said. More than 200 students came Wednesday.
The next chance for free furnishings is March 15th, when the Travelodge will give away furnishings from the renovation of the second floor.
John Fewis, Redfield senior, said he would likely come back to the next giveaway.

Abortion opponents address teen concerns
TOPEKA — The Legislature's abortion opponents have shifted from seeking to ban procedures to requiring parental involvement in decisions by pregnant teenagers.
technology. "It's partially a different tactic, but the goal hasn't changed—to reduce the number of abortions," said Rep. Tony Powell, an anti-abortion advocate in the Legislature.
Powell, R-Wichita, said the U.S. Supreme Court had limited states' authority to restrict later term abortions.
Stovall introduces antiterrorism package
Carla Mahany, lobbyist for Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri said anti-abortion advocates were looking for new ways to access the issue. "By focusing on minors, they are targeting the most vulnerable," Mahany said.
TOPEKA—Attorney General Carla Stovall said she wanted to expand the state's death penalty law and secure authority for her office and local prosecutors to investigate potential terrorists.
But some legislators, including Senate President Dave Kerr, were skeptical.
Stovall outlined her anti-terrorism proposals for the Legislature during a Friday news conference.
Her proposals included creating a new crime of terrorism, allowing the execution of people who kill during terrorist acts, strengthening penalties for making false threats and making wiretapping and surveillance easier.
WORLD
Reporter still missing investigation continues
KARACHI, Pakistan — Pakistani investigators said yesterday they were expanding their search for the kidnappers of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl into Karachi's criminal underworld.
Several e-mails, purportedly from the kidnappers, which police now believe were hoaxes, complicated the investigation. Late yesterday, police searched an eastern Karachi neighborhood from where e-mails may have been sent.
Investigators still consider Islamic extremists likely suspects in Pearl's abduction.
Pearl, 38, disappeared Jan. 23 after leaving for an appointment at a restaurant. He had been working on a story about Islamic fundamentalists.
"So far no breakthrough has been made, but some progress has been made in investigations," Pakistan Interior Minister Moineddin Haider said yesterday.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 3A
Event explores Jewish traditions
By Maggie Koerth Kansan staff writer
Flickering candles lit the ballroom in the Kansas Union Friday night as about 250 students recited one of the world's oldest recorded prayers.
The prayer and other Jewish traditions were presented to non-jewish University of Kansas students at the first Greek Shabat dinner, sponsored by KU Hillel. Hillel is the organization for Jewish students at KU.
"Shabbat is the day of rest. From sundown Friday to sundown Saturday every week," said Hayden Galler, Hillel member and Overland Park freshman. Galler was one of several Hillel members who served as hosts and explained the traditions of the Jewish holy day.
The students recited the Redemption Prayer, first sung by Moses' sister Miriam after the Israelites crossed the Red Sea. The prayer is sung in Hebrew every Shabbat by Jews around the world, said Sheldon Whittenville, a member of Shiray Shabbat, a local music group that performed at the event.
The evening began with music from the group, which plays both traditional and contemporary Shabbat songs.
Galler, a member of Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity, said Hiliel wanted non-Jewish students to be aware of Shabbat. He said the Greek community specifically had been made a target in order to bring sorority and fraternity members of all religions together.
Eve Katz, Birmingham. Ala., senior, and member of Sigma Delta Tau sorority, coordinated the event. Katz said she and other Hillel members organized the Shabbat dinner because they thought the greek community needed an educational awareness program about Jewish students.
Shabbat prayers followed the music. After prayers came the dinner, a kosher meal of baked chicken, vegetables and rice pilaf.
A performance by comedian Joel Chasnoff ended the evening.

"There are 3,000 greek students on campus and 300 of them are Jewish. We knew of about 150 of them, but we didn't know the others," Katz said. "We wanted a program to teach people about Judaism and respecting other people's religions."
A
Katz said there was a lot of diversity in the greek system, but that it was often overlooked. She said she hoped events like the Shabbat dinner would raise awareness of diversity among the Greeks and help them to celebrate that diversity.
Katz said Hillel had planned a small Shabbat dinner at a sorority house, but because so many other chapter members and people outside of the Greek system expressed
Comedian Joel Chasnoff comments on techniques used to stay sanitary in public restrooms. Chasnoff entertained attendees of the Shabbat dinner for KU students Friday night at the Kansas Union Ballroom.
What is Shabbat?
Shabbat is the day of rest in the Jewish religion.
Shabbat lasts from sundown
Friday to sundown Saturday.
Jews aren't supposed to do anything on Shabbat.
Orthodox Jews don't drive cars or use electrical equipment
A family dinner is usually a part of Shabbat
Before Shabbat dinner, there are prayers for the lighting of candles, the washing of hands, the drinking of wine and the blessing of challah bread.

interest, Hillel moved the event to the Union.
Andrea Hadel. Leawood sophomore and Delta Gamma sorority member, said she was glad she attended the dinner.
"I think these type of events are useful because now I have a better idea of their religion," she said. "I think it's nice for members of every chapter to participate because Jewish Greek members are kind of a minority in the community."
Katz said organizations such Greeks Raising Awareness of Ethnic Diversity and Jews in Greek Letter Organizations were going to be working with Hillel to bring in speakers and sponsor events similar to the Shabbat dinner this year.

ORDINANCE
CONTINUED FROM THE FRONT PAGE
A city ordinance passed in February 2001 required all property owners with rental houses in single-family zones to register their properties with the city if more than three unrelated people lived in the house.
"What we didn't know and what wasn't on the registration form was that those four people had to be living there before March 1, 2001." Hearn said. "They said register the property by June 1, 2001, so we registered by June 1."
Hearn said the registration process had not been clear.
After they learned of the housing ordinance, Piekalkiewicz had signed the compliance agreement, she said. The fourth student had moved to an apartment complex in December to follow the agreement's stipulations.
"I just feel it's really wrong to do this," Hearn said. "The landlord can go inspect a place if he gives 24-hour notice, and that's how the city is checking up on who's sleeping there and how many."
The city began its inspections Friday to determine whether the fourth resident had moved out.
Piekalkiewicz said he signed the agreement only because he would have been penalized if he hadn't.
David Corliss, assistant city manager and director of legal services for Lawrence, said the penalties depended on the ordinance.
"The maximum amount would be $500 per day," Corliss said. "But it's unlikely that a property owner
"We complied with the ordinance, and they're still inspecting us, just because we had some people spend the night."
Joe Lonnberg Dodge City senior
Corliss said the city offered a compliance agreement to property owners, instead of the city prosecuting landlords who were not complying with city ordinances.
would be fined that much."
But the compliance agreement includes this clause: "Nothing in this agreement shall limit the authority of the City of Lawrence, Kansas, to seek additional inspections as provided by law."
"We complied with the ordinance, and they're still inspecting us, just because we had some people spend the night." Lonnberg said. "I want them to be done and to leave us alone."
Lonnberg said he was mad the city was still checking up on the house after his roommate had moved out.
The main cause of the inspections comes from complaints, said Barry Walthall, code enforcement manager for Lawrence.

EDITORIAL
KU on Wheels Daisy Hill route must change
Residence hall students shouldn't miss class, wait in cold weather because of full buses
The campus bus system, KU on Wheels, should be a service, not a hindrance.
As temperatures drop outside, more students opt to take the bus to and from campus.
This presents a problem for the residents of Daisy Hill and Jayhawker Towers, as there are only so many buses and many students want to use them. The buses are usually full before they reach the Lewis Hall bus stop.
The situation hasn't been this bad all year.
As more students ride the bus, still more are left behind. The problem was illustrated all too well last week when full buses continually passed waiting students. Some waited nearly an hour, for rides to early morning classes.
As a result, many students were late to classes. This is unacceptable, especially for those unable to walk up the hill to class.
Many of the hall residents are underclassmen, primarily freshmen and sophomores, and therefore they use the buses most often in the mornings.
Students living in McCollum Hall and Ellsworth Hall, as well as those using the Lied Center Parkand-Ride program, pack the buses before they even reach the other halls.
Students pay for the right to use the bus. Passes range from $65 per semester to $120 for the full year. Something must be done to ensure that everyone who pays for a bus pass is able to ride the bus.
There are several ways to improve the bus system such as increasing the frequency and number of buses that run by the residence halls in the morning.
Another, more fisically appealing, possibility is to assign specific buses to specific pick-up locations on Daisy Hill during the morning rush, making the system run more smoothly and effectively.
If students continue to be late to classes or are forced to watch as full buses pass by in the freezing mornings because of disorganization and poor planning on the part of KU on Wheels, then something must be done to right the situation.
All people can't simply walk to class is buses are full. Some students are disabled, or carrying heavy or bulky objects.
Sara Zafar for the editorial board.

Snow, days off not so much fun with homework, icy cars
PERSPECTIVE
When school was canceled because of snow last week, my immediate reaction was a boisterous "Woo!" as I raised my hands in the air. But, as I brought those exited appendages back down, my enthusiasm faded away.
with each passing year, I find myself hating snow more than I love it.
When I was young, I found snow a versatile medium with which to work. You could use snow to make people, forts and snowballs. Need I mention sledding or the fact that snow is edible?
Sure, we could have done without all the snow gear, such as those pants that just about eliminated any flexibility of your knees, or those mittens that clipped onto your sleeves.
But that was a small price to pay,to be able to come inside and strip off the slush-infested clothing and grab a mug of hot chocolate to drink as you sprawled in front of the TV or fireplace.

Now that I'm older, I wish I lived in a climate that knew nothing of the evils of snow. My arms are still sore from scraping off the car more times than should be legally allowed.

have enjoyed this more if thoughts of homework and reading didn't haunt the parts of my mind that morally opposed every extra hour I slept. What fun is a snow day when you have work that knows no holiday?
My nerves are also shot from driving through a city that seems morally opposed to street plows. Nothing that says "enjoy your day off" more than fishtailing through 15th and Iowa.
What was once a great excuse for a day off has turned into my worst enemy. I loathe the snow. I want the reakishly warm weather back.
Or maybe I just need to find my old sled.
I once feared I would wake up and curse the snow. I would pump an angry fist in the air while I used my other hand to scrape a thick layer of ice off my car's windshield. That day has come sooner than I thought.

PERSPECTIVE
Super Bowl hype should focus on game
The Super Bowl is like the homecoming dance. There is a lot of talk of who will be there, what they'll do before it and what they'll do after it.
But even by championship standards, the Super Bowl is the granddaddy of them all.
A lot of planning and preparation go into the game. However, year after year, it never quite lives up to the hype.
In baseball, hockey and basketball a seven-game series decides the best. The Super Bowl is football's one shot at a championship. Whether you have a stomach ache, a sprained ankle, a hangnail or the coach called you a weenie, you play, because there are no second chances.
Every sport has its championship. Baseball has the World Series. Hockey has the Stanley Cup. Basketball has the NBA Finals. NCAA basketball has the Final Four.
The public realizes this, so masses of people tune in to the game. And TV
In addition to advertisers, the Super Bowl brings out the greatest (or should I say most popular) in entertainment as well.
Acts ranging from Michael Jackson to N Sync have graced the stage in recent years. Or let's say that you're Britney Spears and you're not a girl, but you're interested in becoming a woman. What do you do? You play the Super Bowl, as she did last year.
The problem with all this is that the actual game rarely lives up to the hype. It usually never even comes close.
Every year groups of people gather to watch the bowl. They buy the paper plates, pretzels, chips, licorice and beer and get all excited for the game to start. But it's all downhill from there. Year after year, the Super Bowl is just

ride around in the bullpen cart. What you do see is a game that actually seems important.
Football is also infinitely more interesting to watch than baseball, so if the Super Bowl did focus on the game more, the results would be well worth it.
I have a plan for next year's game. The network that plays host to the Super Bowl should make a deal with MTV so that the two stations are one channel apart from each other.
That way, one station will show the actual game while the other shows a special three-hour, all-star TRL hosted by Carson Daly. That way, when the game gets boring, all I have to do is hit the channel up button and Shakira will be looking me right in the eye.

Aaron Wrobleski, graduate student, received a fellowship from the American Chemical Society for his research in the field of medicinal chemistry. Wrobleski is the first medicinal chemistry student to win the fellowship in organic chemistry.
Student awarded fellowship
Bv Sarah Hill
Kansan staff writer
Aaron Wrobleski made University of Kansas history when he was awarded a distinguished organic chemistry fellowship by the American Chemistry Society.
More importantly, Wrobleski, Oglesby, Ill. third-year graduate student, made national history because he is the first medicinal chemistry student in the history of the society to win an organic chemistry fellowship. The society awarded 16 fellowships this year.
Jeff Aubé, professor of medicinal chemistry and Wrobleski's graduate mentor, nominated Wrobleski for the award last year, and said that the award showed the promise of
Wrobleski's work.
"The award is for significant work by an organic chemistry graduate student," he said.
Wrobleski won the award for his work in Aubé's lab on a molecule found in the skin of South American poison dart frogs.
Because the molecule only exists in small quantities in nature, Wrobleski works to make a synthetic form to use in laboratories. Aubé said that the synthetic form is necessary to make enough to test the substance's properties. The molecule has never been tested in a lab to see if it carries any useful medical properties.
"You don't get a lot of these materials," he said. "You can't just go around harvesting frogs."
After he makes enough of the substance, Wrobleksi sends it to a pharmaceutical company for tests. The company will see how the substance reacts with the body.
The fellowship, sponsored by Abbott Laboratories, will pay Wrobleski a stipend of $19,000 for his studies next year. After he graduates in December of 2003, he will work as a post-doctorate student in organic chemistry at the University of California-Irvine.
"It's a really big honor," he said. "It not only says good things about the department as a whole, but also about the good chemistry in our lab."

Rural areas wait for ice storm aid
The Associated Press
About 132,000 people were still without power in Kansas from last week's ice storm, and some areas served by small electric companies may have a long wait in store.
It could be up to two weeks before power is restored in some rural areas, said Allen Zadorozny, manager for the Caney Valley Electric Cooperative, which serves Chautauqua County and most of Elk County.
The co-op has about 1,000 downed electric poles, he said.
"It's real slow going because there's so much damage," Zadorozny said.
Eldon Bedene, director of Crawford County Emergency Management, said residents teamed with 10 members of the Kansas National Guard, who brought three dump trucks to help clear debris from the storm.
Discarded trees and limbs were stacked 10 feet high along neighborhood curbs and stretched for blocks throughout the county, Bedene said.
"They didn't even make a dent in it," he said. "It looks like a tornado went through Crawford County."
The number of people still without power was down from 177,000 on Friday,the adjutant general's office said.
Officials from Kansas Emergency Management and the Federal Emergency Management Agency began to survey the damage in the Kansas City metro area Saturday.
Joy Moser, representative for the adjutant general's office.
said the crew would move south through the state to estimate the loss to utility companies, roads and other infrastructures.
The estimation could help determine whether insurance will cover losses and whether communities need additional assistance, possibly from the federal level. Mosersaid.
Help came to other counties Saturday from the Kansas Department of Transportation. About 30 crews of volunteers removed storm debris from Allen, Elk, Wilson and other counties, she said.
Gov. Bill Graves declared a state of emergency for 22 counties, mainly in the southeast area of the state. The governor ordered the Kansas Division of Emergency Management to help local communities deal with the storm.
Around the state, 175 people were in 20 emergency shelters opened by the American Red Cross.
The busiest shelters were in Garnett, where 62 people sought shelter Friday, and Arkansas City, where 50 people staved the night in a shelter.
The Red Cross has not opened that many emergency shelters in Kansas since the 1993 floods, representative Andrea Anglin said.
Jim Phillips, meteorologist with Weather Data, said the weather in the next few days shouldn't hamper the cleanups throughout the state. Temperatures today are expected to be in the lower 40s.
"It's above freezing, and that's all that matters," he said.
IS GOD CALLING YOU AND GETTING A BUSY SIGNAL?
In today's world, it's so easy to lose sight of why we're really here. So perhaps the thought of devoting your entire life to God has never crossed your mind.
Then again maybe it has. Maybe you're one of the rare women who are being called by God to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. And if you'd only take a moment to really listen to your inner voice, God will get through.
We are the Sisters of St. Joseph, an international order with roots right here in Wichita. And we invite you to come live a life of holiness, in a community where we strive for unity and reconciliation among all people with God and with one another. Ours is a community of prayer and service. Our dedication to God motivates us and is the source of joy for all that we do.
But how can you know if you truly have been called? Do you feel a longing for more in your life? Do you feel a void in your heart? Do you radiate joy? Does love pour out of your smile and do you long to follow Jesus?
If so, you owe it to yourself to answer God's call. To learn more about The Sisters of St. Joseph, call or visit us online. You'll be eternally grateful you did.

Aaron Wrobleski, graduate student, received a fellowship from the American Chemical Society for his research in the field of medicinal chemistry. Wrobleski is the first medicinal chemistry student to win the fellowship in organic chemistry.
Student awarded fellowship
Bv Sarah Hill
Kansan staff writer
Aaron Wrobleski made University of Kansas history when he was awarded a distinguished organic chemistry fellowship by the American Chemistry Society.
More importantly, Wrobleski, Oglesby, Ill. third-year graduate student, made national history because he is the first medicinal chemistry student in the history of the society to win an organic chemistry fellowship. The society awarded 16 fellowships this year.
Jeff Aubé, professor of medicinal chemistry and Wrobleski's graduate mentor, nominated Wrobleski for the award last year, and said that the award showed the promise of
Wrobleski's work.
"The award is for significant work by an organic chemistry graduate student," he said.
organic培养基 give Wrobleski won the award for his work in Aubé's lab on a molecule found in the skin of South American poison dart frogs.
Because the molecule only exists in small quantities in nature, Wrobleski works to make a synthetic form to use in laboratories. Aubé said that the synthetic form is necessary to make enough to test the substance's properties. The molecule has never been tested in a lab to see if it carries any useful medical properties.
"You don't get a lot of these materials," he said. "You can't just go around harvesting frogs."
After he makes enough of the substance, Wrobleski sends it to a pharmaceutical company for tests. The company will see how the substance reacts with the body.
The fellowship, sponsored by Abbott Laboratories, will pay Wrobleski a stipend of $19,000 for his studies next year. After he graduates in December of 2003, he will work as a post-doctorate student in organic chemistry at the University of California-Irvine.
"It's a really big honor," he said. "It not only says good things about the department as a whole, but also about the good chemistry in our lab."

Rural areas wait for ice storm aid
The Associated Press
About 132,000 people were still without power in Kansas from last week's ice storm, and some areas served by small electric companies may have a long wait in store.
It could be up to two weeks before power is restored in some rural areas, said Allen Zadorozny, manager for the Caney Valley Electric Cooperative, which serves Chautauqua County and most of Elk County.
The co-op has about 1,000 downed electric poles, he said.
"It's real slow going because there's so much damage," Zadorozny said.
Eldon Bedene, director of Crawford County Emergency Management, said residents teamed with 10 members of the Kansas National Guard, who brought three dump trucks to help clear debris from the storm.
Discarded trees and limbs were stacked 10 feet high along neighborhood curbs and stretched for blocks throughout the county. Bedene said.
"They didn't even make a dent in it," he said. "It looks like a tornado went through Crawford County."
The number of people still without power was down from 177,000 on Friday,the adjutant general's office said.
Officials from Kansas Emergency Management and the Federal Emergency Management Agency began to survey the damage in the Kansas City metro area Saturday.
Joy Moser, representative for the adjunct general's office.
said the crew would move south through the state to estimate the loss to utility companies, roads and other infrastructures.
The estimation could help determine whether insurance will cover losses and whether communities need additional assistance, possibly from the federal level, Moser said.
Help came to other counties Saturday from the Kansas Department of Transportation. About 30 crews of volunteers removed storm debris from Allen, Elk, Wilson and other counties, she said.
Gov. Bill Graves declared a state of emergency for 22 counties, mainly in the southeast area of the state. The governor ordered the Kansas Division of Emergency Management to help local communities deal with the storm.
Around the state,175 people were in 20 emergency shelters opened by the American Red Cross.
The busiest shelters were in Garnett, where 62 people sought shelter Friday, and Arkansas City, where 50 people staved the night in a shelter.
The Red Cross has not opened that many emergency shelters in Kansas since the 1993 floods, representative Andrea Anglin said.
Jim Phillips, meteorologist with WeatherData, said the weather in the next few days shouldn't hamper the cleanups throughout the state. Temperatures today are expected to be in the lower 40s.
"It's above freezing, and that's all that matters," he said.
IS GOD CALLING YOU AND GETTING A BUSY SIGNAL?
GOSHAN SADHA AND RITA SADHA
ALFRED EINSTEIN
In today's world, it's so easy to lose sight of why we're really here. So perhaps the thought of devoting your entire life to God has never crossed your mind.
Then again maybe it has. Maybe you're one of the rare women who are being called by God to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. And if you'd only take a moment to really listen to your inner voice, God will get through.
We are the Sisters of St. Joseph, an international order with roots right here in Wichita. And we invite you to come live a life of holiness, in a community where we strive for unity and reconciliation among all people with God and with one another. Ours is a community of prayer and service. Our dedication to God motivates us and is the source of joy for all that we do.
But how can you know if you truly have been called? Do you feel a longing for more in your life? Do you feel a void in your heart? Do you radiate joy? Does love pour out of your smile and do you long to follow Jesus?
If so, you owe it to yourself to answer God's call. To learn more about the Sisters of St. Joseph, call or visit us online. You'll be eternally grateful you did.

Player intent on preparing for fulfilling final season
Professional football's sexiest stage did not hypnotize Kansas football's most seasoned veteran.
Yes, 22-year-old Harrison Hill watched New England stun St. Louis last night. But he resisted the temptations linked with Super Bowl Sunday.
No guzzling beer. No chomping chips and chasing them with salsa. No gawking at six Playmates on NBC's Fear Factor during halftime.
Well, he might have peeked at Playboy's risk-takers, but he drank Gatorade.
Hill, who was granted a rare sixth year of eligibility last month by the NCAA, rose before the sun from a deep sleep this morning. It's 5:15 a.m. It's seven months from the football season. And Hill has to go to work — conditioning begins as a 6 o'clock appetizer, pounding iron in the weight room follows as the main course and going to a sports management class in the afternoon is his dessert. This is Hill's daily meal.
He has to get ready for the season now.
"I felt that I had to have a sixth year to finish my career off the way it should be finished," said Hill, who turned down Kansas State, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Notre Dame because his heart was set on Kansas. Hill missed all but two games this year with a shattered shoulder blade.
"It would have been the worst year of my life playing for that team. We were garbage. We sucked.
"We had no discipline the past four years, going around doing whatever we want. No consequences for anything that we would do. It was a joke. But the whole attitude around the program has changed. I don't see any reason why we can't be a top-10 program in the next few seasons. It's all about the attitude. We're going to win now."
Not many people know the price Hill has paid for almost a decade — freakish dehydration that stings him every summer.
The rage blurs his vision, buckles his knees and loosens his stomach. The horror shed 30 pounds from his 178-pound frame in one game during his sophomore year in high school at Wichita Collegiate. The plague almost caused him to quit.
During two-a-day practices in 2000, Hill was spent.
"I was jacked up," Hill said. "I was so dizzy, I couldn't see. I'd just pass out. I didn't know what day it was. I would go home and throw up for three hours until the next practice. I wasn't going to sit out, but after the fifth day in a row I was like this... I just couldn't get through this crap. I couldn't play football."
So he slipped out of his pads, grabbed his keys and drove home. The infliction had become too overpowering. But after talking with his father, Hill decided to return to Lawrence.
Dehydration would not deter the dream. And 18 months after nearly quitting football, staying around for a sixth season was the only route a winner would take, he said.
He understands the stakes. No more Get-Out-of-Jail-Free cards. No sixth year tagged on to his five-year prison stint in Lawrence.
"If we don't change things to turn this program around then I didn't do my job here." Hill said.
And turning it around starts today.

'Hawks opt for showing, not telling
By Doug Pacey Kansan sportswriter
The thing about trash-talk is it's just that — tell-
The thing about bosses is that it doesn't matter what you say, how loud you say it or how much verbal venom spews from your mouth. If you can't back up your words, everything that's been said becomes moot.
Colorado found that out the hard way Saturday.
Colorado found that After a week of saying, "Kansas will get theirs," the Buffaloes were the ones shown to the door after the No. 2 Jayhawks beat them for the 26th straight time with a 100-73 rout at Allen Fieldhouse.
"The game is to be sold, not to be told," Drew Gooden said. "You can show someone better than you can tell them."
Kansas (19-2 overall. 8-0 Big 12 Conference) led by as many as 42 points, but a lackluster final four minutes let Colorado (12-7, 3-5) narrow that margin.
It didn't matter. It was too little, too late.
Three Jayhawks — Jeff Boschee, Nick Collison and Gooden scored 20 points each. It was the first time that happened since Dec.10,1988,and it almost could've been four as Kirk Hinrich finished with 16 points.
"I've said millions of times, it's harder to guard a team when more than one guy does the scoring." coach Roy Williams said. We've got unselfish players out there that do share the basketball when they see a teammate with a better shot.
"We have the ability to score from a lot of positions, a lot of angles, a lot of ways."
Gooden worked it inside and out, making deep baseline jumpers and low-post hook shots. Collision made a season-high 10 of 17 attempts. Bosche connected on four of eight three-pointers.
"We could've had four guys with 20 points," Gooden said. "I don't know how you defend that."
Neither did Buffaloes coach Ricardo Patton.
"They have great team chemistry out there," Patton said. "The sky is the limit for this team. Their guards are so smart and tough, which makes them very difficult to guard. They have two big guys that can really run the floor and that helps them out."
After the game, Williams downplayed the trash-talking that happened last week and during the game.
"I think a lot of stuff gets blown out of proportion," he said. "Last year Nick Collision made a hard foul and in the heat of battle you react... Today, there was the same kind of foul. There were some things said and things after the game. Those kids forgot what they said after they said it."

State (they've also won 18 in a row in Manhattan) on the line when the in-state rivals play at 8 p.m. tonight at Bramlage Coliseum, where Kansas is undefeated in 13 games.
"Every year before the game, they talk about the streak," Kirk Hinrich said. "I think the reason there is a streak is because we got ready to play, we didn't worry about the past."
But streaks don't last — that's why they're called streaks. DiMaggio didn't get a hit in the 57th game.

Track and field team looks forward to Iowa meet after latest scores
By Matt Norton
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas track and field team will head into this weekend's Iowa State University Invitational in Ames, Iowa, riding a wave of encouraging performances from last Friday's Jayhawk Invitational held in Anschutz Sports Pavilion.
Scott Russell broke the collegiate record in the 35-pound weight throw. Russell heaved the weight 80-4 1/4, besting the existing record of 80-2. However, a broken chain link that connected the weight to the handle caused Russell's implement to be 2 mm too long for record purposes.
The senior from Windsor, Ontario said he was surprised at his mighty toss.
"With how we've been lifting this week, I wasn't expecting this," Russell said. "And I was throwing horrible in practice this week."
Assistant coach Doug Reynolds said Russell had set personal bests in the front squat three times and a best in the standard squat on Thursday.
Shameika McField and Robbie Harriford, who had competed in the 400- and 200-meter dashes last week, respectively, finished 1-2 in the 60-meter dash. McField edged ahead of her teammate with a time of 7.63 seconds. Harriford came across the line in 7.68 seconds.
Sophomore Laura Lavoie dropped down event lengths from the mile to the 800 meters and set a new personal best of 2 minutes,10.77 seconds.Lavoe finished ahead of senior Katy Eisenmenger's new best of 2:12.18.
Lavie said she would need to run 2:07.30 to ensure her place in the meet and could get it on the fast track surface in Ames.
"It would be awesome — I don't want to wait until next year." Lavioie said of qualifying for nationals.

HOROSCOPES
A
Today's Birthday (Feb. 4). Some years you go forward, but this year you'll go back. Review what you should know by now, and dig into it even further. An old area of study regains your interest, as you discover all sorts of new treasures.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7. This is not a good day for a team effort, even if your team is raring to go. More planning is required. Seems like you've been doing nothing else. You're advancing, and thereby encountering a whole new set of problems. Take 'me' an at time.
Taurus (Anril 20-Mav 20). Today is a 7.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7.
Stand back a bit and let someone else
speak for you. This person can state your
case better than you can. Besides, that
frees you up to do something else. A strong
advocate for your cause is a solid investment.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 7.
It may be difficult to express what's on your mind, especially when it comes to money. Get your facts straight before you speak. In about 10 days, it'll get easier. From now until then, do the homework.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7. You're still facing all sorts of problems, including a few technical difficulties, but you're not facing them alone. You have a powerful person on your side. If you feel overwhelmed, call for help.
Lee (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 7.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 7. You're a natural-born leader, but lately you've felt more like a follower. Don't fight it. Learn as much as you can from the experience.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22). Today is a 6.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today I have made time to work on your schedule and rearrange your priorities. Some things you wanted to do now will have to be postponed, but other opportunities arise. A conversation with someone you love brings needed support and encouragement. Make the call.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22). Today is a 7.
Libra (sept. 23-Oct. 22): Today, Love is going to have to wait while you take care of business. Promise to meet tomorrow night instead of tonight. If you hustle, you'll have done enough by then to justify (and pay for) another wild fling.
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 6
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 6.
Evaluate your plans with a critical eye.
Now is the time to decide what to toss and
what to save. Sell the valuable stuff so that
you can buy something special. Nothing
says you have to lose money on this deal.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 7. Things seem like they aren't working, but just wait. You will experience three or four difficult situations before everything falls into place. Don't give up.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 5.
Most things will take longer than expected and require more effort. Start shopping for the next big item on your list. An insider tip could lead you right to it.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 7.
Pay attention to what's going on behind the scenes. That's where the action is. Ask a few leading questions and get the clues you've been after.
C
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 6.
You're more decisive now. You can see that
some of the tasks on your list no longer
need to be done. Scratch them off without a
twinge of guilt. This makes the rest much
more manageable.

Patriots stun Rams in final minute
The outside of the Superdome looked more like a military compound than a football stadium yesterday, complete with soldiers on the ground and sharpshooters on the roof.
The Associated Press
But the real action came inside, where Adam Vintager kicked a 48-yard field goal with no time left to lift the New England Patriots to a heartstopping 20-17 victory over the St. Louis Rams.
NEW ORLEANS — A thrilling finish. A huge upset. Indeed, America got a Super Bowl that was worth all the fuss.
LAUTORAT DE LA JUSTICE
The most secure NFL title game ever was also an old-fashioned thriller that lived up to the hype — a shocking upset, a true testament to why football is the country's favorite sport.
And of course, with a game awash in flag waving, nobody could overlook the nickname of the winner — the Patriots, a 14-point underdog who went 5-11 in 2000 and weren't picked to do much better this season.
SCORPIUS
Vinatieri's game-winner will look great on his resume, above even the 45-yarder he kicked in the snow to send New England's first playoff game into overtime.
"We're all Patriots, and tonight, the Patriots are world champions." New England owner Robert Kraft said.
"He's been dependable and he'sbeen ourclutchguyallyear," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said.
弓
The game-winner was set up by a 53-yard drive engineered over the final 1:21 without any outtimes by Tom Brady — the
S
quarterback who came from nowhere to replace superstar Drew Bledsoe.
"I knew they would give me the chance because we have a ton of champions," Vinatieri said. "I've never been so proud to be a member of anything in my life. We shocked the world, but we didn't shock ourselves."
The Patriots became the biggest underdog to win since Joe Namath and the New York Jets, 18-point underdogs against the Baltimore Colts, won 16-7 in 1969.
Washing Hands
The Pats finally put their name on the Vince Lombardi Trophy after 42 years in existence. They had made two previous trips to the Super Bowl, both in New Orleans, but they had never seen the Big Easy in this light.
The emotional peak came at halftime, when rock band U2 sang its haunting hit, "Where the Streets Have No Name," while the names of the victims of the terrorist attacks were displayed.
It was an eye-opening spectacle — as much about military might outside as the football inside — and yet another jarring reminder of how much has changed since Sept. 11.
Nobody had.
The pregame and halftime shows were awash in patriotism and remembrance.
But nothing could have
topped the way the game ended.
Ticketholders arrived up to five hours early to guarantee they wouldn't miss the start. Lines stacked up outside the 8-foot high fences and concrete barriers
"We shocked the world!" Patriots safety Lawyer Milloy said.
Fans stood in queue an hour or longer to make their way into the dome, waiting to be patted down by security guards, then getting in another line to pass through metal detectors.
surrounding the stadium.
There were sharpshooters walking the perimeter of the Superdome, and uniformed soldiers all over New Orleans. A nofly zone was in effect over the stadium.
"It's a sign of the times," Patriots fan Tricia McCarthy said. "Whenever you have big crowds somewhere, you have to worry about terrorism. It's pretty sad to say."
The Secret Service coordinated the biggest security effort in the history of football, ensuring New Orleans would be the safest place in America on Sunday. The nation's leaders knew there was more than a game hanging in the balance.
"We will always be alert to the possibility of a terrorist event at a high-profile event like the Super Bowl, like the Olympics," Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
It's the most-anticipated single sporting event in the country, an unofficial national holiday of sorts, watched by 130 million viewers last year.
some say it's a tribute to excess — that no game is worth this much attention. But in a way, that's what made it even more important in the post-Sept. 11 world. Football is an entrenched symbol of American culture, and not playing the biggest football game of all was never an option.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 3B
Team loses tenth game in a row
By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter
The first half of Saturday's game at No. 4 Oklahoma must have seemed like déjà vu for the Kansas women's basketball team.
After scoring a season-low 12 first half points at Colorado a few days earlier, the Jayhawks tied that mark in a 79-57 loss to the Sooners (18-2 overall, B-1 Big 12 Conference). Kansas trailed 34-12 at halftime, and despite a strong second half, the Hawks (5-18, 0-10) lost their tenth straight game.
Kansas had persistent offensive problems early, shooting just 19 percent in the first half.
Senior Nikki White, who finished with five points and five rebounds, said her team struggled to work together offensively.
"We know our offenses but if one person breaks down then we're not really on the same page." White said. "If we can really look for our main scorers more, then we should be able to put up more points."
The Jayhawks once again got a boost from senior guard Selena Scott, who broke out of a small mid-season scoring slump. Scott netted a team-high 20 points — 18 in the second half — on 8-of-11 shooting while grabbing her 200th career rebound.
early 21-2 lead, guided by junior Caton Hill. The forward connected on her first two shots and ended the opening half with 11 points.
The Sooners jumped to an
"Great opening 10 minutes," Sooner coach Sherri Coale said. "I thought we were really, really good coming out of the tunnel. Caton was great. She is such a good player, such a good shooter."
The layhawks will attempt to pick up their first conference victory Wednesday evening at home against No. 16 Iowa State.

Tennis squad defeats Shockers
By Jonah Ballow Kansan sportswriter
Freshman tennis player Paige Brown is sure her team will succeed this spring.
"I'm so confident that we are going to be good this year," she said after Saturday's season opener against Wichita State.
Brown had a reason for those feelings after the Jayhawks' 7-2 victory over the Shockers at Alvamar Racquet Club.
Brown and sophomore Emily Haylock teamed up for the first time at No. 2 doubles and beat the Shockers 8-1.
"She is so good at the net, so I was able to just concentrate on serving and she would put it
The pair did well in their singles matches too. Brown breezed by Sarah Dangos, 6-0, 6-0, at No. 4 singles, while Haylock defeated Annelie van der Heever at No. 2 singles, 7-5, 6-2.
away," Brown said of her partner.
Senior Cheryl Mallaiah, the central region's preseason 15th-ranked singles player, struggled early during her No. 1 singles match against Amanda Cervantes.
"When I was up, I was playing aggressive and I missed some ground strokes," Haylock said. "I had a lapse but I re-focused and then I was able to come back and get the win."
Mallaiah lost the first set 6-2.
won the second set 6-1,but lost the third set in a tiebreak 7-6 (7-4).
"It was a good first effort," said Kilmey Waterman. "Our team was a little nervous and some of our matches were really close."
The Tulsa Golden Hurricane are scheduled to meet the Jayhawks at 2 p.m. Saturday at Alvamar. Tulsa comes into the match with a 4-0 record and four singles players ranked in the preseason top 20 by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association.

Angelou to join Hallmark

"It lowers the understanding of what poetry actually can do," said Billy Collins, the poet laureate of the United States and a fellow Random House author. "Hallmark cards has always been a common phrase to describe verse that is really less than poetry because it is sentimental and unoriginal."
fessor-actress-director-singer lives mostly in North Carolina and also has a home in Atlanta.
At first, Angelou was cool to the idea. But after meeting with executives of the Kansas City, Mo.-based company, she warmed.
"I said, 'I'm thinking about doing something with Hallmark.' And he said, 'You're the people's poet. You don't want to trivialize yourself.' So I said OK and I hung up. And then I thought about it. And I thought, if I'm the people's诗 then I ought to be in the people's hands — and I hope in their hearts. So I thought, "Hmm, I'll do it."
Poet to collaborate with K.C. company on line of cards, gifts
Then she went to her editor at Random House with the proposal.
"They were white and black, and they were women and Spanish speaking. That pleased me, obviously. ... So I listened," Angelou said in an interview at her flower-filled upper West Side pied a-terre. The 73-year-old poet-writer-pro
Hallmark would not divulge what it had paid Angelou. However, Paul Barker, senior vice president for creative development at Hallmark, said, "Retailers are very positive about how well it is moving."
And now Hallmark's in-house poet.

Former champions honored at halftime
By Brent Wasko
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas basketball coach Roy Williams told his team before its Saturday game at Allen Fieldhouse to make some special alumni in attendance proud.
The Iavhawks didn't disappoint.
Kansas blew away the Buffaloes 10073 to the delight of 13 members of the Jayhawks' 1952 NCAA national championship team, who were honored at halftime as part of a 50th anniversary weekend celebration.
Players from the 1952 team were individually spotlighted at halftime, including B.H. Born, Bob Kenney, Clyde Lovellette, Jerry Alberts, Larry Davenport, Everett Dye, Bill Heitholt, Charlie Hoag, Bill Hougland, Allen Kelley, Bill Lienhard and Dean Smith.
Former student manager Wayne Louderback was also honored. Dean Kelley and John Keller, who have both died, were paid tribute during the ceremony.
"We wanted to make sure we played really hard," junior forward Nick Collison said. "I think Coach wants them to be proud of us, and we wanted to impress them."
The crowd gave the team a thunderous standing ovation as Al Bohl, athletics director, reenacted the 1952 national championship trophy presentation. University officials presented the former players with a team painting by artist Ted Watts, which will hang in the halls of the fieldhouse.
"I was kind of mad I wasn't out there to see them, but I think it was special," Kansas junior forward Drew Gooden said. "To win a championship and still be here today and get honored like that, I think that's something I look for in my life."
The current Jayhawks have work to do if they hope to accomplish more than the '52 squad. Kansas cruised by St. John's 80-63 in the 1952 national title game and finished with a 28-3 record under coach Phog Allen.
Lovellette is the only player in NCAA history to win a national championship and lead the country in scoring in the same season. He and six other Kansas players took home the gold medal at the 1952 Olympic games in Helsinki, Finland.
Dean Smith made a name for himself as well, becoming the most winning coach in NCAA history while at North Carolina.

Swimmers get win they wanted
Senior women savor last victory at home against Arkansas
By Ali Brox Kansan sportswriter
On the day set aside in recognition of the senior members of the Kansas swimming and diving team, two of the honorees made sure their final home meet was a success.
Senior swimmer Carolyn Horwitz and senior diver Rebecca McFall, both won two events and helped Kansas beat Arkansas 169-130.
Horwitz captured the Jayhawks first event win in the 200 free. She also was a part of Kansas' first-place 400 free relay team.
McFall's wins came in the one and three-meter board competitions.
"It was nice to win my events and finish with a bang." McFall said. "I hope I can keep diving well and consistently."
"They kept talking all week about doing it for the seniors, but it was more of a team thing." Horwitz said. "It was really good to have your last home meet be one where you could show off and do your best."
tenty. The seniors had a lot of help from their teammates, including freshman Amy Gruber.
Gruber, who is from Arkansas and was recruited by the Razorbacks,
She also anchored the winning 400 free relay team that included seniors Horwitz and Carrie Kirkham.
paced the Jayhawks with three individual event wins — the 100 back, 100 free and 100 fly.
"It seems that when we have close meets, it always comes down to last relays and who's on the end is the one who is under pressure a little bit," coach Cathy Burgess said. "But after Amy's day, you wouldn't doubt she was going to stick all she had for it."
going to it.” It was pretty intense,” Gruber said about the final relay. “I was pretty nervous. Even before you're swimming you're thinking this is the last one for the seniors.”
Junior Gwen Haley added two wins for Kansas in the 200 fly and 400 IM, and sophomore Kristen Johnson led the Jayhawks' only 1-2-3 sweep in the 200 breast.
She was followed by Haley and freshmen Miranda Isaac.
Although the meet was much closer than their previous 185-94 win against Nebraska, the Jayhawks are right where they want to be.
"Arkansas is a great team and we match up well," Burgess said. "To win this meet is a great win for us. We've really stepped up time-wise. We've gotten faster. We have less than three weeks until our Big 12 Championship. We're right on target."

and North Carolina State won the title in 1974.
"After beating Texas and defeating the No. 9 team, these are great confidence boosters going into the KU game," K-State junior forward Pervis Pasco said.
Someday, No. 2 Kansas (19-2 overall, 8-0 Big 12) will lose to K-State (9-10, 3-5). That game might be sooner than some expected.
some other last week, K-State played some of its best basketball in years. With victories at home against Texas (14-7, 5-3) last Wednesday and No. 9 Oklahoma State (17-5, 4-5) Saturday, the Wildcats say they're ready for the Jayhawks.
And there's something about rivalry games that brings out the best in an underdog opponent. Hinrich said he expects K-State to be prepared.
"I think since [Wildeats] coach Jim Woolridge took over, they've played a lot harder against us," the junior guard said.
But this year's Kansas squad doesn't want to be the one to lose to the Wildcats and break the streak.
“Coach Williams always says someday it's going to be broken,” Boschee said. “But if we can put it off one more year, that would be good.”

Ethernet overload irks student users
By Melissa Shuman Kansan staff writer
When she surfs the Internet, Kristin Wilcox has to wait several minutes just to check her e-mail.
"They kick you off and it's really slow," the Overland Park junior said. "If you're checking your Hotmail, sometimes it takes forever."
Last November, Networking and Telecommunications Services began limiting bandwidth usage for residence hall ethernet accounts.
John Louis, director of NTS, said bandwidth was limited because students who wanted to use the Internet for research complained about it being too slow.
Last August, NTS began monitoring bandwidth usage and found that more than 80 percent of the usage was entertainment files.
"We don't know what songs they're downloading or what Web page they're
on," Louis said. "But we do know if they're downloading using an MP3 or Morpheus application."
Louis said NTS wanted to to limit entertainment usage so students could use the Internet for academics.
NTS has proposed charging a flat rate starting next fall for 860 megabytes per month and charging students for extra usage beyond that.
"Students can have unlimited usage, but they will have to pay for it," he said.
Students now pay $14 per month for an ethernet account. The proposed plan would charge $14 for 860 megabytes per month. Louis said he wanted to get student input before deciding on a new payment plan.
Wilcox said she didn't download many MP3s, but simple Web surfing was slow.
She said paying a little extra for entertainment wouldn't be so bad if her Internet would work.
"I guess it's OK, but separate payments for my roommates would get
complicated," Wilcox said.
The other option for students who want to use the Internet for academic purposes is a dial-in account. Though a dial-in account is slower and can't download MP3s and games as fast, it still works for research.
Jerree Catlin, associate director of Academic Computing Services, said the ethernet was 1,000 times faster than a dial-in account.
"It takes too long to download for some computers, and students prefer other options so they can get games or music." Catlin said.
Louis said NTS didn't have the resources for a high bandwidth in the residence halls, but computer labs were more than capable.
more than equitable "Students are welcome to download MP3s in the computer lab if they want." Louis said.

KU Public Safety Office hurt by fewer officers
By Rachel Keesee Kansan staff writer
As the student population at the University of Kansas continues to grow, the KU Public Safety office is struggling to keep up with commissioned officers.
In 1984, the student population at KU was 24,400 and there were 37 commissioned officers, said Lt. Schuyler Bailev of the KU Public Safety Office.
Officers per 10,000 students
However, now the student population on the Lawrence campus has grown by more than 1,000 students, and the KU Public Safety Office works with only 28 commissioned officers
Chris Keary, assistant director of police for the KU Public Safety office, said the University controlled the number of positions the office had.
Having fewer officers is especially difficult because of high turnover. Keary
"We can't fill more positions than what is allotted because the budget won't allow for it." Keary said.

said the hiring and training process to replace officers is lengthy and expensive.
it takes us 11 months from hiring to getting someone on the street by himself," he said. "That includes the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Academy and a 12-week training program we have."
He said most officers left for a higher
paying job.
"Last time it was a sergeant who went to become director of investigations for the Kansas State Fire Marshall's Office." Keary said.
Office. Kansas State University is also experiencing the same problems with fewer commissioned officers, said Capt. Robert Mellgren of the K-State Police Department.
"In the last three or four years, we've lost seven or eight officers," he said. "Every time we fill one position, we lose another one."
As with the KU Public Safety Office, Mellgren said most officers left for a better salary. Salaries for officers at Kansas universities are regulated by the Board of Regents, Keary said. The starting wage for a new trainee is $11.98 per hour, or roughly $25,000 per year, he said.

Plans for new rec center advance
By Meredith Carr Kansan staff writer
Michael Mayo, vice president of the Ken Ebert Design Group based in Manhattan, said the last day to have a bid would be Wednesday, Feb. 20. The design group is in charge of designing the building.
Mary Chappell, director of recreation services, and a group of architects representing the University proposed plans for the new recreation center yesterday afternoon to about 25 prospective building contractors from across the state.
The new center will be located between Watkins Memorial Health Center and 18th Street in the vacant lot west of parking lot 90:
The ground breaking is set for 4 p.m.
Friday, April 12. Chappell will
"We chose this site for the new recreation facility because it's the last open space left on campus," said Bob Rombach of design and construction management.
Ideas on how to build the new center were taken from other university recreation centers, such as ones at Kansas State, Colorado State, University of Miami at Ohio, Kent State and Oregon State.
Jessica Bankston, a holdover student senator, has been working on the project since September 1998. She was a member of a task force for the new center
The new recreation center will be paid for by students, who approved a fee increase in Spring 1999. Students paid a $15 semester fee starting in Fall 2000. This fee paid for the architects and designers to begin work on building ideas and preliminary sketches. Since Fall 2001, students started paying $39 per semester toward the new recreation center. Students pay a total of $62 each
"We are thrilled about finalizing the building." Bankston said. "When the task force surveyed the students, the consensus was they wanted a new rec center."

The building will cost an estimated $14.2 million to build, but the overall budget is $17.1 million, Chappell said.
She said the rest of the budget would be used for building equipment.

KANU, 91.5 FM, currently operates in Broadcast Hall, located between Budig Hall and the Art and Design Building. The station will move to new studios, which will be added on to the Baehr Audio Center, 1120 W. 11th, sometime next year. The ground breaking for the new building is scheduled for next month.
KANU to relocate extend coverage area
University's NPR affiliate public radio station ready for larger facility
By Mike Gilligan Kansan staff writer
KANU radio is moving onto bigger and better things next year.
Gifts from two private donors are allowing KANU, 91.5 FM, the University of Kansas' public radio station and National Public Radio affiliate, to build a new facility and to expand its broadcass area beyond northeast Kansas.
Construction will begin in early March on a 9000-square-foot facility, which will be adjoined to the Bachr Audio Reader Center, 1120 W. 11th St., said Janet Campbell, general manager of KANU.
Campbell said the new facility would help KANU greatly.
"Right now the staff is in three different buildings." she said.
According to Campbell, KANU has employees in Carruth O'Leary Hall Broadcasting Hall and the Baehr Audio Reader Center.
Reader Center "Some employees have to go back and forth between different buildings," Campbell said. "With the new building they won't have to do that."
The new production facility will be much more advanced than the current facility in Broadcasting Hall.
"There will be a live studio that is bigger than the current one," Campbell said. "We will probably have some of the finest recording studios on campus."

looking forward to moving out of Broadcasting Hall.
At the same time, KANU is working to reach more listeners, Campbell said.
"There will be a live studio that is bigger than the current one. We will probably have some of the finest recording studios on campus."
"We are installing a translator in Emporia and hopefully one in Manhattan, too." Campbell said. "Right now we are lust in Lawrence and Atchison."
KANU's Lawrence broadcast tower will remain on West Campus. The tower next to Broadcasting Hall serves KJHK, 90.7 FM. The staff looks forward to moving away from the tower's vicinity.
"There is so much interference from the tower that I can't hear KANU from my own office," Schafer said.
Parking is another problem, Campbell said.
"We have a lot of volunteers and guest musicians." Campbell said. "Now that the building won't be in the middle of campus, parking will be easier."

Bishop: Nature is God's gift to humans
AABON SHOWALTER/KANSAN
Bv Maauie Koerth
Bishop Kallistos Ware, center, visiting from Oxford University, chats with Father Alexander Bugarin of St. George Serbian Orthodox Church in Kansas City, Kan. Bishop Ware presented an informal lecture on the relationship between Christianity and the environment yesterday at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave.
By Maggie Koerth
Kansan staff writer
EXIT
A prominent religious figure visited Lawrence yesterday to explain the connection between Christianity and environmental protection.
The Rt. Rev. Bishop Kallistos Ware spoke to about 60 students and members of the community at Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave.
"This world around us, the created order, the world of nature is a gift. A gift of love from God," said Ware, a recently retired Spaulding lecturer from Oxford, London, England.
Ware is a bishop in the Eastern Orthodox church. He first became interested in the connections between Christianity and environmentalism in 1994 after Patriarch Bartholomew, the church's leader, organized a cruise where religious figures and scientists could discuss the environment.
About a year later, after a similar symposium in Santa Barbara, Calif., Bartholomew issued a statement that declared a crime against the natural world to be a sin.
Ware said this was true for two reasons.
The first is what he called "Eucharistic living," the idea that if nature is a gift, humans should treat it as such.
Ware said humans should live in thankfulness for God's creation. He said that in taking care of the earth, people are giving it back to God as an offering of love.
The second reason was parenthesis, the idea that God is in the world and the world is in God.
Ware said panentheism was different from pantheism, which believes
God is the world and the world is God.
"There is a crucial difference there because panentheism, while saying 'God is everywhere present and in all things,' also says 'God is above and beyond the world, while expressed within.' Ware said.
Thad Holcombe, ECM pastor, said panentheism was an alternate way of understanding creation.
"Traditional Western Christianity tends to see creation as a pyramid with man at the top, then woman and then
the animals and plants," he said.
"Panentheism sees creation more as a web where all things are interconnected and are just as important to God."
Tim Lang, Topeka senior, said he enjoyed the talk and thought the points made were valid, but he wished he saw more evidence of the Orthodox church acting on those points.
Ware said in the Western world the Orthodox church didn't start its own organizations, but did support already formed environmental groups.
"I don't know how involved they are in promoting environmental organizations, but I never hear anything about them," Lang said.
"But certainly in a country like Greece, we do have certain Orthodox groups there who are working for the environment," he said.

Senate creates housing board
By Sarah Hill
Kansan staff writer
Bv Sarah Hill
Student Senate is one step closer to implementing a resource center designed to help students moving to or living off campus.
Justin Mills, student body president, appointed three senators to the Off-Campus Resource Center board at a Senate Meeting last week. The center, slated to open in the Kansas Union next spring, will provide students with information about off-campus housing.
"The center will have materials on all apartments and houses in town, legal services for landlords and tenants and information about utilities," said Kyle Browning, student body vice president and chairman of the resource center board.
Browning said that the center's director will gather and maintain information for students, so everything students might need to know about moving off-campus would be in one place.
Ben Burton, Student Executive Committee chairman, said the idea had been around informally for several years, but the new financial support and Mills' appointments would turn the idea into reality.
Burton said the start-up money came from the Reserve Account Task Force, a committee that distributes extra funds that were not being used. The money is now allocated by the Task Force to long-term projects and big one-time events.
Annmarie Komorowski, Chicago sophomore, said she would use such a center because she lives out-of-state.
"I don't know which neighborhoods are good and those that aren't," she said.

EDITORIAL
Budweiser spots won our votes in Super Bowl
'Kansan' editorial board breaks down its favorite Sunday commercials
Thank goodness for Anheuser-Busch.
As Americans deal with the war against terrorism, a recession and massive winter storms, at least the beer brewer could make us chuckle.
Several Budweiser and Bud Light advertisements clinched top spots in the Kansan editorial board's assessment of commercials broadcast during Sunday night's Super Bowl.
Earning the top prize in our survey of commercial winners was Anheuser Busch's "Satin Sheets" commercial, in which a lethargic husband races upstairs to his awaiting wife, and more importantly, a couple of cold Buds. Unfortunately, he slides on the satin sheets to go flying out the window, landing without his boxes.
Cedric the Entertainer helped Budweiser in another commercial with his matchmaking prowess, as he inadvertently advised a guy to ask his prospective date, "How much?" If the joke doesn't make sense, trust us, you'll get it when you see the commercial for yourself.
Other Anhueser-Busch ads we liked were the ones that featured a fast-talking Texan's bar encounter with a slew of aloof New Jersey fellows, and one that showed a man enjoying his ride with designated driver Dale Earnhardt, Jr.
Here are some other commercials that made our highlight list:
**Levi's Dockers** — Who knew such plain pants could be so funny? It just takes three middle-aged, cross-dressing men to brand Dockers as the man's answer to the "little black dress" and make TV watchers giggle.
■ Smirnoff Ice — Two dorky white guys sneak onto the set of a rap video. It's not brilliant, but we just can't help but enjoy the sight of a couple of dorks making fools of themselves.
Charles Schwab — Taking a hint from Field of Dreams, baseball legend Hank Aaron tries to talk Giants star Barry Bonds into retirement in hopes of keeping his homerun record alive. Definitely a step ahead of your boring standard commercials for investment firms.
United Way — Baltimore Ravens big guy Sam Adams crushes a dummy while demonstrating CPR to a group of youngsters, among other antics. This one gets points for the warm fuzzy feelings mixed with comedy.
Blockbuster Videos — Small furry animals shaking their groove thing. Silly? Yes. Dumb? Probably. Who cares, we liked it way better than that Britney Spears Pepsi epic.
So pay attention, advertisers. On Super Bowl Sunday, we don't care about flu medicine or steak quesaddillas, we just want witty, clever commercials. Anheuser-Busch has already gotten that message.
Kursten Phelps for the editorial board.
PERSPECTIVE
School board set bad example by letting plagiarism slide
The facts are unmistakable. Piper High School teacher Christine Pelton told her biology students in writing that their project would be worth half of their final grade. The document also stated that plagiarism would result in no credit for the entire project.
The student handbook for the Piper School District, in western Wyandotte County, makes clear its policy that even first-offense cheating will result in no credit for the assignment. When the papers were turned in and Pelton noticed that some paragraphs were remarkably similar, she used a free trial of an Internet program to determine whether a student had plagiarized parts of a paper.
She found that 28 of her 118 students had lifted whole paragraphs from Web sites and misrepresented them as their own work. Pelton gave the students no credit for the project, as she had warned. Those 28 students should have failed the class as a result of their plagiarism.
The board reneged its written policy and invalidated Pelton's authority as a teacher. It decided the students would receive partial credit on the plagiarized papers and full credit for the rest of the project. Rather than comply with the board's policy, which would have
However, parents of some of the students complained to the school board.

penalized some students who had not plagiarized, Pelton resigned. Many of her cheating students passed the class as a result of the board's resolution.
The board undermined the authority of a teacher without hearing her side of the dispute.
It waived the district's written policy of no credit for even a first instance of cheating in the student handbook, which it had previously approved.
It also communicated that, under enough pressure, it is perfectly acceptable to ignore academic and moral standards.
It sent a despicable moral message to students, communicating that using another's words and ideas as one's own without citation is OK.
The reasons for the board's failure to uphold academic and moral standards in the Piper School District can only be guessed at because the decision occurred during an executive meeting, and the vice
Nonetheless, it is safe to assume the board agreed that plagiaryism had taken place because it awarded students only partial credit, not full credit, for the plagiaryized papers.
president declined to comment.
It can be assumed that pressure from parents helped the board make its decision. Whatever the board's reasons for making this decision, it did its students a grave disservice in teaching a lesson about academic standards or about life in the real world.
These students were taught that it's fine to use another's words as their own, to refuse to think for oneself. In a real-world scenario, these students might choose to take the easy way out in doing a research project, giving a presentation, or writing a book. They might use another's work and it is doubtful that mommy and daddy (unless they are extremely wealthy) will be able to exert such influence on an employer — or on a judge.
The Piper School District board should have taken a stand on academic and moral standards. It failed to do so. One can only hope that these students are taught this lesson in the near future, before it becomes a matter of a million-dollar lawsuit.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
PAYING ATHLETES
Dear editor.
As I read Kate Eichten's column regarding paying college athletes to play ("Paying athletes: a question that needs to be addressed," Jan. 22), I could not help but pray that this never happens in my lifetime.
Eichten makes valid points about the revenue that college athletes generate for their respective schools, but giving this money to the athletes in the form of a "salary" or "allowance" would completely ruin college sports as we know them.
College athletes play for love of the game. Players play for the fans and their school, exhibiting a sense of pride that you don't find in the professional leagues.
So why would we ever want to change that and turn the focus of the sport away from the game and onto money?
Leave college athletics the way they are. If there are financial problems for the student athletes, let the school help through means of scholarships and financial aid. Just let the players play.

ABORTION DEBATE
The "morning-after pill" is as much an abortion as any clinic operation. It still kills a living child; it still harms a mother both physically and psychologically. A second falsehood presented by Freedman is that "the beginning of life is a mystery."
In the Kansan's attempt to
provide its readers with a face-off about the abortion vs. life issue, it failed miserably. When your columnist Bradley Freedman, who claims to be pro-life, advocates RU-486 as an answer to the debate, he completely distorts his credibility as someone who should be writing on the pro-life side.
A tiny baby in its mother's womb is as much a human life as any one of us: The child has a scientifically verifiable human genetic code, and just as each of us grows and matures, so does this tiny human.
This argument does not coincide with a pro-life viewpoint. No educated medical professional can deny that a human life is present in its earliest form as soon as fertilization takes place.
The opinions that Freedman supplies to support his "pro-life" stance are not in the least supportive of the true pro-life movement. The next time the Kansan decides to run a debate on a baby's right to life, it would be wise to seek out a writer who can truly support the side he or

DRINKING IN DORMS
POSITIVE SELF-IMAGE Dear editor.
I saw the most irresponsible piece of "journalism" I've ever read in the Jan. 24 issue of the Kansan. Matt Gertken blew me away with his audacious and foolhardy comic encouraging drunken driving. The comic depicted a resident assistant telling his residents that they shouldn't be drinking in their
Dear editor,
Even with the anti-alcohol policies, residents live in an almost entirely consequence-free environment. When a student is irresponsible enough to be caught with alcohol in a residence hall, he or she is asked to pour out the liquor, and the responding staff member documents the incident in a report. The final result of the entire process often is nothing more than a slap on the wrist. Repeat offenders might be asked to complete an alcohol education program or in a worst-case scenario the student will be removed from the residence hall.
I don't have sympathy for repeat offenders who can't control themselves. I've had to deal with them. It's easy to drink in the residence halls and never get caught. It's the students who drink irresponsibly and get so
Whatever point Gertken may have been trying to make about residence hall policies was lost on me, as I'm sure it is with most other readers. I guess some people think that the residence hall alcohol policies are too harsh. What they people don't realize is that the entire campus is dry, and the Department of Student Housing has nothing to do with the anti-alcohol policies on campus.
tanked that they can't control themselves who get caught.
Students can and do drink without any major consequences when they are caught. DSH doesn't call the police; they don't even impose fines. The Department of Student Housing makes every effort to keep residents safe. Instead of alienating students to the point of driving drunk, DSH hires and trains RAs and other staff members, all of whom are grossly underpaid, to deal with these residents as one of the many functions of their job.
room, but out drinking and driving instead. Bravo.
I don't have anything against students who drink. I don't have a problem with underage students who drink. I don't even mind that students drink in the residence halls. If it were up to me this would be a wet campus and the legal drinking age would be 18. But it's not up to me, and its part of my job to deal with residents who break the rules. What bothers me is that anybody would suggest drinking and driving as an alternative to drinking in the dorms. I would rather write up a million residents for drinking in the hall than deal with the consequences of a student driving under the influence.

Court rejects young adult's appeal of sodomy law
TOPEKA — The Kansas Court of Appeals has rejected a challenge to a state law punishing young adults who have sex with underage partners more harshly if those partners are of the same gender.
The Associated Press
A three-judge panel ruled against Matthew R. Limon, who was seeking to overturn his sentence of 17 years and two months in prison for having sex with an underage boy in February 2000, when Limon was 18.
The case attracted the attention of the American Civil Liberties Union, which argued the law discriminates against homosexuals, and the DKT Liberty Project, a Washington group with a Libertarian philosophy, which said it represented gender discrimination.
Had either Limon or the other boy been a girl, the maximum sentence would have been one year and three months in prison.
represented a genius.
But in an unsigned opinion issued Friday, Appeals Judges Henry W. Green Jr., David S. Knudson and G. Joseph Pierron Jr. said the U.S. Supreme Court has held that states may treat homosexual acts differently than heterosexual ones.
"Neither does this decision deal with the wisdom of the statute involved, as that is left to the Legislature in our governmental system, with its separation of powers," the appeals panel wrote.
Limon still may appeal the decision to the Kansas Supreme Court.
In 1999 and 2000, Limon was a resident of the Lakemary Center, a school for developmentally disabled young people in Paola.
In February 2000, he performed a sex act with another boy, identified only as M.A.R. who was one month shy of his 15th birthday. Initially, their encounter
was consensual.
The year before the incident, legislators had enacted what became known as the "Romeo and Juliet" law. Named for Shakespeare's fictional young lovers, its goal was to separate consensual teenage sexual relationships from cases in which older adults exploited young children.
It lessened the penalties for unlawful but consensual sexual relations in which one person is under 19 and the other person is between 14 and 16, if their ages are less than four years apart.
The law also ended the requirement that the people convicted in such cases register as sex offenders with local law enforcement officials after their prison terms end.
However, the law applies only when the young sexual partners are of the opposite sex.
Limon was charged and convicted by a judge under an older criminal sodomy law. His juvenile record contained a similar offense from 1998, making his sentence in the latest case more severe.
The ACLU has said four states have laws that could have a similar result under the same circumstances: Alabama, California, Texas and Virginia.
"The argument that it is not made at homosexuals cannot be made with a straight face," the appeals panel said in its decision.
However, the Court of Appeals judges cited a 1986 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that upheld a Georgia law criminalizing consensual sodomy.
"There is no present indication that the decision would be different today," the Kansas judges wrote.
WICHITA — Thousands of Kansas families have returned to their homes after their electricity was restored, but for thousands more it may be days before the power is turned back on.
The Adjutant General's Office said yesterday that about 107,900 Kansas homes were still without power at the latest official count Sunday.
Parts of state still without power
Most customers should have power on by midweek, but some of the hardest hit places — particularly Olathe, Emporia and Arkansas City — may not get electric service until the end of the week, said Kent Myers, spokesman for Westar Energy, the state's largest electric provider.
Westar Energy had roughly 11,000 customers still without power yesterday. Myers said. It has 1,200 people working on restoring power, including crews
But life was returning to normal for thousands of others after last week's three-day ice storm disrupted power for as many as 400,000 people. Ice is blamed for the deaths at least two Kansans in a traffice accident last week.
from Iowa, Nebraska and Colorado.
With power restored to many areas, the American Red Cross has closed 25 of the 28 shelters it had opened throughout the state during the power outages. Shelters remained open yesterday in Arkansas City, Wellington and Garnett.
At least 3,000 homes were without power in Olathe and 3,400 in Arkansas City yesterday. Another 1,900 are without power in Emporia. Outages numbering in the hundreds each were also reported in Mission, Humboldt, El Dorado, Independ-
dence, Fort Scott and Pittsburg.
"Some of these smaller municipalities are having a real rough time," Myers said. "It is kind of hard to get people back up when you have that kind of devastation throughout the state."
Gov. Bill Graves declared a state of disaster for 22 Kansas counties, and three other counties declared a local state of emergency as well.
"The first night all you could hear were sirens running, trees breaking and transformers exploding," said Martha Pate, Red Cross day shelter manager in Arkansas City. "The second night it was pretty much tree branches and transformers and an occasional ambulance. Yesterday afternoon when I went out, it was chain saws. And last night it was generators."
Bill could hike costs for disabled services
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Some parents and advocates for the disabled and mentally ill are concerned about a bill allowing a state agency to impose fees for services to children.
The Department of Social Rehabilitation Services wants the authority to impose fees because of the state's financial problems. SRS officials estimate the agency could raise $1.7 million for the next fiscal year.
But critics say the fees would keep some parents from seeking services for their children, or make those services too expensive for families already facing extraordinary costs in caring for disabled or mentally ill youngsters.
The Senate Ways and Means Committee heard testimony on the bill yesterday but postponed a scheduled
QUESTION Lori Ellis of Circleville, whose 16-year-old son receives therapy for mental illness and is in a jobs program, said she might have to cut back on services if SRS imposes fees.
vote because members had too many questions.
"It's not that my husband and I are unwilling to pay for services," she told the committee. "We feel we do that already."
SRS Secretary Janet Schalansky said yesterday that in the face of the budget problems, her agency wants to
The bill is a small part of legislators' efforts to close a projected $426 million gap between expected revenues and spending commitments for fiscal 2003, which begins July 1. A separate bill in the Senate would cut state spending immediately and carry the cuts into fiscal 2003.
charge for in-home services for the mentally ill and disabled and for programs designed to keep families together.
"Our philosophy behind this was to get some shared responsibility," Schalansky told the committee.
SRS has not proposed a schedule of fees yet, but advocates are worried they could be high for some families. Ellis told legislators she'd heard her family might have to pay $1,000 a month — an impression SRS officials tried to dispel.

Enron chief summoned after refusing to testify
WASHINGTON — A Senate panel prepared to subpoena former Enron Chairman Kenneth Lay after he refused to appear yesterday, and an investigator into Enron's collapse said virtually everyone from top management down knew that Enron was hiding financial losses.
The Associated Press
The Senate Commerce Committee plans to vote on a subpoena today — 24 hours after Lay had been scheduled to testify before two congressional committees on the largest bankruptcy in the nation's history.
A House subcommittee set the stage for its own subpoena to demand Lay's appearance if necessary. The Financial Services subcommittee began its hearing into the Enron collapse yesterday. Lay abruptly canceled his scheduled appearances before the panels on the eve of the hearings.
In testimony prepared for the House panel, William C. Powers, the dean of the University of Texas Law School, said his investigation into Enron's activities found "a systematic and pervasive attempt by Enron's management to misrepresent the company's financial condition."
The House subcommittee voted unanimously to authorize, if necessary, a subpoena directing Lay to testify, but for the time being held off further action.
In the Senate, Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., said at a news conference, "We decided that we really had no choice but to issue a subpoena." Lay "should not have expected it would ever be a walk in the
park" to testify at a congressional hearing, he said. Dorgan acknowledged Lay's Fifth Amendment right to refuse to answer questions when he does appear.
"These inflammatory statements show that ... the tenor of the hearing will be prosecutorial," Silbert said.
Lay canceled his Senate testimony after several senators and House members suggested on Sunday news shows that he and other company executives engaged in criminal acts.
On Saturday, Powers' Enron-authorized review of several of the company's estimated 3,000 off-the-books partnerships found that the energy trader's management concealed financial information from the public.
"What we found was appalling." Powers said in testimony prepared for yesterday's hearing. "...This is a tragedy that could and should have been avoided."
Enron's former chief financial officer, Andrew Fastow, and ex-Enron executive Michael Kopper have indicated they will refuse to answer questions from Congress. Arthur Andersen auditor David Duncan, fired for his role in document shredding, invoked his Fifth Amendment right not to testify Jan. 24.
Andersen was accused in the report of facilitating a series of complicated transactions aimed at helping Enron conceal big losses and debts. Andersen announced Sunday that former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul A. Volcker would head an effort to overhaul the firm's practices.

Bush calls for more tax cuts
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Bush renewed his appeal for an economic stimulus package yesterday as part of his 2003 budget that proposes $591 billion in new tax reductions, including a permanent extension of last year's big tax cut.
The Bush administration is endorsing elements of a House-passed plan that would accelerate income tax cuts now set to take effect in future years and provide a new round of rebate checks of up to $600 aimed at lower-income Americans.
The president also is proposing a range of tax credits or other breaks for health insurance, charitable giving, education, energy conservation and business research and development.
"Unless economic growth can be restored, it will mean fewer jobs, smaller growth in incomes and smaller budget surpluses," budget documents state.
The House measure also would extend unemployment benefits by 13 weeks, help laid-off workers pay for health insurance and allow corporations and small businesses more generous tax breaks for new investment. The Bush plan does not include repeal of the corporate alternative minimum tax — which ensures companies pay at least some taxes — that the president pushed last year.
The budget estimates that the tax cuts and new spending combined would provide $89 billion in economic stimulus in 2002 and $73 billion in 2003.
The biggest tax relief item in the new budget is the $344 billion included for the first years of a permanent extension of the 10-year, $1.35 trillion tax cut enacted last year. That tax cut is now set to expire at the end of 2010 — meaning millions of people could face a huge tax increase without the extension.
needs to be a stimulus package, but they think it really needs to provide stimulus," said Ranit Schmelzer, spokeswoman for Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle. D-S.D.
The Democratic-led Senate is debating a leaner stimulus package. With Republicans holding out for more, an agreement remains uncertain.

Palestinians seek diplomatic aid
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A top Palestinian official called on Secretary of State Colin Powell yesterday, seeking assurances the Bush administration will not sever diplomatic contact with Yasser Arafat.
Ahmed Qureia, speaker of the Palestinian parliament, met first with Assistant Secretary of State William Burns as European and Arab leaders tried to steer the administration to peacemaking amid the bloodshed.
With Ariel Sharon, the Israeli prime minister, due to meet with President Bush on Thursday, the administration continues to give its strong backing to Israel and to insist on action by Arafat
to stop Palestinian attacks.
"We don't believe we've seen a 100 percent effort." Condoleezza Rice, the president's national security adviser, said on Fox News Sunday.
Similarly, Powell said on CBS' Face the Nation that Arafat "has to do a lot more to get the violence under control."
But Powell has balanced his calls for more action by Arafat with assurances he will push for a Palestinian state on land held by Israel once the fighting slows down.
Powell also has countered advice to Bush from Vice President Dick Cheney and Pentagon officials to suspend contact with Arafat in light of the attacks.
So far, Bush has come down
on Powell's side. Sharon is expected to ask the president to break with Arafat, but not with the Palestinian Authority.
Typical of the Europeans' advice was a call by Javier Solana, director of foreign policy for the European Union, for an end to the Middle East stalemate.
Solana said the Palestinian Authority must "do the utmost to stop violence" and "the Israeli government has to begin to get engaged with some political perspective."
Yesterday, Lebanon's prime minister, Rafiq Hariri, urged the United States to reconsider its Mideast policies, saying American support for Israel was likely to destroy chances for peace between the Arabs and Israel.
Economic forum blasts U.S.
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — They came in solidarity to this terror-wounded city.
With the forum wrapping up its five-day session yesterday, some of the criticism has been simple scolding by non-Western leaders. But a large measure has come in public soul-searching by U.S. politicians and business leaders.
But since they arrived, speaker after speaker at the World Economic Forum has lambasted America as a smug superpower, too beholden to Israel at the expense of the Muslim world, and inattentive to the needs of poor countries or the advice of allies.
U. S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D.N.Y., cited a global poll that characterized Americans as selfish and bent on arranging the global economy for their own benefit.
"We've not done our fair share to take on some of the global challenges" such as poverty, disease and women's rights, Clinton said Sunday. "We need to convince the U.S. public that this is a role that we have to play."
Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates warned that the terms of international trade were too favorable to the rich world, a disparity that feeds resentment.
"People who feel the world is tilted against them will spawn the kind of hatred that is very dangerous for all of us," Gates said. "I think it's a healthy sign that there are demonstrators in the streets. They are raising the question of, 'Is the rich world giving back enough?'"
Held in the Swiss ski resort of Davos in its first 31 years, sponsors decided to move this year's forum to New York to show support for the city after the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
About 2,700 corporate and political leaders, clergy and celebrities came to discuss the world's problems, and have spent much time dissecting U.S. foreign policy, its possible role in breeding terrorism and the potential harms of globalization.
Few protesters turned up Sunday near the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, site of the forum, on the fourth day of the conference. But mostly peaceful demonstrations miles from the hotel generated 159 arrests—the largest in a single day since the conference started.
The total arrested so far during the meeting grew to over 200, mostly for disorderly conduct. Two demonstrations were planned yesterday afternoon by a group promoting a wide range of causes, from environmental protection to the cancellation of developing countries' debts.
In a curious convergence, the titans of business and politics at the meeting have seized on many of the same socially liberal issues that they have been accused of ignoring at past gatherings.
The forum's agenda may have taken some of the steam out of street protests, which were sparse except for Saturday's turnout of about 7,000 demonstrators.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 5). As you gain status, sometimes you leave old friends behind. Don't worry: The best of them will always be there for you, and new friends are yet to be met. You'd never have had the chance to know them if you hadn't climbed this far.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 6.
Take it slow and easy. Don't let a manipulative person get you riled. Exploding into a fit of rage isn't in your best interest, even if it would be fun. Use the energy for something more productive.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Todav is a 6.
You and your partner need to figure out how divvy up the loot. Make time for a meeting to discuss your options. Make educational materials, or something that makes the job easier, a top priority.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6.
Your job may seem overwhelming. Maybe it's because you feel underappreciated. Change that by doing more than is expected. You'll feel better about yourself and make more money.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 6.
What you need is a plan. Your life will get a lot simpler once you've worked one out. Get a loved one who's a good strategist to help. Do it now, because you'll be too busy over the next few days.

Rioting, injuries follow high school ball game
射箭
The Associated Press
SHARON, Pa. - A crowd turned on police officers attempting to break up a fight at a basketball game between rival schools, slightly injuring at least three officers.
Jesse Wilson, 20, a defensive back for the University of Cincinnati football team, was arrested on aggravated assault and riot charges. Police said more arrests were expected following the Saturday night fight, which involved as many as 100 people.
The fight broke out in a packed gymnasium at Sharon High School with about two minutes remaining in the game between the Sharon Tigers and
"This has been a pretty heated rivalry for about 50 years, but this is the first time we've seen anything of this scale," said Capt. Michael Mester of the Sharon police department.
Officers from five area police departments responded to calls for assistance after the crowd turned on officers, punching and kicking them and grabbing for their guns, he said.
also not aware of any severe injuries to people attending the game."
Police yesterday were conducting interviews and reviewing video of the fight and planned to file petitions in juvenile court if they identify others involved in the fight, Menster said.
the Farrell Steelers.
There were four officers at the game who waded into the crowd to break up a fight, Menster said.
The game was called off and police cleared the gym, but fighting broke out in a different area, and then continued in the emergency room of Sharon Regional Hospital, where some people went for treatment.
Police were called to the hospital to restore order, hospital spokesman Ed Newmeyer said.
"We had several officers injured, but none of the injuries were major," he said. "We are

to get thrown out to try and fire up his team."
Wooldridge was upset that a charge hadn't been called on Nick Collison when he made a layup moments earlier and Siebrandt was knocked to the floor.
Coins, bottle caps, tubes of Chapstik and T-shirts littered the court as Jeff Boschee made three of four foul shots to give Kansas a 77-46 advantage, its largest lead of the game.
Wooldridge said his outrage was a reaction to the nocall and didn't intend to motivate his team by being ejected. But that's what happened.
After Boschee's free
throws, the Wildcats went on a 19-5 run and narrowed the margin to 82-65, the closest they came after intermission.
And then Drew Gooden vented.
Gooden slammed home a two-handed dunk that saw the junior forward hang on the rim for a few extra seconds and curl his feet above the rim.
"I just stuffed the ball and took some frustration out on the rim," he said. "A lot of stuff was going on."
Kansas' next game is at 3 p.m. Saturday against Texas Tech at Allen Fieldhouse.

"It got pretty nasty out there," said Gooden, who picked up a technical foul late in the contest. "We tried to keep our composition as a team. The game was over, but we try to go all out all the time."
BLOWOUT
Kansas has been dominant the last two weeks, winning by an average of 28.6 points against Missouri, Colorado and Kansas State. The squad's 16.3-point average margin of victory is second only to Oklahoma in the Big 12 this season.
Despite struggling with team focus, having big leads has become a Javawk trend.

Movie fans opting for DVDs
Jessica Tims Kansan staff writer
VHS is getting a taste of its own medicine. The format that brought down Beta Max is quickly being replaced by the better quality DVD.
Scott Roberts, Arma sophomore, said the sharper images and more distinctive sounds of DVDs were reasons he preferred discs instead of tapes.
"They look better, sound clearer and last longer," he said. "They have more options. They are just cooler."
Megahn Snyder, shift supervisor at Blockbuster, 1516 W.23 St., said the extra features available on DVDs were another reason movie fans were watching DVDs instead of VHS cassettes.
"DVDs have scenes you can go directly to," she said. "Almost all of them have extras like outtakes and different endings, and on most you can watch the movie with director commentary."
Blockbuster recently expanded its DVD section by about 150 discs to include movies more than four years old, Snyder said. She said this was the beginning of an effort to phase out dated VHS tapes.
Snyder said video stores were also pushing DVDs because they were less expensive than VHS tapes.

"It's cheaper to make a DVD," she said. "They are also cheaper for us to buy. There are some DVDs that cost as little as $20 each, and there are some movies on VHS that are close to $100 a tape."

The cost of DVDs is much lower than VHS tapes were when they made their debut in the early 1980s, said John Fackler, multimedia supervisor at Borders Books and Music, 700 New Hampshire St.
"You can buy a DVD for $14 to $24 now, whereas when VHS came out, the tapes were $70 each." he said. "That is why video rental stores became so popular, because movies were

too expensive to buy."
Fackler said DVDs made up about half of the movie section last year. Now DVDs make up about 90 percent of it, he said.
DVDs are taking over the movie section at Borders, Fackler said. He said its DVD section expanded greatly in the past year and has doubled since Christmas.

Fieldhouse fans possess special aura
Growing up in a Jayhawk family, I always looked forward to Christmas morning when I would get "the" present — tickets to a Kansas men's basketball game.
I remember the first time I laid eyes on Allen Fieldhouse.
"What's the big deal about that place?" I remember asking my annoyed older brother. "And why is it so dirty on the outside?"
It's amazing what one step inside such an unassuming place will do to a person, even a seventh-grader.
After showing off my T.J. Whatley autograph (I waited forever to get that!) and running smack into Greg Ostertag's knees, I found my seat in the rafters and watched as the good guys stomped N.C. State. The overwhelming electricity from the crowd was something I had never experienced before, and instantly I knew that this was a special yet indescribable place.
Six years later, as I froze waiting in line before last week's Missouri game, I began to wonder what the hell I was doing standing outside this place for three hours.
Again the aura of Allen Fieldhouse took over, and suddenly I remembered the madness we call Kansas basketball.
The fieldhouse seemed magnetic. Thousands of students, some of whom were painted and half naked, screamed, chanted and jumped up and down, totally oblivious to the 30-degree weather. Despite the ethnic, gender, sexual and social differences among us, that night we were all the same — loyal Jayhawk fans.
Anyone who was lucky enough to be at the Mizzou game knows what I'm talking about.
The same students who stood shivering in the cold were sweating from their non-stop cheering. They eagerly wrapped their arms around the strangers next to them during the alma mater. They took a moment to look around and soak up the atmosphere. These fans, the I'llie-down-in-traffic-for-the'Hawks fans, truly appreciate the power of the fieldhouse.
The electricity running through the crowd was at a premium. Allen Fieldhouse felt as vibrant as ever — its walls shook, its bleachers rumbled. The old limestone stood strong and enjoyed the lifeblood racing through it.
They plan their schedules around camping out, sometimes skipping class just so they don't lose their spot in line.
They scrounge around their dorms, looking for poster board and markers to make a picture of Quin Snyder with a mullet.
They sneak in more than one section of newspaper under their shirts to make sure their fellow Jayhawks all have sheets.
We should all learn something from these kids.
Smile at the ticket-takers when they quiz you on your ID number. Wave at the wealthy alumni who come in five minutes before tipoff. Learn the words to the alma mater and sing along like no one's listening. Hold your breath and wrap your arms around Baby Jay's stank outfit. Use the "family restroom" by yourself. Pay $3 for a drink. Paint your face. Wear blue, Scream, Laugh. Enjoy.
Appreciate the little things that make Allen Fieldhouse so special. See the beauty in the dirty limestone walls.
Love being a Kansas Jayhawk

'Hawks keep 19-game victory streak alive in Manhattan
By Doug Pacey Kansan sportswriter
MANHATTAN — It's as sure as pot holes on 15th Street after a deep freeze and long lines for enrollment and Add/drop.
Kansas always wins at Kansas State's Bramlage. Coliseum. Like death and taxes, you can count on it.
The No. 2 Jayhawks beat the Wildcats 98-71 last night at what Kansas fans jokingly call Allen Fieldhouse West for Kansas' 19th consecutive victory in Manhattan, 14th at Bramlage and 23rd straight against K-State.
These Jayhawks (20-2 overall, 9-0 Big 12 Conference) say the streak didn't even factor into their thinking before last night's nationally-televised game on ESPN. Kirk Hinrich said if the media didn't bring it up, a brief mention by coach Roy Williams would be the only time they heard about the streak.
"We don't really get into the streak," said junior forward Drew Gooden. "We don't want to be contaminated with 'streak this' and 'streak that,' home wins and home losses and all that. I'm not even worried about a streak."
It might be another game on the schedule for the Jayhawks, but for K-State (9-11, 3-6), this is the game that gets circled in a thick red pen on the calendar. The largest crowd of the season, 12,238 people, was on hand for the game, although at least a quarter of them were chanting "Rock, Chalk, Jayhawk" at the end of the game.
Five Jayhawks scored in double fig
ures, led by Kirk Hinrich's 26 points.
Gooden failed to tally a double-double for the second time in 14 games. He finished with 15 points and five rebounds.
"Everyone on the team, the city and our school wanted us to beat KU," said K-State junior forward Matt Siebrandt. "We wanted to be a lot more competitive, but we never stopped fighting."
nine minutes, but that's when things got rowdy.
Kansas led early and by a lot. The Jayhawks were up 51-30 at halftime and quickly ran that to a 61-33 edge after the first two minutes of the second half. The teams were an even 13-13 over the next
K-State coach Jim Wooldridge stormed to half court to argue a no-call with a referee and was quickly whistled for a technical for being so far away from his bench.
After refusing to return, he was rung up again and ejected.
"I think he had, in his mind, a great reason for what he did and did it," Williams said. "I don't think he wanted

Jayhawks' focus fades in blowout second halves
By Brent Wasko
Kansan sports writer
MANHATTAN — The Kansas basketball team is cruising through the Big 12 Conference with an ease that hasn't come its way since the 1970-71 season.
Recently, the second halves of Jayhawk games haven't been must-see television. Kansas has blown out so many teams in the Big 12, especially when playing on national television, that fans haven't had to watch the final minutes of many games.
After hammering Kansas State, 98-71, last night at Bramlage Coliseum, the Jayhawks are 9-0 in the Big 12 for the first time in three decades.
Some of the Kansas players even admitted that it has been difficult for them to stay attentive toward the end of their games.
"It wasn't good. We lost our focus a little bit," junior forward Nick Collison said. "I think if they would have come out with the same kind of fire they showed at the end, it would have been a different game. We probably would have been sharper."
Kansas carried a 21-point lead into halftime
against Kansas State and eventually led by as many as 31 early in the second half.
Then, Wildcat coach Jim Woolridge received two technical fouls and was ejected from the game. His team responded to its coach's intensity.
Kansas State sent the crowd into a frenzy, cutting the lead to a still formidable 17 points. Wildcat senior guard Larry Reid led the late surge and finished with 27 points.
Kansas coach Roy Williams said he wasn't happy with the way the game ended. He said he was disappointed his players lost their concentration, particularly freshman guards Aaron Miles and Keith Langford.
"I thought Aaron lost his focus, not as much on what was happening, but just because Larry Reid was scoring so easily on him," Williams said. "Keith lost his focus. He didn't run a couple of sets the way he was supposed to run them. Hopefully, we can learn from it and not do it again."
Junior forward Drew Gooden said the end of the game was frustrating.

Seven Big 12 teams hold spots in the Top 25

With seven teams among the nation's Top 25, the women's Big 12 Conference teams are fighting for the top spot.
"The Big 12 ranks right up there with the best of them, if not the best," said Kansas senior center Nikki White. "It's been recognized for having tough competition ever since I've been here."
Oklahoma (18-2 overall, 8-1 Big 12 play), coming off a 79-57 defeat of Kansas on Saturday, currently leads the heated race,

State on Saturday. Despite their 17-5 record and No.12 national ranking the Cyclones are no better than tied for sixth in the Big 12.
The Associated Press Top 25 poll was released yesterday, with Oklahoma's No.4 spot leading all Big 12 schools.
The remaining six conference teams in the rankings are all within eight places of each other, ranging from No.10 Baylor to No.17 Texas.
With the Big 12 so loaded with talent this year, almost every conference match-up has national significance, and the games have not disappointed. In the last week alone, three high-staked games were decided by fewer than five points.
"On any given night, any team can win," White said. "That's what makes this conference so competitive."

Web site helps teachers spot plagiarism
By Summer Lewis Kansan staff writer
Professors at the University of Kansas have a new method of detecting plagiarism in their classrooms.
Michele Eodice, director of the writing center, is the administrator of KU's subscription to www.turnitin.com. Professors and students at any university can use this Web site to check papers for plagiarism against its system.
"Each campus subscribes to this digital plagiarism program." Eodice said. "The subscription is a one-year fee of $4,000 for a university the size of KU."
Eodice said that when students submitted papers to professors, the professors could enter them into the Web site's system. Any paper that is in digital format can be run through a similarity index to find similar phrases and sentences, she said.
John Barrie, a founder of turnitin.com said that the system searched the Internet books, journals and all submitted material from other universities.
from other universities.
Rose Marino, associate general counsel, said that it did not violate a student's rights by submitting papers to the site. She said it was part of the professors' grading and assessment of students when papers were submitted to the turnitin.com system.
"At KU, students own their academic productions," Marino said. "However, by enrolling at the University, they are giving KU the right to mark on, retain or handle the work. Submitting it would be part of retaining it."
Mike Kautsch, professor of media law, said article seven in KU's Student Rights and Responsibilities manual discussed the disclosure of a student's views. The article says information about a student's views should be kept confidential. Kautsch said the program did not disclose the identity of the student, therefore the student's views were not disclosed.
"There is no way to tie the views of the student to the submitted paper, so I don't think turnitin.com raises a concern," Kautsch said.
Eodice said instructors could check their students' papers at turnitin.com and know within 48 hours if plagiarism was present.
She said there were several cases at the University that had been detected through this site, but not all of the students caught knew they were plagiarizing. Eodice said that some students didn't realize that copying and pasting was plagiarism.
"There is a range in the cases that we find," she said. "At one end of the scale, you have someone who is not being careful about citing material because they don't understand how and when to cite. At the other end, you have a student who is committing outright fraud by purchasing a paper online or using someone else's."
Eodice said that the program began at the beginning of the fall semester, so she did not yet know the number of students who had been caught with plagiarism by the program.
She said all of the faculty would send a report to her in May with numbers and cases that were discovered with turnitin.com
Dawn Gale, Overland Park graduate student and philosophy teaching assistant, said that she was careful about plagiarism as a student and teacher.
"As a student, I have been and am currently very careful about citations and making sure that I cite things the right way," Gale said. "As an instructor, I have watched for and encountered plagiarism."
Students also can use the turnitin.com Web site for free after setting up an account with Eodice.
She said she would provide students with passwords and help them set up their own account for the Web site.
Eodice said that with all of the information that was available, it was important to teach students about plagiarism.
"It is a mutual responsibility between the teachers and students," Eodice said. "We are in an academic environment. Teachers are trying to pass on to students an academic integrity to be great readers and writers. Students have the responsibility to write papers on their own."

Meningitis diagnosed
By Summer Lewis Kansan staff writer
Steven White, an associate professor of teaching and leadership, was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis last Saturday.
Myra Strother, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that White was hospitalized in Kansas City. Mo. Sunday.
"Luckily, he was treated immediately and is recovering completely," Strother said.
According to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, only people who have been in close contact with a meningitis patient need to be considered for preventive treatment. Casual contact,
Angela Lumpkin, dean of education, said steps were being taken to get in touch with anyone who had contact with White so that medicine could be given if necessary.
which might have occurred in a classroom or office, is usually not significant enough to cause infection.
Strother said even students who came in close contact with White should be safe.
"So, we're actually getting to the point of almost no worry, but the very last possible day that we look at is 10 days from Saturday," she said.
Meningitis facts
Watkins Memorial Health Center vaccinated about 500 KU students for meningitis last fall.
Strother said about 75 students were in contact with him within the last 10 days.
Anyone known to have been in contact with him since Jan. 23 should have been notified yesterday.
The vaccination costs $65 at Watkins and is effective from three to five years.

"We are contacting every person that was in one of his three classes in the last 10 days," Strother said. "I have already been to one class and offered them all medicine."
Strother said the other two classes were notified yesterday, leaving only a few people who had come in contact with him within the department and may not have been notified.
"Just to reassure students, even if your boyfriend was in the classroom, we do not treat you with medicine," she said. "The only way you could get it is from your boyfriend is if he is now ill."
Meningitis is not new to Lawrence and the KU campus. In 1997, the illness struck student Robert Brogi, of Deerfield, Ill., who died within hours. A form of meningitis also was diagnosed in Lea Cheyney, Glenwood, Iowa, in 1996, but she lived.

Lawrence doctoral student Christine Robinson is presenting a proposal to the Board of Regents to get employee benefits extended to same-sex and unmarried domestic partners.

Graduate student works to improve benefits for domestic partners
By Leah Shaffer Kansan staff writer
A University of Kansas doctoral candidate has formed a task force to make sure that same-sex and unmarried couples can get the same benefits as married couples in Board of Regents' institutions.
Christine Robinson, Lawrence graduate student, is running the task force, which has representatives from Regents' institutions, such as Wichita State University and Kansas State University. They will write a proposal that will be submitted to the Board of Regents later this year.
"We are asking for nothing more than for the Regents to fully implement their own policies of nondiscrimination," Robinson said.
In one instance, Robinson said she was contacted by a male international student who had to drop out of KU because he could not afford the non-resident tuition. She said if he could have been legally married to his partner of eight years, his Kansas residency annli-
Robinson said last year the Regents added "sexual orientation" to its antidiscrimination policy. She wanted to see the Regents put the policy into action by allowing same-sex couples a chance to obtain the same benefits that married couples have. Such benefits may include health insurance, pension plans, bereavement policies, family and medical leave, and Kansas residency.
"All unmarried couples
"All unmarried couples and their dependents would have benefits that are currently only offered to married couples. We are asking for simple equality, nothing more nothing less."

cation would have been approved. Robinson said people such as that student could be helped with a change in policy.
poney. "All unmarried couples and their dependents would have benefits that are currently only offered to married couples. We are asking for simple equality, nothing more, nothing less," she said.
File swapping violates media industry copyright laws
Mike Silverman, a KU graduate and chairperson for the Freedom Coalition,a Lawrence human rights group,said although KU's lack of benefits might cause some staff and faculty to leave for other universities that offer health care for domestic partners,the only other Big 12 university to offer it was Iowa State University.
The University formed its own domestic partnership task force in 1998.

Downloading music and movies is common practice to thousands of KU students and it could get them expelled from the University, a KU administrator said.
Groups such as the Recording Industry Association of America and companies including Sony Corporation usually present one complaint per month to the University's Office of Information Systems because students download or offer for download copyrighted material on the Internet.
Even though the University doesn't give students' names to these companies, it contacts them itself, said Jenny Mahmedovic, assistant to the vice chancellor for information systems.
"I find that many students don't know that what they are doing is illegal," she said. "If we have to contact a student more than two times we also forward the information to the dean of students who will take any further disciplinary action necessary."
"I have a face to face with them," she said. "I explain the importance of the copyright law, the importance of not having academic misconduct against them at the University. If they do it again, they are in violation of the code of students right and responsibilities."
Jane Tuttle, assistant to the dean of students, said that if a student is sent to her office for violating copyright laws, she explains the violation and gives them a warning.
Although this has not happened yet, Turtle said it may happen soon. If a student has received a warning from her office and is caught again, Tuttle said they can be put on probation, suspended or even expelled.
"Any time a piece of music or a movie is copied it is a federal offense," Mahmedovic said.
Patrick Knorr, general manager of Sunflower Broadband, 1 Riverfront Plaza, said his company has also received complaints from the RIAA, Sony and the Motion Picture Association.
"I have been doing it for a couple years now, and I have over 2000 songs," he said. "I probably have about 15 or so movies, I am just getting started, but I haven't had any trouble yet."
Sunflower Broadband notified customers when they were turned in for the infringements but Knorr could not specify what was said or done.
"We try to walk all the lines," he said. "We try to cooperate with the copyright laws and with the customer's right to privacy, but sometimes that is a hard thing to do."
"I can't say for sure," he said. "I would guess they use the same software and trace it back to the person who posted it."
Knorr said he thinks the groups find the IP address by using the same software Sunflower customers use to trade the copyrighted works.
Danny Williams, Topeka junior said he has been downloading music from the Internet over the past two years and recently began to download movies.

Police arrests five in manufacture of counterfeit money incidents
Five people were arrested in two separate incidents for counterfeit money since Friday.
Detectives from the Lawrence Police Department obtained a warrant to search a residence at the 2400 block of Jasu Drive. Police said a 31-year-old Lawrence man was arrested Friday after officers found evidence consistent with the manufacturing of counterfeit bills. Police are investigating whether he was responsible for more than one incident.
In another incident, Sgt. Mike Patrick said police were called at 3:13 a.m. Sunday to Total Petroleum Inc., 1010 N. Third St., after a Total employee said a customer passed a counterfeit bill. Police were told the suspect left in a teal Ford Ranger pickup and located the vehicle at the Bismarck Inn, 1130 N. Third St. The officers spoke with four individuals and obtained a search warrant to look at their room.
"Officers seized evidence that was consistent with the manufacturing of counterfeit bills." Patrick said.
He said a man and a woman from Topeka and a man and woman from Perry were arrested.
Charges are pending in both cases.

Tuition committee meets to recommend changes
University officials will attend group's spring meetings
By Rachel Keesee Kansan staff writer
The Ad-Hoc Committee on University Funding met for the first time yesterday to begin examining possible changes to the tuition increase proposal.
"The most important things that came out of this meeting were the introductions of who's on the committee, what the committee will look at and the chancellor's guarantee that the committee's recommendations will be seriously considered," Gregory said.
Anna Gregory, communications director for Student Senate, said she thought the committee made a good start.
The committee was formed last month, and includes student and faculty members. It includes three members of Student Senate, three members of Faculty Senate, a member of Classified Senate and a member of the Unclassified Professional Staff Association.
The committee may add a faculty representative and a stu
dent representative from the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Provost David Shulenburger said he also would attend all of the committee's meetings.
Dallas Rakestraw, Student Senate chairman for the committee, said the goal of his participation on the committee was to reflect the needs and expectations of all members of the University community.
The Board of Regents has set a mid-March deadline for the University to submit a final proposal. Rakestraw said, which would mean the committee would have to give the University a proposal much earlier.
"I think we'll know the timeline at the next Regents meeting," Hemenway said.
But Chancellor Robert Hemenway, who attended the meeting, said he would work to extend the Regents' deadline to April or May.
That meeting is scheduled for Feb. 13 and 14 in Topeka.
The next Ad-Hoc committee meeting will be at 3 p.m. Monday at the Regents Room,230 Strong Hall.

Increased fees justified for more bandwidth
Students living on campus shouldn't gripe if ethernet prices go up
Whether you're trying to view a Web site for research or download an mp3 to listen to while you're working on research, slow Internet connections are frustrating.
Networking and Telecommunications Services is grappling with the problem of rising costs as students in campus housing continue to download larger amounts of data. Students, in turn, are growing more and more frustrated as Internet connections often seem to slow every day.
What's the solution?
The greatest problem is that no one knows the best way to tackle this dilemma. NTS hasn't made any decisions yet, but a likely possibility is that ethernet connection fees will increase, at least for heavy users.
Nobody likes higher fees, but students must remember that NTS must be able to make ends meet if it wants to continue providing affordable high-speed Internet access on campus.
It costs the department money to provide the bandwith that all students use when they download material. With the proliferation of music and games that can be downloaded, some students are eating up a lot of bandwidth.
This, unfortunately, means everyone in student housing will probably have to pay a little more for the speed they've grown accustomed to.
Students living on campus now pay $14 per month per computer for each ethernet connection, totaling $140. But if you're living on campus, it's either ethernet or a dial-up service, such as America Online, which costs $23.90 for its standard plan.
What students and NTS need is to get beyond the technical jargon, which is confusing people and creating even more problems. Students should make an effort to understand the complex issue before gripping about it, and NTS must work harder to explain the situation in easily understandable terms.
Students would probably be more likely to swallow a reasonable ethernet fee increase for more bandwidth and faster Internet service.
We doubt anyone in residence or scholarship halls would seriously prefer reverting to a dial-up service rather than a modest hike in the cost of an ethernet connection.
Free audio and video on the Internet seems like a great thing. But just as there's no such thing as a free meal, even those great free mp3s have a hidden cost.
The cost of increased bandwidth, whether students in campus housing like it or not, is something they will all have to bear.

PERSPECTIVE
As Mount Oread took a break, the 'Kansan' kept working
stayed in bed Wednesday and Thursday.
I sometimes crawled out from between the sheets — to watch TV or forage for food in the fridge. Outside, sleet sleeted, snow snowed and rain rained. You'd be nuts, I thought, to leave home in that weather.
But most of The University Daily Kansas staff did.
That's right, the Kansan published on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The days when most students (including myself) savored a respite from anything school-related, the reporters, editors, photographers, designers and advertising staffers did their jobs. And did them well.
General manager and news adviser Malcolm Gibson decided to keep the paper printing.
"The newspaper doesn't stop." Gibson said. "Other newpapers don't do it."
Top editors approved. Jay Krall, managing editor for news, said reporters and copy editors were positive about working in the snowy conditions.
"Some people wound up doing reporting from home," he said. "Nobody griped about having to come in."

the ice.
Fewer copies were printed for the two days of canceled classes. The usual 12,000-issue run was slashed in half for Wednesday, and boosted to 8,000 for Thursday. Gibson and sales and marketing adviser Matt Fisher hand-delivered issues of the Kansan the two days.
"We made a special effort to reach as many students as possible," he said.
On Thursday, Gibson said, he and Fisher delivered some 3,000 copies to fraternities and sororities.
Response was good. Gibson said he received positive comments when he dropped off the papers. He said he suspected that students paid more attention than usual to Wednesday's and Thursday's issues.
"They were stuck inside — what else were they going to do?" he said.
Gibson and Fisher are now planning
a more organized response to snow days. They want to get the newspaper to as many students as possible, in as many places. The next time the KU administration cancels classes, Gibson told me, the Kansan will be ready.
A newspaper serves readers best when it's a reliable resource. This may mean employees have to slog through nasty weather. But their work, as shown in the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday issues of the Kansan, strengthens campus ties.
"We ran some good stories those daws." Krall said.

GTA SALARIES
Dear editor,
They said "black-tie." KU Alumni Association's Rock Chalk Ball, Friday night at the Marriott in downtown Kansas City Mo.
They also expressed disappointment at the University's offer of a paltry $7,000 minimum salary for employees so vital to KU's educational mission.
But we're graduate teachers, we thought. We don't have tuxedos and evening gowns. Scrounging up a borrowed old prom dress and a quick trip to JC Penney for some dress slacks got us in the door.
And so began many conversations with the alumni who had fond memories of taking classes taught by graduate teaching assistants. They were there to raise money for Jayhawk scholars and expressed genuine concern about the contract talks with the teachers who will teach those scholars.
LETTERSTO THE EDITOR
There, we saw fellow union members as well as undergraduate and faculty supporters mingling with nice people with.much nicer clothes than ours.
"What department do you teach in?" "Western Civ."
The disappointment turned to shock
They knew that KU administration had declared an impasse in the talks rather than bargain a fair contract with GTAC, the union that represents the graduate teachers.
"Oh, I took that class!" "Our son is in that class now."
when we told them that Chancellor Robert Hemenway had advised one of our members to go on Medicaid because the administration wasn't going to do anything about KU's woefully inadequate health insurance for graduate teachers.
We took to the dance floor, smiling and acknowledging the people we had met throughout the night. Dancing next to the chancellor to ABBA's "Dancing Queen," we wondered if the University administration would come back to the bargaining table. We also wondered if we could return the slacks to JC Penney.
Given this, the chancellor's stated goal of making KU a Top 25 university seemed a pie-in-the-sky dream to these alumni.
It saddened us to bring this news because we love KU just as much as those alumni.

ABORTION DEBATE
Dear editor.
Are the scientists who are currently studying the human genome confused about when human life begins? If so, how could they know that the genome they are studying is sufficiently human to qualify as human?
Perhaps the Supreme Court may be unclear about the starting point for human life, but science and medicine based upon science are crystal clear. Simply stated by French geneticist Dr.
Jerome Lefjeune, "Science has a very simple conception of man; as soon as he has been conceived, a man is a man."
A basic biology course could convey this observable fact albeit in today's abortion charged climate it is not politically correct to state nor dwell upon. A pro-life activist recently quipped that "Scientists can now find life on Mars but not in the womb."
A proposed solution to restrict abortion to only the 1st trimester is no real solution given the established statistic that 85 percent of all U.S. abortions occur in the 1st trimester.
Is a 9 week old fetus in some manner inferior to a 13 or 25 week old fetus? The decision by the American medical community to allow the standard of care for their unborn patients to be based upon wantedness versus unwantedness has ominous precedent which history majors no doubt appreciate.
What if unborn humans could somehow exclude born humans from their lifestyle choices? Could not the unborn argue that the end of born human life is a "mystery," "a question with no answer?"
The question on the table is not about the science of when life begins. It is rather "When is unborn human life to be deemed valuable enough to protect from the violence of abortion?" If the answer to that question is "Only when that human life is wanted," we have made the wrong choice.

To better explain the term "noonan stick," noonan stick refers to the sticks that were given out at the KU-MU basketball game that were used to distract the opponent. Um, kind of like in Caddy Shack when noonan was used to miss a putt. That's just a little clarification. Thanks.

I wanted to tell Al Bohl or whoever is in charge of athletic recruiting that they're doing a good job by bringing recruits to the basketball games, but if they're going to just sit there then sit them somewhere other than the first two rows directly behind the basket. If you put them in the middle of the student sections the kids will cheer with the crowd and make them feel more involved with KU, which is what you should really want.
To the person that stole my child development book, I hope you rot in hell.

MENINGITIS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Meningitis is a relatively rare infection that affects delicate membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, which are called meninges.
In most cases, bacterial meningitis develops when bacteria get into the bloodstream from an infection in the upper respiratory tract. The bacteria then travel through the bloodstream to the brain.
The last meningitis infection in Lawrence was in 2000 when Jonathan Haggans, a 4-year-old boy, died from bacterial meningitis the day after he was diagnosed with the disease.
Any student who is concerned can contact Watkins at 864-9500.
Meningitis symptoms
Headaches, nausea and vomiting, stiff neck, skin rashes, sensitivity of the eyes to light, chills and fever
Irritability and confusion early in the disease
Convulsive seizures occur in about 25 percent of patients
Source: WebMD
Decreasing levels of consciousness, inability to straighten the knee when the hip is flexed and involuntary flexing of the hip and knee when the neck is flexed forward.

Jeanette Johnson, assistant to the provost, said most of the University's domestic partnership guidelines were used to help in the hiring of faculty and staff, and many of the benefits such as health care were beyond their control. Johnson said health care benefits were controlled by the Kansas Healthcare Commission, and the Regents would be much more effective in lobbying for change than a single university.
David Ambler, vice chancellor of student affairs, said for many years the application for Stouffer Place apartments required the students to show a marriage license. He said that wasn't the case anymore.
"We will work with any student who has a family housing need," he said. "If a student comes and has a same-sex partner, we'll work with them on providing that," he said.
DOMESTIC
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Robinson, who was the chairwoman of the task force, said after a series of meetings a proposal was submitted to the provost and an agreement was worked out that unmarried couples would not be discriminated against in terms of benefits and access to KU facilities. This means unmarried couples now have access to child-care facilities and married couple housing.
"We will work with any student who has a family housing need.If a student comes and has a same-sex partner, we'll work with them on providing that."
David Ambler vice-chancellor of student affairs
Robinson said she was grateful for the University for changing the policy, but it was now up to the Regents to take it a step further.
Silverman said the Regents had been progressive in the past, but he wasn't sure if they would pass a domestic partnership policy
"They may not be ready to make the jump to domestic partner benefits." he said.
Silverman said even if the Regents passed a policy change, the state legislature could override that decision by passing a law.

By Adam Pracht Kansan staff writer
Kristen Landes, Gladstone, Mo., freshman, jokes around with Corinne Deuel, Norfolk, Neb., freshman, in Lands' Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Residence Hall room. Landes said her sister's death helped shape her personality.
Kristen Landes grew up as an only child.
Yet she said her sister Amy, who died before Kristen was born, shaped much of her life and personality.
"I feel like she's always my guardian angel," the Gladstone, Mo., freshman said, "I feel like I have a relationship with her."
Kristen said even though she never got to meet her sister, she felt her absence. As a child, she noticed that others took their family for granted.
Judy Landes, Kristen's mother, said Amy was born in March of 1979 with multiple congenital anomalies. Judy said Amy had multiple symptoms without a known cause, such as seizures, weak muscles and fragile bones. Her condition slowly deteriorated until she died in January of 1980.
"When she started talking, we knew this was going to be a life experience," Rick said. "She exceeded all expectations."
"My friends would fight with their siblings," she said. "Oh, I hate my brother. I hate my sister.' I'd always get so angry. Be so thankful that you have a brother or sister."
Both Judy and her husband, Rick Landes, said they were concerned throughout Kristen's early life that she would have the same problems, but it was not long before they were certain Kristen would be physically healthy.
Kristen Landes said that Amy's life has taught her to treasure her own life.
"You just need to take each experience and know that you're going to learn something from it," she said. "I don't believe that God gives you anything you can't handle. Things are totally difficult sometimes, but you just have to deal with it."
Both Rick and Judy Landes said they agreed that Amy's life had made Kristen a more compassionate person.
But Amy's story still influences Kristen. When she isn't in school, she helps her mother who directs a program for learning-delayed children. She has helped since she was about 6 years old. On weekends, Kristen volunteers at the Lawrence Humane Society to get animals used to human contact. In addition to pursuing a degree in strategic communications, she will join the dance team for the Kansas City Wizards soccer team this spring.

Bobby Knight Better than his outbursts would have you think
We've all heard the stories about Bobby Knight.
Choking a player at practice, kicking his son in the shins during a timeout, punting a basketball across the court and accidentally shooting a hunting partner. The list goes on and on.
Watching Knight coach is like watching NASCAR. You're not there to see strategy and skill. You want to see the wreck. The 25-car pile-up. You want to see Knight heave a folding chair onto the court.
You want vintage Knight
That's fine and dandy — everyone wants to be entertained.
Kansas fans will get an up-close view of Knight Saturday when No. 24 Texas Tech plays No. 2 Kansas.
But are you a hypocrite? Will you cheer his outbursts during the game and then criticize his coaching techniques and personality the next day?
Maybe you think Knight is a beast and has no business coaching college students. Or maybe you're all for corporal punishment and don't think there's anything wrong with physically laying into a student-athlete every now and then.
Regardless of what you think of Knight's motivational techniques and temper,he's not the bad man people make him out to be.
He graduated 77 percent of his players in 29 years as the Hoosiers coach. He raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Indiana University's library system.
Less than a month after accepting the coaching job at Texas Tech, he wrote a $25,000 check to Tech's library system. In less than a year, the Bob Knight Basketball Library Fund has grown to nearly $90,000.
Tech officials say they expect the fund to reach $100,000 before the end of the spring semester. when they will decide what to do with the money.
"When he's not on the court coaching," says Dawn Dockter, outreach director for Tech's libraries, "he's on the road recruiting and speaking to alumni groups and raising funds."
Knight's has such a following that Dockter said Tech had received donations from people across the country who have no ties to the University and even from Hoosier fans.
Knight might be the most loved and most hated coach in the country, but Lubbock, Texas, has had nothing but love for Knight.
Red Raider basketball games have become the place to be seen. Students camp out overnight in the cold and blustery west Texas winter for the best seats at United Spirit Arena.
Knight has already made Tech a competitive team.The No.24 Red Raiders (16-4 overall, 5-3 Big 12 Conference) will make the NCAA Tournament this year for the first time since 1996.
Winning national titles at Indiana and turning around a Red Raider program that had been floundering won't be what most will remember Knight for. It's too bad all the good he has done for both schools was overshadowed by a handful of negative episodes.
But not in Lubbock. They love him there.
"Regardless of what anybody says about coach Knight," Dockter said, "we're very happy with him and what he's done for Texas Tech."

Teams' records similar
Current basketball team's play reminiscent of '96-'97 squad that lost to Arizona in Final Four
By Brent Wasko
Kansan sportswriter
For some Kansas basketball fans and former players, March 21, 1997, conjures images of despair and disappointment.
that night, former Jayhawk forward Raef LaFrentz threw up a desperation three-point attempt as time expired in a Sweet Sixteen match-up against Arizona in the NCAA tournament. The ball fell well short of the basket and Kansas lost the game, 85-82, and a chance at a national title.
Arguably Roy Williams' best team ever, and one of the best Jajhawk squads ever, was eliminated from the tournament.
KANSAS 13
LAKE 10
"It was extremely painful," said Jerod Haase, a starting guard on the '97 squad and a current team administrative assistant. "I have a lot of bitter memories from the tournament."
Kansas was successful the season after the Arizona loss, finishing with a 35-4 record, but the program fell off a bit the following three seasons. This year, however, Jayhawk basketball has regained the spotlight, reminding some of 1996-97 team.
Similarities between the two teams are almost eerie.
If Kansas wins all of its remaining regular season games, the team will have racked up 27 wins. The '97 team established a school record with 29 regular season wins.

Tonight could be the night.
Last season, the Jayhawks (5-18, 0-10) upset the then No. 6-ranked Cyclones 69-61 before a national audience on ESPN. Kansas coach Marian Washington says this game has always been a challenging one for her team.
Although the severe underdog, the Kansas women's basketball team hopes to repeat history at home against No. 12 Iowa State (17-5, 5-5 Big 12 Conference) at 7:05 p.m.

Iowa State short on victory at Fieldhouse
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's basketball team faces No. 12 Iowa State tonight in Lawrence. The Cyclones, with good reason, might be a little reluctant to visit.
Iowa State has won just one game in its last 10 trips to Allen Fieldhouse. Last season, the team came into town with a 20-3 record and a No. 6 ranking in the national poll. The Jayhawks, 9-14 at the time, came away with the huge upset, a 69-61 victory in front of 4,500 fans.
With the Cyclones heavily favored again in 2002. Iowa State coach Bill Fennelly said the team knew better than to look past anyone, like they might have last year.
"We've got six games to go, and we're right in the thick of things," he said. "It's a conference game on the road, and we know we have to go win it."
This year, Iowa State is 17-5 overall, but with the Big 12 Conference as tough as it's ever been, the Cyclones have struggled out of the gate to a 5-5 Big 12 mark.
"The challenge we have had this year was with the loss of Erica Junod to injury," Fennelly said. "We've had to experiment

Bobby Knight Better than his outbursts would have you think
We've all heard the stories about Bobby Knight.
Choking a player at practice, kicking his son in the shins during a timeout, punting a basketball across the court and accidentally shooting a hunting partner. The list goes on and on.
Watching Knight coach is like watching NASCAR. You're not there to see strategy and skill. You want to see the wreck. The 25-car pile-up. You want to see Knight heave a folding chair onto the court.
You want vintage Knight.
That's fine and dandy — everyone wants to be entertained.
Kansas fans will get an up-close view of Knight Saturday when No. 24 Texas Tech plays No. 2 Kansas.
But are you a hypocrite? Will you cheer his outbursts during the game and then criticize his coaching techniques and personality the next day?
Maybe you think Knight is a beast and has no business coaching college students. Or maybe you're all for corporal punishment and don't think there's anything wrong with physically laying into a student-athlete every now and then.
Regardless of what you think of Knight's motivational techniques and temper, he's not the bad man people make him out to be.
He graduated 77 percent of his players in 29 years as the Hoosiers coach. He raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Indiana University's library system.
Less than a month after accepting the coaching job at Texas Tech, he wrote a $25.00 check to Tech's library system. In less than a year, the Bob Knight Basketball Library Fund has grown to nearly $90.000.
Tech officials say they expect the fund to reach $100,000 before the end of the spring semester, when they will decide what to do with the money.
"When he's not on the court coaching," says Dawn Dockter, outreach director for Tech's libraries, "he's on the road recruiting and speaking to alumni groups and raising funds."
Knight's has such a following that Dockter said Tech had received donations from people across the country who have no ties to the University and even from Hoosier fans.
Knight might be the most loved and most hated coach in the country, but Lubbock, Texas, has had nothing but love for Knight.
Red Raider basketball games have become the place to be seen. Students camp out overnight in the cold and blustery west Texas winter for the best seats at United Spirit Arena.
Knight has already made Tech a competitive team. The No. 24 Red Raiders (16-4 overall, 5-3 Big 12 Conference) will make the NCAA Tournament this year for the first time since 1996.
Winning national titles at Indiana and turning around a Red Raider program that had been floundering won't be what most will remember Knight for. It's too bad all the good he has done for both schools was overshadowed by a handful of negative episodes.
But not in Lubbock. They love him there.
"Regardless of what anybody says about coach Knight," Dockter said, "we're very happy with him and what he's done for Texas Tech."

Teams'records similar
Current basketball team's play reminiscent of'96-'97 squad that lost to Arizona in Final Four
By Brent Wasko Kansan sportswriter
For some Kansas basketball fans and former players. March 21, 1997, conjures images of despair and disappointment.
That night, former Jayhawk forward Raef LaFrentz threw up a desperation three-point attempt as time expired in a Sweet Sixteen match-up against Arizona in the NCAA tournament. The ball fell well short of the basket and Kansas lost the game, 85-82, and a chance at a national title.
Arguably Roy Williams' best team ever, and one of the best Jayhawk squads ever, was eliminated from the tournament.
"It was extremely painful," said Jerod Haase, a starting guard on the '97 squad and a current team administrative assistant. "I have a lot of bitter memories from the tournament."

Kansas was successful the season after the Arizona loss, finishing with a 35-4 record, but the program fell off a bit the following three seasons. This year, however, Jayhawk basketball has regained the spotlight, reminding some of 1996-97 team.
Similarities between the two teams are almost eerie.
If Kansas wins all of its remaining regular season games, the team will have racked up 27 wins. The '97 team established a school record with 29 regular season wins.

Former Wichita State player settles injury lawsuit before trial
+
WICHITA — Chicago Cubs prospect Ben Christensen settled a lawsuit yesterday filed by Anthony Molina, the batter beaned by a warmup pitch in a college game three years ago.
The Associated Press
Molina was preparing to lead off for Evansville in game against Wichita State on April 23, 1999. He said he was standing 24 feet from home plate when he was hit in the left eye by a fastball that he said was deliberately thrown by Christensen.
Lawyers on both sides described the settlement as "substantial but confidential." Molina had sued Christensen for $2 million in damages.
Molina sustained skull fractures and numerous eye injuries. Christensen claimed Molina was timing his pitches.
The agreement was reached as jurors waited outside the courtroom for the start of trial. Molina decided to settle after Sedgwick County District Court Judge Paul Clark ruled Monday that Molina would have to prove Christensen
"I didn't feel we would get a fair trial in Wichita ... It is like playing baseball at Wichita State," Molina said.
intended to injure him — a difficult standard to meet.
Christensen declined comment. His lawyer, Steve Robison, said Molina's claim of unfairness was "ridiculous."
Christensen, 21-1 in three years at Wichita State, was the Chicago Cubs' first-round pick in the 1999 draft. He is expected to start this year with the Triple-A Iowa Cubs.
Molina also has a lawsuit pending in federal court in Kansas City, Kan., accusing Wichita State coach Gene Stephenson and pitching coach Brent Kemnitz of negligence. Tuesday's agreement also settled the claims against Christensen in that case.
Kemnitz was suspended by the Missouri Valley Conference after admitting that he advised pitchers to throw at on-deck batters if they appeared to be timing pitches.

Smog tarnishes Olympic grandeur
The Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — The haze obscures the snowy mountains that loom over this city, locking the valley into a choking grayness that causes chests to tighten and eyes to burn.
"It's nasty living down here."
When it really bad, parents are warned to keep their children inside.
The air hanging over Salt Lake City this week is hardly Olympic postcard stuff. Visitors who don't venture up into the mountains might go home talking more about suffocating air than Alpine beauty.
"Everything they're here to see won't be seen," local contractor Larry Donelson said.
The dirty local secret is some very dirty air — thanks to atmospheric inversions, a weather condition that traps a cold layer of smog under a warmer layer of air.
Welcome to the other side of wintry Salt Lake City, one that Olympic organizers probably didn't bother to point out when the city was desperately bidding to get the games.

"It's nasty living down here. Everyone has
The latest inversion settled over the city Monday, just in time to welcome early-arriving Olympians and visitors.
The increased number of buses and vehicles in the Salt Lake City area for the Olympics could make it even worse.
Dagmar Vitek, deputy director of medical services for Salt Lake Valley Health Department, said the "athletes are healthy people so they shouldn't be affected by this."
The only thing that will get rid of the smog is something Olympic organizers don't want or need — another snowstorm that could cause havoc with Olympic site preparations. That could come Friday, forecasters say, just in time for the opening ceremony.
Got a Game This Weekend?
The University Daily Kansan wants to print scores and highlights from club and intramural sports. If you would like information from your game to be published in each Monday paper of the semester, please call Mike Bauer between noon and 4 p.m. Sundays at 864- 4815 or e-mail sports@kansan.com anytime with the sport, score, place, date, team highlights, team record, date and place of your next game and contact information.

FOOTBALL Nebraska's Brown denied release of scholarship
LINCOLN, Neb. — Defensive lineman Manaia Brown, who left Nebraska's football team to be with his ailing 81-year-old father in Utah, has been denied a release of his scholarship.
Nebraska sports information director Chris Anderson confirmed yesterday that coach Frank Solich had denied Brown a release, but would not elaborate.
Solich declined comment through Anderson.
Without a release from Nebraska, Brown will have to sit out a year before he can compete for another school. The 6-foot-4,310-pound Brown has said his football future is on hold until a release is granted.
OLYMPICS
WTC flag to be flown at Olympic ceremonies
The World Trade Center's tattered American flag will be raised at the opening ceremony next to the Olympic flag. It flew at Yankee Stadium during the World Series and was shown Sunday during the national anthem at the Super Bowl. The International Olympic Committee agreed to let the flag, missing 12 stars, fly at Friday's ceremony. But for reasons of protocol the IOC vetoed a plan to have American athletes carry it into the stadium. Salt Lake organizing chief Mitt Romney said the flag also will play a role in a nationally televised show before the ceremony.

Arroyo inducted into unfinished hall of fame
CARACAS, Venezuela — Former New York Yankees reliever Luis Arroyo was inducted yesterday into the Latin American Baseball Hall of Fame Museum, a Caribbean shrine that next year will finally have a roof.
Arroyo, who pitched alongside the likes of Whitey Ford and became a Yankees scout after retiring in 1963, didn't make the ceremony because of passport trouble. That didn't stop hundreds of people in town for the Caribbean Series from honoring him at a ceremony.
Arroyo, born in Puerto Rico, made the All-Star Game as a rookie with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1955. He had a career 40-32 record with 36 saves and a 3.93 ERA—as well as a .227 career batting average.
During the Yankees' famed 1961 season, with Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris battling for Babe Ruth's record of 60 home runs, Arroyo won 15 games and saved 29.

Late recruitment fails to hinder potential
By John Domoney
Kansan sportswriter
Although Kansas football coach Mark Mangino has yet to coach a game for the Jayhawks, today marks a crucial point in his brief career at Kansas.
Mangino will announce his first recruiting class from the signing day for college football recruits across the nation.
Kansas got off to a late start recruiting because of the hiring of Mangino in early December. Other schools that retain their head coach recruit throughout the year. But the Jayhawks did not fail to put together a quality class, said MoKan Football magazine recruiting editor John Kirby.
"You can't grade Kansas' class
like other classes because they got a late start," Kirby said. "I think they did a good job in the month of January, and they really put the chips into place."
Heading into signing day, the Jayhawks have a total of 22 known commitments —13 offensive players and 9 defensive players— according to the recruiting web site FANsonly.com.
One of the offensive players expected to contribute for Kansas this fall is quarterback Bill Whittemore.
The Fort Scott Community College transfer comes with a reputation as a skilled passer and runner.
Kirby said he thought Whitte-
more would be among the main
challengers to Zach Dyer, Olathe
senior, to fill the quarterback spot vacated by the dismissal of Mario Kinsev.
"He's definitely going to be one of the guys competing for that job," Kirby said of Whittemore. "He's got great feet, and he can scramble."
However, Kirby thinks the best sign that Mangino can be a solid recruiter comes from a player that opted out of his commitment to Kansas.
Lawrence Pinson, a linebacker from Jenks High School in Tulsa, Okla., reneged on his oral commitment to Kansas last week after he decided to attend a school closer to home.
Pinson, which MoKan Football rated as one of the top 15 linebackers in the country, changed
his decision to Oklahoma State.
Kirby said that for Kansas to be able to catch the interest of a player of Pinson's caliber indicates future success in recruiting.
"I think Kansas just to get a commitment from the kid originally was a great turnaround right there," Kirby said. "I think that's a sign that in the future when they have more than a month or a month and a half to recruit a player, they're going to be running into some pretty good players in the future."
Mangino and his staff were unable to comment on recruiting until today because of NCAA rules.

regular season championship by four games. The current group has a two game lead in the Big 12 with plenty of opportunities to extend that advantage.
Kansas was ranked in the top 10 all season in 1996-97. The Jayhawks haven't fallen out of the top 10 this year.
In addition, Kansas' three wins against top-10 teams this
season — Arizona, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma — marks the first time since the 1996-97 campaign that the Jayhawks have won three games against top-10 foes in the same season.
There are a lot of likenesses, but pardon Nick Collison if he doesn't want people comparing the current team to the '97 squad quite yet.
"That team was pretty solid from day one — they knew what they were going to have," said the
junior forward. "We have a lot of youth and have more opportunity to improve. That team might have been at its peak, while we don't know how high we can reach."
Despite the similarities, Haase said the '97 and the '02 teams are different.
"I thought in '97, when push came to shove, we were an unbelievable defensive team that could score," Haase said. "I think this year's team is an unbelievable scoring team that has the capability of playing great defense."
He said he would love to see this year's team win a title.
"We wanted to give coach Williams a national championship," he said. "If this year's team did that, it would take a lot of weight off my shoulders."

'Amelie' nabs French film award nods
Romantic comedy sets award record, starts Oscar buzz
The Associated Press
PARIS — The quick, quirky romantic comedy Amelie collected a record 13 nominations on Monday for the Cesars, France's version of the Academy Awards.
Amelie was nominated for best film, best director (Jean-Pierre Jeunet), best actress
Already the top-grossing French film ever in the United States, Amelie also is expected to be a leading candidate for best foreign language film when Oscar nominations are announced Feb. 12.
(Audrey Tautou), supporting actress (Isabelle Nanty), screenplay, music, costumes, art direction, photography, sound and editing. Italso received two nominations for best supporting actor, for Jamel Debbouze and Rufus.
Amelie, which has charmed European audiences and broken box-office records in France, stars Tautou as a reclusive, doeyed young woman who plays matchmaker for her friends, but is too shy to go after the object of her obsession, played by Mathieu Kassovitz.
The other nominees for best film are Sous le Sable (Under the Sand) by Francois Ozon, Sur mes leses (Read my lips) by Jacques Audiard. La Chambre des Officiers (The Officer's
Ward) and Colline Serreau's Chaos, the Academy of Cinema Arts and Sciences announced.
Nominated for best foreign film were the Coen brothers' The Man Who Wasn't There, Nanni Moretti's The Son's Room, Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge, David Lynch's Mulholland Drive and Steven Soderbergh's Traffic.
The 27th Cesar awards ceremony is set for March 2 in Paris. Actor Jeremy Irons, director Claude Rich and actress Anouk Aimee are to receive honorary awards.
The 1980 Francois Truffaut classic The Last Metro and 1990's Cyrano de Bergerac, starring Gerard Depardieu, share the record for 10 Cesars.

Senior center Nikki White said her team looked to reenact last year's victory over the Cyclones.
"Last year we really pulled together and played well against Iowa State." White said. "We are working hard to get focused and be prepared for this game because it really means a lot to us."
Tonight's game marks the third straight ranked opponent for the Hawks, and four of Kansas' final six games will be against ranked teams.
Even in the midst of this 10-game losing streak, Washington said she remained optimistic about what she views as a season of rebuilding.
One area that the jawhaws have found success in this season is swatting their opponents' shots. Kansas ranks third in the Big 12 in blocks, averaging 4.6 per contest.
"Different programs have gone through some things. Colorado is going through some things, we're going through some things," she said. "Each program has had their period where they have had to rebuild, and the coaches have done a great job in doing so."
"Last year we really pulled together and played well against Iowa State."

Senior center Kristin Geoffroy leads this category for the Hawks with 34, while White is one block shy of 100 for her career.

with a lot of different lineups."
"We're a team that has the capabilities
to score some points." Fennelly said. "Our offense has really stepped up and made things happen this year."
Cyclone guard Tracy Gahan, who averages 15 points a game, was named Big 12 Player of the Week last week. The senior posted 20-point efforts in Iowa State's last three contests, all Cyclone victories. They recently knocked off Kansas State, now ranked No. 11, in Manhattan on Saturday, with Wilson, Welle and Gahan all
scoring over 20.
"Those three were just outstanding," said K-State coach Deb Patterson following the game. "They were a unit. They fed off each other and took over the flow of the game."

Sex question derails bill
Student Senate rejects legislation to fund ads for University blood drive
By Sarah Hill Kansan staff writer
After a speech by the student body president, the Student Senate Rights Committee failed to pass a bill last night that would fund University Daily Kansan advertising for the KU Blood Drive.
The committee voted against the bill primarily because of a question on the blood donor's information sheet that asks if the donor is a man who has had sex with another man since 1977.
Justin Mills, student body president
said he supported the blood drive but did not think Senate should sponsor discrimination against gay men.
"Every year, we essentially say, 'This is bad, but we'll give you money anyway,' he said. "By giving the group the money, we say that it's OK."
Mills said that not donating money could be the first step in fighting discrimination. He said this was the third year the advertising bill had been presented, and it had been passed each time despite of debate about the question.
Andrew Bailey, journalism senator, presented the bill for the second time this semester.
The bill passed the rights and finance committees two weeks ago, but before Senate could vote on the bill, it was

Teacher consultation required in grade appeal
By Maggie Koerth Kansan staff writer
University of Kansas students who wish to change their grades may face a long road of appeals and paperwork.
In the past, students who thought their grades in a class were unfair would first have a hearing at the departmental level. If the outcome of that hearing was unsatisfactory, they then had the option of forking other hearings at the school and University Judicial Board level, said Molly Mulloy, an administrative assistant to the board. The board is made up of students and faculty who hear appeals of grades and academic misconduct.
Two years ago the University changed that policy to streamline the process, Mulloy said.
Now, students who want to appeal a grade must first speak with their teachers.
"Most people are able to work it out on that level," Mulloy said. "If they can't, each department has their own procedure for handling grievances. The Judicial Board handles only appeals now."
Mulloy said less than 10 students a year brought their cases to the board, but she couldn't talk about the outcome of

different procedures
Third: Hearing decisions can be appealed within 30 days to the University Judicial Board. Both teachers and students can ask for the appeal.
Keep in mind: The University of Kansas Ombudsman can help mediate an agreement between you and your teacher or department.

Bailey Kivett, Halstead senior, said talking to her teacher helped her get a grade changed. When she was a sophomore, Kivett took an Introduction to Fiction class. She got a B in the class, but

Broadcast journalist Cokie Roberts speaks to a crowd at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Roberts was presented with the 2002 William Allen White Foundation's national citation yesterday.
ABC News anchor receives KU award
By Mike Gilligan Kansan staff writer
Americans have been more informed about Islam and Afghanistan since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks because of the press, said Cokie Roberts, chief congressional analyst for ABC News.
"I think we've done a good job." Roberts said. "Americans knew about the holy month of Ramadan. I don't think we could have said that before."
before.
Roberts received the William Allen White Foundation's national citation yesterday at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union in front of about 500 people. She is also the co-anchor of the ABC News Sunday morning broadcast, This Week with Sam Donaldson and Cokie Roberts.
Roberts began her speech with several anecdotes, including one about her mother, who was the representative of former President Bill Clinton to the pope.
"Not much changed," Roberts' mother told her about going from Bourbon Street in New Orleans to the Vatican. "There are still men in dresses."
After her introduction, Roberts focused her speech on William Allen White and his contributions to journalism.
"His wisdom came from a childlike absence of cynicism," Roberts said. "He was outspoken but not cynical about his country."
Roberts also spoke about the role of women in journalism, particularly

Budget cuts force fine arts shop to close for weekends
By Leah Shaffer
Kansan staff writer
The shop is closed — for the weekends, at least.
The School of Fine Arts has decided to cut weekend hours for the materials workshop, also called the "Common Shop." The shop is where fine arts students can work on projects ranging from sculptures to wood works.
The students are frustrated with this and other budget cuts.
Industrial Design Student Association will have its first meeting at 6 p.m. Thursday at 1339 Vermont St. Apt.2. to discuss these concerns.
Tom Brantman, Overland Park senior and the president of the association, said he wanted the meeting to be a gathering of all fine arts students and faculty who were concerned about budget crunches and especially the loss of Common Shop hours.
Brantman, an industrial design student, said he thought the fine arts department had gone too far for the sake of cutting costs. He said the loss of weekend hours would be hard on students.
"For a lot of people, you're busy with other classes during the week," he said. "What's at sake is the professionalism of our education. We want clean work spaces, new desks, stuff that's been fought for years."
Brantman said it was not just industrial design students that would be affected by the change in hours. He said other fine arts students used the shop.
Lance Rake, associate professor of design, said he understood why the students were upset about loss of hours.
"It's something that will impact their work." Rake said.
However, Rake understood that the budget crunch had left the school with little options.
"Anywhere you take out money now will be painful," he said.
Vickie Hamilton-Smith, director of communications for the School of Fine Arts, said the decision was made as a result of a meeting with the design department chair, the dean of fine arts and the staff member in charge of the shon.
Hamilton-Smith said there were two main reasons for cutting the hours. One reason was to tighten the budget.
The other reason was safety. Hamilton-Smith said the Common Shop needed to be manned by two people to ensure that students get help around

Students to head to national music competition in March
By Adam Pracht
Kansan staff writer
Amir Khosrowpour and Chris Nierman share a love of music. Next month in Cincinnati, Ohio, the University of Kansas students will have the rare opportunity to share that love nationally.
Khosrowpour, who plays piano, and Nierman, who plays trumpet, advanced from the state competition last November in Pittsburg to compete at regionals last month. At regionals, they won first place in their divisions against musicians from eight other states. Their achievements earned them a place in the national competition March 18 in Cincinnati.
"Music has really become a large part of my identity," he said. "It just seems like it's a constant in my life. It's given
Khosrowpour, an Irvine Calif., junior, said that while he was nervous about nationals, it would be important to stay relaxed during the competition.
Nierman, a Lincoln, Neb., senior,
said that music was central to his life.
“It’s a big deal,” he said. “I just kind of treat it like any other competition. It’s probably the biggest one I've ever been in. Getting this far, I'm sure the level of competition will be outrageous.”
me some frustration. It's given me a sense of fulfillment when I achieve things."
He said he arranged a difficult program comprised of a 60 minute program and a 20 to 40 minute concerto. Nierman will play four pieces in a 40-minute program.
If Khosrowpour wins at nationals, he will receive a Steinway piano worth $50,000.
Both musicians grew up in musical homes. Khosrowpour said his parents loved classical music and started him
on piano when he was 7 years old.
Jack Winerock, professor of piano, worked with Khosrowpour for about three years. He said that Khosrowpour improved in that time.
"He's always had the potential to be into the music," Winerock said. "I would say it's the deepening of the interpretation, the more powerful interpretation that has been the most satisfying."
Amir Khosrowpour, Irvine, Calif., junior, poses with his instrument in Murphy Hall. Khosrowpour will be competing in the Music Teachers National Association competition in March.
Both of Nierman's parents were musicians. He started taking lessons on trumpet in the fifth grade.
Christopher Moore, assistant professor of music, gave Nierman trumpet lessons for 4 years. He said that Nierman was a role model to other players.
JILLIAN THORPE/KANSAN
"He just has great humility," Moore said. "Which I think is key to success in any profession."

Kansas anti-terrorist legislation approved in House with voice vote
TOPEKA — House members tentatively approved a bill yesterday giving state officials greater authority to protect against terrorism.
The bill, approved on voice vote, authorized the secretary of administration to fingerprint all workers who have had unescorted access to the state data center, telecommunications facilities and other security sensitive areas.
Fingerprints would be submitted to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation and the FBI for criminal background checks and verification of identity.
Final action was set for today on the bill, the first legislation from the Special Committee on Kansas Security to make its way through The House. The committee was formed after Sept.11 to identify and mitigate potential threats to Kansas' economy, governments and civilian population.
Democrats raised concerns that the measure would give Secretary of Administration Joyce Glasscock broad powers in the name of security.
"She's locked seven of eight doors to the Statehouse. Under this bill, she could have everyone in the building fingerprinted in the name of security," said Rep.Rick Rehorn,D-Kansas City.
Missionary hostages allowed to communicate with family
ROSE HILL — Kidnapped Kansas missionaries Gracia and Martin Burnham have sporadically communicated with their family for months, a spokesman for New Tribes Mission said yesterday.
The hostages have received letters and pictures of their children from Kansas, along with at least some of the medical supplies and food sent to them, said Scott Ross, attorney for Florida-based New Tribes Mission. New Tribes is a nondominational group whose missionaries work with remote tribes.
Ross declined to say how his group was getting the family's letters and other supplies to the hostages, who are being held by Abu Sayafy rebels. The rebels are believed to have links to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida terrorist network and are holding the Burnhams and Filipino nurse Deborah Yap on southern Basilian island.

Chancellor, provost continue tuition talks
By Meredith Carr Kansan staff writer
Tuition dialogues continued last night when Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Provest David Shulenburger met with students in Stephenson Scholarship Hall.

The chancellor and the provost covered issues such as financial aid, online enrollment and what the tuition increase money would fund in the future.
The administrators said they were concerned that without the tuition increase, the University wouldn't provide the same quality of education it was known for.
"I wish it would have been more conversational instead of so much Q and A," said Amanda Meglemme, Overland Park sophomore, one of about 20 students attending the talk. "But I really appreciate them coming and talking with us."

Provost David Shulenburger explains proposed tuition increases to a group of students in Stephenson Scholarship Hall yesterday. About 25 students attended the meeting, where he and Chancellor Robert Hemenway fielded questions following the presentation.
because it was the cheapest you better reevaluate that answer. You could have gone to Emporia State or Fort Havys State. Why didn't you go there?"
Hemenway started out the evening by outlining what the administration hoped to accomplish.
Het talked about five "key questions" to think about during the tuition-increase dialogue.
"Should you have a tuition increase or not? If so, how much of an increase should it be?
Where is the money going to be spent? Who is going to pay for it?
What principles will be applied?"
Hemenwav asked.
Though the Board of Regents moved the deadline for a final tuition proposal to the middle of March, Meneway said he was working to move that date back to the original April 15 deadline. This way the
administration would have more time to continue the dialogue with students, the administrators said.

Zeta Tau Alpha selected to open in fall
By Caroline Boyer Kansan staff writer
Participants in the Fall 2002 sorority recruitment will have a chance to become a founding member of a new chapter at the University of Kansas.
Zeta Tau Alpha sorority was selected to open a new colony by delegates from the 13 current sororities.
Julia Hill, Director of National Extension for Zeta Tau Alpha, said the sorority will be looking for members at all year levels.
"It's truly an opportunity for a lot of different ages," Hill said. "The neat thing about a new colony is you don't have to wait two or three years to become a leader."
Kelly Jo Karnes, assistant director of greek programs, said KU had been considering inviting
another sorority to campus since Spring 1999.
"We've been looking at our recruitment numbers and the numbers of women who are in our new member classes, and that number has been going up and up every year," she said.
After researching and conducting surveys, greek programs staff members decided the University was ready for another sorority. The 13 national sororities not represented on campus were invited to apply to be selected as the University's newest sorority.
Karnes said chapters had been exceeding the maximum number of members a sorority could have because they were accepting as many as 55 new members each year.
Karnes said Zeta Tau Alpha was chosen because it had a good foundation and many local chapters.
"There were just a lot of people who are in the area who were on board from the get go, saying we will support this chapter and we are willing to put in the time to make this chapter successful," she said.
Shae Steven, Panhellenic delegate from Gamma Phi Beta, said she was impressed with Zeta Tau Alpha's presenters.
"I just thought they seemed really confident and put together," the Wichita junior said.
Hill said the sorority plans to come to campus in early April to publicize.
Zeta Tau Alpha will participate in recruitment orientation next fall and may have an informational event on the first day of recruitment, she said. The chapter hopes to recruit about 100 members outside of the formal
recruitment process.
Karnes said she expected the new sorority to fare better than the Alpha Xi Delta and Alpha Omnicon Pi chapters. The Alpha Xi Delta chapter closed in Spring 1999 and the Alpha Omnicon Pi chapter closed in Spring 1996.
"I don't know why Alpha Xi Delta was not successful here. Honestly, I don't think the Greek community was behind them," she said. "We tried really hard to pound into the men and the women to say, you know what, you all want this new chapter here to make your membership numbers lower and more manageable, we all need to support this new chapter."

