University, GTAC agree to postpone negotiations
By Sarah Hill Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas and the Graduate Teaching Assistant Coalition will wait until May for answers on pay increases for graduate teaching assistants.
The groups met yesterday with a federal mediator.
The coalition decreased its requested salary for GTAs and University negotiators said they would increase funds from the University for GTAs. Both groups agreed to take yesterday's new proposals about salary increases for graduate teaching assistants off the table until May because the University's budget for next year remains uncertain. The two sides are
negotiating a three-year contract.
Keg parties are a fixture of college life. But for liquor stores, the cost of selling kegs can be more than they bargained for. Above, keg shells await student partners at Alvin's Wines & Spirits, 905 Iowa.
Neither side released specific dollar amounts that were discussed.
The two groups met for five hours at Carruth O'Leary Hall and actively participated in discussions about salary increases, said Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations.

happened. KU and GTAC met with a federal labor mediator yesterday to discuss pay increases for graduate teaching assistants
Robert Vodicka chair of the GTAC negotiation committee, said he thought each group was committed to increasing G T A s salaries.
What this means: Both groups actively participated and discussed the proposals. However, they could not agree on a solution because next year's budget cuts and tuition increases would affect salaries for all University
Bretz said the groups agreed the University should pay GTAs more.
"We also think that faculty should be paid more, and the staff
Vodicka said that he thought the discussions were productive, and he said he was optimistic about the next session in May.
"We represent 900 people," he said. "There are too many ifs that affect people's lives."
What's next:
The two groups and the mediator will resume discussions in May after the Kansas Legislature and Board of Regents make decisions on KU's budget and tuition increases.

of the University should be paid more," she said.
Vodicka said representatives from the coalition appreciated the University's proposals for a salary increase, but were not comfortable agreeing on final numbers because the plans hinged on next year's uncertain budget and the possibilities of tuition increases.
Kegs can be a hassle
By Melissa Shuman Kansas staff writer
Last year, Keegan Larson spent $2,000 on a keg party.
He and his friends bought 16 kegs for the event and took them to a field south of town. They rented buses and drove party-goers back and forth from campus to the party location.
"We didn't make much money, but we had a lot of fun," said Larson, a Seattle junior.
CHRISTINA NEFF/KANSAN
He said it was not unusual for him and his friends to spend about $200 on a two-keg party, including cups and ice. Larson said they were lucky if they could break even.
"Somebody's got to throw the parties, I just take the responsibility," he said.
Responsibility is something that worries Dan Blomgren, owner of Cork
Often, they don't have a cover charge in order to avoid getting in trouble for having an open saloon.
Where to get a keg in Lawrence
16 gallon keg:  Myers  Alvin's  Dodson's
Boulevard $112.27 $118.79 $118
Budweiser $74.47 $75.59 $75

and Barrel stores at 2000 W.23rd St. and 901 Mississippi St. He stopped selling kegs in 1998 about one year after opening his business.
Bloomgren quit selling kegs when he read an article about a drunk-driving accident in which the liquor store was held responsible.
While such laws don't cause problems for liquor vendors in Kansas, Blomgren said he was convinced that the cost of
Note: Glass House Liquor, 2301 Wakarusa Dr. has kegs of Bud Light, Miller Light and Coors Light for $73 each, plus a deposit for the keg shell.
"A keg goes out of here and you have no control over who drinks out of it," he said.
These deposits help offset the costs of keeping the kegs.
Four stores in Lawrence have kegs on hand. They all require deposits for taps, trash barrels and shells — or the actual keg container.
"I would make about $4 per keg, and that $4 is something I don't need for that amount of responsibility." he said.
selling kegs and the lack of returned equipment were more than would be worthwhile.

State Senate could require keg registration
By Meredith Carr Kansan staff writer
If Kansas State Bill 407 becomes law, it would require liquor stores selling kegs to register their customers' personal information.
The bill passed the Senate last week, but will not become law until a hearing in the House of Representatives. The hearing has not been scheduled, but a decision is expected before the Legislature ends its current session in late spring.
The bill will require registration of kegs by retail beer sellers. It also would require that kegs of four gallons or more be tracked with an identification number. A retailer's license may be suspended for failure to put an identification number on a keg.
Only three liquor stores in Lawrence would be affected by this new bill. Each already requires information before it sells kegs to individuals. This information varies, but basic information such as the individual's name, driver's license number, phone number and address is required.

February Sisters celebrate
By Leah Shaffer Kansan staff writer
A presentation by an activist who inspired the February Sisters to demand that the University of Kansas institute a women's studies program marked the group's 30th anniversary.
"KU has one of the oldest women's studies programs in the world thanks to February Sisters," said Christine Robinson, Lawrence graduate student and coorganizer of the event.
About 200 people attended the presentation last night at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union, which included a speech by Robin Morgan, a founding activist in the women's liberation movement. Two original Sisters, Mary Coral and Christine Smith, were among those attending.
The February Sisters were a group of women at the University of Kansas who in 1972 peacefully occupied the former East Asian studies building near Corbin Hall for 13 hours until their demands were met. Their demands included the creation of a women's studies program and the establishment of a day-care center, which the University has today. The sisters had been inspired by a speech given a week earlier by Morgan, a feminist poet.
"How time flies when you have fun making trouble," said Morgan, joking with the audience.
Morgan, who is the author of The Demon Lover: The Roots of Terrorism, talked about how violence was romanticized by men. She said that men were beginning to understand that this image of manhood was detrimental to their lives.
Shifman told the story of how a father shot his own daughter eight times because he and his son could not cover up the pregnancy that occurred when one of his friends raped her. The girl survived. Her father was never charged, and her brother was only sentenced to seven years in prison.
Both Morgan and Shifman said there was still much work to be done in the women's movement.
The event also included a presentation from Pamela Shifman, co-executive director of Equality Now, a group that specializes in international human rights efforts for women. Shifman discussed the issue of "honor crimes." An honor crime occurs when a woman is murdered often by a male relative — because of an allegation that the woman has done something shameful to her family.
DJ Morris, Grand Junction, Colo., senior, attended the lecture and said that she was interested in women's studies because she wanted to work in a domestic violence shelter. Morris said she used to be in an abusive relationship, and she wanted to council women in a similar situation.
Morris said she agreed with Morgan that crimes like rape were acts of terrorism.

Pins stand silent amid construction. Jaybowl to reopen late this summer
By Adam Pracht Kansan staff writer
The pins stand dark and silent at the end of each lane, waiting for next August when bowling will become available on campus.
The bowling lanes at the Jaybowl are filled with the sounds of construction instead of the crashes of pins.
The Jaybowl in the Kansas Union sits untouched while workers use the lanes for storage. The Jaybowl is expected to re-open in August. Christina Neff/KANSAN
The lanes have been closed since late July 2001 for renovations of the first-floor entertainment area in the Kansas Union.
Michael Fine, recreation coordinator for the KU Memorial Unions, said the improvements to the Jaybowl would be worth the wait.
"It'll be larger. It'll be brighter. It'll be friendlier," he said. "I think that it's going to be a significant upgrade."
Fine said the goal of the project was to make the first floor of the Kansas Union more popular with students.
Among the improvements planned are a food service stand with an outdoor patio, a small stage for concerts and other events from Student Union Activities, and several televisions, including a big screen.
The Union also plans to maintain or improve the pool tables and video games.
Fine said the actual bowling
Bowling alley wants out of gutter
lanes would be improved as well, with a protective coating on the wood and new ball returns.
There haven't been any major changes to the Union's first floor since 1960, and Fine said it was time to improve the area.
Brandon Gillette, Topeka junior, said he had used the Jaybowl often before it closed for renovations. He said inexpensive bowling was an attractive option, no matter the state of the facility, but that renovations would make it more appealing for the rest of the student body.
While construction workers work on the lanes, the KU bowling team is practicing at Royal
Crest Lanes.
Marc D'Errico, Rochester, N.Y., sophomore and member of the team, said though Royal Crest Lanes was helping the team by allowing it to use the lanes free of charge, the Jaybowl was the team's home.
"Nothing that I know of will ever replace the Jaybowl for us," he said, "So that's why we're really looking forward to using it again next year."
Fine said the renovators had finished pouring the floors and were starting to build new walls. The most major work on the bowling lanes is scheduled for
this summer, but Fine said the construction team would do everything it could to ensure the renovations were done on time.
Because planners used student input in the design of the first floor, Fine said the Jaybowl should be what students want.
"We're really excited about the opportunities that are going to be there," he said. "We're optimistic that it's going to be someplace that students are going to really enjoy."

Shakespeare's 'Othello' on stage tonight
deception
Kansan staff writer
A love triangle comes to a violent, bloody end tonight on the stage at Crafton-Prever Theater in Murphy Hall.
Othello deals with adult issues and has some violent scenes
The University Theatre will open William Shakespeare's Othello at 7:30 tonight. The play is about Othello, an African, who marries Desdemona, a white woman. Trouble begins when he thinks she cheats on him with a friend.
The play features special guest star, Walter Coppage, a professional actor from the Kansas City area, in the lead role. Coppage was a recipient of the LeWan Alexander Spiritship Fund, which allows professional actors to participate in plays at the University of Kansas.
Coppage said he had been acting for 10 years. This will be his first time playing Othello. He said he was offered the part in college, but he was not familiar with the play, and he was apprehensive because of the racial aspect of the play.
"It was a terrible misconception." Coppage said. "But after I read the play, I started using it for some auditions and I knew somehow, some way I would end up doing it."
Coppage said working on a college production with young actors was a pleasant change from the professional world.
"Going from job to job for six to eight weeks, and doing the job to get the check, it's easy to become jaded," he said. "It's refreshing to work with students who are doing this for the play, to preform and the love of theater."
Lisa Donnelly, Lawrence senior, will play the part of Desdemona, the wife of Othello. She said working with a professional like Coppage was a great learning experience.
The University Theatre will preform *Othello* at 7:30 tonight and tomorrow and at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday. The play will also be performed at 7:30 p.m. March 7 to 9. The cost is $10 for students, and $16 for the public on Friday and Saturday and $14 for the public on Thursday and Sunday.
"He has been open to us questioning him about the professional world, which can be a very harsh world." Donnelly said.

The Marriage Equality Web site also defines marriage "as a relationship of emotional and financial interdependence between two people who
Whether the couple is same-sex or heterosexual, entering into the institution of marriage is a basic human right, as are all of the benefits that come along with it. Not being in a marriage recognized by law, same-sex couples face challenges in visiting their partners in hospitals, filing for taxes, getting insurance and starting and raising families. These problems strip away the simple dreams of getting married and having a family, essential things that most people want and know they are entitled to.
There should not exist an institution, governmental or religious, that denies a person the opportunity to love whom they choose. That is the one thing that people opposing same-sex benefits do not understand.
A same-sex marriage is not indecent; it is not an abomination against God. It does not have to be about procreation, although many same-sex couples want to have and raise children.
Behavioral pediatrics expert Ellen Perrin said in the Lawrence Journal-World that "research shows children of homosexual couples develop just as normally as kids in straight families." Parents who love their kids, teach them life lessons, and nurture them to fulfill their potential are the right kind of parents. The American Academy of Pediatrics is taking a step in the right direction by calling for state laws that allow homosexuals the
right to adopt their partners' children. Although a few states already approved co-parent adoption for homosexuals, in most cases, only one partner can have legal custody of the children. If that parent dies, the partner, acting as a parent for years does not have the same rights as a parent and does not obtain custody or even visitation of the child. Families are broken up simply because same-sex benefits are not already set into place. Lack of
same-sex benefits destroys sound family structures.
There's no reason why same-sex benefits should not be implemented in all legal and state institutions. Not allowing same-sex couples the benefits that heterosexual couples receive is blatant and outspoken discrimination. It's just like not letting someone drink out of the same water fountain as you because of the color of his or her skin. It's plain nonsense, and there is no reason for it to continue.
Ask yourself what you would do if you were told that you couldn't marry the person you wanted to spend the rest of your
Marriage, defined as the legal union between man and woman, has remained the most stable infrastructure in society for thousands of years.

Only a man and a woman can have a baby, and marriage is the institution to provide optimal, stable support of that child.

couples. Yet most homosexuals won't go this far. The current laws concerning marriage have sustained civilizations since the beginning, and should be upheld. Homosexual couples do not meet the criteria for marriage, and new laws would further deteriorate the sexual ethic of civilization.
The proposition to legitimate homosexual marriages has no basis in historical tradition, yet is becoming accepted as a social norm. Because of our scientific enlightenment, the gay community claims sexually equal, just like heterosexuals, because they can't change their homosexual nature.
Because homosexuality seems to be an abnormal predisposition, the marriage laws should not make exceptions in the name of equality. Many homosexuals changed their behavior, and because of this genetic determination is not a fair nor sufficient reason to redefine marriage.
Acknowledging same-sex marriages would be like acknowledging atheists as a church, though their fundamental nature is not religious. This is a logical inconsistency, yet modern liberalism suggests it is the proper and fair thing to do.

EDITORIAL
Senate shouldn't raise our fees with looming tuition increases
Senate passed a bill Wednesday night calling for a $7.50 increase in student fees. It might not seem like a big deal compared to the impending tuition increases, which many senators protested, but in reality, the fee increase is only the latest in a dangerous cycle of ever-increasing fees, and is also hypocritical of Senate.
Students will probably face increases next fall, not only in tuition but in student fees as well, and Student Senate is playing a major role in both situations.
Paying $7.50 more a semester might not appear to be a bank-breaking amount, but this increase is indicative of a consistent increase in student fees, especially within the past five years. KU students enrolled in six or more hours currently pay $275.50 per semester in student fees, $65 more than they did in 1997.
Justin Mills, student body president, said the increase was necessary for Senate to keep up with the current level of services it provided.
"A tuition increase is a lot more money," Mills said. "$7.50 a semester doesn't really compare to $2,000."
motives were unquestionable. They want to improve the quality and quantity of student services and programs, including improvements for KU Recycling and additional legal assistance. But now is not the best time to do so.
Senate voted to increase fees in four areas this time: the Student Senate activity fee, the Student Union fee and building fee, the Campus Environmental Improvement fee and the Legal Services for Students fee.
Students don't have unlimited financial resources and yet they are held responsible with these gradual increases.
During a heated tuition battle, Senate is supporting one increase in student expenses while decrying another. Though the tuition increase will have a greater immediate effect on students, the fee increase is still significant, especially in light of this potentially massive tuition increase.
Senate needs to carefully consider the message it's sending. True, it is only a $7.50 increase in student fees, but Senate shouldn't continually support one type of increase in student expenses while enthusiastically protesting against another.
Senators provided substantial reasons for the increases, and their
The timing of this proposal even makes the Senate seem slightly hypocritical.
Senate needs to look at other resources and means of providing these important services and programs. Students shouldn't always have to foot the bill.

Law Review features global viewpoints
By Mike Gilligan Kansan staff writer
John Head compared globalization to throwing an egg at a window.
"The metaphor suggests that an immovable object, the world, is being confronted by an unstoppable force, globalization," he said.
Head, professor of law, specializes in international law and was the opening speaker at the 2002 Kansas Law Review Symposium yesterday in Green Hall.
He and other speakers at the symposium expressed their viewpoints about globalization and its effect. The theme of the symposium, which more than 70 people attended, was globalization and sovereignty.
Head defined globalization as the process by which multilateral institutions, especially those dealing with economic activity, have grown in number and authority during the past 60 years. These institutions seemingly have grown at the expense of local and national companies and rules.
He focused on economic globalization and pointed to the drawbacks of organizations being closely tied to globalization such as the World Trade Organization and the World Bank.
"It is undisputable that free trade as it's practiced hurts some people directly," Head said. "People lose jobs because of it and they deserve a better shake."
He said the government should provide for training and searching for new jobs for people who were affected by globalization.
Head said rich countries should do their part to help poorer nations.
"There should be a dramatic increase in the commitment of resources by rich countries to the economic development of poor countries," he said.
The United States contributes a much lower percentage of gross national product, or GNP, to world economic aid than many other developed countries. Head said.
Lori Wallach, director of the Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch, also spoke at the symposium.
Wallach said globalization was the defining phenomenon of our time.
"All of us need to think about these issues," she said. "The people who are going to live with the results of the decision should be the ones making the decision."
Wallach, who the Wall Street Journal describes as "Ralph Nader with a sense of humor," said she was not against trade rules.
tions like General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade," she said. "It's what has gotten attached to these institutions that we have a problem with."
"We need trade rules and institu
Wallach said the WTO was the source of many international problems.
She cited a specific incident involving hormones in beef.
"The European Union faces sanctions by the WTO because they wouldn't use hormones in their beef," Wallach said. "They didn't want to be guinea pigs, so they are being punished."
Wallach said her group believed in democracy and diversity.
"You need different people with different values to make decisions," she said. "That way more people are represented."
Another speaker, Herbert Morais, chair of the International Legislative Reform Group and former lead legal counsel for the World Bank, pointed out some of the positives of globalization.
"It is a key for stopping economic crises," he said. "The Asian financial crisis of 1999 sparked immediate reaction from foreign countries wanting to help."
Morais also pointed out how globalization helped ensure the integrity of corporate and financial institutions.
"It is indisputable that free trade as it's practiced hurts some people directly."
John Head professor of law
"International standards will help eliminate corruption," he said. "Enron is a perfect example of what can happen."
Morais now works on containing money-laudering and terrorist funds.
James Rosenthal, Coffeyville law student, attended the symposium to hear Lori Wallach. He said he had read a lot of her books and wanted to learn more about the issues.
"It's good to be informed about what's going on," he said. "People need to check corporations and governments and see what they are doing."
The Kansas Law Review and the School of Law sponsored the symposium.

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 Kansan features a Question of the Week in which we ask members of various religions a particular moral or ethical question. We hope the answers will illuminate the differences and sometimes surprising similarities between the beliefs of different people.

Joshua Talley
A. Mike Lee, Lawrence junior and liberal Christian.
"in order to figure out what God wants one to do they must decide where their great gladness meets the world's deep sadness. One must take their interests and strengths, which I see as God-given but developed and expressed through a joint effort between the two, and use those in order to help the world in the situations which come before us.
"God lets us know what he wants us to do by the various people and situations which he sets before us in any given day. One can choose to ignore the 'coincidences' of time and place and continue about their life without making a change. In order to fully discern what God wants us to do one must be really conscious of the people
and activities around them. It is through them He shows us what paths we need to take. Then, once we have opened our eyes to our surroundings, we can apply or choose not to apply the skills God gave us to make a positive difference."
A. Joshua Talley, Topeka senior
and conservative Christian.
"In today's world where everything is so busy, where schedules are packed with a mind-spinning variety of things to do, it is easy to get confused. Fortunately, the God that made the universe and the seemingly insignificant planet we live on knows what's going on and is in control. Knowing that we will all be perpetually busy, and that our minds would be filled with plenty of stuff, God has made His will for our lives quite clear.
"Where does one find this information? It's easy: the Bible. The purpose of every Christian is an ever-present theme throughout the New Testament. Think of it this way. How do you know what your professor wants you to do? You go to class, follow the syllabus and ask questions. By doing those things, you learn to do homework, take quizzes and tests to further your knowledge and understanding of the material. It's the same thing with God. Go to church, read your Bible, pray and you will easily find out what God wants of you."

Recycling center moves operations to new location
The KU Recycling program has moved to new offices on the third floor of the Varsity House, 1043 Indiana St.
By Leah Shaffer Kansan staff writer
A large Victorian house at 1043 Indiana Street has opened its doors to environmental stewardship.
The building, known as Varsity House, is owned by the University of Kansas and now is the new home for the expanding KU recycling program. The program handles the collecting of recyclable material from campus such as newspapers plastic bottles and cans.
ine program was moved to the Varsity House because it needed for more employees and more parking space for the trucks that gather the material.
Lindy Eakin, associate provost, said the program now had its own department, the Department of Environmental Stewardship. Eakin said the University started the program in 1996 in Burt Hall as part of the Department of Environment, Health and Safety. That department monitors radiation safety and plans for the handling of other hazardous materials on campus.
"The program has outgrown being a component of environment, health and safety." Eakin said.
Originally, the recycling program had only one employee, Victoria Silva, who is now the program's resource conservation manager. However, since that time, the program has grown. Now 10 part-time students and one full-time program assistant work under Silva.
Silva said the office in Burt Hall was too small for all the recycling technicians and before more recycling centers on campus could be added, more space would be needed. The program has completed its second week at Varsity House. The added space has given Silva the option of hiring more people and room to park the two trucks that the program uses.
"This place is most suitable because of the parking issue," she said.
Lindsey Hodel, St. Louis junior and recycling technician, said the old office was too small for all the technicians, and the old location was too far from where campus recycling centers were located. Hodel said the new location was a marked improvement.
"I like it a lot more. Now we have our own office where we can meet." Hodel said.
Faith Forum studies liberal Bible interpretation
By Maggie Koerth Kansan staff writer
Five students gathered in a candlelit room Wednesday night. They had come together for a Bible study. But to them a Bible study doesn't just mean studying the book. It also means studying yourself, the world around you and how all three interconnect.
The group, Faith Forum: A Liberal Take on Christianity, is the brainchild of Rev. Thad Holcombe of Ecumenical Christian Ministries.
Holcombe said the group had been formed last semester in response to student requests. He said about 10 students usually attended the meetings each week.
Contact Shaffer at Ishaffer@kansan.com. This story was edited by Andy Gassaway.
"A lot of students had said they wanted a place where they could talk freely about their religious questions and beliefs," he said.
Holcombe said Faith Forum tried to provide that environment by looking at Christianity through the liberal tradition.
"Conservative Christians see the Bible as a true, literal document," she
He said liberal Christianity differed from conservative Christianity for several reasons, but one stood out to him.
"Conservative Christianity has a tendency to focus exclusively on a person's individual salvation," he said. "The liberal understanding is that salvation is important, but we must also try to figure out how our salvation affects other people, our environment and our world."
She said she thought the biggest difference between liberal and conservative Christianity was how each tradition viewed the Bible.
Alex Fraser, Lawrence graduate student, attends the Faith Forum. She said she was raised in a conservative Christian family, but started asking questions about her beliefs when she was in junior high.
David Green, Salina senior and president of Intervarsity Christian Fel-
Fraser said she came to Faith Forum because she was able to discuss her beliefs with other people who were concerned about similar things.
said. "While I believe the Bible is true, I also realize it was written in a historical context and contains a lot of metaphor and storytelling. For instance, as a biologist, I believe in evolution."
Tim Miller, chairman of religious studies, agreed that the biggest difference between liberal and conservative Christianity was Biblical interpretation.
"For a lot of people there's not a great attraction to conservative religion and yet they don't want to give up the spiritual dimensions of their lives," he said. "A more liberal approach is something that fits with the modern world and how they live."
He said many liberal Christians thought conservative Christianity was stifling and inhibited rational thought and inquiry.
He said he thought the Faith Forum could be very useful to some people.
"People don't choose their religion based on rational thought, they choose it based on what is comfortable," he said. "I think it's more about people wanting to hold on to aspects of their life that maybe they shouldn't."
Holcombe said members of Faith Forum were not interested in criticizing other people's religious beliefs. He said he didn't like the labels of liberal and conservative.
"When you label people they end up trying to live their lives as a label and not as people of faith," he said.
lowship, a campus Christian group, said he didn't think rational thought was really the issue.
Faith Forum meets every Wednesday night from 8:50 to 9:30 in Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave. Meetings are open to all students.

Lee Hornbrook, project director of 4Kids.org (left) and Amy Schimmel, Lawrence freshman and columnist for the Web site, sit in their JRP office where all of their work is conducted. Since age 14, Amy has been working on the site, which was created to provide safe links on the web for children.
By Adam Pracht Kansan staff writer
When Amy Schimmel was in sixth grade at Deerfield Elementary School, people with questions about computers got a standard response: "Go ask Amy."
Today Schimmel, Lawrence freshman, still answers kids' questions about computers and the Internet in a weekly column called "Ask Amy." Schimmel's column is part of www.4kids.org, a weekly feature created at the University of Kansas and published in 80 newspapers worldwide on the Internet.
The feature, which is created by the University and Lawrencea high school students, offers safe Web sites for children, discussion forums and trivia quizzes. Schimmel works as the assistant production manager for the publication.
She said the feature tried to make education fun for children.
"There will forever be a need for knowledge," Schimmel said. "There will forever be a need for something that's going to attract the attention of children and get them excited about learning."
Jerry Chaffin, Frank Carey and Paul Tangen created kids.org at the University in 1994. The project was financed by a federal grant in 1995 to provide interesting and educational sites for children on the Internet. A year later, newspapers began to run the feature.
Chaffin is a professor of education, Carey is director of tech-
notogy in education and Tangen was a KU administrator.
The three heard about Schimmel's reputation as a technology whiz and decided to name the column after her, even though Carey wrote the piece. But Schimmel didn't know about the piece until 1998 when the three offered her a position on the staff.
At the time, Schimmel was the
youngest person ever hired by the University. The Lawrence resident was 14 years old.
After working for 4kids.org for two years, Schimmel wrote for the column bearing her name for the first time.
She said at first she was nervous about writing the "Ask Amy" column, but she has gradually gained confidence in her work for 4kids.org.
Lee Hornbrook, project director of 4kids.org, said he tried to get Schimmel more involved in the production of the feature.
"It's now become that I can't do this job without Amy," he said. "She's just an incredible presence at 4kids."
Hornbrook said kids.org was unique because it was created by students who were at an age level close to their audience.
"I think it's a point of pride for KU students to know this one-of-a-kind newspaper feature is housed here at KU and produced by their own," he said.

Vote clears way for more education spending
TOPEKA — Senators yesterday approved an increase in education spending, despite concerns that the state lacks the $12 million to pay for it.
Gov. Bill Graves proposed the increase in January and tied it to his plan for $228 million in tax increases. The Senate Education
The vote was 31-7. The proposed $20 per-pupil increase in state aid for public schools went to the House.
The Associated Press
Committee endorsed the bill without specifying a source for the extra money.
During a debate on the bill Wednesday, the Senate rejected a motion to return the bill to committee until the state's revenue forecast is updated March 8.
The most recent forecast indicated a $426 million gap between expected revenue and required spending in the fiscal year that starts July 1. Many expect the gap to approach $600 million with the new forecast.
Some senators said passing the funding bill would commit the state to something it could not pay for.
"This would send a false expectation to our school districts that we can find that money in the budget," said Sen. Steve Morris, R-Hugoton, chairman of the Wavs and Means Committee.
One supporter, Sen. Christine Downey, said the measure gave the Senate a chance to make a statement about education as a priority.
"Supporting this bill would
show some of us aren't afraid to step up to the plate and that we are willing to go out and find the funding sources," said Downey, D-Newton.
But Sen. Tim Huelskamp called the bill irresponsible.
"Thank goodness we can't print our own money in Kansas, because it would be happening on the Senate floor," said Huelskamp, R-Fowler. "You can't spend money we don't have. It is very irresponsible and very misleading."
KEGS
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
manager at Alvin's, 905 Iowa,
said selling kegs required a lot of
freezer space and equipment.
Alvin Schmitberger, owner of Alvin's, said the store had at least $12,500 tied up in inventory costs and electric bills when it carried 100 kegs.
Alvin's requires a $30 deposit for keg shells and $40 for a tap. Purchasers may keep the tap or keg shell until they finish their beer, but the store keeps the deposit.
Mindie Dodson, owner of Dodson's liquor, 846 Illinois St., said she charged a $60 cash-only deposit for barrel, tap and keg shell and also allowed customers to keep the shell until they were ready to trade it in for their deposits.
Chad Philhour, an employee at Myer's Retail Liquor, 902 W. 23rd St., recommends that customers plan ahead and secure a key early.
"You never know if the beer you want will be available if it's going to be a busy weekend," he said.
Myers requires an equipment deposit of $35 for a tap, $35 for a barrel, and $15 for a keg shell.
It requires more than money, though, to rent a keg.
Despite the paperwork, cost of deposit and responsibility of purchasing a keg, many students such as Keegan Larson still throw keeg parties
"I feel that we just need to get people to come out and enjoy the finer side of college life," he said.
The state of Kansas charges an enforcement tax of 8 percent for keg sales instead of sales tax. Some forms must be filled out at the time of purchase with the buyer's name, address and phone number.

REGISTRATION
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Sen. Jim Barnett, R-Emporia, is the sponsor of the bill, and said a group of parents came to him with concerns.
"The group of parents asked for my help by coming up with an ordinance that would lower the number of underage drinkers in Emporia," Barnett said.
The old bill was changed so the retailer became less liable if someone of legal age purchased a keg and then furnished it to a minor illegally.
Some owners of local liquor stores said they thought the bill was a good idea.
"I don't think this new bill will affect the keg sales because there are a lot of responsible beer drinkers in this town," said Alvin Schmitberger, owner of Alvin's Wine and Liquors at 905 Iowa.
Schmitberger said he was unsure about the bill's effectiveness.
"I'm all for the state to stop teenage drinking, but this won't stop some people from buying
the 30 packs instead," he said.
Mindie Dodson, owner of Dodson's Liquor Store at 846 Illinois, agrees with Schmitberger, but said she thought other measures should be taken to prevent underage drinking.
"I understand what the state is trying to do, but I think a better use of money would be a tool for retail liquor stores to use for spotting fake I.D.s," she said.
Legislators haven't considered adding this to the bill, but are looking at other measures.
Brian Burke, Leawood senior and manager of Myers Liquor Store, 902 W. 23rd St., said he thought liquor stores were keen to the use of fake IDs.
"I think we are all trained on what to look for in fake IDs, but this bill will scare those using them away, and turn them onto buying cases instead," Burke said.

Softball team wants new beginning on road
By Ali Brox
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas softball team met with a sports psychologist on Tuesday to discuss the way the team has been playing.
"We had a nice little meeting, talking about how do we improve our play and get to the next level," said coach Tracy Bunge.
She said the team spent about 45 minutes in the locker room with the psychologist.
The team is on a two-game
losing streak, and has a 4-6 record heading into the weekend. Four of the Jayhawks' six losses have come against ranked opponents.
Senior catcher Katie Campbell said she thought the time off last weekend and the discussion the team had with Mark Thompson, the psychologist, would help Kansas this weekend.
"We're getting progressively better this week," Campbell said about the team's practices. "Mark Thompson, he had a lot
of good stuff to say about going out there and playing for no regrets and with no fear."
The opponents at this weekend's Sunshine Classic in Tallahassee, Fla., won't make playing without fear easy. The Jayhawks play No. 18 Florida State at 2 p.m. today before facing No. 22 Mississippi State at 3 p.m. tomorrow. The Jayhawks play at 5 p.m. tomorrow against Texas.
"It's going to be a nice test for us because it's kind of a nice mix of teams," Bunge said. "On the
Florida State was picked to win the Atlantic Coast Conference in the preseason poll. The team has a 13-6 record but has lost to Texas Tech twice this season.
other hand, there's not an easy game, there's not an easy team that's at this tournament."
Mississippi State enters the Sunshine Classic with a 10-5 record. The Bulldogs also played at the Fiesta Bowl Classic and had a 4-0 record for that weekend.
Texas, which is 13-6, has one
win against a ranked opponent this season, No. 17 Southwest Texas State. The meeting with Kansas will be the first of at least three games between Texas and the Jayhawks. The Longhorns travel to Lawrence on March 30 for a doubleheader.

in Columbia, but a win against
no. 1 Kansas would put to rest
any talk of the Tigers not making
the NCAA Tournament.
More than that, a win against
the Jayhawks would put a blemish on Kansas' Big 12 record.
No Big 12 school has ever finished a conference season undefeated, but the Tigers were 14-0 in 1994, three years before the Big 12's inception.
Kansas walloped Missouri 105-7 earlier this season in Lawrence, and after that game Roy Williams said he expected the Tigers to play much differently in Columbia. He hasn't changed his mind.
"They'll play very well," Williams said. "What we have to do is we have to match their 'want to.' You've heard me say that before. We need to play with poise, the crowd will be going crazy. It'll be a big day for them, and I enjoy spoiling some
Missouri vs Kansas
When Kansas is ranked in the top five and play Missouri in Columbia, Mo., the Tigers usually prevail.
2001 Missouri 75, No.3 Kansas 66
1998 Missouri 74, No.3 Kansas 73
1997 Missouri 96, No.1 Kansas 94 (2 OT)

people's big days, and hopefully that's what we'll do."
Kansas senior guard Jeff Boschee and Missouri guard Clarence Gilbert, the Tigers' only senior, are in a tight head-to-head battle to become the Big 12's all-time leader in three-pointers made. Boschee leads Gilbert 313 to 307, and the nationally televised match-up at 1 p.m. Sunday has all the makings of a soon-to-be-on ESPN Classic contest.
Miles broke Jacque Vaughn's freshman assist record in Wednesday's game against Kansas State. Miles, who has started every game this season at point guard with the exception of Senior Night, has 186 assists to Vaughn's 181, which he totaled in 1994.
Four Jayhawks made the academic All-Big 12 team. Brett Ballard, secondary education; Jeff Carey, master's in business administration and Todd Kappelmann, business administration and accounting, were named to the first team, which has a GPA requirement of 3.2 or higher. Nick Collison, communications studies, is a member of the second team, which requires a GPA above 3.0.
Notes:
"He really has had a heck of a year for us." Williams said.

The Antlers was formed in 1976 and have since become associated with Missouri basketball.
ANTLERS
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10A
The group's name is based on a Saturday Night Live sketch in which Lily Tomlin does a stripetease while holding her hands up in an Antler formation. A Tiger announcer noticed that the Missouri student body was performing a similar dance at a game and called it the "antler dance." The name stuck.
Some of the Antlers' antics at games since the group's inception have led to controversy.
"We're just like any other group," Glennon said. "We have a uniform and hold meetings."
During the 1994-95 season, the Antlers had their seats taken away after they incited a former Oklahoma player to charge toward them. The Antlers held up a sign during an Arkansas game that read "Corey Beck has syphilis," using the acronym CBS.
The Antlers also chased Arkansas coach Nolan Richardson with a pig's head on a stick. Richardson claimed blood from the head got on his suit, ruining it. In another incident, after former Oklahoma coach Billy Tubbs said Tiger fans made him sick, a member of the Antlers allegedly got revenge by vomiting on the coach.
More recently, Antler members put cow testicles on a cutout of the Texas mascot and used their cars to block the Iowa State team bus en route to the Hearnes Center, keeping the team from getting to the arena on time.
"I'm sure people who bring their 4-year-old kid to the game are going to look at us and tell their kid 'don't be like them,'" said Nick "Dr. Priatism" Rees, the group's vice president. "We don't cross lines in our minds. There are a lot of things that get said that aren't true about us."
Being able to taunt people is a key to becoming a member of the Antlers.
"You have to go through an
Rees said the purpose behind the group was to make the Hearnes Center a difficult place to play. They want to distract opposing players.
interview process." Hays said. "They see how crazy you are and have you yell at random people and stuff. It's about a two-month process to get in."
"If your sitting there yelling something and a player looks right at you with a look of 'Sweet Caroline how did this man know that,' then we know we've gotten into their head," he said.
Glennon said the Antlers took the Kansas game in particular very seriously.
"Obviously, Kansas is our ultimate hatred, but we hate all 11 Big 12 schools." Glennon said. "It's a hatred with respect."
"We cried when we lost to Kansas this year together," he said.
Rees said the group watched Missouri's away games together.

TRACK
The top four scoring teams at the meet and the two relay teams with the fastest times this season got into the fast heat.
The Jayhawks were in fifth place at the time, and had the fourth-best relay time of the year. They won the slow heat and finished fourth overall, while the three teams ahead of them qualified for the NCAA meet.
"The teams that beat us in the fast heat, if we would have been with them, we would have got them," Hann said.
Redwine said he expected improved performances this weekend, not only as a springboard to the NCAA meet, but to the outdoor season as well.
"We're not asking them to do anything they're not capable of doing, so we're definitely excited about their progression," he said.

BASEBALL
Kansas game postponed because of possible snow
With cold weather and a chance for snow in the forecast, the Kansas baseball team's weekend series against Northwestern has been postponed.
The Jayhawks (8-0) will not reschedule a makeup series with the Wildcats.
Kansas returns to action on Tuesday, March 5 when the team travels to Tulsa, Okla., to take on Oral Roberts. Kansas' next home game is scheduled for March 8, when the team starts Big 12 Conference play against Texas A&M.

TENNIS
Women look for first win during Utah trip
The Kansas tennis team will try to pick up its first road win when it travels to Utah, where it will face Brigham Young tomorrow and Utah on Sunday.
The Jayhawks, 3-0 at home and 0-2 on the road, are coming off a win against Southwest Missouri State last Saturday. The team won all three doubles matches with a lineup that featured sophomore Emily Haylock and freshman Paige Brown in the No.1 doubles slot.
Saturday's opponent, Brigham Young (2-6), won the Mountain West Conference championship last year. The Jayhawks will then travel to Salt Lake City to take on Utah. The Utes have four letterwinners returning, along with four recruits who have helped them to a 5-2 record.

bly watering by the time he finished his speech. This is the most relaxed Kansas team since Scot Pollard was around, and Harrison has a lot to do with that. His minutes have been few — 75 minutes in two years, including a career-high seven last night — but he has loved every one of them and may see a few more during the next few weeks if all goes according to plan.
Ballard's plan has been perfect and he has redefined the meaning of walk-on. He's the tough kid you've gotta love; the guy with the heart to conquer a giant.
He was the backup point guard a year ago and nearly came to blows with Jamaal Tinsley at Iowa State last year as he refused to back down from the All-American point guard. This year he went from walk-on to go-to player when he hit a clutch three-pointer in the Texas overtime thriller and tied last Sunday's game at Nebraska with a layup in the final minute that helped preserve the undefeated conference season and kept the ride going.
"We've got one trophy." Ballard said, referring to the Big 12 Conference title. "But the way I see it is we've still got 10 more wins left this season."
ride will be done and, God willing, the four will be hoisting a national championship trophy. Beyond that, they'll return to being normal students. For the red team there will be no NBA career, no overseas basketball opportunities and no sneaker deals. None of that will matter either.
They have played for the No. 1- ranked team in the nation and gone undefeated in the Big 12 Conference. Now they have a good chance of going to the Final Four.
Almost every Kansas kid dreams of playing basketball for the Kansas Jayhawks. These guys lived it.

International singer finds success
The Associated Press
PRAGUE, Czech Republic — She's a big personality from a country where Gypsies are persona non grata.
Vera Bila belts out her trademark fusion of Gypsy music laced with Latin, jazz and pop influences to sellout crowds in 20 countries. She's got a new album that's been released across Europe and in Israel, and is to debut soon in the United States.
But Bila, 47, can't catch a break in her homeland, where Gypsies are an embattled minority. She gives about 100 concerts a year abroad, yet only about five gigs back in the Czech Republic.
"People should be proud of what she achieved, but they just ignore her," said Jiri Smetana, a producer who helped discover Bila for international audiences. "Radio stations here don't want to play Gypsy music. Who knows why?"
Bila said she was used to Czech coolness, and the plight of her people—who are also known as Roma—inspired much of her music.
"I sing what I feel. It's my life in the songs," she said in an interview."When you open your heart, people can understand."
Born into a musical family in 1954, Bila started singing at the age of 7. Under her father's strict guidance, she played piano, violin and cimbalom. She said she taught herself the guitar secretly, since it didn't fit with her father's traditional tastes.
"He destroyed my radio to prevent me from listening to anything other than traditional Gypsy songs," she recalled.
It didn't work. Still, Bila and her band Kale ("Blacks" in English) go heavy on Gypsy themes
on their latest album, "Rovana"
("I Will Cry"), and the music has
ummistakably Roma roots.
In 2000, Bila played the World of Music and Dance festival in Seattle and was joined onstage by Bonnie Raitt. Riding an emotional high, Bila and her band returned to their hometown of Rokycany, 55 miles southwest of Prague, only to have the staff at a local restaurant refuse to serve them.
A new song, "Tekerel!" ("What to Do?"), captures her anguish: "What are they supposed to do now, if they can't go anywhere? When they come back home, they have tears in their eyes."
Crossword
The Czech Republic is home to 250,000 Gypsies, many of whom complain of discrimination, face racially motivated attacks and struggle to make ends meet amid 70 percent joblessness.

COMMENTARY
Chris Wristen
cwristen@kansan.com
Unsung heroes did their part for men's team
They are called the red team.
They call 'em that because they're the men's basketball backups who know a lot about red — red bruises from hard falls, red strawberries on their hips and knees from diving for loose balls and red blood from every other alteration imaginable.
They are the walk-ons; seniors Brett Ballard, Lewis Harrison, Todd Kappelmann and Chris Zerbe.
All four were junior college transfers last year and joined four-year players Jeff Boschee and Jeff Carey in the senior class. They are some of my idols, and it's a safe bet that there are thousands of kids across Kansas who feel the same way because these guys are living their dream of playing for the Kansas Jayhawks. All four are from in-state — Ballard is from Hutchinson, Zerbe is from Andover, Kappelmann is from Augusta and Harrison hails from Kansas City, Kan. — and all grew up wanting to be Jayhawks.
They worked hard, made it happen and reaped the rewards for their efforts. If people ever wondered just why these guys play for Kansas, they got a pretty good idea on Wednesday what these seniors have meant to this team. It goes far beyond basketball talent, although these guys did subdue K-State's regular starters for an early 7-0 lead.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Kappelmann heard the crowd chant his name with more than 10 minutes remaining in the game, and coach Roy Williams responded by playing him. Williams even let it slide when the 6-foot-9 senior launched a 3-pointer with two minutes left. It's not too surprising either, considering the guy has taken his knocks against Wayne Simien, Nick Collison and National Player of the Year candidate Drew Gooden for the last two years. There's a reason why Kansas is so strong inside. Kappelmann has helped make it happen.
Fan favorite Zerbe perhaps still embodies the 12-year-old kid mentality when it comes to putting on his jersey, and that's what college basketball should be all about.
"It's a dream come true," Zerbe said during his senior speech. "I wouldn't give this up for anything."
He will never forget it either.
Neither will Lewis Harrison, whose value to the crimson and blue obviously comes from his humor. If you were at Senior Night, your eyes were proba-

When Kansas is ranked and plays Tigers in Columbia Hawks often lose
By Doug Pacey
Kansan sportswriter
Senior Missouri guard Clarence Gilbert hopes that history will be on his side t Sunday, as the Tigers often beat Kansas teams ranked No.5 or higher.
There's this thing that the Missouri Tigers tend to do.
It seems every time they play a highly ranked Kansas squad in Columbia,Mo.,they win.
The pattern the Tigers follow is simple. Play the Jayhawks at the Hearnes Center when Kansas is ranked in the top five and Missouri will win.
That has happened five of the last six times that scenario has played out.
There was the game in 1997 when the unranked Tigers beat No. 1 Kansas 96-94 in double overtime and gave the Jayhawks their only Big 12 Conference loss. Missouri played spoiler again in 1998 when it edged No. 3 Kansas 74-73 and again gave the Jayhawks their lone Big 12 Conference loss. Even last year, the Tigers beat No. 3 Kansas 75-66 on the night Missouri unveiled "Norm Stewart Court."
With Kansas again the country's No.1 team and carrying a perfect 15- 0 Big 12 record (26-2 overall), can Missouri (20-9 overall, 9-6 Big 12) do it again?
"They're going to be up for us," junior forward Drew Gooden said. "It's set up perfectly for them. They don't
want us to go undefeated. They're trying to get to the tournament, they're a bubble team. They're going to be motivated. They know if they can get a win against us they're in."

Antlers prank call players
A
By Brent Wasko
Kansan sports writer
Kansas men's basketball players can expect to receive some harassing phone calls during the next few days.
Members of the Antlers, a fanatic group of Missouri students, said they planned to be at the top of their game when the Tigers battle the Jayhawks on Sunday at the Hearnes Center.
Colin Glennon, the Antlers' leader or the Grand Poo Bah, who is also called "Goose" within the group, said the organization had already begun calling Kansas players.
Greg Miller, left, and Kyle Hays, are members of the University of Missouri-Columbia Antlers Club. They cheered their basketball team as they played University of Texas at the Hearnes Center on Feb. 17, 2002.
"We say things to them like 'You suck and you're going to lose,'" Glennon said. "I'm sure the players expect a call from us. It's just a friendly way to spice up the rivalry."
The Antlers, which has 20 members, don't hide their hatred for Kansas. The group wears dresses and sports mohawks when the Jayhawks
come to town.
"It's the biggest game of the year," said Kyle "Captain Quicksword" Hays. "We dress up like women because it was rumor once upon a
time that Lawrence, Kansas had the largest per capita transvestite population in the country."

Kansas track athletes get last chance
By Matt Norton Kansan sportswriter
Basketball isn't the only college sport in which the term "on the bubble" takes on special meaning in March.
A group of Kansas track athletes, who are traveling to South Bend, Ind. and Lincoln, Neb., are on the bubble for qualifying for the NCAA indoor championships.

The Alex Wilson Invitational and the Nebraska Last Chance are just that — the last

Gvozdetskiy
chance for KU athletes to earn a trip to Fayetteville, Ark. next weekend.
Junior Vadim Gvozdetskiy is one of the Jayhawks on the bubble. He is ranked 15th in the country in the pole vault with a mark of 17-5 3/4. Last year 16 vaulters went to nationals, so his spot is far from secure.
"The majority of the athletes that are running the events at Notre Dame are on the bubble and the best competition is there," coach Stanley Redwine said. "The facility at Nebraska is really good for vaulting, so we're sending other athletes there."
Gvozdetskiy just missed on his final attempt at 17-93/4 last week at the Big 12 Championships, testing one of several new poles that had arrived the day before the meet.
He said the pole's increased length and flex should allow him to jump higher this weekend at Nebraska.
weekend.
"I used one of them at conference, so I feel pretty comfortable with that," Gvozdetskiy said. "I should definitely be able to go for 18 (feet)."
Freshman Brooklyn Hann will compete in two events at Notre Dame this weekend, the triple jump and the 4 x 440 relay with freshman Kim Clark, sophomore Stacy Keller and junior Shameika McField.
Hann, the KU record holder in the triple jump at 41-6 1/4, said she was still learning about the event, but felt confident that she could gain the seven or eight additional inches that she would probably need to get into NCAAs.
Last year 16 athletes qualified for NCAs in the triple jump. Going into the weekend, 16th place is just under 42 feet
"I did triple jump in high school, we just didn't get coached in it," Hann said. "We kind of just went to the meets and did it. So it's a lot different now when you're actually being coached."
Hann said she was disappointed that the 4 x 400 team got stuck in the slow heat of that event in Lincoln last weekend

Sledders savor snow, but pine after warmth
By Rachel Keeseee
By Rachel Keesee Kansan staff reporter
A cardboard box and an inner tube were among the sleds people took yesterday to the hill behind Carruth-O'Leary Hall — despite the 20-degree temperature and biting wind chill.
Gusts of wind up to 22 miles per hour yesterday made it feel like 4 degrees, the National Weather Service reported. But warm weather is on the way, as the service predicted temperatures would reach the mid-50s by Wednesday.
Derek Mossberg, Johnson County Community College student, said he was tired of the cold weather and shoveling snow from his driveway.
"I'm through with it," he said.
But he still enjoyed sledding yesterday with his cousin on the hill behind Carruth-O'Leary Hall. He said about 30 people had gone to the hill in the first hour he and his cousin had been there.
"This is the best hill around," Mossberg said. "We'll go until we can't walk up the hill anymore."
His 12-year-old cousin, Spencer Hutchens of
Lawrence, said the hill was perfect for his Torpedo sleds.
"They are good." I nodded.
They go out. He said Mossberg said Saturday had been too cold, but yesterday was perfect.
Temperatures dropped from 41 degrees early Friday afternoon to reach a high of 26 Saturday, according to the National Weather Service.
Snow and rain began 5 p.m. Friday, and between one and two inches of snow had accumulated by Saturday morning.
For yesterday's sledders Cris Alken, Lawrence resident, and her 10-year-old son, Kelly, warm clothes were the secret to having a good time.
"Ivegot snow pants on," Kelly Aiken said. "And I like the snow."
Yesterday was the first time this winter he had been sledding, his mother said.
"I was looking forward to this, but I'm getting cold, and it's only been half an hour," Cris Aiken said. "I want warm weather."

Andrew Mattson, Lawrence senior, makes a run on his snowboard down the hill behind Carruth-O' Leary Hall yesterday. Mattson said he wasn't sure how much longer he was going to be able to brave the cold weather, but that he wanted to take advantage of the snow one last time before spring. Tomorrow's weather forecast from the National Weather Service calls for warmer temperatures: highs in the lower 50's with mostly sunny skies. Wednesday's forecast is partly cloudy with highs in the mid 50's.

Student: campus crosswalks not safe
By Rachel Keesee
Kansan staff reporter
Using a crosswalk doesn't guarantee safety when crossing the street.
Just ask Anna Ross, Lawrence senior who was hit by a car Thursday afternoon as she walked on the crosswalk from Allen Fieldhouse to Robinson Center.
"I was almost to the middle and I looked up, and this guy was slamming on his brakes," she said. "I threw my hands on top of the car and the bumper hit me, but it didn't hurt because he was slowing down. I was lucky because he could've run over my foot—the tire was right there."
After the accident, the driver left the scene, so Ross decided to call the police.
"I made eye contact with him. He had this surprised look on his face, but he didn't stop." Ross said. "If he'd said he was sorry, I wouldn't have called KUPD. And if I had been hurt, it would have been a hit and run."
Ross said she felt vulnerable as a pedestrian on campus.
"Looking both ways isn't good enough." Ross said. "You can be in the middle of the street and have someone not stop."
Ross said the problem was with campus drivers.
Students are in a hurry," she said. "I've been here four years, and I'd say at least 10 times I've seen people not stop or even slow down for a stop sign, and there's a crosswalk there."
Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said that even when a pedestrian was hit but not hurt, a driver who didn't stop could be charged with battery or leaving the scene of an accident. He said he did not receive many reports of pedestrian accidents, but complaints about drivers not stopping for pedestrians were common.
Drivers are required by law to stop for pedestrians at crosswalks.
"Cars cannot go around them," Bailey said. "They have to stop until the pedestrian clears."
However, when a crosswalk is clear, cars do not have to slow down.
"Unless there's some other sign to slow down, such as a yield sign, they can proceed as normal."
Ross said that was part of the problem.
"When I'm waiting to cross the street, I see people a lot who are coming. I'll make eye contact with them, and then I'll realize they're not stopping," she said.

Students experience Asian culture
Rv Leah Shaffer
Kansan staff writer
Yohei Suzuki had to laugh as he served seaweed-stuffed rice balls and miso soup to hungry students during Saturday night's Taste of Asia.
The Tokyo graduate student said he was surprised to experience such a display of Asian culture during his first year in the United States.
Every year, Taste of Asia includes foods from different Asian cultural clubs on campus, along with performances. This year, after dinner at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries building, 1204 Oread Ave., more than 200 people packed the Kansas Union Ballroom to watch performances ranging from martial arts demonstrations to a fashion show featuring traditional Asian clothing.
Participating organizations also included the Cultural India Club, which performed a traditional dance, and the Vietnamese Student Association, which served spring rolls and pork dumplings during the dinner. The Indonesian Student Association served chicken satay with peanut sauce, melon with coconut milk and martabak manis, which are sweet, thick crepes.

Jerry Wang, Atlanta senior and president of the Asian American Student Union, said the event exposed students to the whole of Asia, not just countries such as China and Japan.
Wang said that through word of mouth, Taste of Asia had grown bigger every year.

Mother of 'boy genius' admits to faking test results, records
The Associated Press
DENVER — A mother whose son scored 298 on an IQ test at age 6 now admits she rigged the results and falsified other records that helped him gain renown as a boy genius.
Chapman told the News she had checked out a copy of the Stanford-Binet IQ test booklet and researched it with her son before taking the test. She told The New York Times that Justin himself had found the manual for the test in the University of Rochester library and memorized the answers.
Elizabeth Chapman, 29, confessed to faking the results after the Rocky Mountain News reported on the boy's hospitalization and began investigating his mother's claims about the intelligence tests.
The Times quoted her as saying she told Justin, "When you take the test, make sure you don't say the full answers and make some mistakes."
puter copy of a neighbor's son's SAT scores and altered it so it appeared the perfect scores of 800 in math and 650 in verbal were lustin's.
She said Justin never finished the Wechsler test at age 3 and the score was fake.
Chapman also said she made a com-
Still, Chapman said her son was highly gifted. She said Justin took University of Rochester courses himself, and did the course work necessary to receive a high school diploma from Cambridge Academy, a Florida-based online school, where he was credited with a 3.75 grade average.

NATION NAACP boycotts state for Confederate flag use
FORT MILL, S.C. — Travelers driving into South Carolina on Saturday were met by protesters waving bright yellow signs telling them to take their money elsewhere as the battle over the Confederate battle flag hit the state's borders.
The new protests are the latest push in an NAACP boycott of South Carolina that was launched two years ago over a Confederate flag that flew atop the Statehouse dome.
"We will continue until the Confederate swastika is removed from a position of sovereignty on state property," the Rev. Charles White Jr., director of the NAACP's southeast regional office, said Saturday at a welcome center just south of Charlotte, N.C.
The Legislature eventually agreed to bring the flag down, but in a compromise it raised another at a Confederate monument a few yards away. The compromise satisfied some groups, but the NAACP says the Confederate flag now flying is still on state-owned property and must go.
The message is simply "not to shop, not to stop until the flag drops," he said.
While about 20 members of the civil rights organization flashed signs outside the welcome center, two members of the Carolina Knights of the Ku Klux Klan greeted travelers inside. The Klausmen left afterstate authorities asked them not to distribute material inside the building.
Timber companies may sue if spotted owl limits remain
SEATTLE—A coalition of timber companies is threatening to sue the federal government if it doesn't review the protected status of the northern spotted owl, whose classification under the Endangered Species Act has halted logging on millions of acres of public land.
In a petition filed with Interior Secretary Gale Norton, the American Forest Resource Council accused the government of failing to comply with the act's requirement to review the status of threatened species every five years, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported Friday.
The coalition also argues that new evidence shows the birds are not in as much trouble as they were thought to be when they earned protection under the law in the early 1990s.
The petition is similar to one the group filed in January over the marbled murrelet, a type of sea bird.

Repairs alter campus bus routes
SARA SHEPHERD/KANSAN
Motorists are forced to turn around after driving past a "Road Closed" sign at the intersection of Jayhawk Boulevard and Sunflower Road last week.
By Meredith Carr Kansan staff writer
Tunnel repairs have closed a portion of Sunflower Road until at least Wednesday.
Tunnel work to repair communication lines has closed off traffic on the road near Watson Library during the hours that classes are in session. The construction also affects two KU on Wheels' bus routes that use the road. Route nine, the East Lawrence route, and route 10, the 22nd and Kasold streets route, have been temporarily changed.
Mike Appleby, director of KU on Wheels, said the two buses on the altered routes run from Naismith Drive to Sunnyside Road, take a right on Crescent Road, loop

around the Chi Omega fountain and stop at Carruth-O'Leary Hall. Then they circle back, he said.
Krista Douthett, Topeka junior, lives at Peppertree Apartments, 3100 W. 22nd St. She said taking the bus had become more of a hassle.
"I took the bus last week to get to a class in Fraser, and was dropped off at Carruth-O'Leary." Douthett said. "It kind of made me upset because I wasn't warned about this."
The University of Kansas hired Kansas City, Mo., based company Capital Electric Construction to work on the underground communication lines near the entrance to the Facilities Operation power plant. This tunnel is not only used for communication lines, but also carries steam to heat campus buildings.
Repairs would continue through the summer, and the tunnel should be finished by early August. Appleby said he hoped bus routes would be back to normal on Wednesday.

Christian group to do dishes follow example of Jesus
By Maggie Koerth Kansan staff writer
What would Jesus do?
According to members of Kansas University Christian Fellowship, Jesus would do your dishes.
This week, members of the fellowship will donate their time to do dishes for scholarship hall residents. Elizabeth Lee, staff worker for the fellowship, said the group's goal was to serve people and be more like Jesus.
She said the group decided to serve in the scholarship halls because that was where most of its members lived and doing dishes was a chore few people liked.
Lee said the idea for the dishwashing ministry came from a talk she gave about servitude. She said she spoke from the 10th chapter of Luke, a portion of the Bible that explained Jesus' views on serving others.
"In that passage, a lawyer asks Jesus how he can gain eternal life," she said. "Jesus answers that you must love the Lord your God and love your neighbor as yourself."
She said fellowship members
had discussed who "your neighbor" was and how they could show their love.
"We understand from the scripture that your neighbor is anyone who has a need and one of the ways we can show our love is by filling that need," she said.
Breann King. Prairie Village senior, is a member of the fellowship who will wash dishes in the scholarship halls.
She said she didn't mind doing other people's dishes, even though it wasn't her favorite chore.
"I look at serving as a response to God's love for us," she said. "By serving others we become more like Jesus."
Lee said the other members of the fellowship shared King's views.
"I think people are inspired by the scripture," she said. "If you believe the scripture then you believe God has called us to serve. The choice to follow Jesus outweighs any misgivings."
Scholarship hall dishwasers have been generally receptive to the idea.
"It's a good thing. It really helps us," said Brent Williams,
Hutchinson freshman and Battenfeld Scholarship Hall resident. "It totally makes sense to me. I think it's awesome that they are trying to be like lesus."
"It's different People don't expect to have others do something to help them. They are going to question why," she said.
Lee said she didn't expect all the students to get it.
Lee said it was even possible that some students might take advantage of the fellowship's service program.
"That is part of the risk you take when you serve people. Maybe people will take advantage of you, but you are there to give and to serve," she said.
Lee said that if the scholarship hall program went well, the group might do a similar service program in the residence halls later this semester.
Scholarship hall residents interested in having members of the group take over their dinner dish shifts can contact Lee at 832-1628.

Hey KU Greens, I had your so-called fair trade coffee, and let me just tell you, it tasted like the bottom of my shoe. Let's hear it for irresponsible capitalism. Go Starbucks.
As I read the UDK today I was just wondering why the Smile Coalition wasn't mentioned. Where were they?
To the girls at the KU-K-State game in their sports bras that painted KU on their stomachs, if you're going to wear your sports bras to a game, you at least need to be cute.
I just wanted to say that I have to go to class tonight when there's a KU-K-State home game.
I just moved my car from the Burge lot 30 minutes late, and it wasn't towed or ticketed. I'd like to thank the people working the lot for showing the kind of common decency so often lacking in the Parking Department.
the issues we still face.
It is absurd to say the Black community, specifically, doesn't need this month because everything in society today is on an even playing ground. The minority population at KU is still misrepresented and sourley misused. For example, we usually find ourselves in the paper when something negative has occurred.
The Langston Hughes Symposium is another example of the lack of representation we face every day.
I'd just like to say that all my friends, including me, thought that GWAR cover was awesome, and that editor dude doesn't have to apologize to any Overland Park girl. I mean come on, it was awesome. Keep up the good work.
If God fell in a forest would an atheist hear it?
I'm tired of people saying I'm a bitch like it's a bad thing.
What's up with KU fans chanting "air ball" when the shot bounces off the back board? That is not an air ball.
I just wanted to tell my guy friend if he looks in front of him he'll see me—the best girl for him, but if he continues to be blind I'm going to walk away, so he better realize this soon.
Anybody else notice how the Grammys are totally crap now?
U2 gets No. 2, they lost for song of the year. You go, Alicia Keys.
Alicia Keys did not deserve three Grammys.
I've taken it upon myself to return Free for All to its once glorious existence.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
BLACK HISTORY MONTH COVERAGE
Dear editor,
Dear editor, The Kansan's failure to acknowledge Black History Month and more specifically the Langston Hughes Symposium neglected to provide sufficient attention to one of the most important events KU will have this year.
Recently, an editorial appeared in the paper in regards to Black History Month. The writer basically suggested that celebrating the month was a backset for the human race. Some students at the University of Kansas, including myself, were greatly disappointed to read this. It is obvious that the student body is not as diverse as it should be. It's painful to think that we still have a long way to go for others to understand our plights and the issues we still face today.
During the second week in February, poetry readings, films, art shows, speeches and concerts focused on Langston Hughes' hopes for his people and the world at large. In all, the symposium gave recognition to one of the major figures of the 20th century. While the event inspired me and opened my eyes to a world I never knew before, the Kansan's neglect dimmed some of the hopes that the symposium was trying to create. While newspapers, including The New York Times, jumped on the chance to celerate a wonderful experience which many were involved with, our very own school newspaper did not even mention it. This was a slap in the face for some of those on campus, race aside, who attended the events and embraced the life and work that, to this day, has us wondering what happens to a dream deferred.
Comments in the Free for All exploded with just some of the many emotions that celebrators of Black History Month feel towards the neglect they've witnessed. No matter what race you are, the events featured in Black History Month are important. Events like the symposium are there to inspire, educate and push awareness of people's lives — past and present — into the forefront. The day when we all acknowledge that celebrating our differences doesn't separate, but rather educates, will be a great day.
We must remember that when one believes that education applies only to a certain few, we all lose. those who fail to learn history are doomed to repeat it. Keep this in mind when deciding whether Black History Month applies to you.

PERSPECTIVE
Media's persistent, obscene titillation distracts from concerns of real life
Walking down the sidewalk last week, I was thrown into the world of crude language and obscene mental images. "Cum see the Vagina Monologues," I read. "Do you hunt for cunt?" An invitation to eat a vagina cookie rubbed off on the bottom of my shoes on my way to each and every class.
COMMENTARY
I'm a little embarrassed to admit I was offended. I see parents walking with their children on these campus sidewalks on the weekends, and I instantly pictured an 8-year-old boy asking his mother why college students misspelled "cum." If I blushed at some of the advertisements, imagine how parents would feel.
Two weeks ago the fake blood was printed on the front page of the Kansan. A letter to the editor and Free for All callers complained about this gory display. But I've heard others comment on how cool it was.

As individuals, we have grown up in a world where we were taught that naiveté is a disease. The movie Grease introduced the innocent girl who changes from floral print to leather in order to "fit in." Kindergarten Cop showed us that it's

OK, funny and cute even, for 5-year-olds to say "penis" and "vagina." Media show us every day that the bloodier the image, the more interesting the story.
We may not all enjoy the newspapers plattered in blood, but we'll sure read the story out of curiosity. We may not appreciate The Vagina Monologues, but would anyone attend a theatrical presentation simply titled The Women Monologues?
It's sad. Any form of public broadcasting has become drama. Instead of reporting the news in a straightforward fashion, meteorologists give us small details of tomorrow's conditions and then
tease us into waiting 15 more minutes before we learn of the chances of snow. The ratings of popular talk shows depend on who can get the more violent and rowdy guests.And a sitcom is only good if it involves sex.
The reason this occurs is nothing more than a lack of interest in our own private lives. None of us live the star-studded existence, so we dramatize it. Why settle for hearing a little gossip when we can elevate it to a full out scandal?
Life is not this boring. Between school, work, friends and family, I have little want of a busier schedule. I'm just like the next person, in that loud and colorful things catch my eye, but I also have appreciation for the soft, for the black and white.
And I am still shocked by the goriest movies and the most obnoxious talk shows. But being naive is something that I want, because I'm only 19-years-old. And if there's nothing left to shock me by this age, how boring is the rest of my life going to be?

PERSPECTIVE
Students should learn about sweatshops
College students shopping on Massachusetts Street on a Saturday afternoon is a normal sight in Lawrence. Clothing stores such as the Gap, Eddie Bauer and the Buckle are among the most popular stores visited by students.
Many students flock to these stores to catch popular, high-priced clothing on sale, but rarely do they think about where and how the merchandise is made, nor do many care.
COMMENTARY
COMMA
But there's a good chance that sweater you bought last season was made in a dingy, unhealthy environment by a severely underpaid worker. This scenario usually conjures up images of exploited women and children in foreign sweatshops, but the truth sits closer to home.
Tabatha Beerbower opinion@kansan.com
According to the Feminist Against Sweatshops organization, the most recent reports from the Department of Labor state that more than 50 percent of U.S. garment factories are sweatshops, or a place of work that violates two or more basic labor laws. Many are run in California, New York, Atlanta, Miami and Dallas.
In sweatshops all over the world, brand names that college students wear to class everyday are produced by people, often children, working long hours for sub-minimum wage, with no benefits. Those workers must contend with forced overtime, sexual and verbal harassment and abuse just to support a family.
Consumers have a right to know where their merchandise comes from. Nike, the brand worn by all University athletic teams, has been cited for unethical labor practices in its factories in Indonesia, China, Vietnam and Haiti. Philips-Van Heusen and the Gap have been cited for labor violations in factories in Latin America. Other companies cited for violations include Disney, Wal-Mart, Reebok, Guess, Liz Claiborne and Ralph Lauren.
Workers of all nationalities should have a right to safe and healthy working environments. As college students who have a considerable amount of buying power in Lawrence, we should take action by checking labels and boycotting merchandise from corporations that use sweatshops to produce their products. Granted, with so many clothing chains linked to sweatshops, it will be difficult to know where all merchandise originates.
The first step is to become an informed consumer. The University should be an example to the community and other universities by not carrying brand names in its student unions and stores that are made through the exploitation of workers, including Nike.
As a consumer, know where the merchandise you buy comes from. Know where it is made and in what kind of conditions. Before you buy that $30 tank top or $100 pair of running shoes, ask yourself if it was made by someone your age, sitting behind steel cages, working with dangerous machinery for long hours.

Kristy Klein, Chicago sophomore, and Kandace Creel, Albuquerque, N.M., sophomore, sip coffee at the Fair Trade Coffee Expo Sunday in the Kansas Union.
By Melissa Shuman Kansan staff writer
Yesterday, student coffee-drinkers learned how their food dollar could help coffee growers.
The KU Greens and the Lawrence Fair Trade Coffee Commission held a Fair Trade Coffee Expo at the Kansas Union Ballroom. PT's Caffe & Roasterie, The Roasterie Inc. and The Community Mercantile Co-op set up tables to explain Fair Trade coffee and offer samples.
TransFair USA developed the Fair Trade designation in 1999. Certification as Fair Trade coffee guarantees that the coffee is grown using ecologically safe growing practices by a cooperative in which the workers share profits. In exchange, sellers are guaranteed $1.26 per pound.
"Importer in the conventional market often pay $ .45-$.50 per pound for coffee, and that money goes to the export farmer, not the actual workers," said Nina Luttinger, communications manager for Fair Trade Labeling Organization, "A small farmer who gets paid $ .25-$.50 per pound doesn't even make production costs."
Luttinger said that the fair price was important to the Third World countries that grew coffee.

"Your food dollar has more power and affects more people in foreign countries than any other dollar you can spend," Luttinger said. "The fair trade program cuts out the middle man and gives money to the farmer."
Jeff Taylor, co-owner of PT's Caffe & Roasterie in Topeka offers five different blends of Fair Trade coffee.
"Fair Trade coffee sells better when people know about it — it's about educating the consumer," Taylor said.
Phil Thomas, marketing manager of The Roasterie Inc., said the Kansas City, Mo.-based company offered four blends of fair trade coffee.
"We wouldn't buy fair trade if it wasn't good coffee," Thomas said. "Fortunately, the fair trade philosophy ends up translating into good quality."
Taylor said he thought that while organic coffees didn't taste good five to seven years ago, some now taste better than regular coffee. Fair Trade coffee at PT's is also certified as shade grown and organic.
Julia Hanson works as the Bulk Department manager of The Merc, 901 Iowa St. The Merc sells fair trade coffee in about 25 different flavors.
"When we have a sale on fair trade coffee, I can't keep it on the shelf," Hanson said. "I might sell as much as 15 pounds of coffee in a day."

Kansas legislature debates anti-terrorism legislation
Searchable archives on
TOPEKA — Legislators are finding it relatively easy to erect barricades and post additional guards in the name of state security.
Giving authorities more tools to detect, investigate and prosecute terrorists is proving tougher. Critics of a far-ranging bill pending in a House committee warn that equipping police with expanded powers may trample on citizens' constitutional rights.
Other provisions were drawn from a report on an 18-month review — begun in 2000 — on all aspects of the state's emergency preparedness, including its ability to investigate and prosecute terrorism. The report was produced by the Kansas Division of Emergency Management, National Emergency Managers Association and the federal Office of Justice Programs.
Critics of the legislation have taken aim largely at its provisions on wiretaps, modeled on federal law.
Parts of the bill were proposed by Attorney General Carla Stovall to give prosecutors and law enforcement greater latitude to fight terrorism as well as drug trafficking.
"It is easier to restrict freedoms now than to restore them when the threat has passed," said attorney Jim Bush of Hiawatha, president of the Kansas Bar Association.
But supporters, including House Judiciary Chairman Mike O'Neal, say the legislation would let Kansas be proactive in detecting and prosecuting terrorism. The bill mirrors some aspects of a federal law enacted after the Sept. 11 attacks.
news at the speed of light
While the state's finances are tight, "Preparedness is more cost-effective than crisis management," he said.
Among other things, it would let district court judges issue warrants for wiretaps anywhere in the state and would make a tap specific to a person, not a telephone or location, said Rep. Joe Shriver (D-Arkansas City).
Shriver, who served on a six-legislator interim committee on security appointed after Sept. 11, said that in the hands of an overzealous attorney general, the broader wiretap powers raise the threat of authorities monitoring citizens with "Gestapo" tactics.
Sen. David Adkins (R-Leawood), a candidate for attorney general, drafted similar proposals before the current legislative session. While his are not contained in a specific bill, he supports the changes proposed in the House measure and is dismayed that colleagues are moving on it slowly.
nsan.com
Similar anti-terrorism legislation has become law elsewhere. South Dakota Gov. Bill Janklow recently signed a bill creating a new crime of terrorism punishable by death or life in prison without parole. Other sections address responses to bioterrorism and the emergency powers of the governor.
Lisa Nathanson, legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas and Western Missouri, noted the Kansas bill's resemblance to the new USA Patriot Act, which she called a package of "ambiguously defined, over-encouraging laws."
O'Neal said the bill would likely be sent to a special committee for study this summer and fall, with recommendations to the 2003 Legislature.

Some Taiwanese Student Association members mixed techno music with the clothing from their culture during their first performance of the evening.
"It's really a good way to expose the whole KU campus to all the different Asian cultures," said Marena Smitobol, Chicago senior and member of the Asian American Student Union.
Jason Robertson, Kansas City, Mo., senior, had never been to Taste of Asia before this year. Robertson said he was surprised by the variety of foods.
"I wish there were more events like this," he said. "I'm really happy that I heard of this."
Jennifer Wade, Wichita sophomore and treasurer for the Asian American Student Union, said that Coca-Cola, the Asian American Student Union and Student Senate sponsored the event. She said each cultural organization was reimbursed for money spent on food.

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Squeezed tightly into the cramped visitor's locker room in the Hearnes Center, Kansas' post-game celebration must've been like moshing with 15 of your tallest and lakiest friends in a walk-in closet.
Jumping around and hootin' and hollerin' like the Jayhawks do after every win, the nation's No. 1 team had more than a simple victory to revel in yesterday afternoon.
Kansas had beaten Missouri 95-92 and became the first school in the Big 12 Conference to finish conference play an unblemished 16-0.
"It's so hard to go out in our league and win every night," said junior forward Nick Collison, who scored a career-high 28 points on 9-for-12 shooting. "I wouldn't ever believe we could've done it if you asked me before the season just because our league's so tough. We won a lot of games, like tonight, when we didn't play our best, but pulled it out in the end."
Kansas (27-2 overall) led the entire second-half until Missouri center Arthur Johnson converted a three-point play, which gave the Tigers (20-10 overall, 9-7 Big 12) a 92-9 advantage with less than two minutes to go. The Jayhawks took their time on the ensuing possession and Collison found himself all alone with the ball just beyond the free throw line. He buried the game-winning open shot and Kansas took a lead it would not relinquish.
After back-to-back turnovers by both teams, Missouri's Clarence Gilbert was whistled for a double-dribble and Gooden's put-back of a miss by junior guard Kirk Hinrich with 27 seconds remaining gave Kansas a three-point cushion.
remaining gave Kansas a three point win. When Jeff Boschee intercepted a Kareem Rush pass on the Tigers' next possession, it seemed that he would ensure a victory for the Jayhawks, but Rush ran the senior guard down and blocked his shot, giving the Tigers a chance to tie the game.
Gilbert, who scored 27 points and is second to Boschee as the Big 12's all-time leading three-point shooter, missed on a try from

Collison's 28 points clinch Kansas win
By Brent Wasko
Kansan sportswriter
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Kansas junior forward Nick Collison wasn't about to watch the Jayhawks lose again in the Hearnes Center against Missouri.
With junior forward Drew Gooden struggling to make a shot and senior guard Jeff Boschee sitting on the bench with foul trouble, Collison stepped up and had his best game in a Jayhawk uniform. He poured in a career-high 28 points and helped Kansas sneak past Missouri, 95-92.
Yesterday's victory was the first for Kansas in Columbia, Mo., since Jan. 11, 1999, when Collison was still a senior in high school.
"It feels pretty good to have a game like this, especially on the road against Missouri," Collison said. "It's definitely the best I've played in a big game. I've put together very good halves before, but I think today I played well in both the first and second half."
Collison's offensive explosion against Missouri was somewhat

As Gooden as gone? Why coming back makes sense
Drew Gooden raced down the sidelines last Wednesday against Kansas State, dove for the loose basketball and crashed his 6-foot-10 body into the scorer's table.
Coach Roy Williams, moved by his star player's grit and hustle, uncharacteristically jumped from his seat, scampered toward Gooden and slapped him on his backside as he lay face-forward on the court.
Gooden strutted to his defensive position, planted his feet and leaned forward to grab his shorts. A familiar chant started to erupt behind the north and south baskets at Allen Fieldhouse.
Soon, the sounds resounded from all directions.
Before the game, Kansas fans showered six seniors with thank yous as they stood at center court before their last game in Lawrence. But at this moment the spotlight, as it has for most of the season, shone
"One more year. One more year. One more year."
on Kansas' junior power forward. The reverberations were deafening, but the unbridled appreciation cannot overcome the fame and the millions.
COMMENTARY
Jeff Denton
jdenton@kansan.com
Like his six teammates, Gooden played his final home game in a Kansas uniform.
Speculation that he will bolt after this season has increased as much as his stock has sizzled. Mock draft sites and college basketball experts all pencil Drew in as a top-5 pick. He hinted at leaving on Jim Rome's syndicated talk show last month and mimicked this desire on Jason Whitlock's morning show Feb.22.
A lottery-ticket trip to the next level is more enticing for Gooden than a fourth year on the Hill.
The NBA temptation will seduce him.
He finally squelched the NBA talk after the Kansas State thrashing, saying he was sick and tired of answering the same question.
But anyone who understands the trend of bailing early for the NBA should have
foreseen the inevitable when Gooden announced in late April that he would return for his junior season. It would be his last. All Gooden thought he needed was one more season.
The question now is not whether Gooden is ready for the NBA. A slew of rookies riding the bench at NBA arenas have far less talent and potential. The question should be is Gooden ready to be a star?
At times, his athleticism and feel for the game are mind-boggling — the shots he sends flying in the stands, his ability to spin
and unleash a jumphook before the defender can put up his hands, the jaw-dropping jams and the whip-like passes he zips to his teammates through traffic.
The NBA covets this type of ability.
But at times, his selfishness and decision-making woes tarnish his development.
Take the back-to-back threes he clanked against UCLA in January, or consistently missing shots outside of 15 feet and forcing things out of frustration as he did yesterday in the first half against Missouri. Packing on more muscle to his slender frame could also only add to his arsenal and help absorb the pounding at the power forward slot.
A fourth year could tweak these imperfections, bridging really good from really great.
After a sloppy Sunday in Columbia, it was evident Gooden could benefit from a final year to hone his skills and cement his role as the best college player on the planet.
There would be no Jason Williams hogging the hype.
Gooden would be college basketball's focal point.
There would be one more winter of the high-low post magic with Nick Collision, the thunderous slams from Kirk Hinrich feeds and a march to perhaps back-toback National Championships.
When Kansas fans argue about who was the best basketball player to play here, they will gab about Wilt Chamberlain. They will reminisce how Danny Manning powered the 1988 team that won it all. They will shake their heads at Raef LaFrentz's inside-outside brilliance and how Paul Pierce could dominate a game as if he was going up against no one. And then they will come to Drew Gooden — how he played, how he competed and how he won.
But with a fourth year, there will be no argument.

Tennis team defeats Utah, but loses to Brigham Young
Wash hands.
By Jonah Ballow Kansan sportswriter
S
The first road win of the season came down to one match for Kansas junior Kim Lorenz. With the team score tied, Lorenz defeated Allison Hansen and Utah for a 4-3 victory for the Jayhawks.
"I feel real good about the win." Lorenz said. "I didn't feel good about the way that I played this weekend, but being able to come through for my team and to get this win is always a good feeling."
The tandem of Courtney and Kristen Steinbock struggled against Brooke Beverley and Dominique Reynolds as they lost 8-4 at the No.1 doubles position. The Cougars beat all three Jayhawk doubles teams.
The 4-3 Jayhawks lost the first of their two matches Friday against Brigham Young in Provo, Utah.
Senior Cheryl Malliah bounced back from losing her first set to win the match against Lindsay Ferrell 4-6, 6-3, 6-1. No. 6 Lorenz also won a three-set battle against Nicole Schneider 2-6, 7-6(4), 6-2.
"Going to the state of Utah is always tough because of the altitude and the fan base that both teams have," coach Kilmeny Waterman said.
The jahawks were not able to win any other singles matches and fell to the Cougars 5-2.
After losing their first contest, the Jayhawks traveled to Salt Lake City to take on Utah. The Steinbock twins picked up their first win of the season as they defeated Irini Kotoglou and Linn Ronnberg 8-4. Lorenz replaced freshman Paige Brown, who was forced to sit out the two matches because of illness. Haylock and Lorenz teamed up for the first time this season and convincingly beat Ellen Sensson and Kasteler 8-1.
The Jayhawks would pick up the doubles point and win three out of the six singles matches. Mallaiah led the way by defeating Sheri Esrock 6-2, 6-1, improving her singles record to 4-3.
Kansas returns home to take on three Big 12 teams in three days. Texas Tech, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma will try to end the Jayhawks' undefeated record at home when the teams meet Friday through Saturday at the Alvamar Racquet Club, 4120 Clinton Parkway.

Women's golf team faces elite competition, fights for higher ranking
The Kansas women's golf team begins this week on a mission to improve on its 12th-place finish in last week's Carolinas Collegiate Classic.
Kansas will compete today and tomorrow in the Verizon Mo Morial tournament at Briarcrest Country Club in College Station, Texas. Texas A&M is the host school.
Three of the 18 teams competing in the tournament are ranked in the top-25, 11 are ranked in the top-50 and the rest are ranked in the top-100 including No.100 Kansas.
"We are ready to get back in action," coach Nicole Hollingsworth said. "The competition will be tough, and hopefully we can play well each round."
The Jayhawks finished 10th in the Verizon Mo Morial last spring. Tiffany Kruggel was Kansas' highest individual finisher in a tie for 27th place
It was the third straight tournament last spring that Kansas finished in the top 10.

BASKETBALL Mississippi trumps Alabama endangers top tourney seed
The Associated Press
OXFORD, Miss. — David Sanders scored a career-high 23 points as Mississippi defeated No. 6 Alabama 84-56 yesterday, the second time in 15 days the Rebels have knocked off the sixth-ranked team at home.
Ole Miss (20-9, 9-7 Southeastern Conference) finished the season 13-1 at Tad Smith Coliseum, including 8-0 in the SEC.
The Crimson Tide (24-6, 12-4) matched its second-lowest point total of the season, turned the ball over 26 times and damaged its chances of earning a top seed in the NCAA tournament.
When the Rebels beat then-No. 6 Florida 68-51 on Feb. 16, they were coming off a bad road defeat to Auburn.
The scenario was the same for the Rebels yesterday. Having dropped a threepoint game at LSU on Wednesday, Ole Miss needed a victory to fortify its NCAA tournament credentials and help people forget about that 1-7 SEC road record.
Steve Logan scored 30 points and sent the game to overtime with a floating jumper yesterday and the fourth-ranked University of Cincinnati rallied for an 80-75 victory over Memphis, extending its dominance of Conference USA.
The Bearcats (27-3, 14-2) have won or shared each of the league's seven regular season titles, earning the top seed for every conference tournament.
Even hard-edged coach Bob Huggins got weepy on an afternoon when the team honored its four seniors and then won a seventh title.
"I've never seen him teary-eyed," said Donald Little, who had 15 points and 12 rebounds. "When you see Huggins emotional, you've got to be emotional. You don't see that from him."

Softball team hangs on to beat Mississippi State
By Ali Brox
Kansan sports writer
The Kansas softball team learned from its mistakes in a 5-4 loss against No.18 Florida State on Friday and was able to hang on for a 4-3 win against No.22 Mississippi State yesterday.
"We need to be able to finish ball games," coach Tracy Bunge said. "We had it won on Friday and gave it away. But if we can learn from the loss how to finish games, then that's a good thing."
Kansas jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning against Florida State, but the Seminoles started their comeback in the sixth inning with two hits and two runs. moving the score to 4-2.
Two more runs in the bottom of the seventh won the game for Florida State.
Because of severe thunderstorms and almost six inches of rain, Kansas was not able to play Saturday.
Kansas senior pitcher Kelly Campbell had a no-hitter for 4.2 innings, but gave up five hits before being relieved by sophomore Kara Pierce.
Kansas again jumped out to a 4-0 lead against Mississippi State yesterday. The Bulldogs cut the lead to 4-2 in the fifth inning and threatened again in the seventh.
After getting the first two outs of the seventh.
freshman pitcher Serena Settlemier hit a batter. Mississippi State followed with two hits that scored a runner and moved the score to 4-3. It looked like it could be a repeat of Friday's game, but Kansas got the final out when Christi Musser caught a fly in left field.
"Going into the seventh inning, we wanted to do well because we hadn't played the full game on Friday, and we didn't want that to happen again," Settlemier said. "We were more fired up and focused because of what had happened against Florida State."
Christi Musser hit a two-run home run in the second inning against Mississippi State. In her next at bat she hit a drag bunt for a single. Mixing it up like that makes it very difficult for the defense to play her.
"She's our leader on offense right now," Bunge said. "She's in a comfort zone. When she goes up to the plate, she has a good idea of what she wants to do."
The 1-1 outing in Florida moves the Jayhawks' record to 5-7. Kansas plays its first home game on tomorrow against Washburn at 4 p.m.

Several Kansas track and field athletes will have to wait until this afternoon to find out if they will be competing at the NCAA championships in Favetteville. Ark...next weekend.
Track and field athletes wait to see who qualifies for meet
The Jayhawks turned in six provisional qualifying marks at the Alex Wilson Invitational in South Bend, Ind., and the Nebraska Last Chance in Lincoln, Neb., but they'll have to wait for the NCAA to compile and publish the official qualifiers to see if their marks stand up.
Now Hann will have to wait and see if anyone else around the country jumped far enough to nudge her out of the meet.
Freshman Brooklyn Hann reset her own Kansas record in the triple jump, winning the event at the Wilson Invite with a leap of 42-31 1/4. her placing in a tie for 11th in the country.

In Lincoln, junior Vadim Gvozdetskiy upped his provisional mark in the pole vault to 17-11, which places him fifth nationally and, barring disaster, into the NCAAs.
Senior Jennie Wonder broke her own school mark in the 60 meter hurdles at Notre Dame with a time of 8.32 seconds, a provisional mark that places her in the top 25 in the country but not quite high enough to make the trip to Arkansas.
"We had some good performances but unfortunately not everyone hit a qualifying mark," coach Stanley Redwine said. "We're excited about our athletes who did well."

Show ponders life in outer space
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Is there life beyond Earth? A new computer-generated show at the American Museum of Natural History probes the question by taking viewers from the blackest depths of the ocean to the cosmos outside the Milky Way galaxy.
It's quite a ride. The journey unfolds on the domed ceiling of the circular theater, where images from seven huge projectors form sights like a panorama of the surface of Mars. It feels like you're riding some kind of magic whale that can rise with speed and grace from the deep ocean to slip through the clouds and soar through outer space.
The Search for Life: Are We Alone? replaces Passport to the Universe, which took more than 3 million viewers on a different cosmic voyage during its two-year run at the museum's Hayden Planetarium. The original show, narrated by Tom Hanks, may return later.
Harrison Ford takes over the narrating duties in the new 23- minute production, which the
museum developed with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
The new show continues the idea of sweating the scientific details. The 25,000 stars it shows in the Milky Way galaxy are in the right spots; so are the 28,000 other galaxies it depicts. And when audience members watch cosmic clouds condense to form stars, they're seeing the results of mathematical simulations designed to understand that process.
For a lay audience of museumgoers, isn't this overkill?
"We're a scientific institution. Our goal is to educate. We want to actually show the science," replied Anthony Braun, executive producer for the museum's Rose Center for Earth and Space.
Quite properly, the show doesn't claim to answer the question of whether there's life in outer space, because scientists don't know. A lay person who has paid attention to the topic won't hear any startling insights here either. But the presentation does review key points that scientists are pondering.
The visit to the deep ocean, for
example, shows a perpetually dark environment where scalding hot water spurts from the bowels of Earth — and where some organisms thrive. "Life is tougher than we thought." Ford remarks.
The show also notes the fairly recent discoveries of dozens of planets outside the solar system, illustrating the idea that the universe contains plenty of places where life might spring up. "What are the odds that our planet is the only one with life?" Ford asks.
But Ford also notes that two favorite potential spots for life are much closer to home: Mars and Europa, a moon of Jupiter. Viewers check out Mars with a 360-degree image of its surface, courtesy of the 1997 Pathfinder mission.
For all its focus on the possibility of life beyond, the show's closing words remind viewers that there's work to be done at home, too.
"If we can learn to protect our only home in the cosmos and the life that it brought forth," Ford says, "just think of the new worlds, and ways of being alive, that we might discover."

KANSAS
Kansas forward Drew Gooden looks to pass around Missouri forward Bryant Travon. The Jayhawks beat the Tigers 95-2 yesterday.
JAYHAWKS
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7D behind the arc as time expired, and sealed Kansas' first undefeated conference season since the 1970-71 Jayhawks went 14-0 in Big Eight play, and their second win at the Hearnes Center in their last seven tries.
"It's a nice win," said Gooden, with a grin as wide as the Missouri River. "Weget 16-and-0 and the freshman, sophomore and junior class finally win at Missouri. Their fans have been on us all week calling our houses and it feels good to come here and get the win and get out of town."
In a dimly lit stairwell after the game, Williams told a throng of newspaper, television and radio reporters that the undefeated Big 12 season wasn't one of the team's goals. Kansas' coach said he didn't
even mention it to his team until after the Jayhawks' win against Kansas State Wednesday. But now, after Kansas' perfect season, Williams said he doesn't know how much he'll appreciate the feat.
"I don't know that I'll ever enjoy the 16-0 mark because other things are coming up quickly now." Williams said. "But will really enjoy the conference championship because that was our goal. I will enjoy wearing the ring, I already enjoy seeing it up on the banner there in Allen Fieldhouse. I think as time goes we'll see how difficult it is to go undefeated in the league and with every passing year we'll enjoy it more."

COLLISON
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
surprising in that more than a third of his points came from the free-throw line. His 56.4 free-throw percentage ranks as the worst among the Jayhawks' five starters.
But against the Tigers, Collison was sensational from the line. He drained a career-high 10-of-12 from the charity stripe, and his nine free throws in the first half tied for the second-most made in a single half in the Roy Williams coaching era.
"It felt good — to go up there and shoot them and not worry about it," Collison said. "That's the way I can shoot them. I just haven't shown it much this year."
Collison said he didn't know why he was suddenly so effective from the free-throw line.
"I think there is nothing wrong with my shot. I didn't know anything to change that would make a difference," he said. "Mentally, it does wear on me a little bit not being able to shoot very well on the line because I know that I'm totally capable of being a good shooter. It's just a matter of concentration on every shot."
Collison made nine of his 12 shots from the field, grabbed seven rebounds and swiped a team-high three steals.
"He had a career night tonight and he was a beast inside," freshman forward Wayne Simien said. "He attacked them in the paint on every possession and he definitely gave us a lift."
Several of his buckets were outside jump shots, which is something he normally doesn't even attempt.
Collison scored eight consecutive points for Kansas with about three minutes left before the intermission, giving the Jayhawks a 54-45 halftime lead.
"Coach feels a little better off with me underneath the backboard, but I knew I could make those shots," said Collison.

MISS UNITED SUCCESS STATE NATIONAL GENERAL HONORARY MISSING FORCESS ANNOUNCEMENTS
Douglas: Awarded first runner-up in the Miss USA competition last week in Gary, Ind. She is shown above as Miss Kansas 2001.
Jayhawk awarded Miss USA runner-up
By Meredith Carr Kansan staff writer
Lindsay Doulgas' lifelong dream came true Friday night in Gary, Ind.
Deion Sanders, host of the Miss USA competition, announced the Chesterfield, Mo., senior as one of the five finalists for the title. He then announced three other women for fourth, third and second runner-up. Finally, Sanders called Douglas' name, and she was awarded Miss USA first runner-up.
It was the achievement of a goal for Douglas, who began competing in beauty pageants at age 16 when she won Miss Missouri Teen All-American.
Douglas attended classes at the University through last semester
"I didn't even expect to make it to the top five."
Lindsay Douglas Miss USA first runner-up
but took this semester off to focus on her pageant duties. To prepare for the pageant, Douglas exercised four hours a day, ate a healthy diet and remained focused toward her dream.
Douglas grew up in Missouri but qualified as
a Kansas resident this year. She entered and won the Miss Kansas USA pageant in October.
That title put her in the Miss USA pageant.
"I didn't think I was going to win," Douglas said. "I didn't even expect to make it to the top five."
Douglas said the hardest part of the pageant was the swimsuit competition.
"I think that is when I became aware that there were like 200-million people watching me," Douglas said. "I was a speed walker, and I just wanted to get off the runway."
Douglas was supported by friends and family who attended the pageant. Noelle Barns, Douglas' best friend, said she was thrilled Douglas had made runner-up.
"I knew she wasn't bitter, she was genuinely happy for the other girl," Barns said.
If Miss USA 2002 Shauntay Hinton, the Miss District of Columbia, wins the Miss Universe competition in Peuro Rico in May, Douglas will be named Miss USA.

Regents raise requirement
By Meredith Carr Kansan staff writer
The Board of Regents' decision to increase the number of junior/senior hours students have to take in order to graduate has raised concerns about the tuition increase, faculty and classes at the University of Kansas.
Junior/senior courses are defined as classes at the 300 level and above.
The Regents decided at its November 2001 meeting that the number of junior/senior hours required for graduation would increase across the board to 54 hours.
The plan affects new students enrolling in the University for Fall 2003. Students already enrolled will not be affected. The Regents have been considering what constitutes a Bachelor of Arts degree for about a year.
"We put the implementation date far ahead down the road so proper advising could be taken into account," William
Docking, Board of Regents member said.
Currently, the number of junior/senior hours a student has to take in order to graduate depends on the degree program a student is studying. In the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the most common number of junior/senior hours needed is 40 hours.
The number of junior/senior hours currently required for other Big 12 universities are between 36 and 48 hours.
With the new number of hours, Docking said the Regents thought students would get a better quality education, because they would have to take more upper-level classes.
But Tom Beissecker, president of the University Council, said this would limit students enrollment choices.
"With this policy it would reduce the flexibility and opportunity of classes outside the required curriculum the students would be able to take," he said.
Jessica Bankston, holdover student
senator and San Angelo, Texas, senior, said she disagreed with the Regents' decision.
decision. "I think the increase in hours is going to be a huge burden on our University," she said. "Currently, when a student gets into the upper-level courses in their major, there are fewer number of students in the classes. This would mean the University would have to hire more professional faculty members."
Bryce Canfield, Topeka junior,said he questioned the increase in hours because the University was already going to raise tuition.
"If the increase in hours is directly correlated with the rise in tuition positively, then it almost seems as though KU is trying to rob the students," Canfield said.
Docking said the Regents' decision to increase hours was unrelated to the proposed tuition raises.

The fate of three University-owned houses in the 1300 block of Ohio Street will be decided within the next eight days.
The deadline for Ramon Powers, state historical preservation officer, to announce his decision is Wednesday. March 13.
The University wants to demolish the houses to make room for two new scholarship halls. The Lawrence Preservation Alliance and the Oread Neighborhood Association say the homes should be preserved as the historically important environs of Spooner Hall and the Usher House, both of which are designated as National Historical Places. The Usher House, 1425 Tennessee St., is the residence of Beta Theta Pi fraternity.
Students who live in the 10 existing scholarship halls said they had mixed feelings about adding two new scholarship houses as the decision approaches.
Three houses may soon be absent from the 1300 block of Ohio Street. The University wants to replace them with scholarship halls, while others want to preserve them as historical landmarks.
Amanda Titel, Iola junior and resident of Miller Scholarship Hall, said more scholarship halls would benefit the KU community, but not in place of the houses behind Margaret Amini and K.K. Amini Scholarship Halls.
Gavin Rondeau, Great Bend junior and resident of Battenfeld Scholarship Hall, said the houses should be saved.

Rondeau said he felt the houses had historical significance.
"They enrich the neighborhood," he said. "Let's try to build a little history here."
Rondeau said some of his friends agreed with him, but that most scholarship hall residents didn't care if the houses were torn down or not.
Katy Munch, who lives in Sellards Scholarship Hall, said she agreed with that sentiment. The Bellevue, Neb., sophomore said students had been apathetic, despite several information sessions and opportunities
for scholarship hall residents to speak their minds.
"It doesn't affect us because it will happen several years from now." Munch said.
Munch said she thought even adding one or two new halls would take away from the small community feeling that the scholarship halls provide for students.
"If you look at the area, the scholarship halls wouldn't fit in with the neighborhood. It would be too much old versus new halls," she said.
Some students think otherwise.
"They're an eyesore." Scott Roberts, Arma sophomore said, said of the Ohio Street houses.
Roberts, a resident of K.K. Amini Hall, said the houses should be torn down. He said adding two new hall would not take away from the scholarship hall community. He said other concerns, like parking, were not an issue, either.

City recommends change in zoning for housing area close to campus
By Lauren Beatty
Kansan staff writer
The Oread Neighborhood isn't the only area in Lawrence dealing with student housing issues. Old West Lawrence, framed by Sixth, Ninth, Illinois and Michigan streets, is also facing pressure to house more students.
The area is known for its historic Victorian-era homes. The designation would discourage homeowners from subdividing and renting out houses because the three-person limit applies to the structure as a whole. In addition, new multi-family buildings such as duplexes
The Lawrence planning commission recommended Thursday to rezone some of the area to become a single-family district, where no more than three unrelated people can live together.
and apartments could not be built.
Bruce Livingston, Lawrence resident, owns a house in Old West Lawrence. He said he wanted to tear down the house and build a duplex in its place because there was a need for rentals near the KU campus.
Livingston said that when he bought the property 17 years ago, he planned to rent the house until it was no longer cost-effective to maintain and then build a duplex. The house is currently in a zone that allows duplexes, but if the rezoning is approved, that would change.
"They're looking to make sure students can't live close to campus," Livingston said. "But these old houses are the cheapest places for them to live."
He feels the designation would be anti-student.
Dennis Enslinger, historic resources administrator, said duplexes already in the area would still be allowed to operate.

Jo Anderson-Abbott, a member of the Lawrence Neighborhoods Association, said she thought Old West Lawrence had the nicest old homes in the city and that if duplexes were brought in, trash and noise would increase.

Anderson-Abbott said the neighborhood had been concerned about property owners buying homes in the area and converting them into rentals. The rezoning action might be happening now because of increased interest in listing neighborhood homes on the National Register of Historic Places, she said.

Enslinger said a petition was presented to the planning commission to recommend the rezoning.
The recommendation will go to the City Commission for discussion Tuesday, March 26.

They had the blaze under control in 10 minutes, but the fire destroyed the garage and a wall of the duplex.
Frey escaped without injury.
The fire department estimated damages at $12,000.
The American Red Cross was called in to assist the occupants of the duplex, but both decided to stay with friends.

Views on women not linked to religion
Women's role in clergy may not affect how students see women
By Maggie Koerth Kansan staff writer
A recent study by a student showed University of Kansas students' views on the role of women in society may not be directly related to their religion's stance on the role of women as clergy members.
Kaili Kuiper, Salina senior, gathered the data for the study last semester as a project for her Sociology 310 class, Introduction to Cultural Research.
Kuiper said she decided to see if students raised in a religion that allowed female clergy had more liberal views about women working outside the home. She said she surveyed about 200 people in her classes.
She said her results showed 40.4 percent of students raised in a religion that prohibited female clergy, such as
Methodism, had conservative views about women's roles. However, she also found the percentage of students in that group with moderate views was 36.4 percent.
"I remember being surprised by how many people who started on either extreme ended up with moderate views," she said.
Kuiper's research also showed the percentages of students with liberal views were about the same, regardless of whether their religion allowed female clergy. Students whose religions forbid female clergy classified themselves as having liberal views was 23.2 percent, while 23.6 percent of students whose religions allowed female clergy said the same.
Kuiper's study did not include students who did not affiliate themselves with a religion.
Joey Sprague, the associate professor of sociology who taught Kuiper's class, said she thought Kuiper's project was interesting.
"Being raised in a certain religion gives you a certain way of viewing women's roles," she said. "But we can
engage in debates with our religion and form our own opinions."
Paul Mirecki, associate professor of religious studies, said a person's religion was not necessarily the biggest factor in how they decided his or her views on women.
"More commonly those ideas stem from the culture they are a product of," he said. "Their religion is a part of it, but they interpret that religion in light of their cultural conditioning."
Mirecki said it was difficult to counteract cultural conditioning.
"It's much easier to slide back into old ideas than to come up with your own opinions." he said. "People who do are being very courageous."
Chris Kittle, Leavenworth senior, was raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which does not allow female clergy. Kittle said he thought women should have a good education, but that the most important thing they could do was bringing up children.
Kittle said his views might be considered conservative and repressive, but he thought raising children was a

product of. Their religion is a part of it, but they interpret that religion in light of their cultural conditioning."

very important job and wasn't demeaning to women at all.
Kuiper said the goal of her study wasn't to criticize other people's beliefs.
"I think everyone has a right to be in the religion of their choice, but they should pay attention to the messages they get from their religion and what they say about women," she said.

Panel discusses body image in advertising
By Summer Lewis Kansan staff writer
"The more a woman subtracts, the more she adds."
This language isn't taken from a math or business class; it's the message of an advertisement saying that women should lose weight. The ad was discussed in a film, Killing Us Softly: Part Three, and in a panel discussion last night at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
About 100 people attended the final event of "Celebrate Every Body" week. The film showed how media messages about body shape and size affect the way women feel about themselves and their bodies.
it pointed out that the advertising market has grown from $20 billion in 1979 to $180 billion in 1999. An individual sees an average of 300 ads per day.
A five-person panel of students and eating disorder experts discussed the film and then accepted questions from the audience.
Linda Keeler, psychologist at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said advertisements made a statement about what it means to be a woman in today's culture.
"Advertising sells more than products. It sells values, images, and concepts of normalcy," she said. "It tells us who we are and who we should be."
Advertising tells individuals what the ideal image looks like, Keeler said.
"The idea of an ideal image affects women's self-esteem and how men look at the women they are with," she said. "It turns women's bodies into objects and things, instead of a human being."
Jenny Bambara, Manhattan sophomore, said that she agreed with the film and panel that the media do have a lot of power.
"Most of us like to believe that the media has no effect on our lives," she said. "This film proves that ads can have a devastating impact on women's images in society. Its message was both sad and infuriating."
Sasha Amirahmadi, Moundsview, Minn., freshman, said she was shocked by the evidence that the media used images of men harming women to sell products.
The film, a part of the series The Myth of Perfection; The Impact of Media and Culture on the Way We View Our Bodies, was created by Jean Kilbourne, advertisement analyst.

Support a present or service.
Individuals decide how to experience the media messages encountered. They can choose to use a filter that helps understand what the advertiser wants a person to think or believe, and then the individual can choose to think or believe that message.

Scholarship halls conserving energy during March
By Caroline Boyer
Kansan staff writer
Scholarship hall residents will be turning off their lights and shortening their showers this month in an effort to conserve energy.
Environmental Studies Student Association, Environs and the All Scholarship Hall Council are co-sponsoring a competition between the 10 scholarship halls to see which can reduce water, gas and electricity use the most during the month of March.
Elizabeth Beavers, All Scholarship Hall Council environmental chairwoman, said residents would be encouraged to do things such as turn off unnecessary lights, cut back on the number of loads of laundry and take shorter showers.
'It's just small ways they can change their habits in order to conserve energy," the Ames, Iowa, sophomore said.
A similar competition was held among the sorority and fraternity houses in November. Amy Applebaum, Greek Environmental Board president, said the winning greek chapter was Delta Gamma sorority, which lowered its energy usage by 24 percent.
"We're going to turn it into an annual contest, I think," Applebaum, Overland Park senior, said. "We didn't have a lot of participation because it was the first year, but we think it will be a good thing to do every year."
Unlike the greek competition, the scholarship hall competition does not include heating bills because scholarship halls are heated from the University's steam pipe system.
Scholarship hall utility bills for March will be compared to last month's bills in order to determine the winner, which will receive the Environmental Stewardship Award.
Michael Martin, Environmental Studies Student Association co-president, said the bills in the scholarship halls would be easy to track because the Department of Student Housing could give them itemized bills for each of the halls.
Because the utility bills are paid by Department of Student Housing, the money saved will go into the department budget.
Diana Robertson, assistant director for the department of student housing, said the department had not yet discussed what would be done with the money saved because of the competition. She said the money would likely go towards the scholarship halls and would be available for hall improvements.

I'm appalled that the Student Senate is and has been allocating money for Gay Pride Week. I have no problem with their lifestyle, but I don't think I should have to pay for it.
Hey Eric Borja, I friends who drive hours to come to Lawrence to shop at the independently owned vintage stores and coffee shops, not to shop at the big logos that you can find everywhere else in America.
I don't get it. In the *Kansan* report card you give the Kansas women's basketball team a passing grade. Why, because they play their hearts out? Doesn't that pertain to every women's basketball team? Give them an F for going 10-16. Think about it.
I think that when somebody gives you a big, toothy grin, and a little of their double chin shows, that's the sexiest thing in the world.
This goes out to the single lady calling from the Crossing. I wear Dr. Martens because they're comfortable. It has nothing to do with style, so get some individuality.
To the person who said frats don't rule sports and athletics, I thought sports and athletics were the same thing. I guess that's why we have a higher GPA than the rest of campus.
After four years of college, the only capital T truths that I have found are one, that The Simpsons is the best TV show of all time; and two, Phish is the best band of all time, very underrated.
It's my senior year here, and I'm starting to wonder. When do we start learning stuff that's not already been proved outdated and incorrect?
I'd like to give a shout out to all the perks in the school halls.
This message is to my roommate. Get your act together, and clean up your art crap around our apartment.
Simply put, I love you Brandon.
Eric Boria kicks ass.
The Kansan's just a bunch of tree-huggers
Eric Burja kicks ass.
I was just calling about the comment about John Crider. If the person had been following how well he's playing at Washburn maybe they would realize that he's a great player. Maybe Roy just didn't give him a chance.
This is to the girl who insulted the boys who wear Dr. Martens, I think if you're paying that much attention to the brand names you went out of style in 1994.
Britney Spears is a lot hotter than Anni DIfranco.
Just another day for the cave man and water buffalo breaking up the sack.
To the guys who want the protesters to stop whining, go hug a tree.
I'm glad that somebody else understands the importance of a good caramel machiatta from Starbucks. Eric Borja's article in the paper today rules. Screw the hippies.
I think the University of Kansas should be in the Final Four, because of the fact that they are the best team in the country. They're way better than Duke and Maryland, and also Gooden will be the No.1 player of the year.
I have a Duke note pad. Does that make me a bad person?
This goes out to Ani Difranco and all her adoring fans, this is not a true democracy? Yay, no jeake. It's a republic.
EDITORIAL
Stop by Kansas Union for fellowship,food
It's Thursday afternoon, and you're walking from Budig Hall to the Kansas Union for your last class. You haven't had a bite to eat all day, and even the prospect of Burrito King or Mr. Gatti's leaves you feeling desperate, but there's no time to stop.
After strolling past the onslaught of chain-smokers, you enter the Kansas Union and head toward the elevators — stopping to grab a copy of The New York Times with your KUID. Before you can hop on the elevator something catches your eye — is it reality or illusion? You decide to go check it out.
what you see is nothing short of a miracle — a catering staff standing behind a buffet-style line of tea, hot chocolate, apple cider assorted cookies and various breads.
"Is this free," you ask the uniformed catering staff member,
"Yes." You respond with enthusiasm.
You proceed to bombard the table, devouring several oatmeal raisin cookies before hopping back on the elevator and making it to class in the nick of time. The feeling of satisfaction is overwhelming as you sit in class, and you come to the full realization that the Union has more going for it than meets the eve.
Many people have familiarized themselves with the aforementioned situation, thanks to Student Union Activities's decision last fall to provide free tea and cookies to all visitors. The snacks are available every Thursday from 3 to 5 p.m. on the fourth floor of the Union, and have gained quite a following from the students who flock there weekly to socialize and enjoy a nice hot cup of tea.
These are the types of programs that should be implemented more often by the University — they impact all students and definitely increase the quality of our KU experience. By taking a little time to brainstorm and figure out what students really want, SUA has created something that benefits us all—and they should be applauded.
Next time you're in the neighborhood on Thursday afternoon, stop by and grab a cookie. You might meet somebody new, but most importantly you'll eat for free.

Take all the facts into consideration before being outraged by pet cloning
Last month, Texas A&M University announced it had successfully cloned the first house pet.
COMMENTARY
Dubbed Copycat, or Cc, this miraculous fluff ball took 188 attempts before they got things right. That's right,188 tries. I'm a feline fan, so when they posted Cc's mug on TV, I oled the unbridled cuteness. But along with the images came something else: a toll-free number where people could voice their opinions.
One respondent echoed my initial sentiments and supported the venture. "The world needs more cute kitties and less war!" It was the inevitable backlog, however, that set this flashback in motion. Using logic bestowed from some higher power (or medication), the pundits lashed back with the interesting, "Cloning is bad. We have enough cats in the Humane Society; we don't need to start cloning them now."
P
I'm not crazy about either side of the issue. For me, it's just not something that's up for review. What *is* up for rebuttal and joyful vilification, though, is
Nathan Loukedes opinion@kansan.com
the age-old notion of ignorance.
So hot a topic has cloning been, it was even taken up in those long and exhaustive sessions of Congress. As unbelievable as it might sound, a measure was very nearly put into law after passing the House of Representatives that would place a hiatus on the process of human cloning, coupled with a stiff 10-year prison sentence. You read that correctly: Scientific endeavors in this country once again came under government scrutiny, and more disgustingly, litigation.
Critics might sight the lack of genetic diversity.
but this is precisely what intrigues scientists. Wouldn't it behoove researchers to have genetically identical samples to test vaccines and treatments on specific to the disease they were being used on? As radical and foreign as that might sound, studies show it just might work.
Cloning, it's so unnatural! But what about plant horticulture? isn't the subdivision of a prized chrysanthemum into more chrysanthemum plants cloning? Let's not forget asexually reproducing organisms. Each offspring a genetic replica of the parent, these forgotten sons of asexuality deserve notice as well.
Cloning is natural — or a natural phenomenon, anyway. It's a great disservice when the very idea of cloning is likened to the despicable notions of genetic tampering, animal mutation or female genital mutilation. If the goal of any organization is to be extremist, then try to be a cordial extremist. Barring that, at least get the facts straight.

Students don't need the University to protect them from credit cards
Student Senate approved a ban of credit card vendors on campus last semester. It sounds reasonable that we shouldn't allow credit card companies on campus. Now it is up to Provost David Shulenburger to approve the ban.
COMMENTARY
Senate has a reason for banning credit card solicitors on campus. Some students can generate thousands of dollars of debt using a credit card. It's simple, really. College student sees credit card table on campus, is overcome with temptation, applies for credit card, gets credit card, spends tons of money he doesn't have and becomes thousands of dollars in debt.
But Senate isn't interested in dealing with this problem. Their answer is to simply banish visual reminders of the problem. The provost will be doing students a disservice if he gives in to Senate's request and prohibits credit card solicitors on campus.
Campus is not the only place a student can find a credit card application. Prohibiting these solicitors doesn't protect students at all from credit card debt. I get at least two or three pieces of mail a month from companies urging me to apply for a Visa card and get a free magazine subscription. Certain Web sites are preceded with a pop-up ad
Audrey Snyder opinion@kansan.com
imploring me to sign up for a Discover card and get a gift certificate.
Yet I'm not thousands of dollars in debt to a credit card company. I'm mature enough to recognize that I should not use my credit card to purchase things I can't pay for at the end of the month.
Prohibiting credit card solicitors on campus is meant to protect students from debt. College students are adults and are fully capable of deciding credit card issues for themselves.
Decisions about how much to charge or even whether to apply for a card are issues that adults are able to determine for themselves. One can even choose to put a limit lower than the company's on
his own credit card. The transition into the adult world also means that one needs credit, and the only way some students can build credit is by having a credit card and by using it responsibly.
Senate's role isn't to protect students from real life. Students are adults and in the process of learning how to live in the real world.
This is not to say Senate or KU shouldn't do anything to help ease the transition into the adult world or to educate students about dangers. Senate could sponsor a campaign or a discussion series urging students to use credit cards responsibly and educating them about how to do so.
The responsible way to deal with a potential danger is to gain information about it and to educate oneself and others. The irresponsible way to deal with it is to ban it and to pretend that the problem doesn't exist. Banning a small part of the problem doesn't make it go away.
Senators failed to react appropriately to an uncomfortable situation. I urge the provost to deny the ban of credit card solicitors and teach Senate a lesson about individual responsibility and maturity.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
GAY RIGHTS
Dear editor.
In reply to the column written by Tim Lang opposing same sex marriage, it was the most poorly written opinion I have ever read. Most of the information was based on personal opinion with little facts to back it up.
The facts given were incorrect or not explained fully. It was reported that in Denmark, "28 percent of (gay) marriages have ended in divorce or death." Breaking down the number of the 28 percent gives a
little more perspective to the figure. The divorce rate for lesbians is 16.2 percent and the divorce rate for gay men is 11.4 percent in Denmark. Those rates leave 83.8 percent of lesbian couples and 88.6 percent gay male couples who are still together in marriage.
The results given aren't certain. The Bureau of Statistics in Denmark said the statistical uncertainty of the study was 10 to 25 percent because the study only included Danish nationals, according to the Danish gay

newspaper Pan-Bladet.
Heterosexuality does not make you a strong parent. In Kansas, 53.7 percent of reported divorces involve couples with children. Almost 10 percent of divorces involve couples with three or more children, according to the Kansas office of vital statistics.
And he feels that homosexuals should not be given the same
rights or any "special" rights at all because it was a "privilege" in Denmark. But these rights are not "special." These are the same human rights that he has and that should be afforded to homosexuals for just being human.

Death toll up in Afghan offensive
The Associated Press
SURMAD, Afghanistan — U.S. warplanes pounded al-Qaida and Taliban mountain strongholds yesterday for a fourth day while coalition ground troops searched for pockets of enemy fighters in the rugged, snow-covered terrain. The heavily armed defenders responded with mortars, grenades and machine gun fire.
At least nine Americans have been killed in the offensive — code-named Operation Anaconda — including those killed yesterday when two helicopters took enemy fire. The attack marked the first time U.S. conventional ground troops have been used in an offensive operation.
Taliban holed up in the region.
The code name Anaconda apparently was chosen because the giant South American snake of that name crushes its victims encircled in the muscular coils of its body. The operation was said to be designed to cut off all means of escape for al-Qaida and
In Paris, the French Defense Ministry said French Mirage 2000 and Super- Etendard fighters joined in launch air strikes, attacking al-Qaida targets near Gardez, about 75 miles south of Kabul, the capital.
"In one minute, I counted 15 bombs," Rehmahe Shah, a security guard at the intelligence unit in the provincial capital Gardez, said yesterday.
The offensive, which includes about 2,000 Afghanis, Americans and special operations forces from six allied nations, is the largest U.S.-led ground operation of the five-month Afghan war.
Seven Americans died after a Chinook helicopter, a transport aircraft normally used to ferry special forces troops and supplies, was shot at and crash-landed yesterday.
In a second incident, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said, one American was killed when a helicopter was fired on by a rocket-propelled grenade. He said the chopper made a hard landing and then managed to take off again. The crewman who died apparently fell from the aircraft. A ninth U.S. soldier was killed by mortar fire Saturday.
Roseuddin, an Afghan civilian who was in the village of Shah-e-Kot shortly before the attacks began, estimated the al-Qaida and Taliban force at about 600, commanded by a former Taliban officer, Saif Rahman.
Roseuddin said the al-Qaida and Taliban fighters had been storing provisions for months in anticipation of a bloody siege.
"They told people. 'If you want to leave or stay, it is up to you.' Rosebuddin said.
Neither the former Taliban supreme leader Mullah Mohammed Omar nor al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden was believed to be in the area.
JAMMU, India — Separatist violence in India's region of Kashmir has left at least 17 people dead, Indian security officials said yesterday.
The Associated Press
Indian soldiers killed eight Islamic militants trying to sneak in from Pakistan-controlled Kashmir along the remote frontier, an army spokesman said.
Elsewhere, snipers of Kashmir's largest Islamic militant group killed four policemen in an ambush in Gool, 110 miles from Jammu, the winter capital of India's Jammu-Kashmir state, police said.
Saleem Hashmi, a spokesman for the Pakistan-based Hezb-ul Mujahedeen the largest militant group in Kashmir said in a telephone call to The Associated Press that his group had carried out the attack.
In fighting elsewhere, three militants
were killed in a gunbattle in the Punch area and two in Rajauri, police said.
Islamic militant groups have been fighting since 1989 to separate Kashmir from India. The rebels want all of Kashmir to be independent or to merge Kashmir with Pakistan.
Plainclothes police were fired upon as they patrolled behind a college, said officers in Baramulla, 30 miles northwest of Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu-Kashmir.
The officers said they had heard from the scene that two policemen and two civilians were shot, but could not confirm the reports.
India accused Pakistan of aiding at least a dozen Islamic militant groups fighting in Kashmir. Pakistan said it only supported their cause politically.
The nations have fought two of their three wars over Kashmir. India controls two-thirds of it and Kashmir the rest.

This mark in history books no triumph
On Sunday, Kansas basketball recorded one of its most famous, yet equally infamous feats at the same time.
When the Jayhawks improved their record to 16-0, an unprecedented mark in the Big 12 Conference, Kansas basketball's winning percentage stayed at a mediocre .500 level of play.
Jayhawk basketball is much like the Levi jeans label, but instead of two horses pulling on denim in different directions, Kansas' men's and women's teams are isolated on opposite ends of the win-loss column, separated by a shopping 32 games.
Not only is it an embarrassment, it's the first time such a thing has ever happened in the history of NCAA basketball.
Today, unless Kansas women's coach Marian Washington can sneak assistant coach Lynette Woodard into a Jayhawk jersey,the women's season will come to a train wreck of an ending as five seniors will be remembered only for their horrific record.
This team won't leave a legacy behind like this season's men already have. Instead, just a bunch of dirty box scores that all end the same way — with the first-ever Kansas team to go winless through a conference season, and the first team to finish 0-for in the Big 12.
While the men were perfect, the women couldn't beat a lowly Texas A&M team in its conference home opener.
At least after that game Kansas still had 14 more opportunities to get things right.
It didn't, and things only got worse — much worse.
There is no way a Kansas team should go winless — not in a conference as competitive as the Big 12, not with the tradition at this school, and surely not with a coach like Washington who has won seven conference titles and qualified for the NCCA tournament 11 times.
This season's squad was bad. There were few players with the ability to score and only a couple of legitimate Division I caliber athletes. The thing is, it couldn't have happened in a worse year for Kansas.
Big 12 women's basketball was awesome this season, as seven teams have consistently been ranked in the Top 25. What makes it even worse is that just down the interstate, Kansas State had one of its most successful seasons.
The Wildcats set a K-State attendance mark, had the Big 12 coach of the year and three all-conference selections from the Sunflower state that Kansas missed out on.
While this team deserves criticism, no one should be overly ruthless because few people were supportive of Kansas when they were good. Fans didn't flock to the Fieldhouse for any of the Sweet 16 teams in the 1990s like Kansas State supporters did for its women this season.
Washington doesn't deserve to be fired either. She has a competitive recruiting class coming in next season and the ability to turn this program around like she did in her early years.
This season most likely will be the toughest in Kansas history and the only thing that's left to be said is that seniors Kristin Geoffroy, KC Hilgenkamp, Katie Hannon, Selena Scott, Nikki White and the rest of the Jayhawks never gave up and they held their heads high, representing the crimson and the blue when seemingly the whole world was against them.

