Robert Gilmore's blankets remain behind the Dole Human Development Center after he disappeared three weeks ago. Acquaintances of Gilmore said he was in a state mental hospital.

Article raises concerns about media ethics
HIDING in plain sight
Homeless man on campus leads mysterious life after promising beginning as college graduate

Gilmore in a 1974 high school photo
By Adam Pracht Kansan staff writer
"Ishmael," he says. "Call me Ishmael."
For at least 20 years, Gilmore has been a part of the University of Kansas—as a student, a man without a home and a campus eccentric.
Or call him Simon, like students who talk to this homeless man who lived behind the Dole Human Development Center. Call him in Red, or Birdman, as others do. To the local police, he is Robert Steven Gilmore.
But on April 10, Gilmore vanished from his usual spot beneath the Dole overhang near the north sliding glass doors, leaving his blankets behind on the concrete.
his home, apparently."
Marcelo Moreira, Recife, Brazil, freshman and an office assistant at a design lab in the Dole Center, said that he had seen Gilmore behind the building since the beginning of last year. He said he worried about Gilmore and had concerns when he didn't see Gilmore in his regular spot.
"What might have happened to him?" Moreira said. "What kept him from going back? Because that was
According to his acquaintances, Gilmore was involuntarily committed about three weeks ago to Osawatomie State Hospital, a mental health hospital. They said he was walking back and forth across Ninth Street, causing a hazard to drivers and himself. Police said he resisted arrest when they arrived.
A hospital attorney said that she could neither confirm nor deny that
Gilmore was admitted there.
Some who know Gilmore say he will return to the University, if given the chance.
Known only by rumors
Gilmore isn't saying much and guards his past carefully - a man hiding in plain sight among the affluence of University students.
Rumors say this man in a red sweatshirt was a leaver of the 1960s who fried his brain on LSD, or a KU professor who had a mental breakdown. None of these stories appears to be true, though he has shown signs of mental illness.
Others who know him say he doesn't have to be homeless. Gilmore himself won't say whether he has to survive on campus or if homelessness is his own choice.
It is difficult to tell if his answers are an act of defense to keep people away.
"I think that the purpose of most of the activity on this planet — I suspect — is specifically to make things more difficult for me personally," Gilmore said. "Why do you think the United Nations exists?"
SEE GILMORE ON PAGE 6A
Today's story about Robert Gilmore, a man students have seen sleeping near the Dole Center, is one of the best we have published this semester, but it brought with it an ethical dilemma.
The reporter, Adam Pracht, spent weeks working on the story. He succeeded in getting the story where many reporters have failed. By talking to other people and looking through public records, Pracht found a story about a man who was reluctant to go on the record.
The end result is a compelling, compassionate story that should be of interest to KU students.
But we have had second thoughts about publishing the story.
Robert Gilmore called me last week. He asked why we were doing the story and said we were invading his privacy. He insisted that he was not a public figure, but a private individual, and that his story was not interesting or newsworthy.
Less complete stories about him had been published by the Kansan in the past, he said, and they had led to harassment by insensitive members of the KU community.
He didn't want pictures taken. He said he was hurt that our reporter had dug through his past.
The story would make his life more hellish, he said, and he didn't know if he would be able to return to Lawrence.
So we were faced with this question: Do we run an interesting story that may foster better understanding of Gilmore and people like him at the expense of invading the life of someone who has little perceived power in society?
Everyone had an opinion.
Gilmore placed himself in the public eye, one journalism professor said. Gilmore is a public figure, and this story explains to students who he is.
But is he a public figure by his own choice? He has shown signs of mental illness. Does he even realize that making a temporary home near Dole raises interest and maybe concern — in our community?
On the flip side, one editor argued that this was an important story. We cannot slip into the practice of catering to our sources — every story we write forces us to some degree to examine the lives of our sources

and ask uncomfortable questions
Furthermore, he said, the story explained to students what had happened to the man they used to see on an almost daily basis (Gillmore is now in a state hospital).
Obviously, we decided to run the story.
It's not a decision I feel particularly comfortable with, but I would not have felt any better had we not run the story.
We faced in this story an ethical dilemma, and there was no clear-cut answer.
I wrote this column to explain to you, our readers — and maybe Gilmore himself — that the decision to run the story was not made haphazardly. We discussed it with many people, including several journalism professors, a supervisor at Osawatamie State Hospital and Gilmore himself.
It was an informed decision, and one we stand behind.
We decided to publish the story because Gilmore spent time on campus. Hundreds of students saw him almost daily many interacted with him, wondered about him, harbored concern for him.
Although I never talked to Gilmore, I have noticed his recent absence from the Dole Center. I've wondered where he was. Had he moved? Was he safe? Why were his blankets still there?
Pracht's story answers these questions for me and other students. That is why it belongs in the Kansan.
Read the story on today's front page. It is well-told.
And know it's about a man who didn't want his story told, but whose story might change the way we view people like him.
Walker is a Rolfe, Iowa, junior in journalism and religious studies and editor of the Kansan.

Professor, 70, found dead at home
By Rachel Keesee
Kansan staff writer
Donald Baer's wit, generosity and goodwill will be missed by his family, friends and colleagues.
Baer, a distinguished professor of human development and family life and psychology, was found dead at his home early yesterday morning. He was 70
Baer joined KU in 1965 and was planning to retire in June.
His daughter, Miriam Baer of Durham, N.C., said he was deeply committed to his academic pursuits and his research.
"He was very well loved by his peers and his students alike," she said. "He was my dad, and I loved him."
Edward Morris, professor and chairman of the human development and
family life department, said Baer was the intellectual leader of the department.
"Don was one of the most brilliant people I ever met," he said. "We were colleagues for 27 years."
Morris said he would remember Baer's wit, high standards of professionalism and concern for others.
"His generosity and goodwill toward students was wonderful — it's so hard to put into words right now," Morris said.
"I am grateful that we were able to share our gratitude with him just two
The department recently established the Donald M. Baer Faculty Award, which will be given to a professor in the department to recognize outstanding contributions. On April 13, Baer was given the plaque that will go to the first recipient of the award.
weeks before his untimely death," said Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, interim dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. She also took one of Baer's classes when she was a graduate student.
"Don was a wonderful mentor to generations of students," she said.
Sgt. Mike Patrick of the Lawrence Police Department said Baer's wife, Elsie Pinkston, notified the police department at 2:59 a.m. yesterday because she could not reach Baer.
Pinkston is a professor of social work at the University of Chicago.
No official cause or date of death is available yet, Patrick said. Funeral arrangements are pending.