EDITORIAL Reducing hours at Robinson hurts students
KU officials should not cut back gym availability because of budget woes
Workouts are hard enough to squeeze into a college day.
Next fall, this task could become even more of a trial. Because of the budget shortfall, the University of Kansas could have to make cuts in its programs. The University is considering saving money by cutting Robinson Center's hours of availability.
KU already has one of the poorest recreational facilities in the Big 12. Kansas State's recreation center, for example, is open from 6 a.m. to midnight during the week, 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturdays and noon to midnight on Sundays. As students at a major university, we should have access to state-of-the-art facilities most of the day, seven days a week.
Robinson is already notorious for its dungeon-like weight room, smelly equipment, and lack of workout entertainment.
Gym availability is also a major concern for students. This being said, Robinson is already too badly bruised to take another hit from the budget.
The KU Athletics Corporation makes sure its athletes have the top-of-the-line equipment in Anschutz Sports Pavilion. University officials need to have the same standards for their students.
Some students suck it up and go to Robinson, which is open from 5:30 p.m. to midnight during the week and 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. on weekends. But those hours change regularly.
These restricting hours lead to overcrowding and long lines of KU faculty and students waiting to use equipment. Other students opted to empty their bank accounts to join local off-campus gums.
KU offered some alternatives. The University opened up the Burge Union Fitness Center, which offers longer hours of availability and new equipment, but not much of it.
The Burge center is also too crowded. Many students wait up to an hour to use a machine.
It will be about a year and a half before KU will see a new workout facility. By cutting back hours, KU would be neglecting the physical-fitness needs of its students and staff.
We understand that spending will have to be nipped and tucked because there just isn't enough cash for everything the University of Kansas wants and needs. But Robinson is already a woefully inadequate facility for the community it serves and should not be cut back any more.
In a state where weather is never predictable, we can't depend on outdoor conditions to stay fit. KU officials must recognize the necessity for indoor workout facilities and look to other places to make their inevitable budget cuts

PERSPECTIVE
Watch your mouth in class; people might actually listen
I have a confession. I am that girl — the one who actually talks in class. I try not to be that person we all know who is compelled to raise her hand with an irrelevant or silly question.
Annoying class talkers are people who feel compelled to share intimate matters of their life with everyone at 110 Budig Hall, regardless of their comments' lack of insight.
Answer these questions to find out if you, or someone you know, exhibit the warning signs of irresponsible class contribution.

COMMENTARY
1. Would your six-year-old sibling listen to your comment and reply smartly with "Duh?"
If the answer to this question is yes, then you might be an annoying class talker. (I sense my "You Might be an annoying class talker if" homage to Jeff Foxworthy could become, well, annoying.)
At this point, it is not the overlychatty person's fault if he or she answers a question (why yes. Dr. so-and-so, the sky is blue). However, should the responder add comments to the effect of "and the grass is usually green, and clouds are white ...," then this person

might be an annoying class talker. Essentially, assessing the "duh" value of your comment is key to avoiding being a capital annoyance in your class.
2. Is your comment so obviously off-topic that one but you cares?
I'm very glad that you sense kinship with a professor while discussing the Powerpuff girls or the cinematic opus Dude. Where's My Car?
But if you want to ask the question, "Well, where was his car?" to your genetics professor during lecture, then you should reconsider when and where you engage in this type of inquiry.
I'm not saying non-genetics-oriented chit chat doesn't add to class enjoyment, but please exercise caution and try to focus on intelligence and humor.
If your professor's reply to your totally off-subject remark/question proved more interesting than the subject matter she/he would have covered, then congrats. Extra points to you if your distraction lessens the amount of material covered on the upcoming test.
3. Does your comment or question succeed in being either funny or serving some greater purpose?
Basically, if you're funny it's OK, and if you aren't, then don't subject your classmates to pointless blather. I realize that some people think themselves funny and actually aren't (see the author's name), but even baby steps are important.
3. Do you find yourself making dumb comments or asking silly questions with any sort of frequency?
We are all entitled to an occasional random or stupid outburst. Before I cast stones, I should polish my glass house and admit that I have belted out a stupid comment, or seven.
What I think is important is that while we cut people some proverbial slack, slack should not be given out if the person is perpetually annoying.
I don't want to discourage people from speaking in class (as frankly, I get tired of listening to myself yammer on). All I'm saying is that if you talk, please talk responsibly.

I don't understand why Robinson recreation center is so structurally deficient that it can't handle a little snow without getting leaks.
Nor do I understand why it takes so long for them to fix them. I just wanted to play some basketball, for crying out loud.
I have two words for K-State's crowd:

BSU conference boosts students' confidence
Imagine 1,300 African-American young people gathered together for a weekend. They haven't traveled to see a hip-hop show. They're not competing in a major athletic tournament. And they're all in the middle of Missouri.
PERSPECTIVE
These young people are getting their college educations. They all attend predominately white universities across the country. They convened for the 25th annual Big 12 Conference on Black Student Government at the University of Missouri-Columbia.
I attended this conference along with other members of the University of Kansas' Black Student Union last
weekend. The conference exemplified an image of African Americans seldom seen in the mainstream media — minority students taking leadership positions on their campuses.
The exciting thing was networking with African-American students from all over the country. Whether students attend schools with only 50 African-American students or 5,000 we all shared the same situations on majority campuses.
The most dynamic speaker of the conference was journalist Ed Gordon, who many of us grew up watching on Black Entertainment Television. He recalled his visit to the White House to interview the president and how he was

tempted to call a former interviewer who told Gordon he never would make it in the news business. Gordon's main message was to be prepared, because you never know when an opportunity will arise.
All attendees showed their school pride. Although we attend schools where we were in the minority, we claimed the schools as our own.
The conference represented leaders of today and tomorrow. As African-American leadership moves into the 21st century, the need for college-educated leaders is huge. Figures like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton can only lead for so long.
Every participant walked away with a positive experience. Hopefully that energy can sustain itself and impact change on this campus.

Times tough for graduates searching bad job market
By Melissa Shuman Kansan staff writer
A tight job market has made it tough for recent graduates like Jennifer Bills, who has struggled to find a full-time job.
Last May, Bills received her degree in economic studies from the University of Kansas and hasn't found much that relates to her major.
"I went to the job fair last year, but it was mostly geared for engineering and business majors," she said.
Bills just finished work at a temporary position in the Enrollment Center at KU.
"I've been working temp jobs since graduation," Bills said. "I'm interested in being a research analyst but I can't find anything that relates to that."
Julie Fox, recruiter coordinator for the School of Business, said that the job market was becoming more competitive with the economic decline and that students should be prepared.
"Jobs aren't falling out of the sky or into students' laps anymore," Fox said. "Even last year, students might have eight interviews and eight offers. It just takes more work now."
Bills said she interviewed at Sprint and the Federal Reserve Bank in Kansas City, Mo., but the companies said they wanted more skills.
"Employers want experience, because all the people that have been laid off that you're competing with experience," she said.
Career Fair
On February 13th and 14th, there will be a Career and Employment Fair in the fourth floor of the Kansas Union.
To prepare for the job fair, KU Career Services will offer a resume review day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, at room 110 in the Burge Union.
For more information, go to www.ku.edu/~uces/careerrfair/
Bills had planned on working a few years before going to graduate school, but the lack of jobs makes her want more experience.
Gail Rooney, director for KU Career & Employment Services, said that internships were one good way for college students to get started on a career path.
"Employers may hire less entry-level grads, but they do have more interns because it's better than an interview," she said. "They've said they hire 30 percent of interns."
Rooney said even if companies didn't offer employment after an internship, the student would still have valuable contacts and experience.
She also said one area that was doing more hiring was the government, because 30 to 50 percent of its employees were
preparing for retirement in five years.
Dee Steinle, associate director of masters programs in the School of Business, recommended that students develop a network while still in college. She said that it was useful for students to familiarize themselves with people in their future work field.
"You have to always think about it — think about every single person that could contribute to your career plans." Steinle said. "It's important for students to get to know faculty members in their area of expertise; they can help keep students in mind when there's an opportunity.
Bills said she wished she had gotten more experience as an undergraduate.
"If you're still in college, get some kind of entry-level job so you can get that experience while you're in college," she said.
Steinle said that students needed to put forth lots of planning and effort into finding a job.
"Students need to be more strategic and employ resources available to them," she said.
Rooney said that it usually took months for students to find jobs.

"From the time you start your job search, it will take you three to six months to find a job." Rooney said.

8E.6th St • 841.3888 ibeandakeslanding.net
During his presentation before the Rights Committee, Bailey said that Kansan advertising was an effective means in promoting the blood drive. He cited an informal survey he conducted at the last blood drive.
"Sixty-three people out of 300 said that they donated blood because they saw the ad in the paper that day," Bailey said. "These ads are important."
"There is a Intra-Fraternity Council and Panhellenic representative, but no specific senator for these living organizations," he said.
Bailey said he was concerned that without advertising, fewer people would donate blood.
The committee did not meet the two-thirds majority vote needed for the bill to progress to full Senate, but the 16 to 15 vote was close enough for the committee to reconsider the bill in two weeks.
Bailey said he would not submit the bill again because his next opportunity to do so would be too late for Senate to allocate the money before the blood drive starts at the end of February.
Student Senate funding is the only funding that pays for Kansan advertising for the blood drive.
Anna Gregory, senate communications director and member of the Rights Committee, said the group's purpose was not to decrease the number of blood donations, but to ensure that everyone was treated equally.
"We don't want people to not go to the blood drive," Gregory said. "We just don't want to fund something that's unfair."
The Student Senate University Affairs Committee created a bill that would formulate senate positions for students living in offcampus residential fraternities and sororities.
In other business:
Senate rules and regulations say that the students who live in the fraternity and sorority houses are not represented by off-campus senators.

potentially dangerous equipment. The priority for the department is to keep the workshop fully staffed on the weekdays for the classes, Hamilton-Smith said.
Hamilton-Smith said even though there was not enough money to hire another staff member, the
administration's position could be reevaluated as the semester went on.
"I was told that it was a luxury to have the shop open on Saturday, and students needed to learn how to use the shop time more efficiently," he said.
Cotter Mitchell, materials lab coordinator, said administrators told him the Common Shop needed to be more fiscally responsible.
Mitchell said the budget allowed him student help for three hours every weekday.
In order to keep costs down, Mitchell said that he was going to charge more for materials, including charging for services.

Brantman said the extra price would be an added expense for art students.
"It hurt us when prices get hiked up," said Brantman. "It's not cool when
projects cost up to $200."

she said her scores added up to an A.
Kivett said the hardest thing about changing her grade was all the paperwork she had to fill out later.
"There was a lot of confusion about it," Kivett said. "But I went to my teacher and explained the problem, and he agreed with me."
"There were a lot of hoops to jump through," Kivett said. "And even then it took a full semester to get the grade changed on my transcript."
Michael Johnson, director of the Freshmen Sophomore English Department, said if a student couldn't work the issue out with their teacher then there was only one basis on which the grade could be changed.
"The only way we'll accept a grade appeal is if the student can prove their teacher hasn't graded by the announced standards," Johnson said.
Johnson said he talked to about two students a semester who wanted to change a class grade.
According to the department's Web site, a student who wants to appeal a grade must also turn in all their quizzes, exams and written work from the class to the department director. Johnson said these requests were reasonable.
"If you don't have all the information, then we can't make a judgment," Johnson said.
Johnson said if students had problems with the teacher, they could go to many places, including the KU Ombudsman.
The ombudsman can set up an informal discussion for both sides to work out their differences, said Robert Shelton, KU ombudsman.
While the appeals process may be difficult, Johnson said students had plenty of places to take their grievances.
"We've found if students don't follow up all possible options it usually means they have the common sense to realize their argument isn't that strong." Johnson said.

How It Feels to Land A KU Scholarship
"Can you say s-c-h-w-e-e-e-t, boys and girls?" There's no feeling quite like the one that makes you feel all dweeby on learning you've received a KU scholarship.
Some think that KU Endowment makes the decision Actually,donors decide. When setting up scholarship funds at KU Endowment, donors want to help certain people -students from their hometown,say,or those in a certain major or school. Scholarships are awarded based on their criteria.
KU Endowment manages the accounts and writes the checks.
ku first
Ahh, the checks. $25 million worth of scholarships, fellowships and loans helped more than 9,000 students just this year. For expenses like tuition, pizza and ... new pocket protectors. You know - life's necessities.
KU's campaign, KU First, intends to raise $500 million by 2004. $116 million of which will benefit KU students. With two new schol-halls and even more scholarships and fellowships.
Because there are still a lot of students who deserve to get that dweeby feeling.

COMMENTARY
Chris Wristen cwristen@kansan.com
Mascots may bring back old, tantrum-having Bobby Knight
Bobby Knight's temperamental past has been well documented, but he's been a surprisingly good boy since arriving at Texas Tech last spring.
The legendary former Indiana University coach, who was fired by Indiana after violating a "zero-tolerance" policy concerning his erratic behavior and a short fuse, has apparently been almost as generous as Santa Claus since taking over as coach of the Red Raiders.
Sure, he hasn't been given many reasons to lose his temper — he has Tech in the Top 25 for the first time since 1994, the Texas hospitality treats him well and a cop even let him off the hook for speeding just a few months after moving there — but it's hard to imagine that even the solitude of Lubbock, Texas, could be enough to calm and cool the raging inferno that Knight became during his 29 years coaching Indiana.
That could all change at 3 p.m. Saturday when No. 24 Texas Tech comes to Lawrence to play No. 2 Kansas. The very thing that could set him off considers Allen Fieldhouse its natural habitat and doesn't like it when someone or something else steals its home court spotlight — the mascot.
The mascots seemed pretty ticked off when The Penguin — an incredible fan creation that I hope will make a return soon — made multiple appearances in the student section last year. Baby Jay climbed into the student section and tried to cut in on The Penguin's thunder. Big and Baby Jay saw that as a violation of their territory.
Knight has a larger-than-life persona that could infringe on their Allen Fieldhouse territory, too. The mascots have the power to push him over the edge — not from flailing their wings or throwing T-shirts to the crowd — but because of their smell. Baby Jay's suit isn't too bad, but the horrible stench permeating from Big Jay's suit makes a sweat-soaked running shoe after a run through the sewer seem like potpourri. Four-month old rotting pumpkins smell better. Road kill smells more appealing. Its awful aroma is noticeable within a 15-foot radius. It's almost powerful enough to knock a grown man unconscious.
But the stink spreads, too. Parents beware! When Big Jay high-fives a fan or puts its wing around a kid while posing for a photo, its funk rubs off, and the kid becomes a carrier pigeon for the foul fragrance.
Considering Knight's history at snapping over small things, the tension of a hard-fought game combined with Big Jay's stench just might do it. And it would be hard to blame him. Knight has always been a fan of hygiene, ranging from a clean-cut haircut to a tucked-in jersey. I'm sure he'd find an unclean costume intolerable.
Cleaning the suit frequently can get expensive, so I'll eagerly donate a few bottles of Febreeze to help tide things over until the Athletice Department can buy the bird a bath.
Something needs to be done, because it would be a shame for Knight to spoil his new nice-guy image over something so minor as a smelly bird suit.

Mangino signs first class
Speed is a 'sign' of the times for new football recruits; Mangino's late start doesn't hinder results.
By John Domoney
Kansan sportswriter
KU KU KU KU KU KU
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino has been around the college coaching carousel enough times to realize that speed is the name of the game in college football.
speed is the main factor. Mangino was a part of teams at Kansas State and Oklahoma that piled up victories based on team speed on both sides of the football.
So, it was no surprise that Mangino stressed the importance of speed in his first recruiting class at Kansas during his press conference yesterday at Hadi Auditorium.
"Speed's the name of the game," Mangino said. "The programs I've been associated with in this conference won because we could run."
won because we trained them.
The Jayhawks signed 23 players from eight states and one from Canada to national letters of intent during yesterday's signing day. Along with speed, Mangino signed a host of specially-skilled players to secure the Jayhawks' level in positions that have certain requirements — namely quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, defensive backs and linebackers.
Bill Whittemore, a transfer quarterback from Fort Scott Community College, answers questions from reporters after announcing his intent to play for Kansas next year. KU signed 23 players yesterday at its football recruit signing day.
SARA SHEPHERD/KANSAN
Twelve of the 23 players that signed yesterday are listed as offensive/defensive backs or wide receivers, and nine of the recruits have 40-year dashes of 4.5 seconds or better.
John Kirby, MoKan Football magazine recruiting editor, was impressed with Kansas' ability to recruit as strong as it did with Mangino's late start.
"If you look at some of the offers that players ended up signing you've got schools such as Oregon and Colorado," Kirby said. "They did a pretty good job of going out and finding some recruits late in the game."
Kansas gained most of its new recruits on the offensive side of the ball. Sixteen of the 23 players signed playing offensive positions.
Five new wide receivers will join the Jayhawks led by Charles Gordon of Carson, Calif., Jerome Lewis of Carrollton, Texas, Dominic Roux of Los Angeles and Mark Simmons of DeSoto, Texas.
Mangino also looked for help in the trenches with the offensive line that struggled last year to open running lanes and provide protection for Kansas' quarterbacks.
the Jayhawks signed five new offensive linemen, including junior college transfer Tony Coker.
Coker originally signed with Kansas and took a redshirt during the 2000 season for the Jayhawks. He will return to the program after playing last season at Hutchinson Community College.

'Hawks fall short with Cyclones

Senior forward Nikki White goes up for a shot against Iowa State's Mary Coffield late in the second half of last night's game at Allen Fieldhouse. White scored 11 points and grabbed nine rebounds as Kansas fell 75-50 to Iowa State.
CHRIS BURKET/KANSAN
By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter
Midway through the second half of last night's Kansas women's basketball game, three Jayhawks lunged for a loose ball under the basket. As the ball bounced out of bounds, the Jayhawks also lost grip of the game, falling to No. 12 Iowa State 75-50.
"They're not 25 points better, but we just did not play very well in the second half," Kansas coach Marian Washington said. "We just don't have that player yet, that go-to-player that can help to make a difference down the stretch."
The Cyclones (18-5 overall, 6-5 Big 12 Conference) came out cold in the first half, shooting 35 percent from the field. Kansas (5-19, 0-11) took advantage of this fact and was able to keep close to the Cyclones by making 4-of-7 firsthalf three-pointers. Two of these baskets were by senior guard K.C. Hilgenkamp, who was the focus of a box-and-one defense for much of the contest.
"With box-and-one you take that player and use her to set some screens," Washington said. "Early on we got great looks inside, we got great looks on the baseline. I didn't feel that bothered us."
Kansas fought through the defense and trailed just 30-28 at the break. In the second half, however, the 'Hawks lost focus and struggled to find scoring from any one.

Travel woes don't slow Iowa State
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
When it comes to playing at Allen Fieldhouse in the past decade, No. 12 Iowa State would prefer to just stay home.
Despite the Cyclone's 75-50 victory over Kansas last night, this year's trip was no exception.
"It was a bad day." Cyclone forward Melanie Bremer said with a sigh.
Before last night, the Cyclones (18-5 overall, 6-5 in Big 12 Conference play) had left Lawrence as losers on nine of their last 10 trips, dating back to 1991.
Although they finally did beat the Jayhawks (5-19,0-11), it came with a scare off the court.
Already delayed with radio problems, the team's charter flight, destined for Kansas City yesterday morning, was greeted in Des Moines, Iowa, by a barrage of fire trucks and ambulances after faulty landing gear forced an emergency landing.
The Cyclones were forced to board a bus from Des Moines to Lawrence, arriving just two hours prior to tipoff.
"Charter flights are supposed to be convenient," coach Bill Fennelly said. "This one ended up being totally inconvenient."
The tardiness forced the Cyclones to miss their game-day shoot-around. The rust seemed evident by their 35 percent shooting in their first half, a significant drop off from their 49 percent average on the year.

RECRUITS
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7A
On defense, the Jayhawks gained two junior college defensive ends that are expected to contribute rightaway.
Reggie Curry of Oxnard, Calif., and Cory Kipp from Riverside, Calif., hope to form a sturdy golden state connection to strengthen the Kansas defense.
The one position that Mangino struggled to recruit was an interior defensive linemen. Mangino, however, said he was still talking to two defensive linemen that he hinted might still sign with the Jayhawks in the next few weeks.
Even with the impressive list of skill players, no player has grabbed more attention in Mangio's first recruiting try than Fort Scott Community College transfer Bill Whittimore.
The talented quarterback, who enrolled at Kansas in January, figures to be a major force in the ensuing quarterback battle that Mangino said would begin in spring practice and spill over into the fall.
Mangino believes that Whittemore will bring the
certain type of attitude that Mangino wants to instill in his players.
"He's a tough, hardnosed, competitive guy," Mangino said. "I talked to every head coach in the layhawk Conference about Bill Whittimore, and everyone of them said he's a difference maker. I just think he's a gritty, gutsy, smart, tough guy and that's the kind of guy we're looking to lead our offense."
Mangino said he was thrilled to have a player of the caliber of Whittimore, but he
thinks no recruiting class can be judged until they prove themselves on the field.
"Overall I'm pleased, and I'm very excited about this recruiting class," Mangino said. "As I said early on you really don't know how good any of the them will be until they get to the field."

"I couldn't hit a shot today"
senior guard Selena Scott said.
"I just couldn't buy a bucket. Nikki did real well today posting up for us and scoring on the inside but we need more people to step up and score."
Scott ended with 4 points on 1-of-11 shooting while fellow senior forward/center White fought through persistent foul trouble. She sat down two minutes into the second half and finished with 11 points in 14 minutes — the only Jayhawk in double figures.
Washington said the inside game suffered with White sitting on the bench.
"Nikki was in foul trouble so I couldn't go back to her
early," she said. "We had opportunities in the paint and just couldn't put 'em down."
Five different Cyclones finished in double digits, led by Tracy Gahan with 19 points. She helped Iowa State pull away, scoring six points in the final three minutes. Washington said her team could not respond to this change of momentum in the second half.
"When that momentum swings you've got to have that experience that is patient and that understands how to get it back, and we just don't have that right now," she said. "We just don't have that seasoned gamer at this point."

THE MISSING NEWSPAPER
Paper surrounded the toilet in the women's bathroom of Fraser Hall. The men's restroom looked similar, winning the worst bathroom on campus award.
By Leah Shaffer
Kansan staff writer
This year, Jayplay is proud to give out the first-ever "Golden Stalls" awards. Where do you go when you have to "go" on campus? Three bathroom judges went to an assortment of tantalizing toilets on campus to provide you with in-depth information as to where the best
dimension sets where the boat and the worst latrines are located.
Judges
Judge Ian Spiridigliozzi is a Flint, Mich., senior majoring in English. He thinks KU bathrooms are necessary.
Judge April Matthews is a Salina senior majoring in psychology: "I've had good times in these bathrooms. I've cried in them, I've laughed."
Wescoe Hall: Sketchy, very sketchy
HONORABLE MENTIONS
Judge Leah Shaffer is a Hays junior in journalism:"KU bathrooms are sometimes scummy, but lovable."
Judges Matthews and Shaffer agreed that the fourth floor east bathroom was bleak, gray and generally dirty. Matthews appreciated the dark, hidden lounge with its blue couches that lurked in the corner. However, it was later deemed to be a haven for possible criminal activities.
In the men's bathroom, Judge Spiridigliozzi found urinals that would not flush, holes in the stalls and a general lack of entertaining graffiti. Annoying powder soap dispensers and sinks that either dripped or shot out water like a firehose hung from the wall.
Overall rating: 2 out of 5 plungers. / /
Strong Hall: Enter the Wormhole
The bathrooms on the first floor west side of the main lobby of Strong were remodeled, so they looked almost exactly like the bathrooms in Budig Hall. Matthews said the bathrooms had that "new Budig smell" and suggested that the Strong Hall bathrooms were actually wormholes into the Budig bathrooms. However, this could not be verified.
Generally, both the men's and the women's rooms were clean with steel stalls and automatic faucets. One added
bonus: The women's bathroom has a futuristic-looking tampon machine. Nice.
Overall rating 4 out of 5 plungers.
Art and Design: Trippy colors
The Art and Design bathrooms can be dirty, but it's a colorful dirtiness. Multicolored handprints cover the doors. The stalls are bright '60s-era orange. Sinks are stained from paint and charcoal.
Spiridigliozzi said that the men's bathroom had flickering lights and blood-colored floors. Electrical tape kept one of the stall doors up.
Overall rating: 3 out of 5 plungers. / / /
Watson Library: Beware of dungeon bathrooms and graffiti
"With bathrooms in Watson.
you have to fight for every shred of toilet paper you get," said Matthews, who works in Watson. Spiridiglizozzi said that graffiti in the bathrooms listing "sex times" frightened him.
According to Matthews, Watson also contains one of the most unused dungeon bathrooms on campus, located on the first floor near the bookbinding department.
All in all, Watson bathrooms are clean, but beware the unexpected surprises.
Overall rating: 3 out of 5 plungers. / / /
Matthews considered the Union to be her least favorite because of narrow stalls, toilet
BEST AND WORST AWARDS
seats that veer to the right and overall yuckiness. In some cases, automatic sensory motion faucets make up for the mess. Be warned before using the bathrooms: The Union is a high traffic area and the bathrooms can get especially messy and stinky mid-day. However, Spiridigliozzi found the men's room to be decent overall.
Kansas Union, fourth floor: Worst women's restroom
Overall rating: 2 out of 5 plungers. / /
Twente Hall: Best women's restroom
It's a secret gem. In this small, but oh-so-shiny bathroom, the mellow blue tiles glimmer in the late afternoon light. Twente Hall, nudged between Watson and Fraser, used to be the location of the campus hospital, but now it houses the School of Social Welfare. These small, private bathrooms are one of many
small highlights to this gorgeous little stone building.
"You can tell that it's loved and well-taken care of," Matthews said.
Overall rating: 5 out of 5 plungers.
Fraser Hall: Worst Men's bathroom
Fraser is the swamp of all bathrooms," Spiridigliozzi said after he entered the first floor latrine. Inexplicably, the restroom contains four toilet paper rolls for one stall. Spiridigliozzi said that he thought Fraser was the worst because of its general lack of cleanliness and strong smell. The women's bathroom was not much better.
Overall rating: 1 out of 5 plungers.
Learned Hall: Only the best for the engineers...Winner for best Men's
Learned is like the Emerald City of all bathrooms. A lovely mint green wall compliments the maroon stalls and matching floor tiles. The mirrors can be pulled out for primping purposes and its stalls are spotless.
Learned wins the men's award not only for its beauty, but for its back windows that make a handy-dandy escape route. Spiridigliozzi made his exit that way.
As for the Learned women's: "It makes me want to relieve myself." Matthews said.
Overall rating: 5 out of 5 plungers.

Kegels increase sexual endurance
Here's something for you to think about the next time you head for the john. While peeing, try to stop the stream. Can you do it? How 'bout one more time? If you're really feeling wild or have been drinking heavily try to keep stopping and starting. Feel the burn?

does, graciously
Well, Tiger, even though you might have sounded like a defective faucet, you're actually giving one of the most important muscles in your body a workout.
You see, not only does your pubococcygeus or "PC" muscle help you hold in the weekly specials at your favorite watering hole, it also does really important things for vaginas, penises and their owners.
S
David Strovny, the sex education correspondent for AskMen.com, www.askmen.com, is all about the exercises. According to Strovny, you'll know you have a PC muscle of steel if you can make your erection jump using only your muscle strength.
Guys, if you exercise your PC musc cle, and do it religiously, you can expect results like having an increased hang time and — when you finally get there — having better, longer orgasms.

Ah, but the lovely ladies of the University of Kansas aren't left out of this sweet PC muscle deal either.
A strong PC muscle can help you increase your grip on whatever you decide to put in your vagina - be it a penis or otherwise. A PC muscle of steel also can help with increasing orgasm intensity. Can I get an oh, OH yeah for that?
an all or other year. A little less erotic benefit for women is better bladder support as well.Having a strong PC muscle can be especially useful to women after childbirth to help bladder control.
So, are you ready to have a PC muscle to die for? Well, then get on the Kegel exercise train. Kegel exercises are the technical term for giving your PC muscle a good workout by squeezing and flexing. And even though Kegel exercises may seem to be too good to be true, they do work — if they are done consistently and right.
Like with any exercise, form is important. Kegels only do their job well
Women can check their form by inserting a finger or two into the vagina and feeling for the vaginal walls to squeeze.
when the PC muscles are the only ones doing the squeezing.
Guys, try to get a feel for the muscle by stopping the flow when you go. If that doesn't work, you can also locate your PC muscle by sticking a finger in your anus and feeling for contractions there.
After locating your muscle, the real fun begins — the exercises! Try doing them for just five minutes, twice a day. Not a big commitment, huh? But, guess what: Unlike most other exercises, you can do them anytime, anywhere — and nobody will know! Not the hottie in the next seat, not your professor, not even your roommate. Well, not unless you're doing the Kegel marathon and start grunting or sweating. And, another word of caution, they can sometimes cause some — uh — arousal. So, Kegel exercises before a big presentation might not be the best idea.
With regular exercise, you should feel your PC muscles getting stronger and stronger. Try flexing a little bit to see what happens — give your partner a nice surprise. Or, if you both are Kegel freaks, try a little mutual exercising. Whatever you do, just keep those PC muscles flexing.
Sample Kegel Exercise
Here's a Kegel exercise routine from the lovely folks at AskMen.com. See the website for more. Never fear, these routines work for men and women. Do them together with your partner, or alone at home whatever feels better.
Clench and unclench your PC muscle for 5 seconds with a 5-second break. Do this 10 times in a row.
Quickly clench and unclench your PC muscle for a 10-second period, then take a 10-second break. Perform three sets, then take a 30-second break.
Tighten your PC muscle for 30 seconds and release for 30 seconds. Do three times in a row.
Repeat the first step and you're done for the day.

Shouting wrong name reveals deeper problem
RELATIONSHIPS COLUMN
Earlier this week I read a question from a female reader in the Free for All dealing with yelling out one guy's name while having sex with another guy. Specifically, I was asked how I felt about it.
Let me tell you, it is something I pray will happen each time I have sex. I wait for the ultimate moment of passion and pray that instead of "Oh! James! Yes!" I hear "Oh! Billy! Right there!"
Seriously, many of my friends have confided in me about their excursions into imagination while in the bedroom. They tell me about exes who appear in their dreams. They tell me about celebrities with whom they would love to get naked. They tell me all about different people, and it makes me sad.
Never have I imagined myself being with someone else in any context. Whether I'm attending a movie or spending the night at a love interest's
James Manning jmanning@kansan.com
house, I always know — and do not pretend otherwise — that the person I am with is the person on my mind.
"Liar!" my friend Kara claims.
"We've all done it, Just be honest."
I am being honest. And I think the honesty is allowed because I always make sure I am truly with the person with whom I want to be.
Research done by the Kinsey Institute in 2000 shows most fantasies involving imagination of a different person almost always center on a previous sex partner. This means people are reliving past sexual experiences through a new one with a less desired partner.
It goes without saying that this is unhealthy. If this is happening to you, you most likely have either entered a new relationship too quickly and were not able to displace issues from the old relationship, or you think your new partner is boring in the sack. The latter is almost always easier to fix. It is the former that is tough.
When we don't have this,we feel like something is wrong with us.The truth is,though,that virtually everyone reading this column could have a new sex partner if he or she wanted.As humans
Our nation is comprised primarily of co-dependent people. We almost always want someone else around whether it be while watching television, going shopping or going to bed.
we have standards, though, and will not simply take what is there. Unfortunately, many of us grab the next best thing and use him or her as a sexual substitute until someone else comes along.
The only answer I can provide to fix that problem is not to flirt with, date or get naked with someone unless you are sure you are ready.
So, to the inquisitive reader who called the University Daily Kansan, I suggest breaking up with your boyfriend - if he has not already dumped you. Next, hold off on initiating a relationship until you are ready. This will avoid embarrassing situations, and it will allow you to move on with your life.
Smile, be brave, get over it. Easier said than done, but all relationships that have come to an end eventually heal. Yours will be no exception.
'I am Sam's scores with music, Beatle references
By Brad Weiner Jayplay writer
The recent release I Am Sam may not be a film critic's best friend, but from a music standpoint, it is one of the most emotional films ever to land on the silver screen.
The Beatles' story plays a very subtle back beat to the main plot which involves a custody battle for the daughter of Sam, a mentally disabled man played by Sean Penn.
tles.
In the opening scene, Sam names his daughter Lucy Diamond Dawson after the LSD influenced song Sgt. Pepper's. During the film there are ample references to the fab four and their supernova career that burned brightly for eight short years, such as Sam's apartment being adorned with posters and memorabilia from the Bea-
I Am Sam is so interesting because Sam's mental disability applies to everything except the band. Often in the film he is flustered for the words to describe a particular emotion. Sam resorts to metaphorical comparisons to the Beatles in these situations.
For instance, when the courts treat him like an expendable entity, he describes how George Harrison was never recognized until he wrote "Here Comes the Sun," the tune that many fans consider the highlight of Abbey Road. Michelle Pfeiffer responds that Harrison was always her favorite.
In another scene Lucy — played by the adorable newcomer Dakota Fanning — testifies about her father while he watches via closed circuit television
The state attorneys ask whether Sam can give her everything she needs. She responds coolly. "All you need is love."
But best of all is the music. The original score was composed by John Powell, whose surreal melodies can be found in Shrek and Antz. The soundtrack consists of entirely Beatles songs covered by recent artists.
I Am Sam is a testament to the beautiful songs of the Beatles because parts of the film would be emotionally empty without the music. The most poignant moment in the movie is when Sam watches Lucy paint with her newly appointed foster mother, played by Laura Dern. He is so saddened he turns away and runs the other direction. In the background is the soulful tenor singing of Eddie Vedder belting out the classic You've Got to Hide Your Love
Another tear jerker was when Sam communicated with his daughter by dropping a pink Origigi bird from a tree. Lucy picks it up and understands the message while vocal goddess Sarah McLaughlin belts out Blackbird.
Other performances include I'm Looking Through You, by the Wallflowers, Across the Universe, by Rufus Wainwright, and a funky Strawberry Fields Forever, by Ben Harper. Hard-cores may be disappointed since the Beatles are not actually in the film, but to such fans, here are a few suggestions: Take it easy. Let it be. Life goes on.

Don't 'Walk' down this beaten path
The word of today is unoriginal. That's right, kids, say it with me — un-or-i-iginal. Does every one know what it means? Well, the definition of unoriginal is actually the film A Walk to Remember.
I'm sorry that I had to take everyone on a trip back to grade school, but Mandy Moore's first appearance on the silver screen was so elementary that I was left with no other choice. A Walk to Remember offers nothing new to the teen-pop genre; instead, it offers a quick lesson in recycling formulas.
COMMENTARY
Adapted from the Nicholas Sparks' novel, Remember is the story of Jamie Sullivan (Moore), a teen-aged daughter of the town preacher who concerns herself with church and astrology rather than clothes and partying.
And then there is her antithesis Landon Carter (Shane West), the popular trouble maker.
COMMENTARY
After getting himself in trouble, Landon serves his punishment by taking the lead role in the school play. And who is acting across
Peter Black

from him? Jamie.
Well, you can see where this one is going the two end up falling for each other, leaving Landon with no other choice but to sacrifice his popularity in the name of love.
Does this story sound familiar yet? It should, because this is a story that continues to be told over and over.
Remember is what you would get if you crossed She's All That and Sweet November. Instead of blazing a new trail, Moore does what pop stars do best — takes us down a worn path.
On top of being completely uninspired,
*Remember* assumes that a pop star and an
opportunity to make you cry is enough to make a good movie. Rather than focusing on crucial plot points like actually showing the scene when Jamie and Landon fall for each other, the makers of this film opt to find scenes for Moore to showcase her singing ability.
Throughout the film are multiple points when the story skips ahead of the viewer leaving audiences piecing together fragments of the plot.
the plot.
Remember is nothing more than a shameless ploy to make a quick buck off a demographic that continues to prove time and time again that it will buy anything in a nice package.
Unlike other "teen films," such as Clueless, Bring It On and American Pie, that ascend out of the pack of unoriginal cliche films to become fresh voices of a generation, Remember does no such rising.

Local students to unveil Hughes project
THE DEFINITION OF A CRIME IS NOT WHAT IT SHOULD BE.
By Meghan Brune Jayplay writer
Tim Rollins of Kids of Survival helps a middle school student memorize a Langston Hughes poem at the Spencer Museum of Art. Rollins and the Kids of Survival students will unveil their collaborative artwork 5:30 to 7:30 pm Saturday, Feb. 9, at the museum.
A group of 24 Lawrence middle school students gathered around a long, narrow table in the University of Kansas' Spencer Museum of Art ready for their first day. But this was not the after-school program they had expected, and they are no longer the young kids who originally entered the museum.
JILLIAN THORPE/KANSAN
"This is not an ordinary middle school, high school or college class. In here we make knowledge, we create it," artist-in-resident Tim Rollins said.
As a component of the International Symposium on the Art, Life and Legacy of Langston Hughes, artist Tim Rollins and the Kids of Survival are creating The Langston Hughes Project, an intense, one-week after-school art program designed for kids with educational and emotional disabilities. This, however, is not the theory under which Rollins leads his classes.
"I don't have any students with disabilities just different abilities," Rollins said.
Lynn Buehler, Kearney, Neb., junior, worked in the museum some of the nights of Rollins' program.
Rolins program:
"I am mostly here to make sure no one gets lost," she said. "But from what I have seen, he really wants the kids to learn."
really want the student to collaborate with the artist and reveal their efforts to the public Saturday. Along with working toward the final goal 24 watercolors painted directly on the text from Langston Hughes' poem Harlem #2-A Dream Deferred, students will be learning about Hughes life and time spent in Lawrence.
"I teach them philosophy, literature and history," Rollins said. "I teach them to love
knowledge and to love life."
Rollins developed KOS in 1982 in the South Bronx and has since worked with kids around the country including Kansas City. His projects include William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man and Franz Kafka's Amerika. This is the first Langston Hughes project and the first time for the program in Lawrence.
"We have been wanting to do a project with Tim Rollins for a long time," said Kristina Mitchell, education services coordinator at Spencer. She said with the Langston
Hughes symposium, everything fell into place.
The KOS programs, on average, are composed of students who may dislike school, but who have a desire and an aptitude to create art.
"We are artists. We are different," Rollins said. "It is sometimes painful, but we are the outsiders and we see things differently."

STOMP bangs into Lied mixes style, fast moves
By Alicia Urban Jayplay writer
人
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
What do you get when you take push brooms, Zippo lighters, wooden poles, garbage cans, matchboxes and hubcaps and put them all together?
If you are part of the eightmember performance troupe STOMP, you have one of the most successful productions in history—a production centered on percussion and movement.
STOMP is the brainchild of Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas, former members of the British street band Pookiesnackenburger.
The original STOMP premiered at the Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh during the summer of 1991. There, it won the Daily Express" "Best of the Fringe" award and the Guardian's "Critic Choice."
Members of the performance troupe STOMPbring together elements of percussion, movement and visual comedy to entertain their audiences. The group has four shows this weekend in the Lied Center.
Since then, the tour has become a worldwide hit. The cast of STOMP recorded music for the movies Tank Girl and Riot, as well as Quincy Jones' album Q's Jook Ice. They have appeared in commercials for Coca-Cola and Target. Cast members also appeared in Brooms, a short film nominated for an Academy Award.
In March 1996, STOMP appeared at the Academy Awards ceremony. The HBO Special STOMP Out Loud earned four Emmy Award nominations, winning one.
STOMP's success does not come without hard work. Their schedule is grueling and physically strenuous, requiring the performers to be in excellent shape. This year, STOMP will perform in 60 cities in a six-month period.
STÖMP does not use words or melodies, thus
abolishing the elements that can divide people. By using rhythm, they attempt to reach all people, no matter the age, race or social background.
On www.stomponline.com, Cresswell and McNicholas describe their show as "fast moving, very physical and full of energy, but it is performed with humor and with an eye to the dynamics of music and theater."
Jen White, Dallas, freshman will be attending STOMP with her mother, who is making the trip up from Texas to see the show. Neither have been to STOMP before, and both are looking forward to the experience.
said, "So I know the general idea."
"I've seen them on TV," White
STOMP will be 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Lied Center, 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. Saturday, and 2 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $40 and $34 for the public; $40 and $34 for students; and $20 and $17 for matinees only. Tickets are on sale at the Lied Center Ticket Office, the Student Union Activities Box Office in the Kansas Union, any Ticketmaster outlet and online at www.Tickets.com.

KU Info crew: the fast and the fun
By Alicia Urban Jayplay writer
Dan Beckmann sits in a small room, surrounded by newspaper clippings and by walls covered with pieces of information.
The telephone rings and instead of the usual "Hello" Beckmann answers, "KU Info, this is Dan."
"It's a lot of timing and luck," he said.
But because of the lack of turnover, not many positions become available at KU Info. Beckmann said he was informed of an opening there when KU Info's director sent an e-mail through the honors program mailing list.
After a year working for KU Info, Beckmann said he considered himself fortunate to have gotten the job.
Beckmann said he stayed busy on the job primarily by answering phone calls, but also clipping newspaper articles to find useful information such as weather forecasts, lottery numbers and other articles that could interest callers.
He considered applying because a job at KU Info would be good for his future because "it helps a lot with interpersonal skills" and "shows commitment," he said. He said the job was "very intense but also very fun."
Newspaper clippings are one way that KU Info employees find the facts they share with callers. They also keep between 60 and 80 books in the room, along with bulletin boards covered with information that may prove useful.
Much of what people ask comes from the published information from the University or from its departments, such as the Lied Center and Student Union Activities.
KU Info also has about 4,000 cards with general, random knowledge. Beckmann said. Contrary to popular belief, KU Info
Contrary to popular belief, KU Info
does not heavily rely on the Internet for its sources.
"We really avoid the Internet because it is slow and unreliable," he said.
Despite the amount of preparation done by the staff, some answers cannot come in a book or from a University of Kansas publication. he said.
"One time we were called to settle a dispute between house mates over who was to get the bigger room," Beckmann said. "Each of us in the room talked it over and decided for them."
But is there anything they don't know?
Beckmann said there is often confusion between three libraries on campus: the Spencer Research Library, the Murphy Art & Architecture Library found in the Spencer Museum of Art, and the Gorton Music & Dance Library found in Murphy Hall.
"Sometimes the scariest thing about this job is not knowing the answer because they expect us to." Beckmann said.
"They are extremely campus active," Gilbert said, referring to the staff consisting of four student senators, three Greek students and two alternative spring break planners.
The 13 students that work there amaze Cori Gilbert, a graduate assistant at KU Info.
The University Information Center was founded by the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs in 1970. It served as a rumor control center to provide correct information and prevent any problematic situations on campus. Slowly, it became a center for campus and community information.
KU Info is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to midnight and can be reached at 864-3506.

LEWIS
BY THOMS AND MOZLEY
Thomas & Peter Mazeley
NICE PURSE,
LEWIS.
PURSE! THIS IS A COURIER BAG.
SummerJob is a comedy about a man becoming his own person, in spite of strong influences from both his girlfriend and his best friend. The film is similar in style to Clerks, which is something he is proud of.
Heinitz, who graduates in December with a degree in film studies, began working on the script after watching Clerks, a movie directed by Kevin Smith. Heinitz spent the last four years writing what he calls a "trial-and-error script" and began filming the movie yesterday.
After four years of hard work, students usually look toward graduation as a commemoration of their effort. But Chris Heinitz, Emporia senior, anticipates the finish of his movie, *Summer Job*.
jumping Heinitz said he was thankful that he had overseen previous productions and worked on film crews before.
PURSE COURIER
BAG, JAME
DIFFERENCE.
No matter what happens at the film festivals, Heinitz plans to finish his final semester at the University of Kansas in the fall. After graduation he plans to begin filming his second film, using a script he finished more quickly than the first.
After filming is complete. Heinitz plans to take the movie to major film festivals in Toronto, Dallas, New York and Los Angeles where he'll be looking for an agent to help market his film.

YOU SHOULDN'T DO THAT TO HIM, DOROTHY—HE'S VERY SENSITIVE.

Jayplay writer
ByBecky McClelland
"A lot of people don't like Clerks' style of explaining rather than showing, but I think it was perfect," Heinitz said. "I'm taking that kind of story and rolling with it."
Student eager for Summer Job
Heinitz is also producing the film and financing it largely with his own savings. The filming takes place in his apartment.
"It went so much faster the second time," he said. "I know all the mistakes, pit-falls I made the first time."
"Good things come to those who wait," he said.
To those who are slaving away at their own scripts, Heinitz suggests buying a copy of Robert McKee's book The Story, which he calls the most influential book about writing ever written.
He also reminded potential writers to be patient.

Contormity scare unnerves residents of Hashinger Hall
Ben Ross
A large number of Hashinger Hall residents were shaken yesterday by rumors of some form of conformity occurring in their residence hall.
"It was kinda hard for me to imagine that this kind of thing could happen here," said Brian Ershwain, Mission Hills sophomore. "So I knew something had to be done to stop it, whatever it was."
About 30 concerned residents, aiming to scare off any conformist conspirators, rushed to their rooms to get bongos and guitars. They met in front of the residence hall and sang their favorite songs about individuality.
songs about it,
"It was a great effort by us kids," said a freshman who asked to be called Sunshine. "And when I saw everyone in tie-dyed shirts and wearing sandals out front, I knew no conformity could occur here. We had won the day."
Although no one is sure where the rumors began, residents are confident that together they can withstand all forms of conformity.

Wescoe named national eyesore
Beloved campus building Wescoe Hall was named to the National Registry of Eyesores and Monstrosities in a ceremony Monday.
Wescoe joined an enviable list of other famous eyesores such as the Los Angeles County Landfill.
Robert C. Ashton, director of the registry, said Wescoe was very deserving of the honor.
"It's bunker-like appearance and interesting choice of building materials really say it all, not to mention the landscaping." he said.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway beamed at the recognition ceremony.
arms is without a doubt the best thing to happen to KU since the NCAA championship in 1988,"he said.
Along with Wescoe's addition to the registry, a new museum is planned for the third floor, complete with a gift shop. Developers expect the commemorative paperweights, made from the cracked sidewalks surrounding the building, to be a popular item.
a poplar building in the
Daniel Howard, curator of the
museum, said he thought tourists would
flock to Wescoe.
"We'll be offering tours of the classrooms as well as the offices, and we'll be selling souvenirs in the gift shop," he said.
Sarah Fischer, graduate teaching assistant in English, agreed with Howard.
"The museum should be a success," she said. "Who wouldn't want to see where English teachers work?"

STUDENTS ATTEND CLASS MODERATELY OR NOT AT ALL 0-2 Classes per week*
- Based on a survey of 1,459 KU Students. Survey administered by Class Attendence Resistance Education.
4 of 5 students attend class moderately or not at all
By Ben Ross Kansan satire writer
A recent survey of the KU student body indicated that four out of five KU students attend class moderately or not at all.
Those who do go to class attend seldomly, typically going to one or two classes per week during an 18-week semester.
"When I came to KU, I was afraid that I would be overwhelmed by the peer pressure to attend class," said Bob Smith, Tonganoxie freshman, from his top bunk during a commercial break from a The Price is Right rerun. "But here, going to school is like totally uncool."
Smith then rummaged through a pile of ketchup packets and beer cans on his coffee table in search of the remote.
The Lawrence chapter of Class Attendance Resistance Education, reported that students have learned to counter the pressure to attend class by engaging in extracurricular activities such as watching television or smoking pot.
"This study shows that students aren't giving in to the temptation to attend class," said Lt. Jack Smith, the CARE officer with the Lawrence Police Department. "This is a positive step, but we've got a long way to go in the fight against attendance."

Student finally calls Matthews by first name
Rv Brad Weiner
Kansan satire writer
The incident occurred at a concert held at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo.
Last week, Samantha Gregory called rock icon Dave Matthews by his first name for the first time.
The move sparked frustration from
"I doubt that Dave heard her, but maybe he did. Dave is a musician and all," Beluga said. "He loves his fans, and we love him."
A friend, Josh Beluga, Overland Park junior, attended the show with Gregory, and said she screamed "I love you Dave!" from the top level of the arena immediately after playing one of his signature sex ballads.
other concert-goers. One fan, who refused to be identified, said that Gregory was drunk and kept screaming song requests to "Dave" at the top of her lungs.
"It is called the Dave Matthews Band for a reason," the man said. There are four other guys on that stage."
The Dave Matthews Band is one of the biggest acts in rock music, selling out venues coast to coast with its blend of rock, rhythm and blues and jazz.
Matthews refused comment but referred reporters to the Web site, www.davematthewsisgod.com, that said "Dave only likes to be called Dave when he is in true moments of Daveness. One must be sure of this state before calling him Dave, otherwise it could sabotage future possibilities of Daveiosity."

University tells GTAs to stop giving out fliers
By Adam Pracht Kansan staff writer
Despite being told by the registrar that they could stay, some Graduate Teaching Assistant Coalition members handing out pamphlets yesterday afternoon in Strong Hall were told to leave because they violated a written agreement.
At 8 a.m., members of the coalition began handing out pamphlets at a table in Strong Hall stating the coalition's position on the contract talk that ended at an impasse last December. About 45 students took turns watching the table with about five people there each hour.
But Morrell said the message never reached Ola Faucher, director of human resources, or GTAC members who took the place of those who had been at the table earlier.
At about 10 a.m., Richard Morrell, University registrar, told Dan Carey, GTAC co-president and Overland Park graduate student, that the group could stay, but would have to follow the guidelines about using campus facilities next time.
Faucher asked the members to leave at about 2 p.m. After the group moved to the front steps of Fraser Hall, she asked the group to leave again.
Faucher said that GTAC violated articles 9 and 10 of the memorandum agreement between the University and GTAC
"Given the nature of what they were doing, I did not think there was a problem with it," Morrell said.
The articles state that the coalition must comply with the guidelines for University Events and Registered
Organizations. Those regulations require organizations to go through an approval process for activities that use campus facilities.
Robert Vodicka, Lawrence graduate student and chairman of the negotiations committee, said that the coalition did not get approval from the University, but that it had not been an issue in the past.
Morrell said that the incident resulted from a communication problem.
But Amy Cummins, GTAC member and graduate student senator, said she thought the University wanted to silence the coalition's message.
"I'm sure that KU administration would like to see GTAC go away, but as long as there are graduate teachers at KU, GTAC will always be a powerful force," she said.
The pamphlets that GTAC passed out said, "Why don't they want to talk to us? The KU administration declared impasse rather than continue contract talks with the GTAC."
But Lynn Bretz, interim director of University Relations, said the statement was inaccurate.
"I think that GTAC has a little case of amnesia,that they forgot what happened last December," she said. "Both the University and GTAC agreed to impasse."
A federal mediator will try to create a settlement during talks on Thursday, Feb. 28. If that is unsuccessful, another mediator will talk to both sides and make a settlement recommendation to the government.

University begins preparing for possible budget cuts
By Meredith Carr
Kansan staff writer
With talk of a tuition increase in the air, budget cuts also are anticipated across campus.
The state of Kansas faces a budget shortfall of $426 million next year. At the University of Kansas, the budget cuts could mean fewer campus jobs, larger class sizes, fewer classes offered, less classroom equipment, fewer graduate student teaching opportunities, and shorter hours for some computer labs, studios and Robinson Center.
Though nothing has been decided, the University has been asked to prepare for a possible $9.5 million reduction in next year's budget, said Provost David Shulenburger.
"Nine-and-a-half million dollars is roughly 6.5 percent of our state appropriation," Shulenburger said. "Part of the proposed cut is a reduction in our base, and part of it is to fund salary increases."
Although the final numbers won't be known until June, University leaders are already making decisions about which expenses will be cut to cope with the reduction in state dollars.
Angela Lumpkin, dean of education, said that the current fiscal year's budget was tight, and next year's would only be tighter.
"It's like when you want to order desert, but know you can't afford it, so you go with the after-dinner mint instead." Lumpkin said.
The budget cuts will be made by schools, the College of Liberal arts and Sciences, and other campus organizations such as Academic Computing Services.
"Last year, we had to cut $3 million from campus units because of state cuts to base budgets and huge utility increases." Shulenburger said.
He said the administration had asked schools and departments to prepare for a cut of as much as $3.4 million from this fiscal year's budget.
Academic Computing Services is preparing for the budget cuts, said Jeree Catlin, associate director. ACS manages the Herb Harris Computing Lab in the Kansas Union and the Budig Computer Lab, Teaching Lab and Media Lab. They also manage e-mail NESTs around campus.
"We, like everyone else, are investigating ways to cut budgets—ACS is no exception," Catlin said. "Currently we don't have plans to change hours of operations or cut student services."
"The tuition increase will benefit students in that more scholarships will be open and then the graduate students will have a pay increase, which is a win-win situation," Lumpkin said. "If they get more money, then better graduate students will come to KU, which means a better education."
John Gaunt, dean of the School of Architecture & Urban Design, said the money that his school received would go toward enhancing the technical and functional equipment that was used by the students.
Vickie Hamilton-Smith, director of communications for the School of Fine Arts, said that school was evaluating its budget to prepare for any potential cuts, but that it would continue to focus on education.
A tuition increase by the Board of Regents could balance some of the state budget cuts.
With the money from the possible tuition increase, some schools plan to hire more faculty members. Others want to put the money toward equipment.
"Our primary responsibility is to provide students with the highest quality of education regardless of the budget situation," Hamilton-Smith said.

Actor lends meaning to Hughes' poetry during reading
By Leah Shaffer Kansan staff writer
Actor Danny Glover used the poems of the late Langston Hughes last night to show the poet's hope and humor, which resonated in Glover's mind as a child.
"It's so accessible to the people," he said of Hughes' work.
About 1,800 people attended the event last night at the Lied Center. Glover's performance officially starts the Langston Hughes Symposium, an event that runs until Sunday and will celebrate and explore the impact of Hughes' life and work.
"I'm really humbled to be a part of this celebration," said Glover before he began to recite some of Hughes' most famous poems such as "Freedom Train," "Trumpet Player" and "Bitter River," a poem that Hughes in the memory of two 14-year-old African-American teenagers who were murdered in Mississippi in 1942.
Heather Greene, Lawrence graduate student, said that "Bitter River" showed how Hughes was a great social critic.
Hughes was a great writer. "It showed activism in a real sense," she said.

Six priests suspended after sex charges
The Associated Press
BOSTON — Two more lawsuits were filed yesterday accusing the Archdiocese of Boston of failing to stop its priests from molesting altar boys even when it knew what was happening.
The new allegations came as the archdiocese,complying with its recent promise to report past accusations, revealed the names of six more priests who have been suspended amid charges they molested children, and forwarded more names of accused
priests to prosecutors
A lawsuit filed in Middlesex Superior Court accused Cardinal Bernard Law personally of failing to protect a 13-year-old boy from abuse by now defrocked priest John Geoghan in 1989. In the suit, Christopher Fulchino, now 25 and living in Maine, alleges Law knew or should have known about the abuse and instead relied on "a veil of silence."
Geoghan, recently convicted of sexual abuse, faces 80 civil lawsuits and two more criminal cases. In all, 130 people claim he abused them.
Last month, Law apologized for moving Geoghan to a church in Weston, even though he knew of allegations of abuse against the priest.
Meanwhile, a lawsuit filed in Suffolk Superior Court on behalf of four former altar boys accuses the archdiocese of failing to protect them and accuses the Rev. Paul Desilets of molesting them when he was assigned to Assumption Parish in Bellingham the mid-1980s.
Earlier this week, two other former altar boys filed a lawsuit against Desilets, 78, with similar allegations.

Crop artist given permission to create poet's memorial in Cuba
LAWRENCE — After 18 months of wrangling, Lawrence crop artist Stan Herd won permission Wednesday from the Department of Treasury to build a tribute to Cuban independence hero and poet Jose Marti near the Havana harbor.
Herd credits Kansas Republican senator Pat Roberts for helping him get the Treasury's approval. After Herd's initial application was rejected, Roberts sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill asking for his assistance.

STATE State budget cuts may force courts to close for three days
TOPEKA — All Kansas courts will have to close for three days between now and July unless the state provides more money quickly, Supreme Court Chief Justice Kay McFarland said yesterday.
In testimony before House and Senate budget writers, McFarland said the judiciary needed a supplemental appropriation of $600,000 in the current fiscal year, which ends June 30, and an additional $3.6 million for next year.
McFarland said salaries consume 97 percent of the court system's budget, so personnel costs were the only place to save money
Gov. Bill Graves has proposed both appropriations, but the $3.6 million for fiscal 2003 hinges on passage of his $228 million tax increase plan.
nel costs were the only Already, vacancies at the district and appellate courts are going unfilled for at least 90 days, making extra — and unpaid — days off for employees the only other way to cut expenses, she said.
The judiciary's current budget is almost $79 million, about $554,000 more than in the previous fiscal year. But that increase did not cover raises granted to employees by the Legislature, or other costs such as health insurance.

Hearing set to decide fate of Oread homes
By Lauren Beatty Kansan staff writer
When it comes to the demolition or preservation of homes owned by the University of Kansas in the 1300 block of Ohio Street, one man has the final word.
ramon Powers, the state historic preservation officer at the Kansas State Historical Society, will have a chance to gather the facts at a public hearing at 6:30 p.m. Monday at the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St.
Since the University has purchased the homes, the University of Kansas and the Oread Neighborhood Association have disagreed whether the homes should be torn down to make room for new scholarship halls. University officials say the homes do not contribute to the historic environment, but members of the Oread Neighborhood Association say they should be preserved. Powers declined to be interviewed until after the hearing.
Christy Davis, assistant division director of cultural resources for the society, said most decisions in about the demolition of older buildings in Lawrence were made locally. But the two sides couldn't agree, she said, and asked Powers to decide.
After the public hearing, Powers will have 30 days to make a decision, which can be appealed.
Powers has a set of regulations to follow when making this type of decision, Davis said.
"We operate under a state statute," she said. "We protect historic properties listed on the Kansas Register of Historic Sites."
She said if someone demolished a structure within 500 feet of a historic site, they would have to prove it didn't disrupt the historic environment.
Janet Gerstner, secretary of the Oread Neighborhood Association, said the homes contributed to the history of the area.
"Other universities have used historic homes as residence halls and have been successful," she said.
She said that if the homes were torn down, it would be "heart-breaking" for the community.
"We've lost scores of houses to KU." Gerstner said. "When does it stop? Do you go all the way to Mass. Street? Do we lose all our neighborhoods?"
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said the only thing to consider was whether the houses should be torn down. He said the University had undergone a thorough investigation and found that the homes did not contribute to the historic environment that surrounds Usher House and Spooner Hall, both registered as historic landmarks.
"Hopefully in the final analysis, they will find that demolition is appropriate and that the houses to not contribute to the environs." Stoner said.
Stoner said the addition of scholarship halls would provide a greater benefit.
FREEDOM
"Scholarship halls are a wonderful experience for students who come here," Stoner said. "They provide a great learning environment, a great social environment. There are leadership opportunities. There's nothing quite like them."
KIMBERLY THOMPSON/KANSAN
Josh Boots, president of the All Scholarship Hall Council and Plano, Texas, senior said he agreed with Stoner, although not all scholarship hall residents do. He said KU needs more low-cost student housing for students without financial support.
One of three houses that may be razed to build a new scholarship hall sits boarded up behind K.K. Amini Scholarship Hall.
Boots will attend the meeting and said he is trying to get as many scholarship hall residents as possible to attend the meeting.
"The houses in question are not historic," Boots said. "They are more of a detriment to the community than anything."

FACEOFF
History months: progressive or pointless?
Special history months offer chance to learn, remember, celebrate
Although my normally cynical self would typically choose to not support having months that recognize certain groups of people, I felt surprisingly drawn to support the designation of historical months.
I rarely participate in the events that honor these months, but I still think that they deserve recognition and support because they promote knowledge and awareness.
COMMENTARY
Eric Borja opinion@kansan.com
have had a positive impact on the world. I think this month is vital, considering how the American government and people have treated African Americans in the past. Black History Month offers a time of reflection and learning.
I think the most obvious example to support my side is Black History Month, which I hope you know is a month. This month gives us a time to recognize African-American people, both past and present, who
Such distinction also allows people who have contributed a lot to a cause to receive welldeserved attention. Some of my past professors have celebrated cultural heritage months. I remember learning about individuals such as Marcus Garvey, Thurgood Marshall and Salvador Dali because of Black History Month and Hispanic Heritage Month.
Most people view these months as another excuse to wear a different colored ribbon, but recognition months are so much more important than that.
Months like these open our eyes to a world that we might not have known existed.
I remember when, during my freshman year, my friend Kara Ryckman set up a table at Mrs. E's during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Before reading the information offered at the booth, I had no idea about breast cancer's devastating effects, nor that breast cancer affected so many women.
Those who do not support such celebratory months argue that it isn't necessary or fair because a lot of other deserving groups don't have months either. How can you possibly disregard the good that might come from month designations because some might be left out?
Any group can try to get a month or even a week dedicated to its cause. These month-long
celebrations grew from one day to a week and then to a month. It just takes a little determination.
In fact, I think we should have more months honoring other people. Britney Spears definitely needs her own month so that
everyone can experience the power and influence she has had on our culture.
FEB 1 NOV 1 SEV 1 MAR 1
But seriously, if there were a month like Erectile Dysfunction Awareness Month, maybe I would agree that all the fuss isn't necessary. But celebrating women's history in March, African-American history in February and Hispanic history in October and November are all worthy causes.Especially here in the Midwest, I think a little culture and history is needed.
If you think that these observances are not necessary, or you don't agree with the

sary, or you don't agree with the message, then don't pay attention to them. Let those who want to learn more have the resources to do so. Nobody is forcing people to hang Malcolm X posters in their rooms this month.
Like any holiday, history commemoration months are optional. If you don't agree with it, then don't recognize it. Having celebratory months doesn't hurt or single out anyone.
In a society where the ultimate goal is equality, it is ridiculous and even detrimental to continue to stress our differences. Each year, Black History Month forces us back one step on the ladder of freedom from racism.
But if you do not offer such recognitions,you will be hurting those who look forward to getting involved and bringing people closer together.

The basic principle
a specific month of the year to recognize the struggles of African Americans, Hispanics or women is a noble idea. The people who fought and died to gain freedom and to change racist or sexist biases deserve to be recognized. This is why Americans celebrate Washington's, Lincoln's and King's birthdays. These are the times set aside for remembrance and celebration.
But an entire month of an American culture dedicated to just one race, though once again good in theory, is just one more example of how racist our country still is.
Racism is typically defined as an evil thing that involves degrading and hating someone with a different skin color. People
with a different skin color. I people have died because of this hatred for the span of the world's existence, and this is why so many people fought for equality in the 1960s.
But racism is more than just violence and hate. It's an unnecessary distinction between one man and another. By observing February as a month to celebrate black history, we all fall under racism in two ways.
First, we are still saying that black is different than white. Black history doesn't mix with white history, or any other American race. The purpose of the freedom marches was to achieve equality between races. By celebrating those actions during only one month of the year, we are demeaning their purpose, because we are still showing that that
black must be distinguished from white.
Second, either way you look at it, one race is being shown superior over another. Blacks are better than the whites because they have an entire month dedicated to their history. Or whites are better than blacks, because if black history is only for one month of the year, then white history must be the other 11.
Why is black history different than white history? Or women's history? Native American history? We all have our origins, but the second our ancestors stepped on U.S. soil, our heritage fused into one: American.

COMMENTARY
Laurel Anne Burchfield opinion@kansan.com
American. The riots and marches taught during Black History Month aren't just about black history. All Americans lived through these events. It's American history, and that's not only how it should be taught but how it should be celebrated as well.
And this is where the most dangerous crime is being committed.
being committed In grade school, I learned about Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks and Malcolm X, but only in February. As a kindergartner, I was shown the difference between white and black before I could even form my own judgments. If we continue to teach the difference in races this way, the country will always fall victim to racism.Instead, we must teach equality.
teach equality I believe, as most people do, that we should celebrate our differences rather than try to fit humankind into one mold. I don't believe that all people are the same, or even that all individuals are equal for that matter.
But all races, all sexes, all religions are meant to be equal in our society. By continuing to set apart the basic differences in our society with Black History Month, we only continue to hurt ourselves.
We are one nation, one people, with individual roots, but one history. The sooner we recognize that, the sooner we can teach our children that, and the sooner we will come closer to stopping the hate.

Donor basketball tickets should be better regulated by Athletics
Purchasing a general admission ticket to tomorrow's men's basketball game against Texas Tech was hard to do, considering the entire Allen Fieldhouse was sold out before tickets became available to the general public Jan.29.
Although Richard Konzem, assistant athletic director, said the unavailability of tickets is not a rare thing with Big 12 games this far into the season, that doesn't mean it's acceptable.
The more students redeem their ticket vouchers, the fewer general admission seats will be available. That makes sense.
The Williams Fund benefits the Athletics Department with its approximately $5 million in donations each year. That money supports more than 400 student athletes and helps purchase equipment.
In return for anywhere from $100 to $10,000 — the bigger the donation, the better the chance at getting good tickets — donors can purchase tickets after the student guaranteed redemption period, but before the general public.
What's more troubling is another factor, which may lower chances for the public to see Roy's Boys in action: the benefits afforded to Williams Fund donors.
wiiams Fund members are limited to four tickets per game, but with more than 3,500 donors, a possible 14,000 seats — about 87.5 percent of the 16,000 total seats — are available to members.
We understand that the Williams Fund assumes a major responsibility in providing financial support for the Athletics Department, but the benefits that accompany donations are a bit extreme.
Not only do members get priority tickets to men's basketball games, but every other athletic event at the University as well.
ne able to come to the games except students, season ticket holders and the Williams Fund members.
Perhaps the members should be limited to a certain amount of games they can order tickets from. Another possible option is to regulate ticket sales by the size of the membership donation. For example, donations ranging from $100 to $400 should have benefits which include four priority tickets from each athletic event and so on.
The Williams Fund has such a program instituted in their group. Konzem said if a member who has purchased a ticket cannot, for any reason, attend the game, the ticket holder can contact the ticket office and they can sell back their ticket. The ticket office then sells the seats to another Williams Fund member on a waiting list.
Allowing students to sell their tickets back to the fieldhouse would be another possible option. A lot of times, unexpected conflicts arise and students who planned on attending the game cannot. Since the number of students who attend the game determines the amount of general admission seating, more last-minute tickets would be available to the public.
It is obvious that every member does not take advantage of the available tickets, otherwise no one would
The University depends on donations from groups such as the Williams Fund, but it relies on the support and the money that others contribute as well.
people who cannot afford to donate to the Williams Fund should not be penalized, and people who do donate should be thanked. One group should not receive priority over the other. Every seat in the fieldhouse will be occupied regardless of who purchased the tickets.
A happy medium must be reached to allow all patrons an equal opportunity to support KU athletics.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Can the government dictate morals?
By Maggie Koerth
Kansan staff writer
KIMBERLY THOMPSON

Stephen Egbert
1974
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 in which we will ask members of various religions a moral or religious question. We hope the answers will illuminate the differences and sometimes surprising similarities between the beliefs of different people.

Q. To what extent does the government have the right to dictate morality?
A Stephen Egbert Campus Advisor, Latter-day Saint Student Association
I frequently worry that when people speak of government passing laws on moral issues they really mean "government passing laws to restrict behavior that I don't think should be restricted." Currently these topics seem to revolve primarily around abortion, sexual behavior and drug legalization. Past issues have included Sunday closing laws,
liquor laws and numerous others.
labor laws and numerous other From my point of view, all law is grounded on someone's view of what is moral. The real question, as I see it, is not whether the government has the right to pass laws on moral issues — of course it does — but where the lines should be drawn and what stands the government should take. It certainly is true that you can't force people to be good or "moral," as our experience with Prohibition clearly demonstrates. On the other hand, I believe it is important for us, through our government, to pass laws that represent our best efforts to take principled stands on issues, even
if they are controversial.
Having said all that, however, I have to say that when push comes to shove. I will always come down on the side of favoring personal freedom and agency over unnecessarily restrictive and confining laws.
A. Shu-tang Ni

Government does have the legal right to dictate morality, but the question is to what extent and how. Nowadays, we are dealing with all types of complicated issues. For example, abortion, capital punishment . . etc. There are many ongoing arguments toward those issues in many countries.
If all human beings follow these principles, our world will be more peaceful. They are also the principles that all governments can follow in establishing laws.
If you have an idea for a Question of the Week you can contact Koerth at mkoeorth@kansan.com.
The five basic moral disciplines in Buddhism are: Not to kill, not to steal, not to engage in illicit sex, not to lie or slander, not to take drugs.
Another question here is how government can dictate morality. Education! Education is the fundamental. Here education is viewed as a broader term. Government in today's society should be the moral-education promoter instead of the punishment developer. Government must understand that all of the social problems come from three kinds of vicious thought: greed, anger and delusion. That's why we apply the five moral disciplines to deal with vicious thought. It is only through proper education that people can retrieve their own good nature by themselves.
Student Senate to pass out info at game
ByCarolineBoyer Kansan staff writer
Students waiting to get into the Kansas-Texas Tech basketball game at 3 p.m. tomorrow will be greeted by members of Student Senate handing out information on tuition for a second time.
This time the information they pass out at Allen Fieldhouse will be in the form of a newspaper, featuring some articles and editorials written by members of Senate and a tuition sound-off. Senate passed out handballs at the Kansas-Missouri basketball game last month.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5A
"We actually wanted to do a
newspaper-type handout at the Missouri game, but we didn't have time to get the funding for it approved," said Justin Mills, student body president.
"It will say 'Unfair tuition increases make me want to throw a chair,' in reference to Bobby Knight," Gilmore said. Knight, Texas Tech coach, who once threw
The handbills that student senators passed out at the Kansas-Missouri game had statistical information about tuition increases and budget cuts, Gilmore said. The outside of the newspaper for tomorrow's game will protest the unfairness of the tuition increases, while the inside will have information letting students know how to become more active in the issues concerning tuition.
Mills said Senate wanted a newspaper format so that students could hold it up at the game when the opposing team was announced. Senators plan to have an anti-Texas Tech ad on the back page, said Julia Gilmore, community affairs director for Senate.
"I know I was really curious about what the handbills were," Marchin said. "If it's a whole paper, I don't know if students will read all of it, but I think they'll look at it."
a chair out onto the court to show his displeasure with referees.
Madelaine Marchin, Manhattan sophomore, said she didn't know whether the newspapers would draw students' attention
Senate is using money from its printing budget to pay for the papers. Gilmore said she had arranged for the presses of the Lawrence Journal-World to print 1,000 papers for about $500.
Senate will begin passing the papers out around 12:30 p.m.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger?
LOSANGELES—The bigguy from Austria likes the sound of California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Pumping political iron will have to wait awhile, though, while the actor revises roles as the world's favorite cyborg from the future and a family-man superspers.
The Associated Press
A Republican booster and organizer for inner-city youth programs, Schwarzenegger said he considered running for governor this year but put his political career on hold to play some politics with "Collateral Damage," fielding questions about the propriety of releasing another of his violent thrillers given the war on terrorism. In "Collateral Damage," Schwarzenegger plays a Los Angeles firefighter seeking
vengeance against the Colombian terrorist whose bomb killed the hero's wife and son.
The movie had been scheduled for release in October, but Warner Bros. postponed it after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
"I don't see the Sept. 11 situation as, 'OK, now I should pull back on violence,'" Schwarzenegger said, "Because the world is the way it is. Part of the world is violence, and it always will be."
Schwarzenegger remains politically active, however, pushing an initiative he hopes to have on the California ballot this fall to budget $550 million in state money for after-school programs.
A run for governor is at least four years away, though.
"That's the great thing about this country, that as a foreigner,
"I don't see the
"I don't see the Sept. 11 situation as, 'OK, now I should pull back on violence'. Because the world is the way it is. Part of the world is violence, and it always will be."
Arnold Schwarzenegger
actor
'Mr. Schwarzen-Schnitzel," he said with a laugh, "I can come here and say, 'Maybe some day I'm going to run this state.' It's a big state. Then we can buy Austria."

Worm study may help kidney patients
By Mike Gilligan Kansan staff writer
A small roundworm might make all the difference in saving the lives of people with kidney disease.
Matthew Buechner, assistant professor of molecular biosciences, is studying the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans to learn more about polycystic kidney disease, or PKD.
Buechner is studying proteins found in the worms that may prevent PKD.
"It's a horrible disease," he said. "It affects over a million Americans and is more common than cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy combined."
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
"The swelling takes years, so people get the disease but they don't know they have it until years later," Buechner said.
People who have PKD have a genetic mutation that produces a faulty protein. The protein causes the blood-filtering tubes in the kidney to swell into fluid-filled cysts and eventually causes kidney failure. The only treatment is replacement of the damaged organ.
He said that normal proteins would keep the kidney's tubes from swelling up. But scientists are not sure why the mutated genes cause swelling in the kidneys of people who have the disease.
people with the roundworm C-elegans has the same mutation that causes its excretory tubes to swell, Buechner said.
These worms have only 959 cells compared to the trillions of cells in humans, making it easier to keep track of things.
he said.
"The great thing about worms is they're great for doing genetics because they're simple," Buechner said.

days, so scientists can see what occurs over the life span of a worm quickly, he said.
RUSHAEL LEGNARDKANS
"If you want to look for the rare mutation,you need to look at large numbers of animals," Buechner said. "The worms have as many as 250 babies each generation."
Buechner said studying the proteins that worms and humans share in common was important for learning more about PKD.
"The proteins that work correctly must send a signal to make the tube wider or scrunch down as necessary," Buechner said. "If we can find out what this signal is, we might be able to replicate the signal."
Replicating the signal might be done by sending a chemical to the protein in the form of a pharmaceutical drug.
Matthew Buechner, assistant professor of molecular biosciences, peers at roundworms through a microscope. Buechner is researching certain proteins in these worms that may help cure human diseases.
"So maybe you'd be able to give people a dose of this drug once a month and cause all of their tubes to shrink down," Buechner said.
"You need to look at simple models and some more complex models like mice and people,"
The solution is a long way off, he said, and it's hard to predict a time frame.
Buechner said. "There are lots of similarities between organisms, but lots of differences, too."
Nancy Cohen, postdoctoral research associate in the molecular biosciences department, said she was excited about the work she was doing with Buechner.
study these interesting organisms," Cohen said. "And the results we come up with will eventually be applied to curing a disease."

lar Wireless. She said she sometimes had to pay a $5 fee for roaring charges when she called from outside the Kansas City area.
The Better Business Bureau's Web site, www.bbb.org, warned consumers to make sure they understand fees for cell phone use. The bureau advises consumers to read cell phone contracts carefully and understand roaming, long distance and overtime charges.
Cheryl Bini, public relations manager for Verizon Wireless in St. Louis, said switching to cellular service had advantages for college students
"For people who live with roommates who don't want to share the phone bill or want to talk longer, it's perfect," she said.

Jonna Bredemeier, analyst for the Higuchi Biosciences Center at the University of Kansas, said she was glad that she canceled her home phone service.
"I never had less than a $50 phone bill from Southwestern Bell for local calls," Bredemeier said. "I always used a phone card for long distance and that cost me even more."
Bini said that students could keep the same phone number when they switched apartments or went home for break.

ate it." Harris said.
The association also distributed a survey to fine arts students about the closing of the "Common Shop" on weekends and other changes in the Art and Design Building.
Brantman said the responses would help the association decide what it would fight to save from budget cuts.
The group members said
they thought part of the school's budget problem was the lack of an endowment fund and alumni contributions.
"We don't have a solid group like business does, who can sit together and cough up money." Brantman said. "We go through our four or five years of education completely separate from painting students and graphic students and all the others, and that's why we don't have a very solid alumni base."
Montgomery and two student senators have scheduled a meeting with students at 5:30 p.m. tuesday at 150 Murphy Hall. They will discuss how the money from the proposed tuition should be spent.

Glover finished the set of poems with "Let America be America Again," after which the audience gave a standing ovation.
After the readings, Glover opened the floor to questions from the audience and delved into issues of world poverty and race relations after Sept. 11. Glover said that the events of Sept. 11 had not brought Americans closer to dealing with real issues such as the death
penalty.
"I don't think Sept. 11 brought us closer to that reality." Glovers said. "What it has done is provide us with an enormous challenge."
Glover said that challenge was for people to listen and hear what was happening in their communities.
Mame Selbee, a graduate student from Senegal, said that learning about Glover's views on issues enhanced his performance of Hughes' work.
"It made poetry very accessible to the public."
she said.
Along with his work in movies such as Beloved and Lethal Weapon, Glover is active in social causes ranging from ending capital punishment to striving for better schools
The event was sponsored by Student Senate and was dedicated to the memory of Shyra McGee, a student senator who was killed in a car accident last February.

Infamous coach gives answers in fake talk
Editor's note: Andy Samuelson did not actually interview coach Bobby Knight. The following is a fictitious interview with the colorful, controversial coach, conducted in Andy's mind for your enjoyment. However, at one time or another, Knight has actually said everything presented here. Some quotes are from Bob Feinstien's book, A Season on the Brink, others are from Knight's own book, His Own Man, some are from Sports Illustrated and others are from past press conferences.
I recently had the privilege — in my mind — of talking with Texas Tech's legendary coach Bob Knight. The always colorful Knight, reflected on his whirlwind season on the plains of West Texas and tomorrow's game.
**Andy:** Hey, what's up. Knight? (Oh,
gosh coach, er, I mean Mr. Knight, I didn't
mean to say that).
Bobby: Son, my name is not Knight to you. It's coach Knight or Mr. Knight. I don't call people by their last name, and neither should you.
Andy: Sorry coach Knight, it'll never happen again. I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to answer a few questions with a lowly college journalist before the big game tomorrow.
Bobby: Would it help you if I went back out, and came back in walking on my hands or something?
Andy: That's a good one, but I could've swore I've heard it before.
Bobby: You're no more prepared for this than the Bank of America is to lend money to the penguins. So ask your question.
Andy: You've had a really successful season in your first year at Texas Tech. But do you think you've faced a team the caliber of Kansas?
Bobby: Your biggest opponent isn't the other guy. It's human nature.
Andy: Yeah, sure, coach Knight, but e'mon, the Jayhawks are on a roll right now. They are 9-0 in the Big 12 Conference and it looks like there is some real NBA talent on this team.
**Bobby:** Hell, I don't even watch the pros.
If the NBA was on Channel 5 and a bunch of frogs making love were on Channel 4, I'd watch the frogs—even if they came in fuzzy.
Andy: OK, but doesn't it help your team to have a big conference challenge in February?
Bobby: I've had all the challenges I need in my lifetime. I'd rather play against a really bad team.
Andy: Slow down there Bob, er, coach Knight. You still have Baylor twice and a game left with the Aggies. But seriously, while you've had success against Kansas in the past, you've only won one game in the last seven meetings against the Jayhawks.
Andy: Well, let's switch subjects. Does the Allen Fieldhouse maintenance crew need to chain the chairs together? Do you anticipate any of your famous antics?
Bobby: If you're a coach you're going to get your ass beat now and then.
Bobby: What a b----s--- question. You can think of a better question than that.
Andy: Well coach Knight our time is about up. I would just like to thank you for this opportunity and hope I conducted myself as a professional.
Bobby: I'd like to refer to this whole thing as a real Mickey Mouse operation, but that would be an insult to Mickey Mouse.
Andy: Sorry, we can't all be Jeremy Schaap. Well, thanks anyway for your time.
Bobby: All of us learn to write in second grade, and most of us go on to better things.
Samuelson is a Wichita senior in journalism.
Knight gets respect
Williams develops camaraderie with Texas Tech coach
By Doug Pacey
Kansan sportswriter
Roy Williams remembers the night before a game in December, 1993 when Bob Knight's Indiana Hoosiers were in Lawrence.
Kansas' coach showed up at Knight's hotel bearing a platter of brownies that his wife, Wanda, had baked for Knight. After Williams gave the much-maligned coach the desserts, Knight had just one thing to say.
"He wanted to know where the blankety-blank ice cream was," Williams joked.
Over the years, Williams and Knight have become friends because of the respect that Williams has for Knight. It's well known that Williams learned most of what he knows about coaching from mentor Dean Smith, but he acquired skills from studying Knight, too.
"If there was another coach that I've stolen things from and imitated, it would be coach Knight," he said. "That is respect, to say the least, and I genuinely like the guy."
After Williams' first season as the Jayhawks' coach, he bumped into Knight at the Final Four in Seattle.
"He just said, 'I want you to know I've enjoyed watching your team this year. You're doing things the right way,'" Williams said. "As a young coach in his first year out, it meant a great deal to me."

Big crowds nothing new for Tech
Team faces obstacles on road,but finds success at home
By Brent Wasko
Kansan sportswriter
As fans around the Big 12 Conference have come out to see Texas Tech coach Bobby Knight, his team has become used to sold-out venues full of raucous fans.
That experience could come in handy when No. 24 Texas Tech faces No. 2 Kansas at 3 p.m. Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.
The Red Raiders, 16-5 overall and 5-4 in the Big 12, have been solid at home. The team cruised past No.14 Oklahoma State and No.4 Oklahoma in the same week.
The victories, which were both nationally televised, caught the attention of the pollsters. Texas Tech became ranked for the first time all season.
But both the Oklahoma State and Oklahoma games were at home. When the team has left Lubbock, Texas, it has struggled. Texas Tech is just 1-3 on the road in the Big 12.
Knight said his team had strained to adjust to being a marked team, and the team had trouble playing in the spotlight game after game.
"Good teams are able to cope with things that happen during the course of a season," he said.
With the way Texas Tech has played on the road, it wouldn't seem that the Red Raiders have much of a chance to beat the Jayhawks, 20-2

Track heads to Iowa to prepare for Big 12
By Matt Norton
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas track team will compete against many of the nation's best today and tomorrow at the Iowa State Classic in Ames, Iowa.
More than 50 college teams and several of the country's finest post-collegiate clubs will arrive at the fast, 300-meter track trying to qualify for either the NCAA or the USA Track and Field
Championships in March.
For some of the younger team members, this meet will be their first real test as Jayhawks.
"I think the young guys are going to start seeing what big competition is like and learn what it takes to step up when you're challenged like this," said senior middle distance runner Brian Blachly.
Coach Stanley Redwine said the tough competition would help prepare the team for the Big 12 Conference
championships in two weeks.
"It seems like they're starting to get the competitive edge and catch on to the higher expectations we have of them this season," Redwine said.
Blachly was part of the distance medley relay that won at Iowa State last year in school-record breaking time and went on to finish sixth at the NCAA Championships, marking the beginning for a breakthrough period for Blachly.
He is now one of the Jayhawks' leading runners.
"I think last year I was surprisingly relaxed because I knew I had some great teammates behind me," Blachy said. "I think a lot of times, the first time you get in races like this, the tendency is maybe to go out really fast the first half of the race. Especially on the middle distance side of things, we've just got to stay

Second-half play unranked opponent keys to winning game
By Jessica Scott
Kansan sportswriter
For the Kansas women's basketball team, maintaining a level of intensity throughout the second half could be the key to defeating the Missouri Tigers in Columbia, Mo., tomorrow.
The Jayhawks (5-19,0-11) lost the first Border War of the season at home, 66-48, a month ago.
Kansas added another mark in the lost column Wednesday against No. 12 Iowa State. After a hard-fought first half, Kansas crumbled after the break and was outscored 45-22 in the second. Washington says that playing hard for only one half was a trend she saw in her team.
"This team can look back on a lot of games and they can see they've played pretty well against most of the teams
"Every single game, or every other game, is going to be against a nationally ranked team and that's just the reality of it all," Kansas coach Marian Washington said. "But I just really feel that we can surprise some teams if we could just stay with it a little bit more."
for 20 minutes," she said. "We just can't seem to squeeze out enough minutes to stay in ball games a little closer."
Because seven of the Jayhawks' nine remaining games are against nationally ranked opponents, a road game against the unranked Tigers (13-7, 4-5 Big 12 Conference) seems like a relief for the Kansas women's basketball team.
The Jayhawks' two leading scorers have been inconsistent offensively in the past three games. Senior K.C. Hilgenkamp, who has a team-best 12.3 points per game, hit her first two shots against the Cyclones, but took just two shots in the second half. Senior Selena Scott, after scoring 20 points against Oklahoma, made just one of 11 shots

Andy Samuelson asamuelson@kansan.com
Infamous coach gives answers in fake talk
Editor's note: Andy Samuelson did not actually interview coach Bobby Knight. The following is a fictitious interview with the colorful, controversial coach, conducted in Andy's mind for your enjoyment. However, at one time or another, Knight has actually said everything presented here. Some quotes are from Bob Feinstien's book. A Season on the Brink, others are from Knight's own book. His Own Man, some are from Sports Illustrated and others are from past press conferences.
I recently had the privilege — in my mind — of talking with Texas Tech's legendary coach Bob Knight. The always colorful Knight, reflected on his whirlwind season on the plains of West Texas and tomorrow's game.
**Andy:** Hey, what's up, Knight? (Oh,
gosh coach, er, I mean Mr. Knight, I didn't
mean to say that).
Bobby: Son, my name is not Knight to you. It's coach Knight or Mr. Knight.I don't call people by their last name, and neither should you.
Andy: Sorry coach Knight, it'll never happen again. I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to answer a few questions with a lowly college journalist before the big game tomorrow.
Bobby: Would it help you if I went back out, and came back in walking on my hands or something?
Andy: That's a good one, but I could've swore I've heard it before.
Bobby: You're no more prepared for this than the Bank of America is to lend money to the penguins. So ask your question.
Andy: You've had a really successful season in your first year at Texas Tech. But do you think you've faced a team the caliber of Kansas?
Bobby: Your biggest opponent isn't the other guy. It's human nature.
Andy: Yeah, sure, coach Knight, but e'mon, the Jayhawks are on a roll right now. They are 9-0 in the Big 12 Conference and it looks like there is some real NBA talent on this team.
Bobby: Hell, I don't even watch the pros. If the NBA was on Channel 5 and a bunch of frogs making love were on Channel 4, I'd watch the frogs—even if they came in fuzzy.
Andy: OK, but doesn't it help your team to have a big conference challenge in February?
Bobby: I've had all the challenges I need in my lifetime. I'd rather play against a really bad team.
Andy: Slow down there Bob, er, coach Knight. You still have Baylor twice and a game left with the Aggies. But seriously, while you've had success against Kansas in the past, you've only won one game in the last seven meetings against the Jayhawks.
Bobby: If you're a coach you're going to get your ass beat now and then.
Andy: Well, let's switch subjects. Does the Allen Fieldhouse maintenance crew need to chain the chairs together? Do you anticipate any of your famous antics?
Bobby: What a b---s--- question. You can think of a better question than that.
Andy: Well coach Knight our time is about up. I would just like to thank you for this opportunity and hope I conducted myself as a professional.
Bobby: I'd like to refer to this whole thing as a real Mickey Mouse operation, but that would be an insult to Mickey Mouse.
Andy: Sorry, we can't all be Jeremy Schaap. Well, thanks anyway for your time.
Bobby: All of us learn to write in second grade, and most of us go on to better things.

Knight gets respect
Williams develops camaraderie with Texas Tech coach
By Doug Pacey Kansan sportswriter
Roy Williams remembers the night before a game in December, 1993 when Bob Knight's Indiana Hoosiers were in Lawrence.
Kansas' coach showed up at Knight's hotel bearing a platter of brownies that his wife, Wanda, had baked for Knight. After Williams gave the much-maligned coach the desserts, Knight had just one thing to say.

"He wanted to know where the blankety-blank ice cream was," Williams joked.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Over the years, Williams and Knight have become friends because of the respect that Williams has for Knight. It's well known that Williams learned most of what he knows about coaching from mentor Dean Smith, but he acquired skills from studying Knight, too.
If there was another coach that I've stolen things from and imitated, it would be coach Knight," he said. That is respect, to say the least, and I genuinely like the guy."
After Williams' first season as the Jayhawks' coach, he bumped into Knight at the Final Four in Seattle.
“He just said, 'I want you to know I've enjoyed watching your team this year. You're doing things the right way,'” Williams said. “As a young coach in his first year out, it meant a great deal to me.”
The two have coached against each other six times, twice in the NCAA Tournament, and Williams

Big crowds nothing new for Tech
Team faces obstacles on road,but finds success at home
By Brent Wasko Kansan sportswriter
As fans around the Big 12 Conference have come out to see Texas Tech coach Bobby Knight, his team has become used to sold-out venues full of raucous fans.
That experience could come in handy when No.24 Texas Tech faces No.2 Kansas at 3 p.m. Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.
The Red Raiders, 16-5 overall and 5-4 in the Big 12, have been solid at home. The team cruised past No.14 Oklahoma State and No.4 Oklahoma in the same week.
The victories, which were both nationally televised, caught the attention of the pollsters. Texas Tech became ranked for the first time all season.
But both the Oklahoma State and Oklahoma games were at home. When the team has left Lubbock, Texas, it has struggled. Texas Tech is just 1-3 on the road in the Big 12.
Knight said his team had strained to adjust to being a marked team, and the team had trouble playing in the spotlight game after game.
"Good teams are able to cope with things that happen during the course of a season," he said.
With the way Texas Tech has played on the road, it wouldn't seem that the Red Raiders have much of a chance to beat the Jayhawks. 20-2

Track heads to Iowa to prepare for Big 12
By Matt Norton
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas track team will compete against many of the nation's best today and tomorrow at the Iowa State Classic in Ames, Iowa.
More than 50 college teams and several of the country's finest post-collegiate clubs will arrive at the fast,300-meter track trying to qualify for either the NCAA or the USA Track and Field
Championships in March.
For some of the younger team members, this meet will be their first real test as Jayhawks.
"I think the young guys are going to start seeing what big competition is like and learn what it takes to step up when you're challenged like this," said senior middle distance runner Brian Blachly.
Coach Stanley Redwine said the tough competition would help prepare the team for the Big 12 Conference
championships in two weeks.
"It seems like they're starting to get the competitive edge and catch on to the higher expectations we have of them this season," Redwine said.
Blachly was part of the distance medley relay that won at Iowa State last year in school-record breaking time and went on to finish sixth at the NCAA Championships, marking the beginning for a breakthrough period for Blachly.
He is now one of the Jayhawks' leading runners.
"I think last year I was surprisingly relaxed because I knew I had some great teammates behind me," Blachly said. "I think a lot of times, the first time you get in races like this, the tendency is maybe to go out really fast the first half of the race. Especially on the middle distance side of things, we've just got to stay

Second-half play, unranked opponent keys to winning game
By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter
For the Kansas women's basketball team, maintaining a level of intensity throughout the second half could be the key to defeating the Missouri Tigers in Columbia, Mo., tomorrow.
The Jayhawks (5-19, 0-11) lost the first Border War of the season at home, 66-48, a month ago.
Kansas added another mark in the lost column Wednesday against No.12 Iowa State. After a hard-fought first half, Kansas crumbled after the break and was outscored 45-22 in the second. Washington says that playing hard for only one half was a trend she saw in her team.
"This team can look back on a lot of games and they can see they've played pretty well against most of the teams
for 20 minutes," she said. "We just can't seem to squeeze out enough minutes to stay in ball games a little closer."
"Every single game, or every other game, is going to be against a nationally ranked team and that's just the reality of it all," Kansas coach Marian Washington said. "But I just really feel that we can surprise some teams if we could just stay with it a little bit more."
Because seven of the Jayhawks' nine remaining games are against nationally ranked opponents, a road game against the unranked Tigers (13-7, 4-5 Big 12 Conference) seems like a relief for the Kansas women's basketball team.
The Jayhawks' two leading scorers have been inconsistent offensively in the past three games. Senior K.C. Hilgenkamp, who has a team-best 12.3 points per game, hit her first two shots against the Cyclones, but took just two shots in the second half. Senior Selena Scott, after scoring 20 points against Oklahoma, made just 1 of 11 shots

HOROSCOPES
救生员
Today's Birthday (Feb. 8). Start by reviewing your notes on research you've already done. That will be the foundation for you to build upon. Fantasies are great, but this year's practical, common sense reality you're after.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7. It's time for your big report. You get to explain what you've done and why. It could be to reporters because of your heroic deeds or to a potential new employer as you apply for a better job. Be confident, accurate and thorough, but not arrogant, and you'll do fine.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 6. You can find the right words to express your concerns, but should you utter them? Maybe not. If you suspect that an influential person isn't interested, you're right. No point in talking to a brick wall. Wait for a better time.
*usemini*(May 21-June 21). Today is a 7. You'd like to run and play, but that's not a good idea. Do the calculations instead. Run the numbers. What will you need? What do you have? It's good for you to know.
Cancer(June 22-July 22). Today is a 6. You might have thought you were all alone. You know now that you were wrong. A person who isn't afraid of hard work is willing to lend a hand. Together, even the toughest job will be almost fun.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22). Today is an 8. Take a few moments to get your house in order. You may soon want to entertain a very special person. Get as much paperwork done as you can, too. Don't leave any loose ends.
Virgo (Aug.23-Sept.22). Today is a 7. Make extra time to relax with a special person. Share a meal and talk about what you've been through. You'll get some practical advice and a well-earned hug or two.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 6. Draw upon your own experience or somebody else's to get through a difficult situation. It's all about being stubborn, never giving up and not taking no for an answer.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 6. You have to crunch the numbers. How much will it cost? How much will you get? Look hard for hidden expenses. They're in there.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 7. Money is still on your mind, as it should be. You could make or lose a lot in the next few days. Don't gamble. Base your decisions on experience, and achieve a dream.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 7. You still have a lot on your mind, so it's hard to be objective. That's where your practical friend comes in. Set priorities together. Some of the things you're concerned about can wait. Get help deciding which ones
O
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 7. Information you've been trying to find suddenly becomes available. Somebody stopped giving you the runaround. Gather up as much as you can before this window of opportunity slams shut.

Kansas swimmers gear up to take on Iowa, Iowa State

By All Brox Kansan sportswriter
With its final home meet behind them, the Kansas swimming and diving team is focusing on peaking at the right time.
Kansas has a dual meet against Iowa today in Iowa City, Iowa, and then heads to Ames, Iowa, tomorrow for a dual meet against Iowa State.
The Jayhawks are coming off of two home victories against Nebraska and Arkansas and appear to be heading in the right direction after a loss to Texas A&M less than a month ago.
"We can take the improvement from a couple weeks ago when we had our hard loss against A&M," coach Cathy Burgess said. "We improved against Nebraska and now we've really stepped up time-wise. We've gotten faster."
The Jayhawks take a 7-2 record into this weekend's meets, which will be their final tune-ups before the Big 12 Conference championships, which are coming up in less than three weeks.
In an endurance sport such as swimming, athletes taper, or lessen the intensity of their workouts, when nearing the end of the season. Taping allows the body to achieve maximum recovery prior to a major meet or competition.
Burgess said that despite the easier workouts, the win against Arkansas was an indication that
"We improved to Nebraska and now we've really stepped up time-wise. We've gotten faster."
Cathy Burgess swim team coach
the Jayhawks' performances were improving as they neared the end of the season.
"We have less than three weeks until our Big 12 Championship," Burgess said. "Swimming is geared toward the final meet. That's why we taper. This was a great team meet for them to experience going into the final meets. Whether or not they were at their seasonal bests, team-wise they're right on target."
The Jayhawks hope the meets in Iowa will help with building confidence.
"Next we have Iowa and Iowa State, which are both good teams," senior Carolyn Horwitz said. "But it's really good to hit a high note right before conference to build up your confidence and to go in there knowing we can contend with all the big names in the Big 12 Conference."

Five Arizona natives looking forward to trip, seeing family facing five teams in bowl
Bv Ali Brox
For freshman Lindsey Weinstein, traveling to Arizona means she is closer to her family in California.
"I'm so excited for my parents to come watch me play." Weinstein said. "That's one of the hardest things, to know this season that they're not going to be at every game."
Kansan sportswriter
"Mostly we're excited to get started," Wright said. "Especially for the seniors and especially for the freshmen who have never been in a jayhawk uniform during the regular season. It's nice for our parents who have been there since we were little cheering us on. For our last year to be able to see us play close to home is probably pretty nice."
The warmth of Arizona in the dead of winter sounds enticing, but for five players on the Kansas softball team, Arizona isn't just appealing — it's home.
When the Jayhawks travel to Phoenix, Ariz. this weekend for the Fiesta Bowl Classic, freshman Kara Pierce, junior Kirsten Milhoan and seniors Courtney Wright and Christi and Shelly Musser, who are twins, will get to play in front of friends and family.
The trip won't only be about visiting family. The Jayhawks play five games in three days, a feat coach Tracy Bunge compares to the schedule of the Kansas men's basketball team.
"I know Roy talks about his three ranked teams in seven days." Bunge said. "We open up with four ranked teams in 48 hours. So it's not going to be an easy start for us, but we're looking forward to getting some warm weather and getting to Phoenix."
Kansas faces No. 24 Massachusetts today at 11 a.m. In their second game of the day, the Jayhawks get a shot at No. 5 California at 5:30 p.m.
Kansas will have back-to-back games against Utah State and No.17 Southwest Texas State tomorrow.
The Jayhawks finish the tournament with a 10 a.m. game on Sunday against No.8 Arizona State in the Sun Devils' home venue.
This is the second time in three years that Kansas has played in the Fiesta Bowl Classic.
The Jayhawks went 1-4 in the tournament in 2000.
After the tournament, the Jayhawks will play at least four more teams during the next few weeks that were ranked or received votes in the National Fastpitch Coaches Association's Preseason Top 25 poll.

relaxed and focused at the end of the race."
Assistant coach Doug Clark said he had spent some time this week talking to the younger distance runners about trying to control their emotions going into the meet. He also gave them an easier week of practice this week with the hope of producing some fast times this weekend.
Contact Brox at abrox@kansan.com. This story was edited by Brooke Hesler.
Assistant coach Milan Donley said the long jumpers and triple jumpers hadn't begun to back off training and wouldn't until later next week.
Junior Benaud Shirley ranks second in the conference in the triple jump, and freshman Brooklyn Hann is second all-time at Kansas and third in the Big 12 in the triple jump, just four centimeters behind the NCAA provisional mark.
"They're really sore right now, maybe more sore than I would have liked," Donley said of the jumpers after this week's training. "I'll start giving them some rest in time for the Big 12 Championships."

Kansas faces Tulsa; both teams undefeated
Coming off of a 5-2, season-opening victory against Wichita State last Saturday, the Kansas tennis team has a tough test this weekend in its attempt to stay undefeated.
The Jayhawks will play the Tulsa Golden Hurricane at 2 p.m. tomorrow at Alvamar Racquet Club.
Tula, 5-0, had four singles players and one doubles team ranked in the preseason Top 25 Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings.
In the most recent team rankings, the Golden Hurricane is 51st—two spots ahead of Kansas.
The two paired for a No.2 doubles victory against the Shockers and both won their singles matches.
Kansas freshman Paige Brown and sophomore Emily Haylock will be trying to maintain their unblemished record.
Freshman Aurelia Bejar is also 2-0 overall for the Jayhawks.

NBA BASKETBALL Arthritis causes O'Neal to miss NBA All-Star game
LOS ANGELES — Shaquille O'Neal will sit out the NBA All-Star game because of arthritis in his right big toe.
O'Neal, who missed the Los Angeles Lakers' loss to the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night, was replaced on the Western Conference team by Elton Brand of the Los Angeles Clippers.
Brand, in his third year in the league, will be making his first All-Star appearance. He's also the first Clippers player in the All-Star game since Danny Manning in 1994.
O'Neal missed last year's All-Star game with an inflamed arch on his right foot.
He received the second-most votes of any player,1,247,438,in fan balloting for this year's game, which is Sunday in Philadelphia.

Despite Kansas' lackluster record, the Missouri women's basketball team hopes to draw a record crowd to tomorrow's game in Columbia, Mo.
Tomorrow's 3 p.m. test between Kansas and Missouri has been dubbed "Head-to-the-Hearnes" day. The Tigers are combining tickets with lots of marketing in hope of breaking their single-game attendance record of 10,126—a mark that was set in last year's game against the Lajahaws at the Hearnes Center.
"We need to play like we did last time against Kansas," said Tiger senior guard Natalie Bright. "It's
our rival, so it's going to be all-out."
Missouri (13-8 overall, 4-6 in Big 12 Conference play) soundly defeated the Jayhawks 66-48 in Lawrence on Jan. 12, behind a 27-point effort from Bright. Since then, the Tigers are just 2-5, and like the Jayhawks, seem to be overwhelmed by the powerful Big 12 Conference.
"At this point, we know we need wins," said Tiger junior guard Kerensa Barr, who leads the team with 15.6 points per game. "Even if we don't win the rest of our games, I think we'll still have a shot to make the tournament."
Coming off of a 79-61 loss to Kansas State on Tuesday, the Tigers hope to rebound and get an always-important conference victory against their biggest rival.
Washington said she was pushing the seniors to help the team through this 11-game losing streak.
"We've talked about the second half and I'm going to really put the challenge on the seniors." Washington said. "Somebody's got to really step up and, if we're in the ballgame in the first half, hopefully we can perform a lot better in the second half."
Note
Scott said she thought her team would eventually make waves in the Big 12.
"We have to get back to what works for us," said Bright. "That's working together and our defense."
Freshman guard Blair Waltz, who's averaged 5.7 points per game despite a nagging foot injury, was a former teammate of two current Missouri players — junior forward Wannette Smith and sophomore guard Tracy Lozier. Together, the three led Blue Valley North to a state championship in 1998. Waltz and Lozier led the Mustangs to another title in 2000.

williams has been vocal about not wanting to coach against friends and former assistants because someone always left the court upset, he said.
But Williams said he was glad to coach in games against Knight if it meant Knight was still involved in college basketball.
"I hated to see a true coaching giant finish like that," Williams said.
Williams said he did not agree with the reasons and the way Knight was fired by Indiana two years ago.
"Saying that, I was really ecstatic that he was back into coaching. I thought it would be great for our league, great for him personally, that he would be
recharged and refreshed.
"I'm not trying to act like I'm his bosom buddy. He doesn't take me fishing and I don't take him to golf trips and things like that, but the respect thing is as high as it possibly can be."
Drew Gooden was on Jim Rome's national radio show yesterday afternoon and gave a hint about what he might do after this season.
Note:
The junior forward said it was "high possibility" that he wouldn't return for his senior season, but the decision was a "high priority."

He also is a strong rebounder, grabbing seven boards a game.
Kansas coach Roy Williams said he was more worried about the Red Raiders' defense.

ISSUE 90 VOLUME 112
Students say mix-ups cause unpaid tuition, disenrollment
By Maggie Koerth Kansan staff writer
About 450 students were dropped from their classes last Tuesday because they didn't pay tuition on time, according to the registrar's office. Several of those students said miscommunication with the University of Kansas was to blame.
John Tyburski, Lecompton graduate student, said he missed his payment deadline and ended up having to petition to re-enroll. He also had to pay a $100 late fee.
Diane Goddard, comptroller, said that if students weren't receiving bills it was likely because the students hadn't updating their billing addresses.
Tyburski missed his fall enrollment and went to late enrollment last month instead. He said he'd done that before.
That wasn't the only miscommunication Tyburski said he encountered. He assumed the cashier windows at Carruth-O'Leary would be open from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m., like most offices on campus. But the windows are open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. He also said the cashiers told him he would have to wait until Friday to begin the re-enrollment process. He later found out that it was best to get it done sooner.
"I blame it on being a graduate student. Normally, I go to late enrollment and they mail me a bill, and I pay it," Tuburski said.
This time Tyburski received no bill in the mail. Because of this, he didn't realize when the payment deadline was until he glanced at his schedule Wednesday.
"If they are going to drop you, they should at least be able to tell you what to do."Tyburski said.
Dana Goble, associate comptroller, said there had been a lot of confusion about cashier hours this year because the hours hadn't been printed in the timetable like they normally were.
"I assume it happened when the registrar's office changed the timetable format," she said. "We've made sure it'll be fixed in the next timetable."
Goble said the cashiers closed at 4 p.m. so they had time to balance their drawers.
Goddard said this semester was odd because students normally waited much longer before they could re-enroll.
Goddard said the cashiers were trying to help when they told people to wait.
"You can't re-enroll until you've been dropped and it usually takes a long time to drop because it's done one person at a time." she said.
Other students also experienced confusion.
Both Brian North, Overland Park senior, and Cliff Fowles, Assaria sophomore, said they had problems getting Academic Management Services and the University to share the correct information.
AMS is a service that allows students to pay their tuition in installments instead of one lump sum. North and Fowles said KU had either lost or never received record of their payments to AMS. North nearly got dropped from his classes because of the mix-up and Fowles did.
"The lady I talked to said things like this happen a lot." Fowles said.
Laura Newell, AMS representative, said if there was a problem it was likely caused by students not getting the paperwork in on time.
"We send info to the university as we get it," she said. "They can check it online every hour if they want to."
Goddard said students who were dropped because of problems with AMS needed to get in contact with the comprotiler's office.

With 105 Merit Scholars, University in top 10 again
By Mike Gilligan Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas is ranked in the top 10 public universities in enrolling National Merit Scholars for the third year in a row.
The University is ranked No.10, with 105 National Merit Scholars enrolled this year, according to University Relations.
Each year since 1999 the University has enrolled more than 100 National Merit Scholars.
The National Merit Scholarship is widely considered the most prestigious
award for graduating high school seniors. According to the National Merit Scholarship Web site, only 8,000 of the 1.2 million students competing for the award receive the scholarship. Students are selected by their PSAT scores and academic achievement.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway said he was pleased with being ranked in the top 10.
"It says something about the academic value of KU," Hemenway said. "The standards are very high as a consequence of having that many National Merit scholars so all students strive to be better."
But Hemenway said he couldn't predict whether or not the proposed budget cuts would affect the amount of scholarships the University gave out.
"All the money for the National Merit scholars comes from private funds." Hemenway said. "The number of scholars we attract should not be affected by the budget cuts."
Hemenway said he thought the number of scholars would increase next year.
Hemenway said he was not concerned that the number of National Merit Scholars decreased from last year.

Hundreds celebrate Chinese New Year
Pamela Wong, Kansas City, Mo. resident, performs a traditional Chinese fan dance as part of the Chinese New Year celebration. Over 300 people enjoyed a variety of talent from the local Chinese community last night in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
By Leah Shaffer Kansan staff writer
The Lawrence community and University of Kansas students came together last night to ring in the Year of the Horse.
Tomorrow officially begins the Chinese New Year, or the Year of the Horse, and in celebration, the Chinese Student and Scholars Friendship Association sponsored a party at the ballroom in the Kansas Union. About 300 people attended the event, which included singing, reciting poetry, games and traditional dances.
For Qinyi Cheng, a graduate student from Shanghai, this marks her first Chinese New Year away from her family. Cheng said that having the whole Chinese community members come together for the event helped her deal with home-

Chen said that the holiday originated in ancient China when people believed in a beast called "Nian" which translates to "year." People
were afraid of the beast so on New Year's Day they would use firecrackers and wear red clothing to frighten it away. Chen said that such traditions continue to this day, but the new year is now a time for family get-togethers and celebration.
Two bills seek cloning ban. KU expert doubtful
By Sarah Hill Kansan staff writer
New bills in the Kansas House of Representatives could ban some forms of cloning research in Kansas.
State Rep. Mary Pilcher Cook, R-Shawnee, introduced two bills to criminalize cloning of humans and destroying embryos to harvest stem cells.
The ban means that no research on reproductive cloning or embryonic stem cell harvesting, public or private, would be allowed in Kansas
Mary Faith Marshall, professor of medicine and specialist in bioethics at the University of Kansas Medical Center, said no cloning research was taking place at the University now, but the legislation could stop future attempts.
"Because it holds so much promise for the future, many clinical scientists will want to be able to use it," she said.
This is the second year Cook introduces bills with this purpose. Both bills are based on similar legislation introduced in the U.S. Congress. Last year, Cook added an amendment banning human cloning to a bill on state funding for research facilities. The amendment didn't pass the State Senate. But Cook said she was confi-

No place like home: Kansas grads come and go
By Warisa Chulindra
Last spring when most of her classmates were searching for jobs nearby, Amanda Tyson was determined to find a job in New York City.
By Warsi Chamhura Kansan senior staff writer
"I never wanted to stay in Kansas
because of the lack of diversity, and I wanted to live in a place where a lot of things happen," the 22-year-old Kansas native said. "No offense to Kansas, but not a lot of things happen in Kansas."
Born in Osage City, Tyson grew up in Pomona and Melvern and was valedictorian of her 21-member class at Marais
Des Cvgnes Valley High School.
She graduated from the University of Kansas last May with a social work degree and a 3.86 grade point average.
Tyson is an example of brain drain a phenomenon that involves some of the brightest college graduates seeking employment outside of Kansas.
"We talk a lot about the brain drain, and we know that it occurs," said Bill Lays, director of labor management information for the State of Kansas. "But we don't have the numbers."

Doctor saves depression led to deaths
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Kansas City man who has confessed to killing five men over four days wouldn't have done it if he hadn't been depressed, a psychiatrist testified.
Psychiatrist William Logan said Thursday that Gary Beach, 59, who is charged with first-degree murder, suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression before and during the 1999 slayings.
Logan's testimony came during pretrial arguments in which Beach's attorneys want the judge to suppress
their client's confession during his trial, scheduled to start March 11.
"How can he make a complete and knowing waiver [of his rights] when he was an incompetent human being?" defense lawyer Thomas Jacquinot asked.
Michael Hunt, assistant Jackson County prosecutor, said that Beach insisted on confessing after police read him his rights. It may be bad judgment to confess, Hunt said, "but people do it all the time."
Circuit Judge Charles E. Atwell said he would rule on the issue later this month. Atwell on Wednesday watched the videotaped confession,
in which Beach described the five killings.
Beach faces the death penalty if convicted. Defense attorneys contend that Beach's mental condition prevented him from having the "cool reflection" the law requires for first-degree murder.
Two state experts agreed with Logan that Beach suffered from the disorders when he killed the men in late March and early April 1999.
Those killed were Beach's stepson, Michael Davis, 32, Davis' friend, Mark Nelson, 28. Christopher Conrad, 27, Jerry Nickerson, 61, and Kenneth Gulley, 45.

She just can't believe that she and four other Newton residents were hauled into municipal court and fined Thursday for violating the city's mandatory recycling law.
All pleaded no contest and will be fined $25 per violation, with warnings that they face stiffer fines or possibly five days in jail if they are caught with recyclables in their trash during the next six months.
Only seven communities in Kansas require residents to recycle. All are in Harvey County, where the County Commission passed a resolution two years ago banning certain recyclables from the trash transfer station.
Senate committee proposes cuts to senior care program
TOPEKA — The Senate Ways and Means Committee reluctantly approved Thursday a proposed budget for the Department on Aging that dramatically cuts a program providing home health aides for about 7,300 older Kansans.
Targeted for the big cut is the Senior Care Act program. Financed only with state dollars, it provides aides who help seniors with chores, preparing meals and personal care, such as bathing.
Graves doesn't want to cut the program and has proposed to preserve it with part of $228 million in tax increases. But Republican committee members said they cannot assume any tax increases will pass.
But Democrats said the committee should include the extra spending,to show the entire Senate that the Senior Care Act program is a high priority.
Couple receives new letters from son held in Phillipines
ROSE HILL — Her face expressionless, Oreta Burnham silently read Thursday the eight pages of letters sent from her son and his wife, held captive for more than eight months by Muslim extremists in the Philippines.
Since the letters first surfaced at a Philippine television station a day earlier, much of their contents have been broadcast and reprinted in media outlets across the globe.
But Thursday was the first time anyone in the family had actually seen a copy of the handwritten letters, obtained for them by The Associated Press. The last letter they got from Martin and Gracia Burnham was in November, when a group of hostages were released.
One letter asks for a secure satellite phone and money to buy some personal items. It gives the names of two men who may contact them from the Abu Sayaf and the name of another man who has agreed to act as go-between for them. The couple said they have not been contacted by anyone.

Study: University excels in water conservation

A new study lists the University of Kansas main campus as one of the best schools in the nation for water conservation.
The survey, conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates, is based on responses from 891 learning institutions within the U.S. All universities were "graded" as whole on a variety of environment practices, such as recycling, transportation, energy conservation, and environmental curriculum and literacy.

KU was listed with 11 other universities as having the lowest per capita and per square foot water use in the National Wildlife Federation survey: "State of the Campus Environment: A national report card on environmental performance and sustainability in higher education."
"I think a lot of universities, they spend a lot of money watering everything to make sure it's very green and very pretty for alumni and administrators," Browning said. "For some reason, KU's managed to have a nice campus and also not use a ridiculous amount of water."
Kyle Browning, Student Senate Vice President and member of student environmental advisory board, was pleased with the results of the survey. He said KU could improve in other areas such as increased recycling.
planning, had not seen the survey results, but said the University does have a policy of advising the campus on the importance of energy conservation and water conservation.
While Victoria Silva, recycling and resource conservation manager, was pleased with the University's ranking, she didn't know it was so environmentally-conscious.
Long said the city had, at times, asked the University to cut back on water use during peak demand times in the summer. At those times, lawn sprinklers were shut off, and athletic fields and flower beds were watered less. Researchers were also encouraged to use the least amount of water that their work required.
Long said the University was looking into more ways to conserve water and energy on campus.

Lawrence is already home for more than 15 Mexican restaurants, but Ed Hernandez thinks there's room for one more.

Mexican restaurant fills Barb Wire's spot, set to open in March

Hernandez, an Overland Park resident, is the co-owner of Mexi-Kans Cocina y Cantina, the area's newest Mexican restaurant. Mexi-Kans is scheduled to open in early March.
By Lauren Beatty
Kansan staff writer
Hernandez said he came up with the restaurant's name in the mid-'80s because his father is Mexican and his mother is a Kansas native.
"Bland food is not our idea," Hernandez said. "Up and down the menu there will be definite difference. It's going to be tough to beat what we're bringing to the table."
"I wanted that to be my license plate, but it's eight letters and you can only have seven letters on a plate." Hernandez said.
"There will always be a Hernandez on the premises." he said.
He said that despite considerable competition in Lawrence, Mexi-Kans would stand out because it was family owned.
Hernandez said he's not worried about saturating the market for Mexican food in Lawrence because hungry college studnets never get tired of tacos, burritos and enchiladas.
Hernandez worked for his family's restaurant, Jalapeños, in Kansas City, Mo., for 11 years before he decided to open his own.
He said he and his co-owners were shopping for a location to open their business and fell in love with Barb Wire's old building at 2412 Iowa St.
"There are enough customers to go around and based on conversations I've had with others, they're loyal customers," Hernandez said. "And there's no shortage of employees."

Health officials caution against mixing alcohol, antidepressants
"Anytime we see students who are taking antidepressants, we caution them about using alcohol because it can cause side effects that we can't anticipate," said Myra Strother, chief of medical staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
Mixing antidepressants and alcohol can be deadly, said two University of Kansas health officials.

"He died of an overdose, which is a mixture of drugs," said Sgt. Mike Pattrick of the Lawrence Police Department.
This was the case with Nicholas Bowen, a 24-year-old Lawrence resident who died Oct.14,2001.
"We just gave him a slap on the shoulder and told him to keep drinking," Green said. "I wouldn't have told him to keep drinking if I had known that mixing antidepressants and alcohol would kill him."
"The liver can't handle both at the same time," Keeler said. "Different things can occur, such as extreme drowsiness."
She said the two substances shouldn't be combined because alcohol is a depressant.
Problems occur because antidepressants and alcohol are both processed by the liver, she said.

"The mixture causes changes in the brain and changes in judgment," Keeler said. "Through these changes, hopelessness may be reached and a person may try to attempt suicide."
Strother said that when students drink alcohol at night to relieve their troubles, they may make the stress worse the day after.

"The mixture will have a profound effect on mood, which is the opposite reaction desired for those on antidepressants," Keeler said.
She said people who take certain antidepressants should not drink alcohol at all.
"Antidepressants with alcohol can cause a rebound anxiety during the daytime," she said. "All of the stress that they were trying to drink away comes back the next day."

EDITORIAL
Housing should help students who want out
Unless you're getting married or you have a note from your doctor, getting out of a contract with the Department of Student Housing without paying the remainder of your rent is nearly impossible.
The department seems concerned only with its finances and should be more concerned about the well-being of students.
When a student with a full-year housing contract leaves KU at the end of the fall semester, the department requires students to pay 25 percent of their spring rent. This applies whether the student transfers to another school or drops out. The same 25 percent penalty applies if a student gets married — and a marriage certificate must be shown — a student cannot afford to stay or medical circumstances dictate that a student cannot remain in campus housing.
However, if a student is still enrolled at KU and wants to get out of the contract without any of these circumstances, the student must pay 100 percent of the cost of room and board for the remainder of the time specified in the contract.
A student may move to another residence hall or join a scholarship hall and be exempt from these fees. But if students want to join a fraternity or sorority, they are responsible for 100 percent of the financial obligation.
At the University of Missouri, students are allowed to "purchase out" of their contract if they pay 25 percent of it, as opposed to 100 percent at KU. It usually is about $500 to $700 a semester, depending on the student's meal plan. This is far more reasonable than requiring students to pay 100 percent of the amount specified in the contract if a student decides to move off campus or into a Greek house.
At Kansas State University, if a student who lives in a residence hall wants to join a fraternity, the student can "buy out" of the contract if they pay 40 percent of the contract, which is usually about $800.
Many fraternities at KU might help students pay for some or all of a fee to get students out of their contract if it is only $500 to $700, but 100 percent of a contract is too much money. If a student can join a scholarship hall and not be penalized, why are students financially penalized for joining a fraternity or sorority?
Molly Mueller for the editorial board.
If a student would be happier living somewhere else at KU, the University should try to help, instead of hindering the process by only making exceptions for a few circumstances. Shouldn't the students' best interest also be the University's best interest?
Graham Heaven, former Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity president, said it was difficult for fraternities to recruit new members because if a potential pledge lives in campus housing, he often can't move into the chapter house until his contract expires.
If students want to become more involved on campus by joining a fraternity and are not comfortable in their current housing situation, KU should not be so rigid compared to other Big 12 universities about letting students buy out of their contracts.

PERSPECTIVE
Smokers don't need governor to save them from themselves
Kansas Senate Bill No. 450 is in committee discussion in Topeka. If passed, it would increase the current 24-cent tax on cigarettes by 65 cents per pack beginning in June. Gov. Bill Graves announced his support of the bill as a positive way to raise money for state programs and discourage smoking.
The War on Drugs is the governmental equivalent of Yoko Ono. They're both worthless and un-American, yet they've been around for years, and they still get money for new ventures and television appearances. For now, the War on terrorism has eclipsed the War on Drugs.
COMMENTARY
The new Bush strategy is to let the War on Drugs (Yoko) ride the coattails of the War on Terrorism (The Beatles) in the hope that the latter's popularity and success will somehow spill over into the former's ineffectiveness and unpopularity.
The righteousness that it takes to further increase this tax seems to be lost on Graves. In fact, he assures us that aside from raising revenues that The Kansas CityStar reports to be $111 million, the sin tax also "sends a clear signal about how we feel about cigarette smoking."
So as long as the Drug War has not been put out of its misery, Graves is expanding the war to include legal pleasures — namely, smoking.

Bradley E. Freedman opinion@kansan.com
Q: Who is "we"?
The government's duties have expanded from the protection of its citizens from any enemy, foreign and domestic. Now, the government seeks to protect us from ourselves through taxation. Why, for instance, increase the sales tax (4.9 percent) when you can simply tax smokers? If the bill passes, the total tax would be 89 cents per cigarette pack.
A: Apparently "we" includes only the governor and his 6-year old daughter, Katie.
The manipulative hope of the bill's proponents is that whenever a pack is sold, it'll give money to the state, and whenever a pack goes unsold because of its high cost, someone will be saved from the
The Legislature has no business passing judgment on smokers, sending signals about how it feels about smoking, nor using smokers as their dirty little money makers.
harms of smoking.
Perhaps I can offer some advice to smokers on what action to take.
Q: If Bill 450 passes, should I steal cigarettes?
Q: Won't that keep money from going to the state?
Q: Would it be better if I went to Missouri to buy cigarettes?
A: Yes.
Q: Can I also write to my local representative and ask him not to support the tax?
A: Yeah. I guess so.
As generous as that proposition is, I, for one, do not want the government to save me from myself. If Kansas needs money, tax us all. We'll pay. Smokers and non-smokers alike want to help education funding in Kansas. But to single out one group to ease the financial burden of nonsmokers is disgusting.
This sin tax should outrage all citizens, regardless of whether they smoke. Graves means to put financial chains on anyone who engages in the legal activity of buying cigarettes. As kind as that is, we'd all be much better off without that sort of kindness.

PERSPECTIVE
Housing ordinance violates right to privacy
Young adults come to college to get out of their parents' house and gain independence.
Finding a place to live as a college student can be hard enough. Money is tight and compatible roommates are hard to find. Throw in one big city ordinance that states that no more than three unrelated people can live in a house zoned for single families and things gets trickler.
That is, unless you rent a house in a single-family zone from a Lawrence landlord who has to register his or her property with the city.
The city mandates surprise visits from inspectors to see if renters are violating zoning rules.The city has taken it upon itself to act as a parent to college students by intruding in their personal lives.
Inspections by Lawrence zoning enforcement officers, such as the one Joe Lonnberg, Dodge City senior, experienced two weeks ago, are a clear violation of privacy.
Passing a law stating how many unrelated people can live in one place and where is one thing. Counting cars and inquiring how many times one's significant other stays the night is another. What is this, an F.B.I. stakeout?
COMMENTARY
There are certain justifiable rights of privacy. As adults, we are allowed to have control over our own definition of morality. Lee Smith, Lawrence zoning enforcement officer, claims that the city is not there to legislate morality, so it shouldn't matter how often renters let their girlfriends or boyfriends stay the night. Citizens should not have to worry about city inspectors

busting in when they have guests.
The ordinance — met with opposition by landlords and renters — should not have been passed in the first place.
City officials need to revise the zoning ordinance and the way it is enforced. Violating privacy rights of community members will not be tolerated. If the city is to keep and justify its unnecessary zoning law, it must find another way to ensure that residents are not violating the ordinance.
The City of Lawrence encourages KU graduates to find jobs in its local economy and spend their money in its local stores.
It is a basic right to live on one's own, enter into a lease and abide by a landlord's rules without having to worry about being watched.
We should not have to worry that our normal behavior will be questioned and persecuted. Self-respecting landlords and self-reliant renters will not stand for such as obstruction of privacy and freedom. The whole idea just seems un-American.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5A
GRADUATES
CONTINUED FROM THE FRONT PAGE.
The KU Alumni Association keeps tabs on its graduates, but records are self-reported and could be misleading. Alumni living out-of-state might have returned to their home states after obtaining their degrees in Kansas. Tracking recent graduates is also tough because they could be traveling, pursuing graduate degrees or continuing to use their permanent Kansas addresses.
Brain drain is not unique to Kansas, and many university officials say it is common for young people to want to leave their home states and explore. Better job opportunities, diversity and living in an area that offers a lot to do are some of the reasons Kansas natives are lured out of state, often to metropolitan areas such as Chicago, Dallas and Denver.
Bill Wilhelm, retired dean of the school of engineering at Wichita State University, said most graduates move in search of greater opportunity.
"By and large, the graduates go where the jobs are, where they perceive they will get the best start and where they'll get the experience." Wilhelm said.
Barbara Schowen, director of the KU Honors Program agreed.
"People go where the jobs are," she said. "A lot of KU alumni are in New York or D.C. People are going to be drained away to big government, big financial areas."
Big Apple opportunities
Tyson, a KU social welfare graduate, thought she would be able to help more people in New York City, where poverty, drugs and crime are more abundant than in Kansas.
Since moving to New York, Tyson has worked as a paralegal

for the Federal Defender Division of the Legal Aid Society. If she were working in Kansas, she would probably earn about $19,000, she said. In New York, she makes about $29,000, but cost of living is much higher, and money is often tight. A studio apartment, she says, is half the size of one in Kansas and costs $750 a month. She commutes 45 minutes from her apartment in Queens to her office in Manhattan.
Adjusting to the Big Apple took time, with all the noise, relying on public transportation and getting used to some grouchier people, she said. But the diversity of people and activities compensate.
"At any given day there's a million different things to do, and a lot of them are free." Tyson said.
Despite the high cost of living and drawbacks of big city life, Tyson likes New York City and has no intention to return to Kansas.
Back to their roots
But for some, the move is temporary.
University administrators and members of the business community say there is a trend of people moving away, but eventually returning to Kansas to be near family and to raise their own. About 25 years ago, Jim and Karen Gilpin made that very
The Gilpins are Kansas natives. Jim hails from Iola and Karen is from Oakley. They met at the University of Kansas where Jim graduated in 1972 with a business administration degree. Karen graduated the following year with a nursing degree.
Before Jim left for the military, he and his father discussed the possibility of Jim taking over the family business, Iola Bank and Trust. His father had to figure out whether anyone in the family wanted to run the bank or if he should try to sell it. Jim told his dad that he would be back.
decision.
Jim and Karen married in 1974, and they both attended the University of Boston where they earned their master's degrees. In 1976, they decided to return to Iola.
"It was an opportunity to return to my hometown and be involved in the family business," Jim said. "When I made the decision to come back, the economy looked pretty good."
The Gilpins also thought Iola was an ideal place to raise a family. Jim's mom, Helen, lives a few blocks away, and his brother also lives in town.
The Gilpins have a three-story house on Iola's Madison Avenue, which they have called home for 24 years.
The Gilpins share pride in their state and their alma mater. A KU bird feeder and a four-foot wooden sunflower sit outside.
On the kitchen table sits a vase of sunflowers. In the living room is a framed pigskin from a KU football game.
After all, this is a family of four generations of Jayhawks.
"When you live somewhere else, what you wanted to escape doesn't look so bad," Jim said. "It's one of life's paradoxes. You want that predictability and stability. The opportunities in a small town are pretty tough to beat."
to his hometown. Several people from his high school class later chose to return to Iola. Some commute within a 50-mile radius. Karen used to work at the hospital down the street from their house but now teaches at Neoho County Community College in Chanute and Ottawa. She is president of the State Board of Nursing.
Iim was not alone in returning
"For many it's coming back to family and friends," Jim said. "I know that's a problem in Kansas where there's no mountains, beaches or oceans."
The Gilpins have a daughter, Sarah, 13, and two sons. Stephen, 25, is a graphics artist in Tulsa, where he lives with his wife, Christa, and two children. Geoffrey is a KU senior.
Some KU graduates never leave their home state.
Home sweet home
Martha Peterson and Robert Burtch had planned to leave Kansas, but by the time they were ready, their daughters Erin and Sarah had already started school. They did not want to uproot their children to a big city.
The couple met while working at The El Dorado Times, their first jobs after college. She was a reporter, and he was a photographer. They had graduated from rival colleges — Peterson with honors from Kansas State and Burtch from the University of Kansas.
The couple ended up in Topeka after Peterson took a Supreme Court clerkship while attending law school at the University of Kansas. Peterson took a job with a law firm in Topeka after she graduated.
Peterson said few young graduates who took jobs with law firms in Topeka rarely stayed long, and often took jobs that offered more money in Kansas City or Dallas.
beneficial. "The kids got a good public education here," Peterson said. "I'm not sure you can say that about other states."
Erin, 22, graduated with an anthropology degree from Reed College in Portland, Ore., last May. Sarah, 24, went to school at Randolph Macon in Lynchburg, Va., but transferred to KU and graduated with an English degree. She is now studying interior design at Kansas State. Both plan to live outside of Kansas.

The couple hopes to leave Kansas when they retire. Peterson longs for Oregon and the ocean, and Burtt wants to move to New Mexico.
Peterson joked that they would move, "as soon as we can figure out how to stop paying for our two children."
Keeping Kansans
Many companies and communities use the Internet to inform people of job openings to lure native Kansans back home.
The Kansas Technology Enterprise Corp. in Topeka developed Home Again, a Web site that lists technology and engineering employment openings around the state. It also surveys companies and sends informational brochures to students at state college and universities. Mary Breakstone, KTEC director of administration, said three jobs had been filled through the Web site.
Tim Witsman, president of the Wichita Chamber of Commerce, said work force development
"It was an opportunity to return to my hometown and be involved in the family business"

was an important issue. He approached Wichita State University President Donald Beggs and proposed that the Chamber and University work together.
"I told Dr. Beggs, 'You have the students, and I have the jobs.'" he said.
The University has a job Web site, and the Chamber also has joined a national effort with its Wichita NationJob Network. Since 1995, about 25,000 Sedgwick County jobs from 390 companies have been posted on the Web site, and up to 1,000 jobs are listed daily. People also can learn about the area on the Web site.
Bill Lays, director of labor management information for the State of Kansas, said although graduates leave Kansas, the state probably receives its fair share of out-of-state graduates.
Work force development and recruitment is an issue the state is examining, he said. Computer technology, health care and math sciences are areas Lays thinks are most affected by brain drain.
States like Iowa are considering offering tax breaks to people who remain in the state after graduating. Lays said another possibility would be to offer a break on home mortgages.
Kansas has a lot to offer, even without additional financial breaks, he said.
"People raised or who have spent a majority of their lives in Kansas recognize the value of Midwest work ethic and are tired of congestion in larger cities," Lays said.
"There's tremendous potential that's not being marketed about the Midwest—low crime, quality of life issues. There's an opportunity to see that aspect of our state."

"It's the most important festival in China," she said. "People are supposed to gather in families."
Xiaolin Hu, board member of the Lawrence Chinese School, said that the New Year was the biggest holiday in China and had the equivalent amount of excitement as Christmas in the United States. The school teaches area youth Chinese culture and language on the weekends. Hu said that the festival was a good chance for the students to recite poems and learn Chinese songs.
People of other cultures participated in the event. Tony Daniels, assistant director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs was invited to speak on stage. Daniels decided he wanted to perform John Lennon's "Imagine," but he needed to recruit more singers. Olena Orzhekhouska-Yegrashkina, a Kiev, Ukraine, visiting scholar, was asked to sing with him.
"I just came here to see the Chinese New Year and now I'm going on stage," she said.

Marshall said the majority of American scientists followed a voluntary moratorium on reproductive cloning because it had been unsuccessful in animals and because there wasn't a good ethical reason to clone.
But Marshall said that she and scientists around the country, including the National Academy of Sciences worried about bans related to embryonic stem cell research. She said it was too early to determine which methods were best and questioned the timing of Cook's legislation.
"Why legislate against it?" she said. "I'm more inclined to listen to the National Academy of Sciences report on reproductive biology than a legislator from Kansas. I'm not dissing the woman, but the experts have spoken."
But Cook said that adult stem cell research was protected under the new legislation. The representative said she was involved in the issue because of a history of Huntington's disease in

Although four other universities in the top 10 are from the Big 12 Conference, Chancellor Hemenway said he didn't see a trend of only Big 12 schools trying harder to attract National Merit scholars.
"Being in the top 10 in the nation brings publicity and prestige to KU," Cerveny said. "A diploma means more when you have that many National Merit Scholars at your school."
Alan Cerveny, director of admissions, said attracting a large number of National Merit Scholars was a positive for the University.

New stalking bill proposed
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Diane wakes up each morning nagged by fear that she may encounter the man who has been an unwanted part of her life for nearly 15 years.
"I don't see it ending now, but I can't let it drive me crazy. I've got to hold on to my sanity," says Diane, a Kansan who shared her story on condition that her last name not be used.
Diane is the target of a stalker a former boss who, starting in 1987, went from praising her work to sending letters and poems, calling her home and sitting in his car outside her house.
She changed jobs, had caller ID and call-blocking installed on her phone and took other steps, but the intermittent contacts continued, most recently around Christmas.
The law has offered limited
help.
Police have suggested that Diane seek a restraining order, the usual remedy for people stalked by strangers or casual acquaintances. Getting a restraining order normally requires a court hearing, however.
"Why should I have to hire an attorney, take my time and spend my money to make somebody leave me alone?" Diane says.
Kansas law has another shield against stalkers — a "protection from abuse" order, which a judge can issue quickly without a hearing. But again, there's a catch: The two parties must have lived together or had a child together.
MONDAY,FEB.11,2002
Now, a state Senate committee is weighing a bill that would let judges give immediate legal protection — prior to a hearing
- to people intentionally harassed by individuals with
The measure would create a new "protection from stalking" order, already on the books in 30 states.
whom they have not had intimate ties.
"It's designed to help those stalked by strangers. It would fill a huge gap in the law with this provision," said Sen. David Adkins, R-Leawood, one of the sponsors.
The bill requires only that a person show "good cause" that stalking occurred to get the temporary order, which could impose various restrictions. A hearing would have to be held within 20 days.
Not everybody thinks the bill is a good idea.
"How far do you extend these things? This is part of a politically correct agenda. If you want to punish somebody for stalking, then do it," said Sen. Ed Pugh, R-
Wamego, a Judiciary Committee member.
The Senate Judiciary Committee heard testimony about the bill Friday and did not take immediate action.
The KBI says there were 150 stalking cases reported to police statewide last year, although the agency still is receiving data. In 2000, there were 230 cases and 172 in 1999.
Stalking is defined in state law as an intentional, malicious and repeated following or harassment of another and making a credible threat with the intent of placing a person in reasonable fear of his or her safety.
"It's not as simple as A shot B with a gun. When you get into legalistic definitions, it gets more complicated for the officer on the street," said Kansas Bureau of Investigation agent Kyle Smith.
Budget woes may hit State courts
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — State courts will have to close for three days between now and July unless the state provides more money quickly, the judiciary's top official warned legislators.
"We can't meet the payroll," Supreme Court Chief Justice Kay McFarland said Thursday.
In testimony to the House and Senate budget committees, McFarland said the court system needs an extra $600,000 in the current fiscal year, which ends June 30, and additional $3.6 million for the following year.
"I'm sitting here, preoccupied with trying to keep the doors open," McFarlane said.
Gov. Bill Graves has proposed both appropriations, but the $3.6 million for fiscal 2003 depends upon passage of his proposals for $228 million in tax increases.
Because salaries consume 97 percent of the court system's budget, McFarland said personnel costs are the only place to save money.
Already, she said, vacancies at the district and appellate courts are going unfilled for at least 90 days, making extra — and unpaid — days off for employees the only other way to cut expenses.
europeans.
"We can't change the rules and say, 'OK, no more divorces in Johnson County, we don't have time for them,'" McFarland said.
Legislators told McFarland she had made a case for the court system, but said they're not sure the Legislature will increase taxes.
"Why don't you just sue the heck out of us?" said Sen. Paul Fleciano, D-Wichita.
McFarland replied: "Suing won't get you anything soon."
The judiciary's current budget is almost $79 million, about $554,000 more than in the previous fiscal year. But that increase did not cover raises granted to employees by the Legislature, or other costs such as health insurance.
In addition, the number of cases filed in Kansas courts rose nearly 46 percent over the past 15 years, while the number of judges rose 8 percent and court workers, 10 percent.
McFarland compared the judiciary to nesting hens that have more eggs placed in front of them. She said the hens will try to sit on all the eggs, no matter how many.
"Because they're sitting on so many eggs, they can't hatch anything," she said. "I don't want the court system to be in that role."
In other action Thursday:
- The Senate Ways and Means Committee reluctantly approved a proposed budget for the Department on Aging that dramatically cuts a program providing home health aides for about 7,300 older Kansans.
On an 89-31 vote, House members approved and sent a bill to the Senate that would give state officials greater authority in bolstering security.
The state should allow more out-of-state bow hunters to hunt deer, former Gov. Mike Hayden told the Senate Natural Resources Committee. Hayden is serving as wildlife and parks secretary.
Two northwest Kansas senators presented a plan for redrawing the state's 40 Senate districts.
Federal aid to pay for ice damage
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Joe Al baugh, federal disaster chief spent several hours Friday tourin fire and tree-damaged spots i Missouri and Kansas, where hur dreds of thousands of resident lost power in the middle of winter
Thousands still without powe Friday after last week's ice storm should have electricity by Saturday, Kansas City Mayor Ka Barnes said.
president Bush issued disaste declarations Thursday for bot Missouri and Kansas, triggerin the release of millions of dollarsi federal funds to help the Kansa City region recover from the storm.
Local governments on bot sides of the state line have estimated public damage and recovery costs at nearly $50 million. Al baugh refused to say how muc the Federal Emergency Manage ment Agency would spend to hel the area with cleanup, saying would depend on how much wa needed.
But he urged residents including those who spent night in hotel rooms after being force from their suddenly chilly home
—to contact FEMA for assistance
Barnes, who met with Allbaug briefly Friday morning, sai Kansas City Power & Light crew were working feverishly to restor power to the roughly 12,00 KCPL customers who remain without electricity Friday.
"The goal is to get them a taken care of by midnight (Fri day)" Barnes said.
About 3,000 more customer served by other utility company in the region were also expected t get power before the end of the weekend, officials said. At the peak of the outage, more than 420,000 customers were without electricity.