'Hawks grab new record
By Ryan Malashock Kansan sportswriter
Sunday's victory at Missouri not only clinched an undefeated Big 12 Conference season for the Kansas men's basketball team, but it also solidified the Kansas basketball program's place in the NCAA record books.
With the Jayhawk men finishing 16-0 in the Big 12, and the Jayhawk women finishing 0-16 in the Big 12, Kansas became the first school in NCAA history to conclude conference play with an undefeated men's team and a winless women's team. The NCAA took control of women's sports in the 1981- 82 season and began documenting records in that year.
According to Gary Johnson, NCAA director of men's basketball records and statistics, Gonzaga University's 2000-01 basketball teams came the closest to the distinction of this year's Kansas squads. The Bulldog men went 13-1 in the West Coast Conference last year, and the Bulldog women finished their conference season winless.
The Kansas men last finished a conference season unblemished in 1970-71 when the Jayhawks won the Big Eight Conference at 14-0. The Jayhawks last ended a conference season 16-0 in the 1922-23 season in the Missouri Valley Conference.
Kansas junior forward Nick Collison said the team's undefeated Big 12 mark this season took him by surprise.
"We really didn't talk about it as much as everyone else did," Collison said. "We really did do a good job of focusing on each game, and we just ended up getting all of them. Honestly, I wouldn't have believed we could have done it if you asked me before the season."
The Jayhawk men's perfect conference season did not occur without its close calls. Kansas trailed late in four of its Big 12 road games, but some clutch performances led to the Jayhawks prevailing.
Senior guard Jeff Boschee's three-pointer with 48 seconds remaining broke a 81-18 tie in Kansas' 88-81 win at Iowa State on Feb. 4.
Texas stretched Kansas into overtime, but the Jayhawks dominated the extra period and won 108-101 in Austin on Feb. 11.
In the Jayhawks' closest call, Kansas trailed by as much as 12 in the second half at

Nebraska on Feb. 24. But freshman guard-forward Keith Langford's game-winning three-pointer in the last minute gave Kansas an 88-87 victory.
The undefeated Big 12 season then concluded with Sunday's climactic 95-92 victory at Missouri.
Kansas men's basketball coach Roy Williams said the unblemished conference record was a result of taking care of everyday business.
"We do feel good about it.
but it's the same thing said this week, that was not our goal," Williams said. "That was not what we were trying to do. We were trying to win the conference. Once it became 15-0, it did become our goal."

school history. Before
this season, the fewest amount of conference victories for a Kansas women's team was five, which occurred in the 1988-89 and 2000-01 seasons.
Though competitive in the first half of some Big 12 games, the Jayhawks did not flirt with many conference victories. Kansas lost all but two of its Big 12 contests by double digits, with its 58-51 loss at Texas A&M and 77-70 home loss to Nebraska as exceptions.
Kansas women's basketball coach Marian Washington said the winless Big 12 mark was a frustrating end to the season.
"No one wants to have that kind of a record obviously." Washington said. "We have some records and they're very good, but you don't want to be a part of

something that is a 'first' in a negative way."
Despite establishing such a negative record, Washington sees positives for the future. The Kansas women's younger players regularly contributed this season, and the team is anticipating the arrival of seven recruits next season.
Washington commended her players for enduring such a tough season.
"If they handle the rest of their lives the way they handled this season, they're going to see a great deal of success," Washington said.

Kansas has close season, players step up in the end
By Brent Wasko
Kansan sportswriter
Watching the Kansas men's basketball team play this season has probably left some fans with fraved nerves.
Although the Jayhawks have continued to dominate their competition, finishing the regular season 27-2 overall and 16-0 in the Big 12 Conference, several games this year have been nailbiters.
The Tulsa, Iowa State, Texas and Missouri games came tantalizing close to upsetting Kansas, but somehow the Jayhawks were able to come up with the big shot or the big stop when it mattered most, prevailing in all four contests.

"We've won close games time and time again. It's not like we're cruising through this thing," junior forward Nick Collison said. "We've had to pull out some games where we haven't played our best and where we needed big plays at the end."
Senior guard Jeff Boschee said winning close games on the road, which the Jayhawks have done a lot of recently, is particularly difficult.

Today's Birthday (March 5).
Should you invest all of your time and talent at work, or spend it on projects at home?
That's one of the big dilemmas you're facing this year. The answer: Everything in moderation. A risky proposition probably won't pay off. A gentle romance could. A difficult household task is a pain, but immensely satisfying when completed.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7.
Make an investment in something for yourself. Putmoney down on that cruise, or new bike, or new car. If you don't have that much to spend, how about dinner out?
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 6.
If in doubt, don't. If your intuition is trying to tell you something, listen. If you feel the urge to step aside and let the rats race right on by, do that. It's wise not to play in traffic.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6. Instead of snapping at an irritating person, practice your deep-breathing exercises. The irritating person may be right.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7.
Better pack a lunch. There may not be
time to go out. Put travel plans on hold,
too. Simplify your schedule as much as
you can. If something goes wrong, you'll
need time to fix it.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 7.
If your love life is encountering difficulty,
maybe you need more time to talk. Pencil
that into your schedule for Sunday.
Meanwhile, listen.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 6.

Dogs, mushers take off on 1.100-mile Iditarod race
The Associated Press
WASILLA, Alaska — Sixty-four muskers and more than 1,000 dogs headed out under a cloudless sky Sunday, beginning a 1,100-mile trek along frozen rivers to Nome, Alaska, in the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.
Sled Dog Rewild
Linwood Fiedler of Willow, Alaska, last year's runner-up, took the early lead, arriving at the Yentna checkpoint at 5:01 p.m. Alaska time and leaving five minutes later. DeeDee Jonrowe, also of Willow, took a 25-minute break and was second out of the checkpoint 42 minutes after Fiedler.
Jon Little of Kasilof, the third musher to start the race and the first into Yentna, took a longer rest. A total of 11 mushers made it to the first checkpoint before 6 p.m.
With the festivities of the ceremonial start behind them, the mushers were focused on the real start, which took place 45 miles north of Anchorage.
Charlie Boulding of Manley, who drew the top starting position, checked his sled bag as he waited for the start, with temperatures in the low teens.
"I always like to get out of here early because of the heat. My dogs aren't used to that," said Boulding, a fisherman and trapper who lives on the Tanana River in Alaska. "If you're leaving vay in the back you're leaving in the heat of the day."
The teams travel up frozen rivers before heading into the Alaska Range. They will have reached the highest elevation of the trail — 3,160 feet — at Rainy Pass, about 200 miles into the race, by late yesterday.
Fans enjoyed the sunshine and watched from lawn chairs as the teams headed out at two-minute intervals on a trail that winds through wooded hills of spruce and birch. More fans were waiting farther down the trail, traveling to the Yentna River on snowmobiles and holding tailgate parties as the mushers pass.
Snowmobiles pose a problem. Last year, a musher was forced to scratch just 25 miles into the race after a snowmobile collided with his dogs, injuring two of them.
"When it gets dark, then it gets dangerous." Boulding said.
Defending champion Doug Swingley of Lincoln, Mont., said snowmobiles could make the first hundred miles tricky.
Norwegian musher Harald Tunheim was at the starting line despite a sprained right ankle that forced him to watch Saturday's ceremonial start on TV while a handler ran his team.
runneim said the injury may make it difficult to keep his balance. Bumps in the trail can require drivers to shift weight from one foot to another while standing on the back of the sled.

HAINES CITY, Fla. — Bill Hohn joked with Kansas City manager Tony Muser at home plate, jogged past the pitcher's mound and took his position in the green grass just beyond second base.
With that simple trot in a spring training game yesterday, Hohn was back in baseball, 2-and-a-half years after losing his job as an ampire.
"It always feels good when you're on a big league field," he said.
Hohn was among 22 umps let go on Sept. 2, 1999, after a mass resignation plan by their union failed. Last week, after lengthy legal proceedings, baseball rehired Hohn, Joe West, Larry Poncino, Gary Darling and Larry Vanover.
Poncino and West worked their first games Sunday.
Sunday.
"I'm just happy to be back umpiring," Poncino said following the Giants-Rockies game in Tucson, Ariz. "Maybe down the line I will have a little something to say."
Along with the sage green uniforms they wear these days, instead of the dark blue and gray of the past, the returning umpires will find other changes.
The National League and American League umpiring staffs have been merged and are run by the commissioner's office, and there's a new umpires union.
There's a focus on calling higher strikes and an emphasis on preventing beamball battles. Even the technology has changed — reports on ejections
are e-mailed, not mailed.
"There are a lot of things that are different," Hohn sadd.
While baseball hopes those troubles do not spill onto the field, former umpires' union president Jerry Crawford acknowledged, "It'll never be the same way as it was before."
Baseball also is aware there's bound to be acrimony. The split among umpires in 1999 caused harsh feelings that may never heal, especially after several umps who lost their jobs went through severe financial and personal problems.
And there are legal battles ahead, particularly over the back pay the umpires are trying to regain. Plus, there are continuing efforts on behalf of Richie Garcia, Eric Gregg and the other umps who are still out of jobs.
Hohn's first regular-season game will be April 1 at Busch Stadium when Colorado plays St. Louis. His crew will include Larry Young, a longtime acquaintance, and two umpires he has not yet met, Bill Miller and Fieldin Culbreth.
On this afternoon, a sparse crowd of 1,298 had no reason to notice the umpires. But Reds catcher Kelly Stinnett, who began his major league career in 1994 and has played only in the NL, thought he spotted someone familiar.
"A lot of the umpires, you know them by face and not by name," he said. "I was looking at one guy, thinking I knew him, but I wasn't sure. Then Marsh said it was Bill Hohn.
"I'm glad those guys are back. They're part of the game and they belong," Stinnett said.

Women Jayhawks seek to stop Longhorns, streak
By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's basketball team lost its record-setting 16th straight game to No. 15 Texas in its final game of the regular season. The Jayhawks will play the national powerhouse again this afternoon for the second time in two weeks — but this time, the stakes are higher.
Kansas (5-24, 0-16 Big 12 Conference) will face the No. 5 seed Longhorns at 2:30 in the first round of the Big 12 Women's Basketball tournament at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Mo. By winning, the No. 12 seeded Jayhawk team could add a small blip of pride to its dreary season, but Kansas coach Marian Washington said she knew how tough a task this would be.
"We've got to figure out how to contain that quickness," Washington said after Kansas' 61-46 loss to the Longhorns last week. "Maybe we've got to get back and really think about more of a half-court approach and try to cut the game in half."
When Texas (19-8, 10-6 Big 12) came to town last week, they met an emotionally charged Kansas team on its senior night. After Stacy Stephen's team led by only two at the break, the Longhorns' player took over and scored 12 of her 16 points in the second half. No Jayhawk was able to stop her on the inside, and Washington said she was worried about the upcoming game.
"The only thing that matters to me is how in the world are we going to stop Stephens," she said.
Kansas senior center Kristin Geoffroy had trouble defending against Stephens during their last meeting at Allen Fieldhouse. But Geoffroy said somehow she had hope for today's first-round rematch against the Longhorns.
"Maybe we'll get a surge of energy and possibly pull out one, maybe two upsets," Geoffroy said. "It doesn't matter who we play but who ever it is, we're going after them."
The 'Hawks are 0-9 while playing a top 25 team this season.
Washington said the team was stalled at the bottom of a ruthless conference.

"It wasn't like we were losing to po-dunk teams—we were losing to very,very fine ball clubs," Washington said.
"The fact is that this conference is the most unreal conference this season with so many teams nationally ranked."
For the second straight year, Kansas' season will not extend to the postseason. Still, Washington billed this season as a mixture of extraordinary talent and bad timing.
"We can be proud of this conference," she said. "It's just tough that we had to be in this situation this year."

Nightline hanging by a thread
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Top ABC executives said they were considering scrapping Nightline in favor of an entertainment program — ideally, CBS's Late Show with David Letterman. Both shows air in the same 11:35 p.m. time slot.
Ted Koppel has been silent publicly about his show's future, and was expected to steer clear of the subject on Nightline yesterday, his first day back after a vacation.
Badly hurt by the almost complete failure of its prime-time entertainment schedule, ABC is looking to make money, and some think a show appealing to young people would help.
The network's news and entertainment divisions also clashed last May when 20/20 was moved from Friday night after 25 years to make way for Once and Again,
an entertainment series that has yet to draw strong ratings.
ABC's entertainment division agreed last month to produce a reality series about the U.S. military in Afghanistan, ignoring objections from the news side, which said that could undermine journalist's efforts to gain access for war coverage.
The network's news division has received pointed messages about its place over the past year from ABC's corporate parent, the Walt Disney Co.
"The news divisions of the networks are far less a part of these giant companies than they used to be," said ex-ABC news correspondent Jeff Greenfield, now at CNN.
ABC News President David Westin, who has not commented publicly, reportedly wasn't told about the Letterman talks until the night before they were revealed in The New York Times.
Ratings for Nightline have been sinking the past few years, but it still regularly outdraws Letterman's Late Show. ABC executives are concerned that Nightline doesn't reach the young audience sought by advertisers.
In his 2000 book Off Camera: Private Thoughts Made Public, Koppel expressed concern about ABC News' place in the Disney empire.
"I truly believe that a network news division falls into a unique and very special category; we're not just another 'budget' or 'cost' center," he wrote. "But I'm increasingly nervous about the prevailing attitude at the network."
Koppel said "there seems to be no particular distinction drawn between the entertainment division and the news division when it comes to responding to the corporation's demand for budget cuts."

But junior forward Drew Gooden came through for Kansas with the pressure on, rebounding a missed jump shot by junior guard Kirk Hinrich and scoring underneath the basket. Gooden's late score was enough to provide Kansas with a 95-92 victory.
Boschee, who played only 15 minutes against the Tigers because of foul trouble, said he was impressed with the way his team stepped up at the end.
"To be able to come in and beat someone on their home court, especially on senior day, says a lot about our team." Boschee said. "We fought hard and kept our poise."
Gooden hasn't been the only player to make a big shot in a close game. Boschee, Hinrich, freshman forward Wayne Simien and freshman guard Keith Langford have all played the role as hero at some point this season.

Hinrich drove the lane twice with under three minutes to play against Tulsa on Dec. 29, helping the Kansas claim a 93-85 victory.
Against Texas on Feb. 11, Simien replaced Gooden, who battled foul trouble, to pump in a career-high 17 points. Kansas won in overtime, 110-103.
Langford drilled a three-pointer with 33 second remaining against Nebraska on Feb. 24. The Jayhawks held on and claimed a 88-87 victory.
"We're averaging 90 points a game, and on any given day, somebody can step up and be an offensive leader," Boschee said. "That keeps us in a lot of games. This team doesn't get beat when someone gets in trouble."

Freshman forward Keith Langford pushes past Fort Hayes' defense. After hitting the game-winning shot at Nebraska, Langford scored 14 points Sunday against Missouri.
"It gives us confidence that when a game comes down to the wire," Collison said. "In the past, my freshman year especially, it was kind of like 'what are we going to do.' Now we feel like we're going to win every game."

ISSUE 107 VOLUME112
Solicitation policy debated
By Sarah Hill Kansan staff writer
Door-to-door campaigning in residence halls by Vision Coalition members this weekend has opened a debate about which campaign strategies are permitted by Student Senate election rules.
The coalition canvassed Lewis Hall on Sunday, asking residents to post the coalition's signs in their windows and, some residents say, putting up material without their permission.
Kristen Zucht, Lenexa freshman and Lewis Hall resident, returned to her fourth-floor room and found a Vision Coalition button on her backpack. Her roommate told her that one of the Coalition members had placed it there.
"I thought it was overbearing and arrogant for someone to put their propaganda on other people's property," Zucht said.
Allison Fine, Overland Park sophomore and Lewis Hall resident, said that the end her room
she and her roommates put the Vision Coalition's posters in their windows, then took them down after the Coalition members left.

"I didn't really mind, but I was like, why are they here?" she said.
Matt Steppe, Vision Coalition presidential candidate and Lewis Hall fifth-floor resident, said he only went to the

rooms of people on the fifth floor of Lewis, and other floors in the hall where other coalition members lived.
"Our campaigning is within the bounds of the election commission," he said. "Since no complaint was filed, this is a baseless charge."
David Mitchell, elections commissioner, said students had 48 hours, or two school days, to report the discovery of a campaign violation to the Dean of Students office.
"Any student who feels the code has been violated can turn in a complaint," he said.
Mitchell said campaign materials were allowed on residence hall doors and windows because they were classified as private property.
Officials from the Department of Student Housing were not available for comment. The Department's handbook "Policies and Procedures" section prohibits door-to-door soliciting without permission by the residence hall's complex director.
Mitchell said the elections commission would have a meeting tonight to discuss general campaign rules and regulations, including door-to-door solicitation.

'Ladies'man learns lessons from sisters
By Adam Pracht Kansan staff writer
Urbauer was the first boy born in his family after four older sisters.
Maybe it's chance. Maybe it's genetics. But people in Nathan Urbauer's family tend to be women.
Urbauer, Frankfort sophomore, said the situation was beneficial in that his sisters helped him relate to women.
"Being and growing up with four older sisters, I'm more in touch with my feminine side, maybe, or my emotions." Urbauer said. "I understand more what girls have gone through, and I respect them more than a lot of people. I was raised like that because my dad was like that. And four older sisters—they beat it into you."

The siblings vary in age by a wide range. The oldest, Lisa Kuenzi, is 35, while Nathan is 20. His 33-year-old sister, Amy Urbauer, said that because of the age difference, they played a major part in raising Nathan. She said that one of the values they tried to give Nathan was a greater sensitivity toward toward women.
"Because we didn't let him treat girls bad, I think Nathan is extremely respectful of women for the most part." Amy Urbauer said. "If he does something that we think is inappropriate, we all jump him."
But the dominance of women in his family extends beyond his relationship with his sisters: Lisa Kuenzi, Amy Urbauer, Shae Santiago and Sara Urbauer.

Stovall visits speaks about budgets, taxes governor race
By Cassio Furtado
Kansan senior staff writer
Attorney General Carla Stovall, who is campaigning to become the next Kansas governor, told a group of 40 KU students last night she was glad she wasn't sitting in the governor's chair right now.
Kansas faces a $426 million shortfall in funding for the fiscal year that starts in July, which will likely bring $15.8 million in cuts to the University of Kansas.
"We are in a horrible budget situation," Stovall acknowledged, adding that this year's legislature would have to make tough choices in order to keep the state running.
But Stovall, who spoke at a meeting of KU College Republicans at the Pine Room in the Kansas Union, said she was optimistic about the situation and said things would turn around, even though she acknowledged the fiscal crisis would last for one or two more years.
Asked if she would back a plan to keep the University of Kansas unharmed by budget woes, she said her priority would be to keep K-12 education intact, adding that the University was not the only college in the state.
Stovall, who told the audience she went to college at Pittsburg State University when tuition was $256 a semester, said universities were in a better position to decide what they should cut on the eve of the state's budget crisis, referring to the University's decision on whether to raise tuition.
"That's not my call." she said. "I just don't know the budget."

Seats, erectile dysfunction may keep bikers in low gear
By Summer Lewis Kansan staff writer
Men who enjoy cycling could be in for a rough ride when it comes to sexual intercourse.
The study found that 80 percent of those using a conventional seat suffered numbness while only 14 percent of those using a new seat became numb. Irwin Goldstein, a specialist of erectile dysfunction with the Boston University Medical Center, conducted the study.
He said in the study that all male cyclists risked erectile dysfunction.
A study released last month revealed that blood flow to a man's penis can be so restricted by riding a bicycle that he can become incapable of an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse.
The study found that the problem lies not in cycling itself but in the seats. It said that men could develop erectile dysfunction after sitting on a hard bicycle seat for many hours because it compressed the area inguines so the ne

Goldstein said that they should consider giving up the sport if they enjoyed sex unless their seat fit them properly.
John Heeb, urologist at the Lawrence urology clinic, said that there were bicycle seats designed to prevent the problem.
Serfas, a manufacturer of biking accessories, designed a seat that shifts the rider's weight off the perineum.
Phillip Smetak, owner of The Bike Shop, 818 Massachusetts St., said the store sold Serfas seats.
"The seats have a split in the center so that no pressure is applied there," Smetak said.

Solicitation policy debated
By Sarah Hill Kansan staff writer
Door-to-door campaigning in residence halls by Vision Coalition members this weekend has opened a debate about which campaign strategies are permitted by Student Senate election rules.
The coalition canvassed Lewis Hall on Sunday, asking residents to post the coalition's signs in their windows and, some residents say, putting up material without their permission.
Kristen Zucht, Lenexa freshman and Lewis Hall resident, returned to her fourth-floor room and found a Vision Coalition button on her backpack. Her roommate told her that one of the Coalition members had placed it there.
"I thought it was overbearing and arrogant for someone to put their propaganda on other people's property," Zuch said.
Allison Fine, Overland Park sophomore and Lewis Hall resident, said that
she and her roommates put the Vision Coalition's posters in their windows, then took them down after the Coalition members left.

"I didn't really mind, but I was like, why are they here?" she said.
Matt Steppe, Vision Coalition presidential candidate and Lewis Hall fifth-floor resident, said he only went to the

rooms of people on the fifth floor of Lewis, and other floors in the hall where other coalition members lived.
"Our campaigning is within the bounds of the election commission," he said. "Since no complaint was filed, this is a baseless charge."
David Mitchell, elections commissioner, said students had 48 hours, or two school days, to report the discovery of a campaign violation to the Dean of Students office.
"Any student who feels the code has been violated can turn in a complaint," he said.
Mitchell said campaign materials were allowed on residence hall doors and windows because they were classified as private property.
Officials from the Department of Student Housing were not available for comment. The Department's handbook "Policies and Procedures" section prohibits door-to-door soliciting without permission by the residence hall's complex director.
Mitchell said the elections commission would have a meeting tonight to discuss general campaign rules and regulations, including door-to-door solicitation.

'Ladies'man learns lessons from sisters
By Adam Pracht Kansan staff writer
Maybe it's chance. Maybe it's genetics. But people in Nathan Urbauer's family tend to be women.
Urbauer was the first boy born in his family after four older sisters.
Urbauer, Frankfort sophomore, said the situation was beneficial in that his sisters helped him relate to women.
"Being and growing up with four older sisters, I'm more in touch with my feminine side, maybe, or my emotions," Urbauer said. "tunderstand more what girls have gone through, and I respect them more than a lot of people. I was raised like that because my dad was like that. And four older sisters—they beat it into you."

Douglas County Sheriff Rick Trapp said the four arrived in an SUV at fire station No. 2, 1941 Haskell Ave., at 12:08 p.m. Monday.
An ambulance took Patricia French to Lawrence Memorial Hospital about 12:15 p.m. She was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
No more details could be released because the shooting is under investigation, Trapp said.

Class project turns profit after sold for thousands
By Caroline Boyer Kansan staff writer
What started out as a project for a journalism media class has turned into a Web site worth thousands of dollars.
The Apartment Department, a site linked through the School of Journalism's Digital Jayhawk Web site, was purchased by the The Lawrence World-World last December. Gary Hawke, Digital Jayhawk operator, couldn't divulge the exact amount of the sale, but said it was in the tens of thousands of dollars. That money will go to the school's endowment fund.
"It's a perfect example of faculty and students working on something that ends up being good for both of them," Hawke said.
The site aides in searching for apartments, sublets and roommates in Lawrence. It allows users to choose a specific monthly rent, apartment complex amenities and apartment amenities.
The Apartment Department was created Fall 2000 for late associate professor John Katich's media management class.
Hawke said the site had hundreds of hits a week.
Ann Brill, associate professor of journalism, said the apartment site was so successful it received funds to continue during the summer. Brill said as the site became larger, a staff shortage made it hard for the Digital Jayhawk to keep up with the Apartment Department. So the staff looked for someone to take it over.
"It seemed such a shame to just not do anything with it," Brill said. "It was a great class project, but it wasn't something that we could manage and promote."
Bernie Re, online journal manager for the Journal-World, said the Journal-World had formed a contract with the Digital Jayhawk to pay for use of the apartment site in monthly installments.
Re said the Journal-World first considered buying the Apartment Department late last summer, and began reworking the site in early December. It had a trial run of the site January 19.
He said the site would continue to run through the Digital Jayhawk until the Journal-World began its monthly payments, which would probably be within the next few weeks. He said the site still had some small glitches that needed to be worked out.
Ryan Duckworth, Lenexa junior and computer science major, has been the programmer for the site for the past year. He thought the site would be more helpful to students searching for apartments now that it had joined with the Journal-World.
"It provides a lot of services that a pamphlet wouldn't be able to provide, and it really narrows down the search." Duckworth said.
The Apartment Department can be visited at www.apartments.lawrence.com.

Senate copy machine misused
Student Senate has found few clues about the 4,000-copy theft
By Sarah Hill Kansan staff writer
The Student Senate executive staff is investigating the theft of as many as 4,000 photocopies made without permission at the Student Senate office two weeks ago.
Anna Gregory, Student Senate communications director, said the theft probably occurred after 9:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 21, after Kyle Browning, student body vice president, locked the door for the night. Senators first noticed that something was wrong when they could not find paper for copies on Friday, Feb. 22.
Diana Rhodes, Student Senate office secretary, said she initially thought 4,000 copies had been made on her copy code but later realized that she might have misread the screen on the copier.
STUDENT SENATE
"I got home and thought about it, and I could have just read the copy machine wrong," she said.
Rhodes said she could not go back to check a specific day on the copy machine, making it impossible to pin down a specific date or number of copies.
Browning, Justin Mills, student body president, Matt Steppe, Student Legislative Advisory Board director and presidential candidate with the Vision Coalition, and Ben Burton, Student Senate executive committee chairman, are the only four Student Senate members who have keys. A fifth key, which used to be in the Hawk Shop for senators to use when the office was locked, has
been missing from the Hawk Shop for several months.
Mills said that the Student Senate office had improved its security since the incident, but there was no way it could completely lock down the office and still allow other groups to use the Senate copy machine.
"If we could make our office as safe as possible, we wouldn't be able to serve all the groups that use our copier," he said.
Mills has checked with the Kansas Union staff about people going in or out of the Union during the time of the theft but has found nothing conclusive.
"We can only look so far," he said. "If there is no proof or evidence, we can't go any farther."

Coalition wants to provide new 'Vision'
By Meredith Carr Kansan staff writer
More student-friendly unions, meal plan revisions, campus safety enhancements and no new student fees are the promises of the Vision Coalition. The coalition had its platform unveiling at 12:50 p.m. yesterday in front of Wescoe Hall.
Vision presidential candidate and St. Joseph, Mo., junior Matt Steppe and vice presidential candidate and Wichita junior Laura Rupe spoke about their platform's issues.
Steppe said the Vision Coalition was inclusive of every student on campus.
"Laura and I have Senate experience from two different
coalitions," Steppe said. "With ideas from both coalitions, every student will be able to identify with at least one platform issue." he said.
Steppe ran with Delta Force
last year,
while Rupe ran with
the Voice
coalition.
Steppe and Rupea all so wanted to
let students know that Vision Coalition was not only about sponsoring and passing bills. Its most important value was working outside of the Student Senate office and meeting places.
STUDENT SENATE elections 2002
"We have a goal outside of
Rupe agreed that putting the students first was most important to her.
Senate to find quality people to represent every student on this campus." Steppe said.
"I think it's important to let the students know that Matt lives in student housing, and I am a member of a sorority, and we want to get opinions of every student on this campus from all different organizations," Rupe said.
The Vision coalition is anticipating having a full roster of 64 senators by the March 13 filing deadline for Senate candidates. The group is still recruiting students to run with the coalition.
"Right now we aren't worried about finding students
within Senate to fill those positions, but looking for quality students outside of Senate," Rupe said.
Other student coalitions include Delta Force, which will have its kick-off party and platform unveiling at 11 p.m. Thursday at The Bottleneck, 757 New Hampshire St. The tentative Smile coalition will also have its kick-off meeting next week and discuss its platform issues with the students. KUnited already had its kick-off meeting last Thursday, but will discuss its platform issues with the students on Monday.

POINT
Keg registration could help regulate underage drinking
The consequences of underage drinking hit home at the University of Kansas during the Fall of 2000.
Students are all too familiar with the story of Sean Scott, whose parents bought him alcohol at the Wheel Cafe, 507 W. 14th St. He went on to drink at a fraternity. Scott, who was underage, killed a Lawrence woman while driving under the influence of alcohol on his way home on Kansas Highway 10.
Underage consumption of alcohol is a serious problem facing lawmakers and educational institutions across the country. According to a 1998 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse, underage drinkers account for 25 percent of all individuals who consume alcohol.
We are all affected every time we read a story or experience first-hand when someone has been hurt or caused harm to another because of alcohol.
With startling statistics and the horrific death rate associated with alcohol, it would only be ideal that the Kansas Senate would pass a bill that would require liquor store retailers to keep track of their kegs and those who purchase kegs.
If approved by the House of Representatives, Senate Bill No. 407 would require retailers to attach plastic registration tags to kegs of beer that have a capacity of over four gallons. Retailers would also have to the collect driver's license numbers of all purchasers.
Because most liquor retailers already require some kind of identification for purchasing a keg, the bill would not make collecting information for retailers a hassle. Retailers might welcome the changes because keg purchasers would be more likely to return kegs.
Law enforcement officers could later review information collected from retailers if a keg is found at a party where those who are underage are drinking alcohol. It would also be a misdemeanor
if a keg does not have a registration tag attached.
The Substance Abuse and Men Health Services Administration Household Survey on Drug Abuse found that alcohol is the number-one youth drug problem, killing 6.4 times more people than all other illicit drugs combined. Alcohol is also a major factor in the three leading causes of teen death: accidents, homicide and suicide.
This bill would specifically target individuals who buy kegs for underage drinkers, holding them accountable if anything should happen. Any preventative steps that can be taken to save the lives of America's youth and the victims of alcohol-related accidents should be welcomed.
While this bill realistically will not stop all underage drinking, it will be a positive step forward in curbing a large problem of underage drinking at keg parties.
COUNTERPOINT

More paperwork won't keep minors from alcohol
The Kansas Legislature is currently debating Senate Bill No.407, better known as the Beer and Cereal Malt Beverage Registration Act. If passed, it would require all Kansas retailers who sell beer in four gallon containers or larger to affix a tag on those containers so as to identify the store that sold them
Consumers wishing to purchase a keg would have to submit their name, address and driver's license number to the retailer and that information would be kept on file at the store for up to six months.
This registration act would be completely ineffective in solving any problems and superfluous when examined with laws currently in existence.
What is this law designed to do? Is it supposed to help retailers conduct business more easily? Obviously not. Recording information from every consumer takes time. On a busy weekend night, time spent in that manner can mean lost profits for the tailor.
Also, potential consumers who don't wish to give complete strangers their personal information will have no choice but to not buy a keg. This is an additional loss of business. More importantly, though, consumers are being forced to compromise their right to privacy just to buy what was their jefal right to buy without all the hassle.
The point of the bill obviously is to curb underage drinking. But how it accomplishes that goal is still a little hazy. Is it trying to punish businesses who sell to minors? There are already laws and regulations that deal with that.
If, instead, this bill is designed to punish retailers because minors ultimately drink from those kegs, that's just ridiculous. It's not the liquor store's responsibility to make sure that an adult doesn't give beer to a minor. It's not their fault if that happens, either.
Whose fault is it? The adult who gave the beer to the minor. Seems self-evident, doesn't it? Yet this bill doesn't seem to help in punishing those people.
If the Kansas Legislature is that gang-ho about targeting retailers, why are we only limiting this bill to kegs? Can't large quantities of liquor also end up in the hands of minors? What about wine bottles? A pack of beer? Why aren't we just tagging everything that gets sold?
Consumers also have a choice on whether they give out their private information. Everyone involved has an option, and this bill is designed to destroy that. It eliminates our freedom in the name of punishing the wrongdoers. The problem is that it doesn't actually help in punishing anybody. It just adds needless complication to a system that works fine as it is.
Finally, many stores already have a registration for kegs. They do this because they want to keep track of their own kegs they rent to customers. But it's their choice to do it.

PERSPECTIVE
Sex column moving up as readers simmer down
Kansan readers have become accustomed to Meghan Bainum.
Or so it seems, as few readers have commented about her sex column in the past two months — except to praise its late-January return. Last semester, many readers offered spirited comments questioning or praising her work.
"Maybe people have gotten a little more used to it," Bainum said. "It's not such a big deal now."
I've read Bainum's writing with interest since last semester, because her provocative column is both fun to read and sometimes gasp-inducing in its frankness. But familiarity has bred comfort — for both readers and writer.
Big deal or not, people outside campus have noticed her. The Associated Press will feature Bainum in an upcoming story. She was interviewed and photographed last month for an article about her, the column and campus response to it.
Bainum didn't even plan on continuing the column. She works as the associate Jayplay editor this semester, and wanted to concentrate on other projects.
But the sex column called.
READERS' REPRESENTATIVE
"It was just my baby a lot more than I thought it was," she said. "And it was something that needed to be handled very sensitively and very maturely."
Indeed, that sensitivity and maturity has become more pronounced this semester. While Bainum sees her work as a continuum, it's seems to me that her column (always responsible in cautioning students to respect themselves and their bodies) has become more tactful.
READERS REPRUSER ANNO
Clay McCuistion cmccuistion@kansan.com
Sex columns this semester have included informative examinations of Kegel exercises and genital piercing, as well as a reflection about the occasional need to take time off from sex. Thought-provoking? Yes. Shocking? Not really.
"I've been taking it easy on people for awhile." Bainum said.
Kimberly Thompson edits the Jayplay
section and introduced the column last semester. Thompson said she believed in the column, and in Bainum.
"She's willing to talk about things that no one else would ever print, even in a college paper," Thompson said.
And that's ultimately Bainum's value to the Kansan. She takes us new places. Sometimes, they're places some students don't want to be — as those students told us last semester.
Ultimately, however, any discussion of the column's "decency" requires me to define what's appropriate. I don't want to do that, because it's impossible, especially for a college audience that runs the gamut from liberal to conservative, radical to reactionary.
This newspaper's job isn't to look at these extremes and formulate some artificial middle ground, designed to offend no one. Presumably, in this middle, Meghan Bainins wouldn't have a voice.
Instead, the Kansan tries to find articulate voices from all sides. Bainum writes for an audience that enjoys her columns as solid advice or guilty pleasure. So far this semester, she's aimed for an even broader audience, and been successful. That means she's less controversial. But she's still Meghan Bainum. And that means the column will continue to provoke.
"Sometimes I have to reign her back in," Thompson said. "But she's raw enough to throw it all out there and see how far she can go."

This is in response to Loral O'Hara's letter claiming that "laws banning abortion would be like laws establishing a collective religion." There are already many laws in the United States that "force" people to protect life, even if it inconveniences them.
Dear editor.
For example, if a bald eagle nests on your property and screeches all night, do you have the right to kill it? No. The life of the bald eagle is valued in the United States, and is protected by law. Likewise, if your newborn child has become a financial burden, do you have the right to kill him or her? No. Although the child is yours, his or her life is protected by law, because our country values every child's right to life. Laws protecting these life forms have not prevented religious freedom.
Unfortunately, although our country has laws protecting the lives of infants and even many animals, the lives of unborn children remain at risk. I hope that someday all individuals will value life, rendering laws prohibiting abortion unnecessary.
Until then, pro-life activists are justified in lobbying for federal laws protecting unborn children's right to life. Human rights apply to all humans, even those inside the womb.

LIED CENTER SPONSORSHIPS
Even more disappointing is to have to listen to a sponsor's generosity become transformed into a blatantly self-serving endorsement of its own products or services. At such embarrassing moments, the Lied Center feels more like a high school auditorium than a concert hall. Surely more appropriate times and venues exist for reciprocating corporate support of the arts than the night of the performance.
One of the joys of going to a concert is that magical moment when the house lights go down and the performers step onto the stage. We are increasingly being deprived of that feeling at the Lied Center by a series of announcements and speeches praising the sponsors of the event.
Dear editor.
It is difficult to criticize the Lied Center without recalling D.H. Lawrence's assessment of Sigmund Freud — that half a loaf is better than no bread at all. Indeed, we have come a long way since musicians of the London Symphony Orchestra fainted from the heat of Hoch Auditorium and vowed not to return unless we had a new facility; but please, bring back the magic.

University officials interview four candidates for technology coordinator
By Mike Gilligan Kansan staff writer
Technological issues like bandwidth and online enrollment will have a new voice next year.
Four candidates are being interviewed to fill the new position, Associate Vice Chancellor for Information Services, which will help coordinate computing and technology on campus.
Donna Liss, director of information systems at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, visited the campus Feb. 27 and Feb. 28. Three more candidates will visit the campus before spring break.
Each of the candidates will visit Lawrence for two days and attend a series of meetings, said Greg Freix chair of the Associate Vice Chancellor for Information Technology Services Search Committee.
Each candidate will also give a public talk followed by a question and

answer session. Reix, also director of information technology for the School of Business, said Liss talked about her experiences at Nebraska, having implemented touch-tone registration and then online enrollment.
Andy Knopp, Manhattan sophomore, student senator and student representative for the search committee, said most of the people at the public session were faculty from information services.
"They asked questions about systems she has used and programs she would like to use," he said. "She sounded like someone who was interested in working with the students. She has experience in online enrollment and that's something we are well on the way to implementing here."
Knopp said online teacher evaluations were another issue she was interested in.
Freix said the search committee received between 200 to 250 applications for the position and began looking at resumes in November.
UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATION
The search committee narrowed the field to four candidates, looking for people with broad experience, Freix said.
"The four people coming to campus are top-notch," he said. "There are excellent candidates who didn't even make it to the last four."
Marilu Goodyear, vice chancellor for information services and chief information officer, said the position was a new variation of the old Director of Academic Computing position. The new position will combine it with the job of the Director of Administrative Computing.
In the past, there were separate managers for administrative and academic computing.

"The idea is for one manager to integrate the two departments," she said.
Goodyear said the candidate that was chosen would be involved in computing issues like e-mail, admissions and tools for research and instructions in classrooms.
The three other candidates are Harvard Townsend, director of computing and network services at Kansas State University, who will visit campus March 7 and 8. Larry Rapagnani, assistant provost for information technologies at Notre Dame, will visit March 12 and 13, and Bahram Nassersharif, department head of mechanical engineering at New Mexico State University, will visit March 14 and 15.
Students are encouraged to attend the candidate's question and answer sessions. Times and locations of these sessions will be posted on the department's Web site, www.ku.edu/~vcinfo/.

New rural doctors could become rare commodities
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Rural hospital officials say their struggle to recruit doctors to sparsely populated communities will worsen under a federal agency's decision to stop seeking waivers that allow foreign physicians to remain after their training in the United States.
At issue are visas for foreign students who come to the United States for graduate medical study. The so-called J-1 visas require these physicians to return home for two years when they complete training as residents or fellows, but the government often waives the requirement when physicians agree to work in rural or urban areas where physicians are in short supply.
The government frequently grants waivers at the request of federal agencies, primarily the U.S. Department of Agriculture. But last week, USDA officials abruptly decided to drop their involvement in the program, even for waivers the agency had been considering since last fall.
"I understand the USDA's concern.
Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback appealed this week to Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman and other Bush administration officials to reconsider.
but I don't see any reason for changing the program, given how well it has worked," Brownback said yesterday. "I hope it can be handled administratively. If not, we will go the legislative route and pursue this in an appropriations bill.
troublesbim
"Ithink we'll have a pretty receptive audience through the appropriations route, as there are a number of rural states impacted by this decision by USDA," Brownback added.
The news is especially alarming to rural hospitals that have failed to lure American doctors and now are trying to hire foreign physicians. For example, William Newton Hospital in Winfield, Kan., has been trying since August to find a primary care doctor for a clinic in nearby Chautauqua County in southeast Kansas.
"We've advertised, and you just can't get a non-]-1 physician to apply for a position like that," said Danny Huckvale, the hospital's assistant administrator. "There's not a lot of things going on in Sedan, Kansas"
Clinics in Chautauqua and neighboring Elk County, areas among poorest in Kansas, saw more than 6,000 patients last year but right now have only one physician. The hospital is ready to hire a board-certified physician from India who has finished a residency in Wichita and a fellowship at
NATION NEWS
the University of Kansas Medical Center.
"We've had the waiver application sitting on the USDA undersecretary's desk for months, approved, waiting for a signature," Huckvale said. "They said all the applications that were pending or in the works are going to be returned, and that's not good. They didn't notify anybody — they sent out an e-mail to our attorney, is how I got it."
As of yesterday, USDA still had not issued any notice of its decision. But the e-mail, obtained by The Associated Press, advised immigration lawyers that USDA was withdrawing from the program, effective last Thursday.
"As a result of its program review, USDA has come to the conclusion that while the program served valid and important purposes, the benefits of USDA's involvement are clearly outweighed by potential problems and risks," the message read.
Department spokeswoman Alisa Harrison pointed out the agency does not issue visas. USDA makes a recommendation, which goes to the State Department's waiver review division. The Immigration and Naturalization
Service issues final waiver approval.
"Putting all of the program into INS is probably the more efficient thing to do," Harrison said. She could not provide further information about the agency's rationale.
INS officials did not immediately return phone calls seeking comment, and a State Department spokesman was unfamiliar with the decision.
Sylvia Tigemeyer, who chairs the Missouri-Kansas chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, said hospitals in the two states have a handful of waiver applications pending for foreign physicians who have agreed to work there.
State health departments can also seek the waivers, but each state is limited to 20 waivers each year, and those slots tend to fill quickly with requests from inner-city urban hospitals. Pending legislation would double the number of state-requested waivers, Titgemeyer said, but that can't match the hundreds of waivers requested through USDA.
"There's going to be a lot of fallout," she said. "These are people who have been recruiting for a long time to find doctors, and now everything's out of kilter."
Bush, Mubarak call for end to Mideast violence
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Bush and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak searched yesterday for solutions to the spiraling violence in the Middle East, with Bush emphasizing the need to stop Palestinian attacks on Israelis while Mubarak demanded that Israel ease up on the Palestinians.
Bush said peace in the Middle East was "only possible if there is a maximum effort to end violence throughout the region, starting with Palestinian efforts to stop attacks on Israel."
norms and customs." "Nothing can be achieved through violence or resolved by force," the Egyptian said.
Mubarak, for his part, called for an end to forceful Israeli military tactics such as demolishing Palestinian homes and closing roads.
Bush also spoke favorably of a
WORLD NEWS
Saudi Arabian proposal, which would offerIsrael peace, trade and security in exchange for the land the Arabs lost in war, and of Mubarak's offer to be the host for talks between Yasser Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
Israeli officials have said they are eager to go to the Arab kingdom to follow it up with talks, but the Saudis are discouraging such discussions
Asked about that disagreement, Bush came down squarely on Israel's side. He praised the Saudi "vision" of peace and said he supports those who "are trying to look at what it means."
Mubarak, who wants to play a middleman role in peace efforts, criticized only Israel for the current crisis. Bush directed his call for an end to violence
to the Palestinians.
Mubarak said of the Israelis, "The closure of roads, the siege of towns and villages, the demolition of houses, the collective punishment that make progress more difficult should stop."
Speaking of the growing violence Bush said officials in both the United States and Egypt "view this situation with great alarm."
"We're both determined to redouble our efforts to work for peace," Bush said, referring to himself and the Egyptian president.
In Jerusalem, Israeli officials let it be known Sharon considers a meeting with Arafat useless while Palestinian attacks against Israelis continue. Mubarak said he would not meet with Sharon unless Arafat attended as well.
"We both feel deep sympathy for the people in the region who are trying to live their lives in peace." he said.
"Nothing can be achieved through violence or resolved by force."
Hosni Mubarak Egyptian president
In a speech before he met with Bush, Mubarak said the United States and Israel must deal with Arafat as the leader of the Palestinian people. "It is a great mistake to think otherwise," he said.
Without referring to Israel directly, he said "land was occupied by force" and an entire population denied its right to nationhood.
Pharmacist plea could hamper related lawsuits

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The guilty plea by the pharmacist who diluted cancer medication is likely to bolster drug companies' defense that Robert R. Courtney is solely responsible, a legal scholar said.

NATION NEWS
Pharmaceutical giants Etol-Myers Squibb are defendants in roughly 200 lawsuits filed in Jackson County by the druggist's former patients.
At a hearing here tomorrow, the companies will seek dismissal of the lawsuits, which allege they should have done more to stop their medicine from being diluted.
"The drug companies can point to the pharmacist and say he caused this," said Nicolas Terry,
Courtney, 49, pleaded guilty last week to 20 counts of tampering with and adulterating or misbranding the drugs Gemzar and Taxol, made by Lilly and Squibb, respectively. Earlier, he said he did it because he owed about $1 million in taxes and a pledge to his church.
law professor and director of the center for health law studies at Saint Louis University. "If someone intends to do harm there's little that someone else can do to prevent it."
But Michael Ketchmark, an attorney handling 173 of the lawsuits, said Courtney's admission made his case stronger because Lilly and Squibb had been arguing he couldn't prove any dilutions beyond the eight listed in the pharmacist's indictment.
In the guilty plea, Courtney admitted to diluting medications 158 times for 34 patients.
"Missouri law poses a duty on a drug manufacturer to warn about any tampering of their products that they know about or should have

about or should have known about." Ketchmark said. "The whole question focuses on whether (Lilly and Squibb) knew or should have known. The answer is a resounding yes."
Lilly and Squibb each buy 165 million records per month tracking drug sales, giving them all they needed to determine what Courtney was doing. Ketchmark said.
Beyond the sales database, he said Lilly knew that Courtney was allegedly diluting drugs in early 2000 but failed to tell anyone.
Lilly sales representative Darryl Ashley reported a discrepancy in those drug-sales records and triggered the investigation that led to Courtney's arrest last August.
Lilly has denied that it knew about the dilutions, saying the sales discrepancy merely alerted Ashley to take a closer look.
A spokesman for New York City-based Squibb declined to comment.
Jeff Newton, spokesman for Indianapolis-based Lilly, said the lawsuits are baseless.
"The issue here is Robert Courtney and the horrible thing he did." Newton said. "We're already a heavily regulated industry, and I don't think additional regulation is the answer here. What he did is a very isolated incident."
Terry said the companies' argument was "not bulletproof but it will reduce the settlement value of the case."
Ketchmark said his clients weren't after cash settlements. They want the drug companies to make it harder for pharmacists to tamper with their drugs, he said.
then drugs, he said.
Even so, a dismissal of the claims against deep-pocketed Lilly and Squibb would significantly decrease the money available to compensate the hundreds who say they are victims — and to pay fees for Ketchmark and other attorneys.
Only Courtney's pharmacist's insurance would remain as a target of the lawsuits, which also name the druggist and his business as defendants.

GARDEZ, Afghanistan — Hundreds of Taliban and al-Qaida fighters were killed in fierce fighting yesterday as U.S.-led coalition forces pressed their offensive in the rugged mountains of eastern Afghanistan, the American commander said.
"We caught several hundred of them with RPGs (rocket-propelled grenades) and mortars heading toward the fight. We body slammed them today and killed hundreds of those guys," said Maj. Gen. Frank L. Hagenbeck, the commander of the operation near Gardez, 75 miles south of Kabul, the capital.
U. S. forces in the region said as many as 800 opposition fighters had been seen moving toward the battle since the American-led operation was launched on Saturday.
U. S.-led forces continued inching up the snow-covered mountains, meanwhile, trying to reach hideouts still believed to contain hundreds more al-Qaida and Taliban fighters. Some forces entered at least one cave complex, uncovering weapons caches.
Allied jets flew high over Pakia province, dropping bombs as well as decoy flares to ward off heat-seeking missiles — defensive measures after two U.S. helicopters were hit Monday in incidents that left seven U.S. soldiers dead.
Front-line commander Abdul Matin Hasankhiel said hundreds of Afghan and coalition forces have ringed the mountain range and trapped the al-Qaida and Taliban fighters higher up.
"They can't escape. They're surrounded. Slowly, slowly we are pushing in," he said.
Hundreds of al-Qaida and Taliban fighters are believed to be holed up in the area, Brig. Gen. John Rosa told reporters at the Pentagon. Bombers and tactical aircraft have dropped more than 450 bombs on the area since the assault began Friday night, he said.
"We've been able to get into at least one of the cave complexes thus far and we've discovered mortars, rocket-propelled grenade rounds, small arms. And in a different location we found more weapons and ammunition, as well as foreign driver's licenses and foreign passports," he said. He did not say whether there was resistance entering the cave complex.
One fighter, Nawab, who returned from a front-line position yesterday, said about 50 U.S. special Forces were fighting alongside Afghan soldiers at his position about 21/2 miles from Shah-e-Kot, the village that is the focus of the largest U.S.-led coalition air and ground operation in Afghanistan to date.
Mine sweepers were leading the way, clearing the paths along the snowy mountains. Attack jets circled overhead and pounded al-Qaida positions while Chinook helicopters ferried in supplies. A powerful fleet of aircraft
— including A-10s, F-15s, B-1s,
B-52s, AC-130 gunships, and
French Mirage 2000 and Super-
Etendard aircraft — was participating
in the assault.

The blitz was concentrating on a 60-square-mile area south of the provincial capital. Gardez.
Nawab said fighting was less intense than in previous days. The militants were equipped with heavy artillery, anti-aircraft weapons, mortars, cannons and machine guns.
U. S. officials said yesterday the United States had observed al-Qaida forces reoccupying several former training camps in the region that were bombed earlier in the war.
"Inshallah (God willing) in three or four days they will be finished." he said.
"We don't know how long it's going to take, but we'll be there until the al-Qaida and Taliban forces are totally uprooted," said Gunnery Sgt. Charles Portman, a spokesman at the U.S. Central Command in Tampa, Fla.
The eight American servicemen killed in Afghanistan were honored in Germany before their flag-draped caskets were flown back to the United States. A C-17 transport jet brought the men's remains to Ramstein Air Base and was met on the tarmac by a U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force honor guard for the somber ceremony under cloudy skies in the wooded hills of western Germany.
"We should make sure these very brave people who lost their lives did not do so in vain," British Prime Minister Tony Blair said yesterday, calling for the world to redouble its efforts to stamp out terrorism.
Neither the former Taliban supreme leader Mullah Mohammed Omar nor al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden was believed to be in the Shah-e-Kot area, but Afghans say hundreds of their supporters and their families are there.
Governor vetoes criticizes Senate redistricting bill
The Associated Press
TOPEKA—Gov. Bill Graves singled out proposed changes in Johnson and Shawnee counties for criticism yesterday in vetoing a bill redrawing the 40 districts of the state Senate.
In his veto message to legislators, Graves said the proposed lines for Johnson County ignored "communities of interest" there. The bill added a seventh Senate district to the county to account for its population growth over the past decade.
The bill would have split the 11th District, represented by Sen. John Vratil, R-Leawood, along Kansas 50, creating a new district to the south.
Graves said the plan separated Vratil from too many of his constituents "for no apparent reason."
Other critics have suggested the new boundaries were drawn so that a conservative Republican would win the new Johnson County seat.
But Sen. Kay O'Connor, R-Olathe, who drew the lines, said
the bill gave rural southern Johnson County residents a chance to elect a senator.
A rival plan would have created the new district out of the western half of Vratil's existing district, extending both from suburban areas south into rural areas.
In Shawnee County, Graves' chief concern was an affluent central Topeka neighborhood, Westboro.
The vetoeed bill would have moved Westboro out of the southwest Shawnee County district it shares with other affluent areas into a district with rural Shawnee and Wabaunsee counties and poorer neighborhoods in north Topeka.
Graves said putting such diverse areas in the same district would "alienate citizens" from traditional communities of interest.
Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka, replied: "The second map that we want to pass will take care of that quite easily."
Church settlement reaches $30 million
The Associated Press
The settlement was expected to be completed yesterday, the newspaper said, citing unidentified sources.
Mitchell Garabedian, the plaintiffs' attorney, said Monday, "No documents have been signed. We don't even have a final draft."
The Globe said the tentative agreement was reached Monday, after 11 months of negotiations. It will still need the signatures of all 86 plaintiffs and the 17 defendants, including Cardinal Bernard F. Law.
A call to archdiocese spokeswoman Donna Morrissey was not immediately returned. She told the Globe that the church
wants a "fair and equitable agreement as soon as possible. And we want to do what's right for the victims."
The 86 plaintiffs would get an average of $232,000 to $348,000 each, with an arbitrator deciding the amount in each case. The church has already paid an estimated $15 million to 100 alleged Geoghan victims since the mid-1990s.
Geoghan was sentenced to nine to 10 years in prison last month for groping a 10-year-old boy in a swimming pool, and faces two more criminal trials. He has been accused of molesting more than 130 children in six parishes over 30 years.
Besides the pending lawsuits against Geoghan, 48 claims are pending against other priests in the Archdiocese of Boston, which has come under fierce criticism for moving Geoghan from parish to parish after learning of the allegations against him.
Bush places heavy tariffs on steel imports
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Bush slapped hefty tariffs of up to 30 percent on a range of steel imports yesterday, suggesting it would help ailing U.S. steelmakers get back on their feet. The action could raise prices on products including cars and appliances and drew sharp criticism from U.S. trading partners.
Bush stopped short of giving the industry the 40 percent across-the-board tariffs it sought and declined to support an industry-proposed $10 billion bailout of pension and health care benefits for retired steelworkers whose companies have gone bankrupt.
Still, his three-year package was generally applauded by both the steel industry and its workers.
"It's some light at the end of a very dark tunnel," said Leo Gerard, president of the United Steelworkers of America.
Acting on long-running complaints from domestic steel producers and steelworkers' unions, Bush imposed a three-year plan of tariffs of 8 percent to 30 percent on imported steel, depending upon the type.
He said his decision would "help give America's steel industry and its workers the chance to adapt to the large influx of foreign steel."
"The U.S. decision to go down the route of protectionism is a major setback for the world trading system," European Union Trade Commissioner Pascal Lamy said.
Asked about the prospects of trade wars over his actions, Bush told reporters that international trade rules permitted such temporary tariffs to protect battered
Foreign steel exporters immediately protested.
He told reporters the EU would challenge the decision before the World Trade Organization.
industries.
"We're a free trading nation, and in order to remain a free trading nation we must enforce law. That's exactly what I did," he said. Bush said steel imports "were severely affecting our industry, an important industry."
The plan exempts four countries with whom the United States has free-trade agreements — Canada, Mexico, Israel and Jordan — and many impoverished nations. Nations hit hardest by the tariffs include China, Japan, South Korea, Ukraine and Russia.
Steel prices are at a 20-year low and more than 30 U.S. steel mills have filed for bankruptcy protection in the past four years.
Bush and running mate Dick Cheney courted steel workers in the 2000 election, saying they would not forget about them—and implying that President Clinton had.
Steel-producing states like West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania are also important in next fall's congressional elections and in the 2004 presidential contest.
Bush urged U.S. steel companies to take advantage of the "temporary safeguards" and restructure their industry. The tariffs take effect March 20.
House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt, D-Mo., accused the president of not going far enough to help the industry and steelworker unions. "The situation remains dire," he said. But Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., called it a good move that balances the concerns of competing interests. The plan imposes a 30 percent tariff on slab steel, the country's biggest import, but only after the first 5.4 million tons are imported.
The decision could devastate the Port of New Orleans, which depends upon steel for about 45 percent of its annual import business, said Gary LaGrange, the port's director.

His mother, Nancy, grew up with four sisters, and his father, Dewey, grew up with three younger sisters.
The trend is even extending to the next generation. Seven months ago, his sister Lisa Kuenzi gave birth to quadruplets — three girls and one boy. The boy, Charlie, is Urbauer's only newhew among seven nieces.
Even though he has a better understanding of women than most men, women still baffle him sometimes, Urbauer said. And though he enjoys being single, he said that he feels a need to be in a relationship.
"I'm a sucker for girls," he said. "I've always had them around. I would love to have friends who are just girls who I could hang out with, but for some reason I can't seem to find that."

single now after a breakup last October.
However, Urbauer said that he would keep trying. Because he was an athlete in high school, he thinks of relationships in similar terms.
"Approaching girls is like baseball hitting," he said. "Great hitters hit 30 percent. So if you go up to ten girls and make a connection with three out of the ten, that's amazing."
Urbauer said that family was an important part of his life and that he tried to help them any way that he could.
For example, he volunteered to take one niece to and from preschool every day for his sister Amy. His mother said he even remembered her on Valentine's

Day.
Though the relationship between Nathan and his sisters is now positive, his mother said that there were times of sibling rivalry, especially with Sara Urmbauer, the next oldest at 23.
Nancy said that the arguments were sometimes heated.
"They fought like cats and dogs at certain times," she said. "I was afraid to leave them together in the same room."
But the entire family is very close now, Nathan said. He said he was glad to grow up in a home filled with women.
"If I didn't have four older sisters, I would have been completely different," he said. "I know that right now, and I'm glad i did."

STOVALL
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Stovall also said she didn't know whether she would support Chancellor Robert Hemenway's plan to make the University one of the top 25 public universities in the country.
"I don't know how much money it will require," she said.
Stovall said she backed an increase in cigarette taxes that would bring the state more than $111 million per year. The increase would make each pack 65 cents more expensive.
Stovall was reelected as Attorney General in 1998 with more than 76 percent of the vote. She said she considered leaving public life after serving two terms as attorney general. The Sept. 11
attacks made her rethink her decision.
"Maybe it's not time to leave government yet," she said.
Stovall will likely face fellow Republicans Tim Shallenburger and Bob Knight and Democrat Kathleen Sebelius in the race for the governor's seat. Shallenburger is the state treasurer and Knight is the mayor of Wichita. Recent polls show Stovall easily defeating her likely adversaries.
Sebelius is the state's incumbent insurance commissioner, Knight is the mayor of Wichita and Shallenburger is the state treasurer.
Stovall called herself a "modern Republican" and said she was the only Republican candidate who had a chance to win a race against Sebelius.
"Another Republican would lose," she said.
The last time Kansas elected a Democratic governor was 1990 when the late governor Joan Finney was elected.
Stovall also used the meeting to justify her decision to still pursue the Microsoft antitrust case. She is one of two Republicans and nine attorney generals still pursuing the lawsuit nationwide.
Recent campaign finance reports show that Stovall received between $14,000 and $20,000 in contributions from companies and individuals fighting software giant Microsoft, but she said she was doing it because it was the right thing to do.

Sunday's game a glimpse into 'Hawks' future
I've seen the future of Kansas basketball, and I'm happy to say, it looks very bright.
The future of this program is definitely something to be excited about,but don't take my word for it. You saw it yourselves Sunday.
With Drew Gooden practicing a Houdini-like disappearing act and Jeff Boschee stuck on the bench with foul trouble, the Jayhawks were forced to win without their All-American and alltime leading three-point shooter. Sure, both players played and contributed some key buckets, but with Gooden going almost 25 minutes without scoring and Boschee spending just as long on the bench, Kansas was a different team.
It was almost as if the ticket stubs read March 3,2003,and this was the final game of next season.Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich rose to the occasion,just like battle-tested seniors would, and Keith Langford provided a lift as well-an effort far greater than what you'd expect from a first-year player.
Now this was no perfect window into the future, as Aaron Miles and Wayne Simien both still looked like freshmen, but you've got to admit that in many ways Sunday's game was a glimpse of what's to come for Kansas fans next season.
Let's start with Collison, who was hitting clutch shots from the field and draining free throws like never before. It's no secret that if one player has been over-shadowed by the phenomenal season of Gooden, it has been Nick. But with Drew in a funk, opportunity came calling on Sunday and Collison responded in a major way. For the first time this year, Nick was the big man on campus.
Hinrich was also great, showing poise beyond his years and turning in a performance that has become quite common this season and will likely be the norm next year. Hinrich tallied 25 points and added nine rebounds, the kind of effort that keeps me thinking he'll be the first Jayhawk to ever record a triple-double - a feat he'll likely save for his senior campaign.
Then there was Langford, a guy who still has that pesky "Fr." next to his name on the roster even though we all know the moment he hit that game-winning shot in Lincoln, he achieved a sophomore's status. Langford showed fearlessness not only around the perimeter, but especially in driving to the basket. Like we've seen many times before, his acrobatic attacks at the rim paid huge dividends for Kansas.
Collison, Hinrich and Langford were all able to elevate their games in the absence of Gooden and Boschee,a trick the trio will definitely have to master next season.
If Gooden does indeed go pro this year, the Jayhawks will be losing 38 percent of their scoring based on him and Boschee alone. Those two will be sorely missed, but their departure will leave Collison and Hinrich with more shots and Langford with more playing time.
While it will definitely take more than just the Iowa boys and their new musketeer to fill a void that big, if Sunday's any indication, it's clear skies and a bright future ahead for Kansas.

Washington gains support
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
Five seniors on the Kansas women's basketball team gave their farewell speeches at Allen Fieldhouse on Feb. 26. Each player thanked her parents, the fans and coach Marian Washington for their support.
Washington embraced the seniors, starting with K.C. Hilgenkamp and ending with Nikki White, then walked off the court smiling.The five seniors knew it was their last game in Lawrence.
(1)
After suffering the first 0-16 Big 12 Conference season to date, speculation about Washington's job security undoubtedly surfaced. Following the Jayhawks' 63-61 loss to Texas yesterday, Washington claims she's receiving full support from Al Bohl, athletics director — and she couldn't be happier.
And now, Washington knows that it won't be hers.
"I'm so pleased that he has a lot of confidence in me," she said. "It's very important to any coach to have the university and the administration behind you."
Women's basketball coach Marian Washington shouts advice to her team toward the end of the last game yesterday.
Bohl's brief history as athletic director may have been discomforting. He was quick to dismiss football coach Terry Allen after the team was assured of a losing season last fall.
LAURIE SISK/KANSAN
Although Bohl could not be reached for comment, he has said that he hoped to see every program in the Top 25 — a goal that might be a few years away for the women's basketball team.
This season was, for the most part, a season to forget. Washington said that the rebuilding of an usually successful program couldn't have come at a worse time.
There is truth in Washington's statement. Seven Big 12 teams are among the Top 20 in the country. Since their last victory over Morgan State on Dec. 29, the Jayhawks had lost 17 games. Eleven of the losses were to ranked teams.
"We were losing to very,very fine ball clubs. It seemed like every game we were playing a nationally ranked team," she said.
The unanticipated success of in-state
rival Kansas State didn't help matters. after going 12-16 overall, and 2-14 in The Wildcats have a 23-6 record, and finished 11-5 in the Big 12 one season SEE WASHINGTON

At a point when all seemed hopeless and nothing was left to say, the Kansas women's basketball team played with a shocking sense of pride and character at the Big 12 Tournament yesterday in Kansas City, Mo.
The Jayhawks, playing against No. 13 Texas (20-8, 10-6 Big 12 Conference) for the second time in two weeks, amazed everyone in a thrilling 63-61 loss in the first round game.
Trailing by only three points with fewer than 20 seconds left, senior K.C. Hilgenkamp launched a three that just barely rimmed out. Sophomore Sharonne Spencer grabbed the rebound and was fouled as she stuck the ball in the basket, closing the gap to one point. After a Texas timeout, Spencer missed the extra point attempt and finally brought Kansas' woeful season to an end.
Sophomore guard Leila Mengic drives the baseline against Texas forward Kala Bowers during the first half of the Jayhawks 63-61 loss.
"When you see how we played today, it makes you question why couldn't we play like that all season," senior Selena Scott said. "We laid it all out there today, and that's what we should have done every other game that we had."
Scott powered the Jayhawk defense, grabbing seven steals and forcing numerous Longhorn turnovers. She ended with 16 points, four rebounds and four assists, while Hilgenkamp scored a team high 17 points, including three three-pointers.
"It was pretty classic. A team that played not to lose and a team that had nothing to lose," Texas coach Jody Conradt said. "We got off to a real shaky start, and it was real difficult for us to ever get into a flow, and in the meantime, they were shooting very well."
At times in the first half, Kansas didn't look like
an 0-16 team.
With seven minutes to go until halftime, Scott and Hilgenkamp finally began clicking together. With these two seniors scoring two strings of back-to-back buckets, the 'Hawks built a 28-14 lead.
Then Texas woke up.
The Longhorns went on a 16-6 run to close the opening half, led by freshman Kala Bowers, who scored five unanswered points in 30 seconds. During this span, Kansas did not score for more than four minutes and let the shot clock expire twice.
Still, Longhorn players and coaches alike were

Associated Press names Gooden Player of Year
The post-season awards keep coming for Drew Gooden.
One day after being named a First Team All-Big 12 Conference player and a member of the NABC All-American team, the Associated Press made the Big 12's leading scorer — 20.6 ppg — and rebounder 11.1 ppg the conference's Player of the Year.
"I'm really excited about being
"I'm really excited about being named the player of the year," Gooden said. "As far as individual goals, that was my main one in conference play. I have to give credit to my teammates, coach Roy Williams and my family for their support, because if it wasn't for all of them, I wouldn't be player of the year."
Williams said the award was
JONATHAN
Gooden
Williams said the awards were extra-special because of the frustrations Gooden had as a freshman trying to adjust to college basketball.
"Drew Gooden, I think, is very deserving," Kansas' coach said. "I think he had a phenomenal year. During a couple of stretches he played as well, if not better, than any player I've ever had."
The junior forward has hinted on a few occasions that he will declare for the NBA Draft after this season, but has repeatedly said he will make his final decision after the season.
Gooden is the first Kansas player to win the award since Raef LaFrentz in 1998.

Big teams, players to compete this weekend
By Doug Pacey and Brent Wasko Kansan sportswriters
A lot can happen this weekend at the men's Big 12 Conference tournament at Kemper Arena, Mo.
Kansas will try to win 19 conference games without a loss, and Oklahoma wants to repeat as tournament champions. Missouri is fighting to secure a spot in the NCAA Tournament, and Bobby Knight's upstart Red Raiders are poised to make a run through the tournament.
Here are capsules for each Big 12 school and their chances in the conference tournament.

Kansas enters the tournament as the No.1 seed and battles the winner of the Nebraska-Colorado game at noon Friday. The Jayhawks are a scoring machine, averaging a nationhigh 92.6 points per game. Gooden is the team's top scorer at 20.6 points per game and is a national player-of-the year candidate.

Kentucky athletic director resigns following review
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky athletic director Larry Ivy resigned yesterday amid a scathing review of the department.
The Associated Press
Ivy, a longtime employee who had been athletic director since mid-2000, said he had decided to retire and his resignation took effect immediately.
The move comes with the school on NCAA probation for violations by the football program.
Terry Mobley, the school's director of development and a former basketball player under coach Adolph Rupp, was appointed interim athletic director by university president Lee Todd.
Todd commissioned a five-member panel to review the department following the NCAA investigation into the football team and the disclosure of questionable management practices.
"Today is a tough day for me," Mobley said. "Larry Ivy is a friend and has given a lot of years of service."
Todd said the school would begin an immediate search for an athletic director and that he would have the final say on who is hired. Mobley is not a candidate for the permanent position.
"I learned a long time ago not to answer if' questions and I'm not going to start today."
Todd said he informed Ivy of the review committee's findings during a meeting Monday and that Ivy offered his resignation yesterday morning.
Lee Todd
University of Kentucky president
While the XL fasted all of one money-losing season, the AFL appears to be on much more solid financial ground, with nine NFL owners among the Arena franchise owners. The NFL has a marketing and officiating agreement with the league
Todd would not say whether Ivy would have been fired had he not resigned and would not disclose any specific reasons why the committee recommended that Ivy be replaced.
"I learned a long time ago not to answer 'if questions and I'm not going to start today.' Todd said. "We ended up in the negotiations where we wanted to end up. That's all I'm going to say about that."
"I want to make something extremely clear. It is not my intention to do anything to harm the competitiveness of this athletics program. It is firmly my intention to do everything within my power to make sure we do not appear before the NCAA infractions committee one more time," he said.
NBC to televise Arena Football
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Next on the pro football front for NBC: Arena Football.
Trying to put the XFL flop behind them, NBC executives worked out a revenue-sharing deal with the Arena league on yesterday to begin televising games in 2003.
The AFL, which begins its 16th season next month, will field 16 teams this season with plans to add six more next year. Also, with NBC out of the NFL and NBA business, the indoor league has agreed to move its usual spring-summer schedule to a winter-spring format in 2003.
Rights fees are not involved, and NBC receives a stake in the league valued at $20 million, according to industry sources close to the negotiations who spoke on condition of anonymity.
and also has an option to buy 49.9 percent of the AFL.
The option expires at the end of the month but is on the agenda for the NFL's winter meetings March 16-21 in Orlando, Fla.NBC Sports chairman Dick Ebersol, who partnered with the World Wrestling Federation to start the XFL last winter, said he's more comfortable with his new deal.
"We are marrying up with an established league, a legitimate league and its 16 years of quality performance at the grass-roots level," Ebersol said. "Against the backdrop of the enormous falloff in all major sports viewership in the last 10 years, where the 18-to-34 males demographic has fallen off in large numbers, here all the numbers are positive."
NBC, which lost the NBA to ABC starting next year and lost the NFL in 1998, will televise four regional games in late-afternoon Sunday slots and carry the plavoffs and the Arena Bowl.
"NBC is the ultimate fan-builder, and I believe have some passionate people who believe what we believe," AFL commissioner David Baker said.
Saints talk trade to Dolphins, Browns
The Associated Press
Rick Spielman, the Miami personnel director, said on Monday the Dolphins had made an offer. Yesterday, a Browns management source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Cleveland had renewed its offer for the former Heisman Trophy-winning running back.
NEWORLEANS — The Saints are talking seriously to both the Cleveland Browns and the Miami Dolphins about trading Ricky Williams.
Williams has rushed for 3,129 yards in his first three NFL seasons, although he has been bothered by injuries. In his rookie season, he had 884 yards while playing on a sprained ankle. He broke an ankle after gaining exactly 1,000 yards in 10 games in 2000. Last season, he ran for 1,245 yards.
But the Saints think they can get considerable production from McAllister for less investment. And they also would like to get back some of the draft choices that Ditka surrendered for Williams.
The Saints, who used their No.1 draft pick last season on running back Deuce McAllister, have been trying to trade Williams for months.
"One way or another, we want to have something done this week if it's going to get done," Saints coach fim Haslet said yesterday.
The Dolphins, who ranked 23rd in rushing last season, had offered first-and third-round picks for Williams but want a second-rounder back to give them at least one choice in the first three rounds. New Orleans balked at that.
Former New Orleans coach Mike Ditka gave up all of the Saints' draft picks in 1999 to get Williams, who has irked the team by skipping off-season workouts and who was stopped last week by police for speeding at 126 mph.
In Cleveland, the source said the Brown would offer their first-round draft pick (No. 16 or 17 overall) for Williams. Miami's pick is considerably lower —26th overall.
Browns spokesman Todd Stewart said the team would not comment on trade talks.

Gooden's teammates on the first team are Duke's Jason Williams and Mike Dunleay, Maryland's Juan Dixon and Cincinnati's Steve Logan. Meanwhile, Hinrich is joined on the third team by Arizona's Jason Gardner, Duke's Carlos Boozer, Southern California's Sam Clancy and Xavier's David West.
GOLF Golf team finishes 16 of 18 in Texas invitational
The Kansas women's golf team tied for 16th place out of 18 teams at the Verizon Mo Mortal Invitational yesterday in College Station, Texas.
The team finished 54 strokes behind the first-place team Ohio State, which had a total of 616. Kansas finished a two-round total of 670. Ohio State is ranked No. 8 in the nation.
Yesterday's final round was postponed until 11:30 a.m. because of bad weather. Coach Nicole Hollingsworth said the weather had affected the players in the first day of competition on Monday.
"This was one of the worst weather conditions I have seen in awhile," Hollingsworth said. "The course was difficult and the tough weather conditions increased every team's score. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better day for our team."

Baseball returns after snow delay

By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Junior infielder Casey Spanish readies himself for a catch as sophomore Ryan Baty backs him up. The Hawks play Avila College this afternoon at Hooldun Ballpark.
The chilly weather hasn't been favorable to the Kansas baseball team this season.
Five games have yielded to the winter conditions in the past week, and coach Bobby Randall has seen enough.
The Jayhawks (8-0), ranked 31st in the nation by the National College Baseball Writers' Association, take on Avila College at 4 p.m. Kansas is intent on playing, despite snow on the field as late as vesterday.
"Hopefully, Mother Nature will take care of that for us," Randall said. "but if we have to, we will."
The Jayhawks have not played since defeating Milwaukee-Wisconsin on Feb. 23. Randail said the 11-day layoff would have an obvious impact.
"It's like we're starting over again," Randall said. "There's no excuses. In some ways, it helped some our guys heal some of the things that plagued them. It got our pitchers refreshed, but at the same time, they're not getting their innings."
Avila, a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletes school
out of Kansas City, Mo., is just getting the 2002 season underway. Today's game will be their first and only game against a Division I school this season.
"The Eagles are young this year," Avila coach Ryan Howard said. "They are going to rely on their five senior pitchers to carry them through the season."
Senior Randy Strann will start on the mound for the Jayhawks, but Randall plans on using a variety of hurlers.
"We're going to pitch several guys so we won't burn them up for
the weekend," Randall said.
Today's game will be the final tune-up before Big 12 Conference play begins. The Jayhawks will play host to No. 19 Texas A&M in a three-game set starting Friday.
"We know that A&M coming in is an extremely good baseball team," Randall said. "We have to be ready for them." Notes
Today marks just the second time that Avila and Kansas have faced off. In their only other meeting, on March 20, 1995, the Jayhawks won 22-11.

Delayed softball home opener today
After snow muddied field, Kansas could play Pittsburg doubleheader
By Ali Brox Kansan sportswriter
After rain caused the game cancellations last weekend at the Sunshine Classic Tournament in Tallahassee, Fla., senior outfielder Christi Musser said the Kansas softball team just wanted to play.
The team was supposed to play its home opener against Washburn University yesterday, but the weekend's snowy weather left
Jayhawk Field unplayable.
In order to get more experience and time on the field, the Jayhawks added two opponents to their schedule this week.
Kansas will play Pittsburg State today at 3 p.m. and will take on Emporia State tomorrow at 4 p.m. Kansas and Pittsburg State may play a doubleheader today if both games can be fit in before dark.
"We enjoy traveling, but it does take a lot out of you." Musser said about the Jayhawks' out-of-town tournament schedule. "It'll be nice to be at home."
Pittsburg State and Emporia State both play in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association. The Gorillas bring a
3-5 record to today's game. The Hornets play their first game of the season today in Emporia against Friends University before battling the lajwhacks tomorrow.
The Jayhawks hope to continue working on finishing games strongly. While in Florida, Kansas twice jumped out to early leads before relinquishing one in a 5-4 loss to No. 18 Florida State. In their next game, the Jayhawks barely held on in the seventh inning for a 4-3 win against No. 22 Mississippi State.
The tough games against ranked opponents and additional games such as the ones this week should help the Jayhawks as they prepare for the conference season.
Kansas Softball
Today: against Pittsburg State Field, 2 pm
tomorrow: against Emporia State at Jayhawk Field, 4 p.m.
"The game against Florida State was a learning experience," freshman pitcher Serena Settlemier said. "We're getting better at playing for the entire game." Settlemier said that fixing such mistakes now would help them to play better in conference competition.

Bowling team prepares for tournament
By Stephanie Goettsch Kansan sportswriter
For the first time, the University of Kansas men's and women's bowling teams have a chance to qualify for the Intercollegiate Bowling Championships in the same year.
The two teams will compete at sectionals March 23 and 24 in Oklahoma City, with a chance to qualify for the national championships.
The KU men are currently ranked 13th and the women are 18th, according to the Collegebowling.com's team ranking system. Out of 64 teams, only four from each of the four sectional qualifiers will advance to the national championships.
"The level of intensity is up," coach Mike Fine said. "Everyone is on board and understands what they need to do."
Fine was satisfied with the sectional assignment, and felt lucky to be assigned to the Midwest region.
"We were afraid we'd be shipped clear out to Sacramento," he said.
According to Fine, the Midwest won't be all fun and games though.
pete at Oklahoma City, including former national champion Western Illinois University runner-up Florida State University and four other teams that made nationals last year.
"We're not taking anything for granted," Fine said. "We're trying to anticipate every lane condition and event."
In preparation, both men's and women's teams have been bowling 50 to 75 games and practicing 15 to 20 hours per week.
"It's helping. You can never really shoot enough lines or angles," junior Jesse James said. "We can take days off in the summer. We know we can't take days off now."
Spring break will be a vital opportunity for the two teams to regroup, according to senior Mike Keeler, because bowlers will have an extra week of practice while those schools that have already had spring break will be back in class.
The week off will also help team members get over injuries and health issues that have been rampant this spring.
"We've been swapping the flu, so its been difficult to get a healthy team," Fine said.
The women's team will face the added challenge of being down a player.
Earlier this week, senior Tiffany McBurney

"We're not taking anything for granted."
Mike Fine coach
made the decision to sit out the rest of the season because of a shoulder injury.
Junior Amanda Kuxhausen and freshman Carly Ingham will be expected to step up and fill the void left by McBurney.
"I feel horrible because we have so much talent," McBurney said. "It's been a struggle because we've been losing girls to grades and injuries."
The KU bowling teams will compete one more time before the sectionals this weekend at Central Missouri State in Warrensburg, Mo.
"It will be a good last tune-up because all the teams are good." Fine said. "We will be pin-pointing specifics of our physical game to improve on, like weaknesses in arm swing, release and ball speed."

the big 12. They were led by three players, all Kansas natives, who averaged more than 16 points per game. In all, five Wildcats hailed from the Sunflower State, while freshman forward Blair Waltz was the only Kansas native on the Jayhawk roster.
"People get really caught up in whether we're going to be able to get certain players in the state," Washington said. "You know as well as I do that some people bleed blue and some people bleed purple. It's not easy when you have a history with the school."
The Wildcats' remarkable turnaround from a season ago had critics asking when Washington would be able to do the same.
"I don't think we're going to have quite the competition we had this year," she said. "So it gives a younger club a chance to develop some confidence and get on the winning side of things. I don't expect it to take a lot of years."
Washington's resume gave a strong argument for allowing her to work things out. She has a lifetime 540-329 record — a .621 winning percentage. She's had 17 seasons of 20 or more victories, 11 NCAA tournament appearances and is responsible for recruiting perhaps the greatest women's basketball player ever, Lynette Woodard, in 1977.
Following the 61-46 loss to Texas on Feb. 26, Texas coach Judy Conradt, having 785 wins of her own, pledged her support for Washington.
"I told Marian before the game that she's done enough to have a season like this without undue criticism," Conradt said. "If you're in the business long enough, it cycles around."
Washington said that while some people were given four or five years to turn a program around, she was trying to do it in less time than that.
Her goal is being helped by a successful incoming class for next season. The Jayhawks have signed seven players, led by
Tamara Ransburg, a 6-foot-4 forward from Coastal Christian High School in Virginia Beach, Va. Ransburg, a native of Grandview, Mo., chose Kansas over several Top 25 programs, such as Duke and Connecticut. Two other signees, Crystal Kemp and Ebony Haliburton, are Kansas natives.
"I think it'll help that we have a pretty talented club coming in," Washington said.
Washington's players have stayed behind her through all of the team's struggles. Senior center Kristin Geoffroy said the personal relationship Washington developed with her players was a rarity in the college game.
"She really cares for you on and off the court, and that's really hard to find," Geoffroy said. "That means a lot to us. We know that she'll be there for all of us."
"And we will all be there for her, too."

Veteran rockers up for Oscars
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Pop stars can turn to the Oscars when they want something besides Grammys on their trophy shelves.
The competition among Sting, Randy Newman, Paul McCartney and Enya in this year's best movie song category highlights the parallel careers some celebrity musicians are developing in film music.
"In your wildest dreams you could say, 'Well, one day I'll get nominated for a Grammy.' But an Oscar seems like kind of a long shot," said Sting, nominated for the song "Until" from the comedy Kate & Leopold.
Sting has collected some of his soundtrack songs on a compilation album, Sting at the Movies, and was nominated for his first
Oscar last year for "My Funny Friend and Me" from the Disney cartoon The Emperor's New Groove.
In the notoriously fickle music industry, experts say performing on a soundtrack can give veteran stars unique opportunities to showcase their music to a new audience.
The exposure is magnified even more by a coveted Oscar nomination.
"There's a lot of pressure on the radio market to find a hot new thing and all these nominees are veterans; they're yesterday's hot things," said Tom O'Neil, author of the book Movie Awards and proprietor of the award Web site Goldderby.com. "This is a very shrewd way to find an alternative medium."
Oscar wins by Phil Collins and
Elton John for songs they performed in the Disney cartoons Tarzan in 1999 and The Lion King in 1994, respectively, gave a shot of energy to their lagging musical careers. And Randy Newman, who had hit singles in the '70s and '80s with "Short People" and "I Love L.A.," is now better known for his movie music than solo recordings.
All three of Newman's Gramms are for film music, and this year he's in the Oscar category for best song with "If I Didn't Have You" from *Monsters, Inc.* His score for the animated feature has another nomination.
Newman's never received an Oscar, however, and unless he gets one this year he'll set a new Oscar record — for the most losses. If he loses in both categories, he'll be 0 for 16.

The Cowboys have a firstround bye and will face the winner of the Texas Tech-Texas A&M contest. Baker is Oklahoma State's best player, but he has been hampered for most of conference play with a groin injury. The Cowboys can't run with teams like Kansas and Oklahoma but allow the least points per game in the Big 12 (64.0).

Carnaval set for two-night party, dance at Granada
By Leah Shaffer Kansan staff writer
Last year's Brazilian Carnaval was so successful that members of the KU Brazilian Student Association decided it was time to turn this year's event into a two-night party.
More than 1,000 people attended last year's carnaval. For that reason, members decided to expand this year's event. Carnaval takes place tomorrow and Saturday night at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St.
Although Brazil's Carnaval has come and gone, members decided to celebrate Carnaval this week instead because of better weather conditions. The event gives KU students a taste of the wild celebration that rages on for an entire week in Brazil at the end of February.
"Basically, the whole country stops," said Carol Dias da Silva, Rio de Janeiro junior, and secretary for the KU Brazil-Portugal Organization.
Carnaval will feature two bands: Chicago Samba and Malaka. Chicago Samba will play tomorrow and Malaka will play Saturday.
Carnaval is part of a variety of events set up for Brazilian week. Yesterday night students participated in a samba dance workshop in preparation for Carnaval and on Tuesday night, more than 20 people participated in a Capoeira workshop. Capoeira is a dance and martial art that originated in Brazil and has spread in popularity throughout the United States. An Overland Park group, Grupo Axe Capoeira, facilitated the workshop.
Thais Brandao, Recife, Brazil, junior, said that the dance originated on slave plantations. Brandao said that the slave masters would repress any fighting so the slaves invented the fighting舞 to resolve differences.
"If you see it there is not much full contact, but you can still hurt people if you need to do that," she said.
Silva said although Carnavale would be the week's big event, students are also invited to attend Brazilian night at 6 p.m. tonight in the St. Lawrence Catholic center, 1651 Crescent Road. Silva said the event would expose students to non-partying aspects of Brazilian culture, such as the art, architecture and food like Brigadeiro, a chocolate sweet. Brazilian night is free to the public.
Tickets for Carnaval can be purchased at the SUA Box office. Tickets are $10 for one day or $18 for both.

Members of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity and Alpha Chi Omega sorority run through a final dress rehearsal for this year's Rock Chalk Revue. Members have been rehearsing since October for the show, which begins today.
Greeks set stage for Rock Chalk
By Caroline Boyer Kansan staff writer
Jayhawks dressed as bees, leprechauns, and inmates of a women's prison will be dancing, singing and performing across the stage of the Lied Center for the next three nights to raise money for charity.
The 53rd annual Rock Chalk Revue, whose theme is "Look Both Ways," will kick off with tonight's performance at 7 in the Lied Center. The performance run will continue through Saturday. Organizers are aiming to break 2001's record of $50,000 raised for the United Way.
Rock Chalk Revue is the single largest source of revenue for Douglas County United Way. Johanna Bryant, executive director for the county United Way, said the size of the college charity was unmatched across the country.
"I have never heard of any gifts from students even approaching that amount, so I think it's an exceptional donation even on a national scale," Bryant said.
Angela Agustin, who serves as executive director for the five-show revue, said she felt ready.
"I've been really calm and positive all week because the shows are of such high quality," Agustin, Wichita senior, said.
MIKE Rodriguez, assistant executive director for the revue, said he thought this year's revue would be the best yet because of the diversity in the shows and casts.
"This year, Rock Chalk has come full circle. It started out as an all-male production, and this year we have the first all-female production," Rodriguez, Chicago sophomore, said.
"Doin' Time," the all-female show, is the product of Kappa Kappa Gamma and Pi Beta Phi sororities. The plot involves a women's prison that gets a new inmate who claims she is innocent of her crime and tries to prove it to the other inmates.
"It's about the good girls and the bad girls in the
prison working together to help out this innocent girl," Pi Beta Phi director Kelsey Durr, Enid, Okla., junior, said.
The Revue comprises five shows, each 20 to 30 minutes long. Between the shows, five-minute cast movies are shown while set changes are made. In addition, there is a 20-minute intermission between the third and fourth shows. "Doin' Time" follows the intermission.
The first show of the evening will be "Hearts O' Gold," by Alpha Chi Omega sorority and Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. Phi Kappa Psi director Chris Dakhil, a Wichita senior, said it was set in a lerechaun town at the end of a rainbow, and the leprechauns must go on a quest for their stolen gold.
Each show is written, directed and staged by two organizations. The Lied Center performances are the culmination of a six-month process in which the groups first compete to get into the revue, then prepare their shows for the audience. After submitting notebooks with scripts, costumes, music and set designs, and attending interviews with a panel of judges, these five shows were selected for the Revue in November.
The four shows other than "Doin' Time" conform to the recent trend of fraternity-sorority pairs; however, the second show of the evening will bring another first. Pi Kappa Phi fraternity makes their first appearance in the revue with "The Two-Ply Alliance," partnering with Alpha Gamma Delta sorority. Pi Kappa Phi director Matthew Allen said it was about two groups of eighth-grade graduates competing to pull a prank on their old principal.
"They don't realize that they've planned to pull the same prank, but they work together and pull it off in the end." Allen, Leawood sophomore, said.
Cast members have attended mandatory rehearsals for one hour each weeknight and one-and-a-half hours each day on weekends since Jan.18.

Home offers a place for activism, education
By Leah Shaffer
Kansan staff writer
"We decided to start the collective because we felt there wasn't a real community space for all the grassroots organizations to use," said Ayer, who helped form the group last October.
Lawrence activists have found a home for gathering and educating others in the community at the Mother Earth Collective.
Elizabeth Ayer, Lawrence resident and member of the collective, lives in the house, at 1305 Tennessee St., with four other members.
The Mother Earth Collective has 20 members and serves as a meeting space for groups such as the Anarchist Study Group, Kaw Valley Greens and Industrial Workers of the World. This month, the collective will also have workshops on book binding and setting up darkrooms, as well as women's health workshops on how to sew reusable menstrual pads and give self-cervical exams.
Alleicia Ruscin, Auburn, Ala., graduate student, said the collective was a crucial space for activists in Lawrence.
"I've lived in Lawrence for three years and I've been waiting
Ruscin said she appreciated the women's health workshop and she looked forward to finding out how to sew menstrual pads because she thought commercially made tampons and pads were bleached and had dioxin in them, which were harmful to one's health and the environment.
The collective also has a lending library full of books detailing the history of such things as feminism, environmentalism and sus-
for something like the collective to appear," she said.

Operator flexes crane's muscles in front of Union
By Adam Pracht
Kansan staff writer
David Knoll can measure the stress of his job by the size of the hole in his boot.
Knoll said the job stress could be draining.
He developed the coaster-sized hole by constantly checking and rechecking his grip on the brake pedal that keeps 10-ton loads suspended over the heads of his co-workers. One slip, and the results can be fatal.
Knoll operates the160-foot-tall crane towering above the construction on the west side of the Kansas Union.
"Basically every day I could kill somebody, so there's really no room for errors," he said. "When I first started running the crane, I'd go home and have nightmares about it."
John Kennedy, an iron worker on the site, said he was confident in Knoll and had trusted him with his life many times.
Knoll started working for McPherson Construction as a laborer and carpenter until 1983 when he began to work as a crane operator. McPherson Construction is doing the current renovations on the Kansas Union.
The renovations include construction of a new entrance on the west side, facing Spencer Art Museum, a new main staircase, a new walkway connecting the Union to the parking garage and expanded space for the Organizations and Leadership Center.
Knoll said he considered other careers such as a shop teacher or a farmer. But he chose crane operation because it paid well, offered a comfortable seat and provided internal heat in the winter months.
Getting his start in crane operation was as simple as asking his supervisor if he could try it.
"I told him I wanted to run a crane," Knoll said. "He threw me the keys, and I started."
Soon after, Knoll began to train after work with Kenny Hollington, a veteran crane operator who is now an inspector for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Knoll said Hollington showed him that the basics of crane operation were simple, but becoming an expert could take a lifetime.
Hank Morris, Knoll's supervisor on the current renovation project, said he appreciated Knoll's talent and experience. He said Knoll was careful, smooth and exact while operating the crane.
“Kenny was a sharp man, but he was a hell of a guy to follow.” Knoll said “I guarantee you, if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing.”
Morris said Knoll's job was as important as the position of supervisor.
"Most of the time you're working blind, and if you don't trust the guy up there giving you the signals, that's where you're going to run into problems."
However, Knoll said construction work was a team effort, and his job was impossible without others to guide him when the load wasn't visible to him.

New proposal coming
Associated Press
TOPEKA—A coalition that pushed a redistricting plan through the Senate expects to offer another proposal in the wake of a veto from Gov. Bill Graves.
Democrats and conservative Republicans in the coalition said some small changes could be made to improve the bill, which redrew the 40 Senate districts. Graves' veto was Tuesday.
However, Democrats backed off a promise that the coalition would send Graves the same map he rejected.
"I don't think you can assume anything at this point," said Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka. "Obviously, the veto puts us in a position where we've got to continue talking about this issue, so
we'll go back in and see the thinking is."
Drafted by the Senate's 10 Democrats and 11 of its conservative Republicans, the redistricting map was presented as debate was under way in the chamber on a version endorsed by the Senate Reapportionment Committee.
The coalition pushed its plan to passage on a 21-19 vote over the objections of top Senate Republicans, including President Dave Kerr, R-Hutchinson. The House approved it last week, sending it to Graves.
In a lengthy veto message, Graves suggested the plan's legality was questionable because of some of the changes it made in existing districts. He also raised the issues of fairness and the way the measure came to a Senate vote — without the usual procedures.

Mary Faith Marshall, professor of medicine and bioethics at the University of Kansas and chair of the National Human Research Protections, will deliver the Walter Sutton Ethics Lecture tonight.
Marshall will speak on "Ethical Issues in Biomedical Research: Balancing Self-Interest and Research Integrity" from 7 to 8 tonight at the Ballroom in the Kansas Union. Marshall will address the issue of putting faith in research, trusting that the interests of human subjects will be protected and results accurately reported.
Marshall, who is a past president of the American Association for Bioethics, has written numerous articles and book chapters in the fields of clinical and research ethics.
She focuses on cybernetic ethics, such as the nervous system and brain, and the ethics of medical research, dealing with issues ranging from electronic chips that control human systems, including brain function, to medical experimentation in gene therapy.
Joseph Reitz, professor of business, said that Marshall was chosen to speak because of her expertise.
"She is one of the countries leading authorities of ethical issues and medical research," he said. "With all that is going on right now with cloning and AIDS, these issues affect everyone."
The event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact (785) 864-7581.

Fair educates students about available majors
By Mike Gilligan Kansan staff writer
More than 500 students yesterday found out about majors offered at the University of Kansas.
More than 60 majors and academic services were represented at the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center-sponsored Majors Fair, which took place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Ballroom in the Kansas Union.
Advisers, faculty and students represented the different majors, said Tammara Durham, associate director of the center.
"The fair is a chance for us to educate students about the different major opportunities," she said. "It gives students a more in-depth look at all the opportunities that are out there."
Durham said students could learn about the requirements for the different majors and what careers they could pursue.
"Someone who is interested in business knows about their major," she said. "It's not just a title."
Gera Elliott, missions coordinator for the School of Architecture, said students asked questions about required courses and what they already had fulfilled.
"A lot of architecture students enter the school as freshmen," she said. "But there are students who change schools and they want to know if the requirements are different."
The fair is also a chance for students to find out about majors they didn't know much about.
Stacy Meisinger, a Leawood junior majoring in classics, said most people didn't know what the classics major included.
"Most people think classics focuses on classical novels instead of Greco-Roman studies," she said.
Meisinger said students asked questions about the requirements and the different degrees offered in classics.
Cynthia Fierro, Kansas City, Kan., freshman, said the fair was helpful.
"There was lots of information," she said. "I asked questions about the majors I was interested in and what careers they might lead to."
Sommer Heiserman, Lawrence sophomore, said she was undecided about her major but was leaning towards health, sport and exercise science.
"I wanted to learn about internships, career options, and what requirements I have already fulfilled for the major," she said.
Fierro said she picked up information on the Italian, French, Spanish, business and education majors.

"I really think the groups are running on adrenaline because they're ready to put what they've been working on on stage and show off their talents." Rodriguez said.
Months of rehearsal will soon pay off for students involved in Rock Chalk Review. The show runs through Saturday
The two organizations in the third show, "Days of our Hives," paired up two years ago to put on a show with an Egyptian theme for the Revue. This time, Delta Gamma sorority and Beta Theta Pi fraternity set their show in a beehive. "Days of our Hives" chronicles the bee colony of Bizmark. Carly Kassen, Delta Gamma director and Lenexa junior, said in the show, an evil bee named Beatrice overthrew the queen bee, but was later beaten by the bees Sting and the Police.
After the two months of preparations, Agustin said she was ready for the revue to be completed so she could get back to a regular sleep schedule.
"I slept until 11 o'clock today because I haven't slept for the past two days." Agustin said. "I'm glad Spring Break is soon so I can get some sleep."
The final show before completion will be "Rock Chalk Revue: A Scandal on Stage." Creating a spoof of the revue, Chi Omega sorority and Phi Delta Theta fraternity include references to the stress and lack of sleep familiar to all cast members.

"As a collective, we are pushing fora society based on egalitarianism," Ayer said. "To do that, we need to have study groups and workshops for people to develop their own knowledge."
Sean Whittier, Lawrence sophomore, said that the collective was also a place for social gatherings such as movie night and potluck dinners.

All-female Rock Chalk act good break from tradition
STARTRIBUWF
For the first time in Rock Chalk Revue history, two sororites have teamed up to form an all-female cast. Kappa Kappa Gamma and Pi Beta Phi sororites took a step toward including more non-traditional groups in the Rock Chalk Revue. The sorority duo will perform "Doin' Time," a show about a women's correctional facility.
The revue, playing tonight through Saturday night at the Lied Center, is an annual event and competition held to benefit the United Way of Douglas County. It has traditionally consisted of five sorority and fraternity shows, but this year's first all-female show broke the mold. This year marks the 53rd year for Rock Chalk Revue at the University of Kansas, and it isn't just a Greek event.
All living organizations are invited to try out for the revue Historically, greek living organizations have made the most appearances in the show. In the past, scholarship and residence hall groups have auditioned and performed in the revue. The most recent example was in 1990 when Battenfield and Watkins scholarship halls performed. This year's allfemale show, by breaking with tradition and precedence, may encourage groups other than fraternity-sorority pairs to continue to apply to be in the show.
The revue raises a significant amount of money for the United Way of Douglas County. Last year, the event raised. More student group participation equals more money for the United Way. Scholarship and residence halls should continue to audition for the revue and make the revue a University-wide event every year, which ideally, would result in donating more money to charity.
Other living organizations should follow Kappa Kappa Gamma and Pi Beta Phi's example and continue to submit notebooks to be in the show.
The Greek community has a long tradition in participating in the revue, and that sense of community fosters healthy competition. This tradition is important, but more groups trying out increases competition and makes a stronger revue.

I'm curious why Free for All doesn't print more complaints about KU, serious things, instead of sexist comments and sports trivia.
To the girl that said the Kansan neglected to provide sufficient attention to one of the most important events KU will have this year, the Langston Hughes symposium, we've had about 20 more important events. They're called KU basketball home games.

Lately the Free for All has been short and pathetic so here's some things to think about: Oiff, noonan, water buffalo, intermural basketball and the caveman cannot stop thinking about Utug.

This is for the person that said Alicia Keys didn't deserve three Grammys: You're right, she didn't deserve it. That's why she won five, because she deserved five.
I'm sick of everyone talking about Drew Gooden staying. I think we can definitely win without him, so kick rocks, Drew.
Help Doup Pace get it right. When it said, "it would seem to ensure a victory for the Hawks, but Rush ran the senior guard down and blocked his shot, giving the Tigers a chance to tie the game," it wasn't Rush, it was Paulding. Get it right. Damn journalists.

To the person that said in the Free for All Monday that an air ball is not an air ball if it hits the backboard, that's not true. It's an air ball if it doesn't hit the rim. The backboard is only there to break the fall. So know what you're talking about before you think you're a good basketball fan.

Teachers who start class early. If you want to get a head start on the day fine, but Don't quiz us on your ramblings before we're there.
Increased graduation requirements. The Board of Regents increased the number of required junior/senior credit hours to 54. As much as students love stumbling to 8 a.m. lectures with biting hangovers, most of us do actually want to graduate some day. Quit making it harder for us to get our diplomas!
PERSPECTIVE
Don't ignore chances on campus to appreciate different cultures
This past weekend I attended the Asian American Student Union's "Taste of Asia."
The theme, "Strength Though Diversity," truly exemplified the spirit of the event as the cuisine and performances showed the variety of cultures in Asia.
I wish that even more students could have experienced the occasion, because before we can see past our differences, we must realize and appreciate our differences.
the University of Kansas continually provides numerous opportunities to experience diversity. But these events don't draw larger number of students because some students might not want to get out of their comfort zones. Going to events where a person may be in an

ethnic minority may not appeal to all students.
Student organizations present cultural events throughout the year. These events aren't exclusive because they mention certain ethnicities, but instead are inclusive because they invite all students to participate in the heritage of the hosts.
College is a training ground for the real world. As America grows more racially and culturally diverse, there will be a greater demand for more culturally aware people in the workforce.
It would be a shame to go through a whole college education and only interact and socialize with people who look like you. More than a shame, it would be a

Cultural heritage is important and shouldn't be swept aside because of fear of insult or offending someone's colorblind view of the

The strength comes from the wealth of ideas, creative energy and viewpoints generated by a group of people from various backgrounds.
world. Cultural pride strengthens the campus as long as one culture is not exclusively elevated over others.
These events are not intended as automatic enlightenment or a cute lesson in feel-good diversity. They simply open the gates for better dialogue among students.
So when it comes to time for these events to seek funding, support and attendance, we need to remember the significance of these events and how they benefit the whole campus.

Big corporations don't care about you
Will you look at that?" I muttered to my friend as we walked downtown.ain store on Mass
"Another chain store on Mass Street!"
"So what?" said my friend from Kansas City. "When did you start caring where chain stores open up?"
He was right. Five or six years ago, I could have cared less. For me, it started with the fall of The Lazer, 105.9 FM. Back then, The Lazer was locally owned, and its format was modern rock. The Lazer was distinctive. It promoted local bands, it cultivated the Lawrence music scene, and it was the station to listen to.

Then The Lazer was sold to a corporation that owned dozens of stations across the country and our beloved Lazer went from being one of Rolling Stone's "10 Stations that Don't Suck" to sounding like every other pop station.

concerned with music or even our local music scene. Its customers were national advertisers, and as potential listeners within its network, we were the product it was peddling.
The more I thought about the fall of The Lazer, the more I saw similar patterns throughout the economy.
If a shoe manufacturer contracts its manual-intensive work to the lowest foreign bidder, it can increase its profit margin by lowering labor costs. But the practice often encourages the use of child labor in squalid working conditions.
I can respect an artist who truly wants to make a statement about sexuality, but marketing harmful messages only to make a buck — that's irresponsible.
A recording company can turn a profit by signing a mediocre artist who is willing to market his music with images that portray women as sexual playthings. But the messages these images send young boys and girls about gender roles could have long-lasting negative effects.
Of course, energy companies and manufacturers have followed environmentally irresponsible business practices for so long that we almost expect them to pollute.
The recent Enron scandal is only the latest example of corporation executives thinking only of themselves. In this case, executives could have run the company with concern for its workers and the public. Instead, workers and thousands of retirement investors lost millions while executives hauled off a fortune.
Maybe we think only government can make such demands, or that the public has no right to complain. I suspect, however, most Americans just don't understand what's going on.
I'm not declaring a Marxist, antiprofit manifesto. I just want Big Business to take responsibility for the effects of its actions. Americans should demand that corporations behave better.
So, when I hear of students protesting Massachusetts Street being overrun by national chain stores. I understand their cause.
I don't have time to protest, but I do try to get my hair cut by a local barber, buy music at an independent music store and study at a local coffee shop.
These businesses have an interest in lifting up the community. Most corporations just want my money and most will do anything to get it.

Philippine captures extremists' relatives
The Associated Press
ZAMBOANGA, Philippines — A southern Philippine mayor said yesterday that his followers seized eight relatives of Muslim extremist rebels in a bid to force them to swap an American couple and a Filipino nurse that they have as hostages.
Mayor Sakib Salajin of Maluso town on Basilian island near Zamboanga said his followers had taken custody of four men and four women "so that we will have some bargaining power."
"Our target now is we want to rescue the hostages," he said. "If we don't get them now, they will just grow stronger."
Salajin said the guerrillas' relatives were taken from their homes recently.
The Abu Sayyaf guerrillas have been holding American missionary couple Martin and Gracia Burnham of Wichita,
Kan., and Filipino nurse Ediborah Yap in the jungles of Basilan for more than nine months now.
Regional Philippine military spokesman Maj. Noel Detoyato condemned the seizure of the relatives of the Abu Sayyaf guerrillas.
He said he hadn't spoken to Salajin to confirm the incident and didn't mention any possible legal action against him.
"We will tell them this is not right," Detoyato said. "We cannot correct a wrong thing by another wrong thing."
Martin Burnham's mother, Oreta, said the family would not comment on the latest development.
The Philippines and the United States have launched a joint counter-terrorism military exercise aimed at wiping out the Abu Sayyaf, which has been linked to the al-Qaida terror network.
The 660-strong U.S. contingent includes 160 special forces soldiers deployed to Basilian to observe Filipino soldiers on the front-lines. They are armed for self-defense only.
Some special forces soldiers have been deployed to Philippine military units operating in Maluso, where Salajin said the hostages and their captors have recently been sighted.
Meanwhile, the military is processing at least 44 members of the Muslim separatist Moro Islamic Liberation Front who surrendered on Basilan late Tuesday.
The group turned over 20 high-powered firearms to an army detachment in Lamitan and were brought to an army camp in Isabela, capital of Basilan, yesterday, said Maj. Noel Detoyato, a spokesman for the military's southern Command.
Evidence could be be dismissed in Johnson County murder case
The Associated Press
OLATHE — Evidence found during the search that turned up the bodies of two women in barrels on John E. Robinson Sr.'s Kansas farm should be thrown out, his lawyers say.
The evidence found June 3, 2000, was conducted under an illegally obtained search warrant, the defense asserts in a motion filed Monday in Johnson County District Court.
Robinson, 58, is charged with capital murder of the two women found in the barrels on his Linn County farm, and with killing another woman, whose body has never been
found, in Johnson County. Prosecutors in Cass County, Mo., also charged Robinson in the deaths of three women whose bodies were found in barrels there.
"All stages of the proceedings were fraught with legal error to the detriment of Mr. Robinson's rights," the defense wrote of the preparation and execution of the search warrant.
The motion said the Johnson County judge who issued the warrant did not have jurisdiction in Linn County, and neither he nor police had probable cause for the search.
Also, the officers who performed the search, from the Overland Park and Lenexa police departments and the Johnson County sheriff's office, did not have authority in Linn County, the motion contends.
Further, many items seized in the search were not listed in the warrant request. The prosecution cannot use these items as evidence unless it proves they are legally admissible, the defense motion said.
Robinson's attorneys say the case has gotten too much media attention for him to get a fair trial in the county.
Judge John Anderson III was expected to rule on the motion by the end of the week.
Olathe pays settlement in speech case
OLATHE — The city of Olathe has agreed to pay a police officer more than $146,000 to settle charges it violated his free-speech rights.
The Associated Press
Sgt. Dennis Beach agreed to retire on April 1 as part of the settlement.
The settlement will be paid in a lump sum of $75,000 and in installments totaling $71,080 over the next ten years.
City officials said the settlement would save the city money because it would come from the state's Guarantee Fund Board, which is a state agency that provides insurance settlements when an insurance company cannot.
The city would have had to pay the cost of going to trial.
City Manager Michael Wilkes said to do so would be financially irresponsible. "If we demanded that the insurance company continue with litigation, it could result in us placing tax dollars at risk." Wilkes said.
Beach filed the federal lawsuit in May 1999, alleging that Assistant City Manager Susan Sherman, then acting city manager, and former police Chief Phil Major had punished him for exercising his right to free speech.
Another former city employee, police Capt. John Bunker, had uncovered an impropriety on the part of Major in late 1997. In mid-1998, Major made a public admission of misusing police equipment and soon was asked to resign. Before he resigned, Major authorized investigations into both Bunker and Beach for alleged department policy violations.
Major was unavailable for comment and has declined to comment in the past.
Beach claimed the city punished him for speaking against the former chief and for siding with the Fraternal Order of Police on issues related to department morale, staffing and pay.
In late January, the city settled a similar lawsuit with Bunker for $325,000.

HOUSTON — Andrea Yates told no one about the voices or delusions she experienced after the birth of her first son because she feared Satan would hear her and harm her children, a psychiatrist testified yesterday.
Yates fearful of Satan hurting kids
Associated Press
The 37-year-old mother who drowned her five children in the bathtub last June is on trial on murder charges that could bring the death penalty. She has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.

LUCYPURYEAR psychiatrist
"On the day of the drownings, she was not rational. She was psychotic." LUCY PURYEAR
Othello deals with adult issues and has some violent scenes
Psychiatrist Lucy Puryear testified that Yates worried some of her doctors might be Satan or be influenced by Satan.
"She believed that if she said them out loud, Satan would hear them and make them happen." Puryear said.
In a videotaped interview played in court, Yates did not discuss her fears about Satan but did talk to the psychiatrist about how she tried to block thoughts of harming her oldest child. Noah.
Puryear testified: "On the day of the drownings, she was not rational. She was psychotic."
She also talked about feeling overwhelmed as her family continued to grow while living inside a converted bus and how she attempted suicide in 1999 hoping it would prevent her from harming her children.
During the interview with Puryear, Yates said she expected to go to jail for her children's deaths.
Yates wore an orange jail jumpsuit during the interview. Her long brown hair was stringy.
She talked about how she was a "bad mother."
On the tape, Yates said she felt overwhelmed in 1999 after Luke, her fourth son, was born. Her husband, Russell, tried to make things better by moving the family into a house, she said.
Yates said less than three months after she got out of the hospital and had started feeling better, she became pregnant with her fifth child, Mary.
"They weren't progressing the right way in school," Yates said of her children, whom she began homeschooling after her two suicide attempts.
Puryear asked what Yates thought about all the pregnancies and if she tried to prevent them.
"They were planned," Yates responded. "I was letting it happen."
Groups sue government to open Sept.11 trials
Associated Press
The papers' reporters tried to cover court hearings involving detainees, but were barred from courtrooms, along with the rest of the public.
NEWARK, N.J. - Civilrights groups and three newspapers sued the federal government yesterday, seeking to ban secret court hearings for detainees arrested in the Sept. 11 investigation.
The suit challenges the constitutionality of a Sept. 21 memorandum by the nation's chief immigration judge which mandates closed hearings for detainees whose cases have been designated of "special
interest" to the FBL. The memo also prohibits court administrators from listing the cases on dockets, or confirming when hearings are to be held.
The American Civil Liberties Union and the New-York based Center For Constitutional Rights filed the suit in federal court on behalf of North Jersey Media Group, which publishes The Record of Hackensack, the Herald News of West Paterson, and the New Jersey Law Journal.
"America and Americans have a long history of distrust and disdain for secret proceedings," said Ed Barocas, the ACLU's legal director. "What transpires in court is public
property."
Federal law generally directs that immigration court hearings be open to the public, with only a few exceptions, including cases in which secrecy is needed to protect the public interest
The suit names immigration Judge Michael Creppy and Attorney General John Ashcroft as defendants. Immigration court spokesmen referred inquiries to the Justice Department, which did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
Federal officials have said the secrecy was necessary to keep information about detainees with possible links to terrorism from America's enemies.
Adult stem cells may treat diseases, injuries
Associated Press
Researchers have found evidence that stem cells circulating in the bloodstream can grow new tissue in the liver, gut and skin.
The study is the latest to suggest the versatility of adult stem cells, the body's manufacturing equipment for new tissue. In adults — unlike in embryos — they have long been thought to be programmed to make just one kind of cell, such as liver or brain, depending on where they are located.
Stem cells found in the bone marrow were once believed to make only new blood cells. But
recent studies have upset this dogma, finding that they apparently develop into a variety of cells throughout the body.
Stem cells in the blood are virtually identical to the bone marrow variety. The latest work, published in today's New England Journal of Medicine, suggests they, too, can morph into many different kinds of tissue.
The finding boosts scientists hopes of one day using stem cells to repair injuries and treat diseases.
Researchers at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston examined tissue samples collected from 12 cancer patients after stem cell
transplants and found evidence they manufacture new tissue in unlikely places within two weeks.
Six women got transplants from a brother, so the researchers looked for male cells in tissue taken from the women's liver, gastrointestinal tract and skin. They found cells with a male Y chromosome accounted for up to 7 percent of the female samples.
"The school of thought for many years was that stem cells only make cells of their own tissue. This has changed and things are pretty much upside down now," said Martin Korbling, one of the researchers.
Debt stops frivolous spending
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Tamara Weber, 200, saddled with $22,000 in college loans and $6,500 in credit card debt, has stopped impulse spending and postponed buying a car and other big-ticket items so she can pay down her debt.
Jessica Coleman, 23, faced with $4,500 in credit card debt and a $300 monthly car payment, has put off buying a computer and an armoire. She's scouring for bargains at TJ Maxx and Ross Stores and eats salads at TGI Fridays instead of dining on steaks at fancy French restaurants.
"I really have to budget now," said Coleman, a Santa Monica, Calif., resident, who used to splurge on a new outfit with each paycheck.
Weber, a Tampa, Fl., resident who hopes to be debt-free by 2007, said, "Spending on
frivolous items is not my biggest concern right now."
Weber and Coleman, both of whom got caught up in credit card companies' marketing pitches on college campuses, are among the growing ranks of recent graduates who must bid farewell to their days of liberal spending.
But there are plenty of other consumers under age 30 who continue to rack up credit card debt, jeopardizing their financial future, industry observers said.
Some analysts wonder about the impact young consumers' rising debt will ultimately have on this generation's future spending power, and consequently what it will mean to merchants counting on them to keep sales churning.
"It will be very interesting to see how these young people manage their debt levels while at the same time making investment in their future, such as buying a house," said Jennifer Black, a retail analyst at Wells Fargo Securities LLC.
Black believes retailers including AnnTaylor Loft, TJ Maxx, Target, Express, Hennes & Mauritz and Kohl's should continue to do well, meeting consumers' desire for low-priced goods. Higher-priced stores including Banana Republic, BCBG and J. Crew could face some challenges, she said.
Manning and others are closely watching college seniors, who face a recessionweakened job market as they carry heavy debt loads.
C. Britt Beemer, chairman of Charleston, S.C.-based America's Research Group, estimates that the under-30 age group has an average credit card debt of $10,000 to $12,000, up 50 percent from five years ago.

More troops sent to aid war
Associated Press
GARDEZ, Afghanistan — Fierce fighting raged for a fifth day as the United States deployed hundreds of reinforcements yesterday and gathered 5,000 Afghan troops for an offensive aimed at finishing off al-Qaida.
The U.S.-led coalition mounted punishing, round-the-clock airstrikes above the rugged terrain in eastern Afghanistan, and some U.S. officers predicted the operation could be wrapped up in days.
In Kabul, five peacekeepers two Germans and three Danes were killed in an explosion while trying to defuse anti-aircraft missiles.
The Pentagon said opposition fighters were still putting up stiff resistance after five days of battle, some of it above 10,000 feet in snow-covered mountains. As fighter jets and bombers hit targets, more attack helicopters were called in to boost the firepower in the largest U.S.-led offensive of the 5-month-old war.
The al-Qaida and Taliban forces are armed mainly with mortars, cannons, rocket-propelled grenades, shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles and AK-47 automatic rifles.
Afghan soldiers urged residents of the region in Paktia province to turn in al-Qaida warriors, offering a $4,000 reward for each foreign fighter captured alive.
The commander of the operation, code-named Operation Anaconda, said U.S.-led troops had the upper hand after killing hundreds of fighters — about half the al-Qaida members holed up in the hills around the village of Shah-e-Kot. U.S. troops were searching their cave hide-outs.
"We own the dominant terrain in the area," Maj. Gen. Frank L. Hagenbeck told reporters Wednesday at Bagram air base north of the capital, Kabul. "We truly have the momentum at this point."
Gen. Tommy Franks, the U.S. commander in the war in Afghanistan, said he had increased the number of Americans in the operation by 200 to 300 during the past two days, for a total of roughly 1,100.
About 1,000 Afghan have been fighting alongside the Americans, and their commander said they were also bringing in fresh units, drawing from parts of Paktia province as well as the Logar and Ghazi provinces.
Hunger strike subsides
Associated Press
GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba — The number of detainees holding to a hunger strike dwindled yesterday, with only three men left who have been without food since the protest's initial days, U.S. military officials said.
The protest began Feb. 27, a day after guards stripped an inmate of his turban during prayers. But prisoners have told their captors their underlying concern was uncertainty about their fate.
Most of the strikers have been eating some food. Nearly all the 51 captives who skipped breakfast and 46 who refused lunch yesterday have had at least one meal during the weeklong protest.
"We have what I would refer to as a rolling hunger strike," said Marine Brig. Gen. Michael Lehnert, the commander of the detention mission. "Essentially, people take turns not eating."
U. S. officials are determining whether and how to prosecute the 300 men held at the naval base in southeastern Cuba. Those not tried by a military tribunal could be prosecuted in U.S. courts, returned to their home countries for prosecution, released outright or held indefinitely.
Lehnert said there were only three men left who have been refusing food since at least Friday, when the military began keeping close records. That number is down from 13 a couple of days ago.
Others join the strike regularly, but not at every meal. The total participating has fallen from a high of 194 last Thursday, to less than 70 on Tuesday and now less than 50.
So far, the military has been giving intravenous fluids to 18 men at the camp infirmary to treat them for dehydration or undernourishment. In at least two cases, the IVs were given forcibly because the detainees tried to resist. military officials said.
Those fasting remain defiant, Lehnert said. But, he said, "when I speak to them individually, many times they apologize for creating the problems, but they're trying to make a case."
The military said the captives included fighters of the al-Qaida terrorist network and the deposed Taliban regime in Afghanistan, but U.S. officials had said they were unsure of the identities of some captives.
The hunger strike is the first mass protest since the first detainees arrived on Jan. 11.
Arafat's presence necessary for possible peace initiative
Associated Press
CAIRO, Egypt — Syrian support for a Saudi peace overture to Israel brings the Arab world closer than it has ever been to recognizing Israel's right to exist, but the process is fraught with pitfalls.
The chance for a new peace initiative comes just three weeks from now when the Arab League convenes in Beirut for its annual summit—and it could vanish just as quickly if Israel carries out its threat to prevent Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat from attending.
Syrian President Bashar Assad, whose father and predecessor once led the vanguard of hard-line opposition to Israel, has reservations but "expressed satisfaction" with the proposal aired last month by Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Abdullah, Syria's state-run media said yesterday.
It was the clearest signal yet, coming amid Assad's flurry of visits with other Arab leaders, that Syria would go along with the Saudi proposal if it is presented at the March 27-28 summit.
The Saudi proposal has also found support from the United States and
from some Israeli officials. Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres and Defense Minister Binyamin BenEliezer, both of the center-left Labor Party, have said it had positive elements that deserve exploration.
But despite offering the Israelis wider acceptance by the Arabs and an alternative to dealing solely with Arafat on Palestinian issues, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and other hardliners appear to think it offers insufficient guarantees for Israel's security.
Abdullah's plan, as sketched out so far, is a fairly simple idea that goes straight to the core issue — land for peace — but it leaves a lot of touchy details to be addressed later.
The proposal that Abdullah outlined in a February interview with The New York Times calls for Israel's withdrawal from the territories captured in the 1967 Mideast war in exchange for neighborly relations with the Arab world.
Saudi officials have said the details, including the borders of Israel and a Palestinian state and the fate of Palestinian refugees, would be left to Israeli, Palestinian, Syrian and Lebanese negotiators.
But Abdullah's proposal was, as Syrian political analyst Imad Shoueibi said, "the first time that the Arabs say as a group. 'We are ready for peace.'"
Syria's state-run newspapers offered indirect support yesterday for the Saudi initiative. Tishrin highlighted the "convergence" of Abdullah's ideas with Syria's national principles, but Al-Thawra, another government paper, expressed reservations.
Hesham Youssef, spokesman for Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa, said in Cairo that Syrian support for the Saudi plan was "important" since Syria is "a main part of the conflict."
Youssef wouldn't speculate on the summit's outcome, but he said "the general attitude is more toward supporting" the Saudi plan.
Arafat's attendance is crucial. The Palestinians say Abdullah has assured them he won't even submit his proposal for discussion if Arafat doesn't show up in Beirut.
Israeli troops have kept Arafat pinned down for the past three months at his offices in the West Bank town of Ramallah.
Latest Israeli-Palestinian clash leaves 14 dead in ongoing conflict
Associated Press
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Israeli planes, helicopters and warships pounded Gaza yesterday in one of the fiercest assaults of the Palestinian uprising. Twelve Palestinians and two Israeli soldiers were killed in violence in Gaza and the West Bank.
Seven of the Palestinians died in fighting in Gaza. Five others died in separate incidents, including a Hamas activist killed in an explosion at his Gaza City home.
Late yesterday, an Israeli helicopter fired a missile at Yasser Arafat's headquarters in the West Bank town of Ramallah, where the Palestinian leader has been trapped for three months by Israeli forces. The missile exploded 50 feet from Arafat's office as he was meeting with a European Union envoy. No one was hurt, officials said.
Sharon's foreign minister, Shimon Peres, however, said force was not the answer. "A cease-fire cannot be achieved just by using fire," Peres said.
Amid the worst spate of violence since the start of the conflict 17 months ago, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon promised Israel would strike "without let up" until Palestinian militants' attacks on Israelis are reined in.
A spokesman for another Cabinet minister, Avigdor Lieberman, confirmed a sardonic closed-door exchange during which Peres told Lieberman that excessively harsh measures against the Palestinians could lead to war-crimes accusations.
In an offensive that began late Tuesday and continued into yesterday in Gaza, Israel fired on targets from the land, sea and air."
Arafat's home in Gaza City and a U.N.-run school for the blind were badly damaged by shrapnel from an air strike Tuesday night on a nearby security compound.
The death of Hamas activist, Abdel Rahman Ghadal, was announced over mosque loudspeakers near his Gaza City home, and the announcement blamed an Israeli missile strike — a claim that could not be confirmed. Israel has carried out dozens of targeted killings of those believed to have orchestrated attacks against Israelis.
Soldiers shot and killed two Palestinians who were trying to plant a bomb near a crossing point between Gaza and Israel, military sources said.
In clashes, two Israeli soldiers were killed by Palestinian fire, the military said. The heaviest fighting was reported in the villages of Abassan and Karrara in southern Gaza, where witnesses said 12 tanks moved into the area, drawing intense Palestinian fire. Helicopter gun ships fired machine guns toward the gunmen, sending civilians scrambling for cover.
A 40-year-old Palestinian woman was killed by a shot in the back, and two other civilians were critically wounded, Palestinian doctors said. Israeli troops barred ambulances from reaching the two wounded men, who died after being left untreated for about three hours, the doctors said. There was no comment by the army.