Student ceramics annual sale to begin tomorrow
The University of Kansas ceramics department's annual Spring Sale will be from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.tomorrow at room 315 in the Art and Design Building.
Judy Arnold, president of the Ceramics Club, said this was the fourth year for the sale. She said proceeds from the sale benefited ceramics students.
"Part of the proceeds are actually set aside to create an endowed award for ceramic students," she said.
The sale will feature ceramic pieces made by undergraduate and graduate students, as well as KU alumni.
The award, also sponsored by the Ceramics Club, will be given for the first time in the 2002-2003 school year.
Arnold said this year's sale would also feature glass work by Vernon Brejcha, an associate professor of design who retired last semester.
Arnold said prices would range from a few dollars to several hundred depending on the piece.
"This is the first time we've had work from a retired professor in the show," Arnold said. "But he's participated in the sales for the last two years, and he's newly retired and still part of the community."

Man faces added charges after pulling gun on officer
INDEPENDENCE — Shea VanKirk, 32, was shot about 11 a.m.yesterday, after he appeared before District Judge Judd Dent for a plea hearing on four felony charges.
Montgomery County Sheriff Jack Daniels said that, as a condition of VanKirk's bond, his car and home were to be searched.
Deputy Ron Wade accompanied VanKirk to his car, and VanKirk reached into the car, pulled a handgun, and turned toward Wade, Daniels said.
The deputy then shot VanKirk in self-defense, Daniels said. The wound was described as not life-threatening.
ON CAMPUS
VanKirk was scheduled to make a plea yesterday, but his hearing was continued until May 21 because "plea negotiations had been entered into," according to court records.
Because a deputy was involved in the shooting, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation was called to investigate Daniels said.
alions had been entered into, allowing VanKirk now faces additional charges of attempted murder and felon in possession of a firearm. He had previously been charged with two counts each of aggra- vated battery and one count each of selling methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a school and illegally possessing anhydrous ammonia.

Prairie upkeep worries scientist
By Lindsey Hodel Special to the Kansan
A piece of virgin prairie on campus underwent restoration, prompting concern that the area might have been poorly managed.
The half-acre of protected prairie, officially called the Prairie Acre, is behind Blake Hall and south of the Hall Center for the Humanities.
In the first week of April, the prairie was burned, then seeded with native grasses by using a no-till drill, said Mike Lang, landscape manager for Facilities Operations.
"When I started at the University last April, the area was overgrown and it looked like nobody was taking care of it," Lang said.
Facilities Operations and the Biological Survey are responsible for maintaining the area. Kelly Kindscher, associate scientist at the Biological Survey, monitors the site and said the area was not being preserved and Facilities Operations shouldn't alter the area without a plan.
"It would have been nice to know where the seeds they recently planted came from, because using local genetics is important for preserving the area," he said. "Most commercial seeds are not local."
Kindscher developed and proposed a plan
to Facilities Operations in 1992 that outlined necessary maintenance, such as timely burning and mowing, removal of trees shading the grass, and planting of local species of grasses and wildflowers.
After proposing his plan to Facilities Operations, the department removed some of the trees and treated non-native species with herbicide. However, the allocation of resources to purchase local grass and wildflower seeds was never agreed upon.
Doug Riat, director of Facilities Operations, said he had not seen a maintenance plan for the Prairie Acre since he became director two years ago.
"I wasn't aware such a plan existed — I don't have a copy of the maintenance plan in my files," he said. "We have attempted to improve the area with burning, mowing, and planting native grasses every year in early spring."
Kindscher said recent changes to the area were not well-informed. The area once sustained 80 to 100 species of plants, but now about 30 species inhabit the Prairie Acre.
"If indeed this is a restoration project, we should be bringing in native seeds and trying to bring back plant life," he said. "I am very hopeful that the restoration plan I have pro
MILITARY CENTER
The native prairie grass site south of the Hall Center for Humanities is burned and mowed early each spring to sustain growth, posed can still be followed."
The University granted protection to the Prairie Acre in 1952 after a committee in the Friends of the University raised concerns of extensive construction near the site.

Committee to restyle vice chancellor's job
By Sarah Hill Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas is using David Ambler's retirement this summer as a catalyst for change.
Ambler has been vice chancellor for student affairs for 25 years, and after he leaves, the University is taking the opportunity to change the ways students learn and use services on campus.
Provost David Shulenburger has organized a committee that will reevaluate the structure through which student services are administered.
"The committee is going to look at all student services at KU and come back with a recommendation on how to best organize student services," he said.
Ambler said he was not involved in the restructuring but spoke to the committee when they started their discussion.
Kevin Yoder, Hutchinson third-year law student and member of the committee, said the committee would change the job description for new applicants who would replace Ambler.
"The job description is from the 1970s, when Dr. Ambler came to KU," he said. "We will review what we had the vice-chancellor doing, and change or revise the duties before hiring a new person."
Ambler said the organization of the University had changed significantly in the last 25 years.
Other than the changes in the KU administrative structure, Ambler said parts of the job description remained the same as they did in the 1970s.
"When I started this job, we had a dean of women and a dean of men." he said. "There were about 12 people who answered to me. We eliminated some positions and restructured so now there are about four or five people reporting to me."
"So much of what you do is not in the job description," he said. "The kind of relationships you build with your staff and students, and how you respond to crises isn't anything you can plan for."
Michele Eodice, chair of the committee and director of the KU Writers Roost, said the eight-person committee of students, faculty and staff had a deadline of the end of May.
Yoder said there would be a meeting at 6 tonight at the Curry Room in the Kansas Union for students who would like to participate in a focus group to study the situation.

Cops confer on campus safety
Rv Rachel Keeseee
Kansan staff writer
Terrorism, bio-terrorism and school violence were some of the issues addressed in the Mid-America region meeting of the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators this week.
The conference, held at the University of Kansas for the first time, brought together law enforcement officials from private and public universities and colleges who were trying to deal with increasing campus safety. The officers discussed protecting their campuses not only against terrorists, but from the campus populations themselves, said Ralph Oliver, director of the KU Public Safety Office.
"It's based on the premise of most campus law enforcement agencies depending heavily on municipal police," Oliver said. "The reality is that it can take half an hour or an hour to have the manpower to help. This is a genuine attempt to prepare for anything and to maximize our options so we can best react to it."
The conference theme was preparing the "first response."
Officers learned about "less lethal"
weapons — including tasers, bean bags and weapons that fire rubber bullets — that would enable them to subdue violence without resorting to handguns. Oliver said.
A weapons demonstration showed the difference between less lethal weapons and high-powered weapons, and between shotguns and rifles.
Officers had the opportunity to test each type of weapon.
Guest speakers discussed situations they had been in, what had worked and what had not.
Kevin Willett, a public safety training consultant from Redwood City, Calif., spoke about school violence. He said educators at all levels had to be prepared to handle it.
Oliver said he was pleased with the preparations the safety office staff made for the conference. He said 125 people had registered for the conference.
"There is no 100 percent guarantee to prevent an event from happening," he said. "We're about how to pre-plan, how to handle an event if it does happen."