Bluegrass fans of all ages flocked to the Holiday Inn Holidome, 200 McDonald Drive, this weekend to hear bluegrass and old-time country music by local and national acts.

Bluegrass enthusiasts have a jamboree at festival
By Mandalee Meisner Special to the Kansan
Adrian Erlinger makes a deep, guttural noise — an unorthodox sound to be heard floating over the steady rhythm of a bluegrass jam. He sounds like a human didgeridoo, barely forming syllables with the steady stream of air that turns his face red.
The others gathered with him at Room 342 in the Holiday Inn Holidome, 200 McDonald Drive, encourage his impromptu performance with enthusiastic claps and hollers. Some strum mandolins, guitars or banjos, and others just sit on the beds to watch the spectacle.
"It's throat singing," Erlinger,
Chesterfield, Mo., senior, says. "It's common to a small region in Central Asia called Tuva."
Erlinger is one of a handful of young bluegrass followers that gathered — along with professional musicians and older fans — Friday and Saturday for the Free State Music Festival at the Holidome.
The two-day event — which brought in local old-time and bluegrass acts such as Euphoria String Band and the Midday Ramblers, along with national touring groups like Jim & Jesse McReynolds and Lost Highway — transformed the hotel into a weekend-long jam session.
"This is a really banal place to have a bluegrass festival," says
Matt Gertken, Hutchinson freshman and University Daily Kansan cartoonist. "But it went over surprisingly well."
Musicians and fans gather in hallways and side rooms of the indoor festival, playing and singing long after the last scheduled performance ends. Some, such as Nate Roy, a Stockton sophomore, rent hotel rooms so the jamming can continue into the night. There, the traditional music of an older generation mixes with youthful experimentation and innovation.
"I get a kick out of all of these young people with their energy." Lauralyn Bodle says, referring to a few confident audience members who began imitatively dancing in
the middle of a performance. "I think they were trying to clog."
Bodle teaches Italian at the University of Kansas and plays fiddle and bass for the buckskin clad, "1870's chic," Alferd Packer Memorial String Band.
Bodle says that she's noticed more interest in traditional Americana music among high-school and college-age crowds.
"When I was in college, people turned up their noses at it," she says. "The students that I see on campus now don't sneer at it—they're interested."
Bob McWilliams, festival announcer and KU alumnus, says much of the surge in bluegrass popularity could be tracked back to the release of Oh Brother,
Where Art Thou — a film made by Joel and Ethan Coen set in the depression-era South. Bluegrass, old-time and other American roots music dominate the best-selling soundtrack.
"There's a whole generation of people that are now in their 40s or 50s who got into bluegrass by listening to the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's 'Will the Circle Be Unbroken,'" McWilliams says. "Now, with Oh Brother, Where Art Thou, we're seeing that same phenomenon."
Phil Wade, who enjoyed moderate success in the '90s with his alternative band, Pedalijets, says he started playing bluegrass after he got "burnt out" on rock. Wade, who lends banjo to The Wilders, a
Kansas City area-based bluegrass band, identifies how and why traditional music was serving to bridge the musical gap between generations.
"I think older folks remember the music; they grew up on the music," Wade says. "While at the same time, younger people are attracted to how honest and driving it is.
"It's not a big leap between hardcore punk to old-time. There's different instrumentation and the vocals are better, but it still makes you want to raise your fist in the air."

Hockey fans don't need to look far for games
Perhaps it can be blamed on the Olympics — or hearing about the 1980 Miracle on Ice team — but I have caught hockey fever.
Yes, in the midst of an awesome basketball season. I have strayed and have been hooked on hockey for the past few weeks.
This column is for all you hockey fans out there, and if you're clueless when it comes to this game, I'll help you out as much as I can with the rules.
First of all, if you're looking for a little hockey action nearby, either turn on the Olympics or check out fellow students who are on the men's club hockey team.
The team's next game isn't until mid-March, but this gives you time to brush up on the rules (or learn them completely if needed).
So far, the team's record is an impressive 4-0. There is no set schedule because games and ice times are expensive and hard to come by, said Matt Davis, Topeka sophomore and a member of the team.
Anyone can join, and each member shells out $250 a year to belong to the club. They play other club teams in the surrounding states including Oklahoma, Nebraska, Texas, Iowa and a few teams in Colorado.
The team practices once a week in Kansas City. It has obviously been working hard, and its record shows it.
Now, some of the basic rules for those of you who are hockey illiterate (these will also come in handy when watching the Winter Olympics).
We'll start with the most frequently called penalties:
Offsides: players of an attacking team may not precede the puck into the attacking zone.
Icing: This is called when any player of a team shoots,' kicks, bats with the hand or deflects the puck from his own half of the ice beyond the goal line of the opposing team. Play will be stopped and the puck is then faced off at the opposing team's end face-off spot.
Offside pass (also known as a two-line pass): A player cannot receive the puck that crossed not only the blue line but also the center red line. If the player follows the puck, this is allowed.
Obviously, there are hundreds of other rules and infractions a player can commit, but they get very detailed and I don't have enough space to map out the entire game.
Another aspect of hockey — which some would argue is the most entertaining — is the fights.
Throw off your gloves, pull the jersey over the other guy's head and start swinging. Bloodied faces and knocked-out teeth are the results along with a visit to the "sin bin."
Matt Pirotte said he had been to a KU hockey game and was impressed with all the fighting he saw.
"My roommate, Matt Davis, was ejected for pummeling one of the other team's defenders," the Joplin, Mo., sophomore said.
Well, with all of that said to introduce you to the game of hockey, take a break from basketball for once — especially for the Winter Olympics and our club team — and broaden your sports knowledge.
Eichten is a Topeka sophomore in journalism.

Kansas conquers, Knight keeps cool
Knight keeps the temper under wraps as No.2 Jayhawks dominate his No.24 Red Raiders
By Doug Pacey
Kansan sportswriter
The game was a sideshow Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.
Bobby Knight.
Sure, the crowd wanted a win against Texas Tech and hoped to see one of Drew Gooden's signature slams, but everyone's eyes and minds were focused on something, make that someone, else.
The Red Raiders' coach was the reason ticket scalpers were getting upwards of $200 for $25 general admission seats. Students held signs shaped like folding chairs and waited eagerly for Knight to blow his top.
It never happened.
Knight got steamed and flailed his arms a bit when Tech's Ronald Ross was whistled for goal tending in the secondhalf. But before the crowd had even started its chant of "Bobby, Bobby." Knight was back in his seat and the game was on.
The spotlight should have been on No. 2 Kansas' run-and-gun offense. The Jayhawks (21-2 overall, 10-0 Big 12 Conference) sped up and down the court and burned the less-athletic No. 24 Red Raiders (16-6, 5-5) 108-81 for Kansas' fourth 27-point plus victory in a row.
Hinrich led all players with a career high 28 points and two others — junior forwards Gooden, 21, and Nick Collison, 20 — had more than 20 points for the second time in three games and just the third time since 1988.
"This team is suited more for that kind of game," coach Roy Williams said of the high-scoring effort. "Our big guys can run. You saw the big guys getting out on the break a couple times today. The guards, Kirk and Aaron can really pass the basketball. It is a team that's tailored to run and that's what we try to do."
In an up-tempo game where teams get more possessions, it usually translates into more turnovers. The Jayhawks gave the ball away 22 times Saturday, the most they have committed since 26 turnovers in the 106-73 win against South Carolina State Dec. 15.
"I don't know how we scored 108 points after turning the ball over 22 times." Gooden said. "That's scary. We could've gotten 120."
What should frighten Big 12 foes even more is that before Saturday's game Tech held its opponents to a Big 12-low shooting percentage of 40.1. The Jayhawks made a jaw-dropping 60.6 percent, 43 for 71, of their attempts against the Red Raiders. Tech connected on just 29 of 79 shots, 36.7 percent.
"There is a relentless quality to this team," Knight said about the Jayhawks. "Kansas and Duke are right there as two of the best teams in the country."

'Hawks want revenge in trip to Austin
By Doug Pacey
Kansan sportswriter
AUSTIN, Texas — Before Kansas beat Oklahoma State 79-61 a month ago, Kirk Hinrich said he had nightmares about losing to the Cowboys two years ago in Stillwater, Okla.
Drew Gooden, Nick Collison and Hinrich said they were all antsy about facing Iowa State nearly three weeks ago because they had never beaten the Cyclones. But those feelings were released after the Jayhawks eked by Iowa State 88-81 in Ames, Iowa.
Tonight's 8 p.m. nationally-televiRED ESPN "Big Monday" match-up against Texas is another chance for revenge for the junior trio. The Longhorns (16-7 overall, 7-3 Big 12 Conference) out-muscled Kansas 68-54 two years ago in Austin.
"I remember us going down there
"I remember us going down there [to Texas] and getting our ass whipped, basically."

and getting our ass whipped, basically," Gooden said.
That Texas team featured two strong, physical inside players, Chris Mihm and Gabe Muoneke. This time it's the No. 2 Jayhawks (21-2, 10-0) who have the advantage in the post. Forwards Gooden and Collision average a combined 36.2 points and 19.1 rebounds per game. The Longhorns' two forwards, Brandon Mouton and Deginald Erskin, and center James Thomas pale in comparison. Those three total a
combined 31.2 points and 15.8 rebounds per game.
"They had a lot of experienced players," Collison said. "Chris Mihm and Muoneke kind of beat us up. We weren't ready for that, but now we're two totally different teams."
In fact, this youthful Texas team is very similar to the Kansas team the Longhorns beat two years ago. Three sophomores and one fantastic freshman, point guard T.J. Ford, start for this Texas team.
Ford leads the nation in assists per game, 8.5, and consistently dazzles opponents with his ball handling.
"He's one of my favorite players to

watch after watching him (on television Saturday)," Collison said. "He was unbelievable. I watched him play Colorado and he was fun to watch. Usually I don't say that about a guy because I see so many games, but I was impressed with him."
Jeff Boschee sprained his left thumb during Saturday's game. His left hand was wrapped in a cast after the game, but he will play tonight.

Solid effort still falls short
Women's basketball losing streak extended to 12 games after 69-57 defeat against Missouri
By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter
COLUMBIA, Mo. — According to Missouri women's basketball coach Cindy Stein, the Kansas women's basketball team is improving.
"I've been surprised because Marian Washington is a very good coach," Stein said of Kansas' season. "She's doing a heck of a job with these kids. I've seen their team and it's getting better."
Unfortunately for the Jayhawks, their improvement was not enough to overcome the Tigers on Saturday, and Kansas extended its losing streak to 12 games with a 69-57 loss at Columbia.
Kansas coach Marian Washington, said she was pleased by her team's performance.
"I thought our effort was much better this ballgame, especially away from home in front of a lot of people," she said.
Kansas (5-20 overall, 0-12 Big 12 Conference) kept the contest close early on.
Behind eight points apiece by seniors Selena Scott and Nikki White, the 'Hawks went nearly basket-for-basket with Missouri (14-8, 5-6) in the opening half.
Kansas led 17-9 with 11 minutes remaining, but let the Tigers claw back and take a 32-27 advantage into the locker room.
"They started out really well," Missouri guard Kerensa Barr said of the Jayhawks. "But losing never really entered our minds tonight. You don't get beat by Kansas, and you definitely don't get beat by them if they haven't won a conference game."
Missouri took over on the offensive glass after the break and pulled away, outscoring the Jayhawks 24-14 in the first 10 minutes of the second half.
Tiger guard Evan Unrau grabbed 13 rebounds and scored 16 points, while Barr

Kansas thrower sets NCAA record at Iowa State meet
Kansan sportswriter
Scott Russell is now officially the best weight thrower college track and field has ever seen.
The senior from Windsor, Ontario, owns the collegiate record in the 35-pound weight throw after winning the Iowa State Classic Friday in Ames, Iowa, in his first attempt.
The record measures 81 feet, 1 1/4 inches, smashing the old mark of 78-9 3/4 set last year by Libor Charfreitag of Southern Methodist University.

With all of her fans and teammates watching, Lorenz won 7-5, 6-3 and gave Kansas a 4-3 victory over the previously undefeated Tulsa Golden Hurricanes.
"I didn't even know that my match was for the win," Lorenz said.
Tulaa was 5-0 entering Saturday's dual and was ranked 51st, two spots ahead of the Jayhawks, who are now 2-0.

Softball team gains confidence three victories in first tournament
By Ali Brox Kansan sportswriter
In a 3-2 come-from-behind victory against No.6 Arizona State, the Kansas softball team closed out a successful weekend in the Fiesta Bowl Classic in Phoenix.
"Coming out and beating a team like Arizona State is huge for our confidence," said senior left fielder Christy Musser.
The Jayhawks left with a 3-2 record in their first tournament of the season.
"Today was a huge boost for us," coach Tracy Bunge said. "Coming from behind speaks a lot for the character of our team."
"We didn't look like a very good team on Friday," Bunge said. "It was frustrating not to play like we think we're capable of. As a coach, I was proud to see us bounce back on Saturday. We were much, much better."

Kansas football alumnus dies in Vegas motorcycle accident
The Kansas football team lost one of its most successful alumni when Broderick Thompson died in a motorcycle accident near Las Vegas last Monday. He was 41.
According to police in Boulder City, Nevada, Thompson, who played at Kansas from 1981-82, was killed when his motorcycle hit a tractor-trailer on U.S. 95, south of Boulder City.
He played 12 seasons as an offensive tackle in the NFL, including stints in Dallas, San Diego, Philadelphia and Denver before retiring in 1996. He was living in Cerritos, Calif., at the time of his death.
He played two seasons with coach Don Fambrough at Kansas, and helped lead the Jayhawks to an 8-4 record and a berth in the Hall of Fame Bowl in 1981.

BOXING Tyson looks for boxing license in Michigan, Texas, California
DETROIT — Former boxing great Thomas Hearns is trying to lure the Mike Tyson-Lennox Lewis fight to Michigan by filing paperwork with the state, requesting to stage a bout at the Pontiac Silverdome April 6.
Tyson and Lewis were scheduled to fight for the heavyweight title that night in Las Vegas, but Nevada officials voted 4-1 last month to deny Tyson a license to fight in the state.
Tyson also applied in Texas for a license to fight and is expected to apply for a license in California.
Michigan can only deny a boxer's license if he is on suspension in any other state, in jail or fails a pre-fight physical. However, a bill being considered by a state House committee would require boxing license applicants to demonstrate "good moral character."
State Rep. Andrew Raczkowski, who introduced the bill, issued a statement Friday urging the Legislature to approve it so Tsyon would be unable to fight in Michigan.
"For the good of the state and the sport as a whole, unsavory characters should be denied access," Raczkowski said.

Tightlipped Knight keeps his lid on

LAURIE SISK/KANSAN
Texas Tech coach Bobby Knight expresses himself to an official. Knight remained relatively calm for most of Saturday afternoon's game, in which his team fell to the Jayhawks 108-81.
By Brent Wasko Kansan sportswriter
Texas Tech coach Bobby Knight didn't seem like he wanted to be at Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday.
The infamous coach waited in the locker room during the singing of the "National Anthem" and the "Alma Mater." Cameras flashed as Knight made his first appearance of the afternoon — at the last possible minute before team introductions. He posed with Kansas coach Roy Williams near center court and went about his business, watching the Red Raiders lose to the Ivahawks, 108-81.
After the game, Knight took almost 30 minutes to come out of the visitor's locker room into a cramped hallway to talk with the media. So many reporters tried to gain access to Knight that few could see or hear him.
Kansas City Star columnist Jason Whitlock asked Knight if he would move to a more spacious location away from his team'socker room.
"I'm not much to look at anyway," Knight said. "Let's just do it here."
After one question was asked, another reporter requested that Knight move
"If I asked you to go outside, you'd print it and make a big deal out of it," he said.
into the room next door. Knight again refused.
Knight answered just a few more questions and got out of town. His players weren't allowed to talk to reporters.
Even though he wasn't too excited about answering questions after the game, Knight's few comments were all complimentary toward Kansas.
"I think we got beat by a much better team," he said. What they have in this队 is that they are relentless.
"They just keep playing, and playing and playing. I don't think other teams understand this. They are really fun to watch."
Knight said his team couldn't keep up with the high-tempo jayhawk offense.
"I think we worked hard, " he said. "It was a 40-minute factor, and the intensity that we played with just wore down."
Despite the loss, Knight, for the most part, remained subdued throughout the contest. For majority of the first half, he sat in his chair, showing anger only with facial expressions and hand gestures.
In the second half, Knight
With 10:53 remaining, he got in a referee's face and yelled at him about an offensive goaltending call on Red Raider forward Pawel Storoznyski.
was a little more fired up.
The sold-out crowd reacted loudly to Knight coming off the bench, but no technical foul was called on the coach.
Notes:
Former Jayhawk center Scot Pollard, who plays in the NBA for the Sacramento Kings, attended Saturday's game.
He watched the contest from behind the Jayhawk bench with his wife, Mindy, and daughter, Lolly.
"I love coming back during the NBA All-Star break," he said. "It's a lot more exciting basketball on this level than it is on my level."
Pollard, who played for the layhawks from 1994-1997,said he had been keeping up with the Kansas team this season.
"My schedule and their schedule are more compatible this season," Pollard said. "Actually, I'm hoping the team makes it to the Final Four because we're playing the Atlanta Hawks that same weekend, so I'll be there anyway. Hopefully, coach will give me good tickets."
PGA golfer Matt Gogel has made quite a name for himself since graduating from Kansas.
Gogel, who played for the Jayhawks from 1991-94, became the first Kansas alumnus to record a PGA Tour win, claiming the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am on Jan. 31.
He was presented with an autographed basketball during the first half of Saturday's game in recognition of his recent accomplishments.
"I'll have the basketball in my trophy case now right next to the award I got at Pebble Beach." Gogel said. "It's a real honor."
Don Pierce, former Kansas football player and sports publicist, was inducted into the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame at halftime of Saturday's game.
His widow, Vivian, daughter, Ann, sons Wayne and Bobby, and granddaughter, Terri-Hazelwood, were given a standing ovation during the ceremony.
Pierce died in an auto accident on New Year's Eve of 1964. He was 45. He handled media duties from 1945-1964.

Kansan sportswriter
COLUMBIA, Mo. — For Blair Waltz, Saturday's game against Missouri was bittersweet.
the freshman forward was reunited on the court with two of her former high school teammates, Tracy Lozier and Wannette Smith, in Missouri's 69-57 victory over Kansas at the Hearnes Center.
"It was fun," Waltz said. "It brought back a lot of old memories."
The three led Blue Valley North high school to a Kansas 6A state championship in 1998, while Lozier and Waltz won another title in 2000.
"It's especially good to beat her," said Lozier, who scored 11 points. "She's a great player."
Waltz had seven points and four rebounds in 33 minutes of play. But it was Missouri's Lozier and Smith who left the Hearnes Center with bragging rights for the season.
Notes:
The announced attendance Saturday was 10,321, a Missouri women's basketball record. The previous mark was 10,126, set last
year when the Jayhawks were in town.
"This young club has been playing in front of a lot of people," coach Marian Washington said. "Missouri-KU has always had a tremendous tradition."
The first half of Saturday's Border War featured 10 lead changes. Lozier's 3-point bucket with 1:45 to go in the first half gave Missouri the lead for good, and propelled the Tigers to their fifth straight victory over the Jayhawks.
The Jayhawks still hold an advantage in the all-time series, 33-28.
The Jayhawk's offensive attack, often spread out as it was Saturday, saw three players scoring in double figures.
Seniors K.C. Hilgenkamp, guard, and Nikki White, center, each had 12 points, while senior guard Selena Scott had 10 on 5-8 shooting.
The game marked the 10th time this season that three or more Jayhawks reached double figures in points.

For coach Stanley Redwine, Russell's success was expected.
"When I think about a great competitor, that's Scott," Redwine said. "When you're talking about setting an example for success, we have someone like that."
"What he does for the team,he brings about huge expectations,and that's what we need."
Last week, Russell had an even better mark
Last week, Russell had an even better mark — a toss of 80-4 1/4 — but it didn't count for record purposes because a broken chain link elongated the weight two millimeters over the allowed length.
Russell, who won the event in Ames by more than 10 feet, said he learned at last year's world outdoor championships how to ignore what his competitors were doing.
At that meet, the philosophy kept him from being intimidated by older, more experienced competitors. He's now intimidating them.
"I really can't control what the others are doing," Russell said. "I just try to focus on what I need to do technically to throw well."
Bookman, who also plays football for the Jayhawks, said the transition from the field to the track had improved from last year, but he would still work out more to improve the finish of his race.
"When I think about a great competitor,that's Scott...What he does for the team,he brings about huge expectations,and that's just used."

He also wants to improve some other aspects, such as getting out of the blocks. A false start disqualification in a meet earlier in the season is still causing him to be hesitant at the start.
Plus, he said, it was difficult for a bigger runner to navigate the tight turns of an indoor track, which was something he was still learning to do.
"I've got a lot faster times in me, I can tell," Bookman said. "I'm running better earlier this year."
Redwine competed and coached at Arkansas, the country's best program. He said raising the level of expectation at Kansas had been one of the biggest factors in the team's continued improvement.
"One of the things I did learn at Arkansas was that you have to work harder to stay there than you do to get there," he said. "We have a test every week, and until we're winning every event and breaking NCAA records and things like that, we're doing average on our tests."

SECURITY ALERT
Terrorist attack possible. FBI says
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The FBI issued an extraordinary terrorist alert last night, asking law enforcement and the American public to be on the lookout for a Yemeni man and several associates who might be plotting a terrorist attack as early as today.
The FBI scrambled to put the warning out after information emerged that one or more people were involved. Officials said the intelligence, while deemed credible, was not specific about possible targets.
The alert identified one possible attacker as Fawaz Yahya al-Rabeei, a Yemeni national born in Saudi Arabia in 1979. It listed about a dozen associates of al-Rabeei, most from Saudia Arabia and Yemen. One associate was listed as possibly coming from Tunisia.
The bureau planned to put photos and information on a Web site to help Americans identify the possible perpetrators.
"Recent information indicates a planned attack may occur in the United States or against U.S. interests on or around Feb.12, 2002. One or more operatives may be involved in the attack," the alert to 18,000 law enforcement agencies said.
The alert asked police "to stop and detain" any of the named individuals in alert and that all "should be considered extremely dangerous."
Although the alert was issued on the fourth night of the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, officials said there was no intelligence suggesting the Games were a possible target. Instead, they urged that all locations in the United States and abroad with Americans to be on guard.
Law enforcement officials said there was no evidence that al-Rabeei had entered the United States. The alert did not say whether the attack was planned by or involved Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network.
Law enforcement officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the alert was prompted by recent information from interviews of detainees in Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where several al-Qaida operatives are being held.
Officials said the information was specific enough to be deemed credible but had come in so recently that it could not be corroborated yet. The warning was issued out of caution and because today was near, they said.
Fraternity sued over death
Seeks damages from University, Phi Gamma Delta and student
By Rachel Keesee
Kansan staff reporter
The University of Kansas, a KU fraternity and a KU student have been sued for negligence in relation to a September 2000 car wreck that killed a Lawrence woman.
The family of Felicia Bland filed a lawsuit in Douglas County court yesterday claiming wrongful death and asking for damages in excess of $75.000.
Bland was killed in a collision on Sept. 16, 2000 on Kansas Highway 10 with Sean Scott, then 16 years old. Scott visited his brother, Robert "Mike" Scott, a KU student. He was drinking at The Wheel, 507 W. 14th St., and Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, where his brother lived, before returning home according to the Kansas Highway Patrol.
Scott's 1992 Chevrolet Camaro crossed the median and struck the driver's side door of Bland's 1990 Mazda 626. The police later determined that Bland was killed on impact.
The lawsuit asks for damages in compensation for the loss of Bland, the suffering of her husband, James Bland, and daughter, Michaela Rodriquez.
Scott pleaded no contest and was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in March 2001.
The lawsuit claims Sean Scott drove to Lawrence on Sept. 16 to see his brother. He met his brother at the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, where his brother lived.

Sean Scott and his brother went to The Wheel to meet their mother, Dana Rieke; stepfather, Lawrence Rieke;
"Sean Scott continued to increase his level of intoxication...including rum served to him by Barrett Bottemuller and other members" of the fraternity.
From the Bland family's lawsuit
Barrett Bottemuller, a Phi Gamma Delta pledge; and others. The lawsuit claims the Riekes provided alcohol to Sean and other minors.
Sean and other minor Dan Church, attorney for the Bland family, said The Wheel had not been sued because no facts supported it selling alcohol to minors.
"The Wheel sold to two adults," Church said. "The parents were purchasing alcohol for minors' consumption."
Last month, Lawrence Rieke was charged with six counts of providing alcohol to a minor. His first court appearance was Feb. 6.
The Wheel, the Scott brothers and Bottemuller went to the fraternity house, where "Sean Scott continued to increase his level of intoxication... including rum served to him by Barrett Bottemuller and other members" of the fraternity.
The lawsuit claims that after leaving
the firmry.
The Riekes' attorney and Botemuller's attorney did not return phone calls yesterday.
Bebe Arbuckle, house director of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, said she did not have any comment.
The lawsuit also names KU as negligent, saying the University "had a duty to regulate and control the consumption of alcoholic beverages by minors within fraternities and other social organizations directly related to and benefiting the University of Kansas."
Todd Cohen, assistant director of University Relations, said he had not seen a copy of the lawsuit, and the University's policy was to not comment on pending litigation.

Students speak out about plan to demolish houses on Ohio
By Lauren Beatty Kansan staff writer
Some students voiced opposition to the demolition of three houses on Ohio Street while others said the houses should be razed to make room for scholarship halls at a meeting with state historic preservation officers last night.
University of Kansas officials want to raze the houses to make room for two new scholarship halls. Members of the Oread Neighborhood Association and the Lawrence Preservation Alliance have said the houses should be protected because they are near Spooner Hall and the Usher House, both listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Amanda Meglemre, Overland Park sophomore and resident of Douthart Scholarship Hall, said she was unsure about whether the houses should be demolished. She acted as a representative for other scholarship hall residents, compiling a petition signed by 108 people who opposed the demolition.
"They feel there are better things to do with that building." Meglemre said.
Maggie Beedles, Lawrence junior and resident of Margaret Amini Scholarship Hall, said she thought the homes were eyesores and detracted from the neighborhood. She said more scholarship halls would benefit the community.
MARSHALL
"I hope the safety of our neighborhood is improved and more scholarship halls are built," she said. "The more scholarship halls, the better."
Powers, Kansas state historic preservation officer, will decide the fate of the University-owned houses in the 1300 block of Ohio Street.
Ramon Powers is the state officer who will decide whether to allow the University to demolish the vacant houses.
KIMBERLY THOMPSON/KANSAN
One of three houses that may be razed to build a new scholarship hall sits boarded up behind KK Amini Scholarship Hall. A public hearing will be conducted Monday to determine if the houses, located at 1323 Ohio, 1329 Ohio (pictured) and 1333 Ohio, contribute to the historic environs.
Meglemre said she thought the meeting would aid Powers in his decision.
"There was a good amount of input," she said.
Christy Davis, representative for the Historical Society, said people could
submit their comments to Powers for two more weeks. The final decision is expected within four weeks.

"Happy Valentines Day! This might be my last Valentine's Day at KU if tuition goes up UNFAIRLY. Love, a KU student."
In the spirit of Valentine's Day, Student Senate will distribute handmade Valentines with messages like this one to Board of Regents members Thursday in Topeka as part of a demonstration against tuition increases.
Browning said the demonstration would help students, faculty and staff voice their concerns about the tuition debate before the Regents hear the final proposals on the increases at their next meeting in March. The regents have asked state universities to develop proposals for five-year tuition increases.

Browning said Student Senate wanted to make sure that the Regents raised tuition fairly after listening to the groups involved.
involved. "Students, faculty and staff should have a say where the money goes, worked out democratically," he said.
The Thursday meeting will be the second this semester. Twenty students traveled to Topeka in January to support Justin Mills, student body president, who spoke on students' concerns. Browning said Thursday's demonstration would serve the same purpose and attract more students.
"We won't be disruptive," he said. "We just want to be there to show our concern."
Drew Thomas, off-campus senator, will be in Topeka on Thursday for the demonstration. "When we go to more than one meeting, it shows that we're not going to give up," Thomas said.
The Board of Regents office is located in the Signature State Office Building, 1000 S.W. Jackson St. in Topeka, across the street from the Capitol building. Student Senate has arranged car pools for those interested in attending. The car pools will leave from the Holiday Inn Holidome, 200 McDonald Drive, at 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. For more information, call the Student Senate office at 864-3710.

Barton County students caught cheating
The Associated Press
GREAT BEND—As many as 30 students may have been involved in academic dishonesty during finals week of the fall term at Barton County Community College, school officials said.
Seven students were caught cheating on finals, school president Veldon Law said.
He said none of the 16 students in a
class spoke up when their instructor mistakenly handed out a copy of the final exam.
In the most serious case, two students were caught stealing the final exam from an instructor's office.
One student was caught looking at another's final in science class, officials at the school said.
Officials also said four students downloaded term papers from the
Internet and presented them as their own work.
The punishment for cheating is determined by the instructor, who can give students an "F" for the assignment or an "F" for the entire course.
The students caught stealing a test were also stripped of their athletic scholarships, limited in competition time for their sport and placed on academic probation, Law said.

Estimates of ice storm damage climb beyond $48 million mark
WICHITA — More than a week after a snow and ice storm knocked power out to 435,000 Kansans,1,471 people were still waiting for the electricity to come back on, the adjutant general's office said yesterday.
Meanwhile, disaster officials continued to tally the damage from the storm. With all counties surveyed, damage estimates now top $48 million in Kansas, said spokeswoman Joy Moser.
much of that was in Wyandotte and Johnson counties, where $17 million in damage was reported, mostly to infrastructure, she said. Service in those two counties has been completely restored.
Franklin County reported $4 million in damage, with Coffey County reporting $3.98 million in damage.
President Bush declared a disaster in 35 counties across Kansas last week.
The remaining outages are scattered throughout the state. Moser said.
Senate committee considers bill cracking down on profiteering
TOPEKA — Legislation cracking down on those who profiteer after a disaster was considered by the Senate Judiciary Committee, but not all members thought it was a good idea.
"I have serious doubts that we want this type of big brotherism," said Sen. Les Donovan, R-Wichita. "It飞 in the face of free enterprise."
The committee took no vote yesterday on the bill, which would amend the Consumer Protection Act to make it illegal to increase the price of necessary goods and services after a disaster is declared by the president, governor or local officials.
The bill is a response to some instances of the gasoline shooting to $5 a gallon at a few locations on Sept. 11, shortly after the terrorist attacks. The prices dropped dramatically in the following days.
WICHITA — Authorities have solved a telephone mystery at the Sedgwick County Jail, and theft charges could follow.
Miscoded phones in jail to blame for mysterious collect call charges
In late January, about two dozen people reported being billed as much as $164 for collect calls from the jail — calls they did not accept.
The problem has been solved, and AT&T will reimburse those wrongly billed, phone company spokeswoman Suzanne Keough said. She said incorrectly coded phones in the jail were to blame for the third-party billing.
Collect calls from inmates are supposed to automatically end if the recipient tries to use three-way calling or forward calls to a third party for billing.
However, inmates calling from some of the jail's phones were able to bypass that restriction because the AT&T system recognized the phones as regular pay phones instead of jail phones. Keough said.
Sedgwick County Sheriff's Capt. Greg Schauer said criminal charges, possibly for theft, could be filed if investigators are able to determine which inmates made the calls.

Mardi Gras celebrations bring French Quarter closer to home
Jessica Tims Kansan staff writer
Students not lucky enough to take a trip to the Big Easy can find bead-tossing, tie-dying and other Mardi Gras activities in Lawrence.
Mardi Gras — literally, Fat Tuesday in French — is the final day of celebration after a week of parades and parties before Ash Wednesday, the day marking the beginning of Lent.
Student Union Activities will celebrate Mardi Gras from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. today in the fourth floor lobby in the Kansas Union, said Fallon Farokhi, public relations coordinator for SUA.
"We are going to have mask making stations and pink, yellow and green tie-dying," she said. "We will also be giving away a $40 gift certificate to Stone Canyon, and we will have beads and buttons."
Farokhi said the public relations committee of SUA decided to celebrate Mardi Gras instead of Valentine's Day because nothing
was planned during the day for Mardi Gras.
The 'Hawk, 1304 Ohio, will be one of many local bars celebrating Mardi Gras, said Tim Craven, manager. He said he expected 400 people to visit the bar tonight.
"We will give away beads and have good specials," he said. "The representatives from some companies also come. Bud Light is going to be here and have giveaways, and the Smirnoff people will also be here doing giveaways."
James Radina, general manager of Abe and Jake's Landing said Z95.7 would broadcast live from the bar and give away beads, T-shirts, CDs and a trip for two to New Orleans.
"We are going to have two DJs and eight bars open." Radina said. "I would advise people to get here early. It is definitely going to be the biggest party in Kansas."
Kelfel Aqui, owner of Coco Loco Mexican Cafe, 943 Massachusetts St., said his bar had celebrated Mardi Gras since Friday night and would continue through tonight.
"I would advise people to get here early. It's definitely going to be the biggest party in Kansas."

Abe and Jake's general manager
"Mardi Gras starts on Friday and has the big finally Tuesday before Lent," he said.
Aqui said Coco Loco would bring together the traditions from two of the biggest Mardi Gras parties in the world; the Brazilian and New Orleans carnivals.
"We will have New Orleans style Hurricanes, and Caipirinha, it is a drink that is traditional in Brazil," he said. "We will have Samba and Latin Mardi Gras music."

WHY MARDI GRAS?
Mardi Gras is the day before Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the 40-day Christian season of Lent, a season of self-denial and fasting.
In many Catholic countries, the last day before fasting was marked with feasting.
In France, this day became known as Fat Tuesday, "Mardi oras" in French.
In many Spanish-speaking countries, the same occasion became known as "Carnival." In Brazil, it is known as "Carnaval."
The biggest Mardi Gras celebrations in the United States took hold in the French colonial capital of New Orleans.
Today, Mardi Gras celebrations around the world have stretched back into the weeks before Fat Tuesday. In most locations, festivities still end promptly at midnight with the beginning of Lent.

EDITORIAL
Students want lecturers who talk the talk
It's not uncommon to hear students gathered outside Budig Hall or other buildings with large lecture classrooms voicing their complaints about the quality of their recently attended lecture especially when it concerns the speaking ability of the instructor leading the class.
Some students are dissatisfied with their instructors' tendency to make common mistakes usually associated with a lack of public speaking experience or an extreme amount of public speech anxiety — mistakes that lower the quality of the lecture and the amount of information students receive. It's as if almost everyone who has ever taken a large lecture class has experienced this problem at one time or another, but no one knows where to go with their comments.
What exactly can be done about this apparent lack of foresight by University officials associated with their instructor selection process? One option at the student level would be to take an active role and voice these complaints to the head of the respective department. After all, officials may be simply unaware that the instructor doesn't possess good public-speaking skills — an imperative trait for a successful lecturer.
At the University level, it is clear that some sort of prerequisite for public speaking experience must be placed upon these large-scale teaching assignments, such as an introductory speech class or workshop taught by experienced instructors. After all, graduate teaching assistants who do not speak English as their native language must pass an English competency test before they are allowed to teach, so why shouldn't all instructors be evaluated for their ability to express ideas clearly and effectively? Common mistakes made by lecturers include the habitual integration of the word "um" into their lectures—a word that, although quite eloquent, is not an important piece of information for students to jot down into their notebooks. Others use differing words to fill the time between important bits of information, but they use them so frequently that it distracts students from comprehending the actual point of the lecture.
Blake Shuart for the editorial board.
Others may stutter, trail off at the end of sentences or speak too slowly or too quickly for students to understand what is being taught. All of these problems are common symptoms of a lack of public speaking ability, and could be cured if speech classes were required for instructors.
These problems occur at the small-classroom level as well, but do not seem to impact students as much as in large lectures, where it is hard enough sometimes to understand information taught by a competent lecturer.
by a committee. If University officials were more selective in choosing instructors for large classes, or watch those that they hire a little more closely, it would drastically improve the quality of lectures for everyone involved - and give students something new to complain about.

Loss of color guard at games disrespects American flag

Ithing changed. They were wrong — some things changed, but others, like death, taxes and the avarice of KU athletics, remained drearily constant.
It's difficult to imagine that anyone at the University of Kansas still harbors illusions about the Athletics Department. Students are crammed into the worst seats in the house. Graduate teaching assistants can't park on campus on game nights and grade papers. Season-ticket holders can drink merily in their climate-controlled box seats long after all the tailgaters have been told to get inside Memorial Stadium. Everybody knows that when it comes to athletics, money talks.
comes to athletics, my life comes to athletics. But that's OK. As disturbing as I find it, I have reconciled myself with the profit-driven exploitative nature of Division I Athletics. I've come to grips with the impossibility of pursuing my academic career during home games. I've learned not to think about the budget cuts, the police blotter, the elitism or the cynical manipulation of school pride. But I always assumed that there were limits beyond which even the Athletics Department would not go.
The last time the Jayhawks appeared on ESPN, Roy Williams actually had the gall to yell at the color guard for not clearing the floor quickly enough. Soon thereafter, the KU ROTCs were contacted and told that their services would no longer be required. There will
But now, even that assumption has been stripped away.
COMMENTARY

be no more color guards at men's basketball games.
Perhaps I should rephrase that in a manner truly reflective of the Athletics Department's deprivacy: During the middle of a war on terror, in which thousands of American troops are putting themselves in harm's way, in an era of national unity, in a time when flags cover the landscape, Kansas men's basketball decided that it didn't have any extra time before the game to show respect for the colors. In the warped world of KU Athletics, the Crimson Girls are more important than the proper presentation of the American flag. It makes me want to vomit.
After talking to Brad Nachtigal, assistant director of facilities, I discovered that the reason behind this policy is that the cadets and midshipmen who present the flag sometimes disrupt the game schedule by 45 seconds — or sometimes even by a minute and a half. This purportedly significantly disrupts the performance of the coaching staff and their pregame pep talk.
Now, I'm not too sure what Roy
williams says in those 90 seconds that is so vital to the outcome of the game, but you would think that he would have the decency to be willing to forego some of his comments so that proper respect could be paid to the country that makes him free.
A pitiful attempt will doubtless be made by the department to make a show of patriotism by shining a spotlight at a flag they've pinned to the Fieldhouse wall. That's not the presentation of the colors. That's an embarrassment. The American flag deserves better than that.
Ultimately, we are responsible for what happens on this campus. I think every KU student has an obligation to call the Athletics Department and demand the reinstitution of the color guard. And if you really want to get their attention, resist the urge to yell as Roy comes onto the court. Your silence will be deafening. Don't cheer for a man who won't go to bat for the flag.
I promise, Al Bohl and the Athletics Department want your money and your support. If you require performance of their civic duty as a prerequisite, they will accede to your will. The American flag, the University of Kansas and KU students and alumni deserve a formal color guard. We must demand no less.
I never thought I would say it, but today I am ashamed to be a Jayhawk.

the UDKran a lead article that says "Student Senate rejects legislation to fund University blood drive."

Dear editor.
Yes, it is open from 9 a.m. to noon, but that is a bit late for folk who have to work or go to classes. This is interesting in light of the fact that the Athletics Department seeks public support (financial and otherwise) for its programs and even asks faculty to help monitor the academic progress and attendance of its athletes. It is always such a one-way street with the Athletics Department.
I wonder if this change of policy has anything to do with having a new athletics director and football coach. Of course, this affects a relatively small group, so it was probably worth a small bit of negative PR.

OFFENSIVE CHALKINGS
Dear editor.
Most students have seen the chalking and hanging of clothes hangers by prochoice students to commemorate and celebrate the 29th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, and to remind us to be vigilant in the defense of women's right to choose. And most students have now seen the
offensive commentary added to these chalkings that use explicit language to describe male and female genitalia and what women's genitals "should" be used for.
Murder was also written across abortion is several places, female symbols attached to or next to swastikas were also added, and there was also a Free for All in the Kansan saying that hangers in trees are boring but hanging feminazis in trees is fun.
Associating pro-choice feminists with Nazis is an utterly ahistorical and ignorant assessment of both feminism and Nazism, and it minimizes the atrocities committed by Nazis and makes a mockery of women's struggle against sexism.
Manipulating a cry advocating women's right to self-determination into a degradation of women's bodies and a reduction of women's lives into sexual service to men is an expression of the rampant misogyny present on campus and in the world around us.
Violence against women takes many forms, physical, sexual, and yes, mental and emotional. It makes women feel unsafe and unwillingly sexualized, and allows men to feel superior to women and justified in their misogyny.
It is through the perpetuation, encouragement and acceptance of these ideas that heinous crimes against women continue to occur. The University has a sexual harassment policy which is ostensibly in
place to be a protection against such sexist displays, yet it seems that the University felt no need to enforce this policy.

SNOW DAY EDITIONS
Dex editor
Whew, I was worried. It's a good thing that Clay McCuistion wrote his column, "As Mount Oread took a break, the 'Kansan' kept working," (Feb. 6). Everyone on campus was so concerned with whether the Kansan staff had to keep working through the snow days that more or less paralyzed our campus. It must be rough. Seeing as how these aspiring journalists had to actually brave the weather and do their jobs, we are all so lucky that the Kansan got a chance to pat itself on the back. I have never seen a newspaper that not only needs to look up the word modesty in the dictionary, but also make a valiant attempt to practice it.
vital knowledge. The Kansan is a great newspaper. It is well written. The layouts are interesting and professional. I was, and not for the first time, disappointed with the content on the opinion page on Wednesday. Working on snow days is a testament to the work ethic of the Kansan's staff, but the newspaper doesn't need to use valuable space in a campus newspaper to praise itself. Obviously, the students do not need reminding that the paper continued to run
throughout the two snow days. The Kansans they read on those two days are evidence enough that Room 111 of Stauffer-Flint was not abandoned while every other building on Mount Oread was.
It is unfortunate that a well-respected newspaper such as the Kansan wrote about itself. The column published was space wasted which could have been used to thank those who spent hours helping fellow students de-ice and clear off their cars so that they could help out the citizens of Lawrence and the surrounding areas who had no heat or power.
Instead of praising the copy editors, photographers, designers and reporters, why didn't the Kansan praise those who had to travel to their families who were experiencing livestock problems, or those who had families who couldn't afford to stay in a hotel while their house became colder and colder in the winter storm?
The Kansan needs to be credited for all the hard work and determination that the staff is well known for. It does deserve a pat on the back for the excellent stories and photographs that were a part of the newspapers printed during the snow days. Just let us give the credit and pats on the back. Become journalists: accept it, appreciate it and move on to the better story.

Committee talks tuition fails to pick final proposal
By Meredith Carr
Kansan staff writer
With Thursday's Board of Regents meeting right around the corner, the Ad-Hoc Committee on University Funding met yesterday afternoon to discuss the progress of the proposed tuition increase.
The committee focused on the size of the increase and the use of the funds, but did not select a final tuition increase proposal.
Administrators proposed the tuition increases to close the gap between the University's funding and the funding of its peer schools. According to administrators, the gap is
approximately $50 million.
Student Senate members expressed concern about closing the gap entirely through tuition increases.
"I if the deficit fairy came down, I'd love to see $50 million," said Matt Steppe, Student Senate legislative director, "But I don't think the students should be the deficit fairies."
Other committee members were concerned that students didn't know how the increases would benefit them. One of the benefits of the tuition increase would be more faculty. Dallas Rakestraw, committee cochair, said he didn't think students realized a lack of
faculty was a problem.
"Most students don't think 'I can't get into Journalism 301 because there aren't enough teachers,' they think 'I can't get into Journalism 301 because there are too many students.' Rakestraw said.
The Provost's office is working on two other tuition proposals to present to the committee next week.
Rakestraw asked for a "town meeting" with the committee, Chancellor Robert Hemenway, faculty and students.

Sheriff posing as teenage girl surprises six pedophiles

Working on his own, with little more than a modem and some spare time, the 37-year-old Livingston County Sheriff has been a one-man pedophile patrol, posing as girls between the ages of 11 and 14 in Internet chat rooms for a few hours each week. Five of the men traveled to Chillicothe have been charged, and a case against the sixth is pending.
Cox says the men who contact "Carrie" seek friendship, photographs and, often, much more. He said he was careful not to solicit relationships himself. He would answer questions and agree to meetings, but he wouldn't suggest sexual activity or make demands, which could be seen as entrapment.
Across the country, sting operations such as Cox's are becoming the new front line in a growing war on Internet predators.
During the 2001 fiscal year, the FBI opened a record 1,559 new cases against alleged predators under its Innocent Images initiative.
The initiative, begun in 1995, enlists the help of local law enforcement and U.S. Customs agents in a handful of cities to focus on Internet predators.
Cox's method is simple: When men begin to show interest, he tries to develop a relationship by e-mail, which stamps each letter with the sender's computer fingerprint.
His invented personas — small-town girls from fatherless homes whose mothers are asleep or away — have interested men from Minnesota to Texas.
"They're looking for a bad girl," Cox said, his fingers dancing over the keyboard, his eyes fixed on the screen. "I tell them I'm skipping school, they love it."
Blue Cross buyout rejected in Kansas
Insurance commissioner says higher premiums would have resulted
TOPEKA — Insurance Commissioner Kathleen Sebelius rejected the sale of Blue Cross-Blue Shield of Kansas to an Indiana firm after concluding that Kansans' premiums would have risen unacceptably.
The Associated Press
"It would cost Kansas businesses, small employers, and families millions of dollars." Sebelius said after issuing an order yesterday denying the sale. "My job was pretty straightforward, to look out for the public interest."
Indianapolis-based Anthem Insurance Companies Inc. would have had to raise premiums significantly to make Kansas Blue Cross more profitable, Sebelius said. Insurance Department attorneys, working independently of Sebelius, had estimated the increases at $248 million over five years.
Anthem, a publicly held corporation, operates former Blue Cross plans in eight states and covers about 7.8 million people.
Blue Cross is owned by its policyholders and has 45 percent of the Kansas health insurance market. It has 172,000 group and individual policies covering 400,000 people, and another 315,000 people work for employers who self-insure but have their plans administered by the Blues.
Officials of Blue Cross argued the deal would have given the Kansas company access to capital and new markets and spread its claims risk over many more policyholders.
Policyholders approved the deal last month. The vote was 63,504, or 63.4 percent, in favor and 36,618, or 36.6 percent, against. The 100,122 who voted represented about 58 percent of the 172,038 eligible.
from many, while others don't want to let go of what we have built," said John Knack, Blue Cross president and chief executive officer.
"This is simply a case of Blue Cross-Blue Shield of Kansas charting its course for the future, gaining support
Officials of the two companies said they would evaluate Sebellius' order before deciding whether to appeal it in Shawnee County District.
we continue to believe that this type of partnership would be best for Kansas," said Anthem spokeswoman Laura Green-Caldwell.
Anthem planned to pay $190 million to acquire Blue Cross, with at least $142 million of it going to policyholders.
Blue Cross would have distributed $131 million of its existing reserves to policyholders as well, meaning they could have received up to $321 million.
But the prospect of Kansas Blue Cross' conversion into an operation of a publicly held, out-of-state corporation drew opposition from many Kansas doctors, hospitals and nurses, as well as an advocacy group for poor and working-class families.
Critics said Anthem would have to increase premiums or cut back on medical coverage to make its new Kansas affiliate more profitable.
in ner order, Sebelius noted that Anthem said it had no plans to change Blue Cross coverage. She also said Anthem provided no substantial evidence on how it would lower costs in Kansas, and noted that Blue Cross' costs currently are lower than Anthem's.
"The lack of evidence supporting a conclusion that Anthem will reduce medical expenses, change benefit design, increase membership or lower administrative expenses, necessarily points the analysis toward premium rate increases," Sebelius said in her order.
She told reporters,"Frankly,the millions of dollars of rate increases is untenable for Kansas."
Anthem operates former Blue Cross plans in Colorado, Connecticut, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Nevada, New Hampshire and Ohio.

Volunteer lends sound to print
By Adam Pracht Kansan staff writer
Harlan Roedel was not going to let bad weather keep him from reading the morning paper for people who couldn't read it themselves when school was canceled last week.
"I knew that I could. I wasn't driving, I wouldn't have to fight slick streets," said Roedel, a 70-year-old retired employee of University Relations. "It was kind of a macho thing. I think."
Roedel lends his deep voice as a volunteer reader for the Audio-Reader Network, a closed-circuit radio service that provides more than 160 hours weekly of printed materials to more than 3,000 people who have difficulty reading for a wide range of reasons.
Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, Roedel walks more than two miles to the studio north of JKHK to read morning papers such as The Kansas City Star and the Lawrence Journal-World for listeners throughout Kansas and western Missouri. Roedel also
reads mysteries, novels and poetry for the network. He has been making the walk to the station for three years and said making the trip that icy Wednesday wasn't a problem. Since roads were still slick on Thursday, Roedel came in that morning as well to fill in for other readers.
He said that the 50-year-old network provided a valuable service.
"Our listeners are shut-ins, legally blind, or unable to read by themselves," he said. "My whole life has been devoted to reading and to literature, and I know how lost I would be if I couldn't read."
Roedel is one of more than 250 Audio-Reader volunteers who read everything from mail-order catalogs to books with adult material. The volunteers range in age from 12 to more than 90 years old and include KU students.
Those who qualify for the service are given a receiver that picks up only the network signal.
The Audio-Reader Network, established in 1971 and one of the first radio
reading services in the world, also provides Internet broadcasting, a telephone service that provides the news of the day and special readings at the request of listeners.
requests of Mason Rachel Magario, Santos, Brazil, junior, said she had used the service since she was a freshman.
Magario, a journalism and geography major, said she used the telephone readings almost daily. She said it let her access news without depending on a friend to read it to her.
"I think it's an accessible medium of communication for blind people, and I think that's very important," she said.

Reader Network, call 864-4600 or 1-

'Harry' Hinrich's magic hexes foes, moves him into elite player status
Har-ry Pot-ter!
Yeah right, Kansas' Kirk Hinrich looks more like Mazda's "zoom-zoom" boy but is probably faster than a '91 Protege and lately he's playing with more magic than Harry Houdini.
He might not be first-team All-America at the end of the season, but it's hard to find a more valuable player in the country right about now.
Just check the numbers. Heading into last night's game with Texas, the junior from Sioux City, Iowa averaged 18.8 points per game in Kansas' last eight outings, while shooting 62.8 percent from the field and an amazing 68 percent on treys.
Those Play Station 2-esque numbers only get more freakish when looking at the 6-foot-3 guard's numbers from the two games preceding last night's contest against the Longhorns, where the magician's stats (14 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists) looked average for the first time this month, although he did lead the Jayhawks in the first half.
Hinrich dropped a career-high 28 points in the Jayhawks' 108-81 bombing of Texas Tech last Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.
That was on the heels of a 26-point effort Monday at Kansas State — Hinrich's previous career best. The two-game total of 54 points not only garnered Hinrich Big 12 Conference player of the week honors, but it was the fourth-best two game total for points in Kansas coach Roy Williams' 14-year career.
That's without mentioning Hinrich's defensive boasts, which two Mondays ago had the Big 12's preseason player of the year candidate, Missouri's Kareem Rush, locked up without a spare key.
"Jacque (Vaughn) and Jerod (Haase) were the two best defensive guards I ever had," said Williams. "Steve Woodberry was the best strictly with the principles, he didn't have the speed or quickness that Jacque and Jerod had. Kirk sort of combines all of that. He may be as well rounded defensively as any guy I've coached on the perimeter."
Name a more deserving All-American candidate? Sure, a slew of others, namely Troy Bell, Dan Dickau, Juan Dixon, Mike Dunleave, Jason Gardner, Udonis Haslem, CaseyJacobsen, JaredJeffries, Jason Kapono, Steve Logan, Tayshaun Prince, Rush and Frank Williams are scoring more points per game than Hinrich's 15.5 overall average.
But do any of them have the ability to control the game like Hinrich, who also averages 4.7 rebounds and 5.7 assists while shooting more than 80 percent from the free-throw line?
Yes, Duke phenom Jason Williams, who along with the Jayhawks' very own Drew Gooden are the only sure bets on the All-America team. After that, it's hard to narrow down the crowded list of exceptional players, except to say that Hinrich at the very least is in the same breath.
Hinrich's numbers aren't as big as Gooden's, who is Kansas' best player, but Hinrich is the team's most valuable asset.
After Kansas switched to a three guard line-up with the addition of freshman Aaron Miles, Hinrich has excelled at pushing the ball up the court and sparking Kansas' offensive attack
And come on, if Hinrich's stylish vernacular continues to soar as much as his game has, he might just pass Gooden as Kansas' most colorful quote. Take for instance, this recent gem after the Texas Tech game:
"Stats are like a bikini," he said. "They shows some things, but they don't show it all."
But it's Hinrich's recent play that has been more jaw-dropping than if Roy showed up on Wescoe Beach in a thong.

Jayhawk bomber burns orange
Jeff Boschee hits two overtime three pointers keeps Kansas perfect in Big 12 Conference
By Doug Pacey Kansan sportswriter
AUSTIN, Texas — As the Jayhawks ran off the court, Keith Langford bounced and gripped Jeff Boschee's shoulders, and, with giant grin, slapped the senior on the back and shouted "What's up dog!?"
Moments earlier, in a rare show of
Moments earlier, emotion, BOSCEe raised his arms in victory and let loose a scream at center court to the 15,495 people at the Frank Erwin Center after No.2 Kansas' 110-103 overtime win against Texas.
M. J. KING
Boschee didn't score the most points, rather, junior forward Drew Gooden totaled 28 after notching just six in the first-half, or hand out the most assists, freshman guard Aaron Miles had a career-high 13, but the senior guard knocked down six of 13 three-pointers and was clutch in overtime.
Leading 102-100, the senior guard drilled a three-pointer while falling backward with Longhorn point guard T.J. Ford's hand waving in his face and all but ended the game.
"I wasn't feeling anything out there," Boschee said. "I had so much
adrenaline running through my body that I felt nothing."
Not a bad thing considering he played with a sprained left thumb, something he said didn't bother him but will be sore tomorrow. Four of Boschee's three-pointers broke tie scores and his first three-pointer in overtime gave the Jayhawks a 99-98 lead after trailing.
"My shot was feeling real good and the guys were setting good screens for me on the perimeter," he said.
one of the performers Kansas (22-2 overall, 11-0 Big 12 Conference) was nearly perfect in the extra period. The Jayhawks made their first four shots and outscored the pesky Longhorns (16-8, 7-4) 14-7 who had hung with Kansas the entire game.
"We were fortunate that they missed some shots in overtime that they had made in regulation," coach Roy Williams said . "And we were fortunate that we made the shots that we did in overtime."
The teams seemed to match each other shot-for-shot in the second-half. The Jayhawks took a 91-85 lead with five minutes left in the game, but the Longhorns tugged and scratched their way to a tie game, 96-96, with 31 seconds left.
"They just made plays," said Kirk Hinrich, who finished with 14 points and sat out most of the second-half because of foul trouble. "They were breaking down penetration and they shot and guarded us pretty well."

Simien solves Kansas' foul woes
By Brent Wasko
Kansan sportswriter
AUSTIN, Texas — Kansas forward Wayne Simien had his best performance as a Jayhawk when his team needed him the most.
With most of the starters in foul trouble, Simien got the opportunity to show how good he could be. His clutch play throughout the contest helped the Jayhawks slip past Texas 110-103 last night at the Frank Erwin Center.
"He was key. That's what is so good
about this team — we have people that can step in and take where people left off," Kansas junior forward Drew Gooden said. "Wayne came in and picked us up."
Gooden, the Jayhawks' leading scorer this season, had a tough time making shots in the first half, hitting just two of his nine shots from the field. He also got into foul trouble, picking up his third foul with 3:12 remaining before halftime and forcing him to sit on the bench more than usual.
place of Gooden and produced. He grabbed four rebounds, nailed a jumper and dunked the ball after coming in for Gooden to close out the half.
Simien stepped onto the floor in
"I think I came out and was real active right from the start," Simien said. "I got into a flow, which was different from other games where I kind of blended into the background. Things just worked out for me tonight."
Simien finished the contest with a career-high 17 points, which was third best on the team. He was one board shy of surpassing his career-high of 11 rebounds.
"I had to come in there and pick up the team," Simien said. "Coach challenged me, and I think I stepped up the challenge. I had the support of my teammates to motive me."
The season started out rough on Simien, who sat out the Jayhawks' first five games with a knee injury. He slowly worked his way back in the lineup, but never got the opportunity to perform like he did against Texas. He ended up playing a season-high 19 minutes against the Longhorns.

Baseball team to open season with added offensive power
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
Take a step outside into the chilly February weather, and you wouldn't think it was time for baseball in Lawrence.
Nevertheless, the Kansas baseball team opens its 2002 season today at 3 p.m. against Ottawa at Hoglund Ballpark.
Hogland Bampink.
"We're looking forward to getting it going," junior shortstop Casey Spanish said. "We're looking forward to surprising a lot of people. I'm really optimistic."
Being one of the northernmost teams in the Big 12 Conference, the Jayhawks are one of the last teams to kick off the season. Texas Tech's first game was on Jan. 24, and it has already compiled a 6-3 record.
"It's certainly an advantage to get outside," coach Bobby Randall said. "They'll be ahead of us, but we'll catch up. I don't know if I would want to start that early even if I could."
The Jayhawks are coming off a 26-30 record in 2001. Though they struggled against Big 12 teams, they were 19-7 against non-conference opponents.
Ottawa (0-1), an NAIA school, hasn't defeated Kansas in 11 tries. The two teams' last meeting was in 1999, with the Jayhawks prevailing 10-3 at Hoglund Ballpark.
"We're ready for OU," Randall said. "We look at it as an exhibition game, a game for everybody to get out there and get their feet wet."
"We have more power up and down the lineup than we ever had."
Randall said he was excited about Olson's prospects for the season because the hurler was healthy for the first time.
Senior pitcher Dan Olson will start on the mound against the Braves. Olson, coming off of arm surgery, pitched just 11 innings last season, compiling a 1-3 record.
Run support for Olson could come from added power in the Kansas lineup. Last season's squad hit just 22 home runs, the fewest since 1978. Junior designated hitter Pat Holmes, a transfer from San Jacinto North CC, and sophomore second baseman Ryan Baty, returning from a shoulder injury, are expected to contribute a much-needed punch to the lineup.
"We have more power up and down the lineup than we ever had," Randall said. "A lot of that's maturity."
Junior outfielder Jason Appuhn is still recovering from shoulder surgery and is not expected to play today.
- Ottawa played Northwestern Oklahoma last weekend, losing 4-0. Kansas is the only NCAA opponent it will face this year.

Today's Birthday (Feb. 12).
Although you start out with great promise, you run into a challenge later. It could be partially because of your success. Don't let money change you or drive a wedge between you and a friend. Always remember that love is more important.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is an 8. You usually talk about anything, but there's a growing tendency to keep your feelings hidden. Are you getting shy, or is there somebody you want to protect? It's OK. Your friends will understand.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 6. You may have felt like the weight of the world was on your shoulders. It'll soon lighten. You still have some problems to solve, but you have friends who want to help.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is an 8.
Being a Gemini, you probably know at least two or three languages already. This could be a key to more income — there seems to be a direct link between money and another language.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 6.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a:
A gentle friend who's far away would love to hear from you. You haven't called for ages, but that's all right. You're always forgiven, and that love you shared is still there. Go ahead and call this person.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is an 8.
Be practical when you attend the meeting about how to spend the money. Your partner has nearly made up his or her mind, but your input is important. You'll notice something he or she overlooked. Speak up.
Virgo (Aug, 23-Sep, 22). Today is a 6. The worst is over. You made it through. You're tougher now, soon to become more confident. You may also be tired. Tonight, sleep well.
Libre (Sent 23-Oct 22) Today is an 8.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is an 8:
Three things have been pretty easy for you. Don't be lulled into thinking I'll always be this way.
Your workload is about to increase. Taking care of others is your top priority for right now.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 6.
Everything is constantly changing, and for you, the change is for the better. Your intuition, which is always good, is becoming more acute. Follow this keen intuition to get the support you need while you can.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 6.
Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec. 21). Today is an 8. Think of the time, money and effort that you put into your education as a long-term investment. It will continue to pay dividends for years. Yes, that's the permission you needed to go buy that book, tape or computer program.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.19). Today is a 7. A gentle person enjoys your company, and you'd benefit from a sympathetic listener. Spring for lunch or dinner. A meal with this person will be much cheaper than counseling.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is an 8.
You like to keep your mind on lofty things.
You don't like to get gogged down with practical details. It's not a bad idea to do that now, however. It can make or save you some money.

Picces ( Feb. 19, 2017) You're getting stronger, and you're probably starting to worry less. All that work you've done is paying off, sometimes in unexpected ways. Keep at it, and things will get even better.

LaFrentz courted by teams as trading deadline nears
The Lakers don't have to travel to the frenzied bandbox known as Arco Arena until March 24. The teams will meet one more time after that — on the final night of the season, April 17.
PHILADELPHIA — Former University of Kansas basketball star Raef LaFrentz may wear a new uniform after the NBA's Feb. 21 trading deadline.
The Associated Press
A total of four deals involving 22 players went down on deadline day last year, including the blockbuster that sent Dikembe Mutombo from Atlanta to Philadelphia and helped propel the 76ers to the NBA Finals.
There aren't a lot of 7-foot-2 centers to be had this time around, although there is one center — Denver's LaFrentz — who is atop the Most Likely To Be Dealt list.

The Nuggets have been shopping LaFrentz and point guard Nick Van Exel around the league, and the Portland Trail Blazers have emerged as the leading contender to acquire
Portland is willing to send Damon Stoudamire and Bonzi Wells to the Nuggets for LaFrentz and Van Exel, but the Nuggets want a big man back in return and will likely press for Dale Davis to be included in the swap. Denver would toss Tariq Abdul-Wahad into the deal to make it work under salary cap rules.

Bryant and the two-time defending champion Los Angeles Lakers are 2 1/2 games behind the Sacramento Kings in the Pacific Division, and their remaining schedule includes a five-game Eastern road trip later this month and a four-game swing to the East in early April.
The Indiana Pacers, along with at least three other teams, are also chasing LaFrentz.
While LaFrentz is enjoying popularity, Kobe Bryant won't be booed again for at least six weeks.
No, he's not returning to Philly. But he does have an upcoming trip to Sacramento.

America dominates snowboarding competition
Winter Games heats up as U.S. snags three more medals
SALT LAKE CITY — Three if by snowboard, one if by sled.
The Associated Press
The U.S. snowboarders — the kiddie corps suddenly creating the big Winter Olympics buzz — scored an across-the-board sweep yesterday, flying to gold, silver and bronze in the halfpipe before a wildly enthusiastic Utah crowd of 30,000.
In the luge, 35-year-old Georg Hackl — who prefers Heineken to the halfpipe — piloted his sled to a silver medal, the record-setting fifth straight games where the German has ascended the medal stand.
In Park City, Ross Powers proved the gnarliest of the U.S. snowboarders, easily soaring to the gold. He stood on the medals platform, his snowboard raised high over his head, before inviting his teammates — silver medalist Danny Kass and bronze medal winner J.J. Thomas — to join him.
It was the first U.S. sweep of medals in a Winter Olympics' event since men's figure skating in 1956. And it came one day after Kelly Clark won America's first gold medal in the women's halfpipe.
The chants of "U.S.A., U.S.A., U.S.A," were deafening as the Americans flew 10 and 15 feet above the hollowed-out snow chute. The U.S. team took four of the top six spots, with Tommy Czeschin finishing sixth despite a run that many in
the crowd deemed medal-worthy.
Rowers, the oldest of the three medal winners at 21, had taken a bronze in Nagano. Thomas is just 20, and Kass is 19.
The Americans now have six medals — four from the snowboarding "Gen X" contingent — as the squad seeks to better its Winter Games high of 13 medals.
The U.S. team sits atop the medal board with Austria, while Germany has five medals.
LUGE: It looked a little strange: Georg Hackl standing in the spot reserved for the silver medalist.
After three straight Olympic gold medals, the German luger's decade of Winter Games dominance ended yesterday when he settled for a silver medal — finishing behind gold medalist Armin
Zoeggeler of Italy.
Hackl did not appear upset by his near-miss at winning an unprecedented fourth straight gold in the same Winter Olympics event. He still won a medal in a record-setting fifth games, he applauded Zoeggler's winning effort, and his temporary Utah home has a refrigerator full of his beloved German beer.
Markus Prock of Austria, a 10-time World Cup champion, won the bronze. America's 38-year luge dry spell continued as Adam Heidt finished fourth, the best singles finish in U.S. team history.
DOWNHILL: After waiting four years for a shot at a third Olympic medal. U.S. skier Picabo Street had to wait another day.
Whipping winds at the top of the Wildflower course, 9.016
feet up Mount Ogden, led Olympic organizers to postpone the women's downhill, now expected to take place today.
Street hopes to become the first American woman to win three Olympic skiing medals. She captured a downhill silver in 1994 and a super-G gold in 1998.
BIATHLON: Andrea Henkel, a 24-year-old German, won her first Olympic medal with a gold in the women's 15-kilometer biathlon. The silver went to Liv Grete Poiree of Norway, while Magdalena Forsberg of Sweden
the most successful female biathlete in history won her first Olympic medal with a bronze.
In the men's 20-kilometer race, Ole Einar Bjoerndalen of Norway won the gold medal. Frank
Luck of Germany won the silver and Victor Malgourov of Russia won the bronze.
CURLING: America's curling team, which finished fourth in Nagano, opened its Salt Lake City bid by upselling the defending world champion, Sweden. The 10-5 victory came after team skipper Tim Somerville hit a tremendous shot late in the game.
In other first round play in the 10-team tournament, Finland defeated Denmark, 9-3, Germany topped France, 9-5 and Canada, the 2000 world champion, edged Britain 6-4.
WOMEN'S HOCKEY:
Canada, the defending silver medalist, opened the Olympic women's hockey tournament with a 7-0 victory over Kazakstan. Natalya Trunova made 59 saves for Kazakstan in the losing effort.

Tom Green, Mariah Carey favorites for worst actor, actress "honors"
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Tom Green got fingered by the Razziies, a movie-award spoof that singled out his Freddy Got Fingered with a leading eight nominations, including worst picture of last year.
joining Green's tacky comedy in the worst-picture category were Sylvester Stallone's racing flick Driven, Mariah Carey's pop-star bomb Glitter, the war epic Pearl Harbor and Kevin Costner's Elvis-impersonator heist thriller 3000 Miles to Graceland.
Contenders for the 22nd annual Razziies, organized by the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation, were announced yesterday. a day before Oscar nominations come out. Razzie "winners" will be announced March 23, the eve of the Academy Awards ceremony.
Green and Stallone tied for most individual nominations with four each. The foundation's
500 members cited Green for worst actor, director, screenplay and worst screen couple ("Tom Green and any animal he abuses").
"The movie has no redeeming value," Wilson said. "If his point was to be offensive and stupid and obnoxious, then my gosh, he made a masterpiece. But then, it still is offensive and stupid and obnoxious."
Stallone was nominated for worst supporting actor, screenplay and screen couple (with costar Burt Reynolds) and shares the worst-picture nomination as a producer of Driven. Named worst actor of the century by the Razzies in 2000, Stallone holds the group's record with 29 nominations and nine "wins."
Up against Green for worst actor are Ben Affleck, Pearl Harbor; Costner, 3000 Miles to Graceland; Keanu Reeves for
both Hardball and Sweet November; and John Travolta for Domestic Disturbance and Swordfish. Travolta received worst-actor dishonors last year for Battlefield Earth and Lucky Numbers.
Carey is the clear favorite for worst actress, named on 93.3 percent of the nominating ballots, Wilson said. The singer's cleavage also was nominated for worst screen couple.
Other worst-actress nominees are Penelope Cruz (Blow, Captain Corelli's Mandolin, Vanilla Sky), Angelina Jolie (Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, Original Sin), Jennifer Lopez (Angel Eyes, The Wedding Planner) and Charlize Theron (Sweet November).
Besides Green, worst-director nominees are Michael Bay for Pearl Harbor, Peter Chelsom (with Warren Beatty) for Town & Country, Vondie Curtis Hall for Glitter and Renny Harlin for Driven.

With 15 seconds remaining, Miles passed the ball to Hinrich and the junior guard surveyed the court from the top of the three-point arc and drove toward the hoop. But Texas' defense collapsed on him and he fumbled the ball, but regained it and attempted a shot. The ball fell
"We were trying to get the ball inside," Hinrich said. "But I bobbled it and I went up and thought I could get contact, I thought I got it, but that's how it goes."

Gooden said the team has expected big things out the freshman all season — it was just a matter of time before Simien's numbers improved.
"We know that he is going to be a great player here," Gooden said. "We know that we can rely on him to step up."
Simien's strong performance came on a night when most of the Kansas big men had a tough time battling Texas inside the paint. The Jayhawks racked up 22 fouls, which tied for a season-high. Two starters had four fouls and the others finished with three.
"It was physical, but not more
than any other game," Simien said. "It's the type of conference we're playing in. We have to expect that."
Goodenhad trouble establishing position inside. He had to shoot the ball farther away from the basket. He said he the problems caused by the physical play was difficult to overcome.
"There referees letus play," hesaid.
"I didn't agree with some calls, but nobody is perfect. It was as tough a game as we have played."
"It was a pretty big showing match in there," he said. "I was just trying to stay on the block. It was easier for me to stay physical
with them inside because I was fresh off the bench."

The Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — With a collision, a close finish and a scoring controversy, the Russians once again won gold in pairs figure skating. The Canadians went home sore and shocked with silver.
Russians win skating gold
Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze extended Russia's dominance Monday night by the slimmest of margins over Canada's Jamie Sale and David Pelletier. One judge, from China, favored the Russians in a tiebreaker.
It was clear whom the crowd thought won as it chanted "Six, Six" after the Canadian world champions finished their routine. And many fans booed as Pelletier waved his hand in disgust when the scoreboard showed Russia had won Olympic gold for the 11th straight games.
"When you skate your best and come in second, it is difficult," said Sale, who recovered from a collision with Sikharulidze during warmups. "It shook me up... It was kind of
She said the collision "hurt my stomach." Pelletier was sore for another reason.
a nightmare. I just said, 'This is my ice, my time.' I went out and fought to the very end."
"I can't lie, it is disappointing to come in second," he said as tears rolled down his partner's face.
When Sikharulidze and Sale collided,it sent her sprawling to the ice on her hands and knees. But each team shook off the mishap to skate superbly.
China's Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo won the bronze medal.
American champions Kyoko Ina and John Zimmerman finished fifth but said the performance was "the greatest thing we've ever done."
The Russians collected seven 5.9s for artistry, with the 5.9 from the Chinese judge making the difference — and ensuring a Russian or Soviet pair has won every gold medal since 1964.
"The accident before the performance didn't affect it," Berezhna said.
The winners made one error when Sikharulidze stepped out
of a double axel. But their skill for skating in unison and the passion of their program, to "Meditation," won over enough judges — if not the crowd.
The Canadians, who had won their last nine competitions, then responded with a spectacular mistake-free performance to "Love Story" that included two huge jump jumps.
They didn't, however, get the 6.0s the fans sought, and only four 5.9s for artistry, leaving them in second.
The gold climaxed a long, sometimes distressing climb for Berezhnaya-Sikharulidze, who finished second at the 1998 Games and then won two world titles.
In 2000, Berezhnaya failed a drug test, which she said was caused by over-the-counter cold medicine. They withdrew from the world championships, then were suspended for three months by the International Skating Union and striped of their European crown.
The Russians also skipped last month's European championships because of his leg injury.

THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
WEDNESDAY

WWW.KANSAN.COM
ISSUE 92 VOLUME 112
An opinion column ("Loss of color guard at games disrespects American flag") by Robert Chamberlain published in yesterday's University Daily Kansan omitted several facts.
CLARIFICATION
Chamberlain said the KU Color Guard was no longer presenting the flag before basketball games because "the cadets and midshipmen who present the flag sometimes disrupt the game schedule by 45 seconds — or sometimes even by a minute and a half."
Yesterday, Richard Konzem, associate athletics director, added that the decision to temporarily suspend the color guard was made after the color guard failed on four or five occasions to coordinate the presentation of the flag with the start of the game.
Konzem said at least two e-mails and three phone calls with leaders of ROTC preceded the decision. He said that when the decision was made members of ROTC said that they had understood the decision and hoped the Athletics Department would consider using the color guard again in the future.
BUDGET CUTS
In response to Chamberlain's statement that fans should not "cheer for a man who won't go to bat for the flag," Konzem said Kansas men's basketball coach Roy Williams started an initiative last year that asked All Big 12 Conference teams to stay on the court for the National Anthem
The Kansan, while acknowledging that Robert Chamberlain is entitled to his opinion, apologizes to Williams and the Athletics Department for not giving them an opportunity to comment in the original column. Read tomorrow's Kansan for a more in-depth story detailing why the color guard was suspended.
Dean meeting lets Fine Arts students give budget ideas
AARONLERNER/KANSAN
Fine Arts students had a chance last night to do something no other schools have yet offered in the midst of the University's budget crunch.
Students met with Toni-Marie Montgomery, dean of the School of Fine Arts, to discuss what they wanted the school to do with its money if tuition is increased next semester. About 30 people attended the discussion at room 103 in Murphy Hall.
"I think it's really important that Fine Arts has engaged its students to find out what they think," said Vickie Hamilton-Smith, assistant to the dean. "The other schools aren't having this type of discussion."
By Maggie Koerth Kansan staff writer
Montgomery said she wanted the discussion to be a chance for students to give her a wish list of things they would like money to be spent on.

Chancellor Hemenway lobbies the House Education and Legislative Budget Committee at the state capital yesterday about the future of state funding for higher education. Hemenway said the decisions made here would affect future college students.
Chancellor warns state committee
University could suffer 'ill effects'
By Cassio Furtado
Kansan senior staff writer
TOPEKA — Chancellor Robert Hemenway told the Kansas Legislature yesterday the University of Kansas had never been in greater peril.
Hemenway testified in front of eight legislators on the House Education and Legislative Budget Committee and said the University would need $15.4 million more next year to maintain its current level of services.
He said even though legislators were confronted with incredible challenges to approve a budget on the eve of a $426 million shortfall for the 2003 fiscal year, which begins July 1, the University needed their support.
support "Unavoidable costs won't go away simply because the state chooses to ignore them." Hemenway told the legislators.
If the state chose to ignore these costs, the chancellor said the University would suffer what he called "ill effects" and "irreversible damage."
"These could include layoffs of existing staff, fewer or more-crowded classes ... and we're going to have to
shut down some academic and outreach programs," Meneway said.
Rep. Ralph Tanner, R-Baldwin City and a former president of Baker University, said he was also frustrated by the prospects for next year's budget.
He said the chances of continuing to pay for SB 345, a Senate bill that provides additional money for faculty salaries, were pretty slim.
Besides the $15.4 million, Hemenway also sought the renewal of SB 345 and a 4.5 percent operating grant increase proposed by the Board of Regents.
"Learning doesn't take a holiday. Knowledge doesn't take a year off," Hemenway said. "At KU alone, the level of state appropriations per student, adjusted for inflation, has declined over the past 15 years," he said.
But Tanner, the most vocal member of the committee, said the amount of money the state gave the University per student was adequate.
After the hearing, Hemenway said he still hoped to get a budget that would "hold the University harmless." He said the questions from members of the committee showed
they were concerned with higher education, but added he couldn't tell whether that concern would give him the money he asked for.
Hemenway said the Legislature shouldn't use a tuition increase as an excuse not to give the University adequate funding.
"If we pay more tuition, will the Legislature use it as an excuse not to fund the institution?" he asked the legislators.
Tanner asked Hemenway to be patient with the Legislature and said the solution to University's problems would be a partnership.
Provost David Shulenburger said he would meet with the Board of Regents tomorrow to determine a timeline of when the University should come up with a tuition plan. The provost has met more than 20 times with KU students to explain tuition increase plans and to receive their input.
The Legislature will likely come up with a budget for next year in April, at the end of the legislative cycle.

Emerson Biggins plans to start brewing beer
By Mike Gilligan Kansan staff writer
A tour of the beers of Lawrence will soon have to include a stop at Clinton Parkway and Kasold Drive.
and Rascal Driver
Emerson Biggins Sports Bar And Grill,
3512 Clinton Pkwy., plans to begin brewing
and selling its own beer this spring.
Emerson Biggins is located in the former Sports Page Brewery building, and all the brewing equipment is still there.
"We were planning on brewing beer since we opened," Scott Bentley, general manager of Emerson Biggins, said.
An inspection by federal authorities is the last step before brewing begins. Before the bar can begin brewing, the equipment must be inspected and approved by agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
"The ATF is coming out for their final inspection on Feb. 20," Bentley said. "We don't have a definite date yet, but we hope to begin brewing soon after that."
Bentley has hired Michael McMahon as head brewer at Emerson Biggins. McMahon is currently head brewer at Mill Creek Brewery & Restaurant, 4050 Pennsylvania Ave., in Kansas City. He has brewed beer for more than seven years.
McMahon said the restaurant would start by brewing five different beers.
the flavors will be Unfiltered Wheat, Amber Ale, Raspberry Wheat, a stout and a lager.
McMahon plans on following the Reinheitsgebot, a German purity law from 1516, to brew his beers.
"The law says only three ingredients may be used in the brewing of beer," McMahon said. "Those are malt, hops, and water."
Yeast is added to the ingredients to make the beer but other additives, such as corn syrup, are not allowed.
McMahon said most commercial brewers such as Anheuser-Busch use corn syrup or other additives in the brewing process.
Emerson Biggins is not located in downtown Lawrence, but Bentley said the location is advantageous for brewing beer and attracting customers.
"We are close to the sports complex so that will be good for business on Sundays," he said. "And being out of downtown and easier to get to is an advantage, also."
Debbie Fey, manager of Free State Brewing Company, said she welcomes other breweries and hopes they do well.
"They're on a side of town that doesn't really compete with us," Fey said. "Competition is not really an issue."
Free State Brewing Company has four beers it brews all the time as well as three or four specialty beers it brews occasionally.
Kyle Christensen, Wichita senior, said he liked the idea of another brewery.
"It's going to be hard to compete with Free State, but it will be nice to try new beers," he said.
Brown Bear Brewing Company, 729 Massachusetts St., no longer brews its own beer, leaving Free State Brewing Company as the only brewer in town.

Firstar bank robber sentenced, medical treatment recommended
Kansan staff writer
By Rachel Keesee
A Lawrence man convicted of a November 2000 bank robbery was sentenced yesterday in U.S. District Court in Topeka.
Paul Lee was sentenced to 21 months in jail followed by two years of supervised release.
Lee attempted to rob Firstar Bank, 900 Massachusetts St., at 12:30 p.m. on Nov. 30, 2000. He walked in wearing a ski mask and carrying a BB gun, and told a receptionist he wanted to make a withdrawal.
The receptionist took Lee to the bank
About an hour later, police entered the bank and Lee voluntarily surrendered to police custody.

He was released on bond on May 21, and pleaded guilty the following October.
Police later said that Lee had no explosives and was carrying an empty BB gun.
Ronald Wurtz, Lee's attorney, said Lee had no intent to harm anyone and asked

the judge for a reduced sentence.
Lucy Schuler, a psychiatrist from Colmery-O'Neil Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Topeka, said yesterday she had made a mental health assessment of Lee when she met him last June. She said he had post-traumatic stress disorder, a learning disability, attention deficit disorder and was bipolar. She said he was being treated for the conditions.
"He will commit no further crime," Wurtz said. "He's going to do what the probation office tells him to do — to the letter. And his family will help him do it."
"Without support from medical professionals, he would do poorly," Schuler said. "I would like to have him continue
Wurtz said Lee needed his family's help and suggested he be placed in a medical center to which his family could have access.
Judge Sam A. Crow said the judicial branch would not determine where Lee would serve his time.

"I'll recommend that the defendant be imprisoned where he can receive medical treatment," Crow said. "I will recommend he be imprisoned in a hospital-type facility."

Former Enron top official pleads fifth
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Vilified by lawmakers as a con man who betrayed Americans' trust, former Enron chairman Kenneth Lay expressed "profound sadness" yesterday about the impact of Enron's financial collapse on investors and employees but rejected pleas to testify about it.
He conceded that his silence may cause some to believe he has something to hide.
Lay told a packed Senate hearing that he was "deeply troubled" by asserting his constitutional right under the Fifth Amendment not to answer questions about the financial dealings that led to Enron's bankruptcy — a collapse that devastated thousands of workers and investors and rattled Wall Street.
"It may be perceived by some that I have something to hide," Lay told the Senate Commerce Committee. He said he would make a similar declaration should he be directed to appear at any future congressional hearings.
Lay became the fifth executive plus a senior auditor at the Arthur Andersen accounting firm — to declare his silence by pleading the Fifth. Among them was Andrew Fastow, Enron's former chief financial officer who was at the heart of a series of complex partnerships that investigators say led to Enron's downfall in the largest corporate bankruptcy ever.
William Powers, the University of Texas law school dean who headed Enron's internal investigation into the collapse, told the committee "there's substantial evidence" that former
Enron chief executive Jeff Skilling "was involved" in some of the partnership dealings, beyond what he acknowledged in congressional testimony last week.
Appearing under subpoena, Lay sat stoically for more than an hour as one senator after another chastised him, declaring he had violated Americans' basic trust by allowing his company to mislead investors. If he didn't know, he was dramatically out of touch; if he knew, he should have done something about it, they maintained.
"Obviously Mr. Lay, the anger here is palpable," said Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass.
Lay is the longtime friend of President Bush and his family, and one of the Republican Party's biggest financial benefactors.

Interfraternity Council wants greek votes for more senators
At the meeting of the Interfraternity Council last night, the general assembly passed a petition to include residents of fraternities and sororites in the off-campus constituency of Student Senate.
Chapter representatives discussed the rule for off-campus representation, which allows only those who live off campus but are not in a fraternity or sorority to vote for off-campus senators.
IFC Most representatives said they thought that this was discrimination toward greek students.
Representatives also passed a petition in favor of a responsible and moderate tuition increase.
"Basically we're excluded from having any representation for our greek residential area," said Andy Knopp, IFC president and Manhattan sophomore.
After discussing how higher tuition might affect membership levels at fraternities and sororities, representatives passed a petition supporting a $30 million per-year increase in annual tuition dollars, which is the smallest of the increases that KU administrators are considering proposing to the Board of Regents.
The IFC proposed in the petition that upperclassmen would pay an increase of $5 per credit hour, per year and that underclassmen would pay an increase of $10 per credit hour, per year.

FBI says environmentalist group is top domestic threat
WASHINGTON — A radical environmental group that has carried out 600 attacks since 1996 has become the largest and most active U.S.-based terrorist group, the FBI's top domestic terrorism officer said yesterday.
But a House committee's efforts to shed light on the Earth Liberation Front and its companion, the Animal Liberation Front, were frustrated when former ELF spokesman Craig Rosebraugh refused to answer questions from members of Congress.
Senate asks Bush to place conditions on aid to Middle East
WASHINGTON — The Senate's senior Democrat proposed yesterday that the Bush administration place stipulations its $5 billion in annual U.S. military and economic aid to Israel and Egypt on their efforts toward peace in the Middle East.
With peacemaking shelved in a cycle of violence, Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia said, U.S. aid is "being squandered" and should not be doled out "no questions asked."
"It is time to put some strings on our assistance to countries in the Middle East," Byrd told Secretary of State Colin Powell during a Senate Budget Committee hearing.
Aid to Israel should be conditioned on evidence of progress toward peace, and aid to Egypt should be based on a willingness to pressure Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, the senator said.

Members from Kappa Kappa Gamma and Pi Beta Phi practice routines for Rock Chalk Revue. Some performers spend as much as 30 hours a week preparing for the March show.
Revue performers give hearts, waking hours
By Caroline Boyer Kansan staff writer
Ali Cernich has budgeted her time the past few weeks, balancing her top priorities with her rehearsals for Rock Chalk Revue.
renewal services for schools
"Every day I have to schedule out schoolwork and practice, and then the job I have with my sorority, I have to juggle those three things," said Cernich, Leawood sophomore and Pi Beta Phi member.
Since January 18, she and about 300 other students have devoted almost all their time outside class to the Rock Chalk Revue. Angela Agustin, Wichita senior and executive director for Rock Chalk, said she knew the commitment to the revue could take a toll on participants.
"During Rock Chalk, everyone makes a joke that they're going to flunk out," Agustin said. "But I think most people are able to prioritize and deal with it."
Amy Lee, Topeka junior and director for Delta Gamma sorority, said she worked on the revue for about 30 hours per week. She said she was taking 17 hours at the start of the semester but dropped one of her classes due to time constraints.
Lee said directional duties had cut down her free time. She said she had averaged about three hours of sleep each night for the past few weeks.
"I usually start my homework around midnight," Lee said. "I've probably put more work into this than I've ever put into anything."

As executive director, Agustin must be present at every rehearsal. Groups have rehearsals from 5 to 10 p.m. weekdays and 1 to 8:30 p.m. on weekends. She said she spent about 35 to 40 hours per week working on the revue.

Suzy Kujawa, Alpha Chi Omega director, said last year's Rock Chalk raised a record $50,000 for the United Way, creating some pressure to match or surpass that amount this year.
Kujawa, Atchison junior, said she thought this was part of why people were working so hard this year.
"It's not just like a full-time job where you have 40 set hours

Club helps bring students together
By Melissa Shuman Kansan staff writer
The new Study Abroad Club wants to connect international students with American students who want to travel.
Agnes Remond, a graduate student from France, helped start the club in October.
"I felt like there was an image that international students only hung out with international students," she said, "I wanted to get more involved with American culture."
culture. The club is committed to helping American and international students have positive cross-cultural experiences, said Jennifer Mallett, Topeka sophomore and Study Abroad Club vice president.
"We all think it's important to let people know about other cultures and studying abroad is a way to do that," Mallett said, "I think students can relate to other students a little better than advisors."
Matt Gassen, Topeka junior and public relations co-director for the club, said he wished the club existed before he studied in Switzerland last year.
"I wish I could have talked to other people before I went abroad so I could have known what not to do," he said.
Tracie Souter, ambassador of International Student and Scholar Services, studied in Italy last summer. She said that student-to-student relations help when traveling abroad.
"The office of Study Abroad tries to orientate you, but it had an administrative feel," said Souter, Derby graduate student. "I wished I knew how not to stand out like a stupid American."
The ISSS has a program that allows international students to speak to students in Lawrence public schools, and the Study Abroad Club wants to start a similar program.
"Not so many Americans have
the funding to go abroad, so you can bring 'abroad' here," Souter said.
Mallett said that sharing cultural experience was important for kids to fully understand current world events.
"We want children to start knowing about different cultures at an early age. It helps keep their minds open," she said.
The club is planning activities such as a Valentine's Day international candy party and an international scavenger hunt in March.
Souter said any involvement with American students was beneficial for an international student's experience.
"I think everyone takes pride in their country anytime they get to share information about it," she said.

However, Montgomery refused to comment on the design common shop closing. She said she wanted to set up another time when she could talk to students about that.
montgomery said the idea for the discussion grew out of a comment made by a student at last semester's Fine Arts tuition dialogue, who wanted to know what would be done with the leftover money once the state's deficit had been covered.
"At the time it was just a big question mark," she said.
Mike Klodginsky, St. Louis senior, told the dean about the
Students gave Montgomery a list of issues to consider that included basic upkeep of equipment, the hiring of more teachers and the creation of a new major such as photography.

Larry Goltz, Highland Park
Ill., senior and Fine Arts student senator, helped coordinate the forum. He was one of the three music and dance students in attendance. Goltz said he spoke with Montgomery about his department's wish list after the meeting.
"Basically, what we're wanting is just more and better practice space," he said. "Undergrad performance space is also an issue, because, right now, there's only one room really set up for that."
Montgomery said wish list idea funding was contingent upon tuition increases. Once that is approved, the provost would make allocations to the School of Fine Arts.

POINT-COUNTERPOINT
Sex education: Bring it on or just say no
Classes should address emotions, not just anatomy, condoms, STDs
Have you ever felt emotionally betrayed by someone you've been physically intimate with? Or has it ever felt awkward sterilizing the act of making love with latex or chemicals?
Sex education is more than learning how the genitals function and how to put on a condom. It encompasses all aspects of life, including the psychological, emotional and moral implications of premarital sex. Therefore, abstinence should be taught with equal emphasis in sex-education classes in middle and high school.
The responsible choice of abstinence has many advantages that are not promoted by our educators or really presented as an option for many of today's teens. A 1996 study, for example, found that when parents divorce, the children place less value on marriage and find premarital sex more acceptable.
Abstinence education is based on a way of life that provides one with a sense of freedom, and some studies show that Americans want more of it; a survey conducted by a Colorado Christian ministry in 2000 shows that 94 percent of parents want schools to address the pressure to have sex and the emotional consequences of becoming sexually active.
Abstinence education should include testimonies from sexually promiscuous victims and couples who share the dynamics of marriage and what sex means to them. In fact, there are a few studies indicating that couples having the most satisfying sex are in a monogamous, marital relationship. These facts need to be heard by today's youth if our culture is to remain sustainable.
President Bush has realized this disparity in sex education and has properly allocated more money in his budget proposal for abstinence education to inform our youth fairly on this crucial issue. The tragic results of "sexual liberation" and licentiousness
Teaching abstinence discourages the exploitation meted up upon young lives by constant American sensationalism. Our sexual views are formed from our precious experiences, natural impulses and stories from those who are mature and have great sex. It requires more genuine verbal communication than non media leads us to believe.
have spread across our society, producing epidemics of abortion, STDs and illegitimate children, with all the accompanying social pathologies including school problems, drug and alcohol abuse and crime. If both partners have refrained from premarital sex, the chance for spreading HIV or STDs is lessened.
Modern pragmatism
President George W. Bush's budget proposal makes it clear that he doesn't want unmarried people to have sex. He proposed that more be spent teaching them to "just say no to sex."
Learning how to stay safe cannot give way to 'no sex' education
argues that kids are going to do it away, so we right as well give them information and access to contraceptives. Freshmen should be informed of the advantages of refraining from sex — instead of free n-donations donate in VS SEX
America is already sexually represSED Peop' afraid seen conceive us
safety. If you're going to have sex, then you can take the responsibility of buying your own condoms.
Undertaking sexual activity thoughtfully means asking questions — and listening carefully to the answers — before leaping into bed with someone. Along with contraception, educators need to teach taking responsibility for our sexual lifestyle and choosing with whom we want to share the most intimate physical experience. Old fashioned wisdom says abstinence makes the heart grow fonder.
This is a terrible idea.
STDs and irresponsible behavior are the problem not sex
Tim Lang for the editorial board.
intrusion in this area is also unhealthy. Sex education should be an objective open dialogue that doesn't condemn a lifestyle.
in personal matters such as sexuality, people have a right to be left alone by their government. They have the right and responsibility to make their own choices, whether that means waiting until vows are exchanged to have sex.
Government
Consider lessons learned from government efforts to keep alcohol out of the hands of youth.
In countries where alcohol is less regulated, more people grow up with a healthy attitude
about drinking.
In America where drinking is taboo and punished for those under the age of 21, alcohol is badly abused. "Getting wasted" is part of the student culture. The goal should be a healthy attitude, not government regulation.
Making something taboo does not promote a healthy attitude. If Prohibition in the 1920s didn't keep people from drinking, why should abstinence education keep people from having sex?
The government needs to concentrate on educating youth. An abstinence-focused health class is an example of government infringing upon the lives of Americans.
Public school teachers should do just that teach, not preach. Promote individual thinking and trust people to make their own choices.
The teaching of sex safe cannot be compromised. Young people need to know the consequences of their actions. The STD videos, stories of unprepared parents and information on abstinence being the safest sex are important to get across. A lot needs to be taught about sexuality.
To take money away from safe-sex education and allocate it to "no-sex" education is a mistake that would compromise the health of Americans.
The purpose of sex education is to make sure the youth of America know how their bodies work and just what is out there. Once the government comes in and imposes its agenda on young Americans — single or married — the education process becomes less effective and more dogmatic.
President Bush means well, and abstinence is not inherently bad. But rather than an unthinking "just say no" mantra, the message should be one of personal responsibility, honesty and respect.
John Roth for the editorial board.
LETTERSTO THE EDITOR
HERITAGE MONTHS STILL NEEDED
Dear editor.
we disagree with most of the articles about students' opinions about having a month dedicated to particular heritages ("History months: progressive or pointless?" Feb. 8). We agree with Laurel Burchfield's opinion that equality should be taught in school, not "difference." However, we disagree with "all people are [not] the same, or even that all individuals are equal for that matter." We are, as it is said, "created equal," however it does not always seem that way. Salary, job opportunities and treatment in society in general point out that to some we are not viewed at as equal. What makes us different — heritage, physical appearance or beliefs — shouldn't be what makes those views.
To have one's heritage acknowledged during a month of the year helps society to look at a culture's history. History started before 1776. Our ancestors were conquistadors, fishermen, Native Americans and farmers from the motherland.
To celebrate one month is to look at history as a stepping stone for the future. We have to look at the history of our country for what it was — divided. To learn about what America was is to learn from it and not repeat it all over again.
The majority of our school history lessons involved Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States. One October learning about one of my ancestors, Hernando De Soto. That was the most I can remember learning to Hispanic Heritage in school. My roommate learned about Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and Rosa Parks as the main characters of black history.
Setting aside a heritage month may be prejudiced in its own way, but schools should teach cultural history in schools. As long as people know of and understand other's cultures we can be one nation and one country united.

RED CROSS BLOOD POLICY
Dear editor.
Regardless of what one thinks of the Red Cross's policy excluding sexually active gay men from donating blood, the Student Rights Committee took the easy way out when they voted down the bill to fund advertising for the KU Blood Drive Feb. 25 through March 1.
It's disappointing that students use this avenue to protest the policy. Actually denying funding for advertising the blood drive is not activism. It's passivism. Not funding ads for this drive will have less affect on the American Red Cross than a letter from each of the students who voted against it. In fact, each person who did vote against the bill soul take the time to do just that. If the issue of discrimination is important enough to them to vote to stop advertising and decrease the number of participants, then it should be important enough to take action.
The only real difference this decision will make is that less people will give blood. Studies show
that Kansan advertising has a direct effect on the amount of blood given. Opponents just don't want to allocate money to something that is unfair.
The blood drive does not exclude gay men from participating. Sexually active gay men can donate their time, talents and services to the blood drive by helping with advertising or volunteering with assistant donors. Senate funded the February Sisters, an organization sponsoring the "Vagina Monologues." While men are excluded from acting in the monologues. Senate decided the group wasn't discriminatory because there were still opportunities for men to participate in other capacities.
The most ironic thing about the discussion was the student body president Justin Mills' speech against the bill. A meager $906 would have been allocated to the blood drive. The "Bring Justin Home" campaign, which raised $30,000 for the American Red Cross, the same organization that administers the "discriminatory sex questions."

Budget plan presented to avert cuts
The Associated Press
TOPEKA—Rep. Bill Reardon, veteran House Democrat, outlined a plan yesterday to raise nearly $316 million to avert some budget cuts and provide extra money for public schools.
He said his proposal would raise taxes for the wealthy while Gov. Bill Graves' plan for $228 million in higher taxes and fees would hit poor Kansans the hardest.
Republicans, who hold majorities in both chambers, said they opposed parts of the plan. But some commended Reardon, D-Kansas City, for offering it.
"I'm glad to see someone's thinking outside the box," said Rep. Doug Mays, R-Topeka.
Reardon proposed raising individual and corporate income taxes as well as taxes on banks and insurance companies. He also said he wanted to reinstate the inheritance tax and let the state use $110 million from its cash reserves.
In addition, he proposed increasing the sales tax by 0.75 percent on the dollar, but exempting food from any tax.
The plan would prevent cuts in social service and higher education programs and allow a $172 per-pupil increase in aid to public schools, to a total $4,042, he said.
The state faces a projected $426 million gap between expected revenues and spending commitments for its 2003 budget year, which begins July 1. Some leaders worry the projected gap could grow to $600 million when revenue estimates are revised in March.
Graves has proposed raising $228 million by increasing sales, cigarette and motor fuels taxes and vehicle registration fees. He and many fellow Republicans object to raising income taxes, saying Kansas' rates are higher than those in surrounding states.
Blue Cross-Blue Shield unsure of proposed sale
TOPEKA — Officials of Blue Cross-Blue Shield of Kansas aren't ready to say whether they will pursue another deal following denial of the company's proposed sale to Anthem Insurance Companies Inc.
The Associated Press
The decision Monday by Kathleen Sebelius, insurance commissioner, drew expressions of disappointment from both Blue Cross and Indianapolis-based Anthem, which continued to defend the transaction.
But groups representing doctors, nurses and poor and working class families were pleased. During hearings on the proposed sale, they had questioned whether it would restrict access to health care.
In rejecting the deal, Sebelius said she believed it would have driven premiums up too much. She said Anthem couldn't show how it would make Blue Cross more efficient and — having promised not to reduce health coverage — would have to rely on higher rates to be profitable.
Blue Cross officials have contended that teaming with Anthem would helped the Kansas company compete in a national market and give it new sources of capital.
The companies could appeal Sebellus' decision in Shawnee County District Court.
"The commissioner's written order must be reviewed," said John Knack, Blue Cross president*
and chief executive officer." I believe that decisions will be made quickly."
Neither company would say definitively Monday whether they will bring another deal before Sebelius, or whether Blue Cross will pursue an acquisition by another company.
"We continue to believe that this type of partnership would be best for Kansas," said Anthem snokeswoman Laura Green-Caldwell.
Anthem, a publicly held corporation, operates former Blue Cross plans in eight states and covers about 7.8 million people.
Blue Cross is owned by its policyholders and has 45 percent of the Kansas health insurance market. It has 172,000 group and individual policies covering 400,000 people, and another 315,000 people work for employers who self-insure but have their plans administered by the Blues.
Anthem planned to pay $190 million to acquire Blue Cross, with at least $142 million of it going to policyholders. Blue Cross would have distributed $151 million of its existing reserves to policyholders as well, meaning they could have received up to $321 million.
But the prospect of Kansas Blue Cross' conversion into an operation of a publicly held, out-of-state corporation drew opposition.
Critics said Anthem would have to increase premiums or cut back on medical coverage to make its new Kansas affiliate more profitable.

"I thought, 'I need to go now,' or I wasn't going to go," said Hurla, who was running in her first race. "That last stretch is the worst. It's a long one."

"I doubt it will ever be an Olympic sport." Minter said.
Spillman, now Lisa Spillman Mesa, won three straight races for Liberal. By rule, three-time winners must retire from further competition.
Minter's time was three seconds better than her winning effort last year in Olney. But she was trounced a year ago by Lisa Spillman, who won the Liberal race in a record 58.1 seconds.

Shrove Tuesday, known in Britain as Pancake Day, traditionally was the last day for merrymaking before the start of Lent. Pancakes were thought to be a good way to consume the fat the faithful were supposed to do without during the period of self-denial.
According to legend, the Olney race started in 1445 when a harassed housewife, rushing to be on time for church, arrived at the service still clutching her frying pan with a pancake in it.
Liberal joined in the friendly rivalry two years later, after seeing a picture of the Olney race in Time magazine.
After a lapse during World War II, the race was revived in 1948.
Liberal leads the series 28-24-1, with one race ruled a draw when a BBC truck blocked the finish line in Olney. The 25th anniversary race in 1994 was not counted toward the total.
Western Resource's debt plan under scrutiny
The Associated Press
piled by Western's Protection One subsidiary.
TOPEKA — The Kansas Corporation Commission plans to conduct a hearing into Western Resource's plan to pay off as much as $1 billion of its nearly $3 billion debt.
an order issued late Monday.
"A full examination is necessary to protect Kansas electric consumers from harm caused by misallocation of debt between and among Western Resources Inc. and its unregulated subsidiaries," the commission said in
The commission said Monday that it wants to determine if Western is tying up its utility assets with more debt. The hearing is scheduled for May 31.
Last July, the commission blocked Western's original restructuring plan, which would have split its utilities and unregulated businesses into separate publicly traded companies. Commissioners said they were concerned that utility consumers would be left paying off debt com-
By late Monday afternoon, the KCC had received 22 letters from legislators, said commission spokeswoman Rosemary Foreman. Rep. Lee Tafanelli, R-Ozawkie, and Rep. Doug Mays, R-Topeka, were among the
Western submitted a new plan in November that critics said was little different from the one the commission rejected. Nearing a deadline to file its new plan with the federal Securities and Exchange Commission, Western asked several legislators to send letters to the KCC urging commissioners not to block or delay the company's filing.
The commission also ordered Western to explain within three days why the pledging of utility assets to secure additional debt didn't violate a previous commission order issued in July. The company also was directed to reveal whether it had sold or transferred utility assets in violation of the order.
"Time is of the essence," wrote Mays, a former Kansas securities commissioner. "Efforts to reduce Westar's debt should not be delayed further."
Western recently renamed its KPL and KGE utilities Westar Energy.
The letter-writing campaign backfired, consumer advocate Walker Hendrix said.
"I'm sure the fact that the company tried to do an end run by organizing legislators struck a raw nerve," said Hendrix, the chief attorney for the Citizens Utility Ratepayers Board, a state agency that represents residential and small business consumers.

Death rate countered by increase in birth rate
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — American women, encouraged by a decade-long economic boom, are having more children than at any other time in the past three decades — 2.1 on average in a lifetime, the government said yesterday.
For the first time since 1971, women are producing enough children to offset deaths in the United States, the National Center for Health Statistics said.
The center reported 4,058,814 births in 2000,the latest year for which figures were available — up 2.5 percent from 1999. It was the first time since 1993 that births topped 4 million.
The report showed increases in the birth rate in 2000 among women of all age groups except teen-agers. Births to 15- to 19-year-olds dropped to 48.5 for every 1,000 women, an all-time low. The teen birth rate was 49.6 in 1999.
"The credit goes to the teens themselves," said Sarah Brown, director of the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. "There are only two ways these rates can go down — less sex and more contraception. There's evidence that these teens are doing both."
"Their financial security was increasing, and they could afford additional children. And then we had this continuing increase in postponed childbearing," NCHS demographer Stephanie Ventura said.
Researchers said the roaring economy of the 1990s was probably a major factor, helping potential parents feel more comfortable about supporting a family.
ventura site.
The national birth total breaks down to an average of 2.13 children for every woman through her childbearing years of 15 to 49. The government uses 2.1 as the figure necessary for a population to fully replace itself.
Researchers believe the strong economy, coupled with a strong fear of sexually transmitted diseases, probably played a role in cutting teen births, which dropped 22 percent in the decade.
The report also found that smoking among pregnant women declined for most age groups, down to 12.2 percent in 2000. That rate has fallen steadily since 1989. The report found 12 percent of babies born to smokers had low birth weight, compared with just 7 percent of babies born to nonsmokers.
Patriotic revelers unfurl their flags at Mardi Gras
NEW ORLEANS — Mardi Gras revelers who filled the streets of New Orleans' French Quarter added a patriotic twist to the debauchery yesterday, mixing red, white and blue with the traditional purple, green and gold of Carnival.
The Associated Press
tional purple gillen and On Bourbon Street, strings of beads — including new red, white and blue necklaces — rained down on young women who bared their breasts.
"I got the really good beads," bragged Joe Chin, 23, of Miami. "I know it's cold, but girls are still happy to show them for these babies."
National Guardsmen patrolled Mardi Gras for the first time, but police said the only direct response to the terrorism alert issued by the FBI on Monday was the posting of the suspected terrorists' photos at police stations.
"Why would terrorists want to break up such a good party?" said Tommy Mitchell, 51, of San Francisco, who wore only a grass skirt and American flag pasties despite the chill. "This is a friendly group. Very friendly."

that usually line the Fat Tuesday parade route through the city's Garden District. Some who did bear the cold pulled their costumes on over sweaters. Others had festive outfits hidden under winter coats festooned with beads and boas.
Although tossing beads and trinkets from the balconies is illegal, police ignore the practice during Carnival. Exposing breasts is also illegal, but arrests are rare.
"I hope my mother doesn't find out how I got these," said Linda Vaccaro, 24, of New York, who warded off the chill with a hurricane, an oversized alcoholic fruit punch.

Christian prisoners held at Guantanamo base
The Associated Press
GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba — Some of the detainees at this American base are not Muslim but Christian, U.S. military officials say, describing inmates as members of a "global community" who in some cases may be sympathetic to groups other than the Taliban or al-Qaida.
"I personally did not expect ... some of the nations that are represented in Camp X-ray," I.t. Col. Bill Costello, a spokesman for the joint task force in charge of the detention camp, said yesterday.
Since the first prisoners arrived from Afghanistan just over a month ago, the number of nationalities represented has risen from a handful to at least 26, with a dozen or more languages and dialects spoken.
gudges and the military is now holding 254 men in cells with walls of chain-link fence at the naval base in eastern Cuba. A handful of translators flown in to help interrogate the detainees and convey their needs has expanded to about two dozen linguists.
U. S. officials have not named all the countries of origin, citing security concerns and requests from governments.
"If I could release the 26 countries that have been affected by the al-Qaida, some of those countries may be shocking to people — the languages, the various backgrounds," Costello said.
The majority are Muslim, but there are Christians among them, Costello said.

Coastal In the most detailed breakdown, a senior Pentagon official said on condition of anonymity last week that when there were 158 detainees at the camp, they included about 50 Saudis, about 30 Yemenis, about 25 Pakistanis, eight Algerians, three Britons and small numbers from Egypt, Australia, France, Russia, Belgium, Sweden and other countries.
Flights bringing detainees from Kandahar resumed last week after being suspended so that U.S. civilian and military authorities could focus on interrogations, and 96 have arrived since. The hastily built temporary detention camp now has 320 cells.

U.S. to triple anti-drug aid to Peru
The Associated Press
LIMA, Peru — The United States will triple anti-drug funding to Peru and hopes to announce the resumption of drug surveillance flights when President Bush visits next month, the U.S. ambassador said yesterday.
Ambassador John Hamilton told reporters that U.S. aid meant to curb drug production and trafficking would increase to more than $150 million in 2002, from about $50 million annually in previous years.
More than $80 million will finance alternative development programs that help Peru's farmers switch from coca, the raw material of cocaine, to other crops including coffee and cacao.
The rest of the aid will support interdiction, drug crop eradication and efforts to reduce demand, including $30 million to "reinforce the fleet of helicopters that are used in the anti-drug fight," he said.
Peru is the world's second largest producer of coca leaf and of coca paste, which is often sent to Colombia for refinement into cocaine. Peruvian gangs have also begun refining cocaine for shipment to the United States via Mexico.
Hamilton said the United States hoped to announce a date for the resumption of drug surveillance flights during Bush's scheduled visit on March 23.
The flights were suspended last April after Peruvian air force jet, working in coordination with a CIA drug surveillance plane, shot down a missionary flight, killing an American woman and her 7-month-old daughter.
The CIA surveillance craft's crew members had identified the missionaries as a suspicious flight, but later realized they were not drug smugglers. They were unable to dissuade the Peruvians from opening fire.
A senior U.S. official said in Washington Monday that the plan to resume the flights
includes new safeguards such as increased training and mandatory Spanish language capability for U.S. pilots and crews. The plan still needs final approval from administration officials.
Hamilton denied speculation in Peruvian media that the increased aid and Bush's visit are meant to draw Peru into the civil war in neighboring Colombia, where guerrillas and paramilitaries make money from the drug trade. The United States is providing Colombia with $1.3 billion to fight drugs under a program called Plan Colombia.
"To say that we're going to involve Peru in Plan Colombia or in the Colombian conflict, that is going too far," Hamilton told Radio-progamas radio station yesterday. "There is no hidden agenda."
U. S. officials have said Bush would discuss trade and combating drug trafficking and terrorism during his visit with Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo.
Pearl reported alive following militant's arrest in Pakistan
The Associated Press
KARACHI, Pakistan — Police arrested a British-born Islamic militant yesterday they say master-minded the kidnapping of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl—the biggest break yet in the quest to free Pearl. An official close to the investigation said the suspect told police that Pearl is alive.
Ahmad Omar Saeed Sheikh, 27, was arrested yesterday afternoon in the eastern city of Lahore, according to Tasneem Noorani, a senior official of Pakistan's Interior Ministry. Saeed was expected to be transferred to Karachi for further questioning.
Following the arrest, police fanned out across this city of 14 million people, raiding homes of suspected Islamic extremists and searching settlements along the bleak and thinly populated Pakistani coast. Police cautioned that rescuing Pearl could still take time.
Saeed's capture followed an intensive, nationwide manhunt and was announced ahead of Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf's meeting today with President Bush in Washington. Musharraf is expected to seek U.S. economic and political support to help combat Muslim extremism in this predominantly Islamic country of 147 million people.
The Pearl kidnapping has been an embarrassment for Musharraf.
who's been trying to dispel Pakistan's image as a hotbed of Islamic fundamentalism. Saeed's arrest is a boost for the Pakistani leader as he meets Bush.
Pearl, 38. the Journal's South Asia bureau chief, disappeared Jan. 23 on his way to meet with contacts. He was believed working on a story about links between Pakistani militants and Richard C. Reid, the man accused of trying to detonate explosives hidden in his sneakers on a Paris-to-Miami flight in December.
Jamil Yousuf, head of a citizen-police liaison committee involved in the investigation, said the bearded, bespectacled Saeed told police that threats to kill Pearl were not carried out. "He's alive. He's OK," Yousuf quoted Saeed as saving of Pearl.
Yousuf said the key break came Monday night with the arrest of a suspect in the capital of Islamabad who gave crucial information. Yousuf did not elaborate.
Several more arrests were reported in Karachi, Rawalpindi and other major cities yesterday.
In Washington. White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said he could not confirm any details about Saeed's arrest or Pearl's reported condition. However, he said that cooperation by Pakistani authorities "has been very strong and very helpful" in the Pearl case.
South Africa wants more AIDS research
The Associated Press
CAPE TOWN, South Africa The health minister maintained yesterday that South Africa needs more research on internationally accepted drugs to combat AIDS before distributing them in public hospitals, defying mounting pressure to make the drugs more widely available.
Several prominent doctors' organizations have joined AIDS activists, church groups and trade unions in urging the South African government to begin distributing the drug nevirapine in state hospitals countrywide, saying its refusal was unethical and illogical.
Nevirapine is approved by the World Health Organization, and studies show it can reduce mother-to-child transmission of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, by as much as 50 percent.
A study last year by the Medical Research Council found that up to 7 million South Africans could die of AIDS by 2010 unless efforts are stepped up to counter the epidemic. Last year, the government estimated 4.7 million South Africans are HIV-positive — one in nine people.
Speculation has been rife in the local media for several weeks that the government was set to change its policy and extend distribution of nevirapine beyond 18 pilot sites.
President Thabo Mbeki had hinted in a state-of-the-nation address Friday that the number of distribution sites may be increased, and pledged to step up the fight against the epidemic.
But yesterday, Health Minister Manto Tshabalala-Msiang said research from the pilot sites still had to be evaluated.
"When you do research, the findings of that research must inform policy," she said. "You don't put the cart before the horse."
The government had committed itself to studying children who had been given nevirapine at pilot sites until they were 1 year old. The oldest child is now 8 months old.
"If one has to analyze policy now, it means we really have not done what we set out to do," the health minister said.
Last year, AIDS activists won a lawsuit compelling the government to begin distributing nevirapine.
The Cape High Court rejected the government's argument that infrastructure and counseling programs were inadequate for the drug to be effectively administered. The government has appealed the ruling.
Data collected at the research sites reinforced the government's concerns, Tshabalala-Msimang said.

Student leads rock group tries to revive '80s hair bands
Jeremy Parker, Manhattan freshman, has put together an 80s-style hair band. "We haven't played any gigs yet," Parker said. "But once the weather gets nice we're going to set up in front of Wescoe."

Over the sound of electric guitars, the band's vocalist speaks:
"In 1986 Syrp 'N' Teen was created by a demon to take over rock music. Unfortunately Syrp 'N' Teen saw that there was rock music and it was good and sacrificed itself only to be resurrected in the dark year of 2002 when their rock was no more."
So begins "The History of Syrp 'N Teen," the self-titled song of a local group that is ensuring that big hair, denim jackets and tight leather pants don't die with 1980s
hair bands such as Def Leppard and Cinderella. Faces in the Crowd
Syrp 'N Teen is the brainchild of Manhattan freshman Jeremy Parker, who formed the group with five of his friends.
Parker said hair bands, named after the large hairdos of the musicians, marked the golden age of rock and roll.
"I feel that's the best form of music," he said. "The music of today just does not measure up to what Cinderella was giving us in 1987."
Parker said that while they did want to be humorous, they also wanted to be serious band.

"I hope people don't think this is a total joke band because we put a lot into it," he said.

Lead singer Josh Dubois, a Manhattan sophomore who is known as "Ricki Flixx" in the band, said the sound of the band was difficult to describe.
"If you take Celine Dion's head and put it on Eddie Van Halen's body, it might sound something like our sound," he said, "but it wouldn't rock as hard."
Under the pseudonym "JP Extreme," Parker plays lead guitar for Syrp 'N' Teen.
The other members are rhythm guitarist Gabe "Killer the Killer" Holcombe, lead bassist Andrew "Hollywood Biberstein" Biberstein, both Manhattan freshmen, rhythm bassist BJ "Egon" Congleton, Manhattan sophomore, and Parker's roommate Arjun Bhat
Chesterfield, Mo., freshman, who is the drummer.
Congleton said that Parker was the driving force behind the band's formation.
"He's the mastermind behind it," he said. "He just thinks on a different level. He's the biggest musician in the band and he was definitely gung-ho about this. We were in this because of him."
were Dacia Lower, Phillipsburg junior and self-described fan of Syrp 'N Teen, said they had a unique sound. She saw them perform at a music festival in Manhattan.

He took piano lessons and played bassoon until he discovered the guitar at age 12.

Show features forms of surrealism
Initially organized by the Tate Modern in London, the exhibit remains in New York, its final
"There's so much more than Dali, the figure who remains caught in the web of the popular imagination," said William Lieberman, chairman of Modern Art at the Met, who organized the show. The Surrealists were driven by the notion that love, desire and total freedom of the imagination were the salvation of humanity.
The next gallery focuses on the Dada Movement, with works by Man Ray, Max Ernst and Marcel Duchamp. Introducing the idea of the body as machine, it features pieces like Man Ray's 1918 "Man," with its image of a hand mixer.

The exhibit winds through more than a dozen galleries, opening with works by Giorgio de Chirico. The Italian artist's paintings so moved the early Surrealists that his "The Child's Brain," a sensual image apparently of the artist's father, hung above the bed of poet Paul Guillaume nearly all his life.
Although lacking the recorded orgasmic grunts and groans that accompanied some of the works at the Tate ("We didn't think they were necessary," Lieberman explained dryly), the works range from provocative to explicit. In one gallery, a tongue becomes a penis, a head becomes a penis and, elsewhere, a whole body becomes a penis.

In what the museum says is the
first major exhibit of international surrealism in more than two decades, the show surveys more than 300 works, including paintings, sculptures, photos, films, poems, manuscripts and books by well-known artists such as Salvador Dali, Man Ray, Joan Miro, Pablo Picasso, Alberto Giacometti, Rene Magritte and Frida Kahlo, as well as less famous artists like Dora Maar and Lee Miller.
The Associated Press
Surrealism, the first major artistic movement to openly explore desire and sexuality, emerged from the writings on dreams by Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung in the 1920s. The extreme breadth of the movement, its frankness — and moments of humor — are explored in "Surrealism: Desire Unbound," a sprawling show opening Wednesday at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Organized chronologically, the show begins in Paris right before the 1920s, around the time when Freud's writings were first translated into French, and Breton, the French poet who became a spokesman for the movement, began preaching a new vision of the world in which desire and imagination thrived unfettered.

Track athlete works toward Olympic bid in javelin throw
If you've caught Olympic fever, you might want to check out the Kansas track team.
Don't come to the conclusion that I've become mixed up, lost my way and forgotten track is a sport in the summer Olympics. What I'm giving you is a heads up to see a potential Olympian who competes in track at the University of Kansas.
His name is Scott Russell and he's a thrower on the team.
Kansas has a proud tradition of Olympic competitors. If Russell, an Ontario, Canada, senior, qualifies for the Olympics, he would become the 24th Jayhawk to appear in the games. From Ray Moulton's appearance in the 1904 games in St. Louis, to Al Oerter's gold in the discus in the 1960 Tokyo games, to Scott Huffman competing in the pole vault six years ago in Atlanta, Kansas athletes have dotted Olympic rosters.
But first thing's first.
As hopeful as he is of appearing in the games, Russell is focused on capturing a national championship in the weight throw this season.
Russell is the favorite to win that championship. Recall that he nearly established a new collegiate record for the weight throw in the last two weeks.
His record throw of 80-4 1/4 feet in the Jayhawk Invitational was disqualified because of an equipment technicality, but last Friday at the Iowa State Invitational, Russell broke the record again
— this time officially, with a throw of 81-
1 1/4 feet.
But even those records don't satisfy him. What he wants is a national title — something he thinks he can win.
"With how I've been throwing, I'm fairly confident of being able to go to the national championships and perform again," he said.
Russell hopes a good performance at the national championships can fuel an Olympic appearance — something he has had on his mind for a while.
"Probably from the time I've been a freshman until now, that's been my goal," Russell said.
However, since the weight throw isn't an Olympic event, Russell's best chance to appear in the Olympics will be in the javelin. The senior is pretty good in that event, too. Last year at the World Championships he finished 13th and established a new Canadian record for the event.
That finish gave Russell confidence in his ability to compete beyond the collegiate level.
"From how I competed last year at the World Championships, I know I can continue on with throwing and possibly to the Olympics," he said.
While those around Russell think he can eventually be an Olympic medalist, they also know he has plenty of work to do.
"That's down the road," said Doug Reynolds, Kansas assistant track coach. "There's a lot of improvement that's got to take place between now and then."
Sounds like a good coach who wants his athlete to achieve the most he can.
Russell will compete in the Kansas Relays April 17-20. Check him out. It may be your last chance to see an Olympic athlete and a potential gold medal winner.
Davies is a St. Mary's senior in journalism.

Kansas guard Jeff Boschee signs autographs for fans after a game. Fans frequently line the hallway outside the locker room for autographs from their favorite Jayhawks.
Rock Stalk Jayhawk
Pursued like a rock star, Boschee keeps stardom in perspective
By Doug Pacey
Kansan sportswriter
A teen-age girl with No.13 painted on each cheek eagerly waited for Jeff Boschee to make his way down a rope lined with people who begged for a moment of the senior's time.
With each signed basketball and posed picture, Boschee inched down the column of people toward the girl.
Finally, it was her turn.
Boschee waited a moment, but the girl didn't speak or move. The normally stone-faced senior cracked a smile and reached for a poster of himself, scribbled his name and placed his hand on the awestruck girl's shoulder as her mom snapped a photo of the two.
Nearby, an Allen Fieldhouse usher
shook his head. He has watched this scene play out after every Kansas home game.
"Jeff Boschee," he uttered. "They all want a picture, autograph or something from Jeff Boschee."
Most Jayhawk fans limit their obsession with Kansas basketball to the games at the Fieldhouse, conversations with family and friends and the Kansas flags they unfurl on game days.
But there is a group of people, many
of them women, who take their fixation on the Jayhawks and cross the line into what some might call stalking.
And Jeff Boschee gets more attention from these people than any other Kansas basketball player.
He gets phone calls at all hours of the day. Letters from people he doesn't know stuff his mail box. Someone posed as the senior guard on the Internet last year and spread lies and rumors

Home runs propel 'Hawks
Kansan sportswriter
By Ryan Wood
Coach Bobby Randall said the 2002 Kansas baseball team would be a team with power.
The layhawks held true to his word yesterday.
The jayawards held true to its word yesterday. The team's four home runs erased an early deficit as Kansas defeated Ottawa 10-6 at Hoglund Ballpark.
"We hit some balls awful hard," Randall said. "I think that's an understatement. Even some outs were some rockets."
After missing all of 2001 with a shoulder injury, sophomore second baseman Ryan Baty led the Jayhawks' offense, going 4 for 5 with four RBI's.
"It felt real good to get out." Baty said. "We've been working hard. We expected to hit the ball like this today."
After the Jayhawks fell behind 4-0 early, Baty led off the fourth inning with a long solo home run. Ottawa pitcher Ryan Hill retired the side after Batty's blast and kept the Braves up by three.
With two outs in the fifth, Baty delivered again, hitting a three-run double, tying the game.
Junior first baseman Kevin Wheeler and senior third baseman Ryan Klocksien followed with RBI hits, which gave Kansas its first lead of the day at 6-4.
Wheeler and junior designated hitter Pat Holmes each hit solo blasts in the seventh, and sophomore outfielder Matt Trible contributed a two-run home run in the eighth.
Senior Dan Olson pitched six innings, allowing two earned runs and striking out four and earning the victory.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Kansas looks to end losing streak
By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter
The seventh try might be lucky for the Kansas women's basketball team.
On this day two years ago, the Jayhawks defeated Nebraska 63-58 at Allen Fieldhouse. Since that win, the Cornhuskers have dominated the series, winning the last six games and extending their all-time lead to 40-18.
Kansas will try to end its two year drought against Nebraska (13-11, 3-8 Big 12 Conference) tonight at home.
The Jayhawks (5-20, 0-12) are also the not-so-proud owners of another streak - the longest losing streak in school history, which now stands at 12 games. Kansas coach Marian Washington said the losses weren't shaking her team's confidence.
"The rest of the way is not going to be any more painful than it was midway, so we're pretty focused on finishing out the season as best we can," she said. "It's important for me to get my young players ready to go and so I'm trying to get them out on the floor as much as I
can."
One of the young players who is receiving more playing time is freshman Blair Waltz, who recently re-entered Kansas' starting lineup after a foot injury sidelined her for four games. Waltz said she struggled mentally after returning to action but was slowly regaining her confidence.
"Lately I haven't been feeling very confident just because of coming off an injury and kind of being behind," she said. "There's a time where you have

HOROSCOPES
I
Today's Birthday (Feb.13).
Today's Birthday (Feb. 13).
You should do well this year by following the wisdom of the ages.
You're good at inventing new things, but it's the tried and true that works best. Old values, old rules and even old money serve you well. Reject a "friend" who would tell you otherwise.
Aries(March 21-April 19). Today is a 7.
Are you just slightly more pensive than usual? With all that's going on, it's hard to tell.
Do you have the feeling something's holding you back? Slowing you down? Heed that feeling.
Taurus (Anni 20-May 20). Today is a 7.
Taurus \april 20-28 may 2013
The negotiations you're into now could make you quite successful. Trouble is, you're not sure no. You may be worried that you're not expressing yourself well. Trust your instincts, not your doubts. Praise helped, too.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 7.
You'll notice that it's getting easier to express your feelings. It'll become especially noticeable tomorrow, so gather all your facts and figures, and prepare to present your case — for more money, that is.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is an 8. You can consider yourself successful, even if you haven't finished everything on your lists. Completion occurs step by step, well before you're finished.
Leon(July 23-Aug.22).Today is a 7.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 7. You may have been accused of being self-centered in the past, but now you can only think about others. Buying gifts for somebody who never expects one is a great way to show your love.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 7.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 7.
You don't have to do it all any longer. You've proven you can, and that's enough. Let a friend take some of the load. You'd do the same, and probably have, in the past. Accept a favor.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22). Today is a 7.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 7.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22), today is a 7.
Having great ideas is only part of the creative process. You still have to put in the effort. The vision should be clear, so roll up your sleeves. It won't be easy. At least one thing you try won't work.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 7.
Sure, there are still a few annoying things going on in your life. They're not quite so bad when you have a sympathetic listener. Somebody doesn't mind hearing your complaints, and that might help you solve the problem.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 7.
Are you interested in making some changes athome? Adding a garden, hooking up a new sound system, or maybe even listening to your family more carefully? Now is a good time to start.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is an 8. Money and education are still major themes in your life, and they may be linked. Your work may fund the classes you're taking, and the classes may help you earn more.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is an 8. Take all that information you've gathered, then add imagination, a stroke of brilliance and good luck. Voil! You'll come up with a moneymaking scheme.
P
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 7. It may be hard to stick to your agenda. You have to take other people's wants and needs into consideration. Unfortunately, those wants and needs don't always match yours. Be flexible.

Dog breed draws attention amid Taliban, 9-11 tension
?
S
A
Afghan hound owners consider renaming breed following terrorist attacks
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Lou Guerrero had no problem spending whatever it cost to show off his champion dog and bring it from California to Westminster this year.
He had more trouble dealing with the backlash caused by the name of its breed: Afghan hound.
"Now that 9-11 happened, I'm very careful where I go with my dog." Guerrero said. "When people ask what kind she is, I just say, 'She's a hound dog.'"
"The only reason I do this is for fear of possible retaliation."
There are 159 breeds and varieties at America's most prestigious dog show, and certainly no dogs have come under the same kind of scrutiny Afghan hounds have faced since the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon
Guerrero, owner-breeder of the No. 1-ranked Afghan from the 2001 season, and handler Peggy Coffman from Ohio know full about the resentment.
Twice before an Afghan hound has won Westminster, in 1983 and 1957. That was long before all the negative feelings toward the country where the dogs — known for their elegant coats and aloof presence — originally came from.
There were 25 Afghan hounds entered at this year's competition. The best-in-show prize was to be awarded yesterday night, with a Kerry blue terrier, a standard schnauzer and a miniature poodle among the favorites.
A month after the attacks, Coffman said she was in a restaurant outside Baltimore with a dog's owner when police came in looking for them.
Outside, they found police officers surrounding the van they were traveling in — the one with license plates that read, "AFGHAN1."
"They wanted to know what that was all about," she said. "Then a higher-ranking lieutenant told the younger patrolmen, 'It's dogs.'"
Even so, such bias led to a brief discussion at the Afghan Hound Club of America's exhibition in Houston as to whether the breed's name should be switched to something that would attract less
"I had someone see my dog and ask whether it was a Northern Alliance or a Taliban, but they were joking."
Anna Stromberg Afghan owner
attention. The group, meanwhile, requested that the word "Afghan" be taken off the marquee at the hotel where the show was held.
"A few people threw around the idea of changing the name of the Afghan hound to 'Tazi' hound, as they are known in their home country," said USA Network commentator David Frel, who has been involved with the breed for 30 years.
The club decided to keep the name. In the past, however, dog's names have been altered because of world events.
During World War I, the American Kennel Club changed the name of German shepherds to simply sheepdogs to "save the breed from prejudice." They were called Alsatian wolfdogs in Britain, then shifted to merely Alsatians until the late 1970s.
Still, Betsy Treharne of Belleville, N.J., takes no chances with the Afghan she brought to Westminster.
"If people ask if they're from Afghanistan, I say they're from the Far East," she said.
Many others also took lower profiles, changing their license plates and putting away signs and T-shirts that proclaimed, "I Love Afghans."
In the last couple of months, the ill will toward Afghans seems to have lessened, said owner breeder-handler Anna Stromberg of Oyster Bay, N.Y.
"I had someone see my dog and ask whether it was a Northern Alliance or a Taliban, but they were joking," she said. "I mean, they're dogs."
Owner David Giordano, from Newark, N.J., was curious to see what kind of reaction the Afghan winner would get when it was introduced to the crowd at Madison Square Garden on yesterday night.
"Right after Sept. 11, it did occur to me," he said. "I was thinking this would not exactly be the best year to win best-in-show at Westminster with an Afghan."
Illinois wins in final seconds
The Associated Press
EAST LANSING, Mich. — Illinois and Frank Williams might be getting it together at just the right time.
Williams scored 22 points, including five in the final 75 seconds, as No.18 Illinois edged Michigan State 63-61 last night.
The Illini (18-7, 7-5 Big Ten) won their third straight, following a three-game losing streak.
"It's huge." Illinois coach Bill Self said.
"It has been pretty well documented that we haven't played consistently, but there is still time if we peak at the right time. This win will do more for our confidence than any other game we have played."
Williams, who has been criticized for not living up to his billing as one of the country's top players, scored at least 20 points for the first time in over a month.
The returning Big Ten player of the year, who announced before the season that he would skip next season to enter the NBA draft, said he's heard a lot from his critics.
Williams' defense was a key reason Michigan State's Marcus Taylor shot just 4-of-15 for 16 points.
"I thought that was the best game Frank has played in a while," Self said. "Obviously, he made some big shots and his effort on defense against
"It all goes in one ear and out the other." Williams said.
The Spartans (14-10, 5-6) had won five of seven, and the previous 15 at home against ranked teams. They lost in the Breslin Center for just the second time in 58 games and to Illinois at home for the first time since 1997.
Tavlor was really good."
Illinois led by seven with 37 seconds left, but the Spartans made consecutive 3-pointers to pull within 59-58 with 27 seconds left. Brian Cook, who added ten for the Illini, and Williams each made two free throws before Taylor's 3-pointer in the final seconds.
"I'm really upset and disappointed," Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. "We got what we deserved. We looked dysfunctional, and the coach has to take responsibility for that."
Illinois didn't trail until Michigan State went ahead 33-32 with 15:11 left.
There were six lead changes over the next six minutes.
Following Cory Bradford's 3-pointer, which put Illinois up 54-52, Williams called a timeout with 1:18 left from the floor after stumbling. Izzo screamed to protest, and the crowd booed heartily.
Izzo was told by the officials that Self called the timeout.
"I could blame a lot of people," Izzo said. "Me, them, but the truth of the matter is, we didn't deserve to win the game."

League recognizes thrower for second time in season
DALLAS — Kansas thrower Scott Russell was named the Big 12 Indoor Track & Field Male Athletes of the Week by the league yesterday.
This is Russell's second weekly honor this season after being named co-male athlete of the week with Missouri's Chris Cantwell Jan. 14.
Russell broke the collegiate record in the weight throw with an 81-12.5 throw Feb. 8 at the Iowa State Classic in Ames, Iowa. The senior's record-breaking throw shattered the previous mark of 78-6.5, held by Tore Johnsen of Texas-EI Paso.
Russell, the defending indoor conference champion in the event, leads the Big 12 in the weight throw by almost nine feet.

BOSCHEE continued from page 1B
KANSAS 13 ALYA'S FORD & OUTDOOR
Senior guard Jeff Boschee pushes past a UMKC player as he takes the ball around the outside. Boschee has enjoyed a large fan base for most of his basketball career.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
about Boschee. A handful of Web sites are devoted to him, but none discuss his basketball skills. Such topics as his girlfriend, hair and personality are deemed more worthy. Dates with his girlfriend are interrupted by men and women wanting to talk to him.
Boy-band Boschee
Some basketball players like the popularity. Bosche doesn't. He tolerates it because he must do so. The only alternative is to leave the University and the basketball team.
Scan the crowd during a Kansas home game. You'll see signs or cardboard cutouts declaring their love to Kirk Hinrich or begging a kiss from Aaron Miles. But overwhelmingly, these proclamations of affection are aimed at Kansas' sharp-shooting heartthrob.
Jeff Bosche is the Jayhawks'
Justin Timberlake.
"Everybody on the team knows that Boschee's got the most girls in the crowd," Hinrich said. "They love him around here. They can't get enough of him."
It's just the opposite for Boschee. At least the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync have bodyguards and managers to handle their legions of fans. Boschee is on his own the minute he steps off the court. He and his teammates can sometimes spend an hour signing autographs and posing for pictures after games, but that's not what bothers him.
"I like doing that," he said. "If I was a little kid and I looked up to someone, I'd want them to sign my shirt or piece of paper or whatever. If I can do something for a kid or a parent who's getting something for their kids, I don't mind that."
It's when Boschee goes home to his Lawrence apartment that his popularity irks him.
"I get phone calls at home from girls," he said. "A lot of times if I do answer and they ask for me, I say I'm not there. If I was to talk to every single one of them, you know, it would take me forever."
Boschee's roommates cover for him when random girls call his apartment, but sometimes it gets to be too much, he said. The phone calls, letters and e-mails he gets aren't always filled with roses.
"There are times when some idiots will call my house and harass me," he said. "It's really ridiculous. My roommates and I just laugh about it. It's stupid that they take time out of their day to call me and do that."
Unwanted attention
Boschsee gets more than his share of attention on the Internet, too.
Last February Boschee became aware that someone was visiting chat rooms and message boards and pretending to be him. The impersonating stopped after the University tracked down the impostor and gave warning.
That wasn't the end of Boschee's Internet fame, however. A few Web sites are devoted to him, and most have nothing to do with his ability to shoot three-pointers. "Jef Boschee's Galaxy" has had almost 11,000 hits since it popped up almost four years ago.
The Jeff Boschee Club at Yahoo.com has 204 members, and 162 are listed as female.
"Hey, I met Jeff, and he wasn't a jerk or stuck up," reads one post at the site. "He was very sweet. I was talking to him. Even though I probably only walked with him for five minutes it was the best five minutes of my life."
One person posted a question last May on the site asking if it was true that Boschee had highlighted his hair. It drew 48 responses in one week.
Boschee's girlfriend, Lauren,
said it was rare for a date between her
and Boschee to go uninterrupted.
Between guys wanting to
talk about Kansas' chance at a
national title and girls wanting
to meet him, the two don't get a lot
of alone time. Lauren has
become used to her boyfriend's following and it doesn't bother her as much anymore, she said. But she still gets annoyed when girls ignore her and hit on her bovowirl in front of her.
"Girls act like I'm not even there." Lauren said. "He's never mean to them, but sometimes he'll introduce me to them, and they'll get the hint usually."
The comments aren't always about basketball or Boschee's availability, though, she said. Sometimes guys will rag on him and try and pick a fight.
Lauren said she would like to have an evening when someone giggling uncontrollably in their direction or wanting to talk basketball didn't interrupt her and Jeff, but she knows there isn't much chance of that happening in Lawrence. Why put up?
Why put up?
Boschee's a reserved person. He's not vocal on the court. He leads by example and is respected by his teammates. He's having his best season evera jayhawk. Thesenior has connected on 68 of 152 three-pointers, 45 percent, hit a game-winning three-pointer at Iowa State and knocked down two in overtime against Texas Monday night. He is the all-time leading three-pointer shooter at Kansas.
"Jeff is calm and cool," Hinrich said. "The media) should write more about him. He's done a lot for this team."
Boschsee came to the University of Kansas to play basketball.
He wasn't out to achieve "Big Man On Campus" status or to be a magnet for boy-crazy girls and the target of Internet impostors, he said. He's aware of the responsibilities he has to the Jayhawks' fans to sign autographs and posting for pictures, but he never asked to have Web sites built to honor him or have people barge in on his privacy.
But those things come with being a recognizable face on a nationally ranked college basketball team. If given the choice of forsaking all that, including basketball, and being a regular guy, he said he wouldn't. Playing basketball means too much to him. Still, he would gladly trade the so-called perks (popularity, attention from girls and free drinks at bars) of being a Kansas basketball player for a private life.
"I'd really want to be Jeff the basketball player," he said. "But saying that, I really don't want all the little things that come along with it."
That day will come. When the season ends, so will Boschee's college career. He might play in Europe or the Continental Basketball Association, but he will never get the kind of attention — good and bad — playing in those leagues as he does at Kansas.
And he'll enjoy every minute of his life without the spotlight.

Golfers build on fall season for spring
This week marks the beginning of the spring season for the Kansas men's golf team. The Jayhawks are in Hawaii making their final preparations for the Taylor Made/Big Island Invitational at the University of Hawaii.
The team wants to make a statement this spring after a disappointing campaign in the fall. The Jayhawks placed 10th in their first two tournaments of the year, then placed fifth at The Nelson-Stanford Invitational and ended the fall season on a positive note with a second place finish at The Prestige at Palm Desert.
"Our finish during the fall season is definitely encouraging and really close to what I thought this team can do even though this is a young team," coach Ross Randall said.
The team has four seniors along with what Randall sees as a promising group of freshmen.
"This is a really strong freshman class." Randall said. "On paper they look really good and I believe that in the future we will be a very strong team."
Coming into the spring season, the team's strongest player is junior Chris Marshall, who finished in the top 20 in four fall tournaments, and also had two top-10 finishes.
Randall said he was excited about the emergence of sophomore Tyler Hall as one of the top golfers in the collegiate ranks. Hall finished tied for 10th at the Purina Classic and tied for second at the Stanford Invitational despite a slow start to the fall season.
"He definitely has the ability to shoot the low scores." Randall said. "What we are looking for with Tyler is to be more consistent in the spring."
Today kicks off a spring season that will include six tournaments, all of which are away from home.
In the 24-team tournament, Kansas' five-man roster will include Hall, senior Casey Harbour, senior Travis Hurst, Marshall and redshirt freshman Kevin Ward.

ROTC basketball grabs three wins in tourney
Eight army ROTC cadets overcame long travel and fatigue to perform well last weekend at the Notre Dame Flying Irish basketball tournament in South Bend, Ind.
"We left at 5 a.m. and played at 10 p.m. that night," said team captain Pason Stopper, Ulysses senior. "Plus, this is the first year we've done this, and we hadn't had much time to practice."
The looming setbacks had
little effect. They went 3-2 at the round robin tournament and placed a respectable 16th out of 56 teams. Cadets from all the armed services played on the teams.
The University of Kansas team kicked off the weekend with a solid 56-32 win over the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.
"We really played well the first night, which opened the tournament and gave us the chance to excel," said Steve Connelly, Leavenworth freshman.
The University of Notre Dame also fell to Kansas, 51-40. The Kansas army cadets were handed their first loss against the Air Force ROTC from South Dakota State University. 35,21
The team's 2-1 record advanced them to the next bracket, consisting of 20 teams. In the first round, they came from behind and beat the University of Wisconsin Army ROTC,32-29.
"Our best game was definitely against Wisconsin. We were tired after the first two games and were down four
points at the half." Stopper said. "But we hung in there and fought our way back to gain control of the game."
The team had one hour to rest before its final game against Colorado, who won in a decisive victory.
"Fatigue was definitely a factor. We had already played three games and Colorado had more time to rest. But they really were a good team and showed they wanted to win," Connelly said.
Team captain Stopper attributed some of the team's success to three key players. Shooting
guard Kyle Parks, Larned senior, was selected as Most Valuable Player by the opposing team three times and was a strong asset to the KU team. Connelly and Wes Wilson, Topeka sophomore, were each selected as MVPs once.
However, Connelly said that team work rather than individual accomplishment was the team's strength.