GOODEN
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12A
"That life was cool, but I got into a lot of trouble out there," Gooden said. "Mom's discipline didn't work too good with boys. I came back and stayed with my dad throughout high school and I think it was the most crucial time of my life."
When he moved back in with his dad he shared a bedroom with his brother, while his dad, stepmom and sister slept on a day bed in the living room. His dad worked two jobs — during the day at the East Shore Community Center and a graveyard shift as a security guard — but the family still struggled to make ends meet.
"I wouldn't say I was the type of broke that when we came home the lights were out and it was nasty," he said. "I'm not talking about slums, I know that's worse. We were broke and sometimes we'd eat once a day. When the first and 15th comes, that's when the checks come. You strive for those days. The first, that's the day everything goes on. You're doing all right until the end of the week. Then you wait until the 15th. It's like living check to check. It was tough."
Only now is his father's family reaching financial security.
"They're all right now, but when I was growing up we didn't have any of that." Gooden said.
When Gooden was born, he weighed 9 pounds, 2 ounces and was 21 inches long. Doctors told Andrew that his son would grow to be nearly seven-feet tall.
Fatherly influence
K
Gooden could dribble a basketball shortly after he learned to walk. He said he remembered playing pick-up games with his dad — Andrew played at Central Washington University and professionally in Finland, where he met Ulla — in the park, in the street, in 35-and-over recreational leagues and one-on-one.
"When they told me that," Andrew said, "I stuck a basketball in his crib."
"It was nice that I had a father I could go out and play basketball with." he said.
Andrew trained his son to play

like a guard, remembering what the doctor had said about how tall his son would be, and taught Drew how to handle the ball, shoot from the outside and defend the perimeter.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
When Gooden grew four inches to 6-foot-8 between his sophomore and junior years at El Cerrito High school, those skills paid off. He starred his junior year as he led his team to the North Coast Section semifinals, but really blossomed in his senior season when he averaged 18.5 points and 13 rebounds per game and led his team to the Division III state finals.
But through it all, Andrew never had anything positive to say about his son's basketball skills. Gooden said.
"He never credited me on anything I did well," Gooden said. "I could've had 30 points but there was always something I could've done better."
Although his father gave him tough love when it came to basketball, Gooden said his dad was always there for him when he wanted to talk or just hang out.
"I was never a latch-key child," he said.
Why Kansas?
Gooden is big on fate and things happening for a reason. Ask him if he resents the way he lived during his childhood, and from his answer you would think he grew up at DisneyLand.
"Even though my mom and dad are divorced that's something that happened 15, 16 years ago," he said. "I'm feeling fine, I'm feeling great. I don't regret that."
In fact, if his parents hadn't divorced and his mom and stepdidn't move to Fayetteville, Ark., Gooden might not be a Jayhawk.
The summer before his senior year he and his mom were driving to Chicago to catch a Cubs game. He noticed that I-70 was nearby, so he called Roy Williams — Kansas and other top-flight college basketball programs had been courting Gooden — and told the coach he'd like to visit Lawrence.
"I just fell in love with the program and coach Williams,"
On the way home from Chicago, Gooden and his mom stopped by for an unofficial visit.
Gooden said.
Gooden sales.
But it hasn't always been rosy for Gooden at Kansas. Williams dubbed him "Hurricane Drew" during his freshman year because Gooden wasn't accustomed to Williams' demanding and disciplined style of basketball. The coach even went so far to tell Gooden, "They pay me a good salary at Kansas. I can afford a bus ticket for you to go back home."
Gooden said Williams' strict coaching contrasted with the relaxed style he became accustomed to in high school, and influenced his decision to attend Kansas.
"That's what I needed and I knew I was the type of player who needed that," Gooden said. "Coach was on me right away, and it helped me a lot throughout my whole college career." Gooden gone?
Maybe more so than he ever imagined. Gooden received little hype before this season began, but now everyone from Dick Vitale to the lady next door says Gooden — he is the Big 12 Conference Player of the Year and has an outside chance of upsetting
Duke's Jason Williams for Player of the Year honors — is a top-five pick if he enters the NBA Draft.
Gooden has hinted that he would leave Kansas after this season, but said he would not make the final decision until it ends.
His parents have said they would like him to stay another year and finish his degree, but would support whatever conclusion he reaches. Williams said he thought Gooden, who led the Big 12 with 20.6 points and 11.1 rebounds per game this season, was a long way from reaching his potential and drooled over the possibility of having Gooden, Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich as seniors.
"Some teams would really need to tie it on against us," Williams said.
Ultimately, the choice rests with Gooden and it's easy to understand the pull the NBA has on him.
"That's my dream, to play in the NBA and do that for my family." he said. "Whenever they give me a check or whatever, the first thing I'm going to do is take care of my family."
The dream of the NBA and the riches that accompany it linger in

the back of his mind, but Gooden's not letting it fog the goals he has for his current team.
"To be the last team standing in college basketball," he said. "there's not more that you can possibly do if you're the last team that got a win in college basketball."

Kara Pierce pitches against Pittsburg State yesterday afternoon. The Kansas softball team won the game 4-1 at Jayhawk Stadium.

really intense innings, we're as good as anyone around," she said. "It's something we talk about but haven't been able to do vet."
Senior Kelly Campbell said it was fun to finally be playing at home and because the team hadn't had a lot of practice time outside, the players enjoyed the opportunity to get two extra games in during the week.
"The weather was good today," she said. "And we'd be practicing anyway, so we'd rather play games."
Sophomore pitcher Kara Pierce dominated statistically from the mound, allowing two hits, one run and two walks while recording six strike-outs in seven innings of play. But Bunge said there's still aspects of Pierce's game that she needs to work on.
"Her curve ball was a little inconsistent today." Bunge said. "Her drop ball was nice, but this was a good game for Kara to work through some things. This was a team that didn't make her pav for some of her mistakes."
Although Div. II Pittsburgh State was not able to capitalize on some of the Jayhawks' mistakes, Bunge said it was exactly games such as yesterday's and today's.
that could cause the Jayhawks' problems.
"Number one, we respect every opponent we play." Bunge said. "For some teams, playing us can be the highlight of their season. Those teams can come up and bite you. We can't let who we play affect how we play. I've challenged our team to play seven very intense innings tomorrow."
Kansas will get the chance to meet that challenge at 4 p.m. today against Emporia State at Jayhawk Field.

Junior first baseman Pat Holmes was 4-for-5 with a home run, and junior shortstop Brandon Shepard contributed five hits and three RBL. It was the 11th time in the team's 123-year history that a Jayhawk had recorded five hits in a game.

Senior Randy Strann, the first of six pitchers, threw four innings, allowing just one hit and no runs to earn the victory.
"It was good to get all of our pitchers out there," Randall said. "I thought they did well again."
Junior catcher Beau Thompson hits a ground ball and heads for first base. Kansas defeated Avila College 24-3 yesterday at Hoglund Ballpark.
Most of the starters were substituted out in the middle innings, but the hits kept coming. In all, 12 different Jayhawks recorded hits, and the team had
14 extra-base hits on the day, including a record-tying four triples.
"We had a lot of guys do well," Randall said. "I was glad to see some of the guys that hadn't been
playing much get some hits. "Mission accomplished."

LOS ANGELES — Cookie Roberts is leaving her Sunday ABC talk show in the fall, making the announcement as the news division is roiled by reports that the network is hoping to replace Ted Koppel with David Letterman.
ABC made no announcement regarding Donaldson beyond
"We've started very preliminary conversations about what other role I might play at ABC," Roberts said Tuesday. She will also continue reporting for National Public Radio and writing a column and books.
The Associated Press
Roberts said she made the decision 18 months ago when she was renegotiating her contract with ABC. She and Sam Donaldson began anchoring This Week in 1996.

November. "We haven't even had an opportunity since Cokie's announcement late yesterday to speak with Sam about his ideas for the future of the broadcast." network spokesman Jeffrey Schneider said yesterday.

"I have three grandchildren, two of whom are in California and one in London, who I don't see anywhere near enough," said Roberts, who is married to journalist Steven V. Roberts.
Roberts said ending her This Week duties would give her more weekend time with her family.
"She is a remarkable journalist and broadcaster with a large and loyal following," said ABC News
Roberts, 58, will leave "This Week" after the fall elections and when her two-year contract expires. She's been with ABC News since 1988.
President David Westin. "We're gratified that she will continue to be an important part of ABC News even after she changes her role."
Roberts' announcement comes as another ABC News program, Nightline, is caught up in turmoil dealing with reports that ABC and its corporate parent, the Walt Disney Co., are courting David Letterman to replace the late-night news program Koppel has anchored for 22 years.
Letterman's contract with CBS, where he has starred on Late Show since 1993, is up for renewal this summer.
Koppel reportedly learned about the Letterman discussions last Thursday, hours before news broke in The New York Times. This has prompted criticism from his colleague, Barbara Walters.

COMMENTARY
Ryan Malashock rmalashock@kansan.com
Baseball team has a chance to improve
The real season begins tomorrow.
And no, I'm not referring to Kansas' first-round contest in the Big 12 Conference Basketball Tournament.
I'm talking about our very own "boys of summer," the often forgotten and overlooked Jayhawk baseball team. Kansas, off to a school-record 9-0 start and ranked in a poll — No.31 — for the first time in seven years, opens its Big 12 season with three games this weekend at Hoglund Ballpark against nationally ranked Texas A&M.
Coach Bobby Randall, in his seventh year at Kansas, could be coaching the best team nobody knows about. Or, this squad could be a carbon copy of disappointing Kansas baseball teams of years past. The problem is, Kansas' opening platter of non-conference cupcakes leaves no room for judgment.
Calling Kansas' 9-0 mark inflated would be a monumental understatement. The 'Hawks have beat up on the likes of Centenary and Wisconsin-Milwaukee and had games with Northwestern and Creighton postponed. True, those teams won't be knocking on the College World Series door anytime soon, but in disposing of their non-conference opponents, the Jayhawks find themselves in an all-too familiar position.
Mimicking the early 1990s Kansas State football method of scheduling, Kansas baseball teams always possess a high winning percentage entering Big 12 play. In Randall's seven seasons, Kansas' combined winning percentage entering the Big 12 season is .661 (41-21). In Big 12 competition the last six years, it's .291 (51-124).
So, the trend would indicate that Kansas would be on its way to yet another dismal Big 12 season. But, contrary to popular belief, I'm convinced that this team can compete.
The Jayhawks have shown major improvements in power and pitching, the two lacking aspects of last year's squad.
These Jayhawks should have no trouble hitting the long ball. Last year, a home run was about as remote as a Drew Gooden three-pointer. At this point last season, the team had hit only two home runs. As of now, Kansas has knocked 13.
Junior college transfer Pat Holmes has made an immediate impact with four home runs. Sophomore Matt Tribble and junior Kevin Wheeler have already surpassed their home run totals from last year. Sophomore Ryan Baty has displayed no ill effects from last year's shoulder surgery and has two home runs.
The Jayhawk pitching situation appeared bleak at best after the team lost its entire starting pitching staff from a year ago. But some relative unknowns have stepped to the forefront. Kansas has improved its team earned run average by more than three runs from a year ago at this point. Seniors Jeff Davis, Dan Olson and Jake Wright make up a rotation that should compete in the Big 12.
After leading the Jayhawks to six straight losing conference seasons, this undoubtedly should be Randall's last chance at resrecting a winner.
But the cards are in his favor. Randall has more talent on this team than any other during his tenure.
Whether Kansas can break the Big 12 hex is left to be seen. It all begins tomorrow.
Malashock is an Omaha, Neb., junior in journalism.
Drew's World
Gooden has applied lessons from life to the court
By Doug Pacey Kansan sportswriter
Drew Gooden stared intently at a college basketball game on television as reporters peppered the junior with questions about his past.
"How did your parents' divorce affect you?"
"What is 'dead-broke'?"
None of the queries fazed the 20-year-old basketball superstar. Gooden replied to each question with a thoughtful response and even joked about inquiries that others might think twice about answering.
"How broke is dead-broke?" Gooden said as he cocked his neck and his eyes ventured toward the ceiling. "We were broke. Like trying to find a place to stay, a place to live other than the car or something like that."
This is the Drew Gooden that nobody but his family and close friends know. He isn't simply a human dunking machine. He's more than just a Kansas basketball player. Different worlds
Gooden's parents divorced when he was in elementary school and his dad, Andrew, received custody of him. He lived with his dad, stepmom Adrienne, brother Antonio and sister
When he stayed with his mom, Ulla Lear, on the weekends, it was like visiting the Twilight Zone.
Ariel in a cramped one-bedroom apartment in Richmond, Calif., during the week.
"We were broke basically, we didn't have any money," Gooden said of life with his father. "We couldn't have everything we wanted or that we needed. It was just basically getting by. When I visited my mom on the weekends she was always squared away financially and I got to see how that type of lifestyle was as a child.
"I was fortunate. I got to see both sides."
As a child, Gooden said he had trouble understanding why his parent's divorced, but now that he's grown he's not perplexed any more.
"Divorce is a hard thing to do between a couple," he said. "I see that now more than anything because I'm older now. But as a kid, it's really hard on the kids. It's not mommy and daddy that are together anymore."
After a few years of living with his father's family, Gooden moved in with his mom and stepdad, Jim Lear, during middle school. But as nice as it was to live in a home that always had food in the pantry and money for leisure activities, Gooden said he wanted to live with his dad.

Jayhawks slam Avila 24-3, win ninth straight game
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
The recent cold front that swept across the Midwest may have canceled five Kansas baseball games, but it did nothing to cool down Kansas' bats.
After an 11-day layoff, the Jayhawks returned with a bang, pounding out 25 hits and soundly defeating Avila College 24-3 yesterday at Hoglund Ballpark.
Kansas heads into Big 12 Conference play tomorrow undefeated at 9-0. With the loss, Avila dropped to 0-3 on the year.
"We came out hitting today, for sure," junior designated hitter Kevin Wheeler said.
Wheeler set the tone for the Kansas offense, blasting a grand slam as part of a five-run first inning. For the day, Wheeler went 2-for-3 with three runs and six RBI and pitched an inning of scoreless relief.

"Kevin Wheeler's home run changed the whole thing," coach Bobby Randall said. "That grand slam took the starch right out of them. That was a big one."
Wheeler had 10 RBI in his last two games, giving him 14 on the year. He said the time off may have been beneficial for the team.
"It might have been a blessing," he said. "We were winning but we weren't playing as good as we wanted to. We needed some time to practice

'Hawks victorious in Pittsburg
By Ali Brox
Kansas scheduled two additional games this week because rain canceled three games in a tournament last weekend and snow forced the postponement of Tuesday's scheduled home opener against Washburn University.
The weather cooperated with the Kansas softball team yesterday as the Jayhawks defeated Pittsburg State 4-1 in their home opener and improved their record to 6-7.
Kansan sportswriter

With bad weather possible for this weekend's Kansas Holiday Inn Invitational, the Jayhawks could face even more cancellations.
"It would be hard to lose eight games in ten days to weather," coach Tracy Bunge said. "We needed the opportunity to play some ball. We were looking for anyone who would play us."
runs in the first inning. Senior centerfielder Shelly Musser led off the game with a triple to right field and scored when freshman first baseman Lindsey Weinstein singled in the next at-bat. Weinstein advanced to second base on a wild pitch, stole third base and scored on a throwing error by the Gorillas' catcher.
The Jayhawks started yesterday's game very aggressively, scoring two
Kansas added two more runs in the third inning, but according to Bunge, the Jayhawks weren't able to maintain the intensity they showed during the first inning.

Big 12 names Williams its coach of year
By Doug Pacey
By Doug Pasyy Kansan sportswriter
Boy, have they ever.
Roy Williams promised his players at the beginning of the season that if they won as a team the individual awards would follow.
After leading No.1 Kansas to an undefeated 16-0 Big 12 Conference record, Williams netted three coach-of-the-year honors yesterday. The Associated Press and Big 12 coaches made him the Big 12's Coach of the Year and the United States Basketball Writers Association named him the District VI Coach of the Year.
"It's nice, but it's not something I set out to do," Williams said. "I set out for our team to win a conference championship. I tell our guys all the time to remember the greatest thrills you've had in athletics and it's always after a big win that turtles too
Williams
(1)
got. That's the way it is in coaching, too."
Williams said he was flattered to win the award in a conference with so many good coaches, but junior forward Nick Collison said no coach merited more recognition than Williams this season.
"To be able to win every game in conference," Collison said, "no one deserved it more."
Williams wasn't the only one who was honored. Drew Gooden was named District VI Player of the Year and earned First Team All-American honors.
Gooden and Kirk Hinrich also were named to the Big 12 coaches' First Team All-Big 12, while Collison made the second team and Boschee received honorable mention.
Bosche, Hinrich and Collison also were recognized as members of the 10-man All-District VI Team.

Swimsuit Edition
Find the skimpy something that suits you
By Louise Stauffer Jayplay writer
Just like hammer pants or mullets, wearing last year's bathing suit is unacceptable for the fashion conscious. Just like updated pants and a good haircut, newer, sleeker swimsuits will get the wearer more looks on the beach or by the pool than the dated styles, and will let people know that you're living in the now.
Buying a bathing suit is tricky: the pasty glow of winter skin is hard on the eyes, wallets are thin and the lighting of the dressing rooms is harsh. Never fear, guys and gals. Web sites and salespeople can help you find a suit you'll look forward to wearing.
The convenience of a Web site makes the choice attractive.
Victoria's Secret, Victoriassecret.com, includes suits from its new 2002 swimsuit catalog. According to the Web site from the Extra television show, extratv.warnerbros.com, the hot new trends for Victoria's
Secret include the colors black and white, preppy stripes and plaid, and retrofloral prints.
J. Crew, Jrew.com, has new styles and patterns as well, including paisley patterns, suits with laser cut designs, gingham patterns and many floral prints.
If a shopper wants to access different name brands of suits at one Web site, Bestswimwear.com, bestswimwear.com, had brands such as Blink, Sauvage and Jamaican Style.
Nottrying on the swimsuit youbuy is the downside to shopping online and many times a dressing room is needed to see if a style works for you.
Cassasndre Connolly, New York sophomore and employee at Urban Outfitters, 1013 Massachusetts St., said that customers found some styles in the store more flattering than others.
In the store many have learned that
"A lot of girls find the crochet
bathsuitings to be really flattered," she
said "blocks good laziness."
Connolly said that tube is slid.

THE BEST OF THEIR SONGS
Meghan Bainum, Jayplay sex columnist and associate Jayplay editor, and Andy Gassaway, Rawk Snob columnist, gave up an afternoon in the sake of research to go to Shark's Surf Shop, 813 Massachusetts St., to check the comfort of current styles. Bainum said that she liked the cover-up pants she tried on.
AARON LERNER/KANSAN
"They rock. For someone who is hip- and thigh-conscious, they're great."
Gassaway tried on some popular styles of Hawaiian floral prints and a suit with a lot of pockets. He said he appreciated the extra space.
"There's a lot of room to store stuff in," he said, "I like the utility style.

A good mix tape can liven up any road trip
Afternoon-long games of slug bug! Endless rounds of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat!"
A. J. P. S. S. A. L. O. N. I. T. R. S. E
Making a long-distance spring break pilgrimage in a car inadequately equipped with decent traveling music can put you at risk of experiencing any or all of these mind-numbing dangers of the open road.
Awkward, belabored conversation!
That is why I suggest taking some time to compile your best road music to help the hours pass painlessly.
While I get the feeling that most people, despite their seething player hate, actually enjoy the fresh, freestylin' rhymes I bust to the rhythm of the windshield wipers during long treks, my experience tells me that a mix tape truly wins out over any other form of vehicular entertainment.
Andy Gassaway agassaway@karisan.com
COMMENTARY
Just in case you've exhausted your collection of mixable material, here's a list of songs I have made a policy of never leaving out of the road trip equation:
"TV Party" — Black Flag, 1983.
Never before has the idea of wasting
time in front of a TV drinking beer sounded so gallant. This classic L.A. punk song from the earliest reaches of Henry Rollins' recorded oeuvre is perfect for driving, and the chant at the end hailing shows like Hill Street Blues and The Fall Guy is hilarious.
Quite possibly one of the coolest nighttime cruising songs of all time, this one makes expert use of an echoing, danceable drum beat with a shimmering guitar cascade that has become instantly recognizable, regardless of your stance on Morrisey.
"How Soon is Now?" — The Smiths, 1985.
"Player's Ball" - Outkast, 1994.
My friends who are really into hiphop tell me they like this because of its "flow." I don't really know enough about the genre to go tossing out lingo like that, but the slow, heavy beat and the gut-rumbling bass line makes my '92 Ford Ranger feel like a '77 DeVille every time.
Less new-wavey and more British than the Police, Paul Weller and The Jam was never able to catch a break in the States, but penned a few great garage rock songs nonetheless. This one, which is about a rugby team as far as I can tell, rocks no matter what they're talking about with subdued verses that explode into a guitar-driven war cry custom-made for running the roads.
"Eaton Rifles" — Paul Weller and the Iarn. 1979.
"Beat on the Brat" — The Ramones, 1976
It's not necessary to single out a specific Ramones song for a road trip, as most of this New York punk ensemble's catalog would probably fit the bill, but this one gets heavy air play on KJHK and is thus fresh on my mind. Anyway, it's
fast, the guitars are loud, and you can chant, "Oh, yeah!" along with it over and over again. What else do you need?
"Barnburner" — Split Lip Rayfield, 1998.
I never expected myself to become a bluegrass appreciator, but it's hard not to love this Wichita four-piece's marriage of traditional instrumentation and metallic lure. Like a tornado tearing a barn apart, this song appears, beats you senseless, then disappears, prompting repeated listens.
"Teenage Riot" — Sonic Youth, 1988.
Though their dreary guitar noise experimentation has been known to actually make driving difficult from time to time, this tune, from their 1988 Daydream Nation LP, is uncharacteristically sunny and optimistic. Dying to find the New York art-rock equivalent of "Fun, Fun, Fun?" Me neither, but you get the idea.
Finding the time to string together the best of your road rock takes time, but in the end, you'll definitely be glad you did. Remember: only you can prevent mundane car trips.

bday (March 7)
Today's Birthday (March 7).
You'll learn quickly this year, with the help of good friends. You'll save time and effort by following their advice instead of learning everything the hard way. Trust your own judgment in romance, however. Your intuition will be right most of the time.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 6. The good news is that Venus is moving into your sign. That should make you luckier in love through the end of the month. The bad news is thattoday, you'll be held accountable for all your actions.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is an 8.
Why not try something different? Take another route to work, and take the long way home. Sign up for a class. Stop by the library and find out about something new. You'll feel refreshed.
Gemini (May 21- June 21). Today is a 6.
You like raking in the dough, but you're not that keen on shelling it out. That's no excuse for making mistakes. Pay attention while paying your bills. You can find ways to save.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7.
You know who a perfect match for you would
be? A bossy sort of person — a take-charge,
make-things-happen type. Somebody who'll
protect you. Somebody you can inspire. Look
around.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 6.
There's no more time to worry about who said
what to whom. It doesn't really matter now,
because there's more work coming in to keep
you busy.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is an 8.
The time to take action is here. You'll know when the exact moment arrives, if you're watching.
This is what all your preparation has been for. Be bold.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) today is a b.
Discretion is advised. Even if you know the right answer, don't blurt it out. Only tell the person who really needs to know — and tell them quickly.
蟹
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 7.
Are you contemplating a new project? Don't know quite how you'll do it? Start by spreading the work around. The more people you get involved, the easier it will be. And, the more fun it will be.
Two people
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is an 8.
You're smart, and getting smarter. You can set up your job to practically do itself. That'll leave you more time to listen to a loved one who needs your attention.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 6.
You'd rather make your fortune through a winning lottery ticket than through hours of back-breaking labor. But you have to earn that dollar in order to buy the ticket. Keep at it.
LION

LA SALUD DEL CIVILIZARIO
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 6.
Take a while to mull over your present situation.
Don't let yourself be pushed into anything.
Something you don't quite understand is about
to become clear.
SCORPIO
Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar 20). Today is a 7.
Stick with what you know is right, even if you're in the minority. More people may agree with you than you realize. You'll eventually hear from them.

No exotic place necessary for an erotic spring break
Spring break is a time for the frisky animal that is the college student to work on some of the sexual tension caused by the coming of the spring.
S
Some people go to exotic locals like Amsterdam, Las Vegas or Jamaica. And obviously, a hot European named Paulo makes for romps worthy of the sacred time that is spring break. And Jamaica, geez, even masturbation would be better when done in the shade of a palm tree. Just be warned — sand is a definite mood killer.
just be warned — sand is a delicate mood mine.
But say your "exotic" location is your girlfriend or boyfriend's bedroom. Yeah, the roommates might be gone and there might be new candles — but no palm trees. No Paulo either.
And if you're single and looking, you're stuck with the same old scenery in more ways than one.
Speaking of a good view, try looking into your partner's eyes while having sex - and while orgasming. It's a passionate way to blow both your minds.
SEXCOLUMN
Meghan Bainum mbainum@kansan.com
But exotic adventures can be had — even in Lawrence.
Newer couples should take the week to expand their sexual horizons. Try incorporating a sex toy into your time together, or try a new position, even one that gives your partner a good view of you having sex together.
If you've been with your partner for a while, try kickin' it old school with sex. Have some hot make-out sessions, and fool around like horny teenagers until you can't take it anymore.
If you're on your own or looking around, try seducing someone at the bar for a one-night stand. Go after the lead singer of the band or that too-hot-to-believe guy or girl you've
wanted to lick all night. In any case you'll have a story to tell that will stand up to your friends' tales of San Pedro.
Of course remember, whether in San Pedro or The Sandbar, use a condom when you score.
Spring break can even be an erotic adventure if you're the solo sexual type. Use spring break to put the "Mmmm" back in masturbation. Work on teasing yourself to the point of no return, then backing off. Keep teasing until you can't stand it. Mess around with vibrators, anal beads, cucumbers — or all three.
No matter how you get off, make the most of your orgasm. Make a lot of noise when you get off. Moan, scream, cry — let your lover know you're having fun.
Make the most of your week — even in Lawrence. Enjoy the lovely weather, and get it on hot and dirty spring-break style. No palm tree needed.

Quality time can be fun, but keep these tips in mind
Ladies, spring break is around the corner and undoubtedly many couples are excited to have a week of relief from classes that they can use to spend time together.
Unfortunately, this can sometimes amount to too much time for some guys in relationships, so here are five tips to help ensure that extra time spent with your guy is of the utmost quality:
1. Let him look. Many couples decide to take trips to beaches where half-naked people run around. It is human nature to check out who else is out there. If you're being totally honest, you'll be checking out the other scenery, too. It doesn't mean we don't love our partners, it means that, like other people, we admire a nice body.
2. Avoid snooping Whether on a trip together or just staying home, chances are you'll be in your guy's living quarters much more than usual. Give him his privacy, and don't be tempted to go through his things. Trust me. You don't want to know why there is a crusty towel under his bed or why he secretly has a stash of Britney Spears CDs hidden in his dresser drawer.
3. Realize arguments are going to happen Unfortunately, the more people are around each other, the more they will argue. In general, couples hold back annoyances until they explode. When this happens, relax. Take some time to yourself. When you see each other, you can make up. Making up can make all of the fighting worth it.
RELATIONSHIPS COLUMN
James Manning jmanning@kansan.com
4. Go on an adventure or do something
exciting If you've not planned a trip, try to find one day during the break where you and your guy can do something out of the ordinary. Take a road trip to a small town with a strange tourist attraction, visit the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City or even live out a sexual fantasy. Do something above and beyond your normal relationship.
5. Give him space Above all, give him space He doesn't need you to be there every second. Realize he might need a night out with the guys, and let him have it. If you have time apart, it makes all the time you spend together even more special.
Follow these five pieces of advice, and it's likely you and your beloved will have a great spring break. Remember, never take any time together for granted. Be innovative and have fun.

Alternative Breaks link students with service
By Meghan Brune Jayplay writer
Beer, bikinis and lazy afternoons are not prerequisites for all successful spring break excursions. For 138 University of Kansas students, there will be other concerns to fill the week away from school.
This spring break, students can experience a different trip. From March 15 through the 23, seven students will hike down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and remove non-native blackberry bushes from Grand Canyon National Park on a trip sponsored by the Alternative Breaks program.
Students on the trip are required to bring their own food to the bottom of the canyon and carry all of their trash out with them, said Sarah Porter, Ottawa junior.
During the week students will also camp out, work with park rangers and at the end of the week, teach elementary students what they have learned.
Craig Bennett, Topeka senior, is a site leader for the trip. Bennett said he wanted to give back to the program as a site leader.
"I had heard from a friend who going on an alternative break was his most amazing experience at KU." he said.
Besides dedicating the week off, students are required to participate in a weekly class for a semester and take a weekend-long mini-break together.
On the mini break, the group practiced camping and teamwork skills at Hillsdale Lake in Ottawa. The group also aided in clearing the trails of fallen branches from the recent ice storm.
"Our team has really come together and gotten to know each other." Bennett said.
KU's Alternative Break program started eight years ago with a spring trip to El Paso, Texas. This spring, students are preparing to volunteer at 19 locations, including: Washington D.C., Tree Utah in Salt Lake City, New York City, Seguro National Park in Arizona and St. Mark's Wildlife Refuge in Florida.
"KU has one of the best and biggest programs in the nation," said Kendra Seaman, Wichita senior and co-coordinator of Alternative Breaks.
The program seeks applicants who are willing to work together.
"We want to make sure people are really committed to their trip," Seaman said.
Porter said she had fun and learned on the Alternative Breaks trips she had taken.
"I just wish I would have gotten involved earlier" she said.
The Alternative Breaks program was developed from a national service movement in schools across the country. The program's mission is to "create lifelong links between students and service."
The sites are based on location and service type. Each trip focuses on issues of education, cultural diversity, health, homeless and the environment, and devotes the week to its cause. Every year Alternative Breaks integrate new trips into the program to accommodate changing interests and issues.
"The national organization Break Away has set up a communication database between participating schools," Seaman said. "We share ideas and find new site through other people's experiences."

Jen Harms — for one — knows the lure of the open road, the thrill of, as she said, "going out without any specific plan and doing whatever catches your interest."
This spring break the Shawnee freshman plans to head into the wilderness of Kansas' backyard.
"Everyone thinks Kansas is so boring, that there's nothing to do," she said.
"But they just don't try to find out what's out there."
While others may choose more exotic destinations for their mid-semester travels, small town Kansas offers something just as interesting to the adventuresome student: a nearly dizzying array of off-beat museums, roadside "attractions" and historical anomalies immortalized for generations of curious tourists.
Here's just a sampling of what Kansas has to offer for the not-so average college road-trip:
Barbed Wire Museum in La Crosse.
Call 785-222-9900 for tours.
In the early days of the West, any renegade cowboy would be ill-advised to leave home without his wire cutters.
While a pistol was certainly useful in settling disagreements, a good pair of cutters was needed to successfully — and illegally — get across the land freshly speckled with barbed wire fences.
The Barbed Wire Museum attempts to preserve the rich and varied history of barbed wire use and misuse over the decades since its invention in the 1800s.
The museum — kept in a one-room metal building near the edge of town — contains more than 2,000 varieties of barbed wire samples, along with the various tools used in farm and fence-maintenance. Ultra-menacing, thorny models used in prisons and wars are displayed next to standard, two-stranded farm wire.
Garden of Eden in Lucas, open 1 to 4 p.m. daily.
You could safely say that S.P. Dinsmoor was eccentric.
The adamant Populist and Lucas resident built a log cabin out of stone, then filled his yard with concrete versions of
Old Testament characters.
He also rigged a megaphone up to a pole and used to spend hours professing his beliefs to passers-by, and he constructed a large mausoleum for himself — charging visitors a quarter to gaze at him through a glass window, resting in his future coffin — and at age 81 married his 20-year-old housekeeper.
The mysterious "elephant ears," also in Lucas.
Now, years after Dinsmoor was forever intered into his beloved tomb, his sculptural version of earthly paradise continues to enthrall visitors to the Garden of Eden.
Jarvis Cocker, lead singer of Pulp, was reportedly very moved when he roamed the grounds of the Garden of Eden a few years ago during the filming of a British documentary on outsider art.
The rock star, looking quite "scrawny and stringy-haired," according to sometimes-groundskeeper Connie Daugherty. visited a local bake sale to help with the town's fund-raising efforts.
"He bought some elephant ears, which are sort of flat, fried sweet bread," Daugherty said. "For the rest of the day, he couldn't stop talking about them."
A gigantic version of one of Vincent van Gogh's sunflower paintings in Goddard.
The recently erected van Gogh painting, which sits on an 80-foot-tall easel, is one of only seven such works throughout the world. Goddard was chosen as a site by project originator Cameron Crosse because it's — what else — the "sunflower capital" of Kansas
World's Largest Hand-Dug Well in Greensburg, open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
Greensburg uses its own water tow as a promotional tool for the town's resident tourist attraction.
From miles away, curious visitors can see two words — "big well" — and a green arrow pointing down. But it's only upon arrival that one finds that the structure below isn't just any deep hole, but the "World's Largest Hand Dug Well."
Dug in the 1940s by crews working
only with the barest equipment hands, shovels and one miserable "halfa-barrel"—the well served for years as Greensburg's water supply until retiring as a just a "marvel of pioneer engineering" in 1932.
Thrill seckers can descend the 105 steps to the well's bottom for a paltry $1.50. In return for throwing caution — and a few good-luck coins — to the wind, each adventuresome tourist receives a souvenir from the nearby museum.
"World's Largest Ball of Twine" in Cawker City.
The huge bundle was started by industrious farmer Frank Stoeber, who had previously used the roping to bind hay-bales. There's some disagreement if Stoeber did indeed construct the largest ball because another nearly identical one rests in Darwin, Minn. Both balls get increasingly bigger during their respective communities' annual twine binding festivals.

Honors class to go overseas for spring break
By Becky McClelland Jayplay writer
Getting away from school, going someplace warm and not thinking for nine days straight might sound like the perfect spring break trip, but 14 University of Kansas students think differently. The members of Honors 492: The London Review will travel to London during spring break where a professor plans to keep them thinking.
The group plans to do many things in London, including taking a Beatles' tour, going to a Druid festival and seeing the British Museum.
J. Burkhart, Omaha, Neb., junior, is taking the opportunity to research possible job openings at English-teaching schools while in London.
"It's not the cheesy, drunken college student activity." Mandy Michlin, Eden Prairie, Minn., freshman, said. "There's a little more to it than that."
Andy Marso, St. Cloud, Minn., sophomore, is the only male student going on the trip.
"Do I need any other motivation?"
Marso joked.
Aside from spending spring break with 14 women, he looks forward to visiting the Sherlock Holmes' museum and experiencing other cultures. This will be Marso's first trip outside of North America.
London Review sponsor and English professor Mary Klayer, who has taken students to London for four years, thinks the timing and the trip length have unique advantages.
"It's definitely just a taste of the city ... but it's not as crowded now," Klayder said.
This year she's bringing along her 11-year-old son, Anthony, which she said would add a new perspective to the group
Burkhart said gaining perspective was the best reason to study abroad.
"Different cultures offer different perspectives of the world," she said, "and I want to try and see as many perspectives as possible."

Skiing offers unique opportunity
By Brad Weiner Jayplay writer
When school resumes after spring break, University of Kansas students will play the popular game of "name that tan." The game consists of guessing where people spent their week off based on their carefully browned, or accidentally burned skin. The obvious sandal straps and bikini marks always are present, but the most distinguishable tan is that of the raccoon-faced ski goggle.
Skiing is a popular spring break option because the normally expensive resorts offer enormous discounts in their declining season. Skiing also is attractive to students who prefer the white gold of mountain snow to that of sandy beaches.
The most popular ski destinations are Colorado resorts such as Keystone, Breckenridge, Winter Park and Vail, because of their proximity to Lawrence, amazing ski terrain and nighttime party options.
Before hitting the slopes, people should know a few things.
Alpine skiing (and snowboarding for all of those knucklewalkers out there) involves snow. It can ruin a perfectly expensive lift ticket if there is nothing to slide down on. A good way to avoid bad snow is to make an offering to Uler, the ancient Norwegian Snow God. Uler has recently been co-opted by ski bums everywhere as a way to increase the amount of fresh powder on any given mountain. In order to make an offer, it is important to get rid of something old, preferably by burning it.
Ski town night life is an important part of any ski vacation. After all, what else is there to do between the times when the lifts close at night and open again in the morning?
we couldn't possibly have more goin' on...
Live music is a great way to alleviate the sore legs left by a day on the moguls. Frequently, highly regarded, nationally touring acts play several nights in the major Colorado ski towns. These musicians hit the slopes too and often
Each year ski resorts hold massive snow parties with a large bonfire. Skiers usually throw their old ski equipment into the fire as a sacrifice to Uler. The nicer the gear, the better the snow. For those who aren't the sacrificial type, check out snow.yahoo.com for updates on the conditions.
Although most college students go on prepackaged Spring Break ski trips that are relatively inexpensive, precious dollars can be saved for the important things in life: namely, beer. Rent skis and purchase lift tickets and food in Denver, because prices go up with the elevation in the mountains. By the time Vail rolls around even New York City can seem like a bargain. This credo will keep the pocketbook healthy in the birthplace of the rip-off.
accommodate their skiing by gigging around at the bottom of the mountain. Sometimes the best chance to see great bands is in intimate settings. Don't forget to try the local microbrews.
Speaking of beer, it's easy to spot the tourist implants by those who can read a Kansan through their thin beer. Stouts, porters and ales, mixed with a few cold shots of Jagermeister, are guaranteed to keep any powder hound warm throughout the night, and sometimes into the next day.
Those who travel to a snowy destination should always be careful on the mountain. Every year thousands of people are injured skiing. The injuries can include altitude sickness, exhaustion, nausea, dehydration, snow blindness, torn ACLs (the most common ski injury), broken bones and death. Never ski in overly difficult terrain and take precautions like drinking tons of non-alcoholic water, sleeping well and partying moderately.
These measures will guarantee the best chances at getting to carve some freshies in the sick pow-pow, rally the whammy, go big, rock a few slices of Beau Jo's and translate the final sentence of this article.

Students just want to go home
C. J. Jackson Kansan correspondent
Spring break is a chance to leave the windy sidewalks of the University of Kansas, and head off for fun in the sun. Breaking waves, funky colored drinks with little umbrellas and beach volleyball are awaiting students who head off to exotic locales like Cancun, Mexico; Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; or South Padre, Texas.
But not everybody wants to go to these places.
For students whose homes are far away from school, spring break is one of the few chances they get to go home during the school year.
"Spring break is one of maybe three opportunities I have during the year that I can go home," Chad Clarke, San Diego, Calif., freshman said.
That kind of time commitment isn't always conducive to jetting home to get laundry done; it's less than other students face in a commute home.
"It takes me twelve hours to drive home," Jason Stewart, Mayfield, Ky., sophomore, said. "It can be a bear."
Still, some students who have a relatively short trip home face difficulties getting home other than on breaks.
Travis Trader. St. Louis, sophomore said it was hard for him to get home because he lived more than three hours away and didn't have a car.
"Breaks are about the only time I can justify having my parents come and get me," he said.
Despite the difficulties students face with getting home, they have many reasons to justify their efforts.
"I haven't been back since
Christmas," Heather Keylon, Albuquerque, N.M. freshman, said. "I'm looking forward to seeing my friends and family. I miss the mountains and the weather, and just the familiarity and comfort of being home." she said.
Trader said his friends and family were a driving force in going home for spring break.
"I want to see my girlfriend, and my family," he said. "I'll get to go visit some of my friends at school too."
Stewart said he had another reason for going home for spring break.
"Home is probably just about the best place in the entire world to relax and get away from the worries of school," he said.

Forget the beautiful beaches of Jamaica. Some University of Kansas students are planning their spring break according to where the men's basketball team will be playing.
"I went to Panama City last year, and it rained a lot. This will be better because nothing matches the excitement of the NCAA tournament," Scott Newell, Topeka junior, said. "Plus I think we are definitely going to the Elite Eight with high hopes of the Final Four."
Newell said he planned to leave next Thursday and travel by car with a group of friends to St. Louis.
Leslie Putnam, Oakland Iowa, senior, said her reason for following the team during break
was because she had gone to tropical places in the past.
"I had a really good time when I went to Jamaica, but I would much rather be on the road with friends watching amazing college basketball." Putnam said.
During the last week of January, students could pick up applications for tickets to see the men's team play in St. Louis, Madison, Wis., and/or Atlanta, depending on where the team goes. Students could check the venues they wanted to attend on the application.
After the application deadline, which was 5 p.m. on FEB. 8, the tickets were assigned to students who checked in Allen Fieldhouse to see if they got their preferred destination tickets.
Ticket prices for the first round of the tournament in St. Louis are $150. For Round two in Madison
the ticket prices went down to $110. Tickets for the Final Four in Atlanta, were $160, $140 or $120, depending on how many tickets the University acquires.
Newell and Putnam, who are traveling with the same group, said this would be a cheap spring break. Including the cost of tickets, they estimated spending around $500 each.
If the Jayhawks make it past the Big 12 Tournament this weekend, they will then most likely play on Thursday, March 14, and Saturday, March 16, in St. Louis. The team's next destination would be Madison, for the Sweet 16, and the Elite Eight and then to the Final Four in Atlanta.

a saring.
"I like cover-ups. You can walk around in your bathing suit and a cover up and be comfortable," Culp said. "But I wear skirts and sarongs instead of the pants."
Ashley Sloan, Manhattan sophomore and employee at Shark's Surf Shop, 813 Massachusetts St., said that the most popular new styles for women were the triangle tops with crisscross straps in the back and tops with a strap over one shoulder.
A new pants trend that could be used as a cover-up was seen at Shark's. Sarongs and skirts that match women's bathing suits were still sold, but pants made from matching material were more present.
"If you have big boobs then you're going to need more support, the construction of the suit is going to cost more," she said.
material were more important. Lesley Culp, Chicago freshman, said that she might like the pants if they were similar to a sarong.
If one has the problem of being one size on top, and another on the bottom, some swimwear lines sell the pieces separately, so the customer is able to mix and match.
Culp said that the price could vary depending on the style and support of the suit.
Joe Flannery, owner of Weaver's Department Store, 901 Massachusetts St., said that some swimsuit lines at the store sold separates, as in, one sized top with a different sized bottom. Flannery said that that choice was convenient for customers.
Flannery said that popular styles this season include boy shorts, triangle tops, solid colors and ethnic or floral prints.
"They sell better every year," he said. "Girls can choose whether they want a thong or boy shorts — they're really popular."

Tips on earning fast cash
Katherine Curtis
Kansan correspondent
Spring break plans can send a student into debt or deplete their precious savings accounts.
Chris Colyer, Phoenix sophomore, plans to spend about $400 on his spring break trip to Panama City, Fla., while Valerie Jimenez, Wichita sophomore, says she will spend about $1,000 on her vacation to Cancun, Mexico. Both are still saving for the break, although it's only a week and a day away.
Work
If you are short of cash and your family and friends aren't in the loan-shark business, here are some last-minute ways to make some extra dough:
For those of you with a regular job, picking up some extra hours is an obvious way to make more money. For those without a job, temporary opportunities to make money can be found through employment services such as Manpower, Kelly Services, Adecco, Century Personnel, Express Personnel Services and Spherion.
"We have a number of different jobs," Jerry, owner of Express Personnel Services, 1800 E. 23rd St., said. "Most are multiple shifts. They are centered around food service, custodial jobs, office or clerical positions. We also work with a number of light industrial companies."
Sell something
Everyone has something to sell. Pawn that extra television or the camcorder you never use. Take your old CDs to Massachusetts Street, Kief's Downtown Music, 823 Massachusetts St., buys used CDs, tapes and records. Just remember to bring the original covers.
Downtown also has places to sell clothes. Flush — attached to Java Break, 17 E. Seventh St. — Arizona
Trading Company, 734 Massachusetts St. and Sugartown Traders, 918 Massachusetts St. give the option to trade in your clothes for those in the store or to take a percentage of the selling value in cash.
You also can sell your plasma. NABI Biomedical,
816 W. 24th St., pays first and second time donors
$25. You must be 18-years-old and weigh 110-
pounds to donate. They also require proof of your
identity and current address.
File pour taxes electronically
With just a little more than a week left until spring break, this is not a sure deal. However, if you don't get your return before the trip, at least you won't be broke when you get back.
Ask around
Go clubbing
Ask your neighbors, family and friends if they have any odd jobs for you to do. Offer to clean their house or car for a lower price than a professional would charge. Just be careful you don't get more than you bargained for; some jobs need a professional.
For those who want a head start on spring break, enter the various contests offered at clubs around town. Coyote's Dance Club, 1003 E. 23d St., has a Thursday night "Best Butt" contest for both men and women. Coyote's also has a "Wet T-shirt" contest and a "Best Chest" contest on Saturday nights. Bada Bing, 913 N. Second, pays $500 to the winner of its "Ladies Amateur" contest on Monday nights. Both places are 18 to enter and 21 to drink.
Most of these ideas take no more than a few hours to complete, and while they may not all be your idea of a good way to make money, at least one idea should get you some fast cash.

Enjoy a creative, cheap break trip
By Kelly Vickery
Kansan correspondent
It's time to break out the sun tan lotion and bathing suits because spring break is right around the corner.
However, some students may not go for the lotion until summer. Luxury cruises and walking on the beaches of Mexico have become a thing of the past to students who are on a budget this break. Instead, these students are gathering friends and having creative vet cheap breaks.
"I'm going to visit some of my friends from high school in Madison," Travis Nordwald, Minnetonka, Minn., junior said. "They go to Mardi Gras every year and say it's even crazier than New Orleans. I want to see what it's all about."
Going on a road trip is definitely one way to get out and see the world and it doesn't have to cost a lot of money.
The book Eccentric America by Jan Friedman suggests many fun and weird places to visit all around the United States.
For instance, one could see the World Cow Chip Throwing Contest in Beaver, Okla., where the contestants compete to see who can throw dung the farthest.
And if that doesn't sound interesting, how about the Elvis is Alive Museum in Wright City, Mo.?
But if one isn't lucky enough to get out of Kansas for the highly anticipated spring break, other alternatives abound.
"I'm going camping with a few of my buddies because it's fun and cheap," Jenny Sullivan, Overland Park, freshman, said.
And if you're not adventurous enough to brave the outdoors, Hendrick's Bed and Breakfast Inn in Nickerson may be a good place to head for break.
Hendrick's is "part of an exotic animal farm that hand-raises giraffe, zebra, llamas, kangaroos, camels, ostriches and emus," according to Eccentric America. It also proclaims that each of Hendrick's seven rooms is decorated after an animal and its country — and you can pet, feed and even kiss (if that's up your alley) the live animals.
If animals still don't do it for you, get $20 and visit the local tanning salon. While tanning, think of a crazy tale to tell about the exotic vacation that never really took place.
With the perfect tan, who wouldn't believe it?

In wake of Sept. 11, apples equal oranges, possibly bananas too
For Steve Jones, manager at Dillons, 1015 W. 23rd St., Sept. 11 changed his life forever.
As far as I'm concerned, apples can be compared to oranges now. Life means so much more. Why be tied down by the physics of fruit?"
"Dude, it's like, so awesome," said Duffy Duzedelezo, Lawrence sophomore and Dillon's regular. "He's not just limiting it to apples and oranges. I did some asking around, and I'll be able to get like, six bananas for the same price as an orange. It's a bargain bonanza for fruit shoppers."
the last thing he changes,
"This might just be the first step. Who
knows?" he said. "If it seems to be the right
thing, maybe I will extend this beyond fruit, and
begin to look at beverages, and maybe even beef
and seafood someday."
Jones was pleased that his new policy was making customers happy and said it may not be the last thing he changes.

Final Internet dot com domain used dot dot and dot dash implemented
Officials learned yesterday that the last possible Internet dot com name had been used. The domain finding service buythisdomainrightnowbeforesebodyelsegetsit.com said that every combination in the English language was taken.
The news sent shockwaves through the Internet marketplace while domain brokers tried desperately to get their clients set up with proper names.
"I thought we had it in the bag, but apparently asphyxiatedgrandpas.com was taken." said Tom Carvington, an Internet names sales rep. "So were a bunch of others that I promised to clients, like mildewremovalforsex.com, grouppopcom, and enron.com, along with a few others I am not at liberty to tell."
Fears were quickly dispelled when the market opened up to non ".com" possibilities. Because of increased Internet traffic, there are options that will now follow the dot like "dot dot," "dot dash" and "dash dot dot dash dot dot dot.net."

Trafficway to run through campus
By Joe Stephenson Kansan satire writer
The controversial issue of completing the South Lawrence Trafficway through the Baker Wetlands has been resolved. Chancellor Robert Hemenway has agreed to let the Kansas Department of Transportation put the trafficway through the University of Kansas' Lawrence campus.
city of Kansas - Lawrence
The proposed route puts the trafficway entering campus on 13th Street, following Jayhawk Boulevard, then going past the Chi Omega Fountain, down Naismith Drive, up to Daisy Hill and off campus somewhere near the Lied Center.
Hemenway said he approved the route because, "KDOT is giving us a buttload of money."
Mike Rees, KDOT spokesman, said he was pleased that the traffway will finally move forward. The western nine miles of the roadway, completed in 1996, end on south Iowa Street.
"We really painted ourselves into a corner when we found our proposed route went right through wetlands that are not only ecologically very fragile,
but very sacred to Native Americans," he said. "We thought 'We can't just give up now, we only have half a road. What kind of morons just build half a road?'"
road? Rees said he hoped Haskell Indian Nations University officials, members of the Sierra Club and local "wetland wackos" would see the embarrassing situation KDOT was in.
If we don't finish that road, we'll be the laughing stock of every other department of transportation in the country." he said. "Believe me, Missouri DOT would never let us hear the end of it."
So far, student reaction to the trafficway has been positive.
John Docker, Lenexa sophomore, said the new road would be an improvement.
"It will be great if I ever want to go straight from I-435 to Clinton Lake, or get on I-70 via K-10 without having to meander through Lawrence," he said. "I mean, I never do those things, but I'm glad to know that I could if I wanted to now."

Allen to lead new team in 2002
MATT MERKEL-HESS/KANSAN
Bv Ben Ross
Kansan satire writer
Former Kansas football coach Terry Allen has stepped down from his new position as an assistant at Iowa State to become the latest team leader at Kentucky Fried Chicken, 658 W.23rd St.
Allen's responsibilities will include recruiting new team members, working the drive-through window and overseeing the production of the hot and spicy crispy strips.
A man impersonating Colonel Sanders said, "We knew that there was a cornucopia of talent out there in the retail fried chicken processing field. We feel that Terry is the best fit for this new position."
Former football coach Terry Allen has turned down a job at Iowa State to become a team leader at KFC.
Allen will have a press conference today in the KFC main dining room to officially announce his new position and formally introduce new assistant team leader Tom Hayes.
Although details of his contract have not been disclosed, sources close to the hiring process have reported that it runs through spring 2003 and is worth up to $8.75 per hour. Other stipulations of the contract provide for a 20 percent employee discount and a free employee uniform including a name tag that reads "Terry: Team member since 2002."
Allen has set high goals for the 2002 fiscal year including a repeat of last year's third place finish in the "King of the KFC's Customer Service Award" in the Lawrence-Eudora district. Allen's new team will include veterans such as
fourth-year returning cashier Jannie Miller and standout drive-through attendant Spencer Thomas.
Thus far, response has been good. Allen already has received an oral commitment from a 6-foot-1 shift manager from Waco, Texas, by the name of Mario Kinsey.
attendant Spencer Hawkson However, several spots on the roster have yet to be filled. Allen began his recruitment process by placing a large "Help Wanted" sign next to the cash register and submitting an ad in this week's Hawk Sheet urging interested people to join his team.

Ice accepts 'Grammy' at Airport Motel
By Brandon Gay and C.J. Jackson Kansan satire writers
Ten years of declining name recognition, ridicule and failed comeback attempts would depress some forgotten rap stars.
Rut not Vanilla Ice.
Rob VanWinkle, the "Ice, Ice Baby," attempted to rejuvenate his career as Vanilla Ice last month in Lawrence with a performance at Abe and Jake's Landing. 8 E. Sixth St. An estimated 1,000 people attended the performance, but only 24 remembered Vanilla Ice; most thought they were there to "sample a new alcoholic beverage."
VanWinkle was so impressed with his performance that when he returned to the Airport Motel, 1493 Highway 40, he pretended to receive a phone call from his agent, who told him he had been nominated for a Grammy.
Much to his surprise, he accepted the award for Comeback Artist of the Year in front of his bathroom mirror the next night.
Vanilla Ice clutched his "award," a bottle of Head and Shoulders, and began to weep.
"This makes all my years of hard work worthwhile," he told the audience of mouth wash, toothpaste and shaving lotion.
"I was very moved," said Sarah
Alderson, an Airport Motel maid who overheard the speech. "I think that was exactly the kind of speech that millions of people would have loved to hear."
Vanilla Ice's return also inspired Bruno Sanmartino, Torino, Italy, sophomore, who decided to take up rapping.
"I'm so inspired now," Sanmartino said. "And I've got a new name — either the Italian Ice or The Notorious G.E.L.A.T.O."
Sanmartino said he used to be just another whack MC with an axe to grind, but Vanilla Ice gave him a new vision.
"He's so fly and his rhymes are so well thought out," he said. "Flow like a hawk/ daily and nightly.' If I should ever be so ill."
Maria Convescas, Hutchison junior and Sanmartino's girlfriend of two days, concurred.
"Vanilla is like, so packed with flavor, I wanna, like, lick him," she said. "Plus, since Bruno went to the show he's been like, 10 percent more ghetto fabulous."
Sanmartino said ice's appearance sealed his fate as a rapper.
"I hope in 10 years, when I'm a washed-up rapper, I'll still be able to draw a crowd just on novelty value," he said.

Budget threatens faculty jobs
By Cássio Furtado Kansan senior staff writer
10PEKA-- As many as 175 staff and teaching positions in the Lawrence campus and from 80 to 100 in the University of Kansas Medical Center could be eliminated if the University's budget for next year is reduced, Chancellor Robert Hemenway told the Senate Ways and Means Committee yesterday.
Hemenway told the legislators that as many as 30 faculty positions, 50 lecturers, 50 graduate teaching assistants and 45 staff would have to be cut in the Lawrence campus to make room for the estimated cuts.
"We simply couldn't get through without giving people pink slips," Hemenway said.
TOLLY JAMES
Hemenway said that if the current budget situation remained unchanged, the University would face a $15.4 million shortfall next year. That includes $9.6 million in a base reduction and $5.8 million in unavoidable costs like fixed employer costs and increases in health insurance premiums. The state's dramatic budget situation will likely reduce the University's budget because it faces a $426 million shortfall for the 2003 fiscal year, which begins July 1.
"The overall quality of KU education will decline."
The chancellor said the budget shortfall could have other consequences for KU students. Fewer and more crowded classes, the elimination or severe reduction of basic services for students such as
museums and public service units, and shutting down academic and outreach programs were some of the possible ways of saving money, he said.

or saving money. The Medical Center would also cut its physical therapy program conducted at Pittsburg State University via distance education and a nursing program in neonatal care.
KIMBERLY THOMPSON/KANSAN
"The overall quality of a KU education will decline," Hemenway told the committee.
He said it was a paradoxical moment for the University because while its academic reputation was strong, the University was vulnerable because of the possible budget cuts.
"It's not only a budget for this year, but for many years and many lives to come," Hemenway said.
The chancellor also used his testimony to urge legislators to fund a 4.5 operating grant increase proposed by the Board of Regents and to ask them to continue funding Senate Bill 345, which provides money for increases in faculty salaries.

Chancellor Robert Hemenway points out the $5.8 million unavoidable costs to maintain the University of Kansas' current level to Sen. Stephen Morris. Hemenway talked to the Senate Ways and Means Committee yesterday in Topeka to explain why KU's budget should not be cut.

Businesses prosper as 'Hawks succeed
By Lauren Beatty
Kansan staff writer
When the Kansas Jayhawks were declared the Big 12 Champions, Brent Ruggles felt good. So good in fact, he went out and bought a Championship T-shirt for himself and his sister.
"After I saw the game and saw the team wearing them, I wanted to be a part of that." said the Augusta junior.
"Everybody loves a winner," Dobbins said.
The success of the men's basketball team is not only reflected in athletic bragging rights, but in dollars spent in Lawrence.
He's not alone. Doug Dobbins, manager of Jock's Nitch, 837 Massachusetts St., said the Championship T-shirts were the most popular item at the store right now.
Dobbins said he ordered about 230 of the "Undefeated" t-shirts. He is also preparing to order a shipment of Big 12 Tournament shirts. He said tournament time propelled March sales so much that it had become the third biggest sales month at Jock's Nitch, after December and August.
"It's not so much a decline as a plateau," he said. "It doesn't kill us, but we sell more when we're winning."
Jon Francis, owner of Sportcenter, 840 Massachusetts St., said the Championship T-shirts were also one of the biggest selling items at his store, where
No matter how the team plays, though, the desire for Jayhawk wear is usually there.
Dobbins said when the team looses, he doesn't see a drop in sales.

Food, beer, big TVs essential elements for Hawk parties
Jessica Tims Kansan staff writer
March Madness has entered the crimson — and blue blood of Kansas basketball fans. A cure: attending the Big 12 Conference tournament.
Big 12 Conference But fans who can't make it to Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo., to watch the Jayhawks play can find solace by throwing a Big 12 tournament party.
Dave Bednarczyk, Delta Chi fraternity social chair, said his fraternity would have a party with 20 to 30 guests. He said he thought inviting the right group of sports fans was the key to making the party successful.
"You need to invite people who are interested in watching the game, so no girls," Bednarczyk, a Kansas City, Mo., junior, said with a laugh. "It is kind of like watching Friends on Thursday at the Crossing. All the girls tell the guys to shut up and you have bruises on your arm from the charlie horses you get all night."
Sparky Parks, manager of Spirit Party Shop and Liquor, 600 Lawrence Ave., said the most important ingredient for the perfect Big 12 party was a clear view of the television.
"You need a couple TVs set up." Parks said. "You need a good viewing section. You can't crowd around and watch a 13-inch TV."
Parks and Bednarezyk agreed that alcohol was a must. Bednarezyk said Delta Chi would have two kegs for its celebration.
Chris Wiltfong, manager of Hy-Vee. 4000 W. Sixth St., said he noticed a boom in sales during tournament season.
"We sell a ton of potato chips and Tostitos," Wiltfong said. "We go through a lot of salsa and pop. We also sell a lot of frozen pizzas."
Wiltfong said Hy-Vee prepared for the Big 12 tournament by ordering an extra truck load of soda and extra chips and crackers. But not all fans would throw parties with just chips and dip, Wiltfong said.
"Some get steaks and potatoes," he said. "Things that you can throw on a grill."
From the standpoint of a caterer, Wiltfong said fans who planned to serve a meal should prepare one-to-one-and-a-half servings of a main dish for every guest.

Rock Chalk Revue brings down house
By Caroline Boyer Kansan staff writer
More than 300 participants of the Rock Chalk Revue packed into the hall outside the dressing rooms of the Lied Center last night, 10 minutes before the beginning of the show.
Angela Agustin, executive director, called for attention, and all cast members chanted in unison "Right leg, right leg, break a leg! Left leg, left leg, break a leg!" followed by the Alma Mater and Rock Chalk
Jayhawk chant
"It's been a tradition ever since I've been involved with Rock Chalk, which is about 1998," Agustin, Wichita senior said.
The 53rd annual Rock Chalk Revue then began with an opening speech from Chancellor Robert Hemenway and an appearance by Miss Kansas Lindsay Douglas, a former KU student.
About 1,500 people laughed and clapped for the

Officer convicted of brutality awaits retrial
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — After nearly three years behind bars, a white former police officer whose conviction in the torture of Abner Louima was thrown out on appeal was freed on $1 million bail yesterday to await a new trial.
U. S. District Judge Reena Raggi agreed to release 36-year-old Charles Schwarz but restricted him to New York City.
Today's a great day. I've
been waiting for this day for 33 months," a smiling Schwarz said as he left the courthouse to applause from supporters and jeers from a smattering of protesters.
His retrial in one of the city's most notorious police brutality cases is set for June.
Schwarz denied he was in the bathroom. But after Volpe pleaded guilty, a jury convicted Schwarz in 1999 of violating Louima's civil rights.
U. S. Attorney Alan Vinegrad tried unsuccessfully to have Schwarz placed under house arrest.
senwarz was one of four white officers sentenced to
court ordered a new trial for Schwarz.
Last week, a federal appeals
prison in connection with the attack on Louima, a Haitian immigrant who was sodomized with a broken broomstick in a Brooklyn police station bathroom in 1997. Schwarz was accused of holding down Louima while Officer Justin Volbe brutalized him.
Louima, who suffered severe internal injuries, criticized the appeals court decision Thursday at a Miami news conference held before the bail hearing.
"I had hoped, after all these years, I would be able to go on with my life," Louima said.
The appeals court last week also threw out the obstruction-of-justice convictions of Schwarz and two other officers.

CAMPUS Battenfeld director leaves prematurely
The director of Battenfeld Scholarship Hall will be leaving by spring break, a Department of Student Housing official told hall residents before dinner last night.
Kevin Bates, a Tecumseh graduate student in business, became the hall's director last fall. He will be succeeded by Kevin Hinegardner, Omaha, Neb., junior, who is the hall's proctor. Hall residents will form a committee to help select a new director for next fall.
Hinegardner and Bates both declined to comment.
Dan Suitor, complex director for scholarship halls, made the announcement to residents yesterday. Residents said Suitor was unclear about whether Bates had quit or had been fired. Suitor did not return phone calls last night.
Matt Seger, Newton sophomore, said he and other residents learned last night that Bates was leaving. He said Bates had told residents that he would not return next fall, but he was expected to finish the semester. Residents were surprised to see Suitor at dinner, Seger said.
"I didn't really see it coming. I figured the only thing he would be coming to tell us about was that we would have a new director next year," Seger said.
year. Bates is a Topeka native who graduated from the University of Kansas in 1997 with a degree in journalism. He then worked as a police reporter at the Topeka Capital Journal and at the Lawrence Journal World. This year, Bates serves as the graduate teaching assistant for the School of Journalism's Newspaper Reporting class, in which all University Daily Kansan reporters are enrolled.

Food companies settle on genetically modified corn
CHICAGO—A federal judge approved a $9 million settlement yesterday in a class-action lawsuit by consumers who complained of allergic reactions to genetically modified corn in supermarket products.
Under the settlement approved by U.S. District Judge James Moran, a group of food companies will attach $6 million in coupons, each good for a dollar off, to packages of their products.
Any portion of the $6 million not used by consumers through the coupons will be paid into a fund that will be used to support as-yet-undetermined charities or food research groups.

Professor stresses ethics in medical research
AUTHORITY
MICHAELLEONARD/KANSAN
Mary Faith Marshall, professor of medicine and bioethics at the University of Kansas Medical Center, discusses balancing self-interest and research integrity in biomedical research. She spoke last night at the Kansas Union Ballroom.
By Summer Lewis Kansan staff writer
The death of a healthy medical research participant at John Hopkins University last year raised concern about the lack of ethics researchers use when experimenting on human subjects.
But it was not an isolated case. Mary Faith Marshall, professor of medicine and bioethics at the University of Kansas Medical Center, said that more than 60 institutions had been sanctioned for ethics violations in the last three years.
She said the problem was that researchers were not taking responsibility for the people they conducted research on.
Marshall spoke to about 150 people about ethics in human research last night at the Ballroom in the Kansas Union.
"Human subjects are not being adequately protected," Marshall said. "In many cases, negative side effects are not being reported before new human subjects are admitted to the testing."
"John Hopkins is supposed to be the best medical school in the world and its research halted because it killed a human subject," Marshall said. "We have to maintain our values in the work we do, or medicine could go completely wrong."
She said the problem wasn't necessarily about money.
She said the solution was for researchers to be more ethical when making decisions.
"in some cases, researchers get so into what they are studying that they forget a human life is in their hands," Marshall said. "Sometimes, money isn't the distraction to researchers; they want to win a Nobel prize."
"We need to be more vigilant in what we are doing." Marshall said. "Medical researchers cannot be too careful when dealing with human life."
Marshall said that ethical behavior was
important for the future of medical research.
"We are amidst a crisis in the ethics of research," she said. "If we don't become more ethical, researchers won't have human subjects to test and research will stop."
Ken Chang, Lawrence freshman, said that Marshall convinced him of the importance of ethics in medical research.
"I never really knew this topic was out there, but after hearing this lecture, I am interested." Chang said. "I realize now that it is a pretty important topic."
Daniel Dubill, Prairie Village junior, said it shocked him that people had died from trying to help medical research.
"I am surprised by how many cases there are that have gone wrong with human research subjects recently," Dubill said. "Ethics is a broader issue than I realized."

Tattoo artist discusses body art with enthusiasts
By Lauren Beatty Kansan staff writer
From baked potatoes to hot air balloons tattoo artist Don Hardy has used more than just skin as canvas for his art.
Hardy spoke last night to about 200 people at the Spencer Museum of Art about his love of ink. He is well-known because he was one of the first Westerners to study Asian traditional tattooing.
"Art has been a salvation in my life." Hardy said.
Hardy, who lives in San Francisco and owns his tattoo shop, told the crowd about his influences and showed slides of prints and tattoos he created during his 35-year career. He had only a few words of advice for the audience.
"You should get them for yourself." he said. "It's personal art."
The audience was comprised
mostly of college students.
Craig Karst, Ellsworth junior, said he had 12 tattoos. He got his first one when he was 16 years old.
"I always thought it was cool," Karst said. "You can put something you like, like a picture or an album cover, on your body."
The owner of Skin Illustrations, 1530 W. Sixth St., who goes by the name Russell, said tattoos were popular among college kids because they were trendy.
"It's peer pressure," Russell said.
"They want to be like everyone else."
Russell said 50 percent of his customers were college students and that more women got tattoos now than men.
"A really nice tattoo will cost about $150." Russell said.

Keep KU officers here with better salaries
Safety on campus is a concern for students, but does the KU Public Safety Office have adequate funds and officers to maintain an acceptable level of safety?
Maj. Chris Keary of the KU Public Safety Office was quoted last semester in The University Daily Kansan ("Low income leads officers elsewhere," Dec. 3) as saying it had been a problem that well trained officers were leaving for better paying jobs. He said the KU Public Safety Office was often short of staff because of the high rate of turnover.
A reason for this problem is that University officers can get better paying jobs at other police departments. They receive their training at the University, and then leave for more money. University officers start out making $24,928, but officers in other nearby cities can start out making as much as $33,634 as they do in Lenexa.
If we want quality officers, we must give them quality pay. Officers have to support themselves, and we as a university cannot expect them to stay at the KU Public Safety Office if they can make more at a different police department.
The Kansan reported ("KU Public Safety Office hurt by fewer officers," Feb. 5) there were 24,400 students here with 37 commissioned officers in 1984. Now there are more than 25,400 students here with only 28 commissioned officers.
Although more people on campus might not lead to more crime, it doesn't mean crime will go down either.
The University has 11.0 officers per 10,000 students,the second lowest number in the Big 12.Oklahoma State University has 14.6 officers per 10,000 students,the highest of the Big 12.
With budget shortfalls, it might be unrealistic to demand a raise for our officers, but if the University doesn't consider raising salaries of officers at some point, the trend of trained officers leaving will only continue.

Fifty-seven representatives are elected from the schools, such as the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the school of journalism. One representative is chosen for residence halls, five for off-campus, three non-trads, and three holdover senators are elected by their friends in the Senate. There is one each for the scholarship halls, the Association of University Residence Halls, the Interfraternity Council, the Panhellenic Association, the National Pan-Hellenic Council, the International Students Association, the Black Student Union, the Hispanic American Leadership Organization, the First Nations Student Association, the Asian American Student Union and Queens and Allies.

COMMENTARY
There's a plan floating around that would eliminate the 11 organizations' seats, the three holdover seats and the six residence hall and off-campus seats. Instead, 60 to 80 senators would be directly elected from their school.
This plan, while eminently sensible, has run into considerable opposition from well-intentioned multiculturalists. They assert that these 19 allocated seats bring important diversity to the Senate, but their argument lacks firm ideological bedrock upon which they could found an objection.
The distribution of seats seems to be more than a little ad hoc. If living arrangements really have some important quality about them that requires their explicit representation, why does the greek community have more seats set aside than the residence or scholarship hall communities? Why aren't living community seats based on the number of students that have a particular living arrangement instead of a fixed allotment? These seats aren't justified and ought to be eliminated.
The designation of groups that bring minority representation seems ad hoc as well. If the goal is to represent ethnicities, why doesn't the Cultural India Club get a seat? Why don't the Korean, Indonesian or Bengali clubs get seats? Why are ethnicity and sexual orientation the only tests
applied to these set-aside seats? After all, religion and gender are also included in the preamble to the Senate rules. I'm sure that the KU Navigators, KU Hillel Foundation, Wiccan Pagan Alliance, Society of Open-Minded Atheists and Agnostics, and the February Sisters all have something to add.
The desire to include minority groups is laudable, but setting aside seats for a half dozen clubs doesn't seem like the way to do it. Without any kind of systematic assessment of how and why certain groups are included, the groups selected will remain stagnant and, in the name of diversity, will marginalize other minority groups by implicitly saying that, their ethnicity/religion/gender is important, but it's not enough to merit a seat.
After all, according to the logic of set-aside proponents, set-asides are necessary for inclusion, inclusion is necessary for diversity, and diversity is necessary for the University. According to this reasoning, by denying some groups set-asides, the proponents thwart the very end they seek to accomplish.
There are two ways to fix this government by ad hocracy. One would be to adopt a mind-boggling complex system of proportional representation based on vote, club membership, student profile or some other index that would better foster the involvement of small parties in the Senate. This strikes me as a lot of work that, in the end, may produce a system no better than the current one. The other technique would be to take a deep breath and realize that even without the special set-aside seats, there is diversity in Student Senate.
The set-aside seats may have seemed like a good idea when the rules were written. But it is easy to see that they are unrepresentative, unsystematic and, ultimately, unnecessary. We've come a long way as a society. It's time for Student Senate to catch up.
Senate was right three years ago, do not move backward now
I'm not out to call Student Senate a racist group. In fact, I covered Senate as a University Daily Kansan reporter a few semesters back, and I'd venture to say the vast majority of its members try to do the right thing — make the best decisions for the University when Senate passes and fails bills, petitions and resolutions.
Right now, Senate has started a discussion on how seats should be apportioned; in other words, who represents whom. And an interesting idea was brought up — eliminating seats set aside for "multicultural organizations" such as Black Student Union, Asian American Student Association, Hispanic American Leadership Organization and the First Nations Student Association.
As the University tries to create a more diverse campus. Student Senate took a brave step three years ago by instituting these "multicultural" seats. Black Student Union, AASU, FNSA, Queers & Allies and HALO select one individual each to serve as their student senators.
Chamberlain is a Topeka senior in political science.
The arguments for ridding Senate of such representatives makes sense in a perfect world: We should elect representatives at-large that would be fair and act on our behalf, regardless of our race, ethnicity, sexual orientation or any other social standard.
But we, my friends, do not live in a utopian society, or even attend a perfect University. According to the Office of Institutional Research and Planning, last fall, black students constituted only 2.6 percent of the total enrollment at the Lawrence and Edwards campuses. That figure didn't budge from last year, and it actually dropped by .2 percentage points from Fall 1999.
The numbers aren't much better, and in many cases, are worse, for Native Americans, Latinos and Asian students. Nearly 81 percent of the students on this campus classify themselves as white.
Although the BSU or HALO senator shouldn't be expected to speak for every black or Latino student on this campus, these seats have helped issues and concerns from these groups find a voice in Senate.
COMMENTARY
If these seats were eliminated, would minorities still be able to be in Senate? Sure. I would hope that voters aren't blatantly racist, and indeed, the student body has elected a black student body vice president and a black president in the past two years. I don't think things would have been any different without multicultural Senate seats.

But why on earth should Senate or anyone on this campus take a step that might counteract the valuable and hard-earned, if not minimal, progress we have made towards more diversity and better cultural understanding?
Granted, setting aside seats for some groups but not others is exclusive. But Senate, politics and life are not perfect nor perfectly fair. It's just not realistic to set aside a seat for every group out there. This may not make sense in theory, but in reality, small steps toward progress are better than nothing at all, or worse, steps backward.
Let's remember that this is higher education. Our goals should not be to mimic perfectly the "real world," especially in politics, where women and minorities are woefully underrepresented. Rather, we should strive to create a place for underrepresented groups, with the hope that some day, we won't have to set aside a special place for them.
Indeed, one day, Senate should get rid of multicultural seats. Some day, we shouldn't need or want to guarantee a spot for minorities in student government. Some day, voter turnout at student elections will be high, and KU students will elect a mosaic of senators to fairly represent everyone.
Sadly, that day is not today. Senate was right three years ago to institute set-aside multicultural seats, and it should not abandon them yet.

"I have faith in the people of Kansas, that they believe education is a priority." Hemenway said.
Sen. Stephen Morris, the Ways and Means Committee chairman, said his committee would do its best not to harm the University, but said he didn't know whether that would be possible. The committee's first priority, said Morris, a Republican of Hugoton, was to preserve K-12 education.
"We're going to do everything we can," he said,
but added "there are going to have to be some cuts."
But Hemenway's afternoon in Topeka had a positive note. The House tentatively approved a bill yesterday that would authorize $110 million in bonds to build research centers at the University of Kansas, Kansas State University and Wichita State University. The bill will likely be sent to the Senate today.
Wichita State University's president Donald Beggs also testified in front of the committee yesterday. His university faces a likely $4.24 million budget shortfall for next year. Beggs said Wichita State was also considering increasing tuition and cutting the budget.

"It is pretty much modern rock, not to many frills. It's honest," he said. "I want to say it's pop, but when you hear that, you start to lean to a Britney Spears and *NSyne feel*, and that's not what it is."
Marler said the band would showcase the new album along with some of its new songs written after the completion of the CD.

Researchers use music, simulate seizure trauma
By Adam Pracht
Kansan staff writer
kansan.com
Hear an adaptation of Mozart's Symphony #40 in G minor that represents what happens in the brain during an epileptic seizure.
When Deron McGee had a brain tumor removed four years ago, he began to suffer from a brain disease called epilepsy. Now he is working with a research group to convey the experience of an epileptic seizure in the language he knows best-music.
McGee, associate professor of music and dance at the University of Kansas, said epilepsy was a frightening disease that could cause seizures at any time.
"Try to imagine for a moment not being able to swim or take a bath alone, climb a ladder, hold a baby, drive a car and ride a ski lift because you don't know when you will have your next seizure," he said. "The seizures associated with epilepsy are unpredictable and the unpredictability is part of what makes this such an insidious disease."
McGee, along with two other KU professors, combined their knowledge of music and medicine to help reduce the mystery surrounding this disease that affects one of every 100 people. They composed music to convey both what a seizure feels like and what is happening in the brain.
"Creating a work that average people can relate to will improve the mystery surrounding epilepsy," McGee said. "Music
provides an educational role in this case, and the more people understand anything, the less 'frightening it is."
Ivan Osorio, director of the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center at the University of Kansas Medical Center, presented the idea last June to McGee and Kip Haheim, assistant professor of music and dance.
The three selected a symphony by Mozart and altered it to represent brain waves during an epileptic seizure. They completed the work last September.
The familiar symphony started normally, representing regular brain function.
Haheim explained what each part of the piece represented as he played it.
Osorio had already researched ways to predict seizures and wanted the music to help describe epilepsy to a general audience.
Slowly, a clashing, regular chord took over the music, giving a sense of danger and urgency. Haheim said that represented brain cells firing with regularity, an abnormality that causes the seizures.
The chord faded out and the tune returned. But it was disorganized, as if trying to gather
itself. Haaheim said this conveyed the time after a seizure when the person was disoriented and the brain was trying to recover.
Haaheim said that it took several tries to make the piece both technically accurate and emotionally appealing.
This October, a PBS documentary will feature Osorio's research on epilepsy. In April, Haaheim and McGee will present their paper on the project to the Rocky Mountain Society for Music Theory.
Haaheim said he enjoyed using the arts to help people in a physical wav.
"It's great to be involved in something which has the potential to really help a lot of people," he said. "You rarely get the opportunity to do something like this."
"My job on this was like a translator." Haaheim said. "You take something that is in one language-the medical language-and translate it into the musical language."

New attitudes key for athletics department
Sometimes I wonder if Al Bohl realizes exactly what he's gotten himself into.
Bohl took over as athletics director at the University of Kansas nine months ago with the charge of turning the fledgling athletics department into a winner.
He's going to have to inspire an attitude-adjustment among mostly conservative, mid-America Kansans, and get them to kick the "basketball school" mentality and adopt an "every sport" mindset if they're going to help him succeed at Kansas.
When Bohl announced Tuesday that Marian Washington would return for her 30th year as women's basketball coach, he made it clear that he has lofty but necessary and attainable goals that must be met or jobs will be lost. Those goals are having every Kansas team in the Top 25 and having the big three — football, men's basketball and, yes, women's basketball — generating revenue.
"Women's basketball has clearly demonstrated across the nation that it can be one of the sports that can generate revenue," Bohl said. "If it's generating another $100,000 or $200,000, then that's $200,000 that the football or men's basketball program does not have to generate."
Bohl will be criticized for statements like that, but he understands exactly how the economic side of college athletics works. He doesn't carry the ignorance of others who dismiss the possibility of profiting off of women's sports. Texas profited from its Top 25 women's soccer team this year. Kansas State, Iowa State, Texas Tech and Oklahoma are all profiting from Top 25 women's basketball teams. Bohl rightfully expects to make it happen here. He just has to find a way.
"It's a fact that if you start winning more, then that's the highest probability to help you," Bohl said.
Attendance figures prove that winning has never equated into much backing for any Kansas team besides men's basketball. There have been a lot of missed opportunities to make a few bucks.
The 1995 football team won the Aloha Bowl, went 10-2 and finished No. 9 in the nation but didn't draw more than 37,500 for a game until it was 5-0. Low turnouts like that don't inspire big-money TV deals.
The women's soccer team went to the NCAA Tournament, but it had the thirdlowest attendance in the Big 12 Conference. The softball team tied for third in the nation's toughest conference last year, yet it was last in attendance. Bohl boosted softball attendance at Fresno State to more than 1,500 people per game.
Kansas women's basketball posted a decade of straight Top 25 basketball in the 1990s, but its highest single-season attendance average ever was 2,835 in 1999-2000. In contrast, K-State's women went 2-14 in the Big 12 last year, before it had in-staters Laurie Koehn and Kendra Wecker, and the Wildcats drew 3,424 per game for the losing squad. This year's 24-6 team drew more than 7,000 game
The biggest bubble that Bohl must burst if he wants to get people on the Kansas bandwagon, starts with changing attitudes and eliminating the idea that Kansas can't succeed at any other sport because it's a "men's basketball school."
Bohl sees that the way I do — as an excuse rather than a solution. Winning helps turn things around, but so does a winning attitude. Bohl has that attitude, but many Kansans seem to lack it. Changing their mentality is the first step to improvement.

'Hawks focus on Big 12
Team concentrates on familiar faces in this weekend's tournament
By Brent Wasko
Kansan sportswriter
With a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament pretty much locked up, one might assume the Kansas men's basketball team would be looking ahead, past this weekend's Big 12 Tournament.
but junior forward Nick Collison claims that isn't the case. He said playing and winning in the Big 12 Tournament could prove beneficial later down the road for the Jayhawks.
"I think you can definitely gain a lot if you go in and play really well," Collison said. "I think that winning three games in a row can prepare you for the NCAA Tournament in itself."
No. 1 Kansas, which is 27-2 overall and 16-0 in the Big 12, will play its first game of the Big 12 Tournament at noon today against Colorado, the No. 9 seed, at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo.
Colorado, which is 14-13 overall and 5-11 in the Big 12, advanced to the second round with a 67-60 victory against No. 8 seed Nebraska. Sophomore guard Blair Wilson led the way for the Buffaloes, pumping in 24 points.
The Jayhawks have already beaten the Buffaloes twice this season. In their last meeting, Kansas stamped Colorado 103-73 on Feb.2 at Allen Fieldhouse.
Kansas coach Roy Williams said, although his team has had success against Colorado, playing it or any other team in the Big 12 Tournament presented new challenges.

"You know a lot of things they are going to do, so being more meticulous, more disciplined in doing things the right way is really important," Williams said. "You have to be precise in everything you are doing. The execution part is more apparent in a tournament with your neighbors."
If Kansas defeats Colorado, the Jayhawks will face either No. 5-seeded Texas Tech or No. 4-seeded Oklahoma State at 1 p.m. tomorrow. The Big 12 championship game is scheduled for Sunday at 2 p.m.
Kansas hasn't hoisted up a Big 12 Tournament championship trophy since 1999. Junior guard Kirk Hinrich said that should be motivation enough for the Jayhawks this go-around.
"I think we are very confident and hopefully still hungry," Hinrich said. "Something that we have not been able to do is win three games in a row in one of the tougher league tournaments in the country."
The Jayhawks are riding a 14-game winning streak and have become the first-ever Big 12 team to finish with an undefeated regular-season conference record.
Williams said he hoped that no matter what happened the rest of the season he wanted his players enjoyed the ride.

Colorado is first foe for Kansas in tourney
By Doug Pacey
Kansan sportswriter
Someone asked Nick Collison on Wednesday if he'd rather play Colorado or Nebraska for Kansas' first tournament opponent. Not wanting to give a team bulletin-board material, the junior forward said it didn't matter which team the Jayhawks faced Friday.
Then a sly grin spread across his face.
"Aw, I'd like to play Colorado," Collison admitted. "I always get hyped to play them."
When the No. 8 seed Buffaloes
Junior forward Nick Collison goes to the hoop during the Kansas-Colorado game last February. Collison said he was looking forward to facing the Buffaloes today in the Big 12 Tournament.
topped No. 9 seed Cornhuskers 67-60 yesterday afternoon in the first round of the Big 12 Conference Tournament at Kemper Arena and set a noon showdown today with the Jayhawks, Collison's wish was granted.
That desire isn't because No. 1 Kansas (27-2 overall, 16-0 Big 12) has beaten Colorado (15-13, 5-11) 26 consecutive times and the last six times the teams have met in the conference tournament — it runs deeper than simple winning streaks.
One year later, after the Jayhawks 97-85 victory at Colorado in early January, Buffaloes freshman center David Harrison said, "Kansas will get theirs."
Go back to last season when Collison fouled Colorado guard Jose Winston in Boulder, Colo., which gave Winston a concussion. Roy Williams called it a hard foul, but Buffalooes coach Ricardo Patton acted like Collison had made an open-field tackle on the diminutive senior.
The next time the two teams met, Harrison taunted the Jayhawks throughout Kansas' 100-73 victory in Allen Fieldhouse on Feb. 2, and his brother, senior guard D.J., refused to shake hands with the Jayhawks after the contest.
Those actions drew the ire of Gooden.
"The game is to be sold, not to be told," the Big 12's Player of the Year said that game. "You can show someone better than you can tell them."

Missouri clobbers Iowa St. in tournament's first round
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Clarence Gilbert can't explain how it feels to get hot from 3-point range. He doesn't have to, though; the sound of the ball popping the net speaks volumes.
"It's just a good feeling, a feeling I can't describe, said Gilbert, who hit 8-of-11 3-pointers and scored 26 points last night in leading Missouri to a 79-59 victory against Iowa State in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament.
The win should guarantee the sixth-seeded Tigers (21-10) a berth in the NCAA tournament, forward Kareem Rush said.
"People had mixed views on whether we were a tournament team," said Rush, who scored 17 points. "We always thought we were, and I think that we confirmed that tonight. Hopefully we can keep playing and win this tournament and then definitely be a tournament team."
ninitely be a tournament team. Missouri will meet third-seeded Texas in the quarterfinals tonight. The Longhorns feature freshman point guard T.J. Ford, who led the nation with 8.68 assists per game this season — the first freshman to do so since the NCAA started keeping the statistic in 1983.
Tyray Pearson led 11th-seeded Iowa State (12-19) with 19 points, and Omar Bynum added 17 points. The Cyclones shot just 42 percent (22-for-53) from the field and committed 22 turnovers.

"He's a lot of fun to watch, with all the things he does," Missouri coach Quin Snyder said. "Maybe it's because I was a point guard. But I couldn't do all the things he does."
*From the header and line 6*
"When you're not getting stops and you're turning the ball over, you're not going to win," forward Shane Power said. "It's not that we were not playing hard, it's that we weren't thinking when we were playing. At this level, it's going to cost you."
Missouri's victory kept the Tigers perfect in Kemper Arena this season. They won twice here in November in the Guardians Classic, beating Alabama in the semifinals and Iowa for the championship.
semilimits and rows for the champions The Cyclones, who were Big 12 tournament champions and NCAA regional finalists in 2000. haven't won in the postseason since then. They were upset by Baylor after drawing a first-round bye in last year's conference tournament, then shocked by 15th-seeded Hampton in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
Gilbert scored all 18 of his first-half points on 6-for-8 shooting from 3-point range. He went 3-for-3 from long range and Rush also hit a 3-pointer in a 14-0 run that gave Missouri a 31-15 lead with 6:35 left in the half.
"They just scored too many points too fast," Iowa State coach Larry Eustachy said. "We were overpowered tonight."
After that, the Tigers' lead never went below double digits. They led 44-28 at halftime and by as many as 26 points, 70-44, on Johnson's 3-point play with 6:52 left in the game.
Iowa State led only once, when Bynum hit a 3-pointer and followed up with a dunk for a 9-6 lead with 17:28 left in the first half. Gilbert answered with two 3-pointers in the next 40 seconds for Missouri, putting the Tigers up 12-9.
"I like it when he's on," Rush said of Gilbert. "We're tough to stop when we get going like that."
Baylor falls to Kansas State
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Matt Seibrandt drew two critical fouls late in overtime, including one that led to the game-winning free throw with 1.4 seconds left, as Kansas State beat Baylor 74-73 in the first round of the Big 12 tournament.
Larry Reid led the seventh-seeded Wildcats' second-half comeback, scoring all 21 of his points after the 11-minute mark in regulation. He had eight points, including two 3-pointers, in overtime.
Ninth-seeded Baylor (14-16) had the ball with 33 seconds left and the score tied at 73 when Wendell Greenleaf was called for charging Seibrandt.
Tony Atchison missed a layup for Kansas State (13-15) with three seconds left, and Seibrandt was fouled by R.T. Guinan he tried to put back the rebound.
After deliberately missing his second shot — but also missing the rim, giving the ball to Baylor out of bounds Seibrandt stole the in-bounds pass.
Nick Williams added four 3-pointers and 16 points for Kansas State, and Pervis Pasco had a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds.

Baylor went 7-for-10 from the field in the first 7 1/2 minutes, while Kansas State missed six of its first seven shots. The Wildcats hit their next six attempts and nine of their next 11, though, while Baylor was just 4-for-16 (25 percent) for the rest of the half.
The two teams played to a 30-all halftime tie, as streaky shooting in the first half kept either team from pulling away early.
A 15-5 run, capped by Williams' basket with 7:42 remaining, gave Kansas State its biggest lead of the half at 25-19. Baylor closed the half with a 9-2 surge and tied the game at 30 when Roberts put back his own miss with 1:05 left.

Baseball team faces Texas A&M
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas baseball team is unscathed after nine non-conference games thanks to a combination of effective pitching and flashes of explosive hitting.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
The team's biggest test to date comes today, when No. 13 Texas A&M会到 Hoglund Ballpark for a 3 p.m. game. The two teams also meet tomorrow at 2 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m.
10 yards
Kansas' Kevin Wheeler slides into third base during Wednesday's 24-3 victory against Avila College. The Jayhawks will take on Texas A&M in a three-game series starting today at Hoglund Ballpark.
Kansas is off to its best start in team history, but it's no secret that the NAIA teams like Centenary aren't as strong as teams the Aggies have played. So is Kansas ready for the challenge the Big 12 brings?
"We have to be ready," coach Bobby Randall said. "We don't have a choice."
Texas A&M is 14-4 on the year, including a 3-0 conference mark. They last played Wednesday, defeating Texas-Arlington 15-5.

(2-0, 1.20 ERA) takes the mound for the Jayhawks, while the Aggies will start Tustin Moore (2-0, 1.38).
Despite coming fresh off a 24-run, 25-hit effort against Avila College on Wednesday, Randall said this weekend's series would be a totally different story.
"That wasn't the test," Randall said of Wednesday's game. "A&M is coming in, and it's a different pitching staff, and they're one of the best teams in the nation."
Seniors Dan Olson (3-0, 2.89) and Jake Wright (2-0, 0.75) will start the final two games of the series. The Aggies have not decided on the rest of their starters.
Notes
Junior outfielder Jason Appuhn, recovering from shoulder surgery, was substituted into Wednesday's game
and went 2-for-3 with a triple, a double, and two RBI.
Texas A&M has dominated the all-time series, 26-7, and won two of three against Kansas last season.

Softball team defeats Emporia State
By Ali Brox
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas softball coach Tracy Bunge challenged her Jayhawks to play with more intensity yesterday than they had on Wednesday, and Kansas responded with an 8-1 win against Emporia State to improve to a 7-7 record.
The Jayhawks started slow offensively, hitting fly balls that hung in the wind and were easy outs for Emporia. But Kansas figured out the Emporia State pitching in the third inning and scored the first four runs of the game.
"Sometimes players will tell you that they have trouble adjusting to slower pitchers." Bunge said. "We didn't really have that trouble today, which I liked. We finally started hitting

the ball on the ground and hitting some line drives after the first couple innings."
Emporia State changed pitches during Kansas' four-run third inning, but the new hurler couldn't quiet the Jayhawks bats as Kansas scored another
four runs in the fourth.
Sophomore shortstop Melanie Wallach, who had committed a fieldingerror in the top of the fourth which ultimately resulted in the Hornets only run, came up to bat in the bottom of the fourth and got redemption with a two-run home run to deep center field. It was the second home run of her career.
Bunge said Wallach hit the ball about as hard and got it out of the park about as quick as anybody could on a windy day.
Senior catcher Katie Campbell also had a good day at the plate, going two-for-three with one run and one RBI. For the first time in the spring season, she got the opportunity to catch her sister when Kelly relieved junior starting pitcher Kirsten Milhoan in the fifth inning.
"I'm feeling more comfortable at the plate," Katie Campbell said. "I've been frustrated lately, but I stayed back today and hit pretty well. It was so fun to get to play with Kelly. It flows when she pitches and we just know what we need to do."
The Jayhawks hope they can keep their intensity and do what they need to do this weekend in the Kansas Holiday Inn Invitational at Jayhawk Field. Kansas plays Princeton today at 1:30 p.m. and immediately following plays Indiana State at 3:45 p.m.

This city of about 6,000 people has knocked Denver out of the top spot as the "itchiest" city in the nation, according to the Lanacane Dry Itchy Skin Index. The February study placed Goodland second, followed by the Colorado cities of Colorado Springs, Denver and Pueblo.

"It's a safe bet you won't see us putting up a sign saying, 'Welcome to the itchiest city in America,'" said Sidney City Manager Gary Person with a laugh.

But a dry climate has its advantages, Person said. The lack of humidity makes for mild summer evenings and winters don't seem as bitter. Besides, Person said he had never heard anyone complain about the dry climate during his 25 years in Sidney.
hair company from marketing a green hair gel called Kryptonite
The comics company sued Wella Corp. for unspecified damages, claiming that the gel's name infringed on the name given to an element from Superman's home planet, Krypton, that weakened the hero.
According to the suit, DC Comics first used the word "Kryptonite" in a 1943 Superman radio show. It said the word gained particular fame in a 1945 radio episode when the Scarlet Widow obtained a chunk of Kryptonite and gave it to several fellow villains to use against Superman.
Leila Meresman, a Wella spokeswoman, said the company would not comment on the Kryptonite lawsuit.
The possible effect of the gel the company said in its online advertising that Kryptonite gel offers humans "extreme styling" and an "acrylic shine."

BUFFALOES
Harrison, a member of the Big 12 All-Freshmen team, obviously didn't get that message a month ago, because the braggadocio spotted off again in Kansas' direction after Colorado's victory yesterday.

"I have nothing to prove against Kansas," said Harrison, who scored nine points and grabbed nine rebounds against Nebraska. "They're just another team to me. Everybody has weaknesses, theirs are just hard to see and hard to exploit. But everybody has them."
Because just six Buffaloos played more than 14 minutes in yesterday's game, Colorado, which has won just two of its last eight games, might have a hard time keeping pace with Kansas long enough to find a chink in its armor.
Reserve guard Blair Wilson was the only Buffalo bench player to get significant playing time. The sophomore, who was named to the Big 12 All- Reserve team this season, hit all four of his three point attempts and totaled a game-high 24 points in 31 minutes.
"There is no doubt Blair can shoot the ball," Colorado coach Ricardo Patton said. "He is our most impressive guard. He has been the most consistent guard this season." Moto:

Play was stopped for about 20 minutes near the end of the Texas Tech-Texas A&M contest when sportswriter Bob Hammel, who is in his late-60s and diabetic, had a seizure on press row at about 4 p.m.
A Lubbock Avalanche-Journal sportswriter sitting next to Hammel, who covered Indiana University athletics to the Bloomington Herald-Times and is a long-time confidant of Red Raiders Bobby Knight, turned his neck sharply and his face contorted before someone caught him as he fell backward and convulsed.
Hammel, who co-authored Knight's soon-to-be released book "Knight: My Story," was conscious

Knight left Kemper Arena immediately after the game to check on his "closest friend" at St. Luke's Hospital, said Pat Knight, Bobby's son and a Tech assistant coach.

the athletes who came just close," Redwine said. "Jennie Wonder was two-hundredths of a second from making it to the NCAAs. It seems like that's pretty bad, but that happens every year to someone. Hopefully that's a motivation to get better in the future."
Eisenmenger said that Monday was a nerve-wracking day, but now that she was in the meet, she wasn't too nervous. Most of the time.
"Not until right before I go to sleep and all those thoughts start going through your head," she said.
Bookman emerged this season as one of the best runners in the Big 12 conference, but he knows that the competition awaiting him at nationals will be much more difficult. Making the final would be a good performance, he said.
He said he hoped to get his time down to 20.7 seconds.
"I've been getting faster every week so I'm just hoping that I can knock some more time down," Bookman said.
Bookman said his start, which had plagued him at times this season, was getting better and that now he was concentrating on the latter portions of the race.
"I just want to make sure I run the last curve good and have a smooth transition from the curve to the straight," he said.
Russell has also been working on technique since his record throw in Ames. He said many times before big meets, his throws in practice weren't very good. This week was no exception.
"I think it might just be nerves and that. Russell said."
But having the nation's best throw by nearly seven feet provides Russell some breathing room.
“It’s in my head,” he said.
“That’s the thing coach said, the
only person that can beat right now is myself. If I go into the ring and kind of do what I have to do, then I shouldn't have a problem."
Hann and Gvozdetskiy both produced big personal bests last weekend to get into the field at nationals. Hann upped her triple jump mark from 41 feet 6 inches to 42-31 1/4 at Notre Dame last Saturday. Gvozdetskiy improved his best mark by almost five inches to 17-11 last Saturday at Nebraska.
"I credit the athletes for being in a competitive frame of mind, knowing what they wanted to achieve." Redwine said. "I also credit the staff for keeping the athletes motivated and trying to help them accomplish their goals. But it definitely starts with the athlete first because if they don't want it, the coaches can't make them want it."

The Kansas bench was quiet after a 64-55 loss to the Oklahoma Sooners. The Jayhawks breezed through their first two games against Colorado and Texas Tech but lost the championship in a close game with Oklahoma.
'Hawks lose tourney, look to Big Dance
By Doug Pacey
Kansan sportswriter
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Amidst the Jayhawks' long faces, blank stares and somber voices in the locker room after their loss, they searched for positives.
The 64-55 loss to Oklahoma was good, they said. Not winning the Big 12 Conference Tournament made them want the national championship even more. Now the Jayhawks know they're beatable and practices will be that much better, others said.
But what else could — or would they sav?
This is a team that was ranked No. 1 in the country, had won 16 consecutive games and was a perfect 18-0 in conference play and postseason before yesterday in Kemper Arena. Heck, yesterday's game was purely for pride for Kansas. The Jayhawks (29-5 overall, 18-1 Big 12) weren't playing for a high seed in the NCAA Tournament; Kansas was a lock for a No. 1 seed.
"People are upset," junior forward Nick Collison said. "No one likes to lose, especially when we're not accustomed to it."
But was losing to No. 4 Oklahoma really a good thing?
"It can be," coach Roy Williams said. "We can get something from this, but not just because oil' Roy says we can. I've got 15 guys in short pants that have got to do something, too."
A run at the Final Four is within the Midwest's No. 1 seed Jayhawks' sights, but not if Kansas continues to play like it did yesterday. The Sooners (27-4, 16-3) gave the Jayhawks an old -fashioned beat-down.
Oklahoma held Kansas to just 19 first-half points and the Jayhawks' 55 total points is the lowest of the season. The Sooners forced 12 turnovers, including seven consecutive possessions in the first half. The Jayhawks made just seven of 30 shots before halftime and thirteen minutes into the game had connected on a dismal three of 19.
"That was a horrible-ass first half." junior forward Drew Gooden said. "There's no way in the world we should have 19 points in the first half. There ain't no way in the world. I can score 19 points in a half. Ain't no way this basketball team should score 19 points in the first half."
Kansas bounced back after half-time and tied the game 41-41 on a Collison put-back with 10:56 left to play, but that was the last time the Jayhawks threatened the Sooners.
Junior point guard Hollis Price, the tournament Most Valuable Player, scored 10 straight points for Oklahoma, including two crucial three-pointers near the end of the game, and led all players with 23 total points.
"One time he stepped back and kind of looked me down," senior guard Jeff Boschee said of Price. "I got right in his face, but couldn't do much more."
Neither could any of the other Jayhawks. Kansas shot a season-low 33.3 percent (19-of-57) from the field. Gooden, the Big 12 Player of the Year and All-Tournament team member, led Kansas with 22 points and 15 rebounds, but turned the ball over six times. Junior guard Kirk Hinrich went zero for 10 from the field and finished with four points.
One day after dishing a Big 12 tournament-record 15 assists and committing just three turnovers, freshman point guard Aaron Miles totaled six turnovers and five assists.
"It's almost a wake-up call for some guys on the team," Gooden said. "We're going to draw the line and say no one is going to push us around."

Sept. 11 victims honored, mourned
The Associated Press
NEW YORK—Joseph Maurer, whose daughter died six months ago in the Sept. 11 terror attack on the World Trade Center, said he and his family would stay away from their television set today.
"They're going to keep showing the buildings collapsing and we're not really all that interested in seeing that part of it," Maurer said.
The anniversary of the attacks is to be observed with prayers and reflection, the dedication of a scarred memorial and a tribute of twin beams of light. At the same time, many victims' relatives say the day will be filled with awful memories.
Maurer, a retired firefighter from Brooklyn, lost his daughter, Jill Campbell, in the attack, as well as a dozen firefighter friends. He said his family was considering going to ground zero for the lighting of the beams, which are meant to evoke the destroyed towers.
The city's schedule will begin with police officers gathering outside precincts as the names of the 23 officers
The Tribute in Light will consist of 88 high-powered beams of light. The tribute will be displayed until April 13. The estimated $10,000 worth of electricity is being donated by Con Edison.
killed in the World Trade Center attack are read aloud. The day will end after dark with the ceremonial lighting of the Tribute in Light, two towers of light aimed skyward from a spot near ground zero.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg will introduce a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m. — the time that the first of two hijacked airliners slammed into the trade center. Gov. George Pataki, former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and some victims' relatives will speak before another moment of silence at 9:03 a.m., the time that the second plane hit.
"The Sphere," which stood in the fountain of the trade center plaza, was gashed and partially crushed by falling debris. It was created in 1971 by artist
City officials planned to dedicate another temporary memorial called "The Sphere," near ground zero in Battery Park.
Flags at Port Authority facilities will be flown at half staff, honoring the 84 employees lost, 37 of whom were Port Authority police officers.
"Look at how we have to live our lives," Silver said. "Every morning you wake up and wonder if they'll find another (body) part that day. I don't want the world to forget, that's for sure, so if this means people will pay attention, that's fine. But as far as for me, six months is still a living hell."
Bloomberg said the globe probably would serve as a centerpiece for a permanent memorial.
Fritz Koenig and originally was dedicated as a monument to world peace through world trade.
Holli Silver, whose husband David died in the trade center, said she would skip the ceremonies, instead spending the day with her infant and toddler, away from news.

It's not worth losing your sanity with worries about grades.
That's what David Holder, Broom-

For KU students, midterm week — usually the week before spring break — is the most stressful time of the year.
"I've been doing pretty good this semester, but I think I'm starting to get a little spring break anticipation," Holder said. "Friday I skipped two out of three classes."

Severe weather experts want Kansans aware. cautious
The Associated Press
WICHITA — As another tornado season approaches, meteorologists are again trying to convince Kansans to learn all they can about protecting themselves in severe weather.
Meteorologists say too many Kansans still run outside to look when the sirens sound, rather than heading for safety.
Phil Harris, of Haysville admits that he is one of those people.
"I'm just kind of a curious guy about storms," Harris said.
That curiosity prompted his decision to participate in a storm-spotter training session conducted by the National Weather Service this spring.
"I want to get an idea of what I'm looking for in case of severe weather," he said. "At least I would know what the cloud formations mean."
Providing that knowledge is the main reason the weather service has an annual Severe Weather Awareness Week, which began yesterday.
Weather Service's Wichita office, wants to see people who aren't part of storm spotting networks at the storm spotter talks.
Chance Hayes, warning coordinator for the National
"Id love to see them come to try and grasp the safety aspects of it, for them to be able to react instantly without having to stop and think about what it is they're supposed to do."

Court denies reimbursement to newspaper's attorney
The Kansas Supreme Court ruled Friday that The University Daily Kansan would not be reimbursed its attorney fees from a lawsuit related to the death of Felicia Bland.
Bland was killed in an automobile accident on Highway 10 east of Lawrence on September 16,2000, when her car was struck by a car driven by Sean Scott, then 16. Scott is currently serving probation for his role in Bland's death. A civil case concerning the wreck is pending.
The Kansan sued the Kansas Highway Patrol for access to the Sept. 16, 2000 accident report. In 2000, a state court ruled that the patrol should have released the report. However, the court also said the Kansan would not receive attorney fees because evidence did not show the patrol had acted in bad faith by withholding the report.

Speedway brings millions to Kansas City economy
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Skeptics expected a "beer and Bubba" crowd to invade Kansas Speedway to watch drivers bump cars and dent fenders.
Bubba came — in force — and brought his cash.
A study conducted by the Kansas City Sports Commission found that fans spent more than $150 million last year, with $70 million remaining in the local economy. Exposure on NBC, ESPN and ABC accounts for an additional $7.5 million in advertising value.
Speedway general manager Jeff Boerger said that with an average ticket price of $55, the track sold out its 78,000 seats faster than any other track during an inaugural season.
"Kansas can be proud to have a tourist spot like Kansas Speedway. We had a very successful year," Boerger said, noting 2002 sales were strong.
In Kansas, the state paid for road improvements around the speedway and backed close to $100 million in bonds to help finance the $208 million project.
The speedway is the largest venue in Kansas and Missouri, attracting more than 100,000 fans to NASCAR and Indy Racing League events in 2001. The venue will eventually hold seating for 150,000.
"It further establishes the entire city as a professional sports community," Gray said. "This is one of the most exciting times in Kansas City."

Religious studies majors struggle with saintly stereotypes
Galen Turner doesn't want to be a priest. But the Lawrence senior often has a hard time convincing people of that when they find out his major is religious studies.
"People have no idea what religious studies is. They think you're going to be a priest or you are trying to debunk religion," he said. "They don't realize it's taught academically."
Both students and faculty of religious studies agreed the major
was often misunderstood.
Tim Miller, chair of the department, said between 40 and 50 students were religious studies majors. He said people usually became involved with the major after they were already in school.
"They take a class and it interests them," he said. "It isn't usually something that people come to college knowing they want to do."
Turner agreed. He said he became interested in religious studies after he took Religion 124, Understanding the Bible.
However, Turner said he didn't know exactly what he would do with his degree when he graduated. Miller said this was common, but that there were actually many things a graduate could go on to do.
"Really it's just like any humanities or social science major," he said. "There aren't a lot of professional jobs directly related to it but you can go on to grad school or professional school. None of our majors end up homeless."
Miller said he knew of a graduate who was a computer programmer and another one who was a social worker. Sarah Knoll, Topeka junior, however, plans to have a career in religion. Knoll said she plans to go to seminary to become an Episcopal priest after she graduates. Knoll said she still felt people misunderstood her major.
"They automatically assume I am going into the priesthood and they think I am learning theology, but that's not what religious studies is." she said.
She said she enjoyed learning
about what people think and how they view the divine.
However, Miller said not everyone likes the academic approach to spirituality.
"We end up speaking with a lot of people — not just students and faculty — who are believers and expect us to be focused on theology or to be a campus ministry and that is just something we are not," he said.
Miller said students sometimes dropped the major when they found this out, though he said this seldom happened.
Seth Duell, Fayetteville, Ark. senior, is a religious studies minor who said he was also personally religious. Duell said he had no issues with the way religious studies was taught at the University, but he could understand how some people might get upset.
"Some people come in with certain expectations and they might get upset when those aren't filled," he said

Local bands to get MTV-style exposure
By Jessica Tims Kansan staff reporter
Channel 6 will mimic MTV with a local flair when a new local music show, Beneath the Surface, makes its debut.
Matt Toplikar, the show's cocreator and Lawrence sophomore, said the idea for the show stemmed from a conversation last year with his roommate, cocreator Micah Bailey, Lawrence sophomore.
"We were throwing around some ideas," Toplikar said. "We were dissatisfied with MTV and the music. We started talking about if we had a channel what we would do with it."
Toplikar said he approached the production staff of Channel 6 with the idea of a public access show that featured local music videos and interviews with local musicians.
He also began looking for bands to record videos. The first band to record a video for Beneath the Surface was Lawrence-based Windsor Medium.
MattCox, guitarist and vocalist of Windsor Medium, said
although the video took three days to shoot, the project stretched over a month and a half because the band and crew had difficulty finding time to get together.
"It will be a while before the show airs," Toplikar said. "But there is no doubt it will happen."
Each episode of Beneath the Surface will feature four to five videos from local bands and commentary from local musicians, Toplikar said. He said the show may also venture to Massachusetts street to ask pedestrians their opinions about music.
Toplikar said any local bands interested in filming a video for Beneath the Surface can contact him at mutiny_ink@hotmail.com.
Toplikar said he planned to air four or five episodes of Beneath the Surface as soon as enough videos were made to fill the shows. Windsor Medium's video is the only one completed so far.

Audio-Reader Network adds bilingual program
By Meredith Carr Kansan staff writer
KANU's Audio-Reader Network has a new program for bilingual users.
Linda Gaumnitz, coordinator of volunteers, said she received the paper at Borders Books, Music and Cafe, 700 New Hampshire, where she was attending a Spanish conversation group. She then gave the publication to Jeremy Dewey, telephone reader/listener liaison, and he started the program.
The program, servicing the blind and visually impaired,
started reading Dos Muñdos, a bilingual weekly newspaper out of the Kansas City area on Monday Feb. 25.
Janet Campbell, director of KANU, said two staff members and one student volunteer read Dos Muñdos
currently. She does not plan to add volunteers as of now. She said the staff members were proficient in Spanish and the student was fluent.
Campbell said she thought the program was a good idea for bilingual listeners, but she didn't know how many bilingual listeners used the network.
Campbell said Dos Mundos was the only Spanish publication read on the station and that no decision had been made on whether the bilingual program will expand.
"People are accessing the program, so as of now, this will stay as part of our current programming." Campbell said.
The paper is part of the Audio-Reader Network's Telephone Reader system. The listener can't access the program through a radio, but can call the system at (800) 772-8898 and listen over the phone.
The Audio-Reader program is only available to the blind or visually impaired. Documentation of the sight disability has to be recorded before someone can access the Audio-Reader program, Gaumnitz said.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR MARIAN WASHINGTON POLL
MARIAN WASHINGTON POLL
Dear editor.
Dear editor,
Once again, the Kansan has shown a complete lack of good judgment. The poll on whether Marian Washington should remain as coach of the women's basketball team is not only moot, but totally classless and uncalled-for on the part of this publication.
As a graduate of the William Allen White School of Journalism and a long-time supporter of Coach Washington and all other Jayhawk teams, I am extremely offended at this low-class act.
Al Bohl has shown that he can remain in full command of his judgment when evaluating a coaching situation and disregard the "garbage" heaved at Washington from many directions this year. Her 29 years of exemplary service to the University and doing it always in a first-class manner with great dignity, resolve and integrity was easily recognized in formulating the decision.
- Nobody wants to lose any of their athletic contests, but sometimes things go in cycles and catch up you all at once if you are in one place long enough. To her credit, she has remained very loyal to the University in spite of numerous hills to climb and pressures to face during her tenure.
Nevertheless, I am confident she will bring the jayhawks back to prominence with the support of the University and Athletic administrations. The most important thing to me is the fact that, like her men's counterpart, she was shown a great deal of respect by her players at this year's senior day as she has had each year in the past. That tells the true character of her and her program.

Rude treatment in Columbia proves Jayhawks' class-act sportsmanship
Dear fans of the University of Missouri: I want to thank you for the wonderful hospitality you showed duv
Dear fans of the University of Missouri. I want to thank you for the wonderful hospitality you showed during the weekend of the KU-Mizzou game March 3. It was everything I expected and more. You guys showed why I am so glad to be a Jayhawk.
Thank you for disturbing my dinner with friends from high school who happen to go to MU with such intelligent comments as "Rock Chalk Chicken Hawk,""KU sucks" and others that could not be printed. It hurt my feelings and made me jealous of such a fine institution as MU.
I would also like to give mad props for the comments about my mother when I was leaving the restaurant. That really showed a lot of guts.
COMMENTARY
Thank you to the four guys in black pleather jackets who waited outside the men's restroom to beat my ass. The fourth-grade tactic almost worked until they walked away when I stepped up to them. Talking the talk and not walking the walk seems to be a big trend in Columbia.
Thank you for finally proving to me that people really can't see into the future. You kept yelling at me that we were going to lose and that it was going to be a long trip home after you beat us. Well, we won and I got home in two hours and fifteen minutes. Simple mistake. It could

Thank you for the Antlers. I only wish we had fans crazy enough to cross-dress, look up phone numbers of basketball players and call them and give the student body and university a bad name — all for the love of an unranked team. Did I mention that they wear dresses? I can't stress enough to you that around 40 guys call themselves real fans because they wear dresses. If that's not the sign of true fan then I don't know what is.
Thank you for shamelessly trying to imitate the Muck Fizzou shirts with such phrases as Buck Foschee. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Thank you for hating KU and our basketball team instead of cheering for your own. I saw signs showing Roy's head on a Britney Spears' body, signs about Roy's mom and signs with KU
At times it seemed as if you were booing us louder than your were cheering for your own team. I am sure that your own players received inspiration from that.
player's phone numbers. But I failed to see any signs congratulating Clarence Gilbert or encouraging your own team.
Thank you to the old man who told me KU still sucks, even after we beat you. That kind of brilliant logic is what I would expect from an MU graduate.
But, most of all, I would like to thank you for making me realize why I am so proud to be a Jayhawk. We take basketball seriously here but we also realize that it isn't life. We don't have to resort to putting other people down to make ourselves feel better. You seem to have a case of small man's disease where you are constantly trying to prove yourself because you feel inadequate.
I know we hold ourselves to a higher degree and that we are a tough act to follow, but some day, some day, you might come close to imitating the class act that is KU.

PERSPECTIVE
Low music sales reflect music quality
last week's Billboard magazine reported sharp sales increases, largely for artists who performed on the recent Grammy telecast.
This should come as a nice consolation to Recording Academy President C. Michael Greene who, in the middle of the Grammy ceremony, launched an attack against the illegal downloading of songs from Internet sources.
Album sales for 2001 decreased from the previous year for the first time in more than a decade, according to Billboard's year-end issue.
Many in the industry blame this on music piracy. But instead of focusing on the legality of the issue, the music industry should be examining why people are downloading music, including other possibilities for sales slumps.
James Manning opinion@kansan.com
ENTAIN
With all the obstacles the industry places on getting music, it makes it easy to justify downloading songs.
COMMENTARY
Take, for instance, the downfall of the single. Out of the current Billboard chart's top 40 songs, only two (Nickelback's "This is How You Remind Me" and LeAnn Rimes's "Can't
Fight the Moonlight") are available in the regular single format.
Five years ago, most popular songs were released in the less expensive format. Record companies felt the single cannibalized album sales and started issuing fewer singles.
This means, instead of getting the one song they want, consumers must purchase a full album.
Add to the single's demise the trend of reissuing a recently released album with new cuts. Those who purchased Mary J. Blige's No More Drama were likely disappointed when MCA reissued the album with bonus tracks and
remixes, meaning fans had to pay full album price to add a few new songs to their collections.
In addition to Blige, Janet Jackson and Jennifer Lopez also reissued albums with one bonus track of a remix on each. This could easily spur people to go online and download the new remix instead of repurchasing the whole album. While these people are at the downloading sites, they will likely download a few other songs by other artists, as well.
Perhaps the most overwhelming reason for music sales slumps is lack of variety. Train's "Drops of Jupiter" is a fine song, but after being played on the radio for nine months, it is time for the song's retirement. The same could be said for other overplayed songs.
The music industry may have a slowdown in sales, but it is far from collapsing. The silly tactic of blaming the slump on thieving college students can only be taken so far. Perhaps if quality products were released, record sales would return to previous heights.