Hold student senators to its election promises
Now that another Student Senate election season has passed, the campus will continue going about its business.
The transition period is underway, but students should remember one important fact — Student Senate is more than election season, much more.
Too many students pay attention only to the events associated with Senate when it is time for them to vote again. When all is said and done, they forget who promised them what. Is the student you elected to represent you when important decisions are being made actually representing you?
When the time comes to vote on an issue and make a decision for you, does he or she take your thoughts into consideration? Remember the platform issues — the main promises that were made to you during the elections. Are those important ideas being further addressed and acted upon? If you cannot answer these questions a few days, weeks or months down the road, it's time to expect more from your student senators.
If you think that the promises made to you last month are not being fulfilled, let your senators know and hold them to those promises.
If you have a concern that you are truly passionate about, attend a Wednesday night committee meeting and voice your opinions —and expect that they are taken into consideration.
Most importantly, help your student senators help you. Far too often, people make the mistake of thinking that campus politics aren't important. If the issues Senate is addressing aren't important to you, then they aren't real issues. If the decisions made by Senators weren't important, hours of consideration and serious conversation would not accompany the decisions that are made.
Next year, when election season starts again, remember the senator who represented you during the coming year. If you don't feel he or she did a good job of representing you, take that into consideration.
Hold your Student Senators responsible — your campus will be the better for it.

I'm in the NRA, and instead of trying to ban something that's in the Constitution, why don't you ban something like cars, something that's not in the Constitution? They're more dangerous anyway.

Newsrooms don't calculate irony, they seek news value and appeal
READERS' REPRESENTATIVE
A week ago today, the front page of the Kansan was a study in contrasts. An article about KU's Women's Recognition Program, a ceremony held to honor outstanding female students, sat at the top of the page. Below that was a story about Playboy magazine employees searching for women to feature in an upcoming issue of the flesh-filled magazine.
That the two stories ran so closely together was ironic — an observation shared by Free for All callers and my English professor. But readers should know that the Kansan staff recognized the iron before the paper came out. Editors ultimately decided to go ahead with the page — for reasons that throw light on the day-to-day realities of creating a newspaper.
The story about the women's recognition ceremony was on the front page for the same rea
Kansan editor Leita Walker said the front was an example of the news judgments that had to be made to produce a newspaper. The Playboy story was not originally meant to be the centerpiece of the page, yet as other stories fell through it became more important. It had attention-getting pictures and told an interesting story.

son. It had a picture, it told about an important event.
"They were the two newsiest things in the paper." Walker said.
Kyle Ramsey, managing editor for design, designed the front page. He said that he worked to make sure the page wasn't excessively lascivious.
"We had the photos to make it look like a smut layout," he said. "It was my concern not to make it look that way."
Jay Krall, managing editor for news, was not enthusiastic about the page. He said that the
Indeed, compared to ads found in many magazines (or in some issues of the Kansan), the photos featured on the from page were quite tame. Ironic, yes, but not indecent.
"To deal with the juxtaposition itself of these two stories we detract from them both," said Krall. In other words, putting the two stories together creates a third thing — separate from the contents of each of the stories — that threatens to overwhelm them.
Krall also pointed out that moving the stories around would have created problems, too. Move the story about the recognition ceremony inside, and the Kansan would seem to slight the event. Move the Playboy story inside and the front page would have missed a feature-type centerpiece. In either case, something would have been lost.
newspaper had a responsibility to present the news in a "palatable way."
"There's no easy answer." Krall said. "There's no right answer."
Such is the day-to-day work of making a newspaper. Front pages are constructed from available resources. Uncomfortable ironies occur. But the newspaper's ultimate mission — to accurately report student-centered news — remains.

U-COUNCIL DECISION A TRAVESTY
When University Council convened on Thursday afternoon, a group of students, including myself, packed into the cramped room on first floor o f Blake Hall. We saw representatives from every school and department on campus file in and take their seat. We saw our student representatives sit along side them, drastically outnumbered.
I slowly watched democracy die in that room. I slowly realized that one person's voice means very little in a system as corrupt and twisted as ours. Most importantly, I slowly learned that my alma mater does not care a single iota about me.
Dear editor.
For an hour, I stood in the back and watched faculty and students wage a war of words. I saw teachers I've respected for a long time lose my respect in minutes. I saw students I ran against in Student Senate a week ago stand up for me and gain the respect I hadn't seen fit to give them before.
With my own two eyes, I saw members of the faculty decry the increase "unfair" and the acts of the state's Legislature "unconscionable."
I saw members of the Ad Hoc Committee admit that the proposal they submitted misled those that voted on it and probably wouldn't have passed otherwise.
I saw students nearly break down into tears hoping to stop this ridiculously unfair increase from destroying the financial lives of the student body.
I saw many things in that room. But the one thing I'll never forget is the lack of shame I saw on those faculty members' faces when they approved the increase. Despite all evidence that this increase will have a devastating impact on the student body, one by one they agreed to pass the proposal.
They passed it despite pleas from students. They passed it despite the formal objection of Student Senate. They passed it despite the objections of members of the Ad Hoc committee. They passed it even when they knew it was wrong.
As we filed out of the room,the students

I walked away from that meeting ashamed at what had happened. I'm ashamed to have those people as my teachers. I'm ashamed that the University sees students as dollar signs instead of human beings. But most importantly, I'm ashamed to be a Jayhawk.
LETTERSTO THE EDITOR
BETOLERANT EVEN IF YOU DISAGREE
looked around in disbelief. That was our "democratic" representation. That was the system that was supposed to protect our rights as members of this university. A room full of faculty on tenure easily out voted the small student minority and destroyed the hope of thousands of Kansas who dreamed of affording a college education. Truly, democracy at its finest.
Dear editor.
It seems as though the definition of tolerance has shifted to narrowly include only those views which directly conform to one's own ideals, beliefs, convictions, etc. The latest controversy to which this can be applied is none other than the "I agree with Lee" campaign.
I have always understood the concept of "tolerance" to mean a "respect to the actions and beliefs of others." Reading through the Free for All and letters to the editor on April 18, it is quite easy to see that this definition is lost on a number of people, which is quite surprising, considering how "liberal" and "open-minded" KU is supposed to be.
Here is another quote which demonstrates my second point: the persistent, hypocritical, double standard that permeates a vast majority of "free expression" and supposed liberal tolerance. "I do not agree with Lee. I think the
Let me pull a few quotes from the Free for All to demonstrate my point. "I'd just like to know when our beautiful, liberal campus became full of so many crazy, religious people wearing crazy, red T-shirts that can't speak for themselves." How wonderfully accepting and open-minded this person is.
KU Environers has the right to speak out against Citi Corp., pro-choice supporters have a right to chalk political slogans, queens have a right to march in a parade, but apparently that same right isn't extended to "crazy, red-shirt wearing Jesus followers." I see any number of Muslim women walking around campus wearing scarves over their heads, yet they are not rebuked for clearly denoting themselves as followers of Islam.
Using this person's same rationale, I could say that a majority of the population is heterosexual, therefore, why should the UDK run stories highlighting Pride Week? Or that minority students make up only a small percentage of the total student body, so why should they be allowed to organize and attempt to increase minority recruitment? These statements would never pass the Free for All censors. I would be labeled a bigot and racist, and rightly so.
Avraham Mendall Mor in his letter to the editor ("Agreeing with Lee," April 18) assumes that only Christians are attempting to convert the world, but neglects to mention, or realize, that every major religion, specifically the ones he mentions, have in their teachings the duty of its members to spread the faith.
So, how then, is a person rightly justified in criticizing someone for expressing their religious beliefs? This is the United States of America. Since when doesn't a person have the right to stand up and declare what he believes in?
I suggest that everyone take a step back and take a deep breath. Everything is going to be okay. No one has been injured, no one has been wronged. It's OK to be annoyed, but when one manifests that annoyance into intolerance, there's a problem. Let's just all stay consistent in our convictions.
ract that about 10,000 students at this University likely do not agree either is reason enough for the UDK to not print full-page confessions." The hypocrisy of this argument is incredible.