Men's ultimate Frisbee team starts season with wins
By Stephanie Goettsch Kansan sportswriter

"Our only loss was to the
The team was undefeated after Saturday's competition. It won the first game13-6 and finished 13-11 the next two games.
"We were a little over confident with some of the teams, which is why they scored more than they should have." Clay Davis, Topeka junior, said. "We played a lot of new guys who are talented, but have less experience. When it got close in the end, the veterans pulled through."
The HorrorZontals were awarded a bye on Sunday, and then played Winona State in a long, grueling game. The 'Zontals lost 11-8.
"The wind was a huge factor." Davis said of the loss. And they also had a really tight zone defense."
Despite the concluding loss. Rice saw positive improvement over last year.
"We had a couple of close wins, and last year we lost the
close games. So we were really happy." Rice said. "Since we've only had eight or nine practices, we're still rusty. But it was a good start."
The Bettys women's ultimate Frisbee team also competed at the tournament. The highlight was its 13-4 win over South Point.
"It was our last game of the day and we had finally learned how to balance out our weaknesses and read each other," said team captain Ellen Schieber, Fairway junior.

Waltz looked for her shot last Saturday at Missouri. She scored seven points while attempting a team-high 15 shots. Washington said her Jayhawks needed additional scoring from players like Waltz.
"We've struggled all season long with trying to find ways to
put points up on the boards." Washington said.
"I've got players like Brandi McGinest that are coming off the bench now and playing some good minutes with a lot more confidence. Certainly Blair's had tremendous opportunity all season long and Chelsea (Thompson). I just think that we've got a lot more players coming out and helping us."
Kansas will need these reserve players to show up tonight if the Jayhawks are to compete with Nebraska, a
team that knocked off No.11 Kansas State last week.
The Cornhuskers' Keasha Cannon scored a career-high 27 points in that game along with 16 rebounds to earn her Big 12 Rookie of the Week honors.

Canada asks for probe of loss to Russia
The Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — Canada's Olympic delegation called for an investigation into the judging that gave the Russians the pairs gold medal over the Canadian team. Others in the sport say this could be the first sign that figure skating is due for some drastic changes.
The International Skating Union, which oversees the sport, said yesterday it would conduct an internal assessment of the narrow loss by world champions Jamie Sale and David Pelletier to Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharuldzite on Monday night.
"There should be pressure applied to investigate the results of this particular event," said Sally Rehorick, Canada's chief of mission, a former skater and a judge for 25 years. "We will request an investigation. I do feel the credibility of our sport could be negatively affected by this decision."
That decision gave the Russians gold by the slimmest of margins.
"It was like somebody punched me in the stomach," Pelletier told NBC's Today show yesterday. "At the same time, we can sit here and talk about it for weeks
... it's not going to change the results."
But it should change figure skating, said longtime coach Frank Carroll.
"This is the worst thing that's happened in a long time in figure skating," he said.
Carroll was Linda Fratianne's coach in 1980, when Fratianne lost the gold medal to East Germany's Anett Poetzsch amid allegations of judges trading votes along political lines.
"People say figure skating shouldn't be in the Olympic Games because it's a play sport, it's not a real sport ... when you watch that on TV," Carroll said. "The ISU has a lot of work to do as far as getting the judging system worked out."
Rehorick said subjectivity in figure skating was fine, "as long as the subjectivity is based on fair play in the spirit of the Olympics."
ISU secretary general Fredi Schmid said that the outcry following the judging prompted the organization to undertake "an internal assessment to monitor if the ISU rules and procedures have been respected."
When the marks flashed and the boos rained down Monday night, Pelletier buried his face in his hands and Sale's eyes filled with tears.
There was no easy way to explain how they could have looked so magical, yet come away with silver.
If only they'd made some mistake, left something out, maybe then they could understand. But this is figure skating, and the answers are rarely simple.
"That's the way skating works," said Sale, trying to contain her emotions. "It's judged."
NBC commentators were amazed at the decision. Sandra Bezic, a former Canadian pairs champion, even went so far as to say she was "embarrassed for our sport."
"How did that happen?" asked Scott Hamilton, the 1984 Olympic champion. Hamilton said there was no doubt for any-
"We didn't come here to win gold, we came here to do our
best."
Jamie Sale Canadian world figure skating champion
one, except for maybe a few judges, of who had won the program.
But for the Russian coach, the issue was closed.
"For two years, we considered that Elena and Anton won, but it went to the other couple," said coach Tamara Moskvina, referring to recent losses by her top pair, including their loss to the Canadians at last spring's world championships in Vancouver, British Columbia.
"We didn't accuse the North American bloc, we just accepted it. So now it is our time."
Sale and Pelletier put on the kind of memorable performance that defines a career. The Canadians did it even after Sale had the wind knocked out of her when she crashed into Sikharulidze during warmups.
Though she initially felt "paralyzed" by the crash, Sale and Pelletier skated with passionate abandon.
Every move and detail of their "Love Story" program was flawless, including two huge throw jumps.
Fans were chanting "Six! Six!" when it ended — begging the judges to award the Canadians a perfect score.
Pelletier was so overcome he
dropped to his knees and kissed the ice, then leaned back and let out a scream as he pumped his fists.
Berezhnaya and Sikharulidze's program, to "Meditation," was strong but hardly perfect. Sikharulidze stepped out of a double axel, and they couldn't match the Canadians' emotion.
"We didn't come here to win gold, we came here to do our best," Sale said. "We were on tonight, we really were. What else can you ask for?"
Yet they still collected seven 5.98 for artistry, with the Chinese and Polish judges favoring the Russians and making the difference, ensuring a Russian or Soviet pair has won every gold medal since 1964.
The Canadians got only four 5.98 for artistry.
But Sikharulidze refused to apologize for the shiny golden disc hanging around his neck. He and Berezhnaya were silver medalists four years ago, and it's been anything but a smooth transition from second to first.
They withdrew from the 2000 world championships after Berezhnaya failed a drug test, which she said was caused by over-the-counter cold medicine. They were then suspended for three months by the International Skating Union and stripped of their European crown.
"Yeah, sure, because I have a gold medal." Sikharulidze shot back when someone asked if he and Borezhnaya had skated a winning program. "All competitions are decided by fate."
Olympic security chases terrorist leads
Pictures of suspects produce possible leads but no credible threat
The Associated Press
Responding to an FBI alert of a possible attack against the United States, Olympic security workers distributed thousands of pictures of suspects and investigated a half dozen leads the pictures generated.
SALT LAKE CITY — Security forces papered the Olympics with fliers of suspected terrorists and chased false leads yesterday. At the same time, they emphasized there were no known threats toward the games.
Don Johnson, FBI agent, said
all the leads turned out to be groundless and there was no evidence the suspects have ever been in the Salt Lake City area.
"We have had sightings here in Utah that all turned out to be false sightings," said Johnson, who heads the FBI's Salt Lake City office.
Johnson and other Olympic security officials said once again that there have been no credible threats against the Olympics, which are being guarded by an unprecedented $310 million security effort.
That effort so far has resulted in a nearly trouble-free games, guarded by more than 15,000 police, troops and other security personnel.
"There are no specific threats against the Olympics," Johnson said.
Security forces distributed around the Olympics a two-page alert with color pictures of the suspects, named by the FBI in Washington, D.C. The pictures were posted at command centers and at security checkpoints.
Attorney General John Ashcroft urged Americans earlier to adopt "the highest state of alert" in the search for the 16 men the FBI said were possibly linked to Osama bin Laden's terrorist network and believed to have planned an attack against the United States or Americans in Yemen.
The FBI said in Washington there was no evidence the Olympics were a specific target, although a more general alert had included the time the Olympics were going on.
David Tubbs, executive director of the Utah Olympic Public Safety Command, the umbrella organization for Olympic security, said no extra precautions had been taken in the wake of the alert.
Tubbs said Olympic security was already at its highest state of alert.
"There's really not a lot we can do to enhance our security," he said.
Tubbs said the security plan has worked as intended so far, with only a few minor problems.
"We have a solid plan," he said.
"There's no reason to change it."
Johnson said the Joint Terrorism Task Force spent much of yesterday running down sightings that proved false. He said there were about "a half dozen and that include one sighting of Osama Bin Laden and one of Elvis."

MONDAY'S RATINGS: With live coverage of pairs figure skating, NBC's prime-time rating for Day 4 of the Olympics was 19.6 (each rating represents about 1.06 million TV homes). That's the best showing by any network from 8-11 p.m. on a Monday in nearly four years — since ABC's Academy Awards telecast on March 23, 1998, drew a 29.1 rating.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring may have earned a leading 13 Academy Award nominations yesterday, but the fantasy epic faces a hurdle in a best-picture race against a more traditional drama, A Beautiful Mind.
Lord of the Rings is last year's No. 2 box-office hit. But fantasies have rarely been taken seriously by Oscar voters, and an otherworldly epic such as the first film installment of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic has never won best picture.
A Beautiful Mind — tied with Moulin Rouge for second place with eight nominations — is the sort of heavy drama members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences often favor. A
'Lord of the Rings'an Oscar underdog
Beautiful Mind beat Lord of the Rings for top dramatic honors at last month's Golden Globes.
Among nominations for Lord of the Rings were best picture, Peter Jackson for best director and supporting actor for Ian McKellen, while A Beautiful Mind received nominations for best picture, director Ron Howard, actor Russell Crowe and supporting actress Jennifer Connellly.
Other best-picture contenders are Robert Altman's Gosford Park, In the Bedroom and Moulin Rouge.
Besides Howard, Jackson and Altman, best-director picks were David Lynch for Mullholland Drive and Ridley Scott for Black Hawk Down.

Along with Crowe, the leadactor category includes two black actors for the first time, Will Smith in Ali and Denzel Washington in Training Day. With Halle Berry nominated for Monster's Ball, it was the first time since 1972 that three blacks were nominated in the lead-acting categories.
Other best-actor nominees are Sean Penn in I Am Sam and Tom Wilkinson in In the Bedroom.

Student has meningitis, being treated
BySummer Lewis Kansan staff writer
A first-year law student at the University of Kansas is being treated for viral meningitis at Shawnee Mission Medical Center, KU health officials said.
Myra Strother, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that the 20-year-old married man became ill on Sunday night.
"When he came in on Monday morning it looked like flu," she said. "He became worse and went in for a spinal tap in Kansas City on Tuesday."
She said that his wife was fine and that he should be discharged from the hospital in the next few days.
Strother said that viral meningitis could be caused by any virus, such as the flu.
"Two thousand people could have the flu, but only one rare person will get viral meningitis," Strother said.
Steven McAllister, dean of the law school, said the faculty couldn't do much.
"We are not panicking because there is nothing for us to do," he said. "We have distributed meningitis facts sheet to all of the first years."
Strothersaid that she met with all first- year law students.
"I told them the facts and symptoms and that we don't expect any of them to get sick," she said. "It is highly unlikely that they could contract the disease. The main thing with viral meningitis is to look for the flu and symptoms such as strong fever, a severe headache and throwing up."
According to the Center for Disease Control, www.cdc.gov, meningitis is an illness that causes an inflammation of the tissues that cover the brain or the spinal cord. Viral meningitis is different from bacterial
The symptoms of viral meningitis are:
■ fever
■ severe headache
■ stiff neck
■ bright lights hurting the eyes
■ drowsiness or confusion
■ nausea or vomiting
■ severe flu
Source: Center for Disease Control www.cdc.gov
meningitis, which last week struck Steven White, associate professor of teaching and leadership.
Viral meningitis is more common that the bacterial form, and is generally less serious. In mild cases of viral meningitis, people would not even go to their doctor. However, someone with a severe case would need to be admitted to the hospital.
Viral meningitis is serious but rarely fatal in people with normal immune systems. Usually, the symptoms last from seven to 10 days and the person recovers completely.
Strother said that viral meningitis is not treated with medications.
"It is treated with fluids and rest," Strother said. "Pain medication for the severe headaches and medicine for the fever are also given."
Bacterial meningitis can be very serious and result in disability or death if not treated promptly. Often, the symptoms of viral meningitis and bacterial meningitis are the same.\Call Watkins for any questions or concerns at (785) 864-8000.

ASH WEDNESDAY
I will not be left alone in this world. I will be the friend of those who trust me.
The Rev. Vince Krische places ashes on churchgoers' foreheads yesterday at St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center's Ash Wednesday service. There was standing room only at the center's mass.
Students celebrate day
Ash Wednesday marks start of Lenten season, choices of what to give up
By Maggie Koerth Kansan staff writer
Ash Wednesday, the day Christians mark their heads with ashes and the beginning of Lent, was celebrated yesterday at several services throughout the city.
each of its three afternoon services.
The St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center averaged about 200 people at each of its three daytime masses. The ecumenical service, sponsored by Canterbury House, Ecumenical Christian Ministries, the Lutheran Campus Ministry and the United Methodist Campus Ministry, took place at Danforth Chapel and drew about 25 people to
Joe Alford, Episcopal chaplain to Canterbury House, said Ash Wednesday celebrations dated back to the third century.
"Notorious sinners did acts of penance before they were accepted back into the church," he said. "The ashes were a sign of mourning. It showed people that you felt bad about your sins."
Ash Wednesday is also known as the day people decide what they will give up for Lent.
Lent lasts from Ash Wednesday to Easter. During that time, Christians give up something to learn self-control and identify with the poor and needy, said Rev. Charles Poliska of St. John's Catholic Church.
Lindsey Rippel, Topeka freshman,
decided she would give up her time.
Rippel stopped going to church when she came to college and recently began going again.
"I knew a lot of people who came," she said. "I realized it was really fulfilling to be here."
As part of that return, Rippel said she had decided to use her free time to start going to catechism classes and daily mass.
But some students had trouble coming up with an idea.
"I thought about it in the shower and I realized I can't give up drinking, and I can't give up smoking," said Sarah Jantz, Tulsa, Okla., junior. "So, I decided I would just do something nice for somebody everyday."

Students, employers attend job fair

Companies seek to fill internships, part-time positions at job fair
UNDSEY KILLIANY/KANSAN
Sam Bruner, director of air vehicle analysis with the defense contractor Raytheon, looks over the resume of Enid, Okla., junior Casey Pursell at the Spring Career & Employment Fair. The fair features employers from across the board and runs through 3 p.m. yesterday.
By Mike Gilligan Kansan staff writer
KU students were given the chance to meet with representatives from about 95 different companies at the Career & Employment Fair yesterday.
"We're looking to recruit as many people as we can," said Ruth Mounkes, resource management specialist from the United States Department of Agriculture Food and Safety Inspection Service, one of several agencies and companies attending the two-day event.
About 750 students attended the fair, located on the fifth floor in the Kansas Union. Eighty-three companies are expected to attend the fair, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. today.
Lynn Peterson, personnel management specialist from the Bureau of Reclamation, is recruiting students interested in water conservation and environmental issues.
"We want to recruit more young people to get experience from the older people before they retire," Peterson said.
GailRooney, director of the Career and Employment Services, said the federal government was in need of employees.
She said 30 percent of government employees were eligible for retirement
Deonna Sharp, human resources employee for Sprint, said she wasn't looking to fill as many positions as she had in the past.
by 2001, with some agencies in the government putting the number as high as 50 percent.
Not every company is looking to fill several positions, though.
"The government is actively recruiting new college graduates for these positions."Rooney said.

The University of Kansas Athletics Corporation made the decision after the guard failed to follow a pregame timing sheet that outlined when it should be on and off the court, said Richard Konzem assistant athletics director.
The University of Kansas ROTC color guard has been temporarily suspended from presenting the American and Kansas flags before men's basketball games.
The color guard delayed tipoff by 45 to 90 seconds — crucial moments in televised broadcasts such as the Jan. 28 Missouri game on ESPN's Big Monday show, Konzem said.
He and the KU coaching staff repeatedly asked color guard members to change procedures, but the color guard did not comply.
"We were struggling with the colorguard, because they would wait until we lined up on the free-throw line, and they were marching through our team," Konzem said.
The Athletics Department notified the Army, Navy and Air Force branches of ROTC that they could not participate until changes were made.
Doug Vance, assistant athletics director in charge of media relations, said the color guard would be welcomed back if the necessary changes were made.
"I think everybody's goal is to cooperate and do it right the next time," he said.
Col. Kevin McNellis, Air Force ROTC, agreed and said the color guard planned to fix the problems before its next scheduled appearance at the Iowa State game on Feb. 18.
The issue gained wider attention Tuesday when The University Daily Kansan published a column by Robert Chamberlain that addressed the new policy and criticized men's basketball coach Roy Williams, asking fans to refrain from cheering for a "man who won't go to bat for the flag."
But Williams said he was not trying to cut the color guard, he only wanted them to follow the time schedules.
"I if we can't get them to cooperate for our event, why should we continue to have them here?" he said.
Williams said he was hurt by the accusation in the column that he was unpatriotic, citing his team policy to stand on the floor during the national anthem.
Leita Walker, Kansan editor, said the Kansan published a clarification yesterday because Chamberlain's column failed to present a balanced view.
"The Kansan acknowledges that the column was poorly reported, and regrets that Roy Williams and the Athletics Department were not given a chance to tell their side of the story in the original column," she said.

Former KU football player arrested after accident
Terminae Fulton, a former KU football player, was arrested Monday on a warrant for failing to appear in court, the KU Public Safety Office reported.
Officer Aaron Allenbrand escorted Fulton to Lawrence Municipal Court on Monday after discovering a warrant for Fulton's arrest.
Fulton was a fifth-year wide receiver last season.
On Dec. 14, Fulton was charged with improper lane change, no proof of insurance and leaving the scene of an accident, said attorney Jerry Little
He did not appear at his original court date Jan. 9.
Allenbrand contacted Fulton before knowing about the warrant, because a witness reported Fulton's license plate number in an apparent hit-and-run. Lt. Schuyler Bailey said.
Allenbrand reported the follow ing:
Fulton told Allenbrand he had hit a parked car on Feb. 6 in KU lot No.1. Fulton said he tried to put his personal information on the car but discovered he did not have his insurance information with him. He went home and returned to the parking lot with the information on a slip of yellow paper, which he left on the parked car.
Fulton said he talked with the owner and they exchanged insurance information.
After Allenbrand contacted Fulton on Monday, the Public Safety Office dispatch checked Fulton's driver's license for warrants, which confirmed a warrant for failing to appear in court.
Allenbrand asked Fulton if he had
money for bond. Fulton said he did, and Allenbrand took him to the court-house. Fulton paid the $307.50 bond and was set free. His next court date is Feb. 27.

Drivers cited after cars collide, cause damage
Andrew Peterson, 21, was turning south onto Tennessee Street about 2 a.m. as Jessica Todd, 25, was pulling into traffic from the curb where she was parked.
Two drivers were cited for operating under the influence after a car hit a porch at 1604 Tennessee St. early yesterday morning, Lawrence Police Sgt. Mark Warren said.
Peterson's car, a green 1989 Chevy Cavalier, hit Todd's 1989 silver Toyota and bounced off, then hit the porch. One porch pillar was knocked down and two others were damaged.
Todd's car struck two parked cars, a red 1988 Chrysler LeBaron and a white 1998 Cherokee Jeep.
No damage estimates were available for the cars or the porch.
Peterson was cited with an OUI and taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
Todd was cited with an OUJ and jailed at 4:01 a.m.
He was treated and released, a hospital spokeswoman said.

Rebeka Moses, Great Bend senior, and Derek Teeter, Oakley senior, will travel on March 8 to Kansas City, Mo., where a panel will interview them. The foundation will then narrow the field of applicants to about 80 recipients.
Two University of Kansas students were among 200 Truman scholarship finalists named Tuesday by the Truman Scholarship Foundation.
Moses said that selection as a finalist from the 600 that applied was an honor.
If they win, they could receive $30,000 for their senior year and graduate school.
Lynn Bretz, director of university relations, said that Truman scholarship winners and finalists brought the University prestige.
"We're always just elated anytime a student becomes a finalist or wins a scholarship," she said. "It speaks to the strength of KU as an educational institution."
Moses said she wanted to work with immigrants and pursue a law degree.
Teeter said he planned to attend Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. with degrees in law and public policy.
Teeter said his goal was to become a U.S. attorney.
Since 1981, 15 KU students have won Truman scholarship.
The foundation will announce the winners in late March and early April

Tanning can increase cancer risk
By Summer Lewis Kansan staff writer
People who use tanning beds may double their risk of getting skin cancer, according to a new study by the National Cancer Institute.
The study found people who used tanning devices were almost twice as likely to have common kinds of skin cancer
— such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma
— than people who didn't use the devices.
According to WebMD, www.webmd.com, basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer, affecting 800,000 Americans per year. Squamous cell carcinoma, the second most common skin cancer, affects more than 200,000 Americans per year.
Skin cancer is diagnosed in about one million Americans a
year.
The study said about 25,000 tanning salons operate in the United States.
The tanning industry earns $5 billion annually by about 28 million Americans.
Lee Bittenbender, dermatologist at the Dermatology Center of Lawrence, said he was not surprised the study finally proved what dermatologists had strongly suspected for a long time. He said tanned skin was never a good thing.
Margaret Karagas, an author of the study, said that although people suspected tanning lamps could cause these types of skin cancers, no previous epidemiological studies that addressed the issue.
"People need to understand that if their skin is tanned, then it is damaged," Bittenbender said. "That is how the skin responds to ultraviolet entry."
Hesaid ultraviolet light, a form of radiation not visible to the human eye, was the major factor in the development of skin cancer as well as aging of the skin.
"Aging means wrinkles, uneven pigment and thinning of the skin." Bittenbender said.
Elizabeth Escher, Topeka freshman, said that she usually tanned in tanning beds to prepare for spring break.
"I go to tanning beds so that I don't look so pale for spring break," she said.
Bittenbender said that he recommended people use the safer and cheaper alternatives to tanning beds.
"My view is that going to a tanning salon is an expensive way to do something bad to your skin," he said. "If someone wants to have the look of a tan, it is much safer to use the self-tanning methods that use a dye on the skin."

Aircraft maker says layoffs possible
The Associated Press
wICHITA—Cessna Aircraft Co., the only aircraft manufacturer that did not lay off workers last year, said job cuts may be necessary if sales didn't pick up in the next year.
"The last thing we want to have to do is lay people off," Cessna chairman and chief executive Gary Hay said Tuesday. "But the realities of the marketplace may indicate we'll have to do that."
Wichita's three light aircraft manufacturers — Cessna, Raytheon Aircraft Co. and Bombardier Aerospace — delivered 10 percent fewer Wichita-built airplanes to customers in 2001 than they did a year earlier.
The drop was the smallest at Cessna, which delivered a record number of Citation jets in 2001. But Hay said that if orders did not rebound, it may also have to cut production rates, and with it, jobs.
Since April, Raytheon Aircraft has announced 2,000 job cuts, and Bombardier Aerospace in Wichita announced 600 layoffs.
Cessna ended the year with a 4 percent
decline in airplane deliveries overall. Deliveries of Bombardier's Lear jet models, meanwhile, dropped 26 percent, while Raytheon ships were down 24 percent.
"The saving grace for us was quite simply the fact that we had hard terrific acceptance of our product in the prior two or three years in the marketplace." Hay said. "That allowed us to build our backlog."
Together, Raytheon, Cessna and Bombardier delivered 1,670 Kansas-built jets, turboprops and piston-engine airplanes last year, down from the 1,861 they shipped in 2000. The totals do not include military aircraft.
Cessna expects deliveries to be flat this year overall.
But the market for orders has been tough, and the company must rebuild its backlog of orders, Hay said. Cessna's backlog of orders is $5.2 billion, down from $6.6 billion a year ago.
Cessna halted plans to ramp up Citation jet production this year and also decided last year not to hire an additional 500 people.
The company has put a hiring freeze in place, except for "mission critical" positions, such as airframe and power-plant mechanics and engineers, said Cessna spokeswoman Jessica Myers.
Though it has avoided layoffs in Wichita, Cessna has eliminated about 400 jobs at its single-engine aircraft plant in Independence.
Cessna delivered 1,210 airplanes in 2001, compared with 1,256 the year before. The total included 313 Citation business jets, up from 252.
Cessna has expected deliveries this year of more than 300 Citations,100 Caravans and 600 single-engine aircraft, said Myers.
Bombardier Aerospace delivered 96 Wichita-built Lear jets in the 12 months ending January 31, the end of its fiscal year, compared with 129 for the same period a year ago. The biggest drop was in the Lear jet 31A aircraft.
Bombardier Aerospace, however, shipped more of its Canadian-made regional jets last year and ended its fiscal year with the same number of total deliveries as it did a year ago.

Cessna expects deliveries to be flat this year overall.
But the market for orders has been tough,
and the company must rebuild its backlog of
orders, Hay said. Cessna's backlog of orders is
$5.2 billion, down from $6.6 billion a year
ago.
Cessna halted plans to ramp up Citation jet production this year and also decided last year not to hire an additional 500 people.
The company has put a hiring freeze in place, except for "mission critical" positions, such as airframe and power-plant mechanics and engineers, said Cessna spokeswoman Jessica Myers.
Though it has avoided layoffs in Wichita, Cessna has eliminated about 400 jobs at its single-engine aircraft plant in Independence.
Cessna delivered 1,210 airplanes in 2001, compared with 1,256 the year before. The total included 313 Citation business jets, up from 252.
Cessna has expected deliveries this year of more than 300 Citations, 100 Caravans and 600 single-engine aircraft, said Myers.
Bombardier Aerospace delivered 96 Wichita-built Lear jets in the 12 months ending January 31, the end of its fiscal year, compared with 129 for the same period a year ago. The biggest drop was in the Lear jet 31A aircraft.
Bombardier Aerospace, however, shipped more of its Canadian-made regional jets last year and ended its fiscal year with the same number of total deliveries as it did a year ago.

PERSPECTIVE
Original idea? All that's new has been done before
When I saw the movie A Beautiful Mind, one quote was stuck in my mind for the whole movie. Russell Crowe's character was talking to his roommate and said, "I need a truly original idea to distinguish myself."
This quote sums up the problem that plagues me and the rest of the creative world.
world.
As a writer, you are constantly looking for an idea that will blow the socks off anyone who reads it. Especially as a journalist, you are looking for that edge or story that will entertain, make people curious, or create social change. I have been struggling to find the perfect column topic ever since I started writing. But what if I have already written my best column and all my writing now just going downhill?
Originality sets apart the good from the bad and the leaders from the followers. Lately it seems the movie industry is a microcosm for this lack of originality that surrounds us. Let's take a look at some of the most popular movies of the
past year. Lord of the Rings is a book, Harry Potter is a book, Ocean's 11 is a remake, Black Hawk Down is based on a real event, Ali is a biopic of the living legend, A.I. was a short story, and let's not forget all the other thousand sequels that came out this year.
But I found it the most ironic, and the least original, that A Beautiful Mind is about a real-life Princeton professor.
The success of all these movies makes it even harder for truly original stories to make it to the big screen because studios are looking for a sure thing. How can you go wrong by making a best selling book into a movie? It's like selling tofu to a vegetarian; they can't save no
COMMENTARY
This recent problem with originality and innovation brings me back to a revelation that an art teacher in high school told me. She thought that the creative world had reached the pinnacle of thought and that there was no place else to go. Basically she was saying that everything had been done and now

Has the world peaked creatively? When is the next Citizen Kane, the next "Guernica," the next Beatles' White Album, the next Catcher in the Rye going to come out? With a such a saturated marketplace of ideas, will a truly original and innovative idea ever surface again?
everything else will be based on some previous works. I laughed it off at the time but the more that I think about it, the statement seems to be carrying some truth to it.
There haven't been any prominent poets, artists or authors to come along that changed the world like Robert Frost, Picasso, and Ernest Hemingway did. Sure, there are lots quality works being put out in all the arts, but nothing that stands head and shoulders above the rest. That is because every idea has been taken and contorted every which way until you just have to blatantly copy it again.
Every conceivable movie plot has been done, every color or shape has been put onto canvas, and every style of music has been done, and every book genre has millions of writers.
Unfortunately for us that means we get to be bombarded with more reality shows, more John Grisham novels, more sequels, more rap/ rock groups, more Jewel poetry books and more Matisse reprints until someone can come up with something better.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
In response to Andy Knopp's Feb. 13 letter to the editor, I would like to defend those who stood opposed to Student Senate funding of the American Red Cross Blood Drive. Knopp wrote, "Opponents just don't want to allocate money to something that is unfair." I'd like to elaborate, as an opponent, and that say it's not that I don't want to allocate student money to an event that is unfair. It's that it's my job not to do so.
BLOOD DRIVE DEBATE
Dear editor,
There are many events, organizations and opportunities here at the University of Kansas that are beneficial to some members of the community but will never receive student money to opperate because some students are excluded (for example, the Greek system; due to its selection process, not necessarily everyone can join). This is not saying in any way that these excluded entities are
In Knopp's letter he mistakenly compares the blood drive to the upcoming performances of the Vagina Monologues. This analogy was false, mostly because the Student Senate did not fund the Vagina Monologues. The Senate explicitly funded the lecture by Robin Morgan, Feb. 28, which is of course an open lecture that all students to attend.
Those of us who stand in opposition to student funding of the blood drive do so with a conviction that our gay peers are being excluded from an opportunity because of their sexual orientation, and that because of this we will take a stand and put our words into action: denying funding. The blood drive will still happen, and with wide participation. But now we can write stronger letters of protest with a message to back up our
bad or should end, but rather that student money can only be spent where all students can be equally involved and therefore no financial support by Senate can be given.

words: Our student body will not fund blood drives on our campus until all of our community can fully participate. Heterosexual men are trusted to donate blood if they have practiced safe sex. The same trust is not afforded to gay men, and that is discrimination.
GTAC PROTEST
Olathe senior
Dear editor.
This alerted me to the apparent lack of awareness on the part of some administrators (including Faucher and Richard Morrell) about students' rights. As disconcerting to me was the lack of awareness about students' rights on the part of fellow students, including my fellow GTAC members. I specifically refer to Article 17, Parts A and B of the code, which guarantees the right to orderly and peaceful protests.
peaceful protests. There was order in Strong Hall and the event was peaceful. Unless there's information, it seems the undergraduate and graduate students representing and supporting GTAC were told to leave the building when they had every right to remain. Administrators, honor our right to protest. Students, know your rights and demand justice.
In response to Friday's University Daily Kansan article on the GTAC action of last week, and the Lawrence Journal-World's Friday article, it was reported that Ola Faucher, director of Human Relations, cites the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities, which requires organizations to comply with the guidelines for University events and registered organizations before holding events on campus, as the reason for why GTAC was asked to leave Strong Hall.

Suspected terrorist blows up self
The Associated Press
Sameer Mohammed Ahmed al-Hada, 25, was trying to flee from Yemen authorities who had staked out his house in San'a, police officials said.
SAN'A, Yemen — A suspected al-Qaida member, believed to have links to one of the Sept. 11 hijackers, blew himself up yesterday evening after being cornered by security forces in a San'a suburb.
Authorities believed al-Hada was a brother-in-law of Khalid al-Midhar, one of the 19 hijackers from the Sept. 11 attacks, and also a brother-in-law of one of the 17 men named by the FBI in an alert issued Monday warning of a possible terrorist attack, according to a U.S. government source, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
Officers approached al-Hada as he left his house, but the suspect ran and tried to throw a grenade that detonated in his hand and killed him instantly, police said. No police were injured.
Red Lyon Tavern A touch of Irish in 944 Mass. 832-8228 downtown Lawrence
Al-Hada was the son of Ahmad Mohammad Ali al-Hada, a known al-Qaida operative, according to a U.S. official, speaking on the condition of anonymity. However, the suspect's name does not appear on a U.S.-produced list of Yemenis believed to be suspected al-Qaida members.
Police arrested a man who was sitting in a car outside al-Hada's house at the time, the officials said on condition of anonymity. No further details on the arrest were available.
The explosion, which happened near San'a University, came two days after the FBI issued a warning of more terrorist attacks — either in the United States or against U.S. interests in Yemen. It identified 17 men believed to be involved in the plans.
The warning identified the possible ringleader as Fawaz Yahya al-Rabeei, a Yemeni citizen born in 1979 in Saudi Arabia. A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said al-Rabei is believed to have links to al-Qaida but is not believed to have
been involved in the attack against the USS Cole in the Yemeni port of Aden in October 2000 that killed 17 U.S. sailors.
According to the police, the rental contract had ended and his landlord asked al-Hada for documents to renew the contract. Al-Hada did not provide the documents and the landlord informed the police.
At least two terror suspects believed to be in Yemen, Qaed Salim Sunian al-Harethi, allegedly a top al-Qaida official, and Mohammed Hamdi al-Ahdal, are wanted by the United States for the Cole attack.
Police said that they had learned about al-Hada from his landlord.
Yemen's government admitted there may be alQaida suspects in the country,but said the network had no military training camps or any other organized presence.
The police began inquiries and suspected he was an active al-Qaida member in Yemen and that he had also been to Afghanistan. They did not specify when he was there.
Neighbors said that al-Hada spent most of his time inside his house, rarely had visitors and had claimed to be a San'a University student.
Following yesterday's explosion, security officers searched al-Hada's house and seized two pistols, documents, books, a mobile telephone and a piece of paper that contained telephone numbers, police said.
Yemeni Interior Ministry officials said they informed U.S. Embassy staff in San'a of yesterday's incident. Other police sources said both FBI investigators and Yemeni security officers were studying the documents taken from al-Hada's house.
Yemen, the poorest country of the Arabian Peninsula, has committed itself to joining the U.S. war on terrorism. But Yemeni officials have said this cannot be done without U.S. training, military assistance and aid.

Women struggle, lose to Nebraska
A hard-fought first half isn't enough as Jayhawks lose conference matchup
ry Ryan Wood
Kansan sportswriter
Despite losing 77-70 to Nebraska last night, coach Marian Washington and the women's basketball team left the Allen Fieldhouse court full of optimism.
"I thought they did a nice job staying in the ball game," Washington said. "They fought really hard. You get tired of losing, but there's no question that they're fighting together."
The Jayhawks (5-21 overall, 0-13 Big 12 Conference) led 34-30 at halftime, the first time they've led at the half during their 13-game losing streak.
"Everyone was trying not to get too excited," said senior guard Selena Scott, who finished with a team-high 16 points. "If you got too excited you might come out a bit down. We stayed up for a little while in the second half, we just had a couple of breakdowns in the second half and lost the lead."
the Jayhawks were able to contain Nebraska standout Keasha Cannon in the first half, limiting her to just two points. She finished with a double-double, scoring 15 points and grabbing 15 rebounds. Last Sunday, Cannon had 27 points and 16
rebounds against No. 11 Kansas State.
"I thought we did a good job on Cannon," Washington said. "She really went off on Kansas State."
In the end, the Jayhawks were unable to gain any ground after the 'Huskers (14-11, 4-8) hit 14-of-15 free throws down the stretch to seal the victory.
"You get tired of losing," Washington said, "but I have to keep my focus on the fact that this team, if they continue to play like this, I can go to the floor with them anytime."

KU miler shines at Iowa State Classic
By Matt Norton
Kansan sportswriter
Senior Katy Eisenmenger just climbed to the top of the Big 12 Conference rankings in the mile run last Saturday at the Iowa State Classic in Ames, Iowa. She currently sits 11th in the NCAA, a placing which would qualify her for the national championships in March.
She will step down to the 1,000 meters and run a leg in the 4 X 400 relay today at Kansas State.
A sizable, but less than full, contingent from the Kansas track and field team will make the trip to Manhattan for the KSU Open. Women compete today and the men compete tomorrow.
Assistant coach Doug Clark said cutting back on the amount of running the athletes do, while increasing the speed with which they do it, would give the them confidence going into the Big 12 and NCAA championships.
Most of the Jayhawks traveling will be runners working on events they don't run often, with the bulk of them being middle-distance runners. A handful of sprinters, jumpers and throwers, including new NCAA record holder Scott Russell, will compete.
"We could do the exact same thing right here in Anschutz."
Doug Clarde
Assistant coach
He said running athletes at distances shorter than their specialty complemented these last couple weeks' training and would make the runners more competitive in their chosen race, giving this meet the feel of a glorified practice.
towing and they'll be more motivated running in a real meet than they will at practice."
"We could do the exact same thing right here in Anschutz," Clark said. "I just think they'll get more adrenaline
Eisenmenger, who ran 4:45:65 last Saturday and is now the fourth-fastest miler ever at Kansas, said she was looking forward to running the 1,000 meters for the first time this season.
She ranks second all-time in that event and could claim the school record of 2:49:68, set in 1996 by eventual NCAA champion Kristi Kloster.
Eisenmenger said running the shorter events, especially the relay, was something she didn't do often, but would help her work on her speed.
"It's kind of fun," she said. "I loved that race in high school, but when you get here, you find you're not that fast."

its free throw opportunities, making 35 of 45 attempts at the line to seal the victory.
"I didn't even realize how many times they went to the line on us," Washington said. "Down the stretch we certainly had to foul. It's tough to see a game won at the free throw line and it not be you."
Three Jayhawks finished with double figures in points, with Scott's 16 taking top honors. K.C. Hilgenkamp and Nikki White both scored 14 for Kansas. Freshman Chelsea Thomson tied her career high of nine points, and Washington said several others are finally making progress.
"We've got players that are just playing with a lot more confidence now," she said. "It's taken awhile for them but it's good to see."
Kansas will face No. 12 Kansas State, which has lost its past two games, at home on Sunday.

Candy offers witty messages from the heart for athletes
For as long as I can remember, one of my favorite Valentine's Day traditions has been eating those little candy hearts with the cheesy expressions. Everyyear, I'll buy a giant bag and because they're so addictive, I'll usually have it finished off in a couple days.
Some of my friends think I'm crazy and try to tell me that my favorite candy tastes more like Pepto-Bismal tablets, but I'm not listening to any of that garbage. Others have tried to tell me that the only good thing about my hearts are their cutie messages. Can you believe that?
sages. Can you help me use these kinds of phrases anyway? When's the last time a guy earned points with his girlfriend by saying "FAX ME." And what's up with "MOON BEAM"? Yeah, like that's going to turn her on. Honestly, through out all my years of eating these things, I've never understood most of their phrases or to whom in the world they could possibly apply. Until now.
This year, I took a long, hard look at the new assortment of sayings and quickly stumbled upon a hidden meaning buried deep within their sugar-coated layers. There actually was an audience for these things. They were written with the Athletics Department in mind.
Oh yes, my friends, go and have a look for yourselves. The writing's on the heart. I won't give all their secrets away, but here's my main list of hearts and how they relate to lav hawk sports.
"GOOD 4 U" This heart belongs to senior wide receiver Harrison Hill, who recently was approved for a sixth year of eligibility. Hill's already had a great career at Kansas, and should flourish next fall in his final season as a Jayhawk.
"URA STAR"Drew Gooden, this one's for you. You've made the jump from KJHK sports talk to the Jim Rome Show.Congratulations.I hope you'll still have time for the little people now that you've made it big nationally.
how many you "MISS YOU" This heart has Jaclyn Johnson, Jennifer Jackson and Brooke Reves' names written all over it. The three seniors from last year have been sorely missed on this year's women's basketball team.
"GO GIRL" This heart goes to Tracy Bunge and her softball team loaded with seniors. Bunge has turned the program into the second best sports team here at Kansas.
"LOVE HIM" You've gotta love Mark Mangino. Even if he wasn't your first choice for the football coaching job, you have to like this guy. He's got great command over his team, what looks to be a solid recruiting class and has already showed plenty of wit in dealing with the media.
"I HOPE" This one expresses the feelings of many Jayhawk fans for Bobby Randall's baseball team. The Kansas skipper deserves a great season and needs one badly.
"SWEET TALK" This heart was made with the hype around this year's men's basketball team in mind. It's sweet, indeed, to hear people on the national scene saying what local fans have believed for so long — this team is for real.
"URA 10" This heart is clearly meant for Kirk Hinrich. In addition to wearing the number 10, Kirk gets top ratings on everything he does. He's the most complete player on the team.
"LOVE 2002" Roy, this one's for you. You'll always remember and love the year 2002. It's the year you'll win your first national championship. How do I know? Its all in the hearts.

Sophomore second baseman Ryan Baty looks to grab the ball for an out against Ottawa as junior short stop Casey Spanish backs him up. The KU baseball team opened their season with a 10-6 win at Hogelund Park Tuesday.
Teammates dominate the field
By Ryan Wood
Kansan sportswriter
Looking at junior Casey Spanish and sophomore Ryan Baty out on the field, one might think they were in the wrong place.
Baty, a 6-foot-4, 210-pound second baseman, and Spanish, a 6-4, 215-pound shortstop, may seem a little too big to be patrolling the middle infield for the Kansas baseball team.
But the two don't see their size as a problem. More like an added bonus.
"I think if anything, it's an advantage," Baty said. "I can cover more ground. It's a little out of the norm to see someone 6-4 playing second base, but if you look at the trend that's being set in professional baseball, you're seeing it a lot more now."
Baty assumed the role at second base after missing all of last year with a dislocated shoulder, which he suffered just weeks before the start of the 2001 season. He said the now-healthy shoulder was ready to take on the strains of playing everyday.
"It's better than ever," he said. "After a full year of rehab, it's stronger than it ever was."
Spanish, last year's second baseman is moving over to shortstop for the first time in his collegiate career. John Nelson, the starting shortstop for the last four years, is now playing professionally in the St. Louis Cardinals organization.
"Playing second the last two years, you kind of get used to it over there," Spanish said. "But whatever is best for the lineup and for the team, I welcome
it. It's going to be a fun time."
In it, Spanish hit .276 with three home runs and 21 RBI's in his sophomore campaign. He also stole 13 bases in 17 attempts. Despite their size, Baty and Spanish both possess hidden speed that can surprise opponents.
"I think people are going to look at us and think that we can't move as well or run as well," Spanish said. "I think that's going to play to our advantage. Not just in the field, but everything, whether it's running the bases or whatever."
Coach Bobby Randall said he is eagerly anticipating a full season with the two playing side-by-side on the infield.
"Defensively, Casey is our best infielder," he said. "Ryan works at it
really hard, and he's a good infielder, too. He's been hurt two years in a row now. I don't think there's anybody hungrier to play than he is."
girl to play Baty proved Randall right on Tuesday, going 4-for-5 with a home run, two doubles and 4 RBI in the Jayhawks' 10-6 victory over Ottawa.
With Spanish moving across the diamond. Baty was quick to dismiss any possibility of his roommate and good friend being upset about making room for him.
"Casey's a shortstop," Baty said with a smile. "He was born to play shortstop."

Team to spend Valentine's in Vegas
By Ali Brox
Kansan sportswriter
For those with significant others, Valentine's Day is a time to celebrate. But for members of the Kansas softball team, Feb. 14 is when they travel to Las Vegas for the University of Nevada-Las Vegas Softball Classic. This forced some members to rearrange their plans, but for senior shortstop Courtney Wright, her sweetheart will be right there with her.
"Well, actually my fiancé is driving up to Las Vegas," Wright said. "We're only getting each other cards because we're saving up for our wedding."
Wright has only a card for her fiance, but she has a suspicion he might get her a present even though they've agreed
not to. She also has an inkling they might not get much time alone while in Las Vegas.
"Hopefully we'll get time by ourselves, but my family is also going to come too, so it's probably just going to be a family Valentine's dinner," Wright said.
Senior second baseman Amy Hulse and her boyfriend decided to celebrate Valentine's Day before the team left. Her boyfriend cooked Tuesday night, and the two exchanged gifts.
Megan Urquhart also won't spend Valentine's Day in Lawrence, nor will the senior third baseman celebrate her 22nd birthday in Lawrence. Fortunately, her parents are making the trip to the tournament to help her celebrate both.
"Actually, my parents and my aunt and uncle are taking me out to the Bellagio Steakhouse, and we're going to eat out on the lake," Urquhart said. "We're all going to eat at the restaurant and then go hang out on the strip."
Urquhart doesn't have any idea what she's getting for Valentine's Day or her birthday, but she knows it won't be chocolate. She hasn't eaten chocolate in about six years.
"My mom, I don't know if she'll bring it, but she usually makes me strawberry heart cakes for my birthday, but I don't know if she's going to make them this year or not," Urquhart said.

Jayhawks fighting, playing better, coach says
By Jessica Scott
Kansan sportswriter
As the final buzzer rang last night at Allen Fieldhouse, a middle-aged woman held up a sign reading, 'We support you coach Washington! Go Jayhawks!'
Clapping in appreciation, Kansas coach Marian Washington exited the court with a slight smile on her face and for good reason.
Although the Jayhawks lost to Nebraska 77-70 last night and extended its school-record losing streak to 15
games, Washington said she felt good after the improvement that she witnessed in her team.
"We've struggled trying to get 40 minutes out of our club and I think this game we started playing 40 minutes of basketball," Washington said. "As I said to them in the locker room, there's no question that they're fighting better and playing better together."
Kansas (5-21, 0-13 Big 12 Conference) fought through a tough first half with Nebraska (15-11, 5-8) and led 34-30 at the break. Senior guard Selena Scott scored eight points in the opening half while sophomore guard Leila Mengue scored all of her six points in the first.
Washington said Menguc provided an instant spark off the bench for the Hawks, even after leaving the court five minutes into the second half with a bloody upper lip.
"I knew coming into this game what
"She did a great job," she said. "Leila is so feisty — she was able to get her hands in there. Leila was very instrumental in the first half. She got hit pretty hard but I just thought she played great for us."
I could and couldn't do so that really boosted my confidence," Menguc said. "I felt like we had the upper hand all through the game. Everybody was on the same page and it was really fun playing out there."
The Cornhuskers, led by junior Keasha Cannon who scored 13 of her 15 points in the second, led by 10 with 2:14 left. Kansas refused to fold and fought back with steals on the defensive end, and gave themselves a few more seconds of time by stopping the clock with timeouts.

Drink types telling local bartenders say
By Louise Stauffer
Jayplay writer
You are what you eat, or is it drink?
In the nightlife scene, what one holds in his hand at the bars may be saying more than he knows. Forget about picking out the perfect outfit for the nightlife
scene. Pick the perfect drink to make the first impression.
Local bartenders said that even the style of ordering a drink could speak volumes.
"If a girl comes in and takes a long time to order, she's probably going to have an amaretto sour or a midori sour," said Louise's Bar Down-town, 1009 Massachusetts St., bar-chartender Ioe Buell.

"When someone says, 'ginnie a beer, or a glass of red wine,' I can tell that they're underage," she said. "You have to know the categories."

drinker would form an attachment to drinks that were easy to make, such as a screwdriver, rum and Coke or gin and tonic. Drinkboy.com said that these drinks were fine to order, but the only difference between a glass of tonic or a glass of orange juice was that one of them required identification to order.
Dan Winsky, Red Lyon Tavern, 944 Massachusetts St., bartender and Lawrence resident, said that Bud Light seemed to be the college crowd's standby.
"Groups of girls always come in and order a pitcher of Bud Light and a glass of water," he said. "It's something they're
usedto."
But not all women guzzle Bud Light.
Laura Gold, Los Angeles senior, said that she didn't drink Bud Light.
"Heineken is my favorite beer in the world," she said. "Girls that just drink drinks like amaretto sours seem underage. They just don't know what's out there."
Aaron Strelow, +Replay Lounge,
946 Massachusetts St., bartender
and Lawrence resident, said
6 Massachusetts St., bartender and Lawrence resident, said fixing any drink with Red Bull annoyed him.
Red Bull is an energy drink that has become popular when mixed with alcohol such as vodka.
"Vodka and Red Bull seems like a drink that some athletic guy type would drink if they're feeling adventurous," he said.
Strellow said that the most popular drinks served at The Replay Lounge were Pabst Blue Ribbon and "anything with whiskey."
Drinkboy.com said it was easy to spot an "odd man out" at the bar by watching people order. The site said that the odd man out would either order a "shock" drink — such as sex on the beach — or an uncommon cocktail at a bar that wasn't familiar with that type of drink.
Winskv said that were

some myths about drinks. For example, the more complicated a drink was to make, doesn't necessarily mean it tasted better.
"People order Long Island Iced Teas because they think that more kinds of alcohol means a stronger drink," he said. "Well that's wrong."
Long Islands have also received criticism as a giveaway "rookie drink" from Replay Lounge customer Ron Johnson from Tampa, Fla.
"Somebody that doesn't usually drink will order something like a Long Island, where a more experienced drinker will get a rusty nail."

Crawford said that sometimes a customer's drink order threw her curveball.
"Sometimes a guy will come in and order a fu-fu drink like a strawberry daiquiri while his girlfriend orders a beer," she said. "It makes me think that they can't hang."

Lonely tonight? Grab cards, friends and let the games begin
Doyle Murphy

By Doyle Murphy Jayplay writer
Are you single for another Valentine's Day? If you are, sitting home alone is simply not an option.
Have a party. Go to a party. Drag your single friends along with you, and feel sorry for the poor saps embarrassing themselves in the name of love.
Okav. ready? Let's start the party.
Your toughest task is convincing everyone else to join the festive mood. Let's face it, some people are content to stand in the corner and mope on Valentine's Day. But, never fear. There are things you can do to ensure this holiday will be talked about for years — such as playing a good drinking game or two. This can be just what you need to turn those potential party-killers into party-stars.
The only problem with drinking games is the people who are in the mood to start a game are not usually completely clear when relating the rules of the game.
So, here are a few general guidelines to the games. Remember, these games are for those of the drinking age. That being said, lets get started.
No game holds the "many variations" rule as sacred as the time-honored classic, Quarters. However, no matter what rules you come up with, the primary objective remains the same: you must bounce a quarter off a table top into a cup.
This is accomplished by holding a quarter with thumb and index finger on opposite sides of the coin's rim. Hold the quarter parallel to the table top. From a position about six inches above the table's surface, slap your hand on the table, releasing the quarter an instant before it hits the table. The quarter will rebound into the air and, one would hope, land in the waiting cup.
Another favorite of late night gamers is I Never. I Never is a great way to force everyone to loosen up and to embarrass your friends at the same time. Participants sit in a cir

can remedy any "low down and triflin" lover's behavior.
6. "Promises" by the Buzzcocks, 1978. It's misleadingly poppy for a song about getting dumped by your best girl, but the lyrics are supremely acidic and Pete Shelley's disappointed-sounding vocals in the chorus speak volumes.
5. "Pictures of Lily" by the Who, 1967. Learning to love yourself, even if it takes a visual aid and a little privacy, is truly the greatest love of all.
7. "Piss Up a Rope" by Ween, 1996. A pool hall jukebox favorite — depending upon where you play pool — this faux-country number is more fun than shootin' a scatter gun at your ex's double-wide.
8 "Stop Breaking Down" by The White Stripes, 1999. The Stripes' stompin', grindin' Robert Johnson cover is the perfect ladies' man anthem — even when you've got no lady to speak of, Tiger.
9. "You're a Million" by The Raincoats, 1979. Adorned with off-kilter percussion and an abused violin, what this confession of feelings of inadequacy lacks in tenderness is made up for with raw, jilted psychosis.
10. "Rid of Me" by PJ Harvey, 1993. As we have reached the final selection of the tape, I thought it appropriate to include a song that will instill the courage — or insanity — to drunkenly dial a random ex. Oh. no — *no one* is getting rid of you.
Within the constraints of the column, the mix is brief, but you get the idea. When you lack somebody to neck with on Valentine's Day, or the very thought of such a thing induces dry heaves, music can be your best friend — a friend that won't drink any of the beer or need a ride home afterward.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 14).
today's birthday (reb. 14).
An increase in your bank account could cause a change in your friends. You'll meet new people, and others may be left behind. The ones who can't keep up and are jealous of your success are not a great loss. Be gracious, and you'll inspire others to follow your example.
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 7.
Tomorrow you'll be raring to go, ready for combat,
sure of yourself. Today, there are a few old doubts rising to the surface. You'll be stronger if you stare them down.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7. A barrier has been overcome, partially by accident. Something that was in the way no longer is. Prepare to follow through on something you've been contemplating doing for years.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 7. Whomever you work for should be in a generous mood. Don't wait any longer — make that plea for a raise before somebody else beats you to it.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7.
Tie up all those loose ends. Tidy up your workspace and congratulate yourself on a job well done. And hurry up about it. There's a new assignment coming soon.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 7.
As you finish paying bills, you may find there isn't quite enough to go around. In order to put a little away for the future, you may have to ask someone to wait.
G
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22). Today is a 7.
One of the problems with sharing the load is that you can lose some control. Don't get bent out of shape if somebody disagrees with your methods or procedures. There may be a better way.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 7.
In the middle of the project, it always looks more like a mess than a masterpiece. Push to get as many loose ends tied up as you can. Somebody important wants to see what you've done tomorrow.
2
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 7.
You're gaining objectivity. Look at what's going on in your life as if it were happening to somebody else. From that perspective, you may see something you'd missed.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 7. You may find yourself uncharacteristically lost in fantasy, living in a dream world. It's a mandatory part of setting compelling goals.
蟹
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 6.
Your preparations should be almost complete.
Run the last few errands, then find a place where you can sit and relax. Center yourself for the coming action.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 7.

Sex is OK form of revenge on some occasions
洗
There are usually reasons behind every sexual encounter. I'm horny. My girlfriend or boyfriend is horny. I love you, I want you, I NEED you. You're way too hot to pass up. I'm really drunk and lookin' for some action — you'll do.
But, sometimes an urge to do the forbidden dance isn't based on love, lust or even alcohol — it's based on revenge.
Ah, revenge sex. Quite simply it's sex to get back at someone for something, be it your own jilted feelings, a bad day or a bad lover. There's also the hardcore revenge of the "just one more time" sex with a former — or soon to be former — boyfriend or girlfriend. But, while revenge sex and "ex sex" may sound like the same thing, they are quite different.
S
"Ex sex" usually happens because feelings between two people — especially the sexual ones — are hard to get over. Sure, your former love may be abasive, rude or unfaithful, but he or she still is attractive. And he or she knows just how to do certain things — sexual things — that blow your mind. While these encounters can suck, especially the day after, you weren't out for revenge on your former flame.
But revenge sex is sex to get revenge. This can come in the form of giving your target sex like they have never had before that they will remember for the rest of their lives, or getting with your ex's best friend for a rockin' night ... or two. It might just be getting on that hottie who never gave you the time of day.
Ohhh, revenge sex is cold. And it's dirty. But sometimes cold and dirty is what you need. Just think about the time in junior high school you might let your ex watch as you made out in the back of the bus with a new fling.

Now, however, you're in college. And yes, the stakes have gotten higher. Sometimes — and this sucks but it's true — revenge is what is needed, just a little taste of justice. And, although sex is a sacred act that should be committed only between two people who are very much in love, a little non-love influenced sex is better than giving your ex's entire wardrobe to goodwill or selling several prized possessions.
In the end, if revenge is needed and sex is a handy way to do it, go for it. Just realize that, other than your close friends, anybody who hears of your act might think you're quite the mean, dirty person.
And, unless the person in question did something so terrible it can't even be printed in this paper, never, never have sex with someone just to give them a STD, or to get them or yourself pregnant. That simply goes beyond cold and dirty into the realm of gross, terrible and trashy.
And be ready — one day you'll be the one getting revenge, the next you could be the one that is revenged on.

Make each day Valentine's Day
I have never quite understood Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day is traditionally the one day of the year we set aside for romantic love. We are told we need to buy flowers, candy or stuffed animals for our sweethearts to show affection. We journey to restaurants for candle-lit dinners, or we go and see a romantic movie at the theater. We are taught from the time we're born to do something special for Valentine's Day.
But I don't know why. Why do we all bow to the whim of this one heralded day?
RELATIONSHIPS COLUMN
Don't get me wrong. I'm not one of those "Valentine's Day is just a commercial ploy" kind of people. In fact, I love just about everything associated with Valentine's Day. I love the cards, seeing couples everywhere and hearing from my friends about what their significant others did to make the holiday special.
[Name]
I enjoy Valentine's Day, and I'm willing to wager most other people do, too — even those who claim it to be the harbinger of commercial evil.
No, I am not naive enough to believe Valentine's Day contains no commercial ties. From the red colored Hershey's Kisses to the special Valentine's Day Scooby-Doo boxer shorts, commercialism is a dominant force of the holiday.
So why, if it is not for the commercial aspects of the holiday, do I think Valentine's Day a bit silly? It's because I think once a year is just not enough for what Valentine's Day is supposed to represent.
I think Valentine's Day should be a surprise holiday that someone somewhere is having all the time. Think about it: doesn't it feel good to find a card, flowers, candy or some other gift your beloved has surprised you with just because?
James Manning jmanning@kansan.com
Imagine if these surprises were happening all the time.
One of the strongest cohesive forces in a relationship is a partner making his or her beloved feel special. While Valentine's Day is one such outlet, don't let it be the only one.
And one last warning to all the people out there who "don't have time" or "don't have the money" to do something for Valentine's Day: get real. If you love or even remotely care about the one you're with, then you can surely find some way to let him or her know how you feel.
Make a homemade meal, make your own card or write a poem. Even if you suck at those things, they will be appreciated.
And don't just limit Valentine's Day to your significant other. If someone else is special in your life, like a family member, a good friend or a great co-worker, do a little something to let them know you care, too.
Work to make every day a Valentine's Day for someone.

Potluck party redefines notion of holiday love
By Summer Lewis Kansan staff writer
The idea for tonight's gathering came from a discussion Ayer and her roommates had about the idea of love, she said.
La Fiesta de Amores sin Conscunción — "party of love without consumption"— is at 6:30 p.m. at The Mother Earth Collective, a house at 1305 Tennessee St., that provides meetings for many Lawrence groups, house resident Elizabeth Ayer said.
Lawrence residents and University of Kansas students will offer a Valentine's Day celebration alternative tonight with a potluck party at the Mother Earth Collective.
"We were talking about Valentine's Day, love and what love means to us," she said. "We have been reading a book called All About Love by Bell Hooks, which has us thinking about what culture has done to love."
She said they were discussing that love in America has been co-opted by consumer culture.
"To express to someone that you love them, you have to buy them something or take them out to an expensive dinner," she said. "You're not only hurting what your own love means by taking away your individuality, but you are buying into culture."
"We want to celebrate spending time with our friends and community."
Ailecia Ruscir
awrence Graduate Student
She said that culture gears love toward heterosexual couples.
"You can love family, friends and community, which is as important as your girlfriend or boyfriend." Ayer said. "We wanted to celebrate love as we see it without having to play into the dominant roles that are shoved on us by the media and our society."
Ailecia Ruscin, Lawrence graduate student in American studies, said the party was an alternative to having a date with a boyfriend or girlfriend.
"We want to celebrate spending time with our friends and community," Ruscin said. "Also, we want to redefine how people look at love."
Ayer said there would be all types of food, but mostly sweets and lots of chocolate.
"Everyone is welcome," she said. "You can bring a dish to share or just your wonderful self."
The Mother Earth Collective has a collection of books and open hours, and houses meetings for groups including KU Greens and the Industrial Workers of the World.

HOROSCOPES
1ay'sBirthday(Feb.14).
Today's Birthday (Feb. 14).
An increase in your bank account could cause a change in your friends.
You'll meet new people, and others may be left behind. The ones who can't keep up and are jealous of your success are not a great loss. Be gracious, and you'll inspire others to follow your example.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7.
Tomorrow you'll be raring to go, ready for combat,
sure of yourself. Today there are a few old
doubts rising to the surface. You'll be stronger if
you stare them down.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7.
A barrier has been overcome, partially by accident. Something that was in the way no longer is.
Prepare to follow through on something you've been contemplating doing for years.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 7.
Whomever you work for should be in a generous mood. Don't wait any longer — make that plea for a raise before somebody else beats you to it.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7.
Tie up all those loose ends. Tidy up your work-
space and congratulate yourself on a job well
done. And hurry up about it. There's a new
assignment coming soon.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 7.
As you finish paying bills, you may find there isn't quite enough to go around. In order to put a little away for the future, you may have to ask someone to wait.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 7.
One of the problems with sharing the load is that you can lose some control. Don't get bent out of shape if somebody disagrees with your methods or procedures. There may be a better way.
O
2
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct.22). Today is a 7.
In the middle of the project, it always looks more like a mess than a masterpiece. Push to get as many loose ends tied up as you can. Somebody important wants to see what you've done — tomorrow.
Crab

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 7.
You're gaining objectivity. Look at what's going on in your life as if it were happening to somebody else. From that perspective, you may see something you didn't missed.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.19). Today is a 7.
You may find yourself uncharacteristically lost in fantasy, living in a dream world. It's a mandatory part of setting compelling goals.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 6.
Your preparations should be almost complete.
Run the last few errands, then find a place where you can sit and relax. Center yourself for the coming action.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 7.
You've won a few rounds and lost a few. You should feel pretty good about it, though. All in all, you've done quite well. Tomorrow's a good day to ask for a raise.

Panel ranks popular chocolates
By Donovan Atkinson Jayplay writer
Whitman's Sampler
While Valentine's Day ranks as the fourth most popular holiday for candy, Halloween is number one—an estimated 35 million heart-shaped boxes of chocolate candies will be sold for Valentine's Day this year, according to the National Confectioners Association. But when consumers are buying sweets for their sweets, are they taking taste into account?
UNDSEY KILIANY/KANSAN
That was the goal: to see if the average college student would be able to find the best Valentine's Dav chocolate.
The other panelists agreed. Nicole Hipp, St. Louis junior, thought the Whitman's was too chewy, while Jim Flaigle, Wichita freshman, and Matt Seger, Newton sophomore, found it too bland.
Chocolate is a traditional gift of Valentine's Day — but which is the best?
Chocolate with nuts
A test panel of four randomly-selected students was asked Sunday to blindly sample chocolates from three well-known confectioners: Russell Stover, Whitman's Sampler and Hershey's Pot of Gold. The students were asked to sample chocolate with nuts, chocolate with caramel filling and chocolate with a random filling.
Chocolate with caramel
Flaigle and Reel chose the Russell Stover chocolate and nut combination as their favorite.
When it came to the first test, the panel did not agree on which chocolate and nut combination was the best, but they all knew which one was the worst. No one on the panel liked the Whitman's Sampler chocolate.
"It was gross," said Sarah Reel, Carlton junior.
Hipp and Seger preferred the Hershey's Pot of Gold sample, with Hipp favoring the dark chocolate that was used.
After the panelists had finished sampling the caramel, they arrived at more of an agreement than they did with the nuts. None of them liked the Hershey sample during this
round, but three of them chose the Russell Stover sample as their favorite.
Seger chose the Whitman sample as his favorite because it was "easier to chew." Reel agreed it was the best of the regular caramels.
"It was a raspberry caramel," said Reel, who said the added flavoring was why it was her favorite.
The panelists thought the chocolate used in the Hershey sample did not taste as good as the other samples.
"It was richer," Flaigle said. "The others were kind of light."
Chocolate with random filling
For this test, three different fillings were selected. For the Whitman's sample, a coconut filling, a chocolate truffle was used from Hershey's and a vanilla creme from Russell Stover.
The panelists unanimously chose the Russell Stover vanilla creme as their favorite.
Hipp, who considers herself a great lover of chocolate, did not like Hershey's chocolate
truffle-filled candy.
"If I weren't biased against the coconut, I'd have to say it was the worst," she said.
The other panelists agreed, with Reel commenting that the quality of chocolate seemed low.
While the coconut won over Hipp, Seger was not impressed.
"Chocolate good, coconut bad," he said.
With the tasting done, the panelists were told which sample belonged to which company. The panelists chose Russell Stover as their favorite brand of Valentine's Day chocolate. They were somewhat surprised to learn that Hershey's was the brand that they disliked the most.
"I figured Hershey's would have a better idea of chocolate," Flagli said.

By Peter Black Jayplay writer
Edible undies, available at Naughty but Nice, 1741 Massachusetts St., run for about $6. Owner Richard Osburn said edible undies were a big seller around Valentine's Day.
To all of those people looking for the perfect Valentine's Day gift this year, quit racking your brain about which kind of candy to buy and start thinking about something a little more bold.
Why not make this holiday a night of experimentation with a plentiful booty of sexual toys and accessories from stores around town?
Roses and chocolates no longer cut it. Times are changing and so are gifts. Perhaps you just started dating that special someone and are searching for a gift that won't scare him or her away, — turns out that that double-sided dildo you were considering isn't appropriate — so your best bet would probably be sensual body oils.
Oils are not only cheap, but they'll give you something to do later on in the evening. They also come in gift sets containing an array of scents and flavors, sometimes including a pair of handcuffs.
Some people may be planning to go to a nice romantic dinner, so try killing two birds with one stone and opt for the gift of edible panties. For under $15 at Priscilla's, 1206 W. 23rd St., you can buy a three-piece dinner including piña colada panties to whip your appetite, a forbidden fruit bra for the main course, and then wash it all down with pink champagne undies.
You've got one sure-fire way to surprise
that special someone you've been eying for weeks: a prosthetic penis strapped to your face, also known as the Accommodator.
What isn't accommodating about a penis on your chin? Besides being a great conversation piece, just imagine the possibilities the Accommodator offers.
As for the ageless conundrum of finding a gift for someone you've been dating for a long time, there's the problem of wanting to get something that
will surprise him or her. Give the gift that shows you are in it for the long haul and spring for the sex swing. Remember how much fun you had on the swing during recess? Well, the sex swing brings all of those memories flooding back and will create a whole lot more memories.
One last plea for gifts: With the economy spinning wildly out of control, do the patriotic thing and support smaller businesses. Hallmark and Godiva are doing just fine, but it's up to you to save the makers of the Accommodator and edible panties. Without your help this may be the last year you can walk around with a mouth full of undies and a bright shiny penis dangling off your face.

Valentine's gifts meant to symbolize love
By Meghan Brune Jayplay writer
Whether you believe Valentine's Day is a holiday created by greeting card companies or not, today is the day most people expect to get a gift from that certain someone. A Valentine's gift can proclaim love and devotion through pink hearts, chocolate boxes and stuffed teddy bears — or at least a dozen roses.
But what if your love is the kind that demands a bit more than the usual Valentine's fare? Or maybe the obvious gifts have lost meaning for you and your loved one?
"Each summer Jeff and I plant a tomato garden in his backyard," Bruce said. "This year I got him all the seeds and supplies."
Some University of Kansas students have found alternatives to the traditional Valentine's Day gifts of sweets and flowers. Sophomore Becky Bruce and her boyfriend, senior Jeff Allen, both of Leawood, Kan., try every Valentine's Day to find a memorable gift.
"My boyfriend senior year of high school gave me the spare key to his 79 green Ford Grenada,
with the license plate 'greenluw' and told me it symbolized the key to his heart I should have
heart. I should have known it was over right then."
Barb Kullbom Lincoln, Neb. sophomore
Gift ideas can include necessities such as clothes, boxes and cologne, or students with more cash can opt for concert tickets or a couples massage. A bit more inventive gift ideas include a basket of his or her favorite things, or something the two of you can share.
"I've never done it," Jeff Allen said,
"but some guy should write down every
fight he has ever had with his girlfriend, put it in a box and bury it on Valentine's Day."
But Valentine's salesman Frank Cherrito of Kansas City, Mo., set up a temporary shop at 23rd and Alabama streets in Lawrence Monday in preparation for the traditional, last-minute gift-seeking masses. Cherrito said he noticed a trend in these last-minute shoppers, probably people who waited too long or had forgotten about the holiday. His merchandise has included stuffed animals and red and colored roses by the dozen.
Some gifts, while creative, should be carefully considered, but most likely never given.
"My boyfriend senior year of high school gave me the spare key to his '79 green Ford Grenada, with the license plate "greenluv," and told me it symbolized the key to his heart," said Barb Kullbom, sophomore from Lincoln, Neb. "I should have know it was over right then."

Shop online for the one you loathe
By Nicole Roche Jayplay writer
For those sad, ironic individuals who were dumped this week — you know who you are
The following are a couple of truly wicked gift ideas for that special loathed one in your life.
dumptious in the face — everything's not lost. Sure, it may be the holiday of love and companionship, but that's only for the real losers, right? You can still have fun the old-fashioned way — by sending your ex something he or she can forever treasure.
Everyone knows those little conversation heart candies taste about as scrumptious as flavored chalk. Not to mention their nauseating little messages like "Be Mine" and the recently introduced pop-culture flirt, "E-mail me." Well, the geniuses at www.despair.com have come up with a way to say what you are really thinking.
Bitter Sweets are candy hearts for the recently dumped-and-bitter, featuring 15 phrases like "We Need 2 Talk," "I Deserve Better" and "Time 2 Trade Up."
The site specifies: "Supplies are limited. But the pain that accompanies them may not be." No word on whether these candies actually taste any better than their cutesy counterparts.
Available for same-day delivery; $6.95 plus shipping and handling.
You've always wanted to say it. Now's your chance to do it tactfully with one of the plush dogs for sale at www.heartlessbitches.com. For $7.95 plus shipping and handling you can order the "Heartless Bitch," a toy dog with a heart-shaped hole that goes straight through its chest.
"Perfect as a cubicle mate, pencil holder or gift for the heartless bitch in your life," the site recommends. For the ladies out there, you can visit www.heartlessbastards.com and make up rumors about your ex or e-mail him the S.O.B. award.
Really, what says, "I loathe you," more than rotting salmon? For $7.95 plus shipping and handling, www.senddeadfish.com will ship a dead fish to the victim of your choice.
The company's mission statement guarantees you will be a satisfied customer: "We will wrap and ship a smelly, rotting fish; wilting flowers or a rank bag of crap to your 'intended's' doorstep. Add a comment card that saits it all and leave them speechless."
The dead flowers run for a pricey $14.95,
but you can get a reasonably priced bag of
feces for around $8.
"You've had enough of their crap," the site says. "And now it's time to give some back."

Holstein's second CD a triumph
By Brad Weiner Jayplay writer
Warning. The following music review is not related to Valentine's Day. Rose-carrying, stair-eyed romantics should proceed with caution.
Holstein is back and they are better than ever. This week, the Lawrence band released its second CD Dance of the Flatlander to a small consortium of friends, fans and University Daily Kansan reporters.
The CD's cover art is a colorful cartoon that depicts a naked couple dancing with their dogs in a small cosmopolitan apartment. Both man and woman are lost in their own groove as the music takes them to some sort of auditory understanding. Presumably, they are listening to Holstein as they get down, because while listening to the band's music, it is pretty tough not to.
The title track is a complex, multi-part opus that would impress any Zappa fiend. It starts with a subtle, catchy guitar ostinato played by Jeff Jackson. Only two measures later, the whole band jumps in with a crisp beat, a driving, techno-like bass line and heavily distorted guitar leads. The song cruises through several well rehearsed changes the first of which takes the listener into a section that is reminiscent of later Pink Floyd mixed with early Phish. Sometimes there is more space than sound, sometimes it's reversed.
Bassist David Brodie takes care of the low end with elementary licks played with exemplary drive. The drumming, provided by Alex Logan is impeccable, particularly on the goofy rocker "Ottawa," a city that, according to the band, smells like the "sizzling stench of crystal meth."
Holstein has put together a great collection of originals. If the band's music sounds like a
fugitive from the seventies, the lyrics are recent escapees from the schools of Ween, Weezer and Beck. Holstein obviously doesn't take themselves too seriously.
One tune, "Basketball," has the interesting line, "Basketball and Jesus Christ/One day a sinner drinkin' Natty Lite." Take that how you will, it caused this particular reviewer to laugh even while stuck in traffic on 435 South.
It is noteworthy that the sound value on Dance of the Flatlander is perfect. Although self-produced, the record is mixed perfectly and includes the finer — and funnier — intricacies of Holstein's rich sound.
The best tune on the album is "Rachel's Song." The groovy ballad contains one of the most truthful lines ever written into a rock song "I wouldn't be so cynical/If you wegen't so stereotypical."
The last cut on the album is
called "Ode to Gwar." It is a mistitled tune that is drenched in a Phishy sound. The first part is like the soundtrack to a cartoon set in a wonderfully psychedelic munchkin wonderland. The tight choruses fall more into line as a Gwar-inspired heavily metal interpretation. After a few rounds, it blasts into a full-blown power chord frenzy fit for a head-banging spree.
Holstein is playing a CD release party Saturday, Feb. 16 at The Pool Room, 925 Iowa. According to the band, its gig "starts early and ends late." The cover is $5.
So, Grab a copy of Dance of the Flatlander , and close the blinds because you may find yourself dancing naked by your stereo until the break of dawn. Of course, since it is Valentine's Day, you may have plans like this already.

GAMES
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
cle, and one player starts by saying "I've never..." — what follows is up to the speaker.
For example, the speaker might say, "I've never cleaned my toilet with my roommate's toothbrush." Anyone who is guilty of this deed must drink. If there is only one person who has to drink, that player must also divulge the details surrounding his or her action. Play continues to the right. This game can really get interesting if you happen to know a few not-so-well-known stories about other players.
A fast-paced thinking game is Categories. This game is set up similarly to I Never, but this
time the speaker selects a category, such as makes of cars. Play moves to the right, and players must come up with a make of car immediately. The first person to fail must drink. Possible categories are only limited by the constraints of your imagination.
Now for the game that has baffled college students for generations: Connections — also known as Circle of Death. Cards are spread in a circle in the middle of a ring of friends. Before the game begins players must designate various activities for the cards.
For example, any time a heart is drawn players must tell an embarrassing story about themselves, players must fire random questions at each other when a Queen is drawn, or one card is
considered the 'death' card that, when drawn, requires the recipient to down a community drink in the middle of the circle or to take a shot. The game ends when all of the cards are drawn.
These assignments are are just suggestions, but all activities must be assigned before play begins. Writing them down ahead of time is a good idea because it will prevent confusion later.
The last suggested game is Lick the Card, Stick it to Your Forehead and Try to Guess What Card You Drew. Haven't heard of this one? That is because it was just made it up — the name is open to revision. However, a "test group" had such a good time trying it out that it may be an instant classic.
For the game, cards are scattered face down in front of players and one player selects a random card. Without looking at the face of the card, the player guesses the card's value. If the player guesses five but has drawn a seven, he must make up the difference by taking two drinks seven minus five. If the player draws a five and guesses a five, all other players must take five drinks.
Face cards are worth 10, and aces are worth 1 or 11, dictated by the largest difference between guessed value and actual value.
Use your imagination, have a good time and give Valentine's Day the party it deserves.

'Shipmates' stays afloat in big sea
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — As every viewer knows, the human race is governed by two primal needs: sex and TV face-time.
This has been evident throughout television history. In the early 1950s, Bride and Groom joined couples on the air, then, having sanctified their unions with national exposure, dispatched them for their wedding nights.
With The Dating Game in the 1960s, TV played Cupid. No longer were nuptials required for the bachelors and bachelorettes. But a chaperone was.
Then, this season, TV-trysting weighed anchor. Love Cruise proved unseaworthy and sank without a trace. But far more successful has been the syndicated Shipmates — check local listings — which arranges blind dates on
board a luxury vessel and then tails them for three days and two nights to record what develops.
Sometimes it's a sea of love. Just look at Danny Matoe and Tara Cohen. They met and fell for each other on a Shipmates episode last September. At the half-hour's fade-out, they vowed to see each other even after the tape had stopped rolling.
Granted, not every Shipmates pairing has a life beyond television. Thank goodness! Far more amusing to behold is a mismatched couple on a stormy voyage. For every viewer who has stumbled in the romance department, there's enormous pleasure watching courtships take a pratfall.
Right now the romance-reality category is bloated with Blind Date, Change of Heart, Fifth Wheel and many more, as well as
Fox's prime-time Tempation Island and memories of last year's UPN shamefest Chains of Love. Even so, Shipmates is navigating a successful first season, with its audience up 30 percent since its premiere.
The reason may seem obvious. But co-creator John Tomlin said Skipmates wasn't about sex.
"I interview all the candidates," he said. "They want to meet someone."
How that happens is highly systematic: Five couples — a week's worth—are recruited for a commercial cruise, with each couple followed, night and day, by a camera team.
"We treat our show as if it were a documentary about these two people coming together for the first time," he explains. "Whether or not they get along is pretty much up to them."

Olympic Committee rules out Lawrence for 2018 games
The International Olympic Committee recently eliminated Lawrence from the list of possible host cities competing for the 2018 Winter Olympics. After an extensive application process, Lawrence made the first cut, which narrowed the list to 12,876 cities worldwide. However, the committee failed to move Lawrence to the second round of the selection process, citing the city's apparent "flatness" and lack of a ski area within a 600-mile radius.

Quin Snyder buys red lace Valentine's lingerie 'for wife'
Missouri basketball coach Quin Snyder reportedly bought an article of lingerie yesterday at a Kansas City area Victoria's Secret with the explanation of "It's for my wife."
Snyder is rumored to enjoy the delicate, silky comfort of female undergarments. He reportedly entered the store about 10 a.m. yesterday and began browsing the displays, occasionally rubbing an article gently against his cheek before being approached by.
employee Janice Schubert.
"I just asked him if he could use any help, like I do with all customers," she said. "He got real jumpy and shot back that he was buying it for his wife for Valentine's day. Then he started playing with his hair a lot, which I guess calmed him down, because after that he started asking all these questions."
PETER G. BRUNO
Snyder
Schubert continued to work with Spyder for the following hour, answering all of his detailed queries, most of which centered around "his wife's comfort" in each particular article. Eventually, Schubert was able to direct Snyder to a red lace, special Valentine's edition teddy in Mrs. Snyder's size, which was reportedly about the size of Snyder himself.
He also bought a bottle of scented hair gel.

Freshman talks to Collison
After chance encounter, student reports that basketball star is dreamy
By Andy Marso
Kansan satire writer
Laura Burns was extremely excited after reportedly encountering Kansas basketball player Nick "Yummy Tummy" Collison outside of Wescoe Hall yesterday afternoon.
"I just walked out of class and there he was," said Burns, Hutchinson freshman. "Nick's really good at basketball, and he's such a hottie."
Burns reported that the two spoke for "at least, like, ten minutes."
"I think we really made a connection," she said. Onlooker Richard Lang, Wichita sophomore, disagreed.
"She cornered him outside Wescoe and started
babbling all this stuff about how much she loved basketball," Lang said. "Collison had this kind of 'deer-in-the-headlights' look, but he'd nod every and then."
Kansas assistant coach Neil Dougherty confirmed that Collison had a history of such encounters.
"Nick has come to me for advice about dealing with the women that are always chasing him." Dougherty said. "It's not just him though, almost everybody on the team goes through it. Well, maybe not Zerbe."
Burns admitted that Collison was not the only basketball player she had spoken to.
"Nick is probably my favorite, but I try to talk to the other ones too," she said while clutching a small team picture she keeps for easy identification of the players. "But sometimes they try to hide in those big hooded sweatshirts, which I think it just so cute."

Valentine's tips
Tongue in Beak presents
By Greg Zielinski Kansan satire writer
- When receiving a Valentine, remember that it's the thought that counts, as long as the thought says "Hallmark" on the back. Otherwise, it's total crap.
- Valentine's Day, or the Feast of St. Valentine, was originally established by early Christians to incorporate a popular, pre-existing pagan holiday into their dogma. This information will in no way be of use to you or anyone else, much like that history degree you're working on.
- The Beatles once said "Money can't buy me love" and "Love is all you need." So why not let me get rid of all that useless green paper cluttering your pockets?
- Valentine's Day is a popular time for marriage proposals. If you are a college student planning to "pop the question," this may be a good day to snap out of it and start appreciating the quality singles around you.
- "Dirty" Valentines can be a fun and exciting way to celebrate the holiday, though you should first be sure that the object of your affections will not be offended by your card. Play it safe by first asking them,
"Would it bother you if I told you I think about you when I masturbate?"
- Listening to romantic love ballads while flipping through old pictures and enjoying a bottle of wine with your significant other is a great way to solidify your relationship. If you've just broken up, it can help solidify your
resolve to chase that wine with loads of barbiturates.
- If, while exchanging Valentines in class, you happen to notice the shy, quiet kid's box is empty, point it out loudly to the amusement of the other children. This way, 20 years from now you'll be able to say that you knew the "Valentine's Day Slasher" back before he was famous.
- When asking someone out with a note, be sure that it's clear which box should be
ap case water.
Otherwise, you may unwittingly end up on a date with Pat Buchanan.
- You really can't go wrong giving candy to your special someone, unless of course your special someone is a Mogwai
and it's past midnight. In which case, also try to keep them out of water.
- While candy hearts emblazoned with the phrase "Hot Stuff" may be a fun, cute substitute for traditional paper Valentines, they are not a good substitute for the warning labels in your chemistry lab
- This year, instead of buying expensive jewelry, you could make her a cute necklace with Fruit Loops and string. And instead of buying her flowers, you could give her some pretty pine cones you found. And instead of having an appreciative girlfriend that loves you, you could masturbate alone to the Shakira video.

HUGHES SYMPOSIUM
Predator 2' fans disrupt Glover's Langston Hughes speech
Danny Glover's visit to the Lied Center last Thursday took a surprising turn after Predator 2 fans interrupted his speech on Langston Hughes.
Glover repeatedly told the crowd he was not there to discuss his fictitious battle with an alien man hunter, but the crowd would not relent. The struggle between Glover and the audience began to resemble the shoot out between the
police and the Colombian drug cartel in Predator 2.
drug caterpillar 2.
Glover finally put a stop to it by saying, "Okay, okay, who wants to hear some Hughes poetry?"
The room was silent.
But when he said, "Who wants to talk about Predator 2?" the room was filled with cheers.

Predator 2, released in
1990, also starred Gary
Busey and Ruben Blades.

turned what was a trivial sequel into a work of high drama.
It was later discovered that all 1,829 members of the Lied Center audience were card-carrying members of the Predator World Online Fan Club. Some fans came from as far away as Cleveland.
Glover's response to the evening was surprisingly good.
"I love Langston Hughes' poetry, but I also love my fans," he said. "I never knew that Predator 2 was loved by so many people. I'm glad I could make them happy and it was really cool kicking that alien's ass."

Regents get student pleas
By Sarah Hill Kansan staff writer
Students demonstrated yesterday at the Board of Regents meeting in Topeka in an effort to improve the dialogue about tuition increases.
The students delivered hand-made anti-increase valentines to the Regents, who will begin to hear tuition proposals in March.
"I think it's great for Student Senate to give valentines," said Chancellor Robert Hemenway, who attended the meeting. "Those sentiments are easy to agree with."
Jack Wempe, vice-chairman of the Regents, said he was glad that students came to the meeting to voice their concerns.
"Those sentiments are easy to agree with."

"We've made it very clear for several
months that we want students involved in this process," he said. "We want them to understand the problems we face."

About 15 KU student senators and students demonstrated at the meeting as early as 7:30 a.m.
Kit Brauer, Association of University Residence Halls senator, said he was surprised at how willing the Regents were to discuss students' concerns.

KU Ambassadors want more diverse membership
As one of two African-American members of the KU Student Ambassadors program, Latahia Scott, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, feels that the organization is not representing the University well to incoming students.
By Leah Shaffer Kansan staff writer
When Latasha Scott, Kansas City Mo., sophomore, joined KU Ambassadors, she was surprised by the lack of fellow African-American students in the group.
"A lot of minorities in organizations don't even know what they are," she said about the ambassadors.
Scott had to explain to minorities in organizations that KU ambassadors were the people who "walked backwards" on campus and gave tours to prospective students.
KU Ambassadors are trying to spread the word that they are looking for more diversity. Scott said more minorities should be in ambassadors to reflect the diversity on campus for potential students.
"If they see minorities that give tours, they can relate," she said.
Jennifer Hall, Overland Park junior and publicity chair for ambassadors, said the group had two African-American students including Scott, two Hispanic students and three Asian-American students among its 89 members.
These numbers fall in line with the percentage of African American, Hispanic Americans, and Asian Americans on campus. For Fall 2001, 2.6 percent of the KU student population was African
American, 3.1 percent was Asian American and 2.4 percent was Hispanic American, according to the Office of Institutional Research and Planning.
Even with the comparable percentages, Eric Hays, Ellis graduate student and sponsor of KU Ambassadors, said that KU Ambassadors wanted to work on recruiting even more minorities.
To do this, Hays said that KU Ambassadors had visited organizations such as Black Student Union, First Nations Student Association and Asian Student Union to recruit new members for spring. Hays said the problem was most organizations learned about KU Ambassadors through word of mouth and that few minority groups on campus had a chance

Shop early for leases
Apartment search takes an early start, knowledge of rentals
By Melissa Shuman Kansan staff writer
It also requires an early start, as some Lawrence apartment complexes already have waiting lists for leases starting this August.
Shopping for apartments requires thrifty hunting skills and a knowledge of leasing agreements.
"They really need to start looking now so that they won't have to wait for a place to live," said Judy Gilliland, leasing manager for Tuckaway Apartments. 2600 W. Sixth St.
At Tuckaway, a two-bedroom apartment costs $750 and a three-bedroom costs $1,015 per month. To get a lease, Tuckaway requires a small fee for processing the application and a security deposit of one month's rent.
Gilliland said she made sure that either the parents or students were able to support the lease.
"We require a co-signer if each person on the lease does not make three times the cost of rent," Gilliland said. "It doesn't have to be a parent, it can just be a rich person who loves you."
Cornell Mayfield of Housing & Credit Counseling, Inc., 2518 Ridge Ct., has seen a lot of students who have problems with their apartment leases.
"I think a part of the reason they get taken advantage of is the housing crunch," Mayfield said. "They don't

nave a place to live and they don't feel they're in a position to argue."
Mayfield said that students who tried to sublease to get out of their rent payment often just end up in more financial trouble.
"The important thing to remember is not to sublease because the original tenant is still liable for the property," Mavfield said.
Mayfield cautioned students against paying too much for security deposits and against companies who ask for them before the lease is signed.
"You don't give anybody a security deposit until they've processed your application, and they've shown you the property, and the apartment you're going to live in has been checked out," he said.
Mayfield said complexes are only allowed to charge one month's rent for a security deposit on an unfurnished apartment, and half a month's rent for pet deposits.
"Some places will try to charge a pet rent each month, and more for the number of pets," Mayfield said. "If that

KU team to show some 'defense' at mock trial competition today
By Adam Pracht Kansan staff writer
With poise and confidence, Branden Bell stood in front of the bench, intent on winning the round.
The Tulsa, Okla., senior faced down his competitor across from him and said, "Madam, would you please state your name for the jury?"
Competitors in the mock criminal trial portray either attorneys or witnesses in a court simulation set in the fictional state of "Midlands."
Bell is a veteran member of the University of Kansas mock trial team.
One team plays the prosecution, the other defense. The 'judge' is actually the judge of the competition. The contestants are evaluated on how well they portray their roles and present the facts of the case.
The team has been preparing one case this season, which began last fall — a murder trial involving a secretary who allegedly murdered her former boss.
Today the members of the team travel to Washburn University for regional competition. If the team places in the top three, it will go to the national competition in Des Moines, Ia.
Penny Beesley, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, said the team had a strong bid for one of coveted placements.
The freshman members are Katie Walker, Leavenworth, Dani Davey, Overland Park, Ryan Faulconer and Andy Foat, both of Colorado Springs, Colo.
While the team members are young— four of the seven are freshman— Beesley said they brought high school experience and intelligence to an already successful team.

Local dog 'retrieves' awards
The Associated Press
The purebred pooch, known around the house as "Woody," captured two major awards Tuesday night at the nationally televised 126th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show at Madison Square Garden in New York.
LAWRENCE — His home is in Lawrence, but he's known among dog affixations from coast to coast.
He's Wetu of Kalahari, a 4-year-old male Rhodesian Ridgeback owned by Mike and Cindy Well of Lawrence.
Woody's performance was a towering feat for a Ridgeback at the nation's most prestigious dog show. No Ridgeback has ever placed among the top dogs in the hound group at Westminster.
Woody won best of breed honors from among the 36 Ridgebacks. He also received the more prestigious selection of best of the hound group, which includes 25 breeds.
"We're just thrilled. It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing. It's really making history for the breed, which has never had this kind of showing," Cindy Well said. "Mike was just shocked. We started screaming."
Westminster is the country's second-oldest sporting event. This year, it attracted more than 2,500 dogs representing 159 recognized breeds.
Woody has made several trips to Westminster in recent years with professional handler Linda Clark of Tulsa, Okla. At last year's show, judges chose him as the runner-up for best of breed.
Woody lives most of the year with Clark in Tulsa, who shows him in competitions around the country. But he does come home to Lawrence for visits with the Wells. The Lawrence urologist and his wife have two other champion Ridgebacks who live with them: Phenix, one of Woody's daughters; and Solo, a 5-year-old female.
This is probably Woody's last year of competing in dog shows. Then he'll retire from the spotlight and just be a regular pet at the Wells' home. But for now he's still a leader of the pack.
"He just happens to have the right chromosomes," Mike Well said. "And he's got this (dog) show attitude: 'Watch out — I'm here to look cool.'"
CORRECTION
Based on misinformation from a KU Public Safety officer, a brief in Thursday's Kansan incorrectly stated that Andrew Peterson, 21, was charged with operating under the influence after his car collided with another car in the 1600 block of Tennessee Street early Wednesday morning. Peterson has not been charged in connection with the collision.
kansas families can get money
Disaster aid from the federal government is available to Kansas families and businesses to help recover from the ice storms that swept across the state last month. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has grants for home and business repairs, low interest loans and repairs to public facilities.
Those who suffered losses in the storms may call FEMA from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday to begin the application process. Call 1-800-621-FEMA or 1-800-462-7585 for the hearing and speech impaired.

Graves to promote tax increase for state
TOPEKA—Gov. Bill Graves thinks the severity of the state's budget problems will persuade legislators to raise taxes.
Graves said yesterday he believed legislators have begun to see the need for more revenue. The state faces a $426 million gap between expected revenues and spending commitments in fiscal 2003, which starts July 1.
"it's going to take a little time, but the budget is the tool that's going to sell the revenue package." Graves said at a news conference during the annual Reporters' and Editors' Day at the Legislature, sponsored by The Associated Press and the Kansas Press Association.
Graves was asked if he had been sufficiently aggressive in building support for tax increases. He has proposed $228 million in tax increases to avoid cuts in education and social services.
"I'm in this betwixt-andbetween situation where, if I'm not here, I I'm not engaged," he said.

Regents delay hearing on final tuition proposals

The Board of Regents decided yesterday to delay the date to hear final tuition proposals until April.
The Regents will make their final decision about which proposal will be implemented in May after the Legislature finishes.
Marvin Burris, Regents member, said the Regents delayed the hearing to give the schools more time to go over final proposals.
The state is facing a $426 million budget shortfall from last fiscal year. When the Legislature decides on the budget, the University of Kansas will know how much state-allocated money it will receive.
This would help the University
Pushing back the date will also give the University of Kansas administration chances to continue the tuition dialogue with students.
decide on which tuition proposal would be most appropriate to submit to the Regents.
Members of Student Senate and University Council formed the Ad-Hoc Committee on University Funding in January to address concerns about tuition increases.
"It makes me feel great," said Dallas Rakestraw, Nunemaker senator representing freshmen and sophomores and the committee's co-chair. "We can cover all bases and our decision doesn't have to be rushed. In addition, we can get proposals to the administration, and they can have plenty of time to review it."
The committee will explore two new proposals this week regarding tuition increases. Some things being taken into consideration are other Regents schools' proposed tuition increases and other Big 12 schools facing tuition increases.
Matt Steppe, Student Senate
Legislative Awareness Board director and a member of the AdhOC Committee, said he was relieved because the group would have an opportunity to explore all the possibilities.

Objectivists club attendance stagnant but interest remains
By Maggie Koerth
Kansan staff writer
Tim Lang, chair of the department of religious studies, has seen many belief systems come and go.
"Just because a group is controversial and visible one year doesn't mean they will be the next," he said.
The KU Objectivists club was a controversial group when it formed last semester. A series of high-profile events, including giving away cake during a KU Greens' peace fast, gave it local media coverage. Because of the coverage, people found out about the group, but since then meeting attendance has been stagnant.
Rachelle Cauthon, Overland Park junior and president of KU Objectivists, said the group's philosophy of putting oneself and personal interests above other people conflicted with a lot of students' beliefs and added to the controversy.
Regardless of the sparse meeting attendance, the number of people at Objectivist events has grown. About 25 people came to their first event and about 40 came to Wednesday night's lecture by Brooklyn, N.Y., professor Andrew Bernstein.
Part of the problem may be that while students are hearing the Objectivist name for the first time they aren't understanding enough of what they hear to be interested.
Rachel Goens, Broding, S.D., senior, said she heard about the club last semester but didn't know anything about Objec-
tivism.
"The chalkings were kind of vague and they really didn't interest me," she said about messages the organization had scrawled with chalk on the sidewalks at the University of Kansas.
Another issue may be that students simply disagree with the philosophy.
Adrienne Banks, Stillwell freshman, attended Bernstein's lecture. She said she didn't like Objectivism because she thought compassion was essential to human survival.
"They don't think people should ever be self-sacrificing and I don't think you can have human relationships without that." she said.
Miller said belief movements could gain a lot of attention at first and then fizzle out.
"We are a country of short attention spans," he said. "When you bring a new idea into an area people might be really excited about it for a while and then the next new thing will come along and people forget."
Cauthon said publicity was not the Objectivist's goal.
"What we want to do is get the philosophy out and get people talking," she said.
Cauthon said it was difficult to overcome the common perception that philosophy was boring and dry. She said events and lectures were a way to interest people and show them how Objectivism affected their lives.
But events may not be the best way to bring people into the group. Miller said the best way
What Is Objectivism?
Objectivism is a philosophy created by Ayn Rand, a Russian-born writer and philosopher.
Objectivists believe people can find happiness by striving to achieve their goals.
Objectivists believe that man is a heroic being.
Objectivists believe it is wrong to be self-sacrificating because it keeps one from achieving one's goals.
Famous Quote: "My philosophy in essence is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement his noblest activity, and reason his only absolute." — Ayn Rand
Source: The Ayn Rand Institute
groups like the Objectivists could get their ideas out was through one-on-one contact.
Cauton said most of the members came to the group through discussion.
Because of this, Cauton wasn't worried about Objectivism falling out of the limelight.
"We don't need lots of publicity. We could keep talking without it," she said. "I don't think we will die out."

MOCK TRIAL

Bell holds three years of experience in mock trial, and said he was impressed with KU's lineup.
The group is coming back from a disappointing season last year when it failed to qualify for nationals for the first time in its four years as a team. Bell said a lack of clearly defined leadership created problems.
"I've never seen a team as prepared or as talented as the one we have this year," he said.
"That really took the focus off us as a competitive team," he said. "It was not an optimal situation."

would be Drake University, of Des Moines.
Bell said the team met Drake's top team earlier this year and did well against it. He said he was hoping for an upset victory.
The team doesn't have a faculty coach but still managed third place finishes behind Drake in the past.
"It's not like you can just try harder," he said. "You either know it or you don't, and you're either calm or you're freaking out."
Faulconer said preparation would be key to the team's success.

Plagiarism debacle continues
The Associated Press
The Wyandotte County district attorney began taking deposition-style testimony yesterday from people involved in the Piper High School plagiarism controversy.
District Attorney Nick Tomasic issued subpoenas last week for members of the Piper school board, district administrators and Christine Pelton, the teacher involved in the case.
Pelton, a biology teacher in the eastern Kansas school district, resigned in December after the board overruled her decision to give zeros to 28 sophomores she accused of plagiarizing a botany project from the Internet.
Tomasic said Pelton would be the first to testify yesterday, followed by board members and administrators today.
He said he was investigating whether the board violated the
Kansas Open Meetings Act Dec. 11 by discussing plagiarism accusations in private and then directing a change in the grading system without a public vote on the matter.
"So far we're questioning whether or not they were proper in going into executive session if they were talking about grading procedures," Tomasic said.
A public body in Kansas can reach a consensus in secret but cannot act on it without a public vote.
He said the board and his office could reach a consent settlement, in which the board would agree they violated the law and then agree not to do it again. Or, he said each board member could be fined up to $500.
"We don't know what happened. All we know is they met, they adjourned and the next morning action was taken." Tomasc said.
Another option, depending on what Tomasic discovers in testimony, could be to file a motion to have the members removed from the board, Tomasic said.
Pelton said she suspected plagiarism because some students' reports contained identical material. She then ran the papers through a computer program that detects whether a paragraph or page is plagiarized from sources on the Internet.
Tomassic said his investigation would take at least a week.
Pelton thought the 28 sophomores shouldn't get any credit for their work, and therefore should flunk her biology class.
But after several parents complained, the board ordered her to give the students partial credit and to decrease the project's value from 50 percent of the final course grade to 30 percent.
Pelton resigned the next day.
AMBASSADORS
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
to spread the word during the past year.
Katie Lang, Stillwill junior and student coordinator of KU Ambassadors, said no one had complained about the few minority ambassadors.
Scott said the ambassadors had done a good job by arranging meetings with student groups, and more diversity within ambassadors would help lead to more diversity on the KU campus.
"We haven't had any feedback, but the campus environment has made us more aware that it's something we might need to improve," Lang said.
Mark Dupree, Kansas City,
Kan., sophomore, and president of Black Student Union, said that there needed to be more minorities in ambassadors, especially when the University was stressing the importance of diversity.
Erica Van Ross, co-coordinator of multicultural recruitment in the Office of Admissions and Scholarships said that more diversity in ambassadors would help.
"I think it would be just as beneficial as diversifying the rest of campus," she said.
Robert Page, director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, said it was important that minority students got involved in both ambassadors and the minority recruitment team, which works out of the Office of Admissions and Scholarships.
Students who want to volunteer as ambassadors must complete an application process to be selected. Members are recruited in the spring. Applications for next year's ambassadors are due March 1 at the Student Organizations and Leadership Development Center on the fourth floor in the Kansas Union.

OPINION
FRIDAY,FEB.15,2002
FACEOFF
Will corporate coffee drown the local scene?
If you don't like Starbucks take your dollar elsewhere
Starbucks opened a store at 647 Massachusetts St. in December 2001. The company paid its federal, state and local taxes and fees. It pays its rent, providing the owner of the building with income. It pays its employees, providing them with income. It provides yet another coffee choice for customers in downtown Lawrence. Additionally, an occupied, busy store is considerably more attractive than an empty storefront, a problem most small towns like Lawrence battle constantly.
So what's the problem?
COMMENTARY
I am a retired teacher. I love teaching and sharing my knowledge with others. My passion is education, and I want to help children learn.
Audrey Snyder
opinion@kansan.com
Some Lawrence residents and University of Kansas students apparently would rather see an empty storefront at Sixth and Massachusetts streets. They dislike what they call the "invasion" of corporate-owned stores in Lawrence; their attention has been focused
on stores such as the Gap, Abercrombie & Fitch, both 647 Massachusetts St., and Starbucks. They fret that these kinds of businesses will compete with locally owned downtown shops and that they will win. They fuss that the addition of national chains to Massachusetts Street will change the character of downtown Lawrence, making it less unique.
These critics overlook many aspects of the issue.
These critics overlook many aspects of the issue. Corporate-owned businesses play the game just like other shop owners. They don't invade viciously, forcing themselves upon the city and upon consumers. Corporate businesses pay licensing fees and city taxes just like locally owned stores. They employ locals and college students, just like stores owned by locals.
Competition is the name of the game. This is a business and economics no-brainer. There are quite a few coffee shops downtown. Somehow, they've managed to coexist for some time. This is why it's unlikely that mom-and-pop coffee shops will be driven out of business by one chain store.
Starbucks is simply another competitor in the game. This shouldn't be a problem, even if one more coffee shop proves to be one too many. When there is more supply than demand, the seller offering the best value or product wins. It has been argued that rent costs for local businesses will rise if corporate-owned businesses compete for shop fronts, because national chains are more able to pay high sums for rent than are local businesses. If this does happen, it will either burden landlords with empty stores and force them to change their rates, or prices in those stores will rise to compensate for the rise in
rent. If their products are better or more varied or if consumers find others to entice them to buy higherpriced items, this problem will work itself out.
But what about image? If Starbucks and the Gap are permitted into the sacred business arena of Massachusetts Street, will downtown Lawrence become synonymous with the Country Club Plaza? It is unlikely that Lawrence residents and students will cease to patronize all of the stores that make the downtown area unique. After all, local shops and their unique goods are what critics of chain stores say Lawrence wants. It's even less likely that the hemp hippies will ever leave the intersection of Ninth and Massachu
setts streets.
No one is forcing you to spend your money or to drink your coffee at Starbucks. The wonder of our free (well, semi-free) market is that the consumer uses his dollar as his vote.
It's a really simple concept. You vote by spending your money at the stores where you receive the best product or selection, the best customer service, the best ambience or the best price. You are therefore voting for that business's continued existence.

If you prefer purple sofas, soft jazz music and yuppies, go to Starbucks. If you like smoky, dark places with local artists' work on the walls and a hippie playing a guitar, go there. If you don't like Starbucks, don't go to Starbucks.
Part of what makes Massachusetts Street so great is the wide variety of shops and services provided along a relatively short stretch of area. From clothing to food to toys to an array of services, Massachusetts Street provides something for just about everyone.

With the uniqueness of Massachusetts Street and its amazing diversity, one would think any new business would be unplanned.
Unfortunately, a new business has graced Lawrence with its presence on Massachusetts Street, and it threatens the diverse coffee shops, which make the street so notable. This business is the corporate coffee entity known as Starbucks.
because of competing businesses.
My objection to Starbucks is not a protest against corporate entities. Stores such as the Gap and Abercrombie & Fitch, both 647 Massachusetts St., are looked at negatively by many, but they do contain clothing items unique and different from other clothing stores in Lawrence.
The protest against Starbucks, also 647 Massachusetts St., arises out of the potential loss of culture. With Starbucks present on Massachusetts Street, a great deal of culture could slowly dwindle away.
This is not an anti-competition essay, either. It is wonderful when consumers can get a great deal
One of the greatest aspects of the Massachusetts Street area is its selection of coffee houses. Whether the shop of choice is Henry's, 11 E. Eighth St., The Java Break, 17 E. Seventh St., or Milton's Coffee & Wine, 920 Massachusetts St., the atmosphere is unique and contains a variety of different people. Many KU students love these coffee shops, and it is easy to see why.
Unfortunately, none of those shops are household names outside of Lawrence. Therefore, new
area will probably not be looking for these shops when searching for a cup of coffee.
Enter Starbucks.
COMMENTARY
Starbucks is a name most of us are familiar with, making it easy to find in phone books and easier to trust for quality because it is a

uniform chain. This leads to many people never bothering to try other coffee merchants in the area.
It is a shame, too. While inside Starbucks, all I could think about was the artificial, plastic atmosphere.
I could not bring myself to finish the latte I ordered. Instead I found myself longing for the intellectual chatter at Henry's, or the fun of looking at used clothing in Java Break. I missed the cozy atmosphere shops like that provided. And while the latte wasn't bad, it didn't hold up to the quality of the local shops.
Starbucks in Lawrence just doesn't make sense. It doesn't hold up to the uniqueness and character the city offers. Although Starbucks does not differ much from Borders Books Music & Cafe, 700 New Hampshire St., at least the latter offers hard to find books and music. Sadly, future entrepreneurs who may have considered opening more unique, locally owned coffee houses may shy away because of Starbucks' presence.
If we love the local coffee houses and want to see them continue to thrive, we must make sure we tell others about how great they really are. Invite friends to go have a coffee and let them see for themselves what they have been missing.
And if you have not tried one of the local places, give it a shot. They are a great place to meet people, and the coffee is excellent.
Do not let a faceless entity ruin the personal touch that makes Massachusetts Street special.

Senate right to follow own rules deny blood drive money
Denying advertising money for the KU Blood Drive was the right thing for the Student Rights Committee of Student Senate to do.
Senate rules and regulations stipulate that any organization that receives money from Senate must be open to all students. Sexually active gay men are not allowed to donate blood. Thus, they are excluded from this activity even though they can participate in other capacities, such as volunteering.
Senate allocated advertising money to the blood drive in the past. But by not allocating the $906 for advertising costs this year, members of the Student Rights Committee set a good precedent.
The lines are clear. Senate should not be allowed to give money to any organization that is not open to all students according to its own rules and regulations. This is because the money Senate allocates to student groups comes from the students. It is unfair to make students pay fees, only for those fees to be allocated to something in which they can't participate.
Justin Mills, student body president, said at the committee meeting last week that the blood drive unfairly discriminated against gays. The restrictions on who can donate blood are misguided and outdated. Males who have had a homosexual experience since 1977 are qualified from
donating blood.
Diseases transmitted through blood, such as AIDS, don't just strike gays. But blood donation restrictions won't be changed because a Student Senate committee in the middle of Kansas decided to take a stand.
The Food and Drug Administration sets the guidelines regarding who can donate blood. It's not enough for members of the Student Rights Committee to fail the bill to allocate money to the blood drive. They should write letters to those in charge of the policy. They should have stood next to members of Queers and Allies when they protested the policy at the blood drive last semester. The fight shouldn't end at a Senate committee meeting.
Those of us who are eligible should give blood, and the Student Rights Committee should be applauded for not giving student money to an activity that discriminates against certain groups of people.
Members of the Student Rights Committee don't want students to throw the baby out with the bath water. The blood drive is an important cause, and we should all contribute to the blood drive, Feb. 25 through March 1, at one of the locations on campus.

Stress relief available in many forms
Sleep, eating right help reduce stress say local experts
By Summer Lewis Kansan staff writer
As class work begins to pile up, experts recommend anything from masturbation to exercise and planning ahead as ways of deal with stress.
Relieving sexual tension relieves stress, said Dennis Dailey, professor of human sexuality.
"Probably most effective is masturbation, since sexual interactions are often stressful in and of themselves," Dailey said. "I would never recommend 'sex' as a stress reliever, but recognize that sexual release does relieve tension for some folk."

Keep in contact with friends and loved ones.
Avoid excessive, regular consumption of alcohol.

Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that students needed to get plenty of sleep and adequate nourishment.
Avoid staying out late on a regular basis.
'Sleep allows your body to naturally restore the levels of energy and rest to where they need to be." Keeler said.
"There are many things that can be helpful, but these are the things that will serve them the best."
She also said contact with friends and loved ones helped reduce stress levels.
"Look for support from people around you," she said. "Human beings are social animals and contact with other people helps to modulate stress."
Planning ahead can also help, she said.
"If you know that there is a situation that is going to be stressful, such as having to work out a relationship or cleaning duties among roommates, the time to do it is not really late at night when everyone is tired," Keeler said. "It is much easier to resolve these situations on a weekend. Thinking ahead about situations that need negotiations and compromise is important for stress management."

"Getting the work done or breaking it down into more reasonable amounts is a wonderful stress relief technique," she said. "Also, limiting alcohol will help because excess alcohol intake creates far more stress than it ever relieves."
GREENVILLE, S.C. - Bob Jones University, the fundamentalist Christian school that banned interracial dating up until two years ago, is recruiting minorities in hopes of shaking its racist image.
The Associated Press
More than 40 minority students have applied for aid through two new funds that are sponsored by private donations, and nine have won scholarships so far, said Dan Hicks, a liaison between the university and the scholarships' boards.

"Another reason is that we're so often pointed out as being so racist," he said. "We wanted to take a stab, at least, to overcome that stereotype."
Bush was criticized for failing to address the school's ban on interracial dating and statements by Bob Jones III that were perceived as anti-Catholic and anti-Mormon.
The school was thrust into the national spotlight when George W. Bush stopped there during his presidential campaign two years ago.
In the wake of the criticism, Jones, president of the university founded by his grandfather 75 years ago, announced the school would drop its ban on interracial dating.
Man convicted of rapes released after 15 years
The Associated Press
NORRISTOWN, Pa. — A man convicted of committing two rapes 15 years ago was released from prison yesterday after prosecutors said DNA evidence raised questions about his guilt.
Judge Gerald Corso granted Bruce Godschalk's request for a new trial, but prosecutors said they would ask the court to dismiss all charges rather than retry him. He was serving a 10-to-20-year sentence.
Godschalk had confessed,
but later said he was coerced.
He said yesterday he plans to live in the house his late mother left him.
"I lost my whole family while I was in jail — my mother, my father, my sister," he said.
did not know whether Godschalk was innocent, but said he could not prove his guilt.
Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce Castor said he
"We are not in the business of keeping people in prison that we cannot prove are guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, and that's the situation we have now." Castor said.

After Godschalk sued for the release of DNA evidence, Castor and the Innocence Project had tests conducted on sperm samples taken from the two rapes.
Labs hired by both the defense and prosecution agreed the sperm appeared to be from the same man but not from Godschalk.

Kappa Delta, Delta Chi to help needy children
By Caroline Boyer
Kansan staff writer
Some sorority and fraternity members will soon gain experience working with children with special needs.
Kappa Delta sorority and Delta Chi fraternity will begin volunteering Monday at the Brookcreek Learning Center. 200 Mount Hope Court. Members will volunteer one or two hours per week for the rest of the semester.
The center is a non-profit agency affiliated with the United Way. The center focuses on caring for children with special needs or behavioral problems, many of whom have been referred from other centers.
"A lot of our children come from low-income, multi-problem families," said Kelly Frantz, projects coordinator at the center. "Some of them have come from abusive families or have learning disabilities."
The center helps teach children cognitive, motor, social and self-help skills, and works on language development. Frantz said the center received funding from grants, but it really needed donations of clothes for the children. Kappa Delta donated nine boxes of coats and mittens to the center last semester.
Frantz said the center also needed regular volunteers.
"Volunteers offer us the opportunity to focus on one or two children at a time," Frantz said. "Delta Chi and Kappa Delta made a commitment to say, 'Yes, we want to help and here are the people who want to help,' so it's been a great opportunity."
Joey Rayl, Hutchinson sophomore and Delta Chi member, said the volunteers hoped to create something that would go beyond this semester.
"That's our goal — to set up some sort of fund for them and have it be something that we can contribute to every year," Rayl said.
Kappa Delta and Delta Chi are
also raising money to help buy new computers for the center. Frantz said the center often used educational computer games to teach the children, and the outdated computers at the center were too slow and did not capture the children's attention.
"For children with behavioral problems, if they have to wait two or three minutes for a game to load, that's two or three minutes to poke their neighbor," Frantz said.
Rayl said that, although some of the children have special needs, he thought the volunteers would be able to interact well with them.
"I think we'll be fine. Everybody at one point has been around kids like that," Rayl said. "I went there and they seem like good kids."

Courts find Saudi man guilty
The Associated Press
PHOENIX — A Saudi man was convicted yesterday of lying to the FBI when he denied knowing one of the Sept. 11 hijackers.
Faisal Al Salmi repeatedly denied knowing Hani Hanjour, one of the terrorists aboard the plane that hit the Pentagon, during a series of interviews, prosecutors said.
Al Salmi, 34, was the first person convicted on charges connecting him to the hijackers. He was not charged with terrorism, but could receive up to six months behind bars when he is sentenced on March 14.
Attorney General John Ashcroft said after Al Salmi's indictment was unsealed in October that the government "will bring the full weight of the law upon those who attempt to impede or hinder" the terrorism investigation.
Prosecutors said Al Salmi and Hanjou were registered at the
same time to use a flight simulator that was open to the public at a Phoenix flight school.
FBI agents testified during Al Salmi's trial that he had changed his story during the interviews, eventually acknowledging he had met Hanjour on different occasions.
Al Salmi's attorney, Gerald Williams, didn't deny his client and Hanjour had met, but told jurors there was a difference between meeting people and knowing them.

State wildlife officials expect West Nile virus to hit Kansas
The Associated Press
WICHITA — Though many expect the West Nile virus to eventually reach Kansas, there are no signs yet that it has arrived. But entomologists and state wildlife officials are on the lookout anyway.
Wildlife workers have trapped about 100 crows in west Wichita during the past several days and have drawn their blood to test for West Nile.
Crows are susceptible to the virus, which was first detected in the United States in 1999 in birds at the Bronx Zoo. It has been spreading westward since, as far as Missouri.
"West Nile virus will be here next year if not this year," said Charlie Cope of the Kansas
Department of Wildlife and Parks.
Mosquitoes that feed on infected birds can transmit the virus to other birds, animals or humans. If bitten by an infected mosquito, the majority of people would not get sick. But the elderly and those with weak immune systems could become ill and show flu-like symptoms. Several people have died of the virus, for which there is no treatment.
The monitoring project is an effort by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Kansas State University and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
If banded crowes are found dead of the virus somewhere else, scientists will know they picked it up somewhere between Wichita and that location, said Tom Janousek, an independent entomologist from Omaha, Neb., who is leading the project.
The monitoring effort also will include testing mosquitoes this spring and summer and looking for dead crows that could have the virus. People who see dead birds now should not be concerned, Janousek said.
When West Nile does arrive in Kansas, "it's going to get a lot of press, but it should be a small concern to them."
Preventing mosquito bites is the best way people can protect themselves this summer, he said.

Show K-State who's boss; support your home team
The "Purple People" are coming.
No, not some three-armed intruder from Pluto or Mars, but rather a band of purple-clad Manhattanites from the West.
They're ready to make Jayhawk basketball fans bleed crimson all over James Naismith Court.
Kansas State comes to Allen Fieldhouse on Sunday for a 3 p.m. "Sunflower State Showdown" in women's basketball.
The problem is that K-State has pounded the Jayhawks on the football field during the past decade. Kansas has equally dominated men's basketball.
Now it looks as though the rivalry that is Kansas/K-State might have yet another dominant team.
Although Kansas has won 20 of the past 28 meetings, this is the worst season ever for Kansas, which sits at 5-21.
If the No. 12-ranked Wildcats win on Sunday, they would have the most victories, 22, since the 1986-1987 season.
That's why the Showdown is so important.
I understand that Kansas is really bad this season and is in serious jeopardy of going 0-16 in the Big 12 Conference.
I don't care if Jayhawk fans don't support the women's team,but they need to show up Sunday to protect their home turf because K-State fans are coming.
Wildcat supporters have backed their women this season, averaging more than 11,000 in attendance for the last six games at Bramlage Coliseum.
Wednesday's game between the Wildcats and the No. 4 Oklahoma Sooners drew a crowd of 11,789 - the fourth-best total in K-State history. The Wildcats are having a strong season for attendance this year, drawing a total of more than 90,000 fans.
Kansas on the other hand has had the worst fan support in the Big 12 a few more than 10,000 fans have shown up.
But it's not just the Wildcat fans coming from Manhattan who are a problem. Alumni will flock from Kansas City and the small towns scattered around I-70 between Manhattan and Lawrence.
Unless Jayhawk fans take the initiative Sunday, Allen Fieldhouse could contain an outrageous ratio of nearly 10-1 K-State fans to Kansas fans.
Even K-State's men's team, which has been overshadowed all season by the women's team, drew a nearly-packed house a couple of weeks ago when the Jayhawks came to town for their annual victory.
So, KU students, shake off those Saturday night hangovers, and come out to watch your Jayhawks.
Throw on a blue T-shirt and come out just to watch some young, talented instate players who K-State beat Kansas to the punch on.
The Wildcats start three freshmen, a sophomore and one senior, but it's been the play of in-state freshmen Laurie Koehn of Hesston, and Kendra Wecker of Marysville, that has made this Wildcat team so fun to watch this season.
Or maybe, Sunday will be the day that Kansas picks up a win. After all, K-State is in the midst of its only losing streak of the season.
And who knows maybe, just maybe, Manhattan might freeze over on Sunday.

Baylor upset fresh in'Hawks' minds
By Brent Wasko Kansan sportswriter
The No. 2 Kansas men's basketball team doesn't want to forget its devastating 85-77 upset loss to Baylor last year in Waco, Texas.
Kansas was in prime position to make a run at the Big 12 Conference regular season crown until the Bears shocked the Jayhawks on ESPN's Big Monday. The pain and the lessons learned from that game still linger.
"I remember I was mad before the game because I didn't think our guys were focused," said Kansas coach Roy
Williams said. "I warned them, hoping it would shake them up in the locker room because I didn't like our attitude, didn't like the way we were walking, sitting, talking, anything about it whatsoever. Before you know it, we're down 27."
This year's Jayhawk team, with a 22-2 overall record and an 11-0 Big 12 record, will face Baylor in a somewhat similar scenario at 3 p.m. tomorrow in Allen Fieldhouse. With five games remaining in the regular season, Kansas has a three-game lead in the Big 12 and seems to be on its way to a conference championship.
This could be a case of deja vu for the Jayhawks.
"It is in the back of our minds because last year they let the title game slip away, but we are just going to try and take it one game at a time," freshman forward Wayne Simien said. "Baylor is a dangerous team."
Baylor comes to Allen Fieldhouse as the underdog with a 14-10 record overall and a 4-7 record in the Big 12.
The Bears have been erratic all season. They defeated Texas A&M by 52 points and sneaked past Missouri at home 81-80 while the Tigers were still ranked as the No. 22 team in the country. But those wins have been overshadowed by losses to teams such as Texas-Pan American and Rice. The squad has also struggled on the road, losing all seven games it has played away from home.
The Bears are a fairly young team and some of their players have put up strong numbers. Freshman Lawrence Roberts leads the team in scoring and rebounding, averaging 16.3 points and grabbing 8.2 boards a game. Junior Wendell Greenleaf leads the Big 12 in

Adjusting to life as freshmen Kansas basketball players has been difficult for best friends Aaron Miles and Michael Lee.
But Lee said having each other to talk to made the transition a little easier.
"I think at times when, as far as basketball, I'm not doing so good. I've got him on my side. It's the same way when he gets down," Lee said. "He's somebody who has known me half my life and knows how best to talk to me. We keep each other together."
The teammates have faced challenges together for most of their lives, but nothing prepared them for the intensity, the stress and the fun of playing basketball at Kansas.
Friends since childhood
"We were always close," Miles said. "We basically lived together when we were in Portland. I mean he lived right down the street."
The friendship between Lee and Miles began before they decided to play basketball at Kansas. They met in their hometown of Portland, Ore., while still in grade school, and became good friends.
1
Miles and Lee shared many great moments together at Jefferson High School. Both were successful basketball players. Their team won the Oregon state basketball championship in 1999-2000 with a perfect 28-0 record. The squad also finished ranked No.4 in the nation.
Off the court, Miles and Lee performed well in the classroom.
Miles had a 3.7 grade point average and Lee had a 3.3 GPA— grades good enough to place them on the honor roll.
Aaron Miles
Miles was the student body vice president his senior year.
Miles and Lee knew they would attend college and would continue to participate in athletics after high school, but few predicted the two would end up together on the Kansas basketball team.
ey
Lee was offered opportunities to play football after graduation. In high school he had played six different positions on the gridiron and was one of his team's top performers. As a senior, Lee became the favorite target for quarterback Aaron Miles.
More coaches recruited Lee to play football than to play basketball. The Oregon basketball team offered him the option of taking a redshirt, but Lee said a basketball scholarship at Kansas was too good to pass up.
"Not that many people get the opportunity to play at the highest level of basketball," Lee said. "I didn't really have that many scholarship offers, so the minute I saw this school, I knew it would be a positive for me. It was my best option."
teams across the country wanted Miles. He was listed as the No. 4 high school point guard prospect in the country and as the No.11 prospect overall by ESPN.com. He was selected to the McDonald's All-American team and was the Gatorade Player of the Year in Oregon during his senior season.
Miles had a more difficult time deciding where he wanted to play. He knew one thing for sure — he was going to play basketball. It was just a matter of where.
Kansas coach Roy Williams recruited Miles heavily, but Lee said he and Miles never talked about the
recruiting process or about playing together at Kansas.
Miles narrowed his search to three schools UCLA, Arizona and Kansas. Around that same time Lee signed with Kansas. Miles didn't immediately follow his friend to Lawrence. He took a few more weeks before deciding to become a Jayhawk.
"We were traveling with our AAU team, and coach Williams would go to a few games to talk to Aaron," Lee said. "We never talked about coming together, but we did talk about the school."
Lee said he didn't think Miles' decision was totally based on the fact that he had already signed to play at Kansas.

"I think that had something to do with it," Lee said. "Even before Kansas recruited me, this was one of his No. 1 options."
Not everything they expected
The No.2 Kansas basketball team has seen its share of success this season, with a 22-2 overall record and a perfect 11-0 record in the Big 12 Conference. Yet Miles and Lee said they were not fully satisfied with the way things had gone for them personally.
Miles came to Kansas with some fans comparing him to former Jayhawk star point guard Jacque Vaughn. Miles even decided to

The last time Kansas met up with its in-state rivals, the Jayhawks were the heavy underdog.
KU Sackst
Sunday afternoon the Jayhawks will get a second shot at claiming a year's worth of bragging rights when they play Kansas State at 3 p.m. at Allen Fieldhouse.
Ranked No. 11 at the time, the Wildcats handed the Jayhawks a 72-59 defeat, but Kansas coach Marian Washington said her team played some of its best basketball at Kansas State a few weeks ago.
"We did a good job in Manhattan," Washington said. "I thought we played very well. Hopefully, we can do as well if not better on Sunday. We'll just have to see what happens."

Kansas softball team heads to Las Vegas for weekend games
Bv Ali Brox
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas softball team has the opportunity to pick up two more victories against ranked teams this weekend at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas Classic.
Last weekend at the Fiesta Bowl Classic in Phoenix, the Jayhawks defeated No. 17 Southwest Texas and No. 6 Arizona State.
Kansas (3-2) lost to No. 5 California-Berkeley in its second game in Arizona, but will get the chance to avenge that loss this Sunday when Kansas faces the Bears again at noon
"We get another chance against Cal this weekend, and I think that we're more prepared now than we were before," senior shortstop Courtney Wright said. "I think that if we just keep pounding away that we're going to get a win against Cal and they're another ranked team, so I think we feel really good all around. We seem to play better against ranked teams anyway."
Before the rematch with California, the Jayhawks must play No. 18 Oregon State at 3 p.m. and the host school, UNLV, at 5:30 p.m. today. Oregon State is off to its best start ever with an 8-1 record. The Beavers' only defeat came in their first

Afghans play soccer match where executions took place

KABUL, Afghanistan — Where gallows once stood, there are now goalposts. Where the Taliban once conducted public executions and amputations, a stadium is prepared for a sporting event.
The Associated Press
It is a sign of normalcy returning to Afghanistan, which will stage its first international soccer game in seven years today.
The 30,000-seat stadium is already sold out. Interim Prime Minister Hamid Karzai is expected to open the game, which pits Kabul's top players against a team of peacekeepers.
against a team of peacekeepers.
"The fact that there is now a football game in a place where there were once executions is proof that the Taliban reign of terror is finally over," said Lt. Col. Dietmar Jesierich of the German peacekeeping force. "It's a good idea to have this game now and show people that these times are over."
Afghanistan was suspended from the International Olympic Committee in 1999, in part because the Taliban prohibited women from competing in sports. The Taliban, which discouraged sports, also severed ties with FIFA, international soccer's governing body.
During the Taliban's rule, athletes were forced to wear beards and pants that reached down below their knees. They were also forbidden to train after 4 p.m., which was prayer time.
"This will be the first international game in Afghanistan in seven years," Sharif said. "I am very happy and I will enjoy this a lot."
"Now we are free players," said Sharif, an Afghan defender. Like many Afghans he uses only one name.
Former Tottenham star Gary Mabbutt and ex-Southampton manager Lawrie McMenemy will coach the teams.
"They do not speak English, but football is a common language and we got along well," McMenemy said after a training session with the Afghan.
Aiglans. English soccer giants Manchester United and Liverpool are supporting the game by donating the match ball used in one of their Premier League matches. The ball will be signed by players from both teams, including stars David Beckham of Manchester United and Michael Owen of Liverpool.
The Taliban conducted public executions on Fridays at the stadium and also amputated the hands of criminals there, often displaying the severed limbs to the crowd. Last year, two suspected bombers were hanged from the gallows.
At the stadium Thursday, workers were painting the goalposts and putting fresh boundary lines on a grass field that was mostly brown because of the recent drought in Afghanistan.

Allen has many ties to Iowa. He and McCarney both grew up in Iowa City, Iowa. Allen was head coach at I-AA Northern Iowa, his alma mater, for eight seasons.

"That's what we're working toward, and we hope we get it finished in the near future," said Iowa State coach Dan McCarney. "We hope within the next few days we can get this finalized."
Although McCarney has never coached with Allen, he instructed the former Kansas coach as a student-coach on Allen's high school track team
McCarney he would name Allen assistant head coach if Allen takes the job. McCarney he would be happy to get a coach of Allen's caliber.
"Even though we both look the same, I am a little bit older," McCarney said with a laugh.

"I think every coach keeps a short list in terms of who you want to hire when you have an opening and Terry is definitely one of those guys," McCarney said. "I've always admired and respected him."

Jayhawks take on Centenary hope home runs keep coming
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
Coach Bobby Randall was pleased with the Kansas baseball team's home run assault that led to a 10-6 victory against Ottawa on Tuesday, and he hopes for more of the same as the team takes on Centenary tonight.
"I think that was a glimpse of what we're hoping to do offensively," he said.
The Jayhawks (1-0) will head to Shreveport, La., to take on Centenary (4-3) for a three game series starting tonight. It will be the first ever meeting between Kansas and the independent school.
Cayman 10
Randall said the joy that came with knocking one out of the park could almost be damaging.
"If you start focusing on the result, and not the execution, you don't get the result," he said. "As long as we don't try to hit home runs, we'll hit a bunch."
LAURIE SISK/KANSAN
Seniors Jeff Davis, Jake Wright and Dan Olson will start on the mound for the three-game set. Olson (1-0) was the starting pitcher Tuesday against Ottawa, pitching six innings and allowing two earned runs for the win.
The pitching staff hopes for more of the same offensively, but Randall said the team had room for improvement in all aspects of the game.
"Some of the things we did well, we did inconsistently, like making contact," he said. "Defensively, we weren't real crisp. And for the most part, those are things you expect to improve on."
Game times are set for 7 p.m. today, 1 p.m. tomorrow and noon on Sunday. Kansas returns home to play Kansas Newman on Tuesday at Hoglund Ballpark.
Notes:
Junior outfielder Jason Appuhn will not start this weekend. Appuhn, penciled in as the starting left fielder in preseason, is still recovering from off season shoulder surgery, which has limited his ability to throw.
"We'll use him as a pinch runner, maybe a pinch hitter, but he's not ready to go." Randall said. "We're missing Jason. That guy is one of our best outfielders."
Centenary has won three of its last four, including a 4-3 victory over Lamar University on Wednesday.

at the half. But Kansas fell behind by 15 points after the break and was unable to stop K-State's Kendra Wecker, who finished with a game-high 23 points.
This time around, the Wildcats (21-5, 9-4) enter town with a rare two-game losing streak, giving the Jayhawks some much-needed confidence.
"To be honest with you I think that we can beat Kansas State." Washington said.
"This team has a lot of reasons to have some confidence going into that game. I certainly have a lot of confidence."
After Wednesday's seven point loss to Nebraska, Washington and her team still seemed upbeat about Sunday's matchup. Although the Jayhawks have yet to break their school-record 13-game losing streak, the players said they have had no trouble getting ready for the Wildcats.
"I think it's going to be fun, really fun because I know the pressure that we put on Nebraska, there's no way K-State can handle that," sophomore guard Leila Menguc said. "They will get tired. They don't play that many people so I know that we can put pressure on them. It's going to be fun."

K-State fans expected for Sunday's Showdown
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
The Wildcats (21-5 overall, 9-4 Big 12 Conference play) come to Allen Fieldhouse for a 3 p.m. tipoff Sunday, but they're bringing more than just their team.
The Kansas State women's basketball team might feel like it was given an extra home game on its conference schedule.
Thousands of Wildcat faithful are expected to be in attendance
for the Sunflower Showdown against Kansas (5-21, 0-13). The game is expected to easily top the highest single game attendance mark of the season, set on Jan. 12 when 1,909 fans watched Missouri beat Kansas 66-48.
K-State comes to Lawrence after losing their last two games. They fell 79-61 to Nebraska last Sunday and lost to No. 4 Oklahoma 76-68 Wednesday night, in part because of 19 Wildcat turnovers.
"If you turn the ball over, it makes
it really hard to win the basketball game," said K-State coach Deb Patterson. "I felt like that was one of the significant differences in the game."
K-State's top three scorers are all Kansas natives. Sophomore forward Nicole Ohlde averages 18.8 points per game to pace the Wildcats. Freshman guard Laurie Koehn averages 17.4 points, and freshman forward Kendra Wecker averages 16.5 points and 8.1 rebounds per contest.
The Jayhawks traveled to Manhattan on Jan. 23, and lost 72-59 in front of 8,823 fans at Bramlage Coliseum. Both Wecker and Koehn scored more than 20 points, with Koehn connecting on five of her seven three-point shots.
Kansas coach Marian Washington said that the uncharacteristic losing by K-State may lead to a motivated Wildcat squad.

Provocative director perseveres
The Associated Press
CAIRO, Egypt — Some see Inas el-Degheidi as a feminist fighting through her films for the rights of Egyptian women. Others argue that Egypt's most famous female director gets attention the easy way — by filming cheap sex scenes. Islamic militants simply think el-Degheidi should be dead, police say.
As one of the first, and the few, women to have invaded what is a male-dominated career, el-Degheidi is used to controversy.
"I was the first to tackle subjects that were banned in the cinema, so they shock people. Maybe in the future people will say, 'This woman was courageous,'" el-Degheidi said.
Of militants, she said, "they say I've crossed the red lines in art, and I say art knows no red lines."
Late last year, police said a
group of Islamic militants plotted to kill el-Degheildi. The group's other targets, according to police and prosecutors, included President Hosni Mubarak and Mohammed Sayed Tantawi, the government-appointed head of Al-Azhar mosque and university, one of Islam's oldest and most prominent institutions.
"I did not take it seriously at first, and to be honest I felt happy for a moment on hearing the news, because they put my name among those of very important people and saw me as someone who can change history." el-Deeghedi said.
Police offered to assign her guards, but she refused.
El-Degheidi argues that her movies advocate "defending women's rights, women's feelings and dignity.
"Our traditions, customs and maybe our religion — though it
gave women a lot — didn't make women equals of men in many aspects ... I am not convinced of this, I can't be a follower," she said.
Her movies have covered such subjects as prostitution and selling girls into marriage. One movie, Disco, Disco, tackled the educational system, drugs, homosexuality and extremism among youth.
Since her debut as a director in 1984, she has directed 13 movies and won a number of prizes at home and abroad. She caught the attention of critics and viewers alike with her earlier movies, widely seen as both daring and important.
Many argue, however, that in her later work el-Degheidi has compromised art for commercialism, relying on scenes of scantily dressed, sultry women and sexually loaded conversations in movies that had poor, or no, story lines.

wear Vaughn's No.11 on the back of his uniform. He said the expectations have been difficult for him to live up too.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Miles hasn't buckled under pressures of success. He started all 24 games this season and has lead the team in assists, averaging 6.4 a game. On Jan. 9 in a game against Nebraska, Miles had 12 assists—the most-ever assists by a freshman in University history. Also, his 43 steals rank him second on the team.
Freshman point guard Aaron Miles works the ball down the court against Iowa State's Ricky Morgan. Miles and freshman teammate Michael Lee grew up together in Portland, Ore., before coming to Kansas.
KANSAS 11
Miles has struggled in other areas, though, especially shooting the basketball. He averaged 20 points a game in high school, but has only averaged 6.7 a game for the Jayhawks. His 41.7 percent shooting from the field is the worst percentage of any starter. He also has the second most turnovers on the team, throwing the ball away 72 times this season.
"I was hoping to do better than I'm doing," Miles said. "I had high expectations of myself, which I still do. I have a lot of stuff to work on during the off-season."
Miles said he felt uneasy when he showed up for the first day of practice with the team, but his teammates, especially Lee, provided him with confidence and put him as ease.
"Mike is my boy. It was big to have him around," he said.
"Everyone on the team is real cool. So, even if Mike and I weren't cool right now for some reason, we have the other players around us that would make us feel comfortable."
Lee said he was still satisfied with his decision to play at Kansas, but like most players, he wished that he had the opportunity to play more.
In high school, Lee was a star basketball player. He started for the team and averaged 19.7 points per game his senior season. He also received first-team All-State honors in Oregon.
Lee said he envisions better days in the years to come.
Lee's experience with the Jayhawk basketball team has been different. He typically plays only 3.6 minute a game, often coming in when games are completely out of hand. When he has come in, Lee hasn't been overly impressive. He is 11-for-27 from the field and averages just 1.4 points a game.
"I'd like to play more," he said. "I understand that I have a role on the team. When I get the chance to play, I should appreciate it. At times, I slip up, but I've been trying to go out there and have fun."
Miles said the lack of playing time had been hard for his friend.
"In high school, he played a lot of minutes and got more attention," Miles said. "He didn't use to siting down. He's a great player and his minutes
will increase. He can shoot the ball and is a great defender."
Friends forever
Lee said his relationship with Miles hadn't changed much since they became friends long ago, but they do see each other more now than ever before. They live together, practice together
and play together.
Lee said spending that quantity of time together had put strain on their relationship.
"We argue more now than ever," Lee said. "Back home, we didn't see each other all day long. Now we get on each other's nerves, but I guess that's what good friends do."
Miles and Lee haven't had
seasons as good as they had envisioned, but they have adjusted to life as freshmen and remained friends through the ups and downs of playing college basketball.

Officials may award gold to Canadian pairs skaters
The Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — Two gold medals?
The International Olympic Committee wouldn't rule out the possibility that a second gold medal could be awarded to the Canadian pairs skaters as a way to end the judging controversy that has dominated the Winter Games.
The union's meeting is scheduled for Monday.
IOC member Kevan Gospel said the International Skating Union hadn't discussed such a proposal, but added, "I'm not saving it can happen."
rewarded if any evidence of wrongdoing was uncovered.
Canadian officials said they didn't want Elena Berezhaya and Anton Siharulidze stripped of the gold medal, but they believed Jamie Sale and David Pelletier should be
In 1993, the IOC awarded a second gold medal in synchronized swimming from the Barcelona Games to Canada's Sylvie Frechette. The IOC's executive board agreed that Frechette was placed second because of a judging error and should be awarded a gold.
The IOC's decision did not affect Kristen Babb-Sprague of the United States, who was originally awarded the gold.
French judge Marie-Reine Le Gougne is at the center of the controversy in Salt Lake City.
Didier Gaillaguet, head of the French Olympic committee and the country's figure skating federation, said Le Gougne was pressured before she voted for the Russians Monday night.
During an interview, he said she was "somewhat manipulated,"but he denied any wrongdoing by his federation.
But yesterday, Gailhaguet said his remarks had been misinterpreted.
Le Gougne is one of five judges who favored the Russians despite a technical error.
She voted along with majority, which included former Eastern bloc members Russia, Poland, Ukraine and China.
International Skating Union rules prevent judges from commenting publicly about decisions.
IOC director Francois Carrard said the skating chief assured Rogge that the ice dance competition, often the subject of disputed judging, would "be presented in the most proper way" when it begins Friday.
Russian takes gold in men's skating
The Associated Press
When the 21-year-old Alexei Yagudin was done, he collapsed to his knees, then kissed the ice. He knew this was a moment of a lifetime, and by the time he reached the "Kiss and Cry" area, he was bawling. He had won the gold medal in Olympic figure skating.
The quick-witted Russian, who spends much of his time in the United States, said he was showing his appreciation for his part-time home.
"I just fell to my knees and
His head was buried in his hands while the 5.9s and 6.0s flashed across the scoreboard after last night's performance. He became the first man at any Winter Olympics to score more than one 6.0.
kiss the ice because I live here and won the gold medal here," he said.
"I was just thinking of the hard times I went through," said Yagudin, who had a high fever in Nagano and was plague by injuries last season. "Last season was like hell, but I am strong
He joined 1994 Olympic gold medalist Alexei Urmanov and '98 winner Ilia Kulik as Russian champions. The 1992 gold medal went to Victor Preneko of Ukraine, who was trained in the same system that had produced the current men's dynasty.
and I just showed that. It is one of my best."
Americans Tim Goebel, Todd Eldredge and Michael Weiss finished third, sixth and seventh respectively. This was the first time since 1992 that an American had won a medal in the event.
American skater electrifies crowd in short-track race
The Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — Apolo Anton Ohno stepped out from behind the wall and thousands of fans who've never seen a short-track speed skating race burst into wild applause.
Forget the hype. Enough of the controversy. It was time for one of America's best Olympic hopes to hit the ice Wednesday night.
Ohno began his quest for four medals by finishing second in his 1,000-meter heat, good enough to push him to Saturday's quarterfinals.
He came back to anchor the U.S. team that won its semifinal heat in the 5,000 relay, delighting the sellout crowd of 15,394 when he burst away from the Italian team with about seven laps to go. Ohno finished off the victory by gliding across the line on one skate, punching a fist in the air.
"My heart rate definitely went up," he said. "This is the opportunity of a lifetime."
Ohno didn't have a chance to win any medals on the opening night of this crazy sport — the women's 1,500 was the only final. Not that it mattered. The fans made it clear who they came to see.
"Ohno! Ohno!" was the roar of the upper deck.
Anotherfan had up a sign that said, "Oh-No! Oh Yes!"
The 5-foot-7 teen-ager, nicknamed "Chunky" for the stumpy body that allows him to virtually lay on the ice in the turns, showed enough flair to leave everyone satisfied.
Ohno, also bothered by the flu, is expected to win more medals than any other American — maybe even four golds. He ranked first in all three individual distances during his last full World Cup season and was part of the world championship relay team.
But Ohno also was tainted by controversy, stemming from allegations by another skater that he conspired to fix a race at the national trials so a close friend also would make the Olympic team.
An arbitrator ruled there wasn't enough evidence to throw Ohno off the team, and his accuser withdrew the complaint.

steals with a 2.52 average. He also scored 19 points against Missouri.
Williams said Baylor posed some challenges for his Jawhawks.
"You look at their stats and they've really done a good job in a lot of areas," he said. "The one thing where they have struggled some is the rebounding, so we've got to make sure we make that a positive in our favor. They have also shot the ball well from the three-point line."
A Kansas victory against Baylor would give the Jayhawks a huge advantage in the Big 12 standings. Simien said the Big 12 title is on everyone's mind, but the team can't get too carried away.
"Being undefeated in the Big 12, we know that everyone is going to come out and try to knock us off and end our perfect conference season," Simien said. "By all means, I don't think that this last part of the season is going to be any easier than the first part of the season." Notes:
- Kansas junior forward Drew Gooden, who leads the team in scoring, missed practice yesterday because of illness. Williams said he didn't know exactly what ailment Gooden was suffering from but that it was obvious Gooden was sick.
"Drew doesn't feel good or look good." Williams said. "When he was in my office earlier today, he said he was freezing. I could see that he was sweating. Hopefully, this is just one of those 24-hour things."
Williams said if Gooden was still sick tomorrow, Simien would start in his place against Baylor. William made several comments at his weekly press conference yesterday about his reaction to a recent University Daily Kansan column. The column claimed that Williams was "a man that won't go to bat for the flag" because the use of ROTC during pregame festivities at home basketball games had been temporarily suspended because of timing issues.
"It's been a very disappointing time." Williams said. "Tuesday, I had to spend all my time wondering how something like that could happen. That hurt. For somebody to make some of those accusations and statements — it was not a pleasant day. I'm glad it's over with."

game of the season against Brigham Young.
UNLV brings a 3-4 record to its own tournament. The Rebels, like the Jayhawks, competed in the Fiesta Bowl Classic last weekend. Kansas and UNLV also played in the UNLV Classic a year ago with the Rebels winning 2-0.
"we did a good job last weekend, and we just need to carry it into this weekend," senior left fielder Christi Musser said. "We'll still be tested this weekend, and we can play a lot better than we did last Friday."
Tomorrow, Kansas plays Cal-Poly and Oregon. Both schools are 3-2 so far this season. The Jayhawks game against Cal-Poly will be the first meeting between the schools.
The lahawks are not ignoring the importance of every game in the Classic, but playing better in their second shot at California is definitely a focus.
"I think this time we're definitely going to be ready for them," senior third baseman Megan Urquhart said. "We know what they have, and I think it's better going in as the underdogs because right now we really don't have anything to lose, and they do. And especially coming off last weekend with the last three wins, we right now have a lot of confidence."
Seniors Christi Musser and Katie Campbell are coming off good performances at the plate last weekend. Musser, who was chosen as the season's first Big 12 Player of the Week, hit two home runs and finished with a .545 batting average in the tournament.
"It's really exciting for the team for her to do well," coach Tracy Bunge said. "It's a big boost for the team. She had a very good weekend."
Campbell started all five games as the designated player and tied Musser for the team lead with six hits, including four for extra bases. She finished with an .462 average for the weekend.