Students' small-business idea takes off
Web site helps flight schools update pilots
By Mike Gilligan Kansan staff writer
Nick Wegner never thought his hobby of flying would lead to a business idea.
Wegner, Leawood senior, and Jasen Barnes, Overland Park senior, have developed an Internet application called Flight Schedule Pro, which is used by more than 1,200 pilots worldwide.
Wegner, who became a certified pilot four years ago, said he came up with the idea for the application when he had to call Kansas City area airport to schedule flight times and instructors.
"I had to call long-distance to schedule times," Wegner said. "I thought it would be easier if I could do it over the Internet."
The application's Web site, www.flightschedulepro.com, helps flight schools and flying clubs keep track of their aircraft and scheduling. Wegner said.
If a flight school pays for access to the site, it receives an account with a log-in name. The application knows which flight
school pilots belong to and they can schedule an aircraft from the flight school for the time they want, he said.
Barnes said the software had many advantages when compared to the old system of calling in.
"Before, the flight school would have to have someone there taking calls and recording the reservations," he said. "Now they don't have to do that."
Before they created the Web site, pilots couldn't see their times unless they called in, Barnes said. Now they can cancel their reservations online and see if any times have become available through other cancellations, he said.
"A lot of times planes need repairs," Barnes said. "Pilots can check to see if their time has been canceled, where before they would have to call to find out or wouldn't find out until they showed up."
The Web site lists two packages, which have a monthly charge of $3.95 or $7.50 per plane.
The more expensive package provides an additional phone service for pilots who don't use the Internet. Barnes said the service provided an 800 number with prompts that took the pilot
through the schedule.
Flight Schedule Pro is now a global company thanks to a flight school in Austria that began using the application, Wegner said.
"The guy at the flight school really wanted to use our application," he said. "We sent him the text and he had to translate it to German for his pilots to use."
The students have two Kansas City area clients and air force bases in Alaska and Florida that use the application.
Between 25 and 30 flight schools use the application, Wegner said.
Wegner and Barnes got the Web site running about a year ago.
"In the beginning, we put in entire days working on it," Barnes said. "It took us a couple weeks to come up with the concept and a couple months to get it working."
The hard work paid off though, said Barnes.
"Once the system is built it doesn't cost much to maintain it," he said. "We could add 100 to 200 more clients without having to do much more work."
Wegner and Barnes handle most business themselves, but they did hire a programmer to do all of the coding.
"Before, the flight school would have to have someone there taking calls and recording the reservations. Now they don't have to do that."
do that."
"We do all the text on the site, but we needed someone with a more technical background to do the programming." Wegner said.
They did not want to disclose any financial information about the site.
They are working on another project related to Flight Schedule Pro and would like to team up with someone who would be interested in working with the two entrepreneurs.
Anyone interested can contact the students at nwegner@flightschedulepro.com or call them at 832-0048.

Two priests removed in decades-old sex case
The Associated Press
PORTLAND, Maine — The Roman Catholic diocese removed two priests from their parishes Saturday after they admitted to sexually abusing minors two decades ago.
The priests will not be sent to other parishes, said Auxiliary Bishop Michael Coite, second-in-command for the Portland diocese, which covers the state. He spoke at the St. Agatha parish in northern Maine, where one priest had been serving.
respectively.
Inasatementread to parishioners, Bishop Joseph Gerry wrote the revelations of priest abuse "leave us all embarrassed, humiliated and disheartened."
As part of a recent policy on disclosing such cases, the diocese said Feb. 10 that the Revs. Michael Doucette and John Audibert had each sexually abused a teen-age boy. The cases began 22 and 26 years ago,
At the time, the diocese said it moved the priests to other parishes because they had received treatment and evaluations determined they did not pose a threat to children.
In the letter read Saturday, Gerry wrote that another allegation of unwanted sexual advances was made against Doucette on Wednesday.
"The most recent allegation of misconduct has made it more difficult for the public to have confidence in both priests." Gerry wrote. "I have now concluded there would always be a cloud of possible future allegations."
The abuse did not occur in the priests' current parishes. Audibert was the pastor in Madawaska, and Doucette was the pastor in St. Agatha, Sinclair and Frenchville.
They were placed on administrative leave, with interim pastors serving until permanent replacements are named. A decision on where they will be placed will be made this week, the diocese said.
The diocese said it would remove all priests with a "credible" allegation of sex abuse of a minor.
A sex abuse scandal in the Roman Catholic church has grown nationwide since January, when Boston Cardinal Bernard Law admitted that a priest molested children for years but was kept on the job anyway, being shuttled from parish to parish. More than 130 people have come forward to say the now-defrocked priest, John Geoghan, abused them.
Since January, dozens of priests out of more than 47,000 nationwide have been suspended or forced to resign, and priests' names have been turned over to prosecutors.
A Florida bishop is the highest-ranking clergyman brought down by the scandal. The Rev. Anthony J. O'Connell, bishop of the

Slain journalist remembered fondly in memorial service
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Slain journalist Daniel Pearl was remembered in a memorial service yesterday as a husband who vowed to remain open to new cultures, a songwriter who believed the world was good, and a man who hoped he could make it better.
Pearl's wife, Marianne Pearl,
said the couple drew up a wedding contract in which they promised "to always remain open to new cultures and new people, and to inspire others with our relationship."
"We felt we were really lucky to have met each other," she said.
"The more time we spent together, the more we loved each other."
Mariane Pearl, a French freelance journalist who married Pearl in Paris in August 1999 and lived and worked with him in India, said they went everywhere together. She said she didn't understand why she wasn't with him the night he was kidnapped.
"Even death cannot separate us. I make the commitment to enable him to live throughout me, throughout our son," said Mariane Pearl, who is expecting the couple's only child in May.
Pearl's friends talked about his uncanny ability to talk his way out of predicaments — even once persuading a cab driver to lend him his belt for a job interview. They said that when he was kidnapped in Pakistan, they hoped he would talk his way out of that as well.
"He knew for sure that no matter how complex the situation, some good fairy would take care of him, and she did for 38 years," said Pearl's father, Judea Pearl.
There was more laughter than tears as people recounted anecdotes from Pearl's youth in Los Angeles, his college years at Stanford University and his career. They also recalled his musical talent on the fiddle and other instruments.
Members of one of the bands Pearl played in, The Clamp in Washington, D.C., played a song they had composed with Pearl called "The World is Not a Bad Place." It was written to welcome the
unborn son of a friend into the world.

"He was courageous and brave because Danny, more than anyone I knew, had the courage to live, and live well. I think he lived more in his 38 years than I have and probably ever will."
Daniel Gill childhood friend of Daniel Pearl
In a news conference held after the service, Pearl's friend since childhood, Daniel Gill, announced that the nonprofit Daniel Pearl Foundation had been established to support charities that inspired Pearl, promote cross-cultural understanding, and to prevent violence.
"He was courageous and brave because Danny, more than anyone I knew, had the courage to live, and live well. I think he lived more in his 38 years than I have and probably ever will," Gill said.
Information about the invitation-only service at Skirball Cultural Center came through a single pool reporter who was allowed to attend.

Suspected hacker charged
The Associated Press
OLATHE — Authorities think an Overland Park man is "Artech," a computer hacker suspected of getting into more than 50 Web sites in 1999 and 2000.
Matthew T. Kroeker, 18,
appeared in Johnson County
District Court Friday on 11 felony
counts of computer crime. He was
charged in the juvenile division
because he was 16 when the crimes
occurred, but prosecutors said they
would seek to try him as an adult.
Kroeker is being held under house arrest, with his next court hearing scheduled for March 25.
Kroeker is accused of getting into Web sites run by the U.S. Department of Transportation, the U.S. Department of Labor, the National Institutes of Health, the cities of Stockton, Calif., and Overland Park, and the Haysville, Kan., school district.
Detense lawyer Kevin Moriarty said Kroeker cooperated fully with authorities when they questioned him almost two years ago.
"He had reason to believe the matter was behind him," Moriarty said. "Some of these occurred more than two years ago when he was barely 16."
The investigation began in January 2000 when an unauthorized message was posted on a Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce site. But it was an attack on the Stockton, Calif., Web site in June 2000 that led investigators to Kroeker.
After the city's site was invaded, employees received e-mails from Artech, who offered to help the city protect itself from such attacks in exchange for a laptop computer, according to the allegations. Artech allegedly made similar offers to other victims.
Cathy Sloan, Stockton's Webmaster, said Friday that she began exchanging e-mails feigning interest in the offer and praising Artech's computer skills.
"I told him we thought he had done wonderful work," she said.
Sloan said she told Artech that he would be working for the city as a volunteer. She e-mailed an application and received a response with Kroeker's name, address and other information. She even got him to send a picture of himself.
Sloan was working with the police and the FBI, and arrangements were made to deliver three laptops to Kroeker's southern Overland Park house on July 20, 2000.
Instead, an Overland Park detective and FBI agents showed up with a search warrant and seized several computers.
Kroeker was questioned. Since then he has completed high school and is now working and attending college, Moriarty said.
State security increased since Sept.11 attacks
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Two guards sit behind a makeshift desk in the east hall of the Statehouse. They watch as state officials, workers and visitors traipse into the storied building.
They sit to make sure that business as usual is conducted in an environment that is anything but usual since the morning of Sept. 11. Since the twin World Trade Center tower came down, the state's security has been up.
"We've come a long way in three years. Sept. 11 accelerated our progress," said Maj. Gen. Greg Gardner, state adjutant general.
Gardner, who also serves as director of the Kansas Division of Emergency Management, said the state was well into its assessment of potential threats and
response before the attacks looking at public and private entities.
"As a result, the Legislature is considering multiple bills to improve our preparedness," he said.
Among those are efforts to increase security of sensitive data systems, give more tools to law enforcement to detect and investigate terrorism and laws protecting agriculture products from intentional exposure to disease.
However, many of those bills come with a price that the state is unable to afford in a tight budget year. Legislators have initially denied a request to hire additional planners to help counties develop emergency management plans. An appeal to create Regional Emergency Medical Response Teams also

TOPEKA — Marion Mays says only two kind of people ever created problems for him: politicians and lawyers.
Yet his daughter became an attorney and his son, a legislator.
The elder Mays, 79, moved to Topeka from Pittsburg in the early 1990s after his wife died. Soon after that move in 1994, he had a major stroke.
father-and-son relationship," said the younger Mays, who is 51. "Our lives had been on two separate tracks and suddenly they were brought together, and we found we had a lot more in common."
"He pretty well explains what they're doing, what the bill will do and what it won't do," said Mays. "I just listen to what he says because it makes pretty good sense to me."
The two have developed a routine. Every Monday through Friday at 9 p.m., they watch Law and Order, the news and Jay Leno's opening monologue. When the Legislature is in session, the elder Mays listens to House sessions over the Internet during the day and questions his son about bills at night.
Mays is serving his fifth term representing a central Topeka district in the House and is chairman of the Federal and State Affairs Committee. He served as speaker pro tem for two years, losing a bid to become speaker last year.
His father's "healthy disrespect" for politicians doesn't stop Rep. Doug Mays, R-Topeka, from spending a couple hours every night with him—an arrangement the younger Mays describes as an addiction.
Marion Mays isn't surprised by his son's interest in politics. Politics have been important to family as long as the two can remember.
The Associated Press
The elder Mays said his father was a Republican and his grandmother a Democrat. They wouldn't speak or eat together during the week before an election.
"I have been plagued with politicians from the day I was born," said Marion Mays said. "But I'm not into politics much. I just ride along with Doug. He seems to know what he's doing."

Difficult budget cuts loom
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Legislators now face the hard choices.
How many teachers will lose their jobs? How many firstgraders will be crammed into a single classroom?
How many elderly Kansans won't get hot meals during the week? Will the courts be closed on some weekdays?
Legislators have been waiting for new revenue estimates before starting meaningful discussions on the budget to finance state government after July 1. They received those numbers Friday.
Lawmakers can ignore most bills and state government will go on. But they're not done with their work until the last appropriations bill passes — and the
next budget balances.
Legislators began the year facing a $426 million gap between expected revenues and spending required by state and federal law. Creating much of the hole were promises that legislators made when times were good.
But with pessimistic revenue estimates, the gap has grown to $675 million, legislators don't face merely a choice of raising taxes or breaking important promises.
They must decide whether to increase taxes — even though the state's economy is slumping and some families are suffering financially — or to cut services.
Legislative leaders believe the solution will be a painful combination of the two. Each number on paper represents a policy decision, and many decisions
will affect Kansans directly.
If aid for education is cut, some public schools are likely to reduce their teaching staffs and have larger classes. Universities are likely to scale back their course offerings.
Social services present a special problem because the cost of providing services for the needy is rising and some services are mandated by federal law.
When the session began, Gov. Bill Graves submitted a proposed budget that assumed no new revenues and reduced aid to education, cut social services, closed minimum-security prisons and canceled highway projects.
Now, legislators may need to increase taxes just to prevent the budget from being worse than Graves' austere proposal.

Police investigate deaths caused by scaffolding
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Investigators worked yesterday to determine why scaffolding outside the John Hancock Center plunged more than 40 floors to the ground during a wind storm, killing three women in cars.
The scaffolding platforms crashed to the ground at midafternoon Saturday as a storm whipped the area with wind that the National Weather Service said gusted to 58 mph.
Broken glass still littered the streets around the 100-story Hancock building, the city's third-tallest building, which anchors the north end of the city's busy Michigan Avenue shopping district.
He said he and dozens of
Still-dangling sections of broken scaffolding suspended by cables from the top of the building had been secured on yesterday as crews worked to board up windows shattered as the platforms blew against the glass.
The scaffolding was "swaying around like a cat toy," said Jerome Manansala, who works at a dell inside the Hancock building.
"In recent months that's just been the spirit," he said. "There's a paranoia around, but along with the paranoia, there's a sense of responsibility."
City building officials said they wanted to know whether the two scaffolding systems, which had been left in place almost halfway up the building, was properly secured at the time of the accident.
A city ordinance requires scaffolding systems to be locked in position when not in use.
The subcontractor operating the scaffolding for the maintenance project, Prime Scaffold of Bensonville, was investigating, president Kenneth Ringstad told the Sun-Times.
One of the three women killed by the falling debris was Nanatta Cameron, 39, of Chicago, who was identified by her family, the Cook County Medical Examiner's office said yesterday.
The names of the other two victims were not released.
Eight people were injured.

Labor disputes smolder on campus
The Associated Press
Columbia University teaching assistants vote this week on whether to join the United Auto Workers. Resident assistants at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst have already agreed to unionize.
At the University of Illinois, graduate employees plan to strike next month — their second walkout this school year. And Harvard janitors recently won a 16 percent raise, partly due to their alliance with students.
Labor causes are heating up American campuses. While administrators say they are taking the trend in stride, they are also fighting organizing efforts.
The latest developments include last week's vote at UMass, believed to be the first time an undergraduate group has formed a collective bargaining unit. The resident assistants, or RAs, act as supervisors and advisers in the dormitories and want a raise in their annual
$5,000 compensation package.
"We've never seen the rush to organize like we've seen in the last five years," said Jamie Horwitz of the American Federation of Teachers, which represents 125,000 college faculty and staff. He ticked off a dozen new bargaining units, from the University of Vermont to two-year Palomar College in California.
"A lot of that has to do with full-time faculty seeing threats from the increasing use of part-time faculty, and part-time faculty saying 'I can't live on this wage,' or 'I want more job security.'" he said.
On more than two dozen campuses, student activists are joining the national "living wage" movement to improve pay for workers who maintain their dorms, cook their food and guard their quadrangles.
"You see this glaring divide between those who have, and those who don't have," said Ben Speight, a 20-year-old sophomore at Valdosta State University in Georgia.
Study moderate drinking has health benefits
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Women who have a few alcoholic drinks a week have an almost 15 percent lower chance of developing high blood pressure than teetotalers, new research shows.
However, the study also found that consuming more than about 1 1/2 drinks daily increases the high blood pressure risk by 30 percent compared with nondrinkers. The increased risk was associated equally with wine, beer and hard liquor.
The reduced risk among light drinkers appeared strongest with beer, though more research is needed to clarify whether the type of drink really makes a difference, said the authors, led by Dr. Ravi Thadhani of Harvard University Medical School.
The findings are based on 70,891 people, ages 25 to 42, who participated in the Nurses' Health Study, which tracked thousands of female nurses for a variety of studies.
Smaller studies have found similar findings in older women, and other studies have suggested that light or moderate drinking may reduce men's and women's risk of heart disease. But experts caution that drinking has been linked to other health risks in women, including breast cancer and birth defects.
Exercise and reducing salt intake are other ways to control blood pressure, and Thadhani said women should be wary of interpreting the findings to conclude that it's a good idea to start drinking.
"Whether a woman wants to initiate alcohol to reduce her risk" of high blood pressure "is certainly a personal decision," he said.
The study is in today's issue of Archives of Internal Medicine.
A Chicago-area cardiologist, Dr. Mary Ann Malloy, said the benefits linked with light drinking also may reflect a generally healthy lifestyle among people who choose to drink sensibly.
The study also found that isolated binge drinking — downing more than 10 1/2 drinks over three or fewer days
— did not increase the risk of high blood pressure.
The National Institutes of Health funded the research.

U.S. nuclear plans cause concern
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — Foreign governments reacted cautiously to news that the Pentagon has studied options for nuclear strikes on countries that threaten the United States with weapons of mass destruction. Some outside of government called it a worrisome development.
The Pentagon has informed Congress it has outlined for President Bush the possible use of nuclear weapons against hostile countries such as Iraq or North Korea that are developing weapons of mass destruction. The Los Angeles Times reported the targets could also include China, Russia, Iran, Libya and Syria.
Official government reaction from both U.S. allies and rivals was reserved yesterday. Libya's African affairs minister, Ali Abd al-Salam al-Turiki, told reporters in Cairo he found the report hard to believe.
"I don't think this is true," he said. "I don't think America is going to destroy the world."
Both the British Foreign Office and the Italian defense minister dismissed the plans as routine military planning. A NATO spokesman said it was too early to comment.
"Military forces from time to time evaluate their long-term programs even when it is hypothetical," Italian Defense Minister Antonio Martino was quoted as saying by the ANSA news agency.
Outside governments, many perceived the U.S. plans as a threat.
"The order indicates that the U.S. administration is to wreak havoc on the whole world in order to establish its hegemony and domination," said the conservative Tehran Times newspaper, which is close to Iran's long-liners.
"America thinks that if a military threat looms large over the head of these seven countries, they will give up their logical demands," former Iranian President Hashemi Rafsanjani was quoted as saying by the official Islamic Republic News Agency.
The Russian government was silent Sunday on the U.S. report to Congress, but some commentators there called it an unwelcome threat.
The United States "has always seen and sees the U.S.S.R. and post-Soviet Russia as a geopolitical rival," Col.-Gen. Leonid Ivashov, the former head of the Defense Ministry's department for international cooperation, was quoted as saying by the Interfax news agency.
“It's about time Russian politicians realized this and stopped having illusions that Washington wishes Moscow well and prosperity,” said Ivashov, an outspoken hawk who was dismissed last year.
Dmitry Rogozin, a leading Russian lawmaker with close ties to the Kremlin, accused Washington of deliberately organizing the leak in order to intimidate Russia at a time of increasing strain in U.S.-Russia ties. Relations, which had improved dramatically after Sept. 11, have recently been marred by trade disputes over a U.S. decision to introduce new steel tariffs and a Russian ban on U.S. poultry imports.
"They've brought out a big stick — a nuclear stick that is supposed to scare us and put us in our place." Rogozin said on NTV television.
Political analyst Vyacheslav Nikonov suggested the report came at an inauspicious time for Washington, which has recently involved itself in Georgia, Russia's neighbor to the south. U.S. troops are to arrive there this month to train an anti-terrorist force. Russian President Vladimir Putin gave his approval to the U.S. plans, despite initial strong protests from top officials and lawmakers.
Menzies Campbell, spokesman for Britain's third-party Liberal Democrats, was quoted by The Observer newspaper as saying the U.S. policy "completely changes the terms of debate about nuclear deterrence."
Violence rages in Israel but Arafat ban may end
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said yesterday he was prepared to end Yasser Arafat's confinement in the West Bank and negotiate with the Palestinians on a truce — but with violence at its worst levels in 17 months of fighting, he stressed he will not call off the army offensive against militants.
Sharon said Palestinian security forces had arrested the fifth and final suspect in the October slaying of Israeli Cabinet minister Rehavam Zevi, fulfilling the condition for lifting a blockade that has kept Arafat under virtual house arrest in his compound in Ramallah in the West Bank since December.
"People have been arrested. I demanded their arrest and their imprisonment," Sharon told a group of disabled war veterans. "I have said that after they are arrested we shall let him out of there." He did not say when the Palestinian leader would be allowed to move about freely.
Sharon spoke hours after Israeli helicopters pounded Arafat's Gaza Strip office to rubble, retaliation for a Palestinian suicide attack that killed 11 others near Sharon's Jerusalem residence. The Palestinian office in Gaza City had been evacuated before the helicopter attack, and no one was hurt.
"We are in a war," Sharon told his Cabinet at its weekly meeting yesterday, before he said he was ready to lift the travel ban on Arafat. "All of us must stay united and make every effort to stand up to this wave of terror."
Three Palestinians and one Israeli were killed in scattered clashes in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip on Sunday.
Sharon's concession on Arafat came ahead of renewed U.S. diplomatic efforts. The United States is pressing for a ceasefire, and U.S. Mideast envoy Anthony Zinni to visit the region this week for his third attempt in recent months to work out a truce.
"He's going to stay in the region and

fight his way through this." Secretary of State Colin Powell said yesterday on CBS's Face the Nation. "We're not going to allow acts of violence to stop Gen. Zinni from doing his work."
Vice President Dick Cheney, meanwhile, was heading Sunday to the Middle East for a visit to nine Arab nations — Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen — as well as Israel, Britain and Turkey.
Sharon has dropped his demand for a week of complete calm before talking about a cease-fire, but made clear the current Israeli military offensive will press ahead.
Cheney will discuss Middle East violence "at every stop," Powell said.
"We want to make every effort to achieve a cease-fire," Sharon said. "At the same time, we are continuing with our operations ... and if the terror continues our operations will continue."
In Egypt, meanwhile, Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal offered Israel "complete peace from Arab nations" in exchange for Israeli withdrawal from Arab lands captured in 1967, and the creation of an independent Palestine with Jerusalem as its capital.
Al-Faisal, who spoke after meeting Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, offered the most detailed Saudi comments on the kingdom's overture to Israel since it was first made public last month. Israel has expressed strong reservations, but said it is willing to explore the proposal.
Palestinians said the Jerusalem bombing and a shooting attack at a seafront hotel in Netanya, both on Saturday night, were a consequence of Israel's stepped-up military campaign. Recent Israeli raids in several refugee camps have resulted in many civilian casualties.
"This is the normal response from the Palestinian resistance for all the Israelis have done in the refugee camps, to Palestinian civilians, women and children," said Ahmed Abdel Rahman, a top adviser to Arafat. "The Israelis have to expect such operations whenever they escalate their military attacks against our civiliams."
In the worst spate of violence since the fighting erupted in September 2000, more than 120 Palestinians and more than 50 Israelis have been killed in the first 10 days of March.
In a highly symbolic response to the Saturday night attacks, Israeli helicopters and gunboats fired more than two dozen missiles at Arafat's large Gaza City compound before dawn yesterday, collapsing most of the two-story office headquarters into a pile of rubble.
Arafat was not in the compound; he has been confined by Israel to the town of Ramallah in the West Bank.
After the attack, workers went through the debris to salvage documents in the complex, one of the leading symbols of the Palestinian aspirations for statehood.
An officer in Arafat's personal security unit wept upon seeing the wreckage. "This went from being a small social club to being the house of the nation, and look at it now," said Lt. Mohammed Youssef.
Arafat had received world leaders, including former U.S. President Bill Clinton and the late King Hussein of Jordan, at the building.
Elsewhere in Gaza, a Palestinian opened fire at Israelis at the gate of a Jewish settlement, fatally wounding a soldier and injuring a security guard before being shot to death. The Al Aqsa Brigades, a militia affiliated with Arafat's Fatah party, took responsibility for the shooting.
Elections in Republic of Congo spark opposition party dissent
The Associated Press
BRAZZAVILLE, Republic of Congo — President Denis Sassou-Nguesso was poised for an easy victory yesterday in elections he said would restore democracy after back-to-back civil wars.
But the party of opposition leader Andre Milongo, who withdrew his candidacy Friday, slammed the poll as a "masquerade" aimed at legitimizing a post that Sassou-Nguesso seized by force five years ago.
Milongo's pullout left Sassou-Nguesso facing six challengers, none of whom was considered a serious threat.
In the capital, Brazzaville, voting started slowly but picked up slightly through the day. At one shop selling bread, lines were longer than those at most polling stations, which included schools, government buildings and even several bars.
Small groups of police and soldiers stood guard at otherwise empty corners all over the riverside city, as children took advantage of light traffic to play ball in the streets. The government banned unauthorized vehicles from the roads and sealed the nation's borders for the day in an effort to prevent possible vote-rigging.
Milongo, a former prime minister, accused authorities of a lack of fairness and transparency and urged his supporters to boycott the vote. It was unclear whether they had heeded the call.
His campaign director, Thierry Moungalla, protested that the electoral commission set up by the government was not independent.
Electoral officials reported minor irregularities, including insufficient ballots at some polling stations and confusion over where people should go to vote, but said these were addressed. There were no immediate reports of violence.
"I am satisfied to know that the vote is taking place peacefully across the country. This is a good thing for our democracy," said Sassou-Nguesso, who arrived in dark sunglasses and a tan suit to cast his ballot at a local government office decorated with yellow flowers. He and his wife were the only voters there at the time.
the process yourself, you've won before it starts," he said yesterday. Sassou-Nguesso "will be elected, but it won't be legitimate because the process has not been transparent or fair. We consider it a masquerade."
"If you fix all the rules, and you organize
Joaquim Miranda, head of a 43-member European Union observer mission, said his team had detected no major problems in the run-up to the vote.
"Essentially what we want to see is that the results of the election reflect the desires of the population." Miranda said.
At several polling stations, the locks required to seal ballot containers were only placed on after journalists asked where they were.
Sassou-Nguesso, 59, first took power in a popular revolt in 1979, heading a one-party Marxist state for 13 years.
An estimated 1.7 million of the nation's 2.9 million people were registered to vote yesterday. The winner must take more than 50 percent of the vote or face a runoff April 7 with the second-place finisher.
Republic of Congo, an oil-rich country bordering the much larger Congo, gained independence in 1960.
Carter criticizes African AIDS policy
The Associated Press
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa The ruling African National Congress accused former President Jimmy Carter yesterday of being arrogant and contemptuous for criticizing the government's AIDS policies, and said he was trying to foist unsafe drugs on South African AIDS sufferers.
Carter, who visited South Africa Friday before flying to Nigeria, urged the government to do more to fight AIDS and offered to help raise funds for anti-AIDS programs.
Specifically, he said the government should make available at public hospitals the AIDS drug nevirapine, found effective in reducing the mother-to-child transmission of HIV, a major problem in South Africa.
The African National Congress questioned Carter's motives, saying the safety of nevirapine was still unproven, though it has been approved for use by the U.S. Food
Its refusal to make the drug universally available has brought the ruling party condemnation from many quarters — including from Nelson Mandela, the country's widely revered former president.
and Drug Administration and the World Health Organization. A study commissioned by the South African government found the drug to have no negative side effects.
In Abuja, Nigeria, Carter praised that country's leaders at a church service in the presidential villa's chapel Sunday for the work they have done to fight HIV, making a veiled reference to South Africa's President Thabo Mbeki.
"We find it alarming that President Carter is willing to treat our people as guinea pigs, in the interest of the pharmaceutical companies, which he would not do in his own country," the party said in a statement.
"We came earlier this week from another country, which I won't name, where the president has avoided this responsibility completely and AIDS is rampant and growing every day." Carter said.
The South African government has restricted nevirapine's use to a few pilot programs, saying the country does not have adequate infrastructure to administer it properly.
"We have created the impression that we don't care about the thousands of people who are dying," yesterday's Independent reported him as saying.
The government estimated last year that 4.7 million South Africans — one in nine — were HIV positive, more people than any other country.
Mandela said he would try to persuade the African National Congress to change its
The African National Congress also accused Carter of reneging on an agreement not to involve himself in the debate over AIDS drugs and said South Africa could solve its problems on its own.
policies when the national executive committee takes up the matter later this month.
"We do not need the interference and contemptuous attitude of President Carter or anybody else," it said. "We are not arrogant to presume that we know what the U.S. should do to respond to its many domestic challenges. Nobody from elsewhere in the world should presume they have a superior right to tell us what to do with our own challenges."
Mbeki's spokesman Bheki Khumalo refused to comment on the party statement. African National Congress spokesman Smuts Ngonyama said Mbeki had not seen it.

Delta Gamma and Beta Theta Pi bring their skit, "Days of Our Hives" to a close. The performance won the Best Costumes category in the Revue.
ROCK CHALK CONTINUED FROM 1A
current member from either house had ever been in the Revue. Alpha Gamma Delta's appearance was its first in seven years, and Pi Kappa Phi had never been in the Revue before.
Agustin said Matthew Allen, one of the three Pi Kappa Phi directors, didn't understand how the revue worked when he first came to talk to her about entering.
"I explained to him that he needed to turn in his notebook and he was like 'What's a notebook?'" Agustin, Wichita senior, said. "And now here he is with all these awards."
One of the show's six awards went to Allen, Leawood sophomore, who won best actor. He said that winning so many of the awards left him and his cast in a state of shock.
"We were hoping we would win some awards,but we were happy either way because we knew we had a great group and a great show," Allen said.
Hamil said she was happy that the show was able to match last year's record financial contribution.
"It was a concern, just because it was a tough year overall for the economy, but I think we were pretty confident we could raise the same amount as last year," Hamil said.
She said that creating the new fundraising chair position for this year helped the Revue to branch out and find different ways to raise money.
Awards were also handed out for community service performed by participating living organizations. Community Service Coordinator Ed Healy made the announcements.
"We completed over 26,402 hours of service this past year, and from what they've told me, that saves the city of Lawrence hundreds of thousands of dollars," Healy, Keene, N. H. senior said.
Watkins Scholarship Hall was rewarded for having the highest average community service hours per person at 22 hours.
Jennifer Huang of Alpha Delta Pi sorority was recognized for having the most community service hours for an individual, with 180 hours. Kappa Kappa Gamma was recognized as being the most charitable living organization for raising the most money for this year's Revue.

Vallejo also has two classes with projects and papers due, and is a parent.
"I have to find a way to juggle all these so I can spend time with my family," he said. "Once a week, usually Friday, I'll go out and grab a beer. That's pretty much how I handle the stress."
Vallejo said he skipped sleep to have enough time.
"That's pretty much the most difficult thing to handle," he said. "Your body at some point demands rest and you have to stop."
Unfortunately for Vallejo,
spring break won't leave much
time for sleep.
"Basically, during spring break, while all students are enjoying themselves at the beach or wherever, I'm actually doing some work," he said. "I might visit some friends in Nebraska, but that's only if I get everything done."
Bethany Brown, Cheney junior, said she just had to get through the week.
"I have two tests and a paper this week," she said. "I'm trying to take enough breaks to break up the study time. Friends and I play cards in the living room. And we've been watching the KU basketball games, so that's always good."

Kansas needs 6 more wins to avenge loss
No team wants to lose. But there was no better time to fall than yesterday afternoon.
Yesterday marked the first time a team had derailed the Jayhawks since mid-January.
In its first two games of the Big 12 Conference tournament, Kansas pummeled Colorado and towed with Texas Tech before facing Oklahoma—a team blessed with depth but driven with heart. No team fights, pounds and claws like Oklahoma. That's how Sooners coach Kelvin Sampson wins games. He teaches his players to fall in love with defense, to play tough without playing dirty and to fight for 40 minutes. Luckily for Kansas fans, round three between the Big 12's best may not come until the Final Four in Atlanta.
Fans anticipated a feisty game. They did not expect a crippled Kansas offense to fire its first-half shots at an orange rim the size of a clenched fist. Nothing fell for Kansas, and as the minutes passed, the points did not follow.
Kansas did not appear overconfident on Sunday. The team did not underestimate Oklahoma or crumble in front of a raucous Kemper Arena crowd that spent most of yesterday standing on its feet. Kansas just played poorly.
Missed three-pointers. Missed 12-footers. Missed layups. Missed point-blank tap-ins. At the 10-minute mark, Kansas had scored more turnovers than points, eight to seven. It was uncharacteristic of Kansas. But it came before the real season was set to begin. The NCAA rewarded Kansas with a No. 1 seed and a trip to St. Louis, where Jayhawk fanatics can nest for a Thursday-through-Saturday treat of basketball magic. But trampling through the tournament to Atlanta will not be an easy feat.
The Midwest region is loaded
No. 8-seed Stanford, a possible second-round date for Kansas, sports one of the most spectacular tandems of juniors in the country in guard Casey Jacobsen and center Curtis Borchardt.
Illinois, a preseason Final Four team, has underachieved all season. But they garnered enough respect to snag a No. 4 seed, and could be Kansas' enemy in the Sweet 16.
A team rediscovers its hunger to win after it experiences defeat. Kansas has the chance to make its latest loss its last.
No. 5-seed Florida understands how to elevate its game in March. Three starters have Final Four experience. And No. 2-seed Oregon has a deadly trio of offensive assassins: point guard Luke Ridnour, dynamic 6-foot-4 scorer Frederick Jones and floppy-haired three-point threat Luke Jackson. In terms of explosion and excitement, they are the West Coast's version of Kansas' own Gooden, Hinrich and Collison.
Six more wins and no one will remember Kansas falling to Oklahoma.
The road will not be friendly. But Kansas has the lead-car position. The basketball world expects the Jayhawks to arrive in Atlanta in early April.

Kansas sets records, overcomes trash talk
By Doug Pacey Kansan sportswriter
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — There was a lot of trash talking going on during the Big 12 Conference Tournament.
It started Thursday when Colorado freshman center David Harrison said Kansas was "just another team" and "Oklahoma is top to bottom the best team in the conference."
The Jayhawks said they heard murmurs that they weren't the Big 12's best team even after blowout wins against Colorado (102-73) and Texas Tech (90-50).
"There's a lot of trash-talking going around the league, not by Oklahoma, but by people around the league that they're the best team in the conference," junior forward Drew Gooden said. "We just kind of took it to heart. People were saying they're tougher than us, more physical than us. Ask anybody on Oklahoma's team and it went both ways. Fact is, they won the battle."
Record Breakers
Despite scoring a seasonlow 55 points against Oklahoma, the Jayhawks set a record for most points scored in the Big 12 Conference Tournament with 247 and most field goals made (96).
Kansas also set tournament records for most rebounds (147) and most assists (67).
Freshman point guard Aaron Miles had 31 assists in the tournament, shattering
former Kansas standout Jacque Vaughn's tournament assists record of 22. Miles also set the single-game tournament record with 15 assists against Texas Tech Saturday.
Gooden pulled down 40 rebounds in three games and broke former Iowa State forward Jamahl Mosley's record of 30. Gooden also notched his 22nd double-double of the season (22 points and 15 rebounds) and broke Raef LaFrentz's single-season school record for double-doubles.
Kansas coach Roy Williams said he told Sooners coach Kelvin Sampson before the game that he thought both teams would be No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament. But even after Oklahoma (27-4 overall, 16-4 in the Big 12) beat No. 1 Kansas, the Sooners were slighted in favor of Cincinnati (30-3 overall), the West's No. 1 seed, and made the No. 2 seed in the West.
Oklahoma dissed
"They won the conference tournament and they had a great, great year," Williams said. "But there are still only four regions. I think you could make a case if there were five regions. That would be perfect because I think all five teams deserve to be No. 1 and you're splitting hairs again with how they made that decision."

No.1 seed gives little comfort
By Brent Wasko
Kansan sportswriter
There would be no celebration for the Kansas men's basketball team yesterday.
Jayhawk players, coaches and family members watched the NCAA Tournament Selection Show quietly together in an empty Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo. The bitter taste of defeat was still in their mouths.
Just an hour after falling to Oklahoma 64-55 in the Big 12 Conference Tournament title game, Kansas was selected as the No.1 seed in the Midwest Region of the NCAA Tournament.
"We're not going to fake and jump around for joy," junior forward Drew Gooden said. "We knew we were going to be a No.1 seed. We just lost the championship game of the Big 12 Tournament. You put those together and this is not a movie set where we jump for joy or whatever."
"I think we made some mistakes today, and if we change those things that we did improperly, then I think we will gain from it." Williams said. "The NCAA tournament gives us a new life."
Kansas coach Roy Williams said he was proud that his team received the No. 1 seed, but said he hoped his team wouldn't forget the lessons learned from the Oklahoma loss.
In the first round, the Jayhawks will face No. 16-seed Holy Cross, which qualified for the NCAA Tournament by winning the Patriot League Tournament. That game will take place on Thursday at the Edward Jones Domes in downtown
St. Louis. The tip-off time will be announced later today.
If the Jayhawks advance past Holy Cross, they will face the winner of the game between No. 8-seed Stanford and No. 9-seed Western Kentucky. They are the only No. 8 and No. 9 seeds to be ranked in the Associated Press Top 25.
"That's tough," Gooden said. "In some of the other brackets the No.2 seed doesn't even play a ranked team in the second round. It's all twists and turns and corners and bends in the bracket. Bottom line is you need to play well to advance."
Gooden said the Jayhawks were not looking ahead to the second round and are taking the Crusaders, who have an 18-14 overall record, very seriously.
"You play one game at a time in this tournament, and we're focusing on Holy Cross right now," Gooden said. "We can't come out and play like we did in the first half against Oklahoma. It's too crucial for our team to do that again."
The No. 1 seed has not been kind to Kansas teams during Williams'tenure. In 1997, the No. 1-seed Jayhawks fell to eventual-national champion Arizona 85-82 in the Sweet Sixteen. In 1998, No. 1-seed Kansas was upset by Rhode Island 80-75 in the second round.
"I'd be lying if I said it didn't bother me," Williams said. "I have a dream of winning a national championship. My buddies tell me that I'm setting myself up when I admit that, but let's play it out and see what the heck happens this year."

Five tracksters come home All-Americans
By Matt Norton Kansan sportswriter
Five Kansas track athletes traveled to Fayetteville, Ark., this weekend for the NCAA championships. All five returned as All-Americans.
ings with 16 points.
Tennessee won the team title with 62.5 points.
Led by senior Scott Russell's national championship in the 35-pound weight throw, the Jayhawks finished eighth in the men's team stand-
Russell's winning throw of 80 feet,11 1/4 inches set a new meet record,and beat Thomas Freeman
Russell
of Manhattan College by almost six feet.
Bookman, who reset his own school mark in the preliminaries with a time of 20.93 seconds, turned in a mark of 21.12 in the final.
Sophomore Leo Bookman finished seventh in the 200 meters and junior Vadim Gvozdetskiy placed fifth in the pole vault.
For the women, senior Katy Eisenmenger ran a personal best of 4:44.84 in the preliminary heats of the mile run and qualified for the final, in which she finished ninth.
All athletes who finish among the top eight Americans at the meet earn All-American status.
Freshman Brooklyn Hann placed 10th in the preliminaries of the triple jump with a mark of 41-11 1/4, missing the finals by two centimeters.
"We're totally excited for every athlete we had at the meet," coach Stanley Redwine said. "For Scott, that's the way to end your career, so I'm really happy for him."
"To go to NCs and be second or third and now go in in ranked first and win, to finally be able to step up and win is a huge relief." Russell said.
Russell, who said he felt good but didn't throw his best, was confident he would win.
"Once I threw the 80-footer, I knew the title was mine," Russell said. "Once I had that, I tried to go for the (NCAA) record, but couldn't quite get it."
That record already belongs to Russell, who set the mark at Iowa State last month.
Russell's series of throws was the best that assistant coach Doug Reynolds had ever seen in the event, he said.
Reynolds said he wasn't worried about Russell's sub-par week of practice heading into the meet. The coaching staff had been reducing Russell's workload, and it took some time for him to adjust.
"We prepared him to be ready at nationals, not the week before nationals," Reynolds said. "His timing just had to catch up to his speed."
Assistant coach Doug Clark said his goal for Eisenmenger was to make the final and score points.
"We figured Katy ran seven mile races in the last 16 days, all faster than she had ever run before," Clark said. "So she had a great two weeks."
Redwine said each of the jumpers had a hard time adjusting to a fast runway at Arkansas' Randal Tyson Track Center. Hann almost pulled out a berth in the finals in her last jump.
"She did a great job to adjust," Red wine said. "To get All-American as a freshman is just a great thing."

Hutchinson businesses ready for U.S. Women's Open in July
HUTCHINSON — It's still months away, but business owners in Hutchinson are already planning and hoping for an estimated 100,000 golf fans arriving for the U.S. Women's Open.
The Associated Press
The owners are increasing their inventory and staff numbers in anticipation of the golf tournament, which runs July 1-7 and is expected to bring more than $10 million to the city.
"We'll welcome everything we can get," said Hutchinson Mall manager Dan Flores.
"We're planning on doing as much business as we do during the holiday season," said Target store manager Dawn Sinkule. "I don't know that you can really anticipate, though. This is kind of one of those things where you have to look at the overall picture."
"There's going to be more shoppers in here, I'm sure," said Mark Collins, an assistant manager at Wal-Mart.
And that means longer lines, fewer parking spaces and a bit of a wait at the registers.
but that should I use a stopper here? "That week would be fine to do regular shopping as well," she said. "The crowds will mostly be at the U.S. Open during the day."
But that shouldn't deter shoppers, Sinkule said.
Area restaurants also are expecting to do big business.
"I would imagine that this particular store is going to set some records," said Jack Emel, general manager of the Hutchinson Applebee's Neighborhood Grill and Bar, which seats 150. "We're stocked
Kaine Kientz, the new general manager at Montana Mike's Steakhouse, said he may order another 500 pounds of sirloins with his usual stock of 1,000 or 1,500 pounds a week. His staff, which numbers about 60, will increase to 80.
and ready to go."
Some managers say they expect to see a shift in clientele.
"Usually when there's stuff that goes on in town, local people want to stay home," said Tome Muli, owner of the Polo Sports Lounge. "I think they'll be replaced by the people coming to town."
Jim Seitnater, downtown development director, said some businesses had talked about extending their hours or increasing staff. No matter what, they should be ready for the onslaught, he said.
"We'd better be," Seitnater said. "It's not like it snuck on us."
Golf equipment might be the easiest thing to find during the Open.
Golf USA owner Jeff Eriksen said his inventory was going to change as he stocks up on "some of the summery-type inventory," including straw hats, umbrella, sport seats and suntan lotion.
But actual golf equipment isn't expected to fly off the shelves.
Eriksen's shop might have more traffic because of a pique in golf interest, but he thinks he won't reap the benefits until after July 7.
"We're going to see a residual effect of increased interest in golf in the area," Eriksen said. "There are just going to be more people who are interested in the community."
NASCAR winner holds off Earnhardt
The Associated Press
HAMPTON, Ga. — Tony Stewart didn't have any complaints yesterday. He passed Ward Burton with 24 laps to go and held off Dale Earnhardt Jr., winning the MBNA America 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
One of NASCAR's most outspoken drivers, Stewart has complained all year about the aerodynamic disadvantages of his Pontiac.
"It feels great. I think this is my first 500-mile win," said Stewart, who got his 13th career victory. "I wanted to get by (Burton) as fast as I could. I thought if we could get by him and get in clean air, we'd be all right.
He didn't have any problems Sunday,leading the most laps for the second straight race and getting his first victory of the season. He beat Earnhardt by about five car lengths.
After a 43rd-place finish in the season-opening Daytona 500, Stewart has finished in the top five in three straight races and climbed back into the points race.
"it's been a long time coming here for me," he said. The decisive pass was the 34th lead change of the day, a record for this race, although the finish didn't match the past two in this event. Kevin Harvick topped Jeff Gordon by .006 seconds last
vear.
"I moved up the race track and it seemed to help my car, and I thought I might catch him," Earnhardt said. "But he moved up to the same line the next lap. He's a smart race-car driver."
Earnhardt took second from Burton with 22 laps left and immediately began closing on Stewart by using a different line. With Stewart running on the bottom of the track, Earnhardt moved up a lane and got within two car lengths.
Rookie Jimmie Johnson continued his surprising start, finishing third. Matt Kenseth, forced to start at the rear of the field because he changed engines after qualifying, placed fourth. Ricky Craven was fifth.
But Stewart adjusted his line and began pulling away.
"It's always fun running here," Earnhardt said. "This race track always has good racing. You can make an attempt to pass a guy in almost every corner. I love racing here."
The competition at the front of the field was tight all day, with at least five cars in the hunt.
NASCAR's new one-engine rule seemed to have dramatic effect, with at least seven cars suffering engine problems, including Harvick and Michael Waltrip.

Ninth-inning errors plague Jayhawks against Aggies
By Ryan Wood
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas baseball team suffered two ninth-inning disasters in yesterday's doubleheader against No. 13 Texas A&M, losing 5-3 and 10-6 after winning Friday's game 5-4.
The Jayhawks were unable to win either of yesterday's games despite being tied or ahead entering the final inning of each.
"The conference does those things to you." coach Bobby Randall said.
With the losses, Kansas falls to 10-2 overall and 1-2 in Big 12 Conference play. The Aggies improved to 16-5 and 5-1 in the Big 12.
"Kansas has a good ball club, and I can see why they were undefeated when we came in here," Aggie coach Mark Johnson said. "Certainly we could have walked out of here getting swept just as easily."
Senior Dan Olson pitched seven solid innings in the first game, allowing just three runs and striking out seven. Kansas scored all three of its runs in the fifth, helped by RBI singles from sophomore outfielder Matt Tribble and senior third baseman Ryan Klocksien.
"We did a pretty good job of hitting," Randall said, "but we didn't finish it off and we lost our composure."
Three Jayhawk errors led to two ninth-inning runs that made the difference in the game. Freshman pitcher Tom Gorzelanny suffered the loss, his first and Kansas' first of the season.
"We got together and said we had to make things happen," said Aggie third baseman Tim Petru, who homered in the game. "Put the ball in play, and make them make the play."
Like in the first two games of the series, Kansas scored runs in bunches in yesterday's second game. The Jayhawks collected six hits in a five-run fourth inning, highlighted by a two-run single by junior outfielder Jason Appuhn.
Appuhn, making his first start of the season after recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, also stole a base and scored a run.
"I feel real good," he said. "It was kind of frustrating not to be able to do anything."
Down 6-4 in the ninth with two outs, Texas A&M's David Evans hit a huge two-run home run to tie the game up. The Aggies scored four more runs, putting the game out of reach.
"We hung a bad pitch, and they put good wood on it," Appuhn said. "Those things happen."
The victory extended the team's winning streak to 10 games, the second highest total in team history.
Senior Jeff Davis pitched eight innings, allowing no earned runs and striking out five, improving his record
Kansas took a 2-0 lead early on, highlighted by a fourth inning home run by sophomore second baseman Rvan Baty.
to 3-0. Gorzelanny pitched a perfect ninth and grabbed his third save of the season.
Baty had two throwing errors in the eighth, which helped Texas A&M take a 4-2 lead.
After Kansas answered with two runs of its own in the bottom of the eighth, he delivered the RBJ single that proved to be the game-winner.
"real sweet redemption," Baty said.
"I wanted to be the one to drive it in."
Appuhn said that though winning just one of three close games was frustrating, the team wouldn't hang its head.
"That was the No.13 team in the nation," he said, "and we were one pitch away from winning the series from them."
The Jayhawks return to action tomorrow, starting a six-game road trip with a game at Southwest Missouri State. They return to conference play next weekend at Baylor.
"I'm still awful proud of our team and our players," Randall said. "They'll come back. I'm not worried about that."

Softball team extends streak, wins tournament
FAIRFIELD
By Ali Brox Kansan sportswriter
At its team retreat before the season, Kansas softball players decided that they wanted to win their own tournament.
The Jayhawks got what they wanted this weekend, going 4-0 and winning the Kansas Holiday Inn Invitational for the second straight year.
KIMBERLY THOMPSON/KANSAN
Senior third baseman Megan Urqhart throws to second base as freshman pitcher Serena Settlemier ducks. Kansas won its game against Portland State 5-0 Sunday at Jayhawk Field.
Kansas improved its record to 11-7 and extended its winning streak to seven games.
The Jayhawks won both games Friday, 3-0 against Princeton and 6-0 against Indiana State. Kansas won two more yesterday, topping Indiana State again, 9-1, and Portland State, 5-0.
"I was pleased with our pitching," coach Tracy Bunge said. "This weekend, obviously, throwing four games and only giving up one run is a major step in the right direction."
Freshman pitcher Serena Settlemier got the victory against Portland State yesterday, and said Kansas' pitching was solid all weekend.
"We all had the attitude to not let anybody get on." Settlemier said.
Bunge said she was satisfied with the Jayhawks' offense, but that their defensive still needed some improvement.
"We're still making errors that didn't cost us much this weekend but that, in the future, could," Bunge said.
The games did allow the Jayhawks to work on some offensive strategies in game situations. Senior left fielder Christi Musser laid down a squeeze bunt on Friday that left Bunge very
pleased.
"We executed a squeeze bunt, my God," Bunge said. "We've been trying to execute that for God knows how long. We tried a couple of different things just to see, and when you get a lead you can do those kind
of things. It's kind of nice to see us execute that in those type of situations."

No.12-seed Creighton pleased with its ticket to NCAA tournament
The Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb. — When Creighton's name appeared in the Midwest Region of the NCAA tournament, the Bluejays had the seed they expected and the destination they wanted.
After locking up its fourth straight NCAA berth by winning the Missouri Valley Conference tournament last Monday, Creighton will be a No. 12 seed when it plays fifth-seeded Florida at 11:30 a.m.CST on Friday at the United Center in Chicago.
Creighton lost to Iowa 69-56 in last year's first round at Nassau Coliseum in New York. Most of the team's talk yesterday centered on how pleas
h-
t-
n-
they were to stay closer to home this year.
"We're very excited about the opportunity to go to Chicago," Creighton coach Dana Altman said. "It should give our fans an opportunity to go along with us if they want."
The game will be just the second meeting between Creighton and Florida, a 62-52 loser to Mississippi State in the Southeastern Conference quarterfinals Friday. The Bluejays beat the Gators 75-73 at the 1996 San Juan Shootout in Puerto Rico.
Both teams have been to the NCAA tournament four straight seasons, both have four consecutive seasons with at least 20 victories and
both take a 22-8 record into Thursday's game.
"All I wanted was to a play a big school and to play in Chicago at the United Center," said junior forward Kyle Korver, Creighton's leading scorer with a 15-point scoring average. "That's exactly what we
got."
The Bluejays, with no seniors on their roster, finished with a 14-4 record in the Missouri Valley Conference and shared the regular-season title with Southern Illinois.
But the team struggled to hold on to big leads at times, and ended the regular season by letting Drake rally for a 75-73 win in Omaha. That cost the Bluejays the outright Missouri Valley regulars.
son championship.
"We thought we'd be an 11 or 12," Altman said about the NCAA seed. "We haven't demonstrated the consistency, you know, that they probably were looking at to be any higher."
Creighton entered the Missouri Valley tournament as a longshot for an at-large NCAA bid. The Bluejays then won three straight games and avenged two earlier losses to Southern Illinois with an 84-76 win in the conference championship game.
"We played the best basketball last weekend that we have all year," said sophomore center Brody Deren. "I think it's going to carry over."

Kansas plays tough wins three straight conference matches
By Jonah Ballowe Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas tennis team experienced its own version of March Madness this weekend at the Alvamar Racquet Club.
Kansas would then dominate singles play winning five of six matches. Senior Cheryl Mallaiah played strong as she defeated Faltynkova in straight sets, 6-2, 6-3. The only loss for the Jayhawks was at the No. 3 singles position with Brown losing to Katia Vasylvea 6-1, 6-3.
The Jayhawks beat Texas Tech, No. 23 Oklahoma State and No. 37 Oklahoma in three consecutive days — improving their record to 7-3 overall, 6-0 at home, and 3-0 in the Big 12.
"I'm very proud of the way the team started in conference play," coach Kilmeny Waterman said.
"It was nice to get our first conference win against an improved Texas Tech team,"Waterman said.
"I am very proud of how we played all the way through the match," coach Waterman said. "This is a real turning point with this team knowing that we can win big matches."
It would not get any easier for the Jayhawks when they took on the No.23 Oklahoma State Cowgirls. Kansas would upset the Cowgirls 6-1.
The Jayhawks would again see the tone early in doubles play. The No.1 doubles team of twins Courtney and Kristen Steinbock beat Katia Kolodynska and Linda Faltvnkova 8-2.
In the first of the three matches, Kansas barely defeated the Red Raiders, 4-3. The doubles teams started strong for Kansas as they won two out of the three matches and gained the key doubles point. Freshman Paige Brown and sophomore Emily Haylock dominated their No. 2 doubles match winning 8-2 against Noel Ruiz and Barbara Shraml.
In singles play, the Red Raiders started dominant winning the first three matches. The bottom of the roster for the Jayhawks bounced back and won the next three matches and the overall victory. No. 6 singles junior Kim Lorenz was the deciding match in defeating Kendall Brooks 6-1, 6-4.
The final match for the Jayhawks was another dominating victory, 6-1 against the Oklahoma Sooners.
The Steinbock twins got back-to-back victories by defeating Bethany Griffin and Heather Saluri 8-4.
"We came into this match with a lot of confidence," Courtney Steinbock said. "Kristen and I are starting to click because we are getting along a lot better on and off the court."
Kansas then jumped all over the Sooners in singles play as they won five of the six matches all in straight sets.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5B
Duke wins ACC named No.1 seed in tournament
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Mike Krzyzewski has been in enough championship settings to get a good read on his team. He knew to keep quiet yesterday.
The Associated Press
841-PLAY
1029 Massachusetts
"They had gotten themselves up for the game. When I went into my pregame talk I said, 'You better not say too much, you'll ruin the moment,'" Krzyzewski said following Duke's 91-61 victory over North Carolina State in the ACC championship game.
"I love that because that's the maturity that has developed over the last couple of weeks."
KINGS
The third-ranked Blue Devils became the first program in the 49 years of the Atlantic Coast Conference to win four straight championships as MVP Carlos Boozer scored 26 points, Jason Williams added 24 and Mike Dunleavy had 18 in the 30-point blowout.
The 6-foot-9, 280-pound Boozer was 11-for-12 from the field and finished 20-of-24 in three tournament games. He was 33-for-39 in three games this season against N.C. State.
"I've been in this league 22 years and I know how precious each tournament win is." Krzyzewski said when asked about the four straight titles. "It's a little bit hard to believe."
"Carlos does a great job calling for the ball," Williams said. "When the guards are driving Carlos will just yell out. To hear a voice like that demanding the ball you know he's going to finish."
Boozer missed the first shot of the game, then made 11 straight to dominate the Wolfpack, who were led by Anthony Grundy's 13 points.
"That's almost unheard of," Grundy said of Boozer's shooting stats.
Second-seeded Duke (29-3) had its ACC-record streak of five consecutive regular-season titles snapped by Maryland, who was upset by the Wolfpack (22-10) in the semifinals Saturday.
That set up the first meeting in the finals between the Blue Devils and Wolfpack since 1966. But like Duke's 19- and 37-point wins over N.C. State in the regular season, this one wasn't much of a game as Duke nailed down its fifth straight No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.
SPORTS
Duke's 63.5 percent shooting set a championship game record and its winning margin was the second-largest in tourney history.
"We've certainly maintained all along that they're an awesome basketball team," Wolfpack coach Herb Sendek said. "We all saw that again today.
"Every word and accolade has already been put next to their name," Sendek added. "We really
had no adequate response or answer for them. We all saw a great basketball team in action."
Krzyzewski emptied his bench with about four minutes left and received hugs from each of his starters.
"This still means a lot," Dunleavy said when asked if winning the ACC has become old hat. "This is something we don't get tired of, I think you can see that."
and Boozer had seven in the opening 6:32 as the Blue Devils made nine of 14 shots against Sendek's zone defense.
Williams scored eight points
against a Duke team that prides itself on ball movement and penetration.
That proved to be a mistake
"Whether you play them man or zone, you still deal with the same kind of things," Sendek said in defense of his early defensive strategy. "A zone was just one piece of trying to keep them off balance a little bit. I thought Wake Forest had some success with it once they got down 27-7 (Saturday), but it obviously wasn't the answer."
And while Duke was hot, the fourth-seeded Wolfpack were not, appearing passive against a school it hasn't beaten in 13 tries.
N. C. State shot a combined 60 percent in tournament wins over Virginia and Maryland, but missed 14 of its first 18 shots in its first ACC final since 1997 and fell behind 29-14.
A 14-4 run did help pull the Wolfpack within five points, but Dunleavy scored nine points over the final 3:03 of the half, hitting two 3-pointers and converting a three-point play to send N.C. State to the locker room down 46-32.
"Mike said, 'Get me the ball,'"
Krzyzewski said. "I love when a player says that. So we called a couple of plays for him and he responded. That was huge. I thought when we handled that we got control of the game."
Duke's big three — Boozer, Williams and Dunleavy — combined for 38 of Duke's 46 points in the half.
A 3-pointer by Williams less than three minutes into the second half gave Duke its biggest lead to that point at 18. Williams' shot bounced high on the rim twice before falling though the net. The All-American just turned, smiled and looked to the sky.

His fastbreak layup two minutes later gave the Blue Devils a 20-point lead en route to their 12th straight ACC tournament win. Ten of those victories have been by double digits and Duke has won its titles by 23, 13, 26 and 30 points.

Tigers optimistic despite No.12 seed
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri's best record in the tenure of Quin Snyder got the Tigers their worst seed in the NCAA Tournament in his three years as coach.
The Associated Press
That might not be such a bad thing.
Missouri was given the No.12 seed in the West Region and scheduled to play fifth-seed Miami (24-7) on Thursday in Albuquerque, N.M. If they win, they would face either fourth-seed Ohio State (23-7) or 13th-seed Davidson (21-9) on Saturday.
That scenario could be friendlier to the Tigers than in recent years when they've been the eighth or ninth seed, setting them up for a likely game against a No.1 seed after a win. Such was the case last season, when Missouri beat Georgia 70-68, then lost to Duke 94-81 in the second round.
Talking to reporters after the brackets were announced, Snyder and his players sounded confident that they could be dangerous as a lower seed. When he was asked whether he
liked this year's matchups, he quipped: "We're the 12 seed. We're not supposed to be beating anybody."
The Tigers' fate was left in question after their 89-85 loss to Texas in the second round of the Big 12 Tournament on Friday. Their 21-11 record was offset by a 9-7 conference mark and the disappointment of going from the No. 2 ranking in December to not getting a vote in either poll by the end of the season.
Cincinnati (30-3) was picked as the No.1 seed of the West Region.
Missouri's big wins this season came against then-No. 22 Alabama and then-No. 8 Iowa in November in the Guardian's Classic; then-No. 5 Virginia in Columbia on Feb. 3; and No. 12 Oklahoma State on Feb. 25. But disappointing losses came against DePaul (9-19) on Dec. 29, Iowa State (12-19) on Jan. 9 and Baylor (14-16) on Feb. 9.
This will be Missouri's fourthstraight trip to the tournament. In 1999, Norm Stewart's 32nd and final season as coach, the Tigers lost in the first round 61-59 to New Mexico, ending their season at 20-9.
NBA veteran helps NCCA upstart win
The Associated Press
BOCARATON, Fla. —The congratulations have been pouring in since Sidney Green led Florida Atlantic to its first NCAA tournament berth.
He's gotten calls from his former coaches — Rick Pitino, Chuck Daly and Larry Brown. Former UNLV coach Jerry Tarkanian sent a congratulatory fax. Former NBA teammates Michael Jordan and Charles Oakley left messages. And Green has received more than 100 e-mails.
Green, a former UNLV star who played 10 seasons in the NBA, has transformed Florida Atlantic from a 2-28 team in his first season to this year's Atlantic Sun Conference tournament champion. That gave the Owls an automatic NCAA bid.
"All the individual accolades that I achieved — high school All-American, college All-American, NBA—it doesn't compare to this," Green said. "That's one reason that I wanted to coach—to try to make a difference."
The Owls (19-11) won a total of nine games in Green's first two years and this season were picked
to finish 10th in the 11-team league. Instead, they finished third and beat defending champion Georgia State 76-75 in the conference title game March 2.
Despite this year's success, Florida Atlantic's NCAA trip might have a quick end. As the surprise champion of a low-profile league, the Owls could be drawn in the first round against a top seed, such as Duke or Cincinnati.
Some wondered why Green would take on the challenge of an obscure college team instead of pursuing a coaching career in the NBA. After he retired from the pros in 1993, he had an offer from the Charlotte Hornets to start in radio and work his way into a coaching position. But Green wanted his own program where he could develop young talent.
"I don't think any other NBA player would have done what I did," the 6-foot-9 coach said.
Florida Atlantic is best known as the home of Howard Schnellenberger's fledgling football program. There's no winning tradition in basketball, and things went from bad to worse at first under Green, who had just seven players his first season.

NCAA tournament brackets set
The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — Duke was seeded No. 1 for the NCAA tournament for a record fifth straight year yesterday, joined atop the regional brackets by top-ranked Kansas, Maryland and Cincinnati.
For the first time, the NCAA selection committee allowed teams — grouped in four-team "pods" — to stay closer to home for the first and second rounds before returning to their assigned regionals.
Maryland (26-4) was seeded first in the East and will play in nearby Washington on Friday against the winner of tomorrow's opening-round game between Alcorn State of the Southwestern Athletic Conference and Siena of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
The other matchup in that pod is eighth-seeded Wisconsin against ninth-seeded St. John's.
The other four teams in that part of the East Regional bracket will play Thursday in St. Louis, Mo., with fourth-seeded Kentucky playing Valparaiso and fifth-seeded Marquette going against Tulsa.
The lower part of the bracket features second-seeded Connecticut against Hampton in Washington on Friday, along with seventh-seeded North Carolina State against Michigan State, which has been in the last three Final Fours.
In Chicago on Friday, third-seeded Georgia
meets Murray State and sixth-seeded Texas Tech plays Southern Illinois.
In the Midwest Regional, Kansas (29-3), which had its 15-game winning streak snapped by Oklahoma in the Big 12 tournament championship game yesterday, will play Holy Cross on Thursday in St. Louis. The other game in that pod is eighth-seeded Stanford against Western Kentucky.
ine other half of the upper bracket has fourth-seeded Illinois staying in the area against San Diego State on Friday, while fifth-seeded Florida faces Creighton.
Oregon, the Pac-10 regular-season champion, is seeded second and will play Montana in Sacramento, Calif., on Thursday, with seventh-seeded Wake Forest against Pepperdine in the other game.
The other half of the lower part of the bracket is in Dallas on Friday, with third-seeded Mississippi State against McNeese State, and sixth-seeded Texas facing Boston College.
Duke (29-3) will open defense of its national championship as the No.1 team in the South, playing Winthrop on Thursday in Greenville, S.C., while eighth-seeded Notre Dame faces Charlotte.
The other pod in that bracket will be in Sacramento on Thursday, with fourth-seeded Southern California against North Carolina-Wilmington, and fifth-seeded Indiana facing Utah.
Alabama is seeded second in the South and will also play in Greenville, meeting Florida Atlantic, which is making its first tournament appearance. The other game in that pod features seventh-seeded Oklahoma State against Kent State.
Pittsburgh, which lost to Connecticut in the Big East championship game, gets to stay home as the No. 3 seed, playing Central Connecticut State, which has the nation's longest current winning streak, on Friday. The other game features another in-state team, Ivy League champion Pennsylvania, against sixth-seeded California.
The other part of the top half of the bracket will be in Albuquerque, N.M., on Thursday. Fourth-seeded Ohio State, the Big Ten tournament champion, plays Davidson and fifth-seeded Miami faces Missouri.
Cincinnati (30-3), the only team with 30 wins entering the tournament, is No.1 in the West Regional. The Bearcats open against Boston University in Pittsburgh on Friday, with eighth-seeded UCLA facing Mississippi in the other game.
Oklahoma's first game after the upset of Kansas will be as a No. 2 seed in Dallas on Friday against Illinois-Chicago, with seventh-seeded Xavier facing Hawaii in the other game.
The other pod in the lower half features third-seeded Arizona against Cal-Santa Barbara in Albuquerque, along with sixth-seeded Gonzaga facing Wyoming.
Iowa falls to Ohio State, ends run
The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — Iowa's tournament magic finally ran out.
Boban Savovic scored 27 points to lead No. 21 Ohio State to an 81-64 victory over the Hawkeye yesterday to win its first Big Ten tournament championship.
After winning three games in as many days, two on their final possession, and a record seven straight games in the Big Ten tournament, the Hawkeyes fell one game shy of a second straight title run.
Iowa (19-15) proved too weary to stay with the Buckeyes, who earned their fourth straight NCAA tournament appearance.
Luke Recker, Iowa's hero in the last two wins, finished with 21 points, while Reggie Evans had 13 points and eight rebounds.
Brent Darby added 14 points for the Buckeyes, while Brian Brown had nine.
Ohio State (23-7) shared the Big Ten regular-season title with three other teams but staked its claim to being the conference's top team by becoming the only one of the four to reach the championship game.
Iowa, a preseason favorite in the Big Ten, went just 5-11 in conference play before winning Thursday. Friday and Saturday.
While Iowa had success in the tournament previously, the Buckeyes had little.
Last week, the players shaved their heads to provide a unified front as they attempted to change their postseason history. In the previous four seasons, Ohio State was 1-4 in the conference tournament, but the Buckeyes won three straight to capture this year's title.
Ohio State took advantage of Iowa's fatigue early by getting to most of the loose balls and shooting well.
The Buckeyes broke to a 9-0 lead with Savovic and Brown each hitting 3-pointers.
Iowa appeared a little fresher at the start of the second half and Evans and Pierre Pierce accounted for the first six points, getting the Hawkeyes within 37-65 at the 17:32 mark.
Ohio State, however, rebuilt a 51-43 lead on another 3-pointer by Savovic, the tournament MVP. Iowa countered with five straight points, but the Buckeyes regained control with an 11-4 run to make it 64-54 with 7:09 to go.
They extended the lead to 29-15 before the Hawkeyes rallied with a 9-2 run and closed to 37-29 at halftime.
Then the Buckeyes pulled away as Savovic hit consecutive 3-pointers to make it 74-58 with 4:47 remaining.
The Hawkeyes, who rallied behind Recker for upset victories on Friday and Saturday, couldn't do the same yesterday as they lost in the Big Ten tournament for the first time since 2000.

Expletives fly in weekend TV
The Associated Press
NEWYORK — Time to wash the speakers out with soap: This past weekend marked a milestone in televised swearing.
Several profanities were included in the riveting footage on the CBS9-11 documentary about the World Trade Center collapse last night, the most in memory for a single prime-time broadcast network show.
And ESPN's first-ever original movie, A Season on the Brink, contained frequent swear words from the lips of actor Brian Dennehy portraying basketball coach Bobby Knight—highly unusual for a basic cable network that has avoided profanity in the past.
Both decisions were debated at length within their respective networks, which ultimately said they opted for realism.
They were notable developments even for a television landscape that has plainly grown coarser over the last few years.
There was less than one use of rough — not even necessarily profane — language per prime-time hour on all the broadcast networks during the 1989-90 TV season. By the 1999-2000 season, there were nearly five per hour, according to a study by the Parents Television Council.
During four weeks of viewing in 1989, PTC researchers counted 108 uses of "hell" and "damn." By 1999, there were 518, the group said.
The language on 9-11 was much tougher. Firefighters are shown staring at the fireball after the first plane flew into the World Trade Center and repeatedly say
ing. "Holy (expletive)." Firefighters use vivid language to express their anger at the attack.
At one point, the filmmaker is ordered away from the World Trade Center by a police officer who says, "This ain't (expletive) Disney Land."
Profanity is uttered throughout the footage captured that day by the two French filmmakers who were making a documentary on firefighters. "What you see is quite limited," said Susan Zirinsky, 9-11 executive producer.
The program's host, Robert De Niro, warned viewers at the outset to expect rough language.
"This was uncharted territory," Zirinsky said. "The language was rough but the circumstances were rough."
Brent Bozell, president of the Parents Television Council, said he couldn't object to the language. He compared it to the TV premiere of the movie, Schindler's List, about the Holocaust. Bozell said he had his twin 14-year-old sons watch that movie with him, despite the violence and full-frontal nudity, because he believed it was so important.
The head of broadcast standards for NBC said he understood CBS' reasoning. "I would have made the same call," said Alan Wurtzel.
Many of his other decisions are harder. What used to be hard-and-fast rules for network standards departments aren't anymore, he said.
"They have really diverged," he said. "There are some things I hear on other networks that I'm really surprised at, and I hear from my colleagues that there are things on our network that they are surprised at."

Tuition increase finalized
By Meredith Carr Kansan staff writer
Tuition will increase by $50 million during the next five years, the Ad-Hoc Committee on University Funding determined yesterday.
Under the proposal, tuition would increase by $19.20 per credit hour each year for five years for a total increase of $96.00 per credit hour. In-state students currently pay $77.75 per credit hour.
Tuition is being increased to close a gap between the funding level for KU and the funding level for its peer schools. The University chose to pursue a tuition increase rather than cutting programs for students.
"I do not think $50 million is acceptable... I'm trying to protect the interest of the students that are here, and the ones that could
ones that could potentially come here."
Matt Steppe
Student Senate legislative director
and committee member
is to get money to better educate the students," said Charles Krider, committee member and professor of business.
The committee voted 5-3 to choose
the $50 million plan, and not all committee members agreed with the increase.
"I do not think $50 million is acceptable," said Matt Steppe, Student Senate legislative director and committee member. Steppe said $50 million was too great of a burden for a student body in which 51 percent of students already received financial aid.
"I'm trying to protect the interest of the students that are here, and the ones that could potentially come here," he said.
The committee must now decide how the extra revenue will be spent. It will meet at 1 p.m. Thursday at the Provost's

ISSUE 109 VOLUME 112
TUITION INCREASE DECIDED
What happened? The Ad-Hoc Committee on University Funding selected a final tuition increase plan to present to the Board of Regents in April.
The decision: The committee voted 5-3 to select the $50 million proposal.
What's next: Students can say how the money should be spent at an open microphone and rally in front of Wescoe Hall today at noon.
The impact: If the proposal is implemented, tuition would increase by $86 per credit hour during the next five years.
Sex evolves with online culture,new technology
By Summer Lewis Kansan staff writer
What some people consider sex is changing.
A new generation is growing up with cyberspace as the place of their first sexual experience. "The
"Cybersex is the new form of masturbating that is substituting for erotic literature or pictures in magazines," said Dennis Dailey, professor of human sexuality. "The mechanism of getting off may be different, but the experi-
cyberspace partner can stimulate a clitoris or penis, which is a technological advantage that produces an interface between people." Dennis Dailey Human sexuality professor
ence is the same."
Cybersex, which includes things such as chat rooms and viewing pornographic images on the Internet, allows people the freedom to explore sexuality, he said.
"Parents and schools don't talk about sex, so students look to erotic books, comics or magazines," Dailey said. "The Internet gives them the freedom to access the same information by using a more contemporary mode."
Tools allowing people to manipulate the sex organs of a cyber lover are being developed.
A new product called the Virtual Sex Machine will plug into a PC and allow a remote Internet partner to control stimulation. The female version of this product is still in the design stages.
Dailey said cybersex products would initiate a whole new era of computer-mediated interactions.
"The cyberspace partner can stimulate a clitoris or penis, which is a technological advantage that produces an interface between people," Dailey said. "The fact that someone can actually stimulate a partner makes cybersex different from phone sex or sex telephone lines."
Hopping on the net to look at pictures or to find that cyber partner would be wonderful," he said. "He could go down to the store to get a magazine or to the library to get erotic liter-
Dailey said cybersex was a good, safe idea for those students who needed sex and haven't had it for a while.

Residence hall students and Residential Networking administrators began working together last night to speed up the residence halls' connection to the Internet.
The meeting was the first product of a new initiative by ResNet to include more student input in ResNet decisions. Anne Ermey, director of Residential Networking, led the meeting, which included 12 students.

Conference to support gay issues, Pride Week
Pride Week in Lawrence will be amplified this year by a conference aimed at lesbian/gay/bisexual/transsexual (LGBT) college students and their allies.
By Maggie Koerth Kansan staff writer
The KU Student Development Center will play host to the Big 12 Gay Conference during Pride Week, which aims to raise awareness of queer issues. The conference will be held at the Holidome, 200 McDonald Dr., April 11 through 13. Pride Week runs April 7 to 13.
Laurie Sisk, LGBT resource coordinator for the student development center, said the conference was planned for that week in order to showcase the accomplishments of Lawrence's queer community. Sisk also serves as photo editor of the Kansan.
"For Kansas, Lawrence is very progressive, and even though we still have a lot to do, I am proud of what we've accomplished." she said.
Sisk said she came up with the idea after attending a conference in Illinois last year.
"I saw how at smaller schools they take these tiny groups of people and put them together, and through interaction and sharing of ideas they are able to really make things happen," she said.
Sisk said the conference would feature workshops, a dance and keynote speaker Bob Minor, religious studies professor.
Minor is the author of Scared Straight: Why It's So Hard to Accept Gay People and Why It's So Hard to Be Human. His book has been nominated for a Lambda Award, a prestigious literary award given within the queer community.
Minor said the conference would give queer students a chance to relate to each other and raise queer issue awareness.
"It is still difficult to be LGBT in this country. People who think there is no discrimination aren't paying attention," he said. "The issue is still around, and it hurts people, heterosexual as well as LGBT."
Sisk said workshop topics would cover everything from religious issues to homoeroticism in Greek art.
Tara Wolfe, Lawrence senior and member of Queers and Allies, which organizes many Pride Week activities, said she hoped conference participants and Pride Week attendees would interact and attend each other's events. She said the conference was a sign of commitment to diversity by the University.
Registration for the Big 12 Gay Conference is $30 and covers all three days of speakers, workshops and entertainment. Students interested in registering should contact Laurie Sisk at 864-4064 or check out the conference Web site, www.ku.edu/~biggay.

Engineering school minority numbers drop
The University of Kansas School of Engineering continues to struggle recruiting certain minority students.
According to statistics from the School of Engineering, the number of African Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans in engineering continues to drop. They now make up only 5.1 percent of engineering students.
By Leah Shaffer
Kansan staff writer
Florence Boldridge, director of diversity programs for the school of engineering, said the low numbers of minorities in the quantitative sciences, such as engineering, mirror the low numbers at the University as a whole.

Wescoe rally set for today to promote tuition discussion
Students and faculty are encouraged to voice their opinions on issues related to the tuition increases.
Tuition dialogues will continue today in a different manner. A rally/open mic event will take place at noon in front of Wescoe Hall in an effort to continue the discussion of the tuition increase.
Though the event is not sponsored by any campus organization, the purpose is to get people talking about the issues before the final tuition proposal is decided by the Board of Regents in April.
"This event is meant to provide an open forum on campus for students and any faculty to voice their concerns about paying more tuition," said Kyle Browning, student body vice president.

Fight between roommates results in 1 injury, 1 arrest
A fight between two University of Kansas students Sunday resulted in one student being hospitalized and the other arrested.
Michael Kirby, Prairie Village senior, hit his roommate, Mark Crawford, Estate, Ill., junior, over the head with a bottle around 4:20 a.m. Sunday, said Lawrence police Sgt. Mike Patrick. He said he could not elaborate on the circumstances concerning the fight.
Police were dispatched around 4:30 a.m. to the students' home in the 1000 block of Kentucky Street, Patrick said.
Kirby was arrested on a charge of agravated domestic battery.
Crawford was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital to be treated for cuts on the side of his head and on his foot, Patrick said. He was released Sunday, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Student called to court for possession of firecrackers
Brian Regan, Gendale Heigh, Ill., freshman, was issued a notice last Friday to appear in court for possession of firecrackers.
Regan and his roommate lit firecrackers in their room in Jayhawker Tower D on Feb. 24. A resulting fire caused $10,000 in damage. City ordinance prohibits the use of firecrackers except during supervised, authorized public displays and during Fourth of July celebrations.
The municipal court did not yet know Regan's court date.

City considers surveying public
Commission might poll opinions of Lawrence officials
The City Commissionistaking steps to make City Hall a more friendly place for Lawrence residents.
The commission met Wednesday to discuss the possibility of improving Lawrence's City Hall.
The commission discussed hiring local statisticians to surveys the public and city employees about city officials' accessibility, which could cost the city between $5,000 and $20,000.
By Lauren Beatty
Kansan staff writer
The meeting stemmed from the commission's annual evaluation in January of City Manager Mike Wildden. David Dunfield, city commissioner, said questions were raised about how satisfied the people of Lawrence were with their government officials.
"To some extent, anything the city proposes has supporters and detractors," he said. "I think we felt it was time to get a more well-rounded picture."
Dunfield said some of the problems had to do with Wildgen's personality.
"There may be some people that feel Lawrence is hard to deal with." Dunfield said.
Mike Rees, chief counsel for the Kansas Department of Transportation, said he generally had a good relationship with the city staff.
"I wouldn't say it's tough to deal with them," he said. "Some are more open than others."
Wildgen would not comment on whether he thought the people of Lawrence saw him as unfriendly or on specific comments from his evaluation, but did say that he had received a lot of public support.
Wildgen said plans for general improvements to City Hall were not finalized, but cited past improvements made in response to public feedback.
"It's not just the building, but all of City Hall," Wildgen said. "All departments should be sensitive to those issues."
John Nalbandian, chairman of the public administration department at the University of Kansas and former city commissioner, said two aspects of public administration were courtesy and respect.
A1996 report that also addressed accessibility issues led to changes to the building and increased Web access, he said.
"We don't teach courtesy. We do teach respect that public officials should have as local government officials," he said.
Nalbandian said the department took time to teach students in the program who would become city government officials to spend a lot of time building relationships between the public and the government.
Officials have responsibilities to the public and the profession. Nalbandian said, but the issue is complex and responsibilities are sometimes difficult to handle.
"It's really a matter of talking about the role of government," he said.

Boldridge said when she first came to the University in 1983, she thought there were more than 1,000 African-American students. This year, there are 666 African-American students campuswide, with 33 in the engineering school. The three groups make up 5.9 percent of the University population.
Tama Aga, Overland Park junior, is vice president of the KU chapter of Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers. That society, along with the National Society of Black Engineers, works to create a communities for the different ethnic groups within the engineering school. Aga said there were a variety of
Aga said his organization visited such schools in order to encourage the students to pursue engineering. The next step was for the University to retain the minority students, he said.
"I think that a big reason for it are a lot of minorities are in inner-city schools and they don't get exposed to it." Aga said.
reasons for the low numbers of minorities in engineering.
According to "Upping the Numbers," a report commissioned by the General Electric Fund, these same groups are unrepresented nationwide in the quantitative sciences.
According to the report, minorities will compose up to 40 percent of the workforce by 2008. African Americans and Hispanics currently make up 20 percent of the general workforce
Boldridge said the national numbers were low because, until today, many minorities did not have role models to guide them into engineering.
but less than 8 percent of the workforce in engineering, physical sciences and economics.
Kansas is doing a good job at attracting another underrepresented group, female engineers. Women make up 18 percent of students in the engineering school, which is above the national average. Boldridge said the school also was doing a better job of hiring female professors.
Boldridge said the school's diversity program was 31 years old. It has served as the model for similar programs in other schools at the University.
Boldridge said the main key to getting more minorities was a
matter of money.
"The same students you are after are the same that all the schools are after." Boldridge said.
Boldridge said the diversity programs received plenty of support from the dean's office and that raising the numbers was a high priority.
The best way to be competitive with the other schools was to offer more scholarships, Boldridge said. However, she said that getting more money for scholarships would be tough because of the current tight budget situation.
"Our school and current dean have been very good about encouraging through scholarship," she said.

Students will also have a chance to share their views on spending the $50 million at a rally from noon to 1 p.m. today in front of Wescoe Hall. A group of concerned students is planning to set up an open microphone for students to voice their opinions.
The committee chose the $50 million increase over four other proposals, which ranged in increasing tuition from $25 million to $60 million. The $50 million proposal was the second
largest of the five.
While the committee continues to work on proposals to raise more money from students, the University will continue to lobby for more money from the Kansas Legislature. Administrators will be going to Topeka to support Senate Bill 345, which would fund increases in faculty salaries.
The final tuition proposal draft is due to the Board of Regents by Friday, April 5. The Regents will decide by their April meeting if the proposal is adequate.

OPINION
TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 2002
EDITORIAL Candidates shouldn't go to students' doors
Living in the residence halls can be difficult enough, what with early morning fire alarms, faulty thermostats and a general lack of space and privacy. Therefore, solicitation in residence halls — and, in fact, in all student housing facilities — is rightfully banned by the Department of Student Housing.
Questions about the solicitation policy surfaced after incidents two weeks ago in Gertrude Sellars Pearson, Corbin and Lewis residence halls, where members of the Vision Coalition went door to door with campaign posters and buttons. KUnited members who live in residence halls also approached the rooms of people they knew to campaign.
These groups were not selling a product or service, but were selling their coalitions and their agenda.
Good solid reasons exist for this absolute stance. Students living off campus frequently encounter solicitors at their front doors. For those of you who may not have noticed, a dorm room is definitely not an apartment, even if it is a suite in the newly renovated Lewis or Templin halls.
On-campus housing generally has a relaxed atmosphere, and is a prime example of communal living. In most residence halls, the bathroom is in the middle of the hall, the lobby serves as a makeshift living room, and residents don't always lock their door.
In addition, if Senate coalitions are allowed to canvass door to door in student housing, then all 398 registered student organizations should be given that same privilege as well, which could create situations such as student religious groups evangelizing and spreading the word about their beliefs door to door in student housing.
for the majority of students living in residence or scholarship halls, their room is just one room, basically serving as their bedroom. And unless their hall has been renovated, their door has no peephole, and therefore they are unable to see just who is knocking on their door unless they open it.
Student groups and organizations should realize that there are better ways to reach students and publicize their activities than knocking on dorm room doors.

KUnited? More like greeks united
I just got a $20 bill for an overdue library book. So here's my question: how can KU be short of funding when it charges $20 for an overdue library book or $20 for parking at the meter for an extra minute? Think about it.
I would just like to remind the sports staff at the Kansan that Drew Gooden is not the only basketball player at the University of Kansas.
before you send nasty letters to the Kansan with claims that you can DO' many things with a degree in either English or history, I am well aware of that fact. The "useless" majors article says that degrees such as history form students into highly marketable critical thinkers and analytical writers. I agree. I'm capable of proofing your grant proposal for over-usage of passive-voice and leaping over grammatical errors in a single bound. But while that's helpful and practical, it's still not why I chose my degrees.

Don't be the censor. Jesus man, it's not cool of you at all.
Please don't censor anything. Censorship sucks. Down with

Chris Wristen, you rock. I'm glad that someone else realizes this school isn't just about men's basketball. Oh by the way, start supporting women's soccer, everybody
I think the reason that most people have stopped complaining about the sex column is most people have given up on the Kansan having any journalistic integrity already.
Man, did anybody see those guys sitting in front of SAE on the couch drinking 40s? Damn, I wish I was one of those guys. Wait, no, no I don't.

PERSPECTIVE
Liking your major is more important than preparing to earn a big paycheck
I have it tacked to my bulletin board. No, its not a picture of a devoted boyfriend, or an inspirational saying that I live my life by (though "live well, laugh often, love much" does make several appearances in my room). It's an article from our much beloved Kansan from last semester.
And no, its nota Meghan Bainum sex column (yikes). It is an article entitled "Useless majors not so useless, say professors" (Sept. 26, 2001). This article looks at how "one man's trash is another man's treasure" in regard to choosing your major.
COMMENTARY
COMMENTARY
Ambriel Renn-Scanlan
opinionl.eansan.com
The article attempts to answer why people would choose majors that on the surface seem useless. I understood the questions the article raised because I deal with them on a regular basis.
I'm used to the stares and looks of pity and confusion. After answering the question — "So, what's your major?" — I often endure subtle platitudes of sympathy and amusement. "But what will you DO with your English degree?" When, with a smile, I inform the questioning individual that I am also a history major, this only adds to the confusion. "But what will you DO with a history degree?"
I'll let you in on a little secret. Put down the crossword, stop listening to your professor and poke the person sleeping next to you in the Budig Hall auditorium because this is impor-
chat with the folks at the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center. Finally, after much stress and confusion, I came to the realization that choosing my major did not have to mark me in a category or permanently set my life in one, unalterable direction. Essentially, my choice would not have to define me.
So here's the real answer: I'm a history and English major because it's fun, interesting, exciting, and I love it. I didn't want to spend four years taking classes about engineering because that would mean a for-sure job, and I didn't want to spend months finding out what business administration actually means.

Students should fight for a living wage to help Americans climb out of poverty
We have all been hearing a lot in the news lately about how the American economy has taken a turn for the worse. A decade of prosperity has come to an end, analysts keep saying. The 1990s have gained legendary status in terms of the economy. But were the last 10 years really as rosy as they are being remembered? Perhaps not.
PERSPECTIVE
If you look closely at the data, it is easy to see that the years of economic growth America enjoyed in the 1990s did not benefit all people. In fact, they overwhelmingly benefited the rich and left the poor behind.
The bottom two-fifths of our society has lost income in real terms during the past few decades, while the top 5 percent of income earners have enjoyed a veritable windfall. The buying power of the U.S. minimum wage is now 30 percent below its peak in 1968, and the share of wealth of the poorest 20 percent has declined since the early 1970s.

GUEST COMMENTARY
The image does not contain any text.
Additionally, the 1999 Kansas Standard of Need and Self-Sufficiency Study revealed that in Douglas County, families with one or more children face such steep costs for housing, food, transportation, health care and childcare that all too often, current wages are inadequate for family self-sufficiency.
A recent report on economic trends by KU's Policy Research Institute shows that the average wage per job in Douglas County is less than the average for Kansas. Additionally, it shows that these low wages cannot be solely blamed on the presence of abundant student labor because other Midwest college towns have higher average wages than Lawrence.
The living wage is an important issue for many reasons. First, it is unfair to local small businesses and workers that the city subsidizes some big businesses with tax abatements without requiring them to pay their workers enough to keep them out of poverty. Our tax dollars should not be subsidizing poverty.
An effort to address one aspect of this disturbing trend has been taken up in Lawrence. The Kaw Valley Living Wage Alliance formed more than a year ago to advocate an ordinance in the city of Lawrence requiring businesses that receive tax breaks to pay their workers a living wage.
1
What is a living wage? Simply put, it is a wage that keeps a worker out of poverty. The alliance has defined a living wage as 130 percent of the federal poverty line for a family of three, which works out to $9.14 per hour plus health benefits. Though that may seem like a high wage for a student, for a worker trying to support her or his family, it is very modest.
Evidence also shows that a living wage does not reduce employment or business investment. In fact, employers have stated that the living wage was often absorbed in increased efficiency, decreased worker turnover and reduced training and recruitment costs.
who then spend that money in the local economy. Also, a living wage may increase public resources in the future by reducing workers' dependence on social services and other benefits for the economically disadvantaged.
Having a living wage will benefit other Lawrence businesses by putting money in the pockets of traditionally low-wage workers,
The City of Lawrence has developed a taxabatement policy that offers a standard tax break of 50 percent over ten years to some large companies. A provision requiring that workers employed at those companies be paid a living wage was struck down in a November 2001 referendum.
More than 70 cities and counties across the country have established living wage ordinances. Students at universities from coast to coast have joined citywide living wage campaigns. At Harvard University, a college with a $6 billion endowment, students pitched 76 tents on campus to protest the university's refusal to pay a living wage to more than 1,000 workers.
It is time for University of Kansas students to start addressing this important issue in our community. To get involved in this local movement for economic justice, call the living wage alliance at 979-7472 or visit www.kawliving-wage.org.

The committee discussed topics including how to improve the network, the billing for bandwidth and the communication between administrators and students. No final decisions were made. The participants will continue to meet as an informal committee.
Autumn Ayers, Wichita senior, submitted to the committee the idea of having more input on the rates of Internet access.
"If you had student input from different residence halls about the rates that would help," she said.
Students also said the different halls should be represented on the committee.
"If nothingelse it would keep us informed of what's going on," said Aaron Weigel, Brookville sophomore.
Weigel said if student members of the committee relayed information to the residents where they lived it would be more effective than hearing it from the ResNet leaders.
This meeting was a follow-up to a meeting held last month by John Louis, director of Networking and Telecommunication Services, to calm tension resulting from an NTS service change.
Last November, the University decided to start limiting the use of certain applications that students use to download movies and music, Louis said.
Movie files and music files are much larger than text files such as e-mail messages and Web pages. As they travel down the University computer network, they take up much more

Bandwidth is the amount of capacity a network has to transmit files. Louis said there was not enough bandwidth to allow students to download at the rate they were downloading. When all available bandwidth is being used, all activity on the network is slowed down.
bandwidth.
The University made the decision to stop the download programs, so that the network would move more quickly for students using it for academic purposes.
Not enough money was available to buy enough bandwidth to keep up with student demand.
Bill Klein, assistant director of NTS, and Anna Hines, associate director of NTS, also attended for the administration. They addressed a proposal by Jacob Bateson, Linwood sophomore
Bateson said an application called Gnutella could help solve the bandwidth problems at the University of Kansas.
"I want ResNet to support the use of this application," Bateson said. "This would help the University save bandwidth."
Bateson said Gnutella doesn't run on a central server, but it scanned the IP's, or computer
"This way you can get a song or movie from another person, and not have to use up Internet bandwidth," he said.
addresses, of people on a network to get the file from that person.
Klein said programs similar to Gnutella had been around for years, and they wouldn't necessarily solve anything.
"It's just a new feature of Morpheus," he said.
Klein also said ResNet would have to talk to Vice Chancellor for Information Services Marju Goodyear before approving the program.
"It's still using music and movies that are copyrighted," Klein said. "This is a legal issue as well."
Hines asked the students what they thought about the idea of usage-based charging.
Hines said that in this system, users would be charged depending on how much bandwidth they used.
The students said they supported this idea.
"I admit to being one of the people who uses a lot of bandwidth, and I think it's fair to charge people more who use more," said Henry Epp, Buhler sophomore.
In an effort to alleviate some of the congestion on the Internet, ResNet purchased more bandwidth in the past two weeks.
"We're paying a premium for this bandwidth," Klein said. "We bought it to get through this busy time of the semester."
Students said they were glad ResNet wanted their input.
"I appreciate the fact that you want to hear our ideas," Ayers said.

"I think it is inappropriate and could be damaging," Fonseca said. "It misconstrues what sex should really be."
CYBERSEX
Dailey said even with the recent popularity, especially among men, he didn't think cybersex would replace the real thing.
"I think any obsessive behavior that functions to keep people out of normal, healthy social interactions is trouble," he said. "This kind of behavior isn't going to develop just by having a computer."
Whether it is masturbating to magazines or images on the 'Net, there will always be a strong need for people to have person-to-person interactions," Dailey said. "It will be those people with a lack of personal skills who will be absorbed in it because cybersex won't influence the human desire to be in touch with one another."
Dailey said he didn't think obsessive cybersex behavior would develop by having a computer on the desk.

Al-Qaida hideouts stormed
The Associated Press
GARDEZ, Afghanistan — Tanks and trucks carried 1,000 more U.S.-allied Afghan fighters to the remote mountains of eastern Afghanistan yesterday to reinforce American troops closing in on al-Qaida and Taliban holdouts.
In preparation for a final push, highflying U.S. B-1 bombers pounded remaining enemy positions on a ridgeline known to U.S. troops as "the whale" in the frigid Shah-e-Kot mountains. U.S. special forces were seen moving nearby as clouds of dark smoke rose from the impact of the bombs.
Aitghan commander Mohammed Ismail Khan estimated that three-fourths
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, speaking on the steps of the Pentagon, said he hoped allied forces would finish "mopping up" the area by week's end
As ground fighting subsided, hundreds of U.S. troops from the 10th Mountain Division and the 101st Airborne Division rotated back to Bagram air base north of Kabul.
of the enemy force, once said to number about 1,000 fighters, had been killed.
Chinook helicopters set down yesterday at the base, in the shadow of the towering Hindu Kush mountain range, disgorging muddy, weary soldiers from the front lines.
Rumsfeld said there were still more than 800 U.S. soldiers operating in the 60-square-mile Shah-e-Kot Vallev
"The al-Qaida and Taliban extremists seem to be in much smaller pockets now — not the larger groups that we saw the first few days," said Maj. Bryan Hilferty, a spokesman for the 10th Mountain Division. "We will continue to work our way through the area until
we are satisfied we have taken out all of the al-Oidaa terrorists."
Hilferty refused to say whether U.S. special forces had entered any more of the mountain caves used by Taliban and al-Qaida fighters. Khan, the Afghan commander, said none of the major caves where enemy fighters were believed hiding had been breached yesterday.
"Today I got close enough to see two tents of the enemy, and I could see bloodied shoes and a jacket," Khan said. "The enemy were dead."
The apparent winding down of the U.S. offensive, code-named Operation Anaconda, coincided with ceremonies six months after the Sept. 11 terror attacks that triggered America's war on terrorism. U.S. soldiers returning from battle said they were proud to have taken part.
Anti-rebel candidates elected
Associated Press Writer
BOGOTA, Colombia — Results emerging yesterday from congressional elections underscored the influence of a front-running presidential candidate who promised to crack down on leftist guerrillas.
Dozens of candidates endorsed by Alvaro Uribe — the independent, anti-rebel candidate leading polls ahead of May's presidential election — were elected to the congress on Sunday.
Voting took place amid fears of rebel attacks following the collapse of peace talks and a growing bitterness against the Revolutionary Armed Force of Colombia.
The Uribe allies are believed to hold more than a quarter of the seats in the 102-member Senate and some in the 166-member House of Representatives.
"Uribe is the most important political phenomenon in years in Colombia. His support was critical for the candidates he backed," said Rafael Pardo, a former defense minister elected Sunday to the senate after aligning himself with Uribe.
The final makeup of the legislatures has not been announced.
Sunday's vote results could give Uribe a power base and answer critics' claims that he wouldn't have enough support to govern.
Further reflecting anger at the rebels
a right-wing paramilitary group waging a brutal counterinsurgency against suspected rebel sympathizers yesterday said it had made major gains in the vote.
A top commander of the United Self- Defense Forces of Colombia, Salvatore Mancuso, claimed his group had surpassed its goal of placing candidates in 35 percent of the congress.
The government called the election a triumph of democracy over terrorism practiced by the guerrillas and the AUC. The rebels had urged Colombians not to vote, and have been waging a bombing campaign against the civilian infrastructure.
Chaos plagues Zimbabwe elections
The Associated Press
HARA, Zimbabwe — Zimbabwe's presidential elections resumed for an unscheduled third day yesterday, with polling stations opening five hours late and the opposition accusing the government of frustrating its supporters. Opposition officials said two senior leaders had been arrested.
President Robert Mugabe is facing the toughest challenge ever to his 22year grip on power from Morgan Tsangirai, a former trade union leader and head of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change.
After being chased away from polling stations by police Sunday night, thousands of voters returned yesterday morning because the country's second
nghest court ordered the government to extend voting countrywide for a third day. But the polling stations did not open until noon, after many voters had given up and gone home or to work.
Justice Minister Patrick Chinamasa said on state television yesterday morning that the government would extend voting only in Harare and a nearby township, both opposition strongholds. He said many polling stations in the rest of the country had already been dismantled.
Tsvangirai accused Mugabe and his ruling party of attempting to steal the election by driving opposition observers away from 43 percent of rural polling stations and some counting centers, and by discouraging people in urban areas from voting.
"If those thousands of people are not allowed to vote, this is a stillborn election," he said yesterday.
In Brussels, European Union foreign ministers said they received reports yesterday of voting irregularities in Zimbabwe. Last month the EU imposed economic and diplomatic sanctions after Zimbabwe's refusal to let its observers freely monitor the elections.
The opposition party's secretary-general and third-ranking official, Welshman Ncube, was arrested yesterday in the southwestern town of Plumtree, while his deputy, Gift Chimanikire, was detained in Harare, said David Coltart, an opposition legislator. Police gave no reason for the arrests, but Ncube had been charged with treason in a previous case.
Extremist leader killed by police
The Associated Press
KARACHI, Pakistan — A Pakistani militant wanted for the murders of 38 people, including a former foreign minister, was killed yesterday in a gun battle with police, authorities said.
The shootout that killed Shakeel Anwar was part of a wave of violence involving rival Muslim groups. The clashes yesterday killed six other people — a policeman and five Shiites Muslims.
Anwar, leader of the outlawed Sunni extremist group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, was killed in an eastern Punjab province after he fired on a police patrol, officials said.
pole parrot, smiled. Anwar was wanted in the killings of scores of Shiites, a director of an Iranian cultural center in Multan, and former Foreign Minister Mohammed Siddque Kaniju, who was shot dead along with another former legislator during an election campaign in Punjab. He was also suspected in an attack on a Christian church in Behawalpur, in which 15 worshippers and a Muslim guard were slain.
worshipful friends. Killings by rival religious groups have increased since President Pervez Musharraf launched a crackdown against Islamic militants in January. Yesterday, gunmen barged into a house in Karachi and killed two people belonging to an outlaw Shiite organization, Tehrik-e-Jafria, police said. A few hours later, gunmen killed three brothers thought to be members of Tehrik-e-Jafria in northern Karachi, police said. Later, a Karachi policeman was killed when he tried to stop a car during a security check prompted by the five other killings.
Rebel leader remains silent
The Associated Press
FREETOWN, Sierra Leone — Under rigid security, Sierra Leone's feared rebel leader made a court appearance yesterday in the killing of 19 people who were demonstrating in front of his house.
Foday Sankoh was led into the courtroom in handcuffs for the hearing. He did not address the court.The case was adjourned until March 18.
Police cordoned off the building and filled the courtroom as Sankoh appeared with 49 rebel followers arrested shortly after the May 8. 2000 killings.
Thousands of demonstrators marched that day to Sankoh's house to protest the resumption of fighting, and his supporters opened fire with machine guns and rocket propelled grenades, killing 19 people.
Sankoh, who founded Sierra Leone's Revolutionary United Front, was held until he was charged last week with the 49 others with murder and conspiracy to murder.
Sierra Leone has been devastated by the war, which began in 1991 when Sankoh launched a campaign to overthrow the government and gain control of the country's diamond mines.

KU club attracts rock climbers
By C.J. Jackson Special to the Kansan

Not every athlete at the University of Kansas competes against someone else.
KIMBERLY THOMPSON/KANSAN
Jake Wolf, Olathe junior and vice president for the KU Rock Climbing Club, climbs the tall rock climbing wall in Robinson Center. "Some of us are really into it, but we consider ourselves a beginner club," he said.
For members of the KU Rock Climbing Club the greatest opponent they face is often the same person they see in the mirror, said Jake Wolf, Olathe junior and the vice president of the club.
The club has been around for a little more than seven years, Wolf said. They meet at 207 Robinson on Sunday nights from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m., Monday nights from 9:30 p.m. to midnight, and Thursday nights from 8:30 p.m. to midnight. It is a coed club that is open to students of all skill levels.
"We cater to everybody." Wolf said. "Some of us are really into it, but we consider ourselves a beginner club."
The club's all-inclusive policy has led to a diverse membership. Chris Dryoff, Wilmington, Del., sophomore, and the club's president, said the group had 68 members, about half of which are women.
"Of that 68, maybe 20 to 30 will show up regularly, the others just maybe once or twice a month." Dryoff said.
Wolf said members were not judged on how often they showed up to practice or why they decided to come.
"It's really informal." Wolf said. "We tend to push people to do their best, but we always say the best climber is the one having a good time, whatever that is for them."
Having a good time for some of the group's members can mean a great deal of time spent
traveling, however. Dryoff has put more than 22,000 miles on his car in the past eight months.
He said that being in the club and with all the travel that they do it was best to focus on finishing homework during the week instead of waiting for the weekend.
Wolf had a different view.
"I just don't really care about school." Wolf said. "It's about having fun. It's an addiction, a love for climbing and for the outdoors."
The love for climbing has driven the some
members of the club to some tremendous heights. Besides going all over the country to climb, group members have been known to climb on school buildings to get people's attention.
"Fraser, Wescoe — we've pretty much climbed them all," Wolf said with a grin. "Technically we shouldn't be doing that."

TABB
CONTINUED FROM 10A
Jayhawks' second game of the Kansas Holiday Inn Invitational. She did not play in Kansas' two games on Sunday against Portland State and Indiana State.
The Jayhawks won both games on Sunday, capping off an undefeated weekend and winning their own tournament for the second straight season.
Tabb wasn't the only Jayhawk who was effective offensively last weekend. The team was able to make some
changes at the plate that pleased Bunge.
"I thought they finally made some adjustments today and kept their hands back and stayed back a little bit longer and that allowed us to be able to drive the ball on the ground or line drives," Bunge said.
Kansas hopes to continue its success at the plate this Thursday in the Capital City Classic in Sacramento, Calif.

Today's Birthday (March 12).
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 6.
Before you head out on a new adventure — which could happen pretty soon — relax. Spend quiettime in contemplation. Review your objectives. Go over your supply lists. Let a storm blow over.
How did you ever get to be scute, so brilliant, so powerful? Others may have seen you as nice, but now they're realizing you're also influential. They may try to seek your favor, but don't be fooled. Only the genuine need apply. You can tell the difference.
HOROSCOPES
Taurus (April 20-May 20), Today is an 8.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6.
You're a busy person, but you can usually make time for a friend. That would be an excellent idea now. Lunch, dinner, a little time to talk — definitely worth fitting into your schedule.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7.
You'll have to prove you know what you're talking about. No problem, right? You'll be richly rewarded. The one who is asking all the tough questions really wants you to succeed.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 7.
Cancer 22-09-22 Today is 12:43
Is there a class you've been meaning to take? Philosophy, religion or a foreign language would be best. If you sign up for it now, you'll encounter a few amazing revelations, with a very positive outcome.
Have you stashed something away for the winter?
Saved a few nickels and dimes? You'll be into that sort of thing for the next few days, so make the most of your time. Consult somebody who knows how.
Virgo (Aug.23-Sept.22), Today is a 7.
If you're willing to listen, you'll do well. If you think you already have the answer, you're probably wrong. Ask a person who has a different perspective.
Libra(Sept. 23-0ct 22).Today is a 6.
Things won't go quite according to plan, so don't make a lot of extra promises. You'll be hard pressed to keep the ones you've already made.
Imagination is one of your most abundant resources. With that, and hope, you can go a long way. Having somebody who believes in you helps, and you have
Scornio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is an 8.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 6.
No reason to move quickly, although change may be required. Take everybody's input into consideration. Old solutions become new problems, but it's all part of the game. You'll eventually get it right.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is an 8.
Be willing to discard your old routine if find something that works better. You're good at modifying your habits to become more efficient. The new way's not perfect yet, but you're getting there.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 6.
The money is coming in, but you're so busy, you don't have time for much else. Schedule romance for Thursday, Friday, or better yet, Saturday morning.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is an 8.
You're the one who's setting the agenda. Your adversary is weakened and easily overpowered. Use style and grace to make your conquest or your escape.

Law University & Robert Wood Johnson
NEW YORK — Amazon.com will pull a listing that says a new J.D. Salinger book is due in November. No publication date has been set for *Hapworth* 16, 1924, a novella that appeared in *The New Yorker* in 1965 and was originally expected in book form five years ago.
Several Web sites had repeated the information posted on Amazon.com, even including links to the online retailer, raising hopes that a "new" Salinger work would be coming for the first time in 40 years. But both Salinger's agent, Phyllis Westberg, and his publisher, Orchises Press, told The Associated Press that Amazon.com was wrong.
"There's enough uncertainty about when it's going to be published that we're going to remove the date," Amazon.com
spokesman Bill Curry said yester-
day.
Curry said the source of the November date for Hapworth was uncertain, but that it likely came from a distributor's catalog. He declined to say how many orders had been placed for Hapworth. The Web site states that all backorders will be honored.
The unpredictable fate of Hapworth has only added to the unpredictable image of Salinger, the author of Catcher in the Rye.
Salinger's famous Glass family saga, a purported letter from camp written by precocious, 7-year-old Seymour Glass. Anticipation was so high that New York Times critic Michiko Kakutani didn't wait for a review copy, but tracked down the old New Yorker text and panned it as a "sour, implausible, and, sad to say, completely charmless story."
The novella is an episode from
For reasons unclear, Hapworth didn't appear. Salinger, of course, wasn't talking. And Orchises was only slightly more accessible, saying that publication was still planned, but not giving a date.
Even before removing the November date, Amazon.com had cautioned Salinger fans.
"Salinger has always refused to take the conventional route, and it looks like he's running true to form with the publication of this book," the Web site stated.

Big 12 move means loss of tradition, profit for Missouri
Dallas. Of all the cities to pick for the new location of the Big 12 Conference tournament next year, it happens to be Dallas.
This city should be renamed "Over Excessive."
Too many glass buildings and big hats, too much big hair and enough fake nails to build a small city.
Maybe I'm being harsh, but I am qualified to bash on Dallas. I have been there several times and gained an opinion about it. And to put it bluntly, I don't enjoy going there.
I'm not sure some of the other Big 12 teams will enjoy traveling farther next year, either.
Dallas is just too large of a city and too impersonal to establish a tradition like Kansas City, Mo. has developed. The big wigs of the Big 12 should know by now not to mess with tradition.
For the first time since 1946, Kansas City will not be the host of the Big 12 Conference tournament.
Dallas will generate extra revenue and get a boost, while Kansas City gets kicked in the groin by the Big 12.
Kansas City has made quite the profit on the Big 12 Conference tournament. Even parking this year was raised from $6 to $15. And it was the city that made those changes, not Kemper Arena or the Big 12.
Restaurants, hotels and other small businesses are all going to suffer for at least a weekend in Kansas City next year. Every team seems to bring with it its most loyal of fans who don't have problems dropping a few hundred dollars each day for the weekend of basketball.
Why was the move made? I don't think heads of the Big 12 even know.
It appears that the move was made purely for the purpose of moving. I think a change of scenery was all that they were after. However, geography obviously played a large part in this move. The Texas teams are most likely pleased, along with loyal Oklahoma fans — but what about the teams in the North?
Iowa State, Nebraska, Colorado and, of course, both of the Kansas schools will have a longer jaunt to get to the Big Dance.
Obviously, there is no location that would make every team happy but moving the tournament all the way to Dallas was a bit extreme.
The Dallas Morning News Web site conducted a poll asking fans where the best location for the Big 12 Conference tournament would be, and close to 80 percent stuck by Kansas City as the best host city.
city. Too bad the heads of the Big 12 didn't take notice.
Why not put Oklahoma City in the drivers seat next? It has the most central location to every school in the Big 12.
Dallas will be the host for the 2003 and 2004 tournaments. In 2005 it will return to Kansas City, but is up in the air after that, as 2006 has not yet been determined.
Big 12 officials need to pick a permanent place for the tournament and make it last build upon the tradition that it has developed in Kansas City over the past 50 years and keep it that way.
They shouldn't move it just because they feel like it.
Eichten is a Topeka sophomore in journalism.
Kansas not looking past Holy Cross
Kansan sportswriter
By Doug Pacey
Every March when the brackets are released for the NCAA Tournament, sports analysts, talking heads and self-annointed "bracketologists" predict what teams are sleepers, which will choke and which will make the Final Four.
The chances of tournament favorites Duke, Maryland, Kansas and Cincinnati will be bandied about over mugs of coffee this week. The upset potential of 12-seeds Tulsa, Missouri, Utah and Creighton will be discussed more deeply than any philosophy topic you've heard debated in lecture. But there are four teams in the tournament that receive next to no recognition — the 16 seeds. In fact, the only attention these four teams ever garner has negative undertones.
A 16-seed has never beaten a No.1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Not once, not ever, never. It will happen eventually. Roy Williams has said, but when it does, he doesn't want any part of that fiasco.
No. 1 seed Kansas is 5-0 all-time against 16-seeds and will get a chance to extend that winning streak in the Midwest Region's first-round of the NCAA Tournament. The Jayhawks (29-3 overall, 18-1 Big 12 Conference) will play No. 16 seed Holy Cross (18-11) at 6:50 p.m. Thursday in St. Louis in the Edward Jones Dome. The game will be televised live on CBS, channels 5 and 13 on Sunflower Cablevision.
Despite the Crusaders' 16-seed, Williams and the Jayhawks aren't looking past their first-round foe.
"You have to take it one game at a time in the tournament," Drew Gooden said. "We just have to focus on Holy Cross now. We will be practicing on Holy Cross, that is our main focus now."
The Crusaders beat American University 58-54 Friday in the championship game of the Patriot League Tournament and earned an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Holy Cross has run a three-guard offense similar to Kansas' and is led by junior guard Tim Szatko, 13.7 point per game.
In the only meeting between the two teams, Holy Cross topped the Jayhawks 57-53 Dec. 20, 1949.
That loss is in the far, far past and has nothing to do with this Kansas team and neither do the tournament shortcomings of recent Jayhawk squads, Williams said.
"We're going to try and get them to focus one day at a time," he said, "and not worry about what happens in the past because they had nothing to do with that or what happens in the future."
Notes:
"He got to Florida State at a very difficult time," Williams said. "I think the program has a much stronger, more solid base than it was when he got there."
Steve Robinson, a former Kansas assistant under Williams, resigned yesterday as Florida State's basketball coach. Robinson was 64-86 in five seasons in Tallahassee, Fla., and hadn't had a winning season in four years.

Kansas coach Roy Williams looks on during Saturday's victory against Texas Tech. Williams, whose Jayhawks will play No. 16 seed Holy Cross Thursday at 6:50 p.m., said that a 16-seed will eventually beat a No. 1 seed, although it hasn't yet happened.

After weekend losses. 'Hawks ready for Bears
Bv Rvan Wood
Following the Kansas baseball team's two heartbreaking losses to Texas A&M Sunday, coach Bobby Randall called the breakdown a team effort.
Kansan sportswriter
"That was nobody's fault," he said. "Not one guy's fault."
Fortunately for the Jayhawks, they won't have time to dwell on the painful come-from-behind defeats.
Kansas (10-2 overall, 1-2 Big 12 Conference play) travels to Springfield, Mo., for a game against Southwest Missouri State (5-2) today at 2:30 p.m.
Sunday's doubleheader was plauged with ninth-inning difficulties. The Jayhawks gave up a combined eight runs — six of them unearned — while committing four errors. Randall said the late-inning situations can take a toll on an inexperienced player.
A
"That's a lot of pressure," he said. "It's like shooting those big free throws. Sometimes you want to do it so badly that it works against you. That's something that comes with experience. We're a little short on experience."
The starting pitching from three seniors remains consistently strong. Jeff Davis, Jake Wright and Dan Olson have a combined 8-0 record and a 2.25 ERA. Davis (3-0, 0.78 ERA) takes the hill today, facing off against Southwest Missouri State pitcher Brad Ziegler (1-1, 2.92)
The game provides a chance for the Jayhawks to get back on track before Big 12 play resumes. Kansas leaves Thursday for Waco, Texas, and start a three-game series with Baylor on Friday. Randall said the need to keep the focus on the next game was crucial.
Southwest Missouri recently swept Iowa in a three game set in Springfield last weekend. Bear shortstop Shaun Marcum went 8-for-13 with five runs and three RBI in the series.
focus on the next game was over.
"The they should hold their head up," Randall said. "We've got nothing to be ashamed of. We can play better than that, and we will."
Notes:
CHRISTINA NEFF/KANSAN
Kansas trails the all-time series 17-15. The two teams split the 2001 season series, with Jeff Davis recording the win against the Bears on March 21 of last year.

The Jayhawks' 10-game winning streak to start the season, which was snapped on Sunday, ruined second among longest winning streaks in school history.
"It's icing on the cake," Davis said of the streak. "But at the same time, everyone knows what they've got to do to get better."

Senior overcomes early hitting woes

In Jerry Tabb's first trip to Lawrence, he saw his daughter go two-for-two from the plate against Princeton on Friday. He then watched her hit a three-run home run against Indiana State in the second game of the afternoon.

In fact, Leah Tabb, a senior catcher, said she can't remember a time when her dad has come to see her play, and she hasn't hit a home run. Jerry Tabb is from Houston and has seen his daughter play in Texas, but this was the first time he's seen her play at home.
And with her struggling from the plate early in the season, Jerry picked the right time to visit his daughter.
"Tabb is starting to swing the bat a lot better," Kansas coach Tracy Bunge said. "She's been struggling early this spring and today was a good day for her. She really looked like she was on the ball and hitting the ball a lot more solidly."

ISSUE 112 VOLUME 112
Task Force plans ahead anticipates Championship
By Sarah Hill Kansan staff writer
A committee at the University of Kansas prevents March from becoming Madness over the NCAA basketball tournament.
The Celebration Task Force is a campus-wide committee that plans celebrations for the men's basketball team during the NCAA tournament.
"After the 1988 win, there were 35,000 to 40,000 people between Strong and Wescoe," Weinberg said. "It became clear that the University needed a serious plan for an event that size."
Weinberg said the committee started meeting in February and formulated plans in the event the basketball team wins the national championship title.
Fans who were upset when the team exited the tournament early in previous years caused significant damage to trees, buildings and cars on the campus in previous years. Weinberg said.
"That shows why it's important to have some focus to the celebration," he said.
The task force has a number of options for a celebration, which include welcoming the players home and having a parade in downtown Lawrence.

Ann Eversole, associate dean of students and committee member, said the committee included representatives from the Athletic Department, the Kansas Union, the provost's and chancellor's offices, the parking department, facility operations, public safety, University Relations, Watkins Health Center and students.
"Any entity that would be involved meets to develop and coordinate a University response." she said.
Todd Cohen, assistant director of University Relations and committee member, said the committee was mainly concerned with the safety of a possible crowd of 60,000 fans.
"You have a lot of people in a small place where emotions are running high," he said. "We're encouraging students to celebrate, but celebrate safely."
The committee is in charge of planning an appropriate celebration, Cohen said.
In 1988 when the Jayhawks went to the Final Four, Chancellor Gene Budig canceled school for the celebration. Cohen said the decision to cancel school would be up to the Chancellor and the provost, not the committee.
JILLIAN THORPE/KANSAN
Neither the chancellor nor the provost were available for comment
The Jayhawks start tournament play at 6:50 p.m., Thursday, in St. Louis against Holy Cross.
The Legislature isn't convinced that the University of Kansas needs more funding because "the whole KU family hasn't told its story well enough," Provost David Shulenburger told about 40 students who visited his office after a protest at Wescoe Beach.

Brian Baltzell, Prairie Village senior, voices his opinion that the proposed tuition increases would make attending the University of Kansas nearly impossible for some people. About 200 students expressed their concerns about higher tuition at an open-microphone session yesterday at Wescoe Beach.
Students join forces protest tuition increase
By Sarah Hill and Rachel Keeese
Kansas staff writers
A crowd of more than 200 students gathered yesterday afternoon in front of Wescoe Hall to voice their concerns about tuition increases, standing before a sign that read, "Is the Jayhawk only for the wealthy?"
The students discussed issues related to tuition, such as financial aid, working several jobs to pay for school, siblings who would not be able to afford more tuition and the lack of more state funding. The crowd eventually moved to the chancellor's and the provost's offices.
Megan Johnson, Troy freshman, stated her opposition to the proposed increase.
"So, the state of Kansas is in a budget crisis? The students of KU are in a budget crisis," she said. "We can't pay for more tuition."
The University wants to raise tuition in response to a projected $680 million Kansas state budget shortfall for fiscal year 2003.
The ad hoc committee on University funding, a group of students, faculty and administration, voted yesterday on a proposal for a $50 million tuition increase. The committee will send the proposal to the chancellor, who will present the University's final plan on tuition increases to the Board of Regents in April.
Dallas Rakestraw, student member
UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATION
of the committee, voted for the $50 million tuition increase proposal at Monday's committee meeting. He was the only one of the three students on the committee who voted for the increase.
When Rakesstraw stood up at yesterday's rally to speak about the committee's decision, students yelled questions to him and asked why he was not willing to listen to their concerns.
Rakestraw said the committee would not have voted for any proposal that would financially exclude any students from the University.
Jenny Davidson, Russell freshman, said she hoped that the administration and the state would hear what students had to say.
"I think it's interesting and exciting that students want to get up and talk about how tuition will affect them," she said.
David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, attended the rally.