Lied Center announces schedule
Next year's lineup includes 'Rent.' Russian themes
By Jessica Tims Kansan staff writer
The second-floor lobby of the Lied Center was full of gasps of excitement during the announcement of next year's season.
Performances such as Rent, Lord of the Dance and Cabaret drew a favorable reaction from a crowd of about 200 Friends of the Lied Center, who gathered last night to hear the announcement, an hour and a half before the final performance of the Lied Center's 2001-2002 season.
Tim Van Leer, executive direc
tor of the Lied Center, began the announcement by thanking Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Provost David Shulenburger for their support of fine arts at the University of Kansas. He then thanked the Center's corporate sponsors for the 2002 to 2003 season.
"This year, we have the most corporate sponsors ever," he said.
Van Leer said the 2002-2003 season contained performances with Russian themes.
"We will be working with the Center for Russian and East European Studies," he said. "We are celebrating the tricentennial of St. Petersburg."
Russian performances include The Moscow Boys Choir, The St. Petersburg String Quartet and the Russian State Opera's performances of Tosca.
Planning for the 2002-2003 season has been going on for a year and a half, Van Leer said.
Shows are often suggested to the Center by the Friends of the Lied, KU students and the public, Van Leer said. He said the suggestions were given to a programming committee who made the final decision.
"We always ask for input whether it be sending e-mail or seeking us out and telling us what they want to see," he said.
Van Leer said that the Tony award-winning and Pulitzer prize-winning musical Rent was frequently requested, especially by students.
Single tickets for next season go on sale this morning for students. Karen Christilles, associate director said.
"The public will have to wait until July to get single tickets," she said. "But series subscriptions will go on sale for them tomorrow also."
Van Leer said the Center was able to offer half price student tickets through Student Senate funding.
"The Student Senate provides a fund that allows us to augment the ticket price for student tickets." he said.
The 2002-2003 season will officially begin at 7 p.m. on Friday, August 23 with a free concert by Celtic fiddler Natalie MacMaster.

GILMORE
Eagle
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Robert Gilmore, a homeless man, lived off and on in this shed a few years ago in Deborah Engstrom's backyard. Engstrom, a coordinator for the Lawrence Interdenominational Nutrition Kitchen, offered her shed to him, and he made it into a home complete with a cot, radio and heater.
KIMBERLY THOMPSON/KANSAN
The only reason for the UN to exist is so that the different countries of the world can get together and discuss how they can make things more difficult for me if I ever went to Pakistan or Venezuela. I've never been to those countries, but I guess they're on standby just in case."
Still, Gilmore can be lucid. When pressed by a reporter, he said that he was not a fascinating subject.
"I'm about as interesting as a potato," Gilmore said. Like a potato, he said that he could be photographed and written about, but nobody would be interested.
But Deborah Engstrom, a coordinator of the Lawrence Interdenominational Nutrition Kitchen (LINK), has a different opinion about Gilmore.
"He's an enigma. That's all I know," Engstrom said "He's far from a potato."
Engstrom said she got to know Gilmore when she let him stay in the shed in her back yard on 19th Terrace south of campus.
She said that Gilmore's fantastic stories were a way he defended himself.
"The problem is, I think, he doesn't want to open himself up to hurt, to exploitation," she said. "So he often times seems to keep his distance to other people. He often says, 'I don't want people to know me well.'"
Jim Lewis, owner of Checkers Food at 23rd and Louisiana streets, used to deliver cheese, cans of peas and carrots and grape juice to Gillmore in Engstrom's shed. Gilmore would pay for the groceries with the little money he had. Lewis said that he hadn't seen Gillmore for several months.
Trouble on the streets
Gilmore has good reason to be cautious.
Engstrom said Gilmore had Retinitis Pigmentosa, a condition in which the retina of the eye slowly deteriorates and stops working - taking away his vision.
Lewis said Gilmore used to wear glasses, but they were broken and Gilmore hadn't replaced them. He added that Gilmore was now nearly blind — things appeared only as dark shadows to him — and his disability made him a target for robbery.
"Some of the other street people have taken advantage of him," Lewis said. "They've taken his shoes. They've taken his clothes. They've taken his food."
Gilmore never followed a set schedule. He usually slept behind the Dole Center until mid-morning. Then he checked the belongings he kept in a trash bag, including various medicines, blankets and food. After he folded his blankets and sleeping bags, the rest of the day might be spent looking for food or services like showers and washing machines. Otherwise, he often wandered the streets of downtown Lawrence. By evening, he usually returned to his same spot behind the Dole Center or had gone to a homeless shelter like the Salvation Army for the night.
Lieutenant Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said Gilmore's makeshift home behind Dole wasn't illegal, as
EVENTS IN ROBERT GILMORE'S LIFE
Dec. 10, 1957 He is born location unknown
May 1975 - He graduates from Pranson High School
1979 — He graduates from the College of the Ozarks with degrees in math and English.
1982 — He takes classes at the University of Kansas for the first time.
April 23, 1985 — He is arrested for the first time on charges of pedestrian in roadway, interference and resisting arrest
April 10, 2002 — He is involuntarily committed to a mental health hospital.