No, it wasn't a drunken bedroom bowel,
it was part of the stairway now on the metal satire band GWAR. About 100 people attended the event.
"It's just a huge, epic, horror show," said Beeckafe the Mighty, bass player and vocalist for the band. "It's like a stadium size show, crammed into a small venue. It's like 50 pounds of shit packed in to a 10 pound bag."
All members of the band go by the names of the bizarre creatures they portray on stage.
GWAR took the stage at 10:10 p.m. to the sounds of a fight, with punches being thrown and landed. The crowd called "GWAR," — just as they had done before during and after its opening act, Godothore, took the stage.

"Even 48-year-old women can get down to GWAR." Barbara Ponder said.
GWAR also spanned a generation gap, said Barbara Ponder, who watched GWAR for the fourth time with her 26-year-old twin sons, Timothy and Thomas. She said at her first GWAR show her son put on her stage to be put in "the meat grinder." Since then she has come to know the group. Her son Thomas boasted that the group calls her "GWAR Mama."
"Last week, Tim and Tom saw GWAR in Houston, and they came back with an autographed condom from the band for me."

GWAR began an art project at the Commonwealth University of Virginia. The band is based on a self-created mythology about a group of creatures banished to earth and frozen in Antarctica, Flattus Maximus said.
According to the group's legend, the name GWAR came from the first word GWAR lead singer, Oderous Urungus,

Lawrence Sprint center to close, lay off workers
Kansan staff writer
Bv Mike Gilligan
On June 1, Lawrence will have 509 more people looking for work.
Sprint PCS announced Friday that it would close its Lawrence contact center, 1 Riverfront Plaza, and lay off all workers, effective May 31.
"I was surprised to hear they were closing," said Lydia Sandoval, Stafford senior and Sprint employee. "Sprint seems to be growing so fast that I thought the center would stay open."
Sandoval said she had worked at
the center for three years and found out about the lay offs on Friday. She said she would stay at Sprint until it closed and then find a new job after she graduated in May.
Mike Wildgen, Lawrence city manager, said the closing would hurt Lawrence's downtown.
"We'll lose the traffic downtown and the synergy with more people being downtown," he said.
Employees had no advance warning of the layoff announcement.
Tina Burns, Lawrence resident, said the employees were told Thursday that there would be a mandatory
meeting on Friday.
"They didn't tell us what the meeting was going to be about," Burns said. "When we showed up there was a Fox 4 van and reporters standing around."
Burns said employees were told the center was closing because stock prices were down.
The Lawrence center is one of five centers Sprint announced it would close by June 2002.
According to the Sprint news release, the centers were closing to improve Sprint's competitive position and reduce costs. The increasing
use of self-automated services was another reason for the closings, the news release stated.
3,000 employees will lose their jobs when the five centers close.
The other centers closing are in Atlanta, Tallahassee, Fla., Jacksonville, Fla., and Irvine, Calif.
Sprint would not say how many University of Kansas students are employed at the center.

Greek groups give foster parents a night off

A 3-year-old boy jammed Play-Doh into a press and watched as a Theta Chi fraternity member pressed the lever to squeeze out the substance.
"Eeew!" he exclaimed as he reached for more Play-doh.
The boy was one of nearly 50 children participating in the Foster Parents' Night Out at the Big 12 Room in the Kansas Union Friday night.
Members of Theta Chi fraternity, Chi Omega sorority and the National Panhellenic Council played host to the event. Foster parents dropped the children off for the evening and received movie tickets and coupons for free meals at area restaurants. The groups treated the children to pizza, games and a showing of the movie Monsters, Inc.

helped organize the night. She said it was the first time for such an event and that foster parents deserved a break.
"They don't get the opportunity to go out very often," Smith said.
Andy Knopp, Theta Chi member and event organizer, said funds to pay for the event came from last semester's Five Drive, when all fraternity and sorority members donated $5 to charity.
Knopp, Manhattan sophomore, said that rather than send the money to a national charity, Theta Chi members decided to contribute to a local cause that they could help directly. He said he got the idea from his mother, a social worker in Manhattan.
"It's a really tough job that they do," Knopp said. "They have to sairife a lot and it takes a lot of time and energy and love to take care of someone on a short-term basis the way they do."

Crowded seating snow days create ticket problems
By Meredith Carr Kansan staff writer
The two days of classes canceled last month because of snow and ice caused problems for some students who wanted to get tickets for the last two Kansas men's basketball home games.
Alex Bartlett, Wichita sophomore, went to the ticket office in Allen Fieldhouse on Jan. 50, the first of two days that University offices were closed because of inclement weather. Bartlett tried to redeem his voucher for student tickets, but was informed that tickets would not be available until classes resumed and offices reopened Feb. 1.
Bartlett was also told that students with vouchers could redeem their tickets on Feb. 7. Originally, the final day for guaranteed voucher redemption was Feb. 1., but the Athletics Department decided to extend the deadline to accommodate students who attempted to pick up tickets on the two days that the office was closed.
Because of overcrowding in the student sections at recent basketball games, all ticket sales were suspended from Feb. 2 to 6, and only 600 tickets were made available on Feb. 7.
As instructed, Bartlett brought his voucher to the ticket office at 10:45 a.m. on Feb. 7, but he was too late. All the remaining tickets for the game had been sold.
"I'm a little disappointed because I didn't know where the tickets went," Bartlett said. "I was frustrated and it was a big hassle because I went up there on a snow day and no one was in the office."
It was also the first day for students without vouchers to purchase tickets, so other students, such as Debbie Johnson, a third-year law student from Wichita, were left without tickets as well.
Richard Konzem, associate athletics director, said the two days that the ticket office was closed and the low number of student tickets available created a difficult situation.
"It is very frustrating to know that people who were supposed to take precedence weren't able to get their tickets," she said. "It makes me wonder who the ticket office places priority on."
"We were trying to accommodate everyone in line, but we were really struggling with the tickets," he said.
Konzem said that each year student tickets were oversold because the Athletics Department anticipates that some students won't redeem their vouchers or attend every game.
This practice sometimes leads to problems at high-profile games, such as when Kansas played Missouri on Jan. 28.
"During the KU vs. MU game, there were as many as three people per seat in Allen Fieldhouse. This is a safety issue for everyone in the building," Konzem said.
Bob Rombach, University Fire Marshall coordinator, came to the Fieldhouse during that game and declared the overcrowded student sections a safety hazard.
To eliminate future seating problems, Konzem said University officials were looking into different seating plans.
He said that one idea was to switch to a system similar to the one used at the University of Texas, in which students receive randomly assigned seats. Konzem said seats would be assigned based on students' identification numbers.
But he said the University wasn't sure if it wanted to do that yet.
"While we have a specified number of tickets, we have to reduce the capacity within sections," Konzem said.

Officials sort through corpses
The Associated Press
NOBLE, Ga. — Distraught families began the wrenching task of trying to identify loved ones yesterday in this rural community where dozens of decomposing corpses were being removed from a crematory.
Authorities said they had recovered 97 bodies — including one infant — from storage sheds and scattered in woods behind Tri-State Crematory in this hamlet about 25 miles south of Chattanooga, Tenn.
The final toll is expected to be at least 200, said Dr. Kris Sperry, Georgia's chief medical examiner. Sixteen people have been identified so far. The discoveries began Friday when a woman walking her dog found a skull.
"We're just barely skimming the surface," Sperry said. "Some of the remains are mummified."
Officials requested federal assistance and equipment to help process the remains, a task that has overwhelmed local resources, Sperry said. Investigators believe the crematory had stacked the corpses for up to 15 years.
"They just piled them on top and then piled more on top. And then they just left them," Sperry said. "I wish we had a good explanation for this, but we don't."
Ine crematory's operator, Ray Brent Marsh, 28, was charged with five counts of theft by deception, a felony, for taking payment for cremations he didn't perform. Walker County and state authorities said other charges are likely against Marsh.
A magistrate released Marsh yesterday after he posted a $25,000 bond.
Officials, who have set up a morgue on the site, said they will also search Marsh's entire 16-acre property and a small adjoining lake.
When asked why the bodies had not been cremated, Marsh said the crematory incinerator was not working, Georgia Bureau of Investigation spokesman John Bankhead said Saturday.
Families on Sunday completed Red Cross paperwork to help identify the bodies and several dentists opened their offices to make dental records available.
Sperry said authorities suspect Marsh may have provided ashes from wood chips to clients as the remains of loved ones.
CORRECTION
A correction in Friday's Kansan incorrectly stated that misinformation about an accident in the 1600 block of Tennessee Street early last Wednesday morning came from a KU Public Safety officer. The misinformation came from a Lawrence Police Department officer.
CAMPUS CLAS to interview new dean candidates
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is searching for a new dean.
Four candidates will interview for the position in the largest school on campus. The candidates have scheduled visits to the University of Kansas from today through Monday, March 11.
The first candidate to visit the University is Kip Hodges, a professor of geology and former dean for undergraduate curriculum at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. An open forum with Hodges will take place from 2:30 to 4 p.m. today at Alderdson Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Students, faculty and staff are invited to attend.
Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations, said the search committee would meet after all candidates had been interviewed and make a recommendation to Provost David Shulenburger. The interviews will be done by spring break.
Bretz said the provost would make the final decision on the new dean.

Senator urges leaders to remember heritage
TOPEKA—Sen. Jean Carnahan of Missouri told Kansas Democratic leaders they need to build on the party's heritage in the state.
"We are the party that dreams and dares and delivers," Carnahan said. "Democrats should be proud of our heritage, proud of who we are and proud of what we have accomplished."
Carnahan was the keynote speaker Saturday night at Washington Days, the annual celebration hosted by the Kansas Democratic Party. She spoke to about 400 Democrats.

New election codes spark tension in Senate
By Sarah Hill Kansan staff writer
Ben Burton did not expect to be greeted by a flurry of accusations when he announced the first meeting for candidates in this year's Student Senate elections last week.
Burton, Student Senate executive chairman, and election commissioner David Mitchell were accused by senators of keeping changes to the election code to themselves.
Before his Student Senate Executive Committee report at last week's Senate meeting, Burton announced the date of the candidates' workshop. Senators wondered why they hadn't heard anything about the hearing on election code changes that traditionally precedes the workshop.
"I think people at least would have liked the opportunity to look over the code before the deadline." Bell said.
Branden Bell, holdover senator, said that Student Senate and prospective candidates were not told about this year's changes to the election code, preventing students from making changes to the code. He said that most people heard about the new code at the Feb. 13 Student Senate meeting.
Bell said neither Mitchell nor Burton notified anyone when the changes to the election code were posted.
"One of them should have taken the initiative." he said.
Mitchell said he sent copies of the new code to the dean of student's office and the Student Senate office on Feb. 4. The deadline for complaints about the code was Feb. 8.
Diana Rhodes, Student Senate secretary, said she received the revised codes two or three weeks ago. Rhodes is in charge of collecting official Student Senate information. She put the code in a notebook in the Student Senate office.
Rhodes said she had made a copy for one senator involved in this year's race.
"A review would throw off the schedule set by the election code. There were plenty of opportunities to make changes before election season."
David Mitchell Election commissioner
The guidelines Mitchell followed were from a handbook given to him by last year's election commissioner. The handbook did not specify that he publicize the revisions.
"Everyone should know to be looking for it," he said.
Burton agreed with Mitchell. He said that any student, affiliated with Student Senate or not, could pick up a copy of the changes at the dean of student's office.
Bell also questioned the election commissioner's non-partisan status. Mitchell lives with Drew Thomas, off-campus senator and Delta Force member.
"It definitely doesn't look good." Bell said.
Mitchell said there was no conflict of interest. He said he told the elections commissions during his interview that he had a roommate who was a potential candidate, and that he and Thomas had a professional and ethical relationship.
Thomas said that he thought Mitchell was unbiased and was not concerned about their relationship.

Mitchell said there was no course of action he could take to review the changes.
"A review would throw off the schedule set by the election code," Mitchell said. "There were plenty of opportunities to make changes before election season."

Events also planned for the festival, sponsored by Student Senate and Coca-Cola, include a Filipino Dance Troupe performing a traditional dance known as the "Sinagata."
Wang said groups including the Cultural India Club, Japanese Student Association, Chinese Student and Scholars Friendship Association and Vietnamese Student Association would all come together to share food, fashion and dance during the "Taste of Asia."
Valentino Almeida, graduate student from Bombay, India, and president of the Cultural India Club, said the club had been involved in the festival in previous years, and he was trying to schedule it into this year's events.
"I like this program because we have all the cultural clubs coming together," he said.

Jerry Wang, Atlanta senior and president of the Asian American Student Union, said the festival would dispel myths about a relatively unknown part of the world.

EDITORIAL
Internet program great step toward stopping cheaters
Turnitin.com Web site helps faculty members give credit where it's due
University of Kansas students should be glad that instructors have a new, hightech tool for detecting plagiarism, which will deter cheaters.
Students should no longer feel secure passing off the written works of others as their own. The newest teammate for teachers in tracking cheaters is a computer system called Turnitin.com, www.turnitin.com. For $4,000, the University of Kansas subscribed to this system so faculty could ensure that students would earn their grades.
The system searches the Web site's own databases of papers submitted by university instructors. The databases also include articles from books and academic journals and checks submitted papers against the results of an Internet search engine. As a teacher submits a paper, it is uploaded and scanned for similarities between professional works and others' papers. The submitted paper then remains in the system for future comparisons.
Some students may think that submitting their works to this kind of system may make them the Metallica of writers, giving them the right to sue anyone who uses their works freely for beneficial gain. Unfortunately, individual names will be excluded from these texts, therefore no one will ever know whom or where the compared work is coming from. By enrolling as a student at the University, you are giving faculty the right to handle the work that you hand in.
Students should be relieved that the University is concerned with maintaining a fair academic playing field for students. Too many times, some students get away with a simple cut and paste job, while others are spending days and nights perfecting their projects. Turnitin.com should help eliminate this problem by instilling a new fear in cheaters.
The new system also will add responsibility to each individual. No longer will a simple rephrasing of Internet sources work for a term paper. Those who have perfected procrastination may find that this new copier combat weapon is their worst nightmare.
Some instructors are even sharing with the students, allowing them to double check themselves, with a free subscription to the system. This gives students total assurance that they are safe with what they have written in a term paper or project.
Jessica Smith for the editorial board.
Students should be pleased that we are coming close to guaranteeing originality in student work. Those out there outraged by Turnitin.com should smartly choose to keep their mouth shut.

PERSPECTIVE
Olympics should concentrate on competition, not scandals
Whether summer or winter, the Olympics manage to draw a crowd of enthusiasts, spectators and controversy. As the world's top athletes compete for gold, it's a game of who can cheat whom. While the participating countries claim honor in contesting for the title of "winner," it's a scheme of who has the most money and can complain the loudest. And somebody always loses.
The Olympics are supposed to signify unity within nations and celebrate humanity. Yet each Olympic year, the people behind this grand gesture of an idea prove that even this is an overrated dream. Payoffs, lies, cheaters and drugs almost always haunt at least one event. This winter it's the misjudging and inappropriate actions towards the Canadian figure skating pair. In Sydney in 2000, it was the Bulgarian weightlifting team being disqualified for drug use.
The more disgusting actions aren't by individuals, but by entire countries with a grudge. The Olympics of 1976-1984 were boycotted by the United States and more

The Olympics should be about the world coming together once every four years to compete fairly and to walk away as much a winner as everyone else. I only hope that as the years go on, someone somewhere will remember the original intent of the Olympics, before they die again.
Most would answer yes. We like sports and we like to watch our country win. Both of these are valid reasons and are among the only reasons why the Olympics survive today.
But what if we stop the petty politics and just play sports?

Enron, Lindh dramas provide entertainment
PERSPECTIVE
There are currently two major legal investigations underway that have captured the American public's attention. While no actual trials have vet started, the fun has begun.
On Capitol Hill, various Enron executives have been attending hearings in front of, among others, the Senate Commerce Committee. This is an extremely important phase in the judicial process. It allows all of the senators to take turns calling the Enron execs nasty names on television and making a contest of who can come up with the snappiest zinger (causing the citizens of California's District 23 to regret not reelecting Senator Tom Gallagher). While this may not strike us as terribly fun, we must remember that these senators usually spend their days in meetings of the Senate Commerce Committee.
Last week former Enron CEO (and University of Missouri alumnus) Kenneth Lay refused to testify, instead taking the Fifth Amendment. Although he wanted to tell his side of the story, his lawyers advised against this on the grounds that it would cause him to be sent to prison for roughly
The only Enron official to actually talk was Jeff Skilling, but his testimony was marred by a lack of memory, the likes of which have not been seen since the Reagan administration. An excerpt from the hearing, fictionalized for your enjoyment:
10,677 years.
Senator Boxer: Mr. Skilling, until last August you were acting CEO of Enron, correct?
Senator Lieberman: Mr. Skilling, I would just like to thank you for appearing today. I would also like to thank your company for the $2,000 you contributed to my campaign last year. You, sir, are a pig's ass and a disgrace. How do you plead?
Mr. Skilling: I do not recall.
Mr. Skilling: I do not recall, sir.
Senator Lieberman: That is not a legally binding plea. And please call me Mr. Vice President.
Bradley E. Freedman opinion@kansan.com
COMMENTARY
Despite the setbacks for Enron in the early stages of inquiry, legal sources have mentioned a number of possible strategies available to Kenneth Lay and his storm troopers: Blaming Arthur Andersen.
Blaming each other. Blaming the terrorists
COMMENTARY
Smiling and revealing that Lay has had a pack of Mentos the entire time.
Meanwhile, last week in Alexandria, Va., Johnny Walker Lindh pleaded not guilty to a multitude of charges. While acknowledging his presence in the Middle East, he denied that he had left California to commit treason. Instead, he revealed that his original excursion to Yemen was based on a desire to escape his overbearing girlfriend, Janis.
When confronted with the accusation that this claim was simply lifted from an episode of Friends in which
Chandler tells his girlfriend that he's going to Yemen, Walker sat in obdurate silence.
A trial date has been tentatively set for August, where Judge T.S. Ellis (whose parents seem to have been poetry fans with tragically poor penmanship) is set to be the trial judge.
At a press conference following the arraignment, Johnny's father reminded the public that his son was only 20 years old.
While this may seem like a desperate ploy to me, we must remember that in Virginia, youthful indiscretions can occur until you are 46 years old. Lindh's father also told his son that he loved him and that his room at home was waiting for him "just like you left it."
Hey, who among us hasn't faced accusations of a youthful indiscretion or two, like charges of conspiring to kill Americans, supporting terrorists and using firearms in crimes of violence?
Wait, that's three.

Contest compares book collections
By Mike Gilligan Kansan staff writer
Students could become $850 richer by entering their book collections in the 46th annual Snyder Book Collecting Contest, sponsored by University of Kansas Libraries.
The contest includes separate graduate and undergraduate divisions, with the first-place winner in each category receiving $850 and second-place winner receiving $500. First and second-place winners also receive a gift certificate to Mount Oread Bookshop on the second floor of the Kansas Union for $100 and $50, respectively.
The winner of last year's undergraduate contest, James Abraham, Lenexa senior, submitted a

"I came home with about 10 books and added to the collection." Abraham said.
collection of books on Indian literature.
Sarah Goodwin Thiel, digital project librarian at the Kenneth Spencer Research Library, said the collections usually had a theme.
"One student entered a collection of books she had from the military." Thiel said. "She traded books with people from around the world and submitted that collection."
Angela Rathmel, library assistant at Watson Library and member of the Snyder Book Collecting Committee, said the committee wasn't looking for specific books.
"It's more about the method of collecting and how your collection has been developed," she said.
Rathmel said there were different divisions for undergraduate and graduate students because their levels of collecting were different.
"Graduate students might have more experience in collecting," she said. "A lot of times their books are related to the thesis they are working on."
Rathmel said five judges determined the winners. She said the committee tried to get a variety of committee to judge the collections.
"This year the judges are a professor from KU, a Lawrence book dealer, two people working at libraries, and last year's winner James Abraham," Rathmel said.
Students who want to enter the contest should submit a bibliography and a two-to-eight page essay explaining the purpose of their collection and the method they used to build it. Rathmel said collections should be between 25 and 50 books and did not have to be expensive.
Students should submit their collections to the Reader Services Department at the Kenneth Spencer Research Library by March 29. Winners will be announced April 16.

Student plays in Limp Bizkit search
By Jessica Tims Kansan staff writer
Jordan Tucker, Kingman senior, practices guitar in full performance attire. Tucker recently tried out for the band Limp Bizkit, as part of a national search. He plays in a Kansas City country band.
Jordan Tucker wants to form his own band,with his own music.
JILLIAN THORPE/KANSAN
But when rock group Limp Bizkiz announced its "Put Your Guitar Where Your Mouth is Tour," a nationwide search for a new guitarist, the Kingman senior decided to try out to fill the void left by former band member Wes Borland.
"My dad saw that they were looking for a guitar player in the Wichita paper," he said. "Then it was on MTV, in a guitar magazine and on the Internet."
Although he is not a fan of the group, Tucker said he admired the marketing strategy of front man Fred Durst. Tucker said he made the decision to go to the open tryout "just for the hell of it."
Tucker auditioned January 20 in Oklahoma City at a guitar store. He arrived at the venue early, as advised by the tour promotion, but sign-up started late. He said it was the first of many disappointments that day.
"I got there really early in the morning and stood outside in the freezing cold to wait to sign up at seven," he said. "Fred and the guys were supposed to get there at 9:30 and we were going to start at 10, but the band didn't even show up until 11:30."
He said he and others waiting to audition were worried that standing in the cold for five hours would make it difficult to play.
"Your hands were so frozen you could barely get your hand to work to write to fill out the paperwork," Tucker said. "The guy behind me was saying 'Dude, if I can't write, how am I going to play?'
wnen the auditions started, Tucker said he and the other prospective band members learned that the band would not sit in on the tryouts, as advertised in the tour promotion. He said the band sat in its bus while he and others performed in front of a
band representative. The representatives scout talent for the music industry by working with managers and record companies to sign new artists.
Before playing a one-minute original piece of music, Tucker said he had to sign a waiver saying that his performance could be videotaped, that any musical riffs could be used by Limp Bizkit and that the person who wrote it would receive no royalties.
"I think the whole thing was a publicity stunt," Tucker said. "It was like they were on tour to find new music."
Tucker is not the only guitarist to think this way. Other people who have auditioned around the country have made the same allegations, prompting Durst to post a statement on the band's Web site denying that his band took any of the music.
"Everything we, Limp Bizkit, do is motivated and driven by our love for our fans and love for what
we do," Durst's statement said. "People who are auditioning are asked to sign a release so their images and likenesses can be used in any documentary that Limp Bizkit would like to make. In no way, whatsoever would Limp Bizkit steal or ever take anything (music, riffs) from anyone on this planet!!"
Even though the tryout was not what Tucker expected, he said some good came out of the trip.
"He game me his card and told me when I get a band together to send him a demo." Tucker said.
Tucker's mother, Donna, a jazz singer under contract in western Tokyo, said that in the music business, getting attention from someone who represented a band like Limp Bizkit was not easy.
Hesaid the band's representative asked Tucker if he was in a band.
"He told him to send stuff and keep sending it," she said. "They don't do that for a lot of people."
Although Donna Tucker is in the music industry, she said it was not something she would like her son to do.
"It's maybe that I want it to be easier on him," she said. "Art is not an easy profession."
Donna Tucker said there was nothing she could do to stop her son from becoming a professional musician.
"I asked him, 'Jordan, you are getting a degree in classical literature from the University of Kansas, what are you going to be when you grow up?' He said 'Mom, I'm going to be a rock star,' she said.
"He is outstanding. I don't want him in this business. I would like like to say he is going to stay out of it, but he is just outstanding."

Oscar nominees diverse again
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES - It had never happened before, three African-American performers nominated in the lead-acting categories for the Academy Awards. Surely, it was a sign that Hollywood's top honors finally were catching up with the nation's cultural diversity.
That was for 1972, though. It took 29 years for it to happen again — with Halle Berry in Monster's Ball, Will Smith in Ali and Denzel Washington in Training Day setting nominations for 2001.
Rarely a standard-bearer for racial inclusion, the Oscars offer possibly their highest profile ever for African-American performers next month.
Besides the three acting nominations, Whoopi Goldberg, one of only two African-American women to win an acting Oscar, returns as host. Sidney Poitier, the only African American to earn a lead-acting Oscar, receives an honorary award for lifetime achievement.
African-American advocates like the lineup for the Oscars on March 24 but hesitate to say it marks a turning point for an awards ceremony traditionally dominated by white performers.
Some say it could be an anomaly, a rare year such as
1972 that produced three Oscar-worthy performances by African Americans.
"It's progress, but no net gain. In a sense, we're where we were in 1972. It's taken us 50 years to get to that point again," said Kweisi Mfume, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "It's too early to say this represents a trend. I'd be curious to see what happens next year or the year after."
"Let's see some kind of track record before I start jumping up and down," said Frank Smith Jr., acting board president of the Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame.
Of 278 acting Oscars awarded since 1929, only six — 2.2 percent — were won by African Americans, among them Hattie McDaniel (supporting actress for Gone With the Wind); Goldberg (supporting actress for Ghost); Washington (a five-time Oscar nominee who won supporting actor for Glory); Poitier (best actor for Lilies of the Field); Cuba Gooding Jr. (best supporting actor for Jerry Maguire) and Louis Gossett Jr. (best supporting actor for An Officer and a Gentleman).
In three of the last four years, no African Americans were nominated in the four acting categories.

COMMENTARY
Chris Wristen sports@kansan.com
'Hawk fans ought to copy'Cats devotees
Former Notre Dame football coach Dan Devine once said, "Nobody, I mean nobody, comes into our house and pushes us around."
If Kansas fans honestly cared enough, then they could make that statement apply here, too.
Sadly, most Kansas fans suck. Cry and whine about this all you want, but if you're honest with yourself you'll realize it's true.
Kansas "fans" have proved their worth throughout recent history, be it their lax numbers at football games during the last decade, poor turnout this year for an almost-Top 25 soccer team or even during the 1990s when women's basketball coach Marian Washington's teams were a mainstay in the top 20.
They can't even get it right for men's basketball. All fans still don't wear blue shirts to every game. It took fewer than two games to bail on the idea of looking like a proud, united crowd. It's pathetic, but then again, I guess we've become accustomed to that at Kansas, which is why Kansas State fans have earned the title of "Best Fans in Kansas."
Look no further than yesterday's women's basketball rivalry game against No.12 Kansas State for more evidence.
The second-largest crowd to ever watch a women's game in Allen Fieldhouse, 11,858 fans, packed Allen Fieldhouse yesterday and saw K-State roll to a 65-40 win against a struggling Jayhawk team. The fan number looks nice, but consider that more than 10,000 of them were purple-clad Wildcat faithful and suddenly the attendance doesn't look quite so flashy for Kansas.
Wildcats' coach Deb Patterson said, "It was a lot like a home crowd; it was absolutely fabulous. I've never seen anything like it. To be on the road and to walk into the arena and feel like the arena was packed with our fans was just beyond description."
That's where Patterson is wrong. There are two easy descriptions for the atmosphere — impressive and embarrassing. Impressive for Wildcat fans who should be proud because they have a team of great basketball players who are humble in their success but thrive in their fans' support.
It was also embarrassing for Kansas fans, shown up by of the lack of crimson and blue on Sunday inside Allen Fieldhouse.
Some would argue that Kansas was going to lose anyway because the Jayhawks just aren't very good this year. That may be true, but it's safe to say the embarrassment against K-State was in the stands, not on the court.
Wildcat fans held posters, banged balloons together like Kansas "fans" did at the men's game against Missouri and one even played the Kansas State fight song on a trumpet. They've done it at almost every women's game this year, be it a home game or a road game.
Kansas fans wilt in that image

'Hawks win, but play 'ugly' against Bears
By Doug Pacey Kansan sportswriter
Kansas won't break the 100-point barrier every game. Heck, the Jayhawks aren't going to beat teams by 20 points each time they step on the court.
But the Jayhawks have been doing a lot of both lately. They've scored more than 100 points in four of their last six games and routed four of their last six opponents by more than 27 points.
So Saturday's lackcluster effort against Baylor should be expected. As much as Roy Williams hates it, he said he knew his team wouldn't be at its best all the time.
"This team has been pretty doggone good about playing every single day," Williams said. "Human nature is you're not going to do that. Tiger Woods doesn't win every single tournament, doesn't shoot 68 every single day. Some days you've got to get by with playing ugly. You just have to be able to sort of meander around there and be good enough to win even when you're ugly."
For most of Saturday's 87-72 win against the Bears, Kansas was downright hideous.

'Big Monday' huge for Kansas
By Doug Pacey
Kansan sportswriter
If there wasn't enough pressure on Kansas to win tonight's game against Iowa State, another monkey just hopped on the Jayhawks' back.
Because of No. 3 Maryland's 87-73 victory against No. 1 Duke yesterday, the ESPN/USA Today Coaches poll made the Jayhawks -ranked second in the Associated Press poll -the No. 1 team in the country. The AP poll won't be released until this afternoon, but there's a good chance Kansas might be the top-ranked team in both polls before tip-off.
Then there's the fact that the Cyclones have won their last two games at Allen Fieldhouse and Kansas (23-2 overall, 12-0 Big 12 Conference) surely wants a little revenge.
Add all that together and you've got a SportsCenter highlight in the making, and it just so happens that tonight's game will be broadcast nationally as part of ESPN's Big Monday, the fourth straight Monday Kansas has been on
A victory tonight will also clinch at least a tie for the Big 12 championship a spot the Jayhawks haven't won in three years.

The Jayhawks say they're aware of all the sub-plots going into tonight's game, but they can't think about them if they want to win.
That's not a bad idea considering how well Iowa State plays the Jayhawks. The Cyclones might be last in the Big 12 Conference with a 3-9 league record, 11-15 overall, but they've got the Big 12's third-leading scorer in senior Tyray Pearson, 19.1 points per game, and one of the Big 12's most dangerous three-point shooters in sophomore Jake Sullivan. The sophomore guard has connected on 53 of 106 three-pointers and averages 16.9
"We're really trying to just focus on playing Monday's game," Williams said. "Anything else that happens, extra stuff on the sidelines and extra stuff away from the actual playing of the game, we need to get that out of our minds."
Wildcats dominate Jayhawks in second season blowout
By Jessica Scott
Kansan sportswriter
Allen Fieldhouse got a makeover Sunday afternoon when the Kansas State women strolled into town.
As the Jayhawks ran out on the court, their proud haven had evolved into 'Bramlage East,' as one Wildcat fan put it.
With more than 11,000 fans in tow, K-State played like a team on its home court as it stomped in-state rival Kansas 65-40. This game marked the first time in 11 years that the Wildcats had won in Lawrence.
"it's beyond description," Kansas
State guard Laurie Koehn said. "It seriously did feel like we were at home."
Kansas coach Marian Washington sounded bittersweet about the second-highest turnout for a women's game in Jayhawk history.
"I'm happy for them that they've got that kind of support; I think it's tremendous," Washington said. "It's very tough to see so much purple in your home arena."
A sloppy first-half proved costly to Kansas (5-21,0-14 Big 12 Conference) as it shot just 21 percent from the floor and struggled to stop K-State star

Baseball team sweeps Shreveport series, still undefeated
Behind an 11-hit offensive attack and another strong start by senior pitcher Dan Olson, the Kansas baseball team defeated Centenary yesterday 4-2 in Shreveport, La. With the victory, the Jayhawks (4-0) swept the three-game series from the Gents (4-6).
Kansas jumped on board first, scoring two in the third inning on a RBI by junior shortstop Casey Spanish and sophomore baseman Ryan Baty. It would be all Olson needed. Olson allowed just one run in six innings of work. Improving his record to 2-0.
Freshman Tom Gorzelanny pitched
the final three innings, allowing one run and striking out three to grab his first save of the season.
Pitching also proved key on Friday night. Behind senior Jeff Davis' complete-game masterpiece, the Jayhawks were able to shut down Centenary and pump out a 2-1 victory. Davis struck out nine and gave up just one earned run on seven hits. It was Davis' first complete game in his career.
Centenary jumped to an early 1-0 lead, but Kansas tied it in the sixth inning when junior outfielder Lance Hayes scored from third on a wild pitch
by Gent pitcher Nick Waak.
Spanish brought in the winning run in the top of the eighth when his single brought in Hayes.
"It was a cold night for baseball and we were facing a very,very good pitcher, but I am very pleased with our team," Randall said. "At times,we can play a pretty exciting brand of baseball."
While Friday's game was won by turning out runs, Saturday's was the opposite. Kansas, fueled by a 10-run fifth inning, pounded Centenary 17-3. Senior third baseman Ryan Klocksein paced the 'Hawks, going 4-5 with two
doubles, a triple, and five RBIs. Baty continued his hot hitting, going 3-for-5 with a home run and four RBIs.
Senior Jake Wright pitched six innings, allowing no earned runs and striking out four for his first victory. Freshman Tyson Bothof and junior Ryan Jakubov combined to pitch three innings of scoreless relief.
The Jayhawks play 11 of their next 12 at home,starting on Tuesday,when they play Kansas Newman at 3 p.m. at Hoglund Ballpark.

Duke falls to Maryland boosts Kansas to No.1
鱼
COLLEGE PARK, Md. — No last-minute collapse. Not even a home loss.
The Associated Press
"Every game you play here is special because it's the last year here," Maryland coach Gary Williams said. "You want to win each game. The situation makes it special. You don't put special emphasis on it with your players because what if you lose? You just get ready to play."
Maryland finally beat Duke at Cole Field House and the venerable building claimed one more No.1 victim.
With the win, Maryland ascended to No. 2 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches' poll, while Duke fell to No. 3 and Kansas moved to No. 1 with 21 first-place votes.
The third-ranked Terrapins, who had lost four years in a row on their own floor to the Blue Devils, beat them 87-73 yesterday, the seventh time a top-ranked team lost in the building that is closing after this season.
Williams didn't do a good job of selling that attitude to his players.
"This whole week the coach has been upright on us about Duke. Duke this, Duke that," said sophomore Chris Wilcox, who had a career-high 23 points. "I just feel better for my coach because Coach wanted this win more than we did."
Cole and Notre Dame's Joyce Athletic Center had been tied with six No. 1 losses, but the Terrapins (21-3, 11-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) made sure there was no heartache like last season with the convincing win.
Last year, the Terrapins lost 98-96 to Duke at home in overtime when they squandered a 10-point lead with a minute left in regulation. The Blue Devils won three of four against Maryland last season, including in the NCAA semifinals, rallying from a 22-point deficit on the way to the national championship.
"We're only moving about a half-mile and we're
suit on campus," Williams said of the $20 million Comcast Center which will replace the 46-year-old Cole Field House. "Any time you can beat a No. 1 team like Duke it's a great win. Duke is Duke. They've earned it. They've been the best team in college basketball. That makes it special."
Maryland made it almost impossible to blow a lead this time, going up by 25 points three times, the last at 68-43 with 9:55 to play, on the way to improving to 12-0 at home this season.
Duke (23-2, 11-2) did get within 11 twice, the last time at 81-70 with 2:09 left.
But Juan Dixon hit a short jumper with 1:47 left and Lonny Baxter added two free throws 14 seconds later to make it 85-70 and the party started in Cole.
Dixon had 17 points for Maryland, which continued its best conference start with its eighth straight win, and Byron Mouton had 15.
"This is the first time we've beaten Duke here since I've been here and it's a tremendous feeling," said Dixon, one of Maryland's three senior starters.
Carlos Boozer had 19 points and 12 rebounds for the Blue Devils, who had won 11 straight since their only loss to Florida State. Mike Dunleavy added 15 points and 11 rebounds and Jason Williams had 17 points.
"The team that should have won did win, and they won in convincing fashion," Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "We made a good run in the end but the game was never in doubt. It was a winnable game in the last eight minutes but it was too big of a hump to get over."
In the four games these teams played last season, the eventual loser led by at least 10 points in each game.
A win would have given Duke the best start in school history, but now this team stays tied with the 1998-99 team at 23-1. The Blue Devils finish with a 26-21 record at Cole.
Men's golf team begins season takes eighth in first tournament
The Kansas men's golf team opened its spring season in solid fashion with an eighth-place finish this weekend at the Taylor Made/Big Island Invitational in Walkoloa. Hawaii.
"This was a nice start to the spring season," coach Ross Randall said. "Especially with the strong field of opponents at the Taylor Made Invitational."
In the 24-team field, Kansas was as high as fourth place after the second round, but high winds resulted in high scores in Friday's final round.
The Iavhawks had been
within striking distance of a possible second place finish behind perennial power Georgia Tech. But the 'Hawks could not fight against nature in Friday's final round.
"The wind really blew today making the scores go up" Randall said. "We would have liked to be closer to the top, but we battled and finished within four shots of third place."
Kansas' top individual finish in the tournament came from senior Travis Hurst, whose three-round total of 217 tied him for ninth place.
Junior Chris Marshall shot a final round 75 to finish in a tie for 17th place, and sophomore Tyler Hall shot a 76 on Friday to finish in a tie for 26th place.
Senior Casey Harbour shot a final round 81 to tie for 59th place, and freshman Kevin Ward's final round of 80 put him in 112th place.
The team will travel to Lafayette, La., next month to compete in the Louisiana Classics Intercollegiate, which begins March 11th.

Women's golf swings into spring
The Kansas women's team opens its spring season today. The squad will play in the Islander Spring Invitational, a 54-hole tournament held during two days in Corpus Christi, Texas.
Third-year coach Nicole Hollingsworth said she hoped that the team gelled quickly for the spring after a fall season trimmed by a tournament cancellation.
a Big 12 championship and peak at the right time." Hollingsworth said. "Because the terrorist attacks cut short our fall season, we didn't get to see how good we really are."
The Jayhawks will look for an improvement this spring after a fall campaign which saw the team place no higher than 14th in its four tournaments.
"Our main goals are to finish in the top five in our tournament appearances, compete for
Despite tough outings during the fall season, the Jayhawks want to build on some solid individual performances heading into the spring. The Jayhawks posted three top-20 finishes, including a first place finish at the Sunflower Cup by sophomore Jennifer Bawanan.
With no seniors in the lineup, the team will rely heavily on juniors Jennifer Cassell, Tiffany Kruggel, Jill MacDonald, Heather Rose, and Kristy Straub.
Sopnomores Bawanan and Tegan Thornberry along with freshmen Megan Elgethun, Lauren Phlegar, Lauren Widell and Meredith Winkelmann round out the lineup.

Phoenix Suns' coach fired assistant coach fills position
PHOENIX, Ariz. — Scott Skiles was forced out yesterday as coach of the Phoenix Suns and replaced by assistant Frank Johnson as the team tried to salvage a disappointing season.
The Suns, who have made the playoffs every year since the 1987-88 season, currently are out of postseason contention with a 25-26 record. They fell under the .500 mark by losing their past two games.
Skiles, the NBA's second-youngest coach at 37, became the team's coach 20 games into the 1999-2000 season, replacing Danny Ainge.
He finished the season with a 40-22 record and led the Suns to a 51-31 mark last season.
Suns owner Jerry Colangelo said Skiles was not fired and that he agreed to leave. The move came shortly before the Suns played the Dallas Mavericks, the Midwest Division leader.
AUTO RACING Burton wins Daytona 500, notches fourth career win
Following a late red flag, Burton won a three-lap dash to the finish line for his fourth career win in 251 starts.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Sterling Marlin handed Ward Burton the biggest gift of his life — a victory in Sunday's Davtona 500.
Marlin, who received hate mail and death threats from people who blamed him for the crash that killed Dale Earnhardt at last year's Daytona 500, appeared to have his third victory in "The Great American Race" in hand.
Marlin had spun out Jeff Gordon as a pack of cars crashed behind them, then beat Burton back to the yellow flag by less than half a car-length.
Then, NASCAR stopped the sometimes bizarre race to give the remaining leaders a chance to race for the win. After the cars halted on the backstretch, Marlin got out of his car to check for damage on the right front fender.
He started to pull the bent sheet metal away from the tire before an official warned him to get back in his Dodge. That little effort to repair the damage was enough for NASCAR to penalize him, sending his car back to the rear of the lead pack after the cars restarted.
"I tried to get it pulled off, but NASCAR didn't like it, and they sent me to the rear." Marlin said.
Burton called the last three laps "nerve-racking."
"I didn't even look at the flag," he said. "I wasn't going to stop. When the other guys backed off, I backed off."

Cats rule 'Showdown'
By Ryan Wood
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
SPORTS
For five Kansas State players and one Kansas player, yesterday's intrastate-rivalry matchup had a little extra meaning.
Six Kansas natives grace the rosters of K-State and Kansas, who met yesterday in the annual "Sunflower Showdown." The No. 12 Wildcats defeated the Jayhawks 65-40 in front of 11,858 fans at Allen Fieldhouse.
Wildcat forward Kendra Wecker, a Marysville native, scored 18 points and seven rebounds while Clay Center product Nicole Ohlde tallied 19 points and 11 rebounds to help pace the Wildcats to an easy victory.
"It was awesome," Wecker said. "Growing up, you were either a Jayhawk or a Wildcat. It's just awesome to play in one of those games now that we're older, and we can experience that as an athlete."
The Wildcats left Allen Fieldhouse with their first victory in more than 10 years. It was also the first time K-State has swept the season series since 1991.
"We had a mark on our back because this was a home game for KU and because of the rivalry," Wildcat coach Deb Patterson said.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 7B
On the other end, forward Blair Waltz, an Overland Park product, has proven to be Kansas' most productive freshman. She averages 5.7 points and 3.4 rebounds per contest, despite being hampered with a foot injury midway through the season.
"It means a lot, because I've known Kendra for a long time," said Waltz, who scored eight points yesterday.
K-State (22-5 overall, 10-4 Big 12 Conference play) has rode on the shoulders of three Kansas natives all season long. Wecker, Ohlde and guard Laurie Koehn all average more than 16 points a game for the Wildcats.
With the win, Kansas State snaps a two game losing streak, and improves its conference record to 10-4. The Jayhawks lost their 14th straight and drop to 5-22 overall.
"They were hungry to get back on the winning side of things," coach Marian Washington said. "I don't blame them."

Kansas had the opportunity to capture another win against a ranked team on Friday against No. 18 Oregon State. The Jayhawks trailed Oregon State 4-1 going into the seventh inning. Kansas started its rally after senior catcher and outfielder Leah Tabb hit a solo home run to cut the lead to two.
Freshman Serena Settlemier came off the bench for a pinch-hit single that brought in senior third baseman Megan Urquhart. Oregon State retired three straight batters to end the inning and the game, 4-3.
The Jayhawks got their first win Saturday morning against Cal-Poly. Kansas scored the only run of the game in the fourth inning when Urquhart's single drove in senior outfielder Christi Musser. One run was all the Jayhawks would need as Settlemier allowed only four hits
In the second game on Friday, the host UNLV Rebels jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the first inning. Settlement hit a three-run homer in the fourth inning to cut the score to 5-3. The Rebels scored two more runs in the fifth inning, and Kansas lost its second game of the day 7-3.
Softball 1-1 on road after Las Vegas loss
A trip to Las Vegas for the UNLV Classic didn't turn out the way it was supposed to for the Kansas softball team. The Jahawhks entered the tournament with a 3-2 record, including two wins against ranked opponents, but only managed one victory on the weekend, falling to 4-6 on the season.
and struck out four from the mound. It was Settlemier's second shutout of the season.
The Jayhawks again found themselves behind early as Oregon ran out to an 8-0 lead in the second game on Saturday. Kansas mounted a comeback as senior outfielder Shelly Musser hit a double, driving in senior second baseman Amy Hulse in the third inning. Sophomore outfielder Mel Wallach scored Urquhart in the fourth and Settlemier added a solo homer of her own in the fifth, cutting the score to 8-3.
The Jayhawks got another look at No. 5 California yesterday after losing to it a week earlier in the Fiesta Bowl Classic, 6-2. Kansas jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning off five straight Jayhawk hits. California came back in the second inning, loading the bases and gaining a 5-3 lead. Kansas added another run in the fourth inning, but California added three more runs of its own in the fourth, extending the lead to 8-4, the eventual final.
Oregon scored another run in the sixth.increasing the lead to six.
Kansas added four more runs in the seventh as Settlemier had an RBI single and Wallach added a sacrifice fly. Sophomore infielder Sandy Smith got a pinch hit triple to cut the lead to 9-7. Oregon retired the next batter, ending the game.

Kendra Wecker, who seemed to score at will. The Jayhawks also lagged on the inside and the 'Cats' Nicole Ohlide scored nine of her game-high 19 points in the first-half.
"We were not ever in the ball game as far as I'm concerned." Washington said. "Their inside game really hurt us. We just could not contain them."
Kansas senior center Nikki White said the Jayhawks didn't match up defensively with the Wildcats.
"They play well together as a team and they were looking for each other a lot," White said. "A lot of times we just got caught out of position."
None of Kansas' players scored more than eight points,
and its starters had all but 12 of the Jayhawks' points. Senior guards Selena Scott and KC Hilgenkamp, who was fighting through flu-like symptoms, combined for only six points on two for 19 shooting.
"I personally enjoyed it. I think that's a great atmosphere to be in," she said. "I don't care who's in there if it's packed—that was my dream."
White and freshman guard Blair Waltz tied for top scoring honors with eight apiece. Although her team lost its 13th game in a row, Waltz said she still enjoyed yesterday's matchup.

Senior Cheryl Malliaiah and freshman Aurelie Bejar beat the Terrapins' Pamela Floro and Chloe Chavardes at the No. 3 doubles position.
Against the Terrapins, Kansas started strong, winning two of the three doubles matches and earning the first point. The No. 2 doubles team of freshman Paige Brown and sophomore Emily Haylock kept its undefeated record and narrowly beat the Terrapins' Emily DeCamilla and Marta Jedrzejak.

Feud with flu can't keep Gooden down
By Brent Wasko
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas forward Drew Gooden finally found an opponent that could slow him down offensively this season — the flu.
Gooden made just three of his 10 shots from the field in the Jayhawks' 87-72 victory against Baylor in Allen Fieldhouse. His 30 percent shooting performance was his lowest percentage in a game since his freshman year versus Duke in the NCAA Tournament when he shot 27.3 percent.
Gooden suffered from the flu almost all last week, and Kansas coach Roy Williams said he thought the illness affected Gooden's play against Baylor.
"There's no doubt in my mind that he wasn't on the top of his game because of health reasons," Williams said. "He didn't have the touch on his jump hook. You didn't seem him running down the floor in front of everybody like he always does. He got the ball inside a couple of times and got it stripped, which he hasn't done. Hopefully, a good night's rest tonight and little work tomorrow and he'll be ready on Monday."
Gooden tied a season low, scoring 11 points against the Bears. His 15 points against Kansas State on Feb. 4 was his lowest total in Big 12 Conference play until Saturday afternoon.
He said that the flu had almost run its course by game time, but he was still feeling the aftereffects of being sick.
"I think I was about 75 percent today," Gooden said. "I was a little winded in the first half."
"I know everybody anticipated I was going to come out having a Michael Jordan game or something like that."
Gooden said being sick wasn't as much of a factor for him as
that.

Kansas Forward
some might have thought.
"I know everybody anticipated I was going to come out having a Michael Jordan game or something like that," he said, referring to Jordan's 38-point performance when he had the flu against the Utah Jazz in the 1997 NBA Finals. "My shot just wasn't falling for me, but I don't want to use the excuse that I was sick."
Gooden began feeling ill early last week. By Thursday, he said he was in bad condition and couldn't practice with the team.
"I was going to try to practice, but there was no way in the world I would have been able to do it," he said. "If I had practiced, I would have passed out. I couldn't even walk. It was horrible. You've all had the flu. You know how it is."
He still scored in double figures, which he has done in all 25 games this season, and he grabbed a team-high 14 rebounds.
Despite the sickness, Gooden's numbers weren't that bad against Baylor.
Gooden said rebounding was his main focus heading into the game.
CHRISTINA NFFF/XANSAN
"I know that I can be sick as a dog and still get rebounds," he said. "Scoring was a question mark as far as me running up
and down the court and getting shots up. I said, 'Forget scoring, I'm going to grab as many rebounds as I possibly can.'"
Gooden has been a little out-of-sync offensively in the last two games. He scored six points in the first half against Texas last Monday and had four points before the intermission against Baylor. This from a guy who leads Kansas in scoring, averaging 20.9 points per game.
"I'm not going to pressure myself," he said. "I know what I'm capable of doing. I'm not going to rush anything because I had a horrible shooting game today."
Gooden said his recent scoring drought hadn't broken his confidence and that it wouldn't affect his performance in future games.
Kansas junior forward Nick Collison said Baylor was effective in not only frustrating Gooden offensively but also stifling the entire Jayhawks' offensive attack inside the paint.
"They did a good job of mixing up defense with their zone where the pressure was on the wings," Collison said. "The guards had to pay more attention to the pressure than they normally do. They couldn't just look past the defense and look for us down low."
Gooden won't have long to rest before coming back on the court to face Iowa State at home tonight. He said he would be ready to go.
"Thursday was the worst day, Friday it was little bit better and today was a little bit better than yesterday," Gooden said. "By Monday, I should have full recovery."

"We were a little more dead than we've been," said Nick Collison, who finished with a game-high 22 points. "We can't let a lack of energy, a lack of concentration, do that to us. We've got be ready to play every single night, because that's what the best teams do. They bring it every single night."
Baylor brought its A-game Saturday. The Bears never trailed by more than four points in the first half and even forced 12 lead changes before halftime.
If it weren't for Jeff Boschee, Kansas might even have trailed at intermission. The senior guard scored 15 of his 21 points
in the first half and one of his four first-half three-pointers was a buzzer-beater that gave the Javhawks a 40-36 lead.
Boschie wasn't the only one spotting up outside. The Bears' defense confused Kansas and junior forwards Collison and Gooden found themselves taking long-range jumpers. Baylor outscored Kansas 22-12 inside and out-rebounded the Jayhawks 21-15 in the first half.
"Baylor's a smart team," Collison said. "They take advantage of your screw-ups and we made a lot of them. We weren't sharing the ball like we had been or executing our game plan."
It was different in the second half. Kansas scored 22 points inside to Baylor's 14 and outrebounded the Bears 28-14. Kirk Hinrich and Boschee held
Baylor guard Wendell Greenleaf, who entered the game averaging 14 points, was held to a one-for-10 shooting performance and just two points.
"It was like going 15 rounds with Muhammad Ali," Bears coach Dave Bliss said. "We're a little beaten and bloodied."
After the game, Drew Gooden said he wasn't concerned with finding a reason for Kansas' early lethargy or perceived lack of effort. There was just one thing that mattered to the Wooden and Naismith awards finalist.
"We're 12-0 in conference," he said. "That looks good. That looks better than the game against Baylor."

points per game.
In Kansas' 88-81 win in Ames, Iowa, earlier this season, Sullivan hit five of seven three-pointers—one from 10 feet behind the arc, while falling backward with Kirk Hinrich waving a hand in his face late in the game—and scored a game-high 27 points.
"He made a couple from way out there up at their place," Williams said. "I hope he doesn't do that this time."
If Sullivan can't find his shot and Kansas wins, the Jayhawks are assured of at least a share of the Big 12 championship. Williams said he hasn't decided if he'll
allow the team to cut the nets for the first time since 1998 after tonight's game or wait. Kansas can clinch the championship outright on Sunday if it wins Nebraska, but the Jayhawks might wait until their next home game, which is also Senior Night, against Kansas State on Feb. 27.
But before the Jayhawks go shopping for a ladder and a pair of scissors, they've got to win tonight's game.
"It's been a goal for a long time and we haven't won one since I've been here," said Nick Collison. "If we could get at least a piece of it Monday, that would be huge for us."

Track team victorious at K-State
Kansas prepares for upcoming Big 12 Championship
By Matt Norton Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas track team compiled four first-place finishes at the two-day Kansas State Open on Thursday and Friday in Manhattan and used the meet as one last competition before next weekend's Big 12 Conference championships in Lincoln, Neb.
Sophomore Laura Lavoie won the 600 yards and senior Katy Eisenmenger won the 1000 meters, while freshman Jeremy Mims won the 800 and senior Scott Russell won the weight throw for the men.
Junior Jamie Waters claimed the third-best throw in KU history in the 20-pound weight with a toss of 52-23/4, finishing third.
Coach Stan Redwine said the meet served its purpose as a tuneup for the team.
"We thought Jamie needed another competition under her belt to fine tune some things, and she threw the third best throw in school history," he said. "Our high jumpers got some things worked out and everyone really ran well."
Eisenmenger's time of 2:52.66 topped the Big 12 list for women heading into the championship meet at the University of Nebraska. She also leads the Big 12 in the mile, and Lavoie is ranked third in the 600 and 800 and seventh in the mile. They both ran on the distance medley relay team, along with sophomores Stacy Keller and Arrah Nielsen. The team is ranked No. 1 in the Big 12 with a time of 11:32.90.
Senior Brian Blachly moved into fourth on the conference 1000 meter list, finishing second at K-State with a time of 2:27.96.
Russell said he was tired going into the meet, so much so that he enjoyed a nap in the stands after his event finished.
Still, he had enough energy to exceed the NCAA automatic qualifying mark and beat fellow All-American Christian Cantwell of Missouri by more than five feet.
Such performances are now common for Russell, and throws coach Doug Reynolds said the best was yet to come.
"We're not trying to do anything big." Reynolds said of Russell's performance Friday. "We're just working on some things so he'll be ready for Big 12s."

A 59-year-old woman died and six apartments were severely damaged in a fire at Coachlight Apartments, 1002 W. 24th St., early yesterday morning.
w. 24th St.,early yesterday morning Lawrence Fire Department Deputy Chief Mark Bradford said the cause of the fire was careless smoking. He said no positive identification of the woman or determination of the exact cause of death had been made.

Chris Stoddard, Lawrence senior, said he could smell smoke as he was leaving his friend's apartment. Approximately three minutes later, while standing outside, he observed an explosion in the third-floor apartment.

Roy Williams raises his arm in celebration of Kansas' first Big 12 Conference championship since 1998. The No. 1 Jayhawks clinched at least a share of the Big 12 title with last night's 102-66 win against Iowa State at Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas improved its record to 24-2 overall and 13-0 in Big 12 play.
play. Each Kansas player, coach and trainer climbed the ladder and cut a piece of the net off the hoop, but after everyone had gone the net still hung from the rim by two strands.
"We talked about it a great deal and we didn't want to show any disrespect to Nebraska, Kansas State or Missouri, three teams we have left to play." Williams said.
The Jayhawks can win the Big 12 championship outright if they win one of their three remaining regular season games. SEE STORY PAGE 1B.
Kansans want state funding for education
By Adam Pracht Kansan staff writer
Karen Schirer is concerned about the public education her son Kasper Schirer, Wichita freshman, is receiving at the University of Kansas.
"Right now, I feel that public education is amazingly underfunded," she said. "I think it's incredible that we are able to do what we do in public education with the funds that we have available."
have avail-
A statewide phone survey con-
ducted by the Policy Research Insti-
tute at the University of Kansas sug-
gested Schirer's sentiment was a common one in Kansas.
Beginning in November 2001 and continuing through Feb. 8, 2002,the institue asked approximately 1,600 randomly selected Kansans up to 90 questions on a variety of public policy issues, including education.
The researchers asked respondents if state spending on grades kindergarten through 12 and for state colleges and universities should be increased, kept at the present level or decreased.
The results showed that 60 percent were in favor of increasing
spending for kindergarten through 12th grade, while 35 percent favored maintaining current levels.
The results for state colleges and universities were less favorable. Around 52 percent supported maintenance of current funding levels and 38 percent thought funding should increase.
The institute also asked respondents, "How strongly would you support or oppose a tax increase to fund increased spending on public K-12 education?"
"You're pretty much going to get back everythingyouput inwith people who are better trained, more intelligent and better able to do their jobs," he said.
Kasper Schirer said he would be willing to pay higher taxes to ensure education was well-funded.
The study found a majority, 58 percent, were willing to pay higher taxes.
Chad Kniss, manager of the Survey Research Center, the division of the institute that conducts the surveys, said the question was put on the surveys because last year a majority of respondents on a questionnaire identified education as the biggest problem facing the state.
"Those two caveats aside, I think what the poll shows is that there is strong, widespread support for public education," he said
Steven Maynard-Moody, director of the institute, said there was usually a gap between what people said and what they would actually do. He also said public opinion should only be loosely connected to government policy.
the David Corbin, chair of the Kansas Senate Assessment and Taxation Committee, said the committee held hearings on several options for tax increases including cigarettes, alcohol, sales and gasoline.
However, with a potential shortfall of about $450 million in the budget, Corbin said tax increases might be difficult to avoid.
He said he thought tax increases to fund the budget was not a popular idea among senators and representatives right now.
"I think in the back of their minds, everyone knows that they're going to have to raise some revenue, but no one wants to," Corbin said.

Crime rate decreases on campus
By Rachel Keesee
Kansan staff writer
The total number of crimes reported on campus has decreased for the fourth straight year, falling 7.6 percent last year, according to the KU Public Safety Office.
percent drop. Lt. Schuyler Bailey said the decline was encouraging.
The report, released Friday, said 897 criminal offenses were reported in 2001. It also said the number of reported crimes had decreased by 582 crimes since 1997, almost a 40 percent drop.
"That means we're doing something right," Bailey said. "And not just we the police, but 'we' as a community."
Bailey said increased lighting in University parking lots helped officers patrol the areas.
One of the biggest declines was in thefts from automobiles, with 72 reported in 2001, compared to 96 in 2000.
Adam Obley, Topeka junior and member of the campus safety advisory board for Student Senate, said he was pleased with the decrease.
"I think the contributing factors are the increased lighting and blue emergency phones that we've used student funds to get around campus." Obley said.
pus. O'Brien.says Reports of violent crime, defined by the FBI as murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault, also declined in 2001.
But Bailey said rape and violent crimes often were not reported.
Only one violent crime, an aggravated assault, was reported last year.
"Even though no rapes were reported to us in 2001, we know it does not mean that rape didn't happen on his campus," Bailey said. "We recognize that rape, especially date or acquaintance rape, is an underreported crime."
Although the total number of reported crimes decreased, thefts from a building increased almost 13 percent last year.
"A majority of the problem is unattended property." Bailey said.
Embezzlement also increased, from none in 2000 to 11 in 2001.
"In each of the embezzlement cases, the suspect was identified and was either arrested or the case was sent to the district attorney," Bailey said.
Bailey said crime could be better prevented if people reported it to the police.
"University administration has always supported this department and its employees as we work to make this campus as safe as it can be, but we rely on the community to do their part," Bailey said. "They should report crimes when they happen and report any suspicious activity they see."

Interest rates hit 35-year low
Tuition may be going up, but the amount of money students pay to borrow for school is going down.
Brenda Maigaard, interim director of Student Financial Aid, said interest rates for student loans are the lowest they have been in 35 years.
And they may be going lower.
Students who have taken out federal direct student loans in the last three years owe only 5.39 percent interest this year. That rate will apply through June 30 of this year.
On July 1, the Department of Education will recalculate the interest rate based on the yield of the 3-month Treasury bill. If it holds steady, the new rate
will be 3.42 percent for the following twelve months.
Interest rates on the loans are recalculated once each year on July 1. The interest rate increases by 0.6 percentage points when a student graduates, but the rate is capped at 8.25 percent.
Students who want to apply for student loans need to pick up a Free Application For Student Aid (FAFSA) at the Office of Financial Aid, 50 Strong Hall, and submit it. Students can also apply online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov. The priority deadline for Free Application For Student Aid is March 1.

Disclosing atheism can be tough
By Maggie Koerth Kansan staff writer
One day while still in high school, Jesse Gruber told his parents his religious views had changed; he had become an atheist.
taught, he had become all alone.
"Ijust told them, there is no God," he said.
I just told them, there is no God," he said. Gruber, Lawrence sophomore, said his parents, who were Zen Buddhists, took the news rather well. Belief in a god is not a necessity for Buddhism, though some Buddhists do, according to the Dzogchen Foundation Web site. www.dzocheng.org.
"They disagree with me, but they respect my beliefs and opinions," he said. "I think they may have known I was atheist before I did."
Atheism means literally "without theism." Atheists believe there is no God, higher power or supernatural activity.
When Kelly Payton, Olympia, Wash., senior, told her parents about her atheist beliefs, she found out not all parents were as accepting as Gruber's.
Payton said she'd never really believed in God, but didn't tell her fundamentalist Christian parents until her junior year of high school.
"They were not delighted," she said.
Mostly because of that disclosure, Payton hasn't spoken with her parents in nearly five years.
"I don't know if we ever will again," she said. "It's been so long, maybe not."
According to a study done at the University of Chicago in 1990, atheism is on the rise in America. At that time, the number of people who described themselves as non-religious was growing at a rate of 110 percent per year.
Aaron Ketchell, graduate teaching assistant in religious studies, said he quoted this study every semester in his Religion in American Society class.
He said it wasn't surprising that religious parents might not be happy about their child becoming atheist.
"By and large, any move toward godlessness will be troublesome from the point of view of someone who believes in God," he said.
John Wade, staff psychologist at Counseling and Psychological Services, said while he had not spoken with atheist students specifically, he had dealt with many students who had to tell their parents difficult news.
"I don't encourage or discourage their decision," he said. "But I do try to get them to think about it."
Wade said he tried to get students to reflect on how the news would affect their relationship with their parents, not just at that moment, but later on as well.
He said it was important to try to break the news in the gentlest way possible.
1 recommend that they bring it up when
Three tips for telling your parents you're an atheist:
- Be confident. When you tell your parents, state it in no uncertain terms and in the present tense. Smile, be confident and proud. This is an accomplishment not a shame.
Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.
Be compassionate. Understand they love you and honestly believe in their religion.Make sure your parents know they did a good job raising you.

there is time to talk, and when their parents are in a good mood," he said.
He also said it was important for students to anticipate their parents' concerns and have answers to help quell their fears.
Payton said despite the rift between herself and her parents she was glad she had told them about her atheist beliefs.
"I would tell people not to be afraid to tell their parents," she said. "Everyone deserves to have their own religious beliefs."
'Actifier' to be tested for medical use

KU researchers plan to help infants with hi-tech pacifiers
OLIVIA SABI KANSAN
The Actifier is a device designed to measure brain activity and detect brain damage in premature babies. Designer Steve Barlow said that electrodes around the pacifier are used to send signals from the mouth to the brainstem and back to measure activity in the brain.
By Summer Lewis Kansan staff writer
A special pacifier, developed at the University of Kansas, that can detect potential brain injuries in newborns will be tested, thanks to a $2 million grant.
A team of researchers led by Steven Barlow, chairman of speech language and hearing at KU, has been working to develop the Actifier — an advanced pacifier that helps improve a newborn baby's ability to perform necessary motor skills such as breathing and swallowing. The National Institutes of Health last month gave the research team a five-year, $2.1 million grant, which will assist the team in testing the Actifier with area infants.
The Actifier detects brain injuries in premature infants and keeps the injuries from causing serious developmental problems, Barlow said. He said that in at least five years the Actifier could be as commonly used as the stethoscope in diagnosing health conditions.
Barlow, director of the Communication Neuroscience Laboratories in Waworth Hall, said the instrument consisted of a pacifier attached to a frame the size of an infant's shoe box. The wiring in the frame connects to a high-speed computer that gives real-time analysis of the baby's oral motor skills.
The analysis begins by matching a pacifier to the baby's mouth anatomy and size, Barlow said. The team incorporates eight recording electrodes to sample lip reflexes while premature infants suck on the pacifier. A highly specialized mechanical stimulator built into the shield of the pacifier stimulates sensitive
nerve endings in the baby's face. These nerve endings transmit neural signals to relay nuclei in the brain stem. Thus, the name Actifier, Barlow said.
"We have essentially transformed a passive device, such as a pacifier, into an active test instrument, the Actifier," he said.
Barlow said the integration was hypothesized to serve a crucial role in the formation and modification of centrally patterned brain movements, including sucking, swallowing and coordination with the chest wall during respiration.
"These early appearing motor behaviors will be examined carefully in relation to later appearing motor skills such as babbling and speech production," Barlow said.
He said another advantage of the Actifier was that the nipple could be programmed to change its shape periodically and rapidly, stimulating and prolonging the baby's desire to suck. This allows the baby to adjust his or her suck pattern to match the frequency produced by the Actifier, he said.
The research program began nearly 10 years ago at Indiana University and at that time involved only term babies through the first year of life, Barlow said. The goal was to learn more about the development of facial reflexes. In August of 2000, Barlow brought his research to KU.
Shiva Ponnaboyina, Hyderabad, India, graduate student, who works at the laboratory in Haworth with Barlow, said the Actifier was one of the best research developments at KU.
Mothers and premature babies in the Neonatal intensive care units at either KU Medical Center or Stormont Vail Medical Center in Topeka will be recruited for participation in the study, Barlow said. Approximately 390 babies will be studied from birth through 2 years of life in Kansas.

Meeting to focus on scholarship hall issues
By Caroline Boyer Kansan staff writer
Tuition increases, campus recycling, elections and a new parking committee will be some of the topics discussed today at the All Scholarship Hall Council town hall meeting for scholarship hall residents.
The council will begin the meeting at 6:15 p.m. at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Josh Boots, council president and Plano, Texas, senior, said the meeting would break up into roundtable discussions.
"We had a town hall meeting in the fall, and the roundtables worked really well, so hopefully they'll generate some good discussions." Boots said.
Boots said the committee hoped to have someone from the Student Legislative Awareness Board to help in the tuition discussions.
Aubrey Montague, Miller Scholarship Hall president and Great Bend sophomore, said she thought students often felt they couldn't participate in regular committee meetings.
"Town halls are just a way to make people feel free to come and participate," Montague said.
Boots said although discussing tearing down three houses on the 1300 block of Ohio to create two new scholarship halls was not on the agenda, he hoped someone would bring up the topic.
"It's never really been talked about in a forum setting," Boots said.

Montague said she didn't think scholarship hall residents had a strong opinion about tearing down the historic houses to create two new scholarship halls.
"If they build two more, we'd like to have them, but then where are we going to park?" Montague said.
Amanda Boyer, Amarillo Texas, freshman and Miller Hall resident, said she hoped the meeting would give her more information on more general topics.
"I'm probably going to go just to learn a little more about tuition, and I'm interested in running for ASHC," Boyer said.
Boots said the council would have door prizes and a prize for the scholarship hall with the largest attendance to encourage people to come.

KU, fraternity aren't to blame in Scott case
Felicia Bland's family should seek justice from individuals responsible
There's nothing wrong with filing a wrongful death lawsuit when a loved one is tragically killed. And while we can sympathize with the desire of Felicia Bland's family to hold someone responsible for her death, they have pinpointed the wrong parties.
Last week, the family filed a lawsuit that named the University of Kansas, Phi Gamma Delta fraternity and a KU student as parties responsible for the September 2000 death. Bland was killed when Sean Scott, then 16 years old, lost control of his car on Kansas Highway 10 and crashed into Bland's vehicle, according to court records. According to testimony, Scott had been drinking with his parents at the Wheel, 507 W. 14th St., and at the fraternity house before the accident.
Scott was originally sentenced in Johnson County District Court to two and a-half years at a youth correctional facility. In August, that sentence was reduced to five years probation.
We can understand why the family sought further justice in this civil case, but it is misguided. The lawsuit claims the University was negligent and should have better controlled the activities of KU-affiliated fraternities. The suit also named the fraternity as a responsible party in the events that led to Bland's death.
Nothing can bring Felicia Bland back to her family, but the individuals who helped Scott make the deadly decisions he chose to make should be held responsible, not the institutions.
Scott's parents and the fraternity member that gave him alcohol at the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity should be sued for their contribution to a 16 year old drinking and driving. But to blame the chapter and the University for those actions is stretching too far.
The University is a dry campus and there is no alcohol permitted in campus housing, but Phi Gamma Delta fraternity is not classified as university housing. The University is not liable for events that KU students are involved in off-campus and should not be sued for Sean Scott drinking at the fraternity that evening.
What's most confusing about this lawsuit is that the family has chosen to hold the fraternity and University responsible, but not the Wheel. Granted, the Wheel employees didn't sell alcohol to the teen-ager, but neither did the University of Kansas or the entire Phi Gamma Delta organization. They should either focus on the individuals directly responsible, or lay blame on all of the institutions implicated.
In the end, it is Sean Scott who must be held responsible for the immature, fatal decisions he made on Sept. 16, 2000. If Scott's family couldn't keep him from such egregious errors, how can we expect the University of Kansas to control every single student or a fraternity house to keep every chapter member from making a mistake?

PERSPECTIVE
Breaking out of safety zones helps you,your community
Two years ago I was in New Orleans participating in an Alternative Spring Break trip. Nine other girls and I were working at Project Lazarus, a home for people living with AIDS. We had a semester of extensive training on what we should expect and how to handle different situations specific to our site. There were not enough lectures or literature to really prepare me for what I was to encounter during that unforgettable week of my life.
As we walked up to the front door of Project Lazarus, I tried to calm the butterflies invading my stomach. I knew the facts. You can't contract HIV from touching, kissing or even tears. But I was apprehensive and it took me almost our entire trip to feel comfortable holding the hand of someone who had AIDS.
Walking through that door marked the beginning of the most exhilarating and most uncomfortable week of my life. That break marked the first time I broke out of my tightly sealed comfort zone, and I've been searching for uncomfortable situations ever since.
The University of Kansas offers a vast variety of organizations. Many give students the opportunity to connect with people in the Lawrence community, such as the Center for Community Outreach. Other programs, such as Alternative Breaks, send KU students across the country to touch lives

COMMENTARY
breaking out of my comfort zone and regretted it. It has changed the way that I look at the world, and has made me grateful for the things that I have in my life.
There are a million ways to seek out situations you have never been in before. Start small. Talk to the person who always sits alone at lunch. Go to a lecture on a topic that you would normally have no interest in. Seek out volunteer options such as tutoring at-risk children or serving food to the homeless community.
I like to seek out uncomfortable situations because they force me to grow. Putting myself in a situation that I have never been in before makes me learn something new. It makes me meet new people, who are usually very different from the people I already know. It makes me re-evaluate the way I live my own life. It breaks up the perpetual-to-do list I have to accomplish every day.
It is as simple as changing the way that you think, seeing the world through someone else's eyes. It might be uncomfortable and strange at first, and to really have the full experience, I hope it is. It will be a beneficial experience for you and for those you are helping.
in other communities. But it is up to students to make the effort to join in these organizations. And it is all too easy to fall into monotonous comfort zones and never crawl out.
Experiencing new things is an important part of college, and will benefit you when you graduate and start a career. But first it will change you as a person. So next Saturday afternoon, turn off your TV, abandon your couch and flannel pants, and send yourself out into the community to see what you can change.
You will find that your time is the most valuable possession that you can give, and your comfort zone will greatly expand.
cry day.
And I have never walked away from
There are several excuses we make up to make ourselves feel better about not getting involved and trying new things. I don't have time. I don't feel like it. I will do it next time. I want to go out. I don't feel comfortable. And thus ensues an everyday routine that emanates comfort and normality but also boredom and repetition.

Credit card hawkers have no place on University of Kansas campus
PERSPECTIVE
Each spring, thousands of KU students arrive on campus to study a plethora of subjects.
With any luck, in four, five and sometimes six years, these students will leave with a degree and fond memories of their time here. Unfortunately, some students are getting more than just an academic education — they are getting a hard lesson in credit card debt.
Unlike loans taken out during college, credit card debt grows from the moment you charge it. For those able to pay off that debt every month, a credit card can be a great tool. But for those of us who only make the minimum payment, an initial balance of a few thousand dollars can take years to pay off.
---
The most damaging thing about credit card debt is that the mistakes you make now can follow you for years to come. Because your credit report tracks the good and bad spots of your credit for at least seven years, your credit troubles can follow you beyond your college years.
GUEST COMMENTARY
Justin Mills opinion@kansan.com
Even if you pay off your debt while in school, your credit rating can prevent you from renting an apartment, buying
a car or even getting a job.
How do students get into so much debt? In part, it comes from personal irresponsibility. I will be the first person to admit that some of the fault has to be attributed to the individual.
It has been my experience that many credit card solicitors have little or no knowledge of how their own card works and will tell a student anything they want to hear in order to get them to sign up.
This leads to students using the card in potentially damaging ways. For instance, just paying the minimum on some card does little or nothing to pay off your debt.
Beyond the fact that credit card solicitors are an overall annoyance on campus, their practices have abused their rights on campus. Credit card companies are exploiting college students around the nation, and I think that it is the University's turn to remove them from campus.
Only paying the minimum balance each month greatly extends the time you
Their sale does not fall within the academic mission of the University. The University should be a marketplace of ideas, not merchandise. This is especially true in the case of credit cards because they are sold in such a public and intrusive fashion.
spend paying it off; especially when you're looking at a special "student" rate of as much as 20 percent. Because most students carry a balance, the high interest rates make us attractive customers.
So I say follow the example of numerous other college campuses around the country and get rid of credit card solicitors on campus. There actions are exploitative and they, above any other group, have no place in the community of KU.

Universities consider tuition waivers
The Associated Press
LAWRENCE — With tuition increases looming, several state universities are considering offering waivers to employees and their children.
Final plans aren't in place, but officials at Emporia State said they would create a waiver program in the next five years. Administrators at Fort Hays State University and Pittsburg State University said they also are considering waivers.
Though Kansas State University and University of Kansas administrators have not included waivers in their five year tuition plans, some faculty
and student leaders have shown support for them.
The interest in tuition waivers has been spurred by the possibility of stiff increases to make up for money universities won't be getting from the state, which faces a budget shortfall. Also, the state's new concept of "tuition ownership," which allows universities to keep the tuition they collect instead of having it forwarded to the state, would allow universities more control of tuition policies.
Alfred Lata, a chemistry lecturer and member of the University of Kansas' Faculty Council, said waivers would help recruit and retain faculty and staff.
waivers) would keep anyone from coming to KU," he said. "It would be much more pleasant to come if they knew free tuition was in the future."
But giving out free tuition to some while possibly doubling rates for other students might be politically unpopular.
"I don't know if (not having
"The board's been pretty vocal for a long time about the challenge of recruiting and retaining quality faculty," said Kim Wilcox, president of the Kansas Board of Regents. "Finding ways to get faculty in Kansas is a major goal. Raising tuition the same time we're giving tuition waivers is a difficult policy decision we'd have to look at closely."
Those concerns were enough to convince Wichita State University officials to not pursue waivers.
"We feel it's more important to keep tuition low," spokesman loe Kleinsasser said.
It's unclear how much tuition waivers would cost universities, which must first decide who would get them — faculty, staff, their spouses and their children all could be in the mix — and whether to provide total waivers or partial ones. Tuition waivers also could convince more children of faculty and staff to attend the universities where their parents work instead of going elsewhere, costing those universities even more.
Bills challenge common law marriage
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Testimony from a 16-year-old southeast Kansas girl helped move the Senate Judiciary Committee to endorse a bill yesterday ending common law marriage.
Sara Shelton, of Buffalo, told of giving birth to two children by a family acquaintance by age 14. Jerry Paul Crooks Jr was convicted of rape and sentenced to 25 years
but claimed during his trial that they had a common law marriage
Her case led Sen. Dwayne Umbarger to advocate legislation invalidating common law marriages entered into after June 30 of this year.
"I don't see that we need common law marriages today," said Umbarger, R-Thayer, who serves on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Both Umbarger and Sen. Derek Schmidt, R-Independence, said Shelton's case brought the issue to their attention.
Common law marriages, which require no marriage certificate, have been recognized in Kansas since at least 1886, when the Supreme Court upheld a Shawnee County man's bigamy conviction based on the law. Only the District of Columbia and seven other states still recognize such marriages — Alabama, Colorado, Iowa, Montana, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and South Carolina.
Tradition makes some legislators hesitate to ban the practice. The House Judiciary Committee has a bill that would require a parent, guardian or judge's approval if one of the parties to a prospective common law marriage is under 18.
House Judiciary Chairman Mike O'Neal, R-Hutchinson, said common law marriages gave partners, particularly women, property rights, should those relationships end.
"I would be reluctant to completely end it," he said of the practice. "Our bill modernizes it."
Shelton told legislators she

was 10 when Crooks, then living with her family in Texas, began having sex with her. She became pregnant, gave birth to a boy and put him up for adoption.
Now living with her son in a Buffalo foster home, Shelton said she worried during Crooks' trial that his claim of a common law marriage would give him access to the boy.
Couple sues realtor for selling "murder house"
The Associated Press
OLATHE — Pam and John Westhoff followed the news reports of a grisly killing in Leawood — an elderly man beaten to death with a baseball bat, his new wife badly injured.
Eighteen months later, they bought a house in Leawood.
The Westhoffs didn't connect the two events for another year. A neighbor's chance remark to a contractor told them what nobody else had; that they had bought the house where Lawrence Kubik, 77, was murdered in 1999.
The Westhoffs have filed a lawsuit in Johnson County District Court, claiming they were victims of misrepresentation. They also claim the sale violated Kansas consumer protection laws.
Disclosure that a house was a crime scene is not required in either Kansas or Missouri, where the Westhoffs lived before moving to the Kansas side of the Kansas City metropolitan area.
Their lawsuit alleges that the previous homeowners and the real estate professionals had a duty to disclose that a "gruesome murder" had occurred in the house.
The defendants said they had no such obligation, although in court documents answering the accusations, they maintain that an agent working for the Westroffs was told about the crime. The Westroff's agent denies the claim.
The lawsuits names real estate agent Ginny Kirsch and her
employer, Re/Max First Realtors, as defendants, along with the nephew of former owner Marguerite Bacher-Kubik, Fred Allen Cloud, and the trust established to handle Bacher-Kubik's affairs.
Kirsch declined to comment, as did Cloud's attorney.
In their lawsuit, the Westhoffs are asking for more than $200,000 in property damages; $500,000 for pain and suffering; and $5 million in punitive damages.
ram Westhoff, however, said the intent of the lawsuit was to prompt a change in real estate disclosure requirements.
Jan Moore, the agent who represented the Westhoffs in the transaction, said that if Kansas law did not require such disclosure, then the law needed to be changed.
one disclosure form that the Kansas City Board of Realtors has developed for use in both states covers the scenario, in Moore's opinion. One section requires the seller to disclose any condition that "materially, adversely affects the value of the property."
Pam Westhoff said she had heard of the crime, which occurred more than a year before she and her husband bought the house, but had no idea of the specific address.
"We would definitely not have taken the house if we knew," she said.
Some have suggested that the Westhoffs should resell the house to someone else, but Pam Westhoff said she and her husband couldn't do that.

American loses appeal in Peru
The Associated Press
LIMA, Peru — Peru's Supreme Court has upheld a 20-year prison sentence against American Lori Berenson for collaborating with leftist rebels to seize Congress, the presiding justice said yesterday.
Guillermo Cabala said that four of the five judges on the panel that oversees criminal appeals voted to confirm the 20-year sentence. One judge voted to reduce the sentence to 15 years, Cabala said.
The panel was Berenson's last option for an appeal in the Peruvian justice system.
Cabala said the judges voted last week, but the decision was only announced yesterday.
Berenson, 32, was convicted in June of terrorist collaboration in a failed bid by the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement to take over Peru's Congress in 1995. She was acquitted of being a member of the rebel group.
The New York native was sentenced to 20 years in prison but is due to be released in 2015 because she had already served five years under an earlier terrorist conviction by a secret military tribunal.
In 1996, a military court of hooded judges sentenced Beren-
son to life in prison without parole on charges she was a rebel leader. After years of pressure from the United States, a higher military tribunal overturned the ruling in August 2000 and sent her case to a civilian anti-terrorism court.
That court ruled that Berenson aided the Tupac Amaru rebels by renting a house that served as their hide-out and posing as a journalist to enter Congress to gather intelligence with a ton rebel commander's wife.
Berenson said she didn't know her housemates were rebels, and hired the commander's wife as a photographer to
help with articles she was writing for magazines in the United States.
Berenson considers herself a political prisoner and says authorities unfairly portrayed her concern for social justice as a terrorist agenda.
Her parents, Mark and Rhoda Berenson of New York, have begun a campaign to pressure Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo to grant her a pardon. Peruvian officials had declined to comment on the possibility of a pardon as long as the case was in the courts. There was no official reaction to yesterday's verdict.
United agrees to union demands
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — United Airlines announced a tentative contract agreement with the union representing its 12,800 mechanics and aircraft cleaners yesterday, less than 36 hours before a strike deadline.
The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers scheduled a March 5 ratification vote by mechanics on an agreement it said included improvements on retroactive pay and retirement benefits.
The announcement came on the fourth day of urgent talks following the mechanics' rejection
"Our negotiating team and United's labor committee of the board of directors have accepted the terms of the IAM's proposal." Jack Creighton, chairman and chief executive of United parent UAL Corp., said in a prepared statement. "With the agreement, our customers can be confident that United will continue to operate without disruption."
of United's contract offer last Tuesday. The mechanics were preparing to walk off the job at 12:01 a.m. EST Wednesday if no settlement were reached.
Chief union negotiator Scotty Ford said the agreement would
give United mechanics the industry-leading contract they had been seeking.
"This negotiating committee unanimously recommends a "yes" vote on the agreement reached today," said Ford, who did not make a recommendation before last week's vote.
One key change, the union said, was that mechanics would now be allowed to vote separately on the terms of future concessions the airline seeks as part of its financial recovery plan. Last week they were asked to approve unspecified concessions as part of the contract terms.
Despite Creighton's repeated
assurances that he was confident an agreement would be reached. United had acknowledged a decline in bookings for the coming days, reflecting public fears of a shutdown.
Negotiators for the two sides held talks through the weekend in a hotel in suburban Rosemont, Ill., near both O'Hare International Airport and UAL headquarters.
Mechanics over the weekend began removing their tool boxes and personal belongings from United maintenance centers in preparation for a strike.
The Associated Press
The tentative deal means its jets will continue to operate without disruption, United said.
NEW YORK — The firefighters' movements are calm as they arrive at the burning north tower of the World Trade Center. Their eyes grow wide as the magnitude of their mission becomes clear. Then come the thumps — one after another — and a voice saying that people are jumping.
The horrific noises continue as the videotape shot by two French filmmakers keeps rolling: A drone followed by a sudden bang accompanies the image of a second plane slamming into the south tower and later, a white
noise builds to a crescendo as that tower collapses and people run for cover.
The tape by brothers Gedeon and Jules Naudet is an extraordinary account of courage and dread, of composure under pressure and of the cataclysmic moments that, for many of the men captured on it, were their last.
It has made the rounds of New York firehouses since Sept. 11 and was recently reviewed by The Associated Press. CBS plans to air footage on March 10 to commemorate the six-month anniversary of the attacks.
"When I sat down to watch this video, I was very apprehensive,"
said John Vigiano, a retired firefighter whose sons, firefighter John and police Det. Joseph, died in the attacks. "But when I was finished watching it, the overwhelming emotion I had was pride. There was never a sign of panic in anybody."
The fire department is using the tape as an investigative tool, but it also contains historical significance and great personal meaning, spokesman Francis Gribbon said. Rights to the tape belong to the Naudets, who have worked closely with the department on its use.
"They've been very sensitive to the families and the fact that
they've had this footage of a significant number of people who perished that day," Gribbon said.
The brothers were shooting a documentary about the life of a probationary firefighter, as they had been doing for many weeks, when the attacks began.
The opening shot has been seen by millions. The camera, tapping firefighters checking a gas leak in lower Manhattan, pans up and captures the first plane slamming into the north tower. Most of the footage was shot by Jules, who accompanied firefighters to the north tower where they set up their first command center.
Dozens more bodies uncovered near crematory
The Associated Press
NOBLE, Ga. — Grim-faced investigators yesterday unearthed dozens more corpses scattered around a northwest Georgia crematory, finding skeletons sealed in vaults and bodies that had been dragged into a shed. The count rose to 139.
Forensics teams said they had identified 27 bodies, and agents warned they expected to find many more. "I can't even begin to guess" what the total will be, said
Dr. Kris Sperry, the state's chief medical examiner.
Ray Brent Marsh, operator of Tri-State Crematory in this rural town 20 miles south of Chattanooga, Tenn., was arrested for a second time and authorities filed 11 new theft-by-deception charges against him, bringing the total to 16.
Marsh, 28, had been arrested Saturday and was released from jail Sunday on $25,000 bond. He was back in Walker County jail yesterday. A bond hearing had not been scheduled because
Marsh does not have an attorney, chief magistrate Jerry Day said.
Forensics experts studied 51 urns, and said nine likely contained powdered cement rather than human remains, Sperry said. The other 42 appeared to be human remains, but it was not clear whose he said.
The bodies have been discovered in varying conditions, some estimated to be weeks old and some decayed for more than a decade. Handlers had been "just merely dragging them out there or dropping them out there," Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson said.
As investigators combed the grounds, grief-streaked families arrived with urns of ashes, wondering whether loved ones they thought had been cremated were instead among the corpses.
In almost all cases, Tri-State Crematory had picked up the bodies from funeral homes and delivered ashes later in return, said Walker County coroner Dewayne Wilson, who is not related to the sheriff.
New York students create Sept.11 art
The Associated Press
BERLIN — New York high school junior Nicholas Lara felt his school shake on Sept. 11 when the second plane hit the nearby World Trade Center.
After being evacuated to Battery Park, the 16-year-old watched the first tower waver and remembers thinking it might fall where he and his classmates were standing.
Invited by Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder to Germany after the attacks, Lara and 24 other New York students from the four high schools nearest ground zero on Monday began a mural as part of their visit, artistically expressing their feelings about that day.
Lara, a student at the High School for Leadership and Public Service, painted two large white doves and many smaller ones flying through green trees into a blue sky.
"The doves are for peace, the trees are for life," he explained. "That's how I want the future to be with people living in peace."
- with people living in peace."
The students visiting Germany are being drawn from all New York City high schools,
public and private, but the first 25 are from the four closest to ground zero. The students are the first of 1,000 who will cross the Atlantic over the next 18 months.
Led by artist Christine Haberstock, the group worked on three 6-foot-by-8-foot wooden panels.
"They're so honest," said Haberstock, a South African painter and illustrator who spent a decade in Los Angeles before relocating to Berlin. "They were totally loaded with ideas — I didn't have to do anything."
Obinna Onwuchekwa, 16, from the High School for Economics and Finance, painted the twin towers in simple black, then wrote the words "FDNY, NYPD, Port Authority, Victims and Never Forget 9-11-01" around the peripheries.
"There's so much good art here," he said gesturing at the mural, "that I just thought: something simple."
After all the 1,000 students have worked on additional panels, the mural will be about 30 yards long, Haberstock said. It will likely be brought back to the United States as a touring display, and perhaps visit other countries.
Iranian officials upset about U.S.allegations
The Associated Press
TEHRAN, Iran — There were no al-Qaida members among the more than 100 people detained after crossing into Iran from Afghanistan and Pakistan, Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi told journalists yesterday. He said most were women and children.
Iran's official Islamic Republic News Agency reported last week that authorities had arrested about 150 foreigners who entered the country, including a number of Arabs, and were questioning them about links to al-Qaida or the Taliban.
Kharrazi confirmed that more than 100 people are being held — about 70 children, 40 women and several men—and said "we did not find any al-Oaida among them."
United States officials have said Iran is not doing enough to stop or round up suspected Taliban or al-Qaida members fleeing into Iran.
CIA Director George Tenet said this month that Tehran had failed "to move decisively against al-Qaida members who have relocated to Iran from Afghanistan."
Kharrazi said Iran shares no "commonalities" with al-Qaida that would lead it to help
the organization after its defeat in Afghanistan, and lashed out at the U.S.
He said the U. S. is trying to create a "world dictatorship" and criticized President Bush for lumping Iran with Iraq and North Korea in an "axis of evil" in his State of the Union speech last month.
"The United States is trying to complete its hegemony on the world. While Iran is calling for dialogue among civilizations, America is calling for war," Kharrazi said.
Relations between Iran and the U.S. seemed to improve following the Sept. 11 attacks, which Iran condemned. At the time, Iran also publicized its vigorous opposition to the Taliban, which harbored al-Qaida in Afghanistan.
But the comments from Bush and other U.S. officials ended that mood.
Dismissing U.S. claims that Iran was trying to undermine Afghanistan's interim government, Kharrazi said the reconstruction of Afghanistan was in Iran's national interest.
"We are determined to remain in Afghanistan as long as the government and the people want us to do so," he said. He said Afghanistan's interim prime minister, Hamid Karzai, was expected for talks in Tehran next week.

COMMENTARY

Roy should let team run all the way to Atlanta
College basketball's most vicious storm came down in sheets last night, attacking with the ferocity of El Niño.
Iowa State was the victim. The damage spread early. And when the Jayhawks plaved, it poured.
With just under eight minutes left in the first half, Kansas had cruised to a 25-10 lead. Iowa State coach Larry Eustachy had a lifeless expression on his face. After he motioned for a timeout, Eustachy sauntered onto the court to meet his defeated troops, then shrugged his shoulders and rolled his eyes.
There were few answers for the carnage on the court. Crowned No.1 in the nation just a day before, Kansas opened the game with an insatiable hunger that had not been seen since its early-January stomping of Oklahoma State. There was little indecision, doubt or hesitation. No set plays. No structured offense. No slowing it down.

Kansas just played.
Don't blink. Kansas' game may pass you by. You might miss the greatest show in college hoops.
Unmerciful. Unforgiving. Unbelievable
The most explosive and ferocious stock car in Big 12 basketball played its game at a warped speed unparalleled in the college game. And last night at the Allen Fieldhouse 500, the bloodthirsty Jayhawks ran circles around the Cyclones as if they were orange cones. Each trip down the court for Kansas was a race for the checkered flag. The 24-2 team is at its best when it never slows down — when it creates the tempo, forces the flow and pushes the basketball.
But the biggest change this season has been made by the biggest name in Lawrence.
Everyone understands the level of Kansas' talent. No 6-foot-10 athlete in the country is more graceful and gifted than Drew Gooden. No post player has the finesse and fanciness of Nick Collison. No one player is more invaluable to one team than Kirk Hinrich. And it took just three months for the three freshmen to find their niche.
Coach Roy Williams has modified his system. Yes, he still coaches. And yes, he still teaches. But the times Williams is most effective are when he sits on the sideline and watches his team play.
After the final horn sounded, Kansas players took turns climbing a ladder to cut the white-nylon nets. The Jayhawks captured a new crown, one they've been without for three seasons — Big 12 Championship. And if they emulate last night's play in the next few weeks, there will be another snipping session at the Big 12 Tournament in Kansas City, Mo.
But the only nets that have immortal value are the ones that dangle from the rims in Atlanta, the home of this year's Final Four.

When those come down, the storm can stop.
Victory against Cyclones secures top conference spot for Hawks, but it will take at least one more win if they don't want to share it
By Doug Pacey Kansan sportswriter
Kansas junior forward Drew Gooden, right, tips in freshman swingman Keith Langford's shot during the second half of yesterday's 102-6 victory against Iowa State. Gooden scored 26 points and grabbed nine rebounds, helping the Jayhawks beat the Cyclones for the first time in Allen Fieldhouse overwhelms.
LAURIE SISK/KANSAN
Kansas has played high-ranked opponents and in games with more intense rivalries this season, but none of those contests were as important as last night's match-up with unranked Iowa State.
Ranked No.1 for the first time in seven weeks and playing in a nationally-televised game as part of ESPN's "Big Monday," the Jayhawks needed a win to clinch a share of its first Big 12 Conference championship since 1998.
Fittingly, the Jayhawks had to get the victory against the Cyclones, winners of last two Big 12 titles.
Kansas did more than win the game, the Jayhawks (24-2 overall, 13-0 Big 12) routed the Cyclones (11-16, 3-10) 102-66 for their third Big 12 title and 46th conference championship in school history.
"This was one step, one of our goals and we're striving for some more," said junior forward Drew Gooden, decked out in a conference championship T-shirt and hat.
After the game, the Jayhawks climbed a ladder under the north basketball goal and each snipped a piece of the net away from the rim. Junior guard Kirk Hinrich pointed his index finger in the air to signal Kansas being No. 1. Gooden bounced up and down on the ladder and waved his arms as the crowd chanted, "One more year, one more year." Roy Williams simply clenched his fists and raised his arms over his head.
But after everyone had cut their keepsakes from the hoop the net still hung by two strands.
"That's unfinished business," Gooden said. "Not to take anything away from all the teams we've got to play coming up, but we did clinch tonight and it's the best time to cut the nets down as far as a home game because our next home game is Senior Night and you know how long those speeches go."
Those two strands might just turn out to be a formality. If Kansas plays as well as against its final three regular season opponents as the Jayhawks did against Iowa State, there's no doubt they will be the Big 12's champions.
Kansas dominated Iowa State every way possible. The team jumped out to a 16-2 lead eight minutes into the game and used a 16-3 streak later in the first half to power its way to a 49-25 halftime advantage. Kansas made 23 of 35 first-half shots, 65.7 percent, to the Cyclones' 10 for 29 performance, 34.5 percent.
The second half was more of the same. The Jayhawks abused Iowa State inside, they out-scored the Cyclones 66-30 in the paint, and Kansas' reserves even scored 13 points in the final three-and-a-half minutes.
Gooden said there was pressure on the Jayhawks to perform well because of Kansas' new No. 1 ranking and the possibility of winning a share of the title, but he didn't play like anything affected him.
The junior Wooden and Naismith awards finalistsmade 12 of 16 shots and finished with 26 points
in 26 minutes.
120 minutes.
"We got to be ranked No. 1 today and there was a lot of pressure to clinch the conference tonight," he said. "Ranked No. 1 for the first day and it was a big time day. There was a lot of pressure and expectations, too. A lot of people were watching us to see what we were going to do and we got a win."

Kansas backs up top ranking in Big Monday rout
By Brent Wesko Kansan sportswriter
The No. 1 ranking hasn't always been kind to the Kansas basketball team during the Roy Williams coaching era.
Kansas once again regained the top spot in the Associated Press Poll with Iowa State coming into town last night for a nationally-televised game in Allen Fieldhouse, where the Cyclones had won two straight games.
Williams has seen very good teams under his direction lose big games in the hot glare of the spotlight almost too many times to count. The previous time the Jayhawks were ranked No. 1 in the country this season, the team fell on the road to UCLA. 87-77.
But this time, Kansas did not succumb to the pressure of being the No.1 team, stomping Iowa State 102-66 and claiming at least a tie of the Big 12 Conference title.
"The season has a lot of obstacles. We lost our first game after becoming No. 1, and now we're No. 1 again." Kansas jun-
10r forward Drew Gooden said, "There was a lot of pressure on us, and it was a big game, but I think we responded."
Jayhawk freshman forward Wayne Simien said after the game he was concerned about the team's top ranking.
"We kind of look at the No. 1 ranking as a curse, but we just wanted to put that behind us and focus on the game," Simien said. "It's always good being No. 1, but with our previous history, games like this make you a little nervous."
Gooden thought differently. He said the team doesn't even talk about its ranking much during the season.
"The team doesn't care if we're ranked one, two, three or four," Gooden said. "We just want to go out there and take care of business every game."
Kansas' blowout of Iowa State with the pressure on should come as no surprise. The Jayhawks haven't let being the spotlight rattle them all season.
The Jayhawks' triumph against the Cyclones was the third straight victory in as many weeks for Kansas on ESPN's "Big Monday." The squad is 7-
1 this season when playing in front of a national television audience, with its only loss coming against UCLA.
In addition to playing a lot of games on national television, Kansas has also had to deal with the pressure of always playing the role as the favorite. The Jayhawks have been ranked among the nation's top five teams all season with the exception of two weeks, and they have never relinquished the No.1 spot in the Big 12 standings.
Simien said having such a high ranking and receiving so much exposure had helped to motivate the team at times this season, including the game last night against Iowa State.
Williams said his team hadn't been looking down the road, which has helped the Jayhawks keep their focus, whether they're matched up against a strong opponent or playing on
"With the whole country watching, you want to show everyone that you deserve the No.1 ranking," he said. "We always get a little extra hyped for games like this on television."
national television.
"I have been big all season in getting our guys to enjoy the journey and not just be thinking about the outcome in the end." Williams said. "I want them to enjoy what goes on in college basketball."

Hall of Fame lacks funding, closes doors in Abilene
KANSAS SPORTS
S
ABILENE — The Kansas Sports Hall of Fame is getting ready to shut down because it's running out of money, hall officials said.
The Associated Press
"As of March 1, we're locking the door," Ray Wyatt, the president of the nonprofit organization that runs the hall, said yesterday.
Throughout the hall's 41-year history, it has never received permanent funding from the state, even though it's a state agency. It has gotten about $50,000 per year from the legislature during the past few years.
He said the hall could reopen if it received enough funding.
few years.
The rest has been collected by $1 ticket surcharges charged at a few games each year involving Kansas schools. But Kansas State University has dropped the surcharge, and Gov. Bill Graves did not include the $50,000 in his proposed budget for this year, leaving the hall $100,000 in the red, according to Rick Williamson, a trustee for the hall.
Rep. Shari Weber, R-Herington, has introduced a bill that would resurrect the ticket surcharges. Weber's bill would place a $1 surcharge on one football game and one varsity basketball game each for men and women. The surcharge would bring in an estimated $130,000 to $200,000 per year. The hall operates on an annual budget ranging from $300,000 to $350,000 per year.
Most of its current funding comes from private donations, fund-raising activities, voluntary surcharges, publication of the Kansas Sports Magazine and museum admissions.
The hall has five paid employees and had been open seven days a week, although it is now closed on weekends to save money.
Even though Weber's proposal did not rely on tax money, Williamson said he was not optimistic about the outcome.
"Essentially this is something the fans will pay, but the climate at the legislature is just not real good for something like this at this time," he said.
Tampa Bay hires Gruden to replace Dungy as coach
The Associated Press
TAMPA, Fla. — After more than a month without a coach, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers finally have the man they wanted almost from the start: Jon Gruden.
Jon Gruden.
After spending the weekend in negotiations with San Francisco coach Steve Mariucci, the Bucs reversed field Monday and hired Gruden, who had a year left on his contract with the Oakland Raiders but had indicated he would not stay when it expired after next season.
"We were determined not to let outside pressures derail us from our goal to find the best person to coach the Buccaneers. Our fans deserve nothing less," Bryan Glazer, the team's executive vice president, said in a statement.
PIRATE FLAG
"That person is Jon Gruden, the finest young mind in the game. We took our time and got the
man we really wanted and we couldn't be more thrilled."
The Bucs said Gruden had received a five-year deal. Terms of that deal were not disclosed.
The 38-year-old Gruden and NFLs youngest head coach, has a 40-28 record in four seasons as the Raiders' coach. He replaces Tony Dungy, who was fired Jan. 14, which lead to a difficult search where it seemed as though nobody wanted to coach in Tampa Bay.
First the Bucs were rejected by two-time Super Bowl winner Bill Parcells, with whom they were said to have a deal in place even before Dungy's dismissal.
Last weekend, the Bucs talked to San Francisco coach Steve Mariucci about the coach and general manager job, but were unable to reach agreement.
Then they then failed to reach agreement with the Raiders on a deal for Gruden, whose agent, Bob LaMonte, made it clear would not stick around after his contract expired.
The Bucs said the compensation for Gruden would be announced Wednesday, when the new coach will be introduced in Tampa.

New judging scale for skating proposed
SALT LAKE CITY — The 6.0 judging system in figure skating would be replaced by a points system in a revolutionary proposal by the president of the International Skating Union.
The Associated Press
The plan also calls for 14 judges, rather than the current nine, with seven of the scores thrown out. Judges wouldn't know which scores count, reducing the possibility of judging improprieties that have rocked the Salt Lake City Games.
Cinquanta presented his reform proposals to the ISU's council yesterday morning, and he said there was a "consensus" to approve them.
"This project that is a total revolution in the history of the International Skating Union," president Ottavio Cinquanta said. "But more importantly, I promise this system will reduce to a minimum the prospect of bloc judging."
However, the reform package must still be approved by the entire ISU, which will meet in June in Kyoto, Japan, for its biennial congress.
Figure skating's subjective judging system has long been criticized because it leaves room for improprieties. Skaters start with a base mark of 6.0, and deductions are taken for mistakes and missed elements. Skaters also can be marked down simply for the aesthetics of their programs.
The plan is in its very early stages, and Cinquanta said it was unclear how quickly it could be voted on or implemented.
Under Cinquanta's proposal, every technical element — including jumps, spins, footwork, spirals — would have a certain point value. A double axel, for example, could be worth two points and a more difficult jump, such as a triple, could be worth three.
Skaters would get points for those required elements, as well as for execution. The winner would then be determined by total points, similar to the way other subjective sports are scored, such as diving.
"The system change is terrific because instead of going down, we go up," Cinquanta said.
The proposals are radical. Skating has used
the same judging system since its inception, and a 6.0 — just like a 10.0 in gymnastics — is accepted universally as the mark of perfection.
But the scandal over the judging of the pairs final Feb. 11 is proof there's need for change, Cinquanta said.
"It is time to find out something new," Cinquanta said.
Cinquanta and "We are very proud of this, very proud to have tried to deliver a system for all of the sport."
Russians Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze won the gold medal by the slimmest of margins, defeating Jamie Sale and David Pelletier 5-4. But French judge Marie-Reine Le Gougne said the next day that she'd been pressured to put the Russians first, implicating her federation.
After an outlay — and accusations of voteswapping among ice skating judges — the ISU and International Olympic Committee awarded the Canadians their own gold medals. Le Gougne was suspended indefinitely.
Evening concerts liven up Olympics
The Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — Mosh pits packed with undulating bodies. Athletes bodsurfing atop throbbing masses. Frenzied fans screaming at top pitch for big stars.
No, it's not the crowd at the ice dancing competition or, for that matter, snowboarding. The hottest ticket at these Winter Olympics is smack-dab in the middle of downtown Salt Lake City.
In a parking lot owned by the Mormon Church, in the land of Osmonds and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, 20,000 people a night are jamming to the likes of Smash Mouth, the Barenaked Ladies and the Foo Fighters
The nightly concerts at the Olympics Medals Plaza have turned the usually staid Olympics in usually conservative Salt Lake
City into a rockin' nucleus of fun.
"This is more excitement than Salt Lake City's ever seen and probably will ever see again," said Christopher Smart, managing editor of the alternative newspaper The Salt Lake City Weekly. "Even critics and curmudgeons like myself are feeling the excitement."
"We rock! We rock!" a 30-something screeched on one recent night as she pushed her way into a mosh pit filled with fans waving flags and jingling cowbells.
Nearby, a guy in a ski jacket with "America" emblazoned on the back performed a freakish fusion of the chicken dance and moonwalk, his girlfriend adopting that, "He's not with me" expression.
A toddler twirled to the beat next to a posse of teen-age girls in ponytails and baggy jeans. "Woo hoo! Girls night out!" they shrieked, erupting into a chorus of giggles.
It's still not the coolest scene around, but it's not bad for an organizing committee whose chief was amused to discover the Bare-naked Ladies "includes no ladies" and "are clothed."
Creative director Scott Givens gets credit for the idea. After seeing the medals plaza at the 1998 Nagano Games, which held 3,000 people and showcased traditional Japanese entertainers, Givens wanted to create something more "electric" for the site, where most medals are handed out.
medias are manned to land. He set out to land a lineup of bands that would appeal to an ever-edgier group of Winter Olympians sporting body-piercings and tattoos along with their skis, boards and skates.
he ended up with an all-star roster of rock, pop and alternative artists, with a couple of country singers thrown into the mix.

My name is David Yarnevich, and I am a jerk. Recently I said some extremely hurtful things to a woman whom I care very much for. I had assumed things that were not true, and that she felt things she did not. I wish I could take back the things I said, but I cannot change the past. I do not think she will ever feel towards me the way I do her, so the only thing I can hope for is forgiveness. If she is out there reading this, I want her to know that I know I was wrong, and I am sorry.

WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah — John LeClair scored two goals and Brett Hull added another in the opening eight minutes of the second period as the United States beat Belarus 8-1 yesterday for its best Olympic start since 1980.
Mike Modano, reunited on a line with Hull, his former Dallas Stars teammate, also had two assists as the Americans finished 2-0

Hull scored on a slap shot in the first minute of the period after Belarus goalie Andrei Mezin shut out the United States in the first period, then set up LeClair for two goals in less than five minutes — giving LeClair five goals in three games.

Toy makers are taking note with new diverse doll lines, including the first multiracial Barbie. A Mattel spokeswoman said the new Barbie could be viewed as black, Asian and Hispanic — a "mix of cultures in one doll."
Diverse dolls newest toy trend
Industry experts said an increased demand and awareness of other cultures had spawned a new wave of diverse dolls.
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — One girl is black, the second white. But Allister Byrd and Samantha Arvin said the same thing when it came to playing with dolls.
They loved them in any color

old who lives across the Mississippi River in suburban St. Louis, agreed. Last Christmas, she asked for a third black Barbie so she could recreate her favorite music group—Destiny's Child.
Adrienne Hymes, a Los Angeles doll maker, said she had seen more demand for dolls that weren't white in the past year.
"I just chalk it up to people being more open-minded now," said Hymes, who began making her dolls, now sold as a line called Hymakins.
some parents and TV commentators because its packaging included hard-hitting doll "biographies" that mentioned parents who were drug addicts, or who abandoned and even sold their children.
Officials at Chicago-based Teddi's Toys, who created the dolls, have since removed some of the made-up doll background. But they're keeping the Ghetto Kids name.
Marguerite Wright, a clinical psychologist from Oakland, Calif., said sometimes parents insisted that their children play with dolls of a certain race, usually their own.
"It's just a small step between forcing children to choose dolls according to skin color and forcing them to choose friends according to skin color," Wright said.

'Hawks happy to play at home
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
After a three-game road trip that resulted in a sweep of Centenary College, coach Bobby Randall and the Kansas baseball team was glad to be home.
"I'm not a road warrior," he said with a smile.
Perhaps the smile came because the Jayhawks (4-0) would play 11 of their next 12 games at Hogland Ballpark, with the first game starting 3 p.m. today at against Newman University.
Kansas is riding a nine-game winning streak, dating back to last season. The successful stretch is the longest current winning streak in the Big 12 Conference.
"I think we're playing pretty well," senior pitcher Dan Olson said, "but there's a lot of room for improvement."
Olson and fellow senior pitchers Jeff Davis and Jake Wright have accounted for all of the Jayhawk's victories on the mound. The three have combined for a
minuscule 1.33 ERA, striking out 22 and walking five.
"You know what, they've been everything, and they're going to be more," Randall said. "They've brought some maturity and leadership."
As a whole, the pitching staff boasts a 1.50 ERA, and opponents are hitting just 220 against them.
"We've talked about earlier in the year how unproven our pitching was but there was some talent," Randall said. "We've been relentless as far as going at the hitters."
Fresnman Chris Jones is expected to star on the mound for Kansas today. He pitched two scoreless innings of relief against Ottawa, striking out one and giving up one hit.
"We're not gonna pitch Chris so much that he won't be available for the weekend," Randall said. "We'll see how the game goes."
Notes

State proposes cuts
By Sarah Hill Kansan staff writer
A Kansas House committee yesterday recommended a higher education budget that included $5.5 million in budget cuts for the University of Kansas.
If approved by the Legislature, the cuts would reduce state appropriations to KU from the previously proposed $138.7 million to $133.2 million. The new budget, for the fiscal year that begins in July, was ratified by the Kansas House education and
legislative budget committee. If approved, it would reduce state aid to all six Board of Regents schools by a total of about $27 million, 3.8 percent less than was allocated this year.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway said the shortfall in state appropriations for KU would be more than just four percent. Because of state-mandated annual salary increases and the fixed cost of health insurance, KU's budget shortfall would be closer to $15.4 million, he said.
This means the University would have to find other sources of revenue
or other ways to cut costs.
"We would have to find ways to keep the University open," he said. "We'll have to look at whether or not to cancel some programs, there could be a hiring freeze, and we might not be able to replace people who retire."
who retire.
State Rep. Barbara Ballard, D-Lawrence, said the cuts were "devastating," but the committee passed the budget because it had no alternatives.
The Legislature would have to approve tax increases, such as the proposed new cigarette tax, to avoid
cuts, she said.
cuts," she said.
"We do have to submit a budget,
but we can avoid cuts if we have alternatives," she said.
Ballard said that the state needed to increase its revenue to prevent the budget cuts.
"We've never experienced budget cuts this deep," she said. "We have to look at every option that is available to us."

Hein and his girlfriend, Lindsey Evans, Marietta, Ga., junior, jumped from the second floor to escape the fire. Hein sprained his ankle and Evans suffered four compressed vertebrae. She still wears a back brace, Hein said.

"Upstairs is fine, but I think walking on crutches put a lot of pressure on my right knee," he said.
Aside from the physical injury, Hein said he had to deal with reminders of the fire.
"You get freaked out by the smell of barbecue grill smoke or cigarette smoke or something burning in the fireplace," he said. "It's amazing how much it reminds me of the fire. It kind of makes me queasy."
Partly as a safety precaution, Hein said he got a new puppy. His previous dog, Alko, died in the fire after waking Hein and Evans, helping them escape alive.
Aiko was named after a Grateful Dead song. The new dog is named after a musician, he said.
"I named my new dog Django," Hein said. "I sometimes make the mistake of calling him by my
other dog's name, but I'm learning."
The five former housemates have met to talk things over with their families, Hein said, even though they are now living in separate homes. They all asked that only Hein speak with the media.
Matthew Gader, Topeka sophomore, is living with his brother in Lawrence.
Matt Medling, Lawrence junior, moved in with his parents.
Tom Fleming, Free State High School student has a house in Lawrence.
Hein said he and David Wolfe, Topeka sophomore, were planning to move into an apartment
together in March.
together in math.
"We're good friends and we all still hang out," he said. "Everybody's got their school books back, and professors have been helpful in getting things figured out."
The house at 1216 Ohio St. had no working smoke detectors, and Hein said he and the other residents had filed a complaint with their landlord, Ashley Funderburk.
Funderburk, who owns four other properties in Lawrence, declined to comment for this story.

Bill Towns, operations supervisor for KU Memorial Unions, said he thought that the new fitness center had drawn more students.
By Leah Shaffer
The Burge Union has seen an increase in traffic this year because of the opening of a new fitness center there last fall.
Kansan staff writer
The Burge center has replaced Robinson Center as the work-out destination of Julie Rogowski, Palatine, ill., sophomore. Rogowski said she preferred the Burge center
He said the number of people entering the Burge Union had dramatically increased compared to the previous year.
because of the newer equipment, access to television and music and daytime hours.
Julie Welsh, Overland Park senior, works at the center on Mondays and said it was always filled with students waiting to use the machines.
"I haven't been to Robinson since this opened," she said.
Rick Rosenstengle, associate director for facility management in recreation services, said the fitness center was a way to give something back to the students who had been paving a recreation fee.
"The equipment is definitely better." she said.
The center was also a place for them to test new equipment, which could be used in the new student
recreation center. Ground breaking for the new center is set for Friday, Apr.12.
Rosenstengle said the Burge center had 2,386 visits counted in January and the numbers were increasing. He said more than 75 percent of the users were freshman and sophomores and almost 80 percent of the users were women.
Rosenstengle said that Recreation Services had yet to determine whether it would keep the fitness center after the new one was built.
"If there's a need for it, we'll look into that," he said.

Q: How do you feel about the tuition increase?
"As long as the benefits actually help out the
students and help out the facilities that we have, that would be a lot better for the school. But if they are hiking up the cost just for their own good, just so they have more money, I don't think that's very good." Marcus Bush, Hoffman Estate, Ill, sonhomore

"I think it's good if it'is going to go towards pay for teachers because I think that there's a big problem with that, but other than that I really don't know what they'll use it for." Lauren Hardy, Manhattan, N.Y. sophomore.
"I think people come to KU because it's affordable and cheap,but if it's gonna be going up,they'll be putting it totally out of the price range of everybody. That's fair to students when we come here looking for a cheap, affordable in-state school and we're not getting it." Keith Park freshman

"If it's going to go towards helping out some sort of program or building or something we really need, then I say fine. I'm paying in-state, and I don't think it's high at all. Other people who are in-state at other states don't pay nearly what we do, and we have a beautiful
campus, and I think if it's going toward a program or something we really need, I have no opposition to that at all." Natalie Gervat Overland Park sophomore.
Q: How do you think the tuition increases will affect you?

CORRECTION
A pie chart in a graphic was mislabeled on the front page of Tuesday's Kansan. The chart showed responses to a question posed in a University of Kansas survey about state funding for education. The label indicated that survey respondents had been asked whether state spending on colleges and universities should increase, decrease or stay the same. The question asked in the survey was about state spending on kindergarten-through 12th-grade education.
Queers and Allies bill on Senate agenda
Kyle Browning, student body vice president, said the bill for $10,585 was an increase from last year's request for $5,300. Browning said the large amount of funding was normal for Pride Week.
Student Senate will have committee meetings at 6:30 tonight in the Kansas Union. The finance and multicultural affairs committees will hear a bill about KU Queers and Allies Pride Week in April.
Other issues committees will discuss:
■ An amendment to Student Senate Rules and Regulations that would no longer require all Senate-funded advertising materials to be in English.

$408 for cultural events for the KU German Club.

SUA sponsors artist who makes body casts
To start the University of Kansas' first "Celebrate Every Body" week, Student Union Activities is sponsoring Larry Kirkwood, an artist from Kansas City, Mo., whose art consists of body casts of men, women and children.
"What's really cool is that he takes a cast of the top part of your body," said Ann Chapman, dietitian at Watkins Memorial Health Center. "There are cast of nudes, of women who have had a mastectomy or pregnant women."
Lisa Thalhammer, fines arts coordinator of SUA, said the project would end with a forum in which Kirkwood would speak about body casts. It will be at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb.26, at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
A reception to end the gallery show will follow the lecture. It is free and open to the public."

Past chancellor visits lectures about career
Fred. C. Sturgeon
JILLIAN THORPE/KANSAN
Barbara Kelly, Lawrence resident, congratulates former University of Kansas chancellor Gene Budig after his lecture in Joseph R. Pearson Hall. Budig visited campus yesterday to sign copies of his new book, A Game of Uncommon Skill: Leading the Modern College and University.
By Mike Gilligan Kansan staff writer
Add former University of Kansas Chancellor Gene Budig to the list of people who want Drew Gooden to stay another year.
"Bob, I encourage you to graduate your athletes, one in particular," Budig said to Chancellor Robert Hemenway.
Budig, who was chancellor from 1981 to 1994, gave a lecture to more than 125 students, faculty and former colleagues yesterday afternoon in Joseph R. Pearson Hall.
Budig teaches a course on sports and the public trust in Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.
He was president of baseball's American League from 1994 until the post was abolished in 2000, and now serves as senior advisor to Bud Selig, commissioner of major league baseball.
The lecture focused on his new book, A Game of Uncommon Skill: Leading the Modern College and University. It was sponsored by the University, along with the School of Education and the School of Social Welfare.
Budig praised the schools at the beginning of his lecture.
"The staff in these schools have made the state of Kansas a better place," Budig said. "They've received national recognition for their work."
Budig spoke about his work as president of the American League and the correlation between owners of baseball teams and higher education.
Budig said owners would seek him out for advice on dealing with universities.
"The owners are not greedy
people," he said. "They donate money to universities for minority scholarships, school internships, and many other things."
The owners also encourage players to get involved in volunteer work and education, Budig said.
"Owners are like members of a university community," Budig said. "They enjoy heated debates in structured settings, they voice their opinions, and they are aware of and sensitive to minority concerns."
Budig said many major league teams encourage players to pursue their academic goals as well because a baseball career could be short.
Budig closed his lecture by giving advice to audience members interested in working in higher education.
"You should offer a clear vision and repeat your goals often," Budig said. "Never lose your appearance of inner confidence and enthusiasm, and don't forget students make the University."
Shanda Hurla, Eudora graduate student, said she attended the lecture because she is studying higher education administration.
"It was good to see his perspective on how baseball relates to higher education," she said. "I think he expressed a lot of challenges people faced and gave good advice."
As chancellor, Budig led KU through Campaign Kansas, a five-year fund drive that raised $265.3 million. He also led the effort to rebuild Hoch Auditorium after a fire. The building was renamed in his honor.

POINT-COUNTERPOINT
Should Kansas make it tougher to break up?
Divorce bill may help couples take marriage more seriously
For better or for worse, until death do us part. What happened to the meaning behind these sacred words, words that signify a man and a woman are making a life-long commitment to stay together no matter what circumstances come their way?
One Kansas senator still holds dear these words and is pushing a bill that would make it more difficult for couples to get a divorce. Bob Lyon, a Republican from Winchester, introduced a bill that would not allow couples with children to end a marriage without alleging some kind of wrongdoing by the spouse. His intention with the bill is to make it harder for one spouse to walk away from his or her parental responsibilities.
This bill could not have come at a more perfect time. According to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, 9,808 couples got divorced in Kansas in 2000. It estimates that 54 percent of those couples divorced were parents, meaning that about 5,300 families in Kansas were torn apart during the year 2000 because of divorce.
apart during the year 2000 because of This number is alarming because it shows not only did men and women endure the pain of divorce, but children also had to bear the grief right along side their parents.
The well-being and stability of families is at stake when divorce occurs. Children should be able to cling to their families in a world of school shootings and early-age peer pressure.
A study by Martin Richards of Cambridge University's Center for Family Research found that children whose parents are divorced perform poorer in school and demonstrate increased behavior problems than children whose parents have remained together.
Divorce is clearly physically and emotionally draining on everyone involved. With so many emotions at stake, a law making it harder for individuals to obtain a divorce would clearly be ideal.
Nine out of 10 people will marry, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. With that many people
wanting to try their hand at marriage, it is now more important than ever that people understand the effects of divorce for all who are involved.
A strong mentality has developed that the first marriage is simply a practice round. There is no such thing as practice when it comes
Bill aimed at protecting children could do more harm than good
Amy Potter for the editorial board.
Abill proposed by State Sen. Bob Lyon, R-Winchester, would make it harder for certain couples to get a divorce. However, his proposed changes may not have the desired effects. The current grounds for divorce are incompati-
and dealing
ings of other
individuals. Parents have
limited amount of
opportunities to
shape their chil-
children's lives. What
they choose to do
with those
opportunities
could ulti-
nately make
or break their
child.
Lyon's bill
would give
individuals a
dose of rea-
lity. Marriage
should be a
one-time con-
tract between
two individuals
that should not
be taken lightly. If
couples knew that
it might become
harder to obtain a
divorce, they might
think long and hard
before they decide to make a
marital commitment to another
failure to perform a material marital duty, and incompatibility due to mental illness or incapacity. Lyon would like to change these grounds, specifically in the case of marriages where dependent children are involved.
"The existing statute permits one spouse to unilaterally walk away from a fundamental human commitment." Lyon told the Associated Press in January. "It has inadvertently subverted the idea of marital permanence."
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment reported that from 1995 to 2000, 54 percent of divorces involved minors. Lyon's bill is designed to "provide greater protection to the children of divorce by restricting the ability of one's spouse to walk away from their parental responsibility." The new bill, Senate Bill 173, would not change
their parental responsibility."
The new bill, Senate Bill 173, would not change the grounds for divorce for couples without
greater protection to the children of divorce by restricting the
dependent children.
However, couples with dependent children would be required to meet one of nine new grounds: gross neglect of marital duty, incompatibility due to mental illness, incompatibility due to impotency, adultery, pregnancy by the wife by a person other than the husband, extreme cruelty, habitual use of alcohol or a controlled substance, abandonment for one or more years, and conviction and imprisonment for a felony during the marriage. The bill requires proof by two of three physicians in the case of mental illness.
While the bill proposes to make divorce more difficult, it may actually make divorce harder on the children it is meant to protect. Children may be forced to live in an unhealthy environment due to parental conflict and an unwillingness to assign fault.
Cases of extreme cruelty may also be hard to prove, creating expensive and lengthy cases, said Linda Elrod, a Washburn University law professor and opponent of the legislation.
Anyone who is determined to get a divorce may not be put off by the new sanctions. They may see assigning fault as just another step in the procedure.
procedure. The exact meaning of the terms used in the bill to describe the possible grounds of divorce could be left open for interpretation; for example, the idea of what defines a marital duty could be stretched to guarantee a divorce.
While Lyon's bill proposes to make divorce more difficult in order to protect children, the bill may actually harm children. That is, of course, if the bill is even effective in making a divorce harder at all for couples with dependent children.

PERSPECTIVE
'Kansan' should keep pushing, but must ensure accuracy
You probably saw it. You know what I'm talking about. A biting opinion column printed last week about a certain University of Kansas men's basketball coach
READERS' REPRESENTATIVE
What's left to say?
Kansas men's basketball Reaction to the column was swift. Basketball fans denounced the Daily Kansan. A clarification was published. Stories were written. The column's factual omissions and stance were discussed at length.
Clay McCuistion cmccuistion@kansan.com
The answer lies in the structure of the newspaper itself.
Not much about the column's specifics, certainly. But wider, much more important questions remain. How did the Kansan come to publish the piece? How could it make its way through multiple layers of editing?
newspaper issue Traditionally, the Kansan has separate news and editorial staffs. That means that journalism students produce most news content — while a wide array of students from throughout campus write for the opinion page.
write for the Open At professional newspapers, Kansan news adviser Malcolm Gibson said, the situation is different.
situation is uneven. "You don't become a columnist at a newspaper until you've proven yourself a great reporter," Gibson said. "That's how it works."
But the Kansan makes a trade-off. The writing of non-journalism students
allows the editorial page to reflect a wide spectrum of opinions. But it obviously has drawbacks when it comes time to report, dig and research.

sand. But more instruction is clearly needed.
facts and information, work remains. And it's not work that opinion writers can do themselves.
Ultimately, the paper's leaders must ensure accuracy and credibility. They can't simply expect opinion columns to be accurate and ignore them.
"The editors have to question columns that come in." Gibson said.
Phelps said she might have done more to avoid the brouhaha.
"I could have been more demanding." Phelps said. "I assumed that all the bases were covered."
But Kansan columnists shouldn't be scared off by last week's unpleasantness. The KU sports program is the University's sacred cow. Newspapers and their columnists should poke and prod those sacred cows, making sure they're really that sacred.
that sacred.
Columnists and their editors should take last week's column and the reaction to it as a challenge to do better work — and to keep pushing. You, the reader, can't be informed about campus issues if the Kansan holds back out of fear.
But the Kansan must be informed. The Kansan's reporting must be solid.

Statewide poetry readings continue Hughes celebrations
The Associated Press
LAWRENCE — Poetry circles will start soon in five Kansas cities as part of a celebration marking the 100th birthday of Harlem Renaissance poet Langston Hughes.
Hughes was born in Joplin, Mo., on Feb. 1, 1902, but spent most of his childhood in Lawrence. He wrote everything from poems — for which he is most remembered — to novels, newspaper stories, plays and short fiction.
The city of Lawrence and the University of Kansas marked the anniversary of Hughes' birth with readings, performances and discussions. The highlight of the celebration was an international symposium
Feb. 7-10.
The poetry circle project,
"Reading and Remembering Langston Hughes" is scheduled to start Feb. 24 in Norton and Feb. 25 in Hays, Independence, Iola and Topea. It's funded with a $6,600 grant from the Kansas Humanities Council.
"Our ultimate goal is to encourage participants to reflect on different kinds of literature and, we hope, to involve them in discussions about how literature shapes and transforms their lives," said John Edgar Tidwell, associate professor of English and project director.
"We hope these Kansas circles will become the basis for a national model that will expand the circles throughout the United States," he said.
Planners were surprised at the turnout when Lawrence tested the poetry circles in October and November. More than 50 people signed up, which forced planners to divide the group in half and have two separate sessions.
Humanities scholars from colleges and universities around the state and the Kansas City area will lead the circles.
Participants in the discussion groups will read four books by Hughes: Not Without Laughter, a fictionalized account of his childhood in Lawrence; The Best of Simple, a series of character sketches in prose; The Big Sea, the first of his two autobiographies; and The Collected Poems.
Ashcroft defends war, speaks of God
The Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Attorney General John Ashcroft said the nation's war on terrorism was being waged against those who used the guise of religion to destroy what he called God's gift of freedom.
- In an address to the National Religious Broadcasters yesterday that was steeped in Christianity and included a passage from the Bible, Ashcroft justified the war by portraying the nation as a guardian of freedom, which he said only God can grant and revoke.
"Our enemies hope that by portraying this as a religious conflict, they can disguise their own betrayal of religion," said Ashcroft, standing on a stage bathed in red and blue light, with a video of a fluttering flag projected behind him.
"They hope that by calling America 'the aggressor,' they can conceal their own lust for power and control. They hope that by
"Our enemies hope that by portraying this as a religious conflict, they can disguise their own betrayal of religion."
John Ashcroft U.S. Attorney general
denying America's tolerance and humanity, they can convince the world that they — not we — are intolerant."
The address drew thousands of the more than 5,800 who registered to attend the four-day conference at the Gaylord Opryland hotel.
Randy Jumper, 27, an Assemblies of God minister from Springfield, Mo., said the address helped him define his role in the war.
"We're not fighting a religious war. We're fighting a freedom war." he said. "As an American,
I am called to guard freedom all around the world."
Ashcroft, a lay minister and son of a Pentecostal preacher, is a conservative Christian who has been accused of giving religion too prominent a role at the Justice Department including optional prayer meetings with staff before each work day.
In his speech, Ashcroft said the nation's war on terrorism was a "defense of our freedom in the most profound sense. It is the defense of our right to make moral choices, to seek fellowship with God that is chosen and not commanded."
He referred to Deuteronomy 30:19, "I call heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Choose life so that you and your descendants may live, loving the Lord your God..."

SARA SHEPHERD/KANSAN
Lawrence junior and self-described army brat Stephen Duncan has grown up in multiple states in the U.S. as well as several European countries. Duncan is also the president of Liberty Hawks, KU's Libertarian student organization.
Army brat calls Lawrence home
By Adam Pracht
Kansan staff writer
While other students posted their names and hometowns on their residence hall doors, Stephen Duncan Jr. put only "APO-AE," which stands for American Post Offices-Armed forces in Europe.
"That's always the most complicated question I'm ever asked, is 'Where are you from?' " he said
Stephen Duncan Jr. said he grew up as an "army brat," a child who travels with a military parent from one post to the next. His father was a career soldier in military intelligence.
Duncan Born in Fort Watuka, Ariz. His father was then transferred to Fort Hood, Texas. After returning to Arizona briefly, his family moved to Germany when he was 4 years old. When Duncan was 6 , the family came back to the United States at Fort Polk La. He spent his middle-school years in Fort Leavenworth. His four years of high school were split between Fort Hood, Texas, and a
school near the NATO headquarters for Europe based in Belgium. He graduated from high school as valedictorian with a 4.4 weighted grade point
grade point average.
When he has to give a hometown, Duncan.
Faces in the Crowd
now a junior, usually says he's from Lawrence.
He said that he has come to accept not having a permanent place to call home.
"I've gotten used to the idea that where you are doesn't matter, but what people you're with," Duncan said. "I think that all places seem pretty much the same to me."
Stephen Duncan Jr.'s parents, Stephen Duncan Sr. and Tammy Duncan, said that while his life as an army brat may have increased his natural shyness, it allowed him to experience other cultures.
"It never seemed to affect him in a bad way, although it usually does take him a while to make friends," the elder Duncan said.
"I think he enjoyed the experiences that he had."
"Even though we don't necessarily agree with everything he believes in," Tammy said, "It's refreshing to see that he is thinking about the world."
Stephen Duncan Jr. said his parents had supported him nonetheless.
The younger Duncan said that those experiences had given him an open mind. That openness brought him to consider his position on politics. He is president of Liberty Hawks, a University of Kansas student organization started last semester. The group supports the political platform of the Libertarian party, which Duncan said advocated personal liberty and restricted government.
"In my family, it's always been encouraged to think on your own," he said.

Team ready for storybook season
By Ali Brox
Kansan sportswriter
With 15 letter winners, eight returning starters and the entire pitching staff coming back, the Kansas softball team seems poised for a storybook season.
The team is ready, with an actual book in the locker room. The Jayhawks are recording their season as they go.
They had T-shirts printed that say, "What story will you tell?"
"We're trying to write a story," senior third baseman Megan Urquhart said. "It's a year we're all going to remember. We do have high expectations because we do want this story to be great, and we feel like it is going to be great."
Kansas wrote the first chapter of its story on the way to the airport for the Fiesta Bowl Classic in Phoenix. The Jayhawks finished 3-2 at the Classic, including victories against No. 17 Southwest Texas and No. 6 Arizona State.
"We have eight seniors who are leading by great example this year," coach Tracy Bunge said. "We're going to have, I think, a season to remember. We're calling it a storybook season."
Kansas used a team retreat to Prairie Star Ranch before the season to decide on its goals. In a preseason poll, the Big 12 Conference coaches picked Kansas to finish fourth in the conference,
but the Jayhawks have higher expectations and think they can contend for the Big 12 title.
Bunge said the team had the potential to win the Big 12 title. "This group is as driven as any group that I've ever had as far as their work ethic. They're fun to coach everyday. They're not about winning or losing, they're actually about improving every day, and I love that as a coach. And that is going to get us where we want to go," she said.
With eight seniors, Kansas is experienced. Seniors Urquhart and outfielder Shelly Musser were elected as co-captains by their teammates.
"I feel like, with eight seniors, we're all kind of leaders within ourselves," Urquhart said. "And we know how to take care of business."
The team has great chemistry both on and off the field.
"We're very close," Musser said. "It's really exciting to know what we can do in our last year."
Statistics indicate that the Jayhawks shouldn't have any problems taking care of business. Six players on this year's roster received All-Big 12 honors last season — senior second baseman Amy Hulse, centerfielder Shelly Musser, senior shortstop Courtney Wright, senior catcher/outfielder Leah Tabb, senior third baseman Megan Urquhart and
sophomore pitcher Kara Pierce, who was chosen as the conference freshman of the year last year.
Pierce is expected to pick up where she left off last season.
"She's able to make the ball move in four directions," Bunge said. "Our expectation is that she continue to do what she did really well last year. We're expecting her to pick right where she left off and to continue to improve."
Bunge said Urquhart would be a big part of the team based on her play last season. "Megan had probably our most solid seasons for us overall between offense and defense. She was an offensive key for us. She was the solidifying point on the infield for us as well. I think she's the best third baseman in the conference."
The Jayhawks have also added two new recruits to the roster, freshmen first baseman/outfielder Lindsey Weinstein and infielder Serena Settlemier. Bunge said the freshmen had had mixed starts to the season, playing like upperclassmen on some days and like freshmen on others.
Weinstein said playing on a team full of seniors was comforting for a newcomer.
"The chemistry of the team makes the transition so much easier," Weinstein said. "I'm learning from them each day in practice and off the field."
The seniors remember what it felt like last season when the NCAA selection committee told Kansas its season was over before the players we're ready for it to end.
"Other teams thought we were going to make it also," Urquhart said. "And we were all shocked when we didn't. At that point last season we were not ready to end our season. We're not going to let it happen again."
The team doesn't want to leave this year's postseason hopes in the hands of someone else by taking care of business and beating tough opponents.
"If we win a few of those and take care of the rest of the season and beat the people we should beat, we're going to be in position," Bunge said. "Whether we win the Big 12 or not, to be in the postseason and make some noise in the postseason, that's this team's goal."
Kansas defeated some highly ranked teams in Arizona, but faltered a bit in its second tournament of the season in Las Vegas. Now the Jayhawks must regroup and prepare for the Florida State Invitational in Tallahassee, Fla., March 1-3.

Hard-working reserves make splendid season even better
Forget Kirk Hinrich. Forget Jeff Boschee.
If Roy Williams ever needs anyone off his bench to make a big free throw during the remainder of the season, he might give Chris Zerbe the nod.
Zerbe isn't known for his outstanding free-throw shooting like Boschee or Hinrich. But on Monday night, he hit the most pressure-packed shot of the evening.
With 49 seconds to go in the game and Kansas leading 99-62, Zerbe was fouled by Justin Fries and landed hard on his hip. Zerbe hobbled to the free-throw line and sank the first charity shot, allowing the Jayhawks to break the magical 100-point barrier for the ninth time this season, a school record.
The free throw came at a meaningless point in the game, but it provoked one of the loudest cheers of the night.
Not because the Jayhawks clinched their first Big 12 Conference title since 1998.
If I hadn't sat on press row during the game, I probably would have cheered. too

Not because Kansas junior forward Drew Gooden tightened his hold on the Big 12 Player of Year award and a first team All-America selection.
Kansas forward Wayne Simien and guard Jeff Boschee attempt to block a shot by Iowa's Jake Sullivan. Kansas' defense has gained attention lately for it's key role in the team's success.
Not even that the Hawks held Iowa State's top three scorers — forward Tyray Pearson and guards Jake Sullivan and Shane Power - to 10-of-30 shooting from the field.
No, I would have cheered because, along with the rest of the Allen Fieldhouse crowd, I enjoy watching seldom used players like Zerbe play well.
I liked seeing members of the Kansas scout team contribute to the Jayhawks' winning effort.
I know it sounds corny and kind of cheesy. But to me, the last five minutes of the game were what collegiate athletics are all about.
These guys work as hard in practice as Gooden, Collison, Hinrich and the rest of Kansas' top players. Whether they were recruited by Williams or successfully fulfilled a dream by walking on to the program, the members of the scout team quietly go about their role.
Watching Brett Ballard, Chris Zerbe, Lewis Harrison, Todd Kappelmann Michael Lee and Bryant Nash help the Jayhawks reach the magical 100-point mark was fun to see.
Watching the reactions of players from the Jayhawk bench was just as enjoyable. Every player, led by Gooden, stood up and cheered on his teammates. It was like a scene out of Hoosiers.
They will never get the media coverage that the starters do or sign a thousand autographs after games, but their contributions don't go unnoticed.
I've watched a lot of Kansas basketball during my lifetime. I've witnessed big wins, such as Paul Pierce's performance in the 1998 senior game against Oklahoma. I've seen disappointing losses, like the loss to Arizona in the 1997 NCAA tournament. And there have been great moments, including the team's incredible run to the Final Four in 1991.
Still, Monday's game will rank right up there with them. It's something special to see a Kansas basketball game in Allen Fieldhouse. But it's even more special when you realize the cheering only stops after the final horn sounds.