New treatment may help solve cellulite woes

For those people wanting an easy way to reduce cellulite, a new herbal cream could be the answer.

A study revealed March I that a new treatment decreased thigh circumference, which reduced cellulite. Ann Chapman, nutritionist at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that cellulite was body fat that took on a rippled appearance because it was located so close to the sur-
Mitchel Goldman, associate clinical professor of dermatology at the University of California, developed the treatment that involves slathering on a gel, then a cream — both herbal formulations — before slipping into knee-length pants that generate heat to improve absorption.
The cream contains herbs that stimulate blood flow and hormone balancing. The gel

is a blend of aloe vera, asparagus extract, ivy extract and rosemary oil. The pant's heating mechanism allows the cream to penetrate the dermis, which is the top layer of the skin.
The treatment was tested on women, randomly treating the right or the left thigh. For three weeks, the women applied the gel every night, then the cream, then put on the pants. Each night, they wore the garment for at least six hours.
At the end of the three weeks, Goldman measured the thigh circumference in the upper and lower thigh, finding that 80 percent of the women had smaller thighs.
Myra Strother, chief of staff at Watkins, said that most herbal wraps, such as this treatment, or pants worked in the same way.
"They sweat the fluid out of the area," Strother said. "You can lose inches, but as soon as you drink a glass of water and walk around it comes back."
She said that no solution applied topically had been shown to decrease cellulite, but this treatment was different.
"Applying the massage cream each night may help cellulite appearance," she said.

March Madness disease strikes campus
By Jessica Tims Kansan staff reporter
Rv.Jessica Tims
An illness is sweeping the nation and it has hit the University of Kansas. The sickness: March Madness, which is commonly found among fans of basketball teams chosen to participate in the NCAA tournament.
Symptoms of March Madness may include:
Sitting in silence with muscles tight and clenched.
sitting on the edge of your chair with your eyes fixed on a television.
- Sudden eruptions of screaming and yelling.
Jumping up and down, high-fiving
Erik Johnson, Bloomington, Minn., sophomore, said he and four of his fraternity brothers from Sigma Phi Epsilon suffered from March Madness.
friends and, in the worst cases, chest bumping.
Johnson said he contracted a rare form of March Madness in which his symptoms only occurred during KU games. Another symptom that accompanies the Jayhawker form of March Madness is a deep hatred for the Duke Blue Devils, he said.
"I skip class to watch games," he said.
"But it's only one month out of the year."
Ryan Grant, a first year law student from Derby, said he did not skip class to watch games, but found it hard concentrate while the Jayhawks were playing.
"A symptom is not being able to focus on anything except basketball," he said. "I couldn't think about anything. I just want to watch the game. It's like you lose yourself in it and you can't wait for game time."
The twelve hours of non-stop college hoops per day during March and the possibility of each game being a team's last is what makes the NCAA tournament most exciting. Grant said.

Grant also eats an Atomic Fireball before each game even though he doesn't like them.

A window was broken and tires were slashed on a KU student's 1995 Nissan between 3 a.m. and
1:45 p.m. Sunday in the parking lot of Oliver Hall, the KU Public Safety Office reported. The damage was estimated at $500.
A KU student's wallet and its contents were taken between 7 and 7:30 p.m. Sunday at the basketball court near Oliver Hall, the KU Public Safety Office reported. The items were valued at $154.
CORRECTIONS
Due to a copy-editing error, a story in yesterday's Kansan incorrectly stated tuition at the University of Kansas would go up $50 million during the next five years. In fact, this hike was only a recommendation from an ad-hoc committee. The committee's proposal will now go to Chancellor Bob Hemenway, who will then present a five-year plan to the Board of Regents.
Due to a reporting error, a story in yesterday's Kansan said the Big 12 Gay Conference would take place at the Holidome, 200 McDonald Drive. The conference will actually take place at the Kansas Union and Ecumenical Christian Ministries. A dance will take place as part of the conference at the Holidome.
Due to a reporting error, a sports column in Thursday's Kansan incorrectly stated the Kansas baseball team had no returning starting pitchers. In fact, returning pitchers started a total of 14 of 56 games last season.
CAMPUS
Political, social activism fair to be held at public library
The KU Greens will sponsor a Political and Social Activism Information Fair from 6:30 to 9 p.m. tomorrow at the Lawrence Library Auditorium, 707 Vermont.
Representatives from groups such as the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice and the February Sisters will have informational tables at the event to encourage more involvement in the community.
The event follows up yesterday's political information fair in the Kansas Union, which had representatives from campus political parties as well as the Kansas Reform Party and the Kansas Natural Law Party.
Charlotte Shapiro, representative for the Kansas Natural Law Party, said students were not as enthusiastic as she had hoped. She said she had only talked to two students during the event.
"This has not been an interest, something's missing," Shapiro said. "There needs to be a campaign to inspire interest, because the participation isn't here."
Amanda Harrison, representative for KU Greens and one of the event's organizers, said that although tomorrow's fair would focus more on the Lawrence community, students should consider attending. She said she hoped it would have a better turnout.
"It would be nice for KU people to go because really this is your community and KU is not the whole of Lawrence." Harrison, Lawrence junior, said.

Grocery store to build discount fuel station
By Lauren Beatty
Kansan staff writer
Dillons card carriers soon will have another place to buy gasoline at a discounted price.
The City Commission recently approved the building of a fuel center at Dillons Food Store, 3000 W. Sixth St.
People who have Dillons cards, which are used to purchase items at a discount, will also be able to use them at the new pumps. The cards can also be used at Kwik Shops, which are owned by Kroger, the same company that owns Dillons.
Patrons can save 2 cents per gallon on regular unleaded gas,4 cents per gallon on midgrade gas and 6 cents per gallon on premium gas.
Sarah Abang, West Africa junior, has a Dillons card. Abang said when the Dillons
fuel center was built, she would take advantage of the discount on gas the card provided.
"Two cents to a student — that's a lot," she said.
Heidi Pritchard, Lawrence resident, said she came to Dillons twice a week. She said she would use the gas pumps.
"I have the card and it knocks down the price a bit," she said.
Gasonline prices are again becoming an area of concern. AAA's Fuel Gage Report, released yesterday, showed that gasoline prices had risen 11.7 cents per gallon in the midwest since November.
Dennis Gaschler, spokesman for Dillons, said Dillons had 14 fuel centers in Kansas. The first one opened at a Dillons in Wichita in 2001. The Sixth Street location already has a bakery, bank, dry cleaner, floral shop, pharmacy, post office and restau-

ant.
Gaschler said Dillons conducted market studies to see which Dillons stores would benefit from a fuel center. He said the Lawrence store was chosen because it had available space in the parking lot. He said not every Dillons would get a fuel center.
Charlie Dorssom, Lawrence senior, said he regularly shoped at Hy-Vee, but would use the Dillons gas station if he was shopping there
"There's an abundance of gas stations on Sixth," he said. "It wouldn't sway me one way or the other."
Wiltfong said he was not worried about losing customers to Dillons.
Chris Wiltfong, store operations manager at Hy-Vee Food Store. 4000 W. Sixth St., said some Hy-Vee stores in Iowa and Kansas City had fuel pumps. He said he wasn't sure if any Lawrence Hy-Vee stores would get them, but that they had been requested.
No dates have been set for when construction will begin for the fuel center.
"They'll get new customers because of the convenience, but if they shop here, they'll continue to shop here," he said.

"There is a strong familial tendency towards developing it, so genes play a role in whether or not a woman will develop it," Chapman said.
She said that women were willing to spend a lot of money on breast implants, nose jobs, liposuction, and
cellulite creams because they wanted to have the bodies that models had.
Janelle Quinlan, Coppell, Texas, freshman, said that she was apprehensive about spending money to try a cellulite cream to reduce cellulite or to lose weight.
"It would probably be proved later on that it caused skin cancer or something else
terrible," Quinlan said. "I would rather just exercise than hope that a cream treatment is doing the work for me."

When no more speakers volunteered, students asked what to do next. The crowd threw out ideas, and the prevailing choice was to go to Strong Hall.
William Justice, Saline County junior and one of the students who spoke, said a group of about 30 students went to Chancellor Robert Hemenway's office, but Hemenway was not there.
"We left a sign on his chair and went to the provost's office," Justice said.
In the provost's office, the talk turned to the legislature as Provost David Shulenburger answered questions and listened to students' concerns.
Public safety officers arrived 10 minutes after the students went to the provost's office but left without incident.
Galen Turner, Lawrence senior, said the legislature had not seen enough evidence that students would be hurt by a tuition increase.
"If the administration is with us, we're more united as a campus body," Turner said.
Shulenburger said he thought legislators had not been convinced that the University needed more funding.
But William Justice said protests would be more powerful if University administrators invited students to protest before the Legislature.
"I think it's because the whole KU family hasn't told its story well enough, and that's something we need to resolve to do," Shulen-burger said. "I don't want to blame you guys. I'm not saying it's your job to go the Legislature."
"There's something about the administration saying, 'Hey, come help us, we need you.'" Justice said. "If we have the administration pulling us in, giving us a voice, that would be powerful."
Justice said the protest was motivational.
"It might convince a large number of people to keep fighting," he said. "As the decision date comes closer, I think we'll see more and more groups organizing protests."

MADNESS

"I heard once that Coach Dougherty would give them out to the team before the games to get them fired up and ready," he said, "so I started eating one too."
Stephen lardi, assistant professor of psychology, said he was unaware of any systematic research on the phenomenon of March Madness, but he was familiar with studies of male basketball fans after their favorite teams won or lost.
"There have been studies that suggest that in the male fan, the circulating level of testosterone decreases immediately after a loss and increases after a win," Ilardi said.
Hardi added that though similar studies had not yet been conducted with women, it appeared plausible to speculate that the circulating level of testosterone also rose in female fans.
Any rise in testosterone can lead to a subsequent surge in energy, assertiveness and socially dominant behavior, Ilardi said. He cautioned, however, that a correlation between a rambunctious fan's actions and elevated testosterone might represent something of a "chicken and egg" scenario. In other words, it is difficult to tell if testosterone rises because of a fan's actions during the game, or if such actions might occur because of high pre-existing levels of testosterone.
From an instructor's standpoint, Ilardi said winning and losing could have an effect on classroom dynamics.
"After a win, especially the night before, the energy level is higher and the mood level is higher," he said.

Kansas legislators deny tax increases that would cover revenue gap
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Two tax-raising ideas flunked test votes in the House yesterday, as some members said they were unlikely to support any tax increase to close the state's $679 million budget shortfall.
John Edmonds House Taxation Committee chairman
"I'm not particularly interested in increasing taxes in Kansas. They're too high already."
PRESIDENT
On Monday, the House voted 115-7 against raising $93 million in revenue by increasing the state income tax. Proposed increases in the estate tax and the property tax levy for schools proved just as unpopular yesterday.
The chamber is debating and voting on several tax proposals this week as leaders gauge support for possible ways to cover the expected gap between state revenue and required spending over the next 15 months.
Sales taxes are to be considered today, with tomorrow devoted to the taxes on cigarettes, beer and alcohol.
House Taxation Committee
But some Republicans oppose increasing taxes until legislators attack wasteful spending. Some Democrats, meanwhile, won't vote for higher taxes unless they know exactly how the new revenues will be spent.
Chairman John Edmonds said he did not expect the chamber to approve any tax increases this week.
"I'm not particularly interested in increasing taxes in Kansas," said Edmonds, R-Great Bend. "They're too high already."
House Minority Leader Jim Garner said of his fellow Democrats: "We have folks who are concerned about writing a blank

check without knowing where the money's going to be allocated."
Later yesterday, the House rejected by a 108-11 vote measure to raise $62.6 million in the upcoming fiscal year by increasing the state levy for public schools to 25 mills from 20 mills. The property tax on a $50,000 home would increase to $86 a year from $69.
The only tax proposal to win House approval over two days actually would add $1.4 million to the budget shortfall by giving about 6,900 older Kansans an income tax credit for the property taxes they pay. That bill cleared the House on a 75-47 vote yesterday and went to the Senate.
voting for a tax increase," said Rep. Andrew Howell, R-Fort Scott.
On a voice vote, the House did advance a bill repealing decades-old laws preventing some immigrants from inheriting or transferring property. But members voted 73-45 against a proposed amendment to raise estate taxes by $20 million.
Supporters said the burden would fall on nephews, nieces and non-relatives who inherit property. But Edmonds said people who accumulated wealth paid income or property taxes before they died.
"There should be no taxation without respiration," Edmonds said.
Edmonds said the state had options for dealing with its
He also said the state could dip into its treasury reserves, freeing up about $100 million by decreasing the amount Kansas law requires to be set aside to 5 percent of spending from 7.5 percent. He said "there's nothing magic" about a 7.5 percent balance.
Rep. Brenda Landwehr, R-Wichita, an Appropriations Committee member, said legislators should set priorities for state government and decide which programs it would live without.
She compared the state to a family in economic distress.
"Some things get done, and some things get delayed," Landwehr said.

My best friend's dad just died in a car accident last night, so it might be a good idea to call your parents and tell them you love them, because you never know when you might lose them.
Yes, to further clarify the difference between an air ball and not an air ball, an air ball doesn't hit anything. A brick hits the backboard and doesn't hit the rim. So to the person who corrected the other person, that person needs to be corrected too. By the way, hockey rules.
For those calling in to the Free for All, hockey is one of the most exciting and best sports ever, so leave your big toe alone, and watch some damn hockey.

This is to the person that grilled Doug Pacey in the Free for All today: when you can write as well as Doug and meet all of his deadlines, then you can complain. Until then try to appreciate one of the best sports writers the Kansan has seen in years. Seriously, we're No. 1 anyway.

I just saw in the Free for All the guy that proposed to his girlfriend, and it sparked some ideas. Me and my roommate, Steve, have lived together for what, is it it Steve, two months now. I think it's time I proposed to you, Steve. Please respond. Call me back. Please say yes. Bye.

Dave Grummon's perspective column today was the worst editorial column I have ever seen.
Why is it that anyone born after 1980 is considered Generation Y? Is it because somebody was too unoriginal to come up with another name other than the letter after X? Is it Y as in why continue to go on with this life when all I want to do is watch Friends every night? Is it Y as in why continue to reproduce when all we can come up with is Generation Y? Why is that?

PERSPECTIVE
Readers' representative answers your most frequent questions
In the past couple of months, I've attended numerous meetings of student groups. The meetings give me the chance to take notes about group activities, spread the word about my job and answer questions about the Kansan.
READERS' REPRESENTATIVE
Some questions come up more often than others. Some questions come up a lot. In this week's column, I'll try to answer the most common of them.
Q: How can we be listed in On Campus? How can we make sure our listing stays current?
PETER SMITH
A: I'm asked this more often than any other question. First, it's important to note that On Campus entries can be submitted two ways — by coming into the Kansan newsroom, 111 Stauffer-Flint Hall, and filling out a form, or by filling out a similar form online at http://www.kansan.com/services/calendar/newevent.asp.
A Kansan news clerk puts together the On Campus section every day from these forms. (Last semester, one of the two readers' reps did the job.) Your group's event is set for printing.
But errors creep into the listings. Why? They often stem from incorrect information on the forms. If you submit an event for On Campus, make sure you fill out the form correctly and completely. Specify how often your group meets. If your group's meeting time changes, come in and fill out a new form.
Clay McCuistion cmccuistion@kansan.com
My advice? If you want to be absolutely sure your group is listed and its information is accurate, fill out the form and see how the information is printed. If it's wrong, drop by the newsroom in person or give us a call.
That personal contact makes it more likely your listing will be accurate in the future.
I can't defend errors, obviously. One error is one error too many.
But we have to be realistic. The Kansan is entirely student-produced. Obviously students write the stories — but they also edit them and write headlines. Students from the Advanced Editing class learn their jobs as they go along — much as the reporters do. Just as students normally don't get a perfect score on their first test in a class, Kansan staffers sometimes err in the process of learning their crafts.
Q: Why hasn't my letter to the editor or guest column been printed?
Letters and guest columns come in frequently to opinion editors Kursten Phelps and Brooke Hesler. The two try to prepare the opinion page a couple of days in advance — which means that letters and other responses are pushed back a bit anyway.
Phelps or Hesler must also contact letterwriters to confirm their authorship, and they must make sure pictures are taken of guest columnists.
Once these steps are taken, the letter or column is ready to be printed — as are many other columns and letters in a limited space. While Phelps and Hesler could be more prompt at times, such printing delays should be expected — especially if letters flood in.
O: What happened to Gongfarmer?
"We may not run every letter if we get lots of letters in about the same topic," Phelps said.

PERSPECTIVE
Get off the couch for a healthy lifestyle
As you start to read my colum, stop for a moment and look at where you are.
So, what are you up to? Walking to class? Riding the bus? In front of the TV? Regardless, you should be getting more exercise because we as a nation are at war with fat more regularly than we are with that other guy in a turban.
COMMENTARY
It's the grease that drips off your pizza. It's the gut that beer leaves behind. It hides in all the foods you hold close to your heart, the chips that you fall asleep with as you watch Sports-center, the chocolates that your boyfriend gave you for Valentine's Day. It can also come in the form of sitting still.
But, according to the National Center for Disease Control, while Americans know what they need to do to keep unwanted pounds off, we are increasingly failing to follow its entire prescribed regimen.
Justin Henning opinion@kansan.com
Take for example an imaginary student who has been told by a Watkins Health Center doctor that he or she needs to lose 30 pounds or will be ineligible to ride the bus. The doctor has said to this person that they should try walking to class to attend in person rather than teleconfer-
Individuals want a quick fix without having to put in any sweat or effort.
Now, assuming the individual does so, let's say that as they walk, they eat a bag of chips, a cheeseburger and stop at the bookstore for a candy bar, thinking all the while that they can cheat by attaching those little electrodes you see advertised on TV to their abs and spasm the fat away. What they ate replaced any excess calories and then some.
encing from the residence halls like the person has been doing.
As a society, we are becoming more and more reliant on technology to handle the physical aspects of life. Rather than walk down the hall to see a friend, we send them an e-mail or call them on the phone. Instead of walking to class,
more people are riding the bus. And when this hard day of work is over, we relax by sitting down.
So, are you obese? You are if you weigh at least 30 percent more than what your doctor says you should. There is no excuse for this rise.
Granted, some people are fat and can't help it. But what is lacking in so many individuals today is any sort of effort to live a healthy lifestyle.
Part of this problem comes from the society's development of eating as recreation. My hat goes off to anyone who can say that they have never gone out to eat or opened a bag of chips as something to do.
Because none of us ever would ever want to be told that we have to lose weight to ride the bus.
We can do better than this as a University, especially if we don't have any sort of physical fitness requirement because of all the hills. So as the snow melts away and the trees start to trigger your allergies, dust off your bicycle, or buy a new pair or running shoes and resolve to get fit.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
CREDIT CARDS ON CAMPUS
Dear editor.
Audrey Snyder's opinion piece on banning credit cards on campus ("Students don't need the University to protect them from credit cards", March 5) fell short of the mark when determining why Student Senate has asked the provost to approve the ban. It was stated in the column that Senate's request to ban credit cards on campus was in
order to "protect students from debt." While this is one valid reason for kicking credit cards off campus, it is not the most important or only reason.
The request to ban credit cards was a response of individuals who were sick of the constant solicitation on campus. It is unnecessary to have credit card companies on campus. As Snyder says, "campus is not the only place where students can find a credit card application." Also, banning credit cards sends the message that our University is an institution of learning, not merely another avenue of opportunity to put money in the credit card companies' pockets.
While I do agree with Snyder that tackling the visual problem of credit card debt is not the only answer, I do believe that the ban is a good start. Trying to combat
credit card debt among students while still allowing solicitations on campus is counter-productive. I urge the provost to approve the ban of credit card companies on campus. At the very least, we won't have to put up with the annoying credit representatives pushing their wares.

Evolution debate moves to Ohio; board discusses science standards
The Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Hundreds of parents, teachers and students gathered Monday to hear scientists who support teaching evolution square off against backers of "intelligent design" as the state school board struggles to develop science standards.
Sandy Epling brought her 11-year-old son to the panel discussion so he could better understand her family's rejection of evolutionary theory. Epling believes in creationism and home-schools her son, Jacob.
The school board must decide by year's end what Ohio's 1.8 million public school students should learn about life. Teachers will not be required to follow the standards, but the state's new standardized test that 10th grade students must pass to graduate will be based on the guidelines.
The board said about 1,500 people attended the discussion, which it held in a downtown auditorium to accommodate the crowd.
“It's important for them to hear the truth as well as what we consider the lies,” she said. “It only makes the truth stronger.”
The state's current science guidelines have been criticized as vague, especially in the life
"Maybe it is compatible with biblical creationism, but it certainly is not that. The question is, should teachers be permitted to tell students the controversy over intelligent design?"
sciences section, which avoids the word evolution and recommends covering "change through time."
Jonathan Wells Discovery Institute fellow
A new draft includes evolution but not "intelligent design," the idea that life is too complex to have happened by chance and therefore must have been designed by a higher power.
Critics say intelligent design is a disguise for creationism, which courts have barred from public schools as a religious expression. Supporters argue that intelligent design doesn't specify the designer, and that the theory isn't about religion.
"Maybe it's compatible with biblical creationism, but it certainly is not that," said panel member Jonathan Wells, a fellow from the Discovery Institute in Seattle. "The question is, should teachers be permitted to tell students the controversy over intelligent design?"
Lawrence Krauss of Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland and Kenneth Miller of Brown University told the board there is no scientific controversy, that intelligent design is not science and has not undergone rigorous critique by respected scientific journals.
"There is an agenda here, and it's not science," Krauss said. "Why discuss something that's opposed to the scientific method in a science class?"
Several board members have pushed for other views to be taught alongside evolution, and the board's standards committee appears to favor allowing alternative ideas into classrooms.
"That's scary," said Pam Keiper, treasurer of Ohio Citizens for Science, a group of parents, teachers and students who support the teaching of evolution. "I hope the board members understand from the debate that intelligent design is not science and that it should not be in a science class."
'Springer' guest on trial for murder of ex-wife
SARASOTA, Fla. — A man went on trial yesterday for allegedly murdering his ex-wife hours after they and another woman appeared on a ferry Springer Show episode about secret mistresses.
The Associated Press
Ralf Panitz beat and stomped Nancy Campbell-Panitz, leaving her so disfigured that a sheriff's deputy who recently had met her could not identify her, prosecutor Charlie Roberts said in his opening statement.
But defense attorney Geoffrey Fieger told the jury that Panitz was drunk and had passed out the
The show aired July 24, 2000 — the same day authorities say Campbell-Panitz was killed in her Sarasota home. Earlier that day, a judge had ordered Ralf Panitz to get out of the house after his ex-wife claimed she feared him.
The couple had been divorced
since 1999 but continued living together off and on, even after Ralf Panitz secretly married Eleanor in March 2000. According to court records, Eleanor Panitz thought if Nancy Campbell-Panitz was publicly confronted with their marriage, she would leave them alone.
day of the crime, and suggested that Panitz's nephew was the more likely assault.
Ralf and Eleanor Panitz and his grown nephew, Markus Panitz, watched the segment from a neighborhood bar and drank heavily, according to court records. Detectives contend the group then left the bar for Nancy Campbell-Panitz's house, where Ralf Panitz beat and stomped her to death. Ralf Panitz was the only
In an episode taped in May 2000, Panitz, 42, and Campbell-Panitz, 52, appeared along with Panitz's new wife, Eleanor. The segment was titled "Secret Mistresses Confronted" and featured their contentious love triangle.
Fieger said Panitz was so drunk from downing beer and rum-and-cokes that he couldn't even stand at the bar, much less commit murder.
one charged.
Ralf Panitz could get life in prison if convicted.
"He is so snockered, his head is laying on the bar, he's snoring loudly." Fieger said.

Fieger, who plans to call Springer as a witness, is a Michigan lawyer known for defending suicide doctor Jack Kevorkian. He also sued the Jenny Jones Show over the shooting death of a male guest who confided a crush on another man.

Israel invades Palestinian city, camps
The Associated Press
RAMALLAH, West Bank — Israeli tanks and troops thrust into Palestinian refugee camps and took command of the streets in this key West Bank city yesterday, killing 31 Palestinians in one of Israel's largest military operations ever in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Seven Israelis were killed, including six in an ambush just inside the border with Lebanon. The attackers disguised as Israeli soldiers were reportedly Palestinians who slipped across Israel's previously quiet northern frontier
— raising the prospect of a new front in the current Mideast conflict.
Israel began stepping up its military operations against Palestinian militants two weeks ago after a series of deadly attacks on Israeli civilians. Since then, large numbers of tanks and troops have charged into six Palestinian towns and refugee camps.
Israeli security sources said yesterday that most combat soldiers in Israel's standing army and some reserve troops were deployed in the West Bank and Gaza Strip — the most expansive operation since Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon. Israel's Channel I television said 20,000 Israeli troops were involved.
Troops ready for 'final push' to eliminate Taliban regime

GARDEZ, Afghanistan — Advancing U.S. and coalition forces fought with small groups of al-Qaida and Taliban holdouts yesterday as allied troops worked their way through the warren of mountain caves in eastern Afghanistan — their progress slowed by mines and booby traps.
soby trips.
Throughout the day, high-flying U.S. B-1 bombers pounded al-Qaida and Taliban positions on a ridgeline that U.S. officers dubbed "the whale." The dull thud of distant detonations could be heard yesterday night in Gardez, about 20 miles northeast of the front line.
As U.S. bombers flew overhead, Afghan fighters maneuvered tanks into position for what commanders said would be a final push to eradicate al-Qaida fighters.
Afghan fighters loyal to commander Zia Lodin said they breached the first lines of al-Qaida and Taliban defenses yesterday but were stopped by hostile fire and land mines.
Another commander, Abdul Matin Hasankhiel, predicted it would take several days for government forces to organize for a final push.
Advancing Afghan troops found the bodies of seven foreign fighters yesterday, according to an Afghan commander.
Abdul Hanan. He said he was not sure whether they were Arabs or Pakistanis.
U. S. CH-47 Chinook helicopters flew what appeared to be small tanks into the battle area of Operation Anaconda at the base of the snowcapped Shah-e-Kot mountains.
"We will continue combat
operations in this area until we remove these parasites from Afghanistan," said Maj. Bryan Hilfert y, spokesman for the 10th Mountain Division.

A U.S. special forces delegation met yesterday with members of the Gardez town council to enlist their help in preventing Taliban and al-Qaida fugitives from receiving food, supplies and shelter from sympathetic local Afghans.
Force Brig, Gen. John Rosa said U.S. and allied Afghan forces battled small pockets of enemy fighters in the Shah-e-Kot area yesterday, Rosa said U.S. strike aircraft had dropped more than 100 bombs since Monday, bringing the total to more than 2,500 bombs since the offensive began March 2.

Rosa also said U.S. troops had begun searching abandoned al-Qaida caves in the area. He said there were "upwards of 40" caves there and that there had been no additional American casualties.
The U.S. delegation also urged the council to convince
residents to turn in Taliban or al-Qaida fighters who manage to escape the coalition onslaught in the Shah-e-Kot area, according to council chairman, Saful-lah.
U. S. aircraft dropped leaflets with a similar message over five villages on the Pakistani side of the border, residents said. The Shah-e-Kot region contains hundreds of possible escape routes to Pakistan, and residents scoff at suggestions that all of them can be monitored or closed.
"We were asked by the local authorities not to give any shelter to al-Qaida or the Taliban, and we are committed not to give them shelter, because we don't want trouble in our area," said Khan Marjan Wazir, a village leader.
Numerous violations hurt Zimbabwe elections
The Associated Presse
HARARE, Zimbabwe — Independent observers and human rights groups yesterday condemned Zimbabwe's presidential election as deeply flawed and demanded the release more than 1,000 polling agents and observers they charge were arrested during the balloting.
The criticism came as initial returns yesterday night gave President Robert Mugabe a 52 percent to 46 percent lead over Morgan Tsvangirai, with about 18 percent of districts reporting.
The three days of voting in a
outerly contested election was considered a crucial test for democracy in this southern African nation. Mugabe — the only leader Zimbabwe has known in 22 years of independence — faced his first real challenge in Tsvangirai, a former labor organizer.
But independent observers questioned the validity of the vote, saying it was tainted by violence, intimidation, confusion and the disenfranchisement of thousands of voters in the opposition stronghold of Harare.
"The presidential elections failed to meet key, broadly

He said the mission, the largest European delegation, found flaws with every step of the electoral process from voter registration and campaigning to the actual vote.
Several groups said more than 1,000 people had been arrested in connection with the election.
Amnesty International said 1,400 opposition polling agents and independent election observers had been detained but added other people had been arrested for allegedly trying to vote a second time.

Student helps found poetry movement; focuses on sensations, not emotions
By Adam Pracht
Kansan staff writer
Beneath the glare of stage lights, Zach Straus read his poem "sunup" from a creased sheet of paper in his hand.
Straus, Topeka freshman.
"In morning, the sun slices me vertically in half, and makes me realize I am, above all things, frail," he said as he finished the poem.

Faces in the Crowd
Carter, Lenexa sophomore, are trying to create a new movement in poetry. Straus said that the movement was just beginning, and for now they were calling it "Sensationism." The style of poetry focuses on physical sensations such as sight and touch rather than emotions, Straus said.
"You really don't know much besides the things that you can see and the things that you can hear," he said. "You can examine them and talk about them and the cosmic importance of them, but really the only concrete things in life are the ones that you can experience through your senses."
Carter said that Straus was important to their mission of making poetry more accessible.
"He's sort of a romantic at heart," Carter said. "He loves being loved and loving people."
Straus said his poems were often the only way that he could express his personal thoughts. He said presenting those internal ideas to the public made his hands tremble from nervousness.
"I have trouble being honest a lot of the time," he said. "Not like compulsive lying, but keeping things for myself. When I write and when I read in front of people, it's me stressing things that are really true."
Straus said his poetry had been a personal outlet since he wrote his first poem in eighth grade in reaction to an anti-Semitic joke that a classmate told.. His family is deeply rooted in Judaism.
Since then, he has drawn from personal experiences and written more than 100 poems, and won a writing award for young artists during his junior year of high school.
He said he wasn't sure where he was going to go with his talent, but he could be happy in many areas, such as weaving, photography or teaching.
photography say that I think that "I always say that I think that I'm going to be a really well-read waiter." Straus said, "And I'll be able to make great literary references about the special of the day."
Sometimes he writes about the reactions of others to himself as a Jew and a homosexual, but he said that people were generally accepting. He said if he had experienced more discrimination, he would have turned it into more literature.
Straus said that sometimes he tried to be abrasive to get a reaction from people.
"I'm fallible and I'm human," he said. "Things are really no more than just observations that I make because I'm really pompous and callous and other '-ous' words in the rest of my life."
Straus said that sometimes his strong will had caused conflicts in his family.

rebel, choosing all the wrong battles," he said.
His parents, Neal and Laura, agreed that his moods could be variable.
"Sometimes he can be rather stormy, and sometimes he can be like warm sunshine and just brighten up your day," Neal Straus said. "He's just not always sure what the weather is going to be. He's a joy to have around because he's very interesting in that way."
Despite the conflicts, Straus said that his family had inspired and supported him in what he did.
"Basically what it came down to is I realized that the reasons that I write are for the people that I love," Straus said. "After we cut through all the inter-dependencies and screwed up relations and wrongs and lies, what it comes down to is the fact that the things that I do—that I love the most—are because of them."

COMMENTARY
Andy Davies adavies@kansan.com
Men's season? Mary Poppins assessed it best
A team beyond words has a chance to finish beyond great seasons of past
It's hard to find the proper adjective to describe the Kansas basketball team's season.
Sensational? Sounds too much like Dick Vitale praising Duke.
Incredible? Sounds like one of those late-night infomercials Nick Collison loves to watch so much.
No, what's needed is a word that, just by its usage, denotes a season better than even Jayhawk fans expected. A word that describes the brilliance of a 29-3 season. A word such as supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
The word is certainly fitting. It's as long as the list of awards the Jayhawks have won this season. It's hard to say, just as putting together separate 13 and 16 game winning streaks is difficult to do. And it's rarely used, just like going undefeated in conference play is rarely accomplished.
All in all, the 'Hawks put together one of the best seasons in the long, proud history of the Kansas basketball program. The only thing left to complete the season is to reach the Final Four and win Roy Williams' first national championship.
Unfortunately, if the Jayhawks don't fulfill expectations in the NCAA Tournament, this season won't be remembered as anything but disappointing.
You don't have to remember too far back to know that is the case.
Take the 1998 team. That squad ran through the Big 12 with a 15-1 record, captured the Big 12 Conference Tournament championship and headed into the NCAA Tournament with a 35-3 record and ranked No.2 in the nation.
Kansas, however, lost to unheralded Rhode Island, and a Final Four favorite was eliminated in the second round.
But this year's version of Kansas appears to be different than past squads.
These Jayhawks don't worry about anything but the current situation they're in.
There's no looking forward to the next game, the next half or even the next possession. Kansas simply focuses on the current situation in the game and goes to work with surgical precision. The Jayhawks have a killer instinct. Kansas attacks its opponents, searching for the right time to deliver a knockout punch. And when the time is right, the Jayhawks deliver that punch.
I traveled to Columbia, Mo., and watched the 'Hawks slip by the Tigers. It was one of the most impressive Kansas wins I've seen.
The Jayhawks faced an inspired team playing before a frenzied crowd on senior day, foul trouble and an early deficit. Yet it didn't matter. Kansas, like it had done at Iowa State, at Texas and at Nebraska willed itself to victory.
Although the loss to Oklahoma caused some fans to be concerned, don't let it bother you, faithful readers. This Jayhawk team has shown the ability to do whatever it takes to win. Kansas has out-run, out-gunned, out-muscled and out-thought its opponents. And when that didn't work, the Hawks willed their way to victory.
But if you're still concerned about an upset, just remember one thing.
After its first loss, Kansas reeled off 13 straight wins. After its second loss, Kansas reeled off 16 straight. This time, the Jayhawks only need to get six.

Coach's enjoyable journey
Roy Williams says he won't judge his worth by an NCAA trophy
By Brent Wasko Kansan sportswriter
Kansas coach Roy Williams must be getting tired of being asked the same old questions every March.
Reporters sound like broken records each year before Kansas enters the NCAA Tournament, asking questions such as, "Do you feel like you're on a quest for a national championship?" and "Does it upset you when people say you're the best coach never to win a national title?"
Williams always answers politely, but it's obvious that deep down he wishes the questions about his past NCAA Tournament slip-ups would never be asked again.
"I try not to get too caught up in that at all," Williams said. "You know that you're human just like everybody else, that people are going to throw things at you, and people are going to
NCAA tickets still available
Tickets for Kansas' first-round and possible second-round games on Thursday and Saturday at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis are still available. Prices range from $60 for a single session to $150 for all three sessions. To purchase tickets, call Ticketmaster in St. Louis at (314) 421-4400 or (314) 241-1888 between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. or go online at www.ticketmaster.com.
say some negative things. You just have to be able to handle it."
After 13 years as the Jayhawks' coach, this being his 14th, a national title has eluded Williams. Kansas has been in prime position to hoist up a championship trophy on many occasions during that time span, qualifying for the Final Four twice and entering the NCAA Tournament as a No. 1 seed twice.
But hot-shooting teams such as Texas-El Paso, Rhode Island and Arizona have all gotten in the way, spoiling the Jayhawks' opportunity to celebrate in the end.
This season is no different for Kansas. The Jayhawks are the No. 1 seed in the Midwest Region and begin their journey through the bracket at 6:50 p.m. tomorrow against No. 16-seed Holy Cross.

"I do have a passion for it. I'm not hesitant to say that," Williams said. "To say that I'm maniac, that it's the only way I'm going to judge my worth, that's far from the truth. I've had 13 great, great years with kids that I've truly loved and truly enjoyed with great relationships. If I have 13 more years just like that, I'm going to feel very satisfied with everything we've done."
Williams doesn't deny that he badly desires to win a national championship, but he said whether he did or not would not define his career or his life.
Williams said he didn't think his

Junior forwards Drew Goooden and Nick Collison share a courtside moment at the Big 12 Championship game against Colorado. Basketball fans have high hopes that the frontcourt duo will help lead the team to an NCAA championship, and coach Roy Williams thinks they will be able to handle the expectations. Still, he has instructed the players not to talk about former teams that were upset in the postseason to avoid pressure based on previous teams' disappointments.

Senior pitcher Jeff Davis suffered his first loss of the season yesterday against Southwest Missouri State, giving up eight runs on seven hits. Kansas lost 15-7, their third straight loss.
Kansas falters early in loss
After winning the first 10 games of the 2002 season, the Kansas baseball team's slide in the opposite direction continued yesterday.
The Jayhawks lost a sloppy contest to Southwest Missouri State 15-7 yesterday in Springfield, Mo. Their third straight defeat drops their record to 10-3. The Bears improved to 6-2 on the year.
Down 1-0 early, Kansas evened the score in the top of the third, when sophomore outfielder Matt Trible scored on an error by Bear third baseman Matt Gardner.
It was never close again. Southwest Missouri exploded for seven runs in the bottom of the third, taking senior pitcher Jeff Davis out of the game after just 2/3 innings.
Kansas answered with two in the fifth, but the Bears added six more in the sixth, fueled by two home runs. The 15 runs was the most Kansas surrendered since March 4. 2001 against Oklahoma State.
Southwest Missouri committed six errors on the day, but made up for it by pounding out 20 hits

Tribble went 3-for-4 with a triple and four runs scored to pace the Kansas offense. Sophomore second baseman Ryan Baty and junior first baseman Kevin Wheeler each contributed two hits and two RBI.
Kansas travels to Waco, Texas, to take on No. 10 Baylor starting Friday. The team's next home game is March 22 against Michigan.

Ah, March Madness.
COMMENTARY
Small schools winning their conference to make the NCAA Tournament, even if for only one game. Mid-majors creating exciting TV viewing by beating higher seeds. And, most important to those not actually involved in the games—office pools.
The not-so-clandestine gambling goes on everywhere, from state offices to media outlets, and makes for even more water cooler chatter than the day after the Christmas boozefest — I mean party.
Not that I'm admitting to taking part in these illegal pools — not to any law enforcement officials that are reading anyway. There is a certain enjoyment to filling out a bracket, though, picking underdogs to advance and trying to determine who really is the best team in the country — for a couple of weeks, at least.
This year, that task could be daunting thanks,to the number of high quality teams as well as the selection committee's questionable decisions. Raise

your hand if you think the committee didn't have the brackets drawn up before noon Sunday. Anyone? Anyone?
The Bearcats did win 30 games, the most in the nation and should have little trouble with first-round opponent Boston University.
But it's that second-round match-up
that looks troublesome — a potential face off against UCLA, which can play like a top-10 team when it faces one. Don't be afraid to pick against the Bearcats after the first round because the Bruins or any of a number of other teams could topple them before the Final Four — or even the Sweet 16.
Two of those schools may face off in the tournament's best and most intriguing second-round matchup.
Arizona, winner of the Pac 10 Tournament, has a case for a No.2 seed and Gonzaga, winner of the West Coast Conference tournament and owner of wins against tourney teams Texas, Montana, St. John's and Pepperdine should be at least a No.3. This game, possibly the best second-round matchup ever, is between two top-10 teams and could make or break many people's brackets.
If they both win their first-round games, No. 3 Arizona could face No. 6 Gonzaga, which received the biggest shaft from the committee since Richard Roundtree patrolled Harlem.
That's not to demean the importance of a possible Kansas-Stanford showdown in the second round and its potential for office pool mayhem, but I think the Jayhawks can take care of business in this tournament.
Just as they did for 13 games after a loss to Ball State and for 16 games after falling to UCLA, the Jayhawks should be ready to go on a six-game winning streak after Sunday's loss and make the rest of the NCAA tournament meaningless.
Kansas has proven it doesn't like to lose, and the Jayhawks have the perfect stage to show the nation that this is their year and that coach Roy Williams isn't jinxed.
They better, at least, or I'm out some serious cash.

Glover, who slipped from 17 sacks to eight last season, signed with the Cowboys yesterday, after being cut by the New Orleans Saints for salary cap reasons.
New Orleans re-signed kicker John Carney and signed cornerback Dale Carter and wide receiver Jake Reed from the Minnesota Vikings.
The Cowboys' signing of Glover is an indication that Dallas's salary cap woes, which began with the signing of Sanders in 1995, have eased a bit.
Dallas has already re-signed safety Darren Woodson and guard Larry Allen, two of the few holdovers from the Super Bowl seasons. The only other outsider added was deep snapper and tight end Jeff Robinson from St. Louis.
Glover could change the Cowboys' draft strategy, too. Dallas holds the sixth overall pick and
could either trade down or take someone other than the several defensive tackles who are projected as high choices.

Carter made the Pro Bowl with Kansas City for four straight seasons — 1994-97 — but missed the 2000 season and part of 2001 after being suspended for 18 months for violating the substance abuse policy.
"Dale has his priorities straight and we are very confident that he is ready for a new start," Mueller said of Carter.

Diving team to try for championships
By Ali Brox Kansan sportswriter
All four Kansas women divers will compete in the Zone Diving Championships this weekend. The meet is one used to qualify for the NCAA Championships.
Senior Rebecca McFall, junior Kristie Misejka and Patti Stringham and freshman Sarah Bliss leave today for the Zone meet at Arkansas.
Diving coach Kevin Lawrence said to be able to compete at the Zone meet, divers had to attain a certain score during the season. A diver who attains the score on one board is allowed to compete on all the boards. Divers are chosen for the NCAA meet based on their place at the Zone meet.
"Realistically, you need to fin-
isn in the top four in the Zone to qualify," Lawrence said. "But that's not set in stone."
Misejka has been to the Zone Diving Championships the past two years. All of the Big 12 Conference and a few other schools compete at the same Zone meet as Kansas.
"We'll have to dive really well because we're in a tough Zone," Misejka said. "We have the reigning NCAA champ in our zone. It will be tough competition, but we hope to put on a good showing."
The NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships are March 21 to 23 in Austin, Texas.

Siena wins tourney berth
The Associated Press
DAYTON, Ohio — The team that couldn't win during the regular season has figured it out at tournament time.
Playing its eighth game in 17 days, Alcorn State ran out of steam in the second half.
Siena became only the second team to win an NCAA Tournament game with a losing record, beating Alcorn State 81-77 yesterday night in a play-in that provided a fitting start.
Proser Karangwa scored a career-high 31 points and struggling Dwayne Archbold hit a pair of free throws in the closing seconds — the type of clutch performance that the Saints (17-18) rarely managed in the regular season.
"A week ago, we were left for dead," coach Rob Lanier said. "It's quite a contrast."
Siena joined the 64-team bracket and won a trip to Washington to play Maryland, the No.1 seed in the East, on Friday.
The Saints also became the first team in 47 years to win an
Siena lost its last three regular-season games, leaving only one path to the NCAA Tournament.
Bradley is the only other team sharing the distinction — it won two in 1955.
It won four Metro Atlantic Conference tournament games on its home court to get the automatic bid.
NCAA Tournament game with a losing record.
Alcorn State (21-10) had been unbeaten in play-in games in Dayton, winning two in the 1980s under coach Davey L. Whitney.
The Braves spent a sleepless night getting to Dayton for this one, then faced elimination at the end of a back-and-forth game that found them at less than their best.
"I know we didn't have any zip in the first half," Whitney said.
"We had a little more in the second half. I didn't see the fierceness and the desire we usually play with when we're behind. I don't know what to put that on. It was our eighth game in 17 days with a lot of

travel."
Siena got to the play-in by getting 111 points from Archbold during the four-game conference tournament.
After the game, they embraced.
Archbold was closely guarded and went only 3-of-12 from the field for 12 points yesterday, but Karangwa took up the slack by hitting the biggest shots.
"I went up to him and said, That's what I've been waiting for." Archbold said.
"He can take it easy sometimes, but I knew he could play like this."
Siena is only the 16th team in NCAA history to make the tournament with a losing record, and the first since Florida A&M in 1999. Florida A&M went on to lose to Duke 99-58.
Tyson granted boxing license
The Associated Press
ASHBURN, Va. — Mike Tyson received a license to fight in Washington on a 3-0 vote last night by the D.C. Boxing and Wrestling Commission, setting the stage for a June 8 bout with Lennox Lewis at the MCI Center.
"I'm thrilled to be licensed in Washington D.C." "Tyson said in
"We looked at the application, that's what it is," vice chairman Michael Brown said. "It's an application for a boxing license, nothing more, nothing less.
The vote came at the end of a two-hour meeting that at times resembled a Tyson pep rally. The commission heard from about 60 speakers, and every single one of them supported licensing Tyson.
"It would be frivolous for us to stand up here and not be concerned about Mr. Tyson's past ... We did that, we took those things into account and made the decision we made."
statement released by
spokesman Scott Miranda.
"I applaud their decision and will give the fight fans in the District the fight they deserve—the chance to see me knock out Lennox Lewis in June."
Brown said the next step will be to process Lewis' application, which he said could be approved in the "coming days."
Washington is competing against several sites for a fight between Tyson and WBC-IBF champion Lewis.
Tyson also has been licensed in Tennessee, and Detroit has emerged as a front-runner in recent weeks.
Tyson, who did not attend the meeting, has been searching for place to fight since he was turned down in Nevada on Jan. 29.
The Washington commission interviewed Tyson in private last week, and conducted medical and psychiatric tests.
Commissioner Mabel
Boatwright said Tyson's medical report would be kept confidential.
"I can say that after a complete medical examination, Mr. Tyson is fit to participate in a boxing match," Boatwright said.
Cheers erupted among the standing-room only crowd after Boatwright's statement and following the final vote.
Opposition groups, such as the Greater Washington Board of Trade and the National Organization of Women, did not attend the meeting. Some of those opposed did express their opinions in advance in writing.
The pro-Tyson speakers evoked biblical references, cited Tyson's "right to make a living" and the fight's potential economic boost to the tourism industry.
Several who spoke said the opposition was motivated by racism, with comments such as "racism is alive and well" and "this is a black and white issue."

coaching peers judged him by whether or not he'd won a title as much as the media and fans did. There have been a lot of great coaches who haven't won it all, he said.
"To your peers, people in the profession, I'm not so sure that it elevates you as much in their eyes because they are going through the same things. They know the problems, they know the expectations, the stresses that you have — lucky, unlucky, injuries, no injuries, just the right situation, wrong timing, any of those things." Williams said.
The Jayhawks have been picked by many college basketball experts, such as ESPN's Dick Vitale and Jay Bilas, to make it into the Final Four this year. They also feel the Jayhawks have a good shot at winning the national title.
Williams understands that his players might feel some pressure because of the lofty expectations, he said, and he thinks they
will be able to handle it.
"I've enjoyed the journey. I've enjoyed the heck out of this team. I've enjoyed the heck out of the games, the practices," Williams said. "To say that the only way I can enjoy it is to win that last game, I'm not going to do that."
But he doesn't want his team to feel any added pressure to win because of past Jayhawk losses in the NCAA Tournament. He has instructed the players to not talk about former teams that were upset in the postseason.
Even if this year's NCAA Tournament doesn't end with a Kansas victory, Williams will still feel good about what the team accomplished this season, he said.
Duke guard Jason Williams,
Gonzaga guard Dan Dickau,
Cincinnati guard Steve Logan
and Maryland guard Juan Dixon
joined Gooden on the list.
Notes
Kansas junior forward Drew Gooden was named as a First-Team All-American by The Associated Press yesterday.
"I'm really proud to receive
such a prestigious honor," Gooden said. "At the start of the season, I had a number of individual goals, which I knew I could achieve if our team had great success — and so far we have."
Gooden, a candidate for national player of the year honors, is the first Jayhawk to be named a First-Team All-American since Paul Pierce and Raef LaFrentz in 1998. Gooden was the Big 12 Player of the Year this season, averaging 20.4 points per game and 11.3 rebounds per game. He also had a league-best 22 double-doubles this season — setting Kansas and Big 12 single-season records.

Connecticut point guard leads All-America team
Women's first-team sections announced. Bird takes top spot
The Associated Press
Sue Bird, the point guard who directs the nation's No. 1 team, was the No. 1 player yesterday on The Associated Press All-America team.
Bird received the most votes from a nationwide media panel and Oklahoma's Stacey Dales became the sixth player to repeat as a first-team selection. They were joined by Alana Beard of Duke, Chantell Anderson of Vanderbilt and LaToya Thomas of Mississippi State.
Anderson and Thomas moved up from the second team last season, when Bird was on the third team and Beard received honorable mention.
The first team duplicated the preseason All-America team in November.
Bird, Beard and Anderson were the only players picked on all 44 ballots cast by the media representatives who vote in the AP poll. The team has only two seniors, Bird and Dales. Anderson and Thomas are juniors and Beard is a sophomore.
Bird, who received 41 first-team votes and 214 points on a 5-3-1 basis, is the ultimate point guard — unselfish and smart, yet offensive-minded enough to score when needed. She was one of four Connecticut players on the three All-America teams, the first time one school has had that many.
mention.
Connecticut's Swin Cash and Diana Taurasi made the second team and UConn's Asijha Jones was on the third team. The Huskies' fifth starter, Tamika Williams, received honorable
"It's a great honor to make the first team among so many talented players, and I can't be more excited for my teammates, either," Bird said. "We've worked so hard all year long, and the fact that all five have been recognized by the AP goes to show how balanced and truly talented our starting five are.
"I'm glad we can all share the honors together."
Bird is the one who keeps that group together. She averages 13.7 points and 5.9 assists, and makes opponents pay when they foul her. Bird has missed only six free throws all season.
Beard received 36 first-team votes and had 204 points, while Anderson had 37 first-team votes and 200 points, followed by Dales with 177 and Thomas with 140.
Versatile enough at 5-feet-11 to play on the perimeter or inside,
Beard leads Duke in scoring (19.5), assists (4.6) and steals (3.2) and is second in rebounding (6.1).
"I am almost speechless," Beard said. "To finish second in votes to Sue Bird is amazing because Sue is an outstanding player. For me to be a sophomore and get the second-most votes is very exciting."
Anderson, a 6-foot-6 center, is almost automatic when she gets the ball near the basket. She's shooting 65.9 percent this season and has expanded her range, while averaging 20.2 points and 6.3 rebounds.
"It is an honor to be recognized and to be included in the company of those I consider to be some of the best players in the country," Anderson said. "I realized I am only as good as my teammates allow me to be, and I am fortunate to be surrounded by great players and coaches every
day."
Dales led second-ranked Oklahoma to the Big 12 regularseason and conference championships. Like Bird, Dales' leadership and mere presence on the court make her valuable, but she also has good numbers: 17.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.9 assists.
She was at her best in the Big 12 tournament, averaging 22.3 points in three games and capping the Sooners' title run with 25 points and 11 rebounds against Baylor.
"If ever there was a kid who deserves to shine at this time, it's Stacey Dales," Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale said. "I'm telling you, she is fun to watch. There were many, many plays in Kansas City this past weekend where I just sat down and enjoyed watching her."
Thomas has been Mississippi State's go-to player since she
arrived in Starkville. She's second nationally in scoring this season (24.9) and had games of 40 and 43 points. Thomas also averages 9.7 rebounds and shoots 57.7 percent.
"I'm just happy," Thomas said. "Not everybody is fortunate enough to be one of the top players in the nation. It's a great honor. I have to thank my teammates because without them, none of this would be possible."
Joining Cash and Taurasi on the second team were Angie Welle of Iowa State, Nicole Powell of Stanford and Kelly Mazzante of Penn State. Jones tied Shereka Wright for the final spot on the third team, which also had Sheila Lambert of Baylor, Lindsay Whalen of Minnesota, Kara Lawson of Tennessee and Linda Fohlich of UNLV.
Kansas State plays host in Mideast Regional game

Mideast
Regional play
Friday against
Kent State at Bramlage Coliseum, the Wildcats' home gym and within a 90-mile radius of where four of Kansas State's starters played their high school home games.

"It's fun to think of a lot of people being able to watch their local players compete in
the first round of the NCAA tournament," coach Deb Patterson said yesterday. "It's a unique part of a special year we've had in terms of fan support, and I expect we'll have a tremendous turnout."
Three of the four — senior guard Kristin Rethman, sophomore forward Nicole Ohlde and freshman forward Kendra Wecker — grew up less than an hour away from Manhattan in northern Kansas.
Rethman graduated from
Redshirt guard Laurie Koehn, the nation's most accurate 3-point shooter, was a high-school star at Moundridge, 80-odd miles southwest of Manhattan. She got plenty of playing time at Bramlage during her high school career, though, leading Moundridge to Class 2A state championships there in 1997, 1998 and 1999.
high school in Corning, 40 miles northeast of Manhattan. Ohlde graduated from Clay Center. 30 miles northwest of Manhattan, and Wecker in Marysville, 40 miles north.
All of that, Patterson and her players said, would not mean anything if third-seeded Kansas State did not play well against the Mid-American Conference tournament champions, who take a six-game winning streak into Friday's game.
We know that we have some work to do because hosting doesn't guarantee anything," said Koehn, who averages 17.3 points per game and is shooting 42.6 percent from long range.
Still, Patterson said, there were advantages — especially for a team that starts three freshmen — to playing in a hometown atmosphere.
"Emotionally, it's always a big boost — especially when you're about to line up against a great and hot basketball team in Kent State," Patterson said. "When I stand in front of my team and share with them that this is a team that has scored 80 points in four of its last six games, I think that brings the point home."
The Golden Flashes (20-10)
have three starters and one reserve averaging in double figures. They are led by senior guard Kate Miller (14.7 points per game), 6-foot-6 sophomore forward Andrea Csaszar (14.6 points per game, 47 blocked shots) and junior guard Valerie Zona (13.2 points per game, 4.3 assist per game).
"That's a difficult draw for Kansas State," said Iowa State coach Bill Fennelly, a close friend of Kent State coach Bob Lindsay. "I'm glad he's not coming here to play. He's got good players, and he'll have them ready."
Kansas State (24-7) is making its first NCAA tournament appearance since 1997 but hasn't won there since reaching the regional semifinals in 1983 before the tournament expanded from 32 to 64 teams.
St. Francis hoping for miracle win
LORETTO, Pa. — St. Francis is the patron saint of animals. How unfair, then, his basketball team should be fed to the wolves — or the Huskies, as the case may
The Associated Press
he.
After winning an automatic bid as the Northeast Conference champion, the St. Francis, Red
DOG MARKET
Flash won the right to face unbeaten and top-ranked Connecticut in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
"This is an exciting opportunity for us," guard Sami Allison said. "Connecticut is obviously the best team in the country, and it's a great opportunity just to play them."
Red Fleet
Just as Connecticut is the clear choice as the tournament's top seed — the Huskies (33-0) are the nation's only undefeated team and the unanimous choice as No. 1 in The Associated Press Top 25 — St. Francis is a logical choice as the tournament's bottom seed.
After a 2-7 start, St. Francis came back to finish 19-11, win
ning both the regular-season and tournament titles in the Northeast Conference. But the NEC was rated 30th out of 31 by CollegeRPI.com and the Red Flash have the lowest RPI (157) of any team in the tournament.
"We weren't very surprised," guard Tonjee Ward said. "We kind of expected we'd be a 16 seed. We're just looking at this as a challenge."
Beating a No.1 seed in the first round of the NCAA tournament is about as close to impossible as there is in sports. Since going to a 64-team format, only one women's team has pulled off that task - Harvard beat Stanford 71-67 in 1998.
"I tell our ladies, 'If it was a 100 percent guarantee who's going to win that game, they wouldn't bother to play it.'" St. Francis coach Myndi Hill said. "Now a game like this, it might be 99.99 percent — but we're still going to play like we know we can play."
That's exactly the attitude the Red Flash need, according to Kathleen Delaney-Smith, who coached Harvard in its win over Stanford.
"They have to come up with a game plan where they can believe they can disrupt UConn. Whatever that is — whether it's a trick defense, something unorthodox
— because, player-for-player, no one in the country can match up and beat UConn. You just absolutely have to believe you
can win."
Hill knows the keys to staying with the Huskies: get back in transition, limit their offensive rebounds, don't be afraid to take the first open shot.
She also knows that's easier said than done. Every game plan this year has fallen short, and most of them far short. Twenty-three of Connecticut's 33 wins have been by 30 points or more, and even the Huskies' 86-72 win at Tennessee was closer than the final score.
Hill said the most important thing was not to get overwhelmed in the first few minutes. Even though the players might be a little awestruck playing against stars such as Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi — "Shoot. I'm even a little excited to be on the same court as Geno Auriemma," Hill said — if they can keep the score close, they might not be forced into Connecticut's running game.
The tournament also is a learning experience for St. Francis, which has just one senior on its roster. This is the sixth NCAA bid in seven years for the Red Flash, but they have yet to win a game in the tournament.
"We want our ladies to play in that atmosphere, to play those top teams, and learn how to compete in that environment," Hill said. "Maybe next year we can get a 13 or a 14 seed, maybe a 12 or 11, and be in a better position to get that first win."

Bulldogs player elevates team
The Associated Press
JACKSON, Miss. — No matter how Derrick Zimmerman plays, reporters gravitate to him after Mississippi State games.
Mississippi State games
the boyish-looking point guard gives interesting answers to even the most mundane
STATE
questions. his demeanor is usually pleasant, even after a loss.
He has become the Bulldogs unofficial spokesman.
"I kind of noticed it. I really don't mind it," he said. "That's probably the role of the point guard — being the spokesperson for the team. I just try to take it as an honor."
Zimmerman leads Mississippi
State (26-7) into the NCAA tournament as the No. 3 seed in the Midwest region and one of the hottest teams in the nation.
The Bulldogs have won eight straight, including their first Southeastern Conference tournament title in six years, heading into Friday's game against McNeese State in Dallas.
Mississippi State coach Rick Stansbury said Zimmerman's transformation from uncertain reserve to team leader — on and off the court — has paralleled the Bulldogs' unexpected rise to prominence.
"I said from day one. Derrick Zimmerman would be the key to our success this season. We're here because of him." Stansbury said.
two years here," Zimmerman said.
The 190-pound junior came to Mississippi State from Monroe, La., as a high-scoring shooting guard with blazing speed and a gravity-defying vertical leap.
"That's a big honor coming from where I came from my first
But in college he was a player without a position. His size — 6-foot-2 — and lack of shooting range weren't ideal for an off guard. And he didn't have the mentality of a point guard.
Zimmerman played in short spurts, mixing spectacular plays with questionable decisions.
He was constantly looking over his shoulder, waiting for the hook from Stansbury.
"Look, 'Z' has always been a great, great player and a great athlete," back-court mate Marckell Patterson said. "But he used to play on the fringes, and we wasn't
relaxed."
The turning point came late last season, when Stansbury turned the team over to Zimmerman during the NIT.
With Zimmerman mostly playing point guard, the Bulldogs won two games.
The transition was still a work in progress heading into this season.
"I told coach, 'Just give me a chance. I'll be able to make good things happen for this team.'" he said. "Look where we are today."
Zimmerman led the SEC in assists this season with 6.2 per game and was second in steals (2.24), helping 17th-ranked Mississippi State tie a school record for victories.
He's still a little rough around the edges, though, as his SEC-leading 113 turnovers suggest.
Panthers point guard key to team's success
The Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh guard Julius Page saw teammate Brandin Knight play with a calf injury so severe that it limited him to one practice a week and with a sore knee that had troubled him for three years.
So, when Knight convincecoach Ben Howland to let him hobble back onto the court, despite a potentially serious knee injury, to take a desperation shot in the Big East championship game Saturday, Page wasn't surprised.
Page knew that if the situation were reversed and he was injured, Knight would expect Page to do the same thing without complaining, without failing.
"If I could walk," Page said,
"he would expect me to play."
Afterall, they know one of college basketball's top point guards and most improved players, the Big East co-player of the year, isn't about to let them down after carrying them all season.
That's why Knight's teammates are certain he will play Friday against Central Connecticut State in the NCAA tournament at Mellon Arena, even though Knight could barely walk Monday on his strained right knee.
The No. 9 Panthers (27-5) have been one of the nation's biggest surprises as they await their first NCAA game played inside Pittsburgh's city limits. And it's largely because Knight has transformed himself from a steady, reliable player a year ago on a 19-14 team that missed the NCAA tournament into a star.
The 6-foot junior has pushed himself onto the short list of the best players in Pitt history, alongside Billy Knight, Charles Smith, Don Hennon and Jerome Lane.
"I coached John Stockton," said Howland, an assistant at Gonzaga when the future Utah Jazz point guard played there. "And Brandin's right there with him. He just keeps getting better and better. He's one of the smartest players I've ever coached. His basketball IQ is unbelievable."
Knight's importance to Pitt goes beyond numbers that, even in themselves, illustrate his ability to take over a game: 15.6 points, 7.1 assists, 4.9 rebounds, 2.4 steals a game.
In recent weeks, as Pitt has won 12 of 14 during the best season in school history, Knight has had — amid a string of 20-point games — a couple of 14-assist games and a 10-rebound game.
Bluejays hope wait doesn't hurt game
The Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb. — Creighton's last two trips to the NCAA tournament have started with long waits and ended with quick exits.
The Bluejays don't want that to become a trend Friday when they open the tournament against No. 15 Florida in Chicago. Creighton hasn't played since winning the Missouri Valley Conference tournament last Monday.
This is the fourth straight NCAA trip for Creighton (22-8), but the Bluejays haven't won a national tournament game since upsetting Louisville in 1999.
"It's been frustrating. We want to get out and play this game," center Brody Deren said yesterday. "We've been waiting forever it seems like. It's kind of hard to get motivated in practice when the game is so far away."
"Those were both games we thought we had a really good chance of getting. We didn't get them and it hurts a lot," guard Kyle Korver said.
Coach Dana Altman is trying to come up with a way to revive the intensity Creighton had while beating Southern Illinois 84-76 last week. The Bluejays and Salukis tied for the MVC regular season title.
To avoid being lost in the league
tournament frenzy that precedes selection Sunday, the MVC plays its tournament the weekend before the Big Ten, Big 12 and Atlantic Coast Conferences, wrapping it up the Monday before.
Although it leads to a long delay, the league does get a rare national television matchup when ESPN shows the championship game.
"We've probably got the right weekend. We just need to figure out how to stay ready — how to stay sharp over those 10 days. You go through a whole basketball season and you never have that long of a break." Altman said. "It's just kind of a difficult time."
Altman has had the Bluejays scrimage more often than usual in practice while preparing for the Gators (22-8), who were ranked No. 2 in late January.
The Gators are the fifth-seeded team in the Midwest Region, while the Blueiavs are the No.12 seed.
Altman blamed inconsistent play that led to upset losses to teams like Drake and Northern Iowa for Creighton's lowest seed in its four-year tournament run.
"Our margin of error isn't very big. We're not a real big team. We're not a real athletic team." Altman said, "But we've got just enough athletism and just enough size, that if we play hard we can compete with a lot of people."
Illinois hopes to put inconsistent season behind
The Associated Press
It's what was expected of them from the beginning.
CHAMPAIGN, III. — The inconsistent season by Illinois and Frank Williams would all be forgotten with a successful run through the NCAA tournament.
AS
4
Ranked as high as No. 2, the Illini appeared
to be overrated when they lost five of eight games — then looked as good as advertised as they
closed the regular season with a nine-game winning streak.
"We've taken a strange route to get here, but I think we are a pretty good team." Illinois coach Bill Self said. "The season starts Friday, basically. This is why you play. Now we need to make it happen when it counts the most."
Williams, a junior guard criticized for his inconsistent play during the Illini's midseason slump, has announced he is leaving college a year early for the NBA.
Self isn't sure where Williams, regarded as a top pick after being
named the Big Ten player of the year as a sophomore, stands with pro scouts now. He does know the enigmatic guard could erase a lot of doubts if he dominates like Self said he believed he was capable of during the tournament.
"Frank's had a good year. I don't think Frank's had an exceptional year," Selfsaid. "He's probably got as much at stake as anyone in the tournament. This is his last go-around."
Williams leads Illinois in scoring and assists, but is shooting just 38 percent from the field and 30 percent from 3-point range.
The No. 13 Illini (24-8) are seeded fourth in the Midwest and play San Diego State (21-11) on Friday in Chicago at the United Center — a home away from home for Illinois.
Senior forward Randy Holcomb was born and raised in Chicago, and San Diego State coach Steve Fisher was raised in Herrin, Ill., and played basketball at Illinois State.
The Aztecs are sure to have a few fans in the stands, too.
Holcolm leads the Aztecs in scoring and rebounding with at 17.2 points and 9.2 rebounds.

Letterman says he'll stay at CBS
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — David Letterman put an end to the late-night soap opera that has preoccupied television for more than a week, telling his Late Show audience that he is staying at CBS and rejecting an enticing offer from ABC.
Letterman's future has been the subject of widespread speculation since reports emerged that ABC was trying to woo him with a multimillion-dollar offer that would have displaced veteran newsman Ted Koppel from his Nightline slot.
Letterman ended the speculation on Monday—his first day back after a Caribbean vacation that coincided with the buzz about his future.
The fallout from the decision is certain to be felt at ABC, which has repair work to do at its news division.
Koppel said that ABC parent Walt Disney Co.'s bid for Letterman had damaged his show. He said it would be unreasonable to expect people at Nightline to continue working in a climate of uncertainty.
"There must be a great many talented comedians who would welcome the opportunity to take over the Nightline time slot," Koppel said. "Our hope is that Disney will send a clear and unmistakable signal to them, to us, to the advertising community and to all of our loyal viewers interested in the robust future of network television news that Nightline can count on serious corporate backing."
ABC President Alex Wallau said Nightline would remain in its time slot. But he described the move to go after Letterman as a smart one that fell just short, and said ABC would aggressively try
to improve itself as it did with the recent signing of John Madden for Monday Night Football.
wallau also defended the network's support of its news division in an episode that's been seen as a test case for whether large media companies would stand beside journalists.
"We invest a tremendous amount of money to make our news brand and support our people in the news division, and give them the ability to be the best news division that can possibly exist," he said. "We're very proud of that and we think that at the end of the day, that support will be recognized."
ABC and CBS dangled similar financial offers to Letterman, deals that would pay him about $31 million a year.
The networks were touting the promotional muscle of their parent companies, Viacom for CBS and Disney.

Field sees release, Royals roster
The Associated Press
HAINES CITY, Fla. — Nate Field has gone from almost being out of professional baseball to being on the Kansas City Royals roster this spring.
The Montreal Expos released Field on March 29, 2000, after two years in their minor league system.
"The day I was released was one of the worst days in my life." Field said yesterday. "Things happen for a reason, and it has worked out for the best."
He signed with Sioux City in the Northern League, where he went 3-0 with a 1.93 earned run average in 11 games.
The Royals bought his contract from Sioux City on June 29, 2000, and in 2001 he led the Wichita Wranglers with 19 saves and struck out 67 in 73 innings. He was added to the 40-man big league roster in November.
The opportunity is definitely present for Field with the Royals. Field, who went to Fort Hays State in Hays, Kan., and Barton County Junior College in Great Bend, Kan., has been impressive. In three games, Field has had one save, not allowed a run, struck out two and walked none in three innings.
"This is the first time a lot of these guys (on the coaching staff) have seen me," said Field, a 26-year-old right-hander. "I just want to open some eyes. All you can ask for is a chance."
Field played shortstop more often than he pitched in college, hitting .350 as a senior at Fort Havs, but also logging 13 saves.
"In four years of college, I barely had 100 innings of pitching." Field said. "I had success on the mound, but I didn't have mechanics."
He was not drafted, but the Expos signed him as a free agent.
"I've bounced around a lot," Field said. "I took little bits and pieces from all the coaches, and I just finally found something that worked for me. I try to pitch aggressive and keep the ball down. I've had success with that."
Field will probably open the season with Class AAA Omaha, but appears on the verge of pitching in the majors. Brian Murphy, as assistant to the general manager, said he likes the way Field pitches consistently low in the strike zone.
"If you would have asked me two years where I'd be today. I would have said the pitching coach at Fort Hays State," Field said. "When I was with Sioux City, they said the job was mine."
Baseball artifacts become natural history as exhibit takes treasures on 4-year tour
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — In a setting usually reserved for dinosaurs and meteorites, baseball settled comfortably into the Museum of Natural History yesterday.
The Hall of Fame's Baseball As America exhibit opens to the public on March 16 and runs through Aug. 18, the first stop on a nine-city, four-year tour that will take selected memorabilia from Cooperstown around the country.
Join the sixy-six Hall of Famers gathered for
Twenty-six Hall of Famers gathered for
the press preview. Stan Musial and Enos Slaughter were in wheelchairs. Bobby Walker walked gingerly. Steve Carlton, always a man of mystery, wore dark glasses.
Some of them clearly were wowed by what they saw — everything from Shoeless Joe Jackson's shoes to Jackie Robinson's jersey, from the cornerstone of Brooklyn's Ebbets Field to a row of seats from the long-gone Polo Grounds.
Robinson's shirt had some impact on Monte Irvin, who did not make it to the majors until 1949 because of baseball's
policy of banning African-American players. He was 30 years old by then, his best days already spent in the Negro Leagues.
"I'm sorry I couldn't have come up 10 years sooner," Irvin said, his hand cradling a cane. "I was scouted in 1936. I was ready for them. They weren't ready for me."
Included in the exhibit was a baseball found in the rubble at the World Trade Center following the Sept. 11 attacks and the Doubleday ball thought to be used in
baseball's first game in 1839. There are bats, including the one Babe Ruth used to hit his 60th home run in 1927 and the one Roger Maris used for No.61 in 1961.
"This exhibit mirrors the mission of the Hall of Fame," said Jane Forbes Clark, chairman of the board for the Hall. "It honors great heroes. It connects generations. In the 62 years the Hall has been open in Cooperstown, we've had 12 million visitors. We expect four- to five-million people to see this exhibit in the next four years."
LaFrentz, Pierce added to United States team
The Associated Press
Still looking for a few good big men, the United States added center Raef LaFrentz along with guard Andre Miller and forward Paul Pierce to the squad that will compete at the World Championships in Indianapolis this summer.
Jason Kidd, Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, Michael Finley, Shawn Marion, Antonio Davis and Jermaine O'Neal were previously named to the team, to be coached by George Karl of the Milwaukee Bucks
Two more roster spots, along with one alternate, remain to be filled by the USA Basketball selection committee.
Duke guard Jason Williams was given one of the alternate spots yesterday, and another college player is likely to be chosen for the other.
LaFrentz, Davis and O'Neal provide the United States three big bodies that can play center or power forward.
"Looking at the roster, it's pretty safe to say we'll select one more front court player and possibly two," said NBA vice president Stu Jackson, the chairman of the selection committee.
The World Championships, the first ever held in the United States, will be held Aug. 29-Sept. 8 at Conseco Fieldhouse and the RCA Dome. Several NBA players
will be competing for foreign teams in the 16-nation field,including six players from the Mavericks.
In addition to LaFrentz and Finley, Steve Nash will play for Canada, Dirk Nowitzki and Shawn Bradley for Germany and Wang Zhizhi for China.
China can play a frontline of the 7-foot Wang, 7-foot-6 center Yao Ming — expected to be a top lottery pick in this June's NBA draft and 6-foot-11 Menk Bateer of the Denver Nuggets.
Burke Yugoslavia, the European champion, has a front line that includes NBA players Predrag Drobnjak and Vladimir Radmanovic of Seattle and Zeljko Rebraca
and Ratko Varda of Detroit, along with shooting guard Peja Stojakovic of Sacramento, an NBA All-Star.
Other NBA players in the tournament include Pau Gasol of Spain, Todd MacCulloch and Jamaal Magliore of Canada. Hedo Turkoglu of Turkey and Andrei Kirilenko of Russia.
"It's not just one team. I think every country will be strong," LaFrentz said. "The quality of international basketball has increased, and the USA is definitely a team with a target on its back."
Strawberry back in jail for breaking treatment center rules
The Americans won the gold medal with a team of NBA players in 1994 in Toronto.
The Associated Press
OCALA, Fla. — Darryl Strawberry was jailed yesterday, his 40th birthday, for breaking a rule at the drug treatment center where he had been serving two years of house arrest.
Florida Department of Corrections officials did not provide details of the violation.
The eight-time major league All-Star did not leave the program or test positive for drugs, said Joe Papy, supervisor of probation services in Tampa.
Strawberry was being held without bond in the Marion County Jail and was kicked out of the drug-treatment program at Phoenix House, a residential
facility about 80 miles north of Tampa. He was scheduled to appear Wednesday morning at the Marion County Judicial Center.
"They just said I was discharged from the program," Strawberry said outside the jail.
Strawberry said he had not been accused of fighting or other infractions at the center.
the center. Strawberry was sentenced in May to two years of house arrest at the center following a four-day, cross-state drug binge
prison for violating his probation, which he has already violated five times.
Strawberry faces up to 18 months in
Strawberry's lawyer, Joseph Ficarrotta, was surprised by the arrest and did not immediately have details.
Just before the arrest, Ficarrotta was arranging to get Strawberry into the next phase of the program, then back home to Tampa.
Strawberry's original sentence stemmed from a 1999 conviction for drug possession and solicitation of prostitution.
Strawberry now must return to Tampa to appear before Hillsborough Circuit Court Judge Florence Foster, who has offered him many breaks but warned him his chances were running out.
Last month, New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner said he would give Strawberry a player-development job with the team after he was released.
Steinbrenner left a spring training game in Dunedin without commenting on the arrest and spokesman Rick Cerrone said the Yankees would not comment until they had details of what occurred.
occurred. Strawberry won World Series titles with the New York Mets in 1986 and the Yankees in 1996 and 1999. Along with drug problems, he has undergone operations for colon and stomach cancer. Recent tests showed no signs of the disease.
Ankiel's elbow hampering chances to make season opener
The Associated Press
JUPITER, Fla. — Rick Ankiel won't pitch in a game again until at least next week, jeopardizing his chances of making the St. Louis Cardinals' opening-day roster.
St. Louis hopes Ankiel will be able to face battles in a simulated game by early
next week.
The 22-year-old left-hander, bothered by elbow tendinitis, has made just one start in spring training, giving up six runs in two innings on March 3. The following day he complained of elbow pain, and he hasn't appeared in a game since.
"I think what we decided was don't look too far ahead," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said yesterday. "Let him throw tomorrow, see how he feels. Let him throw Friday, and if everything's OK he faces hitters on Monday, and then we'll see how he feels."
The Cardinals would like Ankiel to make three or four starts to tune up for the season, and there's less than three weeks until the April 1 opener against Colorado.
"Time's running out," general manager Walt Jocketty said. "There's no sense in rushing it. If he's not ready, we'll figure out
from there what we do."
The Cardinals have seven candidates for the starting rotation, which is headed by Matt Morris, Woody Williams and Darryl Kile.
In addition to Ankiel, Bud Smith, Andy Benes and Garrett Stephenson are battling for spots.
Benes, coming off knee surgery following his worst season, has been impressive in three spring starts, allowing three runs in 10 innings. Stephenson, who had reconstructive elbow surgery 11 months ago, has thrown 62-3 scoreless innings.
Ankiel hasn't fared well since throwing
nine wild pitches in four innings during the 2000 playoffs. In the postseason opener against Atlanta, he became the first major league pitcher to throw five wild pitches in one inning since Sept. 15, 1890, when Bert Cunningham did it for Buffalo of the Players League.
Last year, Ankiel was 1-2 with a 7.13 ERA in six starts for the Cardinals, walking 25 in 24 innings. He then went 0-2 with 20.77 ERA in three starts for Triple-A Memphis and 5-3 with a 1.33 ERA in 14 starts at Johnson City of Appalachian Rookie League.

Student Senate debates vote for $50 million tuition increase
By Sarah Hill Kansan staff writer
After almost four hours of debate last night, student senators could not reach a consensus on how to best represent students' opinions on tuition increases.
At issue was student representation on the Ad Hoc Committee on University Funding, which approved a tuition increase proposal of $50 million Monday.
Jamel Bell, graduate senator and committee member, said the committee voted on an arbitrary dollar amount instead of one of the committee's original proposals, which were more structured.
Dallas Rakestraw, student senator and Ad Hoc Committee co-chair was the only student member of the committee to vote for the tuition increase.
A group of student senators asked Rakestraw to resign from the committee. Rakestraw refused.
"I do not feel that I made a mistake." Rakestra said, "I stand by my vote."
Rakestraw spoke for about 10 minutes at the meeting, during which he was interrupted by shouts from other senators. At one point, Rakestraw left the room after being interrupted, even though he had the floor.
"I will not be told I am not pro-student because I voted to keep KU at its current level," he said.
Senators called repeatedly for an official Student Senate opinion on rejecting the $50 million dollar proposal, but could not agree on an action.
Matt Dwyer, off-campus senator, asked the committee members to recommend inclusion of student input for allocation of the new funds. A show of hands indicated that almost all senators agreed.
"It would put teeth on this proposal, which is otherwise an arbitrary number," he said.
The proposed tuition increase will be clarified by the committee at 1:00 p.m. today in the provost's conference room.
In other business:
Rakestraw, Bell and Matt Steppe, residential senator and committee member, asked all senate members to attend tomorrow's meeting.
Senate passed a resolution on the 54-credit hour requirement proposed by the Board of Regents. The resolution urges the Regents to adopt a policy with a minimum of 45 credit hours of upper-division courses.
ine Regents are debating a policy that would require students to complete 54 hours of upper-level classes for graduation. The University requires 40 hours.
The resolution will be faxed to the Regents tomorrow before its meeting in Topeka.

University of Kansas students celebrated after the Jayhawks won the NCAA men's basketball championship in 1988. Lt. Schuyler Bailey said the KU Public Safety Office would be more prepared this year.
Officials learn lesson from past experience
KU Public Safety Office prepared to handle post-game revelry, melee
By Rachel Keesee
Kansan staff reporter
Thousands of fans filled Jayhawk Boulevard.
Car horns honked all over Lawrence, people danced on rooftops and fireworks went off.
That was April 5,1988.
The Kansas Jayhawks had just won their first NCAA men's basketball championship in 36 years.
Yet even with the estimated 30,000 people crowded on campus between the Chi Omega fountain and 14th Street according to Kansan archives, few accidents occurred.
But KU police were not prepared for the crowd, said Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office. He was an officer at the time.
"A lot of people assembled very quickly," he said. "The sheer number, the volume—it was overwhelming almost."
Since 1988, the public safety office has improved its
preparedness for crowds on campus after athletic events. The last time, though, police were not quite ready.
April 1, 1991, after the Jayhawks lost the championship to Duke, a crowd of 15,000 again filled Jayhawk Boulevard. After about an hour, things got ugly.
People who had carried beer bottles and cans to campus threw them, causing 23 injuries.
The 35 officers on duty broke up at least six nights. "The atmosphere was much different from 1988," said Bailey, who was on duty that night.
inpus threw them, causing 22 injuries.
The 35 officers on duty broke up at least six fights.
that was the difference between a happy crowd and a disappointed crowd, Bailey said.
According to Kansan archives, campus police made no arrests that night, although people were taken into police cars until they calmed down. Police thought that was the best way to handle the situation.
Now, however, things will be different if KU fans have reason to gather, Bailey said.
"We've been meeting to decide everything from the number and placement of officers and where we think we'll get them from, to radio frequencies," he said. "We expect assistance from several other law enforcement

Cards send sobering messages
By Mike Gilligan Kansan staff writer
For the next year, University of Kansas students turn in 21 will get a birthday card from an unexpected source.
During the next 10 to 12 months, they will receive a birthday card from the University promoting safety and responsibility on their birthday. The University started sending cards this month.
The project is sponsored by the KU Social Norms Media Campaign, which is funded by the Kansas Health Foundation. Janette Berkley-Patton, coordinator for the campaign, said more than 300 students would receive the cards each month.
A
Along with the card, students receive a free ticket to a Student Union Activities movie and an invitation to complete an online survey about how they celebrated their birthday.
The University of Kansas card has a unique feature, she said.
Students who complete the survey will be entered in a drawing for a $100 gift certificate to the KU Bookstores.
SARA SHEPHERD/KANSAN
"We hope students will drink responsibly on their birthday," Berkley-Patton said. "We know a lot of students drink to some degree, but we want to promote responsibility."
Berkley-Patton said more than 40 schools, such as Michigan State and the University of Virginia, were sending birthday cards to students turning 21.
"Conferences have presented information that students respect the decision of the University to send them cards." she said.
"On the card there's a list of 21 things you should

have done at KU by the time you turn 21," Berkley-Patton said.
She said the list included things like changing your major to telling a good K-State joke.
Berkley-Patton said students at other universities had changed their decisions about what they were going to do for their birthday based on the cards.
But some students disagree about the effect the cards can have.
"I think it's a good idea, but I don't think it's going to influence people's decision to drink," said Ryan Murry.

"We want to make KU fun again," he said.
"A lot of people think we're a joke, but we're taking this seriously," he said. "Isn't it time we all just smile?"
Bammel said that while the purpose of the coalition was about having fun, it was committed to winning the election.

Bill could put politics on license plates
Rep. Gary Hayzlett, R-Lakin, said he wasn't used to hearing the abortion issue as chair of the Kansas House of Representatives transportation committee.
But he expects a bill that would allow a "Choose Life" specialty license plate to create extensive debate as the committee begins hearings today.
the hearings come two weeks after the measure passed the Kansas Senate by a 21-19 vote. If 500 plates are ordered, Kansas car owners could pay $25 to $100 extra for a specialty license plate bearing the symbol and name of Choose Life.
the organization began in August 2000 in Florida, where 30,000 cars bear the plate. Since then, Louisiana, South Carolina, and Alabama have passed similar laws. Choose Life Inc. donates the proceeds from the license plates to support crisis pregnancy centers, maternity homes and some adoption centers. To receive money, the organizations cannot provide, recommend or be connected to abortions.
Eighteen specialty license plates are available already in Kansas that support veterans' groups and universities.
Sen. Les Donovan, R-Wichita, chair of the Senate Transportation Committee, brought the bill from committee to the rest of the Senate. He said he voted in favor of the measure because the proceeds would benefit crisis pregnancy centers.
"I think it can be very, very helpful," he said. "I think anyone that wants to view it as a negative is going to anyway. I don't see it as anything but positive."
However, Sen. Sandy Praeger, R- Lawrence, said while she agreed with supporting pregnancy centers, she voted

CAMPUS Couple donates more than $1.2 million to University
The Kansas University Endowment Association announced a donation of more than $1.2 million Tuesday.
Joe and Susan Morris of Leawood established a trust that will be transferred to the Endowment Association upon their deaths.
Under the provisions of the agreement, about one-half of the gift is unallocated and one-third will go toward athletics. The rest will be divided among the schools of business, architecture and journalism—the schools that the Morrises' three sons graduated from.
John Scarffe, director of communications for the Endowment Association, said the amount of the donation was high compared to most.
The Endowment receives about 35,000 donations per year.
"It's an excellent donation," he said. "We've only had 36 donations of $1 million or more."
The Morrises also pledged $100,000 during the next four years to help supplement men's basketball coach Roy Williams' salary. Scarffe said the supplement was an incentive to keep the popular coach from transferring to another school.
"Alumni like the Morrises are eager to keep Williams here at Kansas," he said.

Decision on Oread houses delayed until end of week
The fate of three University-owned houses in the 1300 block of Ohio has been delayed until Friday.
Barbara Maple, secretary for Ramon Powers, the state historical preservation officer, said the meeting was set for 3 p.m. yesterday but Powers was "detained" and the meeting was postponed until Friday afternoon. She said she wouldn't elaborate.
The Lawrence Preservation Alliance and the Oread Neighborhood Association have fought to keep the houses because they contribute to the historic environment of Spooner Hall and Usher House.
The University wants to raze the houses to make room for two new scholarship halls.

House committee passes district bill splitting city
TOPEKA—A redistricting bill that splits Lawrence between two congressional districts won a House com mittee's endorsement yesterday.
The proposal was drafted by Republican leaders. It would split Lawrence between the 2nd and 3rd districts, and enlarge the 1st District.
The Redistricting Committee endorsed the plan on an unrecorded 12-9 vote. It discussed three other maps, including two that kept Lawrence whole, but those maps failed to win enough support.
Legislators are redrawing all of the state's House, Senate, Board of Education and U.S. House districts to account for population changes.
Under the bill endorsed by the committee, the 3rd District would include the eastern part of Lawrence and the University of Kansas.
Lawrence officials do not want their community split, but some Republicans think it is the best way to balance the population in the four U.S. House districts.
But the alternative to splitting Lawrence was splitting Johnson County between the 2nd and 3rd, which many Republicans oppose.
With the bill that the committee endorsed the big 1st District would grow even larger, gaining four counties in the northeast and part of Harvey County. The 1st would lose two counties to the 2nd District.
The 2nd District would include both Fort Leavenworth and Fort Riley, and would gain two counties and most of Douglas county, including west Lawrence.
The 4th District, based around Wichita, would remain almost unchanged.

Service important part of religion
By Maggie Koerth
Kansan Staff Writer
The goal of all religions is to provide answers. 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 particular moral or ethical question. We hope the answers will illuminate the differences and sometimes surprising similarities between the beliefs of different people.
PETER CALVIN
Q. "How important is service to others to personal salvation, enlightenment or growth?"
A. Justin Herrmann, Topeka senior
President of KU Baha'i Club
MICHAELLEONARD //KANSAN
"Baha's believe that service is essential to both salvation and enlightenment. We believe that words are worthless unless backed up with actions.
Justin Herrmann, Topka senior,
President of KU Bahal'i Club.
We also believe that work done in the spirit of service is a form of worship. From the Kitab-i-Aqdas (The Most Holy Book), 'Every individual, no matter handicapped and
limited he may be, is under the obligation of engaging in some work or profession, for work, especially when performed in the spirit of service, is according to Baha u'llah a form of worship. It has not only a utilitarian purpose, but has a value in itself, because it draws us nearer to God, and enables us to better grasp His purpose for us in this
Having said that, service, with regard to salvation, is worthless unless it is backed up by faith. By faith I mean a belief in God."
world.'
A. Benedict Kemmerer, Walldorf, Germany, graduate student
Liberal Christian and agnostic
"To me, service is at the heart of Christianity. Together with forgiveness, it is perhaps the central message that I took away from the Bible. But the wonderful thing about service is that it does not require a particular faith. Service enriches us and those around us no matter whether we are atheists, agnostics, Christians, Muslims, Hindus or Buddhists. All that is required is a love of mankind."
Of course, to Christians, there is an additional meaning. Service is a way to connect with God, with the spiritual within us and in others, a way to follow Jesus' example and to do God's will.
Service is not talking, service is not chanting, service is not thinking, theorizing, believing. Service is faith in action. Through service Christians are called

After Sept.11, visas hard to get for students' loved ones
By Leah Shaffer Kansas staff writer
People from the Middle East are having problems entering the United States to visit. Not being able to get visas has caused problems for University of Kansas students, their friends and their families.
Abdullah Abhatlan, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, junior, returned to the United States this semester without his roommate, a fellow Saudi Arabian. The roommate, whose name Abhatlan did not want printed, is stuck in his home country for a semester while waiting for a student visa renewal.
Abhatlani said that it took more than a month for him to receive his own visa and that his roommate would be able to return to the University by summer.
friend didn’t.
"I don't know why he got stuck there."
Abhtatlani said. "He has no problems.
He's an honest guy."
Before Sept. 11, the process of obtaining a visa was much faster. Abhatlani said. But he said there was no reason why he received a visa on time and his friend didn't.
Joe Potts, director of international student services, said that since November, U.S. consulates began requiring a 20-day waiting period for background checks on men from certain Middle Eastern countries who applied for visas. Potts said a common reason for rejection was that the applicant happened to have the same name as a person suspected of terrorist activity. He said that problem could be fixed, but it took time and the security-check process could not be rushed.
in process could not "We did tell students that went home for break that the renewal process could take
time." Potts said.
He said there was nothing International Student Services could do to help students who were caught up in the slow application process.
"The only thing they can do is apply early," he said.
Sally Shamieh, a graduate student from Beirut, Lebanon, said her fiancé in Lebanon wanted to apply for a student visa, because he could not get a visitor's visa in Lebanon.
Lebanon.
Potts said there were two types of visitor's visas: a tourist visa and an exchange visa. The tourist visa is usually issued in increments of 30 days. An exchange visitor visa can be any number of lengths, from a few months to a few years. Shamieh's fiancé did not try before Sept. 11 to obtain either type of visa.
type of vise.
"It usually hard to get a visa, but after Sept. 11 they can reject you without giving a reason." Shamik said.
She said it was going to be hard for her fiancé to obtain the visa, because he was a male in mid-20s from the Middle East, similar to the Sept. 11 hijackers. She said if his visa was rejected once, it would be even harder to obtain one later.
even harder to obtain. Shamieh said she had a Palestinian friend who was getting married in the United States, and not a single member of her family could make it because they could not get into the country with visitor's visas.
"After Sept. 11, things are going crazy," she said. "I completely understand, but it's not very fair."

Stranded students find few options in Lawrence during spring break
By Lauren Beatty
Kansan staff writer
For students not traveling to far away, exotic locales for spring break. Lawrence offers a few options to entertain the stranded.
options to entertain the staff Jeff Johnson, manager of the Cadillac Ranch, 2515 W. Sixth St., said his establishment was staying open while some other bars closed for the week.
"It's the same as the school year," he said. "We don't slow down."
don't slow down.
If students prefer a quieter evening and want to catch up on some of the Oscar-nominated films they've missed, Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St., will be showing Gosford Park and In the Bedroom during the break.
Cindy Kroll, box office attendant at Liberty Hall, said two concerts were also happening during the break that could draw a sizable crowd of spring breakers: Wu-Tang Clan on Saturday and Less Than Jake on Friday, March 22.
Yet students stuck in Lawrence may not have any time for fun. Daina Jablonski, Overland Park junior, said while she was going home, her friends weren't so lucky.
And students can look forward to the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade on Sunday. The parade winds its way down Massachusetts Street beginning at 2 p.m.
"I know a lot of people who are staying to work," she said.

EDITORIAL Learn from history; respect Haskell's land
The Trail of Tears marks a tragic time in the history of Native Americans. It was a time of sacrifice and suffering for more than 100,000 people, who were forced off their land in the southeastern portion of the United States.
Unfortunately it's just one example of the many times when Native Americans had to give up homelands and relocate to another state, leaving behind the traditions and ceremonies special to the land.
Their story and the many like it have taught us the importance of respect for Native Americans and the traditions they hold.
So why then after so many sad lessons from history would we want to construct the South Lawrence Trafficway, which would disturb sacred Native American land and the environmental sanctuary of the Baker Wetlands?
The controversial trafficway, which would connect U.S. Highway 59 and Noria Road, has hit another roadblock in anticipation of its much delayed completion.
The National Congress of American Indians passed a resolution that called for the halting and termination of the trafficway. The Congress, which represents more than 500 tribes, said the trafficway would destroy the cultural, historical and educational foundations of Haskell Indian Nations University.
lodge and prayer wheel. An extra five-minute commute on 23rd Street probably won't make much of a difference in most people's lives. However, the disturbance of graves and the noise from cars during ceremonies could affect Native Americans at Haskell in a significant manner.
The newest proposals would have the trafficway running either north or south of the Wakarusa River or not at all. The trafficway could disturb graves as well as a sweat lodge and prayer wheel.
The damage the trafficway could cause environmentally must also be considered. In one square mile alone, over 250 species of birds have been recorded by Roger Bovd, professor of biology at Baker University.
Extra traffic for Lawrence residents is a small price in comparison with the sacrifices Native Americans have made in the past and continue to make today.
The Wetlands Preservation Organization said the trafficway would create noise, pollution and habitat loss that would affect not only the portion the trafficway cut through, but the entire Baker Wetlands. According to the organization, 99 percent of the wetlands would be damaged.
With an estimated $90 to $100 million price tag, the Kansas Department of Transportation must be certain this trafficway has full community support. Environmental concerns and even the most recent opposition with the National Congress of American Indians opposing the trafficway are all signs that seem to say that the Kansas Department of Transportation needs to once again go back to the drawing board.

Actually, the Kansan is somewhat accurate. The Bible doesn't allow female clergy. So, if the Bible doesn't allow it, how can the Methodist church really be a church if it's trying to follow the Bible? It doesn't make sense. What's up with that?

Pass:
Professors who cancel classes on the Friday before spring break. Honestly, most students don't want to be there anyways. Thumbs up to teachers who recognize reality.
Tuition rally. The only problem with this opportunity for students to speak their minds about the tuition proposals is that it should have happened earlier.
Fail:
Quizzes on the Friday before spring break. It's just cruel when professors purposely force students to stick around longer than necessary before break. Come on, do you really have to give that five-point quiz tomorrow?
VH1. The cable music channel is slowly moving away from its roots (i.e. videos) and adding lots of other programming. Next thing you know, it'll be just like MTV. In other words, boring.
Celebration Task Force. Why do we need a task force to decide whether to cancel classes if Kansas wins the NCAA men's basketball championship? Most people wouldn't go anyway, and this task force is a great way of jinxing the Jayhawks' chances of going all the way.
PERSPECTIVE
Students must protect their rights as free speech on campuses falters
Institutions of higher education are not guaranteed safe places for free speech any more.
For two days in a row in November 1999, almost all 4,600 copies of Texas Christian University's Daily Skiff were stolen. It was suspected that the thefts were related to a school election and that the culprit was a disgruntled candidate.
At the University of Wisconsin protesters stormed the office of a campus newspaper that had printed thread. Staffers of the Badger Herald eventually locked themselves in after being cornered by the protesters—the paper did not apologize for
Is a daughter?
Since March 2001, former leftist radical turned conservative David Horowitz has sent an ad entitled "10 Reasons Why Reparations for Blacks Is a Bad Idea for Blacks — And Racist Too" to 72 college newspapers. The ad has been printed by 28 of them; the Kansan has not received the ad. At UC Berkeley the editor of the Daily Californian wrote a front-page apology in response to protests that the paper was a conduit for racism.

running the ad. Later that spring, Horowitz was invited to speak at Berkeleybut was booed off the stage.
During a graduation ceremony at California State University this past December, Sacramento Bee editor Janis Besler Healphy was heckled off the stage during her speech on civil liberties.The post-Sept. 11 crowd was in no mood to hear an address regarding the importance of preserving civil liberties and free speech in America. While she spoke through some of the foot stomping and booing, she eventually had to cut her speech short.
COMMENTS
After conservatives at Berkeley published a criticism of the group in their paper, the California Patriot, all 3,000 copies of the paper were stolen, costing almost $2,000. Members of the conservative group have also received death threats in the past weeks.
In recent days, members of the Berkeley Conservative Foundation have been harassed by a Chicano group called Movimiento Estudianil Chicano de Aztlan. The group distributed a flier urging revolution against "gringos" and reclamation of their stolen land.

threats in the past weeks. Last December at Ohio State University, the Muslim Student Association posted an e-mail newsletter on the school's Internet server that urged a holy war against America. Although the university initially refused to halt the organization's access to the server on the grounds of free speech, the group was removed last month.
These are just a few examples of the many incidents that are occurring on college campuses all over America. Students — and all too often professors and administrators — are denying others the right to publicly express their views.
The degree to which such acts are committed by liberals is particularly disturbing. The left exerts a bold presence on college campuses, yet its calls for diversity are often unheeded.
It is frightful when the left betrays its own ideals by engaging in both McCarthyist slander and fascist righteousness. As the majority on most college campuses, liberals have power. Too often, this power is used to silence opponents. Paper stealing, book burning, preventing conservatives from speaking or appearing on campuses — these things occur at American schools.
Leftists are not the only group at fault. Intellectual cowards of all persuasions are suppressing speech when they are afraid to engage in democratic dialogue.

PERSPECTIVE
NCAA brackets part of our culture
It's time once again to throw out anything significant in your life and dedicate the focus of your attention to something that's as much a part of this country's tradition as apple pie and Denny's — brackets. Not the brackets of the income tax sort, but rather of the NCAA Tournament sort.
Whether you are an avid college basketball fan or just an occasional viewer, those quirky brackets possess the pizzazz to drive the least dedicated fan to claim that he or she is a scholar of college hoops. And if you don't agree with his or her picks, you are completely messed up in the head.
Brackets are filled out by people from Anchorage, Ala., to Tallahassee. Fla., and are an office staple
see, Hal, and the rest. Since I was but a wee fifth-grader, I have participated in a
bracket pool. Even then I found it stupid that kids who obviously didn't know what they were talking about could be so confident in their picks. It was quite commonplace to hear the playground bully say something like, "I can't believe you picked Arkansas over North Carolina! Are you a moron?!"
The saddest part of this whole scenario is that I find the same sort of thing happening today, and not just with kids, but adults too. Yes, there are hardcore college basketball fans who know the ins and outs of each team and if they want to display their knowledge, I have no problem.

name. And how do I know this?
Because I'm one of you.
There, the secret is out. I'm not going to lie. I definitely consider myself a KU fan and I know a fair amount about the teams in the Big 12.
But as for the rest of college basketball, I usually pick teams based on which name I like more. The thing is, I don't claim to know a lot and therefore don't knock other people's picks.
Judging by the information I just disclosed, you shouldn't find it surprising that I end up in last place almost every year. But to that I say, "Last place, shmast place." While everyone is crying that the upsets that they picked didn't happen, I'm having a ball of a time saying the word "Gonzaga" in my head over and over.
So here's some advice to anyone participating in a bracket pool this year. Make your picks, keep your mouth shut and just watch the tournament. If your picks are as good as you think they are, you will win the tournament and you won't have to brag.
Oh, and one more piece of advice - pick McNeese State. It's going places.

"Whether you're 21 or not, if you're on campus with alcohol, you will be arrested."
In fact, anyone breaking laws, including damage to property, would be arrested, he said.
"If the Jawhackys win, that's wonderful. People will come out and celebrate," Bailey said. "That's fine, but we have to maintain order and safety."
Part of the plan to maintain safety includes Watkins Memorial Health Center.
Carol Seager, director of the Watkins, said the health center would be open after the Final Four games if the Jayhawks won.
Watkins will also be open after the championship game if the Jayhawks play.

Justen Phelps, Wichita senior and co-chairperson of KU Students for Life, said that he thought both sides of the issue had good arguments, but that he was in favor of it because it would help crisis pregnancy centers.
"I don't think that it makes sense for abortion rights advocates to raise a fuss over this issue because it isn't directed at the legality of abortion," he said.
Ethan Fosse, Manhattan senior and member of the KU Green Party, said that he was bothered by the legislation because it only had the Choose Life option on the license plate.
"The state shouldn't endorse just one side of the issue," he said.
Ted Frederickson, professor of journalism and attorney, who teaches First Amendment and Society at KU, said if the law passed, the state government would have to make specialty license plates available to anyone who could get 500 orders and it could become a forum for public debate.
"Since the First Amendment forbids government from favoring one political message over another, legislators may soon see Kansas license plates they don't like very much," he said.
Frederickson said hate groups might request a license plate as well.
But Rep. Hayzlett said he still needed to hear debate on the bill before he decided if the transportation board would consider it. He said that he would give it a fair hearing, but that he would stop considering specialty license plates if there were too many for the state to manage.

Kansas can't do if it doesn't want an early exit from the tournament. The Jayhawks won't survive if they score a season-low 19 points and turn the ball over 12 times in the first-half, and if they shoot a season-low 33.3 percent from the field like they did against the Sooners.

Kansas needs its superstars to show up. Gooden scored 22 points and grabbed 15 rebounds against Oklahoma, but he committed six turnovers, too. Nick Collison, an Honorable Mention All-American, was solid with 15 points and 13 rebounds Sunday, but the junior forward sometimes gets in early foul trouble and becomes a non-factor.
Another Honorable Mention All-American, junior guard Kirk Hinrich, missed all 10 of his shots against Oklahoma. Jeff Boschsee, the Big 12's all-time leading three-point shooter, was two of eight from behind the arc and has scored just six points in his last two games.

Seven swimmers sacrifice spring break for Minnesota, Senior Nationals

Kansan sportswriter
Seven Kansas swimmers are giving up their spring breaks to compete in the U.S. Swimming Senior Nationals meet. The meet is the highest level of amateur competition in a year when there are no Olympic Trials. The meet is not associated with the NCAA Championships.

"We're doing it to keep our ladies on the national scene," coach Cathy Burgess said. "It's also a meet we like to recruit from."
The meet is open to swimmers of any age as long as they are amateurs, which means many club teams are represented.

"There are future Olympians that swim at this meet," Haley said. "It's also fun to see people from our home teams."

nice to finally reach a goal," Johnson said. "I've never been close enough before. I've dropped a lot of time this year."
For Kansas, faring well at Senior Nationals is the next step the program needs to take. It's not an accident that four freshmen, two sophomores, and one junior are representing Kansas in this year's meet.
"I had hoped to make NCAAs." Haley said, referring to the NCAA Championships. "To do well at Seniors is the next stepping stone to getting to NCAAs."

Raiders replace Gruden with assistant
The Associated Press
ALAMEDA, Calif. — Having let Jon Gruden go to Tampa Bay, the Oakland Raiders replaced him with an assistant coach who has shadowed Gruden for the past seven years.
Bill Callahan, who was promoted from offensive coordinator to head coach, said yesterday he didn't plan to change much of the system Gruden presided over during the last four years as Raiders coach.
"Jon and I are very similar in a lot of respects — our work ethic, our intensity," said Cahlan, who has never been a head coach at any level. "The system itself will not change. The day-to-day functions will not change."
One thing that will change is the personality of the Raiders' head coach.
Gruden was theatrically intense on the sidelines, throwing tantrums and glaring at players and officials. Callahan, 45, who moved with Gruden from Philadelphia to Oakland in 1998, is studious and laid-back.
studios and I have “I've been very detail-oriented over the last 25 years,” Callahan said. "I'm not concerned about the effect of charisma. I'm more concerned about our team being charismatic on the field."
By promoting from within the system, Raiders owner Al Davis appears to have reasserted control over the team he has guided for nearly four decades. Gruden came to the Raiders as an outsider, and his relationship with Davis was strained at times.
The same applied to Mike Shanahan, who had a difficult 16 games in 1988 and 1989 and later led Denver to two Super Bowl victories.
As a sign of who now holds the real power on the Raiders, Davis sat on a silver and black armchair — which looked very much like a throne — during the news conference announcing Callahan's promotion.
Callahan sat on a black and white folding chair, as did Raiders executives Bruce Allen and Amy
And while Davis' tumbler with a silver and black Raiders logo was filled with water, Callahan, Allen and Trask each got only a half-filled glass.
Trask.
Callahan will be making a lot less money than his former boss is making now.
Gruden signed a five-year, $17.5 million contract with the Buccaneers in February despite being in the final year of his deal with the Raiders. As compensation, Oakland got four draft picks and $8 million.
Though the Raiders and Callahan's agent refused to discuss details of the contract, it is thought to be a three-year deal for $1 million annually — among the lowest in the NFL — plus a two-year club option.
Callahan was an assistant coach at Illinois, Northern Arizona. Southern Illinois and Wisconsin before joining the Eagles in 1995 as offensive line coach. Gruden was Philadelphia's offensive coordinator.
Callahan inherits a team that has won two straight AFC West titles and has one of the NFLs most potent offenses, but has aging players at several key positions and has had some off-field problems.
Defensive lineman Darrell Russell is serving a one-year drug suspension and was arrested last month and changed with 25 felonies as an accomplice connected to an alleged sexual assault.
After Gruden left for Tampa Bay, Davis said he made Callahan "captain" of the remaining coaches to see how he'd handle running the team during the free agent signing period. He named him coach on Tuesday.
Raiders officials always have claimed the NFL, which has fought a series of legal battles with Davis, is out to get the Raiders.
"He knows the pressure this job entails," Davis said. "He knows what it is to coach the Raiders."

The Jayhawks are riding a seven-game winning streak, the longest of the season. Bunge said the pitching, especially in last weekend's 4-0 outing in the Kansas Holiday Inn Invitational, was a major step in the right direction.

Jayhawks are ready to get it on
VCUA
Yep, it's that time again, and today the Jayhawks start their way over to the other side of the gym.
ST.LOUIS-Shall we dance?
You know, like at a junior high spring fling where the boys are on one side guzzling punch and the girls are on the other chatting by the bleachers.
CHRISTINA NEFF/KANSAN Kansas forward Drew Gooden shoots during practice last night at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis. Gooden was named an All-American Tuesday.
chatting by the mound. It's been 50 years since Kansas, behind Clyde Lovellette's best Fred Astaire imitations, won it all as a higher-seeded team.
Since then, there have been way too many Sadie Hawkins moments to forget.
Ugh, like 1992 when that quick southwestern seductress, Texas-El Paso, chacha-ed us right off the floor.
Sure, there was 1991 and 1993 when the Jayhawks were close. But Kansas was like the best man at Duke and North Carolina's wedding during the dollar dance. A little of the spotlight with the blushing bride can be shared, but only after the groom has taken his wife in his arms for that first dance.
Who can forget 1997 and 1998, when Roy and the boys not only had spitshined their finest dress shoes to a highgloss finish, but were ready to take their ladies by the hand. Yet again, they were sashayed by those little darlings who decided to quicken the pace.
There have been others — lots of them. Like the 1986 team, which behind its best mix tape, had bebopped all the way to the Final Four before Duke busted its move.
Not this year. This team can groove.
Yeah, I know they're coming off a loss to Oklahoma.
But that game was kind of like a night at the Yacht Club, where you know it's going to be a long one when that drunk chick pops up and starts slurring in your face before grinding all over you on the floor.
before going down.
That was one game — the Jayhawks' worst game of the season — but Kansas won't let that sad song make them miss a beat.
Take Drew Gooden, you want hip-hop; the "truth" can break it down. But Kansas' first All-American since 1998 also can kick it to a Finnish folk tune. Or how about Kirk Hinrich, not too many femininas will steal the pace from him. Nick Collison's best move is the classic waltz, as he can score with deceptive ease and grace, and Jeff Boschee has a sweet symphonic shot like that of a beautiful swan's song.
What about Wayne Simien, a physical player that always raises a sweat? Keith Langford is a jazzy swinger that has provided plenty of key steps. And finally point guard Aaron Miles, who at times has sung the blues as a true freshman starter, but then again the blues aren't necessarily a bad thing.
By my account there are no ladies in the Midwest that should keep up.
Holy Cross, not even with the Pope's prerogative, will become the first 16-seed to defeat a No.1.
Ah, the second round you say, I say one player a team does not make. So unless Stanford's Casey Jacobsen or Western Kentucky's Chris Marcus pour enough Everclear into that punch, the Jayhawks will continue to shuffle their feet.
with Conn. 16 is where Illinois dirt-danced Kansas out of the tourney a year ago and the two could spin again in Madison, Wis.
Then, the first line:
A victory there leaves the Final Four,
but I think the 'Hawks have enough funk in their trunks for that.
Then, the elusive rhythms of the Elite Eight.
And how cool would it be to watch Williams and Gooden doing the Charleslston at the center of Georgia Dome's floor April 1?

'Hawks wary of tourney mistakes
After the Jayhawks' defeat to Oklahoma, they now know what it takes to be No.1
By Doug Pacey Kansan sportswriter
ST. LOUIS — Every college basketball team has goals. Some are realistic and others are like skipping class for a month and expecting an A — they're not going to happen.
Teams try not to overstate their ambitions, but the national championship — no matter how talented or over-matched a school is — is what they all covet.
But starring in the "One Shining Moment" commercial after the NCAA Tournament Championship game is something that only a handful of the 64 tournament teams have a legitimate chance at doing.
legitimate character in a story.
So, "what does it take to be No.
1?" It just so happens Kansas is in the right place to find out. St. Louis' own hip-hop sensation Nelly posed that very question in a chart-topping ditty titled No. 1 a couple months back.
While phat beats and catchy phrases helped the multi-platinum album selling artist become one of America's hottest hip-hop acts "Country Grammar" won't give the Jayhawks anything more than something to swagger to in the locker room.
Drew Gooden might have had more bounce in his step after winning Big 12 Player of the Year honors earlier this month and being named an All-American Tuesday. Yet that's not the case because the junior forward has grander ideas in mind.
has grander ideas in mind.
"We're capable of making the Final Four and winning the national championship," he said. "When we do that, that's when I'll celebrate."
that's when I celebrate.
Kansas, the Midwest Region's No 1 seed, will get a chance to forge ahead tonight when the N. 2-ranked Jayhawks (29-3 overall, 18-1 Big 12 Conference) face No. 16 seed Holy Cross (18-14 overall, 9-5 Patriot League) at 6:50 p.m. at the Edward Jones Dome in the first-round of the NCAA Tournament.

Sudden-death victory helps golf team improve its game
CONTRIBUTES
By Ryan Greene
Kansan Sportswriter
Last weekend, the Kansas women's golf team showed signs that it had made vast improvements off of its slow start in the fall.
Rose won the tournament in dramatic fashion by winning a two-hole sudden death playoff with Wendy Gray from Sam Houston State University and Laurie Vescovo from University of Arkansas-Little Rock.
What was impressive was not the seventh place finish the team recorded at the Waterwood National Women's Spring Invitational in Huntsville, Texas, but the first-place overall individual finish of junior Heather Rose.
"The course played really hard," Rose said. "I am pleased with my shots. I was really nervous during the playoff, but I felt very confident and it worked out for me."

worked out for me. Rose's victory was her first individual tournament victory at the collegiate level
Junior golfer Heather Rose placed first individually at the Waterwood Nation Women's Spring Invitational in Huntsville, Texas. Kansas placed seventh out of seventeen at the tournament.
"Each tournament, someone different is stepping up to the plate, and that works into our team concept."
Hollingsworth said. "We need four out of our five players competing to play well in order for us to do good things as a team."
Other Kansas golfers who competed in the tournament included junior Jill MacDonald, who shot a 3-round total of 241, good for a tie in ninth place; sophomore Jennifer Bawanan, who finished in a tie for 32nd place with a score of 253; and junior Kristy Straub, who ended up in a tie or 51st place after scoring a total of 260. Junior Tiffany Kruggel was disqualified during the first round, but shot an 89 in the third round that was good enough to put her in a tie for 84th place.
"We haven't played an easy course yet this spring, and we've played in some very tough weather conditions while hanging in like never before," said Hollingsworth. "That's a real credit to our level of maturity."
The team will not return to action until Thursday, March 21, when they will take on College of Charleston in a head to head match in Myrtle Beach, S.C.

Holy Cross hopes to defy NCAA history
By Brent Wasko
Kansan sportswriter
Holy Cross, which has an 18-14 overall record, opened the season with high expectations, returning six players from last year's squad that came just four points shy of beating No. 2-seeded Kentucky in the NCAA Tournament.
St. Louis — The No. 16-seed Holy Cross Crusaders have had a wild season, and they hope it will get even crazier today with an upset of the No. 1 seed Kansas Jayhawks in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
The Crusaders began their 2001-02 campaign by losing 12 of their first 20 games before everything started to turn around for the better. The team claimed victories in 10 of its last 12 games and qualified for this year's NCAA Tournament by winning the Patriot League Tournament.
Patriot League Crusaders' largest test awaits — a Jayhawk team ranked No. 2 in the country and boasting the nation's most potent offense (92 points per game).
Kansas' strengths have been well documented, but Holy Cross has some weapons of its own, including a solid defense.
potential (62 pointy). "Going into the Kentucky game last year, we had three tough seniors and I thought we were going to be able to beat them." Holy Cross coach Ralph Willard said. "This is a different situation."
"We understand that we're playing a great team and we have to do things in a particular manner to beat them." Willard said. "I don't see a weakness in their队."

their team.
The Crusaders aren't exactly strangers to the NCAA Tournament. Holy Cross won the national championship in 1947 by defeating Oklahoma 55-47 in Madison Square Garden.
But that was then and this is now. No team with the No. 16 seed has ever defeated a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Crusaders realize they will have to play the game of their lives if they hope to make history.
"We have to do a lot praying, being from Holy Cross," senior guard Ryan Serravalle said. "Definitely, it will be a test, but that's why you play the game."
Kansas and Holy Cross will battle it out at approximately 6:50 tonight at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis.

Lawrence pubs will be serving Guinness by the pint on St. Patty's
By Brad Weiner Jayplay writer
Sunday is the annual celebration of St. Patrick's Day. A day when Americans celebrate the Irish by wearing green, marching in parades and heading to the local pub for a few pints of delicious black stout.
Options abound for opaque Irish stouts such as Murphy's Irish Stout and Beamish, but there is none so cherished in the folklore and taste buds of
the world as Guinness.
"I love Guinness because it's smooth, and it makes me look like a badass when Idrinkit," Lya Gillott, Omaha, Neb., senior said.
No other beverage on the planet — aside from Coca-Cola — is as revered as the brew created at St. James Gate in Dublin, Ireland. The brewery opened in 1759 when Arthur Guinness decided that the water that drips from the Wicklow Mountains would be perfect for his brewing endeavors. Guinness was so convinced that his location was ideal, he signed a lease on the property that extended for 9,000 years.
Arthur Guinness was.
GUINNESS
Arthur Guinness was, in his own right, the Bill Gates of the Irish beer trade in the 18th century. He saw that there was a market for darker beers called "porters" that were popular in England. By roasting the barley at higher temperatures, Guinness actually outdid the British brewers with his dark ruby colored "stout" driving many of them from business and effectively expanding his empire. It continues to grow today.
Guinness — the beer — was
embraced by the Irish working class and its cultural legacy expanded from there. The brew is now sold in 150 countries and brewed in 51 countries. Some of the more bizarre locations that it's possible to score a pint are in the frozen tundra of Siberia, the blazing wasteland of Death Valley, Calif., and in the shadow of Mount Everest in Katmandu, Nepal, which has 150 area Irish pubs. But its home is on the Emerald Isle, where pints are cold, creamy and cost around £2.35
But there's no need to travel a great distance to find a pint — plenty of places in Lawrence can quench a thirst for the blond lady wearing the black dress.
According to the Guinness Web site, www.guinness.com, pouring a Guinness is a simple task. First, start with a clean pint glass, preferably one embossed with a Guinness emblem. Hold the glass at a 45-degree angle and pour the beer down the side until the glass is about two-thirds full.
Next, hold the glass upright and leave it on the bar to settle. After the head has drifted to the top, keep the glass upright and fill the rest. The process should take about two minutes.

1. Rum Solomy & the Lash — The Pogues, 1985. Fusing Celtic folk principles with the aggression of punk, the Pogues tear through songs of love, regret and hard living. Many of the band's lyrics came straight from the vice-ridden
Just in case you're in the mood to rock out to something a little more reminiscent of the Emerald Isle this year, here are some of the records I like to play to jump-start a few Celtic moods.

COMMENTARY
life of frontman Shane MacGowan, whose trademark excess and world-weary vo
Elvis Costello, who produced Rum Sodomy & the Lash, is said to have been quite meticulous in trying to capture the band's raw sound. On brilliantly ramshackle turbo-jigs like the opening track, "The Sick Bed Of Cuchulainn," the unpolished feel makes all the difference.
2. Swagger — Flogging Molly, 1999
When the '80s subsided, Dublin native Dave King, lead singer of Motorhead guitarist Eddie Clarke's side project, Fastway, cut his bonny red locks in favor of a crewcut and formed Flogging Molly in L.A. in the late '90s.
Taking up where the Pogue's punkfolk left off, Flogging Molly takes traditional folk instruments like mandolin, fiddle and tin whistle and up the ante with brash, distorted guitar chugging and pulverized drums keeping the light-speed pace.
King's shrill, heavily accented vocals tell tales of drinking, dying, dancing and making it through another day while the band's abrasive concoction of the electric and the indigenous is like a knock to the skull with a Shillelagh.
3. 22 Golden Shamrocks — Patrick O'Hagan, 1977. While you're not going to want to listen to this collection of traditional Irish folk songs all the time, the
short, speedy 22 cuts on this album can be pretty fun after everyone has had a chance to partake in the beer flow. O'Hagan's powerful tenor can be delicate and harrowing on guitar and piano tunes like "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling," but when it's time to throw down, as they say, he really knows how to drag out the obligatory pre-chorus "O" that can turn an ordinary rendition of "Wearin' of the Green" into a fever-pitched sing-along.
The only problem is about half of the songs feature unbearable cheesy backup singers, but as long as you're quick on the needle, 22 Golden Shamrocks could very likely get some glasses in the air.
However you choose to celebrate St. Patrick's Day this year, try enhancing it with some rowdy Irish sounds. Just be sure to save "Danny Boy" 'til closing time.