long as he used the campus buildings in the way they were meant to be used.
He also said that Gilmore was a rarity. The police seldom deal with the homeless on campus.
"With the entire city and shelters and places to get food — all off campus — there's not a lot of draw for them here at the University," Bailey said.
Ashley Milford, director of social services at the Salvation Army, said most of the homeless people she knew spent little time on campus.
"There's the shelter that's available for them, so that gives them a place to stay with their friends. Just like any other person, they like to be around those that they know," Milford said. "Another reason why might be the intimidation of the campus itself. The college students on the campus. The police constantly
His life on the street has caused crossed paths with local law enforcement. His criminal record in Lawrence began in 1985 when he was arrested for walking in the middle of the street and resisting arrest. His record continued with similar incidents — two each in 1988 and 1990 and an arrest for trespassing in 1994.
patrolling."
There was an incident almost every year after 1994. He was arrested in 1995 for walking in the street and 1996 on the same charge of pedestrian in roadway. He was arrested for disorderly conduct in 1998 when he tried to bathe in a fountain at Water's Edge, 847 Indiana St., and disobeyed a police order to leave. He was arrested for trespassing at Water's Edge again in 1999. Finally, he was arrested in 2000 for failure to obey a police officer.
Bailey said that campus safety officers had to deal with Gilmore when they found him walking in the street or causing a disturbance, but the calls about Gilmore usually came from people who wanted to help him.
"There are very few complaints. It's more of concerns," Bailey said. "When he's sleeping, people want us to check on him and see that he's all right."
Engstrom said that she thought Gilmore stayed on campus because he once took classes at the University or because he enjoyed the academic atmosphere. Engstrom said that Gilmore had tried to march in homecoming parades and walk down the hill with graduates.
Promising beginnings
Student directories list Gilmore as a non-degree-seeking student from Point Lookout, Mo., for the years 1982 to 1985, 1991 to 1992 and 1997 - incli-
dentally the times when he was not running into trouble with local law enforcement. Sources say that he took classes in aerobics and German, but it didn't appear that he was ever a regular student at the University.
Before he came to the University of Kansas, Gilmore earned degrees in math and English in 1979 from the College of the Ozarks in Point Lookout, Mo., according to the registrar's office at the college. The office also said he came to the college in 1975 from nearby Branson High School.
Brenda Romine, director of communications for the Branson School District, went to high school with Gilmore and remembered that both he and his brother Jerry Gilmore dressed in suits and carried briefcases to each class. She said that he was at the top of his class academically but not socially.
"He did seem to have the capability of acquiring and keeping a job and would be self-sufficient," Romine said. "I'm saddened that he is unable to care for himself."
A chosen path
Although he attracted curiosity at the University, some say that he choose his lifestyle.
Steve Fabac, manager of the Kwik Shop at 845 Mississippi St., said Gilmore used to come into his store frequently to buy food and trash bags. He said Gilmore didn't have to live on the streets if he didn't want to.
"There are people that have offered to help him in out of the elements," Fabac said. "He just chooses to live that way. I think it's sad, but you can't help those who don't want to help themselves."
Engstrom said that Gilmore had a desire for control over his own life, which could frustrate those who wanted to help him.
KIMBERLY THOMPSON/KANSAN
Robert Gilmore's blankets lie where he used to sleep near the north side of the Dole Human Development Center. Lieutenant Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said the blankets would stay there unless the office received a complaint.

"A lot of us in the helping arena, we want to think we're in control and we're going to fix you. We're going to take care of you. We're going to project our standards onto you and make you well," Engstrom said. "And you can't do that with Simon because he's not going to let you."
Read how Pracht gathered the information for this story.
She said that Gilmore could be pushy in getting what he wanted when he wanted it. For example, Gilmore would refuse to come into the LINK building during regular meal hours because he thought the other people there didn't like him. He would later show up at an odd time and want food.
But Engstrom said she thought Gilmore was an intelligent man who truly cared about people. Though he sometimes expected help at inconvenient times, Engstrom said that Gilmore was always polite about it. Engstrom said she appreciated his love of science fiction, poetry and humor. He would often ask about her foster children and her health when she was recovering from a hospital stay.
"He's a delightful person. He can be a delightful person," she said. "And he can also drive me right up the wall when he wants something done and I don't have the time to do it."
She said that Gilmore was meticulously clean and added a cot, radio and heater to her little shed.
"It's clear to me after that experience that he wants a home on some level." Engstrom said, "Because he really fixed up that shed. Instead of just putting stuff in it, he did his best to make it a home."
But at the same time, Fabac said that Gilmore wore diapers and had frequently come into his Kwik Shop smelling bad. Fabac asked him to leave to protect his other customers from the smell. He said Gilmore once came into the store wearing nothing but a clear plastic trash bag because he was cleaning his clothes in the laundromat across the street.
After spending time with Gilmore, Engstrom said she saw signs of obsessive compulsive disorder, which causes a person to feel need to repeat certain rituals.
Engstrom said Gilmore appeared to be afraid of germs. He washed his hands in scorching hot water repeatedly, wore gloves constantly, requested double baggings for any purchases and would not take anything unless it was first set down.
"I guess if I had to say there was an issue that interferes with his active daily living, that would be it more than anything," Engstrom said.
According to the National Resource Center on Homelessness and Mental Illness, 39 percent of homeless people report some form of mental health problem.
Frank deNoyelles, professor of psychology, said that changes
in mental health care during the late 1960s and early 1970s attempted to move the mentally ill from hospitals and psychiatric wards into the community. He called that policy a good idea that faced practical problems.
"Unfortunately, the resources didn't follow in the amounts that were needed," deNoyelles said. "So what we end up with are a significant population that, perhaps in another time, would be in the hospital for a couple weeks or months but are now out in the community, but are still not functioning very well and so are unable to hold a job or unable to pay for housing."
The road back
it is difficult to say when — or if — Gilmore will be released from involuntary commitment. An attorney at the hospital said involuntarily committed patients went through a series of psychological reviews, with the period between each review increasing with time. Gilmore could be released tomorrow, years from now or never.
But Engstrom said Gilmore's need of control, more than his disabilities, kept him on the streets.
"He wants the services, but he doesn't want the services," she said. "He wants the services on his own terms."
Engstrom said that if Gilmore were released from the hospital, there would be legal requirements placed upon him such as psychological treatment and maintaining a permanent address. She said Gilmore had contacted her from the hospital and asked if she would allow him to use her address as the one to which he could be released. Engstrom refused because she said she knew that Gilmore would just want to live on the streets. She said she wouldn't be a part of the deception.
Gilmore might return to his spot near the Dole Center—his blankets are still there, and Bailey of KU Public Safety said he wouldn't disturb them unless the office received a complaint.
"No one's turned them into lost and found," he said. "If it's trash, it's probably better suited for Facilities Operations to handle it."
Engstrom said she felt certain that Gilmore would return to the streets of Lawrence and possibly to the University and the Dole Center once again.
"When it comes right down to it, this is his preferred lifestyle," Engstrom said.
Before he was committed, Gilmore said that he grew up with the planet and planned to still be living behind the Dole Center when the earth died.
"In the end, it's going to be the cockroaches, me and this building," he said.

She said that Beth had been a constant friend through the years.