Defensive skills shine
By Brent Wasko
Kansan sportswriter
College basketball coaches rarely are fully satisfied with the play of their teams, but Kansas coach Roy Williams hasn't had much to complain about lately.
The Jayhawks, who are 24-2 overall and 13-0 in the Big 12 Conference, are known for their high-scoring offense. But it has been the team's defense that has stolen the show in recent games leaving opposing players wondering whether Kansas truly has any weaknesses.
While Kansas has remained strong offensively most of the season, Williams has continually harped his team to improve its play on defense. The players have responded.
With the team's leading scorer, junior forward Drew Gooden, sick with the flu, Kansas struggled more than normal to score points Saturday against Baylor. The defense stepped up, holding the Bears to 72 points and enabling the Jayhawks to win by 15.
Against Iowa State, Kansas was impressive on offense, scoring more than 100 points for a school-record ninth straight time this season, but the team didn't need that kind of production to beat the Cyclones. The defense played plenty well enough to win. The Cyclones managed to make to just 42.6 percent of their shots from the field.
One might assume Williams would have talked about his team's dominant offense after the game, but instead, he raved about the Jayhawks' defense, which held the Cyclones to 25 points in the first half.
"We made them struggle," Williams said. "They got a couple of rebounds and put-backs, but other than that, I thought our defense was really good, especially in the first half. I honestly
believe the respect we have for them made our guys really ready to play, especially on the defensive end."
The Jayhawks' marked improvement
defensively was evident by how differently the squad matched up against Iowa State on Monday as opposed to the teams' first meeting this season in
Ames, Iowa. The Cyclones came close to shocking Kansas in that contest but

Hockey team improving
By Stephanie Goettsch Kansan sportswriter
When eight Minnesotans came to the University of Kansas they wanted to bring the sport of their home state to Kansas.
The group formed the nucleus of a ramshackle team three years ago and have since steadily improved the Kansas men's club hockey team.
"We're still in the production stage," club president and captain Brian Luhman said. "Now we're finally sponsored by the University, and we're actually playing real teams."
"Up north, when you start walking, they strap a pair of skates on you too," Luhman said with a smile. "I've been playing since I was three. My dad was a coach, so I always went to practice and skated around with the older kids."
Luhman, a junior from Eden Prairie, Minn., took the reigns of the team three years ago and is no stranger to the sport.
"We picked up a lot of good Minnesota freshman this year," said Luhman.
Eight out of 21 players on the team are from Minnesota.
These newcomers provide the core of the team, along with seven players from Kansas.
"I started playing ice hockey when they built a rink in Wichita." Andover junior David Hiebsch said.
A lack of available rinks is one standard problem teams in the Midwest face. Because of the inconvenience, people are less likely to get involved.
"One of our biggest issues is scheduling. It's hard to get ice time and find teams to play," said Luhman. "We have to travel to Kansas City to practice, and that's especially hard on kids who want to play. They may not have dedication or means to drive to Kansas City all the time."
"It's a sport that requires constant repetition and practice," said Jeff Engel, St. Louis junior.
Team captain Luhman said that the Lawrence area would need a rink if the team was going to improve its level of play.
Despite problems, the team has made big strides in the last few years.
Kansas men's club hockey schedule
In its most recent win, Kansas defeated Metro State University, Denver, Colo., 7-2
■ Feb. 22 — Southwest Missouri State, 9:15 p.m., at Ice Sports in Shawnee Mission
■ March 1 — at Tulsa
■ March 2 — at Tulsa
■ March 8 — at Nebraska
■ March 9 — at Nebraska
and 8-5 last December. The team concluded last season with a 7-7 record which gained it notoriety with other teams.
"Nebraska called and wanted to play us because they heard from Metro State that we were good," said Luhman. "And the coaches from Tula called since we beat Southwest Missouri State."
The Kansas men will meet Southwest Missouri State again at 9:15 p.m. Friday at Ice Sports, Shawnee Mission.
"We're pretty confident about this upcoming game," said Matt Davis, Topeka sophomore. "We have better overall skills than them, in scoring and speed. They have a really organized program though, and may have improved, so we'll see."

OLYMPICS IN BRIEF
FIGURE SKATING
Kwan takes lead in short program
SALT LAKE CITY Michelle Kwan's pursuit of the total Olympic experience is carrying over to the ice.
Looking cool and relaxed, Kwan edged main rival Irina Slutskaya to lead the short program with 12 skaters remaining last night. None of those competitors was likely to change the standings, which had Americans Sasha Cohen and Sarah Hughes in third and fourth.
"I felt really calm out there." Kwan said.
"I am well prepared, in good shape, healthy. You've just got to feel you are fortunate already, before the start of the program. What I have done, no regrets. Just go out and have fun."
Kwan, the 1998 silver medalist who now regrets not spending more time at the Nagano Games, has been in Salt Lake City from the outset of these Olympics.
WOMEN'S BOBSLED
PARK CITY, Utah The U.S. bobsled team no one knew about certainly made a name for itself and history.
Jill Bakken and Vonetta Flowers stunned the field last night, winning the gold medal in the inaugural women's Olympic bobsled race and breaking a 46-year drought in the sport for the United States.
In the end, though, it was the USA-2 team that had the fastest combined time in the two runs, 1 minute, 37.76 seconds.
SPEEDSKATING
KEARNS, Utah — Derek Parra carried a different banner yesterday, wrapping himself in a faded American flag that symbolized his unlikely journey and all the people who helped him reach the top of the Olympic medal stand.
Parra won a speedskating gold medal with a world record in the 1,500 meters.

Tough Greene helps Grammys
The Associated Press
SANTA MONICA, Calif. — C. Michael Greene, the head of the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, says it was his aggressive style during the last 16 years that had boosted earnings from the Grammy Awards program from $700,000 to nearly $32 million per year, and expanded the academy's membership from about 3,200 to more than 20,000 music professionals.
He admits to some hotheadedness, but argues that's part of being a strong businessman.
"I will not allow anybody, I don't care who it is, to do anything that breaks precedent with what this organization stands for," he says, flashing a devilish smile during an interview in his
office. "And when they do, I'm the meanest sore-toothed, saber-toothed tiger in the world."
He adds, "I'm not here to make myself look good."
Greene is influential in determining what the organization will stand for on issues such as copyright protection, Internet piracy and artists' rights, which can place him at odds with legislators, record company executives and music fans — even though he may be aligned with the same people on other issues.
He has overseen the birth of the Latin Grammys and the Music-Cares charity, which raises money for aging, poor musicians and drug-abuse treatment. He also started the Grammy Foundation, dedicated to preserving deteriorating recordings and cre
"I'm not here to make myself look good."

ating music education programs for children, such as the Leonard Bernstein Center for Learning.
Greene is credited with expanding the breadth of the Grammy Awards to include rap, alternative and heavy-metal. Under his stewardship, the Grammy list has grown from 68 categories in 1986 to 101 this year.
He says he encouraged the organization to consider more cutting-edge performers like Radiohead and Eminem for top prizes.

"LUCK OF THE DRAW!"
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7.
You're starting to get restless again,
don't rush into anything. There may be a
couple of lessons from your recent
experience that you haven't figured out.
There's also a roadblock you may not
have discovered yet.
raurs (April 20-May 20) Today is a day.
If you keep asking for money, you're liable to get it, but don't offer to do more work. It's about time you got paid what you're worth.
Can you imagine yourself taking on a do-it-yourself project? Renovating a room, perhaps? That would be the perfect project for you this year. Either that, or moving. Make your reality fit your dreams.
Today's Birthday (Feb. 20).
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a f.
It's up to you to convince the powers that be. What is it you want? More money? Fame? Fortune? An office with a view? You'll do it with fantasy, facts and figures - not necessarily in that order.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 7.
You have a great team backing you up.
Today, they'll get to do most of the work.
You can sit back and direct the operation.
Listen to their suggestions, of course.
They'll keep you from spending too much.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7. Take a moment to contemplate what you've been through recently. Take a few notes. They'll come in handy.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 6.
Oops! Somebody threw out the anchor.
Looks like you get to explain what you've been doing, and why. Don't forget any details, and you'll do fine.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is an B.
Put travel plans on hold. Friday will be
better for that, and for mailing pack-
ages. Save your trouble by scheduling
errands for then. Meanwhile, relax.
HOROSCOPES
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is 7.
The financing you want is available, and it could go a long way toward solving an old problem. Can you afford not to do something you've long contemplated?
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 7.
Now you see why it's good to take on a big project with a friend. It's a lot more fun than doing it all by yourself. Let somebody else make the phone calls to find something that both of you want.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 7.
The workload is increasing again, and so is your income. Old methods need to be renovated as you take on new challenges. Try something beyond your old limits.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 7.
You should be feeling better, but don't
overdo it. Things won't go as smoothly
as you hoped. The main thing to avoid is
hurting a sensitive person's feelings. It
would not only be rude, but it could cost
you money and love.
Third-place finish opens women's golf season
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 7.
You're strong, but you're encountering resistance. Somebody is arguing with you instead of just doing what you want.
This person generally does. Hold out for what's most important and let the rest go.
By Ryan Greene Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's golf team capped off its first tournament of the spring yesterday in impressive style.
In the 15-team field at the Islander Invitational in Corpus Christi, Texas, the Jayhawks finished in third place, one stroke ahead of Kansas State.
Junior jill MacDonald led the Kansas charge, finishing in ninth place with a three-round score of 239.
"I am extremely happy for our team," coach Nicole Hollingsworth said. "This is the first time all five golfers shot in the 70s, which is a huge step for Kansas golf. I am pleased with how we came back after the first round to finish third."
"I think that the team really pulled together. We knew what we had to do." MacDonald said. "We finished strong, which I think is the most important thing. I think this is a glimpse of what
Kansas golf will be this spring."
Sophomore Jennifer Bawanan finished in a tie for 174th place with a total score of 242, while junior Heather Rose recorded a total of 244 on her way to tying for 20th place.
20th place Junior Kristy Straub shot a 249,
which was good for a tie in 251st
place, and sophomore Tegan
Thornberry tied for 57th place
with a total of 280.
Junior Tiffany Kruggel capped off the tournament for the Jayhawks with a career-best round score of one-under-par 71.
"I am really excited about how I shot in the final round." Kruggel said. "I just hope that it is a start of something great for our team in the upcoming months."
The team will play again on Monday in Pinehurst, N.C., in the Carolinas Collegiate Classic.

couldn't pull off the upset, losing to the lahawks, 88-81.
Williams said his team made adjustments that helped shut down the Iowa State attack.
Iowa State sophomore guard Jake Sullivan and sophomore forward Shane Power exploded for a combined 42 points against the Jayhawks on Jan. 23., but the Jayhawks held them to a combined 25 points on Monday.
"We played our defense better than we did up at their place." Williams said. "We tried to stay on the floor against Power and Sullivan, because they have great shot fakes and then they penetrate and lean in. They get you up in the air and suddenly they're at
the free throw line. We tried to get closer to Sullivan so he wouldn't be able to get up a three-point shot."
Until recently, the Jayhawks defense had been somewhat lackluster. Kansas ranks second to last in the Big 12 in points allowed, giving up an average of 75.3 points per game. Only Colorado's 77.5 average is worse.
Kansas opponents score a lot of points, but they generally don't shoot the ball well. The Jayhawks rank second in the Big 12 in defensive field goal percentage. Opponents make just 40.9 percent of their shots against Kansas.
Kansas will hit the road to face Nebraska this Sunday at 3 p.m.

Speed, ability to steal bases may improve overall offense
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
When asked in preseason about the offensive strength on the Kansas baseball team this year, coach Bobby Randall's eyes lit up.
"We've got a lot of speed," he said with a smile.
It seems funny, considering the 4-0 Jayhawks have stolen only two bases this season. In the absence of speed, the power has taken over. The team has hit 20 extra-base hits, including seven home runs.
Still, Randall said he thought the running game would come around in time. Despite losing shortstop John Nelson, who stole 95 bases in his career, to the professional ranks, this year's squad might be the fastest one in recent memory.
Juniors Jason Appuhn and Casey Spanish both return after strong sophomore campaigns a year ago. Appuhn, an outfielder, stole 23 bases in 2001, while Spanish, this year's shortstop, stole 13 bases in 17 attempts.
"It opens up the game, if we have somebody that can steal bases," Spanish said. "The pitchers will worry about it, and it'll do positive things for the hitter, if they're worrying about the runner. It opens up our whole offensive game, and this year that's what we're going to have to do."
Of the eight position players slated to start this season, third baseman Ryan Klocksien is the lone senior. The two-time All Big-12 Conference selection is coming off of a solid junior campaign, batting .321 with four home runs and 37 RBL Still, his .351 average as a sophomore made last year's performance bittersweet.
Despite Klocksien's slight decline, Randall said he expected Klocksien, the team's top returning offensive threat, to rebound. So far, the team is proving that Randall's hunch was right. In Saturday's 17-3 rout of Centenary, Klocksien went 4-for-5 with five RBI.
"I like to get better each year, and maybe I took a step back last year compared to my sophomore year," he said.
"Nobody works harder on their hitting than Ryan," he said. "He's expecting a big year, and he's prepared for it. I know that."
The only infield position lacking experience is behind the plate. With Brent Del Chiaro off to the minor leagues, Randall is counting on a junior college transfer and a freshman to handle the bulk of the catching responsibilities.
Freshman Cole Armstrong, a native of Canada, and junior Beau
Thompson, a transfer from Westark Community College in Arkansas, will both see significant action this upcoming season.
"I see them playing about 50-50," Randall said. "The great thing about it is that Cole is left-handed, and Beau is right-handed. They'll both play a lot."
Armstrong was a member of the Canadian junior national team, and was drafted by the New York Mets out of high school.
"Both of them are good defensive players who know how to handle a pitching staff," Randall added.
The undefeated Jayhawks hope to continue their winning ways today at 3 p.m., with a game against Kansas-Newman at Hoglund Ballpark. Today's game marks the start of a long home stand. The Jayhawks will play 11 of their next 12 games at Hoglund Ballpark, leading up to the Mar. 8 conference opener against Texas A&M.
"It'll take a pretty good team to beat us if we're playing our game," Klocksien said.

Softball team hopes to build on last year's success
Bv Ali Brox
Kansan sportswriter
After sending three teams — Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas Tech — to the NCAA Regionals and sending Oklahoma to the Women's College World Series, the Big 12 Conference appears to be tough again this season.
Kansas, which finished the 2001 season with a 32-27 record, was picked to finish fourth behind Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas in the Big 12 Conference Preseason Coaches Poll.
"The Big 12 Conference is going to be unbelievably tough this year," coach Tracy Bunge
Kansas opened some eyes in the league last season when the team finished with a tie for third after being picked in the preseason to finish ninth. This year, the Jayhawks think they deserve to be ranked higher in the preseason poll.
"I think they have a lot of their tradition and reputation getting them into the top, which they well deserve, but we know what we have and what we can do," senior outfielder Shelly Musser said of the three
said. "I think anybody on a given day will be right there, and that's what I love about our conference."
The layhawks entered most of their games last season with limited expectations. They think some teams will underestimate this year as well.
teams ranked ahead of Kansas.
"If we play the way we believe we can, we're going to be right up there at the top with everybody else."
"Last year we were the underdogs, and we were ranked obviously lower than we should have been," senior third baseman Megan Urquhart said. "I still feel like being ranked fourth we're still a little bit of the underdogs because it just tells me we didn't earn the respect we should have
last year."
Regardless, this year's expectations are definitely different from last year.
"It's an extremely different feel. I think last year the only expectations were of ourselves on ourselves. Now everybody's talking about it," Bunge said. "The expectation is we're going to have a good year. We feel like we're going to compete for the Big 12 title this year."

by Ryan Wood
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas baseball team's offense is looking solid and ready to go, but the weak spot could be inexperience in the pitching staff.
The loss of Pete Smart to the pros, the workhorse of the 2001 team, has left coach Bobby Randall searching for a leader on the mound.
"That's the million-dollar question." Randall said. "The answer is, I don't know if one guy is going to be able to replace Pete at the level that he pitched. We have seven or eight guys, and I think everyone of them will have to replace Pete's innings. The arms are there. I think they're unproven at this point. I don't think they're untalented. I'd rather have talent with no experience than experience and no talent."
Other seniors ready to make an impact on the mound include Jake Wright, Randy Strann and Dan Olson. Olson is recovering from elbow troubles, which limited his effectiveness during most of his junior campaign. He has responded nicely so far this year, earning two victories in as many starts and posting a 2.25 ERA.
Senior Jeff Davis, appears ready to assume responsibility as staff ace. The control pitcher went 2-2 last year with a 4.24 ERA, and has only walked eight batters in the last two seasons.
"This is the best shape I've ever been in, arm-wise and body-wise," Davis said. "This is the most preparation I've ever put into a season. I feel like I've done everything I can."
.
In his only start this year, Davis shut down Centenary last Friday, striking out nine and giving up one run for the complete game victory.
"The job that Jeff Davis did on Friday night was extraordinary," Randall said.
"I'm very excited about Dan Olson." Randall said. "He's

DEA raises classification on hemp food
By Maggie Koerth
Kansan staff writer
Nobody's going to get high on hemp waffles.
But beginning March 18, many foods that contain hemp will be classified as schedule-one controlled substances.
According to the Drug Enforcement Administration, www.usdoj.gov/dea, some hemp products contain some amount of tetrahydrocannabinols or THC, which causes marijuana's psychoactive effect. Because hemp foods cause THC to enter the body, those foods are illegal. DEA officials said.
The ban on hemp food products began last October when the DEA announced rules to clarify the products' legal status.
Companies that make hemp foods and stores that sell them have until March 18 to test the products and dispose of supplies that do contain THC, the DEA rules said.
Hemp was grown as a cash crop in the United States and was used to make paper, rope and cloth until it was banned in the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act. Production of hemp resumed during World War II to aid the war effort, but after the war, production ended in the United States. Federal law permits importation of hemp fiber, sterilized seeds and ingestible hemp-based products containing no THC.
According to the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, www.norml.org, U.S. retailers and manufacturers each year import about 1.9
million pounds of hemp fiber, 450.000 pounds of hemp seeds and 351 pounds of hemp seed oil from Canada and other nations that regulate hemp farming.
Laurell Matthews, grocery manager at the Community Mercantile, 901 Iowa St., said the new ban had not affected what the store sold.
"That ban only applies to products that have THC in them and not all hemp foods do," she said.
Matthews said most of the hemp products at the Merc didn't contain THC. The store has taken a few products off its shelves, but most of the product changes were made by its distributor.
"The warehouses we order from had to get rid of products with THC back in November," she said. "They sent us a list of products that had passed THC tests, and we've just been ordering those."
However, Matthews said hemp foods with THC in them wouldn't make anybody high.
Amity Zupancic, Dodge City senior, said she was upset about the ban. She said eating hemp seeds had been beneficial to her.
"I've been eating them for a while to get rid of cramps," she said.
In the meantime, hemp waffle lovers need not despair. Matthews said the Merc would continue to carry Lifestream Hemp Plus Waffles, a brand that she said contains no THC.

Researchers leaving KU Med for Vanderbilt
By Summer Lewis Kansan staff writer
Two distinguished professors at the University of Kansas Medical Center have decided to leave at the end of this school year to take research positions at Vanderbilt University.
S. K. Dey, a leading researcher of reproductive biology, has been a faculty member at KU Med for 29 years. His research has received funding from the National Institutes of Health for 22 years; that funding will follow him to Vanderbilt.
Dey said the decision to leave was hard for him, but his research would be easier
with all that Vanderbilt had to offer.
"I have a long-standing collaboration with several investigators at Vanderbilt," he said. "I believe that our research program will excel at a higher level if we could be physically located with our collaborators on the same campus. The critical mass of scientists, infrastructure, support systems and hope of fulfilling my next level of research aspirations lured me to Vanderbilt after so many years at KU."
Also leaving is Billy Hudson, chair of biochemistry and molecular biology

Georg Hackl of Germany was going for his fourth consecutive gold medal in the luge, and Carina Staudemeyer wanted to make sure she was able to watch his race with her fellow German friends.
Staudemeyer, Dortmund, Germany, junior, threw a Winter Olympics party last Sunday at her house. She said she invited about 20 friends — including friends from Germany and France — to watch the luge competition. Hackl won a silver medal for the Germans.
Olympics fans Erick Axcell, Lawrence sophomore, left, and Eric Wagner Lawrence resident, watch figure skating at JB Stouts Sports Bar, 721 Wakarusa Dr. Many people enjoy going out to enjoy drinks and a large screen with their Olympics.
Staudemeyer said she wanted to watch Hackl because he had won the gold medal in the luge for Germany for the past three Olympics. At the party, she and her friends celebrated their German culture with bratwurst and beer.
"We had a lot of fun," Staudemeyer said. "It was really nice to see all the athletes."
"It was more like an Oktoberfest," Staudemeyer said, referring to the annual German festival.
Staudemeyer said she kept up with all the Olympic action involving Germany, even after her party.
"We try all the time to keep in touch with our sports guys," Staudemeyer said.
The only thing Staudemeyer said she didn't like about watching the Olympics in Kansas was having to watch taped events instead of live ones. She said she would call friends in Germany, and they knew results before she did because they watched it live.
Eric McMillian, Scottsdale, Ariz., freshman, said he'd been watching the Winter Olympics about 30 minutes each night, despite the fact that most of his friends were not interested in them. He said he liked to watch snow boarding, skiing and hockey competitions.
"It's the only thing on," McMillian said. "It's entertaining, but they show the wrong sports. Figure skating is on too much."
But not everybody stays home to watch the Olympics. Lawrence sports bars and restaurants tuned televisions to the games.
Shannon Norwood, general manager of Molly McGee's, 2429 Iowa St., said people came in to watch
college basketball and the Olympics.
Sean Gerrity, owner of Henry T's Bar and Grill, 3520 W. 6th St., said the crowd at his restaurant depended on the event.
"Last night for the women's figure skating there was some attention,"Gerrity said."Alot of people requested it on the TVs."
Gerrity said his restaurant had picked up a live feed, which was beneficial for customers who wanted to watch the events without commercial interruption.

Permits to enroll available online
By Meredith Carr Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas is taking a baby step toward online enrollment.
Starting this spring, permits to enroll will be available online.
"I think it's great because previous semesters it would take a few weeks to get students their permits, but this will be more efficient and more timely," said Kim Lafever, information specialist for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
The University Registrar's office worked with Academic Technology Services for about a year to get a computer system ready that will streamline the enrollment process.
"The technology is there and it's a better use of time and resources," Lafever said. "Plus it will cut the cost of postage and paper since we're in a budget constraint."
The college made the change for a variety of reasons.
With the cost of paper and postage, the University will save about 34 cents per student.
Each semester, the college typically sent about 13,000 to 14,000 permits to enroll, but this semester students will only be able to access the permits online.
- Have an e-mail address registered with the University no later than March 4.
Here's how to get an online permit:
E - E-mail address can be registered at www.ku.edu/computing.
- Academic Record Tracking System forms will be accessible Monday, March 11.
- To view a sample online permit, go to www.enpassport.ku.edu
"Students can still use their Hotmail or Yahoo accounts, but you have to have them registered with the University," said Dan Consoller, director of academic technology services.
Cindy Derritt, associate registrar, said the permits to enroll now have two forms, an e-passport and a course selection form.
"An e-passport will have information specific and unique to an individual student," Derritt said. "This document will have the student's day and time to enroll
Students can write down the classes they plan to take on the course selection form, said Richard Morrell, university registrar.
If students have holds, they will need to print their e-passports before their enrollment time and bring them to prove their holds have been cleared.
as well as if they have any holds."

"It's progress toward online enrollment in that it's getting students familiar with obtaining their documents online," he said.
Though the online enrollment process will use PeopleSoft, a program the University purchased in 1997 for online enrollment, this step is an initiative and would help the online presence, Derritt said.
All students should receive an e-mail by Friday, March 1, that explains the process in further detail.
Students without access to a computer can still obtain the documents necessary for enrollment outside of 154 Strong Hall starting Monday, March 25.

Professor hoping to figure out universe
By Sarah Hill Kansan staff writer
Instead of grading student papers this semester, Alice Bean is working on an international project to discover what the universe is made of.
LAWRENCE AUTOMOTIVE DIAGNOSTICS INC.
842-8665 2868 Four Wheel De
Bean, professor of physics, is a project director at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, or Fermilab, in Batavia, Ill.
The scientist's ultimate goal is to understand the composition of mass by studying the forces that hold particles together.
"What really excites us is to understand the why and the how of the universe," Bean said.
The project, named D0, uses the Tevatron particle accelerator, the highest level energy accelerator in the world. Bean described the particle accelerator, often incorrectly referred to as an "atom smasher," as a microscope that could look at the building blocks of the smallest particles. The Tevatron is four miles in circumference.
Because the Tevatron is so powerful, the scientists observe particles more closely on a much smaller scale. These particles hold the answers to what the universe is made of.
The scientists developed technology from the project to improve their own systems, then discovered the technology could help others. Bean said the group developed technology for the World Wide Web and improved magnets for magnetic resonance imaging systems.
"It's helping society, but it's not why we went in there in the first place." she said.
Philip Baringer, professor of physics, was one of the first KU physicists to work at Fermilab on the D0 project. KU researchers have worked on the project since 1994.
KU faculty and students work on the project at the Fermilab and at a satellite lab in Malott Hall. KU researchers are part of a group of 500 scientists from around the world working on the project.
Baringer said the project was a good way for students to learn to build and test equipment and then analyze data that results from the experiments.
D
"In order to give our students the right experience, we have to have projects in different stages," he said. "The D0 project allows us to do that."
Jeremy Wade, Wichita junior, works on the project at the University. Wade uses probes to test integrated circuits which are small computer chips. He said the job is challenging.
Bean will finish this semester at Fermilab and return to the University next fall to teach physics classes.

Alice Bean, professor of physics, holds a diagram showing where her silicon research will ultimately be used. Bean lives in Chicago where her research is taking place and will resume teaching classes next fall.

EDITORIAL
Sharing medal makes best out of bad situation
For a week now, we've watched a soap opera on ice unfold before our eyes: Jamie Sale and David Pelletier, Canadian pairs figure skaters, "robbed" of their gold on Feb. 11. Russian pair, Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze, remained calm and dignified as tensions mounted.
Then, Sunday night, Sale and Pelletier were awarded the gold medal as well. Now, the Russians are up in arms at the insult. Meanwhile, French judge Marie-Reine Le Gougne was last seen cowering in a bunker somewhere in Afghanistan. It's Salt Lake City, 84195, and Aaron Spelling is frantically trying to buy the TV rights.
But while everyone cashes in on their 15 minutes, they've lost track of the main point in all this: Corruption has brought the system down.
One judge stood up during the opening ceremony and pledged an oath to the world that all of the Olympic officials would judge fairly and without bias. Less than 72 hours later, the world saw what that oath had meant.
The Olympics is a business. No one doubts that. There are rivers of money flowing through it as cities vie to become host, NBC nabs as many advertisers as possible, athletes sign endorsement deals and the host cities rope in as many tourists as possible. One would have to be naive not to see that.
Yet, at the heart of it all, the Olympics stands for something noble. Faster. Higher. Stronger. The ideal is alive, and that's what's been tarnished this past week.
The International Olympic Committee made the best of a bad situation when they awarded Canada the co-gold. No one wanted to deny the Canadians what should have been theirs. At the same time, no one wanted to strip the Russians of their rightful medal because of an incident over which they had no control. Sharing the gold was the lesser of three evils. Truly, it was the only fair solution.
Yet, if the committee thinks it can pass out medals like candy bars and everyone will be satisfied, it has another thing coming. Closed-door hearings and six-day investigations just won't cut it.
Dan Osman for the editorial board.
The head of the International Skating Union has proposed abolishing the 6.0 scale, one that's been a tradition in the skating world for 110 years. The ISU is also saying the number of judges needs to be increased to 15 from its current nine, or that judges should always be from countries that aren't participating in the event.
In the end, though, it's unlikely that anything will come of this. No, nothing will change. It will be business as usual. And the only people to get hurt will be athletes who spend their whole lives preparing for performances and fans who only wish to see the winner win.

MTV's 'Be Heard.' Young people from five cities across the globe grilled Secretary of State Colin Powell in an MTV-sponsored forum. Cheers to the kids in Washington, D.C., Sao Paulo, Cairo, New Delhi and London showed Powell that 20-something demands explanations, too.

PERSPECTIVE
State legislature to blame for proposed tuition increases
Much has been made of the proposed tuition increases coming for state universities in Kansas. Many students are appealing to our administrators or the Board of Regents to curb the apparently inevitable tide. But are the chancellors or the Regents really to blame for this sudden shift?
It's doubtful that the cost of running the University of Kansas and its facilities has gone up as dramatically as the size of the proposed increases. Are we being mismanaged? Is the administration skimming profits? Not likely.
The culprit is not the Regents or the University's administrators, but rather the state legislature. During the last several years, most Kansas elected officials have demonstrated nothing short of a fetish for tax cutting. This followed a national trend, led by Republicans, who believed that the only reasonable thing to do with surplus tax dollars in a booming economy was to "return it to the people."
JOHN COOKE
Similarly, Gov. Graves boasted his tax-cutting credentials during his reelection in 1998, and other Republican lawmakers have been just as eager.
Now that the economy is in the dumps, these tax cuts have left Kansas and many other states with new deficits and budget shortfalls.
What is a state government to do? The legislature could raise taxes again to maintain funding for the priorities to which it has committed. Instead,legislators are looking for ways to cut spending.
COMMENTARY
David Grummon opinion@kansan.com
KU students can think back to increases in student housing costs in recent years. Did the cost of maintenance for buildings suddenly jump that high? Not much, one administrator explained to me. The state, though, has been reducing its percentage of paying for those costs. While school endowments do their best to stem the tide with charitable contributions, universities have no choice but to either make the students pay more or cut back on what it offers.
Among the biggest sacrificial lambs is education. For state universities, the tuition increase is the latest sign that many of our legislators no longer feel public higher education should be a priority.
The bigger picture is just as maddening. The state, by mandate of its people, set up public universities to offer quality higher education for its residents at affordable prices. Then, to keep getting reelected, lawmakers cut taxes and refused to increase spending on the
state's universities to keep up with its portion of the costs. To make up the difference, the Regents have to raise tuition.
Effectively, the taxes cut for businesses and the general population have been transferred to students and their families in the form of tuition increases. We will have to pay more to be at KU so that our parents and neighbors in Kansas can pay less in taxes.
It's hard to see how this trend can benefit the people of Kansas. Increased tuition means it will be harder for the average Kansan to attend college, unless he or she is rich or is willing to go into greater debt with student loans. It seems our public universities are gradually becoming privatized.
If you want to point partisan fingers, blame the Republicans. Perhaps some legislators will have the leadership and courage to suggest that we raise taxes to support those things we as a state promised to make a priority, such as public higher education. But by the time the next election rolls around, their opponents will surely have branded them as tax-and-spend liberals.
Don't blame the Regents or the administration. The real culprits will be up for reelection in November. I can't think of a better reason to vote.

I was absolutely appalled by the sportsmanlike behavior of many of the K-State fans at the women's basketball game this Sunday. There were signs that said, "Kill KU snobs" and booing when our players came out. I thought that was incredibly uncalled for, and I left the game early. Marian Washington, you're the greatest.
Kansas State has the most fair-weather fans ever. To call them devoted is just dumb. They never show up unless they have a winner. Why would anyone praise fans that only show up when their team is winning? I'm not really sure.
I was at the KU-K-State game on Sunday, and although it wasn't a very good game, the fieldhouse was very clean. Whoever cleaned it did a really good job.

After reading the Free for All today, I was just wondering why there's no random comments like "Razor bump armpit hair" anymore? What's up with that, Eric Cowenish?
How can you say Kansas fans suck? You camp out longer for basketball games than probably any other college in the nation. Plus, given that our football team sucks, we still have pretty good attendance. You know what, if you don't like it, you can get the hell out.

I would just like to point out that Snow Hall seems to have the most comfortable desks out of all of the buildings.
roody, while I was walking back from class, a girl made fun of me, yelling from the window of her sorority house. I didn't hear exactly what she said, but she called me the girl in the yellow sweater. That wasn't very nice considering I am a guy, and the sweater was a gift from my aunt. I like yellow. Is there anything wrong with a guy wearing yellow?

Hey Chris, I didn't see you camping out at the Fieldhouse at 6 a.m.

The only reason that K-State fans go see K-State men's basketball is they want to see the No.2 team in the country, and there's nothing to do in Manhattan anyway. The coolest place west of Lawrence is pretty much Denver, so I don't know. Take from what you will.
OK, on the front of the *Kansanther* there's a bunch of blood splattered everywhere, in the photo section there's K-State fans, and on the front page of the sports page it talks about how KU fans should be more like K-State fans. What's up with that? I think the *Kansanther* should get new editors.

Yeah, maybe people should cut Robert Chamberain a break since all his article did was defend the people that defend our country.

BLOODY FRONT PAGE
LETTERSTO THE EDITOR
Dear editor,
Dear editor, Monday morning as I elbowed my way into the sea of groggy students for my much-anticipated University Daily Kansan, I yanked my hand away from the stack as if something had bitten me. As I searched for a newspaper that seemed more legible and less alarming, I began to realize the staff of the Kansan had lost its collective minds.
Although I fully understand the play on words, "Casualties of Gwar," I am unclear why the Kansan thinks the Gwar concert to be of greater newsworthiness than the closing of the Sprint center or the open dismissal of academic integrity demonstrated by the University's subscription to turnitin.com.
And then there's the blood; quite possibly the most distasteful front page of all time. Balsys, yes. But the obnoxious paddle of red, smeared over words like "shit" and well, Alex Bartlett's name in the adjacent column, seem wild inappropriate. At a time when the media's coverage of terrorism and its impending threats govern our level of anxiety and sense of security with an almost absolute authority, the UDK literally cried wolf.
The UDK's blatant disregard of all that is tactful for the mere purpose of shock value is disappointing. This is not the Pitch Weekly; we've no need for scantily clad rebels and punchy, inyour-face graphics. It is a NEWSpaper; a designated forum set on the principle of reporting the daily events that affect our lives as a community.

ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT HELP
Dear editor
Dear editor,
Until recently, I might have concurred with Prof. Dennis Dalley's statement in a letter in the Feb.12 Kansan that "it is always such a one-way street with the Athletics Department." The recent event that changed my mind is that the Athletics Department has worked closely with astronomers at KU when the observatory on the roof of Lindley Hall was demolished after being there since Lindley Hall opened in 1944
The Athletics Department has kindly
allowed us to use the roof of Memorial Stadium for our portable telescopes that are used both for classes and for public observing sessions. While the Campus Observing Station on the stadium may be temporary until funding is obtained for a facility worthy of the University of Kansas, without their timely help an academic class would have had to be cancelled, and KU students and Kansans at large would not have access to the view of the sky available only through a telescope. These public sessions are currently scheduled on the last Friday of each month from 8 to 9:30 p.m. (if cloudy, it will be the following Sunday). We are grateful for their help.

Lawrence Arts Center to relocate offer expanded classes to all students
By Lauren Beatty
Kansan staff writer
In less than two months, Lawrence Arts Center classes will begin in their new quadruple-sized home.
Ann Evans, director of the center, said the center's new $7.35 million building on New Hampshire Street would open April 8. She said KU students could benefit from the new center's enhanced courses.
The city donated $4.35 million to build the center, and the center raised the rest of the amount through donations.
Ground was broken on the center in October 2000. Evans said the center would offer adult classes and advanced classes like photography and jewelry making.
Bailey Kivett, center employee and Halstead junior, said she thought it was difficult for non-fine arts students to enroll in art and photography classes at the University of Kansas.
She said if KU students took classes at the arts center, they would be more likely to get chances to participate. She also
"We're going from 10,000 square feet to 40,000 square feet. The sheer magnitude is increasing"
Ann Evans Director, Lawrence Arts Center
said classes would be offered during evenings to make them convenient for students.
According to the KU art department's Web site, www.ku.edu/~sfa, students in other schools at the University may take classes through special permission of the department as space allows.
Kivett said scholarships were available to students wanting to take classes at the center. She said they should fill out scholarship applications when enrolling.
For now, construction will continue on the inside of the building. Evans said floors were
being laid in the lobby and in the dance studios. Seating was also being installed in the auditorium.
"Everything will be different," Evans said. "We're going from 10,000 square feet to 40,000 square feet. The sheer magnitude is increasing."
Kivett said she was eager to work at the new center because of the added space. She said at the center's current building, some preschool classrooms had to function as adult art rooms later in the day.
"At the new center, everything will have its own home." Kivett said.
Evans said the center would release schedules for its new location sometime next week.
A black-tie gala opening will take place April 6. A public dedication for the new building will be April 14.

It's all in the family for this five-person rock band
Jessica Tims Kansan staff writer
He said Family Reunion usually practiced in Lyndon, but before shows it rehearsed in Lawrence.
When the band Family Reunion gets together in Lyndon for its weekly practices, it is just that — a family reunion.
"When we have a show coming up, we practice here to make it easier for Anne because Henry and Mark still live in Lyndon and us three live in Lawrence," Ted Kritikos said. "And since they are the youngest, they have to, you know, have a
Brothers Alex, Ted and Henry Kritikos decided to form a rock band a year ago. Middle brother Ted Kritikos, Lyndon senior, is the lead vocalist. Guitar player and oldest of the Kritikos boys, Alex, lives in Lawrence. Younger brother Henry, who plays the guitar, is a junior at Lyndon High School where he met drummer Mark Harries, Lyndon High School senior. This week, Anne Stephens, Lawrence senior at the University of Kansas, officially became a "family" member when she joined as a bass player.
"Alex is a great guitar player, Henry's a good guitar player, and I just thought we should try to get a band together," Ted Kritikos said. "It just made sense ... and we lived together."
parental permission type of thing."
Susan Kritikos, the boys' mother, said she doesn't have a problem with letting Henry drive 55 miles to Lawrence to practice with his brothers.
"He's 17 and a good driver," she said. "I trust him with my Suburban. They just load up the drums and they're off."
Although the band's taste in music varies among members, they bring their likes together to form a sound of their own.
"I don't think we want to model the band after anybody." Stephens said.
Ted Kritikos said if the band was to be like another band it would be similar to Led Zeppelin, with Bob Dylan fronting and Paul McCartney writing the songs. He said members had heard comparisons to Pixies Flaming Lips and Semisonic.
Family Reunion has played shows at The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., the Stephenson Scholarship Hall's "Bands in the Basement," the Lyndon Fall Festival and Lyndon High School dances.
Family Reunion will be the second of three acts at 9 p.m. at Coco Loco Mexican Cafe, 943 Massachusetts St.

and an internationally recognized researcher at KUMed.
Hudson said his work had led him to Vanderbilt where the facilities would allow him to pursue his research on a faster track.
"It's an exciting time to be in research," he said. "My work has led me into cancer and diabetes and now to Vanderbilt. An investigator has got to continue the pursuit of the findings he has."
Both Hudson and Dey said it was critical for KU to improve and maintain top-quality facilities and recruit strong scientists.
"KU has a good program, but it is important now for the institution to try and maintain this program with an infusion of some major new resources, facilities and scientists," Hudson said.
Lynn Bretz, interim director of university relations, said Vanderbilt could lure professors away by offering better pay, facilities and equipment.
She said that Hudson and Dey were two reasons why KU needed new biomedical research facilities.
"it is blow for KU when those men leave, but we can recover with adequate funding," she said.
KU is urging the state to fund plans like the biomedical research building initiative, which is before the Legislature right now, Bretz said.
"The Regents have proposed issuing more than $110 million in revenue bonds for new research facilities at Wichita State, Kansas State and KU," she said. "Of this total, $65 million would go toward equipping laboratories on the Lawrence campus."
Dey said new medical buildings were an obvious way to pursue researchers.
"It is definitely important to have a new research building, but more urgent and pressing is to recruit a critical mass of strong scientists," he
said. "It is also very important to build solid infrastructures to support existing scientists and to lure potential scientists to KU Medical Center."
Although innovative facilities could be enticing, Hudson said he was more concerned with how KU would attract researchers.
Bretz said that KU researchers brought in $224 million dollars to the state last year.
"The U.S. Department of Commerce translates this money into 9,000 jobs in the state of Kansas," she said. "Research is part of the solution for the state's economic problems."
Clay Blair, chair of the board of regents, said while the legislature was facing a challenging budget, it should see the long range impact that the research bill offers Kansas.

She said she was looking forward to having a fun and successful meet.
"I don't feel that much pressure because my goals and the coaches' goals are similar." Lavieo said.
Sophomore Arrah Nielsen will run the 1000 meters and the relay.
Nielsen said she's had to keep her mind distracted to avoid feeling some pressure about the meet, but she expected to run well in both events.
"It's like if I have a really hard test, I don't like to think about every possible thing that could go wrong," she said. "I just try to relax and do the very best I can."
The 800 meters could be a fast race this weekend because none of the top runners have an automatic qualifying mark for
the NCAA meet, Lavoie said. She said she hoped they would push each other to those qualifying times.
"After the first couple conference meets, I definitely thought that, because we were back in the back of our heats by quite a ways," she said. "Even scoring was, I think, a distant thought in my mind at that point."
Senior Katy Eisenmenger, who owns the Big 12's top time in the mile and the 1000 meters, will run the mile and anchor the relay.
Eisenmenger said she wouldn't have guessed she would be in this position a couple years ago.
"It's a lot easier to go out there and sav. Heel, I feel good," she said.
She said that racing well eased some of the pain of her weekly long runs on Sunday.
Lavoie said qualifying in the relay would be the most gratifying thing for her this weekend. The team's current time of
"I think we'll have to run about 11:25, which according to coach Clark's calculations, we can do right now," she said. "We're all in better shape and just getting the feel of it."
She said she anticipated running faster heading into this season.
11:32.90 will probably not be fast enough to send them to Fayetteville, Ark., the site of the NCAA Championships.
While she ran between 2:18 and 2:19 last year in the 800, Nielsen improved to 2:13 at this season's Iowa State Invitational.
"I have a better endurance base than I ever have," Nielsen said. "I just felt like I was kind of simmering last year."

"We have a lot of girls from different sports so they bring a variety of skills," Harper said. "They have also been playing together for a while and therefore they know how to read each other on the field."
Although the team boasts experienced players, six starting positions required replacement.
"We have enough veterans to get us over the hump of the first game. They're great leaders who set a positive example for the new girls. We'll do just fine." Harper said.
The team also suffered a loss of its coach for the second consecutive year. Jim Bartle has taken the reins as new coach.
"Jimmy is experienced and knows the game," said captain Sarah Ratzlaff, Buhler graduate student.
Bartle has been involved with rugby for more than 20 years. He was a KU team captain and has assisted both the men's and women's rugby teams the last few years.
"Overall, we just want to play a lot of good rugby and work our hardest," Ratzlaff said. "Of course we want to win, but I think we'd rather play well and have fun more than anything."

Americans add five medals
The Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — The latest recipe for American medal success: Start with a third generation Olympian winning a gold for his late grandfather. Add a local favorite with multi-hued hair and a gold medal of her own.
The U.S. Olympians continued their unprecedented Salt Lake City roll, riding the skeleton sleds of Jim Shea, Tristan Gale and Lee Ann Parsley to three more medals — and that was just Wednesday morning.
Apolo Anton Ohno captured the ninth gold medal for the United States in men's short-track speedskating Wednesday night.
Jennifer Rodriguez joined the fun, capturing a speedskating bronze in the 1,500 meters — the second bronze of the games for the former in-line skater from Miami. The five medals were the most for the United States in a single day here.
The U.S. team's impressive showing — 26 medals now, including a record nine golds couldn't overshadow the biggest individual star of Salt Lake City: Ole Einar Bjoerndalen of Norway, who became only the third Winter Olympian to win four golds in a single games.
On a snowy day at the skeleton track, the Americans swept medals in both the men's and women's events—the latter punctuated with a silver medal by Parsley in a 1-2 U.S. finish.
in perhaps the most emotional moment of the Olympics, Shea raced with a funeral card of his grandfather inside his helmet — and then waved the card in victory after claiming the gold medal in the first skeleton event since 1948.
About 30 minutes later, Gale — her hair streaked red, white and blue — zipped down her home course to claim an unlikely gold medal. Gale, a Salt Lake City resident, was a competitive alpine skier for 10 years before trying skeleton.
"My grandpa was with me the whole way," said a beaming Shea, whose father and grandfather were both U.S. Olympians.
The Americans stayed second in the medals table with their 26 medals (nine gold, nine silver and eight bronze). Germany remained atop the table with 31 (9-15-7), with Norway in third with 18 (10-6-2).
She had never finished higher than eighth in a World Cup race before collecting the gold. Just one-tenth of a second behind was silver medalist Parsley.
Rodriguez's bronze medal gave the United States eight medals in eight long-track events, equaling the 1980 team as the most prolific in U.S. history.
The U.S. women's Alpine team was about the only American squad not to flourish in Utah, and could finish with no medals for the first time since 1988.
Freshman Serena Settlemier was rewarded for her play in last weekend's UNLV Classic by being named the Big 12 Softball Player of the Week. This is the second week a Kansas player has received the honor. Last week, senior Christi Musser earned the first award of the season.
Kansas pitcher wins Softball Player of Week
Settlemier pitches for the Jayhawks, but won the award for her performance at the plate. She finished with a .600 average for the weekend, including a double, two home runs and six RBI. Settlemier scored four runs during the Classic and had a 1.067 slugging percentage.
During the weekend, Set- tlemier played pitcher, first base and outfield for the Jayhawks.

Asked if he knew the Korean would be disqualified, Ohno nodded his head and replied "Definitely."
Ohno, who skated with six stitches in his left thigh, dropped to his knees in the center of the rink when the decision was announced. Kim, who already had started a victory lap with a South Korean flag, threw down the banner in disgust.

Li Jiajun of China won the silver and Marc Gagnon of Canada took the bronze.
Ohno's first attempt at gold ended with him sprawled on the ice in the 1,000, the victim of a crash he didn't cause. He still managed to crawl to the finish, sticking his injured leg over the line to claim the silver behind Australia's Steven Bradbury, the only skater not involved in the melee.

"I wanted to wait as long as possible because I knew there would be a lot of traffic." Ohno said. "I set up the Korean real nice and he came over on me hard."

In a shocking reversal of his first Olympic misfortune, the 19-year-old American won gold in 1,500-meter short track when South Korean Kim Dongsung was disqualified for blocking Ohno with a half-lap to go.

COMMENTARY

2002 hockey team has age advantage
Hockey lesson number two: Last week I wrote about the 1980 Miracle on Ice Olympic hockey team and the rules of the game. This week I will have you know that the hockey team of 1980 was much different than the 2002 Olympic team. This year's team is an NHL all-star team of sorts, while in 1980 every player was a college kid with the average age of 19.
It is hard to imagine that members of the1980 hockey team were barely college age when they handed Russia the biggest upset in Olympic hockey history.
The ages of the current team range from 24 to 39.
The United States is a favorite this year, seeded first in its bracket for the medal round. The team faced off against Germany last night, winning 5-0.
This year's coach is Herb Brooks, who also coached the team in 1980. Brooks was also a part of the 1964 and 1968 Olympic teams but won his first medal as coach of the 1980 'kids.' In the past 20 years he has coached four NHL teams. When asked what he thought about the format of the team this year, Brooks said he would prefer to keep it strictly at an amateur level, but will accept the change. He said without change, there was no progress.
Ispoke with Matt Davis, Topeka sophomore and player for the Kansas club hockey team, about his feelings on both the 1980 team and the 2002 Olympic team as far as age and performance measure up.
"You have to realize that the majority of these guys who play at this level practice at least twice a day—hockey is life up North," Davis said. "When I lived in Canada we would even practice before school. Anymore, guys our age who play in the NHL are physical prodigies just like the young guys who make it to the NBA before college."
Davis is right. Take a look at even the youngest of the Olympic team this year.
Mike York, a forward from the New York Rangers is the youngest player at 24. Michigan State alumni, he was a Hobey Baker Memorial Award finalist for the college hockey player of the year his junior and senior year, and was also runner up for the Calder Trophy as the NHL's Rookie of the Year.
Then take a look at 25-year-old Chris Drury, a center for the Colorado Avalanche, 2001 Stanley Cup Champions. This guy has a list of achievements longer than most of the 1980 players. He began his athletic career as a pitcher in 1989 for the Trumbull baseball team who made it to the Little League World Series. Making the switch to hockey, Drury was recruited by Boston University and was the leading all-time scorer. Boston won the NCAA championships when he was a freshman, and he earned All-American Honors twice and was the winner of Hobey Baker Award. After graduating he went to the NHL to the Colorado Avalanche and won the Calder Trophy during the 98-99 season.
So keep a watchful eye on the Olympic team this year. Although there probably won't be as many sparks and miracles the 1980 team produced, the this year's team is sure to do well.
And if you're looking for a little hockey action nearby to suffice your craving, make your way over to Ice Sports in Kansas City Friday night for the club team's game. Face off begins at 9:15.

Junior leads Jayhawks
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswrite
The junior infielder — and junior college transfer — went four for four with two doubles, two RBIs and three stolen bases yesterday, helping the Kansas baseball team beat Newman 8-1.
Brandon Shepard wasted little time making an impact.
The victory improves the Jayhawks to an unblemished 5-0 mark, while Newman dropped to 6-8 on the year. Shepard, playing in four of the five games, is hitting 615 (8-for-13) with four doubles and eight runs scored.
"It's feeling good," Shepard said. "It's good to get a couple of wins under our belt and get off to a quick start."
As a team, Kansas cranked out 13 hits yesterday from seven different players. Senior third baseman Ryan Klocksien contributed three hits and three RBIs, and junior outfielder Lance Hayes went two for four.
"We haven't faced Big 12 pitching," Shepard said. "But we have to be pretty pleased with the way we've been swinging so far."
Down 1-0 in the first inning, Shepard followed a leadoff triple by Hayes with a run-scoring single. He later scored on a single by Klocksien, putting the Jayhawks up early—and for good.
After doubling in the third inning, Shepard stole third base, and advanced to home on a throwing error by Newman catcher Shawn Jacques.
Freshman Chris Jones, one of six Kansas pitchers, was credited with the win. Senior Randy Strann pitched

three shutout innings in relief, and four other pitchers recorded scoreless innings to close out the game.
"I think you saw another quality performance by the pitching staff," coach Bobby Randall said. "That was the buffet pitching plan—a little bit of everything."
"It felt nice," Shepard said. "I'm working hard in practice and ready to go whenever I get the opportunity."
In the bottom of the eighth, junior designated hitter Pat Holmes slapped a solo home run, and Shepard concluded his perfect day at the plate with an RBI double.
The running game of the Jayhawks, relatively quiet in the first four games, started to show some life. Sophomore second baseman Ryan Baty stole his second base of the season to go with Shepard's three-stale performance.
"We work on that every day in practice," Shepard said. "That's something that's going to help us a lot — getting runners over and getting them into scoring position."

With a three-game home series against the University of WisconsinMilwaukee starting on Friday, Randall said he was happy with where his team stood, despite needed improvements.

Rugby teams start season
By Stephanie Goettsch Kansan sportswriter
Veteran players will be the key to success for the men's and women's rugby teams this season.
"We have great leadership," club president and three-year team member Matt Kenney, Kansas City, Mo., junior, said. "They teach the underclassmen rugby skills as well as social skills, like how to be a team."
Both the men's and women's teams will open their spring seasons this weekend. The men will compete Saturday and Sunday in the Big 12 Tournament in Norman, Okla. The women play Saturday in Norman in a single game against Oklahoma.
Last season, the men were undefeated in collegiate play, 13-2 overall and Big 12 Conference runners-up. The charge was lead by the preponderate upperclassmen.
"We've had almost the exact same team for the last two years, so team continuity is one of our strengths," Will Lenz, Gurnnee, Ill., junior said.
"One thing we want to do this season is incorporate guys who haven't played as much since we have so many veterans. We'll need to fill those positions for next year," Lenz said.
Jordan Brown, Whitefish Bay, Wis., freshman, and Olathe sophomore Kyle Ricketts were the only rookies to see playing time.
In addition to increasing depth, the team is focusing on its upcoming games.
"Our focus is to win at the Big 12 Tournament, St. Louis and Nebraska. Those are the big three," Kenney said. "We had a strong team last year, and it already looks like we've improved these first few weeks of practice, so we should be really competitive."
The KU men's rugby team may meet Texas in the tournament this weekend. Texas defeated the team last year in a heartbreaking clash.
"We were winning for a while, but they were hard runners and more physically fit," Lenz said. "We've been working on fitness and endurance so we'll be ready for them this year."
The women's team closed last season with an 11-1 record. The team's most impressive performance was an overwhelming victory at a tournament in Colorado.
"We played four games in one day, which is a grueling schedule," Neodesha senior Abbey Harper said. "We ended up only getting scored on once. I'm really proud of what we did."
Harper attributed a lot of last year's success to team dynamics.

Women ready to win distance at Big 12 meet
A revival is taking place among the women's distance runners at Kansas.
For the first time since the inception of the Big 12 Conference in 1997, Jayhawk runners could claim titles in multiple distance events at this weekend's championships in Lincoln, Neb.
The entire team has improved this season, but perhaps nowhere more than with the distance runners. Since 1997, the Kansas women have scored an average 24.4 points at the conference indoor championships.
And the distance runners haven't scored a point, much less won a single conference indoor title during that span.
This season, however, the Jayhawks could score over 30 points in the distance events alone, and the team could finish in the top six for the first time as members of the Bia 12.
The last time the women's distance runners performed this confidently was in 1996, when the Jayhawks claimed Big Eight titles in the 800 and 3000 meters, as well as the distance medley relay.
Assistant coach Doug Clark said with better performances from this year's runners came higher expectations.
Then he chuckled and rethought that statement.
"Maybe it's me who's getting nervous about them getting nervous," Clark said.
Sophomore Laura Lavoie, who finished fifth in the 800 at the conference championships a year ago, will run the 800 this year, as well as a leg on the distance medley relay.

Nathan Loukedes, Manchester, N.H., freshman and an employee at The Yellow House, helps a customer The Yellow House, located at 1904 Massachusetts St. sells an ectonic mix of new and used goods, including clothing, wigs and washing machines.

Jayplay writer
Typically, college towns are a mecca for oddities and extremes, serving as a cultural oasis for the young people who live there and the stores and shops they patronize. On occasion, however, the shops elevate themselves to a level above the cultural norms of the area and, in turn, become an icon beyond the culture, serving the community in the most unique of ways.
Such is the Yellow House, a fusion of many conceivable singular stores from appliance repair shop to biker outfitter, at 1904 Massachusetts St., which has been serving Lawrence for a decade.
"We are one of the most well-liked and-known local business," said Nathan Loukedes, a store employee. "We have a lot of strange things here, and people kind of know us for that."
know us for that.
Upon entrance, the merchandise seems diametrically opposed from itself, as if everything had been dropped off by people who assuredly never knew one another. Washers and dryers line the center of the large main room. Above, an assortment of leather goods await purchase and departure, on the back of a Harley.
And the thought arrives: Can leather even be washed? How often can bikers wash their clothes to necessitate ownership of the proper washing equipment?
Then, glancing past the main counter — filled with video games, DVDs and the like — two walls of Styrofoam heads model the other main product of the small strange store: wigs. Any size or shape or even color one could imagine.
"There are lots of different customers for the wigs," Loukedes said. "A lot of college kids want the colored ones for raves and parties. It's kind of a fun thing for kids to do... and they last longer than drugs do.
Aside from the party goers and costume-seekers — e.g., drag queens — the wigs serve a portion of Lawrence who often have nowhere else to turn. These individuals include those stricken with the need for hair after the destructive course of chemotherapy treatments while battling cancer.
"And ever since the Michael Jackson special a few weeks ago, the Afro wigs have been selling like crazy."
The Yellow House is used to this juxtaposition of clientele, as its merchandise is varied enough to serve many different types of people. While the washers and dryers sell themselves, other items are helped off the shelves by students, faculty and staff of the University of Kansas.
"We are one of the most wellliked and-known local business. We have a lot of strange things here, and people kind of know us for that."
Nathan Loukedes store employee
"Professors in the math department send their kids here to get graphing calculators." Loukedes said, pointing at a glass case full of the bulky mathematical devices. "We are usually cheap, and we always have something in that the students can use."
Insofar as community respect, the Yellow House seems to exude it. As a long-time member of the Lawrence retail community, the store has had the opportunity to offer services that are more unique than even the merchandise itself.
"We offer a delivery service that is unmatched in the area," said Carrie Neighbor, who owns the Yellow House with her husband Guy, an ex-football player at the University in the '80s.
Deliveries range from the appliances they sell to legal letters they deliver for local businesses. Since the Yellow House offers the only such service in the area, many, if not all, local stores and employees have used the service at one time or another.
Although its variety of saleable items is vast, the owners implore customers that it is a business with a high standard of quality for its goods and services.
"We are not a pawn shop." Lokedes said. "Everything that comes in the shop goes through a level of maintenance. We only sell certain things, even if that variety is pretty vast."
That being said, the Yellow House will continue to serve an often erratic and diverse college culture, whether through appliance repair service or adornments for party-going heads.
"Lawrence is the capital of weirdness in Kansas," Loukedes said. "And we are 'The Most Unusual Store in Lawrence.'"

RAWK SNOB
Rawk Snob honors borrowed stacks of CDs
Hey, there! What's this you are listening to? Mind if I ask to borrow it for a couple of days — just long enough to burn it, of course — then wait on you to break into my apartment six months later to reclaim it when I forget, despite numerous blunt reminders, that I was supposed to return it?
I will write a research paper on the following topic: The Impact of Music on Mental Health. You are required to use three sources in your research paper, including an article from a reputable journal and two books or websites that provide evidence on music's effects on mental health. Please refer to the provided image for the visual content of the paper.
Even though I guarantee you'll get them back in pristine condition, I'm a pretty irresponsible rakw snob when it comes to returning borrowed material within a reasonable amount of time.
Though there is truly no atonement for ridiculously overdue music, I've decided to honor the very best of the teetering stack of borrowed tunes that occupies the top of my stereo, both speakers and that shoe box I always thought contained the money I was going to spend recording my "Hendrix-period" solo album.

COMMENTARY
Rest assured, my generous and understanding friends, they are swiftly on their
way back to you. In the meantime, to all of my auditory debtors, here goes my tribute to the cream of my pilfered crop:
This reissue of Silver Apples' 1968 and 1969 releases chronicles the early career of arguably one of the most unique bands of the flower power generation. Dan Taylor's pre-trip-hop drum spasms carry most of the tunes as resident weirdo Simeon sings beat poetry
1. Silver Apples - Silver Apples, 1997.
Believe it or not, upon first hearing "You and I," the thunderous beat and frantic synthetic trumpet wailings made me think I was listening to Public Enemy.
like a Cream-era Jack Bruce while creating priceless space-rock sound fragments with his home-made organ.
This six-song album is brief, atmospheric and comfortably trippy, armed with a warm blanket of guitar accents, gentle female vocals and keyboard flourishes that make getting out of bed in the morning a real chore.
2. Experimental Aircraft — Experimental Aircraft, 2000.
The instrumental pieces, like "The Pod Electric," take center stage on the album, reaching crescendos that break up the bleak, My Bloody Valentine-like drones of blissful amd dementia.
Desaparecidos,2002.
3. Read Music/Speak Spanish
The lead singer, Conor Oberst, has a lo-fi acoustic project called Bright Eyes that I never really dug too heavily, but his rock band, Desaparecidos, has resolved most qualms I had with his singing and songwriting.
The band's sound smacks of a Bossa Nova-era Pixies with an overhaul of new-wave synths fleshing out their raw, spur-of-the-moment sound. Most surprisingly, the lyrics are acutely political, fueling witty rants that would probably make Michael Moore break into a smirk ortwo.
Now that I've had a reasonable amount of time to keep, analyze and cherish these borrowed discs, I suppose the only thing left to do is to begin making the rounds to everyone's doorstep, returning their missing gems. Just as soon as I get that last Replacements album copied.

Time off is best cure for aching genitalia
K
Sometimes during a sexual experience there is a point — similar to the point of no return — when you want to continue whatever it is that has you so turned on for the rest of the day. Forget class, forget dinner — it's time to get it on.
COMMENTARY
But, in a world where even drinking too much water can be a no-no, it shouldn't be any surprise that our flimsy bodies can't take quite the amount of lovin' that we sometimes want to get.
It's sad but true. Just like eating too much food or drinking too much beer makes you puke, having too much sex can also have some nasty physical side effects.
While puking is always a possibility too much sexual activity is more likely to cause some nasty soreness, which may or may not be accompanied by redness and swelling. For women, it's the "four hour bareback trail ride" syndrome, where every bow-legged step is agony.
COMMENTARY
So is peeing. The soft, silky folds of the vagina are swollen and burning. There might even be a lovely general ache in the area to top everything off.
Guys can suffer from a penis that looks slightly sunburned and hurts to be touched – much less rubbed or stroked, even if the rubbing and stroking is done by nothing more than a pair of boxer shorts.
If you're going for the world record for length — of sexual activity, of course — it might be best for all involved to keep a bottle of lubricant by the bed. Lubricant can turn a dry, tired vagina or penis on a slip-n-slide of fun. If the lubricant runs out, saliva is the next best thing. Only venture into oils or lotions if you are a guy desperate to masturbate. The only thing worse than a dry, sore vagina is one that is full of oil or lotion.
Meghan Bainum mbainum@kansan.com
Of course, lubricant can only go so
tar. After a certain point, everything just starts to go numb. If during the time of the sexual encounter, your genitalia or anybody's genitalia involved goes from feeling sore to feeling nothing at all, all signs are pointing to stop. Especially if you're getting greedy and going for your second, third or fourth orgasm.
Because — surprise — even too many orgasms can be too much of a good thing.
Giving your over-worked genitals time to recover is the best advice for getting over a sex marathon.
Women looking for dry, sore vagina relief can also turn to over-the-counter creams, such as Vagisil, for cooling relief. But if it's been a couple of days and things still aren't back to normal or if swelling and pain gets worse, take a trip to Watkins Memorial Health Center to see what is up down there.
In the end, it is best to approach sex and masturbation like the erotic delight that they are. While too little will make you grumpy and too much will make you feel a little bit sick, the perfect amount will make you—and your penis or vagina—feel happy and relaxed.
Are you happy and relaxed, or angry and tense? E-mail Meghan at mbainum@kansan.com and tell her all about it.

Rising band thwarted by monotonous songs
Visit for music and more information on the band.
kansan.com
the Calling, made up of singer Alex Band, guitarists Aaron Kamin and Sean Woolstenhulme, bassist Billy Mohler and drummer Nate Wood, make an earnest musical effort with Camino Palmero. However, the band lacks personality, sounding at times like a generic, flavor-of-the-month band, as well as an imitation of Creed.
By Donovan Atkinson Jayplay writer
While the band demonstrates fine instrumental work and gravelly vocals that provide a unique sound, The Calling is held back by the songs it performs.
"Wherever You Will Go," which was featured in the film Coyote Ugly, may have been the commercial standout single from the album, but any of the other tracks could have replaced it. All the songs, written by Band and Kamin, are almost indistinguishable from each other.
RCA Records touts its newest band. The Calling, as an up and coming upstart whose single, "Wherever You Will Go," is currently the fifth most played in America.
The songs often rely heavily on single words or phrases by stressing only those words. The writers also use the chorus as the bulk of the lyrics. Combined with unimaginative lyrics about the pain of love, the overall effect is a lackluster listening experience.
Despite promising performances, The Calling is held back by repetitive, unoriginal songs and lack of a distinct sound.
The group's debut album, Camino Palmero, is climbing the charts and is ranked at 36. The Calling has recently appeared on a variety of television shows, from The Conan O'Brien Show to Total Request Live and even NBC's January Olympic special. All this success is admirable, especially for a band that is mediocre at best.

The Ice Man cometh to Lawrence club
Jessica Tims
Kansan Staff Writer
Ice is back in Lawrence with his brand new invention. Vanilla Ice will take the stage tomorrow at Abe and jake's Landing.
"Doors will open at 8, and he will take stage some time after that," Mike Logan, Abe and Jake's general manager, said. "There will be a DJ before him. It will be a huge dance party."
Logan said Ice was asked to perform at Abe and Jake's, 8 E. Sixth St., because of his popularity in the early 1990s.
"There is the retro factor." Logan said. "He is going to do a lot of his old stuff."
Ice's trip to Lawrence has been turned into a major event, said Alyssa Reed, national sales person for Liquid 8 Records. She said Ice would be making numerous appearances around Lawrence tomorrow.
Visit for music and more information on Vanilla Ice.
He will be doing an interview on KJHK at 2:30 p.m. The interview will take place in the Kansas Union as a part of the Union's Friday Freebies promotion.
Hastings, 1900 W. 23rd St., will also have an autograph session at 3:50 p.m., Reed said. At Hastings, Ice will pick the winner of a set of tickets to that night's concert.
Reed said Z95.7 will also do a series of live remotes from around Lawrence, ending with a broadcast from 8:30 to 10:30 tomorrow night at Abe and Jake's.

KJHK's programming now includes a Saturday morning kid's show, Funtime Story Hour. Roscoe, left, and Captain Matty read classic children's literature and play funny music from 8-9 a.m. on Saturday.
Two theater majors produce radio show featuring music. poetry for children
By Brad Weiner Jayplay writer
If you think that there is no high-quality children's programming on television,you are absolutely correct. Fortunately,the radio has an answer.
Every Saturday morning at 8 on KJHK, FM 90.1, Captain Matty and Roscoe's Funtime Story Hour provides an escape from the routine and a chance to blast back to a time when crustless peanut butter and jelly sandwiches fueled the imagination.
Captain Matty, also known as Matt Hislope, Clio, Mo., senior, and Roscoe, Ryan Colwell, Leawood, senior — both theater majors — came up with idea to "present classical children's literature along with things we wished people had exposed us to when we were younger."
It's a noble idea that took two semesters of development before landing on the airwaves.
Fifteen minutes before show time last Saturday, Captain Matty and Roscoe went over their loose outline and talked about how they would reincorporate Roscoe back into the show after a week-long hiatus. Roscoe disappeared the week before for reasons Captain Matty couldn't figure out. Roscoe was actually out of town and couldn't participate on the show.
While the previous DJ finished his set with a selection from Green Day's Dookie, Captain Matty, dressed in a one piece science suit a-la-Doc from Back to the Future, entered the studio and surrounded himself with a large plastic apple, a bullhorn, a bottle of strawberry pop and several books.
It was obvious the show was presented for kids at heart, by kids at heart. Captain Matty and Roscoe prepared their first segment, popped on some headphones and the Funtime Story Hour began.
Captain Matty welcomed the children back with glee, but confessed how sad he had been since Roscoe's disappearance the week before. He then turned on a song that talked about loneliness. At its conclusion, Captain Matty pretended to field a phony phone call from a mysterious source who knew Roscoe was on his way back to the "magical radio tower." Next, they switched on a campy version of "Zippity Doo-Dah" as an emotional soundtrack.
During the song, they prepared for the next segment and quickly went over their outline with no real rehearsal. The spontaneity of
the show was obvious to someone watching them perform, but the on-air sounded like they had been practicing for weeks. Roscoe said their perfect chemistry was based on an appreciation for each another's talent and "a lot of trust."
Captain Matty and Roscoe's reunion was both hilarious and heartfelt. Despite the obvious celebration, Roscoe confessed to "waking up on the wrong side of the bed," using it as a segue into Shel Silverstein's "I'm in a Rotten Mood."
Other literary selections included My Funny Dream and chapter four from the C.S. Lewis masterpiece The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, a book they read weekly. The music for the show came from a variety of sources including Sesame Street, Phillip Glass, The Wizard of Oz in Concert, Spike Jones A Toolbox Christmas and a bizarre compilation of Lithuanian children's rap.
When they switched off the microphones, Captain Matty and Roscoe became regular college students.
On two occasions Roscoe admitted, "I need coffee" — a reasonable request for 8 a.m. Another time he looked at Matty with a big grin and said, "This is too much fun." Captain Matty agreed.
Behind the hi jinx of Captain Matty and Roscoe's Funtime StoryHour is an idea that Roscoe seemed intent on spreading.
"The world needs more people communicating on a simpler level," Roscoe said with a little regret. "We take ourselves way too seriously."

Artist keeps tradition with guitar
Jayplay writer
By Kyle Christensen
Two years ago, young Robert Randolph sat before his church in New Jersey performing on a pedal steel guitar. Today, Randolph tours the nation with his instrument and energizes souls along the way.
Randolph, 24, grew up in a spiritual north Jersey family and attended the House of God church, an African-American Pentecostal denomination, where his father was a deacon and minister. At the House of God, the pedal steel guitar has been a traditional instrument since the 1930s, and Randolph is preserving that tradition.
Five years later, he began to perform in the New York area
with his band, Robert Randolph and the Family Band. The band now has a devout following across the U.S., consisting of mostly college students and members of the music industry eager to get their hands on the new talent. Randolph is showing people the pedal steel is a dynamic instrument.
The pedal steel is a 13-string innovation on the resonant steel guitar. It rests on four legs like a keyboard and contains pedals and knee levers used for changing pitch. Although often heard in country music, it also can be found in churches where it is commonly called the "sacred steel."
In Randolph's hands, the sacred steel comes alive as it whispers, laughes, moans and screams. His fingers fly across the steel and cram his surroundings with energy. He is the younger prototype of the sacred steel who brings versatility to the instrument.
Robert Randolph and the Family Band includes Randolph's cousins Danyell Morgan on bass and Marcus Randolph on drums; Randolph's friend John Ginty completes the band on the Hammond B-3 organ.
The quartet is new to the "jam band" scene, but is rapidly making a name for itself with its unique blend of gospel, funk, soul, R&B, blues and hip hop. The band has performed with the likes of Victor Wooten, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe and the Derek Trucks Band.
A Randolph show rages with soul. Smiles fill the audience as fans stomp their feet, shake their booties, clap their hands and scream in delight. The experience is a spiritual one. Randolph brings the soul from the church
and releases it into the night of a crowded, smoky room.
Last year Randolph teamed with keyboardist John Medeski and the blues band North Mississippi All-stars to produce The Word. This instrumental gospel album is an emotional roller coaster and ranges from the slow, souful Call Him By His Name, to the funky jam Waiting On My Wings. At the Cross dominates the album with its uplifting spirit. Randolph can also be heard on a gospel compilation entitled Sacred Steel Live.
Robert Randolph will perform at 10 p.m. at The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire. Shannon McNally will open. Tickets are $10.

Local filmmakers achieve success
By Peter Black Movie reviewer
Trying to break into the film industry from Kansas isn't a task that is easy to accomplish.
Patrick Rea, Schuyler, Neb., senior, and Ryan Jones, Coffeyville senior, are two filmmakers who are trying to make that leap. Making their transition from college students to the film industry a little easier is the recent success of their short film, A Light in the Darkness.
According to Rea and Jones, these awards were much appreciated after spending nearly a yearand-a-half working on the project. Production began in October 2000 and finished in January 2001.
"It is really hard to stay focused on one project for such a long period of time." Rea said.
The two filmmakers are now benefiting from the success of A Light. It recently showed in the finals of the Great Plains Film Festival in Lincoln, Neb., in the short film category. Also, it took first place in the college division at the KAN Film Festival in Kansas City.
A Light is a sci-fi film about an unaging priest who is unable to remember his past. As an archeological dig unearths an ancient city, pieces of the priest's past begin to fall into place. He soon discovers that he is the fabled archangel that is mankind's only chance for survival.
The two hope that the project will gain their recognition and lead the way toward funding for future projects, as well as job offers.
A Light in the Darkness and other student films can be seen at the KU Film Festival at the Kansas Union during the last week of March.
Jones said he liked the idea of the two friends continuing to work together.
"Patrick has a A-B-C understanding of film making and I have a C-D-E understanding, so if you put the two together I think we make a real good team."
The film is definitely something that is going to catch a few people's eyes. Because of the nature of the piece, it lent itself well to combining live action with digitally rendered objects.
Rea concerned himself mostly with planning the project along with directing and shooting the live action footage, while Jones did all of the computer generated action.
Rea and Jones' accomplishment is very deserving of the awards it is receiving. Shot on the streets of Lawrence and Kansas City — with a budget of almost nothing — A Light is an incredible example of what film students at KU are capable of.
Beautifully composed shots and amazing computer generated action showcase the abilities of the two filmmakers. The fact that the film is shot entirely on DV also is an incredible example of how aspiring filmmakers in Kansas can produce a product that can compete with projects with much larger budgets.
Call for contest entries: Wildest party school
By Lauren Beatty
Kansan staff writer
The search is on for America's biggest party school.
Playboy magazine is sponsoring a contest to find the loudest, wildest, most outrageous university in the nation. The magazine's Web site, www.playboy.com, is calling for entries, asking students to dig up the dirt on their schools. The results will be published in the October 2002 issue.
Playboy last ranked party schools in 1987 with California State University at Chico taking first place honors. Since then, there have been other reports out there, scoping the country for the biggest and best party schools.
the winner from lastyear's poll at partyschool.com was James Madison University in Virginia. An article from The Princeton Review cites the University of Tennessee at Knoxville as the number one party school.
Scott Bideau, Chanute graduate student, runs partyku.com, a Web site devoted to the art of partying at the University of Kansas. The Web site, which Bideau said he started for fun, has been online for four years.
Bideau said KU might have had a chance to be named the best party school five years ago, but now there was no chance because fewer people were having parties.
"I came here five years ago when places were serving everyone with a valid college ID," Bideau said. "Now people are afraid to have parties."
Bideau said some groups were targeted by the cops.
"People are afraid to post a party on my site, but it's better than throwing fliers around," he said.
Anyone wanting to boost KU to party school status can submit an entry at playboy.com. Entries must include name, age, year in school, major, phone number and e-mail address and describe what makes KU the place to party.

How It Feels to Make A Major Discovery
KU should know. Its faculty, graduates and students have been making major discoveries for more than a century. Discoveries such as "units of inheritance," which came to be known as genes; the natural element helium; the planet Pluto; and even Vitamins A and D. Kid stuff like that.
KU's scientific legacy, combined with private giving, has attracted a superb faculty. And now it is time to provide facilities and equipment worthy of their capacities.

Spring,summer fashions here
By Julie Jantzer
Jayplay writer
Stores have begun to fill their racks with bright-colored tank tops and capris as the spring and summer seasons approach.
Maurices, 739 Massachusetts St., Abercrombie & Fitch, 647 Massachusetts St., Eddie Bauer Inc., 643 Massachusetts St., and American Eagle Outfitters, 619 Massachusetts St., are displaying bright and colorful clothing for men and women. The Gap, 643 Massachusetts St., on the other hand, is going back to muted, earth-tone colors.
When it comes to color, Sabrena Silcott, a Maurices sales clerk, said that anything from pastels to bolds were popular for spring and summer. Pairing bright colors with plaid and
striped patterns is another trend.
Nick Bettega, Abercrombie & Fitch employee, said, "Less material seems to be better." One-strapped tanks for women and shorter sleeves for men help achieve this skimpier look.
Styles differ from store to store. A sales clerk from the Gap said the store was reverting back to its classic look, while at Maurices' inventive necklines are in.
Johnny collar necks, which have a neckline that splits about halfway down the front, and gathered sleeves and necklines are some trends for women's shirts. As for pants, beat-up denim is still fashionable, especially with frayed bottoms.
The Abercrombie & Fitch look is a combination of sporty and retro. The trend at the store is to reveal more skin this spring.
Eddie Bauer is taking customers back to the '80s. Kim Willard, Eddie Bauer employee, said big, slouched belts, pleats and silk scarves are in style for women. For men, V-neck and crew neck cotton sweaters and flat front khakis are fashionable.
American Eagle refused to comment, but the store displays gathered necklines and mini skirts for women and bright colors for both genders.
Even with the differing styles seen in local stores, two trends are consistent: capris pants and khakis. The classic capris, which is somewhere between pants and shorts, is a must for spring, and khakis are always a safe pick.

Allen Fieldhouse to be razed to make room for scholarship halls
The Kansas Board of Regents approved a plan yesterday that will pave the way for the destruction of Phog Allen Fieldhouse to make room for two new scholarship halls.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said the razing was not a problem despite Allen Fieldhouse being located within 500 feet of buildings on the National Registry of Historic Places.
"The fieldhouse is not on the list," he said,
"thus it has no historical significance whatsoever."
The Department of Student Housing expects the new scholarship halls to be completed by August 2004, and they will house about 50 residents each.

Local merchants prepare for arrival of K-State fans, stock belt buckles
Lawrence merchants are preparing for the influx of fans for the upcoming Kansas basketball game with K-State because Wildcat fans coming to town means big profits.
"Those goat ropers buy everything," said Matthew Scott, Wal-Mart manager. "We always sell lots of hats and cowboy boots."
Western-wear sales skyrocketed last year during the home game against their in-state rivals
"We ran out of big belt buckles last year so we're ordering extras," Scott said.
Western wear is not the only hot commodity when Manhattan residents are in town.
"We're making sure we're well stocked with George Strait and Dixie Chicks CDs" said Margie Norton, an employee at Hastings. "We're also putting all of our John Wayne videos on sale those backwater bumpins should love that."

Pirate house parrot calls it quits after one week on job
Polly, the generically named Parrot at the Pirate House, has decided to leave the establishment after only seven days of service.
"It was a complete misunderstanding" Polly said 10 times in a row very loudly. "I totally had something else in mind. I expected, you know, the high seas, sitting on a guy's shoulder, squawking at the sight of land for my peg-legged boss. But no, it's just a bunch of college kids with a big party house."
Polly plans on working at Long John Silver's until she decides what to do next.

Lost J. Crew catalog stuns student
Sarah Harness has flipped through all 327 past issues of her favorite catalog — but that won't bring her missing Spring 2002 J. Crew edition to her doorstep.
By Mandalee Meisner Kansan satire writer
"At first, I couldn't believe it," said the Overland Park junior, sobbing and clutching a merino wool sweater purchased from the Winter 2001 collection. "Sure, I realized it was nearly two weeks late, but deep in my heart I believed it would still come."
Unfortunately, it didn't—and never will.
In a curious mix-up that still baffles authorities, Harness' mail was exchanged with that of Lawrence resident Warren G. Bleeber of 2511 Kentucky St.
Geographie magazine.
"It had some pretty pictures," Harness said, "but you can't buy pretty birds or even monkeys to fill that deep hole inside you—you know, the one that needs stone-washed denim."
Kentucky B in place of the latest J. Crew edition, Harness, who lives at 1152 Kentucky St., received National Geographic magazine.
seems stone washered. When Harness received the wrong mail, she failed to notice Bleeber's name on the label. She didn't contact authorities until two weeks later
"We've handled situations of missing catalogs before—Banana Republic and Eddie Bauer, for example," said Lawrence police Sgt. Bill Briton. "This was our firstJ. Crew case."
After a thorough search of the premises and an anonymous lead, police found the catalog at Bleebers residence. There, several clues pointed to a gruesome and horrific chain of events.
"It appears that Mr. Bleeber failed to read the address label as well," said a visibly shaken Lawrence Police Det. Gary Plower said. "And then he forced the catalog, against its will, to be read in his bathroom."
The catalog was found wrinkled and barely recognizable in a basket by Bleeber's toilet. Realizing the tarnished appearance of the catalog would just cause more grief for Harness, authorities decided to throw it away.
Bleeber said in a statement that his actions were the result of "the desperation of a man missing his daily john read."
Harness plans to file charges against Bleeber sometime this month. But until then, she's left with the grief and confusion of someone unjustly made to suffer.
"When I found out the truth, I wanted to die," Harness said. "To think of the many years I've wasted keeping up with the latest strappy-mule fashions, building up my wardrobe to unprecedented heights. Now it's all ruined because I'm forced to wear last season's mules. It's just, like, wrong."

Guy thinks it's really cool that his girlfriend is named 'Layla'
MILA
By Joe Stephenson Kansan satire writer
Chuck Dwight, Ottawa sophomore, has been telling friends and family how "unbelievably cool" it has been since he started dating Layla Price, Great Bend freshman, six weeks ago.
"I sometimes can't believe I am dating a girl that shares her name with one of the best rock songs ever." Dwight said.
"The 1970 hit 'Layla' was written by Eric Clapin when he was with Derek and the Dominos.
KIMBERLY THOMPSON/KANSAN
"Layla is one of those songs you just have to turn up whenever it comes on," Dwight said, "I mean, it just rocks."
Dwight then went on to sing the name 'Layla' in an attempt to match Clapton's style.
Price said she was tired of Dwight singing her name.
"Like I haven't heard that before," she said. "How would he like it if his name was from a rock song?"
Chuck Dwight, Ottawa sophomore, points out an Eric Clapton CD to his girlfriend, Layla Price, Great Bend freshman. Dwight said it was "awesome" that his girlfriend was named after a song. Price said she wasn't as thrilled.
Price suggested Dwight should change his name to Jessie, Mickey or even P. Diddy.
"He's so fine, so Mickey would be a good name for him," she said.
When asked about the long-term prospects of their relationship, Dwight said he might not have asked her out if she hadn't been named Layla.
"When I found out that her name was Layla, had to ask her out because I really like the song."
he said.
Dwight said he was actually more of a Springsteen fan amwvay.
"To be real honest," he said. "I'm holding out for a girl named Sandy or Rosalita."

Congress says MU shredded Lay's diploma
By Brandon Gay Kansan satire writer
A congressional probe into the University of Missouri revealed what appears to be a cover-up of the educational background of former Enron CEO Ken Lav.
According to a congressional report, Mizzou officials confiscated Lay's diplomas and shredded the documents.
Previous reports indicated that Lay, who grew up in rural northwest Missouri and in Colombia, Mo., graduated as Phi Beta Kappa at Missouri in 1964 with a bachelor's degree in economics and in 1965 with a master's degree in economics.
But now, the documents have disappeared.
Mizzou Chancellor Richard Wallace denied the alleged shredding.
"Not only did we not shred any diplomas —
Lav never attended this university," Wallace said.
Missouri officials have also apparently worked to cover up the $1.1 million the Ken Lay Family Foundation donated in 1999 to endow a chair of international economics.
"What chair? I don't know anything about that," Wallace said. "Well, they do have some nice BarcaLoungers in the economics department."

Foreign grads face troubles in job market
By Leah Shaffer Kansan staff writer
A weak U.S. economy has made it harder for international students to stay in the country after they graduate.
Marianne Hovgaard, Veije, Denmark, senior, came to the United States on a student visa. She said coming to the United States to pursue a degree was not the problem, but finding a job after graduation was.
Joe Potts, director of International Student Services, said that, according to U.S. immigration laws, students who wanted to stay in the country after graduation could get an additional 12-month visa to work if they had a student visa, called an F-1, or 18 months if they had a J-1, which is generally given to students who receive scholarships from outside sources. F-1 students pay for their education.
Potts said a company needed to show that it searched for U.S. citizens that met minimum qualifications for the job. If it didn't find a qualified U.S. citizen, hiring a foreign citizen would be justified.
But Potts said in most cases, proving that the company could not find a U.S.
citizen for the job wasn't an easy task
Hovgaard said in today's economy it was easier for business owners not to hire people from other countries.
"Sponsoring...work visas costs them money," she said. Hovgaard said today's job market made it even harder for international students to stay in the United States.
"There are limited options unless you choose grad school,"she said. "It's kind of rough, and if you don't find a job, you've got to leave. That adds pressure."
Federico Carranza-Kopper, San Jose, Costa Rica, senior, has a J-1 visa. Carranza-Kopper said that his goal was to get some experience in international business and finance in the United States and then return to his country after 18 months of training. He said if he could not find a job, he would return to Costa Rica without the experience. Carranza-Kopper said he was satisfied with the work visa policy, but he thought the U.S. authorities should create more options for students who wanted to stay in the country.

Documentary profiles minority live in 60s
Academy Award nominated film shows life, culture and history of Asian Americans
一
By Maggie Koerth Kansan staff writer
As a child, Renee Tajima-Pena traveled with her parents across America. Tajima-Pena, an Asian American, remembered the profound feeling of loneliness she felt during those trips.
"You'd cross five, six states and never see another Asian face. I think we were the attraction even though we were out looking for the sites," she said about people staring at her family.

Tajima-Pena
director
About 20 students were able to view the movie Tajima-Pena, an Academy Award nominee, made based on those experiences last night at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Tajima-Pena said the movie, My America: or Honk if You Love Buddha, was about how the Asian-American experience in America had changed since her childhood.
"When I was growing up, Asian Americans were a really tiny, tiny minority and we all had a similar family history," she said.
"But then there is this new generation of immigrants who came during the 1960s, 70s and 80s who came from many different places and who have had a totally different experience."
She said those changes had affected
Renee Tejima-Pena, director of My America, Honk if You Love Buddha, speaks to students about her film career.
"Kids who grow up now don't experience as much overt racism and cultural misunderstanding," she said.
"Back when I was taking those vacations with my parents you would never have seen an Asian living in Kansas," she said. "The fact that there you are even able to hold an Asian Festival here shows how far we've come."
American culture. Asian-American identity and the process of growing up Asian in the United States.
The movie was shown as a part of Asian Festival, the annual event sponsored by Asian American Student Union.
One of the biggest changes for Asians in America, Tajima-Pena said, was where they lived.
Tajima-Pena was nominated for an Academy Award in 1989 for her movie Who Killed Vincent Chen? a film about a Detroit hate crime.

Assistant professor of geography Barbara Shortridge studies how food is related to geography in the United States. Shortridge sat in her office amongst food memorabilia yesterday.
SARA SHEPHERD/KANSAN
By Adam Pracht Kansan staff writer
Southerners love grits, northerners are crazy about lutefisk and apple pie is as American as food comes—maybe. Barbara Shortridge, assistant professor of geography, is gathering scientific evidence about regional eating habits to find out what Americans really eat.
Shortridge said food was one way a region identified itself.
"Everybody has to belong to something and brag about something," Shortridge said. "And I think a lot of times, people use food for that."

Supplement a possible health risk
By Summer Lewis Kansan staff writer
The popular herbal sedative, kava kava, is being investigated by the Food and Drug Administration because it could cause liver damage.
The sedative - advertised as a stress, anxiety and insomnia reliever - has been found in several cases in the United States and Europe to cause medical problems possibly associated with its use.
"Liver toxicity usually occurs with very high doses of kava, but there were also reports of liver toxicity with short-term use of normal doses," said Cathy Thrasher, pharmacist in charge at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
She said most patients have had their liver enzymes return to normal but not all.
The exact dangers are unknown.
Thrasher said the kava kava was banned in Germany and Switzerland.
"Even one company in the U.S.
Kava kava history and facts
Kava kave, a member of the peppen family, has long been used as a ceremonial drink in the South Pacific.
In 2000, sales of kava kava in pill form reached $30 million.
On Feb. 11, the Food and Drug Administration began investigating the safety of kava kava.

Kabran Chapek, herb buyer at the Community Mercantile Co-Op, 901 Iowa St., said the store would continue to sell kava kava until the FDA banned the herbal supplement.
"It has become very popular because people are taking it for many different reasons and in many different forms," Chapek said.
Roche, has recalled its products with kava," Thrasher said.

Kava kava is grown in Polynesian islands, he said.

Polynesians prepare a drink with the herb by combining the fresh root with water in coconut shells.
Kava kava drinks are sold in bars in Hawaii just as alcohol is sold in pubs and bars in the continental states, he said.
Even in the United States, there have been people pulled over by the police for driving under the influence of kava kava, he said.
"It is so relaxing that the side effects are similar to marijuana or alcohol," Chapek said. "The positive thing is that it is not habit forming or addictive. It is pretty safe here in the forms that the Merc sells it."

"Root powder in capsules is the least potent, then extract powder in capsules, then the spray and extract liquid is the most potent," Chapek said.
"We sell lots of every form of kava kava."
He said the different forms offered different levels of potency.

said she started using kava kava
There are many varieties of kava kava displayed at The Community Mercantile Co-op, 901 Mississippi St.
because her boyfriend used it.
"It is very relaxing and is kind of a dietary supplement because it can give you tons of energy." Macpherson said.
"Actually, the real reason that we used it is because it enhances sexual pleasure."
She said she thought that kava kava helped a person's sex life and that it made men become aroused more quickly.
"I don't know how it does it and what it does,but it is amazing," Macpherson said.
She said even though kava kava was wonderful for sex, she would stop using it if the FDA proved that it was dangerous.

Reporter dead in Pakistan
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl is dead, the State Department said yesterday, a month after the journalist was abducted by Islamic extremists in Pakistan.
Pakistani authorities said a videotape indicated Pearl, kidnapped in the port city of Karachi on Jan. 23, had been killed. Journal spokesman Steve Goldstein said he did not know if a body had been recovered.

"The recorded video contained scenes showing Mr. Pearl
Pearl was abducted after arranging to interview the leader of a radical Muslim faction with purported ties to the al-Qaida terrorist network.
Pakistani police have seized several suspects.

Veteran recalls war through art
By Mike Gilligan Kansan staff writer
Abe Osheroff, an 87-year-old Spanish Civil War veteran, had a moment of silence during his presentation yesterday. The silence was for the victims of the war the United States is waging on Afghanistan.
"The damage we are doing in Afghanistan is almost beyond American comprehension," Osheroff said. "In a few years I think we will see that a lot of hanky-panky went on
under the American flag during Bush's administration."
About 150 people attended Osheroff's presentation in the Spencer Museum of Art about the Spanish Civil War, which included a movie he directed entitled Art in the Struggle for Freedom. A question-and-answer session followed.
The film is a 27-minute documentary about the war, which Osheroff volunteered to fight in. The war, a battle against fascism in Europe, lasted from 1936 to 1939. He said he

was one of 3,000 American volunteers. Osheroff was a member of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade.
His film focuses on the various forms of art and artists that flourished during the war. The film included posters, postcards and poems from the era read by different scholars.
Osheroff, who also served in World War II, said art was important in the war because many Spanish people were illiterate. He also art could capture emotions better.
Osheroff also talked about the important role women played in the war.
"History cannot tell the whole story of what happened," Osheroff said. "To demonstrate the passion and emotions, we need art."
The Spanish economy would have fallen apart if it wasn't for women taking the jobs of men who went off to war, Osheroff said.
"They were very active in the health services," he said. "They were caring for injured people on the front line and many of them died in duty."
The American government was unhappy with the men who volunteered to go to Spain, Osheroff said.
"When we came back we couldn't get a passport to travel or a decent job," Osheroff said. "But it was a small price to pay for fighting fascism."
Matt Nelson, Wichita sophomore, said he liked the presentation.
"He seemed like a really normal guy for all the atrocities he has seen," Nelson said. "And I can respect his views on Afghanistan even though they are contrary to popular belief."

Corpses continue to surface in Georgia
The Associated Press
NOBLE, Ga. — He was in line to be deacon of his church. He coached youth football. He was a young man respected in this small community as the heir to a family business.
And yet, Ray Brent Marsh is now at the center of a ghastly discovery that is growing by the day in the pine woods of northern Georgia;
Hundreds of decaying or mummified bodies have been found stacked in pits, caskets and above-ground vaults on the Marsh family property behind their business, the Tri-State Crematory.
Authorities trying to comprehend the tragedy have speculated that the 28-year-old Marsh was greedy, or just lazy, that he simply left bodies wherever it was convenient. Townspeople are struggling to understand how he could have done such a thing and lived such an outwardly normal, respectable life.
Pearl Goodloe, a longtime neighborhood friend, said that maybe Marsh was just desensitized to death after so many years around the crematorium, which was run for years by his parents.
"If you grow up around it," she said, "you're comfortable with it."
marsh took over the business six years ago, and people who live around the crematorium said they watched him coming and going on their narrow country road in this county of 30,000. They figured all along he was
making a good living, minding his own business and his family's.
"His whole family, they are outstanding people," said the Rev. William Stamper, pastor of New Home Missionary Baptist Church, where the Marsh family have long been members.
At the church, Marsh was a candidate to become a deacon and was always quick to organize games, to be the master of ceremonies at church events.
Often, Goodloe said, the pastor would announce to the small congregation: "We are missing Brother Brent because he had to work today."
People who knew him from the city recreation department, where Marsh coached youth football and basketball, said he was always good with children. He has a daughter of his own, just 2 weeks old.
At the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Marsh was a linebacker on the football team from 1992 to 1995.
"He was just one of those middle-of-the-road, dependable kind of kids," said Neal Magnassen, assistant athletic director. "He wasn't an All-American, but neither was he a kid who sat on the end of the bench and never got to play."
Now, white-shrouded forensic technicians are swarming the shores of the small lake on the Marsh property — the same place Marsh played as a child, the same shores where he got married. Investigators plan to drain the lake to see if there are bodies at the bottom.
"I still like Brent. I still consider him my friend." Johnson
keep going on."
Johnny Johnson former classmate
He remains in jail, refusing to talk. On Thursday, nearly a week after his arrest, he hired a lawyer, Ken Poston, to defend him on charges of theft by deception. At Poston's request, a judge issued a gag order in the case. Poston had no comment on the charges.
Johnny Johnson, who attended elementary school with Marsh, said of the gruesome discoveries: "I'm thinking that it is just the way he was brought up to do it. I don't see how you can do that ... and sleep."
Marsh lived with his wife and newborn in a one-story stone house, not far from the crematorium. Marsh's wife, who works in Chattanooga, has been staying elsewhere with their newborn daughter since his arrest.
Marsh's father, 75-year-old Ray, who attends church in a wheelchair, has been implicated by authorities who say some of the discarded bodies have been on the property 15 years, possibly longer.
Marsh's 70-year-old mother, Clara Marsh, is a career educator, a former Walker County Citizen of the Year and Democratic Party chairwoman. Sherif Steve
Wilson said she was involved in the business but not in a "handson" role.
The elder Marsh got into the business because he had a backhoe. He quit his job as a postal worker to dig graves. He expanded his business to include cemetery vault sales and eventually opened a crematory. In 1982, he ordered a brick-lined oven that would burn bodies at 2,300 degrees.
Families paid funeral homes in Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee between $200 to $1,500 for cremations that for the most part never happened, according to investigators. The bodies were discarded and families were given boxes filled with a mix of dirt, cement and wood ashes.
"I still like Brent. I still consider him my friend," Johnson said. "You've got to forgive people and keep going on."
That won't be so easy for a lot of families.
Marlene Elsass of Birchwood, Tenn., whose husband's body was taken to the crematory following his 2000 death in a tractor accident, said she was angry that charges against Marsh are not more serious. Each of the 16 counts carries up to 15 years in prison.
"They need to do the worst they can do." a sobbing Elsass said. "He has done the worst thing that could possibly be done."

Acclaimed stage play coming to Lawrence
By Lauren Beatty Kansan staff writer
A play about professor who shuts out her family and friends to focus on academia is coming to the Lawrence Community Theatre next week.
The Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Wit, is the story of the life and death of Vivian Bearing, an English professor whose studies focus on the 17th century metaphysical poet John Donne. The play, by Margaret Edson, had its world debut in 1995, but won the Pulitzer in 1999.
Penny Weiner, the play's director, said Bearing had an illness and used her wit to help get her through tough times while in the hospital.
"She's diagnosed with terminal ovarian cancer and the play is about the final phases of her life and the choices she's made." Weiner said.
Weiner said Bearing came to terms with her illness, the rigorous life she's led and the fact that she shut out friends and family to pursue academia.
This is the second time Weiner has directed *Wit*. She staged the play last fall at Washburn University in Topeka, where she is a professor of theater. Weiner said Mary Doveton, director of the Theatre, 1501 New Hampshire St., saw the play at Washburn and asked her to bring it to Lawrence.
"I thought it would be interesting to adapt it to this stage," Weiner said. "It's just another
chance to play with it. There's no reason to do plays except for love."
Sandra Gray, associate professor of anthropology at the University of Kansas, plays the lead role. Gray said she was involved with professional theater for 13 years before returning to school and becoming a professor. She played Vivian in the Washburn production and reprised her role for the community theater.
"The play has so many levels, it's very complex," Gray said. "You take away from it what baggage you came with."
Mark Mackie, Lawrence sophomore, has a small role in the play and said he got involved with the community theater through a friend who encouraged him to audition.
"It's very touching," he said. "If anybody has been in the hospital, they'll identify with this play. Even if you haven't, you'll still like it."
The play will be presented at 8 p.m. on March 1, 2, 8, 9, 15 and 16; at 7:30 p.m. on March 7 and 14; and 2:30 p.m. on March 3 and 10. Tickets for shows on Friday and Saturday are $14 for students and senior citizens and $15 for adults. The shows on Thursday and Sunday cost $11 for students and seniors and $12 for adults.

Housing resource center: friend or foe?
Tell Senate not to spend your money frivolously on center
A few weeks ago, I signed an apartment lease. To find an apartment, I looked in the yellow pages of the Lawrence phone book. I looked at the classifieds in the University Daily Kansan COMMENTARY

and the Laurence Journal-World. I looked on the Internet at apartment search pages. I walked into Dillons and picked up a free Lawrence Apartment Search Guide. Then, I called complexes
to find out rent and deposit charges.
I talked to landlords and complex managers and found a place with a polite manager, clean apartments and firmly-attached balconies.
Apparently, some student senators think you are too stupid or too lazy to do these things. If you are mature enough to live off campus you can do these things on your own, but Student Senate wants to hold your hand. And it wants to use your money to do it, money that could pay your soon-to-increase tuition or your rent.
A Kansan article "New center to help students find housing," Dec. 3) quoted Kyle Browning, student body vice president, as having said that the center would help students to find apartments and would tell them how to set up utilities. The center would cost about $17,000.
Ben Burton, student senate executive committee chairman, said in a story in the Kansan ("Senate creates housing board," Feb. 5) that the money would come from the Reserve Account — basically, extra funds that hadn't already been appropriated elsewhere.
enewhere. The center would also advise students on how to set up utilities. This must be the most uncomplicated thing I have ever done.Call the gas, electric, water and phone companies (numbers listed in that handy phone book) and tell them you want service. As long as you know your name, address and Social Security number, they will walk you through the rest of the process. You hardly have to do anything to get bills in the mail.I promise.
The center would also help students who have problems with landlords. Legal Services for Students already advises students with landlord problems or lease problems. None of the information Student Senate will compile will be new. None of it will be exclusive to the housing center. None of it will be information that you cannot find on your own, and $17,000 is a lot of money to spend compiling information easily obtained elsewhere.
So, what about that $17,000? Since Senate has extra money, I'm sure we could suggest more worthy things for them to do with it. Tuition increases are a hot topic. Student senators have been trying to persuade the Board of Regents against big tuition increases and could probably use that money to fight

Last semester, after a year of researching, planning and perfecting, Student Senate put plans into motion for an Off-Campus Living Resource Center. Though in no way unique to the University of Kansas—many universities have such centers—there is nothing like the Resource Center in our community.
More than 20,000 students live off campus. Many of them have learned hard lessons that could have been avoided had someone been there to answer their questions.

rentable facilities and recommendations of which landlords deserve your business will be available.
There will be a director to point you in the direction of services the Off-Campus Living Resource Center plans to work with, such as Legal Services for Students, KU on Wheels and the Center for Community Outreach. There is nowhere, on or off campus, you can currently go and get this information in one place. And while some of it will come from other KU offices, other things will be brand-new, such as printed housing guides to take with you as you house or arment hunt.
For the first time, off-campus students will have a version of their own resident assistant. Instead of only knowing about Lawrence living based on personal experiences, every student will have access to institutional knowledge. What could be bad about avoiding slumlords once and for all, getting the best deals on must-have services and saving money? Keep your eyes out, and get those questions ready.

EDITORIAL
We all know more about the tuition increase now than we did several months ago. An alarming number of students didn't know about the planned increase when the administration produced the initial proposals, and what they did know was sketchy at best.
Student activists shed light on tuition increase mystery
happening Student Senate has made significant progress in its fight for the facts. By organizing activities such as a protest at the Kansas capitol last week, and distributing handbills to people waiting in line for basketball games, Senate is providing information about the tuition proposals of which most students aren't even aware.
This is due, in part, to the efforts of various student groups who feel it is important that everyone have the opportunity to know the truth and have clear ideas about what is actually happening.
Recently more people are better informed, have begun expressing their opinions on the matter, which is exactly what needs to happen right now.
The Board of Regents will make its final decisions regarding the proposals in April. The date was pushed back from a previously announced date of mid-March. Whether this has anything to do with students expressing their views is unclear, but it doesn't hurt groups planning more activities.
There was an apparent need for something better, something that stated the facts in a clear and simple manner, addressing student issues and involvement. So far, Student Senate and other student groups have done exactly that.
The University set up meetings late last semester to inform students on the issue, but didn't draw large numbers of people. The meetings simply outlined complex proposals without
It is not a given that the Regents take everything said with completely open ears. But if no one speaks up, then no student perspective will go into the decision making process, and any negative results will be blamed on the lack of interest on the part of students.
addressing the implications or the concerns of those in attendance.
People are speaking up, however and opinions are making their way across campus and across the Board of Regents' desks. That makes a difference.

The article about the GWAR band was really disgusting.I would appreciate no blood on our papers again.
I just wanted to say that if you guys are going to spend all the Free for All talking about the basketball players, you should move the Free for All section to the sports page, so I can safely ignore it. Thank you.
The GWAR cover of the University Daily Kansan is the worstthing I've seen since the Robert Chamberlain column. Come on Kansan, get it together.
Just a random thought: sorority girls, stop using random in every sentence.
To my roommate in Lewis Hall, your birthday was in October. Time to take down the birthday decorations.
I just wanted to let that cute guy that sits behind me in history know that I would love to get to know you, so don't be so shy, and talk to me already.
Me and my roommate just took it to the street, and I kicked his ass.
I'm reading the Free for All online right now. To the person who said we need ski lifts instead of buses, I don't think that's going to work. Kansas is flat. Come to Colorado where there's mountains.
I just think it sucks how I went to Robinson tonight and had to pay 10 bucks to park just because of the basketball game.
图
Yeah, my room just ate my remote again.
Got stamina *cause I come from Canada.
I saw the Asian Student Association doing fake sumo wrestling in front of the Union today. What the hell was that?
We are No. 1. Two is not a winner, and three no one remembers.
How come old people can sit in the student section, but students can't sit in the old-person section? Change the seating around already.
I love waking up early in the morning, and the first thing I see on the paper is a woman who is not even dressed.
is it me or does Aaron Miles look kind of like Rudy Huxable?
Chris Wristen, I don't have a blue T-shirt. Is there somewhere I can get one for free, or can you buy one for me?
All the comments in the Kansan are just so random.
The Kansas starting five is the best starting five in the nation. Jeff Carey has no business on a basketball court.
Ooh that's right, they all suck.
Old people, basketball groupies, muscle cars, toast and John Travolta. What do these things have in common?
I really think they should retire Chris Zerbe's number for all he'd done for Kansas basketball, and while they're at it maybe they should bring Chenowith and retire his jersey. No. 44 would look really good hanging from the rafters.
How many mainstream kids does it take to change a light bulb?
Zero, their parents pay for somebody to do it for them.
I guess Chenowith was right about one thing: Shane Power and Jake Sullivan really don't have any business playing Division One basketball.
I'd just like to say that Zerbe is way hotter than Boschee.
Go Kk!

Who is this straight guy that hates everything about Britney Spears? Who is he?
It seems like you guys are taking forever to get these things printed. It's approximately 10:30 p.m. on Monday night. Now let's see when you show up. Thanks.
I think that instead of suspending the color guard we should suspend Boston and St. Johns for suspending tonight's game. I like KU, Hee, hee.

Why would anyone put GWAR on the front page of the paper when the newspaper is supposed to be newswor thy?
Dude, you're never getting your football stool back.
Who else thinks that Miles should grow out a huge 'fro for next season?

We're No. 1. We're No. 1. We're No. 1. Good job, boys.
Bosch, you're finally a Big 12 champion. Come on baby, cut that hair. Shave it for Senior Night.
The Deita Chi basketball Team Three is very solid this year.
Insult me all that you want now that I have the monkey.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
When does war become justified?
Maggie Koerth
Kansan staff writer
P
The goal of many religions is to provide answers, particularly to questions of morality and the divine. In order to gain a better understanding of what people believe, the Kansan features a Question of the Week where we ask members of various religions a moral or ethical question. We hope the answers will illuminate the differences and sometimes surprising similarities between the beliefs of different people.
Melanie Hadley
LINDSEY KILIANY/KANSAN
a. Is war ever morally justified? How does your religion affect your views on war?
LINDSEY KILIANYKANSAN
Charlotte E. Wilkinson
A: Melanie Hadley, President of KU Christian Science Organizations
"Though the destruction of life is never justified, the act of war in defense of one's country and its principles is sometimes the nearest right course of action, when one of the parties involved refuses to agree to peaceful means of communication, understanding and resolution. At the same time that most of us hate the thought of killing, it would also be wrong to let evil actions go unchecked and ignored just because the ideal of a peaceful solution could not be demonstrated at the time. In this sense, war is morally justified, though it should not be seen as either the first or
the best answer to resolving conflicts. The question must always be asked, 'Are the principles being fought for worthy of defense, and, if so, does the chosen means of defense serve a larger plan for peace, even though the means themselves may not be peaceful?'
In the words of the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy. 'The First Commandment in
the Hebrew Decalogue — 'Thou shalt have no other gods before me' — obeyed, is sufficient to still all strife. God is the divine Mind. Hence the sequence: 'Had all peoples one Mind, peace would reign.' Christian Scientists pray daily to know that God is governing all nations, and that when it is universally understood that God is the Father and Mother of all men, war of every kind will cease.'
A: Charlotte E. Wilkinson, Sanders, Ariz., junior at Haskell Indian Nations University
Navajo/ Three Affiliated Tribes
"As an indigenous person, I am compelled to respond to the inquiry based on the historical anamnesis of American Indians. Militarilyspeaking, they have the premiere record of service per capita when compared to other ethnic groups. These warriors possessed innate traits of mental, emotional, spiritual and physical balance, for the battle was for the piety they beheld for their people and their homeland. Historically, they were not always hailed, venerated or remembered.
Warriors exist now; in this contemporaneous era, and are fighting as we speak. Only, you may not refer to them as warriors, but as students. The battlefields we contest upon are in the academics that empower us, rather than diminish us, as they were once established to do. The warrior spirit thrives in us, thereby compelling us to fearlessly engage in opportunities that were created by their heroism.
So, do I perceive war as morally justifiable? Yes, as our war is against poverty, coercive acculturation and the prevention of seemingly perpetual injustices against our people."

FOOD
She said apple pie was the most common dessert in the United States.
Shortridge also plotted what she called the grits line, a division marking where people identified the cornmeal dish by the name grits.
She said the line provided a good indication of where the South began.
Her research also indicated that serving Mexican food as a home-
cooked meal was not restricted to border states, but had moved northward throughout the Rocky Mountain region.
Shortridge shares her expertise in a class offered each fall called Geography and American Foodways.
Shawna Wright, Wichita graduate student, took the class in fall of 1999 and was excited by Shortridge's eating habit research.
"It's something that you do three times a day." Wright said. "It's crucial, but it's
something that gets overlooked all the time."
Students in the class write essays about their own experiences with food, including a restaurant review.
Wright said that she enjoyed Friday classes when everyone was supposed to bring something to eat.
"I enjoyed it a lot," she said. "It's an area that has only begun to be explored in geography, but I think it's a valid one."
"It's something that you do three times a day. It's crucial, but it's something that gets overlooked all

Lacrosse club opens in tourney
By Stephanie Goettsch Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's lacrosse team will open its season tomorrow against unfamiliar opponents and with a roof over its head for the first time.
The team will be one of four at the Minnesota State University-Moorhead Tournament, in Northfield, Minn., this weekend.
Although the team formed six years ago, it's still trying to get its feet on the ground.
"Last year we went 4-5, which was one of our best finishes. We've been slowly improving and this year will be a continuation of growth." coach Dave Wiley said.
Jesse Bird, Olathe junior and three-year team veteran, said the losing record was partially because of a lack of team members.
Ten players consistently participated in games last year, although
the sport requires 12 on the field. This season participation is an asset rather than a downfall.
"Now we have over 20 players, and a lot of the new freshmen have previous experience," Bird said. "We really just want to mix in those freshmen and make everything work. If we can do that, we can win."
The team wants to attain a top two finish in its six-team league and advance to the Division III regional tournament, but its long-term goal is nationals.
"The team is unanimous that there's a championship at the end of the season and that's where we want to be," Natasha Trella. Denver freshman, said.
Trefla is one of the many underclassmen who will be vital to team success according to Wiley. That group also includes freshmen Lindsey Johnson, St. Louis, and Debbie Clarke, Barrington, Ill..
"Since the first time they took the field this fall, they've had a huge impact on the level of play. The veterans are the talkers and leaders of the team. The freshmen lead by example," Wiley said. "Lindsey will probably carry a good deal of the offensive load and be one of the leading scorers."
The team maintains a positive outlook despite its inexperience.
"We've improved every single game last fall, and I think we have even more potential and ability than we let on," said team captain Amy Fortney, St. Louis senior.
"We're communicating better and learning how to adapt to each other's strengths and weaknesses."
Trelfa said the juniors and seniors have had a huge role in team cohesion.
"the support and advice they give is phenomenal. They are always ready, able and willing to give help, on and off the field,"

Team confidence has also grown because of last semester's full schedule.

Diver finishes second at Big 12 championships
By Ali Brox Kansan sportswriter
By Ali Brox
Senior diver Rebecca McFall finished second in the one meter board at the Big 12 Diving Championships on Wednesday.
It was the first conference final for both Stringham and Miseika.
Kansas had two other divers — juniors Patti Stringham and Kristi Misejka — make it to the finals of the competition.
"The ladies did a great job today," said Kevin Lawrence, diving coach. "They have improved so much and have a lot more confidence in themselves. I'm very happy, and this is a good start for the team."
McFall scored a 270.65, just behind Meghan Zack of Texas A&M, who won the event with a score of 272.65.
"I really didn't come out with
any expectations," McFall said. "I usually dive better on the three-meter board, so I just wanted to come out and have fun and be consistent."
Other Kansas diving results included: Stringham, 252.15; Misejka, 245.95; and Sarah Bliss, 201.05.
The diving competition resumes today in the three-meter board. McFall hopes the team can build on its good start.
The swimming portion of the conference championships began yesterday with the 200-meter free style relay, 500-meter free style, 200 individual medley, 50 free and the 400 medley relay. Results were unavailable at press time.

Team nears end of rough road
By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter
Bv Jessica Scott
Maybe a week off is what the Kansas women's basketball team needs right now.
After a 65-40 loss to Kansas State on Monday, the Jayhawks finally received their bye week at a much-needed point, albeit a late one in their season.
The Jayhawks will find out tomorrow if this week of rest has been good medicine for their ailing season when they travel to No.11 Iowa State (19-6, 7-6 Big 12 Conference) Saturday.
The road has not been friendly to Kansas this season.
After its last road win on Dec. 29 during the Saint Joseph's classic in Philadelphia, Kansas has faced a relentless conference schedule, playing a ranked opponent almost every week.
The Jayhawks (5-22, 0-14) have a 2-13 record when playing away from Allen Fieldhouse this season. In games at Kansas State and Missouri, the Jayhawks played strong for one half but failed to put together a winning game. Tomorrow is their final chance to pick up a
rare road win in the Big 12.
"It been a struggle for us, there's no question about it," Kansas co pastor Marian Washington said. "The rest of the way we're still going to be facing nationally ranked teams with Iowa State on their turf and Texas."
The Cyclones won their first meeting with Kansas 75-50 earlier this month.
Sophomore forward Sharonne Spencer tries to get past the defense of an Oklahoma State player. The Jayhawks have two opportunities left to log a win in conference play.
handing the 'Hawks their 10th straight loss. Since then, the Jayhaws have lost four more in a row, but Washington said she still hoped to pick up one of her final two regular season games.
"We're going to work through this," she said. "We've got two games remaining for the seniors and at least one more game in Kansas City, and we'll try to finish it up."
KANSAS 2 VIRLS 2
After her team's lopsided win last week on the Jayhawks' home court, Kansas State coach Deb Patterson said she understood the struggles that Washington and her team have faced this year.
"I know how hard this league is, and I can sympathize a great deal with what they're going through," Patterson said. "I don't
think you could ever anticipate what KU has gone through this year."
The Kansas men's and women's bowling teams are competing this weekend at the Hoosier Classic at Indiana.
Many top teams will be taking part in the event, which is the final tournament of the season that affects scoring for sectionals.
BOWLING
Seeding for sectional qualifiers in either Oklahoma City or Sacramento, Calif., on March 23 and 24 will be announced next week.

Unexpected Hughes takes gold in skating
The Associated Press
"It's something I've always dreamed of," said Sarah Hughes, who was third at worlds last year behind Michelle Kwan and Russian Irina Slutskaya. "Just to be able to skate tonight. I didn't want to skate for a gold medal. I went out and had a great time. I said, 'This is the Olympics. I want to do the best.'"
And she is the best, a spot Kwan had in her grasp. But the 21-year-old Californian couldn't reach out and grab it. Hughes earned the gold while Slutskava took the silver.
"I made a few mistakes," said Kwan, the bronze medalist, "but I'm just going to keep on going
strong. It just wasn't meant to be."
Nor was it meant to be for Sasha Cohen, who was third after the short program. The precocious 17-year-old two-footed a triple lutz and fell on a triple toe. Her routine lacked footwork, as well, and she seemed to realize her medal chances were gone as soon as she left the ice. The American took fourth place.
Hughes is the seventh American, third in the last four games — and the most unexpected of all
"Nah," he said with a laugh. "It comes with the territory."
you know, it boils down to the last couple of home games, so I think there will be some more of those chants coming up."
Newspapers from Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York and Connecticut have sent reporters to Allen Fieldhouse to write about the No. 1 Jayhawks (24-2 overall, 13-0 Big 12) and their star player. A Sports Illustrated writer traveled with the team for a week in January. And don't forget the nearly 30-minute interview sessions he has with local media after every home game. But does any of this bother the effervescent Gooden?
Fans aren't the only ones singing Gooden's praises. The Richmond, Calif., native received minimal national attention before the season, but now he's hotter than a Wescoe Hall classroom in the summer. He played the piano on Fox Sports' "The Best Damn Sports Show Period," talked basketball with Jim Rome on his nationally syndicated sports radio show and his childhood was the subject of an in-depth report on ESPN's "SportsCenter" less than a week ago.

"When we win, that's when the awards will come," he said. "I can see that."
GOODEN
Gooden says he knows the awards are out there and that his name is being bandied about for many of them, but it's not the personal accolades he's after.
It has begun to pay dividends, too. Gooden is a finalist for the prestigious Wooden and Naismith awards, given to college basketball's best players, and his name has all but been engraved on a first-team All-American plaque. He has long since surpassed Missouri's Kareem Rush, the preseason favorite for Big 12 player of the year, as the conference's top player because of superior stats and the Jayhawks' better record.
When Gooden was a freshman, Williams said the forward seemed to do something every other minute in practice that upset and frustrated the coach. But that's not the case anymore.
"I think it's a combination of things," Williams said. "But I think the biggest thing is that Drew has matured so much and understands the game so much better now than he did as a freshman. I think that's the whole key."

TRACK
CONTINIUED FROM PAGE 10A
The men will be led by NCAA record holder Scott Russell in the 35-pound weight throw. He leads the Big 12 in the event by more than nine feet.
The men will load up the 1000 meters as well, as seniors Brian Blachly and Derec Lacio will be joined by sophomore John DiCalogero and freshman Brandon Hodges.
All four set personal bests in the 800 meters at Iowa State two weeks ago, but Hodges injured his leg during that same meet and was limited in training in the two weeks afterward. He was able to run a workout Wednesday in practice and said he felt strong
enough to compete.
Another athlete who is battling injury is junior high jumper T.J. Hackler. He said he was battling an injury to his planting foot that had been bothering him for the past couple weeks.
He jumped 7 3/4 last season but hasn't cleared seven feet yet in 2002.
But he said the event was wide open this season and was looking forward to the competition.
"This is Big 12s, and it's time to step up." Hackler said.

Settling into a new environment requires more change, but eventually you'll get it just right. That's when you'll find more time for romance in your life. True love can be expensive, though. Don't spend more than you can afford. Work together and pool your resources so that you can get what you both want.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a day.
How long has it been since you spent
the whole weekend at home with your
family? A person who doesn't like loud
noises deserves more of your attention.
Today's Birthday (Feb. 22).
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7.
Save some money to play with this weekend, but set aside enough to pay an old debt. It's amazing how good you'll feel after that's done. It may mean you can't afford an extra treat, but you'll have made a wise choice.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 7.
Don't forget your the main objective.
Hint: Your objective is not to impress people with how smart you are. That will happen naturally. Use your skills to
HOROSCOPES
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7.
Get those letters written and bills paid.
Be sure to schedule a break, too. Dinner
for two at an elegant restaurant,
followed by a romantic movie, would be
perfect.
raise your income and your status.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 6.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 6.
There's something nice that you'dlike to buy a friend, but can you afford it?
Alone, no, but if you get some other friendship to pitch in, perhaps you can.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 7.
This day gets better as it goes along.
Plan to join friends and your date for a favorite activity if you can.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22). Today is a 7.
Better not relax quite yet. There may be
a review of your work. Did you finish the
job yet? No more personal phone calls!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 7.
This will be a wonderful weekend to travel — after you finish an important job. You may not have been given this
job yet, so hurry and do all the jobs you already have.
爱
Sagittarius(Nov.22-Dec. 21).Today is a6 There's a lot of confusion, but don't lose sight of your goals. Watch for good deals on items you still have to buy. Discuss impending purchases with your partner to avoid arguments later.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 7.
No point in becoming a workful心. Finish up the job quickly so that you can devote more time to personal matters.
Somebody's waiting.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 7.
Don't let the fun and games intrude
upon your workday, or you'll never get
done on time. And try not to take the job home. You already have enough at
home to keep you busy.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 7.
Hurry to put on the finishing touches so that you can entertain tonight and/or this weekend. Tidy things up, and buy a bouquet for your dining room table. Make things nice for a very special guest.

COMMENTARY
Senior plays through her hardships
Nikki White stands an imposing 6-foot-3 inches tall. The starting center on the Kansas women's basketball team, White bumps, battles, bruises and pounds her way in the paint against the best of the Big 12 Conference's post players.
But taking a gander at White's Kansas career, as well as her basketball beginnings, reveals that her strongest muscles aren't the ones she uses to oppose her competitors. White's strongest muscle is her heart.
White's resolve was tested early in her life, as she was never ordinary. As a towering, shy, seventh grader (White stood 6-2 at the age of 13), the thought of playing basketball had never entered her mind. Until that year, her peers urged her to play.
White glances back at that first year of basketball as her toughest. She had no coordination, no skills, no drive. A pretty auspicious start for a future collegiate player. White could've given up, but that's not her style, not even at that age.
The following summer. White's AAU coach, Eddie Clinton, worked with her every single day, honing what he saw as a basketball flower waiting to bloom. White calls Clinton her biggest basketball influence.
"I still talk to him to this day," White said. "I improved so much that summer. He gave me so much confidence, and from then on, I felt there was no limit to what I could do."
White has endured more pain and heartbreak than any human being deserves to, yet she pushes forward. Beginning in high school, White's left leg has been problematic.
The limb has been operated on eight times. No, that's not a misprint. That's eight surgeries, which means eight rehabs. Yet, White's heart and drive wouldn't allow her to quit.
She arrived at Kansas with so much promise. She chose the Jayhawks instead of perennial powers Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Texas and Rutgers. But her career has been filled with disappointment. Her health, until this year, never allowed White to play a full season.
An ankle injury appeared to have prematurely ended her career last season, but a successful surgical procedure last spring gave her renewed hope.
Sonow, as a 22 year-old, fifth-yearsenior. White enters her last few weeks as a Jayhawk. Though Kansas is suffering through its worst conference season in school history, White stays upbeat.
She's grasped the role of a team leader, attempting to relay her experience to her younger teammates. She's remained healthy, played in all but one game and averaged a career-high 7.2 points per game.
Important to White throughout this losing season, laugher has remained an integral part of the team's character. White said every day on the team this year had been a joy whether it had been going out with the girls or hearing sophomore Sharonne Spencer refer to her as "kickstand" for the thousandth time.
"It's tough because I'm not used to losing games, but I wouldn't trade this for anything in the world," White said. "I'm having the most fun this year, I just can't believe it will all be over soon."
Nikki, though it's almost over, be proud for how far your heart's taken you, because the journey would've been finished far sooner for most others.

Junior forward Drew Gooden celebrates the Jayhawks' conference championship win. Gooden is bound to be a top NBA draft pick this year if he decides to declare himself eligible for the draft, despite pleas from the student body for Gooden to return for his senior year at Kansas.
Fans beg Gooden not turn pro
By Doug Pacey Kansan sportswriter
Drew Gooden knew it was bound to happen and on Monday night it did.
When Roy Williams pulled Gooden from the game with eight minutes remaining in Kansas' 102-66 victory against Iowa State, Allen Fieldhouse erupted into a "One more year, one more year," chant, begging the junior to stay at Kansas for his final season.
When Gooden climbed the ladder to snip his strand of the net during the post-game Big 12 championship celebration, the crowd again broke into the chant.
The last time such a thing was heard at the fieldhouse was during former Jayhawk All-American Paul Pierce's junior year in 1998. Pierce

decided to forego his senior season at Kansas, and Gooden has hinted that he will take the same route. The forward, who leads the Big 12 in scoring and rebounding with 20.7 points and 11.2 boards per game, has not been definite in his decision to dart to the NBA Draft.

The Kansas baseball team will face what is probably the toughest challenge to its undefeated mark this weekend.
weekend.
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee comes to Lawrence for a three-game series starting today at 3 p.m. at Hoglund Ballpark. The two teams also will play a doubleheader tomorrow starting at 1 p.m.
"We're going to have to play a little better to beat Wisconsin-Milwaukee," said coach Bobby Randall. "They return enough good players that we better respect them."
"We had a little bit of a letdown, except on the mound." Randall said.
Six Jayhawk pitchers combined to allow just one run on six hits in Wednesday's victory. With the short outings each pitcher logged against Newman, Randall said most of them should be ready to pitch this weekend.
Despite their 5-0 record, the Jayhawks' play has been less than perfect. They committed three errors defensively and struck out seven times in their 8-1 victory against Newman on Wednesday. Randall said he was happy about the win but the team's play needed to improve.
"Our pitchers are doing a lot better than we thought," junior infielder Brandon Shepard said. "They're really hanging in there and keeping us in the ball games."
Randall said the pitching would be the key to containing Wisconsin-Milwaukee, a team that has not started its season yet.
"They're going to be big, strong guys, he said, "and they're going to be swinging the bats."
The Jayhawks, winners of 10 straight dating back to last season, will look to three seniors to provide strong pitching performances in the series. Jeff Davis (1-0) will start today, and Dan Olson (2-0) and Jake Wright (1-0) will take the mound in tomorrow's doubleheader.
"Wisconsin-Milwaukee will be the best hitting team we've seen so far," Randall said. "We're not going to take them lightly."
Today's game will be the first between the Jayhawks and the Panthers.
- This weekend's three-game set was originally scheduled to be played today, tomorrow and Sunday. However, with the threat of inclement weather, Sunday's game was moved to tomorrow.

Indoor season comes to end for track team
Matt Norton
Kansan sportswriter
Can anyone catch Nebraska and Texas?
Those two schools have won every indoor team title since the Big 12 formed in 1997, and only the Iowa State men in 1997, the Texas A&M men in 1998 and 2001, and the Colorado men in 1999 have prevented a clean 1-2 sweep by the 'Huskers and the Longhorns.
That's what Big 12 Conference track and field teams are asking themselves as they head into this year's indoor championships at the Bob Devaney Center in Lincoln, Neb.
Kansas, which finished ninth in both the men's and women's divisions last season, is looking to move up in 2002
Nebraska is the defending men's and women's champion.
Coach Stan Redwine said his team was confident and relaxed going into the meet. He said he had told the team all the hard work for this season was finished.
"Now it's show time," he said.
For the women, the middle distance runners are expected to score in several events, led by seniors Katy Eisenmenger in the mile and Courtney Deutsch in 1000 meters, and sophomores Laura Lavoie in the 800 meters and Arrah Nielsen in the 1000.
Redwine said the Kansas coaches tallied what they thought both the men and women could score this weekend. He said if all went as planned, he saw both teams finishing around sixth.
A trio of freshmen are ranked high in the Big 12. Brooklyn Hann is third in the triple jump and eighth in the long jump. Kim Clark has the fourth-fastest time in the 600 yards, and Sondra Rauterkus enters the meet with the seventh-best high jump.
Both the 4x400-meter relay and the distance medley relay should provide big points for Kansas. The 4x400 is ranked fourth and the Distance Medley Relay is ranked first.

Mavericks receive Raef LaFrentz in trade
DALLAS — The Dallas Mavericks were working on a major deal with Denver just before the NBA trading deadline yesterday, receiving Nick Van Exel and Raef LaFrenz from the Nuggets
Neither team immediately announced the deal, but Tony Dutt, the agent for Van Exel, said Van Exel and Avery Johnson were headed to the Mavericks.
Juwan Howard, Tim Hardaway and Donnell Harvey were in the package going to the Nuggets. All three players' had their lockers cleaned out and their nameplates removed from above their stalls prior to the Mavericks' game against Boston.
Van Exel, the Nuggets' leading scorer with a 21.4 average, went public with his demand to be traded Dec. 8.
"He's ecstatic," Dutt said. "Avery Johnson is being moved as well. He and Avery are very close. I think it couldn't have worked out any better."
Dutt said Van Exel agreed to some deferrals in his current contract. He declined to provide details.

Vanilla Ice chills in Lawrence
By Jessica Tims Kansan staff writer
JOHN NOWAK/KANSAN
LULU
Rob VanWinkle sat silently in the back seat of an SUV on the way to his hotel Friday night. His silence was broken after a Z95.7 DJ announced Vanilla Ice would be performing in Lawrence that night.
"Yeah!" said VanWinkle, also known as Vanilla Ice. "I still love to hear that... whoa, look at that line."
Rob VanWinkle, also known as Vanilla Ice, bombards the crowd at Abe & Jake's Landing, 8 East Sixth St., with an aggressive mix of hip-hop. During the Friday night performance, he thanked the crowd for supporting him and said fans and artists should focus solely on making music rather than the advertising and money-making aspects.
His attention was stolen by a line of about 200 people winding through the parking lot of Abe and Jake's Landing, 8 East Sixth St., to hear him perform a mixture of rap and rock music.
A total of 1,000 people saw Van Winkle perform a sold-out show Friday.
VanWinkle provoked some of the ladies on stage to bare their chests to the audience.
Few obliged without help, but one girl, who had caught his eye early in the show, was not so easy to convince.
After following the girl around the stage, he took matters into his own hands and lifted the girl's tank top himself.
Elena Detrixhe, Salina junior, said she was bruised by people while trying to get on stage, but it was worth it to dance with Ice.
Detrixhe said the one downfall of
the show was its length.
"The show was way too short," she said. "It wasn't worth $12 for him just to come out and do what, like five songs."
Yet some fans left early.
"I am leaving," Cassie Gilmore, Pittsburg senior, said. "I just wanted to hear him sing' Ice, Ice Baby.' I don't need to see the rest of this."
Earlier in the day, VanWinkle entered the Kansas Union for an interview with KJHK radio station.
About 150 people, including college and high school students and even the Union cafeteria workers, mobbed the former rap star for pictures and autographs.
VanWinkle said he was not annoyed or aggravated about the herds of people swarming around him or the constant requests for his signature.
0He said he was just happy that people were still interested in him and his music.
"You know it's cool, I'm so grateful I can't even tell you," he said. "I am very humble I still kind of live the rock star kind of life style or whatever, but I don't portray that image. Kid Rock really kind of blew that whole thing out of proportion."
After the interview he was mobbed by autograph seekers and fans with disposable cameras, as he made his way to the door.

KU students display signs and hand out information on Starbucks Coffee to encourage support of local coffee shops. Members and friends of Delta Force and KU Green Party gathered at 7th and Massachusetts streets Saturday as part of Global Week of Action.
By Melissa Shuman Kansan staff writer
About 20 members of KU Greens and Delta Force gathered Saturday morning to protest Starbucks Coffee's coffee beans and milk.
The group held up posters outside Lawrence's Starbucks, 647 Massachusetts St., and encouraged passing motorists to honk to show their support.
Laura Adams, Topeka freshman, said she and the other students were protesting to show their support of independently owned coffee shops and to criticize Starbucks for not using more Fair Trade
coffee in its products. Adams said the protesters were also concerned with Starbucks' continued use of hormone-enhanced milk.
Local Starbucks management was unable to comment.
Dalyn Cook, Colorado Springs junior, brought her mother to the protest.
In Colorado Springs, the Cook family had seen two independently owned coffee stores struggle when Starbucks moved in two blocks from each business.

Fire burns in Towers
By Rachel Keesee Kansan staff reporter
A fire broke out in Jayhawker Towers early Saturday morning causing about $10,000 in damage.
The occupants of room 605 in Tower D were setting off fireworks in their room, said Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office. No one was injured, he said.
In addition to fire damage in room 605, the apartment directly below it on the fifth floor was damaged because of leaking water from the fire department's fire hose.
The housing department estimated damage at $10,000, mostly from smoke and water. Bailey said.
Brian Hopkins, who lives on the sixth floor of Tower D, said he was using his computer when the alarm sounded at about 4:20 a.m.
"I wasn't worried about my possessions because I didn't think there really was a fire," the Hoisington junior said. "I heard the alarm but couldn't smell anything."
By the time he got his shoes on and went out the door, policemen were in the hall, he said.
"I was surprised, because this was the fifth or sixth time fire alarms have gone off," Hopkins said. "I think we've gotten our practice down pretty well for fire alarms."
He and other residents of Tower D were evacuated while firefighters worked to put out the fire.
"It was really cold out there, colder than you would expect for as warm as it had been during the day." Hopkins said. "My roommates were in their pajamas, and they were freezing."
Josh Talley, who lives on the fifth floor, said he was sleeping when the alarm sounded.
By 6:15 a.m., residents were allowed back in the building.
Bailey said the fire report was forwarded to the district attorney's office.
Fireworks are prohibited in student housing, according to the Department of Student Housing handbook.

Tired,cold residents rise up after alarm
By Mike Gilligan Kansan staff writer
Cold, restless students, stranded outside McCollum Hall on Friday because of an early-morning fire alarm decided they had had enough.
The alarm sounded in the residence hall at about 2 a.m., keeping the students outside until after 4 a.m. The Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical Department, Lawrence Police Department and KU Public Safety arrived at the residence hall shortly after the alarm sounded because of a fire in a trash can. Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the Public Safety Office said a cigarette butt caused the fire on the fourth floor. The fire didn't cause any damage.
After more than 30 fire alarms last year and two hours waiting in the cold this time around, the students, full of frustration started shouting "Bullshit" while grouped into a mass of 800 strong in the Ellsworth Hall parking lot.
But the students got tired of waiting two hours to be let back in. Resident
Assistants had to keep the students, who were outside in front of the residence hall in 20-degree weather, from going back into the building before they were allowed to.
Bailey said students did not rush the doors to get back into McCollum, but he did say nine officers provided backup. He said no one was arrested during the disturbance. He said it was not the police's decision to keep the students outside.
"Everyone was impatient," said Lauren Murray, Naperville, Ill., freshman. "The R.A.s were trying to keep everyone out, but people were trying to get back in."
"Housing decided not to let them back in," Bailey said. "Along with the R.A.s we Kent the students out."
Todd Cohen, assistant director of University Relations, said he sympathized
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, was unavailable to comment yesterday.

KU NAACP plays host to Black Heritage Ball
Kristen Lambert, vice president of the University of Kansas chapter of the NAACP, wanted a Black History Month event to be more than just the usual history lecture
So Lambert, Overland Park sophomore, along with other members, decided to celebrate Black History month with the First Annual Black Heritage Ball. More than 200 people attend the event last night at the Ballroom in the Kansas Union.
The Ball also marks the first big event for the KU chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People since it formed in July. The group, which has more than 30 members, was the first college chapter to form in the state of Kansas.
Timothy Lambert, Overland Park senior, and president and founder of the group, said he wanted an event that would raise funds and celebrate Black History Month. He said he got the idea for a ball after seeing one at his previous school. Illinois State University.

Lambert said proceeds from the ball would go to the building of a new Multicultural Resource Center. He said he didn't know how much was raised, but he hoped to have at least $300 to donate for a new center.

Anthrax survivor finds fame; returns to work after recovery
BOCA RATON, Fla. — At supermarkets, in department stores and on the train on the way to work, people want to meet Ernesto Blanco, the man who fought off the inhaled form of anthrax that killed his co-worker.
"Some people who see me on the street, they look at me, thinking, 'Is that him?' Blanco said. "I guess it's the price of fame."
Blanco said, "I guess it's the price of fame.
Blanco returned to work last week after 23 days in the hospital and four months of recovery. At one point, he had been near death, but he fought off the anthrax through quick treatment and antibiotics.
The 74-year-old grandfather still delivers office mail at American Media Inc. in Boca Raton, but in a new office building. Authorities believe he inhaled anthrax spores while working in the company's mailroom.
Bob Stevens, a photo editor at American Media and friend of Blanco, died of anxia on Oct. 5, the first of five deaths after anthrax-laced letters were mailed to journalists, politicians and government offices last fall. Several other people recovered from anthrax infections, but few had become as sick as Blanco
tions, but few had use "I feel perfectly well, thank God," Blanco said. "I don't have any discomfort or anything that you can associate with anthrax. I feel the same I did before I became sick."

NATION Survey suggests hirings will increase
MILWAUKEE — Some companies expect hiring will improve slightly this spring, but not enough to signal a recovery from recession levels, a new survey finds.
Twenty-one percent of the companies interviewed said they planned to add jobs in April through June, while 10 percent said they anticipated cutting staff, according to Manpower Inc.'s quarterly survey of 16,000 businesses.
The rest of the companies said they either expected to maintain their staffing levels or were uncertain about hiring activities in the second quarter.
When seasonally adjusted, the findings reflect a 1 percent increase in hiring activity during the first three months of the year, compared to a flat hiring trend the survey found in the first quarter.
Motorcycle club brawl leads to murder, injury
NEW YORK — An alleged member of the Hells Angels was charged with killing another biker Saturday at a motorcycle and tattoo expo called the Hellraiser Ball.
More than 70 other people were in custody. At least 10 others were injured in the free-for-all in Plainview, N.Y.
Hundreds of weapons, including knives, baseball bats, handguns, shotguns and an Uzi, were seized by Nassau County police and federal agents.
The violence was just the latest eruption in a long-running feud between the Hells Angels and the Pagans gang, said Nassau County Chief of Detectives Herbert Faust.
Authorities said the violence broke out when about 100 Pagans in a fleet of 10 vans showed up at the ball, an annual event sponsored by the Hells Angels' Long Island chapter. The Pagans invaded the hall wielding bats, knives, brass knuckles and other weapons, authorities said.

Committee plans to sue over ordinance
By Lauren Beatty
Kansan staff writer
The city of Lawrence could face a legal challenge from the Citizens' Rights Committee if the city doesn't revoke its rental property licensing ordinance.
The ordinance requires owners of rental homes in single family residential zoning districts to register their properties with the city for inspection. The inspectors check the homes to make sure they comply with all safety codes. The ordinance went into effect Feb. 1.
Bob Ebey, spokesman for the committee, said that it was formed by people concerned about the city's rental ordinances and that more than 100 people were
involved. On Wednesday, Feb. 13, the committee told the city of its intention to sue if the ordinance wasn't revoked. The city has to respond within 120 days.
Ebey said the ordinance violates the fourth amendment—a citizen's right to privacy. Tenants have the right to restrict who enters their property, said Ebey.
City Manager Mike Wildgen said the city had no plans to revoke the ordinance.
Wildgen said the ordinance passed last year with community support. He said the inspectors made sure single family rental homes complied with all city codes, including the ordinance restricting more than three unrelated people living together.
renters only if all renters were inspected.
Ebey said the ordinance would protect
"If they inspected every rental property, then yes, it does protect renters, but they've only limited it to a few," Ebey said.
Wildgen said he was confident the courts would back the city if the committee sued.
Ebey said he was trying to get more students involved with the group because they made up most of the tenants in Lawrence.
"It's our goal to enforce the codes and deal with individual problems. We will defend it to the utmost," he said.

'Vagina Monologues' draws a crowd
Betsy Storm (left) of Chicago, Amanda Stever, of Kansas City, Mo., and Heather La Bash, Lawrence graduate student, make paper vaginas Saturday night at the V-day festival at the Kansas Union.
By Lauren Beatty
Kansan staff writer
Listening to women speak about their vaginas for about 90 minutes energized Sarah Johnson.
"I feel like a feminist!" the Topeka senior said.
Johnson attended "The Vagina Monologues," a play written by Eve Ensler based on interviews she conducted with women about their vaginas. It played to three packed houses Thursday at the Burge Union, and Friday and Saturday nights at the Kansas Union. More than 1,000 people attended the three performances.
against women.
The monologues covered topics from birth to menstruation to sexual abuse. The actresses were all volunteers and the proceeds from the show were donated to women's organizations, such as Rape Victim-Survivor Services. Tickets to the show cost $6.
The play was presented as part of the February Sisters Forum, which is part of V-Day, a national campaign geared toward stopping violence
"It creates a different image than what we're bombarded with everyday on television and in the movies." Sullivan said.
Sharon Sullivan, president of the February Sisters Association at the University of Kansas, said the play discussed women's bodies in a positive way.
Meagan Foster, Hutchinson freshman, said she had always heard good things about the show and wanted to see it in person. She said she was impressed with the abilities of the actors.
E. J. Reedy, Lawrence resident and KU graduate, said he learned a lot about women from the play. He said both men and women were touchy about the subject of vaginas.
"It's not talked about. It's hard to see the vagina as anything but sexual." Reedy said.
"Women's issues are important for men," Sullivan said. "We all live here together. What affects one affects the other."
Sullivan said more men came to see the show this year than in previous years.
Sullivan said she would like to continue producing the show as long as people were interested in seeing it. She said there were other programs to work on as well, including cell phone donations to victims of domestic violence and an upcoming speech by Robin Morgan, former editor of Ms. magazine
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the February Sisters, a group that protested
the way women were treated at the University. Results of the protest included the Hilltop Child Development Center on campus and the women's studies program. The February Sister's Association named itself in honor of the original February Sisters.