HOROSCOPES
You've had the ideas, drawn up the plans and built up your self-confidence. Now, it's time to ask for the money. Whatever you want it for is justified, so you'll probably get it. Don't spend it all in one place.
Today's Birthday (March 11).
S
P
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 6. Do you feel yourself getting stronger? It should happen any moment now. You're confident yet gentle, inspired to protect. Inside that tough exterior beats a brave heart. Stand up for somebody who needs you.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7.
P
Two people.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7.
Did you tell a friend or loved one you'd do something, then forget? It doesn't happen often, but maybe you'd better check. Even if you're late, you'll save face if you do it before being nagged.
Crab
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6. Your goals are nowhere near big enough if you can accomplish them all by yourself. You need a team, and they're all around you. All they want to do is play. Give them direction.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7.
Your mind may have a tendency to wander this morning. This could lead to embarrassment. Don't forget to provide something a cranky person expects. You know how he/she gets!
Leo (Julv 23-Auq, 22). Today is a 7.
Your attention is beginning to turn from practical matters to fun. Better finish getting your supplies so that you can take off on your next adventure. Don't forget something important, like food. Better to have it than wish you did.
LOVE
Virgo (Auo. 23-Sep. 22). Today is a 6.
女
Better discuss an investment you've been contemplating with your partner. It's not a good idea to spend the money before you're sure it's going toward the right thing. Mistakes can be expensive.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 6.
SOCIAL LAW ENTREPRISE
No need to feel overwhelmed for long. Friends would love to help, so tell them what you want. You're the one with the idea, but one of them will show you how to make it happen.
Scorpion
O
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is an 8. You're getting into the "hard work" part of the process. Sure, dreams can come true, but vivid fantasies are not enough. Elbow grease is also required.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 7.
It's amazing how just being quiet can sometimes lead to profound insights. Love is the answer again, of course.
Cleaning
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 7. This'll be a good night for a family meeting. If anybody's got hurt feelings, it should be easy to tell. Love is strong, so understanding can't be far behind.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18). Today is a 7. You may run out of ideas soon, but that's OK. You know where to find more, and searching for them is one of your passions. This next part's going to be very interesting.
**riseses** (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is an 8. You're wise and compassionate already. Would it be OK to also be rich? Accept a promotion or raise that you've earned - or, if that's not happening, a whole better job. You're worth it.
Dealing with bad sex: sexpert's helpful hints
Bad sex comes like a twister on a sunny spring day.
One minute you're goin' after it without a care in the world, and then the next you're left trying to salvage pieces of your sexual dignity out of the destroyed remnants of your ego.
Whether it's a case of trying to play pool with a rope, the never ending too-drunk hump or an audible expulsion of air or gas, the embarrassment of even a minor sexual situational problem can seem never ending.
But even though your first response to a less-
than-stellar shag might be to wish for anything — even spontaneous human combustion — to take you and your naked parts far away from the situation, panicking is not the answer. In fact, it's your last option — reserved for those especially creative sexual adventures that lead to Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
switch to change.
SEX COLUMN
Stuff like farting, queefing or attempting a sexual position that ends up looking nothing like it did in the book can require nothing more than a mutual giggle to fix.
These problems are the sex-stoppers and can include the clamping down of the vaginal walls or falling down of the penis — both of which make penetration quite a neat, and possibly lucrative trick — to the freak-out fest that might accompany "surprising" your partner with a new toy, trick or partner.
Sex, while feeling marvelous, often can look goofy, sound strange and get you good and messy. Instead of worrying about the little things, just let go and have fun. If your partner ditches you for klutziness or normal bodily functions, you probably don't want to be with that person anyway — he or she is way too unight.
In all actuality, most problematic sexual situations can be resolved easily.
Meghan Bainum
mbainum@kansan.com
Sometimes, though, you get hit with a problem that takes more than a little laughter and position
In the case of a petered-out penis or shut-tight vagina, creativity is your answer—especially if the owner of the organ is nervous. A little oral activity or some hot and heavy playing around can help
things along quickly. And, although a therapy session isn't the answer most of the time — a little talking never hurts.
Talking also is the best way to avoid prying your partner off the ceiling after the surprise debut of some spicy, double-sided sex aide. No need to spoil the
surprise, but be sure to test the waters first — especially if your sexual something is a six-footer with a luscious mouth and silky blonde hair.
If sexual catastrophes keep coming and no amount of talking or oral action is going to help, head to Watkins Health Center or LMH. Sometimes something more than sexual tension could be involved.
Just remember. Bad sex is only bad if you let it be. With a calm head and a little compassion, you too can emerge from the storm shelter of life with genitals — and pride — intact.
Good relationship with folks could lead to good sex life
Nothing to do during Spring Break? E-mail Meghan at mbainum@kansan.com
In her book Intimate Relationships, psychologist Sharon S. Brehm suggests that our interpersonal relationships with our parents directly affects the successes of our romantic relationships. This means that the soundness of our romantic lives has some connection to how well we get along with our mothers and fathers.
In the tumultuous years of college, these relationships can be hellish and far from normal.
We need to feel comfortable talking with parents about the things that trouble us, and that includes sex. Most college students seem to tense
up when the topic comes up in conversation with parents. While it is okay to discuss a friend's sex life while gossiping, seldom is a child's own sex life discussed with his or her parent.
I fall on the opposite end of this spectrum. My parents have always been pretty open with me about sex, and I think I've benefited from it.
This is not to say I ran into the house every time I had a particularly good date and threw back a cold one while bragging about it to my parents. This just means when the time for me to talk to them came, I knew I could.
"I could never talk about sex with my parents," my roommate told me. "That would just be weird."
"My mom and dad don't know I have sex," another friend told me. "And I'm going to keep it that way."

father first thought I was having sex. My mother handed me a roll of condoms. "I'm not saying I approve," she warned. "But if you're doing it, I at least want you to be safe."
My father wasn't always eloquent, but at least he was honest.
This honesty helps me now. This sex talk wasn't the last one with my parents, but it was certainly the most difficult.
Then dad chimed in with his piece. "And if you run out, don't let a trip to the drug store ruin your chances to go to college."
Although awkward at first, I gradually became more comfortable talking to my parents about sex and actually learned from the talks.
"Yeah," my father said. "Don't be getting no stuff on the seat of my pickup truck."
"Anvthing else?" I asked, mortified.
probably do know their children are having sex. They would be fools not to believe their young and perfectly healthy children didn't have natural urges. In fact, many parents would probably be worried if they knew their children weren't having sex.
If your parent or parents
know nothing about your sex life, and you'd like to keep it that way, that is a perfectly respectable decision. So is keeping an open mind for the future.
Your parents and relatives have likely already faced problems you are likely to soon be facing. Why has he stopped wanting sex as much? What do I if i think she's cheating on me? How come my partner never seems satisfied?
For most people it is easy to ask your parents for advice about finances or careers — but keep your mind open to other kinds of advice as well.
I feel good knowing I have someone to talk to if these types of questions ever come up in my life. I hope others can foster positive relationships so they can have this comfort as well.

Oscars can cap off fun spring break
Spring break ending doesn't mean the fun is over. When your trip on a tropical beach or a snow-capped chateau is over, the Academy Awards can help you earn back the money you spent on vacation. The 74th annual Academy Awards airs 7 p.m. Sunday, March 24.
You can squeeze the last fun out of the week and reap the benefits of a few bets placed on an Oscars show that is more wide open then it has been in years.
Here are the odds on the movies from www.intertops.com. Shake the snow or sand from your toes, make one last batch of margaritas, and let the betting begin.
Best Supporting Actress: After being snubbed last year for Requiem for a Dream, Jennifer Connelly has more than earned her statuette. She is a 1:4 favorite for A Beautiful Mind. However, Marisa Tomei, 7:1, should be the one giving the acceptance speech at the end of the night. Her performance in In the Bedroom was absolutely breathtaking.
Best Supporting Actor: If the Golden Globes are an indicator for the Oscars, then Jim Broadbent is the front runner to win for his role in *Iris*, 1:1. Double down on the horrendously evil Ben Kingsley, 3:2, for his role in *Sexy Beast*. He not only gave the most commanding performance of the year, but he showed his incredible ability to stretch from playing Ghandi to playing one of the most despicable characters ever.
Best Director: No doubts that the Oscar will go to Robert Altman, 2:1, for Gosford Park. Sure, Ridley Scott, 8:1, almost cried last year after not winning, but Altman earned the accolade. The directing of the opening titles for Gosford Park alone is worth the price of admission. After numerous snubs, this will be the year the cards fall Altman's way.
Best Actress: In the closest race of the year, Nicole Kidman, 5:2, will be the queen of the evening. Moulin Rouge could not have been the film that it is without Kidman. Sissy Spacek, 4:5, showed the academy in In The Bedroom that she still has what it takes to move an audience, but it is the same type of role that wins year after year. Although this category is the most competitive, none of the other women, let alone any other actress in Hollywood, could have filled a movie role like Kidman.
Best Actor: The joker in the deck this year is Billy Bob Thornton. It's a joke that he gave the two best performances of the year in The Man Who Wasn't There and Monster's Ball, and still was left off the list. However, if you want to take a risk, throw some money down on Tom Wilkinson, an 8:1 favorite, because everyone in In The Bedroom is deserving of an award.
Best Picture: If you need to make up for at least some of the money lost this break, put some down on A Beautiful Mind. 4:5 — it has all of the makings of an Oscar-winning film. But the winner this year could be the film that has more colors and showgirls than Vegas — Moulin Rouge, a 9:2 favorite. It is coming off a recent push from the Producer's Guild Awards, whose predictions have been money nine of the last 12 years.

gallows. In this particular pub, the baren carve a noose into the foam — a haunting image in the inmates' last minutes — before heading to the great brewery in the sky. When Baker pours pints at the Lyon, she carves a small shamrock in the foam before sending it across the bar.
The popular culture surrounding Guinness is a two-century old tapestry that involves some interesting characters. James Joyce wrote frequently about the brew at St. James Gate, and Robert Louis Stevenson brought pints with him on his voyage to the Samoa Islands where he wrote Treasure Island.
A recent mention of the beer is in the fast paced Guy Ritchie film Snatch, where the hardened gangster Bullet Tooth Tony walks into a pub and orders a pint of "the black stuff." Unfortunately for Tony, the pint is only partially filled when two masked gunmen enter the room and threaten his life. In actuality, the men pose no real threat to Tony, who casually tells them to "piss off," so he
Guinness is the lifeblood of a good Irish pub, which is also home to good conversations and warm people.

Woman arrested for possession of drugs during court session
VANCOUVER, Wash. — A woman who was trying to keep her boyfriend out of jail wound up in the slammer after a packet of methamphetamine fell out of her pocket in court, officials said.
ODDITIES
The episode occurred Tuesday during a hearing in Clark County Superior Court for Randy Lee Baker, 33, accused of failing to pay court fines.
She was jailed without bail pending a court appearance.
"She was gesturing with her hands, which had been in her pockets, and when she took them out the baggie flew out," court clerk Julie Brown said. "The poor defendant, he just covered his face with his hands and shook his head."
The sewage began leaking from a utility room connected to the orchestra room right before the performance. But the doors to the room were closed to fend off the stench, and the show went on.
High school play interrupted by massive raw sewage leak
OCONOMOWOC, Wis. — A performance of The Wizard of Oz at Oconomowoc High School turned ugly when 300 gallons of raw sewage leaked into a room next to the school auditorium.
"The kids did an incredible job, especially since it was extremely stinky," said Betsy Freeman, who helped create the costumes for Thursday's play.
The area was cleaned with anti-bacterial products during the weekend.
District Superintendent Greg Maass said the problem could happen again because of the building's age. He hoped residents would approve construction of a new school.

2 Bone Marrow Changes
Bone marrow changes may be associated with a decrease in the amount of mineral stored in bone. This could increase your risk of developing bone fractures. The rate of bone marrow loss is greatest in the early years of DEPO-PROVERA use but after that, it begins to resensitize the normal rate of age related bone mineral loss.
**Unspecified Pregnancy**
Because DECOPROVERA is such an attractive contraceptive method the risk of accidental pregnancy for women using it gets their shots regularly (every 1 month [3 weeks]) is very low. The pregnancy rates of an increased risk of low birth weight and neonatal infant death or other health problems in infants concerned close to the time of infection are uncommon.

Band needs 'no lesson' in music
Bain's De
By Louise Stauffer Jayplay writer
Aaron Lerner, Mission Hills senior, Danny Herrmann, Wilmette, Ill., junior, Chris Cardwell, Lawrence resident, and Jeff Goldford, St. Louis, Mo., junior, form the band No Lessons. The band recently recorded its first CD and is gearing up to tour the Midwest this summer.
JILLIAN THORPE/KANSAN
Unlike some band names, No Lessons doesn't need a deep explanation: Two of the members can't read music.
But that's not a problem for the band that released its first CD last week while opening for Tim Mahoney at Abe and Jake's Landing, Eight E. Sixth St. With a summer full of touring, and the single "Maybe So" about to play on radio station 96.5 The Buzz, it looks like No Lessons may be doing the teaching.
Lead vocalist and guitarist Jeff Goldford,
St. Louis junior, and vocalist and keyboardist
Danny Herrmann, Wilmette, Ill., junior,
began picking guitar tunes together on a porch last summer.
"That night was the first night I'd ever played," Goldford said. "And we ended up writing two songs."
Goldford said they realized their music would appeal to a varied audience when 45-year-olds liked the same songs their peers did.
Herrmann said they began playing more, and people began to pay attention to their music.
"Our friends backed us up from the beginning," he said. "It's because of them that we're this far."
No Lessons officially became a band when harmonica player Aaron Lerner, Mission Hills senior, and percussionist Chris Cardwell, Lincoln sophomore, came into the picture.
"When Aaron came into the equation, he really got us focused," Goldford said. "Since he'd been in other bands he would try to change and improve each show a little bit." Lerner is also a Kansan photographer.
Cardwell occasionally played acoustic guitar before getting together with Goldford and Herrmann. He decided to join when they saw him play and approached him about the idea. Charlie Rose, Leawood junior, occasionally plays bass guitar with the band.
The members know that to succeed, they must have a common goal: success. Herrmann said the members were committing their time to the band to make it successful.
"We've recently been putting our hearts into it," he said. "We've been advancing, putting our opinions out there, and sifting through them all."
Vocalists Goldford and Herrmann add personality to each show by cracking jokes and doing impersonations and improptu skits between songs.
Cardwell said he acted less dramatic on stage because playing in front of an audience made him nervous. Sometimes he would receive ten talks from the other members.
'It's better now, but it's still a big challenge
to keep focused up there," he said.
A video camera is one of the band's main practice tools because Herrmann and Goldford can't read music. The members watch and listen to the tape of themselves playing and use it to improve and make changes in the music.
"We don't even put the camera on our faces — just as long as we can hear the music," Herrmann said. "That way, if we were too drunk last night to remember what we were playing, in the morning we have the tape."
Although Lerner can read music, he improvises all of his harmonica parts. Lerner said he "fiddles around" and listens to recordings to adjust his sound.
Goldford said the band's sound couldn't be placed in a category although it cited bluegrass and hard blues as its influences.
Herrmann and Goldford write most of the lyrics and music — and they write quickly.
"We'll write in like an hour, and then sit on it." Herrmann said.
Cardwell said the best thing about playing their original music is knowing that it was reaching people.
"It's cool to hear your friends humming your songs," he said.
The members of No Lessons have made sacrifices for the band. Goldford said he had an internship at an advertising agency this summer but canceled it to play. Herrmann said he was planning on teaching English in Spain, but also decided to perform.
But Lerner said he hasn't made any sacrifices for No Lessons, vet.
"I just love doing it so much, there is no sacrifice," he said.

COMMENTARY
DVD swings, doesn't connect
By Donovan Atkinson Jayplay writer
With the arrival of DVDs, consumers have experienced the added bonus of extra features and the ability to skip to favorite scenes in a movie. Coming to stores in April is a new type of DVD that focuses entirely on the extra features capabilities and contains nothing but favorite scenes. FlixMix, a splinter company of Universal Studios, will release Ultimate Fights, a compilation of the "best" movie fight scenes.
The DVD is the second in a series focusing on the "best" moments in movies. The series was started with Boogeymen, a compilation of the best scenes from horror films. Ultimate Fights is a similar collection of the best fight scenes from movies such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
and Legend of Drunken Master.
The idea of a compilation DVD is a fairly new one. Because FlixMix has been able to secure licenses from about 20 different companies, viewers get to see more than just scenes from movies made by Universal Studios. Ultimate Fights contains scenes from movies as recent as Gladiator and Snatch, but also classics, such as Scarface.
While the quality of the selected films is high, if you haven't seen the films all the way through, the whole experience is rather lackluster. The editors of Ultimate Fights have essentially eliminated all context for the fight scenes, which makes plot-driven fights from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Gladiator seem uninspired and meaningless.
The DVD does include some interesting special features. Viewers are able to make a "Top Five" list of their favorite scenes and watch them in succession. Viewers can also use the soundtrack mixing option to customize the music they hear during the fight-
Another standout feature is the "FlixFacts" option. While the scene plays, trivia and facts about the movie or actors pop up, which can actually make the scene more interesting by providing a context for the fight.
The concept of a compilation DVD is interesting, but Ultimate Fights still needs some work. A DVD of nothing but special features and out-of-context scenes can only hold interest for so long.
Ultimate Fights will be available in stores in April at a retail price of $19.98.

Folgers unexpectedly wins Lawrence Coffee War
The months-long, uninteresting battle of words and slap-fights between the pro and anticorporate coffee shop camps came to an end when word got out last week that people could buy coffee at the grocery store for much cheaper and drink it at home. This saves the time and money it takes to frequent a coffee shop. Many avid coffee-drinkers, including Mikey LeBlankzin, Lawrence sophomore, have switched to 'homemade' coffees such as Folders.
"I bought this thing called a 'coffee machine' and then some Folgers, and I've saved, like, 95 dollars in the last week." LeBlankzin said. "I wish someone would've told us about this earlier."
Coffee shop attendance plummeted after the news spread through the much-intertwined coffee crowd. Starbucks, 641 Massachusetts St., the root of the whole protest, and every other coffee shop in town closed their doors yesterday.
"I guess the scam is over. Damn!" said Ted Berglund, owner of Jaba's Java, 504 Hawaii St.
"We made a killing off of these fools for years. Guess I could always sell bottled water. People always fall for that one."

Student protected underground in case of national tragedy
Attorney General John Ashcroft's latest round of anti-terrorism measures called for Becky Brawnstein, Kansas City, Mo., junior and "really hot babe," to be moved to an undisclosed underground location. Ashcroft said this action was necessary so that in the event of a national tragedy, one hot college chick could still expose her breasts on camera during spring break.
"We must preserve our nation's precious spring break traditions," Ashcroft said. "Make no mistake, we will defend tooplast women wher ever tooplast women are threatened, but we can never be too careful. The people of America can rest assured that their government is protecting their interests."
Brawnson, McPherson junior, was surprised to be selected, but ready to serve her country.
"I am just overwhelmed," Brawnson said. "I love my country and will do my patriotic duty. This is an incredible day for me. My mom hasn't stopped crying since I told her the news. God bless this great nation and its exposed breasts."

Deadhead killed by tape collection
By Brad Weiner Kansan satire writer
SAN FRANCISCO — Grateful Dead fans everywhere were saddened by the death of Sunny Moonflower, a 45-year-old fan who was crushed by the weight of his own tape collection last Thursday.
According to the police report, neighbors in his apartment complex heard a loud crash and then nothing at all.
"I heard a loud crash and then nothing at all," said Sarah Bienvenidos, a Bay Area demolition expert. When the body was discovered a few hours later by friends who had come by to "rip the bong," they found their friend suffocated underneath a pile of Grateful Dead tapes.
The now defunct band allowed their audience members to record concerts, and some fans amassed enormous collections. Moonflower's collection was said to be anywhere between "gnarly" and "kick-ass."
"The thing that gets me," said a crying friend who wanted to remain anonymous, "is that the tape lodged in his throat was a killer show from .75. Jerry (Garcia) played some mindmelters that
The tragedy sparked political finger-pointing in Washington, D.C. Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., dressed entirely in black, said, "The death of Sunny Moonflower must not go unnoticed. We need to legislate against any further media related injuries."
night, Sunny would have been glad to suffocate on that show."
The comment loosely referred to the Boston area child who got his tongue stuck in a DVD player two weeks ago.
Moonflower's funeral was celebrated with a traditional hippie farewell of bongo drumming and tie-dye flags in the streets of San Francisco. Mayor Willie L. Brown Jr. decided not to declare a city holiday because "he was a dumb ass who got killed by his tapes. What do you want from me? A statue?"
Deadheads everywhere tried to get on with their lives by returning to work Friday. Moonflower's longtime pizza delivery man, who goes by the name Puck, said, "It is sad that he won't order any more vegan pies or soy-based Pepsi, but I have to move on. People still get the munchies."

Budget spring break tips
Tonque in Beak presents
By Greg Zielinski Kansan satire writer
Instead of that expensive trip to Mexico, enjoy the same experience from your living room by simply filling your beer hat with Coronas, sitting really close to the TV screen and watching Univision.
You could try one of those Alternative Spring Breaks where you pay money to dig holes and pick up trash, but why not do all that stuff for free with the added thrill of getting arrested first?
Have you heard of the book Vacations for Less where they tell you how to travel across Europe for less than $500? Well, reading that might be a fun, inexpensive way to pass the time.
■ "When your room looks kinda weird, and you wish that you weren't there, just close your eyes, and make-believe, and you can be anywhere." — The Muppet Babies.
If the movie Crossroads has taught us anything, it's that you can have a great time renewing old friendships and learning life lessons on a cross-country road trip at no cost and with nothing but a heart full of dreams and a ride from your handsome friend in his '73 Buick. However, if you want to make pointless, crappy movies without using any acting skill, you're
going to need a dynamite body.
- Skiing in Colorado, while exciting, can cost several hundred dollars. It will only cost about $10, though, for a week's supply of York Peppermint Patties.
Going home for break can be just as much fun as any expensive college vacation package. Simply convince your family to move to a bar in Acapulco.
How much different could Amsterdam, Netherlands be from Amsterdam, Ga.?
For a cheap thrill here in Lawrence, get in your car, release the parking brake and see where your vacation" takes you.
As Meghan Bainum said, one can still have a great spring break without palm trees. However, palms will probably be an indispensable part of your break since you are the campus masturbator.
Vacations are overrated. Staying in Lawrence will allow you to accomplish a lot of things you can't find time for during school. Stuff like loneliness, boredom and self-loathing...

Engineering star to skip senior year, go pro
By Andy Marso
Kansan satire writer
KU engineering fans were shocked yesterday when Dennis Woznielson, Larned junior, announced he would leave the University of Kansas at the end of this year to join the professional engineering ranks.
Heavily recruited out of high school, Woznielson has been a vital member of the University of Kansas engineering department and numerous engineering clubs during the past three years.
"I'll be really sad to see him go," said Deborah Gagliard, Hays junior. "We all knew he was incredibly talented, but we were hoping he'd stay for his senior year and refine his skills."
Woznielson, however, said he is ready for the pros.
"I've had several companies tell me that if I come out this year I'll be one of their top five picks," he said. "I guess it would be kind of nice to have a degree, but other than that, I don't really see the value in another year of school."
Hopes for Woznielson's return were high just last week. After turning in a truly extraordinary performance on his
midterm project, Woznielson was met by a throng of adoring engineering fans who chanted "One more year, one more year."
While he acknowledged that he would miss the support of the KU engineering faithful,
Woznielson could not turn down the financial jackpot of turning pro.
"I'm going to start out at $40,000 a y e a r , " Woznielson said. "How many people.
Woznielson
if put in my position, could put off that amount of money just to finish school?"
When asked about his star engineer's early exit, Chancellor Robert Hemenway was confused, "I'm not sure just who this Woznielm kid is," Hemenway said, "but if he's really making 40 G's next year we'll be sure to get him on the alumni donations mailing list."

Spending $50 million
Committee discusses ways to allocate funds generated by tuition increase proposal
By Mike Gilligan Kansan staff writer
The Ad Hoc Committee on University Funding met yesterday to come up with ways to spend funds received from a proposed $50 million tuition increase. But some committee members wanted to reconsider the amount first.
wanted to recount the request The committee, which met at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union, voted 5-3 Monday in favor of a $50 million tuition increase plan. But some members still disagreed with the decision.
"It doesn't make sense that we come up with a number without knowing where it goes," said Jamel Bell, graduate senator and committee member. "The amount is the last thing we
should come up with."
should come up with. Bell said the University should look at where it needed to spend money and how much before coming up with a figure.
But a motion to reconsider the amount was struck down by a 5-5 vote among committee members. A majority of votes is needed for a motion to pass.
After the vote, committee members began to throw out their ideas for where the money should go.
Bell said financial aid, graduate teaching assistant salaries, and labs and equipment were at the top of her list.
Chuck Krider, professor of business and faculty co-chair, said he did not want the money spent on parking facilities, athletics or for more National Merit Scholars.

Members decided to meet again on Monday,
March 25 to further discuss where the money
should be spent.
The tuition increase proposal will go to
Chancellor Robert Hemenway, who will then present it to the Board of Regents. The final proposal is due to the Regents in May, said Matt Steppe, Student Legislative Awareness Board director and committee member.
Before the committee began talking about ways to spend the money, about 35 students had a chance to voice their opinions on the matter.

Matt Dwyer, Wichita senior and off-campus senator, began by asking the committee members who voted against the reconsideration for $20.

"Why are you asking us for $50 million dollars when you don't know where it's going, and you won't give me $20 because you don't know what it's for?" he asked.

Dwyer said he would rather see a list of things the University wanted to spend money on first before coming up with a figure.

Students look for cheap ways to have fun on spring break
By Melissa Shuman Kansan staff writer
Students with travel plans found they didn't have to sell plasma to afford spring break.
Many students have been able to find cheap deals on trips to places such as Florida and Utah.
Florida and Utah Jermaine Burbridge, Shawnee freshman, worked as a referee for basketball intermurals at Robinson Center to help pay for his trip.
pay it. "It doesn't pay much, only $7 per hour for a one hour game, but I'll take whatever I can get," he said.
He referees about three games per work shift. Burbridge is going to Memphis to watch a basketball game, then to Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
"I fly there for free because my mom's a flight attendant for Vanguard Airlines." he said. "They have special deals with the airlines so I can fly free and get cheaper hotel rates."
He and three friends are going to share the costs of a hotel room in Florida at $29.99 a night.
"I just have to come up with $300 on my own, and I've already saved $150 of that from working," he said.
Burbridge said his mom would probably help him come up with the remaining $150.
While students may have enough to get to their destination, they may not have enough left to spend when they arrive.
"We've had students calling to get an earlier flight or even their relatives coming into the office because they've spent all their money and need to come home." Nicole Dreesen, manager of Council Travel, 12th and Oread streets, said.
She said that students don't often think about all the costs of travel, such as airfare, hotel accommodations, food, shopping and visiting attractions.
"We had people lining up to go to Europe for a $300-$400 trip package we were offering, but when it came time to go, they realized they didn't have enough spending money," she said.
Paige Isaacson, Salina junior, is taking advantage of KU's alternative spring break so she can afford a vacation. The office of Organization and Leadership offers several trips where students travel and do a service project. Isaacson chose

Greens sprout convention
University of Kansas slated as site for national conference
By Caroline Boyer Kansan staff writer
The National Campus Greens Convention will bring more than 400 college students from across the nation to the University of Kansas this August.
Carolyn Danckaert, national director of the Campus Greens, said the convention would be either the first or second weekend in August. It is open to all students, and it is free.
At the convention, Campus Green delegates will take part in workshops, panel discussions and a delegate meeting.
Last year's convention took place in Chicago and included appearances by Ralph Nader,
Patty Smith, Cornell West and Ani DiFranco. Danckaert said Nader would probably attend this year.
"We'll probably be having a similar caliber of speakers attending, but we'll mix it up a little." Danckaert said.
She said they had narrowed down their choices to Lawrence, Columbia, Mo., and

Overland Park senior Craig Damlo holds his Global Positioning System device and a clue box at one of the way points on the KU multicache. Damlo's hobby is geocaching, a modernized treasure hunt in which participants navigate their way to coordinate points along a course and eventually to a "cache" at the end.
Hobby utilizes GPS technology in hunt for loot
By Adam Pracht
Kansan staff writer
Treasure is hidden among us at the University of Kansas.
Logan Weast, Overland Park senior, concealed items such as a small compass and a radio as part of a developing hobby called geocaching that uses the technology of the Global Positioning System. GPS receivers pick up the signals of at least three satellites at fixed positions above the earth to pinpoint a position.
Weast said that the game sounds deceptively easy. He said it's easy to follow the directions of the GPS, but the challenge lies in determining the best way to the site and actually finding the cache once there.
Weast, who has participated in geocaching since September of 2000, said that in the game of geocaching, one player would hide a waterproof container called a cache. The cache can range in size from a film canister to a shoebox-sized plastic container. It contains a logbook, where players can record that they found the cache, an explanation of the game and various objects or 'treasures' for other players to find. Usually the treasures are small trinkets or toys, but some have themes such as only hiding items like computer parts.
After creating the cache, the hider then places the coordinates of the cache with an explanation on www.geocaching.com, where other players download the coordinates and go off in search of the geocache. Once they find it, they sign the logbook and may take something from the cache if they leave something else of equal value.
"When I first started, it was
kind of like the treasure hunt. I'm going to go out and get something just because," Weast said. "But as I've been participating in it more, it's more of a community thing where you and everyone else who plays the game are showing off your favorite spots."
the game goes on.
"I like electronic toys and I like nature, so it was kind of a nice way to mix it," he said.
"That, and I don't like to just walk, so it was nice to have a goal."
Craig Damlo, Overland Park senior, said that he searched for the KU cache and found it both challenging and enjoyable. He said that he had played the game since August last year and liked that the game got him outside.
Damo said he placed his own geocache at the Well's Outlook south of Lawrence, which is one of his favorite spots.
The sport of geocaching became possible on May 1, 2000, after the U.S. government removed restrictions on GPS that made it too inaccurate to get close to a cache.
In July 2000, two of the earliest geocachers, Mick Teague and Jeremy irish, set up the geocaching Web site. Since then, the game has grown to include caches in all 50 states and 109 countries.
Weast said that getting started in the game can be expensive, GPS receivers range from $100 to $1,000, but he hoped that the sport would grow in Lawrence. However, he said that anyone interested in the sport should visit the Web site before he decides to participate.

Kansas House rejects efforts to raise tobacco sales taxes
The Associated Press
Topeka — House members continued to demonstrate their distaste for raising taxes, rejecting efforts yesterday to increase taxes on tobacco.
Their actions came a day after repeated efforts to increase the state sales tax and repeal nearly $3 billion in exemptions.
On Wednesday, Rep. Bonnie Sharp offered the biggest revenue-generating measure yet suggested — repealing most of the exemptions from the state's 4.9 percent sales tax to bring in nearly $3 billion.
Sharp, D-Kansas City, said the economy had changed and that the state had grown increasingly reliant on retail sales and services, which was not reflected by a taxing system that depended on income and property taxes.
The debates Wednesday and yesterday were the latest exercises in the House to gauge members' support for various ways of closing a projected budget gap of more than $679 million over the next 15 months.
Earlier in the week, the House voted down proposed increases in the state's income tax, estate tax and property tax for public schools.
"We're taxing under a model that's not working," Sharp said.
Her amendment was defeated 100-22. The bill to
Yesterday's debate began
with a proposal to raise $148 million with an increase in taxes on tobacco products, offered as an amendment to a tax bill. House members voted 99-22 against it.
Sharp said repealing all exemptions in a single amendment was ambitious, but that it points to the need for legislators to rethink all exemptions and become serious about tax policy.
which it would have been attached — a sales tax exemption for hearing aids — was rejected later in the day, 64-41.
Opponents were not amused.
"I'm offering you some lettuce,some green stuff," Sharp said.The week-long tax debate has been dubbed "build-your-own salad week."
House Taxation Chairman John Edmonds, R-Great Bend, labeled Sharp's amendment a "$3 billion tax increase" and said there was much to dislike in its 76 provisions.

Honor society sponsors photography contest
Photos taken on a spring break vacation out of the country may be worth prizes.
The Phi Beta Delta Honor Society for International Scholars is sponsoring an international photography contest titled "Picture the World." Mike Ediger, assistant director of international Student Services said that the contest was open to any student, faculty and staff member traveling abroad.
Ediger said that there would be first, second and third place winners for the categories of people, places and cultural traces. Winners for first place in all the categories will receive prizes and the Best in Show winner would win a camera from Image Works. 711 W.23rd St.
Ediger said the winners would be exhibited at the KU Museum of Anthropology during the last week of April for International Student Association's annual International Awareness Week. Entry forms for the contest are available in 300 Strong Hall and submissions are due by April 1.

WORLD A photographer's death shows the danger of war
JERUSALEM—On one side are Israeli soldiers, on the other are Palestinian gunmen—and caught in the middle are journalists trying to cover an increasingly chaotic conflict raging in the streets of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Gaza Strip. The death of an Italian photographer in the West Bank town of Ramallah on Wednesday — the first foreign journalist to be killed in 17 months of fighting in the Israeli warring hazards faced
— points up the growing hazards faced by those reporting in the Middle East
This week, Israel launched its biggest military operation in a generation, using troops, tanks, Apache assault helicopters and F-16 warplanes against Palestinian militants and weapons-makers.
For the most part, the recent fightin has taken place at breathtakingly close range, in crowded Palestinian towns and refugee camps throughout the West Bank and Gaza.
The danger, of course, is not limited to journalists. This has been the bloodiest month since the conflict erupted in September 2000. So far in March, more than 170 Palestinians and at least 62 Israeli, including combatants and civilians on both sides, have died.
Italy has demanded a thorough investigation of the death of photojournalist Raffaele Ciriello, 42, who witnesses said was struck by machine-gun fire from an Israeli tank on Wednesday as he walked with Palestinian gunmen in the center of Ramallah. Ciriello was on assignment for the Milan daily Corriere della Sera.

Universities, Regents try to find compromise
By Meredith Carr Kansan staff writer
Students may have more restrictions on their course load if the Board of Regents doesn't adapt its policy on upper-level class credit.
Last fall, the Board of Regents implemented an increase in junior/senior credit hours required for an undergraduate degree. Under the Regents' policy, students would complete 54 hours of upper-level classes for graduation. The University of Kansas requires only 40 hours.
Officials from the University and other Regents institutions compiled a report which outlined concerns and consequences of increasing required hours.
The report suggested a compromise of 45 credit hours instead of the 54-hour policy.
Student Body President Justin Mills said he had concerns about any increased requirements.
"I think increasing the hours is also increasing the student's time at the University." Mills said.
The University requires graduates to complete 124 hours of credit before graduation. If 54 of those hours are designated for upper-level classes, Regents universities are concerned students will suffer.
The report said students may spend an additional semester ful-filling requirements, making it harder to graduate in four years. The report also addressed the financial burden that would accompany the increase in hours.
The universities also raised concerns that students would be
unable to explore classes outside of their majors.
"We are concerned about the effect of the 54-hour rule and how it will affect the quality of the degree received by the student," said Tom Beisecker, university council president.
Jack Wempe, Board of Regents member, said the report helped identify current academic standards of the Regent schools, and said the Regents would decide whether to change its requirements to reflect the academic standard demonstrated in the report.
The Regents' next meeting is April 17 and 18. A decision is hoped to be made by this time.

During the past year and a half, the Bush administration has been frequently criticized for its religious leanings.
By Maggie Koerth Kansan staff writer
Mixed reactions about Bush's religious proposal
Groups like the American Atheists Inc. have accused the Bush administration of violating the separation of church and state and trying to evangelize through politics. The group cited Bush's faith-based initiative plan and religious statements made by Bush administration appointees since Sept. 11, most notably Attorney General John Ashcroft.
Rachel Bernard, Lawrence junior, said she was most upset about abortion laws passed by the Bush Administration.
In January of 2001, Bush signed the "global gag rule," a policy that restricts foreign nongovernmental organizations that receive U.S. family planning funds from using their own, non-U.S. funds to provide legal abortion services. The rule also restricts NGOs from lobbying their governments for abortion law reform and providing medical counseling or referrals regarding abortion.
"I feel it's okay for individuals to have their own religious opinions but it has no place in political parties and in making laws for others who might not agree," Bernard said.
The national debate on religious rhetoric in politics has spread to the University.
Critics said statements made by Ashcroft were another example of the administration's religious leanings.
Columnist Cal Thomas also quoted Ashcroft saying Islam was "a religion that requires you to send your son to die for God" and Christianity was "a religion where God sent his son to die for you."
sophomore, is a member of the KU Young Republicans club. Follmer said she understood that Ashcroft wanted to voice his beliefs, but thought his opinions were alienating.
"He needs to understand that you can't expect a Muslim to conform to a Christian worldview," she said.
But Thomas Heilke, KU professor of political science, said evangelism was not always the goal of religious references.
"Politicians use religious rhetoric because it is a way to motivate people," Heilke said. "80 to 90 percent of Americans believe in some kind of a god. Invoking deity says what we are doing has a higher purpose."
Helike said religious rhetoric was used to bridge gaps between groups of people who might otherwise have nothing in common.
"The concept of God is important to most people, and we'd hate to think that God is not on our side," he said. "It makes sense to most people. It obviously hasn't hurt the Bush administration's opinion polls."
Others think Bush's agenda is motivated by a power greater than polls.
Nathan Reeves, Kansas City, Kan. sophomore, said he thought Bush had a lot of respect for other religions and just wanted to follow his own faith.
Beth Follmer, Independence
"I think Bush lives by his Christian morals and doesn't want to hide that," Reeves said.

EDITORIAL Students need better chance at tickets
We camp out weeks in advance to ensure ideal seating. We make signs of support and chant our team to victory. We are among the best fans in the nation, and the majority of us will not be in the stands for the rest of the season to cheer on our own Kansas basketball team.
We are not alone in this injustice.
We are not alone in this instance. The NCAA needs to give the loyal student supporters more of a chance to represent their school spirit when the whole nation is watching.
The problem begins with the inevitably high ticket prices that are beyond most college students budgets. According to the NCAA Web site, www.ncaa.org, tickets for games in St. Louis are $60, $120 or $150 dollars. Sixty dollars is the lowest ticket price offered among the eight first round sites. The Final Four is already sold out, which means students who don't already have tickets won't get to cheer on their team. These prices might be reasonable, but car rides or plane tickets plus lodging can often exceed a student budget.
student budget.
Students are also unwilling to buy tickets too far in advance, because the risk of buying a ticket and then a team not making it to a higher round is too high for some risk. This leaves many game sites already sold out long before the games are completed and little, if any, student representation.
Students should have the opportunity to follow their teams. If we assume that an average tournament stadium is comparable to Kemper Arena in Kansas City, it would hold roughly 19,000 people. What we are asking is a percentage of seats reserved by each team for discounted student purchases. Students should be given at least 24 hours after the bracket announcement and each following round to make ticket purchases. After that, tickets would be open to the public.
Students sharing in March Madness would elevate the intensity of every game. At NCAA tournament games, students would show the nation what school spirit is all about. The players deserve that hometown spirit while making school history.

About that article today in the Kansan about tuition increases, I'd at least like to know what I'm paying for before they decide that they are going to raise the prices, and they don't even know what they're paying for. It'd be nice to know before I decide if I'm going to be here next year.
B
I see something suspicious about this tuition increase. I can see going from 10 to 20 percent increasing, but not 120 percent. I think there needs to be an investigation of the school or whoever's in charge of this, and I think there needs to be a strike if nothing is done.

Heed these helpful spring break tips and avoid a 'Girls Gone Wild' cameo
For those of you actually reading this and not already on your way to South Padre, I thought I'd help out fellow spring breakers with a few tips.
The forthcoming days can be a wonderful opportunity for relaxation, revelry and an escape from the realities of higher education. But danger and general humiliation can occur if you don't keep a few things in mind.
COMMENTARY
1. If you bought an "all-inclusive" package cheap, you're not allowed to whine. What's that? You're $50 flight was delayed, then you got tossed in with the freight en route to Negril or Cancun? And you're free drinks consist of generic brand rum and Natural Light? Tough luck, kiddo. You get what you pay for, and when it comes to spring break, you're going to have to pay a pretty penny.
pay a pretty penny.
2. Heed the mantra, "What happens in Cancun stays in Cancun." Please remember this applies upon your return to Mount Oread. I promise, no one in your classes, especially those who haven't suddenly turned golden brown, wants to hear about how you got so wasted that one night. Nor do we want to hear about your escapades with "that one guy" or "that one girl," whose name you don't remember because you got so wasted on generic rum and Natural Light.
3. Avoid video cameras. No matter how drunk you might be, it's not a good idea to embarrass yourself in front of any camera

crews. What seems like good spring break fun at the time will become a quite uncomfortable moment when your parents call asking about your cameo in that Girls Gone Wild video.
4. If you're leaving the country, don't be a stupid American. OK, this is my personal bias. Nothing annoyed me more when I was studying in Mexico than tourists in Puerto Vallarta screaming, "Hey Paco, bring me another beero, pleaso." Either speak English, or try to actually speak the native language of your spring break destination. Trust me, the bartenders in Cancun will not be amused by your mutilation of their language, as they have heard such comments from plenty of American kids before.
5. Don't trust the water. Anywhere. It'll just make you sick. Play it on the safe side and substitute several beers and pina coladas for the daily eight glasses of water.
6. Don't drink up all your money. You've scrimped and saved all year for your big trip, but remember, you do have to pay the bills when you get back. For some reason, landlords don't seem to react well to explanations of, "Instead of paying April's rent in dollars, how 'bout I give you my copy of Girls Gone Wild?"
7. No matter how annoying that friend of yours is, don't leave him on the side of the road. You've got to know what you're getting into when taking a long road trip. Choose your traveling mates carefully. And even if your friend insists on listening to "Bohemian Rhapsody" or his Britney Spears' greatest hits CD all the way to the beach, you're not allowed to dump him off at a rest stop in the middle of Mississippi.
sissippi.
Yes, you do have to come back to school.
Even those of you who suffer from severe senioritis like me cannot stay on spring break forever. I'm tempted as well, to stay in Miami forever and suddenly forget that I have two more months of school. But we must persevere.
vere. After all, spring break was only meant to last for one blissful week.

Basic kindergarten lessons of respect shouldn't be forgotten on KU campus
COMMENTARY
In kindergarten I learned a few basic lessons that I carry with me even today: the ABC's, how to sing "The Muffin Man" song, to call my elders "Mr." or "Mrs." and respect.
---
Maybe my small town was the only one to teach this principal called "respect" to its children, and maybe over the years since kindergarten, we have either chosen to forget or ignore it. But one thing I do know, there are a lot of people at the University of Kansas who simply don't have it.

I don't think a weekend goes by when I don't see empty beer boxes, loose paper and even condom wrappers or condoms themselves littering the front lawn of McCollum hall.
Newspapers scatter across every inch of campus as readers decide, after doing crosswords and checking out the Free For All, that it's far easier to simply drop the paper rather than find a trash can, or worse, a recycling bin. Restrooms are a matter of disgust as people conclude that sinks are indeed the place to toss any consumable and nonconsumable product.
And as the semester begins to wind down, this lack of respect grows increasingly worse. Yes, summer and the end of the school year are in sight, but we still have almost two months of living, working, learning and existing together.
together.
Just a few weeks ago, my boyfriend was hit by a car. He waited in front of a crosswalk for a car to pass, then, assuming that the truck at the
stop sign across the street would allow him to cross, began to walk. Not only did the driver see him walking and choose to ignore it, but after gently hitting him, the truck car continued on. The driver of the truck then stopped, rolled down the window and hollered, "You OK?"
My boyfriend asked why he had hit him. The driver smiled and then drove away.
It was a KU service truck.
That time it was in a potentially dangerous way, but this kind of disrespect occurs every day, whether through anonymous insults in the Free for All, or one person destroying another's property.
It was a rare service. There was absolutely no reason for this to happen. As a pedestrian, he wasn't violating any laws or even ignoring traffic. It was simply an act of one person deciding not to respect another.
It's arguable that it's all play. There's no real harm in leaving trash on the ground or insulting
a person's knowledge in a paper. And while that's one way to look at it, take a second and look at it from the other perspective. You're the one who has to go out and pick up that smelly slimy trash. You're the one who is insulted by an anonymous person who tells jokes about you to his or her group of friends. You're the one who gets hit by a car.
gets hit by a car.
No common person is a saint, thus there's no reason to act like one. But having respect, either for another individual, for an organization or for a piece of property, is something that shouldn't be considered saintly. It's common human decency.
ecently. I am sick of living on a campus where few care about the buildings or the living conditions of the people around them. I'm sick of hearing people insult one another for no apparent reason.
And the only way that I can see to solve these problems is to be aware of my own actions,to be as respectful as I was shown to be,and to ask you to do the same.
Respect is one of those rare grade school lessons that should be remembered. We learned it in kindergarten, don't tell me that after 15 and some years, we still haven't learned the lesson.

BREAK
"I really just wanted to be outside for spring break. It's just a cheap way to get out of town for awhile," she said.
Isaacson paid $180 for the trip. She and several other people are driving the 19 hours to Utah where they will stay in churches and buy groceries to save on costs.
The office of Organization and Leadership has been coordinating alternative spring break trips for KU since 1995. Travelers in the Alternative Spring Break program spend about 35 to 40 hours working on service projects. This year they are sending 140 students to 19 locations in the U.S. The office spends the students' travel money on van rental, groceries, and donations to the sites they visit.
Brooke Smith, Overland Park senior, works for the Center for Community Outreach and organizes spring break trips. She said students should know what they're getting involved in before they leave.
"People would be highly disappointed if they went because of the cheap trip since they have to work so much," Smith said.

Austin, Texas. She said one of the reasons they chose Lawrence was because of its central location.
The Green Party also has a large representation in Lawrence, said Sarah Hoskinson, co-coordinator of KU Greens. In the 2000 presidential election, Ralph Nader received 9.63 percent of the vote in Douglas County, one of the highest county percentages nationwide.
"It was a pretty big accomplishment, especially in a state that's mostly republican," Hoskinson said.
Said:
The convention will most likely take place in the Kansas Union and the Lied Center. KU Greens will have to find lodgings for all attendees, and they have already gotten permission to rent rooms from Naismith Hall.
"Student housing said we couldn't have people stay with them just because of the time of year the conference would be here," Hoskinson said.

In attack aftermath civilians want answers
CHOKER KARAIZ, Afghanistan — The stricken old man could barely walk through the rubble of his village. The vision of the torn bodies of women and children was still too real in his mind's eye.
"Every time I walk through here, I see the scene all over again," Mohammad Qasin said yesterday.
The Associated Press
"We don't know. God knows," survivor Aziz Ahmed said yesterday when asked why U.S. pilots might have attacked this tiny, mud-walled place one night in late October.
Villagers say 52 people, mostly women and children, were killed in the bombing and strafing four months ago that obliterated this isolated hamlet, a few houses ringed by irrigated wheat fields among miles of semidesert emptiness in southern Afghanistan.
The government of Kandahar province alone has filed more than 70 compensation cases involving U.S. airattacks with the central government in Kabul, provincial spokesman Yusuf Pashtun said Wednesday.
Now the case of Choker Karaiz is one of dozens of U.S. air attacks for which survivors have filed claims for compensation.
"Hamid Karzai said send them to the Ministry of the Interior," Pashtun said, referring to Afghanistan's interim national leader.
Pashtun said four cases involved multiple deaths in Kandahar villages, with the biggest being Choker Karaiz, 25 miles east of Kandahar city. The rest were cases of single deaths or limited damage here and there in the province, he said. Others. "hard to prove," were not forwarded to Kabul, he said.
The provincial spokesman said he had no information on how the compensation process will work. It could not be learned immediately whether the U.S. government would consider such claims, or whether they would be handled exclusively by the Afghan government or by a joint commission.
Maj. Brad Lowell, a spokesman for U.S. Central Command, said yesterday he was unaware of any process for Afghans to make claims against the U.S.military.
The Pentagon has said civilians were never deliberately targeted during the bombing in Afghanistan but has acknowledged that some bombs went astray.
Last month, however, the Pentagon acknowledged that U.S. Army forces killed 14 or more Afghans who were neither al-Qaida nor Taliban members during a raid in Uruzgan province in January.
Provincial Gov. Jan Mohammed delivered $1,000 to $2,000 to each dead man's family, as well as a verbal apology relayed on behalf of high-ranking U.S. officials he declined to identify.
The Taliban took a group of foreign reporters to the village in November and claimed 92 people died there. Reporters at the time counted about 15 graves.
Peter Bouckaert, a researcher with the New York-based Human Rights Watch, independently interviewed people in Choker Karazin in an effort to establish a civilian casualty toll.
"We believe that at least 25 and possibly as many as 35 civilians died in this bombing raid. Often times civilians give random numbers that tend to be too high but we try to confirm as many as possible and we were able to confirm at least 25 here."
Briton gives first Western testimony in Milosevic trial
The Associated Press
THE HAGUE, Netherlands — A former British envoy to the Balkans testified at the trial of Slobodan Milosevic yesterday on how he watched through binoculars as the Yugoslav army indiscriminately shelled Kosovo Albanian villages in 1998.
Paddy Ashdown, the first Western leader to appear in the 5-week-old trial, said he was shocked as he watched the Serb forces from a distance of about a mile during a trip to northern Albania in 1998.
Ashdown's testimony, which was to continue today, was expected to provide the most extensive insight so far into the politics behind Milosevic's reign and the Balkans' descent into bloodletting.
Lord Ashdown said the army was pounding the villages with tanks and mortars. "There was no return fire. I saw these units engaging, it appeared to me, indiscriminately, in a way I could not relate to military objectives.
Ashdown, whose nomination as U.N. High Representative in Bosnia is awaiting approval by the Security Council, was the 19th prosecution witness in the case against the former Yugoslav president, accused of war crimes and genocide in Kosovo, Croatia
and Bosnia during Yugoslavia's bloody breakup in the 1990s.
He recounted meeting Kosovo Albanian refugees who fled the rebellious southern Yugoslav province, arriving in the Tropoja and Bajram Curri regions in northern Albania. He said he talked with some 50 refugees of all ages who had been "driven over the mountains by what was going on in Kosovo."
"Many arrived in a very harrowing state, women, young children," he said. "I also saw some who had been wounded by shells, gunfire.
"They all had the same or similar stories to tell, that they were ordered out of their villages by army or police," Ashdown said. "If they stayed, they were subjected to small arms fire later to tank fire, artillery and mortar fire.
later to take the airborne.”
“This caused the population to leave and embark on an extremely difficult journey through forest and mountain passes, in the course of which they said they were constantly shelled,” he said. “Some died on the way. The final decent into Albania was very precipitous.”
In his testimony, the former leader of Britain's Liberal Democrats cited diaries he had Kent over the years.
He also described intense rebel activity under way in the lawless Albanian border region, which he compared to an "arms supermarket."

Zimbabwe's elections draw mixed reaction
HARARE, Zimbabwe - As another international observer group condemned Zimbabwe's presidential election yesterday, Western countries and African countries exposed a deep divide in their reactions to the vote.
Analysts said some African leaders were supporting a liberation hero, protecting their own undemocratic regimes and trying to maintain regional stability.
in their reactions. A host of European countries decried the weekend elections as violent, chaotic and blatantly tilted in favor of President Robert Mugabe — who was declared the winner.
But many African leaders praised the elections, with the Organization of African Unity observer mission calling them "transparent, credible, free and fair."
But they also criticized the West for ignoring the most flawed elections on the continent — including one this weekend in the Republic of Congo — and focusing only on the vote in a nation with a significant white population.
"That sense of double standards can't be emphasized enough," said Salih Booker, director of the advocacy group Africa Action.
The opposition Movement for Democratic Change asked yesterday for "a significant expansion" in the sanctions to cover more government and ruling party officials and businessmen whose wealth stems from their association with the party.
EU leaders are expected to discuss the situation at a summit in Spain this weekend and White House press secretary Ari Fleischer said the United States was in discussions with other countries to decide what action to take.
Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien announced yesterday that Canada was cutting off aid to the country because the elections were flawed.
Norwegian election observers, a mission of legislators from southern Africa and independent Zimbabwean observers condemned the election as deeply flawed because of its violent campaign, a series of restrictive laws that hurt the opposition and chaotic voting that did not allow thousands of urban residents to vote.
At some polling stations in the opposition stronghold of Harare, police shot tear gas at people waiting to vote as polls closed.
closed. The 54-nation Commonwealth of Britain and its former colonies, which includes 19 African countries, criticized the elections as well Thursday.
Nevertheless, Mugabe's return to power has won broad support from African leaders.
The observmission from South Africa declared the election legitimate. The Nigerian observers said nothing that happened threatened the integrity of the poll. Namibia called the election successful.

Fetish group indulges in tough love

By all appearances, the first "Fetish Night" was absolute torture.
"It hurt a little," she said,
"but it wasn't all pain. It was sort of a tingling sensation."
But to Megan Ehlers—who writhed her way from one restrictive device to another on a darkened stage—even the electric shocks were "a lot of fun."
Fetish performance group Contra Naturam played host to Wednesday night's showcase of bondage, domination and sadomasochistic tools and techniques at the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire. Translated from Latin, the group's name means against nature. More than 50 people attended the show, which will be held on the second Wednesday of each month.
As the only full-time "sub" or submissive in the group, Ehlers spent the better half of an hour getting spanked, flogged and bitten by the five other members.
After the performance audience members were invited onstage to experiment with the equipment.
But some people brought their own tools, such as a middle-aged couple dressed in black who spent most of the night exchanging sharp hits from a whip.
Others just watched the performance, opting not to explore their dark desires in public.

Saffron ties up a willing participant near the end of the show. Contra Naturam will perform the second Wednesday of each month.
"That was a really cool toy they used up there," she said. "It'd be interesting to trvout."
But Bhattnagar chose not to partake in the audience-participation potion
of the show.
"You can't fully release yourself in an environment like this. There are too many people. I would have to be on drugs." she said
Vanessa Hays, Topeka sophomore, said she found the performance intense.
"I don't know many people who can take that many different kinds of pain in one session," she said.
In one segment of the show, Ehlers portrayed a baby who was raped by her parents, dragged away by figures dressed in black, and beaten against her will. Ehlers and Jericho van de Velde, the group's founding member, stressed that everything that

Gonorrhea prevalent in Kansas City
Millions of Americans might be infected with gonorrhea, but they aren't being diagnosed or treated, according to a study released last month.
The study also found that Kansas City, Mo. had one of the highest rates of gonorrhea in the nation. Those infected increased by 37 percent last year, which was the largest increase in America. It is estimated that between 5 and 8 percent of Americans have the disease.
in a study conducted last year, the Research Triangle Institute in Washington, D.C. found that almost all of the people who tested positive for gonorrhea reported no symptoms in the previous six months.
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease, caused by a bacteria that grows in the warm, moist areas of the reproductive tract. The areas of growth include the cervix, uterus, and fallopian tubes in women, and in the urethra in women and men. The bacteria can also grow in the mouth, throat and anus.
Gonorrhea is spread through sexual contact. Ejaculation does not have to occur for gonorrhea to be transmitted or acquired.
Cathy Thrasher, chief pharmacist at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that any sexually active person could be infected with gonorrhea, but most people often had no symptoms. The center does not keep track of the numbers of students infected with gonorrhea.
Untreated gonorrhea in women can develop into pelvic inflammatory disease, which causes infertility. It can also cause infertility in men.
Thrasher said that gonorrhea could be diagnosed with a simple urine test and treated with a course of antibiotics, such as penicillin.
"The best prevention method is abstinence," she said. "Latex condoms should be used every time during sex."
—Summer Lewis
Gonorrhea symptoms
Male symptoms: A burning sensation when urinating and a yellowish white discharge from the penis, and painful or swollen testicles.
- Female symptoms: A burning sensation when urinating and a vaginal discharge that is yellow or bloody. The early symptoms of gonorrhea are often mild, and many women who are infected have no symptoms of infection.

BET leaves Harlem amid fanfare
NEW YORK — Twoyears after arriving in Harlem, Black Entertainment Television announced it was swapping its uptown digs for a midtown address — much to the chagrin of black business and political leaders.
"We were disappointed about the news," Terry Lane, chief executive of the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone, said yesterday. "Given the culturally specific programming that BET does, it seemed logical that Harlem would be its home."
Instead, the black-oriented network was relocating to the CBS Broadcast Center on West
57th Street after breaking off negotiations for a bigger space about 20 blocks north of its current Harlem location.
Both CBS and BET are owned by Viacom, which purchased Black Entertainment Television in November 2000 for nearly $3 billion.
"Harlem had a great pride in its selection by BET," said U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel, whose district includes the neighborhood. "There's no question that we, more than CBS or downtown, exemplify what the station is supposed to stand for."
City officials were talking with
BET to anchor its Gotham Plaza project at 125th street and Lee.
But Lane said officials at the empowerment zone — which had helped lure BET uptown two years ago with a variety of tax breaks — discovered the network was breaking off talks through a press release.
Attempts to reach BET officials about resuscitating the Harlem plan were unsuccessful, both Lane and Rangel said. A BET spokesman did not return calls for comment.
BET had moved to Harlem several months before the Viacom purchase.
Country music nominees named
LOS ANGELES — Toby Keith and Brooks & Dunn led nominations for the Academy of Country Music Awards yesterday with six apiece, including for album and entertainer of the year.

Baseball team faces Baylor, tries to end streak
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
For senior third baseman Ryan Klocksien, this weekend's three-game set at No. 10 Baylor will be his last chance for redemption.
"I think the four years I've been here, we haven't beaten Baylor," he said. "That would be kind of nice to get off our back."
The streak goes back even farther than Klocksien's tenure. Kansas last beat the Bears on April 5, 1997, and since then, Baylor has prevailed in the last 13 meetings. Still, the co-captain claims that in the end, the past losses don't mean all that much.
"Once the game starts," he said, "you kind of throw that out the window."
The Jayhawks (10-3 overall, 1
Rvan Klocksein
2 Big 12 Conference) are looking to get back on track following a 15-7 loss to Southwest Missouri State on Wednesday. And if anybody has Baylor figured out, it's Klocksien.
Klocksien was 7-for11 with two homers in three games against the Bears last season. The Jayhawks as a team scored six runs in the series, and Klocksien drove in five of them.
This season, Klocksien has been a quiet source of production. His 340 average and 15 RBI have been key weapons in the
jayhawks' offensive arsenal that averages near nine runs a game
"I feel like I could be doing better," Klocksien said. "I feel pretty comfortable in the field, but I'm still trying to work things out with my swing."
Kansas will once go again with what has worked on the mound. Senior Dan Olson (3-0, 3.16 ERA) will start today against Baylor's Steven White (3-0, 2.41). Seniors Jake Wright (2-0, 2.25) and Jeff Davis (3-1, 2.25) will start the final two games.
Baylor (14-6, 4-2), has won its last four games. They last played to a 9-6 victory on Wednesday over Texas-Arlington, and last weekend, they took two of three from defending Big 12 champion Nebraska.
Jayhawks coach Bobby Randall said he felt his team had the confidence this season to take on anybody in the Big 12. Randall said he wouldn't be complaining as long as the team played hard. Notes:
Sophomore second baseman Ryan Baty has hit .355 (11-for-31) with nine RBI during a seven-game hitting streak, and sophomore outfielder Matt Trible has hit .481 (13-for-27) with 11 runs in the same span.
"We have a lot of guys hitting good," Randall said, "but overall, day in and day out, it's been Ryan Baty and Matt Tribble."
Overall, Baylor is 18-2 all-time against Kansas, including a perfect 10- mark in Waco, Texas.
Following this weekend's series, the Jayhawks will stay in Texas and play a two-game series
Kansas vs. No. 10 Baylor in Waco, Texas
Today — 5:30 p.m.
Tomorrow — 3 p.m.
Sunday — 1 p.m.
against Texas-Pan American starting Tuesday. Kansas plays its next home game March 22 against Michigan.
- Tonight's game has been moved up from its original starting time of 7 to 5:30 to accommodate the NCAA women's basketball tournament. Baylor plays host to two first-round games starting tonight.

Missouri surprises Miami in upset win
The Associated Press
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Missouri woke up just after dawn and regained its early season form at just the right time.
Looking once more like a team that opened 9-0 and climbed to No.2 in the rankings, the Tigers scored the first 12 points Thursday and upset No.5-seeded Miami 93-80 in the West Regional.
"I think this team is playing its best basketball now," said Missouri coach Quin Snyder, who described the Tigers' early winning streak as "ignorance and bliss."
After that run, Missouri lost four of its next six games and steadily dropped in the polls. But Snyder said he could tell the Tigers went into the tournament in good shape.
"There been a higher level of commitment." he said.
"We got up at 6:45," Gilbert said, noting that's the earliest he has ever been up for a game.
Missouri (22-11), seeded 12th in the West, seemed to relish the 10:40 a.m. tipoff. It got a 3-pointer from Ricky Paulding and five straight points from Clarence Gilbert in the game-starting run. Gilbert finished with 20 points.
The Hurricanes (24-8) slumbered their way out of the tournament. Miami threw the ball away three times in the first three minutes, lost most of the battles for loose balls and got its first score on a three-point play by John Salmons with 16:51 remaining in the first half.
Miami coach Perry Clark discounted the idea the early start affected the Hurricanes.
"I thought Missouri came out and played with more confidence and more energy," he said. "They came out and took control of the game."
Clark added that Missouri's defense took his team out of its offense.
"They really set us up," Clark said. "We only had 10 assists for the whole game, and they forced us into taking some quick shots and shots we really didn't want to take."
Missouri's starters all scored in double figures, with Paulding getting 16 points. Travon Bryant had 10 points and 11 rebounds.
"Coach wanted us to go out and be together, play together and play hard. That's what we did," Gilbert said.
The Hurricanes, who shot 33.8 percent and took some awkward shots in the second half while trying to rally, never got closer than 23-18. That came with 9:50 left in the first half on a dunk by Darius Rice. Missouri's biggest lead was 81-64 with 4:47 left, on Paulding's 3-pointer.
Missouri, which didn't get a single vote in the final Associated Press poll of the season, beat Miami without much help from leading scorer Kareem Rush.
Rush, averaging 20 points, scored just two in the first half, although he did finish with 15. He bit his lip with 1:45 left in the game and needed stitches.
Darius Rice and Elton Tyler led Miami with 17 points each. Salmons finished with 16.
"It's disappointing," Salmons said. "We had the talent to go further. They were just the better team today."

"The thing I was worried about was if we were going to respond," Langford said. "Kirk went down, we're down by five points. Is everybody going to put their head down or is everybody going to respond?"
Crusader defenders in his face with 8:36 left to play gave the Jayhawks the lead for good.
The Jayhaws admitted that they panicked during the game and made some of the same mistakes they made in Sunday's loss to
Oklahoma. They wouldn't say last night's outing was a failure.
"You win a close game, that's just going to build our momentum into the tournament," Langford said. "That would be stupidity on our part if our confidence wasn't up right now. This game is over, we can look forward to the next opponent."
Kansas will play No. 8 seed Stanford at approximately 7 p.m. tomorrow.

Take UCLA in 1995, you remember Tyus Edney driving the court to beat Missouri in the second round with a last second shot? Yeah, he went on to cut down the nets in Seattle. And April is one mighty fine month to do such an activity. There's too many similar moments to name.

Williams did say,however that Langford would start if Hinrich was unable to perform.
“Keith Langford is a great basketball player,” Gooden said. “To me he's a future pro and this is a time for him to step out. He has to have a coming-out party and this is the perfect time for him to do it.”

Langford said it would take more than a great performance from him for
Kansas to advance past Stanford.
"The weight will be shifted on everybody's shoulders with Hinrich gone," Langford said. "Drew might not have to score 20 points and get 10 rebounds but instead get 25 and 15."

Gators want to look beyond team's scuffle
The Associated Press
Looking more like a fighter than a basketball player, Nelson insisted a practice skirmish with Florida teammate LaDarius Halton would not affect the Gators mentally or physically in today's NCAA tournament opener against Creighton.
CHICAGO — Brett Nelson walked into the United Center yesterday holding an ice bag to his swollen cheekbone, a Band-Aid covering his temple near a puffy and discolored right eye.
Nelson, the Gators' third-leading scorer, practiced yesterday and won't need a protective face guard when Florida plays the Bluejays, the Missouri Valley Conference tournament champions.
"Practice got a little physical and that kind of stuff happens when you play basketball long enough," said Nelson, who needed surgery to repair a fractured cheekbone after Tuesday's run-in. "It's all over and done with. Everything is fine with the team and we're just ready to play."
"Sometimes you get caught up in the heat of the moment," he said. "Obviously, you shouldn't go and punch someone. That was wrong but they made up and that's behind us."
No one would say just what happened, although Gators forward Nat Bonner said a punch was thrown.
a little bit of swelling but other than that, I'm fine," said Nelson, who averaged 14.7 points during Florida's 22-8 season. "I'm going to go out and play fearless and play as hard as I can. My game is not going to change at all."
Center Udonis Haslem said the scuff was not the result of coach Billy Donovan's criticism after an SEC tournament quarterfinal loss to Mississippi State, when he challenged his own team's heart and toughness.
"It's the same thing Brett says. Practice got physical preparing for Creighton," he said.
Halton, a backup guard, came to a team news conference but had little to say.
ticular that LaDarius just wanted to haul off and hit Brett." Haslem said. "I think everybody feels that the incident happened because we got more physical in practice because coach was questioning our heart, and that's not the case. We practice physically every day. The last practice where the incident occurred was no different than any practice."
But this time, Donovan said, "emotions got the best of them."
"It had nothing to do in par-
"Darius and Brett are perfectly fine. Our team is perfectly fine," Donovan said.
"I'm not condoning what happened or saying I'm happy with what happened. You see games where guys lose their composure. Sometimes it happens in practice.

Bumbling toward narrow victory
With Hinrich out, Kansas pulls off nailbiting win over No.16 seed Holy Cross
By Doug Pacey Kansan sportswriter
ST. LOUIS — Don't expect Roy Williams to rub a billiken again anytime soon. Kansas visited Saint Louis University yesterday and patted a bust of the school's mythical mascot for good luck.
"It didn't work out very well," the coach said.
The Jayhawks almost became an answer to a trivia question when they were nearly upset by No. 16 seed Holy Cross last night. The Crusaders led No. 1 seed Kansas 37-35 at halftime and as late as the nine-minute mark in the second half, but the Jayhawks' depth and athleticism helped them prevail 70-59 in the first-round of the NCAA Tournament. If Kansas had lost the game, the Jayhawks would have become the first No. 1 seed in NCAA history to be beaten by a No. 16 seed.
"Some people on this team let the seed get to their head," said Drew Gooden, who led Kansas with 19 points and 13 rebounds. "Like the first-round game, since we're the No. 1 seed, it's supposed to be easy. It's never supposed to be easy."
Holy Cross out-played, out-hustled and out-worked Kansas in the first half. Holy Cross shot 12 of 32 (37.5 percent) from the field. The team had a two-point lead at halftime. The Crusaders took the Jayhawks out of everything they wanted to do. The Crusaders didn't let the Jayhawks dominate them inside and hampered the 'Hawks' transition game.
"We got ourselves into some problems," Williams said. "We weren't rebounding, you have to do is give Holy Cross credit. If there was an easy

answer to how to adjust, I would have done it by the first time-out, the second time-out, the third time-out."
When Honorable Mention All-American junior guard Kirk Hinrich left the game late in the first half with an ankle sprain, it seemed Williams would have a harder time figuring out how to avoid going down in tournament history as the first No. 1 seed to lose to a No.16 seed.
Freshman swingman Keith Langford played for Hinrich and scored nine points and played a career-high 31 minutes. His biggest basket came during Kansas' 19-8 run over an eight-minute, 14 second-span in the middle of the second half when he put back an offensive rebound, was fouled and converted and tied the game, 46-46.
Moments later, senior guard Jeff Boschee hit a three-pointer with two

'Catalyst' Hinrich out, hopes to return by Saturday's game
By Brent Wasko
Kansan sportswriter
ST.LOUIS —The future of the Kansas men's basketball season may hinge on the status of junior guard Kirk Hinrich's left ankle.
While driving the lane late in the first half of Kansas' 70-59 victory against Holy Cross in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, Hinrich was injured and had to be dragged off the court by the Jayhawk medical staff.
Hinrich, who finished the contest with nine points, four rebounds and three assists in just 18 minutes, said he realized right away that something was wrong.
"It's an ankle sprain," team doctor Larry McGee said. "There's not very much swelling, but there's a lot of pain."
"I came down on somebody's foot. It popped and it really hurt," he said. "I don't feel sorry for myself at all. It happened. There's nothing you can do about it."
The injury coupled with the fact that No.1 seed Kansas wasn't playing its best basketball against the No.16 seed Holy Cross provided for some nerve-racking moments yesterday at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis.
Freshman swingman Keith Langford was forced to play in Hinrich's place to

close out the first half and the entire second half. He played 31 minutes and scored nine points.
"Kirk went down and we needed a lift. I just did what I'm supposed to do," Langford said. "I feel comfortable when I'm on the floor. I don't think there is that much of a drop-off when I'm on the floor."
After the game, about 10 television cameras and 20 reporters surrounded

A night of upsets almost ruin Kansas' chance at NCAA tourney glory
ST. LOUIS — Holy S*-#! What the
heck happened last night?
Yeah, you saw it just like I did. Holy Cross — a bunch of gritty no-names — provided the biggest scare to Kansas since that wicked witch of the West lifted Dorothy's house and made her whole world crumble.
It was an incredible sight to behold in the Edward Jones Dome yesterday evening, as several clergymen watched their beloved Crusaders nearly pull out the biggest miracle in NCAA tournament history.
Mind you fans back at Mount Oread
—the select few who for some unknown reason are at Western Civ., and not watching the greatest sporting spectacle in the Western Hemisphere — this one would have gone down as the worst loss in the NCAAs. Ever.
This would have been the biggest blunder since the game's great inventor James Naismith, forgot to cut a hole in the bottom of those darn peach baskets.

the season. The Jayhawks came out flat for the second time in as many games. The Jayhawks just never got going, like in a bad, surreal dream. Every time they'd wake up they'd drift back asleep
into the same nightmare of turnovers and missed shots. And it wasn't as if the Crusaders had the Pope out there popping threes. Holy Cross played well, especially defensively, but not great.
The Crusaders surely weren't better.
The Crusaders safety team C'mon they were the freak'en 16 seed. Kansas was supposed to dismantle these Patriot League pansies. They were supposed to cruise against the Crusaders like Duke, the only other No. 1 team to play on yesterday, did against 16-seeded Winthrop.
Nope, for some unknown reason this Kansas team has began to cough and
swallow hard in March.
They haven't choked, yet.
But Kansas, which would have blown-out these bozos a few weeks ago, has felt the pressure of the world on its shoulders. They seem stricken by the same curse that has infected so many of the boys from Lawrence around this time of year.
But, as crappy as Kansas came out against the Crusaders, it will play again. That's the beauty of this thing called March Madness. It only matters if

Coach Williams, team silence their critics celebrate victory
By Doug Pacey
Kansan sportswriter
MADISON, Wis. — Roy Williams had spent the last 50 minutes answering the media's questions in an NCAA-mandated interview session. But as he walked about 250 yards to Kansas' locker room, he politely answered more questions from reporters.
When someone asked how he felt after beating No. 2 Oregon 104-86 in the Midwest Region final yesterday in the Kohl Center and earning his first trip to the Final Four since 1993, Kansas' coach said, 'I feel good, but I'm more happy for the kids. I really wanted them to get this and have this experience.
"You could offer me $1 million, $2 million, $8 million or whatever, but I wouldn't trade the memory of seeing their faces after this game for any amount of money."
When the reporter followed with, "Your players said they wanted to win this for you...," Williams' heart crept into his throat.
"Some parts of that I don't know how to take," the choked-up coach said before calling an end to the impromptu Q&A.
The No. 2-ranked Jayhawks (33-3 overall,16-0 Big 12 Conference) said they wanted to win this game because it would prove Williams' critics wrong. Their coach can win big games in March, they said. He doesn't wilt under pressure and doesn't coach soft teams. He deserved it, the Jayhawks claimed.
"I know there are a lot of doubters out there," junior forward Drew Gooden said. "I know you guys give Coach a lot of heat for not reaching some goals in the past. You can't take anything away from coach Williams."
Williams had been criticized for not leading any of his four previous No. 1 seed teams into the regional finals, but that talk was put to rest yesterday afternoon. The Jayhawks, not the upset-minded Ducks, were the ones behind their coach swaying side to side with their arms around each

Student dies during break cause being investigated
By Meredith Carr Kansan staff writer
The body of University of Kansas student Benjamin Harter was found Wednesday, March 20, at the dental office where he worked at 316 Maine.
Sergeant Mike Patrick of the Lawrence Police Department said police were investigating the death of Harter, a 22-year-old Morrill senior in biochemistry.
He said foul play was not suspected, and toxicology reports were being developed.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway expressed sympathy to the family.
"The tragic death of this talented student is a great loss to the University.

'Hawk fans rejoice
By Jessica Tims
Kansan staff writer
Minutes after the Jayhawk were crowned champs of the NCAA Midwest Region, fans flocked to Jayhawk Boulevard to celebrate the University of Kansas' first Final Four berth since 1993.
Automobiles overflowing with fans drove up and down Jayhawk Boulevard with horns honking, flags waving and cheers pouring forth. A group of more than 200 fans stood in front of Wescoe and Strong halls chanting "Two more games," "Final Four" and "We're not done." Big Jay and Baby Jay also made an appearance in the back of a red truck waving a Jayhawk flag.
"I love the 'Hawks and this is the best atmosphere," Trevor Chipman, Dodge City sophomore said. "Nowhere else in the country are they doing this."
When Lawrence resident Cindy
Dreskovich arrived on Jayhawk Boulevard, she ran directly to the statue in front of Strong Hall.
The celebration did not stop there. The doors to Allen Fieldhouse opened at 6:15 p.m. to fans waiting to welcome the Jayhawks back to Lawrence. Cohen said the original welcome party was scheduled to be held at Memorial Stadium, but was moved
Todd Cohen, assistant director of university relations, said campus police prepared for an unruly crowd by having extra officers on duty during and after the game. Officers directed traffic, stopped passengers from hanging out of cars and truck beds, checked all pedestrians' beverages for alcohol and prevented revelers from climbing trees.
"I rubbed it because it was the first time they have played this good in a long time." she said.

Ruling: KU can't demolish Oread houses
By Lauren Beatty
Xansan staff writer
As University of Kansas students and faculty began their spring break, Ramon Powers quietly made the final decision of his career: not to allow the University to raze three houses it owns on Ohio Street to make room for scholarship halls.
The decision was due from Powers, the state historic preservation officer (SHPO).
March 13, but was pushed back to March 15, the same day Powers retired from his post. Powers issued a letter late in the afternoon which explained his decision.
"The SHPO has determined that the houses at 1323, 1329 and 1333 Ohio Street are character-defining features of the environs of the John Palmer Usher House and therefore, that the proposed demolition of those houses will encroach upon, damage or destroy the environs of
the historic property known as the John Palmer Usher House," Powers wrote.
Powers did not think the houses contributed to the historic environment of Spooner Hall, although it was also on the National Register of Historic Places.
The decision left the University in a quandary because of Powers' retirement that day, Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations, issued a statement which said the University was disappointed
with Powers' decision and that further review was needed. She said because of Power's retirement, she didn't know who to go to with questions.
"There are a couple of points made by the SHPO that need clarification," Bretz said. "How it's going to be handled now is one of our questions."

State budget gap difficult for some to grasp
The Associated Press
TOPEKA Mark Reber acknowledges that he and other Kansans find it hard to grasp the big numbers coming from the Capitol these days, including the estimated $700 million budget shortfall.
But when it's explained in terms of cars, the picture becomes clear.
Reber is a salesman at a Laird Noller dealership lot about a mile from the Statehouse. Parked on its lot is a charcoal gray, four-door Ford Focus with a sticker price of $15,765.
That $700 million — or $698.7 million, to be more precise — would buy that Focus for every full-time state worker, nearly 41,000 cars, with enough left over to cover sales tax and pay for gas.
"That puts it into perspective," Reber said, a little stunned by the idea.
For legislators, $700 million is the projected gap between expected revenues and required spending over the next 15 months.
Legislative leaders tend to think of the number in terms of its potential consequences: reduced spending on education and social services, closing minimum-security prisons, canceling highway projects and forcing government workers to take unpaid vacation days.
Without considering the budget figures in terms of cars or something similar, Reber believes, most Kansans have a hard time understanding them

CAMPUS Administrator leaves for job in Nebraska
Alan Cerveny, director of the Office of Admissions and Scholarships, is leaving to become dean of admissions at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln next month.
Lisa Pinamonti, associate director of admissions and scholarships, will serve as interim director until a fulltime replacement is found.
Cerveny, who came to the University five years ago, said he had tremendous respect for KU and was proud of the recruiting program that he had developed here. He said leaving the University was a tough decision.
"It was difficult particularly because I have been blessed to work with the most dedicated, enthusiastic, and talented admissions staff that I've seen in my 20-plus years in this business," he said.
Cerveny and his wife are originally from Nebraska.
Richard Morrell, university registrar, is the chairman of a nine-member committee that will search for Cerveny's replacement. A decision is expected before the fall semester.
Morrell said the committee represented different parts of the University and not only members of the Office of Admissions and Scholarship staff.
"Through this committee, we intend to get the best person we can for the job," Morrell said.
Student hospitalized after car accident
Paul Hindley, a 20-year-old Overland Park sophomore, remains hospitalized but is in stable condition after a one-car accident early Friday morning March 15.
Hindley, a passenger in the 1995 Nissan Altima, was transported by Life Flight helicopter to the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Two other KU students were in the car. lan Schuster, a 21-year-old Glendale, Mo, junior, was taken by ambulance to Lawrence Memorial Hospital where he was treated and released.
The driver, Ryan Vandover, a 21-year-old St. Louis, Mo., sophomore, was not injured.
vandover lost control of the vehicle while traveling south on Mississippi Street near Jayhawk Boulevard. The vehicle struck a utility pole and a tree after missing a curve.
Vandover was arrested and taken to Douglas County Jail for blood-alcohol testing. Charges were pending based on the results of the test
Lt. Schuyler Bailey with the KU Public Safety Office said alcohol was a factor in the accident.

A prayer for victory
Students ask God to help Jayhawks win tournament
By Maggie Koerth Kansan staff writer
Students do it. Lawrence residents do it. Even ministers do it.
People from all walks of life ask God to help their favorite sports teams. Some pray especially hard now as the Jayhawks work their way through the NCAA tournament.
Julie Robinson, Hill City sophomore, said she thought praying for the Kansas basketball team helped.
"We went to spring break in Mexico and went to mass at a
church there," Robinson said. "After mass, the priest blessed the lavihawks, and they won that day."
Mike Zybko, Kansas City, Kan. sophomore, agreed with Robinson.
"I've been praying for them all season long," he said. "There have been times though when I haven't prayed and then they lost."
Robinson said she was worried when Kansas played Holy Cross in the first game of the tournament.
"When KU started losing we all thought it must have been because they were a Catholic school and had all those people praying for them," Robinson said.
Robinson and Zybko said their priest had prayed for the basketball team during mass yesterday.
But other Lawrence ministers
don't think sports prayers belong in church.
"I wouldn't pray for a sporting event in Sunday worship," said Rev. Sharon Howell, senior pastor at First United Methodist Church, 946 Vermont.
Howell said both she and her parishioners followed Kansas basketball closely. She said she thought God looked at sports as a way for people to enjoy life and interact with each other.
"I just don't know if God cares about who wins," she said.
St. Lawrence Catholic Center, 1631 Crescent Road, parishioner Tom West, Topeka junior, said he didn't pray about Kansas basketball games but knew people who did.
"I think the only thing God really cares about is that nobody
gets hurt and everyone has a good time." West said.
Herb Friedson is a Lawrence resident and member of the Jewish Community Center, 917 Highland Drive. Friedson said he thought it was appropriate for people to pray for anything they cared about.
"Basketball is important to many people and those people will pray about that. I don't think there is anything wrong with it," he said.
Friedson said he knew people who prayed about basketball, but he cared more about last weekend's World Figure Skating Championships.

Preservation officer tied to KU
The University could appeal Powers' decision, but Bretz said no action would take place now except for protection of the houses. She said the gas lines would be shut off at the houses and a fence put up around the properties to keep out vandals. Bretz said the University still wanted to build the two scholarship halls.
"The neighborhood would benefit from new scholarship halls," Bretz said. "We think we could construct halls that are esthetically pleasing and an asset to the Lawrence community."
Hayley Rumback, Wichita senior and Sellants Scholarship Hall resident, said she agreed with Powers' decision.
"The scholarship halls are a wonderful program and they should try to develop it, but maybe at another location."

Kansan staff writer
Ramon Powers had a relationship with the University of Kansas long before he decided March 15 to not let the University tear down three houses on Ohio Street to make room for scholarship halls.
That decision was the 62-year-old Powers' last act as the state historic preservation officer — before retiring that day. It concluded a spirited debate that began last year among the University, the Oread Neighborhood Association and the Lawrence Preservation Alliance over the fate of the houses.
Before Powers started working as state historic preservation officer in 1988, he worked at the University from 1963 to 1967. He earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in history from Fort Hays State University and was a KU Western Civilization instructor from 1963 to 1966. During the 1966-67 school year, Powers served as assistant director of the
Western Civilization program.
James Seaver, professor emeritus of history, was director of the program when Powers was an instructor. Seavers said he remembered Powers well and had followed his career after he left KU.
"Ramon was very well organized, the best of all the professors." Seaver said.
Seaver described Powers as an elegant person who was always diplomatic and got along with his fellow professors.
"He has made decisions that people haven't agreed with, but you can't please everyone," Seaver said.
Powers received his doctoral degree from KU in 1971. He also taught at the University of Missouri at Kansas City and Haskell Indian Junior College.
Powers became the state historic preservation officer in 1988, appointed by then-governor Mike Hayden.
Hotel in Wichita, which was eventually demolished. Some said he didn't try hard enough to preserve it.
As the state historic preservation officer, Powers continued to work with members of KU's faculty. Michael Shaw, associate professor of classics, worked with Powers as a member of the Kansas Preservation Alliance to preserve historic buildings in the state.
"He's done well," Shaw said. "He is known for his calmness, even in our being impatient with him."
Shaw said he had personal respect for Powers, but didn't always agree with him.
"We need to have preservation ordinances and someone must make a decision," Shaw said. "Should it be him? I don't want to comment on that."
Powers declined to be interviewed for this story.

PERSPECTIVE
Remember feeling of free time after return of papers, exams
Welcome back from spring break! Today is that glorious day when we all return to the reality and routine of college.
COMMENTARY
Individuals whose spring break may have consisted of potato chips and Clint Eastwood marathons on TNT probably have no idea what makes this day so special.
It is the rest of you whom I turn my attention to. The ones who came back from Cancun with a tan the shade of oompaa loompa skin. The folks whose faces are red — except for around the area where ski goggles were fused during your continual struggle to stay at the top of a snow-covered mountain. I'm talking to the folks who went home to see their parents and got together with old high school friends.
COMMENTARY
While we spent our respective breaks in a variety of places, we had lists in the backs of our minds of things that were to come. Every time you skied down the mountain, went out to the beach or saw a movie, there were probably two thoughts running through your minds. "Wheel!" and "I have a paper due Wednesday and a presentation on Fridav..."
Justin Henning
opinion@kansan.com
Ah yes, the oxymoronic college siesta,
And now we are back, ready and energized for a strong half to an already stellar semester! Yeah! Let's go!
My break was the sweet taste of freedom. For a few days, I had something at my disposal that I had never had.
It was scary and empowering at the same time. Not knowing what this sensation was, I called my dad and said, "Dad, what do you call a feeling that is scary and empowering at the same time?"
His first response was the punch line to a
blond joke.
But then he said that this was called "free time."
Now, as many of you might have experienced it for the first time, I want to briefly tell you what you are supposed to feel. If you looked at the clock and at 2:30 on Tuesday afternoon you were still wearing what you slept in. this was free time.
If on this same afternoon you did nothing productive, this was free time. If you had a constant headache, this was free time, but you probably should have eaten more than ice cream all week.
But now we are back, and our free time has ended. The days of monumental projects, late nights and anxiety attacks waited patiently for you to get back from vacation.
So as they all three start to set in, smile to yourself about the nothingness, the pointless naps and crazy stories that were your spring breaks. And remember what this sensation called "free time" felt like. It works well against school.
Henning is a Leawood junior in journalism.
PERSPECTIVE
Be daring at enrollment: take a class for fun
Even though Spring Break came and went, it seems as if the semester just began. Even more amazing is the fact another semester is about to begin. Along with new semesters comes the task of pre-enrolling for the fall semester.
COMMENTARY
While this process can often bring headaches — from waiting in long lines to trying to get into closed classes — the pre-enrollment period can also bring lots of hope as well. No matter how well or poorly a student does this semester, the pre-enrollment process brings with it the promise of a new beginning.
James Manning opinion@kansan.com
If a student is doing well, he or she can see continued success in the pre-enrollment process. If a student is down on his or her luck, the pre-enrollment process brings hope of better successes. If a student is feeling in a rut of some sort during his or her college career, this is the time to be considering that rut and what can be done about it.
Oftentimes a students thinks only about what is needed when selecting classes for a new semester. Many college students make a priority of getting out of college as soon as
possible by finishing up as many required courses as they can during one semester. While this is a smart decision, it is also beneficial to think about sanity.
Next semester, consider taking a class strictly for enjoyment's sake. Consider enrolling in a class capable of providing release outside the regular area of study.
For instance, if you enjoy athletic activities take a weight lifting class or try your hand at recreational swimming. Perhaps you love to read. Scan over English literature courses and find a class suited to the particular reading genre that is right for you.
While enrolling in a class outside the major field does take some time and money, these resources could seem very small if relaxation is achieved or a new area of study interest is found. Oftentimes many academic areas also offer minors, so the rewards may come in terms of certification as well.
Maybe you're just unsure of what major you want to pursue. Try some classes in other areas and see if they provide any guidance. You never fully know if a major is right for you until you try a class in the given area.
Most of all, the classes are a way to relax and enjoy the total college experience. They will often allow students to meet others who have similar interests with whom they can build a system of support.
Instead of dreading the cons of enrolling for a new semester, consider all of the benefits enrolling in new classes has to offer. With careful planning you can still graduate on time while making the college experience enjoyable.

Dinners to focus on Latin politics
By Leah Shaffer
Kansan staff writer
Latin American Solidarity, a campus group, has scheduled a month-long series of rice and beans dinner discussions in April that deal with issues ranging from eco-feminism to the Cuban trade embargo. The group's mission is to educate students about Latin American issues and politics in the United States.
"We've been trying to do beans and rice dinners all year but nobody could commit to anything until April, so we decided to do a whole month," said Rebekah Moses, Great Bend senior and LAS treasurer.
The first dinner will be at 6:30 p.m. April 1 at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread. The discussion will be about U.S.-Mexico border relations. Brent Metz, associate
"It's a fun way to learn instead of just reading a book or going to a lecture."
Amanda Cott
President of Latin American Solidarity
director of the Center of Latin American Studies, will speak at the event.
Metz said he would like to examine free trade and the effect of the North American Free Trade Agreement.
"NAFTA has not lived up to its promises so far," he said.
Metz, who taught in Mexico and worked for Mexican migrant legal aid, said that in most cases, free trade was not free because one country was usually more powerful than the other.
Moses said the dinner was a
warmup for a globalization conference from noon to 6 p.m. April 7 at the Centennial Room in the Kansas Union. The conference, "Corporate Agenda vs. People's Agenda," will focus on educating participants about groups such as the World Bank and the World Trade Organization and their effect on corporate-centered globalization.
Amanda Cott, Topeka junior and president of LAS, said the workshop would educate students about how the world is increasingly becoming a global community.
"It's a fun way to learn instead of just reading a book or going to a lecture," Cott said.
Other events in April will include Zapatista, a film showing at 6 p.m. April 14 at Alderson Auditorium and three other rice and beans dinner discussions at ECM.
Derrick Jensen, author of the
book A Language Older than Words, will speak about environmental philosophy at 6:30 p.m. April 16.
Ron Thornburgh, Kansas secretary of state, and Ken Cott, professor of Latin American history at Washburn University, will discuss the trade embargo on Cuba at 6:30 p.m. April 30.
Moses said many Kansans were in favor of lifting the embargo on Cuba because Kansas wheat could be sold to the country. Moses said students should attend the events to become more educated and defy the stereotype that Americans were ignorant about what's going on in the world.

Study: Drinking could benefit heart
"The benefit of drinking can be true, but unfortunately alcoholism and the effects of alcohol are complicated," Robson said. "Whereas some individuals can drink and gain a benefit, there are also likely to be genes that can cause certain individuals to be so susceptible to becoming an alcoholic, although the exact genes are still being searched for."
New research suggests that having one or two drinks per day can help prevent heart attacks in one-fifth of Caucasians who have a specific gene combination.
Summit House Apartments
"Red wine is actually implicated as giving a positive effect
Brandon Henry, Sterling second-year law student, said he usually drank on the weekends. Henry, a Caucasian, said he was more concerned about the negative effects of drinking every day than the benefits.
Robson said that even if moderate drinking helped prevent heart attacks, other issues usually blocked the benefits.
"Even if a study says that I will have a smaller risk of a heart attack by having a couple of drinks every night,I would still be concerned about alcoholism." Henry said. "I have heard that moderate drinking can be beneficial, but I think there are other ways to prevent heart attacks."
much more than alcohol alone, and a lot of research is currently in progress to identify those protective substances in wine," she said.
Now taking applications for Fall 2002
The study found an 86 percent reduction in heart attacks among moderate drinkers who had a specific variation in a gene, compared to light drinkers who did not have that variation. The gene, ADH3, is involved with the breakdown of alcohol.
Robson also said that red wine had been found to benefit the heart more than other types of alcohol.
A study of more than 1,000 Caucasian men found that genetic variations account for the difference in how people respond to the same amount of alcohol. According to the study, conducted by Harvard University researcher Lisa Hines, a moderate drinker was defined as someone who consumed one or two drinks per day.

The study found that one-fifth of Caucasians who inherited two slower processing copies of the ADH3 gene gained extra cardiac protection from alcohol if they drank moderately.
kansan.com
By Summer Lewis Kansan staff writer
the University of Kansas, said ADH3 was one of several genes responsible for producing enzymes that break down ethanol, the main ingredient in alcohol.
The gene is present in two variations in Caucasians. One variation produces an enzyme that quickly breaks apart ethanol, and the second variation's enzymes process ethanol much more slowly. Everyone receives two copies of the gene.
Certain genes are the reason that some people benefit from moderate drinking, while others do not.

Junior forward Drew Gooden cuts down a piece of the net after the Hawks' victory over Oregon yesterday. The victory marks the first time Kansas has advanced to the Final Four since 1993.
JAYHAWKS
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
The Final Four garb featuring Kansas won't be dumped or given to Goodwill like Pac-10 Conference Champion Oregon's will be. The Jayhawks cut down the nets for the second time this season and more than an hour after the game, senior guard Jeff Boschee still had his net draped around his neck.
other singing the alma mater.
"I don't know when I'll take this thing off," the Big 12's all-time leading three-point shooter said with a grin as big as a cantaloupe slice.
Bosche said he got nervous in anticipation of the contest with Oregon (26-9) when he watched the West and South region finals Saturday.
"I had butterflies watching the Oklahoma and Indiana games Saturday," Boschee said. "I started thinking that we were one step away from getting to the Final Four. It was really happening."
Boschew wasn't the only one a bit on edge before the game. Senior forward Jeff Carey said he noticed that Kansas' locker room was a little calmer than usual.
"We're always pretty confident in the locker room before games," he said. "But you could tell some of the guys were nervous. It was the biggest game we've ever been in. Even some of the guys who
normally aren't quiet were a little bit."
As toned down as the Jay hawks might have been in the locker room, it didn't show on the court. Kansas ran up and down the court with reckless abandon.
Sure, the Jayhawks made some silly mistakes and turned the ball over more than they like, but when the game clock expired, there was no trace of the team that was soft-spoken two hours earlier.
Dressed in fresh-out-of-thebox Final Four garb, the Jayhawks jumped up and down in front of their bench and hugged one another as the Kansas band played the fight song. Smiles and laughs were the norm, as were feelings of joy, excitement and some that can't even be expressed.
"I can't describe this feeling to someone unless they've felt it," senior guard Brett Ballard said.
Kansas will play the East Region's No. 1-seed Maryland Saturday in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, but the Jayhawks aren't thinking about that right now. Yesterday was a day to party.
"I'm just happy." Gooden said. "We are at the 'Four.' If you guys stopped asking me questions I could get into that locker room and have a belated celebration with my team."

indoors because of inclement weather.
Chris Sobba, a recent KU law school graduate, arrived at the fieldhouse with a basketball net around his neck. He said he and about 15 friends cut the net from the rim of a Missouri fan's hoop
across the street from his home in Kansas City.
"We kind of had a ceremony," he said. "I asked her permission before we did it. I carried a ladder across the street and let her take the first cut. Then we took turns cutting a piece off. When we got there, she was a Missouri fan. By the time we left, she was a 'Hawks fan.'
Until the players' arrival at 9:25, the crowd was kept entertained with music, trivia and performances by the Crimson Girls. When the team arrived, 10,000 screaming fans were waiting.
The players stood on James Naismith court fielding questions and speaking to fans. One man said his wife would give birth in less than a month, and after watching the team play, he had decided to name the child after freshman guard Keith Langford.
Another fan led the crowd in a chant of "One more year," to persuade junior Drew Gooden not to enter the NBA draft this year.
Before leaving the court for the first official meeting as a Final Four team, Roy Williams asked that the fan meet the team again next Tuesday when they return from Atlanta.

Freshman guard Aaron Miles drives through Oregon's Robert Johnson and Anthony Lever for a layup. Miles had six points and eight assists in yesterday's game.

Kansan sportswriter
MADISON, Wis. — When Kansas' players opened their lockers on the first day of practice in October they found a picture taped to the inside. Coach Roy Williams had posted a photo of the Georgia Dome, site of this season's Final Four, in each locker with the question. "What did you do to get Kansas to Atlanta?"
After the No. 1-seed Jayhawks pasted No.2-seed Oregon 104-86 in the NCAA Tournament's Midwest Region Final at the Kohl Center, the Jayhawks will get a chance to see—and play in—the structure that they've stared at daily for nearly six months.
"We're not going down there for a picnic," freshman forward Wayne Simien
If No. 2-ranked Kansas plays in Atlanta the way the Jayhawks did Sunday afternoon, a national championship is well within their grasp. Kansas (33-3 overall, 16-0 Big 12 Conference) outrebounded the Pac-10 Conference Champion Ducks (26-9) an eye-popping 63-34 in the game and 39-14 in the second-half.
said. "We're going down there to win the title. We've come this far so we might as well do it."
Kansas will face East Region No. 1 seed Maryland Saturday in the National Semifinals.
Junior forwards Drew Gooden, the Midwest Region's Most Outstanding Player, grabbed 20 rebounds and Nick Collison, an All-Midwest Region team member, pulled down 15. Junior guard Kirk Hinrich added nine and freshman
"I told Nick and Drew to get on the backboard," Williams said. "I got on them a little bit in the first half and at halftime because I felt they were trying to be perimeter players. I told them, 'We're going to win this basketball game inside. We're going to win this game on the backboards. I don't need you guys to be perimeter players.'
swingman Keith Langford, the third Kansas player to be named to the All-Midwest Region team, snagged a careerhigh eight.
"Drew took all that as constructive criticism. Twenty rebounds, what more can you say? Nick Collison battled his rear end off."
Five Jayhawks scored in double-figures, led by Collison's 25 points. Langford made 6-of-7 attempts for 20 points in 22 minutes and had a spectacular
dunk on a put-back late in the game that teammate Aaron Miles said broke the Ducks' spirit. Gooden added 18 and Hinrich contributed 14. When senior guard Jeff Boschee, who netted 10 points, hit a three-pointer from the right baseline at the 15:02 mark in the first-half, he became the Big 12's all-time leading three-point shooter.
Oregon's senior Fred Jones, First Team All-Pac-10, led all players with 32 points, but Kansas was able hold the Ducks' high-flying and fast-paced offense in check.

Basketball fans should make tournament trip
SOMEWHERE IN IOWA—In case you were living under a rock yesterday, Kansas advanced to the Final Four for the first time since 1993 by pounding Oregon at the Kohl Center in Madison, Wis.
Perhaps you watched it at a bar, or in the comfort of your home, but thousands of local road warriors saw it firsthand and had remarkable experiences. If you weren't there, you really missed out.
All basketball fans should take a road trip to the tournament at least once during their college days. If you haven't yet, you've got another chance when the Jayhawks play Maryland Saturday in Atlanta at the Final Four.
This year's journey has been magical so far. It was capped off with Kansas' 104-86 plucking of Oregon, but it was made better by thousands of Jayhawks who traveled to the Big Dance and the other adventures along the way.
My five-member road crew rolled through the back-country roads of Iowa and Wisconsin and stopped to spit in the Mississippi River for good luck. Weran into other Kansas fans along the way who shared similar stories while trekking to Madison for the games.
Tensions were high in Madison because it seemed like nobody wanted any blue-clad Kansans to be there.
Most Wisconsin natives gave a cold shoulder and rooted against the Jayhawks. The Oregonians, Texans and even the Kohl Center ushers were against Kansas and its fans. The Jayhawks were as welcome in Madison as Missouri Tigersians in Allen Fieldhouse.
Still, the crimson-and-blue faithful couldn't be stopped. Kansans took over Madison. We took over their streets. We took over their restaurants. We took over their bars. We altered their way of life for three days and forced them to tolerate it.
Kansans were everywhere, from the Wisconsin state capital to the State Street Brats Bar and Grille. Kansans gathered on the corner of State Street at 2:50 a.m. every night and belted out the Rock Chalk Chant at the top of their lungs. Strangers became instant friends simply for wearing Jayhawk apparel.
Everyone there shared the same goal as those watching on TV at home — to see the 'Hawks get to the Final Four — but the desire seemed to burn hotter where you were there and had traveled 10 or more hours to see it in person with a few thousand other people.
Perhaps that's the real beauty of taking a road-trip to the NCAA tournament — the experience of just being there. Regardless, I recommend you try it now while you have the best team in the nation to follow.
I'm not one for apologizing, but I'm sorry if this column is a little bit choppy. It's being written and sent from the back of a van on the way home from the game. There's no other way to write from the road.

Kansas suffers 17-run loss to cap dismal spring break
Baseball team gives up 28 hits sets school record for hits given up in a game
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
During a cold and rainy Sunday afternoon, the Kansas baseball team suffered its worst defeat of the season, losing 22-5 to Oral Roberts at Hoglund Ballpark.
"It was a tough day to play," coach Bobby Randall said, "but we didn't play very tough."
Senior Jake Wright suffered the loss, pitching just 2/2/3 innings. The Golden Eagles pounded out 28 hits, setting a team record for most hits and a Kansas record for most hits allowed. Every starter for Oral Roberts had at least two hits, and seven of them tallied three or more.
the jayhawks (11-9 overall, 1-5 Big 12 Conference) didn't score until the fifth inning, when they were already down 18-0. Four errors, including two on potential double play balls, didn't help matters either
"Jake was having a hard time letting it go today," Randall said, "and they were really teeing off on him."
"Nothing that we did today was of the quality that we expect." Randall said.
Freshman catcher Cole Armstrong went 4-for-4
Freshman Tyson Bothof was the most effective Kansas pitcher of the day. He threw 4 2/3 innings of relief, striking out four while walking three.
with a home run, and junior first baseman Kevin Wheeler hit his fourth home run of the season.
"I thought Tyson came in and battled his tail off," Randall said. "I was very pleased with what he did."
Notes
The Jayhawks started their spring break with a dismal five-game road trip in Texas, dropping three to Baylor and two to Texas-Pan American. They returned home Friday for a game against Michigan. After losing the lead in the top of the ninth inning, pinch-hitter Adam Rachlin provided a dramatic game-winning three-run home run in the bottom of the ninth, giving Kansas a 9-7 victory.
"I was just looking to hit the ball hard and let it go where it would," Rachlin said. "And that's how it happened."
Sophomore outfieldier Matt Trible went 2-for-4 and hit his team-leading fifth home run of the season. Junior Ryan Jakubov got the win in relief.
- Sophomore second baseman Ryan Baty's 0-for-3 performance yesterday snapped his 13-game hitting streak, the longest by a Jaihawk this season.
Kansas was scheduled to play Michigan yesterday, but the game was canceled because of the weather. The Jayhawks will play at Creighton on Tuesday.

Softball team notches six victories loses five during spring break
The Jayhawks' first conference match-up was a double header against Oklahoma State.
The Kansas softball team won six games during spring break, including two against Big 12 Conference opponents, and improved its record to 17-12 overall and 2-2 in the Big 12.
The Jayhawks finished with a 3-3 record in the Capital Classic Softball tournament, March 14 to 16, in Sacramento, Calif. Kansas beat San Jose State, Miami (Ohio) and Middle Tennessee while suffering losses to Syracuse, No. 7 California and No. 5 Nebraska.
Kansas earned a 4-0 win in the first game behind a career-first no-hitter by sophomore pitcher Kara Pierce.
The Jayhawks headed home to play Bradley on March 19. Kansas needed just five innings for an 8-0, run-rule victory.
"Kara was outstanding in the first game," Bunge said. "We are starting to see the Kara Pierce we saw
"Offensively, we hit the ball hard consistently," coach Tracy Bunge said. "We were glad to finish this one up early with the temperatures dropping. We are ready to turn it up a notch heading into Big 12 play."
during the second half of last season "
The second game was a role reversal when the Oklahoma State pitcher allowed just two hits and struck out 14 Kansas batters as the Jayhawks fell 4-1.
Kansas then traveled to Baylor for its first Big 12 road game. The Jayhawks broke Baylor's 24-home game winning streak with a 2-1 victory on Saturday. Pierce earned her second Big 12 win and improved to 8-4 for the year. Freshmen pitcher Serena Settlemier picked up the first save of her collegiate career, pitching the final two innings.
"I thought it was a good win for us," Bunge said. "I was really pleased with the job Serena Settlemier did in relief. It was a hard fought victory and both sides played well."
The Jayhawks ended spring break with a 1-0 loss to Baylor yesterday. The Bears scored the only run of the game in the third inning. Kansas threatened in the top of the fourth but stranded three base runners.
Kansas plays again Wednesday against Arkansas in Fayetteville with the double header starting at 3 p.m.

TENNIS Jayhawks win two matches, stays undefeated in Big 12
The Kansas tennis team backed up its No.38 ranking by the International Tennis Association by winning matches against South Florida and the Colorado during spring break.
The Jayhawks won all three doubles matches against the Buffaloes and dominated singles play as they cruised to a 5-2 victory. The Jayhawks are now 4-0 in the Big 12 Conference.
"This was a good week, everyone has worked well together and we are really starting to jell as a team," coach Kilmeny Waterman said. "The bottom of our line up came through today and is gaining more and more confidence throughout the season and that is great to see."
Kansas was also successful in its trip to Florida, defeating University of South Florida, 7-0. The second match against the Central Florida was canceled because of inclement weather.
The Jayhawks now post a 9-3 record on the season. Kansas comes home to face No.27-ranked Baylor at 1 p.m. Saturday and No.50 Iowa at 11 a.m. Sunday.

Track team begins outdoor season, 11 titles won at weekend meet
By Matt Norton Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas track team opened the outdoor season with the return of several key performers Friday and Saturday at the Southern Illinois Spring Classic in Carbondale, Ill.
Senior All-Americans Charlie Gruber, Jabari Wamble and Andrea Bulat, who all sat out the
indoor season, competed for the Jayhawks, as well as former Big 12 Conference champion Mark Meneefe. The men's team captured five first-place fin

ishes, and the women won six titles over the weekend.

Coach Stanley Redwine said he was happy with the opening
performance of the outdoor season.
"It was our first outdoor meet of the season in indoor-type weather," Redwine said. "The people who had redshirted came back and did really good. It was windy and cold, but everyone still competed hard and did well for this time of year."
Bulat claimed a NCAA provisional qualifying mark in the lavelin with a toss of 154-8.
Bulat said she was still working on lengthening her approach to gain speed heading into her throws. She is working on adding a longer sprint to the beginning of her approach.
Bulat said she was excited to begin testing the new approach at the Texas Relays in two weeks. The meet in Austin, Texas, is known as a great competition in the throwing events.
"I'm really excited," she said.
"It's definitely a confidence boost

that I could throw that far with just the crossovers."
Gruber, a four-time All-American, won the 1,500 meters in a conservative 3:53.54 seconds.
Gruber said he and fellow senior Brian Blachly trailed the pack through 800 meters, passed the two-lap mark in 2:11, and surged away from the rest of the pack.
Blachly finished second in 3:55.10.
While not pleased with the time, Gruber said he was happy with his effort.
"It's a good early-season meet and something to build off of," he said.
Other winners for the Jayhawks were Menefee in the 5,000 meters, senior Pete Prince in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, junior Vadim Gvozdetskiy in the pole vault, senior Scott Russell in the discus, senior Katy Eisenmenger in the 800, sophomore Laura Lavoie in the 1,500, senior Jennifer Foster in the discus and senior Jennie Wonder, freshman Brooklyn Hann, senior Shameika McField and freshman Kim Clark in the 4x400-meter relay.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — On a night when Maryland's senior stars led the way, struggling junior Steve Blake hit the shot that sealed a second straight trip to the Final Four.
The No. 1-seeded Terrapins beat second-seeded Connecticut 90-82 Sunday in an East Regional final where the lead swung back and forth for most of the final 13 minutes.
Lonny Baxter had a seasonhigh 29 points, and fellow senior Juan Dixon scored 27 for Maryland, which reached the 30-victory mark for the first time in school history.
But as the shot clock wound down in the final minute of the tight game, Blake sank a 3-pointer — his first points of the evening — to make it 86-80.
"We have tough guys. We didn't think we would lose this game." Maryland coach Gary Williams said. "We're going back. We want to do something this year."
"That shot was the biggest one I could hit for this team," said Blake, who had been banished to the bench by coach Gary Williams
just minutes before his key bucket
Maryland (30-4) will play another No.1 seed, Kansas, on Saturday in Atlanta. The Jayhawks beat Oregon 104-86 in the Midwest Regional final.
Just as there was no wild celebration after their regional semifinal win over Kentucky, the Terrapins were again matter of fact after beating Connecticut (27-7) in one of the best games of the NCAA tournament.
Maryland scored the final eight points of the first half to take a 44-37 lead — UConn's biggest deficit of the tourney to that juncture — but sophomore forward Caron Butler brought the Huskies back.
Hehad 26 of his 32 points in the second half, most in a basket-for-basket run with the Terrapins which saw neither team lead by more than three points from the 14-minute mark until the final 36 seconds.
Baxter, the regional's Most Outstanding Player, was 7-for-12 from the field, 15-for-18 from the free throw line and grabbed nine rebounds. He had 24 points and 10 rebounds in the teams' first meeting this season, a 77-65 Maryland victory on Dec. 3.
Tony Robertson had 15 points, and Taliek Brown had 12 for UConn.
The Huskies, who had won 12 games in a row, kept this one close.
Butler, who had a career-high 34 points in last Sunday's second-round victory over North Carolina State, only played 13 minutes in the first half because of foul trouble.
He hit his first three 3-point attempts in the second half, the last of which gave the Huskies a 54-53 lead with 13:11 left.
Chris Wilcox added 13 points for Maryland, which shot 50.9 percent (27-for-53) from the field and was 31-for-35 on free throws.
Baxter gave Maryland the lead for good with a hook shot that made it 81-79 with 2:08 left.
The Terrapin lost to eventual champion Duke in the national semifinals last season — when they made the first Four Tour trip in school history. Now Maryland heads back having won 17 of 18 games, the only loss coming to North Carolina State in the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament semifinals.

University of Kansas students, from left, John Strichland, Lawrence sophomore, Jon Bowen, Olathe sophomore, Nick Sinnard, Lawrence sophomore, and Dustin Snider, Overland Park junior, show their team loyalty. They were waiting in Allen Fieldhouse for the Kansas men's basketball team to arrive.
ATLANTA CONTINUED FROM 1B
my calluses removed last night because I needed new wheels.
"It was a fun game to play in, a really fun game, but it hurt my feet."
Oregon tried to slow down the game early and force the ball inside to the 7-foot-2, 300-pound behemoth Chris Christoffersen, but the plodding center proved a liability on defense and Kansas led 40-28 with 5:40 left before halftime. The rout seemed to be on. But Ducks coach Ernie Kent went with a smaller lineup and Oregon was able to run with the Jayhawks. Less than thee minutes later the Ducks had tied the game 40-40, but Kansas responded by outsourcing them 8-2 in the final two
minutes of the half.
"I thought we went better in the match-up when we went small," Kent said. "But I remember when we got it to 40-40 with two minutes to go, then boom-boom, bad shot, bad defensive stand and then they're right back on us again. Going in at the half we were a little ragged."
Kansas and Oregon played even for the first 10 minutes of the second-half, but a 13-5 Duck run in a two-minute span brought them within five, 77-72. Like the first-half, the Jayhawks responded with a streak of their own, 14-3, over the next five minutes and all but ended Oregon's upset bid.
"We're going to the Final Four and there are a lot of teams that people think are tougher than us that are at home," he said. "If they want to say we're soft, that's fine."
That killer instinct and Kansas' toughness inside should put to bed any talk that the Jayhawks are soft, Colliison

While some students will be watching the Final Four at home or at local bars, others will make the 840-mile journey to Atlanta to watch the Jayhawks play Maryland Saturday.
Simmy Lancaster, Edina, Minn., junior, is driving to Atlanta with five of her Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority sisters. The women were selected in the student ticket lottery in January and confirmed their tickets at Allen Fieldhouse yesterday.
Lancaster said they planned on driving through the night until they got to Atlanta.
"Yahoo said it would take 15 hours to get there," Lancaster said. "But we're hoping it's more like 12 hours."
Lancaster said the six women decided to go to the Final Four long before the Big 12 Tournament started.
The women found out that they had won the opportunity to buy Final Four tickets in early February. They won't pick up their tickets until they arrive at the Georgia Dome on Saturday.
Lancaster said the women decided to spend more money to get the best seats possible. For lower-level tickets to both semifinals Saturday and Monday's championship, each girl will pay $165.
"They had tickets for cheaper than that, but we wanted good seats," Lancaster said.
Shelly Ragsdale, McKinney, Texas, junior and another of the group of six, said that if KU made it to the championship game, she and her friends were thinking of driving to Lawrence right
after the game ended.
"If they win, we want to be a part of the celebration on Tuesday," she said.
Graham Winch, Marietta, Ga., junior, said it would be too expensive to go to Atlanta. He said he wanted to be in Lawrence during the Final Four weekend.
"I want to be where the people are celebrating and partying," he said. "I
don't think I would have as much fun in Atlanta as I would in Lawrence."

Tickets scarce during 2002 Final Four
Bv Maqgie Koerth
By Maggie Koerth Kansan staff writer
Max Carr, Wellington senior, is one of the lucky few with a seat in Georgia.
KU basketball fans who don't already have tickets for the NCAA tournament probably won't be able to get them through KU.
The NCAA makes 4,500 tickets to Saturday's and Monday's Georgia Dome games available to the University, but those tickets have been spoken for since February.
Carr entered the student ticket lottery about a month and a half ago. He said about two weeks later he was told the sites for which he had tickets.
"I got tickets to about every site I wanted," he said. "But I know people who didn't get tickets at all."
Richard Konzem, associate athletics director, said students, faculty, alumni and staff who want tickets complete an order form in January letting the athletics department know what game sites they would like to attend. The department then holds a ticket lottery for each site. Winners are notified by the end of February.
Konzem said people who won the lotteries for the Final Four had until 5 p.m. yesterday to confirm that they wanted their tickets.
Konzem said the current ticket system had been in place since 1986.
"Before that, we really hadn't had a plan. It was just chaos," he said. "I remember standing on a trash can outside Allen Fieldhouse talking to hundreds of students who wanted to know how we were getting tickets."
Konzem said the current system rewards those who plan ahead.
nose who don't win the lotteries are given first chance on cancellations by the winners. He said there were usually cancellations.
"That comes from planning for this back in January. People's plans change and maybe they only need two tickets instead of four or they can't afford the tickets." Konzem said.
When cancellations do occur, Konzem said the athletics department calls people who lost the lotteries and other people on their waiting list to see if they want the tickets. If those applicants don't want them, the tickets are made available to the public.
Konzem said it was rare for there to be extra tickets left. If there were extra tickets, Konzem said it would be
announced by Wednesday in a press release. The tickets would then be available on a first come, first serve basis.
Beyond the KU athletics department, tickets are available through ticket scalpers.
A Web site called www.finalfourtickets.com has tickets for sale at prices ranging from $300 to $4500 for courtside seats.
The tickets' face value ranges from $120 to $160.
Another site, www.sportticket.com, posts offers for tickets as well as ticket wanted ads from fans.

Committee deliberates financial aid improvements
By Meredith Carr Kansan staff writer
Rv Meredith Carr
Janet Roecker, associate director of Student Financial Aid, gave a presentation to the committee that addressed how financial aid needs and funds will grow over the proposed five-year tuition increase phase-in period.
The Office of Student Financial Aid met with the Ad Hoc Committee on University Funding yesterday afternoon to discuss how to improve financial aid in light of the proposed tuition increase.
The office considered pushing the deadline for applications back to April 1 to allow students more time to complete the forms, but Chris Johnson, associate director of Student Financial Aid, said if the deadline was pushed back, the financial aid money would have been overspent.
Considered improvements included library facilities, better technology and improvements to the physical structures of KU buildings. The committee is also looking into creating additional faculty positions, improving graduate teaching assistant salaries and offering more minority recruitment programs.
He also said students currently in the Office of Student Financial Aid's database would have their financial aid needs met, but students that have not applied will be allocated the moneyleft over.
The committee also worked on how to spend the proceeds of the tuition increase, and committee members discussed uses for the funds.
The committee will rank the possi bilities according to the importance of
"We have limited funds, and we're hoping this will influence students to apply earlier," Johnson said.
the improvement and the appropriateness of using student funds for those purposes. Committee members expect the state will continue to meet its obligations to funding for the University.
"The furthest we've gone is looking at the state's role in what we think they should pay for in their role for higher education," Bell said.
Jamel Bell, graduate senator and committee member, said the committee has not looked at the current $685 million budget shortfall the state is facing.
KU administrators are still lobbying for the Kansas Legislature to increase KU funds and pass State Bill 345, which would increase faculty salaries.
The committee will meet again in an open meeting at 1 p.m. on Thursday at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union.
Dallas Rakestraw, Nunemaker student senator and committee co-chairman, said he hoped to see more students at Thursday's meeting.
"We have limited funds, and we're hoping this will influence students to apply earlier."
Chris Johnson Associate director of Student Financial Aid
"We value the students' perspective and opinion." Rakestraw said. "Most of the time they bring up issues that sometimes got lost in committee."

Greek petition threatened by technicality
By Sarah Hill Kansan staff writer
A student-generated petition to give greek housing off-campus representation in Student Senate might not appear on the senate election ballot this spring, due to a technicality.
The ballot option would ask students if they support residents of greek housing being represented by off-campus senators. Residents of greek housing are currently represented by Panhellenic and Interfraternity Council senators.
Andy Knopp, engineering senator and Interfraternity Council president, spearheaded the initiative after a bill failed in Senate last month. Knopp collected more than 1,100 names, KUIDs and signatures of students who supported the initiative. However, the petition did not ask for the students' addresses and phone numbers, which is also required information for a student-generated petition.
"For us to say that we won't follow the rules and regulations portrays our body as arbitrary and biased." David Mitchel
David Mitchell Elections commissioner
COMING IN THE KANSAN THIS WEEK:
Knopp said he printed all the petitions and then saw the required information in the Senate Rules and Regulations, which outlines rules for Senate and the elections.
"I still didn't think it was necessary," he said.
Knopp said he called Elections Commissioner David Mitchell to check whether he needed the extra information. He said Mitchell told him it wasn't needed.
"I've had probably a thousand meaningful conversations about the elections code and rules and regulations over the last couple of months," Mitchell said. "Hopefully people will understand if I can't clearly remember exactly what I said."
Mitchell said that he couldn't remember their exact conversation, but said Knopp's proper course of action would have been to consult the rules and regulations or someone in the Senate office.
Mitchell said that because of debate this year about the election code, he wanted to make sure that the elections commission upheld the rules and regulations in every case.
If it appears on the election ballots, the initiative would show student opinion on the issue of greek representation, but would not change the rules and regulations until next year.
"For us to say that we won't follow the rules and regulations portrays our body as arbitrary and biased," he said.
INSIDETODAY
Knopp said that he was going back through the petitions and adding the phone numbers and addresses of the students. The issue will appear on the ballot if this process is completed in time. Knopp said the process was frustrating but worth the effort.
"Over 1,100 students want this on the ballot," he said. "It's a big enough issue that small details shouldn't get in the way."
The petitioning commission will meet at 5:30 p.m. tomorrow at Alcove B in the Kansas Union. The meeting is open to everyone.