Although they were in some of the same activities in high school like dance and basketball, Amy Innes said that they had some different groups of friends and interests.
She said that they were very competitive growing up—especially in sports and in grades.
"It has its ups and downs,"
Amy Innes said. "For the most
part you have a best friend who's always there for you. We do fight as you can ask anybody on this floor. It's like the person who slams the door hardest wins."
But all of that competition was laid aside last year when Amy broke her third lumbar vertebrae from the cumulative stress of years of sports.
Rod Innes said that he felt helpless to help his daughter.
"She had a lot of pain with it," he said. "And that's what is hard to see her having difficulty with pain and there wasn't much we could do about it."
"I think she was influenced by it because her game in basketball picked up immensely when I couldn't play," she said. "Iwas like we played for both of us."
Amy Innes said that she had to wear a brace for several months as the bone healed. During that time, she said her sister Beth helped her in small ways. However, Amy Innes said that Beth's performance on the basketball court after the accident meant the most to her.
"I'd see her on the bench and she just inspired me," she said.
Beth Innes agreed that she was making an effort for them both.
As close as they are, it seems that after college they will go different directions. Beth wants to go the east coast, Amy to the west. Beth said they'd keep in close contact.
"I don't know if we could be that far apart," Beth Innes said, "But if we do, then we'll be on the phone every day."

Missing Florida girl may be 'Precious Doe'
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City homicide detectives are investigating whether an unidentified girl found beheaded here last April was a missing Florida girl.
Palm prints of the missing girl were expected to arrive in Kansas City today by overnight courier. The prints should tell detectives whether the missing girl, 5-year-old Rilya Wilson of Miami, is the same girl Kansas Citians know only as Precious Doe.
Precious Doe's decapitated body was found April 28, 2001, in east Kansas City. A searcher found her head three days later.
"This Miami lead appears to be promising, and we're going to pursue it, but we're holding back our excitement," said homicide
Capt. Randy Hopkins. "It's still very preliminary."
Miami-Dade police called Kansas City police Monday night about Rilya, who has been missing for more than 15 months. Florida authorities faxed copies of Rilya's palm prints to Kansas City yesterday, but the fax quality was poor.
Rilya, who should have been monitored monthly by child welfare agents, was reported missing only last Thursday.
Her grandmother, who was caring for the girl and two siblings, said she thought Rilya was in the custody of the Department of Children and Families, who had placed the child with her in late 1999 or early 2000.
The state, officials said, thought Rilya was living with her grandmother.
State revenue in April short by $50 million
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — The state collected about $50 million less in revenue than expected in April, aggravating the budget crisis, legislators said last night.
Word of the preliminary collection figure came from the Department of Revenue just ahead of the wrap-up session that starts today, when the Legislature must tackle a revenue shortage already estimated at $700 million.
"It's very disturbing and disheartening and compounds the problem," said House Appropriations Committee Chairman Kenny Wilk, R-Lansing. "Fifty-million dollars in April is a big miss."
The preliminary tax collection for April was $415 million. State officials had expected about $465 million. Collections in March were $27 million below the forecast.
"I think it doesn't bode well for the coming months or the next legislative session," said Rep. Rocky Nichols, D-Topeka, a member of Wilk's committee. "It's a devastating, brutal dose of reality."
Legislators learned of the numbers as education officials and a group advocating the disabled called on legislators publicly to put more money into aid for public schools and social services.
Gov. Bill Graves already had scheduled a news conference for 11 a.m. today to discuss the April revenue collections. Budget Director Duane Goossen declined comment last night.
By law, legislators must use the official March 8 estimates — the ones that lawmakers said were overly optimistic — in completing a budget. But Nichols said the latest collection figures couldn't be ignored.

Sports editor's murder still a mystery
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Police have done more than 300 interviews, tips trickle in almost daily and a reward fund has been increased to lure someone into talking.
Yet the mystery endures: Who killed Kent Heitholt?
Six months after the Columbia Daily Tribune sports editor was slain in a parking lot just outside the newspaper, there have been no arrests in Boone County's highest-profile homicide since the Depression-era shooting of the local sheriff.
"The longer the time, the colder case gets. But we keep working," said Sgt. Steve Monticelli of the Columbia Police Department.
Heitholt, 48, a husband and father of two teen-agers, was fatally strangled and beaten early on the morning of Nov.1. He had stepped from the newspaper building with a colleague after preparing that afternoon's sports section.
The co-worker had said goodbye to Heitholt and driven away after they joked about an always-hungry stray cat the editor made a habit of feeding in the parking lot. Heitholt kept a box of cat food in his car, and he had just spread out some food for the cat when he was attacked, police said.
Minutes later, members of the newspaper's cleaning crew reported seeing two white, college-aged men standing over Heittholt's body next to the editor's car.
They said the pair walked away
quickly, up a sloping driveway and down a street toward the University of Missouri campus. Other sports writers rushed outside, found the lifeless Heitholt and called 911, bringing a quick response from police headquarters just two blocks away.
Police dogs followed the trail several blocks south, to an intersection next to a cluster of dormitories. But in Columbia, the sketchy descriptions of the assailants could apply to hundreds of young men, and not necessarily students, Monticelli said.
Robbery may have been the motive, and it may have been random. Monticelli said there was nothing in Heilitholt's life or background to indicate he was targeted.
A veteran sports writer, Heitholt
had graduated from the University of Missouri before working for newspapers in Jackson, Miss., Nashville, Tenn., and Shreveport, La. His widow said they returned to Columbia five years ago because it seemed like a safe, nurturing place to raise their children.
The morning after Halloween, this sports-mad community that hosts the Missouri Tigers was stunned as news spread about Heitolt's death. The 6-foot-3, 300-pound editor was a fixture on the sports scene, covering not only major-college events but giving attention and respect to Little League, community bicycle racing and high school coaching.
"Who knows why this happened? It's so bizarre, we just don't know," Monticelli said.
Officials say public schools need more taxes
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — A tax increase of at least $300 million is the only way to provide adequate funding for public schools, a group of education officials said yesterday.
The group said a compromise budget proposal that would use cash reserves to finance some programs is not a solution to the state's problems.
The House Appropriations Committee took up more budget
issues yesterday, one day before the entire Legislature reconvenes for its wrap-up session.
The $4.4 billion compromise budget drafted by House and Senate negotiators last week would keep aid to public schools at its current $3,870 per pupil in fiscal 2003, which starts July 1. That's despite a projected $700 million budget shortfall that legislators must eliminate.
The compromise budget would use $110 million in cash reserves to finance ongoing government
programs — but still would require $222 million in higher taxes to balance.
A measure before the proposal would increase a wide array of taxes to generate $335 million.
Many education officials say holding spending flat for public schools amounts to a cut because school districts face higher payroll and health insurance costs.
"We all agree that we need at least the $300-and-some million tax increase to get it done," said
Mark Tallman, lobbyist for the Kansas Association of School Boards.
Education officials said that without increased funding, many teaching and support positions, such as school nurses and counselors, would be eliminated.
The compromise budget proposal contains most of the budget for the state's next fiscal year, but legislators plan to consider a final cleanup bill as well.
Two teachers allegedly helped students cheat
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — If teachers at two Kansas City high schools provided improper information to students before the most recent round of state examinations, the scores of all those teachers' students — even those with no advance knowledge — would not count for accreditation purposes.
The two teachers have been removed from their schools while the Kansas City School District
investigates allegations of cheating on the Missouri Assessment Program tests, school officials said Monday.
The state would still grade the students' state standardized tests and issue a score for each student, said Jim Friedebach, director of assessment for the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
scores of the cheating teachers' students for accreditation purposes, even if the cheating is alleged to have occurred in just one class.
Friedebach said, however, that if teachers provided questions or test materials to students, the state would toss out all the test
At least 90 percent of the students in a particular grade must take a Missouri Assessment Program test; otherwise the scores in that subject do not count, even if the district's scores are high enough to merit accreditation performance points.
That standard is designed to prevent a district from encouraging its worst students not to take the tests.
District officials could not say Monday how many students were assigned to each teacher under investigation. The district said that it was investigating testing improprieties but that no test material or questions were distributed to students.
The district is responsible for investigating the allegations and the state generally accepts those findings, Friedebach said.