Hate speech still remains; all races should do their part to stop it
I will never forget the banquet at my hometown church when I was eight years old. My little brother was five and wanted to help.
His job was to tell Mrs. Rice when anv of the bowls of nuts became empty.
[Name]
First the peanuts were gone. He instantly yelled out across the church, "Mrs.Rice! We need some more peanuts."
James Manning opinion@kansan.com
The Brazil nuts were all gone, and my little brother, not realizing he was doing anything wrong, tried to be helpful by yelling out the only name for Brazil nuts he ever knew. The name he knew the nuts as started with the N-word.
Next the bowl of mixed nuts was empty. Again he did his duty and let Mrs. Rice know the bowl had to be refilled. It was the next bowl of nuts that caused shock and confusion.
GUEST COMMENTARY
"But that's what the neighbor calls them," he replied.
Church members stopped and stared. Mrs. Rice told him the word is wrong.
"We don't say words like that," she said.
He was right. Despite the stigma, the word was still used.
A decade and a half later, that word
has evolved into arguably the most powerful word in the English language. No other word can evoke such a wide array of emotions and feelings.
Too horrible to mention or see in print, the N-word is still an active part of the English language. Perhaps that is why use of the word is being tackled on tonight's episode of the Fox drama series Boston Public.
While watching one of the many promos Fox has aired for the episode (where it is trumpeted as the 'most important episode of the year'), a friend of mine told me he did not understand why the program was needed. He figured people already knew the word was taboo. He could not understand why the topic needed to be revisited.
Unfortunately, he was probably overestimating white culture.
Only a couple of weeks after attending the University of Kansas, I heard the word used at a party by an intoxicated woman. At first I thought I misunderstood what she was saying, so I asked her to repeat it.
She instantly apologized and told me it was a common word where she was from and that it "didn't mean she was racist."
A little less than a month later I heard the word again in a local coffee house. I called this woman out on using the word.
This time someone came to her defense, "Black people use that word all the time," he said.
What does that have to do with anything? Someone else's actions should not affect how we model our behavior. The answer to why the word should not be used is simple: it is offensive and wrong.
Some will argue a white person has no place arguing against the N-word because it is an African-American issue. To an extent I agree. As a white person, I cannot imagine to know how it feels to be an African-American in our society and therefore cannot speak for that culture or from the viewpoint of the culture.
But as a member of white culture, I can testify that many white people find the word offensive and want other members of white culture to stop using it. No justification exists for its use.
Unfortunately, as long as people remain passive and indifferent to the use of hate words, prejudicial attitudes will be deemed as acceptable on some level in society.
It is for this reason every person must make it a priority to call out those who use hate language the moment it is uttered.
The key to calling the person out, however, is trying to form an understanding. Yelling and exploding with overwhelming feelings may only anger the person. Belittling the person only puts you on his or her level.
Instead, calmly and rationally explain how the word should not be used, and counter any arguments that may be posed. This is how the church situation was handled with my little brother, and he and I are both advocates of eliminating hate language today. Education is the key to removing oppression from society.

CHAMBERLAIN COLUMN
Robert Chamberlain's column,
"Loss of color guard at games disrespects flag" (Feb. 12) does a disservice not only to Roy Williams, but to the University and its alumni as well as the Kansan.
Mr. Chamberlain's problem with profit-driven exploitative nature of Division I athletics is his problem, not Williams' problem. He states he has come to "grips" with the impossibility of pursing his academic career during home games. I say baloney to that.
Alumni and citizens of Kansas used to own the University, and I think we still own a past of it. Surely students understand that taxes can't pay for schools of excellence. Neither can tuition. It is the donations to the Endowment Association that provide the chance for excellence.
And one of our freedoms is that if one chooses, he or she can be disrespectful to the flag and still be patriotic. Williams has done neither of the two. The guard needs to keep on schedule if it wants to be part of the game.
W go to war to protect out freedoms. It is my understanding that the flag is a symbol of out freedoms.
Mr. Chamberlain could immediately enlist for active duty and joint those troops who are in harm's way. My generation did. We left school, then after the war, came back to finish our education.
The column shouldn't have been printed with half-truths. It was in poor taste, and it was unfair to Williams. We think the Kansan should be above this
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
and should double check information.
By "we," I am including 1,750 members of the Topeka Jayhawk Club. Otto Schnelbacher, Sr Class of 1948 President of the Topeka Jayhawk Club
In response to Robert Chamberlain's column, "Loss of color gaurd at games disrespects flag" (Feb. 12), Chamberlain's obviously biased and reactionary viewpoint does nothing to help solve the problem.
More importantly, at what point did it become an embarrassment to display the flag within the fieldhouse? I am not as militant as Chamberlain, but I do know that the flag is to be respected by our citizenry, as long as it is being displayed in a manner which is respectful of what it symbolizes.
If I hang a flag on the wall of my apartment, showing respect for the flag itself and support for the military and our nation, am I also to be seen as an embarrassment? If I were a police officer presenting it as part of an honor guard, instead of a color guard, am I an embarrassment? I doubt anyone would answer yes to either question.
By calling the display of "a flag they have pinned to the Fieldhouse wall" an "embarrassment," Robert puts himself into the same category in which he tries to place Coach Roy Williams. A presentation of the colors by the military, while important, is not the only appropriate way in which to display the flag.
Chamberlain himself needs to show the respect for the flag that he requests of others before anyone should pay his opinion much attention.
Justin Nichols Ann Arbor, Mich., 2001 graduate THE MEN'S MOVEMENT
According to the Kansas Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence, every 15 seconds a woman is beaten by her boyfriend or husband and of those numbers, less than 5 percent are reported. If that is not enough, by the age of 18 one out of every four women has been sexually assaulted with a 90 percent chance that the perpetrator was somebody she knew. It is important to understand that these numbers are just that and don't show the realistic, morose nature of this issue. So to all of the men out there who feel like this is not their concern, think again.
Justin Nichols
We live in a male-dominated society controlled by the same men who engage in these specific crimes. It is time to approach this issue with honestly and truth. It is time for this to change. A problem this big should not be up to women to fight alone. It's time we start educating men. This is my invitation to all men out there. Let the guidance begin.
The Men's Movement will meet at 3 p.m. on the first Friday of every month at Alcove D in the Kansas Union. Let this be a chance to create leadership.

To the editorialist who said KU fans suck because they don't wear blue to every game, the problem is not that KU fans do not know their school color is blue, but all the bookstores provide more colors than blue. KU championship hats and t-shirts are not even made in school colors. The fans are not wrong but bookstores.

Hear The Calling
Jessica Tims
Kansan Staff Writer
Alex Band, frontman for The Calling, does not think he is famous. But try telling to that the girls sitting outside the Bottleneck waiting to see the 20-year-old singer and his band mates.
Kaci Nash, Omaha, Neb., freshman, and Elizabeth Tillmanns, Chicago freshman, said they arrived six hours before the doors opened to be sure they were in the front row for their favorite band.
"We became fans when we went to a concert of their's in Kansas City," Tillmanns said. "We had heard some of their songs and we went to kind of test them out."
The Calling performed last night at the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., to a sold-out crowd of 500.
Amber Lydens and Candice Tanner drove from Tulsa, Okla., to see the band. They arrived in Lawrence at 2 a.m. yesterday and got to the venue seven hours early to hear it.
"They're an awesome band," Lydens said. "It's all about the music. They have such inspirational music."
The band's show is just that — all about the music. The five-member band of Alex Band, Aaron Kamin, Sean Woolstenhulme, Nate Wood and Billy Mohler stand on a stage adorned with only an American flag and play their own music with their own instruments. The scene resembles their big

"we had been signed about three years prior to that," Band said. "So it's not like we were The Calling, it was just me and Aaron's name on the credits, and the rest of the band was just friends of ours. It was before we made the record, it was a demo we had made of 'Wherever You Will Go.'"
Although that debut single is currently No.7 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart and became one of the most played songs on the radio soon after its release, Band said The Calling was not an overnight success. He said the band's CD, Camino Palmero, was about to go platinum.
"There are bands that will work for 10 years and have three records before the success," Band said. "Something like that might be more evident to the fans when they look back, where as this is our first record yet me and Aaron have been signed for five years."
Band said The Calling wanted to stay as true to itself as possible. Members make their own decisions whenever possible and refuse to let the record industry change them.
record mostly by changing things the way we wanted to," Band said. "That was half the fight from the years when we first got signed. I was 15 and I think they were pulling us more in a pop direction like Hanson. But we have always tried to stay true."

Interim Afghanistan leader asks United States, Iran to cooperate
TEHRAN, Iran — Hamid Karzai, making his first official visit to Iran as interim leader of Afghanistan, urged the United States and Iran yesterday to put aside their differences and to focus on helping to rebuild his impoverished country.
Karzai arrived in Tehran just hours after meeting with U.S. special envoy Zalmay Khalilizad, who told him the United States suspects Iran of sending elite commandos known as Sipah-e-Mohammed, or Soldiers of Mohammed, into Afghanistan to stir up trouble among armed tribes.
Washington accuses Iran of protecting fleeing al-Qaida and Taliban members and of sending the commandos into Afghanistan to undermine the U.S.-backed interim administration.
Iranian President Mohamad Khatami rejected the renewed accusations yesterday.
The Associated Press
"Iran from the very beginning has recognized the government of Afghanistan and thinks strengthening this government is its responsibility," Khatami said. "Naturally, Iran has had and will have an important role in Afghanistan. We will do anything we can without even thinking of interfering in Afghanistan."
Karzai credited both Iran and the United States with helping Afghanistan defeat the fundamentalist Taliban regime.
"We would like to ask the countries, even the ones with differences among them, to put aside their differences and cooperate with us in the reconstruction," the Afghan prime minister said. "Iran can play a very important role in the reconstruction of Afghanistan. Iran is a country with huge facilities and has goodwill in this regard."
Karzai said his country wants good relations with all of its neighbors based on the principle of noninterference.

Vanilla Ice rose to fame when "Ice, Ice, Baby" was released in the early 90s. It was released on VanWinkle's first album, Hooked, in 1989 when he was only 20 years old.
His follow-up album, To The Extreme, was released with some of the same songs, including "Ice, Ice, Baby," in September 1990. It was that album that launched his career. It climbed to No.1 on the Billboard Charts in one month and spent 16 weeks in the top spot. In 10 years, To the Extreme sold more

"I would have made changes in my career," he said. "I wouldn't have just done everything for the money. I realized in 1994 when I tried to commit suicide with $20 million in the bank, that life is not all about money. I can't go buy myself happiness. It was a very valuable lesson for myself. I am a survivor. I am a survivor of everything. I live and I learn."
Accepting $1 million to let his then record company, SBK Records, make him into its vision of a pop super star was one of his biggest regrets of his career. Waninkle said.
"You know I sold out," he said. "And anybody given the chance would have done it. I

So I am very grateful."
But seven CDs and four label changes later, VanWinkle admits he cannot deny his place in popular culture history.

The OCA is protesting against Starbucks for not using more Fair Trade coffee in its products. Fair Trade coffee ensures coffee growers in Third World countries receive adequate compensation for their beans.
The protest coincided with the Organic Consumers Association's Starbucks Week of Action. The OCA, based in Minnesota, has organized protests in all 50 states and in countries around the world.

The Lawrence Starbucks doesn't brew its Fair Trade blend everyday, but it does sell it in whole bean form. It also offers soy milk as an alternative to bovine enhanced milk.
"I think they're good, and you're bound to see things like this in a college town," said Tim Fritzel, a Starbucks customer. "They're paying rent, utilities, taxes and wages to employees and they're participating in our local economy."
The protesters spread throughout downtown, offering information about genetically engineered milk and Fair Trade coffee. They passed out coupons for some of Lawrence's independent coffee shops.
Mark Zwahl, owner of Java Dive, 10 E. Ninth St., said fair trade was important to the integrity of his business. Zwahl roasts his own coffee beans, some of which he buys from fair trade certified importers. Unlike Starbucks, Zwahl said products that contain Fair Trade coffee are brewed everyday at Java Dive.
"I don't feel ethical making money off of third world economies,"Zwahl said.

The keynote speaker of the event was Rev. Gill Ford, the Region IV director of the NAACP. During his speech, Ford told attendees not to take for granted the rights they have and not to ignore the racism that still exists today. He said that although African-Americans only made up 12 percent of the population, they were about 50 percent of the population in prisons. Ford said the majority of those in jail were in for non-violent drug crimes and that problems in this country were tied to both class and race.
"If you are poor, the justice system is just as unfair to you as it is to a minority." Ford said.

Senator speaks frankly
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — To find out what Sen. Ed Pugh is thinking, just ask him.
In a world of politicians who make fence-straddling an Olympic sport and political speak an art form, the self-described "beefy country lawyer" expresses his views without mincing words.
Last week, the Senate voted 32-8 to require registration of beer kegs and their buyers. Pugh, of Wamego, was the only Republican voting "no."
"It's just a bunch of political malarkey," he said after the vote.
As for his no-frills style, Pugh said, "There's no reason to speak in riddles. I like to go where it's at and deal with it."
A senator since 1997, Pugh, 52, doesn't play follow the leader and isn't a go-along, get-along kind of guy — as his vote on the beer keg bill showed.
"Sometimes I follow the leader if I like the way he's headed or if it's the thing to do to
make a point," Pugh said.
It was Pugh who offered a state Senate redistricting plan that won the chamber's approval two weeks ago over the objections of Senate President Dave Kerr, R-Hutchinson, who backed another plan.
Pugh said his plan was drafted by a group of fellow conservative Republicans and the Senate's minority Democrats — and that he offered it because it was a good idea.
But Sen. Tim Huelskamp, who help draft the plan, said there was another reason why it was Pugh who brought it to the floor.
"You don't take on Ed Pugh in debate unless you are absolutely certain. He can outspeak anyone in the chamber, and that's why we had him present it," said Huelskamp, R-Fowler.
Sen. Robert Tyson, R-Parker, who goes elk hunting with Pugh, said his friend is direct but often uses humor to make a point.
"He sees life as being too short to be too serious," Tyson said.
Sometimes Pugh uses humor to make a point outside the Statehouse, too. He recalls that when his law office was gutted by an electrical fire in 1994, the fire chief asked him if he had any enemies.
"I looked at him and said, I'm a lawyer and a politician. What the hell do you think?" he said with a laugh.
"We disagree on many issues, but he's very intelligent, very articulate and a strong advocate for the issues he believes in," said Vratil, R-Leawood. "I actually like him."
On biographical questionnaires, Pugh, who went to law school at the University of Kansas, said that, as a jest, he likes to list his hobbies as "motoring" and "ballroom dancing."
Even lawmakers who don't agree with his politics give Pugh high marks, including Senate Judiciary Chairman John Vratil. Pugh is the committee's vice chairman.
Pugh's style can be forceful
"Ed Pugh is the master of intimidation to get his way," Vratil said. "He's just trying to make a point."
Although a lawmaker, Pugh would like to see fewer laws made.
"We'd be far better off if we allowed laws to be settled and let the courts interpret them. As long we keep changing them, nobody knows what they mean," he said. "The more laws you write, the less personal freedoms you have."
It's a view that fairly reflects those of many constituents in his northeast Kansas district — a healthy skepticism, if not outright distrust, of government.
"I see myself as the kind of Republican I grew up around— government should be limited and personal freedoms maximized. Government isn't the answer to everything," he said.
Explosives plant violates rules
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A massive blast at a southeast Kansas explosives plant would have caused injuries and damage more than a mile away, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms says.
Agents seized the Slurry Explosive Corp. plant near Columbus, Kan., late last month after alleging numerous safety and security violations and finding more than 4 million pounds of explosives at the site.
Robert Mosley, ATF's regional director of industry operations, said at a federal hearing in Kansas City last week that Slurry's alleged violations of federal safety and security rules are the worst he's seen in 28 years as an explosives regulator.
"Slurry was several million pounds of explosives in excess of what they were allowed to store there," Mosley said. "I believed there was tremendous risk to public safety."
The plant in the far southeast corner of the
state was authorized to store just 90,000 pounds of explosives, the ATF said. It was the only one of 9,500 of its kind to have its manufacturing license revoked after a nationwide security sweep following the Sept. 11 attacks.
Slurry argued at the hearing that it was correcting the problems when the ATF seized the plant. Its lawyers also argued that the company maintained continuous security at the plant, and should retain its license.
Slurry's lawyers did not dispute that the company, which also has plants in Oklahoma, kept more explosives at the plant than it was permitted.
Stephen L. Hill Jr., a former U.S. attorney in Kansas City who represents Slurry, said company executives had tried to follow unclear federal regulations and had worked with federal inspectors.
"I here is no factual basis for (willful violations) or an issue of public safety," Hill said. "Under the regulations, (Slurry) should be allowed to correct it."
The plant had more than 4 million pounds of smokeless powder, blasting agents and high explosives, said Mark James, special agent in charge of the Kansas City ATF office.
Most of the excess was military solid rocket fuel that the company planned to manufacture into commercial explosives used in mining and quarrying.
James said ATF had pulled agents from as far away as Dallas to boost security at the plant while the bureau tries to sort out how to dispose of the explosives. James said the plant is safe for now, though experts from the Department of Defense are working to determine how stable the explosives are.
The nearest public highway to the facility is about 1,000 feet from the nearest storage magazine. The public is barred from getting within a mile of the plant.
Lawyer Patrick McNerney, also representing Slurry, said that the company provided 24-hour security at the plant. He said that ATF has not contended that any explosives were stolen.

Olympics trip surprising spirited alcohol-free
At midnight last Tuesday, one of my pledge brothers called me, told me he found two tickets to Friday's Olympic ice hockey semifinal, and said he'd buy my ticket if I drove.
Forty hours later, I picked him up in Kansas City, and we set off on 1-29 for the 19-hour drive to Salt Lake City.
It was everything and nothing like what I imagined.
AARON SHOWALTER/KANSAN
On Wednesday night, the United States and Russia won their games, setting up a rematch of the 1980 "Miracle on Ice." Twenty-two years later to the day, the United States would again face the Evil Empire on home ice in an Olympic semifinal. Millions would be watching. I needed to figure out how to get on TV.
I tried to get the flags from Fraser to take to the games. I thought about making posters. As it turned out, it's a good thing I didn't waste my time.
Kansas forward Keith Langford fights for a rebound against Nebraska. Langford had seven points and three rebounds in 17 minutes of play, including a clutch three point shot that put the Jayhawks ahead for good.
Getting on TV is an unofficial Olympic sport in itself and the competition is intense. Let me put it this way: the guys next to me came in pink bunny costumes with USA Hockey jerseys and they were never even in contention. To make the cameras, you need to wear a bobsled uniform, be Cuba Gooding Jr. or Wayne Gretzkv.
When I packed my car Thursday afternoon, I brought along a list of events for the two days we would be in Salt Lake. We only had tickets for hockey, but I figured we could get to a couple other events — hopefully giant slalom or speed skating, but, if nothing else, surely curling.
So the trip didn't match my expectations, but it more than met them. Every person we saw was having a wonderful time. Everybody was friendly. Our boys beat their boys through a brilliant performance. We drove forty hours for thirty hours of Olympic excitement and it was completely worth it.
I'm already making plans for Athens in 2004. But this time I think I'll fly.
Nope. I am neither rich nor powerful, and to do the Olympic experience right, you need to be one or both. Almost everything at the Olympics costs a tremendous amount of money to half of the people and is free to the other half. Our hockey tickets cost $400 each. We bought them from the guys at the International Biathlon Federation, who got them free. My friend, who works for Coca-Cola, found out too late that the piles of free company pins he left at home would fetch $20 each in Salt Lake. For the sports federations, the curling tickets were free, but for us, over $200. No sale.
That didn't happen either. It turns out that Utah is filled with Mormons and Mormons don't drink. Hence, no bars. There are actually billboards for night skiing that say "The most intoxicating thing in Salt Lake." They're not joking. We had a great time Friday night, but with no liquor and, unfortunately, no beautiful Olympians.
Early Friday morning, as we hurtled through the Wyoming Rockies, my thoughts turned to the Olympic night life. I pictured going into a club, having a few drinks and waking up in the arms of a blonde German speed skater who shall remain nameless, except to say that her name rhymes with Bonnie Glysinger

'Hawks edge 'Huskers Langford's three-pointer propels Kansas to last-minute victory
By Doug Pacey
Kansan sportswriter
LINCOLN, Neb. — There were no jittery, wide-eyed players in Kansas' huddle near the end of yesterday's down-to-the-wire thriller against Nebraska.
Down 87-85 with 45 seconds left and playing before a Cornhusker crowd making the most noise heard in Lincoln since Nebraska's last home football game was a pressure situation.
Big deal.
The Jayhawks had been in this situation before. They came back in the final two minutes to beat Iowa State a month ago. Kansas also beat an overachieving Texas squad in overtime two weeks ago.
So during the Jayhawks' last possession, who makes the game-winning three-pointer?
Keith Langford, a freshman.
"This is why you play basketball," said Langford, who scored seven points in 19 minutes. "You want to be in that type of situation."
A stone-faced and butterfly-free Langford hit a three-pointer from the top of the key with 32 seconds left, which gave No.1 Kansas (25-2 overall, 14-0 Big 12) an 88-87 lead that held for the rest of the game at the Devaney Sports Center and clinched the Jayhawks' first Big 12 Conference championship since the 1997-98 season.
But the swingman wasn't even supposed to touch the ball on that play. Coach Roy Williams said he called a play for senior guard Jeff Boschee —
the same play where the senior guard hit a three-pointer to beat Iowa State a month ago — but senior guard Brett Ballard took the ball to the wrong side of the court, which made Langford the shooter.
"It was just a freshman stepping up and taking the big shot." Boschee said. "It was definitely a big-time

Dynamic duo clinch win against Nebraska

LINCOLN, Neb. — Kansas freshman guard Keith Langford and senior guard Brett Ballard couldn't stop smiling after the Jayhawks snuck past Nebraska in thrilling fashion at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.
On a team with so many starplayers, Langford and Ballard had seemingly been lost in the mix this
season — until yesterday. The duo came through for the Jayhawks in the clutch, hitting huge shots with less than one minute to play and helping to propel the team to an 88-87 victory against the Cornhuskers
"Ah, man, I'm feeling good," Langford said with a huge grin on his face. "It felt good to have the opportunity to make that shot on

national television, and I'm going to fit my finger for a ring. We didn't play as hard as we could have. We just wanted to get out of here alive."
Langford nailed a three-pointer from the top of the key with 34 seconds remaining in the game. The shot gave the Jayhawks the lead for the first time since the 16:52 mark in the second half and was just enough to provide Kansas with the victory.

Track team sustains the pace in Lincoln
By Matt Norton Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas track team continued to move up the ladder in the Big 12 Conference at the annual indoor championships Friday and Saturday in Lincoln, Neb.
The women, led by a first-place finish by junior Monique Peters in the long jump, finished sixth with 62 points. Texas won the women's competition with 107
The men left Lincoln with two Big 12 champions, senior Scott Russell in the 35-pound weight throw and sophomore Leo Bookman in the 200-meter dash, and finished in seventh place with 60 points. In the men's division, Nebraska won the championship with 105.5 points.
Last year, both the women and men finished ninth.
Both team races were hotly contested this year, with only six points separating fourth from seventh on the women's side and 12 points between fourth and eighth for the men.
"We didn't get the points exactly the way I thought we'd get them, but it was really exciting," coach Stanley Redwine said. "We had some outstanding performances, and it's really tough to single anyone out, because everyone gave a great effort."
Bookman had an impressive weekend for the Jayhawks, breaking his own school record in the 60 meters during the preliminaries with a time of 6.73 seconds, then snagging third place in the final despite a slow start out of the blocks.
When Bookman came out later for the 200, he rocketed to the front from the gun and held off Terence Newman of Kansas State in a time of 21.03. That time also broke his own school record and should qualify him for the NCAA championships
Not yet finished, Bookman chipped in a 46.7 leg on the 4x400 relay, leading the team to its fastest time of the season, 3.13.93. In one of the most competitive events of the meet, that mark was good only for ninth, but showed how far Bookman's fitness has come since joining the track team after football season.
"Yeah, I'm running good this year," Bookman said. "I credit it to running on the 4x4 because the 400 just makes me stronger for the 200 and the 60."
Russell again easily handled some of the best throwers in the country, winning the weight throw on Friday by nearly eight feet.
Russell said not breaking his personal best left him with added motivation heading into the NCAA meet in two weeks.

Strong pitching, hitting lead to victory
By Ryan Wood
Kansan sportswriter
The Jayhawks combined that strong starting-pitching with hot hitting Saturday, winning both games of a Saturday doubleheader, 8-7 and 13-1, and completing the three game sweep of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. They also won 4-1 on Friday.
The Kansas baseball team is pointing its success to one thing.
MADISON WALKER KANSAS
"Our pitching has come on real strong," junior outfielder Lance Hayes said. "I just think our pitching is what's kept us in it most of the time."
Lance Hayes crosses home plate in the Jayhawks' 8-7 victory over Wisconsin-Milwaukee in game one Saturday. The team won the second game 13-1 and is 8-0 on the season.
With the victories, Kansas improved to 8-0, its best start in school history.
"I'm proud of these guys and what they've been doing," coach Bobby Randall said. "At times we've been struggling a little offensively, but we scored a lot of runs today."
Wisconsin-Milwaukee jumped to an early 1-0 lead in Saturday's first game, but Kansas scored one in the second and three in the third to take a 4-1 advantage.
The Jayhawks extended the lead to 7-1 before the Panthers started to rally. Senior pitcher Dan Olson had control problems in the seventh, walking two and hitting two, and Wisconsin-Milwaukee tacked three runs on the board.
"We probably left Danny in a little too long that first game," Randall said, "but it got away from him so quick."
Sophomore outfielder Matt Tribble's RBI single in the eighth proved to be crucial, as the Panthers tacked three
more runs on in the ninth before sophomore pitcher Chris Smart forced Ryan Dolan to ground out, ending the scare.
"I was a little nervous that first game," Randall said. "We didn't know we were going to win."
Hayes' home run to lead off the first inning of the second game seemed to set the tone for the rest of the day. Kansas

HOROSCOPES
Todav's Birthday (Feb. 25).
Today's birthday (red. 29).
Keep your nose to the grind-
stone this year. That's another way
of saying there'll be more work
than play. The good news is that
you'll make a lot of money. Hold
onto it. You may want to finance
some big changes soon. First, con-
centrate on doing the job.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7. There may be a temptation to be introspective or maybe even blue. Are you remembering things that didn't go well? Have lunch with a friend who cheers you up. You'll be your old assertive self in no time.
Taurus (April 20-May 20), Today is a 6.
No need to hurry, especially if money is concerned. You might make an excellent deal, but it won't be on a whim. It'll be because you've already done your homework and know a bargain when you see it. When you do see it, move quickly.
Gomini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 7.
You're a perpetual student, as you'll soon demonstrate. You're about to become fascinated by a new area of study. This time, it's something you can't just read about. It requires practice, but you're a natural.
Cancer (June 22- July 22). Today is a 6. The pace slows considerably, as you get into the building phase. Dreaming is more fun, of course, but there's less to show for the time you spend.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is an 8. Conditions are much better for taking action. Launch new projects and follow through on promises. Travel, or meet with foreign friends and business associates.

Staff report
Drug testing ousts athletes, gold medals taken away
SALT LAKE CITY — Vowing to stay one step ahead of athletes, Olympic officials stripped gold medals from two cross-country skiers yesterday for using a drug so new it's not yet on the banned list.
Cross-country skiers Larissa Lazutina of Russia and Johann Muehlegg of Spain forfeited their most recent medals after testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug intended to help kidney patients avoid anemia. Muehlegg had been picked to carry the Spanish flag at the closing ceremony, but was replaced by Maria Jose Rienda Contreras, who finished sixth in the giant slalom.
A third cross-country skier, Olga Danilova of Russia, also tested positive for the drug, dabepoetin, which boosts the production of red blood cells that carry oxygen to muscles.
All three athletes were tossed out of the Winter Olympics on the final day of competition. The Spanish and Russian Olympic delegations challenged the process by which the test results were validated. All three positive results came from out-of-competition drug tests on Thursday.
Lazutina, who tied an Olympic record yesterday with her 10 medal by winning the women's 30-kilometer classical race, was forced to give up that victory. But she will be allowed to keep two medals she won earlier — silvers in the 15K freestyle and the 10K combined event.
Muehlegg, who had won three gold medals at these games, was ordered to return the one from Saturday's 50K classical race. But he gets to keep his golds in the 30K freestyle and the 10K pursuit events
Muehlegg's disqualification means Mikhail Ivanov of Russia will trade in his silver for gold, while Estonia's Andrus Veerpalu moves up to silver and fourth-place finisher Odd-Bjoern Hijesmet of Norway gets the bronze.
After Lazutina was disqualified, Gabriella Paruzzi of Italy, who finished second, was awarded the gold, Stefania Belmondo of Italy got the silver and Bente Skari of Norway moved up to bronze.

Tennis team changes lineup, defeats Southwest Missouri
By Jonah Ballow Kansan sportswriter
For the Kansas tennis team, returning home was the best medicine for a losing streak.
After two defeats away from home last weekend, the Jayhawks bounced back to defeat the Southwest Missouri State Bears 5-2 Saturday at the Alvamar Racquet Club, 4120 Clinton Parkway.
Kansas came into the match with a different lineup that featured sophomore Emily Haylock and freshman Paige Brown moving up to the No.1 doubles position.
Sophomore Courtney Steinbock and junior Kim Lorenz teamed up at No. 2 doubles,
and senior Cheryl Mallaiah and freshman Aurelle Bejar remained at No. 3 doubles.
The only singles change came at the No.6 position where senior Christi Wagenaar replaced Lorenz.
"I think the team responded very well," coach Kilmeny Waterman said. "Last weekend was very tough on us, but I think it really helped us for this weekend."
The change helped the Jayhawks win all three doubles matches, along with Haylock and Brown boosting their teambest 4-1 record.
In singles play, Mallaiah set the tone early by beating Ia Zozrashvili in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4.
The No.1 singles player came out strong by attacking the net and winning points.
"After losing my last two matches, I tried to be more aggressive and consistent," Malliaiah said. "I had to come to the net or she would have dominated the match."
No. 3 singles Steinbock topped Marta Rubina 6-2, 6-3 and No. 5 singles Bejar cruised to a 6-0, 6-0 victory against Ala Alvarez.
Brown remained undefeated at No.4 singles by beating Laura Miller 6-4, 7-5, improving her record to 5-0 on the season.
"I felt really nervous and shaky but I stayed focused and just found away to beat her,"
Brown said.
Kansas could not escape injuries as No. 6 singles Wagenaar suffered a pulled quadriceps muscle in her left leg that forced her to retire the match against Maria Amato. A hip flexor injury slowed down No.2 singles Haylock as she was unable to beat Oyuki Cruz 6-2, 7-6.
Next on the schedule for the 3-2 Jayhawks is a tip to Utah where they face two non-conference opponents, Brigham Young and Utah, on Friday and Saturday.

Kansas swimmers finish fifth in conference championships
The Kansas swimming and diving team placed fifth out of six teams in the Big 12 Championships on Saturday in College Station, Texas, with 487.5 points.
"For the second straight day, we swam extremely well in the morning session," coach Cathy Burgess said about Saturday's performance. "I was very pleased. But we just couldn't take advantage of it in the finals and that really seemed to hurt us."
Texas claimed its fourth straight conference championship, with a score of 1,055.5.
The jayhawks finished in dramatic fashion, with the 400-
meter free relay team of freshman Jackie Krueger, senior Carrie Kirkham, freshman Aly Colver and freshman Amy Gruber placing second in a seasonbest time of 3 minutes. 23.79 seconds. The time was less than a second off the school record of 3:23.28.
"I'm very excited with how we closed out the meet in the relay and I' m proud of all the ladies," Burgess said. "Hopefully, this meet will be a stepping stone for the future."
After Kansas failed to qualify any swimmers for championship heats on Thursday, seven qualified Friday and six qualified Saturday.
Junior Gwen Haley finished fourth and junior Heidi Landherr finished fifth in the 400 IM Friday.
Freshman Amy Gruber placed fifth in the 200 free and freshman Miranda Isaac finished fifth in the 100 breast.
Isaac was followed by sophomore Kristen Johnson in sixth place and freshman Jackie Krueger in eighth. Sophomore Whitney Sondall tied for seventh in the 100 back championship heat. Kansas also earned fifth-place finishes in the 800 free relay and 200 medley relay.
Also on Friday, senior diver Rebecca McFall placed sixth in the 3-meter board competition.
She had finished second in the 1-meter board on Wednesday.
Isaac led three Jayhawks in the championship heat of the 200 breast Saturday. Isaac finished fourth, while Johnson finished sixth and sophomore Maegen Himes placed eighth. Gruber placed seventh in the 100 free championship heat. Landherr finished eight in the championship heat of the 200 back and Haley finished eighth in the 200 fly.
McFall closed out the diving portion with an eighth place finish in the finals of the platform competition.

BASEBALL
CONTINUED FROM 1B
scored nine runs in the first three innings, and added four more in the sixth.
"Hitting's contagious," said Tribble, who went 3-for-4 with two RBI. "Some days we're hitting the ball well, and other days we're not, but once guys get something rolling, everybody seems to pick it up for us."
Junior first baseman Kevin Wheeler had three hits and four RBI to lead the 12-hit offensive attack. Senior Jake Wright pitched six innings, allowing just one run on three hits. He retired the first 12 batters of the game before giving up a solo home run to John Vanden Berg to lead off the fifth.
"I think our pitchers are very pleased with what they've done so far," Randall said. "I think they like what's going on."
Pitching also proved key on
friday, with strong performances from senior Jeff Davis and freshman Tom Gorzelanny. Davis pitched six innings, scattering six hits and one run, and striking out seven. Gorzelanny was near perfect, pitching three scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and earning his second save.
"I think we did real well," Davis said. "We put a couple good at-bats together and got some runs when we needed them, and Tom did a great job of coming in and closing it out."
A home run by Holmes broke a 1-1 tie in the fifth, and a 2-run homer by Tribble in the sixth finished the scoring.
The Jayhawks return to action tomorrow, when they play host to Creighton at 3 p.m.

TRACK
CONTINUED FROM 1B
"I can't complain although not throwing 80 feet is a little disappointing," Russell said. "I competed against three of the top five guys today and was able to win. There's only one top thrower I haven't competed against so it is a definite confidence builder, and I'll be able to take the confidence with me to the NCAAs."
Peters had to use some last-minute heroics to claim victory in the long jump.
Trailing Nebraska's Vesna Kostic with just one jump remaining, Peters leapt 19-10 3/4 to win the event by two inches and move into third all-time in KU history.
Coming into the meet with only the Big 12's sixth-best jump, Peters said she didn't expect to win but did expect to produce a personal best.
On her last jump, Peters said
she only had one thing going through her mind, something that assistant coach Milan Donley had been preaching to her all day.
"All I really thought about was getting speed on the runway, just like coach Donley told me," Peters said. "Keep my focus, think about speed on the runway, and don't worry about hitting the little things."
Other top performers for the Jayhawks include: freshman Brooklyn Hann, second in the triple jump with a jump of 41-1 1/2; senior Brian Blachly, second in the 1000 meters with a time of 2:25.57; junior Vadim Gvozdetskiy, who jumped 17-5 3/4 for second in the pole vault; junior Benaud Shirley in the triple jump, finishing second with a mark of 50-7 1/2.

The Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. — Lou Pearlman, the boy-band hitmaker responsible for the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync, has cultivated an avuncular image. Called "Big Poppa" by some of his singers, Pearlman has often been seen taking group members to concerts or to his downtown pizzeria.
But now the Florida Department of Labor is investigating the portly 47-year-old music impresario and his Orlando-based company, Trans Continental Entertainment, for possible violations of the state's child labor laws.
Merrily Goodell, the mother of two members of Take 5 — one of Pearlman's former groups that failed to make it big — filed a complaint last fall alleging Pearlman broke more than a dozen state statutes dealing with minors working
in the entertainment industry.
The complaint says Pearlman violated rules prohibiting minors from working more than six consecutive days, working no earlier than 7 a.m. and no later than 11:30 p.m. and requiring that parents be notified of their children's activities.
She also accuses Pearlman of violating the terms for receiving a state permit allowing minors to work in the entertainment industry.
"It sounds like someone has it in for us," Pearlman said in a telephone interview. "It's just preposterous."
Added Trans Continental Records Vice President Scott Bennett: "Merrily Goodell is obviously fishing for something, whether it's money or whether she's jealous or upset that her boys didn't become rich and famous like some of the other bands Lou has worked with."
"Mr. Pearlman reminds me of
the bully that runs around stealing kids' milk money," said Goodell, who lives in Dollin, Minn.
Pearlman has had no previous child labor complaints filed against him in Florida.
However, both the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync accused Pearlman of deception and cheating them out of money in lawsuits they filed several years ago to get out of Pearlman's control. Pearlman also had a bitter parting with the group O-Town that was documented on the ABC show "Making the Band."
Bob Brandewie, a state child labor coordinator, said he couldn't provide details on the investigation until it's completed. A first-time offense usually results in a warning, but employers can be fined or lose their permit to work with underage performers if they are found in violation during a follow-up investigation, Brandewie said.

Jayhawks fall to No.13 Cyclones after close first half, now 0-15
By Jessica Scott
Kansan sportswriter
In its final road game of the regular season, the Kansas women's basketball team provided a little scare for No. 13 Iowa State on Saturday.
The Jayhawks trailed 29-28 at the half, leaving the 12,850 fans in attendance surprised by the Big 12 Conference's last-place team. But, like so many other times this season, Kansas could not put a complete game together as it watched the Cyclones go on a 15-3 run late in the second half. Behind 15 second-half points from senior Angie Welle, Iowa State grabbed its second win against Kansas, 77-59.
"I thought we had a pretty good
game plan, but we weren't able to be very physical inside," Kansas coach Marian Washington said. "I thought the big difference was twofold: At the free throw line and Welle got open a lot more in the second half."
Kansas (5-23, 0-15 Big 12) shot 5-of-9 from the foul line while the Cyclones (21-6, 9-6) connected on 19 of 21. The Jahayhaws were also plagued by 25 turnovers.
Freshman guard Blair Waltz kept Kansas in the game with 8-of-17 shooting for a career-high 19 points. Waltz also dished out a career-best five assists.
Senior center Nikki White scored her 500th career point Saturday and finished with 11 points, four rebounds and tied her career high of four blocked
Iowa State coach Bill Fennelly said he was shocked at Kansas' aggressive play in the opening half.
shots.
"There was probably a little bit of panic setting in at some point," Fennelly said. "You start thinking about what are you going to say, what are you going to write, what are you going to talk about if you lose to a team that's 0-14."
Fennelly's worries increased when Kansas sophomore Sharonne Spencer hit a basket with four minutes remaining in the first half, capping a 6-0 run by the Jayhawks and giving the Jayhawks a 25-21 lead.
But, the two-time All-American Welle, who finished with 21 points, hit 9-of-10 from the line
while Lindsey Wilson scored 16 points with eight assists.
With this 15th straight loss, the Jayhawks have only one more chance to earn a win in conference play with a Tuesday game against Texas. Washington said she remained hopeful, but the league was relentless on her young team this season.
"I sure would like to see us to win a game in this conference," Washington said. "But this is a rare year. No matter how you cut it, it's a rare year. Seven teams in the top 15, top 20 at least, and it's just incredible."

Junior forward Drew Gooden strains to score against the 'Huskers' Wilson Thomas. Gooden led the Jayhawks with 22 points at Nebraska.

play."
Nebraska (12-13, 5-9) had a chance to win the game after Langford's basket, but when the Cornhuskers inbounded the ball after a timeout with 13 seconds left, Bostchee deflected the pass. The ball rolled to the wrong end of the court where John Robinson scooped up the ball, dribbled back down the court and hurried a 16-foot umper that missed.
John Turek failed to convert a put-back as he tapped the ball toward the hoop after Robinson's shot bounced off the rim. Kansas junior forward Drew Gooden then grabbed the rebound and heaved the ball into the air as time ran out.
"Congratulations to Nebraska because I think they outplayed us," Williams said. "I told (Nebraska coach) Barry (Collier) I almost feel sorry about the outcome of the game because we didn't deserve to win and he did."
Langford's three-pointer was the one that determined the outcome of the game, but it was the Cornhuskers' record-breaking 18-for-37 performance from behind the arc — an all-time high for a Kansas opponent and a Nebraska school record — that forced the Jayhawks to take such a risky final attempt. Seniorguards Cary Cochran, six for 12, and Robinson, six for 11, drilled three-pointers while falling down,
from the baseline and fading away to keep their team in the game.
At one point in the second half, Nebraska made six-straight threepointers, which helped the Cornhuskers go on a 21-4 run over a four-minute span, and gave them a 67-55 lead with 13:43 to go in the game.
"They made almost 50 percent of their three-pointers," said Gooden, who finished with a game-high 26 points and 14 rebounds for his 20th double-double of the season. "It's not like they were all wide open. When we went into a zone their eyes lit up."
"After they made a few of them I said, 'We gotta do something.'
Williams did do something. Kansas' coach said he used the zone defense after halftime to try and protect junior guard Kirk Rich, who got his third foul early in the second half, from intofoul trouble. He fouled out with 45 seconds left.
"They made two or three three-pointers in a row against our zone because we didn't get where we were supposed to be," Williams said. "So I asked the staff, is it worth it to try and protect him because they were scoring three every time? So we got out of that."
Kansas' next game is against Kansas State at 7 p.m. Wednesday in Allen Fieldhouse.

LANGFORD

Kansas coach Roy Williams said the play was designed to go to Boschee off of a screen.
"Brett went to the wrong side, and Keith was trying to get his attention so that it would be Boschee's shot instead of his," Williams said. "That's the kind of unselfishness that you have to have to be successful."
Ballard admitted after the game that he had made a mistake.
Junior guard Kirk Hinrich was in foul trouble most the game, and picked up his fourth foul with 14:34 left in the game. With Hinrich forced to sit on the bench, Ballard received the rare chance to play a significant amount of time — a season-high 15 minutes.
Ballard's only basket of the game couldn't have come at a better time for the Jayhawks. Nebraska had a two-point lead with under a minute to play. Ballard, who seldom shoots the ball, drove from the free-throw line into the paint and hit a layup,
tving the game.
Ballard said it was one of the biggest shots he had made but that he couldn't have done it without the help of junior forward Drew Gooden.
"It was a play we always run," he said. "The lane opened up, and Drew did a good job of sealing off his man."
Along with hitting key shots, Ballard and Langford were solid for the Jayhawks on the defensive end of the floor. Nebraska's guards were hot shooting the ball from outside.
The team swished a Kansas-opponent high 18 three-point shots.
"Coach is always giving us situational plays in practice where we have to make stops two or three plays in a row." Langford said. "We couldn't do that today, but we dug down deep and came up with some big stops when we needed them most."

Fewer donors at drive
Lack of advertising Sept.11 cited for decline since last fall
By Caroline Boyer Kansan staff writer
When the Red Cross called Amy Paquette to let her know about the blood drive on campus this week, she quickly decided she should come and donate blood.
"I like that it stays in the area, because I always hear that it's the small communities that have a low supply and shortages." Paquette, Deland, Fla. senior, said.
Lawrence is experiencing those problems as only about 80 people donated to the blood drive at the ballroom in the Kansas Union. The
American Red Cross and the Community Blood Center are playing host to the drive. It continues for the rest of the week, with the help of volunteers from the Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic Association, Association of University Residence Halls, Kansas University Athletic Corporation and the All Scholarship Hall Council.
Judy Green, blood drive coordinator for the Red Cross, said so far there were fewer donors compared to the drive in October. She said they normally had about 200 people a day.
"The numbers are down, and definitely last semester there were more in response to 9/11." Green said. "It's been a challenge to get the donors back."
Ben Kirby, vice president of philanthropy and community service for the Interfraternity Council, said he hoped students would be able to get to the drive to donate, but if the turnout was
lower, it would reflect the lack of advertising in the University Daily Kansan.
"I think that will probably prove to Student Senate how important it is to advertise in the Kansan," Kirby, Dallas sophomore, said.
Student Senate rejected a proposal to fund the advertising earlier this month because of the Federal Drug Administration's policy of prohibiting homosexual males from donating
"Our greek marketing team has kind of put forward a greater effort to publicize the drive by chalking the sidewalks and getting out to more radio stations." Kirby said.
Amanda Storm, donor recruitment representative with the Community Blood Center, said that they were currently working on less than a two-day supply.
Storm said the drive at Oliver Hall only yielded 65 donors, and normally

Jewish students celebrate Purim holiday
By Maggie Koerth Kansan staff writer
Andrew Zidel wore a purple bathrobe and a crown to the Kansas Union yesterday. "Hag smach, happy holidays!" he called to people as he passed out hamentaschens, traditional Jewish cookies.
The former KU student was there to educate people about Purim, a yearly Jewish holiday, that took place yesterday.
"Purim is a great holiday." Zidel said. "It's like a mixture of Mardi Gras and Halloween."
Purim celebrates the story of Queen Esther of Persia, who risked her life to save her people from the plots of Haman, the king's adviser.
Zidel said Purim was a unique holiday, because of its feminist slant and its lively nature.
"There are four requirements for celebrating Purim," Zidel said. "First we listen to the story of Esther. Then we give food to our neighbors and gifts to the poor. We're also supposed to have a festive meal with more wine than usual."
"Queen Esther, a woman, is the heroine of this holiday. She's the one who acted to save the Jewish people," he said. "A lot of Jewish holidays are really serious. Purim is all about celebration. We're commanded to have a party."
Zidel said costumes were also a big part of the holiday.
"People dress up like characters from

MAKING A LIVING
Delivery driving popular way to earn cash, pay rent
Casey Boyer, Lawrence sophomore, delivers a Yello Sub sandwich to a customer on Ohio street. "Normally we get tipped OK," Boyer said."But there are also times when we have to drive all the way out to say, north Michigan only to get tipped 11 cents."

By Erin Adamson Kansan senior staff writer
With a student population eager to have dinner brought to the front door comes a demand for food delivery drivers.
Delivering everything from pizza to sub sandwiches pays the bills and brings in spending money for many KU students. Drivers can make about $10 per hour with tips, driver's reimbursement and hourly salaries. Many delivery drivers in Lawrence are also students.
Extra cash and the desire for the solitude of his own car prompted Tim Zepick to become a pizza delivery driver for Papa John's Pizza, 2233 Louisiana St. The Wichita senior and University Daily Kansan advertising staff member said he heard from a friend that drivers made good money, and he could listen to his own music while he worked.
Zepick estimated that for the five months he worked for Papa John's Pizza he made $10 an hour on average, including his salary and tips.
One challenge to delivery driving can be wear and tear on the car. Most employers reimburse drivers for transportation costs and a pay set amount for each delivery made. Yellow Sub and Papa John's reimburse about 30 cents per mile for gas. Zepick said car maintenance had not been a problem for him.

Network officials talk to students about usage limits
By Mike Gilligan Kansan staff writer
More than 40 students attended the meeting at the Networking and Telecommunication Services conference room in McColum Hall.
John Lewis, director of NTS, said students began complaining to NTS after a November decision to limit the extent to which students could use file-sharing applications like Morpheus. Lewis said this decision was made because the increase in network traffic was limiting bandwidth for academic use.
Residence hall students and University officials met last night in an attempt to ease tensions over bandwidth restrictions that were put in place last November.
INSIDETODAY
Lewis, who also serves as assistant vice chancellor of Information Technology, explained the problem faced by NTS was an increase in Internet usage over the last five years. He said the University has been unable to keep up with increased demand.
"We don't have enough money to buy more bandwidth," he said. "That's the problem we have right now."
Bandwidth is the amount of user traffic a network can carry. Lewis said downloading pictures and mp3s from the Internet contributed to the increased use of bandwidth. He said students began downloading even larger files last fall, such as movies. The demand for bandwidth for these uses became so great that academic uses were being constrained.
"NTS and ResNet presented the problem of the limited bandwidth to the University of Kansas which decided to limit the use of applications that were not academic."BILKlein, assistant director of NTs, said.
Limiting the applications was intended to speed up the Internet for students using the Web for academic research.
Students said they were upset by the decision. Noor Newman, Wichita freshman, left in the middle of the meeting.
"We weren't given any notice that certain sites would be limited," said Newman. "If my Internet was with another company that wouldn't happen."
Bill Klein, assistant director of NTS, said specific Internet sites were not limited or censored, but certain applications that share files over the Internet were limited. He also said students were given notice of the limiting of certain applications.
Lewis said limiting the applications would only slow them down, but students disagreed.
"They said they limited the use, but you can't even connect to some sites." she said.
One purpose of the meeting was to produce a student committee that would have input into future decisions.
Ann Ermey, ResNet coordinator, said 21 students signed up to be on the committee. ResNet is a branch of NTS. The next meeting, which will include the new student committee will be held on March 11 at the NTS Conference Room.

Committee to help select new engineering dean
A committee will evaluate letters of recommendation Thursday for the nine remaining candidates for the new dean of engineering. The committee will narrow the list of candidates to three or four.
All candidates are current or former deans, associate deans or department chairs, said Tom Mulinazzi, search committee chair and professor of civil engineering. The committee initially received 34 applicants.
The committee, which includes students, staff members and professors from the engineering school as well as university administrators, has diverse opinions about the search. Mulinazzi said.
"Some are looking for good researchers and some are looking for more emphasis on teaching and an interest in students. Some are just going to look at the future dean's management styles," he said. "Everybody on the committee has a stereotype of who they think should be the dean."
The goal of the committee, he said, was to narrow the list of candidates down to three or five and forward that list to Provost David Shulenburger, who will make the final selection.
Carl Locke, dean of engineering, announced last semester that he was stepping down as dean.

Jobs, revenue cited as benefits of proposed store
Some students say hardware franchise will be beneficial, others not so sure
By Lauren Beatty
Kansan staff writer
Students may soon be one step closer to additional part-time retail jobs in Lawrence.
A proposal to build a Home Depot store in Lawrence has faced the city commission for three years. The proposed location of the store is at 31st and Iowa streets, near other chain stores such as Kmart and Wal-Mart.
Though construction has not yet been officially approved, on March 5, the city commission will decide whether to contribute to the street improvements near the proposed location at 31st Street, which would
cost the city $1.4 million. The commission will also discuss the possibility of moving the location of the store to 6th and Wakarusa streets.
Home Depot store representatives from the Topeka and Shawnee stores said about 150 to 200 people were employed at each store. KU students anticipate that, if approved, Home Depot will provide an enticing employment opportunity.
"Just bringing a national name would prompt students to go there," Lobaugh said. "Even out-of-state students might recognize the name."
employment opportunities.
Christa Lobaugh, Wichita junior,
said some of her friends worked at
her hometown Home Depot and
made $8 to $9 per hour. She said the
Home Depot name would draw students in.
However, not all students see the possibility of a new chain store in Lawrence as a worthwhile development. Chris Gurnee, Dodge City junior, said there would be some drawbacks to building a Home Depot.
"Any time a large business comes in it would create jobs, but there's a cost. It would change the commercial make-up by introducing a behemoth of a business." Chris Gurnee Dodge City union
"Any time a large business comes in it would create jobs, but there's a cost," Gurnee said. "It would change the commercial make-up by introducing a behemoth of a business. It
overwhelms the competition and that's why they're successful."
Rod Ernst, owner of Ernst and Sons Hardware, 843 Massachusetts Street, said the competition would hurt small businesses in Lawrence, but not the job market because there were so many students looking for work. Ernst said he had a small work force and didn't feel he would lose any employees to Home Denot
Dan Watkins, a Lawrence attorney representing Home Depot, said Lawrence residents shopped at Home Depot in Olathe or Topeka, and the company thought it would benefit those shoppers to bring a store into Lawrence. Watkins also said the store could generate about $1 million in additional sales tax during the next 10 years.

Students urged to accept body, eat healthy
'Celebrate Every Body week features free lunches, speakers
By Summer Lewis Kansan staff writer
Many people battle with body image, but Watkins Memorial Health Center is encouraging students to "Celebrate Every Body" this week.
The rest of the nation is celebrating National Eating Disorder Week, a week of looking at eating disorders, but Watkins officials are approaching this problem in a more positive way.
The focus of the week will be on the body and staying healthy.
"We are trying to get the message out that all bodies are beautiful and that we need to be more accepting of the body we were given," said Ann Chapman, nutritionist at Watkins.
"We wanted to make this week a real focused time on body-image issues, eating issues and fitness." Chapman said. "We have a variety of
activities on the campus that will deal with these topics."
The week's events begin at noon today at Gertrude Sellars Pearson-Corbin Hall.
There will be soup, sandwich and a speaker for three days at various locations on campus, she said.
"They will be healthy lunches that you can sit down and enjoy, and listen to me speak about different aspects of healthy eating." Chapman said.
Sculptor Larry Kirkwood will talk about body images and his body casts as part of the week. Body casts are molds of actual human bodies, Chapman said.
Prizes will be given away during a nutrition and fitness jeopardy game tomorrow night at GSP.
Students will have an opportunity to exercise together during a walk at Anschutz Sports Pavilion on Sunday. Chapman said there would be music and beverages for the walkers.
"Celebrate Every Body" week activities:
"There will be a leader and she may have people go backwards for a while or do some skipping. We really want this to be fun."she said.
The week will end on Monday night

with a panel discussion and film about body image.
"It talks about how advertising influences women especially to feel a certain way about their bodies, which is a negative way, of course," Chapman said.
Cathe Decena, Leavenworth junior, said that she would attend the luncheons if they fit into her schedule and the food was free.
"On my own, I would not go to GSP.
but if I knew more about the events I would go." Decena said.
Chapman encouraged both men and women to attend the events this week.
"The whole issue of greater body acceptance, healthier eating and fitness certainly impact on men as much as they do on women," she said.

New forum to discuss the writings of C.S. Lewis
By Meredith Carr Kansan staff writer
Four students are starting a new club dedicated to the works of C.S. Lewis, author of The Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe and many other novels.
The members of the C.S. Lewis Forum will meet at 7 p.m. tomorrow at the meeting room in Miller Scholarship Hall to discuss the psychology of the characters from The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe its author.
The group wants other students to learn about Lewis. It is trying to expose as many people as possible to Lewis' writing and many viewpoints.
"People from all different backgrounds can relate to his writings and
use it for themselves on a daily basis," said Alan Emmons, vice president and Loveland, Colo., junior.
Sarah Napientek, president of the forum and Dubuque, Iowa, sophomore, said she had known there was an interest in the author because many students had enrolled in a class about Lewis that was taught by Nancy Yacher, lecturer in the department of English.
Yacher said the class, called Reason and imagination in the Writings of C.S. Lewis, reached its maximum enrollment each semester of 35 students. Many students also requested closed-class openers after the maximum enrollment was met, she said.
Yacher also serves as the forum's sponsor and belongs to the C.S. Lewis
"People from all different backgrounds
basis.'
can relate to his writings and use it for themselves on a daily basis."
Alan Emmons Vice president of C.S. Lewis Forum
Society of Kansas, serving as vice president.
"I am glad students are interested enough in Lewis to start a club, and I'm encouraging their interests," Yacher said.
Napientek said one of the many
interesting aspects of Lewis' writing was its Christian themes. Though the Christian theology is a core part in some of Lewis' novels, the group would rather focus on the psychology of the author, she said.
"We're trying to stray away from the Christian focus because we don't want it to be a Christian group," Emmons said.
From 1950 to 1956, Lewis wrote seven books about the fictional land of Narnia. The wardrobe, from The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe, leads to the land of Narnia. The group wants to have a Narnia Celebration toward the end of April.

Buddhist teacher to lead retreat on meditation next month
By Maggie Koerth Kansan staff writer
Students will have a chance to empty their minds of schoolwork and relax when a famous Buddhist teacher visits the Lawrence area next month.
Lama Surya Das, a nationally recognized Dzogchen Buddhist teacher, will lead a meditation retreat at Tall Oaks Conference Center, March 29-31.
Janet Taylor, organizer of the retreat, said Dzogchen was a branch of Buddhism. She said practitioners of Dzogchen believed everything a person needed to connect with the divine was available in the present moment.
"We believe it is important to be aware of everything because everything in life can help you on your spiritual path," she said.
Taylor said meditation could relieve stress and help people relax.
"It lowers your blood pressure, reduces the adrenalin that your body produces and improves your immune system," she said.
Taylor said mediation could be especially beneficial to students because of all of the stressors in their daily lives.
Taylor's son Aaron Taylor, Prairie Village junior, said he was planning on going to the retreat and was trying to get several of his friends to attend as well. He said he used meditation for school and for his hobby, mountain climbing.
cimbing.
"I use it before a test or before a big climb. It helps focus my mind and conquer fear," Aaron Tavlor said.
He said learning to meditate wasn't difficult.
Janet Taylor said there were many styles of meditation, but Dzogchen meditation would be taught at the retreat.
She said what made Dzogchen different from other meditation styles was the way it tried to incorporate surroundings and other things outside the body into the meditation.
"We meditate with our eyes open so we can be aware of our surroundings," she said.
Pannir Kanagaratnan, Shah-alan, Malaysia graduate student, and president of KU Meditation Club, said meditation could relieve stress because it gave the brain a chance to relax.
"When your mind is focusing on lots of different things it spends energy and gets tired. Meditation clears those other thoughts from the mind and allows it to rest," he said.
Kanagaratnan said a mediation retreat would be good for students, but people who are new to meditation need to be careful about getting caught in a catch-22.
"You might go to get relaxed and get so focused on it that you become stressed out wondering when you'll be relaxed," he said.
during when you travel The Lama Surya Das retreat will be at Tall Oaks Conference Center in Linwood. The Cornerstone Foundation, a group which brings inspirational speakers to the Midwest, and the American Buddhist Center are co-sponsoring the event.
Non-residential tickets are $119 and cover four meals.
The deadline to sign up is March 28. Interested students should contact Janet Taylor at taylor011@earthlink.net or call her at (816) 942-6151 for more information.

Commissioner should live with whomever he chooses
It doesn't matter that this year's elections commissioner lives with a potential candidate for the Delta Force coalition as long as he upholds the integrity of the position and follows the guidelines for his job.
David Mitchell, the commissioner, lives with Drew Thomas, an off-campus senator and Delta Force member. Both Mitchell and Thomas have said Mitchell isn't sharing information with Thomas in any way that would violate the elections code.
Members of the elections commission are approved by a two-thirds majority vote from Student Senate. Then the elections commission hires the commissioner.
It is far from ideal that the elections commissioner lives with a Delta Force member. For the past three years the elections commissioner was in no way connected to either coalition. Obviously, this is the better way to go, but it isn't Mitchell's fault.
Before Mitchell was chosen as commissioner, he disclosed to the commission that he lived with a potential Delta Force candidate. Kyle Brownning, student body vice president who ran with Delta Force last year, said when he heard about Mitchell's situation that he wasn't sure whether it was a good idea.
"It's up to the commission to decide, and they approved him," Browning said.
and they approve it. Branden Bell, a holdover senator who ran against Delta Force with theVOICE coalition last year, has said he was worried that Mitchell would be partisan and biased in favor of Delta Force. But Scott Kaiser, former student body vice president also sits on the elections commission.
Kaiser's Campus Cause coalition ran against Delta Force in 1998, thus it could be inferred by Bell's same argument that Kaiser could be as partisan, if not more partisan, than Mitchell, although he doesn't have the power Mitchell does.
Bell was concerned that changes to the elections code were not properly publicized. Because not many potential candidates knew about the changes to the code, they didn't have the opportunity to lobby to make changes.
mity to lobby to make changes. Potential candidates should've known about the changes to the code without having somebody tell them, but it would've been nice for Mitchell to publicize the changes more than he did.
But this in no way means Mitchell is exhibiting partisan behavior. He didn't specifically notify Delta Force of the changes to the code and not notify Senate.
The commission's responsibility is to ensure fair and honest elections Senate elections. Mitchell hasn't exhibited any partisan behavior thus far, and he should work hard to make sure partisanship doesn't rear its head on the elections commission.

RAs are real people, too,and we know you're sneaking in a beer
W when school is in session I work as an RA, short for resident assistant, best at the
▼ dent assistant, here at the University of Kansas. Questions may abound in your mind, such as: What is a resident assistant?
How can I get one, as I need assistance?
Isn't that the guy that wrote me up for having alcohol in my room?
In response to the last question, yes.
Ever since the University of Kansas became a dry campus in 1987, thanks to the KSA bill 41719, it has been the responsibility of RAs to enforce a sort of prohibition in the residence halls.
Ironically, it shouldn't have to be enforced as nine out of 10 residents are freshmen and still have a few years before they can drink legally.
But, as the saying goes, where there's a will there's a way. I have worked as an RA for two years, and some of the ways people sneak cans of Natural Light into their rooms would make Harry Houdini proud.
I suspect that this is how many magicians got their start. ("And now for my

So as I start to close out my article and realize how much of a dork I am for having the phrase "killer bulletin boards" in this column, just remember that your RAs are people, too.
Granted, some RAs are better than others in certain areas. I just took took down my old bulletin board last weekend, which was all about Santa Claus. But I pride myself on making up for this shortfall by being approachable.
More than likely, they have some sort of a secret social life that, to you, pales in comparison to the cool ritualistic binge drinking that some residents go through every weekend.
So if you have any questions, or are thoroughly confused by this article's suggestion that your RA is a human being, go knock on his or her door and ask him or her to explain how this is possible.

While you're at it, see if you and your RA can come up with a way to kick that nasty binge drinking habit and handle alcohol responsibly. We're all good at solving that one.

Put on the pounds, grab your boxing gloves, get an Oscar
PERSPECTIVE
Most Hollywood actors have one main motivating factor when deciding what movies to be in money. There is no limit to the amount of bad sequels or straight-to-video movies they'll appear in as long as the price is right.
Recently though, some actors have decided that they want to show the world that they are not money-grubbing beast-monkeys, but rather respectable actors. People like Sylvester Stallone, Will Smith and Robin Williams have stopped doing what they're known for and started doing something that they aren't so familiar with—acting.
Movies like Copland, Ali and Good Will Hunting are all examples of this. Not to say that their performances were bad, but it looks as though they're saying, "Hey, if I put on a lot of weight, or grow a beard, will you give me an Academy Award nomination?"
I
These three are just a few examples from a much larger group of people.
The main reason I'm bringing this up is because the Academy Awards turned into something where there's a formula to getting a nomination.
Basically, if you put on weight and decide to play a boxer, you're pretty much a shoo-in for an Oscar. See Smith, Robert De Niro and Denzel Washington.

out awards according to how much weight you put on or Matthew Perry would run away with the statue every year.
year. Another thing is that after they earn their respect, they go right back to making the same types of movies that made people lose respect for them in the first place. The only difference is that the preview can say Men in Black 2 stars "Academy Award nominee Will Smith" rather than just "Will Smith."
Let's say you don't want to put on weight. Don't worry. All you have to do is play a character with a mental disability, or a tortured genius and you've got it locked up too. See Dustin Hoffman, Geoffrey Rush, Russell Crowe, yada, yada...
Can't the Oscars give out an award to someone who can just play a normal person really well? Does there always have to be crying scenes and all this "triumph of the human spirit" rubbish? What about Ben
All I'm asking for is a little variety in the type of roles that get nominated. Actors in comedies are rarely nominated. Most young people are overlooked, too.
After seeing this year's nominations full of boxers and tortured geniuses, it doesn't look like I'm going to get my wish. I have hope for the future though.
but until then, I am starting my Oscar campaign for next year. I will be playing a boxer/ tortured genius/ single mom in a movie entitled I Am Sam Raging Bull "The Hurricane" Brockovich.
Stiller as Greg Focker in Meet the Parents? Or Eugene Levy for Best in Show? If you ask me they were robbed.
Forget the fact that I'm one the seven worst actors of all time, (I just edged out Steve Forbes) because the academy probably will, too, and give me the nomination. So watch the 2003 Oscars and see if I'm there.
Oscars and see if I can judge by my fashion sense you can look for me on Joan Rivers' annual Worst Dressed List. Unless of course I take Jennifer Lopez as my date, in which case no one would even notice me.

several other maintenance problems, such as a broken screen door and a leak in her roof.
"They supposedly came and fixed the roof, but it still leaks, and we're on the top floor," she said. "It was frying our smoke alarm."
She said maintenance gave her a new smoke alarm, but the water from the leak shorted out the new alarm. Now she has a bucket on the floor to catch the drips from the rain.
According to George Waters Management, there was record of a smoke detector being replaced in Bauer's apartment, but it could not find any requests to repair the roof.
Bauer said she considered visiting Legal Services for Students or even filing a 14-to-30-day notice.
Cornell Mayfield, a tenant and landlord counselor at Housing and Credit Counseling Incorporated, 2518 Ridge Ct., said there were legal options a rent could take if the landlord wouldn't comply with building safety codes.
Mayfield said if the landlord hadn't fixed something within 24 hours after the tenant reported it,
the tenant could send a registered letter as a notice to the landlord, called a 14-to-30 day notice.
A 14-to-30 day notice is a letter that the tenant sends by registered mail to the landlord. The letter must state that the landlord has 14 days to fix the problem. If the landlord does not comply, the tenant can legally terminate the lease in 30 days. The 14-to-30 day notice, a part of the Kansas Landlord and Tenant Act, requires that the maintenance problem be something materially affecting the health or safety of the tenant.
Students who have similar problems can contact Legal Services for Students to discuss options. Michele Kessler, assistant director of Legal Services for Students, said that a 14-to-30 day notice was a last resort for tenants, and the landlord would most likely fix the problem before a notice gets filed.
"The landlord must make an effort to fix it," Kessler said. "They don't have to actually fix it within 14 days."
Barry Walthall, city inspector for Lawrence's Neighborhood Resource department, said the code enforcement division could take care of maintenance inquiries. Inspectors are familiar with city building code and can verify if the problem violates that
code. If the inspectors find a problem, they issue a violation notice and give the landlord a specified amount of time to fix the problem.
"If the landlord will not comply, we do take them to court," Walthall said. "But we have pretty good compliance in the cases that we get."
He said they get two or three complaints a week from tenants. The biggest problem in Lawrence is a tack of smoke detectors. Sometimes the landlord fails to provide them or maintain smoke detectors properly, and some tenants take the batteries out, he said.
Walthall said students should also check their apartments to make sure the bathroom and kitchen were equipped with ground fault circuit interrupters that have a button to reset the circuits and that the tenant can get out of the apartment in case of an emergency.
"They can call us anytime if they feel like there's an immediate hazard," he said, "if they don't get a response in a reasonable time period from their landlord, they can contact us."

BLOOD DRIVE

"The need for blood is constant and continuing. Blood only has a shelf life of 42 days." Green said.
Green said this might be a harder time for people to donate because of colds and the flu, but it would be important to get the donors in. There was recently an emergency appeal for types B positive and O negative.
Last semester, the blood drive beat its goal of 1,175 pins by gathering 1,374 pints. The Red Cross has a goal of 1,225 pints for this drive. Last semester, 1,820 people registered to give blood and 1,374 were able to donate.
Queers and Allies, which has said that the drive discriminated against homosexuals, will not protest as they did in the fall. Christine Robinson, Q&A member and Lawrence graduate student, said the organization thought Student Senate's decision not to fund advertising for the drive in the Kansan was enough.

Eve Katz, Birmingham, Ala. senior, came dressed as Queen Esther. She said dressing up was her favorite part of the holiday.
"I also love the cookie-making," she said. The hamentaschens, or Haman's hat, cookies are shortbread triangles stuffed with fruit filling.
Katz is the public relations intern for Hillel, KU's Jewish campus organization. She said Hillel was passing out the hamentaschens so Jewish students could celebrate Purim and so non-Jewish students could learn about the holiday.
Even though Hillel didn't have any Purim celebrations last night, Katz said Jewish temples usually did a lot for the holiday.
"I there is always a reading of the Esther story," she said. "It's done like an old-fashioned melodrama and it's very interactive. The audience yells back and whenever Haman's name is mentioned they make a lot of noise and boo him."
She said the temple in her home town had a carnival every year as well.
"It's a great holiday for kids." she said.
Rachel Greenberg, San Antonio, Texas senior, agreed. She said she loved the holiday when she was a child and still had fond memories of it.
Students who missed Hillel's table in the Union will have a chance to try hamentaschens tonight. Katz said.
She said Hillel had arranged for a gourmet cook to teach students how to make the cookies. Baking starts at 6 tonight in the KU Hillel house, 940 Mississippi. The event is free and open to the public.

Sebelius commences campaign for governor
The Associated Press
TOPEKA—Kathleen Sebelius promised yesterday to fight high health care costs if elected governor, but wouldn't say as she kicked off her campaign whether there should be higher taxes to solve the state's budget problems.
Sebelius, the insurance commissioner and Democratic gubernatorial candidate, portrayed herself as a tough consumer advocate and pronounced herself "ready to fight for everyday Kansans."
She said as insurance commissioner, she had already used a counseling program in her office to save the elderly money on prescription drugs and had fought insurance companies when they had unfairly denied medical coverage.
"You can be absolutely certain I have the will and the independence to fight for Kansas families," she said.
Sebelius kicked off her campaign with a rally in the cafeteria of Topeka High School. Her youngest son, John, is a senior atthe school.About 250 people attended.
She also scheduled stops yesterday in Overland Park, Wichita and Pittsburg and today in Hays, Garden City, Colby and Norton.
With legislators facing a projected
$426-million gap between expected revenues and spending commitments, gubernatorial candidates already have faced the question of how they would respond.
Sebelius said she would look for inefficiencies in government first, and the debate should start with cutting spending.
Sebelius' political intentions have hardly been a secret. In August, she named a treasurer and formed a fundraising committee for a gubernatorial run, and she finished last year with more than $550,000 in her campaign account, more than any other declared candidate.
She gave the same answer when asked about a proposal from Gov. Bill Graves, a Republican, to increase the state's cigarette tax by 65 cents a pack.
Asked whether she would support tax increases, Sebelius said, "I'm not going to second-guess the governor and the Legislature during the session."
Sebelius is the Democratic Party's only statewide officeholder, making her the natural choice to be its nominee for governor.
Three Republican candidates have announced their intent to run for governor — Attorney General Carla Stovall, State Treasurer Tim Shallenburger and Wichita Mayor Bob Knight.

Early admission criticized
The Associated Press
METUCHE, N.J. — William Hoffman started his college search in 10th grade. By the start of his senior year last fall, he knew his first choice was Harvard. The school even sent him a letter, encouraging him to apply.
So Hoffman, ranked third academically at Metuchen High School in northern New Jersey, applied early to Harvard last October and did the same with the University of Chicago, as a fall back. But months later, Hoffman still doesn't know where he'll go to college — illustrating just one of the problems critics find with early admission.
The practice has become a powerful draw in a market where colleges covet the best
candidates and students pursue a belief that the better the diploma, the better their future.
But some critics, including Yale's president, say it can force teenagers into premature decisions and gives unfair advantage to those with money and admissions know-how. It also stretches the wait for people like Hoffman.
Early admission was first used in the 1950s by elite colleges, but the practice spread about a decade ago. Now more than 400 colleges and universities invite high school seniors to apply ahead of the crowd, a College Board survey found.
Generally, these schools offer "early decision," which requires those admitted to withdraw applications elsewhere, or nonbinding "early action," offered
Of 1.2 million applicants for the freshman class of 2000, about 163,000 sought early admission — nearly 14 percent, the College Board found.
by both Harvard and Chicago Some offer both.
"The pressure admissions has brought to America's teenagers is pretty substantial," Levin said. Early admission only makes it worse, he believes.
Yale President Richard Levin has called for an end to early admissions and has floated the idea to the school's governing board and fellow college presidents.
Ostensibly, early admission serves people like Hoffman, who began senior year ready to apply. But it also helps colleges secure a chunk of the freshman class and
burnish their image as selective.
"My sense is that the universities and colleges that practice early admission have focused mainly on the advantages that practice brings them," Levin said. They "haven't listened sufficiently to parents, students, counselors and principals about the adverse effects."
Growing rivalry for admission to places like Yale, which will enroll some 1,300 freshmen next fall, compels too many teens to pick a first choice too soon, Levin said.
For those rejected in the early round, it prolongs the preoccupation with entry to a good school, he said. Now those students must wait until March and April, the peak for regular admissions.
AIDS drugs saving more lives
The Associated Press
SEATTLE — Doctors have been so successful in saving the lives of people with AIDS that the number of Americans with HIV is actually increasing again after holding steady for years and is now approaching 1 million, according to government estimates.
Experts say the total number of Americans living with HIV is probably rising by about 25,000 a year - a testament to the power of AIDS drugs that have vastly improved treatment over the past six years.
The government estimates that 40,000 Americans acquire HIV each year, a figure that has remained roughly stable for over a decade. However, until the
turnaround in AIDS therapy, this figure was nearly offset each year by AIDS deaths, so the total number of Americans carrying the virus stayed level.
Now, AIDS deaths have plunged from around 40,000 annually to about 15,000. As a result, new infections are outstripping deaths.
Dr. Patricia Fleming of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention presented the new estimates Monday at the Ninth Annual Retrovirus Conference in Seattle.
The latest estimate of U.S. HIV prevalence, calculated as of 2000, is between 850,000 and 950,000 people.
According to the CDC, the total number of infected Americans has
increased by about 50,000 in the last two years studied, 1999 and 2000. That suggests the total could reach 1 million this year.
Survival increased almost overnight when drug combinations that included medicines called protease inhibitors transformed HIV from a death sentence to a chronic treatable illness.
By the late 1990s, many doctors feared these gains would evaporate as the treatments lost their punch. Doctors noticed that after initial success that seemed to eliminate HIV, many patients developed viruses that were resistant to all the major classes of medicines.
Doctors worried that the virus would eventually resume its destruction of their immune defenses.
To their relief, this has not often happened. Even when resistant virus emerges, patients who stay on the drugs usually keep their HIV levels low and remain free of obvious disease. Dr. Constance Benson of the University of Colorado said that in her AIDS practice, the annual death rate is 1 percent to 2 percent and is not changing.
"The fear that treatment failure would result in a subsequent rise in mortality has not so far panned out," she said.
A major CDC goal is to increase testing among people at high risk of acquiring HIV. Infected people should know about it so they can begin treatment and guard against spreading HIV to others.
Soldier killed during training session
The Associated Press
CARTHAGE, N.C. — When he spotted the pickup truck with someone crouching in the back, exposed to the blustery, 40-degree cold, Deputy Sheriff Randall Butler got suspicious.
His fears were heightened after he pulled the truck over and noticed a duffel bag with a disassembled rifle inside. Then one of the three men in the truck came at him. He used pepper spray, then opened fire, killing one man and wounding another.
What Butler apparently didn't know was that two of the suspicious men were actually Army Special Forces soldiers training for their coveted green berets.
The soldiers, in turn, thought Butler was an actor in their roleplaying exercise, according to
the account given by Moore County sheriff's officials.
The deadly mixup near Fort Bragg on Saturday has shaken Army officials, who plan to reexamine how they carried out the training exercise that they have been conducting for decades.
Army officials said the Sheriff's Department had not been told about Saturday's exercise because the Army did not think the department would be involved.
No criminal charges will be filed, prosecutor Garland Yates said. Butler "reasonably believed that he was confronted with a threat justifying his use of deadly force." Yates said, and the soldiers believed Butler "was a participant in a legitimate training exercise."
1st Lt. Tallas Tomeny was killed and Sgt. Stephen Phelps
was wounded, a Fort Bragg spokesman said. Their ages and hometowns were not immediately available, though the Tampa Tribune quoted relatives of Phelps who said he was a former resident of Clearwater, Fla.
Tomeny and Phelps were taking part in "Robin Sage," the final leg of training for soldiers trying to become Green Berets.
The two soldiers were in a truck driven by a civilian participant when Butler pulled them over on a rural road outside Robbins, about 30 miles from Fort Bragg. Chief Deputy Sheriff Lane Carter said Butler had seen the truck twice during a 30-minute period and thought the occupants were acting oddly.
After stopping the truck and seeing the duffel bag with a weapon, he ordered the two people in the cab to get out, and threw the bag on the ground. Carter said.
The soldiers then apparently tried to disarm Butler.
Tomeny tried to assault the deputy, Carter said. Butler sprayed him with pepper spray. Phelps came out of the back of the truck and tried to grab the weapon in the bag, and Butler shot and wounded him, Carter said. Tomeny came at him again and was shot to death.
Phelps was in serious condition yesterday.
Robin Sage is the 19-day final exam of the Special Forces Qualification Course. Conducted since the 1950s in North Carolina, it tests skills in survival, tactics and dealing with people, as well as judgment, decision-making and ethics.
Plea agreement reached in diluted drugs case
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Pharmacist Robert R. Courtney has reached a plea agreement with the government in a chemotherapy drugs dilutions case, his attorney says.
Courtney attorney Jean Paul Bradshaw declined to specify what type of plea Courtney would enter, or whether a sentence for Courtney had been agreed to. But he said that in "a case like this, it would be unusual for the government to agree to anything less than to a straight-out guilty plea."
Courtney had pleaded innocent to all 20 charges in the case. A change of plea hearing has been scheduled for today in federal court.
If convicted on all 20 charges, Courtney would face up to 196 years in prison.
U. S. Attorney's Office spokesman Chris Whitley declined yesterday to confirm a plea agreement, "We never talk about plea negotiations in any case," he said.
Earlier this month, prosecutors indicated in a letter to a judge that new charges were possible. And U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert E. Larsen told the attorneys that a new indictment could be issued when a grand jury meets today.
Courtney's attorneys have lost one battle after another at the federal courthouse. Larsen had denied Courtney's attempts to throw out Courtney's confession, to move the trial, and to have the charges thrown out as unconstitutional. He has been jailed since he turned himself in to the FBI on Aug. 15.
The plea agreement comes less than two weeks before Courtney's trial was scheduled to begin on 20 counts of misbranding, adulterating and mislabeling the chemotherapy drugs Taxol and Gemzar.
Agrand jury indicted Courtney on 20 charges in August. They included eight charges of drug tampering, and six each of adulterating and misbranding drugs. Courtney had pleaded innocent.
Investigators said they also turned up suspicious or low-potency samples of Paraplatin, Platinol, Procrit, Neupogen, Roferon and Zofran, according to court records.
The government claims Courtney confessed that he diluted the chemotherapy drugs so he could pocket the difference in price. Courtney owed more than $600,000 in taxes and $330,000 on a pledge to his church, according to court papers. Prosecutors estimated his net worth at about $10 million before the case broke.
Neighbor to be charged with murder of missing girl
The Associated Press
SAN DIEGO — A 7-year-old girl who vanished from her home earlier this month is apparently dead, and murder charges will be filed against a neighbor, a prosecutor said yesterday.
Prosecutor Paul Pfingst also said he will file a so-called special circumstance — murder during kidnapping — that will carry the possibility of the death penalty if David Westerfield is convicted.
"I must conclude that Danielle van Dam is no longer living and was killed," Pfingst told a news conference. He said he made his conclusion after consulting with investigators, fellow prosecutors and the girl's family. Traces of Danielle's blood have been found but her body has not been located.
Westerfield, 50, who lives two doors from the van Dam home, was arrested Friday and was initially held for investigation of kidnapping. He will be arraigned today, the district attorney said.
Daniele's parents, Damon and Brenda van Dam, discovered
their daughter missing the morning of Feb. 2. Police believe she was abducted from her second-floor bedroom of the family's north San Diego home after her father put her to bed the previous evening.
Teams of volunteers have scoured remote locations east of San Diego for the girl, and thousands of filers have been handed out.
Authorities said last week that they found traces of Danielle's blood in a motor home and on an article of Westerfield's clothing. They also confiscated child pornography from his home, Police Chief David Bejarano said.
Westerfield has been held without bail in the San Diego County jail.
Westerfield's attorney, Steven Feldman, said previously he will likely ask a judge to impose a gag order on everyone involved in the case.
Westerfield, a divorced father of two grown children, has a 1996 conviction for drunken driving but no violent criminal history, police said.

Trials delayed for men accused of killing reporter
The Associated Press
KARACHI, Pakistan — A Pakistani judge yesterday gave prosecutors two more weeks to build their case against three Islamic militants accused in the kidnapping and murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl.
The judge in the southern city of Karachi ordered top suspect Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh and two alleged accomplices jailed until their next court hearing. Police will continue to search for Pearl's body.
In Islamabad, the U.S. ambassador said she would meet with President Pervez Musharraf on tomorrow to discuss Saeed's extradition to the United States. President Bush said the United States was "interested in dealing with" Saeed, but had expressed confidence that Pakistan was doing enough to round up Pearl's killers.
Saeed and two co-defendants — Sheikh Mohammed Adeel and Salman Saqib — were brought to a special antiterrorism court. Dozens of policemen patrolled the corridors and grounds of the courthouse. The suspects were taken to a closed hearing in the judge's cham-
bera. A preliminary indictment expected
vered was delayed by the judge.
Inside the judge's chamber, all three suspects said they had been forced to sign pieces of paper to be used in falsifying confessions, according to defense attorney Khawaja Naveed.
Charges are expected to include murder, following Friday's disclosure of a gruesome videotape showing the 38-year-old journalist being decapitated.
At least four key suspects are at large. The main target of a nationwide police manhunt is Amjad Faruqi, who police believe carried out the kidnapping.
Seaeed, the British-born Islamic militant who police said masterminded Pearl's Jan. 23 abduction, stunned a courtroom on Feb. 14 when he confessed to the kidnapping and announced that as far as he knew, Pearl was dead.
The question of whether Saeed could be extradited to the United States emerged Sunday when Newsweek magazine reported that a
Court officials said that confession would not be enough to convict Saeed because it was not made under oath. Yesterday, Naveed said Saeed did not want to give a sworn confession.
U. S. federal grand jury had secretly indicted him for his role in the 1994 kidnapping of four Western tourists in India, including one American.
The United States and Pakistan do not have an extradition treaty.
The U.S. government wanted Saeed extradited from Pakistan at least two months before he was implicated in Pearl's slaying, Ambassador Wendy Chamberlin said yesterday. Chamberlin said she would raise the extradition issue anew during her meeting Tuesday with Musharraf
The videotape that confirmed Pearl's death was delivered to U.S. officials in Karachi on Thursday. According to investigators, the tape showed Pearl being forced to say he was Jewish and then having his neck cut while he was unconscious or already dead. The only face shown in the video was Pearl's.
Quereshi, the chief prosecutor, said that the images of the hands mutilating Pearl could be used by the prosecution as evidence.
Adeel and Saqib, the two defendants who appeared in court with Saeed, have been accused of sending e-mails
announcing Pearl's kidnapping. A third accused e-mailer, 21-year-old Fahad Naseem, was not in court.
Mohammed Aslam, Adeel's brother, insisted yesterday that Adeel was innocent, but confirmed that his brother had been involved in Islamic "holy war" activities for years. He said Adeel spent time in Afghanistan as recently as December to support that country's now ousted Taliban regime.
Authorities originally said Saeed was arrested on Feb. 12, but the senior investigator confirmed yesterday that he had surrendered on Feb. 5. He said intelligence officers kept the surrender under wraps because they were trying to get Saeed to lead them to Pearl.
In their hunt for the remaining suspects, police believe they may have found a link to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida terrorist network, citing the involvement of three Arabs who were allegedly seen accompanying Faruqi.
Pearl had been investigating alleged links between Pakistani militants and Richard C. Reid, who was arrested in December for allegedly trying to detonate explosives in his sneakers during a Paris-Miami flight.
Ex-ruling party race in Mexico too close to call
The Associated Press
MEXICO CITY—The two candidates to be the next president of Mexico's former ruling party had to delay any victory parties as partial results yesterday showed the election too close to call.
With 60.6 percent of the votes counted, Beatriz Paredes had 53.1 percent of valid votes while Roberto Madrazo had 46.9 percent after an unexpectedly heavy turnout in Sunday's election in the Institutional Revolutionary Party.
But that count was unofficial and Sen. Humberto Roque Villanueva, overseeing the election, said the official count was expected later in the week.
Roque said more than 3 million people voted in the PRI's first-ever open internal election. PRI officials printed 9 million ballots but only expected as few as 1.5 million voters to turn out.
Paredes said she received "firm data" showing her ahead late Sunday.
when the early party counts were nearly even, but she would respect the results announced by Roque's commission.
In a scene reminiscent of old-style Mexican politics, about 500 people who claimed to be Madrazo supporters burst into PRI headquarters in Mexico City late Sunday demanding that the commission recognize his victory.
Roque said the incursion forced the vote-counting center to shut down for a time. Madrazo aides said the invasion had been organized by rivals to discredit him.
Although protesters forced building doors open, they did not cause any damage or injuries.
during his term.
Roque insisted that the party would emerge stronger from the first open vote for its internal leader — a figure who in the past was imposed by Mexico's president.
"Our political death has been predicted many times" since the July 2000 presidential election that ended the PRI's 71-year hold on the presidency, Roque said in a broadcast interview.
The party president will help determine ideology, negotiate with President Vicente Fox's government and have a powerful say in choosing candidates.
Many elections during the PRI's seven-decade reign were marred by fraud allegations. PRI leaders went so far as to invite international election observers to oversee balloting. Still, each candidate accused the other of misconduct.
But Sunday's contest also represented a chance for the party to at least partially restore a reputation tainted by corruption.
Paredes supporters accused the Madrazo campaign of distributing fliers in Mexico state containing false information about voting locations to confuse Paredes supporters, committing fraud in Chiapas and distributing gifts to Madrazo voters in Veracruz.
Madrazo backers accused the Parades campaign of pressuring voters in
Mexico state and claimed that some officials there violated election rules by intervening for the candidate. The Madrazo campaign also protested after the Paredes campaign released an unofficial exit poll.
Paredes — a tough, no-nonsense politician considered the underdog took a leave of absence as the PRI's leader in the lower house of Congress to run for the party presidency. She is former governor of Tlaxcala state and former ambassador to Cuba.
Madrazo is the former governor of Tabasco state, a former federal congressman and a former PRI senator.
A win by Madrazo is considered key to his ambition to run in the 2006 nationwide presidential elections. Some fear that if Madrazo loses, he will bolt the party and bring many PRI supporters with him.
But Roque told the government news agency Notimex that PRI leaders were prepared to work with the losing candidate to prevent a defection.
Candidate in Zimbabwe charged with treason
The Associated Press
HARARE, Zimbabwe — The main challenger to President Robert Mugabe was charged yesterday with treason for allegedly plotting to assassinate the Zimbabwe leader before the presidential vote.
Morgan Tsvangirai denied allegations and pledged to continue campaigning for the March 9-10 elections.
"This whole thing is contrived to damage me politically. The timing is obvious." Tsvangirai said.
Mugabe, the southern African nation's only leader since winning independence from Britain, is fighting for his political survival as Zimbabwe's economy collapses.
Police questioned Tsvangirai, president of the Movement for Democratic Change, Zimbabwe's main opposition party, yesterday. He was charged with treason, released and
told he would be summoned later. Treason convictions carry the death penalty in Zimbabwe.
Two senior party colleagues, Secretary-General Welshman Ncube and shadow Agriculture Minister Renson Gasela, were charged.
In Washington, a State Department spokesman said the charge "falls against a backdrop of a very well-documented campaign of violence and intimidation against the opposition."
"We're aware of no convincing evidence that there's any basis for these allegations," said spokesman Richard Boucher.
He said the allegations appeared to be another example of Mugabe's "increasingly authoritarian rule."
Zimbabwe has been wracked by political violence over the past two years.
Yesterday, South African observers accused police of failing to protect
opposition supporters from attacks by ruling party activists.
Mugabe said that he would not have Tsvangirai arrested before the elections despite allegations of the assassination plot.
The government said Tsvangirai met with members of a Canada-based political consulting firm last year to arrange for Mugabe's elimination.
Tsvangirai said he hired the Canadian consulting firm to lobby abroad for his party, known as the MDC. He said his recorded remarks were taken out of context.
Ten days ago, the firm released a secretly recorded videotape of a Dec.4 meeting in Montreal, which they said incriminated Tsvangirai.
On the tape, Tsvangirai said: "We have moved so far we can now definitely say that Mugabe is going to be eliminated. But what is the transitional arrangement?"
A local media monitoring group said the recording had been heavily edited and rearranged.
Ben-Menasha left Harare on Sunday after meeting with authorities.
Mugabe has told supporters he knew of the alleged plot last year but did nothing to have Tsvangirai arrested "for fear of plunging the country into chaos."
Last Friday, the Herald newspaper, a government mouthpiece, reported that Tsvangirai claimed he would receive the support of the United States and other governments to head a transitional government following Mugabe's planned assassination.
Tsangirai's motorcade has been attacked at least three times in the last two years since political violence began before the June 2000 parliamentary elections.
the second day, whose speech was broadcast live on state-run radio, also praised Iran for taking in some 2 million Afghan refugees over the years.
"We will never forget your support of the Afghan nation's struggle against the former Soviet Union and later against terrorists," Karzai said on the second day of his first official visit to Iran.
Speaking to the Iranian Majis, or parliament in Persian — the language of Iran and western and central Afghanistan — Karzai assured Iranians the Afghan people would not forget.
After repeated charges by Washington that Tehran was sending fighters and money into Afghanistan to destabilize the post-Taliban leadership, President Bush declared that Iran, Iraq and North Korea form an "axis of evil" that seeks weapons of mass destruction and supports terrorism.
"You have shared our sorrows and pains, and millions of our refugees have been a big burden on your shoulders," he said.
Karzai was hailed in the United States last month when he visited Bush and other dignitaries. The interim leader was sitting in the gallery of the U.S. House of Representatives as Bush made the "axis of evil" assertion in his Jan. 29 State of the Union speech. He received as warm a welcome in the Iranian Parliament as he did in the U.S. Congress.
TEHRAN, Iran — Ignoring U.S. claims that Iran seeks to destabilize his country, interim Afghan leader Hamid Karzai thanked Tehran yesterday for helping Afghanistan fight terrorism and throw off the yoke of Soviet occupation more than a decade ago.
Karzai also met with Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who warned the Afghan leader his government "should be careful that the issue of reconstruction is not exploited by others to infiltrate Afghanistan politically and economically." Iranian state television reported, in an obvious reference to U.S. involvement.
Israel considers Saudi proposal
JERUSALEM — Israel said yesterday it is exploring with interest a tentative Saudi proposal that calls for an Israeli pullout from virtually all the territories it occupied in the 1967 Middle East war in return for comprehensive peace.
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has fiercely opposed a total pullout. But he knows Israelis are despondent over 17 months of dead-end conflict and eager for a ray of hope. The Saudi proposal offers two things Israel craves: Broad acceptance by Arab states and a negotiating partner beyond Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.
However, any discussion of significant concessions to Palestinians could undermine Sharon's governing coalition — a patchwork of parties with widely divergent positions on the land-for peace idea. The Palestinians and moderate Arabs have welcomed the Saudi idea, and Secretary of State Colin Powell said Sunday it was an important step he hoped would be fleshed out in the next few weeks.
The Associated Press
Sharon's spokesman, Raanan Gissin, told The Associated Press on yesterday that Israel was "trying to find out through the United States and other sources ... if this is a real proposal."
O
"If indeed a reasonable offer is presented ... that will guarantee not just that Israel gives back territory but that real, true normalization will develop—I think you can restore the confidence in peace because most of the people want peace." Gissin said.
Trying to build momentum, Israel's President Moshe Katsav said Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah should come to Israel for talks, or alternatively receive him in Riyadh. However, Katsav has a mainly ceremonial role, and the real power rests with Sharon. When Katsav wanted to address the Palestinian parliament recently, Sharon blocked the plan.

Local band set to release its first CD
Jessica Tims
Jessica Tims Kansan staff writer
The local trio Ghosty will celebrate the release of their first CD, The Fine Short Minutes EP, at 10 p.m. tonight at the Bottleneck. 737 New Hampshire.
The release follows Ghosty's second-place finish at last year's Farmer's Ball, a battle of the bands sponsored yearly by KJHK.
Following that success, the band cut its first CD in bass player Jacob Baum's bedroom.
Guitarist Andrew Connor, Sioux Falls, S.D. junior, said the hardest part of recording the CD was laying down each instrument and the vocals separately.
"We did it all at home, so it was a bit more time consuming," he said. "Jacob has a good set up in his house, and we did it all on the Pro-tool computer program."
The bandmates agree that Ghosty has a sound its all its own
that is not easily compared to other musicians.
"Our music is like no one that I can think of," drummer Richard Gintowt, Palatine, Ill., junior, said. "I have been told we sound like Red House Painter, Quasi, The Kinks, Flaming Lips and Big Star."
Gintowt said the release party will start at 10 p.m. with opening bands Billy Music and Letter E. Ghosty will take the stage after Letter E and play songs ranging from older to more recently written material. The set will feature songs not included on the CD.
Opening band, Billy Music, is from Connor's hometown, and features some of his friends. Connor said.
The cover charge will be $4 for those 21 and older and $6 for those under 21. The show is open to the public.
Ghosty began to take shape two-and-a-half years ago, said drummer Gintowt. He and guitarist Connor started playinggui-
tar together in Hashinger Residence Hall their freshman year
"We played at Hashinger Hall events," Gintowt said. "I didn't tell him I played the drums until we had been playing together for about three months."
Connor said he knew he wanted Gintowt to be the group's drummer the first time Connorr heard Gintowt play the drums.
Ghosty had two bass players prior to Baum, Hays junior. Gwintowt said Baum was not a bass player when he made the decision to join the band.
"We picked up Jacob for the Farmer's Ball last year." Gintowt said. "He hadn't played bass before, but he was a guitar player so it wasn't hard. He was interested in the band so he bought a bass and we got 10 songs together."

"I had a really fuel efficient car that I bought for delivery, so I don't think I spent a dollar on gas," he said.
Casey Boyer, Lawrence sophomore, works as a delivery driver at Yellow Sub. 624 W. 12th, and has also delivered for Mojo's, 714 Verm St.
She said she hadn't worried about the dependability of her car.
"I have a lot more miles on my car than I probably should."
Boyer said Yellow Sub drivers received 75 cents for every delivery plus 30 cents per mile.
"I usually end up with about a hundred dollars, at least in a driver's check, which more than reimburses me for gas," she said.
Boyer works about 30 hours per week and uses her income to pay for bills and spending.
Boyer said she appreciated daily tips—which brought her salary to about $10 per hour—and the independence of her job.
"It's definitely nice on a nice day when everyone is stuck in the store and you can roll your windows down and listen to music and drive around." she said.
Adam McLaughlin, Blue Springs, Mo., senior, used to deliver for Papa John's Pizza and now delivers for Domino's Pizza, 832 Iowa St.
McLaughlin said he didn't know if drivers came out ahead with transportation reimbursement because of the wear on their cars. He drove an older car when he first began delivering.
"After a while it just starts to break down and you worry about it a lot," he said.
Still, the perks outweigh the problems for McLaughlin
"The main reason I stay with it is the money. It's nice to have cash in your pocket at the end of the night." he said.
Another downside to delivering can be the customers. Delivering pizza late at night, McLaughlin said he dealt with a lot of drunk people who enjoyed giving delivery drivers a hard time by not being at the address they gave to pay for the pizza or verbally harassing the delivery driver.

Rebels flee Colombian training camp
Rebel commanders who once sipped imported liquor in bungalows outfitted with televisions, showers and satellite phones have retreated to the bush, where they are being hunted by government troops.
LAS DELICIAS, Colombia — A fortified training camp with classrooms and an obstacle course. Well-appointed commanders' quarters with printouts on U.S. anti-terrorism strategy. A bottle of Danish vodka.
The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, left many items in their jungle camps as they fled a military offensive in their former safe haven, giving visiting reporters a unique glimpse into Latin America's oldest and largest guerrilla group.
The guerrillas have retaliated by destroying bridges, power stations, towers for electric lines, and telecommunications facilities. The government said yesterday that 56 towns were without electricity or were rationing it.
President Andres Pastrana ceded the safe haven — an area twice the size of New Jersey — three years ago at the start of the peace process, but revoked it last week after talks collapsed.
Yesterday, FARC rebels killed a soldier outside the city of Florencia as troops tried to push guerrillas away from an area with power lines, a military source said. A bombpacked bus on a highway leading to Florencia exploded while soldiers tried to deactivate it, killing a sergeant and a private and
San Vicente del Caguan, the main town in the former rebel stronghold, had no water, telephone service or electricity yesterday because of rebel sabotage. Food supplies were dwindling, and roadblocks by rebel holdouts and a ban on flights have cut the town off from the rest of the country, said Mavor Nestor Ramirez.
For the second times in weeks, rebels set off an explosion at a dam complex providing water to the capital, but the damage was not serious enough to effect the water supply, said Bogota Mayor Antanas Mockus.
A small group of FARC rebels found deep in the zone told reporters they had used the three years to "grow stronger" — exactly what Pastrana's generals had been warning all along.
wounding another soldier, according to reporters at the scene.
One abandoned rebel camp near the village of Los Pozos was protected by a sand-bagged guard post. A five-foot-deep trench ran along the perimeter.The camp had classrooms and an obstacle course complete with a climbing ramp, wooden chin-up bars and cement barbells.
The camp was eerily silent when reporters visited it Sunday, save for the grunting of a pig and the meowing of a kitten, its only occupants.
The camp bore evidence of the rebels' hasty departure. Eggs still lay on a tray near a cooking area. Black threads that were being woven into equipment straps were tied to a tree branch, the job half-finished.
On a blackboard, a message instructed rebels how to respond if civilians ask what would happen if U.S. forces come to Colombia: "You tell them that we will expel the gringos with guerrilla warfare."
The U.S. government insists it won't send troops to fight in the South American nation's 38-year war, although it has sent special forces during the past two years to train Colombian anti-drug troops.
The Bush administration is, however, moving to expand its military aid beyond counter-drug efforts. Yesterday, a senior administration official said President Bush's national security aides will meet this week to discuss ways to help.
The rebels are clearly concerned about Washington's campaign against terrorism. The U.S.State Department has declared the FARC a terrorist organization, along with a smaller guerrilla faction and a rival right-wing paramilitary group.
structure with canvas walls and had tables, iron beds and showers.
The commanders lived in a wood frame
In another abandoned camp, one for commanders, reporters found a printout of U.S. government policy on terrorism in a small library that also had books on Marxist theory and Cuban revolutionary leader Ernesto "Che" Guevara.
'No call' bill approved by Kansas House
The document, which the U.S. Embassy in Bogota put on its Web page after the Sept. 11 terror attacks, says the United States will not make concessions to kidnappers of Americans and will provide anti-terrorism assistance to allied countries seeking it.
The 65-53 vote sent the legislation to the Senate. Supporters had only two votes more than the number needed to pass a bill in the 125-member House. Some representatives worried about the cost of creating a state "no call" list that telemarketers would be required to use.
Others objected to the provision putting contracts between farmers and companies that buy their crops or livestock under the Consumer Protection Act — a step that would let farmers go to district court if they feebled.
TOPEKA — A bill that would both help consumers avoid telemarketers and give farmers protection in contracts with large agribusinesses won narrow House approval yesterday.
The Associated Press
The "no call" proposal would require telemarketers to buy a state list for each of Kansas' four area codes every three months. Each quarterly list would cost $25, with some telemarketers paying up to $400 each year.
Critics said the state shouldn't interfere in the marketplace and that enacting such a provision might discourage companies from seeking contracts in Kansas.
The Information Network of Kansas, which maintains the state's Internet site, would maintain the lists. Kansans could register free of charge.
No estimate of the costs of creating and updating the lists was available to legislators. Some believe the fees paid by telemarketers would cover expenses; others do not.
"I think we need to know what the cost of it is before we move forward," said House Appropriations Committee Chairman Kenny Wilk, R-Lansing, who voted against the bill.
But supporters said the idea is popular. Rep. Dean Newton noted that more than 920,000 Missouri residents registered for that state's list, created last year.
"This is an issue that's a winner," said Newton, R-Prairie Village. "You go through your neighborhoods, and no one is going to say, 'Don't pass a no-call bill.'"
Supporters of the agricultural contracting provision said it would be popular with family farmers who have little economic power in dealing with large corporations.
"Basically, we're trying to apply the principles of the Ten Commandments," said Rep. Bruce Larkin, D-Baileyville. "Thou shalt not lie, cheat, steal or take advantage of thy neighbor."
But critics said the Consumer Protection Act was intended to protect consumers and that farmers are business people.
GUANTANAMO BAY
NAVAL BASE, Cuba — Three human rights organizations filed a petition yesterday challenging the detention of al-Qaida and Taliban suspects without charges or "prisoner of war" protections.
The Center for Constitutional Rights, the Human Rights Clinic at Columbia Law School and the Center for Justice and International Law called the detentions illegal in a petition filed with the Organization of American States' Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.
U.S. rights groups petition al-Oaida, Taliban detentions
"Although the United States has an obligation and right to arrest and try the perpetrators of the horrendous crimes of Sept. 11, it must do so in compliance with fundamental principles of national, human rights and humanitarian law," the New York City-based rights groups said in a statement. "It has not done so."
The Associated Press
The petition asks the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights to demand that the detainees be given official prisoner-of-war status, which would give them protections under the Geneva Convention.
Earlier this month, President Bush said the Geneva Convention applied to Taliban prisoners — but not to captured al-Qaida terrorists. But his administration has refused to consider classifying any of the 300 detainees from 26 countries as prisoners of war, saying they were fighting for an outlawed terrorist group and an unrecognized government.
Marine Maj. Stephen Cox, a spokesman for the Guantanamo
mission, declined comment on the petition but said, "Our treatment here on the ground is aimed at firm, fair and humane treatment for all detainees, regardless of status."
A team from the International Committee of the Red Cross meets regularly with the detainees.
The United States now has the power to try the detainees in closed military tribunals where they can be sentenced to death with just a two-thirds vote from a military commission, said Jennie Green, an attorney with the Center for Constitutional Rights.
The Inter-American Commission is authorized to intervene when human rights are threatened in one of the 35 member states of the Organization of American States. However, its power is largely one of influence. The rights groups say the United States is a signatory to the OAS American Declaration on the Rights and Duties of Man, which protects prisoners from arbitrary or prolonged detention and from being held without access to friends, families, governments or legal counsel.
The detainees at Guantanamo "don't know what they're charged with. They have no access to attorneys," she said. "When faced with a possible death penalty, that's a serious violation of human rights."
"Either they were picked up on the battlefield, in which case they're POWs, or they did something criminal, in which case they should be charged," said Michael Ratner, vice president of the Center for Constitutional Rights. "There is no legal limbo status."

Don't forget to watch shoes as 'Hawks play into March
Hang in there everyone. We've already made it two months and the most important point of the semester is quickly approaching.
KANSAS 32
KENRICH
10
No, it's not midterms or even Spring Break that puts a swing in our step. It's March Madness. And our Jayhawks are leading the way.
As the month that sports fans live for draws near, most people are talking about conference tournaments, seedings and bubble teams. Will Kansas go undefeated in the Big 12 Conference? Can Missouri even find a date to the Dance?
AARON SHOWALTER/KANSAN
Senior Brett Ballard's layup tied Kansas' game against Nebraska Sunday night. 35-88 with less than a minute left. Ballard played a season-high 15 minutes.
But one major aspect of the wonderful world of college basketball is being severely neglected, and that area is footwear.
An athlete can always make a statement on the court with his or her shoes. It seems trivial, but shoes play a crucial role in the life of a college basketball player. In a society in which advertisements and endorsements are becoming increasingly prevalent, who's wearing what seems to have more importance than who's beating whom.
Just flip through Sports Illustrated or turn on ESPN for a few minutes if you don't believe me. I guarantee that images of Michael, Kobe and Allen wearing their latest shoes will instantly bombard you. These athletes have contracts with competing companies, yet their motives are the same
— push the fashion envelope further while making the biggest profit.
And profit they are making.
On Feb. 9, Michael Jordan released the 17th version of his patented shoe, possibly the most recognizable line of basketball shoes since the days of the Converse All-Stars. For only $200, the Air Jordan XVII can be yours, complete with a metal briefcase and a Jumpman CD-ROM package.
"With the Air Jordan XVII, the consumer should not expect just a basketball shoe. They should expect an experience," Larry Miller, president of Jordan Inc., said.
For half of a month's rent, I'd better be playing in the actual game with Michael Jordan.
Hoping to cash in on the success of Kansas basketball, Jordan, Inc. shows off its new invention in the latest issue of Slam magazine: an Air Jordan shoe with 'JHAWKS' written on the outside. This company owns the endorsement rights to only a handful of prestigious universities, such as St. Johns, Cincinnati and North Carolina, and most members of the Kansas men's basketball team used these new sneakers to squeak by Nebraska on Sunday.
But how else can you explain some of Drew's insanely difficult, nearly impossible moves?
Nike recently flexed its technological muscles by inventing the Nike Shox, also known as the "boing boing" shoes. Sixteen years in the making, the Shox have actual springs built into the heel for extra leaping ability. This shoe has found success with runners as well as basketball players, even though the average price for a pair is $150. Coincidentally, the Nike Shox VC (Vince Carter, of course) will be released just in time for the NCAA tournament. I predict that these shoes will be the preferred choice at the Big Dance this year.
No matter the footwear, Kansas might not need help from flashy, high-tech kicks to win it all this year.
It's gotta be the shoes.

Ballard helps team escape Nebraska
By Doug Pacey Kansan sportswriter
Brett Ballard didn't expect to play many minutes this season.
He knew that freshmen Aaron Miles and Keith Langford would play for Kansas. Heck, he was around when Kansas' coaching staff was recruiting the two freshmen last season.
The Hutchinson senior probably figured that the career-high eight points and 18 minutes he got against Cal-State Northridge in Kansas' 99-75 victory in the first-round of the NCAA Tournament last year would be the high point of his two years as a Jayhawk.
At the end of last season he was the third guard on a team that started two, senior Jeff Boschee and junior Kirk Hinrich, and he averaged 12 minutes in Kansas' final six games. Now, he's the fifth guard on a Jayhawk squad that sends three — Boschee, Hinrich and Miles — out for the starting tip and has played more than five minutes in just four conference games this season.
"I knew that I wouldn't get as many minutes this season as I did last season." Ballard said. "We have so many talented and athletic guards on this team. It makes sense for Coach to be doing what he's doing."
Playing Boschee, Hinrich, Miles and Langford ahead of Ballard might be practical for the No. 1 Jayhawks (25-2 overall, 14-0 Big 12 Conference), but as Sunday's 88-87 victory at Nebraska proved, it's not always the best thing.
Ballard played a season-high 15 minutes against the Cornhuskers, including the crucial final few minutes. Williams said Ballard was in the game with the other four starters at the end because Nebraska's defense let Miles shoot the ball and Ballard was a better shooter than the freshman point guard.
Ballard made just one basket—a driving lay-in that tied the game, 85-85, with less than a minute left. On Kansas' next possession, down 87-85, Williams called a play that would give Boschee a shot to take the lead with a three-point attempt. But Ballard took the ball on the wrong side of the screen and that left Langford
open at the top of the arc.
Needless to say, Langford drilled the three-pointer and won the game for Kansas. After the game, Ballard admitted he went the wrong way, but was too happy about the win to get bogged down by such details.
Instead, Ballard, who usually doesn't get too many interview requests after games, joked about his sudden popularity with the media and with the other players.
"It's my goal to not say anything that can get posted in another team's locker room."
Notes:
Junior Drew Gooden's 26-point and 14-rebound performance Sunday against Nebraska was his 20th double-double of the season. With one more he will tie Raef LaFrentz's school record, which was set in 1997.

Perimeter defense key to success
by Brent Wasko
Kansan sportswriter
But knowing and doing are different things.
The No. 1 Kansas men's basketball team knew that Nebraska was a great outside shooting team and that shutting down the Cornhuskers' perimeter offense on Sunday would be key.
Nebraska players drilled three-pointers with such ease against the Jayhawks at the Bob Devaney Sports Center, it appeared that the Cornhuskers were running through their pregame shooting drills. Nebraska's 18 three-pointers were the most ever allowed by a Kansas team.
Though the Jayhawks won the game 88-87,coach Roy Williams said he was a little concerned about his team's perimeter defense. But he said he thought the loss of junior guard Kirk Hinrich to foul trouble led to some of the squad's defensive mishaps.
"A problem that we have is that yesterday, after Kirk fouled out, we had three really small guys in there, and they were able to shoot some of them over our guys." Williams said. "That's one of the negatives that we have with the three-guard lineup is we don't have somebody with some size, where you can put a 6-5 guy on a 6-1 guy, and all of a sudden those three-pointers get more difficult."
Nebraska is the best three-point shooting team in the Big 12 Conference, averaging 9.3 treys per game. But the squad had never experienced an offensive explosion like it did against Kansas.
The Cornhuskers were hot from the outside, especially guards Cary Cochran and John Robinson, who each scored a season-high 22 point.
Nebraska made 48.6 percent of its 37 three-point attempts and 54 of the team's 87 total points came from behind the arch.
Kansas junior forward Nick Collison said he thought the Jayhawks didn't play particularly well defensively against Nebraska, but that it was nothing to be concerned about.

Women have final chance at victory
By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter
Tonight is the Kansas women's basketball team's last shot.
the Jayhawks' game against Texas will be the team's final opportunity to end its school-record 15-game losing streak.
The game also marks the Jayhawks' last chance to earn a victory in the Big 12 Conference. Since the beginning of Big 12 play, Kansas has not won a game, and, with a loss tomorrow, it will become the first Big 12 team to go winless in the conference since Iowa State went 0-14 in the Big 8 during the 1983-84 season.
Senior Selena Scott will face the Texas Longhorns one last time — something she said she anxiously awaited each year.
"I don't like UT," Scott said. "It's a rivalry for me because it's my hometown."
The Longhorns (18-8 overall, 9-6 Big 12 Conference) come to town fresh off a 91-point performance against Texas A&M last week. All 11 players scored at least four points in that game, led by senior Heather Schreiber with 16.
A native of Austin, Texas, Scott will join fellow seniors Nikki White, K.C. Hilgenkamp, Katie Hannon and Kristin Geoffroy in their final home game tonight against No. 15 Texas.
The offensive explosion was Texas highest output of the season, and the Jayhawks hope that their game plan will keep them in the contest.
"We just have to stay with them in transition," Hannon said.

Tough player leads Jayhawks
Lance Hayes slid headfirst into second base, safe with his third stolen base of the season on Saturday against Milwaukee-Wisconsin.
Instead of standing up and dusting his dirt-stained uniform off, though, Hayes lay on the ground in obvious pain. Something was wrong.
"I dislocated my pinkie," he said. "I was kind of freaked out when I looked at it because it was sideways."
Instead of giving in to the torment, the junior outfielder popped the finger back into place and stayed in the game. On the next pitch, he stole third base uncontested, and later in the day, he hit a solo home run to help the Kansas baseball team to its 13th-straight victory, dating back to last season.
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
"He is one tough kid," coach Bobby Randall said. "He has been a terrific addition to our team."
The Jayhawks (8-0) play host to Northwestern on Friday at Hoglund Ballpark, and when Randall sits down to fill out his lineup card, he should have no trouble figuring out who belongs at the top.

Clippers end losing streak
S
The Associated Press
Memphis Grizzlies Brand had 27 points and a career-high 23 rebounds as the Los Angeles Clippers defeated Memphis 90-77 last night.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Elton Brand made it obvious he was going to dominate inside against the Memphis Grizzlies.
"Elton was a monster down low," Grizzlies coach Sidney Lowe said. "He was too tough down there. We couldn't stop him."
Brand was 10-of-12 from the field as the Clippers ended a two-game losing streak.
It was Memphis' third straight loss.
Jeff McInnis added 19 points and 12 assists for Los Angeles, and reserve Darius Miles finished with 12 points.
12 points.
"We are just trying to take it one game at a time," McInnis said. "It's no secret we want to make the playoffs. We are not trying to downplay anything, that's our goal."
Memphis, which has been plagued by injuries, dressed only eight players. Eddie Gill, who signed a 10-day contract with the Grizzlies on Saturday, started at point guard and played all 48 minutes.
Pau Gasol led Memphis with 21 points and 13 rebounds, and Gill added 20 points on 7-of-12 shooting. He also had seven assists.
Lorenzen Wright scored 17 points, and Will Solomon had 11 for Memphis.
"Gill played as well as anyone they could have put out there," Clippers coach Alvin Gentry said. "For a guy who has not run a play for them, he did great."
Gill, who signed a pair of 10-day contracts and played eight games last year with the Nets, had to learn the Memphis offense quickly.
The Grizzlies had 12 points and 10 rebounds the entire period.
Los Angeles held a 46-29 halftime advantage led by Brand's 16 points. Gill had 10 points in the first half, but the 29 points were the lowest for Memphis in a half this season.
Olympic travel buries airport
The Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — Tens of thousands of travelers flying home from the Winter Olympics yesterday were greeted with lines longer than two football fields and waits of up to seven hours at the city's airport.
The airport braced for about 74,000 passengers, said Barbara Gann, spokeswoman for the city Department of Airports. It's almost certainly the busiest day in the airport's history.
busiest day in the city By midmorning, the line to check in for Delta Air Lines stretched out of the terminal and onto the sidewalk. At the end of it, an airport employee, Gary DeVaux, said the wait was four hours.
And in the middle of the line was 1984 men's figure skating gold medalist Scott Hamilton, who said he'd never seen a longer line in an airport.
"I expected it and it's no big deal. As long as you come with an open mind, it'll be OK," Hamilton said.
Toward the end of the day, tempers flared more frequently, even as the lines got shorter. The lack of food in the airport terminal also contributed to the sour mood.
The Salt Lake International Airport was virtually deserted Sunday night as airspace above the region was restricted during the Winter Games' closing ceremony.
Unusual format leads to PGA upset
The Associated Press
CARLSBAD, Calif. — The seeds look like lotto numbers —24,19,55,62. They belong to the four winners of the Accenture Match Championship.
Who are these guys? How did they win a World Golf Championship event against the top 64 players on the planet? And what happened to Tiger Woods and the other top seeds?
The credit — or the blame — goes to match play, golf's most fickle format that has provided great theater and a few unlikely champions in its brief history.
No. 24 would be Jeff Maggert, whose only previous victory was at Disney World in 1993. No. 19 was Darren Clarke of Northern Ireland, who earned recognition for beating Tiger Woods in 2000.
A year later, the lot fell to Steve Stricker at No. 55, winning in Australia when 28 top players didn't even bother to show up.
The latest winner of golf's most unpredictable tournament was Kevin Sutherland, the No. 62
seed whose 1-up victory over Scott McCarron was the first victory of his career.
Indeed, the only ones complaining about a No. 62 vs. No. 45 in the finals were those expecting Woods and Phil Mickelson to breeze into the finals. They were the top two seeds in this Match Play Championship. They were gone after one day.
All Sutherland did was make clutch birdie putts on the final two holes and then beat David Duval in 20 holes, then dispatch of Paul McGinley, Jim Furyk, PGA champion David Toms and Brad Faxon. He played 122 holes and made 10 bogeys.
Woods was certainly prophetic when the day before the match he declared, "It's anyone's tournament to win."
"People instinctively like to see a dominant situation evolve, like the Yankees, Cowboys, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods," PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said. "In match play, I just don't see it."

Senior 'Hawks to say farewell to fieldhouse in final game tonight
>
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
Coach Marian Washington will use her 13th different starting lineup of the season when the Kansas women's basketball team plays Texas at 7 tonight.
But this one will be special.
But this is for seniors Kristin Geoffroy, Katie Hannon, KC Hilgenkamp, Selena Scott and Nikki White, tonight's game will be their last in Allen Fieldhouse.
The Jayhawks (5-23 overall, 0-15 Big 12) have relied heavily on their senior leadership this season. The five have accounted for 67 percent of Kansas' scoring offense and 46 percent of its rebounding. The Jayhawks' top four scorers will play their final home game this evening.
"It's going to be amazing," Hannon said. "Looking back on all the memories I've had here and being able to have my parents here to experience it with me, it's definitely going to be special."
All but Hilgenkamp, a junior college transfer, contributed early in their careers to the consistently successful programs that have since been followed by tough times.
"The past two years have been rebuilding, but sometimes you just have to go through those years and growing pains."
Despite playing as part of an underdog team all season, the Kansas seniors have been responsible for continued optimism — something that hasn't escaped them through the constant frustrations this season has presented.
"I just hope that we can pull out a victory in my last outing in the Fieldhouse," Scott said.

"My freshman and sophomore years were great," Hannon said. "The past two years have been rebuilding, but sometimes you just have to go through those years and those growing pains. I know it's going to get better soon."

Missouri slips by No. 12 Oklahoma State in thriller

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Arthur Johnson had 18 points and 14 rebounds as Missouri overcame a 10-point first-half deficit and poor shooting from its biggest stars, defeating No. 12 Oklahoma State 72-69 last night.
Kareem Rush was held to 10 points, two above his season worst and 10 below his average, and Clarence Gilbert had only six coming off of a 40-point game for the Tigers (20-9 overall, 9-6 in the Big 12 Conference).
The pair combined to go 6 for 28 but it didn't stop their teammates from rallying in a game they probably needed more than Oklahoma State (22-7 overall, 9-6 Big 12 Conference), which had a four-game winning streak snapped.
a four-game winning streak. Rickey Paulding added 21 points on 10-of-12 shooting, including two baskets in the final minute. Rush was 3-for-15 but also sealed the victory, getting the rebound after Johnson missed on the front end of a bonus and hitting two free throws to make it 72-67 with 6.9 seconds to go.
Victor Williams had 19 points, and Fredrik Jonzen had 16 for Oklahoma State. Jonzen had 10 points in the final 7:42 as the Cowboys kept it close after falling behind by seven.

Missouri trailed by 10 twice in the first half, the last time at 31-21 with 5:05 to go after failing to block out on a follow shot by Ivan McFarlin.
Rush got his first points of the game on a jumper from near the free-throw line with 19:16 to go. Johnson's dunk after Travon Bryant's shot was partially blocked put the Tigers in front for the first time, 44-43, with 11:07 left.
Rush had no points, no assists and three fouls in the first half as Oklahoma State took a 38-29 lead. The Cowboys had runs of 9-0 and 10-2, and Gadson got several wide-open looks from long range, going 5-for-6.

together. "We can beat anybody if we play for 40 minutes, but that's been our problem all season — not playing hard for the entire game," Scott said. "Our goal going into the Big 12 Tournament is playing hard for two halves."
Kansas (5-23 overall, 0-15 in the Big 12 Conference) found success in its last outing at No. 13. Iowa State. Although the Jayhawks lost their poise in the second half, Scott said her team was continuing to work on putting two complete halves together.
When the tournament begins next week, Kansas will face the No. 5 seed, either Iowa State or Texas as the rankings stand right now. However, the Jayhawks could face any of six teams, depending on the regular season standings after the final games Wednesday.

Sixers bounce back against Blazers as Portland coach returns home

PHILADELPHIA — Portland coach Maurice Cheeks enjoyed his return to Philadelphia. Rasheed Wallace treated it like any other game.

the 76ers missed 11 straight shots during the spurt. The Sixers were 4-of-23 from the field in the fourth quarter.
Allen Iverson, who scored 18 points on 7-of-22 shooting, thought a lack of effort led to the Sixers' struggles in the fourth period.
"We haven't been playing hard and the effort is not there, especially at crucial parts of the game," said Iverson, who claimed that some "players don't know the plays. There's no excuse for that."
Pippen finished with 17 points, Bonzi Wells had 15 and Damon Stoudmire added 11 for Portland, which has won 19 of its last 25.
Eric Snow also scored 18 points, Derrick Coleman had 16 points and a season-high 15 rebounds, and Dikembe Mutombo added 14 points and 12 rebounds for the 76ers, who have lost four of six.
With Philadelphia trailing 85-79 with 35 seconds to go, a layup by Mutombo and an 18-footer by Matt Harpring pulled the Sixers to 85-83 with 14.7 seconds left.
But free throws by Wallace and Wells sealed it.
Philadelphia closed within five on two free throws by Snow, but the Blazers grabbed two
consecutive offensive rebounds before Stoudamire made a 15-foot jumper with 1:16 remaining.
The 76ers had runs of 10-3 and 12-3 and opened an 11-point lead in the third quarter, and they held a 69-62 advantage after three.
Coleman, playing his first game since serving a two-game suspension for an altercation with Indiana's Reggie Miller, had nine points for Philadelphia in the third.
Portland scored 13 of the last 17 points of the first half and took a 45-43 lead at halftime. The Sixers led for 22 of the first 24 minutes of the game

Former NBA player charged in murder of driver
The Associated Press
KINGWOOD, N.J. — Former NBA star Jayson Williams surrendered yesterday and was charged with manslaughter in the shotgun slaying of a limousine driver at his mansion.
The 34-year-old NBC sports commentator used a back entrance into the state police barracks, and had no comment as he entered or left the building. He was freed on $250,000 bail.
If convicted, Williams could face 5 to 15 years in prison.
Costas Christofi, 55, was found
shot to death at Williams' 65-acre estate in Alexandria Township on Feb. 14. Published reports have said Williams was playfully twirling a shotgun while giving a tour of his mansion when the weapon went off.
Acting Hunterdon County Prosecutor Steven Lember declined to comment on details of the shooting yesterday.
"The death of Mr. Christoff was a tragic accident but it was an accident," Williams' attorney Joseph Hayden said. "We are very confident that after a full, fair and thorough exploration of all the
facts it will be clear that Mr. Williams is innocent of recklessness and innocent of any criminal conduct."
Initially, some of his guests reported the death as a suicide. After an autopsy, the medical examiner ruled the shooting a homicide.
"We are most interested in getting to the truth in this case. Those witnesses should come forward and do the right thing. If they do, they have nothing to be concerned about." Lember said at a news conference yesterday.
Earlier, Lember told the New
York Daily News that his office also was investigating whether Williams allowed Christoffi to bleed to death before authorities were notified.
Hayden has denied there was any horseplay prior to the shooting, and has not commented on who was holding the gun.
Christofi had been hired to drive Williams' friends from a charity event in Bethlehem, Pa., to William's home, about 30 miles northwest of Trenton.
The 6-foot-10 Williams was once among the NBA's best rebounders, but leg injuries
ended his basketball career. He retired from the New Jersey Nets in 2000 and now works for NBC Sports as an NBA analyst.
"We've been unable to get in contact with Jayson's representatives and feel it's inappropriate to comment until we do so," NBC Sports vice president Kevin Sullivan said.
Williams has freely admitted past mistakes, describing them in a 2000 autobiography as "a lot of beers and barroom brawls and some scrapes with the law and too many fights and some yelling matches with coaches and $^a$
bunch of headlines."
In 1992, he was accused of smashing a beer mug over a patron's head at a Chicago bar. Two years later, he was accused of firing a semiautomatic weapon into the parking lot at the Meadowlands sports complex.
He wrote in his autobiography that he almost shot New York Jets wide receiver Wayne Chretbet while firing a shotgun on his skeet-shooting range. Williams also faces a hearing this week on a charge that he pushed a police officer last November in a New Jersey bar.
Knee injury could put Jordan on injured list
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — For 17 years, the only thing that has kept Michael Jordan off the court for an extended period of time was his two retirements. Now a chronic knee injury has him thinking about a spell on the injured list, and it couldn't come at a worse time for his slumping Washington Wizards.
Jordan's knee was so sore he couldn't play the final 6:27 of a 92-80 loss Sunday night at Miami — even when the outcome was still in doubt. After the game, Jordan seemed resigned to his fate and even talked about the
possibility that the injury could force a "closure" to his career.
"My mind is still consistent," lord said. "But my body isn't."
Jordan said. Barrymysss had Jordan and the Wizards had the day off yesterday, with their next game tomorrow at home against Portland. He said there was a "very strong possibility" that he would go on the injury list, which means he would miss a minimum of five games.
"He looked like he was aliling a little bit," Miami coach Pati Riley said. "Everybody is going to have injuries. He's not indestructible. He probably needs a little rest. I think he has been absolutely remarkable in that he has played
Jordan has been bothered by tendinitis in his right knee since he began workouts in preparation for his second comeback. He has had fluid drained from the knee at least three times this season and banged it in a knee-to-knee collision with teammate Eton Thomas two-and-a-half weeks ago. The injury has caused him to miss two games — Dec. 4 at San Antonio and last Wednesday at Detroit.
A combination of knee, wrist, back and rib ailiments made durability the No.1 question regarding Jordan's effectiveness
all season and missed only a few games."
when he announced his comeback, but he has always been remarkably injury-free. His only major injury came in 1985, when he broke his left foot and missed 64 games in his second season in the league. Since then, he has never missed more than four games in a season — and he missed none his final three years in Chicago.
Jordan has tried to ignore the pain in his knee, and his competitiveness overrode coach Doug Collins' suggestion that he not play Sunday night. He scored just nine points, only the third time in his career he has failed to reach double digits.
Baseball veteran retires after 16 seasons
The Associated Press
Bobby Bonilla, who set the National League record for career home runs by a switch-hitter and helped the Florida Marlins win the 1997 World Series, officially retired yesterday.
A six-time All-Star during his 16 seasons, Bonilla turned 39 Saturday. Slowed by bad knees and other injuries, the outfieldderfielder saw limited playing time in recent years.
Bonilla hit .213 with five homers and 21 RBIs in 174 at-bats as a reserve for St. Louis last season.
The free agent finished his career with 287 home runs, 1,173 RBIs and a .279 average for eight teams. His 247 homers in the NL marked the most by a switch-hitter.
"Early on, a couple of teams contacted us," agent Dan Horwits said. "It was in Bobby's hands whether he wanted to continue in the role he'd had or retire. In the end, he decided he
wanted to get on with some other things in his life."
Bonilla was in Arizona yesterday working for a children's charity set up by the players' union.
Bonilla began his major league career with the Chicago White Sox in 1986, playing for La Russa, and hit his first homer off Phil Niekro. Bonilla was traded to Pittsburgh that summer, where he teamed up with Bonds.
Behind Bonds and Bonilla, the Pirates won NL East titles in 1990 and '91. Bonilla hit .280 with 32 homers and 120 RBIs in 1990 and finished second to Bonds in the NL MVP voting.
"We were best buddies all those years there," former teammate Barry Bonds said at San Francisco's camp in Scottsdale, Ariz. "Everyone has to retire sometime, we all do."
Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said he thought Bonilla could have a future in the game if he wanted it.
"He's had a great career," La
Russa said at Carinas camp in Jupiter, Fla. "He could still contribute to baseball — either in the front office or on the field as a coach or a manager."
In December 1991, Bonilla became the highest-paid player in baseball history when he signed a $29 million, five-year contract with the New York Mets as a free agent.
Bonilla hoped his return to his hometown would be a happy one, but his time in New York was tumultuous. He did not duplicate the numbers he put up in Pittsburgh, feuded with the media and was booed at Shea Stadium.
Bonilla fit in well with the veteran-laden Marlins, batting. 297 with 17 home runs and 96 RBIs. He was productive in the playoffs and saved his best for last.
Traded to Baltimore midway through the 1995 season, Bonilla later became a free agent and signed with Florida before 1997.
In Game 7 of the 1997 World Series against Cleveland, Bonilla hita home run in the seventh inning
that cut the Indians' lead to 2-1.
The Marlins tied it in the bottom of the ninth, and Bonilla's leadoff single in the 11th set up the run that gave the Marlins their only championship.
After the season, the Marlins writers gave Bonilla their "Good Guy" award for his pleasant dealings with the media.
Bonilla returned to the Mets for the 1999 season, but his stay was marked by disputes with manager Bobby Valentine. In the Mets' final game of the year, he was accused — by unidentified team personnel — of playing cards in the clubhouse with Rickey Henderson during a tense National League Championship Series matchup at Atlanta.
Bonilla closed out his career with Atlanta and the Cardinals. Last July, he became the 219th player in history to reach 2,000 hits.
He finished with 2,010 hits and scored 1,084 runs.
BASEBALL
Arizona third baseman injures ankle, fibula
The Associated Press
TUCSON, Ariz. — Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Matt Williams broke his left leg in practice yesterday and is expected to miss the season opener.
Williams was fielding ground balls on a side field at the Tucson Electric Park complex when he rolled his ankle. Taken by ambulance to the University Medical Center, he was found to have a fracture in his left fibula — the long, thin outer bone of the lower leg — about six inches above the ankle.
Williams also dislocated his left ankle, damaging and stretching ligaments, head trainer Paul Lessard said.
"I worked hard to prepare myself, so needless to say I'm disappointed," Williams said. "I can't do anything about it except heal up and do the proper rehab on the field as quickly as possible."
Williams said he slipped in the dirt and got his foot caught underneath his body. He said he immediately realized his ankle was dislocated.
"The extent of the damage is shocking considering how quickly it happened and how innocuous it looked," manager Bob Brenly said.
An operation was scheduled in Phoenix yesterday. Such injuries usually take 4 to 6 weeks to heal—the World Series champion Diamondbacks open the regular season on April 1 at home against San Diego.
Brenly said Greg Colbrunn,
Danny Klassen and second basemen Jay Bell, Craig Counsell and
"I can't do anything about it except heal up and do the proper rehab on the field as quickly as possible."
Matt Williams Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman
Junior Spivey were candidates to replace Williams at third base.
"Our versatility is one of the strong points of this ballclub." Brenly said. "A number of people could enter into the mix. We feel very comfortable with anybody that we play over there. Obviously, we wish it was Matty, and we're going to miss him. But, that being said, I think that with the versatility and the experience we have we'll be OK."
Williams has been the Diamondbacks' cleanup hitter and regular third baseman all four years of its existence.
But this is his second serious injury during spring training in three years.
Williams fouled a ball off his right foot on March 29, 2000, breaking the foot in an accident similar to one he experienced in 1995, when he was with San Francisco. Williams didn't get off the disabled list until May 25, but was troubled by a strained quadriceps until September that year and played just 96 games.
Last year, Williams was healthy coming out of camp, but strained his left hamstring early and missed 47 games while on the disabled list for the third time in two years.

Skiers fail drug tests, lose medals
The Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — Olympic leaders have a stern warning for athletes using performance-enhancing drugs.
"We are on their heels," Dr. Arne Ljungqvist said Sunday in announcing the games' biggest drug bust since Ben Johnson and giving the Salt Lake City Olympics a final jolt of controversy.
The drug, darbepoetin, boosts the production of red blood cells that carry oxygen to muscles. It is so new that it isn't on the International Olympic Committee's list of banned substances, but officials said it was covered as a "related substance" and acted swiftly.
Three cross-country skiers,including multi-medalists Larissa Lazutina of Russia and Johann Muehlegg of Spain,were thrown out of the Winter Games and each stripped of a gold medal for using a drug designed to help kidney patients avoid anemia.
"This is a strong statement to those who say we are far behind," said Ljungqvist, chief of the IOC's medical commission.
After Lazutina's disqualification, silver medalist Gabriella Paruzzi of Italy was awarded the gold in the 30K. Stefania Belmondo of Italy got the silver and Bente Skari of Norway moved up to bronze.
Also testing positive for the drug was Olga Danilova, a teammate of Lazutina. All three athletes were tossed out of the games on the final day of competition. They were the first Winter Olympic athletes caught for drugs since 1988, and the biggest stars involved in an Olympic drug scandal since Johnson tested positive for steroids after winning the 100 meters at the 1988 Summer Games in Seoul.
Lazutina, 36, was forced to give up her victory in Sunday's 30-kilometer classical race and her record-tying 10th Olympic medal. She was allowed to keep the two silver medals she won in the 15K freestyle and the 10K combined event.
Danilova was disqualified from an eighth-place finish in the 30K, but she will keep a gold and silver won earlier.
Muehlegg, who had won three gold medals at these games, was ordered to return the one from Saturday's 50K
classical race. He keeps his golds from the 30K freestyle and the 10K pursuit.
The IOC said it could not strip the other medals by the athletes had passed those drug tests. But IOC president Jacques Rogge said those medals are tainted.
"Technically, they are Olympic champions," Rogge said. "Morally, it is a totally different issue."
Coming into the Salt Lake City Games, only five drug cases had been confirmed since the first Winter Olympics in 1924. But for Salt Lake City, officials set up the most rigorous Olympic testing program ever.
Darbepoetin is similar to the banned hormone erythropoietin, or EPO. Marketed by Thousand Oaks, Calif.-based Amgen Corp. under the name Aranesp, it was approved in September by the Food and Drug Administration to help patients with chronic kidnev failure battle anemia.
Muehlegg, 31, said he could not understand the test results.
"I've been skiing for 10 years in World Cups and I've been through 25 controls, and there's never been a problem," Muehlegg told Spanish radio.
He had been picked to carry the Spanish flag at the closing ceremony, but was replaced by skier Maria Jose Rienda Contreras.
The Royal Palace called off a welcome-home reception for Muehlegg yesterday and said Wednesday's scheduled ceremony for Muehlegg would be put off until further notice, but gave no reason why.
Lazutina was disqualified from the women's relay that day for high levels of performance-boosting hemoglobin, a blood molecule that helps carry oxygen to muscles. She passed another test Sunday, allowing her to compete, but then the results from another sample were announced.
The Spanish and Russian Olympic delegations challenged the process by which the test results were validated. All three positive results came from out-of-competition tests on Thursday.
Muehlegg's disqualification means Mikhail Ivanov of Russia will trade in his 50K silver for gold, while Estonia's Andrus Veerpalu moves up to silver and fourth-place finisher Odd-Bjoern Hjelmeset of Norway gets the bronze.
Russians resent Olympic outcome
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — Though the Winter Olympics are over, resentment still runs high in Russia.
A report on state television RTR summing up the games detailed Russians' disappointment and anger over their medal tally and decisions they believe denied victory to some athletes and devalued that of others. It took some swipes at American culture as well.
"They were the most expensive Olympics for America, the most difficult for the Russian team and the most scandalous in the past 20 years," RTR's reporter said in Salt Lake City. "But Americans enjoyed the Olympics. They say it was a real show, and a show doesn't have to be bad or good, it just has to be huge."
The final blow for Russia came
Sunday when cross-country skier Larissa Lazutina was stripped of her gold medal in the 30-kilometer classical race after testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug intended to help kidney patients avoid anemia.
Russian skier Olga Danilova was also disqualified after testing positive for the drug, darbepoetin.
Russian Olympic Committee chairman Leonid Tyagachev told a news conference in Salt Lake City that those disqualifications would be appealed to the international sports arbitration court in Lausanne, Switzerland, "to defend the honor of our athletes."
The head of the Russian Olympic Committee's anti-doping service, Nikolai Durman, sharply criticized the moves against Lazutina and Danilova.
"The fact that they made such a
But Russia's Olympic officials also came in for some criticism from political circles.
Sergei Mironov, head of the upper house of the Russian parliament, said the Russian Olympic Committee was naive in not objecting to an agreement that called for NHL referees to officiate games in which more than 50 percent of the players were league stars. That included the semifinals and the final.
decision is a disgrace. It's a stain on the qualifications of the IOC medical commission," he told television network NTV.
"How did it happen that the final matches were judged by officials from the NHL, who are practically representatives of the two countries Canada and the United States? When a match in which the United States and Russia play is judged by the
United States, that's complete nonsense," he said Monday on the Echo of Moscow radio station.
Russians were first angered at the games in the controversy over the figure skating gold medal won by Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze. Canadians Jamie Sale and David Pelletier were awarded a second gold following wide complaints and a French judge's statement that she was pressured to vote for the Russians.
"It seems to me that it's necessary for our sports organizations ... to approach matters more carefully," Mironov said.
inen, skater Irina Slutskaya finished second behind American Sarah Hughes and Russia unsuccessfully demanded a second gold for her. The United States' 3-2 victory over Russia in the hockey quarterfinals brought complaints of biased officiating.
Paralympics share venues follow Salt Lake City Games
The Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — The Paralympics begin March 7 and organizers hope the spirit of the Winter Games will carry over to the 10-day event for the physically challenged.
"I think people sometimes think that the Paralympics are more what the Olympics used to be—pure sport," said wheelchair racer and cross-country skier Candace Cable, who has competed in the Paralympics since 1984.
Rather than compare the two games, director Xavier Gonzalez wants the Paralympics to extend the excitement of the Olympics through March 16 when they end.
Paralympians will compete on the same venues and live in the same housing Olympic athletes stayed in during the Salt Lake City Games. They will use Rice-Eccles stadium for their opening ceremony and light a fire in the same cauldron.
"We don't try to match the Olympics in scale and in spectacle," said Joedy Lister, ceremony producer. "They do that very well, and we could never match that."
A close relationship between the two games affords the Paralympics "more profile, better venues, better events, a lot more support than in the past," Gonzalez said.
NHL players may play in 2006
The Associated Press
WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah The United States couldn't repeat 1980. Canada finally put 1952 to rest.
But after the success of the Salt Lake City Olympic hockey tournament, it is the 2006 Games that could benefit the most.
The riveting tournament featured a dream finale (at least for North Americans) between Canada and the United States and one of the biggest upsets in Olympic history.
The Salt Lake City Olympics not only erased the Canadians' medal-less flop in the 1998 Nagano Games and enabled the Americans to save face for their chair-smashing antics, they put considerable pressure on the NHL to shut down for the Turin Games.
So, how can the NHL say no to the 2006 Olympics?
NHL commissioner Gary
Bettman was noncommittal about the league's participation, saying he first wants to study these Olympics. Of course, Bettman spoke before the league reaped a decade's worth of good will and publicity with Canada's 5-2 victory Sunday over the United States in the most-watched gold medal game since the Americans" "Miracle on Ice" triumph in 1980.
"Everybody's so balanced now," Canadian forward Steve Yzerman said. "We're all too balanced now for any team to dominate. I just hope they keep the NHL players in the Olympics."
Now, Bettman will find it difficult not to go to Italy, especially when his own players are saying how much the Olympics means to them and the league.
U. S. goalie Mike Richter agreed.
exposing international hockey to the North American audience," he said. "If you can work it out so it does not disrupt the schedule too much, and that's a big if, then it's a great thing."
"It was a great success for
The NHL schedule resumes Tuesday night with 13 games, making teammates of players who just days earlier were on opposing sides. One of the games, New Jersey at the New York Rangers, features the Devils' Martin Brodeur vs. the Rangers' Richter, the opposing goalies in the gold-medal game.
The Detroit Red Wings sent the most players to the games 10, including four evenly split between the teams in the gold-medal game.
The Olympic finish wasn't so great for the Americans, yet they still won the country's first Olympic hockey medal since 1980, all without breaking a single chair.
Greeks begin preparing for 2004 Olympics in Athens
The Associated Press
ATHENS, Greece The electronic clock counting down to the 2004 Summer Olympics slips below 900 days today.
But the real measure of the preparations — the anxiety level — climbs ever higher as the days tick off.
With the Salt Lake City flame extinguished, the return of the games to their ancient birthplace becomes the priority for the International Olympic Committee.
Olympic Committee.
The home stretch might be as tense as the lost years since Athens was awarded the games in 1997. What the IOC hoped would be a glorious homecoming has become a nerve-fraying scramble to overcome construction delays, solve logistical headaches and calm outbursts from Greek officials under pressure from the committee.
These are the typical problems of almost every major project undertaken in the European Union's poorest nation. This time, however, they're being played out on an Olympic scale.
"We really have to keep pressure on Athens because, of course, they are more delayed and they still have more problems to resolve than Sydney at the same time," said Denis Oswald, Athens' top IOC coordinator.
Work has begun on some of the long-delayed venues. The IOC, which plans its next Athens inspection in April, has been pleased to see construction finally under way.
The main IOC worries have shifted to other issues — particularly a glaring shortage of hotel space. Nearly 3,000 more rooms are needed for the Olympic family — sports federation officials, sponsors and others involved in the games.
Cruise ships have already been promised as floating hotels for VIPS, but it's doubtful nearby ports can handle any more vessels. But the hotel shortfall raises questions about whether many spectators will be effectively shut out from the Athens area.
Residents, meanwhile, continue to fight against Olympic intrusions in their neighborhoods. They have filed injunctions with the highest administrative court, the Council of State, to stop construction, holding up progress of several Olympics-related facilities.
In a victory for the government, the court recently approved construction of the 5,000-seat weightlifting venue in the western suburb of Nikea.
Some of the stiffest opposition comes from the seaside areas of Paleo Faliron and Hellenikon, where the proposed tram will tear up one of the city's last boardwalks. Many venues are to be built at the old airport in Hellenikon, but delays in clearing the airstrip of planes has stalled construction.
Premier Costas Simitis called for Athenians to be patient.
"I want to invite all our fellow citizens, who today are hassled by these works to have patience, to have understanding and to back this collective effort," Simitis said while touring an interchange that will connect two main avenues in an effort to ease Athens' chronic traffic problems.
Also yesterday, Olympic organizers issued a commemorative pin and unveiled a floral display to mark the 900-day countdown to the games. Aug. 13-29, 2004. A new pin will be released every 100 days.
The flower arrangement — 2,000 chrysanthemums - adorned the entrance to the all-marble stadium where the first modern Olympics were held in 1896.
Organizers of the 2004 Olympics spent time in Salt Lake City to gain more firsthand experience about staging the games. Today, the 2004 team plans to move its headquarters from central Athens to larger facilities in a converted garment factory in a northwestern suburb.
It seems an appropriate place to ride out the turbulent final leg to the 2004 Games: The area is near the epicenter of a major earthquake three years ago.