Proposed plan would add acres to Kill Creek park
OLATHE — Johnson County would receive 2,800 acres at the former Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant under a plan U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts announced yesterday.
Roberts, R-Kan., said he would introduce legislation ensuring the federal government would transfer land adjacent to Kill Creek Regional Park to the Johnson County Park and Recreation District.
Roberts said his legislation would reiterate the Army's obligation to clean up the 9,065-acre plant, which is contaminated with explosive materials, asbestos and pesticides.
materials, assessors and publications
The General Services Administration still would have to find a buyer or buyers for the other 6,025 acres at the site outside DeSoto.
Johnson County would have received 2,800 acres under a failed plan to develop the site into a Wizard of Oz-related theme park and resort complex. Johnson County commissioners blocked that proposal in October.
Teacher charged with ordering child pornography
Authorities said Jeffrey Klazura, 29, ordered pornographic photographs and images of minors over the Internet.
Klazura, who has taught science and religion at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School since 2000, was suspended Friday, parish officials said. The school had scheduled a meeting Sunday night to discuss the situation with parents.

Liquor budget cut proposed
The Associated Press
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - A proposed 85 percent budget cut to the state Liquor Control Division would pretty much shutdown the agency responsible for enforcing alcohol laws, said the agency's director.
Supporters of the cut said yesterday that it would streamline the division, remove burdensome bureaucracy and free up money for alcohol and drug abuse treatment.
Last week, the House Budget Committee endorsed a $19 billion state budget for next fiscal year, including about $600,000 for the Division of Liquor Control — $3.5 million less than this year's budget.
The fiscal 2003 budget is expected to be considered by the full House when lawmakers return from spring break April2.
Most of the money was cut by Rep. Chuck Graham, D-Columbia, who is unhappy with how Liquor Control operates in his community, the home of the University of Missouri-Columbia.
His budget amendment transferred 67 employee positions at Liquor Control to the state Division of Alcohol and Drug Abuse for treatment programs.
Graham said his intent was to eliminate Liquor Control enforcement agents while leaving just enough money to issue liquor licenses. The state collects about $30 million annually in liquor license fees.
But if the proposed budget cut becomes law, Liquor Control may be unable to issue licenses, said Keith Fuller, supervisor of the Missouri Division of Liquor Control.
The cut "would make issuing state liquor licenses nearly impossible, it would make collecting taxes and fees in the amount of nearly $30 million nearly impossible and it would make enforcement of liquor licenses essentially impossible," Fuller said.
About 12,000 bars and restaurants must apply or reapply to the state for liquor licenses each year. Many establishments have several state licenses, including special ones for Sunday sales and catering. All told, the division annually issues 24,000 licenses.
Most cities and counties also issue liquor licenses.
Most cities and countries also use the Liquor Control with nine employees, Fuller said. The division currently has six offices throughout the state, including in Kansas City, Springfield and St. Louis.
Librarians aren't 'thought police'
Law requiring Internet regulation taken to court over constitutionality
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — A trial over the constitutionality of a federal law requiring libraries to screen out Internet pornography opened yesterday with librarians complaining the government is trying to turn them into the "thought police."
The case is being heard in federal court by a three-judge panel. The trial is expected to last for nine days.
Leading the challenge to the Children's Internet Protection Act of 2000 are the American Library Association and the Multnomah County, Ore., Public Library. They contend the law puts unconstitutional restraints on free speech.
They want to offer patrons a choice between filtered and unfiltered Internet access, contending that parents and children should be the ones who determine what content they find unacceptable.
"There are some 5-year-olds whose parents do not want them to know where babies come from and there are some that do," testified Ginnie Cooper, director of the Multnomah County library, which serves 500,000 people. "We don't try to presume the values of parents."
Libraries stock numerous materials, ranging from sex education manuals to Playboy, that would probably not get past filtering software, testified Candace Morgan, a Washington state librarian for 37 years.
The law requires that libraries receiving certain types of federal technology funding use filters to block access to objectionable Web sites. Opponents say the software can also block access to sites providing valuable information on topics such as breast cancer and sexually transmitted diseases while failing to block pornographic sites.
"Librarians are uniquely qualified to teach library patrons how to find the content they want and avoid inappropriate content without the government trying to deputize them into the thought police," said Ann Beeson for the American Civil Liberties Union, which is arguing the case for the plaintiffs.
unblock sites that were blocked in error. The government also contends that printed pornographic materials are not in many library collections, so there is no reason why online obscenity should be.
“Your policy is just plug in the (Internet) service and essentially tell patrons, 'Don't break the law,' is that correct?” asked Timothy Zick, a Justice Department attorney.
"Yes." Morgan replied
Libraries that do not comply by July 2002 would lose federal technology funding.
Civil liberties groups have challenged other federal laws aimed at restricting Internet access to minors. One of the cases was heard in December by the Supreme Court, which has not yet ruled, and another has already been struck down as unconstitutional.
Former policeman retried for 1997 attack
The Associated Press
NEWYORK—A former police officer awaiting retrial in the torture of Abner Louima was indicted Monday on perjury charges.
denied being present when the Halitan immigrant was assaulted.
According to federal prosecutors, Charles Schwarz lied at a trial in 2000 when he denied escorting Louma inside a Brooklyn stationhouse and when he
Schwarz has denied he was in the 70th Precinct bathroom when Officer Justin Volpe sodomized Louima with a broken broomstick. After Volpe pleaded guilty in the 1997 attack, a jury convicted Schwarz of violating Louima's civil rights by holding him down during the assault.
"This defendant, having taken an oath that he would testify truthfully, took the witness stand at a federal criminal trial and repeatedly lied about the circumstances surrounding the sexual assault of Abner Louima," U.S. Attorney Alan Vinegrad said in a statement.
Schwarz's attorney, Ronald Fischetti, did not immediately
return a telephone call for comment.
Last month, a federal appeals court overturned Schwarz's conviction and that of two other former police officers found guilty of obstruction. The court found that Schwarz's lawyer had a conflict of interest and that the jury was tainted because it was aware of Volpe's secret plea.
Trial ordered in trooper case
The Associated Press
HOUSTON, Mo. — A Texas County woman must stand trial on charges related to the death of a Missouri State Highway Patrol trooper who was hit while working a wreck on a dark and foggy highway.
Julie A. Hartman, 39, of Houston, was ordered bound over on charges of involuntary manslaughter and second-degree assault, following a preliminary hearing yesterday in Texas County Associate Circuit Court.
Authorities allege Hartman's vehicle struck and killed
trooper Kelly Poynter about 1 a.m. on Jan. 18 near a crash on U.S. 63.
Investigators also allege Hartman was driving too fast for conditions. She was believed to be driving about 60 mph—the speed limit—but foglimited visibility, authorities said.
Authorities allege Hartman was under the influence of alcohol. Blood tests revealed alcohol concentrations beneath the legal limit, said Hartman's attorney, Joe Passanise.
Hartman, free on $100,000 bond, was ordered to appear May7 for formalarraignment.

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — Police serving a murder warrant on Norris Christopher Baggitt, a Fayetteville State University student wanted on a murder charge in South Carolina, found an armed robbery at a dormitory.
While in Baggitt's dorm Saturday, police encountered five men who were robbing students in several rooms. One student was shot in the finger during the robberies.
Police arrested two suspects, Brian Smith, 26, and David Smith, 23, and were searching for the other three Sunday. It was unclear if the Smiths were related. They were not students.
The student who was wounded, Frederick Johnson, was treated at a hospital and released. Investigators said they found marijuana, a gun and other weapons in his room. They arrested Johnson and his roommate, Atif Jamar Davis, on Sunday.
until he the Smiths were released. Wike had few details about the warrant for Baggitt's arrest, but said the homicide occurred sometime in the last few weeks during the school's spring break.
Mother of abused child calls for reform in Church
The Associated Press
WICHTITA — A woman who claims her son was molested by a former priest in the Diocese of Wichita said she hoped recent allegations against other priests would lead to change in the Roman Catholic Church.
"It's long overdue that this stuff gets cleaned up in the church," said Janet Patterson's son, Eric, committed suicide in 1999, months after telling one of his sisters he had been molested by the Rev. Robert Larson when he was an altar boy in Conway Springs.
"I feel hopeful for the future of the church. For the time being, they're taking a terrible hit," she said.
Larson is serving a sentence of 3 to 10 years after pleading guilty last year to one count of indecent liberties with a child and three counts of sexual battery.
All were related to incidents between 1984 and 1986 at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Newton. Larson has not publicly acknowledged abusing Eric.
Paul Schwartz, who was one of the victims Larson admitted molesting, said that while he was saddened by the allegations against other priests, they also gave him a sense of vindication.
"It's reopening old wounds, but in a positive way, if that's possible," said Schwartz, who served as an altar boy at St. Mary's in the mid-1980s.
"It's a matter of, I'm not the only one — see, I was telling the truth," Schwartz said.
The clergy sex scandal exploded in Boston in January after newly released documents revealed that former priest John J. Geoghan had been moved from parish to parish following accusations of sexual abuse.
Since then, the archdiocese has provided prosecutors with the names of about 80 priests accused of sexually abusing children over the past 40 years.
Dozens of priests — out of more than 47,000 nationwide — have been suspended or forced to resign.
"It just makes me angry that so many people had to suffer in silence all these years," Patterson said.
The new allegations have brought attention to Patterson, who has been asked to appear on national television shows and to be interviewed for news articles.
While it's always painful to talk about her son's suffering and death, Patterson said, she welcomed the opportunities.
"I'm glad to get Eric's story out," said Patterson, who has set up a hot line for abuse victims.
"His story can be added to all the other stories that are out there."

Families of Sept.11 victims to hear crash recording
The Associated Press
Relatives of the 40 passengers and crew killed aboard United Flight 93 will be allowed to listen to the recordings of what went on in the cockpit Sept. 11 when some passengers apparently rushed the hijackers, the FBI says.
The highly unusual decision was approved by FBI Director Robert Mueller, an FBI official speaking on condition of anonymity said yesterday.
The jetliner crashed in the Pennsylvania countryside after some passengers apparently fought back with the cry, "Let's roll!"
The FBI official said families of the crash victims will be allowed to listen to the audio recordings in a single, private session in Princeton, N.J., on April 18. The San Francisco Chronicle first reported

Check it off
the FBI's offer over the weekend.
"I don't know what I'm going to hear, but I need to hear it," said Patrick Welsh, whose 49-year-old wife, Deborah, was the lead flight attendant on board.
"It's going to be a horrific thing to listen to. In some ways, it may appear almost masochistic, after what all of us have been through. But you're trying to find a truth, trying to get some more information about the events."
The jet crashed in a field in Shanksville, Pa., after setting out from Newark, N.J., for San Francisco. It had turned mid-flight and apparently was headed toward Washington when it went down with four hijackers aboard.
The National Transportation Safety Board, which investigates aviation accidents, has never allowed relatives to listen to cockpit tapes, spokesman Ted Lopatkiewiczsaid.

Health officials meet, address bioterrorism
The conference agenda,usually filled with sessions on obscure diseases and small outbreaks, is dominated this year by information on anthrax and smallpox — considered among the most dangerous terrorist agents. The anthrax-by-mail attacks killed five people last fall and sickened 13 others.
"The national system was overwhelmed" by the anthrax scare last fall, said Dr. James Hughes, chief of infectious diseases at the Atlanta-based CDC. "Clearly we learned that we were not adequately prepared. This was a small attack."
ATLANTA — Hundreds of health officials descended on Atlanta this week for an annual conference on emerging infectious diseases and were warned that terrorists might try to spread deadly germs through the food supply.
Hughes said health experts must consider the possibility of genetically altered germs, the release of more than one agent at a time, or transmission through animals and the food supply.
To guard against deadlier attacks, the CDC is distributing $918 million to state and local health departments later this year and next year. The CDC is encouraging them to give priority to upgrading labs and training health workers on how to recognize diseases like anthrax and smallpox.

Middle East leaders consider truce
Arafat's presence unsure for a summit addressing a U.S. peace proposal
JERUSALEM — Palestinian and Israeli leaders separately pondered a U.S. truce proposal yesterday, while the United States pressed a reluctant Israel to let Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat attend this week's Arab summit in Beirut regardless of whether a cease-fire is reached.
The Associated Press
The Israeliis and Palestinians held separate consultations late last night, with U.S. officials pressing for quick answers about their ideas to bridge gaps over implementing a truce plan negotiated last June by CIA Director George Tenet.
It appeared that a planned three-way meeting would have to be put off until today because of the consultations, a diplomatic source said.
The Palestinian leadership said Arafat's participation is a "Palestinian right and the Palestinian leadership rejects any Israeli blackmail."
tomatic source skin.
Time was running out for an Israeli decision about whether Arafat would travel to the Beitruit summit, which begins tomorrow.
Jibril Rajoub, a senior Palestinian security official, claimed that Arafat's participation in the summit was "100 percent assured."
"The decision will be made very close to the time of the summit," Gissin told The Associated Press.
Sharon has insisted that a cease-fire be in place before Arafat leaves the Palestinian areas. Israel controls entry and exit of those areas.
Raanan Gissin, an aide to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, said the decision would be made today or tomorrow morning.
At the United Nations, spokesman Fred Eckhard said Secretary-General Kofi Annan was calling on Israel to allow Arafat to attend because the meeting is "expected to endorse an important peace proposal."
For three months, Israeli tanks confined Arafat to his West Bank headquarters in Ramallah. Israel eased the restrictions two weeks ago, allowing him to travel freely in the Palestinian areas, but he has still not left the Ramallah area.
The Palestinian issue is to be a focus of the two-day Arab League summit, where Saudi Arabia is to present a proposal for Mideast peace.
Mideast peace. Arab League chief Amr Moussa said the summit also would address the occupation of Arab land and threats against an unspecified Arab country — a reference to U.S. threats of military action against Iraq, and threats to Islamic culture.
According to a text sent to the Palestinians, the peace proposal calls for an end to the Israel-Arab conflict in exchange for a full Israeli withdrawal from lands it captured in the 1967 war—the West Bank, Gaza Strip, east Jerusalem, Golan Heights and a tiny parcel of disputed land on the Lebanon border.
Israel's government rejects a total withdrawal.
There is also a hot dispute over the difficult issue of the nearly 4 million Palestinian war refugees and their descendants that is not resolved by the Saudi proposal.
Arab foreign ministers met yesterday in Beirut under tight security and were said to be working on phrasing to address that issue.
Sharon presented his own peace plan with the Palestinians yesterday. He told members of his Likud party that he favored a three-stage process, starting with a cease-fire, then an open-ended partial agreement and finally talks on a peace accord.
Argentina's currency falls as recession looms
The Associated Press
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — New government restrictions on currency trading did little to halt the peso's crumbling value yesterday as worried Argentines flooded exchange houses seeking dollars as a safeguard.
The peso tumbled 20 percent despite government moves to scale back trading hours and fix prices at some currency houses, falling for the sixth straight day to 3.9 to the dollar. The peso closed at 3.1 Friday.
The weakening currency offered up a new problem to those already plaging President Eduardo Duhalde's attempts to rescue Argentina from a four-year recession.
The peso's depreciation comes amid concerns a spike in consumer goods prices could push the troubled country into further economic chaos.
The battered peso has lost more than 65 percent of its value since January, and Argentines worried the economy is again taking a turn for the worst crowded Buenos Aires banks and exchange houses to shed their pesos.
The currency's plunge follows a decision two months ago to let the peso float against the dollar. The devaluation has raised fears of inflation and further turmoil in South America's second-largest economy.
"I'll pay any price. Buying dollars is the only way I can protect my money."
Estela Solari
Buenos Aires housewife
For more than a decade until the January devaluation, the peso had been pegged at one-to-one with the dollar, making the Argentine currency one of the most stable in Latin America.
But those days seemed a distant memory yesterday for many Argentines.
Immersed in a four-year recession, the battered economy has triggered a $141 billion debt default and pushed thousands of Argentines into unemployment, now at more than 22 percent.
"I'll pay any price," said Estela Solari, a 43-year-old housewife, waiting behind dozens of people to change money at a Buenos Aires bank. "Buying dollars is the only way I can protect my money."
The currency troubles are the latest blow to an already ravaged economy.
Widespread supermarket looting and bloody street riots forced President Fernando De la Rua from office last December. plunging the country into political and social upheaval.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN - 7A
Outfielder's skill wows coach, fans
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas baseball team's offense is full of experience, as six of the nine regular batters are juniors and seniors. But perhaps the most effective offensive weapon so far this season has been outfielder Matt Tribble — a sophomore.
"Matt Tribble's done great," coach Bobby Randall said. "Matt Tribble's the one that has been hitting all year."
Tribble has been one of the few consistent performers for the Jayhawks (11-9 overall, 1-5 Big 12 Conference play), a team that has had both a 10-game winning streak and eight consecutive losses.
The outfielder is batting 366 with 18 RBI this season, hitting mainly out of the second spot in the lineup. He said he felt more comfortable this season near the top of the order.
"I think it's a big change for me from last year, when I was hitting lower in the lineup," he said. "It helps me see a lot more pitches."
In the first inning of last Friday's win over Michigan, Tribble hit a solo blast over the right-center field wall, giving him a team-leading record of five home runs this season. No one on last year's team hit more than four. He claims, though, that power hitting isn't his strength.
"I think it's making contact, putting the ball in play," he said. "I think I can help the team by getting on base and letting the guys behind me knock me in."
Tribble was the only freshman to regularly start for the Jayhawks in 2001, hitting .263 with 26 RBI in a conference that Randall said is tough on first-year players.
"The hardest thing about freshmen, is that they tend to think they're overmatched." Randall said. "I don't think Matt ever
REVISED BASEBALL SCHEDULE
The Jayhawks' road game against Creighton has been postponed because of cold weather. No make-up date has been set, but a game against Baker University has been added to the schedule. The Jayhawks will take on the Wildcats at 4 p.m. tomorrow at Hoglund Ballpark.
thought that."
Tribble joined Kansas following an outstanding high school career at Warrenville High School in Wheaton, Ill. As a senior, he hit .477 with 42 RBI, and after his prep playing days, the big question may not have been where to go to school, but if to go to school.
The hometown Chicago Cubs selected Tribble in the 15th round of the 2000 amateur draft, but the lefy bypassed the offer to play at the college level. He chose Kansas over Baylor, Nebraska and Xavier.
"I was excited to play college baseball, and be part of a team," Tribble said. "To get my game a little better, and fine tune my skills a little bit. Hopefully, I can enjoy four years of college."
Tribble is young compared to most of his fellow starters, but his versatility has been key to the Jayhawks' successful start. In addition to his high average and home runs, Tribble has stolen three bases in as many attempts, and has played error-free defense in right field.
"I'm starting to feel more comfortable," he said. "Hopefully, I can keep helping the team out."

Tigers' head coach courted by Huskies
The Associated Press
Missouri sports information director Chad Moller said Washington officials contacted Tigers athletic director Mike Alden during the weekend.
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri gave Washington permission to talk with Quin Snyder about the Huskies' vacant head coaching job, a Tigers spokesman said yesterday.
Moller said Alden gave his permission for the Huskies to approach Snyder, who in his third year at Missouri led the Tigers to
the NCAA West Regional final. Missouri lost to Oklahoma 81-75 on Saturday.
Moller said Snyder and Alden were unavailable for comment yesterday about the coach's future at Missouri. Four years remain on Snyder's five-year contract, which was renegotiated last summer to give him more money.
The contract includes a buyout option that would allow Snyder to leave in exchange for a payment equaling two years of his $185,000 base salary. Accordingly, it would cost at least $370,000 to buy out Snyder's contract, Marvin Wright, general counsel for the University of Missouri system, said yesterday.
Snyder told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on Sunday that he had no plans to leave Missouri but was not promising he would stay in Columbia.
"It's always been my policy."
Snuder said. "No promises."
Jim Daves, sports information director at Washington, said in a telephone interview that the school was not discussing its search for a successor to Bob Bender, who was fired last week after nine seasons.
The Huskies had back-to-back 20-loss seasons for the first time in school history before finishing 11-18 and eighth in the Pac-10 this season.
Daves said Washington's athletic director, Barbara Hedges, was out of state at a school fund-raiser and unavailable for comment.
Sports stories and columns have suggested that Snyder's wife, Helen, is unhappy in Columbia, and that the coach was upset about harsh criticism he received when the Tigers were in a mid-season slump.

Minorities react to Oscars
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES - Denzel Washington and Halle Berry made history with their Academy Award wins, but minority groups say diversity must extend beyond Hollywood's glamour night - and include other groups such as Asians, Hispanics and American Indians.
"What's historic about equality? Historic for me will be when all people of color are represented and are capable of garnering these awards," said Sonny Skyhawk, president of the advocacy group American Indians in Film.
Skyhawk, an actor who's appeared in Young Guns 11 and Geronimo: An American Legend, joined other show-business minority leaders yesterday in saying the Oscars and entertainment industry in general was overdue for broader racial representation.
Felix Sanchez, president of the National Hispanic Foundation for the Arts, was optimistic about the significance of the black victories for others.
"This is the new dynamic," he said. "I think we are going to see more and more success stories for minorities ... I hope this means (studios) are going to
tap more writers with diverse stories and cast more actors that represent the true face of American diversity."
Washington and Berry became the first black duo to take the top-acting honors, and Berry's win for Monster's Ball made her the first black woman in history to claim the best actress award. Some minority Oscar winners include Japanese-born Miyoshi Umeki for her supporting role in 1957's Sayonara and Cambodian native Haing S. Ngor in 1984's The Killing Fields. Meanwhile, American Indian actor Graham Greene was nominated for his supporting role in 1990's Dances With Wolves.
Kweisi Mfume, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, praised the Academy Awards but said more must be done to promote Hollywood diversity.
"If this is a sign that Hollywood is finally ready to give opportunity and judge performance based on skill and not on skin color, then it is a good thing," Mfume said. "However, if this proves to be a momentary flash in a long history of neglect, then Hollywood has failed to learn the real meaning of equality."

COMMENTARY
COMMENTARY
Jeff Denton jdenton@kansan.com
Freshmen wise beyond their years
It's not uncommon for a late-season funk to saddle freshmen athletes.
For Kansas basketball's jazzy triumvirate — Aaron Miles, Wayne Simien and Keith Langford — the freshmen fatigue appeared to have peaked when Kansas fell to Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship Game.
Point guard Miles collapsed under the Sooners' defensive schemes. He hesitated on open jumpers and forced passes that were not there. Spooked by the big-time stage in 27 minutes and slowed with rubbery legs, Miles finished with six turnovers.
Power forward Simien, a Leavenworth man-child with a vicious scowl and a penchant for physical play, snared one rebound in 10 minutes. One board. At 6-foot-9 and 255 pounds, he was the beefiest ghost in Kemper Arena.
Swingman Langford did not clam up like Miles or disappear like Simien, but he folded at times he usually scored, especially in transition. Blessed with body control of a ballerina, the 6-4 Texan had trouble going right when Oklahoma would not let him go left.
The three freshmen floundered. And the team fell down with them. After that Sunday, talk swirled that Kansas lacked the 'toughness' to battle in March. Then four days later, with 16th-seeded Holy Cross minutes away from staging an unprecedented Cinderella story, the baby layhawks grew their wings.
Miles nailed a short jumper to stretch Kansas' lead, Langford rejected a breakaway lay-up to protect Kansas' lead, and Simien muscled and rebounded to cement Kansas' lead.
The freshmen flourished, and with them the Jayhawks escaped to the next round.
In his last 65 minutes, Aaron Miles has turned the ball over just six times, a nice statistic considering how often the ball is in his hands. He pushed it against Stanford and Oregon and controlled the clock against Illinois. In all cases, he catered his game to what he was given, the signature of a savvy point man. This is why today's Aaron Miles is far better than the one who started against Ball State in his first-ever college game.
Three months ago, it was as if Keith Langford treated the player he was guarding like a letter laced with anthrax — the farther away the better. Yet in the past three games, he has emerged as the team's defensive stopper, always flying into passing lanes and hounding the basketball. And there is no freshman in the country more unflappable than Langford. Nothing rattles him. He has sunk 20 of 26 from the free-throw line. And he doesn't get tired. Most players drip with sweat throughout the game. Keith Langford mists.
Wayne Simien dazzled an ESPN audience in early December in his first game back from knee surgery. The McDonald's All-American went for 10 points and 11 rebounds in 15 minutes against Wake Forest, an NCAA tournament team. The performance had fans buzzing. Although the hype has calmed in the past few months — playing time in the post is shared with Drew Gooden and Nick Collison — there is no doubting his strength and steadiness. Simien has no qualms bruising his body for claim of the basketball. In Final Four play, that sort of knack is priceless.
Kansas fans expected their team to make it to Atlanta. They just didn't expect to depend on the heroes of three players who are too young to understand this tournament's magnitude. Miles, Langford and Simien have a good shot at coming home National Champions.
Just don't tell them they're freshmen
Dougherty takes Texas Christian job
Kansas assistant will remain with Jayhawks through the Final Four
By Brent Wasko
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas basketball fans screamed "one more year" as assistant coach Neil Dougherty cut down a piece of the net after the Jayhawks clobbered Oregon 104-86 and earned their first trip to the Final Four since 1993.
Denton is a Dallas senior in journalism Contact him at jdenton@kansan.com.
They wanted him to stay at Kansas for an eighth season with the team, but those hopes were dashed just hours after the postgame celebration subsided.
Dougherty accepted the position as head basketball coach at Texas Christian University after Kansas returned home from its Midwest Region Final in Madison, Wis., on Sunday.
He talked about the Jayhawks' recent victory at a formal announcement on the TCU campus yesterday in front of media and fans.
PETER BAYLEY
"This little piece of net, it looks so insignificant as I'm
Neil Dougherty
nolding it, but you would have to fight me to pry it out of my hand," Dougherty said. "That's what we want to get to here. I want student-athletes who come here to have the feeling, that sense of accomplishment those young men had. That can be done."
Dougherty returned to Kansas yesterday to resume preparation for Saturday's national semifinal matchup against Maryland. He will remain a Jayhawk assistant until the season concludes.
TCU athletics director Eric Hyman said he welcomes Dougherty's arrival.
"It is truly a privilege to recruit a person of Neil's caliber." Hyman said. "He brings to us a wealth of experience, not only on the court, but off of the court. He has a tremendous basketball background."
Dougherty, a Leavenworth native, played one year for coach Mike Krzzyzewski at the U.S. Military Academy before transferring to Cameron. He eventually ended up as the head coach at Cameron from 1985-1988
In the next seven years, Dougherty was an assistant coach at Drake, Vanderbilt and South Carolina. He came to Kansas in 1995. His main duties with the Jayhawks included recruiting, where he helped Kansas sign eight McDonald's All-Americans. He was also was responsible for scouting coordination and supervising players' academic progress.
Kansas averaged nearly 30 victories per season during Dougherty's tenure, including four conference championships.
"I'm very happy for Neil Dougherty and even happier for TCU because they are really getting the best end of this deal," Williams said. "Neil is a fantastic person. He's going to be a great head coach. He's been extremely important to our success here the seven years that he's been here."
Williams said Dougherty's recruiting efforts for the Jayhawks will be missed.
"He's the kind of guy that parents will love because he's the kind of guy they will trust their sons with," Williams said. "He's the kind of guy that's going to give TCU a basketball program and move it to an even higher level."

'Hawk freezes tourney
KANSAS

NOIS
Team leans on freshman in post-season play
When Keith Langford was a prep basketball star at North Crowley (Texas) High, his teammates dubbed him "Keith Freeze."
"It's kinda like I'm cold," the freshman swinger said, "that you can't freeze me because I've already got ice in my veins."
By Doug Pacey Kansan sportswriter
Freshman guard Keith Langford drives to the basket against Illinois in last Friday's game at the Kohl Center. Langord scored 15 against the Illini before scoring a career-high 20 points against Oregon in Sunday's win.
After Langford's jaw-dropping performances against Illinois and Oregon last weekend, it's obvious to the rest of the world how he got that nickname.
Langford earned All-Midwest Region team honors, along with teammates Nick Collison and Drew Gooden, after the Fort Worth, Texas, native averaged 17.5 points, hit 11 of 14 shots and made 13 of 15 free throws in two games.
"I really didn't expect that honor," Langford said. "I think being on there with Drew and Nick is great. It's a real big honor. I can't let it get to my head, I can't have any let-downs the rest of the way."
LAURIE SISK/KANSAN
Against the No. 4 seed Illini on Friday, the freshman scored 15 points in 27 minutes, but it was his last two points that proved Langford really might be cold-blooded. With No. 1 seed Kansas (33-3 overall, 16-0 Big 12 Conference) leading 71-69 with six seconds left in the game, Illinois guard Frank Williams missed a baseline jumper, and Langford swooped in for the rebound and was fouled. "Keith Freeze" stepped to the free throw line for a one-and-one opportunity with 2.8 seconds remaining and Illini coach Bill Self called a timeout in an attempt to freeze Langford. Self's timeout simply delayed the inevitable.
Langford drilled both of his shots and iced the game for the Jayhawks.
"It's hard to freeze someone when they've already got ice water running through their veins," he said of Self's strategy.
Langford played even better against the No. 2 seed Ducks Sunday. Wearing his lucky Texas Rangers socks, the freshman poured in a career-high 20 points and grabbed a career-high eight rebounds in only 22 minutes. But it was his slashing-though-the-lane, two-handed, hanging-on-the-rim-put-back dunk off a Gooden miss that gave Kansas a double-digit lead, 83-72, with 6:33 left that freshman point guard Aaron Miles thought was the game's defining play.
"Aww, man, that was incredible," Miles said. "That was awesome, but Keith has been big for us all year."
Langford, the first player off Kansas' bench, swished a game-winning three-point with 36 seconds remaining against Nebraska and kept the Jayhawks unblemished Big 12 record intact. When Honorable Mention All-America junior guard Kirk Hinrich went down with a sprained left ankle against No. 16 seed Holy Cross in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, Langford stepped in and played a career-high 31 minutes.
The Jayhawks didn't know if Hinrich would be able to play against No. 8 seed Stanford in the next round, but Gooden said he didn't doubt Langford's ability.
"I believe Keith Langford will play in the NBA," Gooden said with a straight face. "He's got to have a coming-out party, and now is as good a time as any."
Starting his first game as a Jayhawk, the freshman didn't exactly take to the spotlight like his First Team All-America teammate predicted he would. In fact, Langford was downright invisible. In 28 minutes he scored just two
points and missed all three of his free thrown attempts.
But after Langford's performances against the Illini and Ducks last weekend, it's apparent that the freshman just wanted to be fashionably late to his own coming-out party.
"I thought he was going to be pretty doggone good," Roy Williams said. "I think he may have surpassed what I thought he was going to be able to do."
Note
Those going to the Final Four without tickets can still watch Kansas, Maryland, Oklahoma and Indiana play. The teams will have open practices Friday at the Georgia Dome with the Jayhawks taking the court at 1 p.m.

Senate candidate could be disqualified
By Sarah Hill Kansan staff writer
A candidate for student body president could be disqualified from next month's election after a campaign violation complaint claimed he was not enrolled at the University of Kansas.
The Student Senate Elections Commission Hearing Board will hold hearings on campaign violation complaints during its meeting tonight at 5:30 p.m. at Alcove B in the Kansas Union to determine whether Matt Steppe, presidential candidate for the Vision Coalition, is qualified to run. The meeting is open to the public.
steppe said he was dropped from classes earlier this year because of a late tuition payment, and was working to rectify the situation.
"I have faith that the commission will listen
I have lamb that the com to the testimony presented, and make their decision based on what they hear," Steppesaid.
Because Steppe and Laura Rupe, vice-presidential candidate for the Vision Coalition, ran together on the same ticket, both could be disqualified from the race.
Steppe
MARC BROOKS
The hearing board of the Elections Commission, a board composed of Elections Commission members, will determine whether Steppe violated the elections code by filing documents declaring his candidacy that claimed he was an
enrolled student.
Elections Commissioner David Mitchell said the commission could not release the name of the person who had filed the complaint.
Mitchell said the meeting would be open to the public because Steppe had waived his right to have a closed hearing.
At the hearing, the board will also considera complaint that claims that a candidate, whom commissioners declined to identify, campaigned door-to-door in residence halls. Campaigning in student housing is prohibited by the elections code.

City appoints new mayor
Mary H. Manning
By Lauren Beatty Kansan staff writer
Dealing with the budget crisis and creating jobs in Lawrence are Sue Hack's goals as the next mayor of Lawrence.
The position of mayor rotates yearly among the five members of the commission. In the spring 2001 election, Hack received the most votes and was appointed vice mayor. Then, following commission tradition, she was elected mayor last night.
Commissioner David Dunfield came in second in 2001 and was appointed to vice mayor last night. He will most likely become mayor in spring 2003.
Lawrence's new mayor, Sue Hack, chats with a family member during a 20-minute recess and punch cookie reception at the city commission meeting last night.
Last night, the city commission voted Hack to the position of Mayor. She served as the Vice Mayor during the last year.
Hack, 54, is a civics teacher at Southwest Junior High. She will retire at the end of the year to devote time to being mayor.
Hack said her first priority would be dealing with the budget in light of a $730 million budget shortfall by the Kansas Legislature.
"We will have a difficult time balancing the level of service that citizens have come to expect while at the same time dealing with a reduced budget," she said.
Dunfield said the budget was also his first priority.
Hack said keeping workers in Lawrence was another priority for her term.
"It seems like the first thing we have to grapple with is the budget and the implications of the state budget crisis and what that's going to mean to us and the city budget," he said.
"We need to attract businesses to this community that provide high paying, quality jobs for our citizens so they do not have to leave here to work in Topeka and Kansas City," she said. "Job creation and industrial and commercial growth will have a positive affect on our budget status, also."
Hack said ordinances affecting students would not likely change while she was mayor.
Dunfield said changes might come later to the rental registration ordinance. The current ordinance says that rental homes in single family districts must be registered and inspected by the city to make sure the houses are up to code.
"The program is just getting off the ground, but I would like to see the registration expanded to beyond single-family homes and
into the Oread neighborhood," he said.
Hack said she was grateful for dialogues between members of the University setting and the city government and hoped to see it continue.
"As for the future of student-oriented issues,
I think having these conversations and meetings helps us to understand each other and can help remedy problems prior to their becoming big," she said.

The radio station has been bashing the state of Kansas since Maryland and Kansas advanced to the NCAA Final Four on Saturday, Marchand said.
Liz Webber, an administrator of Clear Channel Washington, the company that owns WIHT-FM, confirmed that a person from Hot 99.5's morning show was in Kansas yesterday, and would be on campus today.
Cohen was not worried about the Terrapin's presence on campus. He said many students might not know that the turtle was a Terrapin, and would not react in a harmful way.
"I just hope that they are shown some lajahw hospitality," he said. "And some sympathy toward their future defeat."

Budget cuts may decrease funding for campus safety office
Kansan staff reporter
Rv Rachel Keeseee
The office might have to cut three potential positions to account for a 5 percent budget cut, said Ralph Oliver, director for the KU Public Safety Office. The state is facing a $685 million budget shortfall for the next fiscal year starting in July.
The KU Public Safety Office never takes a day off, and budget cuts could make its job even harder.
"There are no other alternatives for us," Oliver said. "We're already shorthanded, and that's based on previous cuts in the '90s. The officers who are here have a greater workload."
One patrol officer position, one dis
patch position and one security position would be cut if the office had to make cuts, Oliver said. Although the positions are vacant, the safety office uses most of the money allotted for those positions to pay current officers overtime. Overtime pay is not included in the office's budget.
"You would think that people would not complain about overtime, but it gets to be a burden when your name is being punched every time we need someone to work overtime," Oliver said.
Oliver said overtime cost more than usual this year because of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. He said the safety office had to schedule more security officers to work at football games.
The office currently employs 50 people. The budget cut also would leave no
UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATION
room for possible pay raises next year.
Oliver said he understood the University's request to include the safety office in the budget cuts.
"I think it will make some officers consider other departments, and I think this type of thing makes it easier for the new officers we've brought on board to leave." Oliver said.
INSIDETODAY
"What they're asking us to do, they're asking everyone else to do," he said. "I understand that the University has certain areas that they want to protect for academic reasons. I don't disagree with that at all. I think that support services in general need to be looked at as about
"If you don't have enough officers to respond to calls made from blue phones, to patrol areas and protect students, then all the work we do to make this campus safe is all for naught," Knopp said.
Andy Knopp, Manhattan sophomore and chairman of Student Senate campus safety advisory board, said the board would encourage administrators to keep the safety office from losing officers.
"It's an issue for academia. It's an issue for students. It's an issue for administration," he said. "I don't believe that this administration would do anything if they
Oliver said campus safety was an issue that affected everyone.
Bretz said most departments were preparing to cut positions if the Legislature cut the budget.
"The safety of students is one of our most important issues, but every department is bracing for it if we undergo the kind of cuts they're talking about in Topeka," Bretz said.

Recent ice storm cleanup $5 million more than expected
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City's cleanup tab after the January ice storm will top $26.5 million, pushed by higher-than-expected costs for tree debris collection, tree trimming and streetlight damage.
City Manager Bob Collins said the new estimate is $5 million higher than earlier estimates.
City officials said the Federal Emergency Management Agency will reimburse it for 75 percent of the cost of storm expenses. That means that Missouri probably will have to pick up 10 percent of the storm recovery cost, leaving the city with the remaining 15 percent.
Bill may raise alcohol limit in grocery store beer
TOPEKA — Grocery and convenience stores are backing a bill that would allow them to sell stronger beer.
The Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee heard testimony yesterday from supporters of a proposal to raise the legal alcohol limit of beer sold at shops other than liquor stores.
Under current law, convenience and grocery stores may only sell "cereal malt beverage," with a maximum 3.2 percent alcohol by weight. The bill would classify any beer containing less than 5 percent alcohol by weight as a cereal malt beverage.

Diverse ideas define coalitions this year
By Sarah Hill Kansan staff writer
By Sarah Hill
Four coalitions have candidates running in this year's Student Senate elections, which are April 10-11. Below are profiles of the coalitions.
Teamwork and activism on campus issues will influence Delta Force's platform for the sixth year of Senate elections.
Delta Force
Presidential candidate Karen Keith, Tulsa, Okla., junior, said that while she and Kit Brauer, Denver sophomore, were the spokeswomen for the coalition, their job was to get the rest of the slate elected. Keith is an off-campus senator, and Brauer is Association of University Residence Halls senator.
One of Delta Force's top priorities for next year is to work to have a voting student representative on the Board of Regents.
"I've talked to the Board of Regents members, and they are receptive to the idea," said Maggie Beedles, Lawrence junior and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences candidate.
Delta Force will also work for fair wages for graduate teaching assistants, resident assistants and staff, ask the Board of Regents for a domestic partnership policy, improve accountability for minority retention and recruitment, insist on a specific outline of where tuition money is spent and implement a new alcohol policy that would allow beer in the Jaybowl and Memorial Stadium.
KUnited will draw on diversity and experience this year to lead Student Senate.
KUnited
Jonathan Ng, Overland Park junior and presidential candidate, said he and 16 other members of their coalition were returning senators, including vice-presidential candidate Loren Malone, Senatobia, Miss., junior. Ng is a CLAS senator and Malone was a Panhellenic senator her freshman year.
"We have experience and knowledge that we can use as a guide to facilitate change," he said.
The coalition will work to create a central on-line calendar for the University, collaborate with the KU parking department to produce maps that outline where students can park for special events, allowing beer in the Jaybowl and implement a "yellow bike" program for campus transportation.
Ng said the program would provide bicycles, usually painted yellow, on campus for students to ride as an alternative to other forms of transportation.
KUnited will also work to build a new Multicultural Resource Center. Ng plans to use money from the KU Endowment Association's KU First fund-raising campaign to build a new center.
STUDENT
SENATE
SMILE
Paul Bammel wants to make sure that everyone has a smile on
their face next year.
Bammel, Andover junior and presidential candidate for the SMILE coalition, will run with Jared Hiatt, Salina junior and vice-presidential candidate, on a feel-good platform designed to improve the overall campus attitude.
"We're going to do stuff that's fun and exciting for KU as a whole." Bammel said.
The seven members of the coalition have no previous Senate experience.
SMILE will use student fee money for entertainment and to promote student clubs.
Bammel said that, according to statistics from the vice chancellor of student affairs, Student Senate would have $81,094 in their unallocated account from student fees. This money is distributed by Senate throughout the year.
Instead of a formal platform, Bammel said SMILE coalition members would be out on Wescoe Beach today with sidewalk chalk. The coalition is inviting students to tell the coalition how they should best represent the student body.
"Rather than tell the students what are platform is, they're going to tell us," he said.
Vision Coalition
The Vision Coalition strives to ensure that all students at the University will be heard.
iwatt Steppe, St. Joseph, Mo., junior, and Laura Rupe, Wichita junior, combined forces from last year's campaigns to bridge the perceived gap between greeks and non-grecs. Steppe, residential senator and Student Legislative Awareness Board director, ran with Delta Force last year, while Rupe, a Nunemaker senator, ran with the voice coalition.
"The greek versus non-greek issue is so asinine," Steppe said. "It gets in the way of students doing things for students."
The Vision Coalition will institute a tuition "Bill of Rights" to make sure that students are not placed with the burden of improving higher education by themselves.
Other issues that the Vision Coalition will work for are making the Kansas and Burge Unions more student-friendly by adding programming and amenities, such as allowing beer in the Jaybowl and allowing residents of residence halls to use a portion of their meal plans in the KU unions' food services and convenience stores.
Steppe said they would also recommend installation of dual-use blue phones, which have a local phone built-in to the safety phone.
"Students can use the phones to call Safe Ride or a roommate to come pick them up, instead of only being able to call the police," he said.

OPINION
WEDNESDAY,MARCH 27,2002
EDITORIAL
Politics have no place on car license plates
The car bumper has long been a vehicle for self-expression, what with bumper stickers and decals proclaiming your political affiliations, choice of college, and even honor student status.
Now, however, expression once reserved for bumper stickers threatens to move over a little to the license plate itself.
The Kansas House of Representatives is now debating the approval of a specialty license plate bearing the symbol and motto of "Choose Life," but they should not approve it. In fact, they should stop producing new specialty tags altogether.
Approving the "Choose Life" license plate would encourage the production of more overtly political statements or personal opinions on specialty license plates, which is unnecessary and illogical.
The issue is not the "Choose Life" message itself, but the concept of having political agendas and personal opinions on state-issued license plates at all.
License plates are issued by the state for identification, not for expression.
Although 18 specialty license plates have already been issued, most of these depict the six state universities or military branches—non-partisan groups funded in part by the government.
However, the proposed "Choose Life" license plate provides a one-sided and seemingly state-sanctioned message. It appears to address the issue of abortion by using the slogan "Choose Life," a phrase commonly associated with the anti-abortion movement, as well as by requiring that all the donated funds go only toward crisis pregnancy and adoption centers that don't recommend or endorse abortion.
If the "Choose Life" license plate is approved, then there should be an equal representation of the opposing view — a license plate advocating the pro-choice movement. And, if 500 people order a license plate like that, no one can stop others from organizing and ordering other specialty license plates.
As they are now, the guidelines for requesting a specialty plate are too open. Essentially, if 500 people order it, almost anything can be put on a license plate. If the state approves the "Choose Life" license plate, then they have no choice but to approve other specialty license plates, which could advocate such ideas as the legalization of marijuana or prayer in public schools, or endorse a hate group or political party.
Therefore, the state should change the legislation and stop producing new specialty license plates altogether. People have many opportunities to express their political views and personal opinions. A mass-produced, state-issued licer.se plate should not be one of them.

Mixing sports and news necessary to please basketball-crazed students
Basketball dominated Monday's University Daily Kansan. Stories and photos about the men's basketball team
Basketball dominated Monday's University Daily Kansan. Stories and photos about the men's basketball team appeared in both the news and sports sections. Roy's boys appeared on five pages of a 12-page paper.
READERS' REPRESENTATIVE
It was unusual for us. The Kansan often treats sports and news as separate worlds. People who want to know what's happening around campus will read the news section, the thinking goes. If they want to know about the basketball team, they know where to find articles about it — in the sports section.
Darrell B.
Jay Krall, managing editor for news, said the Kansan was restrained in its treatment of the men's basketball team this semester.
Clay McCuistion emccuistion@kansan.com
There are two schools of thought at the Kansan about running sports stories on the front page. One believes that sports shouldn't cross over to news. The mere presence of a sports section seems vaguely annoying.
"We almost never put it on the front during the regular season," he said.
The other school of thought believes sports plays an important part in student life, and that sports stories are often some of the best-written pieces in the paper.
It's a disagreement that comes to the heart of an old newspaper debate. Should newspapers print what readers want, or should they try to elevate the level of public discourse by setting an agenda of their own?
Thankfully, Monday's Kansan — despite its sports-centered nature — leaves that debate in the dust.
For at certain times sports transcend the milieu of arenas and sweat socks. At these times, sports move into the lives of a multitude of people, many of whom don't ordinarily care about free throws or three-pointers.
It's a time like that now. It's a time when nearly every student is concerned or affected by a
sports team.
Sarah Warren, Kansan sports editor, said it was a no-brainer.
"That should be the first thing people see, because you know that's what they're going to be talking about," she said. "If the student paper doesn't have it on the front, they don't know their audience."
The Kansan will feature many more front page stories about basketball in the next few days.
It faces challenges, however. Most in the newsroom agree that the Jayhawks' fate in the NCAA tournament is the story of the moment.
But there are different ways to cover that story. If sports coverage makes the front of the paper, it must be clear to readers why it's important. Why, at times like these, the Kansan can offer coverage that's unique.
"We obviously don't want to be the same as every other paper," said Levi Chronister, associate sports editor. "We're writing to students, not the general populace."
McCuistion is an El Dorado senior in journalism and English.
BIG BUSINESS VS. STUDENTS
LETTERSTO THE EDITOR
Do you really think corporations make money by fleecing their customers? Let's get serious. If they did that, they would be out of business. I am not saying all are good, but they have their place.
Dear editor,
Each store or corporation must look at what all customers want, and then choose the action that fits the majority. In business, this does not always mean the most people, but the heavy users.
This is in response to David Grummon's article about corporations ("Big corporations don't care about you," March 7).
Anyone familiar with the 20/80 rule (the top 20 percent of customers generate 80 percent of the revenue) knows businesses must serve the heavy users no matter what the consequences are the to others.
Without these customers every business and corporation would go broke. You might not like it, but that's the way all businesses work, even the local ones. Then there would be no jobs and no taxes for the city or state. We would all lose.
You might not believe it, but corporations are made up of people. I dare you to go into a "chain" store (when it's not busy) and introduce yourself to the employees and manager(s). They will remember you the next time you come in (assuming it's recently thereafter).
After a while, you can get a "local" feel at a chain store. In a few days, you will be shooting the
Russell Warren Lawrence senior
breeze with some of the employees!
That's what you want isn't it, to be respected as a person? They will also be more eager to help you if you have a problem. Trust me, I know this from experience.
FIELDHOUSE SEATING
After 12 long days spent camping out at Allen Fieldhouse and an awesome game you would think that any diehard KU fan would be grinning from ear to ear after the win against Kansas State on Senior night.
But guess what? Not me. I left the fieldhouse at a loss and generally in a bad mood.Not because of the KU team (which is awesome) and not because it was the last home game of the season.
I left in a bad mood because of the lack of enthusiasm coming from the football recruits who were comfortably sitting in the second row of the student section.
I am not trying to disrespect the football program in any way. I am happy that coach Mark Mangino is here and hope he can make our team successful. I also realize that there is a need for recruitment. But at the same time, I was furious when I saw the whole row sitting down and at one point opening their KU football folders and proceeding to read while the game was going on.
The football recruits, in this case, were juniors in high school and would not even be attending
the University of Kansas for a few years. They were given the opportunity to see the No.1 college basketball team in the nation play in a packed fieldhouse.
Granted, basketball is not their game of choice, but they could have at least acted like they were enjoying it instead of simply acting bored out of their minds while the rest of the student section cheered wildly around them.
This is not the first time this has happened, and I know it will not be the last. I would suggest for the future, if the recruits come to basketball games they should be seated farther up so they can do just that — sit comfortably and let the true fans, the fans that eat, sleep and sacrifice their time at the field-house camping out to support the Jayhawks, have the seats that they deserve!

You can't keep the same level of learning when you don't have the money. So I ask you, students, what you want to lose.
You know, I'm getting really tired of all the students complaining about the tuition increases. Almost every time I pick up the paper I read about some student protest against the increase. With a 15+ million dollar funding deficit what do the students expect?
We could have bigger classes and fewer hospital and library hours. How about less professors and less computers and others technologies?
We can cut the Student Senate offices since they are inept at doing a good job of representing the student body anyway and we wouldn't have to put up with elections every year.
The point I'm trying to make is that if the students want the best education they are going to have to pay for it. The average in-state KU student pays between $1,000 to $2,000 less a year then their peer schools, and I think it's time to catch up.
If you want to talk about being looked over, talk to a state worker some time. We haven't had a cost-of-living increase consistent with inflation in the 12 years I've been an employee. The governor suspended the pay scale for state employees.
In other words, the one payment increase we did get he took away. Now we have to have the Legislature vote us a raise and with the deficit what do you think the likelihood of that happening is?
When the state runs out of money, it raises taxes or cuts funding. We don't like either but there isn't much we can do about either. It's about time the students get a taste of the real world. You can't have your cake and eat it, too.

Your Pills are where????
Try the birth control you think about just 4 x a year.
Depo-Provera is 99.7% effective.
Not only is Depo-Provera 99.7% effective, but you need just one shot on time every 3 months to stay pregnancy-protected. So, unlike the Pill, Depo-Provera isn't your every day birth control.
Depo-Provera doesn't protect you from HIV/AIDS or other sexually transmitted diseases.
Some women using Depo-Provera experience side effects.The most common are irregular periods or spotting.Many women stop having
periods altogether after a few months and some may experience a slight weight gain. You shouldn't use Depo-Provera if you could be pregnant, if you have had any unexplained periods, or if you have a history of breast cancer, blood clots, stroke or liver disease. When using Depo-Provera, there may be a possible decrease in bone density. Ask your health care professional about prescription Depo-Provera.

Student enjoys spreading smiles
When Lindsey Rhoton, Lawrence freshman, was four years old, it was all she had to offer her crying, younger sister, Leslie, who was only a few months old.
Just a hug and a small, comforting voice.
By Adam Pracht Kansan staff writer
The two sisters recently rediscovered that moment while watching an old home video.
"I'd never realized that she'd done that for me," Leslie Rhoton said. "And that was really special, because I was now able to acknowledge it."
As Lindsey Rhoton grew, so did her caring for the community, her friends and the underdog.
She said a simple saying guided her in her service.
"You have to sing like no one's going to hear you. You have to dance like no one's watching. You have to love like it's never going to hurt," she said.
Rhoton said her parents and her church raised her to respect others, especially through community service.
Bob Rhoton, Lindsay Rhoton's father, said he tried to get his daughters involved in community service through his membership with the layahwak Breakfast Rotary.
"They've always taught me that it's important to give back," she said. "So if someone shows me kindness, I shouldn't take advantage of that. I should turn around and show as many people as I can my appreciation for them."
AARON LERNER/KANSAN
"We all have so many things to be thankful for that this town has brought us, and we have our duty to give a little bit back," he said. "I
Lindsey Rhoton, Lawrence freshman, has dedicated her life to helping others who are in need. "I'm the kind of person that if someone's upset and I don't know them, I still want to make them smile," she said.
Lindsey Rhoton said community service was not a duty but a pleasure. She befriended a troubled preschooler with YouthFriends, 2518 Ridge Ct., served meals for Jubilee Cafe in Trinity Episcopal Church, 1011 Vermont St., and made valentines for the elderly in nursing homes.
think that's a lesson that both these girls have learned is to always give a little something back."
"I think it's made me look at people twice," she said. "Instead of seeing someone and saying, 'This is my first impression of them,' take a moment to try to get to know them more. It's just getting to know everyone instead of doing my own thing, having no regard for other people."

Rhoton said she felt horrible when she wasn't able to help someone. It was a feeling that was strong last year when her friend Natalie Vincent, Lawrence freshman, collapsed as they returned from a spring break trip.
Rhoton said that she couldn't support Vincent at the time because she was inside the airport lobby and the medics picked up Vincent outside.
Rhoton said her favorite part of service was developing friendships that she would never have otherwise.
"There's the glass there and it was probably the most helpless feeling, physically being separated from her," she said.
Vincent has a condition that causes her arteries to become inflamed. She collapsed because of congestive heart failure.
Vincent said Rhoton visited her frequently in the hospital, got her schoolmates to sign a banner for her and helped to finish the

how important my friends are," she said. "Not to take advantage of them. Just to let them know every single day how much they mean to me."
Rhoton said the situation helped her to value her relationships with others.

Contraceptive Injection medroxyprogesterone acetate injectable suspension
DEPO+PROVERA<sup>*</sup> Connitive injection
microxoprozen acetate injectable suspension, USP)
This product is intended to prevent pregnancy. It does not protect against H. infection (AIDS) and other sexually transmitted diseases.
DEPOPROVIRA-Contraceptive injection is a form of birth control that is given as an intramuscular injection (a shot) in the buckle or upper arm once every month to continue your pregnancy. The contraceptive primarily employs the DEPOPROVIRA-Contraceptive chemical similar to but not the same as the natural hormone progesterone. It can be administered by your ovaries during pregnancy and by DEPOPROVIRA-Acts, because DEPOPROVIRA-Acts are fromering. If an egg is not released from the ovaries during your menstrual cycle it cannot be fertilized with sperm and result in pregnancy. DEPOPROVIRA-Acts can also occur.
also causes changes in the host's immune response.
How effective is DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection?
NID 415 DEPO PROVERA Contraceptive Injection?
The efficacy of DEFPO-PROVIARE Contraceptive Injection depends on the recommended dosage schedule exactly (see How to Choose the Recommended Dosage of DEFPO-PROVIARE). If you are not pregnant when you first get DEFPO-PROVIARE Contraceptive Injection, you should not use it. The injection must be administered first the 5 days of normal menstrual cycle. ONLY if you are pregnant before children it is the first 5 days of normal menstrual cycle. ONLY at the sixth week after children it is a long-term injectable contraceptive when administered at 3-months (18 weeks) intervals. It is also possible that you do not use DEFPO-PROVIARE method shortly before children. This means that the average annual rate of less than one for every 100 women who use DEFPO-PROVIARE contraceptives is the effectiveness of each woman in preventing new pregnancies. The effectiveness of DEFPO-PROVIARE depends only on the patient returning every 3 months (11 weeks) for her next injection. Your health care provider will help you compare DEFPO-PROVIARE contraceptive method you need in order to decide which injectable method is the right choice for you.

What if I want to become pregnant after using DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive pill?
executive DEPO-PROVERA is a long waiting but control method; it takes some time after your last injection for its effect to wear off. Based on the results from a large study done in the United States for women who stop using DEPO-PROVERA in order to become pregnant, about half of those who become pregnant will do so in about 12 months, and their last injections that they become pregnant will do so in about 12 months, about 83% of those who become pregnant will do so in about 15 months and about 93% of those who become pregnant will do so in about 18 months after their last injection, which means you would be able to become pregnant after you stop using it.
What are the risks of using DEPO-PROVRA with no峡 on how long it takes you to become receptive Injection?
What are the risks of using DEPO-PROVRA Contraceptive Injection?
1 Regular Menstrual Bleeding
The side effect reports most frequently by women who use DEPO-PROVERA for menstrual bleeding is in their normal menstrual cycle. During the first year of using DEPO-PROVERA, you might have one or more irregular menstrual cycles, unpredictable bleeding, an increase in the frequency or decrease in menstrual bleeding or no bleeding at all. You should be aware that continuous bleeding does not is a useful effect of DEPO-PROVERA and if this happens, you should your health care provider provide you with a schedule of when to stop having periods completely. In clinical studies of DEPO-PROVERA, 55% of the women studied reported no menstrual bleeding (amenorrhea) after 1 year of using DEPO-PROVERA. Another study showed that your period stop is because DEPO-PROVERA causes a resting state in your ovaries. When your ovaries do not release an egg, a regular monthly growth of blood may occur, causing the bleeding in your normal menstruation does not take place. When you stop using DEPO-PROVERA your menstrual period will usually return to its normal cycle.

Student's ceramic work featured in art exhibit
By Maggie Koerth Kansan staff reporter
Ceramics student Michele Harp has always loved working with a potter's wheel, and recently one of her pieces was chosen for a national exhibition.
Harp, Overland Park senior, said when she entered the student juried exhibition of the National Council for the Education of Ceramic Arts conference in December, she didn't expect to win.
"It was kind of random," she said. "I just sent in two pieces that I considered my best."
Dave Vertacnik, associate professor of design, said four or five KU students entered the competition this year, but only Harp got in.
"This is a very big deal for her," he said. "Being in NCECA offers national exposure. Thousands of people will see her work."
NCECA is a non-profit organization that has sponsored a conference and several exhibitions every year since 1967. The conference moves each year and this year was at the Hyatt Regency in Kansas City. Mo., at the beginning of March.
The exhibition, which features Harp's work, is held in conjunction with the conference and is on display until April 13 at the Leedy-Voulkos Art Center. 2012 Baltimore, Kansas City, Mo.

JILLIAN THORPE/KANSAN
"A giggion people come to this thing every year. Everybody looks forward to it," he said.
Vertacnik said the conference was a chance for ceramic teachers, students and artists from all over the world to get together and share ideas.
Vertacnik said it was surprising Harp's work was in the show because most of the pieces in the exhibition were sculptural work — ceramic art not meant to be used for any purpose.
He said Harp's work was mostly functional. Functional art, like vases, can be used in everyday life.
Harp said she loved creating functional work and used a wheel for most of her pieces.
"I do most of my work on it," she said. "I love how

Classes explain culture
HITTAM THORPEKANSAN
Hiromi Murakami, Lawrence resident, center, listens as a member of her Small World group shares her experiences about life in the United States. The group, led by Kathy Mulinazzi, Lawrence resident, right, has been meeting since August in order to better learn the English language and assimilate into the United States.
By Leah Shaffer
Kansan staff writer
Every Tuesday and Thursday morning, 25 volunteers work to make Lawrence a little less scary to women who are new to the country.
The volunteers are a part of Small World, a nonprofit organization that teaches women from other nations about American culture and helps improve their English skills.
Pallavi Desai, from Bombay, India, came to the United States in 1988 to be with her husband who is a student at the University of Kansas. At first, she was lonely, depressed and could not relate to the new culture.
"The first year I went back twice to my country," she said.
After learning about Small World, Desai began to regularly attend the classes.
"Initially I met new friends and new people," she said.
"I could come out of home and do something."
Desai now volunteers at the day care, which is run by Small World. For a fee of $10 a semester, students can attend classes, which run from 9:15 to 11 Tuesday and Thursday mornings. For an additional $5, students can place their children in day care during the classes if necessary.
Pam Wyssenbach, Wichita senior, also volunteers at the day care center.
"I've met a lot of interesting women," she said. "We've talked about arranged marriages and the new situation for moms here. Its just fun to talk to them."
Kathy Mulinazzi, director of Small World, said the organization was started in 1968 by five spouses of KU faculty. The women had gone with their husbands to Venezuela on sabbatical and they experienced first hand what it was like to be in a new country with little knowledge of the language or culture. On their return to the United States, they decided to start an organization that would help women from
other countries adapt to U.S. culture. Mulinazzi said that in recent years, Small world has grown from a cultural club to focus on teaching language to new women. Mulinazzi said there are 100 students in the school and 30 children in daycare.
She said it was remarkable to see the friendships forged at Small World between people from such countries as Iran and Russia.
"Many have deep depression because of culture shock," she said. "Coming to Small World changes that."
Small World is held at First Presbyterian Church, 2415 Clinton Parkway. For more information, call Kathy Mulinazzi at 841-3645, or look online at community.lawrence.com/small world.

Final Four advice, history for Jayhawks
To think, it all started with 65 teams. And now there are four.
No matter what Kansas' outcome may be this weekend, Jayhawk fans should be proud of what our boys have accomplished.
It's quite the honor to just be able to say that we're one of the top four teams in the nation, but let's all hope that by Monday we'll be singing a different tune.
I don't think anyone could have predicted the Final Four match-up this tournament has produced. Just take a look at Duke.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not at all disappointed that they lost, but I'm sure that there are a lot of people who lost money on that loss to Indiana.
Sixty-five teams had a chance to compete for the national title, and some teams ended up with an earlier exit than they wanted. Any top team could have an off night and be knocked out of contention, and at the same time, another team not expected to go far could surprise everyone. Holy Cross was almost one of those teams, but fortunately our guys prevailed.
The NCAA tournament has undergone many changes since its first game in 1939. The number of the teams invited to the tournament has steadily increased, with the current number at 65. Each team now has to string along four wins just to make it to the Final Four.
With more than 130 teams included in Division I competition, it's pretty amazing that Kansas had the talent and heart to dominate the other teams in the tournament to reach the Final Four not only this year, but in previous years. In 1988 for example, Kansas made it to the Final Four as a No.6 seed, fighting its way into the championship game and even winning it all. Few seeds that low have ever gone all the way.
We have more than enough talent and patience to go all the way this year — but I don't want to jinx us.
If our freshmen continue to woo the crowds with their amazing feats and abilities, they have enough potential to bring about back-to-back Final Four appearances. I'm sure our experienced players have enough individual desire to finish the season with a title.
Here's some advice from a short girl who never played basketball at a competitive level. You can either take it to heart or completely ignore it.
Gooden: I don't want to leave this all in your hands, but if you really are leaving us, you better go out with a bang.
Boschie: Keep firing away those threes and we'll be so close we can taste it.
Hinrich: With your talent and hustle, you'll be running Maryland so hard they'll be gasping.
Miles: With your quickness and moves, you'll be unstoppable driving through the paint.
And finally, Collison: If you stay out of foul trouble and have a duplicate of Sunday's game, Maryland doesn't stand a chance against your strength.
I can't forget our bench — you guys are the mental strength of the team to stay in contention with the other team. I don't think there is any other group of bench guys who could keep up with you or possess as much talent and strength. I see a promising future for all of you, especially Simien and Langford. I can't wait to see what the future holds for our young Jayhawks.

Kansas Forward Drew Gooden tries to stop Illinois during the Jayhawks' game on Thursday. Gooden hopes to improve upon his recent performance for the game this Saturday.
Despite stellar stats and numerous awards, Gooden expects more
By Doug Pacey Kansan sportswriter
Drew Gooden's a little upset with himself. Seems the junior forward thinks he should be scoring more points, grabbing more rebounds and doing more for his team. It doesn't matter to Gooden that he's averaging 16.8 points and 13 rebounds in four NCAA Tournament games and was named the Midwest Regional Most Outstanding Player — everybody's All-America said he wants to do more for his team.
"I wouldn't say I'm disappointed," Gooden said. "I would say I am not pleased with my performance because I know I can play better than that. I'm not happy or satisfied with my play in the tournament at all."
Not even a little bit?
"What makes up for that is that I'm happy because we're winning and we end up going to the 'Four.'" the Richmond, Calif., native said. "I've told people before, if I average two points and got the the Final Four or if I average 30 points and got to the Final Four I'd still feel exactly the same way."
That kind of team player mentality has impressed Roy Williams, the Kansas coach said. When freshman point guard Aaron Miles missed a dunk late in the game Sunday against No. 2 seed Oregon, Williams said he was steamed and ready to turn Miles into "a greasy spot on the floor." But during a timeout Gooden, who was the reason Williams threw his sport coat into the Allen Fieldhouse stands last season, stepped in and settled the
coach down.
"Drew's yelling 'Coach, coach, coach' and it did calm me down a little bit," Williams said. "In the locker room I told Aaron, 'You better thank Drew because I was about ready to strangle you,' and Drew told him, 'I knew what was coming Coach, I've seen that look before.' To be that kind of leader during the game and protect his teammate, I thought that was pretty impressive."
It takes a special and unselfish player to say that he's not happy averaging a double-double in the most important college basketball games of the season and Williams said he was amazed that Gooden, who is averaging 20.0 points and 11.5 rebounds per game, thought he played poorly despite what his statistics said.
"I love the fact that the kid is really completely hungry," the coach said. "Even more so I love the fact that anybody else could look at those numbers and say, 'I'm doing my deal.' And Drew's only concerned about helping his team win."
Gooden would do just about anything to help No. 2 ranked Kansas (33 overall, 16-0 Big 12 Conference) win the national championship, but there's one thing he won't do — get another pedicure. Saturday night the junior said he clipped his toenails and got his calluses removed because he "needed new wheels" for the "track meet" against the Ducks Sunday. Gooden said he will get no such treatment this week.
"I got mine before the Oregon game and a man only needs one of those in his lifetime," he joked of the pedicure.

Diversions benched to focus on game

Kansan sportswriter
Distractions are abundant for playersthe week before their team tips off at the Final Four — dozens of reporters surrounding them with cameras and recorders, fellow students running after them on campus to wish them good luck and their pictures appearing countless times on national television.
already this season, but itll probably be much worse when we get there."
Junior forward Nick Collison said he didn't think the distractions were too much of a problem.
ku
Several Kansas players said they knew they couldn't avoid the added attention but that it was sometimes tough not to get caught up in the madness.
"I think we will realize maybe when we get to Atlanta how difficult it's going to be," junior guard Kirk Hinrich said. "Obviously, the media has been something that we've had to deal with a lot
"I think everyone on the team has been pretty mature enough to realize that when you play well and have success those kind of things come," he said. "We haven't let it get in the way yet, and I don't think we will going to the Final Four."
College basketball analysts such as Dick Vitale and Andy Katz have said that because the Jayhawks' national semifinal opponent, Maryland, went to the Final Four last season, it would be better prepared to deal with the distractions.
Kansas freshman guard Aaron Miles said he didn't think the Terrapins' previous Final Four experience would be a large factor.
Kansas players Jeff Boschee and Nick Collison prepare themselves for play before a game. Players must deal with many stress factors — media attention and crazed fans, for example — as they approach their Final Four appearance.
LAURIE SISK/KANSAN
"Basketball is basketball, no matter where and when you play it," Miles said. "It's another big game—that's all. It's not like they're playing the same
team as last year."
Miles said the key to the Jayhawks' success in Atlanta might be how well the team kept its focus.

Kansas must rely on pitchers to beat Arkansas
Bv Ali Brox
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas softball team gets a break from Big 12 Conference play as it battles Arkansas today in Fayetteville, Ark. The doubleheader starts at 3 p.m.
Coach Tracy Bunge said playing Arkansas would be a change from the Big 12 but that the team was excited to play Big 12 teams because of the quality of the competition. However, the Razorbacks aren't to be taken lightly.
"We talked about itas a team, and we need to be as intense for non-conference games as other games," sophomore pitcher Kara Pierce said.
"Arkansas is playing well this season," Bunge said. "They're a solid team
on both sides of the ball. They're not making many mistakes so we have to go out and beat them because they won't beat themselves."
Arkansas has a 24-10 record this season and is 5-4 in the Southeastern Conference. Last weekend the Razorbacks took three games from Auburn, winning 6-3, 4-0 and 3-2. On the mound, Arkansas is led by Rachel Talley, 12-3, who has a 1.05 ERA.
If the Jayhawks need to rely on a pitcher, Pierce is up to the responsibility. She threw a no-*hitter against Oklahoma State during spring break. Pierce has thrown a team-high 64.2 innings while striking out 56 batters and owning a 2.06 ERA.
"They're a solid SEC team," Bunge said. "They're not overpowering offensively so we're going to rely on our pitchers. They've been winning tight ball games."
"She's throwing as well as I've seen her throw," Bunge said. "She's back mentally to where she was at this time last year which is where we need her to be. She's our most consistent pitcher and I would say she has much more confidence than at the beginning of the season."
Even though she threw her first career no-hitter less than a week ago, Pierce doesn't feel pressure to repeat the performance.
"Definitely, it made me feel good," Pierce said. "But I'm just going to go out and do what I can."
"Arkansas is playing well this season. They're a solid team on both sides of the ball. They're not making many mistakes so we have to go out and beat them because they won't beat themselves."

When name-calling isn't insulting
Fans name kids pets after favorite players on team to show support
By Dong Pacey and Brent Wasko
Kansan sportswriters
Avid Kansas basketball fans are taking their devotion to a new level—naming their children and pets after players.
Scott and Jodi Schlesener of Perry agreed that if the Jayhawks were still in the NCAA Tournament when their baby was delivered, the child would be named after senior guard Jeff Bosche.
Jodi thought the deal would be a safe one because the baby wasn't due until April 3, after the upcoming national championship game.
But the couple's child came early, March 21, the day before Kansas defeated Illinois. Jodi lived up to her end of the bargain, agreeing to name the baby Deavynn Boschee Christine Schlesener. Scott wanted the child's first name to be Boschee, but Jodi said she couldn't handle that.
"One of my friends told me about it and some lady called my house last night, telling me to watch the 6 o'clock news," Jeff Boschee said. "I didn't get to see it, but it is flattering to be recognized like that."
But he didn't have the Schle-
sener's family dog, Raef LaTerrier, named after him, like former Jayhawk forward Raef LaFrentz.
"Raef's going to have to comment about that," joked Boschee.
Another Jayhawk fan has similar plans to the Schleseners'. An unnamed man told the 10,500 fans over the public address system at the post-Midwest Region Finals rally at Allen Fieldhouse Sunday that he was planning to name his unborn child "Keith Langford" after the freshman guard on the team.
Langford said he wasn't sure how to take that.
"I didn't think the guy was serious," he said. "I appreciate that he felt that way, but that is a bit extreme. I can't say if that's right or wrong. I'm glad they think so highly of Kansas basketball."
Hinrich's ankle better
Kirk Hinrich's ankle is almost 100 percent, the junior guard said, but he'll still wear the air brace that he has worn for the last three games.
"Against Oregon, that's the best it has felt in awhile," the junior guard said. "I hardly even think about my ankle anymore. The only thing that reminds me of it is that brace."
Kansas trainer Mark Cairns said it was in Hinrich's best interest to wear the brace because his ankle had not healed completely.
Still, some Stanford fan Internet boards claimed Hinrich's ankle injury against Holy Cross
two weeks ago was a charade meant to give the Jayhawks an excuse if they lost to the No. 16 seed Crusaders.
"Somebody told me that it was orchestrated about how severe Kirk Hinrich's ankle was," Williams said. "No one in the world was more worried about Kirk Hinrich's ankle than I was. If it was made up, he fooled me."
Games on MegaVision
Jayhawk fans who don't have the opportunity to travel to Atlanta to see Kansas play in the Final Four can watch Saturday's game against Maryland on the Memorial Stadium MegaVision, the video board located in the south end zone.
Kansas officials said there were plans for a party at the stadium during the game but nothing had been finalized.
Crabs and ribs
Kansas Congressman Dennis Moore, a 1967 University of Kansas graduate, and Maryland Congressman Steny Hoyer, a 1963 graduate of Maryland, have placed a friendly wager on Saturday's National Semifinal game between their alma maters.
Moore promised Hoyer two pounds of Kansas City-style barbecue ribs "in the unlikely event that the Terrapins are victorious."

Something will be different for Roy Williams at the season's Final Four. He won't have to face the Tarheels. The first two times Williams went as Kansas' coach he faced his former school and mentor, coach Dean Smith.
"I hadn't even thought about that." Williams said.
The Jayhawks beat the Tarheels in the National Semifinals in 1991 to advance to championship game, but lost to eventual national champion North Carolina in 1993 in the National Semifinals.

Bunge added that although the team didn't have class, the Jay hawks never really escape the pressures of the class

Notes:
Senior outfielder Leah Tabb was named the Big 12 Player of the Week. Tabb hit .500 in five games last week, including five hits, four runs and one RBI. She reached base in every game and leads Kansas with a .556 batting average in Big 12 Conference
play. Tabb is the third Jayhawk to be named Big 12 Player of the Week this season. Senior outfielder Christi Musser and freshman outfielder Serena Settlemier were chosen earlier this season.

Selig also promised not to unilaterally implement new terms and conditions of employment for players through the end of the World Series, which is of little significance because players already have signed their 2002 contracts.
SUA
Baseball commissioner Bud Selig said for months that a lockout was not "on my radar screen," but had refused to rule one out.
Baseball owners vow not to enact new work rules, form lockout
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Baseball owners pledged yesterday not to lock out players through the 2002 World Series.
The players' association is fearful owners will attempt to implement changes in work rules immediately after the World Series, which would affect contracts signed for the 2003 season and beyond.
"Our fans deserve to know that the 2002 season will be played to completion without interruption and they deserve to know that now before we begin the new season," Selig said in a statement. "Therefore, on behalf of the clubs, I pledge that we will not take any economic action either in the form of a lockout or unilateral implementation against the players' association throughout the course of the season and post-season.
These are women who have plenty of experience scaling mountains around the world, but they are not professional climbers. They have a different agenda.
"The sanctity of the season, however, is only partially within my control. Since we do not have a new collective bargaining agree-
becoming the first all-female team to scale Everest would be a bonus but it's not the goal.
ment, the players have the right to strike at anytime. I sincerely hope that they share my strong feeling about the importance of playing the entire season."
The labor contract between players and owners expired on Nov.7 and negotiations for a new agreement have not progressed toward a new deal.
Two heart operations and a case of mercury poisoning can't keep Alison Levine down. Kids at home, jobs, the full gamut of middle-aged life — no problem for Lynn Prebble, Jody Thompson and Kim Clark.
For the 58-year-old Cross, who would be the oldest woman to reach the top of Everest if all goes well, the triumph is simply in trying, in conquering fears if not mountains, and inspiring others not to let age or disease stand in the way of their dreams.
In 1994, players were fearful owners would attempt to implement new work rules, and they struck on Aug. 12, baseball's eighth work stoppage since 1972. The walkout lasted 232 days and wiped out the World Series for the first time since 1903.
"You can step out of your comfort zone and push yourself to go for the things you want, and you don't have to be deterred by war or terrorism or economic crisis or anything like that," says Levine, who came up with the idea for the all-female expedition and got funding from Ford.
Owners did implement new work rules, which included a salary cap, on Dec. 23, 1994. However, the players' association filed an unfair labor practice charge and on March 31, 1995, a federal judge ordered owners to restore the old work rules, which cause players to end their strike.
Negotiations resumed and the sides signed a new contract on March 14, 1997.
"We want to show that women do have a place in mountaineering and that it isn't all about getting to the top. It's about going out there and working as a team. It's about the power of women, about perseverance, about the American spirit and how we are not willing to give up our dreams just because there's a lot of chaos in the world."
Talks, which recessed March 13, are to resume next week but progress doesn't appear likely in the near future.
The most unlikely band ever to try to scale the world's tallest mountain leaves today on a journey with a message for everyone.
Cross might look wispy at 5-foot-2 and 115 pounds, but she's been climbing up and down slopes since she was a little girl with her grandmother in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. While planning climbs in Nepal five years ago, she found out she had breast cancer.
The doctor won, and after radiation and a lumpectomy the disease has not come back.
Owners say baseball is losing hundreds of millions of dollars annually and has a competitive balance problem. They have proposed a vast increase in revenue sharing and a 50 percent luxury tax on the portions of payrolls above $98 million.
["He said] "Wrong, you're not going to Nepal," she said
"Wait a minute, you don't understand, I don't have time for this, I'm going to Nepal," Cross said she told her doctor.
Determined women to climb up Everest
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — On her milestone fifth anniversary of surviving breast cancer, backpacking granny Midge Cross is taking on another small challenge: climbing Mount Everest.
Planting a flag on the peak of the 29,035-foot mountain, which has claimed the lives of 174 climbers since 1922, and
"So five years later, almost to the day, I have an opportunity to go and it's just incredible," she said. "Now, as luck would have it, my younger sister has breast cancer and she's going through chemotherapy. So in a way, this is a climb for her, too."

Maryland forward ready for Final Four
The Associated Press
COLLEGE PARK, Md. — A second straight trip to the Final Four and a showdown against the top team in the nation isn't enough to faze Bvron Mouton.
Maryland's senior forward nearly didn't make it this far.
Mouton considered quitting the team in December after his brother, Kevin, was shot to death in Houston. Mouton learned of his brother's death during a game against Connecticut.
"I wanted to be with my mom and stop whatever I was doing," Mouton said yesterday. "But she made me realize that the most important thing is to keep doing what I've been doing. She said one thing my brother always wanted me to do was to keep playing ball and get an education."
Mouton's physical play and defense have been key components in Maryland's success this season. He hopes to play a pivotal
part Saturday when the Terps attempt to slow a speedy Kansas team in a national semifinal in Atlanta.
Mouton has used December's tragedy as motivation late in the season and in the NCAA tournament.
"Ever since that day, I don't want to take anything for granted," he said. "Every time I step on that court, I want to give it my best effort."
While the death of his brother has been the biggest challenge Mouton has faced in his two seasons at Maryland, it hasn't been the only one.
Mouton transferred from Tulane without knowing much about the success of Maryland's program.
"Coming in my first year, I wanted to be in a different environment," he said. "I just wanted to help the team and win the national championship."
Mouton averaged 9.6 points in his first season with the Terps and
11. 3 points this year. The senior's biggest contribution has been on defense and his presence in the locker room.
"I preached to my team this year that it would be a big disappointment if we didn't make the Final Four," he said. "It would be great if we get to the national championship because of all I went through."
Steve Blake said Mouton could set the mood for the team with his antics in the locker room.
"He's a character — he's a guy that brings a lot of energy to us," Blake said. "He'll come in and do a flip or start barking like a dog."
Anties aside, Blake said, Mouton has stepped up his game since December.
"He's definitely played well since that happened," Blake said. "Maybe he's refocused."
For now, Mouton said he's focused on beating Kansas and advancing to the championship
"She made me realize that the most important thing is to keep doing what I've been doing. She said one thing my brother always wanted me to do was to keep playing ball and get an education."

Is there anything special Mouton is working on for Kansas?
"Transition," he said. "We have to slow them down. Transition is the key."
Not a surprise coming from someone who knows about change.

Mishaps give Foster lead role
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Some cinematic karma involving mishaps to a couple of actors from Down Under brought Jodie Foster and director David Finchertogether in the panic room.
Nicole Kidman's recurring knee injury early last year left Fincher without his lead actress on the thriller Panic Room three weeks into shooting.
A few months earlier, Foster's latest directing effort, the Depression-era circus tale Flora Plum, was shelved after star Russell Crowe injured his shoulder while training for the film.
With the deadline approaching for a potential actors strike, Fincher needed a name actress fast to keep his production from being shut down. Twotime Academy Award winner Foster unexpectedly happened to be out of work.
Within weeks, Panic Room resumed shooting with Foster in the lead.
"I kind of like jumping into films. I like being on the spur of the moment," Foster said. "I also knew that unless they found somebody kind of my stature in the next two weeks, the film was going to be canned because there might be an actors strike. I really liked the script, and it was important for me to do that for David Fincher."
Co-starring Forest Whitaker, Dwight Yoakam and Jared Leto, Panic Room follows a mother and daughter who take refuge from burglars in a fortress-like sanctum inside their Manhattan brownstone.
The character mutated somewhat after Foster signed on. Initially, the newly divorced mother had been envisioned as a bit more helpless, Fincher said.
"I think Jodie Foster can do anything except maybe play helpless." Fincher said. "I think she's worked without exception in the 35 years of her career to bring characters to life who are smart and thoughtful and capable and curious. Kind of all these good qualities, yet ravaged by certain realities. She's not willing to play the unrealistic hero who has no faults."
Panic Room is the first film in more than two years for Foster, 39, who has scaled back on acting because of directing projects and commitments to her two sons, the youngest born last September. Foster has starred in two films since 1994.
Foster decided against doing Hannibal, the sequel to The Silence of the Lambs, which had brought her second best-actress Oscar. Her first best-actress Oscar was for The Accused. At the time, she was busy preparing to direct Flora Plum, but she also was uncomfortable with how author Thomas Harris had developed her character, Clarice Starling, in Hannibal.
"It's not the same character," Foster said. "Thomas Harris just went to a different place with this one."
Besides Panic Room, Foster has a supporting role as a nun in The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys, a teen drama opening in limited release in June. She also is a producer on the film, one of the last coming from her production company, Egg Pictures.

Kansas' First Team All-America, Big 12 Conference Player of the Year, USBWA First Team All-
America, USBWA District VI Player of the Year and NABC First Team All-America found out yesterday he was named Basketball America's Player of the Year.
"For real?" he said. "I guess that's an honor. It's one of my goals to get some of those player
of the year awards and I knew I could only do that if we won games. I'll have to thank my teammates and coach Williams for this."

"Ever since I signed on the dotted line, my goal has been to win the NCAA Tournament," he said. "I try to just stay focused on that. I try not to get caught up in all the craziness. We really haven't done that in my eyes. That's when you lose track of your goals and end up losing."
The Kansas players have never been to the Final Four, but Roy Williams has been there twice as the Jayhawks' coach — in 1991 and 1993. Collison said that Williams' previous experience dealing with the Final Four hype would be beneficial to the team.
"He will do a good job of making sure that when it's time to work on basketball, we'll work on basketball and not worry about anything else," Collison said. "The second we don't, we'll be on the end line running sprints."
Williams said that the more attention his team received, the more pressure it might feel to win. He said the 1990 Jayhawk team fell victim to that pressure in the NCAA Tournament after qualifying as a No.1 seed.
"I thought that those kids cared so much and worried so much about what people were thinking, the pressure did get to them." Williams said. "But this

ISSUE 118 VOLUME 112
Vision impaired by disqualification
By Sarah Hill Kansan staff writer
And then there were three.
Matt Steppe, Vision Coalition presidential candidate, was disqualified from the election by the Student Senate Elections Commission Hearing Board. The board ruled that Steppe misled the Elections Commission by not being enrolled as a student.
Steppe was automatically dropped from his classes on Feb. 6 because of financial aid problems. He has not yet petitioned the school for re-enrollment.
Scott Kaiser, Hearing Board chairman, said the violation occurred when Steppe signed a declaration of candidacy on March 6 and agreed that he met all of the qualifications for running in a Senate election. Candidates must be enrolled in at least one hour and intend to do so for the following year.
Steppe
Stephen
"He violated his declaration of candidacy on March 6 because he was not a student then," Kaiser said. "As of today, he's still not enrolled, and still violating the code."
The Hearing Board met in a closed session for almost two hours last night to discuss Steppe's fate.
Steppe was charged with violating three sections of the elections code. The charges included submitting false information to the Commission, attempting to mislead the Commission and failing to meet all of the requirements for candidacy.
Steppe told the board he had been working on re-enrolling for the last month, but only received the proper paperwork yesterday. He said he had attended his classes all semester, but only needed to pay his fees and obtain closed class openers to complete the process.
"The process is not to blame, but the process impeded my actions," Steppe said.
The violation complaint was filed on March 12 by Elections Commissioner David Mitchell after someone informed a commission member that Steppe might not have been enrolled.
Student Senate rules and regulations prevented both Steppe and vice-presidential candidate Laura Rupe from running once one of them was disqualified.
Other members of the Vision Coalition can still run for office, but Mitchell will decide if new presidential and vice-presidential candidates can run under the Vision name.

Those stuck in Lawrence gather to celebrate holiday traditionally spent with their families
By Maggie Koerth Kansan staff writer
SARA SHEPHERD/KANSAN
Sundown yesterday marked the beginning of Passover, a week-long jewish holiday that celebrates the release of the Hebrew slaves from Egypt.
Overland Park sophomore Leo Khayet, left, and Santiago, Chile, sophomore Tomas Ancelovici share traditional Jewish foods at KU Hillel's Seder, the ceremonial dinner that accompanies the first two nights of Passover. The dinner was held last night in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
Traditionally, Passover is celebrated at home with family and friends, but for many University of Kansas students, traveling home during the week isn't an option.
Eve Katz, Birmingham, Ala., senior, said Passover could be a time of homesickness, but she knew many students who found ways to celebrate without their families.
"You can spend it with the friends here that you made and have the same things and bring everyone's traditions from their families to this one Seder," she said.
Seder is the ceremonial dinner that accompanies the first two nights of Passover. It is the main ceremony of the holiday.
Sue Shafer-Landau, director of Hillel, the University's Jewish student center, said the Seder consisted of a ceremonial storytelling and a dinner.
"We tell the story of Moses and the exodus and the creation of the people of Israel," she said. "There are certain symbolic foods that you eat. They are symbolic of the story and also of springtime and
rebirth."
She said seven foods are traditionally served at Seder. An egg and a sprig of parsley both represent springtime. Haroset, a mixture of fruit, nuts and honey, represents the mortar the Hebrew slaves used to build pyramids for the Pharaohs. Salt water represents the tears of the slaves. A shank bone stands in for the sacrificial lamb. Matzoh is unleavened bread, like the kind eaten by the escaping slaves. Finally, horseradish or another bitter herb represents the bitterness of slavery.
BecauseplanningaPassovercelebra-
tion can be a daunting task for students used to celebrating at home, Shafer-Landau said Hillel gave a student Seder last night.

Concern about civil liberties Patriot Act revive ACLU
By Erin Adamson Kansan senior staff writer
The Douglas County chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union has been revived as a local watchdog out of concern that the national war on terrorism is infringing on civil liberties.
"You cannot

practice democrazy without civil liberty."
"You cannot
David Burrell associate scientist and representative to national board of ACLU
"You cannot practice democracy without civil liberty, " Burrass said.
Most of the 15 people who attended a meeting Tuesday night at Lawrence Memorial Hospital were concerned about the USA Patriot Act, which Congress passed following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The Patriot Act gives domestic law enforcement and international intelligence agencies more power to track which books a person buys at a bookstore or checks out of the library, check Web sites a person visits, place roving wire taps and detain and hold immigrants in custody without bond indefinitely.
Doris Stine, a Lawrence resident, said she joined partly out of concern that college-aged Americans who were her sons' ages didn't know about issues that affected them, such as proposed random drug testing in high schools and the USA Patriot Act.
"I think it's crucial," Stine said. "I think a lot of people are aware. But there are too many people that aren't."
No students attended the Tuesday meeting, but Burgess said he had received e-mails from interested students.
Former Kansas ACLU president Steve Lopes said one of the group's goals should be to involve KU students. He said the largest student chapter of the ACLU in the country was at the University of Kansas in the early 90s. The University does not have an active ACLU

Ask car dealers good questions to drive away happy
By Melissa Shuman Kansan staff writer
Sumithra Rao, Overland Park junior, is glad she did some research before she bought a 1998 Nissan Altima. The last time she bought a car, a 1999 Honda Civic, she had to sell it back because she couldn't afford the $280 payments every month.
Before she went car shopping this time, Rao talked to two friends who are car dealers in the Kansas City area. She also consulted the Kelley Blue Book and the National Automobile Dealers Association Handbook to find the values of used cars.
"I learned a lot more about how to deal with car dealers, I realized from the first time that I needed to do a lot more research." Rao said.
"You have to be careful because sometimes they will try to mark up the price." Rao said.
When she bought her Altima, the
Many resources are available to students for researching used cars. This April, Consumer Reports magazine published its annual auto picks of 2002. The magazine includes a list of reliable used cars and potential maintenance problems. The report surveyed problems of 204 auto models ranging from 1994 to 2001. The report said the most common problems with aging vehicles were with brake systems, power equipment and body hardware. The fewest complaints were about exhaust, cooling and ignition systems and the engine.

"He said it hadn't been in a wreck and I believed him because you have to disclose that information," Rao said, "I could tell just by looking at it. There wasn't a scratch on it. I checked under the hood and everything was fine."
Car buyers can check out the validity of the car's title deed to see whether it was stolen or the insurance company bought back the car after severe damage. The Department of Revenue's Motor Vehicle Division at (785) 296-3298 keeps track of automobile title deeds sold in Kansas.

Virginia group sues Leavenworth High School after principal banned Confederate flag T-shirt
LEAVENWORTH—A conservative legal group has sued Leavenworth High School after its principal allegedly refused to let a student wear a T-shirt with the Confederate battle flag on it.
The Rutherford Institute filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Kansas City last week on behalf of the student, David Kennedy.
Kansas City last week of Hurricane Katrina The lawsuit contends that principal James VanMaanen said that wearing such a shirt was racist. He allegedly told Kennedy's father, an ROTC instructor at the school, that if David wore the shirt to school, he would have to turn it inside out or leave school.
VanMaanen did not immediately return a phone call from The Associated Press yesterday.
Associated Press Yesterday Kennedy is a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. He had received a "Legends in Gray" T-shirt for his birthday. It includes three small Confederate flags and a large 1861-65 map of Georgia, with pictures of famous Confederate Civil War figures.
In the lawsuit, the institute argues that VanMaanen's actions violated Kennedy's rights to free speech. It also said VanMaanen had in the past ordered another student to turn a Confederate T-shirt inside out or leave school.
out of leave school. The Virginia-based institute said neither the high school nor the school district has a policy prohibiting the wearing of clothes depicting the Confederate flag.
In 2000, the Rutherford Institute sued the Derby school district for suspending a seventh-grade student who drew a picture of the Confederate flag. The case went to the U.S. Supreme Court, which rejected the institute's arguments that the suspension violated the youth's freedom of speech and other constitutionally protected rights.

Researchers receive grant for $1.1 million
Researchers of cardiovascular diseases at the University of Kansas Medical Center received a $1.1 million, five-year grant this month from the National Institutes of Health to research the effects of high blood pressure on blood vessels around the heart.
We are trying to understand how blood vessels are altered or remodeled by hypertension," said Jie Du, associate professor of internal medicine.
Patrice Delafontaine, director of cardiovascular diseases, said hypertension caused vessels to thicken and that reduced blood flow, which could lead to medical problems including heart attack, stroke and kidney failure.
"Hypertension is the most common disease in the United States," he said. "There are 50 million people with hypertension."

Benefit concert raises money for children's hospital charity
By Caroline Boyer Kansan staff writer
A crowd of almost 550 people jammed to Shaking Tree and Tim Mahoney last night at a concert at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St., that also helped raise money for charity.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, with the help of Delta Gamma sorority, sponsored the non-alcoholic benefit concert. All proceeds went to the Children's Miracle Network.
The fraternity sold 550 tickets, and at last count had raised $4.421.
"We've made a lot more than we did with last year's philanthropy," said Jim Lewis, philanthropy chair for the fraternity. "I couldn't ask for more than this."
Although the fraternity fell short of its goal of $8,000, Lewis, Lawrence sophomore, said he thought the concert was a success.
"Every year we try to improve what we did last year, and last year we made $500 and now we made almost $4,500, so it's obviously
working," he said. "I think next year they could do a lot more things to get more people involved, get a better atmosphere."
The Children's Miracle Network was founded in 1983, and now helps raise money for 170 children's hospitals. The money raised last night will go to Children's Mercy Hospital and KU Medical Center.
Lewis said he just had to e-mail the managers of the bands to arrange for them to play.
"Since it was for charity, they didn't hesitate at all." Lewis said.
Kris "Katfish" Kelly, D.J. for Mix 93.3 and senior coordinator for the Kansas City branch of the Children's Miracle Network, said it was rare for a college organization to raise such a large amount.
"This is incredible," Kelly said. "I had no idea it would raise this much money and I'm totally surprised."
Shaking Tree took the stage shortly after 7 p.m. as the crowd steadily grew. The band, whose members met at the University of
Kansas, played a one-hour set that included the song "Hold On To You." The song will be featured in the upcoming movie So Now You Know, set for release in June. The band also recently performed at the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
Amanda Titel, Iola junior, said she came to the concert to see Shaking Tree.
"I really enjoyed seeing Shaking Tree, but it wasn't as exciting as the last time I saw them." Titel said.
Dain Estes, lead guitarist and vocalist,
said the band didn't get to perform at as
many benefit concerts as they would like.
"We squeeze in as many Lawrence dates as we can, which is probably about two a semester if we're lucky," Estes said.
Shaking Tree will return to Lawrence May 3 at Abe and Jake's Landing, E. Sixth St.

The ACLU Web site says that post Sept. 11 incursions on civil liberties on college campuses included censorship and the stifling of dissent against military action and in racial targeting of Arabs and Muslims.
Mary Davidson, who will serve as the chapter's president, said she decided to become active in the chapter because of the Patriot Act.
"I think it's extremely frightening," she said. "Whatever I do, I do openly. I bought several anti-Bush books and I hope he knows it."
At a forum on March 5 sponsored by the Lawrence-Douglas County League of Women Voters and the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice at the Lawrence Public Library, members decided to revive the ACLU chapter.

Altman said she was happy to be able to help her fellow students.

Consumer Reports recommends that buyers also check accident reports at www.nhtsa.dot.gov, www.autosafey.org, and www.lemonaidcars.com.
Most used car dealers run each used car through a service check before buying it from the previous owner, but no laws require it.
Dennis Griffin, service adviser for Jack Ellena Honda, 2957 Four Wheel Drive, said each used car at the dealership went through a 90-point checklist before it was resold.
"You really have to know the prior record of the vehicle when you buy it." Griffin said.
Kansas law requires merchants give an implied warranty with every purchase. A "warranty of merchantability" means the seller promises the car will operate without major repairs. This basic warranty is usually included in the cost.
Buyers can ensure affordability of repair costs by getting an extended warranty called a service contract.
Kao said when she bought her first car she bought a $1,700 service contract that she didn't use because her car never needed major repairs. The service contract acts as an extended warranty, the actual length of the warranty depends on the contract.
When she bought her Altima, she said a used-car dealer tried to get her to buy a $1,900 service contract. She said she wouldn't use the contract for a car with only 32,000 miles.
York said he recommended service contracts for cars that had a history of problems.
"It's a good idea so you don't have to pay the full cost of repairs up front," he said. "Some people can't just write a check for $1,800."
He said some newer cars were under
The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Issue recommends that you:
Check the exterior for differences in paint shade or misaligned body panels. This means the car may have been in an accident.
Inspect the interior for upholstery or carpet stains. These could be signs of a water leak.
Look under the car for oil or coolant drips, which could indicate a more serious problem.
Have your independent mechanic run an inspection with an engine-compression test or a leak-down test.

THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 2002
EDITORIAL
Printed timetables make enrollment easier
Starting in the spring of 2003, the University of Kansas enrollment center will no longer offer printed timetables during enrollment periods. Instead, the timetable will only be available online. The enrollment center says that saving money and increasing efficiency in the enrollment process are some of the reasons the timetable will no longer come in printed form.
The timetable is already online, but the printed copies are still available for students. Online timetables might be a step toward online enrollment by making students comfortable with navigating an online system, but there is no need to completely get rid of the printed copies especially since universities with online enrollment also provide paper copies to students.
If the University wants to save money, it should print fewer copies rather than none at all. The enrollment office says that a printed timetable will be obsolete to students, because the information online will be current and constantly updated.
Some students are not yet comfortable with the idea of not having a solid, printed copy of the timetable, which they use to decide on their classes for the upcoming semester. It is convenient to be able to mark pages, highlight classes and have other useful information directly at hand.
Some students are not very familiar with working online. The timetable is a convenience most people are not ready to give up. This might not be a monumental issue for enrollment, but it is a matter of students being able to feel comfortable with the already confusing process.
The timetable is already online, providing a convenient way for students to check updated and added classes and times, and should remain so. However, it is not always convenient for students to have to check a computer every time they need to look up that information.
Eliminating the printed timetable from the enrollment process is perhaps a good idea for the future, but for the present, having copies available at hand for students is still the best route to ensuring efficient enrollment.

'Kansan' report card
Pass:
Memorial Stadium game broadcast. Just in case you didn't want to drive to Atlanta, or kick back with a cold one, you can watch Saturday's basketball game at the stadium. Maybe now we'll see what a full stadium actually looks like.
Student Senate candidates. There hasn't been much mud slinging so far, and let's hope it stays that way. Even without the former coalition Resume Builders' giant pink bunny, this election has been pretty pleasant.
Waffle Houses. In honor of those road-tripping to Atlanta, we're paying homage to the champion of post-drinking dining. Look for them near most major truckstops all the way down south.
Fail:
Terrapins. If Saturday's game were to come down to the mascots, the Jayhawks would win hands-down. Maryland may have a solid basketball team, but it's turtle mascot is right up there with the Powercat on the list of dumb characters.
- Timetable shortage. Timetables were scarce the past two days at the Korean Royal Rugiaunions. As if enrollment could be anymore painful.
- **E-passport**. While a step toward online enrollment is appreciated, using the Internet is supposed to make a task faster and easier. Student complaints of slow ARTS form downloading indicate that E-passport isn't working very well.
PERSPECTIVE
Self-determination is crucial to win war on terrorism
A lot has been discussed lately surrounding strategies to win the war on terrorism. I never thought about promoting the ideal of self-determination as such a strategy until I tried visiting an old ex-girlfriend for a week.
Just as she was grasping to keep things together in her life, I showed up expecting her attention, hanging out with her family who she lived with and taking up space she wasn't used to sharing. I got frustrated because she didn't have time to hang out. She got frustrated because she felt like she did not even have control of her life at home. Suffice it to say it was not a fun week.
This is similar to what happens with roommate conflicts here at the University of Kansas. When people's lives get stressful, they usually start trying to reassert control over their lives where they live. Suddenly, a trivial act like leaving food out becomes proof of just how far out of hand things have gotten, and all hell breaks loose.
This is not to say we always have to have or even want complete self-determination and control over everything in our lives. We often trade some control and freedom for something we believe is more valuable, such as romantic relationships, marriage, children, the promise of safety or benefits we believe come with our particular faith.
COMMENTARY
Having a sense of self-determination or the ability to participate is a key element of democratic principles. But what happens when we feel like freedom or control is taken from us, or kept from us, without our consent? We get frustrated and angry and eventually we act. The ways in which humans act to regain their sense of control in their lives can be varied and extreme.
JOHN E. HUNTER
David Grummon opinion@kansan.com
The value of self-determination is important to keep in mind as the
United States fights to end terrorism. Killing off the existing terrorists is essential, but it won't address the root causes of terrorism. Nor is it enough forus to simply extend our power and influence to more parts of the globe.
While that might make us feel like we're more in control, it does nothing to address those in countries where terrorists come from who feel like they have no control over their lives. If we are to end terrorism, we must see that people have more of a say in their corner of the world, and that there is a real alternative to
senseless acts of violence. The approach of helping the Afghan to establish a broad-based government is the right way to go about this.
On the other hand, tightening the economic blockade that has starved the Iraqi people for years might make us feel better and more in control, but it only makes the Iraqi people feel more helpless. The only way they have left to feel somewhat in control is to support Sadaam Hussein, the dictator who defies the United States and the U.N. weapons inspectors.
My ex and I are friends again, but we both know we shouldn't put each other in situations that make us feel helpless. Humans are just programmed to react badly when we feel out of control. This is no less true when it comes to the root causes of senseless violence in our world.

'Whities' turn tables on racist mascots
An intramural basketball team at the University of Northern Colorado is making money the old-fashioned way off the stereotypical image of another race.
According to Coleman Cornelius' March 12 Denver Post article, the team is selling shirts featuring its new mascot: Fightin' White.
"The shirt has a 1950's style, clean cut white man with the slogan "Everything's going to be all white."

COMMENTARY
---
The Native American, Latino and white team members are protesting a nearby Eaton, Colo. high school's "Fightin' Reds" nick name according to a March 12 Associated Press article. The mascot's image is a hook-nosed Native American with a feather in his braid and a bare chest according to Julie Cart's March 15 Los Angeles Times article.
The shirts are a humorous way to deal with the serious issue of Native American mascots. Although the
shirts are funny, the people of Eaton aren't laughing. According to the Los Angeles Times article, many in the town don't see the problem of their beloved mascot and wish the issue would go away.
More disturbing than the mascots themselves are people's reactions when they are attacked. Instead of listening to another cultural perspective on the image, people often cling tighter to the stereotypical mascot.
Usually the excuse arises that the mascots are simply honoring
Native Americans and not to take offense. But what happens if the people you're supposedly honoring don't want the "compliment?"
The Fightin' Red moniker and other Native American mascots around the country are simply offensive.
These mascots restrain Americans from fully understanding all of our culture. We oversimplify the various Native American cultures by dressing up in war paint, doing the tomahawk chop and wearing feathers.
These mascots are the epitome of America's view on its own Native people. Do you remember sitting "Indian" style in elementary school? Did you ever sing "Ten Little Indians"? Did you ever use the Indian Red crayon out of the box? Wasn't it amazing that almost every kid knew how to draw an Native American (with the feathers and war paint) even if they never met one real life? Just because these images are familiar doesn't mean they're accurate.
whenever the mascot issue arises, people will point to other cultural mascots like the Vikings or the Fighting Irish and say these images aren't offensive. Why then are Native American mascots? First, we don't have any people still practicing the Viking way of life, so there's no one to offend. And mascots like the Aggies, Cowboys and Patriots are acceptable because people embrace these positive images.
I hope that the people of Eaton, and elsewhere across the country will be open to dialogue about this issue.
Hopefully, after the T-shirts are sold out and the intramural basketball season is over, people won't miss the point. As ridiculous as it is to have a white man on your shirt, it's also ridiculous and demeaning to have a Native American mascot.

Students take a stab at 'physical chess'
By Adam Pracht
Kansan staff writer
Thanks to the efforts of Brian McDow, stabbing should continue for a long time at the University of Kansas.
McDow, West Des Moines, Iowa, junior, is the president of the KU Fencing Club, and has been working to revitalize the program after leadership and paperwork problems nearly ended the program last year.
Fencing is a sport where competitors use one of three types of blunt sword, épée, saber or foil, to try to score points by striking certain areas of their opponent. The competitors wear protective vests and face masks.
"It's often described as physical chess," McDow said. "It's always a chess match against your opponent. It's mental, it's physical, it's everything at once."
McDow said fencing almost disappeared from the University when last year's leadership didn't turn in the correct paperwork. When he transferred from Iowa State University last semester, he helped to resurrect the club and turned in the paperwork to maintain the club two weeks before the last scheduled meeting for organizations. All organizations have to turn in renewal paperwork and attend at least one meeting.
Ryan Reed, Overland Park sophomore, is the only member of last year's team. He said last year's leadership was too involved academically to commit to the club.
"Only the president came. She was the only one involved," he said. "I never saw the vice president, never saw the treasurer, never saw the secretary."
Reed said that toward the end of the year, the president was called to other commitments and the paperwork was overlooked.
He said he would have been disappointed if his equipment had gone to waste because he enjoys the sport.
Since the club started again in October, membership has increased to about a dozen novice fencers. Last weekend, they went to their first novice tournament. McDow said he was pleased with the results, especially since his competitors had less experience than anyone else at the tournament.
Deborah Dalton, Topeka freshman, took first in the women's foil at the competition. She said that McDow was a good leader and that they wouldn't have gotten too far in the tournament without him.
McDow said that he hoped to leave behind a stable program that would be able to grow. The club has equipment for at least 20 members. He said the club was trying to gain
"It's not the swashbuckling movie that you would expect,but it is fun."
Brian McDow President, KU Fencing Club
greater visibility as a club and plans to host a fencing tournament at the University this fall, and would like to have a fencing demonstration on Wescoe Beach.
McDow said that anyone who was interested should come to practice wearing comfortable clothing, pay the $10 dues and give it a try. The club meets at 6:30 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays at 215 in Robinson Center.
He said most people have misperceptions about the amount of work required.
"It's not the swashbuckling movie that you would expect, but it is fun," he said.
"I would say that just about everyone comes in expecting to pick up a sword and be Zorro, but it just doesn't happen." McDow said. "I would say that we lose more fencers to that 'oh, it's work' than anything else."

Stripe rust survives winter, may threaten Kansas wheat
The Associated Press
WICHITA — Farmers now have more than just the lingering drought to fear as their winter wheat fields begin greening up across Kansas.
U. S. Department of Agriculture pathologist Bob Bowden said Tuesday that stripe rust has survived the winter in Texas, and he puts the risk for Kansas having an infestation as moderately high.
An epidemic of stripe rust last year — the first such outbreak since 1918 — cut yields on infected winter wheat fields from 25 to 50 percent in Kansas, he said.
All it takes is a heavy dew for a few hours for the spores to flourish, even in the current dry conditions now plaguing the crop.
"It already has a start in Texas." Bowden said. "The history is of spores moving from the southern plains to the central plains in the wind. The question is when we will get them."
If there is a lot of movement of spores two weeks from now, Kansas farmers could be making some tough choices about whether to spend the money spraying. Bowden said.
"Putting a rust treatment on a crop that doesn't look very good is a tough decision," he said.
Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service reported this week that drought has so stressed the winter wheat crop that nearly half of it was ranked in poor to very poor condition.
In its weekly crop weather report, the agency said 17 percent of the crop was in
very poor shape and 27 percent was in poor condition. Another 33 percent was ranked as fair. Just 21 percent was in good condition, and 2 percent was reported as excellent.
Sherman County wheat grower Ken Palmgren said that he got eight inches of snow last weekend on his northwest Kansas farm — welcomed moisture given the dry weather conditions this growing season.
"Some of the wheat had already died. The soil was so loose and dry you could pull it out of the ground," he said.
The state will get a better idea of how the crop is doing statewide during the annual winter wheat tour, scheduled April 29 through May 2. Last year, dire predictions for a poor harvest evaporated with late spring rains.
Kansas farmers in the next two weeks are expected to start preparing for spring crops—and that's when many will decide whether to abandon winter wheat and plant something else instead.
Last year, Kansas farmers destroyed 1.6 million acres of their winter wheat crop that was already in such bad shape that it was not worth harvesting.
"It is not too late if we can get some moisture and get perfect growing conditions like we did last year." said Brett Myers, executive vice president of the Kansas Association of Wheat Growers. "If the plant is not dead, it can still produce some grain."
Kansas House tries to fix expensive budget woes
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Beset by members' doubts about deep spending cuts and besieged by protesters, the House struggled yesterday to write a plan for eliminating a projected $700 million budget shortfall.
In a series of votes, members restored money to the proposed budget for the next fiscal year to lessen the potential cuts in education and social services spending. Members debated budget issues for four hours before adjourning Tuesday evening and resumed their work yesterday.
They did approve, 71-52, a bill making minor changes in the budget for the current fiscal year, which ends June 30. But the big issue is the budget for fiscal 2003, which starts July 1.
The debate centers on a plan by the House Appropriations Committee to balance expected revenues and required spending over the next 15 months without increasing taxes.
But that plan required deep spending cuts in education and social services, including a $303 per pupil reduction in aid to public schools that House members deemed unpalatable. On a voice vote Tuesday, they restored $175 million that the plan would cut, to keep aid per pupil at the current $3,870.
House members yesterday continued to consider an alternative offered by conservative Republicans that avoids tax increases and some cuts in education and social services. It would cover the
shortfall partly by dipping into cash reserves and utilizing extra federal funds.
"What it appears that comes out of this is that there isn't anybody who's willing to cut their way out of this situation," said State Budget Director Duane Goossen, who watched the debate inside the House chamber. "There has to be new revenues."
The possibility of reductions in social services brought about 100 disabled Kansans and activists to the Statehouse, where they chanted outside the House chamber.
challenged outside the House
House Speaker Kent Glasscock, R-
Manhattan, said Tuesday night that members so far appear unwilling to cut the budget sufficiently to cover the shortfall.
we're going to have to
"Ultimately, we're going to have to revisit the issue of tax increases," he said.
The GOP conservatives' proposal to avoid some cuts by using $104 million from treasury reserves was approved on a 65-56 vote Tuesday.
By law, legislators must approve a budget that leaves a balance at the end of a given fiscal year equal to 7.5 percent of spending. The conservatives' plan would leave just 5 percent—only for the fiscal year starting July 1.
Critics said the state shouldn't use a one-time source of money to pay for ongoing government programs.

But KU has become a heavyweight in university art circles.The Spencer Museum of Art will soon be 25,and the Lied Center is 10.Both are now marvelous state assets considered to be among America's finest artistic venues.In art, as in science, facilities count.
But success creates challenges. Today, the Spencer cannot display a large portion of its collection, including the works of significant Kansas artists.And the Lied Center cannot accommodate the
range of performing arts inherent in a university community. What's more, the Hall Center for the Humanities has outgrown its quarters. So we're brushing off our building plans.

Kansas takes two against SEC rival
By Ali Brox Kansan sportswriter
The Kansan softball swept a doubleheader against Arkansas yesterday in Fayetteville and improved to 19-12 with the 2-1 and 3-0 wins.
"Arkansas had been playing well coming into these games," coach Tracy Bunge said. "They've had some good wins in the Southeastern Conference and have been getting some votes in the top 25 poll. These were good team wins for us in terms of we had good pitching, we were good defensively and aggressively."
Taking a break from conference play for a day, the games against Arkansas were important wins for the Jayhawks.
The Jayhawks have talked about being able to capitalize on other teams' mistakes, and they did just that yesterday as Arkansas made some crucial errors that opened the door for Kansas. In the first game, the Razorbacks committed three errors that led to the game-winning run for the Jayhawks.
Senior designated player Katie Campbell reached first on an error in the top of the seventh and sophomore catcher Dani May entered to run for Campbell. Senior second baseman Amy Hulse made a sacrifice but reached on a fielder's choice as the throw to get May at second was wide.
May and Hulse advanced to second
and third on a ground out by sophomore outfielder Melanie Wallach. Senior shortstop Courtney Wright reached on a walk to load the bases, and senior outfielder Shelly Musser reached base on another error by Arkansas that scored May from third for a 2-1 Jayhawk lead.
Freshman pitcher Serena Settlemier relieved sophomore pitcher Kara Pierce in the seventh inning and retired the side to seal the victory.
"Serena's such a contrast to Kara that it's a tough adjustment for teams that have been facing Kara for five innings to try to hit Serena." Bunge said. "Serena's handled the role of reliever well all season."
Milhoan said she felt good going into the game.
Bunge said junior pitcher Kirsten Milhoan's performance was a key factor in the second game.
"She threw a spectacular game," Bunge said. "She threw a one-hitter, and the only hit was an infield grounder that the runner beat out."
"I knew all my pitches were working today," Milhoan said. "Our team was very focused today and we came out with the attitude to get it done. We had no errors in either game."

Fight between mascots leaves sports behind
On paper, the Kansas-Maryland match-up is the marquee game of the Final Four.
Both teams are number one seeds that won at least 50 games. Both teams won their regular-season conference championship and expected to be here.
But which school would win if the Final Four consisted of fights between mascots and not basketball games?
While Paula Jones versus Tonya Harding or Barry Williams against Danny Bonaduce it's not, welcome to the my version of MTV's Celebrity Death Match and Fox's Celebrity Boxing. It features a mythical bird, a turtle, a settler of the Wild West and a uh, Hoosier.

THE BATTLES
LAURIE SISK/KANSAN
The Jayhawk uses its sharp beak and claws to attack its opponents. It uses its ability to fly and its speed and agility to attack foes from all angles. The Jayhawk fears nothing. It fights Wildcats, Tigers, Buffaloes and Longhorns annually and experiences a great deal of success.
Jayhawk versus Terrapin
The Terrapin's hard exterior shell protects the turtle when the opponent launches an offensive, which causes the foe to wear itself down trying to penetrate the powerful shield. While the Terrapin is slow, it makes up for its lack of speed by outthinking its foes.
Look for the Jayhawk to win this fight in a battle that should go all 40 minutes. The 'Hawks will keep attacking the shell of the Terrapin until it breaks. Big Jay will enjoy a delicious bowl of turtle soup to celebrate winning an old-fashioned street fight.
Davies is a St. Mary's senior in journalism.
Oklahoma's mascot is named for the settlers of what was the then-Oklahma territory that started the Land Run of 1889 before a cannon was fired that officially began the settlement. In an equal fight, the Sooner's biggest strength will be their sly ways. The Sooners also bring toughness of settling a territory and won't back down from any opponent.
Hoosier versus Sooner
This will be the bloodiest fight of all. The Jayhawk will need to be aware of the Sooner's tricks, but should be able to use its speed to its advantage. In the brutal, no-holds-barred fight, The Jayhawk will give new meaning to the phrase Beak 'Em' Hawks. The Jayhawk will peck the Sooner until he quits.
The Sooner faces a foe that no one, even fans of the Hoosier, know what it is. The Indiana web site (www.indiana.edu) refers interested Internet surfers to a July/August 1992 article in the Indiana Alumni Magazine. The article gave several options, including workers that dug a canal on the Ohio River for contractor Samuel Hoosier (or Hoosher), early rough and tumble settlers in the state, and a hick.
Whatever a Hoosier is, it's tough, but not as tough as a Sooner. This will be a rough and bloody brawl and the Sooners will do everything it takes to win and if it means walking the fine line between trickery and cheating ... well, anything's fair in a fight.
Jayhawk versus Sooner
Tough frontcourt match-up expected
Nick Collison pulls down one of his 15 rebounds against Oregon Sunday in Madison, Wis., during the Midwest Regional finals.
By Doug Pacey Kansan sportswriter
But if the Honorable Mention All-America Collison and First Team All-America Gooden are the nation's best front-court, who's second best?
Junior forwards Nick Collison and Drew Gooden have claimed all season to be college basketball's best frontcourt, and they've made quite a case for that brash and bold statement. All the duo has done is average 35.4 points and 19.8 rebounds per game. Heck, their 35 rebounds against No.2 seed Oregon Sunday was one more than the entire Ducks' total.
Why, that might be Maryland's tandem of forwards Lonny Baxter (15.6 ppg, 8.1 rpg) and Chris Wilcox (11.9 ppg, 7.1 rpg). They combine for 26.8 points and 15.7 rebounds a game and are athletic as any big men in college basketball.
"It's not a pleasant match-up, I can tell you that," Roy Williams said. "They are really physical, big, strong guys — Baxter, Wilcox — those guys up front."
Kansas right fielder Matt Tribleb fields a ground ball. Kansas beat Baker 9-3,
bringing the team's record to 12-9 overall.
So, how will the No. 2-ranked Jay hawks combat the No. 4 Terrapins' troublesome twosome?
"With the quickness of Gooden and the strength of Nick Collison," Gooden joked after answering that question for the ninth time during a news conference Tuesday.
But in all seriousness, it will take a Herculean effort from Collison, Gooden and reserve forwards freshman Wayne Simien and senior Jeff Carey to control the boards and dominate the post for Kansas (33-3 overall, 16-0 Big 12 Conference) to beat the Atlantic Coast Conference champ Maryland (30-4 overall, 15-1 ACC). Baxter (6-foot-8, 260 pounds) and Wilcox (6-10, 220 pounds) have the body size to bang with Gooden (6-10, 230 pounds) and Collison (6-9, 250 pounds) and the athleticism. to boot.

Hot hitters propel 'Hawks
By Ryan Wood
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
With the game tied 3-3 in the bottom of the eighth, the Kansas baseball team was fueled by two unexpected performances when it needed them most.
Junior infielder Casey Spanish, who entered the game hitting below .100, and freshman catcher Cole Armstrong, who had just recently found his stroke, combined to knock in five runs in a sixth-run Kansas eighth, propelling the Jayhawks to a 9-3 victory over Baker yesterday.
"Obviously, everyone goes through struggles," said Spanish, who entered the contest in a 4-for-48 slump. "It was real nice to help my teams get some runs there in the eighth."
With the win, the Jayhawks improved to 12-9 on the season. Baker dropped its fifth in a row and fell to 7-9.
"We learned more from this than if we'd jumped out to a big lead," coach Bobby Randall said. "We learned what we need to do and not to throw at-bats away. We needed to play today and that's why."
Freshman Chris Jones (2-0) earned the victory in relief. The southpaw struck out three and allowed just one hit in two innings of work. Freshman Tom Gorzelanny, normally the closer, started and pitched the first two
innings for Kansas.
Down 3-2 in the seventh, Spanish walked with one out. After stealing two bases, sophomore outfielder Adam Rachlin knocked him in with a sacrifice fly, tying the game.
"I thought our pitching hung together pretty good," Randall said, "but our offense lacked a little concentration."
"I haven't been out there enough to get stolen bases this year," Spanish said. "It was good to get out there and start running."
After back-to-back one-out hits in
the eighth, junior first baseman Kevin Wheeler was intentionally walked, bringing Armstrong to the plate with the bases loaded.
Armstrong delivered a two-run single, giving the Jayhawks their first lead and the catcher his fifth hit in the last two games.
"When they intentionally walked Wheeler," Armstrong said, "it put a little fuel in the fire."