9-11 case ruled unconstitutional
The Associated Press
NEW YORK - The government's jailing of material witnesses for a grand jury investigation of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks is unconstitutional, a federal judge ruled yesterday in throwing out a perjury case against a Jordanian college student.
The ruling, if upheld, could have far-reaching implications for the government's crackdown on terrorism.
Dozens of people have been jailed as material witnesses since the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
In a rebuke of Attorney General John Ashcroft, U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin said, "Relying on the material-witness statute to detain people who are presumed innocent under our Constitution in order to prevent potential crimes is an illegitimate use of the statute."
Scheindlin threw out perury charges against Osama Awadallah, 21, a Grossmont College student in El Cajon, Calif., who was accused of lying about his associations with two of the Sept. 11 hijackers.
At a Washington news conference, Ashcroft defended the roundup of material witnesses after Sept. 11, saying the opinion of "one trial judge in New York represents an anomaly."
"The department's use of material witness warrants is fully consistent with the law and longstanding practice." Ashcroft said, adding that other judges have authorized use of material witness warrants in similar settings and that such use had been validated at the appellate level.
In New York, U.S. Attorney James B. Comey said, "We believe the court's opinions are wrong on the fact and the law, and we are reviewing our appellate options."
Scheindlin said the Founding Fathers who wrote the Bill of Rights believed people "should forever be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects" from intrusion and seizure by officers
acting under the unbridled authority of a general warrant."
Congress in 1984 carefully carved out an exception with a statute that lets a material witness be detained until his testimony can be secured by deposition in the pretrial phase of a court case, she said. The exception is limited only to material witnesses in the pretrial phase of a criminal proceeding, rather than during a grand jury probe, she said.
"Detaining Awadallah solely for the purposes of a grand jury investigation was therefore unlawful." Scheindlin wrote. "Such an interpretation poses the threat of making detention the norm and liberty the exception."
Scheindlin cited the case of Abdallah Higazy, an Egyptian-born student arrested Dec. 17 as a material witness after a pilot radio was found in his Sept. 11 hotel room overlooking the World Trade Center. Charges were dropped when it was later found that the radio belonged to someone else and a hotel security guard had lied.
Scheindlin said that in Awadallah's case, a magistrate in San Diego not only ignored pertinent portions of the statute but added language to keep Awadallah imprisoned.
FBI agents confronted Awadallah outside his San Diego home on Sept. 20 and detained him a day later as a high-security prisoner. Awadallah was charged with perjury, accused of lying about his knowledge of one of the hijackers in the suicide attack on the Pentagon.
In grand jury appearances, Awadallah admitted meeting hijacker Nawaf al-Hazmi 30 to 40 times but denied knowing associate Khalid al-Mihdhar. Confronted with an exam booklet in which he had written the name Khalid, he later admitted he knew both of them.
If convicted, Awadallah could have gotten up to 10 years in prison.
NEW YORK - Saudi Arabia is spending millions on a television ad campaign aimed at bolstering its image with Americans, but some cable channels are declining to run the spots.
The Associated Press
Saudi ads run in America
The ads began running last week, coinciding with the U.S. visit of Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah, who met with President Bush at his ranch in Texas. They feature images of U.S. leaders meeting with Saudi officials and quotes from Bush and Secretary of State Colin Powell showing support for the country.
The ads, depicting Saudi Arabia as a close friend of the United States, carry the tag lines "The People of Saudi Arabia: Allies Against Terrorism" and "The People of Saudi Arabia: Allies For Peace."
The multimillion dollar ad campaign is running in 20 major cities across the country, according to Michael
Petruzzello said the firm has had no problem getting the ads on the air in the markets where they wanted them to be shown.
Petruzzello, a managing partner at the Washington public relations firm Qorvis Communications, which is handling the campaign.
But Matthew Frankel, a spokesman for the cable network company Rainbow Media Group, said yesterday the company's Bravo channel had been approached about the ads and declined to run them. Frankel declined to say why Bravo turned down the ads or to provide other details.
USA Network and Sci-Fi Channel, which are under the same owner and share an advertising department, also declined to run the ads, said John Kelley, a spokesman for USA Network. He also declined to say why the ads were turned down.
Electronic Media, a trade journal covering the television
industry, reported in its Monday editions that several other cable networks also turned down the ads, including A&E. The History Channel, Lifetime, and The Weather Channel.
A spokesman for A&E and The History Channel declined to comment, and spokeswomen for Lifetime and The Weather Channel did not return phone calls seeking comment.
Petruzzello said the ads were intended to run on regional TV and cable broadcasts, but he said he did not know whether Bravo or other national cable channels mentioned in the Electronic Media article were approached about running the ads.
One of the Qorvis partners working on the project is Judy Smith, a former deputy press secretary to the first President Bush. Qorvis is being paid $200,000 a month by the Saudi government, Petruzzello said.
ST. PAUL, Minn. — In yet another tangle with the Legislature, Gov. Jesse Ventura threatened to close the governor's mansion at the end of the work day yesterday because of budget cuts imposed by lawmakers.
Ventura wants to close state mansion
The Associated Press
The former professional wrestler said that lawmakers left him no choice but to close the 20-room, English Tudor residence when they cut his spending and reduced his security budget.
"I don't know how they can possibly force me to keep it open without the funding," said Ventura, adding that he takes "no great joy" in shutting down "one the perks that make you want to do these
iobs."
Attorney General Mike Hatch issued an opinion yesterday saying state law requires Ventura to keep the 92-year-old mansion open and available for ceremonial purposes. But Ventura called that an opinion and said he planned to go ahead with the closing.
Ventura and his wife, Terry, used the mansion frequently in his first couple years in office, but they now spend most nights at their horse ranch in suburban Maple Grove. Ventura sometimes eats at the mansion and exercises there, and many official functions are held at the home.
Trying to close a deficit estimated at more than $2 billion, lawmakers recently enacted a budget, despite Ventura's veto.
that cuts $1.3 million from his $9.3 million office and security budgets. Ventura's aides said it would take $375,000 to run the mansion through the end of June 2003.
Some lawmakers said Ventura, a political independent, was retaliating by targeting a state symbol like the mansion.