TV drama creator bashes Brokaw
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The creator of NBC's political drama The West Wing criticized his own network's anchorman, Tom Brokaw, and President Bush in published comments.
Aaron Sorkin called Brokaw's special, The Bush White House: Inside the Real West Wing, a "valentine" to George W. Bush.
"The White House pumped up the president's schedule to show him being much busier and more engaged than he is, and Tom Brokaw let it happen — the show was a valentine to Bush," Sorkin said in The New Yorker magazine.
"That illusion may be what we need right now, but the truth is we're simply pretending to believe that Bush exhibited unspeakable courage at the World Series by throwing out the
first pitch, or that he, by God, showed those terrorists by going to Salt Lake City and jumbling the first line of the Olympic ceremony," he said. "The media is waving pompoms, and the entire country is being polite."
Brokaw's special aired Jan. 23 in the time slot immediately preceding The West Wing. Although its title ties in to the popular drama, Brokaw has done similar behind-the-scenes specials for every president back to Richard Nixon.
NBC acknowledged in the show's opening that Bush's schedule for the day had been packed more heavily than usual for the benefit of the cameras — as had been done with other presidents.
sion, were saying anything more, either.
Brokaw declined to comment on Sorkin's statement. Neither NBC, Sorkin nor The West Wing producers, Warner Bros. Televi-
Sorkin, who was allowed to enter a drug treatment program last year instead of serving prison time for possession of cocaine and hallucinogenic mushrooms, said in the magazine that he believed Bush was handling the current crisis well and that "it's absolutely right that at this time we're all laying off the bubblehead jokes."
Sorkin said The West Wing's mythical president, Jed Bartlet, will run for re-election against the fictional governor of Florida, "who's not the sharpest tool in the box but who's raised a lot of money and is very popular with the Republican Party."
To a certain extent, Sorkin said he plans to replay the Gore-Bush election campaign of 2000 and try to run a different Democratic campaign than Gore.

DEFENSE
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
"The three-pointers are just what Nebraska exploited," Collison said. "If we had played someone else, they probably would have exploited something else with the way we played yesterday."
Kansas has struggled more than once this season guarding strong outside shooting teams. The Jayhawks rank second-to-last in the Big 12 in the number of three-point field goals allowed, giving up an average of eight treys per game.
game. In both of Kansas' losses this season — to Ball State and UCLA — the Jayhawks couldn't find a way to stop their opponent's outside game.
Ball State hit 43.3 percent of its three-pointers in a winning effort against Kansas to open the season. Guard Chris Williams led the way with five trews.
Against UCLA on Jan. 12, the Jayhawks couldn't stop guard Matt Barnes, who made 3-of-4 from behind the arch.
Kansas has rolled through Big 12 play with a 14-0 record. The team has blown out every Big 12 opponent except for four teams — Oklahoma, Iowa State, Texas and Nebraska — each of whom were within 10 points of beating the Iavhawks.
The Jayhawks might have been able to cruise through those games if it weren't for their perimeter defense. Those four Big 12 opponents combined to average 10.2 buckets from outside against Kansas. They also combined to hit 46.9 percent of their three-point shots.
Kansas senior guard Jeff Boschee said most teams were bound to run into players having great shooting days from behind the arch at some point during the season. In that situation, there's not much that can be done to defend them.
carbe done to cheer them on.
"When you face shooters like that, putting a hand in their face isn't going to matter if they still have a clean look at the basket," Boschee said. "It's just something we have to overcome."
Williams said Kansas needed to improve its perimeter defense soon, because three-point shooting becomes even more of a factor during the NCAA Tournament.
"I'd say later in those games the shots get tougher in the tournament, but early on, those teams are fast and happy-go-lucky and free, and feel like they have nothing to lose," he said. "If you don't get out and defend the three in the first couple rounds in the NCAA tournament, that's where a lot of the upsets come."

HAYES
Randall said. "He's a great leadoff hitter."
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
For an offense that has been effective, yet inconsistent, Hayes continues to be counted on at the top of the batting order. He's among team leaders with a .379 batting average, 15 runs scored and four stolen bases, and has played flawless defense in center field.
"They might not be hits," Hayes said, "but I've gotten on most of the time, so I feel like I'm doing my job out there."
Hayes, a Mesquite, Texas, native, has scored a run in every game this season and has hit safely in seven of the eight.
"It seems like it's been every game," Randall said. "He's just been extremely good in that leadoff position."

BALLARD
Aaron Miles is five assists shy of breaking Jacque Vaughn's freshman record of 181.
"He has gotten better since earlier when we were playing some teams that might not be as strong as what we have in the conference." Williams said.
ence, williams said. "I think the biggest part of that is that he's moving from being a freshman to being a more experienced player and knowing what's going on," he said. "He's really having a good year and it is being overlooked."

Old KANU home could house new studio spots
By Meredith Carr Kansan staff writer
The KANU radio station's move may be good news for for architecture and urban design students.
The station's current home in Broadcasting Hall will be vacated in about a year, and University of Kansas officials are discussing the idea of converting the space into a design studio for architecture and urban design students.
KANU 91.5 FM, which broadcasts news from National Public Radio and jazz music, will move to its new location at 1120 W. 11th St. by May or June 2003.
Architecture and urban design students use the Lindley Annex, located south of Lindley Hall. Many architecture students are crammed into the annex, which has research space and only six design studios for most of the freshmen and sophomores in the school.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway said the annex was an eyesore and he had wanted to tear it down since he came to KU.
"When I visited the campus for the first time, I noticed how run-down the building looked, and that it didn't really fit on such a beautiful campus." Hemenway said.
Brandon Kent, Dodge City sophomore and architecture major, said he had similar feelings about the Lindley Annex.
"We don't have central air or heating, the roof leaks, and things have to be left in the open, which means people's belongings are prone to getting stolen," he said.
Because new quarters are needed for a design studio that could replace the annex, University officials are considering the space available in Broadcasting Hall, which was built in 1941.
However, John Gaunt, dean of architecture, voiced concerns about the possibility.
"I don't think KANU will be big enough to accommodate all students," he said. "Interior demolition would have to happen in order to accommodate our needs."
Space isn't the only issue. Warren Corman, university architect, said wiring was a problem in Broadcasting Hall. He said that because of the age of the building, the electrical system was outdated and would be difficult to update.
"It's why KANU moved," Corman said.
Hemenway said the space will not go unused when KANU moved to its new building.
"We will study the old KANU building after it is vacated, consider whether it needs any renovations, and then decide who might best occupy it," Hemenway said.

Coalitions to begin campaigns
By Sarah Hill Kansan staff writer
Three coalitions are making plans to present candidates in this spring's Student Senate elections.
Delta Force, KUnited and Vision Coalition will formally celebrate their coalitions during kick-off parties during the next two weeks.
Here are the candidates and their preliminary platforms: DEPTA FORCE
presidential candidate: Karen Keith, Tula,
Okla., junior
Vice-presidential candidate: Kit Brauer,
Depyce Colo., sophomore
This is the sixth year that Delta Force will run for Student Senate. Keith said that part of the Delta Force platform would be improving campus environmental policies and changing KU alcohol policies.
"We should realize that students drink, and create a safe environment for them to do so." Keith said.
Delta Force's kickoff party will be March 7 at the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St.
Keith
Presidential candidate: Jonathan Ng, Leawood junior
KUNITED
Vice-presidential candidate: Loren Malone. SenateObia, Miss., junior
Ng said that, including himself, 16 returning student senators would run with KUnited. He said that although several members of KUnited were part of last year's VOICE coalition, KUnited was a new group that had experience.
Platform issues include tuition and revitalization of the Multicultural Resource Center.
"The MRC is an issue I've been working on for quite a while as a student senator." Ngsaid.
KUnited's kick-off party will be Friday at the Hawk, 1340 Ohio St.
Presidential candidate: Matt Steppe, St. Joseph, Mo., junior
Joseph, Moe., junior
Vice-presidential candidate: Laura Rupe,
Wichita junior
Steppe, who ran with Delta Force last year, and Rupe, who ran with the VOICE coalition, said the diversity of their group would help them advance
student issues. Steppe said that part of the group's platform would be to improve student input on spending money from tuition increases.
"We have come together to realize that Senate needs representation for the entire student body," Stanne said.
MICHAEL BARNES
Steppe
The Vision Coalition's kick-off party will be Thursday at Jack Flanigans Bar & Grill, 806 W.24th St.
Student senate elections will be April 10 and 11.

Group plans to establish new fraternity
KU students are trying to found University's first all-Asian fraternity
KANSAS
By Caroline Boyer
Kansan staff writer
A group of KU students is trying to establish the University of Kansas' first all-Asian fraternity.
Members of the Asian Brotherhood Association said they wanted to establish a KU chapter of Lambda Phi Epsilon to promote Asian culture. Eddie Ham, one of the three founders of the 14-member association, said he wanted the fraternity to bring together Asian cultures and ethnicities at the University.
Asian Brotherhood Association members, from left, Jeremy Kuo, Cary, N.C., sophomore, Simon Roh, Lenexa freshman, and Eddie Ham, Lawrence freshman, work on building a home for Habitat for Humanity.
"I just want a group that can unite all the guys, like a brotherhood more than a fraternity, around campus," said Ham, Seoul, South Korea sophomore. "We'd be setting an example for others, showing that other nations can hang out together and party together."
CONTRIBUTED ART
Hubert Chen, also a founding member, said the fraternity would not be limited to Asian males.
"It's an Asian-American-based and focused organization; however, it is open to everybody," said Chen, Overland Park senior.
Ham said he considered creating an Asian fraternity chapter at the University in August. Ham, a member of The University Daily Kansan advertising staff, said he got the idea from a friend in a Lambda Phi Epsilon chapter at the University of California-Los Angeles.
"This will be basically ground-breaking for KU. If we can get the chapter, then in five or 10 years we'll come back and say, 'We built this house,'" Ham said.
Hoang Nguyen, Wichita sophomore, tried to pledge a traditional fraternity, but he said he didn't think it provided the closeness an all-Asian fraternity would.
"I don't feel shut out from fraternities, but I don't feel a tightness with the members." Nguyen said.
Andy Knopp, president of the Interfraternity Council and Manhattan sophomore, said he understood the association's need to create its own fraternity, and was glad the members were excited to be a part of the Greek community. He said he hoped people realized that the greek community was an inclusive group that embraced diversity.
The association sent in its initial application to the Lambda Phi Epsilon expansion chairman yesterday, and will wait for a response from the nearest chapter, which is in Illinois. Members will then send in a formal application, including résumés, video profiles for all
members and video of community service. At least 12 members are needed to qualify for a chapter.
The members of the association also have to visit chapters at other universities. They are planning trips to four other schools in April. Ham said organizing the group had been fast-paced because the group just began meeting formally about a month ago.
"Other groups have been doing this for a year, so we're kind of rushing through this." Ham said.
Ham said he didn't know how long the process would take.
He said he wanted to emphasize the importance of philanthropy for the fraternity while promoting it.
"Other people focus on partying and
going out, and we're going to do that, but I want to focus on community service as well." Ham said.
The fraternity plans to have social events. It will have a party from 9:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. Saturday at The Pool Room, 925 Iowa. Chen said the party would be open to everyone.
The Asian Brotherhood Association meets at 6 p.m. Mondays in the Kansas Union.
For more information on the fraternity, go to www.lambdaphiepsilon.com, contact Ham at 550-1071 or e-mail asianbrotherhoodassociation@hotmail.com.

Students brave biting winds after temperatures plummet
Jen Harms, Shawnee freshman, bundles up to face the wind and cold that returned this week.
CHRISTINA NEFF/KANSAN
Bv Mike Gilligan
Kansan staff writer
Yesterday the temperature in Lawrence reached only the low 20s, and the Weather Channel's forecast for last night's low was 7 degrees — this after spring-like temperatures in the 60s and 70s during the weekend.
As University of Kansas students bundled up to brave temperatures that dropped by about 50 degrees in 48 hours, some said they weren't surprised.
"I'm used to it," said Sara Katich, Lawrence freshman. "Kansas is always like this anyway."
Katich said she had watched the Weather Channel before going to class, so she knew it would be cold.
John Finch, meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said the extreme cold spell would not last long, though. The forecast for tomorrow is cloudy with the temperature in the high 30s, he said. Friday's high temperature should be in the 30s, as well.
"Imade sure to wear layers,"she said. "Ihave on two shirts, a jacket,and a stocking cap."
The normal high for this time in February is 48 degrees, and the normal low is 26.
But a repeat of the harsh winter storm that hit last month is unlikely, Finch said.
"There's a chance of snow on Friday, but not much after that," Finch said.
Finch said the weather should turn warmer and temperatures should reach the 40s by Monday.
Matt Wolters, also a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said that it was not uncommon for a big change in temperature to happen so quickly when a cold front moved through.
"There was not a record drop with this cold front," he said. "It was 73
INSIDETODAY
degrees on Sunday, but there have been times in the past when the temperature has dropped dramatically in an hour."
Robert Stevenson, Kansas City, Kan. senior, prepared for the cold, windy weather.
"I got out my winter coat for today," he said. "A few days ago the TV said it was going to get cold on Sunday, but today was cold enough."

CORRECTION
A story in yesterday's Kansan incorrectly quoted Christine Robinson, Lawrence graduate student, as saying that Queers & Allies had disagreed with Student Senate's decision not to fund advertising for this week's blood drive. In fact, Robinson was speaking on her own behalf, not on behalf of Queers & Allies.

The symposium will include speakers on both sides of the issue.
The event will be held by the Kansas Law Review along with the School of Law.
Some other speakers include Lori Wallach, director of Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch, who is one of the leading critics of globalization, Kalinauskas said. Herbert Morais, chair of the International Legislative Reform Group and a supporter of globalization, will also speak.

Sculptor offers artistic approach to body image
By Summer Lewis Kansan staff writer
Larry Kirkwood wants you to cast away the notion that beauty is only skin deep.
Kurkwood, who has been making casts of people's bodies for about nine years, spoke to about 30 people last night at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. His Body Image Project is on display at the Kansas Union Gallery,
"This isn't a women's issue," he said of body image problems. "This is a human issue."
Kirkwood, of Kansas City, Mo., is traveling around the United States to exhibit his body casts and lecture on body image. He said that he had been to 60 cities and 32 universities.
He makes casts of human bodies using the same material doctors use. He has made about 500 casts, though only a few are on display at KU.
JILLIAN THORPE/KANSAN
The hardest part of creating the casts was getting the people relaxed and comfortable, Kirkwood said.
"It only takes about 20 minutes to do the actual cast," he said. "But I need a certain amount of time to make a person feel comfortable with me."
The process of making the casts involves peeling molds from bodies and drying the molds, and then painting the casts to "take away the nudity of the mold."
Kirkwood said that some of the
people become too relaxed with him during the molding process.
"I have seen more penis tricks than I care to see for the rest of my life." he said.
Sculptor Larry Kirkwood discusses the concepts behind his work in the Art Gallery in the Kansas Union. Kirkwood has made about 500 plaster and resin casts of people to promote the appreciation of natural beauty.
Kirkwood said he had molds of many different people throughout the years, including someone who died in the 1996 TWA Flight 800 accident in the Atlantic Ocean.

"It made me realize that form will always outlast image, which is why we need to appreciate what we have and not desire an image that can't be achieved," he said.
"Our culture is obsessed with keeping up appearances," he said. "What this does is create an image that is not reality — in fact the image becomes reality."
The desire to look like a certain image comes from culture and advertisements, he said.
He said Americans' obsession with image took away from individual accomplishments. When people focus on appearances, looking good becomes synonymous with being good.
"Men wear a size of clothing, but women are the size they wear," Kirkwood said. "All of the women who I've talked with say they are a size ten instead of saying they wear a size 10."
Kirkwood said that people were looking in the wrong place for beauty.
"Instead of looking inside, people judge personal beauty on what they see on the outside," he said.
Brad Ekstrom, Palatine, Ill.,
sophomore, said that he was interested in the body casts and Kirkwood's theory on body image.
"It is pretty interesting how he does the casts and finds his information on images," he said.
Kirkwood said that he wanted the body casts to help people become more aware of people's prejudices.
"Sexism, racism and ageism are prejudices that are a shortcuts taken by a lazy mind," he said. "People don't take the time to get to know someone, which is what I hope the body casts will make people realize."

Campus adornment evolves through years
The National Museum of Asian Art
By Rachel Keesee Kansan staff writer
Campus has changed a lot in 47 years.
This drawing shows the proposed "gateway" to the University.
CONTRIBUTED AR
In 1955, the Chi Omega Fountain was dedicated, serving for years thereafter as an unofficial entrance to campus at the west end of Jayhawk Boulevard. But campus expanded westward with the completion of the Daisy Hill residence halls, Learned Hall, Murphy Hall and the Burge Union. A separate campus, West Campus, was established beyond Iowa Street, and the Chi Omega Fountain became a center-point rather than an entryway.
Channette Kirby is a Watson
"It has had its ups and downs, but it's still a beautiful campus," she said.
Library assistant and has watched the campus change during her 32 years as a KU employee.
The University of Kansas' current project to construct a "gateway" to the University in front of the KU Visitor Center at 15th and Iowa streets is designed to serve as a new face for the Lawrence campus. The project includes four stone walls flanking the center's driveways, a huge plaza, a 95-foot sign that reads "The University of Kansas" and the lowering of power lines.
Kirby said people should feel comfortable and welcome on campus.
"I think the environment one studies in or does research in should be conducive to those things," she said. "The quality of our environment has an impact on how we learn."
The University has many areas that create a comfortable student environment, such as Wescoe Beach, Kirby said.
"Some areas make you very uncomfortable, and others make you want to stay there and eat your lunch," she said. "I think KU has done a good job overall."
The spot was chosen because it
Warren Corman, University architect, said the project would cost about $800,000.
"We studied all kinds of gateways before we decided on this design." he said.
had the heaviest traffic and the most visitors.
"We're trying to make a view for visitors so they'll know when they've gotten to the campus," Corman said. "It will be a major, major difference."
He said a dedication ceremony for the gateway would be in September or October.
The project was funded through a private donation from the Robert Malott family, said John Scarfe, director of communications for the Kansas University Endowment Association. It is being built in memory of former Chancellor Deane Malott and his wife Eleanor.
"it's because of the legacy of campus beautification left by Chancellor Malott and Eleanor," Scarffe said.

POINT-COUNTERPOINT
Where should the immigration line be drawn? Extending driving privileges Privileges should not exist improves immigration policy without proof of citizenship
When something goes wrong in the United States and Americans start feeling that their invincibility is threatened, non-citizens are the first to be blamed.
Those opposing a bill under consideration in the Kansas Legislature that would allow undocumented aliens to obtain a drivers license are pointing their fingers at the wrong people. Letting illegal immigrants drive legally won't open the door to more terrorism. It will, however, take a step towards a more reasonable, responsible immigration policy.
How many of us would be able to work and survive without driving in Wichita, greater Kansas City, Garden City or any rural Kansas community? Let's face it, Kansas is a driving-oriented state. Effective public transportation is woofly inadequate, and to work and contribute to society, driving is a must.
As immigration—both legal and illegal—grows rapidly and moves from such distant places as Florida, California and Texas and into our own back yard, Kansans can choose between two ways to react. We can overreact, blame immigrants for all our woes and try to deport or intern them, as Americans did with people of Japanese descent during World War II and Mexicans (many of whom were actually U.S. citizens) during the Great Depression.
Or, we can realize that immigration into the United States is the result of a combination of economic, political and social factors both in the U.S. and abroad that brings people across our borders to find a way to survive.
Opponents of this bill argue that issuing licenses
work and control.
Why should we deny illegal immigrants the opportunity to safe transportation? By allowing undocumented workers drivers licenses, they would be more likely to obtain insurance for their vehicles. It's time we stop trying to foolishly barricade our borders to keep those "evil" immigrants out, and find ways to manage immigration responsibly. Allowing legal driving is a positive step.
based on IRS-issued work authorization numbers would make it easier for potential terrorists to maneuver in the U.S. What these people fail to realize — or fail to admit to themselves — is that terrorists, criminals and people seeking to cause harm to the U.S. will
find a way to wreak havoc. News report have indicated that at least some of the men who hijacked the airliners in the Sept. 11 attacks entered the U.S. with valid visas. They were not workers that entered this country to make a living or support their families back home.
In the end, opposition to this bill is not a matter of battling terrorism. The fury against this bill is merely a cover for anti-immigrant sentiment that has historically raged in this country when things don't always go our way.
Indeed, driving is a privilege, not a right. But many of the undocumented immigrants in this state seeking licenses are hard-working people who fill jobs in manufacturing and meat-packing plant that most of us wouldn't take. They will likely drive with or without a license, so it only makes sense to issue them licenses so that they are held to the same driving standards as the rest of us.

changed.
WEBBILSON
In the Kansas Legionature, a bill is pending on whether or not Kansas should issue driver's licenses to people who are not in the country legally. Unfortunately, this bill conflicts with the federal government, more specifically with Immigration and Naturalization Services.
O ver 200,000 undocu mented ileg aliens are working in Kansas, and are requesting driver's licenses. Passing this new law to allow them to
assess this new law to allow them to obtain driver's licenses
would inhibit work that INS is currently doing in Kansas.
INS and the Internal Revenue Service are sending mixed messages. The IRS hands out tax ID numbers to the immigrants to collect taxes, while the INS insists it will pick up any illegal immigrant if contacted by a law enforcement agency, said Robert Visnaw, a special agent with INS in the Kansas City immigration office. With only 14 agents in the Kansas City office to cover most of Kansas and Missouri, this bill will only make it more difficult for INS to do its job. According to Visnaw, between 25,000 and 30,000 undocumented workers are in just the Kansas City metropolitan area.
Another inefficiency with this process is that IRS does not release names or other information from the tax ID numbers to the INS. How is the federal government supposed to be efficient when agencies do not work together to reach their goals? State government needs to support the federal government. By passing bill HB 2135 Kansas would make INS work more difficult and complicated.
Security is a major concern in the United States since Sept. 11, and many states are trying to update their procedures and precautions. However, allowing illegal immigrants to acquire a driver's license invites terrorism into our state, and directly conflicts with efforts to ensure security in Kansas.
The federal government wants every state to do its best regarding security measures. The federal government wants us to support its programs and adhere to its agencies. How can the state of Kansas do this if a law is passed that directly interferes?
Molly Mueller for the editorial board
PERSPECTIVE
Bloody front page makes us think twice
Blood covered the front page of the The University Daily Kansan Feb.18. It was fake blood, of course, printed on the newsprint page to accompany a lighthearted story about shock-rock band GWAR.
But some took the illustration — and feature — quite seriously.
A letter to the editor from Overland Park senior Vanessa Young called it "quite possibly the most distasteful front page of all time," coming from a newspaper that has a "blatant disregard of all that is taciful."
Before writing more about the page, I must mention that I news edited the night the GWAR front page was put together. That means I oversaw evening work on the Kansan, and proofread the bloody page before sending it to the printers.
Two small Kansas high schools dropped their subscriptions, according to Kansan general manager and news adviser Malcolm Gibson. He was told the paper came to one of the schools in a plastic bag because post office officials worried that the blood was real.
Obviously, though I didn't write the story or lay out the page, I thought it was justified. But letters and comments have dampened my original enthusiasm. While the bogus blood was certainly appropriate for the story in question, it spilled over onto a story about students trying to get men's basketball tickets. Not the best move.
Managing editor Jay Krall agreed.
"That was one thing I would change about it, not having it bleed over," he said. "I was glad we kept it off the Sprint story at the bottom."
Kyle Ramsey, the managing editor who designed the page, said he "probably would have limited" the blood on the other story if he did it again.
Krall emphasized the need to take the package in context. GWAR doesn't take itself seriously, and neither did the design.
"If it was done in a story about an accident on K-10, it would be in unimaginably poor taste and definitely a reason to be

upset,"Krall said.
Young's letter also questioned the headline — "Casualties of GWAR." Ramsey wrote the headline, and admitted it didn't entirely fit the story. Headline writing is a tricky business, though. Often, editors' predilection for puns can lead to headlines that don't quite describe a story.
To my mind, though, the bombastic and silly headline complimented a story about a bombastic and silly group. Elements came together on the front page to present the group in an entertaining, sympathetic way.
"It was a very, very complete package," Ramsev said.
In retrospect, as news editor, I would have asked for the front page to be tweaked. Another story shouldn't have been affected by flamboyant design. Stories with hard news could have been placed in more prominent positions on the page.
Problems come when the paper is seen as stodgy. That's not the personality of Kansan staff members — nor is it the personality of KU students. It's sometimes the way the paper reads, though.
But I strongly believe the Kansan should be a college newspaper, with all of the subject matter, attitude and energy that entails.
What the GWAR headline suggested, in a broad way, was the importance of regularly serving readers with interesting, wacky or slightly bizarre stories. This front page was obviously extreme.

THOUGHTS ON ORIGINALITY
Matt Fisher sales and marketing adviser 864-7666 or mttheuser@kansas.com
Eric Borja's column ("Original idea? All that's new has been done before," Feb. 15) tries to contend that there are no more original ideas left in the world. He cites Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Ocean's 11, Black Hawk Down, Ali, A.I. and A Beautiful Mind as unoriginal because three are based on books and a short story, one's a remake, two are based on people's lives and one is based on real events.
Dear editor:
John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath is based on what Steinbeck observed during the Great Depression, but it's still original. At least four of the top five on the American Film Institute's top 100 movies are based on books or real lives. Borja would argue they're unoriginal.
When an artist creates something new or takes a new perspective on an old idea, the work becomes his. It is therefore original because nobody else could have done it. What about Ray Bradbury's Martian Chronicles? It's about the conquest of Mars and running into the natives (an oversimplification.) This is an old idea. Is Bradbury's work therefore not original?
As with Stanly Kubricks's 2001: A Space Odyssey wouldn't be original because it's based on Arthur C. Clarke's short story, "The Sentinel."
Einstein based his theory on somebody else's observation that the speed of light does not change. Is the Theory of General Relativity unoriginal?
And now we come to Citizen Kane. Borja cites it as an original work, but then claims A Beautiful Mind is unoriginal because it is based on a man's life. This is a contradiction of definition because Citizen Kane is based on the life of media mogul William Hearst.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Ian Lewis
Galva sophomore
The mark of a great mind is that it has the ability to generate original ideas, whether it be recycling old material in a new way, extending somebody else's previous work, or coming up with a truly new idea. The statement that all original work has been done comes from a mind that doesn't have the capacity for original thought and is arrogant enough to think that because it cannot generate original thought, no other could.
Unfortunately, such a merger cannot occur before mid-2005, when the KU Student Senate/KU on Wheels contract with the Lawrence Bus Company expires. During the interim, the KU Student Senate and the city of Lawrence need to get busy and iron out the details of the merger so that
A famous quote by Charles H. Duell comes to mind, "Everything that can be invented has been invented." That statement was made in 1899 and look at this past century. I don't claim to be able to generate a new idea, but I realize that other greater minds in the world are able to.
To all those out there fighting to ban abortion, perhaps you should try educating society about abortion, rather than forcing your views upon us. Take a step back and recall why our country is such a great place—each of you has the right to choose what to believe in and how to live your life, so why should your view be the only legal option?
Further, competition between KU on Wheels and the Lawrence Transit System (the "T") is currently preventing the achievement of optimum ridership levels that a unified system would provide. That is why a merger between the two systems is critical.
LOCAL BUSES NEED WORK

I doubt I would ever get an abortion, yet I respect my fellow woman's decision to do whatever they feel is right. Call me pro-choice or pro-life — I am both. For myself, I am pro-life. For society as a whole, I am whole-heartedly pro-choice.

ABORTION DEBATE
Dear editor,
Among the recent debates, I wonder if anyone feels abortion should be up to an individual to decide, not because aborting a fetus is really acceptable, but solely because it is a personal decision that should be up to one woman to make. I understand religion plays a major role in one's stance on the issue, but people are still free to choose their religion. Laws banning abortion are like laws establishing a collective religion. I am not a religious person, but I do value life and would value a life in me more than the obstacles it may cause.

NEWS
Pharmacist pleads guilty, says he diluted drugs for 34 patients
The Associated Press
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5A
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Pharmacist Robert R. Courtney struggled to maintain his composure yesterday while telling a packed courtroom that he had "no rational explanation" for why he diluted cancer drugs for 34 patients.
Courtney, 49, pleaded guilty to 20 federal counts of adulterating, tampering with and mislabeling the chemotherapy drugs Taxol and Gemzar.
Under a plea agreement, prosecutors will recommend a minimum of 17 1/2 years and a maximum of 30 years in prison. He also faces a total fine of up to $15 million.
Under questioning yesterday from attorneys and U.S. District Judge Ortrie Smith, Courtney, who was in shackles, repeatedly admitted that he was guilty of diluting the drugs, but said he didn't think of the consequences and didn't mean to harm anyone.
In a statement that brought many victims and Courtney's family to tears, the pharmacist said could not understand his own actions.
"I have had a long period of time in isolation to reflect on my conduct," said Courtney, who stopped often to regain his composure. "I keep asking myself 'Why?' Why would I commit crimes so profoundly inconsistent with my faith, beliefs and my relationship with my Lord and Savior?"
"In my daily readings, I can find no rational explanation ... I am guilty and I accept full responsibility. To the victims, I am extremely sorry."
Assistant U.S. Attorney Gene Porter said prosecutors "fully intend" to seek the 30 years.
That would be fine with Henry Chelston, of Independence, whose wife, Delia, took Taxol prepared by Courtney to fight her ovarian cancer.
"I think it should be a little bit longer (than 17 1/2 years)." said Chelston, 66. "He'll still be healthy at 67."
Courtney has been jailed since surrendering Aug. 15 to investigators working with a Kansas City oncologist for whom Courtney prepared intravenous doses of Gemzar and Taxol.
In the plea, Courtney also acknowledged that he and his corporation, Courtney Pharmacy Inc., diluted and tampered with the drugs Platinol and Paraplatin, conspired to traffic in stolen drugs and caused the filing of false Medicare claims.
In his confession, Courtney wrote that he was motivated by a need for money, including a $600,000 tax liability and $330,000 to fulfill the balance of a $1 million pledge he had made to his church.
Under the agreement, Courtney must disclose any other criminal activity he committed and any knowledge he has of crimes by others. If the government believes he has been truthful, he will not face any other charges.
Porter said the prosecutors had evidence of the 34 dilutions — eight of which were detected by laboratory tests and 26 of which Courtney described in a written confession.
The plea agreement requires that Courtney's assets — estimated to total between $10 million and $12 million — will be used as restitution for victims in the criminal case.
Attorneys said they were working with lawyers involved in about 300 civil lawsuits to transfer those assets to criminal court to create a fund for restitution for victims. Porter said attorneys hoped to have the details of that arrangement finalized by the end of the week.
Smith accepted the plea agreement, but delayed setting a sentencing date until after those arrangements became final.
Defense attorneys said money from the restitution fund would go first to eight specific victims named in the charges, then a system would be set up for other claimants. If the details are finalized, the civil lawsuits would not be necessary, they said.
The federal case against Courtney froze his
assets, stripped him of his pharmacy licenses and forced him to sell two pharmacies, one in Kansas City, Kan., and one in suburban Merriam.
Some of those lawsuits also name pharmaceutical makers Eli Lilly & Co. and Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., claiming they knew about the dilutions but did nothing with that knowledge.
Courtney's guilty plea "makes it a lot easier" to demonstrate liability in the civil lawsuits, Michael Ketchmark, an attorney for 173 of the plaintiffs in those lawsuits, said yesterday.
"The drug companies were saying that we couldn't prove the dilutions, but that domino has fallen," Ketchmark said.
"We said all along that he should be held fully accountable for diluting these medications, so we're very pleased that he's taking full responsibility for his actions today," said Jeff Newton, a spokesman for Eli Lilly.
"It's really wrong that Michael Ketchmark filed all these baseless law suits against the pharmaceutical manufacturers and we're still going to vigorously defend ourselves," he said.
"We believe it's wrong that he filed these lawsuits. They're baseless. We really hope his (Courtney's) pleadings today allow the patients and their families to heal a little bit."
A spokesman for Bristol-Myers did not immediately return phone calls from the Associated Press.
Porter said prosecutors accepted the plea agreement in part to force Courtney to fully reveal all of his criminal activities. He said those revelations would help law enforcement notify those who were affected and give peace of mind to those who weren't.
"One of the most damaging effects of his conduct is the uncertainty he's caused those who were affected by his conduct," Porter said. "We will be able to give others some level of assurance that they were not affected and restore some of their peace of mind."

Victims of homicide identified
The Associated Press
OVERLAND PARK — Overland Park police yesterday released the identities of a mother and daughter whose bodies were found after an apparent murder-suicide.
The bodies of Heather A. Bauer, 22, and her 14-month-old daughter, Mikayla, of Leawood, were found Monday afternoon at Overland Park Aboretum and Botanical Gardens.
Gardens Police found a handgun near the bodies, said Capt. Dan Mineteer. Both had been shot in the head. Police said yesterday evidence at
the scene indicated that Bauer killed her daughter and then herself in a wooded area near a walking trail.
Pollice also found a note in a vehicle in the arboreum's parking lot.
"Something was going on in (the woman's) life that she couldn't deal with," said Minteer, who would not disclose other details. "We think we've pieced the puzzle together."
together. The bodies were found at about 12:45 p.m. by an Overland Park couple who were walking on one of the trails.

carriage just off the path. Farther into the woods they saw something pink.
The bodies were 50 to 75 feet from the trail. Both were wearing heavy coats, and a pink baby blanket covered the girl.
The 300-acre park, which attracted almost 100,000 visitors last year, was closed to the public the rest of the day.
The girl's death is the first homicide this year in Johnson County.
4,000 acres burn in Kansas grass fire
The Associated Press
MINNEOLA — Yesterday, Clark County authorities were still investigating the cause of what they believe to be one of the biggest grass fires to ever rage in southwestern Kansas.
Almost 4,000 acres of grassland were destroyed Sunday as a fire burned a10-mile swath southwest of Minneola.
Fourteen fire crews from as far as Buffalo, Okla., worked for eight hours to extinguish the fire, which started at about 1 p.m.
Sunday six miles south and two miles west of Minneola. The blaze did not reach any homes, authorities said.
"A lot of the help we got out of Oklahoma, they smelled the smoke and could see the smoke and were calling us to see if we needed assistance," Clark County Sheriff Brad Harris said. "That worked out great, without them, we wouldn't have been able to contain it."
So far, investigators have not determined how the blaze started.
The rambling fire jumped numerous county and state roads as it slowly burned its way to the south. By the time firefighters got it under control at about 6 p.m., it had covered 10 miles through rolling grassland and canyons to a point 15 miles south of Minneola and a half-mile west of U.S. 283, Harris said.
Fortunately, the blaze complicated by gusting 30 mph winds — swept through a lightly populated area.
The wind was just terrible for
the firefighters," Harris said. "Every time they'd make some headway, the wind would just rekindle something."
It took three hours for crews to clean up after the fire was controlled.
Among the fire departments fighting the blaze were Meade, Fowler, Minneola, Dodge City, Bucklin, Ashland, Englewood Protection and Coldwater. Departments from the Oklahoma panhandle that assisted included Laverne, Buffalo, Rosston, Gate and Forgan.
Anti-profiteering bill sparks Senate debate
The Associated Press
TOPEKA—An anti-profiteering bill prompted by price spikes for gasoline last Sept. 11 wontative Senate approval yesterday, over objections from senators who prefer leaving the marketplace alone.
The measure would subject merchants to lawsuits and possible fines for gouging consumers with high prices after disasters.
Advanced on a voice vote, the bill was set for final Senate action today and could go to the House.
today and could go.
Following the terrorist attacks in Washington and New York last Sept. 11, long lines formed at gas pumps in some Kansas communities and prices soared to $5 a gallon or more.
Sen. Derek Schmidt said Kansas' Consumer Protection Act is vague about profiteering. That law allows individuals, county prosecutors and the attorney general to sue merchants in district court and provides for fines for "unconscionable" actions.
The new anti-profiteering law would apply after a disaster and address prices for necessary services, such as housing and fuel. Price increases of more than 50 percent would be evidence of profitering.
"We reinvent the rules every time there's a disaster or there's a new person in the county's attorney office," said Schmidt, R-Independence.
pendence. But other Republicans noted that gasoline prices quickly dropped back to normal levels last fall.

Sen. Nancey Harrington, R-Goddard, suggested supporters were trying to score political points rather than combat an actual problem.
atricular problem.
"I wonder if we should include an amendment to prohibit political profiteering," she said.
Supporters said they were trying to protect Kansans when they were most vulnerable and to help business owners.
"It lets the business community know what price-gouging is so they can govern themselves," said Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman John Vratil, R-Leawood.
State legislators propose to ban common-law marriages for minors
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Common-law marriages among minors would be banned under a bill that won first-round House approval yesterday, while the Senate weighed a measure to abolish such arrangements altogether.
The House advanced its bill on a voice vote with no debate. Final action is scheduled for today, sending it to the Senate.
Legislators were inspired to attack common-law marriages
attack common-law marriages which require no certificate after hearing the story of Sara Shelton, 16, of Buffalo. She testified that she was raped and had two children by the same man by age 14.
age 14.
That man, Jerry Paul Crooks Jr., is serving a 25-year prison sentence for rape. Crooks testified during his trial in Butler County that he and the girl had a
common-law marriage, an assertion iurors rejected.
Since 1913, Kansas courts have declared the common-law age of consent for marriage is 14 for boys and 12 for girls, and that they do not need the permission of their parents or guardians.
Also, courts have said a common-law marriage was valid if the partners were physically able to marry and live together as a married couple — even only
briefly.
Some senators concluded the state no longer needed to recognize common-law marriages, and under their bill, the state would not recognize any entered into after June 30.
But some House members said they thought a common-law marriage between two adults could protect the partners' property rights. Rep. Jan Pauls, D-Hutchinson, said that if one partner in a common-law marriage died, the other could obtain Social Security benefits and inherit property.
MORE INFORMATION
- Common law marriage bills are SB 486 and Sub for HB 2366.
Online:
http://www.kslegislature.org
Common-law marriages involving adults have been recognized in Kansas since at least 1886, when the Supreme Court upheld a Shawnee County man's bigamy conviction.
Only the District of Columbia and seven other states still recognize such marriages — Alabama, Colorado, Iowa, Montana, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and South Carolina.

Crematory worker faces more criminal charges
The Associated Press
LAFAYETTE, Ga. — Authorities filed 100 more criminal charges yesterday against the operator of a crematory where hundreds of corpses have been discovered.
Ray Brent Marsh already faced 16 counts of theft by deception for allegedly taking money for cremations he never performed at Tri-State Crematory.
The 100 additional theft by deception charges were filed by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and issued in a warrant by Walker County Magistrate Judge Shelia Thompson.
The new counts were connected to 50 of the corpses found at Tri-State. For each body, one count was filed for taking money from the families and another for failing to give the ashes to the families, officials said.
So far, 339 corpses have been found on the crematory
grounds. Only 70 of the bodies have been identified.
Gov. Roy Barnes was notified yesterday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency would not give the state money for clean-up. FEMA Director Joe Allbaugh said "an emergency declaration is neither appropriate nor warranted."
Officials have said they could not estimate the cost of the clean-up until all the bodies had been recovered,but said they thought that it would surpass $10 million.
Also yesterday, the House unanimously voted to make it a felony to abandon a body intended for cremation or burial. The bill now goes to the Senate.
The latest charges were filled just hours after a separate judge ruled Marsh could leave jail on $100,000 bond on the original 16 theft charges. Marsh was still in jail yesterday afternoon and could be arrested again if he makes bail.
Meanwhile, recovery work
ers began another day of clearcutting the 16-acre crematory grounds.
Authorities have said it could be late summer before all the bodies are identified. Some workers are growing weary and occasionally sick as the emotional toll mounts.
Officials estimated they had searched only three or four acres of the Tri-State grounds, which comprise at least eight acres, excluding buildings and a small lake. Authorities are working on a plan to drain the lake.
"Everybody involved in this process, from the word go, is suffering some kind of emotional strain," said David Ashburn, the Walker County emergency director. "It's things that you and I were never meant to be exposed to."
Family members lined up Monday to give blood samples, hoping their DNA would help investigators identify more bodies.
Screening knocks out bad gene
CHICAGO — In what is believed to be a medical first, a woman with a gene that is all but certain to cause Alzheimer's by her 40s gave birth to a baby free of the defect after having her eggs screened and selected in the laboratory.
The Associated Press
Experts said it appears to be the first time pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, or PGD, has been used for early-onset Alzheimer's. There is no similar test for the more typical form of Alzheimer's, which strikes the elderly.
PGD, which can also involve the testing of early embryos, has been used to screen for other devastating diseases such as Tay-Sachs and sickle-cell anemia, which strike in early childhood. It is less commonly used to detect diseases that strike adults.
Medical ethicists said the latest milestone raised troubling issues, among them the rights of parents with disabling diseases to have children.
The patient, a 33-year-old married geneticist who had the procedure about two years ago, desperately wanted children, even though Alzheimer's will probably steal her mind long before her daughter grows up.
"Today it's early-onset
The woman was wellinformed of the ramifications, said her doctor, geneticist Yury Verlinsky. A PGD pioneer at Chicago's Reproductive Genetics Institute, Verlinsky described his patient's procedure at a news conference yesterday. A report on the case appears in Wednesday's Journal of the American Medical Association.
The patient, whose name was not released, has a brother and sister who developed Alzheimer's in their 30s. Tests showed that she had a mutation called V717L that had been found to lead to the formation of the brain-clogging protein deposits that are a hallmark of Alzheimer's.
Alzheimer's. Tomorrow it could easily be intelligence, or a good piano player or many other things we might be able to identify the genetic factors for," said Jeffrey Kahn, director of the University of Minnesota's Center for Bioethics. "The question is whether we ought to."
The woman underwent invitro fertilization, in which eggs are fertilized in the lab and implanted in the womb. But first, the eggs were examined to find those that were free of the mutant gene.
Her daughter was born about a year ago. The woman is pregnant again after undergoing another round of testing.
Using PGD for early-onset Alzheimer's is "the only relief for at-risk couples," Verlinsky said. He said he would not screen for gender or other "cosmetic" reasons, but otherwise did not pass judgment on which patients he will test.
PGD is not widely available, partly because the defects it tests for are generally rare. It is also tricky to perform. Verlinsky said PGD procedures, developed in the late 1980s, had resulted in about 700 babies worldwide. His clinic has done about 2,000 PGD procedures, resulting in over 200 babies.
"It's not our place to make a moral decision for them," he said.
The Alzheimer's-related flaw is probably present in only a dozen or so families worldwide, and afflicted patients are virtually assured of developing early-onset Alzheimer's, experts said.
Kahn said PGD was an unregulated, market-driven area of science.
PGD costs about $2,500 at Verlinsky's clinic. His patient had to undergo two rounds of tests because eggs tested the first time both had the V717L flaw. The cost does not include the clinic's $7,500 fee for in-vitro fertilization.

Despite numerous arrests many detainees released
The Associated Press
In the days after Sept. 11, U.S. allies rounded up hundreds of people, cracked down on assets and individuals that Washington suspected of financing terrorist activities and tightened security around American installations.
The efforts and unprecedented coordination with the United States uncovered and likely thwarted plots — including those allegedly orchestrated by Osama bin Laden's foot soldiers — to attack U.S. interests in 14 countries. More than 100 suspects are in custody around the world and authorities have frozen more than $100 million in assets. Experts say the unrelenting pressure complemented U.S.-led military action in Afghanistan to keep al-Qaida on the run.
But six months after the terror attacks on the United States, few of those arrested have been
charged and many have been let go. Experts said they thought that efforts on the financial front no longer hindered al-Qaida's abilities to operate.
Of those known to be in custody on terrorism-related suspicions outside the United States, 11 men have been publicly tied to Sept. 11 — nine in Spain, one in Germany and one in Malaysia. Zacarias Moussouai, a Frenchman of Moroccan descent, also has been indicted in the United States in connection with the attacks.
An Algerian pilot who British prosecutors first said had trained several of the hijackers was released on bail in London in February after U.S. officials conceded they could not back up the charges.
An additional 91 men are known to be held in 11 countries, either in connection with al-Qaida or planned terrorist attacks. A U.S. official, who spoke on defense of anonymity, said most suspect<sup>e</sup>
"are believed to remain in custody of foreign governments."
Some of those were picked up as part of investigations initiated before Sept. 11 and are connected to attacks that were thwarted in the past two years. Those include a threat to the U.S. Embassy in Rome in January 2001 and a cathedral in Strasbourg, France — home of the European Parliament — in December 2000.
Saudi Arabia is holding 30 men who it says spent time in Afghanistan. Canada is holding the only suspect, who the United States is trying to extradite, a Somali-born man wanted on suspicion of involvement in laundering money for terrorists.
In the past six months, more than $104 million in funds allegedly tied to terrorist-related groups and individuals have been blocked worldwide, including $34 million by the United States, U.S. officials said.
Countries clash over Caspian oil
Associated Press
MOSCOW — The U.S. envoy to the strategic Caspian Sea region yesterday decried the corruption that has stymied investors trying to get its oil and gas riches to market — while his Iranian counterpart warned that foreign investors were too aggressive already.
Opinions clashed at a conference in Moscow on the 10-year-old legal dispute over how to divide the sea, highlighting differences in the political interests of Moscow, Tehran and the West.
Russia's top official in charge of Caspian issues, Deputy Foreign Minister Viktor Kalyuzhny, said it was time to end the dispute. He said plans were under way for an oft-delayed presidential summit in the Caspian, likely to be held in Turkmenistan's capital, Ashga-
bat, in the fall.
Use of the Caspian resources, including fertile fishing grounds and what are believed to be the world's third-largest oil deposits was defined by treaties between Iran and the Soviet Union.
After the 1991 Soviet collapse, the five countries around the Caspian — Russia, Iran, Turkmenistan, Kazakstan and Azerbaijan — laid conflicting claims to the sea. They have been unable to reach a compromise.
U. S. and other foreign investors, meanwhile, have been jockeying for a chance to develop oil and gas fields despite the legal limbo.
"The Caspian region has not had the progress we expected," Ambassador Steven Mann, the U.S. envoy on Caspian energy issues, told the conference. He said corruption had hindered growth in the five states and a lack
of legal guarantees had scared away investors.
Mann did, however, express optimism about two projects in the region. Construction on an oil pipeline from Azerbaijan's capital Baku to the Turkish port of Ceyhan should begin by early summer, he said. The long-delayed pipeline bypasses Russia and Iran and has been championed by the U.S.government.
He also said the Shah Deniz gas pipeline from Azerbaijan to Turkey remained on track. Both pipelines will be operating by 2005, he said.
2006, Iran's envoy for the Caspian region, Deputy Foreign Minister Mehdi Safari, told the conference that foreign companies and governments should not be allowed to study the region's oil deposits until a decision on dividing the sea is reached.

ESPN movie about Knight tells nothing, just happens
Bobbv Knight is a media circus.
Because of his checkered, yet entertaining past, you can be sure that nearly everything having to do with the chair-throwing, basketball-punting, three-time national champion will earn a segment on SportsCenter and at least a mention in almost every daily newspaper.
The public's and media's infatuation with Knight is so great that ESPN saw fit to produce a movie about Knight based on writer John Feinstein's best-selling book, "A Season on the Brink," which will air 7 p.m. March 10.
Give ESPN credit for trying something new, but the sports guys in Bristol, Conn., should stick to what they do best: reporting the news and not making movies about it. The best parts of this made-for-television program can be seen in the commercials advertising "A Season on the Brink."
Nothing we all haven't heard about Knight is revealed in this made-for-television documentary. There are no startling revelations divulged about Knight or Indiana University that Feinstein didn't write in his book after he was given an all-access pass to Knight's program from the coach himself.In fact,the movie was a whole lot of nothing.
No plot. No climax. No conclusion. The film just happens.
"A Season on the Brink" chronicles the 1985-86 Hoosiers basketball team, one year after Indiana suffered a losing conference record and the season before Knight won his third national championship. It follows the lives of Knight and key players through the season. At practice and in games, Knight (played by Brian Dennehy) is portrayed as win-at-all-costs man who would rather give his players a tongue lashing (parental discretion is advised with good reason) than constructive criticism.
At home with his son, Pat, (Knight was between marriages at the time) he is a loving father with plenty of affection for his son.
When Knight finds out that one of his players, Andre Harris, has been skipping classes, he suspends him indefinitely. Harris is allowed back on the team when his mother tells Knight that her son grew up without a male influence and that the coach might be just what Harris needs.
That is the deepest the film gets as far as character development, which leads to the movie's ultimate downfall: you don't know why things are happening.
It attempts but fails to establish the tough-love relationship between Knight and Steve Alford, who now is Iowa's coach. When Knight explodes in verbal tirades at players Daryl Thomas and Delray Brooks, it's not clear why. If you didn't know that Thomas was a McDonald's and Parade high school All-American and Brooks was Indiana's "Mr. Basketball" in 1985, you would have no idea why Knight was so harsh on them.
This movie wasn't made to earn an Academy Award or Emmy. ESPN produced "A Season on the Brink" to make money. With a release date coinciding with the same day the NCAA announces the pairings for the NCAA Tournament, that much is obvious.
With that in mind, this movie is a perfectly fine ways to pass two hours of time, but don't expect to get much from it.

While the game remains significant for Kansas, the action on the court almost takes a back seat to the pageantry of senior day. For seniors Jeff Boschee, Jeff Carey, Lewis Harrison, Brett Ballard, Chris Zerbe and Todd Kappelmann, tonight marks the last time they will play at the fieldhouse.
Boschee, the Jayhawks' all-time three-point shooter, said the event would be special for him.
"It's not the last game of the year, but it is significant because I'll never play in the Fieldhouse again," Boschee said. "I think when you're a freshman you take it for granted that
Flowers for Seniors
The Kansas athletic promotions encourages fans to bring carnations and silk flowers to the Kansas-Kansas State game at Allen Fieldhouse tonight. Crimson Girls and cheerleaders will collect the flowers shortly before the game and will throw them onto the court during the pregame senior-recognition ceremony. Roses are not allowed because they can cause damage to the court and their petals are difficult to pick up.
you've got so many opportunities to play. The time does come when you're a senior, and you cherish the last one."
"I try not to show too much emotion on the floor, but I'm an emotional guy," he said. "I think it comes from mom's side. She's a real emotional lady."
Boschee added that it would be difficult for him to contain his emotions during and after the game.
Kansas has a variety of senior-day traditions, including the pep band wearing tuxedos, the Crimson Girls and cheerleaders showering the players with flowers before the game. postgame speeches and coach Roy Williams starting each of the seniors.
there are six seniors this season, which means that Williams has a dilemma on his hands if he hopes to keep tradition intact. The last time the team had six seniors was during the 1996-1997 season. Jerod Haase, Jacque Vaughn, Scot Pollard, B.J. Williams, Joel Branstrom and Steve Ransom were on the court to start the game. A referee told Williams he had to remove one of the players.
"It's something I've given a little thought to," Williams said Monday during his weekly radio show. "I had a great official involved with us in '97. Maybe I'll find a nice referee to allow us to do that same kind of thing. If not, I have to come up with an ingenious kind of plan. If not, we'll cheat for a while."
Williams took one of players off the court and the game started without a hitch, but he said he hadn't decided how he would handle the situation this year.
Post-game speeches might also be a problem. With six seniors, the speeches might last for more than an hour after the game.

Jeff Boschee was a college freshman when he did something that you'd expect from a grade-schooler.
He stuck out his tongue.
Senior guard Jeff Boschee takes a three-point shot during the game against Missouri. Boschee has led the team's efforts from the arc this season.
This display of adolescent aggression wasn't the kind you might find at an elementary school playground. It came during Kansas' second-round game against Kentucky in the NCAA Tournament four years ago. Bosche wagged his tongue in the face of the Wildcat's Wayne Turner after the Valley City, N.D., native hit one of his six three-pointers in the Jayhawks 92-88 overtime loss.
"Coming in as a freshman I think I was a little more, I won't say arrogant, but a little more over-confident of myself," Boschee said. "I think I've matured in the way to not let those emotions flare out.
Even if he wants to, Kansas' senior guard won't have many more opportunities to repeat that juvenile display. Tonight's 7 p.m. game at Allen Fieldhouse against Kansas State will be the last time Boschee will play before 16,300 people in the "Phog."

Surgery to cloud Jordan's future
Wash hands
The Associated Press
As Collins spoke, Jordan was meeting with team physician Dr. Stephen Haas, who will operate.
∞
Jordan was placed on the injured list for only the second time in his career, meaning he would miss at least five games, starting with Wednesday night's home game against Portland.
WASHINGTON — Michael Jordan will have surgery on his injured right knee and his status for the rest of the season is uncertain, Washington Wizards coach Doug Collins said yesterday.
"Michael has decided to have an arthroscopic procedure. It will be done in the next couple of days," Collins said, "Michael is very disappointed."
"He's got to go in there and just find out what's causing the irritation and why his knee is continuing to swell," Collins
said. "And depending on how much work he has to do, that will be the deciding factor in how long Michael will be out."
Jordan's only previous major injury came in 1985, when he broke his left foot and missed 64 games in his second season with the Chicago Bulls.
Other than his two retirements, he has not missed more than four games in a season since—and he didn't miss any during his final three years in Chicago.
Kwame Brown, the overall No. 1 pick in the NBA draft straight out of high school last June, was activated to take the 39-year-old Jordan's spot on the roster. Brown won on the injured list two weeks ago with a pulled hamstring and strained left calf.
Jordan's knee has been giving him problems since he began workouts in preparation for his second comeback. The injury initially was diagnosed as ten-
dinitis, and he had fluid drained from the knee at least three times, most recently before a game at Miami on Saturday. He also banged the knee in a collision with teammate Etan Thomas 21/2 weeks ago.
Team officials are now concerned there might be a more chronic, arthritic condition in the knee.
"I think (the surgery) would give him hope for next year," Collins said. "I think he knows that if he didn't have this done, he wouldn't be able to continue to play. More and more, the swelling is coming back. There's something in there that's irritating his knee to make him have the swelling."
The injury has caused Jordan to miss two games already this season — at San Antonio on Dec. 4, and at Detroit last Wednesday.
Nebraska recruit faces charges
The Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb. — Nebraska football recruit Mark LeFlore has been ticketed on suspicion of three counts of third-degree sexual assault.
Three female students have accused LeFlore, an 18-year-old wide receiver, of kissing them or touching them in a sexual manner.
LeFlore was suspended from

letter of intent to play with Nebraska.
LeFlore returned to class on Feb. 5. The next day, he signed a
Chris Anderson, Nebraska' director of sports information, declined to comment on the case. The athletics department typically waits for court cases to proceed before considering whether it should affect a player's status, she said.
The misdemeanor charges are punishable by up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Major League talks resume
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Baseball negotiations resumed yesterday with owners saying they wanted to make the amateur draft international and withhold pay of suspended players.
Negotiators met for about two hours at the commissioner's office and discussed non-economic issues.
The lead negotiators, baseball chief operating officer Paul Beeston and union head Donald Fehr, did not attend the session.
The sides are likely to resume talks in Florida next month but did not set a date.
Owners voted in January 2001, to propose having the draft coverall players. Currently, only players residing in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico are subject to the annual draft, and others are free agents who can sign with any team.
Teams also would like to avoid paying players who are suspended for on-field conduct. Arbitrator Nicholas Zumas, in
decisions in 1996 and 1997 involving Larry Walker, Ron Gant, Terry Pendleton and Xavier Hernandez, ruled that withholding pay from players suspended for on-field conduct amounted to improper fines in violation of the sport's collective bargaining agreement.
The union's grievance against reducing the number of teams in Major League Baseball resumes Wednesday before arbitrator Shyam Das, who already has heard 12 days of testimony.

Flu bug, uniform problems slow down softball team
By Ali Brox Kansan sportswriter
The person who scheduled last weekend off for the Kansas softball team deserves a pat on the back.
Then the players caught the bug as well. Last week, as many as four or five players each day were so sick that they had to leave practice.
Whoever planned the break couldn't have known how sorely needed the break would be. Between a nasty flu bug, problems with uniforms and marriage proposals, the team had plenty to handle off the field.
The flu virus started with assistant coach Aaron Clopton and soon spread to the entire coaching staff.
"The flu went wildfire through our team," coach Tracy Bunge said. "I know Drew Gooden was sick, but it affected our entire coaching staff and then the players started coming down with it
when we were in Vegas. It went through at least half to three-quarters of the team. So last week at practice was kind of hit or miss all week. So I don't think a weekend off could have come at better timing for us physically."

"I said 'Why didn't you tell me before we left when I could have had spare uniforms instead of these?'" Bunge said. "They're hideous. They're boxy cut and the shorts actually look tapered."
Then, the team had problems with its new uniforms.
The uniforms arrived the day before the team was supposed to leave on its first trip to Arizona. Bunge told the Jayhawks to try on the uniforms to make sure everything was OK.
Kansas didn't wear the new uniforms and having taken only
No one said a word until Kansas was actually in Arizona. After a team meeting, about five players came in and told coach Bunge they didn't want to wear the uniforms.
one other set on the trip, the team manager had to do a lot of washing during the weekend.
"When I first put them on, I was like," No we can't wear these," senior catcher Katie Campbell said. "But we had one other set so we just wore them all weekend."
Meanwhile, another layhawk became engaged. Junior pitcher Kirsten Milhoan's boyfriend surprised her by making the trip to Las Vegas and proposing. Two other softball players are already engaged.
"It tells you that our kids are well-rounded," Bunge said. "It tells you they're very caring, loving people, and that's great characteristics to have as people."
Bunge said she thought it spoke well of the character of her players.

Missouri seeks tournament bid
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Winning 20 games could be enough to smooth out the bumps in Missouri's season and secure an NCAA bid.
The Tigers took a big step toward a third straight tournament berth under coach Quin Snyder and fourth straight overall by beating No. 12 Oklahoma State 72-69 Monday night, recovering from a 10-point first-half deficit and then holding off a late challenge.
They've stumbled badly since a 9-0 start that elevated them to No. 2 in the country, getting zero votes in the poll this week. But then they reached 20 victories the
fastest since 1993-94 when they were unbeaten in the Big Eight.
Snyder is hoping that 20 is the magic number for the Tigers (20,9,9-6 Big 12), who have one game to go in the regular season — a matchup against No. 1 Kansas at home on Sunday.
"I think we were a tournament team before this win," forward Kareem Rush said.
In the short history of the Big 12, every team that has won at least 19 games and finished with a better than .500 conference record has advanced to the NCAA tournament. Missouri made it last year with 19 victories and a 9-7 conference record and with 18 victories and a 10-6 Big 12 record in 1999-2000.
Missouri's RPI of 57 will go up after Monday's victory.
The keys to the victory over Oklahoma State were rebounding and a general willingness to mix it up. Missouri had a 42-32 advantage on the boards and was more tenacious than usual.
Paulding led Missouri down the stretch, scoring nine straight points in one sequence and then adding two baskets in the final minute.
A big plus was the play of Rickey Paulding, who had 21 points on 10-of-12 shooting.
With Rush and Clarence Gilbert struggling, going a combined six for 28, Paulding filled the void, adding three steals and five rebounds.

Kansas's aggressive inside play forced Longhorn center Stacy Stephens to the bench with two quick fouls. Geoffroy took advantage, scoring 8 first-half points on 4-of-5 shooting.
The Jayhawks now travel to Kansas City, Mo., for the first round of the Big 12 Tournament at Municipal Auditorium. Kansas will face the fifth seed in the tournament and will play at 2:30 p.m. next Tuesday.
"Coming into the season. I thought we'd pull a few upsets," Geoffroy said. "None of us expected this."
"Everyone's bought into not giving up," Hannon said. "We'll be ready."
and tonight combined for 33 of the team's 46 points.
"One of the most glaring areas was points in the paint," Washington said. "I think it was pretty obvious in terms of the difference in the ballgames. I think that Stephens in the second half became much more effective."
blueprint of the season," coach Marian Washington said. "We play with some of the best teams for 20 minutes, and we lose steam in the second half."

Kansas State, which is 11-14 overall and 5-9 in the Big 12, is coming off a tough road loss Saturday to Iowa State but has been playing better lately. The team is 4-4 in its last eight games and is seventh in the Big 12 standings.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
The Wildcats have made 48 percent of their shots from the field during the last seven games. Seniorguard Larry Reid has led the way, averaging 14.7 points per game.
Junior forward Nick Collison puts up his arms in an attempt to block a shot. Kansas will defend its No.1 ranking against Kansas State tonight at Allen Fieldhouse.
be efficient with his speech.
Williams said the Wildcats had become a more formidable foe because of Jim Wooldridge's
"I won't give too long of a speech, just the basics — coach, teammates and family," he said. "That's probably going to be the hardest part for me — talking about my family and my brother."
Between all of the senior day hoopla, of course, is the game, which, on paper, looks to be a blow out.
BASKETBALL

"I think they have improved since the beginning of the season a great deal," Williams said. "They're buying into Jimmy's philosophy and style of play more. They've had a couple of heart-breaking losses."
strong coaching.
"One of the biggest things we've got to do is stay positive and continue to believe in ourselves," Wooldridge said. "This is the time of year when guys have to step up and perform. We have to understand that in a game like this there might be some added incentives by the opponent, but we can't do anything about that."
Kansas State is 0-7 on road in Big 12 play, and Wooldridge said playing against the Jayhawks away from home on senior day would be the team's most difficult task this season.

BOSCHEE
Honorable Mention All-Big 12.
Since then, Boschee has become the most prolific three-point shooter in Kansas history and is in a tight battle with Missouri senior Clarence Gilbert — Boschee leads the Tiger 308 to 307 in three-point goals — to capture the Big 12's all-time mark.
BOSCHEE
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1P
Now playing shooting guard instead of point guard, Boschee is in the midst of his best year ever. The senior has connected on 46 percent of his three-point attempts — 80 of 174 — and is averaging a career-high 13.8 points per game.
"I feel like I'm playing with a lot more confidence out on the floor," he said. "I feel like my confidence level is where it was toward the end of my freshman year when we were playing in the Big 12, but I think my talent level has gotten a lot better since I was a freshman."
There's no doubt Boschee has blossomed into one of the Big 12's best players, but it's his poise and quiet leadership that has really helped the Jayhawks (25-2 overall) to a No.1 ranking and perfect 14-0 conference record this season.
"Jeff's cool and calm," junior Kirk Hinrich said. "That's just his character. He does it by example."
Aside from the occasional fist pump and that tongue incident four years ago, Boschee rarely lets his emotion show, but he blew his top near the end of Kansas' game at Iowa State a month ago.
"I just kind of lost it," he said. "I was pissed off because we were weren't playing too hard and we looked kind of lethargic out there. I came in the huddle and started blowing up. I don't know where it came from."
Whatever he said worked. Kansas tied the game late and Boschehit hit a game-winning three-pointer with 36 seconds left.
The Jayhawks weren't the only ones who raised eyebrows over Boschee's vocal leadership that night.
"I was listening to him on the floor." Iowa State swinger

Shane Power said. "It seemed to me like he was the heart and soul of their team. On any given day he can be the man that wins the game for them.
"He sure did tonight."
Despite his success as a sharpshooter, Boschee said he had received limited interest from the NBA. The questionnaire sent to him by the Chicago Bulls last summer is the extent of the attention the NBA had given him.
"Not many people knew about me in high school. I kind of came up on the scene at the Nike camp and played good there." Boschee said. "If I canget into one of the draft camps maybe it can happen."
He's not dwelling on what might transpire after the college basketball season. Right now Boschee wants to make the most of the time he has left competing as a Jayhawk and enjoy the locker room shenanigans of his teammates.
He says those moments—the ones nobody reports and writes about— are what he will miss most when his eligibility runs out. The long bus rides with teammates and coaches to away games; the trips to Maui, Alaska, New York and dozens of other places; and meeting more people than he ever imagined have all had an impact on him as a student-athlete at Kansas.
"He put it in Michael Lee's locker and it was sitting there farting." Eoschee said. "It was pretty funny."
Like the time Jeff Carey snuck a "fart machine" into a freshman's locker.
"There's nothing that I won't miss," he said. "I'm going to miss, everything about playing at KU."

War movies ride patriotism
AP Movie Writer
LOS ANGELES — Long before Sept. 11, movie studios had rediscovered their love of the soldier. A rush of military dramas shot before the terrorist attacks are now riding a wave of public patriotism at its highest level since World War II.
By chance, Hollywood already had chosen to revisit notions of duty, honor, camaraderie and sacrifice in a range of combat arenas, from World War II and Vietnam to Somalia and Bosnia.
The courage-under-fire themes of Black Hawk Down, Behind Enemy Lines, Hart's War, and the upcoming We Were Soldiers and Windtalkers would do John Wayne proud.
While generally projecting the U.S. military in a good light, the films are not so much exercises in flag-waving as they are acclama-
tions of the fraternity of fighting.
"These guys went over there with ideals and pride and desire to be the vanguard of freedoms most of us take for granted," said Mel Gibson, who stars in We Soldiers as Lt. Col Hal Moore, a commander in the first big battle against the North Vietnamese in 1965.
"Once they got there, they were under siege, backs to the wall. They didn't eat or drink or sleep. Basically, it became that they were fighting for each other. It's not mom or apple pie you're fighting for, it's the guy next to you."
The call to arms for fresh war films came after a period of indifference toward the soldiery during the self-absorbed 1980s and early '90s. Cartoonish action heroes ruled the adventure genre, and the big war movie of the '80s was Platoon, which presented Vietnam troops in an ugly light.
Platoon came after more than a decade of disillusionment with federal authority after the Watergate scandal and Vietnam pullout. Then, the military came to seem less relevant after the Soviet Union crumbled and the Pentagon closed bases.
"It was not the most popular thing in the world to be a soldier then," said Rod Lurie, a 1984 West Point graduate who directed last year's military prison drama The Last Castle.
In the mid-1990s, ceremonies, books and news coverage of the 50th anniversary of D-Day and the end of World War II rekindled appreciation for veterans. Tom Brokaw's World War II best-seller The Greatest Generation and Steven Spielberg's Normandy invasion epic Saving Private Ryan put human faces on that war for a generation that had not lived through it.

Student Senate to give money for Pride Week
By Sarah Hill Kansan staff writer
In two controversial decisions, Student Senate last night allocated money to finance speakers for Queers and Allies' Pride Week and rejected a bill to allow the elections commission to hear complaints about this year's election code.
Student Senate passed a bill that gave Queers and Allies $7,400 for three entertainers during Pride Week, which will be held April 8 to 13. Queers and Allies had requested $10,500.
The bill was tabled in last week's Student Senate finance committee, but was resubmitted and passed last night in the Student Senate executive committee. Queers and Allies was working under time constraints to get the event set up.
"If we get the funding tonight, we can call agents and book the acts tomorrow," said Christine Robinson, Queers and Allies member.
"If we get the funding tonight, we can call agents and book the acts tomorrow,"
Christine Robinson Queers and Allies member
Student senators raised questions during the full senate meeting about Queers and Allies' fundraising throughout the year.
Robinson said that the organization had asked for money from Coca-Cola that was allocated through the Dean of Student's Office, but would not know if the money would be available until after the next Coca-Cola meeting on March 19.
Tina Warinner, Overland Park senior and Queers and Allies member, said the Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Association each donated $100 to Pride Week.
Tara Wolfe, Queens and Allies treasurer, said the organization had been at the University for 31 years and that Student Senate had funded Pride Week for the last 18 years.
Student Senate also debated a two part bill about the Student Senate elections code.
The first part of the bill would have given students until Friday to voice complaints about this year's changes to the elections code.
Branden Bell, holdover senator and sponsor of the bill, said he was concerned that students were not aware of this year's changes to the code because it was not publicized. The elections commission had refused to extend the original complaint period, which ran from February 4 to 8.
The bill failed by two votes.
The second part of the bill added Oliver Hall as an official polling site to the Student Senate rules and regulations, and mandated that all polling locations would be open on both days of elections.
The bill also charges the Elections Commissioner David Mitchell with notifying the student body of the publication of the election code when it becomes available for public review.
Mitchell said the senate bill was a success for the elections commission.
"They're giving us a huge vote of confidence during the election season and their support for the future," he said.

Freshman nose'her strengths
Editor's note: Every face in the crowd and every number in the phonebook has a story behind it. So every week, staff reporter Adam Pracht will randomly select a KU student and tell his or her story. Watch for it.
By Adam Pracht Kansan staff writer
Jessica Pounds could have a dead fish under her bed and never realize it.
She was born with a condition called anosmia, the complete lack of a sense of smell.
The freshman from Hunter first realized she couldn't smell in the second grade when her teacher showed the class exactly what a sense of smell is.
Her teacher set out paper bags, and Pounds and her classmates had to guess what was in each bag using only their nose. But Pounds couldn't smell anything.
"People don't even realize how often they ask, 'Here, smell this,' and I like, 'Yea, I can't.'" she said.
According to the American Rhinologic Society, more than two million Americans have a smell or taste disorder.
Pounds' case is rare because she was born with the condition and did not develop it from brain damage or chemicals — how most people get the disorder.
Her father, Max Pounds, deals with a similar problem. He can smell, but only if the scent is very strong.
"Me and Jessica, I'm not kidding you, we couldn't smell a skunk if it was under the car," he said.
Jessica Pounds said she often got strange reactions
AFA
Jessica Pounds, Hunter freshman, sits in her dorm room at Oliver Hall. Pounds grew up in a town that had a population of only 80 people and was a 2001 high school graduate of 13 people.
when she told someone she couldn't smell. Some people react with surprise; others are just rude.
"I'll say, 'I cannot smell,' so a guy will just fart like that," she said. "It's like they save it up for me to smell or something."
Pounds said she managed well without a sense of smell. She has politely pretended to sniff the flowers and when she buys perfume, she has someone describe how it smells to her. A friend once told her a musty smell was like the lighting in old pictures.
The problems her lack of smell cause are usually minor, such as not recognizing when food has spoiled. Because the sense of smell and taste are closely connected, Pounds finds that a food's taste does little to influence her eating

Fire forces victims to re-evaluate their lives
By Rachel Keesee Kansan staff reporter
Two people whose homes burned in a fire last week at Coachlight Apartments have been reassessing the value of material possessions and trying to get their lives back in order.
For Harrison, also a former staff member of the Kansan, that loss is at least $10.000.
Carolyn Willis, Portuguese lecturer, and Laurie Harrison, Lawrence graduate student, were both fortunate enough to have renter's insurance that will cover the loss of their possessions.
"I think I'm still in shock, because I haven't really felt anything yet," Harrison said. "I lost probably 99 percent of my stuff. All my clothes, all my kitchen products, my furniture, all my books and all my CDs. Anything really you can think of. I lost."
The fire began at about 1:30 a.m. Feb. 18 in the apartment of Janet Murphy, 59 who died in the fire. The Lawrence-Douglas County Fire & Medical Department said the blaze was caused by careless smoking.
Harrison's apartment was one door to the east of Murphy's and was virtually destroyed. With the help of her renter's insurance company, she found a new apartment.
"It was either this or a hotel for an unknown amount of time," Harrison said.
The insurance company will pay for the first month, because Harrison already had paid a full month's rent at Coachlight.
Harrison said she planned to stay in the apartment until the semester was over because she didn't have time to go apartment-hunting.
"I dropped one class, so now I just have two," Harrison said. "I don't think I will be able to catch up and do good in my classes if I should move before May or mid-May when the semester is over."
The dropped class also pushed back Harrison's graduation date at least a semester.
"It's frustrating, because I know it's going to be more expensive and I'll have to get a few more loans," she said.
Carolyn Willis said the fire had not caused her any major concerns, but it made her reevaluate the importance of material possessions.
"At first I was shocked, then I was angry, and now I'm calmer," Willis said. "But they're just things. You can buy new things."
Willis said she was fortunate to have just smoke and water damage, and her insurance was paying to have all her possessions professionally cleaned to get rid of the smoke odor.
She had just bought renter's insurance in December.
"I never expected to have to use it, especially not two or three months after I got it," she said. "They'll even reimburse me for food I lost and the mirror that broke, although I had to pay a $200 deductible."
The insurance company also found an apartment for Willis.
"Unfortunately, I didn't have a lease, so I'm hoping to get in another place in two or three weeks," Willis said. "I haven't decided whether to move back into my old apartment or not. It's not really a safety thing, but it does make you think. It only takes one time."
Willis said she was telling everyone to get renter's insurance.
"For peace of mind," she said, "it's worth it."

Senate approves bill to prohibit price gouging, sends to House
TOPEKA — An anti-profiteering bill prompted by spikes in gasoline prices Sept. 11 won Senate approval yesterday as other legislative responses to the terrorist attacks also advanced.
In addition, senators gave first-round approval on a voice vote to a House resolution creating a joint legislative committee on security issues. Final action is scheduled for today.
The bill on profiteering would subject merchants to lawsuits and possible fines for gouging consumers with high prices after disasters. The 26-14 vote sent the measure to the House.
Meanwhile, the House tentatively approved a bill permitting state and local government agencies to close records that deal with the security of energy and telecommunications companies.
CORRECTIONS
A correction in yesterday's Kansan incorrectly stated that Lawrence graduate student Christine Robinson disagreed with Student Senate's decision not to fund advertising for this week's blood drive. Robinson said she thought Senate's decision was sufficient to send a message that donation guidelines discriminated against gay and bisexual men and that students did not need to protest the blood drive. Robinson said she supported the blood drive.
The group members pictured in yesterday's Camera on KU were not the winners of the Engineering Expo. The electrical engineering and computer science department won the expo.

Each was charged with criminal trespassing, a misdemeanor, Tate said.

U.S. Air Force contract could add jobs Boeing
WICHITA — The Boeing Co. announced yesterday it would use its plant and work force here for the tanker conversion of the Boeing 767 — a move that could mean hundreds of new jobs at the beleaguered aircraft manufacturer.
Boeing did not release any specific job numbers in connection with the project.
The company added, however, that the project was contingent on the U.S. Air Force choosing Boeing for the contract.
Its Wichita Development and Modification Center, where the tanker work would be done, now employs about 2,000 workers.

Women's hall examines body image
By Summer Lewis Kansan staff writer
Residents of Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall took some time out of dinner last night to answer trivia questions about fitness, nutrition and body image.
The Jeopardy game was part of the "Celebrate Every Body" week.
Joyce H. Langer
SARA SHEPHERD/KANSAN
Barbara Wilson, dietitian at GSP-Corbin, said the activity was important because of the all-woman population in the hall.
Falestine Afaniruzik, Minneapolis sophomore, ponders the answer to a Nutrition and Fitness Jeopardy question held by Ann Chapman, a dietician at Watkins Memorial Health Center. Women in the GSP-Corbin dining center played the game yesterday as part of "Celebrate Every Body" week.
"Dieting is important to them, and this week we are promoting healthy, happy eating and ways to respect our bodies," Wilson said.
Jennifer Daugherty, Huntington Beach, Calif., freshman, said she thought it was effective to have the jeopardy game in the residence hall.
each unique body type."
"I think 'Celebrate Every Body' week is a great idea, especially to have something featured in the GSP-Corbin dining center because it seems like so many girls here are obsessed with their weight and their body image." Daugherty said. "It is great for us to celebrate what we have and
Throughout the evening, girls answered questions about healthy eating habits. Laura Fisher, Dallas, Ore., freshman, said she was glad to see Watkins Memorial Health Center officials at GSP-Corbin.
"I think this week's program is excellent and I am really excited to see Watkins getting involved all over campus," Fisher said. "It is good to spread all of this healthy information to the girls."
Jill Urkoski, coordinator of recreation services, said it was critical for students to learn healthy habits.
"This is a really important age to do something like this for college students," she said. "I think that between high school and college, students are doing a lot of soul searching and finding out who they are."
Urkoski said college students could be influenced by the wrong kind of people and given wrong information.
"In high school you have friends and family," she said. "Once you get out on your own, you can be easily influenced by
other people or the media or somebody who lives a couple of rooms down from you. I think that students can get off track sometimes, and it is hard for them to realize that they might have a problem."
She said the Jeopardy game and the other events this week
were a celebration of individuality.
"It is really important for us to celebrate who we are and what shape we are," Urkoski said.

Kiosk gives students forum to publish work; entry deadline today
By Maggie Koerth Kansan staff writer
Budding writers looking for a place to publish their work might be able to find a spot in the Kiosk.
The Kiosk is published each semester. Eric Davis, St. Louis senior, is the editor-in-chief of the Kiosk. He said the name was originally chosen to reflect the magazine's intent.
The Kiosk is published each semester.
Once all the submissions are in, a board of students reads them, and picks its favorite. The editors then have a conference to decide which pieces will ultimately be published.
The deadline to submit work to the Kiosk, the University's 12-year-old, student-published literary magazine, is 5 p.m. today.
"People want a place to get their work out," he said. "We get about 70 poems and about 35 short stories every semester."
Davis said he thought the Kiosk had lasted such a long time because it filled a student need.
The Kiosk usually publishes about three stories and 10 poems each semester.
Scott McKenzie, Salina junior, had one of his poems, "First First Nation," published last spring.
"A kiosk is a place to display art and ideas," he said. "It's a forum, and that's what the magazine is as well."
McKenzie said he submitted five poems and was surprised about which one got published.
"I didn't really think it represented me or my work very well," he said.
The department of English helps finance the magazine,but the staff also relies on outside funding to publish.
All students can make submissions to the Kiosk. Students interested in submitting should bring three typed copies of each entry to 3114 Wescoe or e-mail the Kiosk at thekioskku@hotmail.com. Entrants should also include a cover letter with their name, KUID number, phone number, e-mail address and the title of the work.
The Kiosk staff will be throwing a benefit concert at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 14. in Hashinger Hall theatre.
Contact Koerth at mkoerth.kansan.com.

The Kiosk is University's studentpublished literary magazine. It comes out twice a year.
The submission deadline for poems and fiction is 5 p.m. today. Three typed copies of each piece should be submitted to 3114 Wescoe or sent to thekiosku@hotmail.com. Include a cover letter with your name, KUID, phone number, e-mail and the title of your piece.
If you are interested in working for the Kiosk, contact Eric Davis at 842-2451.
The submission deadline for art is Monday, March 4. Please call Melissa Medina at 766-4794 or Brian Mackin at 016-7065 for information.

Max Pounds said that he was proud of her willingness to work for the farm and her commitment to her family.
"I think I like foods a lot based on their texture," she said. "I like peanut butter and bananas because I like that texture."
"She's very kind," he said. "She's just truly the most perfect daughter you could ever have."
Sometimes her lack of smell can be dangerous. A week before school began last fall, a fire started in the chicken coop just outside her family's rural home. She wasn't able to smell the fumes and only discovered the fire after she saw smoke entering the house.

Firefighters put out the fire before it could seriously damage their home, but she said that the event was frightening.
"It was only us kids home," Pounds said. "It was so, so scary."
But the times when her disability is dangerous are rare. In fact, Pounds said a lack of smell had allowed her to help do jobs on the farm that would have been unpleasant for others in her family. She has helped clean everything from moldy freezers to cow manure
"I could see my mom in the corner gagging," she said. "It didn't bother me, I was glad that I could help."

Alissa Hughes, Overland Park freshman and her roommate, also said Pounds was a caring and generous person.
"I would like to experience it," she said. "I would like to know what everyone else knows."
Rounds said that while she was glad that she could help do jobs that would be an ordeal for those with smell, she still would like to understand aromas and fragrances.
"I think she's the kind of person that would be there for anvbdv, no matter who," she said.

- Dean of students. Richard Johnson sits in the Kansas Union once a week so that students cant talk to him about anything. Accessible administrators are always a plus.
- Blood drive. Although turnout was down from last semester, the people who donated their time and blood at the campus blood drive should be commended.
Pass:
Kansas women's basketball team. Even though they've had a rough season, these women still play their hearts out.
Fail:
■ Excessive fire alarms. In case you didn't know, pulling the fire alarm in a residence hall is not cool. Just ask the 800 cold, angry McCollum Hall residents who were stranded outside for two hours in the middle of the night last week.
Unpredictable Kansas weather. A 40-plus degree drop in less than a day? Don't put away those sweaters, yet. Winter's back with a vengeance.
Vanilla Ice. His macho acts of lifting up women's shirts at his concert on Friday is not appreciated. He also gets a fail just for being Vanilla Ice.
PERSPECTIVE
Ethnic studies illuminate diversity present a balanced viewpoint
For three hours every week, I can pretend the University of Kansas is actually diverse.
My African American Humor and Comedy class features the only black professor. I appreciate ethnic studies courses because I learn history never mentioned in my earlier education.
Myths — such as pioneers, soldiers and cowboys all being white — contaminate our collective American spirit. Just because minorities were rarely mentioned in history classes doesn't mean that they didn't factor into our past.
I remember having to tell my white fifth-grade teacher that "colored" was no longer an acceptable term for African Americans. How could I expect a balanced portrayal of history from a woman who was 50 years behind on race relations?
I readed the one day African Americans were mentioned — in the watered-down explanation of slavery. I could feel every white child's eyes on the back of my neck. The only time they saw someone who looked like me in the book was a picture of a slave in shackles.
Images are powerful. If you don't think so, imagine a world in which the majority of images reflect a race other than your own.
As people argue the need of ethnic studies and Black History Month, they miss the real purpose. The multicultural view of history is not a passing fad or an exercise in political correctness. It's the realization that white people aren't the only ones who shaped this country.
Americans like to put black-history makers in little boxes for mass consumption. We keep Martin Luther King Jr. trapped in a perpetual dream and Malcolm X in an everlasting militant stance. We relearn the same facts every year and call it progress.
COMMENTARY
Alexzia Plummer opinion@kansan.com
In a perfect world, there would be no need for special classes or months. We would learn the whole history of this country and know all races' contributions. But this world isn't perfect, and
we can't wish away problems of race relations by ignoring them. Colorblindness doesn't mean swallowing a whitewashed view of history.
The ethnic history classes that I've taken at the University have helped balance the education I got before coming to college. As I sit in my African American comedy class, I enjoy hearing diverse viewpoints I don't hear elsewhere on campus.
I encourage anyone to take an ethnic studies course and experience a different perspective on history. None of these classes will make you an expert, nor are they a badge of new enlightenment. They simply bring the campus closer to intelligent and productive discussions about race relations.
Plummer is a Bellevue, Neb., sophomore in journalism.
PERSPECTIVE
Protesters should stop their whining
When I opened The University Daily Kansan on Monday, I was greeted by two ghastly sights. One was Vanilla Ice, and the other was people protesting Starbucks, 647 Massachusetts St.
This is the second time people have protested the selling out of downtown this school year. The first was the rally last fall, in which people brought couches and blocked the 600 block of Massachusetts Street to protest, among other things, more corporate storefronts on the street.
It really chaps my big Filipino ass that I can't walk into a Starbucks and buy a caramel macchiato without some environmentalist shoving a sign in front of my face about free-trade coffee beans. You don't see me protesting in front of the Community Mercantile about how tofu tastes like feet and how harmless bean sprouts were killed so a vegetarian could enjoy a soy burger.
It boggles my mind that people actually protested in front of a Starbucks and that there was an Organic Consumers Association's Starbucks Week of Action. Don't these people have more productive things to do, such as fire-bombing oil rigs or spray painting someone's fur coat?
If I want to buy $100 pre-ripped jeans
COMMENTARY
Eric Borja opinion@kansan.com
You know what? That's not how it works. Corporate businesses have worked together with local businesses in Lawrence very well and they compliment each other. Corporate businesses bring bodies downtown, and that makes everybody happy. You think people from Eudora or Tonganoxie come into Lawrence to shop at Sugarart Traders, 918 Massachusetts St. They don't.
at Abercrombie & Fitch, 647 Massachusetts St. I, will to think about the character of Lawrence and how it's such a unique town. And if I buy those lovely jeans, I will be putting some poor independent shop owner on the street.
People shop at Eddie Bauer Inc, The Gap, both 643 Massachusetts St., Urban Outfitters, 1031 Massachusetts St., and the like. If they didn't, the stores wouldn't be in business.
This same fear happened when Borders Books Music & Cafe, 700 New Hampshire St., came into town. Everyone freaked out because they thought Borders would make all the local book shops go under. But several local bookstores are still in business.
I find it ironic that while the Protesters want more compensation for the coffee growers of the world, the clothes that they wear are made by citizens of Third World countries who get paid less than coffee growers.
This brings me back to those tree- huggers — I mean, protesters. The Kansan article stated that the students were protesting Starbucks for not using more fair-trade coffee in its products, and that Starbucks used hormone-enhanced milk. Why not protest Starbucks for selling caffeinated products for keeping students up past their bedtimes?
Instead of bothering people who want a cup of coffee, protesters should eat breakfast, lunch and dinner at the independently owned coffee shops.I am sure the sweet moral victory against a corporate giant like Starbucks is better than any tofu fajita money can buy.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Borja is a Springfield, Mo., junior in journalism.
Here's an idea, the next time you and your staff decide to print an article pertaining to exercise and nutrition, find a laboratory that specifically deals with how exercise and nutrition affect the human body, and ask the individuals who possess the knowledge about those subjects all the questions you desire.
If you're going to write articles regarding exercise and nutrition, can you at least use individuals as references that have a clue as to what message they're sending to the public? Do you think a "vitamin assistant" can tell you how carbohydrates, proteins and fats affect your metabolism?
Dear editor:
I'm a doctoral student in exercise physiology. Your article ("Some energy bars fall short," Jan. 28) on energy bars was just what we needed: something else regarding exercise and nutrition that's misleading and incorrect.
As someone who has devoted my life to studying the effects of exercise on the human body and how we as a population can become healthy again, I'm disgusted at the majority of the articles in your paper that deal with exercise and health issues. I hope in the future your staff will spend more time performing in-depth research of the issues in exercise and nutrition before you expose your audience to irrelevant information.

Why is it when guys masturbate the cops get called, but when girls masturbate buddies get called?
Dude, I just wanted you to know that I put a curse on that football stool. Every time you sit on it you're going to have a terrible run around your ass.
I'm listening to V-Ice on KJHK. Apparently he likes to have sex all night, 'cause he said about 3,000 times in his new song.
Ghani had better food than Oliver Hall.
This is the cute guy in the history class.
Well, I tell you what, if you give me a big
winning smile I'll say hello to you.
I'm a single lady calling from the Crossing, and I just wanted to let all the boys at the KU campus know that Dr. Martens went out of style in about 1994. Please put it in the paper, and let them know.
so I'm watching this commercial that says when I buy my drugs I'm supporting terrorism. Why doesn't the government legalize drugs, so when I buy my drugs I'm supporting them and not terrorism?
I was making love to this girl last night, and in the middle of it told her she made me want to be a kindergarten teacher. I didn't talk to her after that.
Yeah, this was my friend's pick-up line,
and he didn't even say it right. It sucks.
Listen here's what I have to say, the Triangle house is not a fraternity. It's not a Greek letter. It's a shape, and it's not a real frat. Triangle, you suck.
All I have to say is, this is my words of wisdom: all girls need to break up with their boysfriend, everyone needs to drink more beer and Free for All rocks. What's up with that?
Here we go. Yes, that was my friend that yelled at the guy in the yellow sweater.
Sorry we thought you were a girl, but my friend says she doesn't care if your舅 sent you the sweater. It's still ugly, and you probably shouldn't have been wearing it.
Free for All, what is with that? I know you have caller ID, and everyone here decided that you should have all our quotes from this number in the paper on Monday. So you should put all the quotes from this number in the paper on Monday. Random, random, random. I'm in a sorority, and I said random. I'm not in a sorority, but I'll say random too.
Yeah, my friend just poured her beer in the pitcher, and I'm kind of pissed off. Wouldn't that make you upset too?
Hi, this on the dude that called the other day on sorochity cocks saying random all the time, I think the response would be, "As if."
Hey, how many athletes or RAs would it take to screw in a light bulb? None, University housing would do it for them.
I have a calendar, and it has a ferret on it,
and it's so cute, and the ferret's wearing a little hat. My roommate hates it, but I love it, and my fish loves it too.

For everyone in the intramural basketball tournament, beware. Delta Chi team three is on a roll.
Hey Drew Gooden, here's the deal: If you win the national championship I'll personally pack your bags for you for the NBA; but if we don't, you come back for your senior season. That's the deal.
Drew, you know what, forget what everyone is saying. You should go pro. Paul Pierce is the only Jayhawk under Roy Williams to go after his junior year. Hey why not?
Yeah, so I'm just sitting in the Fieldhouse thinking about all the great past basketball players we had from the University of Kansas, and does anyone remember John Crider, the former KU bench warmer, I mean basketball player. Anyone? Yeah, that's what I thought.
Me and my friends are jaywalking right now, so we are the jaywalking Jay-hawks.

I would just like to say that my intramural team ran a frat team by 70 points.
A lot of talk has been made about frats ruling the University of Kansas. They may rule drinking; but as far as sports and athletics goes, they need to get out of intramurals.

Center provides fun, learning for campus kids
Expanding upon the traditional concept of day care, Hilltop Child Development Center teaches as well as entertains.

By Mike Gilligan Kansan staff writer
Christine Hammon remembers how hard it was bringing her child to class.
Mrs. Harvey's son
"It's hard to concentrate because you're still being a parent," said Hammon, a Lawrence graduate student in sculpture. "I would have to pay attention to my child and the class at the same time."
Julian Silverstein, 6, and Gage Nelson, 6, paint and glitter hats in the Hilltop Development Center. Pat Pisani, director of the center said about 85 to 90 percent of the children here are related to either faculty or students of KU.
Students like Hammon don't have to bring their children to class if they choose the Hilltop Child Development Center, an on-campus child care facility where students have first priority.
Liam Prum, 4,and Lindsey Stroud, Salina senior, work with building blocks in the Hilltop Child Development Center.
Hilltop, which recently moved to a new location at 1605 Irving Road, aims to provide care and an educational curriculum at the same time, according to its Web site.
The center is open from 7:15
"It's not a day care center," said Pat Pisani, director of the center. "We have educational programs for the children."
INDSEY KILIANY/KANSAN
a. m. to 5:45 p.m. The cost varies depending on the age of the child, the program, the parent's monthly income, and the number of children in the family.
Full-day programs cost from about $20 to $28 a day and half-day programs cost about $10 to $18 a day.
"Even when they are playing sports outside, it's still educational." Pisani said. "They are developing their motor skills, learning cooperation and taking turns."
Hammon said the aspect of education, and not just day care, was an important factor in deciding which facility to choose.
"Kids need structure," she said. "The facility combines education with activities."
Pisani, who has worked at the center for 12 years, said the facility was accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
"We are even higher regarded than some programs because of our accreditation," she said.
She said the center followed a set of guidelines set by the association for specific age groups.
"The kids, from 1 to 4 years old, work on things like coloring and counting," said Pisani. "The older kids work on more advanced things like language."
Pisani said the center had different programs depending on
ages and how long the kids stayed at the center.
There is a full-day program for kids ages 1 to 4 and kindergartners, as well as a half-day program for pre-schoolers ages 1 to 4.
"We also have an after-school program for first through fourthgraders," Pisani said. "It's the perfect situation for families who don't know what to do with their kids the rest of the day."
About 60 percent of the children at the center are from student families. There are about 210 children currently enrolled in programs at
the center, Pisani said.
Eaton said she was happy with
the center.
"It's a fabulous facility, the best in Lawrence," she said. "It's close to where I take classes and the teachers are wonderful."

How It Feels to Actually Hear The Sound of Mom's Voice
KU can't cure all hearing-impaired children. Yet. But it can help the very young hear better, adapt, or on occasion experience the joy of a full recovery.
The Hartley Family Center at KU Med is one of several whose mission is the improvement of children's lives. It's part of a broader commitment to serve the state and region with cradle-to-grave health care. This tradition began with a former Chancellor, Franklin Murphy, who put fourth-year med students to work with rural Kansas physicians and, in so do
ku first
to work with rural Kansas physicians and, in so doing, established a national model for medical outreach.
INVEST IN EXCELLENCE
st in
KU First intends to raise $500 million by 2004, $22 million of which will be devoted to outreach programs providing specialty health-care solutions, and $3 million for programs in public service and public policy.
Because it's the right thing to do.

Students propose new class to help graduates break into real world
By Caroline Boyer
Kansan staff writer
Members of two student organizations say graduating with a degree does not necessarily make you ready for the real world.
"What a lot of people do in college is train to be a professional, but not how to go into the profession." Morrow said.
Students in Free Enterprise and the Collegiate Entrepreneurs' Organization are proposing an entrepreneurship class that would teach students graduating with non-business degrees some of the basics of creating their own business. They will hold a forum to discuss the class from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. tomorrow at the English Room in the Kansas Union.
For example, the class would help students in medicine or music who want to open businesses after college, but who haven't learned skills such as basic accounting and payroll in their major.
Jeff Morrow, business professor and SIFE advisor, said school did not always prepare students for life outside campus and that this class would help them to do so.
Eric Gonsher, CEO vice president and Overland Park senior, said the class would follow a curriculum called FastTrac set up by the Kauffman Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership. Representatives from the foundation will be at the forum to talk about how other universities have set up similar classes.
"We came up with the idea at one of our meetings, and we decided to go for it," Gonsher said.
SIFE tries to foster free-enterprise education in the community. The organization has helped with entrepreneurship classes for high schools and professionals and is now breaking into college classes, Morrow said.
"What a lot of people do in college is train to be professional but not how to get into the profession." Jeff Morrow
Jeff Morrow SIFE Advisor
Morrow said the groups hoped to get representatives from many non-business schools to attend the meeting.
CEO was created a year ago and helps students who already have their own businesses or who are interested in beginning their own businesses.
"Our goal is to get student feedback and turn it into the appropriate administrative bodies from there," Morrow said.
Roy Ben-Aharon, president of CEO and Plano, Texas, senior, said Pam Houston from the university registrar's office also planned to attend the forum to discuss possibilities of getting the class in the curriculum.
"I think the earliest the class could get in the curriculum would be Spring 2003, but I'm guessing it will be more like Fall 2003," Ben-Aharon said.

Contractor selected for construction of recreation center
By Meredith Carr Kansan staff writer
The State Division of Purchasing selected a Topeka-based contracting company last week to work on the new KU recreation center.
Altmar Inc. will start work next month after a contract is signed with the University of Kansas and after the finance bonds to pay for building the center sell. The center will be located west of parking lot 90 near Watkins Health Center.
Students should expect to see construction soon, Bob Rombach, project manager, said. Rombach said at a meeting earlier this month that no parking would be affected by the construction of the facility.
Of the nine contracting companies that submitted bids, Altmar Inc. placed the lowest bid at $12,319,000 and was selected last Wednesday. State law requires that University-related projects go to the lowest bidder. The highest bidder was an independent contractor placing his bid at $14,080,000.
The budget for the project is $17.1 million, money that is currently in bonds. The contractors placed bids earlier this month by a closed ballot. By law, the Legislature, and not the University, decided the contracting company.
But nothing is set in stone for the contracting company
until the University of Kansas sells the bonds that will finance the new recreation facility. The date for bond sale is March 7.
The University is working with the Kansas Development of Finance Authority to put information together in order to market the bonds and make them look attractive as an investment.
"The Kansas Legislature approved selling the bonds to finance the new recreation facility." Theresa Klinkenberg, university director of administration, said. "The bonds will be repaid by student funds."
The ground breaking is scheduled for 4 p.m. April 12 in conjunction with the Alumni Association's Golden Week, and the reunion of the class of 1952, Mary Chappell, director of recreation services, said.
The contracting company will get temporary power, water and phone service through the Watkins tunnel extension until the building is complete, Rombach said.
Student funds that will repay the bonds come from the $62 student recreation fee that students pay each year.
The facility is expected to be finished in 2003.

"It was about as good as I could imagine," Carey said. "It hasn't quite hit me yet that I won't step out on the floor here to play again except for practice. I'll probably be pretty upset when it does hit me."
The Jayhawk seniors were honored before the game with a shower of flowers given to them by fans. After the game, the team was presented with the Big 12 championship trophy, and the seniors received the chance to thank those who had helped them throughout their college basketball careers.
A majority of the 16,300 fans in attendance stayed to listen to the seniors' speeches, even though the post-game festivities lasted more than 50 minutes.

AARON SHOWALTER/KANSAN
"I got a little bit of grief from guys in the locker room about starting out the long speeches," said Zerbe, who was the third player to speak. "The first couple of speeches were pretty quick, but mine was about seven or eight minutes."
Senior forward Todd Kappelmann looks to evade Kansas State's defense. Kappelmann played his final game at Allen Fieldhouse last night.
Kansas still has one regular season game remaining — on the road against Missouri. Carey said no matter how the Jayhawks close out their season, he will still be proud about what he and his teammates have accomplished this year.
"We just need to go out play and we'll make it a long way."
Carey said. "Life sometimes throws you a curve ball. That's why I don't take anything for granted."

Senior guard Jeff Boschee drives toward the basket. Boschee scored 22 points last night in his last game at Allen Fieldhouse.
'Hawks declaw'Cats at last home game
By Doug Pacey
Kansan sportswriter
It hasn't been a typical week for Jeff Boschee.
The Valley City, N.D., native has been inundated with interview requests by North Dakota media outlets.
A television station in North Dakota has been airing stories of the senior all week.
A Valley City radio personality did an on-air interview with him Monday and a newspaper near the senior guard's hometown produced a four-part series on anything related to Boschee. His family was even the subject of a live interview after Wednesday night's 103-68 victory against Kansas State at Allen Fieldhouse.
But at the end of the game last night, Boschee did something to which even he has become accustomed.
Coming off a screen on the left wing, Kansas' all-time leading three-point shooter launched a bomb eight feet behind the arc and buried his final shot in the fieldhouse.
"Coach (Neil) Daugherty got mad at me the play before because I passed the ball," said Boschee, who hit five of nine three-pointers and scored 22 points. "So on the next play I called for the ball, but didn't realize how far back I was. I thought, 'Forget it,' and shot the ball. It felt so good to make that shot in my last game here. To go off with a bang."
The No. 1 Jayhawks (26-2 overall, 15-0 Big 12 Conference) beat Kansas State (11-15, 5-10) for Kansas' 19th straight Senior Night
victory. Five Jayhawks scored in double figures, led by Kirk Hinrich's 24 points. But the night seemed like it was scripted for Boschee and Kansas' other senior starters.
K-State scoreless. Williams credited their effort on defense, but was pleased with the way Brett Ballard and Chris Zerbe shot the ball, too.
After two-and-a-half minutes of play, the five seniors had held
"We came up with a couple steals, Boschee hits Brett for a lay-up, Boschee hits a three and
Chris makes a jump shot," Williams said. "That's a seven-zip run."
Ballard said it wasn't a coincidence Boschee knocked down a three for the Jayhawks' first points of the game.
"We told Jeff before the game that he had to look for his shot and create some offense," said senior guard Brett Ballard, who made his first career start. "Everybody knows he was the scorer out there. He was the shooter."
When Drew Gooden, Nick Collison, Aaron Miles and Hinrich entered the game, Boschee hit another three-pointer.
Hinrich said he didn't notice anything different about Boschee before the game, but he surely saw a different side of his teammate when the senior gave his speech.
After telling funny stories about Kansas' coaching staff and the affinity with picking fights with the players, the finality of playing his last game at the fieldhouse set in.
The senior choked up and tears welled in his eyes as he thanked Williams for "taking a chance on a kid from North Dakota" and when he spoke to his parents and brother in front of 16,300 people.
"It was different doing that after the game," he said. "I tried to crack some jokes and thought about what I wanted to say when the other guys went, but it went all right."

Seniors star in final home victory

If the first few minutes of the game were any indication, the senior members of the Kansas men's basketball team might have been able to beat Kansas State by themselves.
The Jayhawk seniors, minus forward Todd Kappelmann, sent the senior night crowd into a frenzy and went on a 10-0 run to start the game en route to a 103-68 victory against the Wildcats last night at Allen Fieldhouse.
Coach Roy Williams shares a laugh with some of his senior players towards the end of last night's game at Allen Fieldhouse. The men's team is undefeated so far in conference play, holding a 15-0 record in the Big 12.
Even the seniors, most of whom were former walk-ons, were surprised by their fast start.
"We obviously didn't expect to get out that good," guard Brett Ballard said. "It was kind of funny because we were saying on the bench that maybe we should go back in. The other guys struggled for a little bit, but obviously, they did a nice job. It was nice to get out and force some turnovers and get some easy baskets."
Kansas coach Roy Williams gave his seniors plenty of opportunities to show off their game, starting Jeff Carey, Chris Zerbe, Lewis Harrison, Jeff Boschee and Ballard. Kappelmann was announced as a starter and walked out on the court to begin the game, but he was taken out after an official motioned to Williams.
AARON SHOWALTER/KANSAN
By the rules, Williams could only start five players, not six. He said deciding whom to take out of the lineup was difficult.
"I was trying to think about the matchups," Williams said. "I tried to think of the most intelligent way to do it."
"It's not a big deal," he said. "A lot of those guys have been here for a long time and deserve it more than anyone. It was just kind of the luck of the draw. We had too many big men out there."
Kappelmann didn't take offense to not starting.
The Kansas student body still gave Kappelmann his due respect. Like out of a scene from the film Rudy, the fans chanted "Kappel-mann, Kappel-mann" at the midway point of
"I couldn't believe the crowd started chanting my name at 10 minutes," Kappelmann said. "I was like 'I don't think I can play that long without getting a little tired.'"
the second half.
Kappelmann did get his chance to play with 7:26 remaining in the contest, but he never managed to score.
"I really wanted to score, but it wasn't a big deal to me," he said. "To be real honest, I was a little winded out there. I was just happy to be out there and was glad we were winning."
All but two of the seniors were able to score against Kansas State, including forward Chris
Zerbe, who ended up with four points. He said senior night was more than he ever expected.
"It's a phenomenal feeling. You couldn't ask for anything better," Zerbe said. "I had butterflies today in class. I don't know if I was more worried about the game or the speech, but it turns out neither one of them were really that bad."
Forward Jeff Carey said it was tough to put into words how special the night was for him and that he would miss playing in the Fieldhouse.

Musician Ani DiFranco appeals to more than just the musical side of her fans
By Sarah Smarsh Jayplay writer
The artist takes a deep breath, raises one hand in the air and revamps the United States Declaration of Independence.
"We hold these three truths to be self-evident," the dreadlocked musician tells the sold-out crowd of attentive youth, her voice strong and impassioned. "Mr. Bush is not president." The crowd roars. "America is not a true democracy." The crowd roars again. "And the media is not fooling me." The beat continues, and it's hard to tell if the frenzied revelers are nodding their heads to keep time or to concur with Ami DIFranco's message.
DiFranco's rousing performance Monday night at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St. was a testament to the college scene's proverbial linking of politics
with music. While the singer-songwriter-guitarist-pianist-bongo drummer-record label CEO is a tour de force with her music alone, DiFranco's image evolved around her lyrical political commentaries, to which the Lawrence crowd responded with a resounding "Amen, sister." Before the concert, attendees streamed between information tables for Amnesty International, KU Greens and the Metropolitan Organization to Counter Sexual Assault.
Erin Runnels, a Kansas State University freshman who stood near the stage sporting long dreadlocks like DiFranco's, said college students were drawn to artists like DiFranco at a pivotal time in their lives.
"It's the age when people are trying to develop who they are and their viewpoints," Runnels said. "Ani and political artists appeal to that. It's not their parents' viewpoints. It's someone they can identify with."
The audience identified strongly with DiFranco's spoken-word performance of her poem inspired by Sept. 11, which

Certain music helps tame the wild
I've never had luck with pets. My first dog, Stickers, destroyed three baskets of laundry one night, much to my mother's chagrin. Later, a previous roommate's iguanas enjoyed breaking out of their cage and staging territorial struggles for the rights to my bed.
My latest attempt at housing the hoodlums of the animal kingdom involves two adopted cats. Mogwai, the youngest, keeps generally cool and enjoys interacting with human beings. Stella, on the other hand, often enjoys sitting and hating the human race with a disdainful glare and a hair-trigger set of claws.
COMMUNITY
However, I accidentally discovered that spacey, ambient rock albums played at a high volume have a calming effect that turns Stella into an affectionate creature. After conducting hours of painstaking research in my white lab coat and mortar board, I found the following albums to have profound calming effects on this most savage of my household's beasts.
COMMENTARY
Com Plex - The Helio Sequence, 2000. Written, performed, recorded and produced by the two band members in the music supply shop where they work. The Helio Sequence's Com Plex boasts a relentless barrage of otherworldly sounds that, when played at a high volume, are surprisingly soothing. Sounding like mid-period Beatles performing at the bottom of a pool's deep end, The Helio Sequence creates jangley five-minute pop songs whose more conventional elements, such as guitars, bass, drums and voices, are digitally mutated into beautifully alien caricatures of themselves.

Remain in Light — Talking Heads, 1980. All I really knew about this album was it featured the modest radio hit "Once in a Lifetime," which was also featured during the opening credits of the cinematic landmark Down and Out in Beverly Hills. But, when I threw on a recently acquired vinyl LP of Remain in Light, I was pleased to discover that not only did David Byrne and his nerdy little cronies create an album that is completely spooky in its atmospheric breadth, but they created a prime cat sedative as well.
The band's cover of John Lennon's "Tomorrow Never Knows" is the decided highlight of the album for Stella, who always appears oddly amused at the twisted prehistoric bird screams that swirl around from one speaker to the other as the song reaches its Atari 2600-in-the-meatgrinder climax.
Side one consists of funk-driven new wave dance tunes that allot equal space for indigenous percussion, guitar workouts and keyboard strangeness. Side two, minus "Lifetime," is a montage of droning synthesizer/drum pieces that are equally awe-inspiring
Loveless — My Bloody Valentine, 1991. Airy, paper-thin vocals and criminally understated drums ... why would anyone want to listen to this overblown, self-indulgent mope fest?
The frantic stuff provokes the cats to dart around the room attacking invisible insects — I think — but the droning stuff usually puts them to sleen even at their most bloodthirsty.
Naturally, I'll say it's the guitars — piles upon piles of fuzzed-out guitars played backward and strangled to death with their own tremolo bars help to fill out songs that move at about the same speed as your average glacier, and is certainly no less awe inspiring. The daredevil pitch-bending treatments guitarist/songwriter Kevin Shields gives these ambient tunes have been known to make some a little quiescent, but apparently cats find it particularly suitable for sleeping.
and creepy, like being in the desert at night. In fact, I'm fairly sure I stole that allusion from one of the song's lyrics.
When Loveless pounds throughout the house, Stella can always find time to take a break from her mountain lion-like charm to take a nap between the speakers for the duration of the album.
No two cats are the same, of course, but the effects I've witnessed these albums having on mine were quite amazing. Perhaps I'll write a follow-up column dealing with albums that should never be played near household pets — just as soon as I have time to secure a pair of steel mesh gloves and a tube of bactine.
Local music, not kegs, found at Pink House
By Michelle Burhenn Javolav writer
About 20 people gathered around a pink house, huddled in groups to keep warm during the early February weather. With the front picture window covered by a blanket and plastic wrap, the scene looked like a typical house party.
But inside the rosy walls of 1131 Tennessee St., about 60 people filled the living room and stood inches away from Nate Harold as he performed with his band Diversion 4.0. Part of the crowd flooded the front of the room of the Pink House, and it was difficult to determine where the band ended and its audience began.
"That's the most fun I have, playing at shows like that. Especially at that house," Harold, Weskan junior, said. "It's always fun. Usually people go out just to have fun with their friends, but that's not usually the case there. I just love the vibe."
Heath Leffel, Hutchinson junior and member of the band Last Ride Out, stood in the audience and said he agreed with Harold.
"I would say it's my favorite venue in Lawrence," Leffel said. "It's not a bar. It's a place where people come to see shows, not to drink."
What is known to local music junkies as the Pink House spruced from four guys' love of the Lawrence music scene and a Web site devoted to local music.

Piercing provides another dimension for sexual organs
GOAT
Once upon a time, in a KU long ago, there was a girl in Hashinger Hall who really, really wanted a pierced clitoris. She wanted the piercing so badly, the story goes, that she couldn't wait to get to a piercing parlor and couldn't find a needle — but she did have an ear-piercing gun.
S
wett, she stripped, spread her legs, took aim and fired.
I don't remember if my freshman-year friend who told me the story said whether the girl actually managed to pierce her clitoris, but she did manage to pierce a major artery.
Then, the poor girl was said to have run into the bathroom, bleeding all over the place. One of her hallmates called an ambulance, and the girl was wheeled out of Hash — right in time for the dinner crowd to gawk at every horrible moment. The end.

Those who have genital piercings smirk with pride when you ask, eyes wide with wonder, how that little metal piercing feels between their legs and in their stuff. It's like they know something — something nice
Pain. Bleeding. Sharp objects piercing private parts. Doesn't sound like quite the recipe for some damn good feelings — but you might be surprised.
COMMENTARY
So, you're ready to head to a licensed parlor and set your stuff pierced, right?
that the unpierced don't.
Women have many creative piercing options and, in fact, the clitoris is one of the less common piercings because many aren't large enough to be pierced.
More common piercings are the inner and outer lips of the vagina and the clitoral hood. A professional piercer will have to tell you
which is best for your vagina.
Alteredbody.com, as well as several genitally-decorated people nice enough to share their piercing stories, say the clitoral hood piercing is the best for heightened sexual pleasure. Hood piercings heal in four to six weeks and if cleaned and done properly, have low risk of infection.
For guys thinking to brave the piercing pain for some extra pleasure, take heart. Altered-body.com, as well as a genitally-pierced piercer, says that a genital piercing for guys isn't that painful at all, although the piercings do have a tendency to bleed and bruise.
But, unless you are piercing your, uh, berries — for instance with a scrotal piercing — instead of the twig itself, like the through-the-penis-head Ampallang piercing — punctured genitalia are fairly easy to heal with some patience and care.
So, if you're looking to decorate your penis or vagina and are ready to endure a little pain and discomfort, plus be committed to caring for your genitals even more than you do now, see the piercer of your choice.
Just don't — whatever you do — pierce yourself.

Controversial sex class uses inappropriate classroom methods
Academic eyebrows were undoubtedly raised when an X-rated sex class was called into question recently at the University of California at Berkeley.
According to the student newspaper, The Daily Californian, the class was questioned by school administrators after learning students were writing about their sexual fantasies, visiting strip clubs and watching live sex shows. An instructor of the course even had a sex party featuring a game where students photographed their genitals and tried to match them to the appropriate student.
This sexuality class is part of the university's "DE-Cal Curriculum." DE-Cal, short for Democratic Education at Cal, allows students to propose and teach classes for reduced course credit.
And while the University of Kansas does not have student-designed and -taught sex education courses, it does have human sexuality classes.
KU sexuality classes, void of live sex experiments and field trips, should not be viewed as conservative models of the UC Berkeley course; rather, they define what is necessary for students to learn to have a healthy understanding of sexuality and human relationships.
COMMENTARY
As a member of one of the human sexuality courses, Sociology of Sexuality, I was surprised at the stark contrast between this sexuality course and the one at UC Berkeley.
Nowhere on my syllabus did I find live sex shows or classroom orgies, and our instructor even
James Manning jmanning@kansan.com
gave us a disclaimer that we were not studying sex, but representations of sex.
I also dropped by the infamous Human Sexuality in Everyday Life course taught by Dennis Dailey. While it was a little more risqué than the sociology course, it still clearly qualified as meaningful education.
Some items are appropriate for classroom and laboratory settings.
Others clearly are not.
This is where the UC Berkeley course falls short. UC Berkeley tried to teach a course on sex, not sexuality.
A person's sexuality shapes who he or she is and what he or she enjoys in the world of sex. It is something that, when properly explored in an academic setting, will enhance a relationship or understanding of others' relationships.
So,keep an open mind and think about enrolling in a human sexuality class.
You may be surprised at how much you can learn about yourself and the one you love.
And don't worry about being called upon to give a live demonstration. KU lets you save the sex for the bedroom — or wherever you like to have it.
Energy drink finds popularity in Lawrence
By Becky McClelland Jayplay writer
Mixing Red Bull, an Austrian energy drink, with vodka makes sophomore John Kim from New Castle, Australia, think he gets drunk faster.
"You sort of feel a bit more energized, it hypes you up a bit," he said.
Red Bull and other energy drinks are popular in Australia and are used without alcohol to get people through exams, he said.
ferently when I drink it."
Red Bull is also popular in Lawrence, with people mixing the energy drink with alcohol for an extra kick.
"I just drink it because it tastes good," said Jarred Rybicki, Overland Park sophomore, who usually drinks it with vodka. "I don't think I get drunk any dif-
Red Bull claims to give people energy through its combination of taurine, an amino acid, and caffeine.
Jeremy Radina, general manager of Abe & Jake's Landing, 8 E Sixth St., said the drink had been popular there, due in part to the large display that Red Bull gave them to set up on the bar.
Though Red Bull seems popular in Lawrence and the United States, in Sweden there have been three deaths in which authorities have investigated possible connections to the energy drink. Emmy Cortes, director of communications for Red Bull in North America, disputed the accusations.
"No evidence links Red Bull to
the incidents in Sweden. It's absolutely safe," Cortes said. "Numerous toxicological studies have said that it is 100 percent safe."
The problem is not the energy drink,but the alcohol itself,she said.
"We don't promote it with alcohol, but most people know about it." Radina said. "We also have a lot order it without alcohol."
Abe & Jake's doesn't issue any warnings about the drink, and Radina has never seen any negative effects. He said most people knew about any possible dangers, which he compared to mixing rum and Coca-Cola.
Red Bull was never marketed as a mixer, but consumers started mixing the drink with alcohol soon after it was first
"We don't promote it with alcohol, but most people know about it,"

produced.
The desire to stay up all night and get drunk while doing so may be a motivation to mix the drink with alcohol. Claims of improved alertness also attract designated drivers, students cramming for tests and athletes coming off a big work-out to the energy drink.

Film goes beyond sap to tackle sex, gender stereotype
Bv Peter Black
Jayplay movie reviewer
If you expected 40 Days and 40 Nights to be only an excuse to gush over heart throb Josh Hartnett, then you are in for a surprise. 40 Days is much more than an excuse to gush, it is a retooling of the typical love story. Not only does it use unconventional means to tell a simple romantic comedy, but it also digs deeper to tackle societal issues.
Hartnett plays Matt Sullivan. He is a young dot-com employee struggling with a rough breakup. When he can't fill the void in his heart with nightly sexual romps, he decides to exercise his demons by vowing to give up sex for Lent. However, living a life of celibacy becomes harder than Matt expected when

than Matt expected when he stumbles into a relationship with Erica, played by Shannyn Sossamon.
Somewhere beneath the well-written, low-brow humor, 40 Days finds a way to tackle something often talked about in our society. An attitude exists in our culture that seems to condone men sleeping with multiple partners, while females are looked down upon for doing it.
While many images in popular culture reinforce that double standard, 40 Days takes a much different approach. It instead calls for a change in the way sex is perceived by society.
Matt learns that no matter how many women he sleeps with or how many throw themselves at him, he will never be as fulfilled as he is when he is with Erica. The film reiterates that the double standard should be eliminated and both sexes considered equal.
At face value 40 Days and 40 Nights looks like it is just another romantic comedy waiting to be swept aside with the rest. But underneath the masturbation references, one-liners and fake boneres is a story that reaches uncharted territory.

But finding a Wiccan discussion group, a collection of religious light bulb jokes or an interview between a rabbi and Playboy's Miss November isn't, unless you're looking at www.beliefnet.org.
Beliefnet is a multi-faith information source that uses regular columnists, news stories, features and discussion groups to get people thinking about their beliefs and to help them understand the beliefs of others.
The site has been called "a big deal" by Christian Century Magazine and "stuff we like" by Brills Content.
To see if Beliefnet was worth its hype, four KU students gave their thoughts about the site's more intriguing features.
■ Belief-O-Matic Quiz
"Even if YOU don't know what faith you are, Belief-O-Matic knows." That's the claim made by this multiple choice quiz. Belief-O-Matic analyzes your answers to religious and moral questions and tells you what religion you're most compatible with.
"It said the religion that most closely matched my beliefs is Unitarian Universalism," Kuhn said. "That was followed by Mahavaya Buddhism and Liberal Quaker."
Christina Kuhn, Mulvane junior, said she was a Roman Catholic. However, the Belief-O-Matic disagreed.
Meanwhile, Chris Boyle, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, also a Roman Catholic, was informed he should be Liberal Protestant. He said the quiz didn't offer diverse enough answers.
Oh well. Like the disclaimer says, "Belief-O-Matic assumes no legal liability for the ultimate fate of your soul."
She's Playboy's sexy Miss November, he's a Jewish rabbi. Is this the setup for a wacky neighbors sitcom? No, it's a Beliefnet interview between Rabbi Shmuley Boteach and Playboy's first Jewish centerfold, Lindsey Vuolo.
"I was frustrated by the interview," Boyle said. "The rabbi was extremely combative and was seeking to attack what she believed."
The Rabbi and the Centerfold
Boyle said he would have liked the article better had Boteach engaged Vuolo in mutual discussion.
engaged videos in natural environments "As it is, it was just him trying to prove how she couldn't be right," he said.
Tosha Green, Lane junior, agreed.
kansan.com
"I didn't really like the rabbi much. He was trying to discredit her and he did a really bad job of it."
Religious Light Bulb Jokes
Perhaps in your quest for spiritual understanding you have come up against the age old question, "how many ___ does it take to screw in a light bulb?" Beliefnet tries to answer that with its extensive collection of light bulb jokes, such as: Q.
"How many Catholics does it take to change a light bulb?" A.
"Nun."
Scott McKenzie, Salina junior, thought the jokes were funny. "I really like the light bulb jokes. Its hard to take religious things seriously when your thinking about changing bulbs," he said.

Vinyl survives popular technology
Despite new technology such as mp3s, CD burners and computer programs that can download music, a small segment of the population remains loyal to records.
By Mike Gilligan Kansan staff writer
Scott Eidelman, a graduate student in psychology, has a passion for records. He has more than 3,000 records in his collection.
"I don't collect CDs," he said. "Records are more appealing. The vinyl comes in different colors, the sizes are different, and the sleeves have art that is unique to records."
Another reason Eidelman said he collected records was because the kind of music he liked was only available on vinyl. A large part of his collection is punk rock records from 1976 to 1983.
Perhaps his most valuable record is The Hugh Beaumont Experience, he said. One of the members of the Buthole Surfers is on the record, and no one knows how many copies exist.
Apparently there was a disagreement between the band and the record label. The owner of the label tried to destroy all the albums but some survived.
"Some guy in Germany offered me $1,500 for it last year." Eidelman said.
John Harrison, used vinyl buyer at Love Garden Sounds/Arts Multiplie, 9361/2 Massachusetts St., said some records have become more popular in recent years, particularly if a current band has sampled an older
"Kids seem to be into records that have been used by rap bands for samples." Harrison said.
Benji King, Lawrence resident and recent KU graduate, started collecting records about 10 years ago.
Harrison compared collecting records to other hobbies, like collecting baseball cards.
record.
"I started by trying to get all The Smiths albums on record," he said. "I kept buying more after that."
King said sound quality and the amount of material accessible on record makes records more appealing.
"There's so much more available on record as far as out of print stuff," he said. "Pretty much anything pre 1990 you can get on record."
King, like Eidelman, is the proud owner of a rare record.
He owns the Beatles' Yesterday and Today record with the original cover.
"The cover has the band with lab coats on holding meat and fake baby parts," King said. "The record label thought it was too graphic so they pasted a new cover over the old one."
King said the album was worth about $2,000.
His collection of more than 1,000 records includes all types of music.
"I have everything from Abba to Zappa," King said.

floor of the Pink House. The three of them talked to their friend Peter Berard, Overland Park sophomore, who thought a Web site would be an asset to the local music community. From this meeting they developed Lawrence- rock.com, a site devoted to local music.
"I think we think of it more as a community site," Berard said. "I've always wanted it to be there for other people. Everybody who is a music fan in Lawrence has something to say about something or other—it's just an outlet."
The group then considered sponsoring shows at its house.
"At the same time we were getting ready to put up the site, we were sitting around listening to music like we always do," Berard said. "We thought it would be cool to have bands playing in this room instead of just listening to them on CD."
The first show in October 2001 featured local bands Ghosty, Salt the Earth and Getaway Driver and served as a

lather party for Law enforcement. Elmansour said police showed up at the first show so the group wasn't sure the Pink House would have any shows thereafter, but in less than five months three more shows took place at the house.
John Congleton, Dallas resident and guitar player for The Paper Chase, entertains the crowd at the Pink House.
"We were really not sure about doing a second show, but the second show went so well," Elmansour said. "People got interested in what we were doing, so we decided to go on."
Since the first show, hits on the Lawrencerock.com Web site have increased from 30 to 200 per day.
Horn said that watching local bands perform in his living room spoiled him.
"It brings them down to a human level," he said. "If I'm 30 feet away from a band, I feel really detached now. It's just a whole other experience to be in the same room as the band, but to have them two feet from you where they can even intermingle with the crowd is amazing."
No money from the Pink House shows reaches the organizers' pockets, but the guys do take donations for flier printing fees and "band beer," which they give free to the bands playing.
Best said the shows at the Pink House offered something to all people.
"We're doing it for everyone. If they don't like the music, they'll like the spirit," Best said. "It's just people coming together to hear the music."
promoting local music is the most important goal of both the people at the house and the Web site, Horn said. Organizers refer to shows as events, not parties, do not serve alcohol at shows and typically ask audience members to leave by 12:30 a.m., he said.
"We'd like to be thought of as more of a community group than a party house," he said. "I mean, we're not throwing keeggers here, and I'm not just interested in it for a social activity. The music is what's important."

spoke out against ethnocentricism, the mass media, racism, anti-abortion laws, the death penalty, President George W. Bush, consumerism and oil consumption.
Clarence Henry, an assistant professor of music and dance who also specializes in ethnomusicology, said college was a new place to voice opinions through choice of music outside the confines of high school and parents' homes. Henry said society as a whole was drawn to socially motivated music, citing that rap music began as a voice against poverty and other inner-city issues.
Even the mainstream Grammy Awards, which aired last night, have been affected by the current political climate, Henry said. He pointed out socially conscious artists such as Bob Dylan, U2 and India. Arie had received multiple nominations in the post-Sent 11 music world.
But while the Grammys mostly give nods to commercially successful artists, the college music scene remains rooted in independent music. In an era when alternative music is mainstream and 'indie' denotes style rather than substance, truly independent artists like DiFranco and Radiohead draw a large college following.
Anne Stephens, a Lawrence senior and bass player who attended the DiFranco concert, said she respected the Righteous Babe Records founder for turning down contract offers from major labels in order to not compromise her own values.
DiFranco's left-wing politics are tied to her college following because college students themselves tend to be liberal, said Roberta Schwartz, professor of music and dance, who specializes in musicology.
"While I suppose it's possible that there are super-conservative, right-wing fans of the Grateful Dead, I've never met one." Schwartz said.
Runnels would still be a DIFranco fan if her lyrics were based on a conservative platform, for sheer love of the folk-jazz-funk music itself and DiFranco's "poetic way of saying things," she said. "But the fact that it appeals to what you believe in makes you love it that much more."

Artist explores racism
By Meghan Brune Jayplay writer
新野 貴祥
Roger Shimomura, distinguished professor of art, sits in front of an exhibit about stereotypes on which he is currently working. His art show featuring paintings of an interim camp he was in during WWII is on display in Washington right now.
KIMBERLY THOMPSON/KANSAN
Think back to the "Mr. Wong's Kitchen" advertisements of last year. Mr.Wong, the yellow-skinned, unusually hunched Asian character was a spokesperson for Icebox.com, a Web site with animated shorts. For Roger Shimomura, distinguished professor of art, this phenomenon played an interesting role in his research and paintings.
"Looking at the student responses, I found the opinions of Asian students not born in America tended to say that the character was a harmless joke," Shimomura said. "It was the Asian American students who took offense to the stereotypes this character portrayed."
Shimomura said 70 percent of the people in America of Asian descent were not born in America. This means only a small group grew up with Asian-American stereotypes as a part of their lives.
At age 3, Shimomura and his family were moved from their home in Seattle and interned in Camp Minidoka, Idaho, during World War II. His current exhibition, An American Diary, is based on this experience and the diary entries of his grandmother, Toku Machida. The College Art Association of America awarded this exhibit the Most Distinguished Body of Work
award for 2001. The show is finishing its 4-year run in March at the Bellevue Art Museum in Washington.
Shimomura has taught at the University of Kansas for more than 30 years. He teaches drawing, painting and performance art.
As an artist, he works mainly in acrylic paints, but he also sculpts, writes and directs. As a teacher, his personal research is not a part of his classes and he doubts many of his students know who he is on the side.
'The only way I bring my background into my teaching is to encourage my students to create works from their own stories and cultural experience," Shimomura said.
At this time, Shimomura is working on an exhibition that focuses on the stereotypes of Asian Americans during World War II. His research has developed from old postcards and other images collected from this time period. The paintings combine these images with stories of racism from his own life.

'Othello' actors spend hours rehearsing swordplay scenes
By Mandalee Meisner Jayplay writer
Othello has a bloody finger.
Or, at least the Othello coming to the main stage in the University Theatre production of Shakespeare's famous play.
Kansas City professional actor Walter Coppage, who fleshes out the misunderstood Moor beginning tomorrow, admitted the wound on his right hand was not a result of the many hours of sword-wielding rehearsal he's been doing.
"It's actually from doing dishes," Coppage said, looking down at his blood-stained Band-Aid.

Under the guidance of fight director Marianne Kubik, Coppage and other cast members have been swinging rapists, sabers and daggers — knowing that the seemingly endless repetition will turn into the fluid movement of a perfected battle sequence once showtime starts.

But the seamless spectacle of theatrical combat requires many nights of strenuous group work. For every five seconds of combat during the play, the cast spends one full hour practicing.

Techno CD takes listener to new realm
By Carlos Centeno Jayplay writer
The Brothers are back with their new album, Come With Us. Perhaps in pursuit of a lost talent amidst the crowds of experimental electronica, the Chemical Brothers' new album is varied and exquisite.
The first cut, "Come With Us," is a penetrating big beat mix with violin samples reaching the exploding climax of a powerful kick sequence. Funky breaks are visible in the horizon as the "come with us" vocal sample reverberates in the background.
The next cut, "It Began in Africa," is the single that received enormous acceptance in dance clubs around the world. It has the same big beat sound with the exception of congas and drum solos cutting through the song.
From purple skies to blissful white clouds moving swiftly above us, holy loops and transitions between different guitar peragggios that blend like sugar sprinkles in the mouth introduce "Star Guitar" with the vocals, "You should feel what I feel/ You should take what I take" remind us that it is a song to be shared.
Beth Orton is delectable in "The State We're In," with a laid back, peace irradiating, loving voice within a beautifully arranged collaboration of chillout electronica.
As usual, after the fifth minute, the Chemical Brothers transit into an accelerating dance beat, elevating the listener to a higher rhythmic level and finally setting the pace for the next cut. "Denmark" is a beast from the same breed as "Galaxy Bounce," except this cut is a pure house infection.
Reminiscent of the melody in the Beatles" "Luey In The Sky With Diamonds," "Pioneer Skies" is a scream for hope. If electronic melodies could speak, this one would say: "you're going to make it, don't worry."
One of the best recorded collaborations between a rock star and electronic performers is "The Test" with ex-Verve front-man Richard Ashcroft. It is a global prayer introducing elements of dance, ambient and some sort of slow techno beat.
Come With Us is an invitation, a ticket to the trip of a lifetime. Starting with the basics of electronica, melting into dance, transitioning to pop and morphing into psychodelic-electronica, it is a trip into a fifth dimension, a parallel world where borders are of alien nature and glory is sweet in the arms of the hopeful generation.

'O Brother', Keys nab big awards
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Alicia Keys, whose classically influenced soul debut was one of last year's biggest albums, and the bluegrass soundtrack to O Brother, Where Art Thou? each won five Grammys last night.
The Irish rock band U2, whose inspirational music struck a new chord after Sept. 11, took four awards and denied Keys the chance to set a record for most Grammys ever by a female artist.
Keys' song "Fallin'" won song of the year, and she was named best new artist. She also won three awards in rhythm 'n' blues categories, tying Lauryn Hill's 1999 record of five awards.
"I'd like to dedicate this to just thinking outside the box and not being afraid of who you are no matter what you do," the 21-year-old Keys said after picking up one
of her trophies.
U2's record of the year award for "Walk On" marked the second straight year they won that top category. Last year, it was for "Beautiful Day."
"The songs do change their meaning. Music changes shape to fit the predicament it finds itself," U2's lead singer Bono said.
The O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack won album of the year. The album of country roots music and bluegrass was shunned by country music radio and beat out U2 and Bob Dylan for the top album award.
Host Jon Stewart poked fun at the show's increased security, pretending to set off a metal detector while walking on stage, and poignantly reminded the audience of how the world had changed since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Two large guards stripped him and left the comedian in his boxer shorts.
"Remember when security was tight because Eminem was going to sing with Elton John?" he said.
The folk country act Alison Krauss and Union Station won two awards, for best country performance by a group and best bluegrass album for New Favorite.
Besides best album, O Brother won best compilation disc and garnered Ralph Stanley, who sung "O Death,"best male country vocal, his first Grammy win. It also won the Soggy Bottom Boys the award for best country collaboration with vocals.
Other winners were Eve and Gwen Stefani, who won the inaugural best rap/song collaboration for "Let Me Blow Ya Mind"; Sade, who won best pop vocal album for Lovers Rock; and best-selling rock group Linkin Park, which won best hard rock performance for "Crawling."

Campus masturbator breaks rib, sues University for workman's comp
The University of Kansas received a formal lawsuit this week from the infamous "Campus Masturbator," who in past years has been spotted working outside of sorority's windows.
According to the suit, he was working one night at Chi Omega, 1345 W. Campus Road, iris
KU officials are planning to challenge the case in court because his penis and arms were not injured.
"He hurt his ribs," said Chancellor Hemenway, "It isn't like he can't keep working on our campus."

Bohl discovers that Kansas women's swim team exists
After six successful months as athletics director at the University of Kansas, Al Bohl can now add another item to his long list of accomplishments.
Tuesday morning at 7:34 a.m., Bohl inadvertently discovered that the University had a women's swimming team. Bohl, who claims that he gets most of his information about Kansas athletics from The University Daily Kansan, made the discovery as he read an old memo.
A. R. G.
Bohl
The memo, which was sent from members of the
athletic staff in response to the construction of KU's new athletics center, contained the signatures of several of the athletic staff. One of the signatures was that of Cathy Burgess, women's swimming coach.
"Well I'll be damned," said a slightly disjointed Bohl. "A women's swimming team, now ain't that something."
At press time, Bohl was still unaware of the men's tennis team, women's golf squad, and remained slightly confused as to whether the cross-country team consisted of skiers or runners.
new shuttle bus to carry students from Naismith to Robinson
Plans are in the work for a new shuttle to transport weary students between Naismith Hall and Robinson Center.
The project is slated to begin in May and will cost an estimated $2.7 million per year. The goal of the shuttle is to alleviate the pain and agony involved in transporting Naismith Hall residents to and from Robinson.
Michael Greenberg, Highland Park, Ill., freshman, said the new shuttle would be a great benefit to students.
"That drive to Robinson was putting way too many miles on my Audi," he said.
Brooke Johanson, Edina, Minn., freshman, agreed.
"That walk from Naismith to Robinson is soooo long," she said. "That's valuable time I could be spending at the tanning beds."

State and federal agents stormed Ellsworth Hall yesterday after hearing reports of Anthrax and Poison stashed in a student's closet.
Anthrax. Poison confiscated from closet
Phil Beatitman, a Kansas Bureau of Investigation detective, described the scene as "horrific."
"It ituns out the rumors were true," he said. "We sent in the dangerous materials-handling squad, and they brought out two albums by the metal band Anthrax and a Poison CD. I knew kids were terrible these days, but this is simply sick. In these days of crisis, America's youth needs to be warned of the dangers of Poison and Anthrax."
Poison's pathetic attempts at rock and sappy ballads such as "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" that are known worldwide for their ability to suck. Anthrax began as a government experiment to weed out fools in society by tracking people who bought albums, and deporting them to Europe.
But if KBI reports are true, it appears Anthrax is still floating around. Some Anthrax songs ended up on Napster, which was shut down due to fears that Anthrax would spread. Beatitman said.
"Now it looks like there's two less Anthrax CDs

"In these days of crisis America's youth needs to be warned of the dangers of Poison and Anthrax."
that could fall into our children's hands," he said. "And that Poison shouldn't be handled by anyone. We're think this junk will be mopped soon."
Federal authorities are still working on expelling traces of other music pollution such as Fleetwood Mac, Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park.
John Stammish, public information officer for the FBI's Kansas City bureau, said Limp Bizkit was "almost" under control in the area.
"After capturing Wes Borland, and making it look like he left the group, we can nab the fools who show up for replacement tryouts," Stammish said. "Pure genius strategy, I'd say."

Nintendo grants Tyson license to box
By Greg Zielinski Kansan satire writer
In a surprising move last week, Nintendo granted a license to boxer Mike Tyson, permitting him to fight on the 16-bit Super Nintendo format.
Tyson's only previous license was with the 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System, which he has held since 1987.
The new agreement with Nintendo created speculation that a possible bout with heavyweight champ Lennox Lewis could occur as early as June. Also in the works for Tyson is a possible fight with the diminutive, pixilated challenger "Little Mac," scheduled for later this week on the gaming console of Bill Donaldson. Wichita sophomore.
The statuses of both matches remains uncertain.
Lewis' contract does not approve the 16-bit format as a fight venue, although his camp is expected to approve the change within a week. Tyson's fight with Little Mac is less certain, as the challenger must first defeat a string of opponents including Glass Joe, Piston Honda, King Hippo, Bald Bull and Super Macho Man, each with a uniquely devastating punch attack and each more difficult than the last.
Mike Tyson, top, and challenger Little Mac, with his coach.
Anonymous sources said that Donaldson could possess a code that would
qualify Little Mac immediately for the fight with Tyson, though at press time he said he thought that he would "probably just go out drinking instead."

Donated edible underwear inundates Salvation Army