Terps hope history won't repeat itself
Maryland looks to past experience for an edge in Saturday's game
By Brent Wasko
Kansan sportswriter
Maryland players and coaches remember the disappointment of losing in last year's Final Four all too well, and they never want to feel that kind of pain again.
Terrapins coach Gary Williams said being the only team with players in Atlanta to have Final Four experience is somewhat of an advantage.
The Terrapins blew a 22-point lead against Duke, losing 95-84 in a national semifinal game. Maryland has a chance for some vindication as the team prepares to play Kansas in the Final Four Saturday in Atlanta.
"We're not overwhelmed by returning
to the Final Four," Williams said. "Getting to the Final Four had been a goal for a long time, and we
M
finally made it last year, which makes it easier to comprehend everything this year.
"Hopefully, that will help us."
He said he learned a lot after last year's postseason loss.
"You know this is going to be a crazy week, but you have to assign yourself certain times during the day when you're just going to watch tape or just think about Kansas," Williams said. "The biggest thing that I found out last year is that you prepare for these games just like you do for regular season games."
Maryland was picked by many to make it to the Final Four before the season began, but it almost didn't happen for the Terrapins.
No. 2-seed Connecticut gave Maryland a scare in the East Region Final. The Terrapins trailed by as many as seven points late in the game, but with 25 seconds left in last Sunday's game and the shot clock nearing zero, guard Steve Blake sank a three-pointer, providing enough for Maryland to win, 90-82.
"The Connecticut game was as good a NCAA game as I've ever been involved, especially with the pressure of going to the Final Four falling on that game," Williams said. "I was proud of our players and the way they stood tall to win that game."
Maryland now hopes to take the next step by, not only beating Kansas, but also winning the national championship on Monday night.
But first, the Terrapins must get past the Jayhawks.
Williams said he views Kansas as his team's toughest opponent this season.
"They certainly have a great front line and a great back court," he said. "They're a terrific transition team and they play very good defense. They know how to put the ball back in the basket, which is probably the best thing they do. We have our work cut out for us and we look forward to the challenge."
Kansas coach Roy Williams said he has similar feelings about facing the Terrapins.
"They really have a well-rounded team, which I think we also have," he said. "So in that viewpoint, I think there are some similarities, but I think we both have some matchup problems because you never know which guy is going to hurt you the most."

Big hair, acid-wash jeans high tops, shoulder pads: the decade we hate to love
By James Manning Jayplay writer
Fox has come up with a totally rad new series. And although critics are saying "gag me with a spoon," the ratings have proved audiences are more ready than ever to return to the 1980s.
That '80s Show premiered with strong viewership levels for the Fox network, winning its time slot in the key young demographics networks strive to maintain. It is the network's second-highest rated new comedy of the season.
Fox is not alone in its pursuing the '80s for entertainment value. A sense of nostalgia for the decade of slap bracelets and neon mini skirts has people clamoring for everything '80s.
"I think that's because there were cooler things in the eighties," said Sarina Fisher, Derby freshman. "You actually got toys in the cereal box, the cartoons were better...there was better commercialism in the '80s."
Unfortunately, this commercial nostalgia is not always being met with quality product. Last year Twentieth Century Fox released the Mariah Carey vehicle Glitter. While Glitter was supposed to be a hit tribute to the '80s, tepid ticket sales and less-than-glorious reviews led to a quick box office death for the film.
Not to worry. This tribute to the '80s R&B sound is now available on DVD.
Allison Gabbard, Topeka junior, said the '80s itself was a time when she was more experimental with her dressing style.
"In the '80s I wore the neon green socks and fake Birkenstocks — not the real ones, the ones you got at Wal-Mart," she said. "I was not fashionable, I was just there."
While some confusion may be present about what exactly is '80s and what is retro, one common sound is '80s dance music. Many in Lawrence decide to get their '80s fix through retro nights at dance clubs.
"I love 80s dance music, Gaaboard said.
"It's my favorite," Fisher agreed. "Alien Ant Farm's remake shows there's something we're wanting to relive."
Alien Ant Farm recently remade Michael Jackson's late '80s dance jam "Smooth Criminal."
The self-proclaimed "King of Pop" Michael
"I love Madonna and Janet. I think that they are not afraid to change their style, and they are incredibly diverse.I think that they are classy divas altogether."
Allison Gabbard
Topeka junior
"I think that's because there were cooler things in the eighties. You actually got toys in the cereal box, the cartoons were better ... there was better commercialism in the '80's."
Jackson made a comeback himself recently, returning to his '80s sound on the hit single "You Rock My World." Unfortunately, the hit single did not translate into a smash album.
Sarina Fisher
Derby freshman
While many singers from the '80s are making comebacks, some never went away.
Sting, an '80s staple with both his solo work and as a member of rock group The Police, had his first hit single in years with the exotic "Desert Rose." Madonna and Janet Jackson, two dance divas who began their lucrative careers in the '80s, just had two of their biggest hit albums ever.
"I love Madonna and Janet," Gabbard said. "I think they are not afraid to change their style, and they are incredibly diverse. I think they are classy divas altogether."
And who can forget Kylie Minogue?
Well, most people. She is, however, on the charts for the first time since the '80s with the very retro-sounding "Can't Get You Out of My Head." Minogue originally had a hit remake of "The Locomotion" and a hit record with "I Should Be So Lucky" in the late '80s.
Even those who were big '80s singers but have decided to lay low are now writing for contemporary artists. One of last year's biggest hits was the 'N Sync ballad "This I Promise You." It was written by '80s hitmaker Richard Marx.
The excitement and nostalgia forsuch music has led producers into a mad scramble for more pics featuring the '80s music. Also in possible development are a set-in-the-'80s *Grease III* and a second edition of the '80s' tribute *The Wedding Singer*.
While the original Wedding Singer is probably the best known movie with an '80s theme up to this point, other films with '80s themes have done well. Not Another Teen Movie spoofs many teen films from the '80s, and the soundtrack features many '80s pop hits remade by contemporary singers.
Other '80s staples returning to action include polo shirts, Jean jackets, He-Man, Transformers and the mullet.
OK, so the mullet is not coming back. Some things should never return, even if they are from the 80s.

Ignore the guitar, appreciate a different tune
RAWK SNOB
COMMENTARY
Ask any Tom, Dick or Hard Rock Café marketing executive and they'll tell you that since its conception, the guitar has been the cornerstone of the sound and image of rock and roll. While the basic rock format of guitars and drums quickly grew to embrace a variety of tones and unlikely instrumentation, the guitar has remained the tool of choice on the strength of the fact that Pete Townshend can't windmill a French horn.
But this is 2002, and the time has come for us, the rock-loving community, to ask ourselves: Do chunky barre chords and white-hot guitar solos alone constitute a rock song? Certainly we have matured to the point where we can calmly sit back and appreciate the atonal beepings of a Powerbook and a drum machine, grinning and tapping our toes to beat the band.
Well, for those of you who hate the sound of that as much as I do, here are some recent albums by bands who, although they have turned their backs on the trusty guilt-fiddle, realize the
COMMENTARY

importance of turning their stacks of beat-to-death synthesizers and duct-taped organs up loud enough to shake the garage walls.
1. Add N to (X) — Add Insult to Injury, 2000. Expanding upon the mile-a-minute four-chord rave-ups of the '60s angriest garage bands, Add Insult to Injury thrives on fat, mangled organ riffs pushed along by nimble live drums. Like the impatient android counterpart of Strawberry Alarm Clock, the bass-heavy grooves are both sensuous and psychedelic, garnished by processed, robotic vocals and the sound of menacing,
barely audible killer bee dronings. With brilliant touches like sampled beatnik flute sputterings, Add N to (X) bring to mind the raucous, endearingly non-virtuoso aesthetic of rock's earlier days, only this time the guitars have been replaced with keyboards set for brainmelt.
2 Tracy + the Plastics - Muscle's Guide to Videonics, 2001. Toss this one on your home stereo, put on your skiniest tie and pretend the '90s never happened. Wynne Greenwood, the new wave performance artist who dons her alter-ego, Tracy, and performs live with two video-projected bandmates collectively known as the Plastics, has created a dance record that's just as enjoyable when you're sitting down. Unabashedly cheesy Casio synthesizer tones simmer and squirm over choppy, fake drums riddled with synthetic hand claps. Tracy's voice is sexy, breathy and desperate, reminiscent of a Double Fantasy-era Yoko Ono minus the primal yowling that earned the latter her often
fractured musical reputation.
3. I Am Spoonbender — Teletwin, 2000. Taking the band's name from noted Soviet psychic Uri Geller, whose telekinetic abilities reportedly enabled him to bend spoons with his mind, I Am Spoonbender metamorphosize from shoegazing mood-rock to straight-ahead punk aggression to just plain weirdness and back again, always keeping the keyboards central to the sound. Though the band sometimes slips into fully technified territory fully consisting of synthesized sounds, this EP's strongest tracks are those that include Dustin Donaldson's live drumming, which add a riveting energy to the driving, paranoid keyboard surges and Brian Jackson's gritty distorted bass lines.
The guitar always will be the undisputed weapon of choice in rock and roll, but even though it's more fun to watch someone grind an axe than tickle ivory, the proof is in the sound, and the sound is rockin'.

Good ball-handling vital for players, students alike
The members of the men's basketball team shouldn't be the only people on campus practicing their ball-handling skills.
Truly, men's balls — otherwise known to stuffy doctor types as testicles — are some of the most overlooked organs as far as sexual pleasure goes. But most men go ga-ga when you put their balls into play.
In fact, according to the Guide to Getting it On by Paul Joannides, good ball movement, which includes both manual and oh yeah - oral stimulation, can provide some crazy good times. In fact, some men like testicular attention as much as oral
action on their main member.
The thing is, many people are more comfortable playing with basketballs on a court than testicles in a bed. But, although basketballs are larger, orange and more often seen on television than their slightly more hairy cousins, there are striking similarities between being a good baller on the court and in the sack.
SEXCOLIMN
SEX COLUMN
First off, as with a basketball, it is important to get comfortable being around, and handling, balls. After all, how else can you become one with the ball
— or balls? Obviously, this is easier for men who have access to a pair of testicles constantly, than it is for women who must be content with borrowing a set—and the guy who comes with them—to practice their stroking or sucking skills.
Because of this, women can feel dumb, weird or even scared when first faced with the possibility of testicle manipulation — much like the anxiety faced by basketball players taking the court for a big game.
Meghan Bainum mbainum@kansan.com
punch or flick a basketball to get it down the court and into the basket successfully. Testicles, although able and ready to take some pretty hot and heavy stroking or sucking action, should also never be flicked, punched or kicked — unless your partner specifically asks for it.
Listening to your partner will be the best way to find out how to get his balls into play, but there are a few guidelines to help the first-time ball handler.
For instance, Jeff Boschee would never kick,
Just like on the court, different player positions can add variety to ball movement and may make scoring easier. Try getting your guy on his stomach and tickle his testicles from behind. If you're feeling really naughty, use sexual assistants like a feather, paint brush or even an ice cube. If you're interested in adding some ball-moving action into the main
sexual event, a good position is baller on top, cowgirl — or boy — style, facing your guy's feet. This position will definitely put his balls in your court.
And, like Kirk Hinrich roaring back from his ankle injury, don't be afraid to push things up a notch in your game. While licking or sucking on a basketball would do nothing besides make it wet, licking or sucking on your man's testicles, while making them wet, also will make him wild Try using a little tongue action on the underside of his scrotum, or sucking gently on a testicle — or two.
You might have to run through a few plays to get your mouth-and/or hand action to go smoothly, but good coaching by your partner and some long, steamy practice sessions will help improve your off-the-court ball movement.
Testicles, ignored by many as the penis's creepy friends, could be the key to taking sex, or masturbation, to the championship level—no trip to Atlanta required.
Cheating not acceptable act when you're in a relationship
E-mail Meghan at mbainum@kansan.com
With so many friends going out of town for spring break, Sunday served as a fun reunion for me, my roommate and our various friends. People were coming over and sharing the news about what they did with their time off.
One of my roommate's friends had what she deemed "spectacular" news about her time off. She shared with us how she had gained a newfound respect for her boyfriend. Her boyfriend, I should mention, took a spring break trip to the beaches of Mexico. He went with a couple of his other friends and was there to "just enjoy some time with the girls."
Evidently, the other guys were lacking in a certain department, that being the sexual one, and so the boyfriend went searching for a female friend to, um, ease his pain.
Since the woman telling the story spoke of her newfound respect for her boyfriend, I was expecting her to say that the guy turned away the woman he was with in Mexico
spoke up.
"Actually, I don't think you should respect him for that," she said. "In fact, I think you should tell him how bad you really think it is."
"But guys cheat, Allison," my roommate was told by the friend. "That's just the way it is. At least he's being honest about it."

spoke up.
because he realized he loved his girlfriend. But, nope. He did it with the woman in Mexico. Numerous times in fact.
I couldn't hold back anvmore.
James Manning imanning@kansan.com
"Are you serious?" I asked. "You really think all guys do this? And you're okay with it?"
After this was revealed, I had to interrupt.
He loves you so much he goes globe-trotting to get naked with other women, I thought. I was disgusted.
"So what's so %$&%# spectacular about this guy?" I asked. If my beloved was banging someone else, the last thing I'd be doing is bragging.
She probably could have just shut her mouth at that point and let her live with her little fantasy, but my roommate can be a pretty good friend. So she
"Well, that's good," my roommate initially lied. I could tell from the look on her face she thought the whole ordeal was just as screwed up as I did.
"Because he confessed to me," she said. "He loves me so much he just can't lie to me."
"Well, what am I supposed to do?" she asked
her. Being in a relationship is a commitment. It means making sacrifices. Sometimes these sacrifices are simple ones, like eating dinner with relatives you don't really like. Sometimes the sacrifices are larger, like not screwing around with a hot Mexican girl just because your girlfriend is far away and the juices are flowing.
This does not mean someone should not be forgiven if he (or she) screws up. Sometimes cheating can be an isolated incident caused by confusion or hurt. If the situation is assessed and the relationship can still be maintained post non-monogamy, then that is commendable.
Not commendable is thinking the cheating is okay or acceptable just because the person confesses to it right away. Even more sickening is dismissing it as a simple part of every relationship.
Yesterday my roommate got a call from her friend. Her friend was embarrassed because she had a sexually transmitted disease and didn't know where to get medication. Hmm, I wonder where she got it and I wonder what else she might get. But mostly, I wonder if she knows how unworthy of her this man is.

Foreign works offer both insight entertainment
By Adam Pracht
Kansan staff writer
It used to be that foreign films were the time during the Oscars when everyone would go to restock on crackers and cheese whiz.
But films like Life is Beautiful, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and, most recently, Amélie have started to catch the attention of audiences and critics alike.
Here are a few that have not received as much attention, but deserve recognition nonetheless.
Open Your Eyes
Movies
If you don't mind reading subtitles or losing something in the translation, foreign movies and foreign literature offer new perspectives and opportunities for entertainment.
While the Tom Cruise movie Vanilla Sky based on this Spanish film flopped in theaters, the original deserves a look. After the protagonist, César, suffers facial disfigurement in a serious car accident, he is thrown into a world where reality and personal fantasies are mixed, unable to be separated. An interesting new variation on the theme of The Matrix - reality is not as it appears.
The Seventh Seal and Persona
Directed by Swed Ingmar Bergman, these films are masters of contrast and imagery. Sure, it's sometimes hard to make out the subtitles against Bergman's vivid use of black and white, but it's worth the trouble to experience these classic films.
The Seventh Seal is set in the Middle Ages, during the time of the Black Plague. One knight returns from the Crusades to find his homeland in ruins. As he questions both life and God, Death appears to claim him, but the knight challenges Death to a game of chess to stav live until he can do one truly good thing.
Persona is another introspective story filled with symbolism. A chatty nurse named Alma is given charge of a famous actress, Elisabeth, who appears perfectly healthy but has not spoken for months. As Alma pours out her heart to the apparently attentive Elisabeth, she finds her own personality drawn into Elisabeth's. With its thought-provoking imagery and story line, Bergman's vision stands up to and deepens with repeated viewings.
Literature
Anything by Pablo Neruda
The San Francisco Examiner called Pablo Neruda's work as "sensual as a tropical night swirling in honeysuckle and jazz..." The Chilean poet, who is best known for his political poetry, uses his native language, Spanish, like a master sculptor. His vibrant imagery of nature and people makes one think that they are seeing and touching his subject.
Most of his best poems are available in bilingual editions, so you don't have to know Spanish to enjoy his work. However, if you know a little Spanish, it's better to read the original and avoid what's lost in the translation.
Among his best work is Sonnet XVII, found in 100 Love Sonnets, and "Tonight I Can Write..." from Twenty Love Poems. Both are intimate, the first speaking of perfect love and the second of love lost.
If On a Winter's Night a Traveler by Italo Calvino
While most authors choose to write in either first or third person, Calvino wrote his masterpiece in second person. This Italian author tells the story of how "you," the reader, has continual problems finishing books because of printing errors, stolen books and only partial copies. Between the story of "you," Calvino includes the fragments of the books you are reading, each with a different tone and feel. But If On a Winter's Night A Traveler is primarily a story about reading — what it means and how to experience it.

Bluegrass comeback comes to town
Convincing evidence shows that a small faction of Lawrence residents hold allegiance to Bill Monroe instead of James Naismith. Those who choose bluegrass instead of basketball will be treated to a wonderful event Saturday night when Tim O'Brien comes to town.
COMMENTARY
The Tim O'Brien Band plays Saturday night at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St. The show begins at 9 p.m. and tickets are $13.50 in advance, $15 at the door. The band is opening for the Yonder Mountain String Band.
COMMENTARY
Brad Weiner
bweiner@kansan.com
Tim O'Brien is one of the greatest bluegrass musicians touring today. He first gained recognition as the leader of the 80s' bluegrass combo Hot Rize. The band came from the hills outside of Boulder, Colo., and was at the forefront of a music scene that still continues to bustle with banjo picking more than 20 years later.
After the demise of Hot Rite, O'Brien set sail solo with a number of highly regarded projects like the mesmerizing bluegrass tribute to Bob Dylan entitled Red on Blonde and his internationally acclaimed Celtic and Irish compilation The Crossing. His most recent record Two Journeys is a follow-up with more Irish-inspired music including a heartfelt rendition of "Norwegian Wood" in which George Harrison's sitar is replaced with traditional Irish instruments like low whistle, fiddle and pipes.
The credit which has gained the most attention for O'Brien and bluegrass music in general is his vocals on the soundtrack to O Brother, Where Art Thou? The recording won a Grammy for the best album of the year and spawned an entire renaissance in roots and bluegrass music. O'Brien was modest about the record's success.
"It shocks people when there's a commercial success with bluegrass," O'Brien said. "I think the reason is that pop music is failing. It's been imitated and over imitated until there's nothing unique about it. Then you want to go back to something real. It turns out being roots music, bluegrass, blues. That stuff doesn't go away because it doesn't go out of style."
In addition to the more traditional bluegrass legends, there is a near glut of new bands who have long since dropped their amplifiers for a more acoustic approach. The Yonder Mountain String Band is leading that charge by bringing young, energetic crowds to the music scene. The concert on Saturday will serve as a bridge between old and new, a proposition that appeals to O'Brien. He recently produced the latest Yonder Mountain record Town by Town and plays mandolin, bazouki and fiddle on several tracks.
"They bring something to the music that is their own," O'Brien said of Yonder Mountain. "They have original songs that are really good and they are great entertainers. They put out a lot of energy onstage."
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
The compliments were mirrored by the younger band. Dave Johnston, banjo player for Yonder Mountain String Band, was excited to play live with Tim O'Brien.
Douglas Baldwin
Tim O'Brien and his bluegrass band will play in Lawrence Saturday night.
"He has been important to us because he plays the essentials of great music," Johnston said. "He brings this olde tym groeove to the music and is consistent in his playing. One of my favorites."
Saturday will be a historic day for our city. When the final buzzer sounds and the party gets started, there will be a wonderful musical opportunity to see two generations of bluegrass musicians play as well on stage, as our boys will on the court.

What to watch out for on the small screen
The Associated Press
Feeling guilty about watching too much TV and reading too few books? Take baby steps in the right direction this week with a show about great writers and another based on a great novel.
C-Span's American Writers history series examines the work of Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston, part of the cultural Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s, on Sunday from 2 to 3:30 p.m.
The program opens the second season of American Writers. It may just provide the inspiration to pick up a Hughes poetry anthology such as Montage of a Dream Deferred or the Hurston novel Their Eyes Were Watching God. And that's a good thing.
If tackling 19th-century novelist Anthony Trollope is a long-held ambition, consider starting with PBS' version of, a six-hour, four-week miniseries beginning Monday on Masterpiece Theatre

Lantana confronts the issue of deteriorating relationships of middle-aged couples by linking them together in a knotted detective mystery. The film opens with short glimpses into the personal lives of all the characters.
detective Leon Zat (Anthony LaPaglia) is having an affair with a woman from the tango class his wife, Sonja (Kerry Armstrong), is making him take. Sensing a problem in their relationship, Sonja begins talking through her emotions with her psychiatrist, Valerie Somers (Barbara Hershey).
Lantana also gives a provocative look into the things aging married couples do to hold their relationships together.
As twisted and sharp as the plant it's named after, Lantana gets to the root of what holds relationships together and what can tear them apart. In brief glimpses throughout the film, the lives of four married couples are brought to light exposing the intertwined mess of sex and grief that is ravaging their lives.

Georgia House includes grits as an official state food
ATLANTA—If all goes well for a Southern breakfast staple, grits will join the ranks of peanuts, peaches and Vidalia sweet onions as official foods of Georgia.
Some lawmakers complained that voting on a grits bill made it look as if the Legislature had nothing better to do. Others pointed out that grits weren't unique to Georgia.

Company offers 'adventures' via misprinted phone number
PITTSBURGH—A utility company that offers clean energy inadvertently referred customers to a service that's anything but clean.
Green Mountain Energy's toll-free number was misprinted in letters sent to 93,000 Pennsylvania customers, causing those who called to be directed to a phone-sex line. About 200 people trying to reach the utility company were greeted by a husky-voiced woman offering "adventures."
Customers won't be charged for the calls. The phone-sex line is a toll-free service that provides a directory to toll phone numbers.
Company officials are unsure how the mix-up happened. The letter was proofread and approved by company officials with the correct number, said John Holtz, spokesman for the Austin, Texas-based utility.
But when a printing company ran off the letters, the phone number was off by one digit. The company has sent customers letters with the correct number and an apology.
"There's nothing sinister behind it," Holtz said. "We believe it was a simple mistake."
Furniture maker constructs designer chairs for charity
DAYTON, Tenn. — The La-Z-Boy has gone haute couture.
Designers including Tommy Hilfiger, Nicole Miller, Todd Oldham and MoMo FaLana accepted an invitation by La-Z-Boy to give the staid recliner a fashion makeover to help raise money for charity.
Workers at the company factory here turned the designers' visions into furniture one upholstered in lingerie fabric and another in leopard-pattern leather.
Phat Farm's red, white and blue leather model with a farm graphic led the bidding at $910, while Miller's recliner — upholstered in leopard-print leather and featuring big, wooden, arched arms — got a bid of $860.
A "Yin Yang Recliner," created by the Falana design team with purple and blue satin accented by hand-carved wood feet and arms, brought a bid of $630.

The designer recliners are being offered for sale on eBay through April 24. Proceeds will benefit the New York-based Bailey House, which houses homeless people suffering from HIV or AIDS.

Dead can send one last e-mail
Knight Ridder-Tribune
You log on, planning to start the morning with a quick check of your e-mail.
A message pops up from Uncle Ernie. The same Uncle Ernie who died a month ago.
Your computer may be even slower than you thought. Or perhaps it's proof of an afterlife — with computer access and an e-mail account, no less.
Actually, Uncle Ernie had the foresight to subscribe to Timelessmail.com, an Ohio company that will send out e-mails for customers after they've been permanently deleted from among the living. Electronic last words, as it were.
For an annual fee ranging from $12 to $24, depending on the level of service, people can create up to 60 individual e-mails that each can go to as many as 25 recipients upon the client's death. The e-mails are filed away, waiting for the client to be called to the
great beyond. The account stays alive as long as the client is—and as long as you keep up your subscription. Once the client passes on, the messages are sent and the account is closed. The messages can be updated by the client at any time.
Timelessmail.com's message seems to have struck a chord — its Web site, www.timelessmail.com, had 102,714 hits in January alone. But it hasn't translated into a huge number of subscribers — there have been about only three dozen sign ups. Company officials suspect that's because customers are reluctant to provide their Social Security numbers, on which the service hinges.
The service was started in November by Robert Walker, who first envisioned the idea of sending such messages about three years ago, after the death of his father.
But nothing came of the idea until last spring, when Walker's boss at Walsh University in North
Canton, Ohio, died unexpectedly.
"It was just the concept of having someone disappear so suddenly. I decided I had to do something with this idea," he said.
He left his job as director of information systems at Walsh in mid-September and spent the next two months getting Timelessmail.com set up. He launched the service in November.
The trigger mechanism that gets the e-mails sent is a person's Social Security number. Timelessmail.com has hired a company that each month purchases from the Social Security Administration a list of people who have died. The list is compared to Timelessmail's clients, and if there's a match, Walker will recheck before hitting the send button.
"It's secured, it's guaranteed to be secured and confidential," he said.
'Kamasutra'retranslated
The Associated Press
LONDON — More than 1,700 years after it was completed by an enigmatic Indian scribe, the Kamasutra is among the most famous Hindu books ever written — and, many believe, the most misunderstood.
Most who have encountered the book recall it as a do-it-yourself sex manual, an eye-opening encyclopedia of acrobatic positions.

Academics hope a frank new translation will help the Kamasutra — which means "treatise on desire"
"It's by far the most complete and interesting work about sexual psychology that has been written — a cross between 'The Joy of Sex' and
'Lady Chatterly's Lover,'" said Wendy Doniger, who translated the book from the original Sanskrit with psychoanalyst Sudhir Kakar.
"The great misconception is that it is about the positions, which is the silliest part of the book, and a very short part of the book," she added.
Kamasutra was released today in Britain, and Oxford University Press will hit bookstores in the United States in June.
Written probably in 3rd-century Northern India by Vatsyayana Mallanaga, *Kamasutra catalogs sexual positions*, enumerates the varieties of kissing and expounds on the amorous role of scratching and biting.
But it also tells readers how to flirt, conduct a lovers' quarrel, seduce someone else's spouse and
blend potions to stimulate a sagging libido.
Doniger says the book's reputation has obscured its value as a work of literature. She says it can be read as a play in seven acts, following its male and female protagonists from seduction through separation, and as an idealized portrait of a sophisticated, monied society.
"Nooneinthis bookevergoestothe shop, one ever goes to see his mother. Allydo all day is plan for the night and get ready for it," she said, "It's like a Playboy Mansion life."
"It's an enormously complicated book on the psychology of sex, the psychology of erotic arousal."
And those illustrations — they were added much later.
"They're an afterthought," Doniger said. "A very famous afterthought."

Supermodel wins tabloid suit
The Associated Press
LONDON—A tabloid newspaper had the right to counter supermodel Naomi Campbell's untrue public claims that she had never abused drugs, but The Mirror went too far when it published a picture of her leaving a group therapy meeting, a judge ruled yesterday.
Justice Sir Michael Morland — who said the model had misrepresented herself to the press in the past and lied under oath — ruled that even celebrities who use the media to buff their own images are entitled to some privacy.
He awarded the 31-year-old, London-born model $5,000 in damages and told The Mirror newspaper to pay her court costs, reportedly about $285,000.
Campbell, who was not in London's High Court for the ruling, had sued MGN Ltd., publisher of The Mirror, for breach of
confidence and unlawful invasion of privacy after the tabloid published a photo of her leaving a Narcotics Anonymous meeting in London a year ago.
Her lawyer, Keith Schilling, said he had discussed the verdict with the model, who was in Los Angeles.
"She is naturally delighted with the decision," he said. "This is a landmark case — it establishes that anyone in the public eye, whether through choice or inadvertently, is entitled to protection for their private lives."
Mirror Editor Piers Morgan said the ruling was ridiculous and mocked the size of the damages.
"Supermodels don't even get out of bed for less than 10,000 pounds ($14,000), so she doesn't even have enough to pull back the covers." he said outside court.
Courts have been struggling to establish a consistent approach to privacy cases since the European Convention on Human Rights — which says individuals' private lives must be respected — became law in Britain last year.
Britain's aggressive tabloids are the frequent targets of celebrity lawsuits.
Morgan had told the court the newspaper took a sympathetic approach to Campbell's problem and said she was not entitled to the same privacy as ordinary people because she used the media to promote her image as a model and to discuss intimate details of her private life.
Defense lawyer Desmond Brown argued that Campbell's drug treatment would not damage her career.
Morland ruled Campbell had established the newspaper broke confidentiality and violated the Data Protection Act, which guards personal information.

Bacon bit scare causes disruption at ECM's Veggie Lunch
Veggie Lunch was disrupted Thursday when a shaker of bacon bits was sighted between bottles of salad dressing.
THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 2002
People in line for the lunch of rice, beans and salad were agast at the possibility of meat.
"I just gagged," said Jessica Thorn, Newton sophomore. "I haven't eaten meat in 14 months and now even the sight of it makes me sick."
and now even the sight of Thad Holcombe, minister at Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave., said it took all of his skill to return the lunch to normality.
"The bacon bits were actually soy-based," he said, "so there was no problem."
A closer inspection found that the bits were Ultra-Soy® Imitation Bacon Flavored analog products developed from a textured vegetable protein base to resemble crisp bits of smoked bacon. They are also available in beef, chicken pepperoni, taco and ham flavors.
The bacon bit debacle was not the first meat scare at Veggie Lunch.
seek a vengeful "We still don't know who brought the Chicken in a Bisket last week," Holcombe said. "That was a real breach of security."

Flippant questions about homework tire human sexuality professor
"These wise-ass kids think they're being so clever, like they've uncovered some comedic gem that every other student in my 23-year teaching career has missed — but they, with their Seinfeld-like abilities of observation have somehow managed to exploit for a cheap snicker," he said. "It's ridiculous and incredibly annoying."
William Engle, professor of human sexuality, expressed exasperation yesterday with what he called "unoriginal" student queries about the nature and frequency of homework assignments for his class.
Engle added that inquiries regarding "recommended reading," "in-class demonstrations," "group projects" and a "lab" also were unwelcome and not funny. Equally humorless, Engle said, were unsolicited and predictable student offers to bring to class "relevant videos" or to "tutor the hot girl in pink in the front row all night long, if necessary."
Bill Mayne, Topeka sophomore, disagreed with Enole's assessment.
"I thought it was pretty hilarious when my boy Johnny Knoffler asked Engle if he knew any connections for possible internship opportunities in the field," Mayne said. "But that's nothing compared to the other day in astronomy when he asked the TA, 'Could you show me Uranus?' I thought I was going to freakin' lose my shit."

Local surfers disappointed by waves at Wescoe Beach
AARON LEBNER/KANSAN
TOMMY
Melvin Navelslime, Iola sophomore, enjoys riding the asphalt and concrete waves at Wescoe Beach.
By Adrian Zink
Kansan satire writer
For area surfing enthusiasts such as Bradley Gowitzon, Irvine, Calif., freshman, Wescoe Beach is a far cry from the sunny beaches of his native southern California.
"When I was applying to KU, I asked if they had a beach nearby," he said. "They told me about this Wesco Beach, so I decided to come here."
The beach wasn't what Gowitzon expected.
"I mean, the babes and the rays are all right," he said, "but last time I tried to surf I got hit by a bus. It's ridiculous."
Though most surfers at Wescoe Beach prefer traditional beaches with things such as sand and water, a select few, such as Melvin Navelslime, Iola sophomore, have adapted to Wescoe's vices.
"There's a certain rush when surfing here that you can't get anywhere else," he said. "From the moment I push off at the cement until I'm riding the asphalt back to the beach, it's a thrill. Though once my shorts came off, and probably 7,000 people saw it. That was pretty embarrassing."
Most surfers don't feel the way that Navelslime does. A new group, Surfers For the Renaming of Wesco Beach, are upset about being sucked into KU by a bold-faced lie. They plan to unite with student mountain
climbing enthusiasts from around the country who were made to believe that Mt. Oread was "great for rappelling and mountainering."

Irritated dad turns car around
By Brad Weiner
Kansan satire writer
A
In a shocking series of events during spring break, a Lawrence father turned the car around after his children repeatedly quarreled in the back seat.
Sean Miller, 45, a Lawrence waffle iron inspector, warned his children "at least three times" to stop fighting. He said it was a grim and troubling day in their family history.
"The same fighting happens every time we take a road trip," he said. "This time, I was determined to stick to my guns. I told them and they still didn't listen. So I did it."
The move sparked uproar from agencies like AAA, The American Be Nice To Your Kids Foundation and the KU Green Party, whose members didn't have any particular allegiance to the issue but were determined to have their names in the paper.
have them in the paper.
Miller said the family was only 100 miles from their vacation spot in Branson, Mo., when he turned around the family's aging Dodge Aries station wagon.
"I even had tickets for a Dolly Parton impersonator," he said.
KIMBERLY THOMPSON/KANSAN
Miller said he did not regret his decision
Sean Miller, Lawrence father, gives a third and final warning to his children before turning the family car around during a spring break trip to Branson, Mo.
"In our world, kids need to respect their parents and I felt like this was the right thing to do," he said.
Miller's wife and children could not be reached for comment but are assumed to be pissed off.

Area business actually has good TV commercial
By Joe Stephenson Kansan satire writer
Other local businesses are in awe and local TV viewers are in shock. No other business in Lawrence has an ad on air that has not made viewers turn away in disgust.
Stan's Chicken Stand, 666 Wakarusa Drive, broke new ground in the local business community by airing a television commercial that was actually good.
The good qualities of the Stan's Chicken Stand ad were easily identified by Andrew Siv, ad specialist at Young and Rubicam, Kansas City, Mo.
"This ad informs the consumers about the product in a tidy manner without resorting to silly mimmicks or a cheesy shot of the owner," he said. "It may not be the best commercial I've ever seen, but it makes that chicken look so good."
Local business owners, even those who aren't in the chicken business, are baffled and a little upset at the new ad. Clint Madden, owner of Hot Coals Bar-B-Q, 4001 23rd St, is now considering pulling the ad he runs because he is so embarrassed by its low-brow quality.
He also doesn't want to have the worst commercials in town.
"Like most other business owners in Lawrence, I just went to an ad agency and told them to make me something cheap and dirty," he said. "I just wanted some on-air exposure. But I accepted the fact that, since this is Lawrence, the ad is going to really suck."
Brandon Brown, Leavenworth junior, watches eight to 10 hours of television a day and likes the Stan's ads.
"At least Stan's doesn't have bad acting, poor video quality or some stupid premise that's supposed to funny but isn't," he said. "Usually when I see a local commercial, I just want to throw a beer can or bowl of chips at the TV."

Hot Atlanta has lots to offer
The Final Four is not the only festivity duing the weekend
By Maggie Koerth Kansan staff writer
Kansas basketball fans traveling to Atlanta for this weekend's Final Four shouldn't have to sit in their hotel rooms between games.
Rachel Knighton, public relations representative for the Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau, said Atlanta had plenty of entertainment options for visitors.
Knighton said another attraction tourists should check out was Little Five Points, an area filled with second-hand stores, theaters and jewelry boutiques.
NCAA Hoop City, located near the Georgia Dome, will offer games and contests for fans throughout the tournament and will be open until 8 each night through Monday.
Knighton said fans looking for a taste of the hot Atlanta nightlife should check out an assortment of night clubs and bars in areas such as Buckhead and Midtown.
"There's a hamburger place there called Vortex that has a giant skull for an entranceway," she said. "They probably have the best burgers in Atlanta."
Knighton recommended several guides to Atlanta, such as Go Guides or Atlanta Now, available at information centers throughout the city.
there is no sales tax on clothes, personal computers and school supplies.
Knighton said visitors might want to do some shopping while in town for the games. It is the weekend of the Shop Georgia promotion, in which
Shop Georgia takes place twice each year in late March and early August.

Sarah Jackson, Abilene senior, doesn't plan on doing a lot of sightseeing during her tip to the Final Four.
Jackson said she and her friends were driving to Atlanta and wouldn't have time to stay very long.
"We're making a really quick run down and back," she said. "The drive is so long, and we'll need time to get back."
But students don't have to wait until they arrive in Atlanta to start having fun.
It's about 840 miles from Lawrence to Atlanta, a drive of nearly 14 hours.
Web sites like www.roadsideamerica.com have details on offbeat highway attractions.
On the way, fans can stop at a variety pet cemeteries, Missouri's Elvis Is Alive Museum or an Eiffel Tower replica in Tennessee.
Seth Smith, Wichita senior, said he was driving to Atlanta with friends and wouldn't be returning until Tuesday.
Smith attended the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta and said he had many ideas for how he and his friends could entertain themselves during the Final Four.
"I want to take them down to Little Five Points," he said. "It's kind of like Westport, it's really cool."

Williams urges students to party safely on campus
By Caroline Boyer Kansan staff writer
Men's basketball coach Roy Williams wants students to keep alcohol off campus when the Jayhawks play in the NCAA Final Four tomorrow night.
Roy's Rules of Order are featured in advertisements and public service announcements in which Williams thanks basketball fans and asks them to keep alcohol off campus when celebrating. "Let's show the nation that KU is a class-act on the court and off," Williams is quoted as saying in the advertisements. The message is being presented on television, in The University Daily Kansan, The Lawrence Journal-World and on a Web site linked in a mass campus e-mail sent to students. University Relations sponsored the ads Last night senior guard Jeff Boschee sent an e-mail to the student body encouraging students to celebrate responsibly and go to Memorial Stadium to watch the game.
"Fans have high expectations for the team, and likewise the University and coach have high expectations for the fans," said Todd Cohen, assistant director of University Relations.
Drew Thomas, a member of the Celebrations Task Force, which planned tomorrow night's event at the stadium, said senior forward Jeff Carey would send out an e-mail to all student e-mail addresses if the team advanced to the national championship game. Thomas said the e-mail would be similar to the ones sent by Williams and Boschee.
Thomas, who is also an off-campus student senator, said Student Senate was denied permission to post information

Lynn Prebble aims high, tries to climb Mt. Everestwith a group of five women
By Adam Pracht Kansan Staff writer
A University of Kansas graduate hopes to reach the pinnacle of her dreams this May.
Lynn Prebble's dream is 29,035 feet tall
Prebble, a 1974 University of Kansas graduate with degrees in physical therapy and allied health services, is one of a group of five trying to become the first all-woman American team to reach the summit of Mount Everest.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Prebble, 49, is director of physical therapy at the Colorado Mental Health Institute, Pueblo, Colo., and has lived in Canon City, Colo. for the last 25 years. For the climb, she will join Alison Levine, 35, of San Francisco; Marjorie Cross, 58, of Mazama, Wash.; Jody Thompson, 38, of Breckenridge, Colo., and Kimberly Clark, 34, of Denver.
"I've identified what's important to me," she said. "Mountaineering kind of pulls my soul. As I've gotten older, I've recognized the importance of doing what pulls you."
Each woman has overcome personal challenges to go on this expedition. Cross, 58, survived breast cancer and diabetes to make this attempt. If she reaches the summit, she'll become the oldest woman to climb Everest.
Ford Motor company is sponsoring the group, "Team No Boundaries."
The team left yesterday for Katmandu, Nepal, located near Everest.
1974 KU graduate Lynn Prebble practices maneuvering about while outfitted in the clothing and gear needed for serious mountain climbing. This May, Prebble will attempt to climb Mount Everest as part of the first all-woman American team.
The team will spend April moving gear and acclimatizing to the extreme conditions of the Himalayas. Without proper acclimation to the thin air, people can develop Acute Mountain Sickness, which can lead to death. About 30 to 40 percent of trekkers at high altitudes get some form of AMS.
Prebble said she began to climb mountains through her interest in

Through a blitz of colored stickers, a recommendation for a $43 million tuition increase to be shouldered by students emerged during a meeting of the ad hoc committee on university funding yesterday.
By Erin Adamson Kansan senior staff writer
The voting members of the committee scrambled around as they voted with their stickers to prioritize investments of student tuition dollars. Blue stickers indicated high priority, red stickers medium priority, yellow stickers low priority.
The committee will recommend that Chancellor Hemenway ask the Board of Regents for a $43 million increase in tuition during the next five years. University officials want to increase the University budget by $50 million to keep pace with peer universities.
The ad hoc committee on university funding, a group of students, faculty and administrators, had previously voted to endorse a $50 million tuition increase, but rescinded that vote yesterday.
Among the issues identified as most important were student financial aid, increased salaries for graduate teaching assistants, non-faculty salaries, online enrollment, minority recruitment and improved teaching facilities.
The item with the most yellow stickers ended up being faculty salaries.
"It's not a low priority, but it's not appropriate use for tuition money," said Kathy Jansen, classified staff representative. "I don't know that faculty don't need more money, but I don't think students should necessarily pay for it."
Provost David Shulenburger, who is not a voting member of the committee, said that faculty-salary increases were not a priority for now while the University waited to see how much money the
INSIDETODAY
Kansas Legislature would contribute through Senate Bill 345.
The University could receive up to $7 million during the next two years through the bill, which allocates money for faculty salaries, Shulenburger said.
Jamel Bell, graduate representative,
said the students shouldn't shoulder more than a $40 million increase, which would be a tuition increase of 100 percent.
"$40 million is a serious effort," Bell said. "We're not doing all we can to close the gap, because if we were, we'd propose $56.2 million."
Even with a $50 million tuition increase, the University will not entirely catch up with the funding of peer universities because the University has fallen further behind during the year.
WORLD NEWS ... 8A
SPORTS ... 12A
WEATHER ... 10A
CROSSWORD ... 10A
Other committee members wanted a recommendation of $50 million to move the University as close to filling the gap as possible.
The University wants to raise tuition partly in response to a projected $680 million Kansas state budget shortfall for fiscal year 2003.
If the state does contribute $7 million through Senate Bill 345, the University would be $43 million short of filling its tareeted funding gap.
The committee will prepare a report for Chancellor Hemenway to consider for the Regents. The committee will meet again April 8.

Sexual battery reported in Lewis Hall Wednesday
After a sexual battery Wednesday, the University of Kansas Public Safety Office has issued a crime alert, said Lt. Schuyler Bailey.
At 4:19 a.m. Wednesday, an unknown man walked into a room in Lewis Hall and touched the buttocks of a sleeping male, Bailey said.
"Anytime a person is touched like that, it is a sexual battery," Bailey said.
The suspect is described as a white male with a medium build. He is approximately 6 feet tall with short dark hair. He was wearing a blue sweatshirt, dark shorts and white socks with no shoes.
The KU Public Safety Office asked that students with any information contact the office at 864-5900 or KU Crimes Stoppers at 864-8888.
Legendary director dies
The Associated Press
-Jessica Tims
LOS ANGELES — Oscar-winning filmmaker Billy Wilder, the Austrianborn cynic whose gifts for writing and directing led to such classics as Sunset Boulevard, Some Like It Hot and Double Indemnity, has died, a family friend said yesterday. He was 95.
He was born Samuel Wilder on June 22, 1906, in the small town of Sucha, 100 miles east of Vienna. The boy attended theaters that played American films, and admired early stars like William S. Hart and Tom Mix.
Wilder's screenwriting career flourished until 1933, when Hitler captured power in Germany. Wilder, a Jew, fled to Paris. His mother, grandmother and
Wilder died Wednesday night at his home, said George Schlatter, a producer and longtime friend. Schlatter said his friend of 40 years had been in failing health in recent months and he believed Wilder had been suffering from a bout with pneumonia.
stepfather died at Auschwitz.
He co-directed a film with Danielle Darrieux, and then left for America after receiving an offer to write scripts for Columbia Pictures at $150 a week.
As co-writer, director and producer of the 1960 film "The Apartment," Wilder collected three Oscars, the only person to do so for one film. Among his other classics: Double Indemnity, Stag 17, The Lost Weekend, The Seven Year Itch, and Witness for the Prosecution.
"He's the idol of almost every other director who's come along," said Dale Olson, a longtime Hollywood publicist.
Wilder was also noted as one of Hollywood's best wits. He once remarked of postwar France: "It's a country where you can't tear the toilet paper but the currency crumbles in your hands." William Holden said Wilder had "a mind full of razor blades."
His films were notable for their clever dialogue and an overlay of cynicism and betrayal.

Study defines men's sexual habits
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN - 3A
By Summer Lewis Kansan staff writer
Most men take about an hour to prepare for sex once it crosses their minds.
According to a new survey, men spend 54 minutes from the time they have first thought about sex with their partner to actually having sex.
Pfizer Inc., the makers of Viagra, conducted the survey last month. According to Pfizer, Viagra, a pill prescribed to help men develop and keep an erection long enough for sex, has to be taken an hour before sex.
Researchers surveyed about 1,500 men and found that men typically ponder the idea of having sex
for about 28 minutes before they make the decision to go for it. Once they have decided it seems like the thing to do, it takes them another 14
minutes to actually start foreplay. Foreplay lasts 12 to 14 minutes before it is taken to the next level, according to the survey.
Adam Martin, Stillwell freshman.
friends and 1, I agree that it takes around 15 minutes to get through forenlav," he said.
Andrew Martin, Riverton senior
"From the talk between all of my friends and I, I agree that it takes around 15 minutes to get through
foreplay."
said that he agreed that it took about 54 minutes for sex to occur after the initial thought.
Adam Martin
Stilwell freshman
said that it seemed to take a little less than an hour from the moment of se x u a l thoughts to the actual act of sex.
"I think that it probably takes
about 15 minutes to convince a partner," he said. "It seems to end up taking about 54 minutes."
Dennis Karpowitz, associate professor of psychology, said that not every sexual thought led to action in 54 minutes.
Karpowitz said that the time involved in a lot of sexual activity had to do with the games that people play with one another.
"There have been several studies and books done on this topic," he said. "One book discusses a game called' gotcha.' A person encourages another to become more intimate and then they just push them away. People play games with one another, and this takes time."

Options abound for local yoga connoisseurs of all ages
By Lauren Beatty Kansan staff writer
Anne Evans doesn't begin her classes by taking attendance or collecting homework, but by asking students to become warm.
Evans, who teaches all four yoga classes offered at the University of Kansas, said the type of yoga she teaches is primarily for exercise and stress management.
"Each class is different," she said. "People can choose which type is best for their lifestyle. They should do whatever they want because then they learn practice is the teacher."
She said many different methods of yoga existed, but her method included stretching and visualization exercises.
"Visualization involves visualizing light because if you put light on anything, you get a better understanding of what it is," she said.
Evans began teaching yoga in 1977, when it was not as popular as it is today. She said there were about 30 students in each of her classes, which are held Mondays and Wednesdays.
"It's much more popular now because there used to be so much mystery surrounding it," she said. "Now people are understanding it, as a relaxation technique."
She said some people often mistake yoga for a religion.
"Yoga is for everyone if they want to do it." Evans said.
Robinson Center offers free yoga classes at 7 a.m. Wednesday and Thursday and 5:30 p.m. Monday and Tuesday.
The Yoga Center of Lawrence, 920 Massachusetts St., Suite 4, began its spring session Monday.
Christy Rosenberger, Springfield, Mo., senior, started her first yoga class yesterday at the center.
"I wanted to try it for a long time, and I finally said, 'This time I'll do it.'" she said.
Rosenberger said she chose to take yoga at the center instead of at the University because she wanted to do it on her own time.
Lawrence Parks and Recreation also offers beginning and intermediate yoga classes for six- or eight-week sessions. Monday and Tuesday evening classes are sponsored through the Lawrence Arts Center.

Teachers use personal funds to aid classes
By Leah Shaffer Kansan staff writer
Education majors may not go into teaching for the money, but a recent study shows that the profession can actually take money out of their pockets.
The study by Quality Education Data found that teachers of preschool through high school spend an average of $589 of their own money on school supplies each year.
"It doesn't surprise me that they spend that much," said Kristina Nelson, Minneapolis, Kan., senior in the School of Education. Nelson, who works at the Children's Learning Center, 205 N. Michigan St., in Lawrence, said teachers would spend their own money as needed.
"I work with kids that are poor," Nelson said.
"It's not really a possibility to ask parents to fund supplies, so teachers will use their own money."
Flora Wyatt, director of the KU Professional Development School Alliance said that how much money teachers spent out of their own pockets depended on the school district. Some schools can order what they need while others might have to raise money.
Wyatt said that when teachers do use their own money, they tend to buy an object that could be used again and again.
"Most of the time they buy things that would enhance some project." Wyatt said.
Randy Holt, Belleville senior in education and president of the School of Education Student Organization, said that teachers shouldn't have to spend their own money to make up for the lack of funds.
"We need to stand up for this and not accept the situation." Holt said.
According to the National Education Association, the average Kansas teacher's salary is $36,292, which is about $5,500 less than the national average. The state also is facing possible budget cuts in education.
The amount of money spent by teachers surprised Carlisha Bell, a Wichita graduate student in education who is interning at Central Junior High, 1400 Massachusetts St. Bell said that the Lawrence schools were good at ensuring that teachers received what they needed.She said the low salary for teachers and the amount of money they spent did not affect her decision to go into teaching.
"It's not a big issue for me. For my lifestyle, it's enough money," Bell said.

I think it's really amusing, because they say they're doing this E-passport stuff for our convenience when in reality shouldn't be more conducive if they were doing this to save money. Why do they have to save money? Oh yeah, the Board of Regents had that 15 percent pay raise over the summer. Oh yeah, forgot about that one. Thanks guys.

Possible benefits of medicinal marijuana shouldn't be abandoned or ignored
Nine months ago, the United States Supreme Court decided in a unanimous 8-0 vote that the medicinal use of marijuana is illegal.
GUEST COMMENTARY
Technically, it determined that there wasn't a "medical necessity" exception for marijuana within the Controlled Substance Act. In fact, the Act specifically states that marijuana is a drug with absolutely no medicinal value whatsoever.
It's hard to find many instances in U.S. history where every member of the Supreme Court has agreed on an issue. It's even harder to find one where every member of the Supreme Court was absolutely wrong in his or her decision. One can hardly blame them for the outcome though. It wasn't difficult for the Rehnquist court to interpret a statute written that plainly.
GUEST COMMENTARY
The fault for this decision lies in the lawmakers of the land who seem to view the use of marijuana for any purpose as unquestionably evil for no other reason than they've decided that it's unquestionably evil.
Dan Osman
opinion@kansan.com
But the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes has so many benefits, the only thing evil in this equation is the perpetual ignorance of those in charge who continue to advocate its ban.
It should be a reasonable assumption that doctors do what's in the best interest of their patients. If given the choice, most would naturally prescribe the most reliable drugs available to help their patients.
Terminally ill cancer patients, AIDS sufferers, people with glaucoma and many more can all use marijuana to help ease the pain. Doctors understand this and thus, doctors wish to prescribe marijuana.
If the issue is that marijuana hasn't been effectively proven as "medically necessary," then the solution isn't to abandon the drug. The solution is to test that drug and determine its capabilities by fully exploring its medicinal uses. The Controlled Substance Act allows for marijuana to be tested through government-sponsored programs.
The reality of the situation is that this very rarely happens. In 1999 there were only four federally funded research projects working with a total budget of a mere $1 million, according to the National Institute of Drug Abuse. But even that was too much for the government. According to the American Medical Association, there are currently no federally funded research projects on the medicinal use of marijuana. Zero.
It makes sense, in a bizarre way. Why would a government care about the research of a drug it has no intention of legalizing? Why would a drug company, even after being granted approval, ever waste money and resources exploring the uses of a drug they can't ever produce and distribute?
They know it's illegal. They know that it will continue to be illegal. To them, funding research
is money down the drain.
One of the big arguments against legalization of medicinal marijuana concerns the distribution of it. How can we trust doctors to prescribe it only to people who need it and not to anyone who walks through their doors? This argument is, to put it bluntly, positively ridiculous.
We trust medical practitioners to prescribe steroids, painkillers and antidepressants on a daily basis. We allow them to use their judgment in giving out drugs far more potent than marijuana is.
In each case there are people out there addicted to that drug that will do anything in their power to get another dose from their doctor and yet it still appears as if doctors are an excellent gatekeeper.
What's needed is more research projects and more funding for those research projects. After that, the FDA may change this drug from schedule I to schedule II. Likewise, Congress can amend the laws within the Controlled Substance Act. Already, members of Congress, such as Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis), support the legalization of medical marijuana and are actively fighting for a change.
It will be a long and involved process, but I believe it to be worth the effort. Set aside any moral objections to the idea of smoking weed and look at the issue objectively.
We're talking about easing pain and saving lives. I can't understand how anyone can be against that.
Osman is a first year law student from Prairie Village.

Queers and Allies perpetuates myths, stereotyping of gays on campus
For the purpose of this column, and in order to be taken seriously, it is best if I admit upfront that I am gay.
GUEST COMMENTARY
Gay men aren't all the same, as Queers and Allies would have you believe.
---
Earlier this semester, Student Senate denied money the blood drive because of its "discriminatory" policy regarding gay male blood donation. The rule states that one cannot donate blood if he has had sex with another male anytime since 1977.
Shaun Bryant opinion@kansan.com
But I donated blood. I donated blood last September, too. I didn't write a self-pitying editorial for submission in the Kansan about how the rule isn't fair. And I surely didn't protest the blood drive as others did. I'll tell you what I did. I lied. And I think that solution is far more intelligent than any other option.
Ultimately, the purpose of the protest was to stress equal treatment of gay and straight people. The protest was counter-productive. As a result of the protest, some people around campus did indeed view homosexuals differently. The view: The protestors ruined the otherwise positive blood drive.
One week in October is "National Coming Out Week." Last semester, Queers and Allies held a drag show to raise funds for future activities. Two days later, the drag show received a front page article in the Kansan, accompanied
by a huge picture of the organization's president dressed as a woman.
Once again, Queers & Allies forced straight people to stereotype me. Those images made straight people believe that one. I like to watch men dressed up as women lip-synch to Cher and Britney Spears, and two, I would rather be a woman than a man. Once again, I don't appreciate either of those labels. I abhor drag shows, and I've never wanted to be a woman.
Over the years, brainless actions such as those of Queers and Allies have earned homosexuals many stereotypes. Yet they don't apply to me. My wrists don't fling around like spaghetti. I don't have sex with a different guy every night (only one in the past year). I believe in God. I'm in a pot for the NCAA
17
Tournament, and I watch every game. I loathe Broadway.I think anal sex is disgusting.I love football and NASCAR.And I don't have AIDS.
Now Queers and Allies is planning Pride Week, which will earn me more labels, including that I have a rainbow sticker on my car, that I want everyone to know that I am gay, and that being gay is my life. None of which is true.
Straight people don't accept us sometimes. But did you ever stop to think why that is? It's because the most stereotypical gay people are the loudest, and that causes everyone to think that all gay people are the same. We're not.
Being gay hasn't been a horrible experience for me, because being gay hasn't been my life. I didn't choose homosexuality, but I put up with its consequences, including my roommate moving next door when he found out.
The point is that I'm normal. And everyone would treat me as such if they weren't misled by the overwhelming, self-pitying gay population. If I need to raise money, I don't host or participate in drag shows. I sell lemonade.

Custodian retires after four decades of work at University
By Melissa Shuman Kansan staff writer
James Lewis, an unsung hero of Marvin Hall, is retiring today after 41 years of service as a custodian at the University.
"I if had to do it all over again, I would." Lewis said.
He was honored yesterday at a retirement party at 1043 Indiana St. where Hank Louisa, associate director of housekeeping, presented him with a picture of campus.
"Each of us have opportunities every day to let someone know we respect and support them," Louisa said, "We appreciate you, Jim Lewis"
Lewis has been working at Marvin Hall for several years, but he has been a custodian in many buildings around campus.
He gets to work at 5:30 in the morning and works until 1:30 p.m.
Lewis started his job at the University on Oct. 25, 1960. He said he saw an ad in the newspaper for jobs at the University and decided to come and work in housekeeping.
The starting salary for a custodian in 1960 was $1,980 per year, said Sonia Farmer, housekeeping receptionist.
Lewis grew up in Manhattan. He left when he was a junior in high school to join the U.S. Navy in 1940.
He served in the Navy for about 41/2 years. He worked as a deck hand and traveled extensively before returning home to Kansas.
After being released from his service in the Navy, he moved to

Pittsburg.
Before coming to the University, he was also employed at a bar in Pittsburg.
Cindy Muckey is a micro-computer systems technician at Marvin Hall.
"It's a really tough job keeping this building clean; architecture students are here twenty-four hours a day and they are more concerned with their projects than keeping things clean," Muckey said.
She said housekeeping didn't always get the recognition they deserved from faculty and students.
The Marvin Hall faculty will have another retirement party for Lewis at 10 a.m. today in the jury

backpacking after she moved to Colorado. Her first mountain was Mt. Yale in Colorado.
Since then, she has added Grand Teton in Wyoming, Mount Blanc in France and the Matterhorn in Switzerland to her list of accomplishments. In May of last year, she went to the top of Cno Oyu, a 26,905 foot peak within view of Everest.
During the last 20 years, Preb.
ble has encouraged women who usually don't explore nature to expand their own boundary through Women's Backpacks, a program that organizes yearly climbing trips.
"A lot of times, I think what limits you is what you think you can't do," she said. "Think of what you can do."
Prebble said she trained for Everest for more than two years. She practiced climbing while wearing 50 percent of her body weight, camped on the top of
14,000-foot peaks to get used to the altitude and did strength training and aerobics, including hour runs at 9,000 feet.
But Everest presents major challenges for Prebble, even with training. She will have to battle hypothermia and frost bite, bitter weather conditions and the possibility of falling ice.
Since 1973, 143 people have died on Everest, while 1,468 have made successful summits.
Prebble's mother, Marty Hartwell, of Wichita, said she
was proud of her daughter but was worried for her health and safety.
"I just want her to come back without losing a lot of toes and fingers and in one piece," she said.
Hartwell said that they would keep in touch during the expedition through e-mail and phone. Those who want to follow the team's progress may do so through www.fordvehicles.com and clicking the "Expedition on Everest" link.
Prebble's brother, Rick
Hartwell, said that he went climbing with Prebble until back arthritis prevented him. He said Prebble helped him realize that there were still ways he could challenge himself, even though he was limited. He said he calls her his hero.
"She's just an inspirational person," he said. "You just look at her goals and accomplishments and it's just hard to look at someone like that and not say, 'Yeah, I can do that too.'"
"A lot of times, I think what limits you is what you think you can't do. Think of what you can do."

Kansas radio stations switch to Spanish
The Associated Press
WICHITA — Wichita's growing Hispanic population has inspired a country music radio station to switch its format to an all-Spanish station.
On Saturday, KYQQ-FM 106.5 in Wichita will begin broadcasting in Spanish as "La Maquina Musical," or The Music Machine.
Chris Crawford, vice president and general manager for the six Wichita radio stations owned by Journal Broadcast Group of
Milwaukee, said the company felt this was a community growing quickly that was not being served.
The station's music will be provided by a California-based network, but there will be local news and weather reports. Crawford said he expected the station to have a local, on-air morning show within 30 days and possibly an afternoon show within 60 to 90 days.
Sedgwick County's Hispanic population has more than doubled, from 17,435 in 1990 to
36,397 in 2000, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Statewide, the Hispanic population also more than doubled during the decade, increasing from 93,670 to 188,252.
Harriet Lange, president and executive director of the Kansas Association of Broadcasters, said there were at least half a dozen full-time Spanish radio stations in the state, including KTCM-FM 100.3, which broadcasts out of Kingman.
"I've seen a change in Kansas over the last five to eight years."
she said. "There's an audience out there, otherwise they wouldn't be doing it."
Jamie Lopez, president of the Hispanic/Native American Coalition and board chairman for the Kansas Advisory Committee on Hispanic Affairs, said many Hispanics, especially newcomers who may still be learning English, prefer to listen to allSpanish music, and news and businesses are recognizing that.

Graves won't travel to watch 'Hawks game
The Associated Press
Spokesman Don Brown said yesterday that logistics and family commitments would keep Graves close to home tomorrow when Kansas plays Maryland in a semifinal game of the men's college basketball tournament.
TOPEKA — Gov. Bill Graves will be rooting for the Kansas Jayhawks from afar this weekend, having decided not to make the trip to the NCAA Final Four in Atlanta.
Brown also said it was unlikely that Graves would attend the championship game on Monday, should Kansas advance.
Graves had traveled to St. Louis to watch the Jayhawks play Holy Cross in the tournament's first round March 14.
He traveled by state plane, but used his own money to pay for the $50 tickets. Brown estimated the cost to the state to fly the governor to St. Louis at $700.
Some legislators complained then that Graves was making frivolous use of state resources while the state deals with a projected $700 million budget shortfall.
"Those who would try to play a few hundred dollars of official travel versus a $700 million shortfall should spend more time on the making of the budget."

"Those who would try to play a few hundred dollars of official travel versus a $700 million shortfall should spend more time on the making of the budget," Brown said.
Graves, a 1976 graduate of Kansas Wesleyan University in Salina, has traveled many times as governor to watch Kansas and Kansas State athletic teams compete on the national level.
Judge closes court as Robinson trial nears
The Associated Press
Video cameras and audio recorders will not be allowed in the courtroom during a hearing to determine whether evidence should be suppressed in the case of accused serial killer John E. Robinson Sr., a judge ruled yesterday.
Johnson County District Court Judge John Anderson III issued his order regarding the April 1 hearing in Olathe, at which attorneys will argue whether certain evidence should be included when Robinson is tried later this year.
Anderson said his ban on the devices would continue at least through jury selection. Anderson kept his options open for the trial.
Robinson, 58, of Olathe, is scheduled for trial in September on capital murder charges in the deaths of two women whose bodies were found in June 2000 in metal barrels on property he owned in Linn County. He also is charged with first-degree murder in the death
of another woman who disappeared in 1985 and whose body has not been found.
After the Kansas case is completed, prosecutors in Missouri plan to try Robinson on charges of killing three women whose bodies were found in barrels in Cass County.
Ron Keefover, spokesman for the state court system in Topeka, said Anderson acted on his own in issuing the order. Further, Keefover knew of no pending challenges to the order.
During the April hearing, Anderson must rule whether evidence found during the search that turned up the bodies at Robinson's Linn County farm should be thrown out.
The defense claims the search that turned up the evidence was conducted under an illegally obtained warrant.
Anderson has already ruled against a change of venue sought by the defense.

Gas prices rise sharply, still expected to increase
The Associated Press
SAN DIEGO — Drivers across the nation are digging deeper into their wallets to cover rising gasoline prices, which have leapt an average of 23 cents per gallon over the last month — the most dramatic change in more than a decade.
"It hits the pocket book," 36-year-old Cindy Trujillo said as she pumped gas yesterday in Denver, adding she recently switched from a pickup truck to a fuel-friendly Geo Metro.
“$20 to $10 makes a big difference.”
The jump to yesterday's national average of $1.35 for unleaded, according to a AAA survey, is fueled by a combination of factors.
Analysts say a recent decision by OPEC and other oil producers to hold down production, and the traditional spring rise in demand as driving time increases with the warming weather have shaped prices.
The four-week leap is the sharpest seen by the Energy Information Administration, the statistical branch of the Department of Energy, since it began keeping records in 1990.
Part of the reason is that gas prices fell to bargain levels — below $1 a gallon in some areas — in the wake of the Sept. 11 terror attacks, which hampered travel and slowed the economy.
"Now that the economy has started to recover, and we're starting to head into the summer driving season, the industry is really having to come from behind a little bit," AAA spokesman Geoff Sundstrom said in Orlando, Fla.
Prices still are below the average of March 2001, when it was $1.43 due largely to the then-strong economy.
"It went down so low, we had a
bonus there for awhile," said Vesper Gibbs Barnes, a Boston attorney who dropped her car off at a Mobile station. "I guess I'll keep driving everywhere. I have to deal with it."
Crude oil prices have risen to about $25 a gallon since December, when OPEC decided the $20 a barrel they were earning then was too low, said Douglas MacIntyre, senior oil market analyst with the Energy Information Administration in Washington.
Every $1 increase in the price of a barrel of crude oil translates into a per-gallon hike of about 2.5 cents, he said.
Based on current trends, motorists should expect to see per-gallon prices rise another 5 cents to 15 cents over the next several weeks, he said.
Californians, who shoulder the added costs of reformulated gasoline mandated by pollution restrictions, are facing the highest prices in the continental United States.
Bay Area motorists have seen average prices rise to $1.68 from $1.42 a month ago.
Lisa Alcantara of Pacifica pumped $1.89-per-gallon premium into her Lexus SUV in San Francisco.
"It's crazy," she said. "I just have to get in my car and go and not think about it. ... There is not a whole lot you can do. We all need gas."
David Underwood, an Atlanta electrician who puts about 24,000 miles a year on his pickup truck, passes the added costs on to his customers.
"It seems like it was less than a dollar a gallon not that long ago," he said. "It seems like it's gone up real fast."
"It's very difficult for us," Yellow Cab General Manager Rebecca Escobar said in El Paso. Rising prices "cut directly into their gross profit."
But cab drivers in many areas are unable to pass on the costs due to government control of their rates.
Said one San Diego taxi driver who gave only his last name, Contreras: "$5 less for me is five less hamburgers for my kids."
How far prices will climb exactly is uncertain, said Carol Thorp, spokeswoman for the Auto Club of Southern California. Perhaps Americans who canceled travel plans last year due to high gas prices or Sept. 11 will feel the urge to hit the highways this year she noted.
"This summer is a question mark at the moment," Thorp said. "Anyone who tells you they can predict that is not correct."
John Young of St. Louis grumbled about the climbing prices as he filled up his minivan in Chicago after a family vacation trip.
"It's outrageous," Young said. "If you look at the price of wholesale gas, it's pretty much stayed the same. It's all obviously to take advantage of spring break."
The price hike had commuters in warm locales looking to more fuel-efficient alternatives.
Antonio Solares, 26, has to fill up his 1995 Ford Escort every other day for the commute between his home in Tijuana, Mexico, and his job in northern San Diego.
"I'm thinking of getting a motorcycle — seriously," Solares said at a gas station near the border.
But in Miami, William Morales was unfazed as his pumped $1 of gas into his scooter.
"They can raise the price 200 times, and it doesn't matter to me," he said. "This doesn't bother me at all."
BOSTON — A Delta Air Lines flight from Boston to Florida was aborted before takeoff yesterday after a passenger demanded to be let out and allegedly made a threat.
The Associated Press
Plane threats test security
The plane was on the runway and was supposed to head to Orlando, Fla. Instead, it taxied back to the terminal area and its 118 passengers were taken off the plane.
Richard Lamberttsen, 49, of Cocoa, Fla., was charged with interference with a flight crew, state police Sgt. Edward Principe said.
"It it was not a bomb threat," Orlandella said. "He did not have a weapon. He did not say
"He made inappropriate remarks that alarmed the captain of the plane," said Phil Orlandella, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Port Authority, which runs Logan airport. He did not elaborate on the threat.
he was going to blow up the plane."
Luggage was rescreened and the aircraft was checked. The Delta Express plane left about three hours late.
Security has been an issue at Logan since it was the starting point for the two hijacked airliners that destroyed the World Trade Center on Sept. 11.
In a separate incident, a Virgin Atlantic flight attendant was ordered held on $250,000 bail yesterday for allegedly writing a bomb threat aboard a plane in January, forcing the London-to-Orlando flight to be diverted to Iceland.
Michael Philippe, a 25-year-old French citizen, was arrested Wednesday in New Jersey and charged with interference with crew members on an international flight. He faces up to 20 years in prison if found guilty.
During a court appearance in Newark, prosecutors gave no motive for his actions, and his
defense lawyer, David Holman, refused to discuss the case with reporters.
On Jan. 19, Virgin Atlantic Flight 27 was en route to Florida when the message, "American must die," was found on a bathroom mirror written in soap, officials said.
A second message, written on an air sickness bag, stated, "Ben Laden is the best Americans must die there is a bomb on board Al Qaida."
Philippe reported finding the threats, authorities said.
The Boeing 747 was diverted to Keflavik, Iceland, where the 322 passengers and 18 crew were questioned and asked to give handwriting samples. The plane finished the flight the next day.
Virgin Atlantic Airways said yesterday that Philippe is a French national who has been with the airline two years and had passed the airline's background checks.
Plane crashes near Seattle
The Associated Press
SEATTLE — A vintage passenger plane owned by the Smithsonian Institution crashlanded in Puget Sound near Seattle shortly after takeoff yesterday. All four people aboard were rescued safely.
The only Boeing 307 Stratoliner still in existence came down at about 1:15 p.m. near the shore of West Seattle, across Elliott Bay from downtown. It landed in the water near a barge and a waterside restaurant.
wings underwater and its tail in the air.
Coast Guard Petty Officer Aida Cabrera said those on the plane were taken to a nearby boat launch and appeared to be in good condition.
The plane began to sink, then rescue boats attached a line and pulled it near the shore. It came to rest with its nose and
Bob Horton heard the plane's engines sputter and he and wife Cathy went to the deck of their home to watch.
"At one point we were wonderl if he was going to get us," Bob Horton said. "He was sputtering and kept getting lower."
They saw the plane turning toward land with its landing gear down.
The four-engine plane hit the water with an enormous splash.
The plane had left Boeing Field-King County International Airport at 12:30 p.m. Acting airport manager Mike Colmant could not immediately confirm where it was headed or when it was scheduled to return.
Officials at Seattle's Museum of Flight identified the plane as a 1940s-era Stratoliner, the first
commercial plane with a pressurized cabin. It can hold 33 passengers and a crew of five.
The plane was based on the airframe and wings of the World War II B-17 Flying Fortress, but there was no market for the aircraft during the war immediately afterward. Only 10 were built.
Boeing employees came across the plane at the Pima Air Museum in Tucson, Ariz., and the company offered to restore it. Boeing flew it back to Seattle in June 1994, and after six years of work, it was rolled out of the factory last summer.
It was to be the centerpiece of the new Smithsonian museum scheduled to open at Washington Dulles International Airport in 2003. The plane is owned by the National Air and Space Museum.
Law requires filters on Internet in libraries
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Vigilant libraries can keep pornography off their computer terminals and fulfill the requirements of a federal law without stepping on the First Amendment, a librarian testified yesterday.
David Biek, a manager of the Tacoma, Wash., Public Library, said Internet filtering software kept pornography from his patrons.
Filters have "made it possible for is to continue to deliver services effectively, including the Internet," said Biek.
The law requires libraries to install filtering software on computers by July or lose federal technology grants.
The trial, which is being heard by three federal judges, stems from two challenges
filed by the American Library Association and a group of public libraries and library patrons.
The American Civil Liberties Union is arguing the case on their behalf.
The government contends that the law wouldn't force libraries to do anything — if they don't want filters, they can just turn down the federal subsidies.
They also argue that libraries spend lots of time and effort in selecting what's in their print collections, so they should be able to use the same selection criteria in judging what people can see online.
U.S. seeks death penalty for Sept. 11 suspect
Opponents of the legislation contend the filtering software often makes bad decisions, blocking sites with information on breast cancer and safe sex, for example.
The Associated Press
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The Bush administration said yesterday it would seek to execute Zacarias Moussaoui in connection with the Sept. 11 attacks and appealed to European allies to keep cooperating with terrorism investigations despite their opposition to the death penalty.
Moussaoui, 33, should be put to death because he helped plan "the largest loss of life resulting from a criminal act in the history of the United States," prosecutors said in notifying a federal judge of their intentions.
"Zacarias Moussaoui has demonstrated a lack of remorse for his criminal conduct," prosecutors wrote in setting up a novel effort to impose the death penalty against a defendant charged with conspiracy, not murder.
The decision by Attorney General John Ashcroft, a longtime death penalty supporter, touched off immediate criticism from anti-
Officials in Moussaoui's homeland of France said they would continue general cooperation with the United States but would not turn over any documents that could be used to support his execution.
"I regret this," French Justice Minister Marylise Lebranchu said of Ashcroft's decision.
terrorism allies who oppose capital punishment.
In Britain, where execution also is outlawed, a government spokesman said, "Our position on the death penalty is well known."
Traveling in Miami, Ashcroft announced his decision in a televised news conference and immediately sought to smooth relations with the allies.
"We ask our counterparts in the international community to respect our sovereignty, and we respect theirs, and to the extent that they can cooperate and help us, we welcome that cooperation." he said.
Though Moussaoui never boarded any of the hijacked airliners and was already in custody a month before the attacks occurred, prosecutors said there were several "aggravating factors" why his conduct warranted a death sentence.

Moussaoui's mother in France accused U.S. officials of seeking revenge.
"I am mystified as to why he feels he has to hold a televised press conference other than to influence the jury pool," Dunham said. "I'll stop short of calling it unethical, but it's close to it."
The government will seek to prove that Moussaoui committed the offenses "in an especially heinous, cruel and deprived manner in that they involved torture and serious physical abuse to the victims," McNulty added.
Frank Dunham Jr., sharply criticized Ashcroft's news conference as "disgraceful conduct" that could prevent selection of an impartial jury in the Washington area where the trial is slated this fall.

The Arabs presented their proposal as a challenge to Israel to indicate that it is prepared to compromise on long-held beliefs for peace.
Arab leaders support peace plan
BEIRUT, Lebanon — For the first time in the Middle East conflict, the Arab world has come together and agreed on a peace plan that offers Israel normal relations in exchange for a full withdrawal from war-won lands and a Palestinian state.
FARM HOUSING OPPORTUNITY
The Associated Press
The overture adopted yesterday by the Arab League set demands long resisted by Israel—including making east Jerusalem the Palestinian capital and finding a "just solution" for refugees. But it represented a major change in the Arabs' approach to Israel, breaking with the mindset of 23 years ago, when Egypt was shunned for signing a peace treaty with Israel.
The United States welcomed the Arab leaders' unanimous endorsement of the Saudi proposal. "We hope other leaders in the region accept the plan as well," White House spokesman Gordon lohndroe said.
Israel called the proposal "a very interesting development, something that should be pursued." But Israel has reservations, said Raanan Gissin, an adviser to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
Gissin insisted Arab nations must open "direct negotiations"
with Israel" and underlined Israel's rejection of the return of Palestinian refugees. Sharon has long ruled out a withdrawal to the country's 1967 borders, though he has not specified what he would offer for peace.
U. S. State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said the peace plan, first drawn up by Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah, "can help shape a more positive environment for peacemaking." The United States is trying to forge a cease-fire in 18 months of Israel-Palestinian violence.
Yasser Arafat said yesterday he was ready to work for "an immediate cease-fire" with Israel. But his
Man jumps to death after shooting spree
The Associated Press
PARIS — The man who killed eight officials at a city council meeting jumped to his death from a police station window yesterday, shocking an already reeling nation and angering those who wanted to see him face trial.
"Our system did not function," said President Jacques Chirac, a conservative who's campaigning for re-election in voting next month.

Questions were already being raised about how Richard Durn, who was deeply disturbed, was able to obtain semiautomatic pistols and keep them even though his license had expired.
Eight people died and 19 were wounded in the shooting rampage early Wednesday after a six-hour budget meeting. One of the injured remained in serious condition yesterday, said Nanterre Mayor Jacqueline Frayse.
Durn, a 33-year-old unemployed man, used two Glock semiautomatic pistols to gun down officials, some of whom he knew. He also carried a .357 Magnum.
ROME — Premier Silvio Berlusconi said yesterday there was "no need for particular concern" as his defense chief criticized the U.S. government for warning that extremists might target Americans in four Italian cities on Easter.
Italian premier says Americans not at risk
The Associated Press
Italy stepped up security, nevertheless, after the State Department warned on Wednesday that a "possible threat exists to U.S. citizens in the cities of Venice, Florence, Milan and Verona on Easter Sunday from extremist groups." It urged Americans to be alert and avoid large crowds.
After a Cabinet meeting yesterday, Berlusconi said Italy was ready to deal with any possible terrorist threat. "We have put anything that can be put on alert on alert," the premier said, "but based on the information we have there is no need for particular concern."
A U.S. official said the warning was based on information

"If you indicate a danger on a date, either the date is right, and to announce it all around it can become a precious signal for the terrorists who will then change their plans, or the date is wrong, and you can't understand why it was made known, frightening people," Martino said in an interview published Thursday in the Rome daily La Repubblica.
developed in cooperation with Italian authorities. But Italian Defense Minister Antonio Martino, who commands both defense forces and paramilitary police, said the U.S. decision to issue the warning was "unfortunate and inopportune."
Arafat calls for end to violence in Israel
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM — Facing a possible military strike, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat said yesterday he was ready for an immediate, unconditional cease-fire. But he stopped short of declaring a Mideast truce, and Israel reacted with skepticism.
More violence erupted last night when suspected Palestinian gunmen opened fire at Eilon Moreh, a Jewish settlement near the West Bank town of Nablus, killing three people and wounding two, the Israeli military said.
Speaking at a news conference in his West Bank headquarters of Ramallah, Arafat said the Palestinians had informed U.S. envoy Gen. Anthony Zinni of "our readiness for an immediate implementation of the (U.S. truce) plan without any conditions."
Israel said Arafat's statements were not enough.
"I will see the glimmer of hope ... when Arafat starts to take action," Raan Gissin,
"I will see the glimmer of hope ... when Arafat starts to take action."
Raanan Gissin spokeswoman for Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon
spokesman for Israel Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, told CNN. "He has to take real action. Declarations won't do."
Arafat also claimed that the Israelis were planning a major military operation against the Palestinians. The Israelis have warned they are prepared to retaliate for a suicide bombing Wednesday that killed 20 people at a seafront hotel.
"Unfortunately, there are some aggressive preparations by the Israelis to do a wide military operation against our civilians; our cities and our refugee camps." Arafat said.
Zimbabwean journalist jailed for investigation
The Associated Press
Peta Thornycroft, a Zimbabwean working for The Daily Telegraph, was not formally charged after her arrest Wednesday, her lawyer, Tapiwanasha Kujinga told The Associated Press.
HARARE, Zimbabwe — Empowered by sweeping new security laws, authorities arrested a journalist working for a British newspaper after she investigated reports of violence by rulling-party militants, she and her lawyer said yesterday.
Police indicated they would seek charges of reporting falsely on political violence and with incitement to public violence, Kujinga said. The charges are punishable by up to five years in
prison.
Thornycroft, 57, was investigating reports of violence by members of Mugabe's ruling party against supporters of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change in Chimanimani. Police had no immediate comment on her arrest.
Thornycroft, speaking on her lawyer's mobile phone described allegations against her as "preposterous."
"To arrest journalists is a fun damental assault on one of the pillars of democracy — the freedom of speech and information," she said Thursday.
She denied doing anything illegal and said she was having a cup of tea in Chimanimani when she was arrested.

TENNIS Tennis team undefeated heading into meet with Texas
The Kansas tennis team will carry a 4-0 record in the Big 12 Conference and a six-match winning streak into its two matches this weekend.
The Jayhawks, 9-3 overall, take on Baylor at 1 p.m. Saturday and lows at 11 a.m.
Sunday at the Robinson Center tennis courts.
Baylor dominated last year's match with the Jayhawks, winning 7-0. This year the Bears are 3-1 in the Big 12 and 11-4 in season play.
lowa is 5-8 this season and 2-2 in the Big 10 Conference.
Jonah Ballow
The Kansas swimming team completed its season during spring break at the Phillips 66 National Swimming Championships. Four individuals and three relays qualified for the meet. The Jayhawks finished 29th out of 87 teams.
"I was very impressed with how the girls swam," coach Cathy Burgess said. "All of our girls had nice showings, and it was good for us as a team to compete at the national level and gain some recognition. Hopefully, we can build off this and use it to our advantage next season."
SWIMMING Swimming team finishes season on positive note
No seniors participated in the meet for Kansas.
Junior Gwen Haley finished 14th in the 400 individual medley and 22nd in the 200 fly. Sophomore Kristen Johnson was 27th in the 100 breast and 33rd in the 200 breast. Freshman Amy Gruber finished a successful first year with a 45-th place finish in the 100 free and 55th in the 100 fly. Fellow freshman Miranda Isaac placed 21st in the 100 breast and 34th in the 200 breast. The 400-free relay team placed 10th while the 800-free relay came in 20th. The 400-medley relay finished 11th.
On the diving side, all the Jayhawk divers competed in the NCAA Zone D Divining Championships in Fayetteville, Ark.

Arkansas hires basketball coach
The Associated Press
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Stan Heath was hired as coach at Arkansas yesterday after leading Kent State to the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament.
He replaces the only coach who led the Razorbacks to an NCAA basketball title. Nolan Richardson was fired one game shy of completing his 17th year at the school.
"The emphasis on graduation is going to be essential," Heath said. "They can excel in basketball and they can graduate," he said.
Hours earlier, Heath's resignation at Kent State was announced on the Ohio campus by athletic director Laing Kennedy.
Heath, speaking at a news conference, called Richardson a pioneer for black basketball coaches.
"I'd like to thank Coach Richardson," said Heath, who is black. "He's opened up barriers. He's a leader."
"I love Stan Heath, I love what he stands for," Kennedy said. "I personally will miss him."
Arkansas hopes Heath can extend his one year of success at Kent State to a school that won the NCAA title in 1994 and made three Final Fours between 1990 and 1995.
Heath was introduced at Bud Walton Arena, with chancellor John White passing out Heath candy bars to open the news conference. Within a minute of announcing Heath's appointment, Broyles led a crowd in a "Woo-Pig-Soocie" cheer.
"We have a coach here who can continue the great tradition of Eddie Sutton and Nolan Richardson," athletics director Frank Broyles said.
Heath was in his first year at Kent State and had a five-year contract. Kennedy felt complimented that Heath was taking the Arkansas job.
Heath stressed that Arkansas players would have to concentrate on academics as well as basketball. None of Arkansas' incoming freshmen class of 1994 graduated within six years, according to NCAA figures.
"You do not want to have coaches nobody else wants," Kennedy said. "In my opinion, Arkansas is one of the top five jobs in America."
The 10th-seeded Golden Flashes (30-6) fell one victory short of the Final Four, losing to Indiana 81-69 in the NCAA South Regional final.
Kennedy said Heath told him Wednesday night during an emotional meeting at the athletics director's home that he was leaving.
Heath was among a half-dozen coaches interviewed by the Arkansas search committee. He also traveled to West Virginia to inquire about its vacant job.
"He's one of those hot, young coaches that has made a name for himself," Kentucky coach Tubby Smith said from the Final Four in Atlanta. "I know coming in behind Nolan Richardson, he's got some big shoes to fill. Whenever you follow a legend, it's tough."
Arkansas fired Richardson on March 1, four days after he said for a second time he wanted to be bought out, criticized fans and reporters and said he was treated differently because he was black.
kincardson's team was 13-14 when he was dismissed for comments Broyles and White believed hurt the program. The Arkansas system president last week upheld the dismissal.
Richardson said he wanted the university to buy out the last six years of his seven-year. $1.03 million annual contract. His buyout is $500,000 a year for the next six years.
Heath's contract at Kent State called for an annual base salary of $120,000.
Heath was hired at Kent State in 2001 after helping Michigan State win a national title and reach the Final Four during his three years as an assistant.
Heath also was an assistant at Bowling Green, Wavne State, Albion and Hillsdale.
During their tournament run, the Golden Flashes beat Oklahoma State, Alabama and Pittsburgh.
Kennedy said he already had spoken with unidentified people about replacing Heath.
Kent State's success had special meaning for the Mid-American Conference. The only other time the MAC had a team in an NCAA regional final was in 1964 with Ohio University.
Kent State's 30 wins marked a single-season record for any MAC team, as was the team's 21-game winning streak.

Cancer (June 22-July 22) - Today is a 5.
You've had long enough to think things
over. Now, it's time for action. You know that's true, because you're growing impatient. You may even snap at someone who's being a jerk. If he really is being a jerk, don't feel guilty.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) - Today is a 6.
Continue to ponder and plan. You can fit
HOROSCOPES

virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) - Today is a 6.
Pay your bills in such a way as to leave
more in your pocket. You don't do this

extra cash on hand. You may need it to
fix something that breaks this weekend.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct.22) - Today is a 9.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) - Today is a 10.
Push past your old limits - don't wait a
moment longer. It'll be relatively easy,

real life.

Basketball? Don't forget other sports
Kansas students will be glued to a TV or radio tomorrow as the Kansas men's basketball team plays Maryland in the Final Four in Atlanta.
They may be drinking and watching with it friends at J.B. Stout's or Old Chicago, sitting with thousands of their closest friends at Memorial Stadium, or at home with a small group of pals.
What they should be doing before the game is showing their school spirit for the other Kansas teams — rowing, tennis and softball — playing in town tomorrow.
What better way to share your euphoric mood for the basketball team than by cheering on these Kansas squads? Make sure you bring a walkman, though (I'll explain later).
support them Next, move to Jayhawk Field at noon and watch the softball team play a doubleheader against Texas. The Jayhawks are 8-1 at home and need all the support they can get against Longhorn pitcher Cat Osterman. The freshman is 20-6 overall and has thrown two perfect games of the season, and could be part of a great pitchers' duel against Kansas' Kara Pierce, who threw her first career no-hitter earlier this season, if they match up in either game.
Start your day at 10 a.m. at Burcham Park and root for the rowers in their dual regatta against a tough Texas team. It is the only home competition of the season for the team, which was ranked nationally last season, so it's your last chance to support them before next fall.
Between games, travel just about a block east to the Robinson Center tennis courts and watch the tennis team try to run its home record to 7-0.
Coach Kilmeny Waterman's women are 4-0 in the Big 12 Conference and will take on Baylor at 1 p.m. Freshman Paige Brown — 8-0 at No. 4 singles—and junior Kim Lorenz — 9-0 at the No. 6 singles spot—should lead Kansas in its first outdoor match of the season.
The weather could help the Jayhawks against the Bears, who are used to those warm Texas temperatures. If the weather is bad, the teams will play at Alvamar Racquet Court on Clinton Parkway and take away the Jayhawks' advantage, but all their previous victories have come indoors.
Remember that walkman I told you to bring? Tune it to 1320 AM at 2 p.m. to listen to the baseball team take on Oklahoma State. The Jayhawks are 12-9 overall and entering the heart of their tough Big 12 schedule. They lost two of three to the Cowboys last season, but this year's team has an improved offense and the starting pitching has been stronger overall with senior Jeff Davis, Dan Olson and Jake Wright on the mound.
With a team in the men's Final Four, three teams playing in town and one squad on the radio, Kansas students will have a lot to cheer about this weekend. Just make sure to make the most of such an unusual situation.
While listening to the game, keep bouncing back and forth from the second softball game and the tennis match, both of which should last until it's time to go grab a bite to eat and start preparing for the basketball game.
Don't waste your enthusiasm Sunday while you're basking in the glow of Kansas' victory against Maryland, though. Continue showing your support by watching the tennis team take on Iowa at 11 a.m. at Robinson and listen to the baseball team's final game in Stillwater at 2 p.m.

'Hawks run wild Team steals season-high six bases
By Ryan Wood
Kansan sportswriter
From day one, coach Bobby Randall has said his Kansas baseball team was one of speed.
And now, it's starting to show.
The Jayhawks (12-9 overall, 1-5 Big 12 Conference) stole a season-high six bases against Baker Wednesday, and they hope the fleet feet will continue to run when they travel to Stillwater, Okla. to take on No. 21 Oklahoma State this weekend.
FILE PHOTO/KANSAN
Junior Casey Spanish said if the team could have put more players on first, it could've stolen 20 bases in Wednesday's game.
Spanish, who has five stolen bases in as many attempts, is just one of the speedy base runners on the roster. Junior outfielder Lance Hayes leads the team with eight steals in
11 attempts. As a team, Kansas has stolen 31 bases in 34 attempts, for a 91 percent success rate.
The impressive number has been, for the most part, without what might be the fastest of them all. Junior outfielder Jason Appuhn, who has played sparingly with a shoulder injury, has just one swipe on the season. In 2001, he stole 23 bases, second on the team. "We need Jason Appuhn healthy," Randall admitted.

Kansas at No.21 Oklahoma State
Place: Stillwater, Okla
Time: Today, 3 p.m.; tomorrow, 2 p.m.; Sunday 2 p.m.
Radio: KLWN 1320 AM
Oklahoma State enters today's game with a 17-7 overall record and a 3-3 Big 12 mark. The Cowboys last played on Wednesday, beating Memphis 9-3 in Stillwater. Starting pitchers for both teams have not yet been determined.
Notes
Kansas outfielder Lance Hayes has led the team in steals this season, completing eight of eleven attempts. His efforts have been key to what success the team has enjoyed thus far.
Today's game is the beginning of a seven game road trip for Kansas. After three with the Cowboys, Kansas will play one game at Oral Roberts and three more against University of Texas in Austin. They return home to play Wichita State on April 7.
All three of this weekend's games will be broadcasted
live on 1320 AM. Brock Bowling will call the action

Golfers continue to find greens
The Kansas men's golf team continued its torrid pace through the spring season this past weekend by placing first at the Stevinson Ranch Invitational for the fourth straight season.
The victory was the culmination of consistent improvement during time off between the fall and spring seasons.
"We're just starting to get things together," coach Ross Randall said.
"We were searching for a No. 5 man, and actually, Casey Harbour was struggling a bit.
"Andrew Price and Casey Harbour have picked it up. Hopefully, we'll peak around conference and regionals and then nationals."

Despite the team's recent winning ways, Randall believes some changes need to be made.
"We just need more consistent play, more work on the short game, some of the guys are still struggling with putting," Randall said. "We need to work on making better decisions in pressure situations, such as club choices."

Rowers prepare for only home duel of season
By Brent Wasko
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas rowing team has waited a long time for tomorrow morning.
"I feel great to finally get out on the river to compete," senior Dana Parsons said. "It feels like we've been practicing forever."
Not only will the squad open its spring season, but the Jayhawks' duel against Texas at 10 a.m. on the Kansas River near Burcham Park will be the team's only home regatta.
The Jayhawk rowers began training for the upcoming season on Jan. 3, vying for an opportunity to race on the team's varsity eight-boat.
There are four races scheduled for the duel against Texas — a varsity eight-boat, varsity four-boat, second varsity eight-boat and freshman boat race.
Kansas and Texas boats will compete head-to-head, meaning that they will start 15 seconds apart, navigating three miles of river. Whomever completes the course in the shortest amount of time wins.
While the Jayhawks have yet to race this spring, Texas has competed six times already. Senior rower Andrea Buch said the Longhorns' added experience might provide Texas with somewhat of an advantage.
"It's a little intimidating, but I see it more as a challenge that we have to overcome," Buch said. "It think they're really locked in, and we might have some nerves and jitters to get over with."
Kipsas returns 11 seniors and 37 letterwinners from last year's squad that finished among the nation's top 25 teams for the third straight season.
Jayhawk coach Rob Catloth said he was excited to see what his team was made of this spring.
"They're quite a bit more seasoned," Catloth said. "Their previous race experience should make them a little less nervous for this Saturday. I think we're ready to go out and work hard."
Texas is coming off of a regatta in which it defeated several ranked teams, but Catloth said he thought the Jayhawks still had a good shot at winning.
"We've made a lot of improvements during the past few weeks," he said. "We just have to show our maturity and avoid sloppy mistakes."
Buch said no matter what the end result, racing in Lawrence would be a special time for the team.
"Words can't express how nice it is have friends and family there," she said. "We don't have a lot of races at home, so this one is very important to us."

Texas' tough pitching comes to town
After a sweep of Arkansas, the Kansas softball team plays host to No.23 Longhorns
By Ali Brox Kansan sportswriter
Kansas softball coach Tracy Bunge isn't sure if there is a way to prepare for Texas' freshman pitcher Cat Osterman. Osterman brings a 20-6 record to Lawrence tomorrow as the Jayhawks face No. 23 Texas in a doubleheader starting at noon at Jayhawk Field.
The left-handed hurler threw her second perfect game of the season, striking out 17 batters, Wednesday against Baylor.
"We're going to have to mentally battle and be disciplined at the plate," Bunge said. "We have to put the ball in play. It'll be interesting because she'll only throw one game, so we will have to be sure to take advantage in the other game."
Kansas swept Arkansas on Wednesday, improving its record to 19-12. The team was able to capitalize on Razorback mistakes to ensure a pair of nonconference wins.
Offensively, senior outfielders Shelly Musser and Leah Tabb have been on a tear. Entering Wednesday's game, Musser was batting.417 and had team- beests with 18 RBI, 19 runs scored and five home runs. Tabb was named the Big 12 Player of the Week after hitting .556 in Big 12 Conference games and reaching base in all five games during spring break.
Bunge said that her team enjoyed Big

Williams back, knocking on Atlanta's door has plans to 'knock the sucker down'
By Doug Pacey Kansan sportswriter
Roy Williams will cry in Atlanta.
Kansas' self-described "corny" coach will sob if he wins and shed tears if he loses. Williams' eyes will water and he'll choke up when someone asks him about his seniors after they've played their last game, whether it's after a loss to Maryland tomorrow night or on the champion's podium Monday night.
A stressed out Roy Williams bows his head in frustration during a game.
Whv will Williams wail?
"Because I'm Roy," he deadpans.
The Jayhawks' 14-year coach admittedly shows his emotions to a fault sometimes.
[Image of a man]
After his 1997 No.1-seed Jayhawks fell to eventual champion No.4-seed Arizona in the Sweet 16, Williams all but ripped his heart out of his chest.
"I'm going to keep knocking on the door," the red-eyed coach said between gasps, "and one of these days I'm going to knock that sucker down."
CHRISTINA NEFF/KANSAN
Video clips of a bleary-eyed and sullen-faced Williams sitting at a table with a microphone and name tag in front of him and the words "NCAA Tournament" plastered like a checkerboard on the wall behind the coach are familiar to even the most indifferent college basketball fans.
Williams has yet to break that barrier down, but the same emotions the media and public sometimes criticize, his team embraces.
"It's real unusual to see a coach in the spotlight act like he does," junior forward Nick Collison said after Kansas beat Illinois Friday and became Williams' first No. 1-seeded team to advance past the Sweet 16 in five tries. "They try not to show stuff, but coach wears it. You see happiness, you see his hurt. He's out there with us, all of him."
That heart-on-your-sleeve attitude is something the Jayhawks have embraced. After No. 1-seed Kansas (33-3 overall, 16-0 Big 12 Conference) pounded Oregon 104-86 and earned the program's first berth to the Final Four since 1993, the Jayhawks said they did it for Williams. When a reporter told
When Arizona upset top-seeded Kansas 85-82 on Mar. 21, 1997 and Williams had to watch heralded seniors Jacque Vaughn and Jerod Haase fail to reach the Final Four, he had an epiphany.

All-American Drew Gooden will lead his team in a Final Four match up against Maryland tomorrow night.
By Doug Pacey Kansan sportswriter
It's a little known fact that Roy Williams' mentor, former North Carolina coach Dean Smith, won his first national championship when he was 51-years old. What does that have to do with anything? Well, Kansas' coach turned 51 on Aug. 1.
Williams is as superstitious as all get-out and he'll even get on his hands and knees to retrieve a good luck charm. When he dropped a lucky penny at dinner last week in the team's hotel in Madison, Wis., two of the restaurant's waiters got on all fours with the coach in search of the one-cent charm.
When Kansas was in St. Louis for its first- and second-round games, Williams had his team rub a statue of Saint Louis University's mascot, the billiken, for good luck before the Holy Cross game. After squeaking by the Crusaders, Williams said, "I believe, the statue will need to get his thrills some other way."
and earned a trip to the Final Four. When the team bus was driving by the "Mighty Miss" on the way to the Jayhawks' game against Stanford Williams couldn't resist the river's calls.
Two days later, Williams' wife Wanda and three people from Leavenworth spit into the Mississippi River for good luck. When the Jayhawks were in St. Louis in 1993, they spit into the river
"The river was calling my name, 'Rooooyo,'" he said.
The coach herded his players off the bus and down the rocky shore — even Kirk Hinrich, with his gimpy left ankle — and they all hocked one into the Mississippi.
"Coach said he did it before and it worked." Drew Gooden said. "So it wasn't going to hurt anything for us to do it."
With a match-up against No. 4-ranked Maryland looming tomorrow, luck might be the one thing that puts No. 2 Kansas over the top. The Jayhawks and Terrapins are as evenly matched as any two teams in the country. Both have athletic and powerful big men and quick and agile guards that can shoot with lights-out accuracy.
"I think this is going to be the best match-up of the year," freshman forward Wayne Simien said. "I think this is the best another team has matched up with us all year. We are definitely looking forward to getting in the mix with these guys."

"They really have a well- rounded team," Williams said. "I think we both have some match-up problems because you never know which guy is going to hurt you the most. A plus for our team is that I think we have more than one guy who can score and I think Maryland can score from the inside, can score from the outside."

Jayhawks on a mission to replace fans' faded '88 championship shirts
By Brent Wasko
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas basketball fans want a good reason to throw away their 1988 national championship T-shirts, which are sitting at the bottom of their drawers, collecting cobwebs.
They have been waiting 14 years to replace the shirts with a newer version. But before the fans can toss away their old scrubs, Roy Williams will have to bring a national championship trophy back to Lawrence from this weekend's Final Four in Atlanta.
Williams said he knew that great opportunities to win the title have slipped through his hands before. He has coached four No.1 seeds, three No. 2 seeds and two Final Four Jayhawk teams that have eventually lost in the NCAA Tournament.
Last Sunday, Kansas sprinted past Oregon 104-86 in the Midwest Region Final, sending Williams and the Jayhawks to their third Final Four since 1988.
The last time Kansas came close to winning a national title was in 1993, when the team made it all the way to the Final Four only to lose 78-58 to North Carolina in a national semifinal game.
In 1991, Kansas got even closer to a title as the Jayhawks squeaked by North
Carolina 79-73 to advance to the national championship game. But Kansas didn't finish the season as champions, losing to the Duke Blue Devils, 72-65.
Mike Maddox, who was a co-captain on that Jayhawk squad, said he would always remember the season fondly, but that he couldn't forget losing either.
"It's a different kind of disappointment. When we lost to UCLA in 1990, we were disappointed because we didn't play the way we were capable of." Maddox said, referring to the Jayhawks' 71-70 loss to the Bruins in the second round.
"When we lost to Duke the next year in the championship, I replayed the game over and over again in my head. But I was also like 'Wow, we still had a great season.'"
Kansas freshman forward Wayne Simien said he recalled watching that '91 team, which influenced him enough to become a layhawk fan.
"I remember Maddox, Richard Scott, Alonzo Jamison and those guys — the big guys, "Simien said. "When I played back then, I just remember following those guys. I think about that time is when I really started to get into Kansas basketball."
Maddox still avidly follows the Kansas basketball team and plans to fly
down to Atlanta with two other former Jayhawks, Chris Piper and Kevin Pritchard, to see the Final Four games tomorrow and Monday.
Maddox predicts that this year's squad will win the title if it plays up to its ability.
doubt.
"I think they're the best team in the country, but when you get to this point, that doesn't matter as much," Maddox said. "We weren't favored either year I was there, but we still did well."
Maddox said the key to success once you get to this point in the season was to focus on just the games and not all of the hoopla that surrounds them.
"it's a little overwhelming and a bit surreal. I mean that's something you dream about your whole life. It changes your life," he said. "My advice to them would be to enjoy themselves and to play the game no different than they would any other game. Once the game starts, the butterflies tend to go away."

Terps seek redemption in Atlanta
By Brent Wasko
Kansan sportswriter
Maryland has had to play under the pressure of high expectations all season, and the Terrapins know that pressure won't go away just because they made it to the Final Four.
They've been here before—now they want to take the next step by winning a national championship.
The Terrapins are the only team returning to the Final Four since last season. They fell to Duke in a national semifinal game last season 95-84 after leading by 22 points.
Maryland coach Gary Williams said making it to the Final Four last year changed the way the team approached this season.
"We were picked very high in the preseason and we had to deal with that through the practices leading up to our first game," he said. "After losing that first game to Arizona, right away people thought something was wrong."
Williams said his team had changed a lot since then.
"We've progressively gotten better this year, and I think we're a much better team now than we were in December," he said.
Maryland, which is 30-4, won the ACC regular season championship with a 15-1 conference record. The Terrapins have won 17 of their last 18 games, which has led many Maryland fans to think the school's first national title is on its way.
But before Maryland can worry about winning a national championship, it must first concentrate on its national semifinal game against Kansas tomorrow in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.
Kansas coach Roy Williams said, because Maryland was so intent on advancing further than it did last year, the Terrapins might be a more dangerous team than ever.
"Their goal was not just to get back to Atlanta," Roy Williams said. "I think they're probably mad about what happened last year and they're going to be so much more focused to go there and get it done. That's a tough situation to play a team that's thinking about that, especially as talented as they are."
Maryland was a fairly young team last year when it played in the Final Four, but this year's squad is experienced. The Terrapins are led by three senior co-captains — forward Lonny Baxter and guards Juan Dixon and Byron Mouton.
"The fact that Byron transferred from Tulane and sat out a year is unusual. Sometimes you have to reinvent yourself and Byron has done a good job of that the past two years." Gary Williams said.
"Both Lonny and Juan were considered blue chip recruits. I think there are a lot of guys who left school early who are jealous of

the experience that Juan and Lonny have had."
Maryland has a lot of offensive firepower, but Dixon steals the show for the Terrapins. The All-American became the Terps' all-time scoring champ during Maryland's second-round win against Wisconsin. He is averaging 19.3 points per game this season.
"I've enjoyed reading about and hearing about Juan Dixon and how far that young man has come from the problems he had as a kid," Roy Williams said, referring to Dixon's rise out of poverty as a child. "You know that Juan Dixon is going to play a great game."

Player's dad spares no expense to watch son
The Associated Press
COLLEGE PARK, Md. Richard Blake loves to watch his son play basketball, hates flying, and apparently doesn't mind driving.
Blake has logged thousands of milesfollowing his son, Maryland guard Steve Blake. First, to schools in the Miami area, then to Virginia where his son transferred in his senior year of high school. And for the last three years, to College Park and wherever else the Terps might be playing.
"It's a lot of driving, but you know what's on the other end of it
watching great basketball and
watching my son play," he said.
"It's awesome."
Blake says he has attended almost all of the Maryland games his son has played in, except when they travel to the West Coast or Hawaii. He considered flying to last year's NCAA West regional, but the ticket was too expensive.
Four years ago, the elder Blake sold his house in Miami Lakes, Fla., and moved into a nearby apartment so he could afford the trips. He said he spends up to $20,000 a year to watch his son.
"I've been going to all of his games since he was 5 years old," Blake said.
This basketball odyssey has put
about 150,000 miles on a conversion van Blake bought last year that includes a bed and a television set. He said it takes him about 18 hours to drive from south Florida to College Park, and most of the trips are made alone.
Last weekend, he drove more than 28 hours to Syracuse, N.Y., to watch Maryland advance to the Final Four in Atlanta, getting back to Miami on Tuesday. On Wednesday, he left for Atlanta for this weekend's games.
"I've always been there and (Steve) expects me to be there," Blake said.
Blake said he is reluctant to fly because of a near-miss in 1986,
when a company plane he was on crash-landed in the Everglades after both engines failed during a severe thunderstorm.
"I wasn't hurt, but that cured me of fling." Blake said.
Blake went to Atlanta with his wife, Cindy, and both of their fathers. He said they planned to return to Miami Lakes next week and "celebrate a Maryland championship," but admitted he was nervous about this weekend.
"I'm a wreck until the game starts," he said.

Sooners face unfamiliar foe, not yet satisfied with season
By Brent Wasko Kansan sportswriter
Oklahoma isn't familiar with playing in the Final Four, but the Sooners are very familiar with two of the teams left in the NCAA Tournament.
The Sooners faced Kansas twice and Maryland once this season, winning two of the three games. The only team in this year's Final Four that Oklahoma hasn't played, Indiana, is its opponent tomorrow night in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.
Until this week, Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson said he was fairly unfamiliar with Indiana and its style of play.
"Normally, when you get ready to play a team, you try to compare them to someone you've already played," Sampson said. "In ways, Indiana is similar to Missouri and, in other ways, similar to Arizona. They are a really good three-point shooting team."
Sampson said containing Indiana sophomore forward lared leffries would be important for his team.
"They run their offense through him a lot," he said. "It's a tremendous advantage to run your offense through a big man. You can't double-team him because he's such a good passer and you can't move him to the perimeter because he can shoot threes. He really makes a difference."
The Sooners entered the NCAA Tournament as a No. 2 seed in the West Region after out-muscling Kansas for a 64-55 in the Big 12 tournament championship game. That momentum has carried the team all the way to the Final Four.
"Basically, we're doing it with defense and rebounding," junior guard Hollis Price said. "Doing those things well was one of our goals at the beginning of the year. If you're rebounding and playing defense, the scoring will take care of itself."
The play of Oklahoma's bench as a been key to the Sooners' success in the NCAA Tournament, especially the performance of senior forward

Indiana likes being underdog; ready to surprise tough Sooners
By Brent Wasko
Kansan sportswriter
Indiana isn't supposed to be still playing.
The No. 5-seed Hoosiers were given little chance to get past the No. 1-seed Duke in the East Region semifinal game, but they did, coming back from 22 points down to defeat the Blue Devils, 74-73.
Now Indiana finds itself in the underdog role once again, preparing to battle the No.2 seed out of the West Region, Oklahoma, in the Final Four.
"Being the underdog is good because we are trying to prove a point." Indiana coach Mike Davis said. "Being close is not good enough. We have to win."

Senior guard Dane Fife said the Hoosiers actually played better when people pick them to lose.
"we're used to the underdog role like we are used to putting on our shoes." Fife said.

used to putting even though the team feels it has a good shot to beat the Sooners tomorrow evening at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, the coaches and players realize they are facing a formidable and physical opponent
"We were conditioning at practice basically preparing for a track meet out there," senior forward Jarrad Odle said. "They are similar to Duke, because they penetrate and dish. They run the ball like Michigan State because they take it out of the net and are looking to run from there."
Indiana's ability to run with the Sooners might be hampered by junior guard Tom Coverdale's status tomorrow. He reaggravated a left ankle sprain against Kent State last weekend, ending up in a wheelchair for a day.
"As far as percentage on me playing is concerned, it is way to early to tell," Coverdale said. "I have a pretty good pain threshold right now ... you have to. This is the type of game you dream of playing in. Anybody would play with this pain."
X-rays on the ankle came up negative, but Coverdale was forced to wear an aircast this week. He said it was still painful for him to walk.

Despite the possible loss of Coverdale, Indiana still has a lot of offensive weapons to work with. Sophomore forward Jared Jeffries leads the team, averaging 15.4 points per game, and Fife is a strong outside shooter, draining 47.7 percent of his shots from behind the arch.

The men's Final Four game between Kansas and Maryland is "the best of both worlds," said David Gottlieb, professor of law, pictured with his wife, Rita Sloan, who is an instructor in the music department at the University of Maryland. The couple is thrilled to have both of their teams in the game.
Kansas-Maryland game is win-win situation for couple
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
When two of the titans of men's basketball, Kansas and Maryland, do battle in the Georgia Dome, one will leave empty handed.
But for David Gottlieb and his family, the semi-final matchup in Atlanta will leave them winners either way.
Gottlieb, a professor of law at Kansas since 1979, is married to Rita Sloan, who took a job as an instructor in the music department at Maryland in 1999. Tomorrow night's matchup between the Jayhawks (33-3) and the Terrapins (30-4) is a game they had been hoping for since
Selection Sunday.
"It was kind of like the best of all possible worlds would be that they meet in the Final Four," said Sloan, who is in Lawrence during Maryland's spring break. "But it was so far away at that point, and anything can happen with upsets and all."
When last Sunday's Elite Eight matchups confirmed what the couple had been anticipating, the excitement came a bit late.
"Frankly, I was so relieved that Maryland won that game," Sloan said. "It took a little while to sink in."
Sloan, decked out in a red T shirt with big letters reading "Fear the Turtle," and Gottlieb, wearing a Kansas shirt
recognizing the team's undefeated Big 12 Conference season, seemingly shouldn't be getting along too well this week. But, the couple claims that is hardly the case.
"We love both teams," Gottlieb said. "Both of my boys are going to Atlanta. I think one of the reasons they're going is because they're going to have a team in the final game, no matter what happens."
Gottlieb and Sloan have three children, all of whom grew up in Lawrence and graduated from Lawrence high schools. With their hometown ties, the children became big lavihawk fans.
"But when Maryland went to the Final Four last year,"
Sloan said with a smile, "they did all get 'Fear the Turtle' shirts."
Having ties with both schools might make Gottlieb and Sloan, who have been married for 30 years, a couple of experts when it comes to tomorrow's showdown. In Las Vegas, Kansas is a narrow favorite, and Gottlieb said he wouldn't be surprised if the game was close.
"On paper, it is one of the closest games that I can ever remember," he said.

COACH
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
"I thought that team stood for what was best in college athletics," he said. "In Pictionary, beside the word student-athlete there would be a picture of those two guys. They were both Academic All-Americans, Jacque was Academic All-America Player of the Year. To me that was a perfect team and the right thing to happen was for them to go to the Final Four. Then when they didn't, it really bothered me. I felt so badly for those guys and I knew that I was going to, hopefully, have some more chances because I wasn't going to quit. At that point, I didn't want that to be the only way they could feel they were successful or not."
That's not to say Williams' drive to win a national title has lessened. It's just that the coach has learned what is most important.
"I think as the years go on there's no doubt in my mind I want to win one," he said. "But as the years have gone on I have come to the realization that my relationship with these kids is more important. That's what I'm going to judge Roy Williams on."
Williams reached that conclusion in 1998, he said. It took Kansas' coach 16 years to fully comprehend something mentor and legendary North Carolina coach Dean Smith told Williams deep in the bowels of the Louisiana Superdome in 1982 after the Tarbeks coach won his first national championship. Williams said he told his boss "how happy I was for him" that he claimed his first title and "shut those people up" who said Smith couldn't win big games. Smith had been at Chapel Hill, N.C., for more than 20 years before he won a championship and suffered from many of the same criticisms that Williams does today.
"He's so much more intelligent than I am," Williams said. "But he said, You know, I'm not really any better coach than I was two and a half hours ago."
Title talk
In the "win now" world of college sports, Williams has won more college basketball games (388) in his first 14 years of coaching than any other coach has in their first 14 seasons. His teams won more games (283) than any other school in the 1990s. He has directed the Jayhawks to 13straight NCAA Tournament appearances and 20-plus victories seasons. He has won eight conference championships and this weekend he will lead his third team to the Final Four.
But individual accomplishments and records merely whet the palate of Kansas' fans. The Jayhawk faithful hunger for nothing less than national championships and if Kansas fails to win the title this season, even the unprecedented 16-0 Big
12 Conference regular season mark won't squelch talk of a disappointing year.
That kind of elitist and quick-to-criticize attitude annoys Collison, he said, because people don't understand how much of himself Williams pours into his program.
"When people talk bad about coach, it upsets you," he said. "Those people don't see that every single day he's either on the road or with us. On off-days he'll fly to Vermont or wherever to see a kid and come back for practice and stay up to watch tape. People don't realize that he puts his whole life — maybe even ahead of his family — into this basketball team.
"People feel like just because it says 'Kansas' on our chest we should be in the Final Four and win the national championship. They don't realize what all goes into it."
Williams has admitted he cares about what people
think of him to the point where it might be a fault. But he's grown to realize that he can't please everyone and no matter how bad Kansas' fans want a national title, no one wants it more than he does.
"I tell every Kansas person," Williams says, "that I've got more desire in my little finger than all the Kansas fans in the world to win a national championship."
Williams has a chance to capture his first title this week, but if he never gets to cut down the nets in college basketball's most glamorous game, Williams can live with that.
"I've decided that my number one goal in life is to coach my grandchildren in Little League baseball and basketball — and they haven't even been born yet," he said. "My second dream in life is to win a national championship."

Tourney tickets sell for abnormally high prices
That's more than any event in Georgia other than concerts by Spears and Madonna and the Masters golf tournament.
The Associated Press
With good weather, an Eastern site with plenty of hotel rooms, two basketball-crazy schools that haven't been to the Final Four for a decade and a new Georgia law that makes scalping legal, demand has pushed the $140-$180 facevalue tickets to $8,500 for the best seats.
mere. "It's extremely hot," said Brett Sutton, a vice president with Empire Tickets, the city's largest broker. "And they are selling."
Upper-deck perches in the 53,250seat dome still can be had for around $400, he said, but better bring your binoculars.
ATLANTA — The Final Four is a hot ticket. Madonna hot. Britney Spears hot, even.
Unlike Minneapolis last year and Indianapolis in 2000, Atlanta's weather is mild in March, with temperatures around 70 expected this weekend. And Kansas and Indiana have some of the largest fan followings in the country and haven't been to the Final Four since 1993 and 1992 respectively. Maryland and Oklahoma are the other teams.
"Mostly what we're seeing are corporations buying," Sutton said. "And I've seen a lot of Indiana fans calling trying to pick up tickets late."
The high prices have shocked some buwers.
Jeff Brewster, a manager with Court Side Tickets in Indianapolis, said 20 to 30 Indiana fans have come calling every day this week. But with prices ranging from $300 to $4,000 for what he's got available, most turn up their noses.
"There's a lot of shopers, just not a lot of buyers," Brewster said. "I don't think a lot of Indiana people know what the Final Four brings. I think they're sort of shellshocked."
Online brokers this week listed Final
Four tickets in the first 30 rows for $4,500 to $5,500 for the three games. FinalFourTickets.com listed packages ranging from $4,500 for side court seats to $300 for "far distant view." TicketsQuick.com was offering courtside floor seats for $6,950.
Part of the reason for the demand is that all tickets - except the 4,526 made available to each Final Four school - have already been sold or allocated. There were only 14,378 made available to the general public to start with. The rest go to local organizers, NCAA officials, Division I athletic directors and basketball coaches and the media.
With the ticket demand and thousands of fans expected to pour into town without them, Final Four games will be a test for Atlanta police enforcing a new scalping law enacted last year, said spokesman Sgt. John Quigley. Peddling tickets for above face value on the street is now legal, but sellers must be licensed and stay at least 2,700 feet away from the venue.
Quigley said undercover officers will augment the usual units that try to keep an eye on scalpers on the streets outside the Philips Arena/Georgia Dome complex. So far, he said, the new law hasn't resulted in significantly more arrests.
But one ticket seller, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said uniformed police have been arresting groups of scalpers at a time in the past couple of months for violating the distance requirement.
Fans feeling lucky might wait until shortly before the games start, he said. There are usually more tickets available on the street than there are people willing to pay top dollar for them, he said.
"You might be able to get in for 100 bucks on game day, then again you might not," he said. "But history shows that it usually bombs on the walk."
Many have even taken to hawking their tickets by the highway exits into downtown, he said.

Teams overshadow Sooner football
The Associated Press
NORMAN, Okla. — Oklahoma prides itself on football. Just as that team starts spring practice, though, the school's basketball players are getting all the attention.
A sea of red Sooners hats and Final Four T-shirts bobbed across campus Tuesday in celebration of a rare double: Oklahoma's men's and women's teams are headed to the Final Four.
It's just the third time thata school has sent teams to both college basketball national semifinals in the same season. Duke did it two years ago, and Georgia did in 1983.
Oklahoma's women beat Colorado 94-60 Monday to win the West Regional and will play Duke in San Antonio today for a berth in the national title game. It's the first Final Fourth berth for any women's team from the Big 12 Conference.
"We're not a basketball school," zoology major Ryan Willes said while watching game highlights on a TV in the OU student union, "but we've got a chance to show our dominance."
Oklahoma's men defeated Missouri 81-75 Saturday and won the West Regional and face Indiana tomorrow in Atlanta. The Sooners hadn't been to the Final Four since 1988, when they lost to Kansas in the championship game.
How muted is Oklahoma's basketball tradition? Sooners guard Hollis Price, who's averaging 18.2 points in the men's NCAAs, said he "didn't even know we played for a national title against Kansas until I got here."
Still, men's coach Kelvin Sampson said his team has carved itself a niche at the school, which won its seventh AP college football national
"I think we've got our own great basketball tradition here," Sampson said. "We don't have the seven championships, but we've worked hard to create an identity for ourselves here."
title in the 2000 season.
That identity was in evidence at Frank Mize's tiny barber shop across from campus on Tuesday, the first day of football spring practice. The talk in the shop usually veers toward quarterbacks and offensive sets.
Now they're talking about rebounding and shooting.
"Since the tournament began, that's all I've heard," Mize said.
Local businesses post signs of support in windows and fly the school's crimson and cream colors outside storefronts. Along some streets, OU flags outnumber U.S. flags.
"There's an electricity in the air and you can feel it," said Luke Canon, co-owner of Suzy's Creations, an embroidery and screenprinting shop. "It's almost as good as football electricity."
"It's like being at the Ringling Brothers Circus for the first time." Canon said.
Canon and his wife, Suzy, said that since the tournament started, they had noticed that customers were buying more OU merchandise at the shop.
The memorabilia machine has kicked into full gear.
"I had a little girl come in the store the other day and she told me she wanted to look just like (All-American guard) Stacey Dales," store owner Helen Porkka said.
Items commemorating the teams' Final Four berths are hot, including autographed basketball balls, jerseys, hats, T-shirts, mugs and stickers.
Porkka said she had sold about 1,000 Final Four shirts since Sunday afternoon, when she had to reopen the store to