Jessie Ventura
Rep. Matt Entenza said he and other lawmakers may go to court and seek an injunction if Ventura closed the mansion.
Charity accused of perjury, terrorism links to al-Qaida
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — An Islamic charity and its director were charged with perjury yesterday and accused by the FBI of supporting terrorists who tried to obtain nuclear weapons for Osama bin Laden and plotted to assassinate the pope.
Federal agents said the Benevolence International Foundation had links to bin Laden going back decades and gave sizable amounts of cash to his al-Qaida terrorist network.
The FBI also said that members of al-Qaida have held positions within the charity, and that a man who tried to obtain uranium for bin Laden even listed the charity's Illinois address as his home.
Enaaam M. Arnaout, the head of the charity based in suburban Palos Hills, was arrested at his home yesterday. The 39-year-old Syrian-born naturalized American was ordered held for a hearing May 7.
This complaint alleges Benev
olence International Foundation was supporting violence secretly," U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald said.
An attorney for the charity, Matthew Piers, did not immediately return a call.
The foundation is one of two Chicago-area Islamic charities whose assets were frozen Dec. 14 on suspicion of supporting terrorism. Federal agents also raided their offices that day. The cofounder of Global Relief Foundation, the other organization, is being held on an immigration charge.
Both groups have sued the government, denying they have anything to do with terrorism and asking that their assets be released.
According to an FBI affidavit, the Benevolence International Foundation had links to people involved in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, a plot to bomb U.S. airlines and the plan to assassinate Pope John Paul II.
The affidavit does not accuse
Anaout or the charity of involvement in the plots. But it says they lied about their ties to terrorists who were involved.
Brochures for Benevolence International describe it as a humanitarian organization "dedicated to helping those afflicted by wars and natural disasters" in Afghanistan and other countries. IRS reports show that it received $3.3 million in contributions for the year ending April 2000.
The FBI affidavit said that Benevolence International was founded in the 1980s by Saudi sheik Adil Abdul Galil Batargy, a bin Laden associate, and that control of the group was later given to Arnaout.
Several unidentified witnesses told authorities that al-Qaida members have held positions within the charity and that the group was used by bin Laden in the early 1990s to transfer money, the affidavit said.
tion sponsored Salim's visa for a 1998 visit to Bosnia and sponsored him for housing there. He now awaits trial in New York on charges of conspiring to kill Americans.
The affidavit said bin Laden associate Mamdouh Salin "participated in efforts to obtain nuclear and chemical weapons for al-Qaida." It said the founda-
The FBI also said another person, Mohamed Bayazid, was given approval by Salim to try to "get uranium for al-Qaida to develop a nuclear weapon." The affidavit said Bayazid obtained an Illinois driver's license that listed the charity's Palos Hills office as his home address.
During a March 19 raid on the foundation's offices in Bosnia, authorities found guns, military manuals and a fake passport as well as photos of bin Laden and of Arnaout "handling rifles, a shoulder-fired rocket and an anti-aircraft gun," the affidavit said.
The FBI said bin Laden trusted Arnaout, citing a time in 1989 when Arnaout lived in Pakistan and allowed one of bin Laden's wives to live in his apartment for a week.
In other terrorism-related developments yesterday:
A Somali man arrested last fall in a government crackdown on money transfer businesses was convicted in Boston of operating without a state license. No terrorism charges were filed against Mohamed Hussein, though investigators say al-Qaida skimmed from the millions of dollars that annually flow overseas through money outlets like the one Hussein operated.
A federal judge in New York threw out a perjury indictment against a 21-year-old Jordanian college student who knew two of the Sept. 11 hijackers. The judge declared that the government's practice of jailing material witnesses in the Sept. 11 grand jury investigation is unconstitutional.
The government said courts approved 954 warrants last year for secret wireset and searches of suspected terrorists and spies, a decline from 1,003 in 2000. Under the new Patriot Act, the government does not have to seek as many warrants since they do not expire as quickly and can be used in some cases across jurisdictions.

Palestinians leave church, standoff
The Associated Press
BETHELHEM, West Bank — Twenty-six Palestinian civilians and police emerged one by one yesterday from the Church of the Nativity, the largest group to leave one of Christianity's holiest shrines since the monthlong standoff began between Israel's army and a group of armed militants inside.
Israel, meanwhile, defied the United Nations and blocked an inquiry into fighting at the Jenin refugee camp where Palestinians claim Israeli soldiers conducted a massacre of civilians
in eight days of house-to-house fighting.
U. N. diplomats said Secretary-General Kofi Annan was leaning toward disbanding the mission. Annan said he had done everything possible to meet Israeli demands to modify the mission.
In the West Bank town of Jericho, U.S. and British security experts toured the local prison yesterday in another step in a U.S.-backed deal designed to release Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat from months of Israeli confinement.
Six Palestinians who are
wanted by Israel and are holed up in Arafat's besieged headquarters in the West Bank town of Ramallah would be moved to the Jericho prison under U.S. and British supervision, paving the way for Arafat to leave his compound. Palestinian officials said the prisoner transfer could take place within 24 hours, but Israel said there was no agreed upon timetable.
U. S. and British security experts met with Palestinian officials in Ramallah late yesterday to finalize the technical details of the prisoner transfer
Yarden Vatikay, an adviser to
Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Elezer, said Israel would not withdraw tanks from Arafat's compound until he received word from U.S. officials that the prisoners were in jericho.
Late yesterday, a 2-year-old girl was killed when Israeli tanks opened fire near the Gaza-Egypt border, witnesses and a Palestinian doctor said. Israelimilitarysources said militants set off an explosive and soldiers fired a tank shell, hitting one of the bombers.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan Gen. Pervez Musharraf moved toward winning five more years as Pakistan's president in a nationwide referendum yesterday, although the apparent low voter turnout could weaken his authority in cracking down on Islamic extremism.

Opposition political parties criticized the referendum as unconstitutional but lost their legal effort to prevent yesterday's vote. Then they called for a voter boycott.
Information Minister Nisar Memon predicted a voter turnout of about 30 percent, down from the 38 percent in the 1997 general elections. More than 60 million people were eligible to vote.

COMMENTARY
Bohl can learn to build baseball from Nebraska
Kansas baseball is at a crossroads.
The season has not ended, yet Al Bohl, athletics director, must focus on the future. This should be the last of seven excruciating years under Bobby Randall, during which the Jayhawk baseball program has free-fallen into a permanent spot in the Big 12 Conference cellar.
The questions now are what direction does the program take? And beyond that, how committed is Kansas to winning in baseball?
Well, Bohl has adamantly reiterated that he is striving to make Kansas competitive in every sport. Baseball gives him the first chance to prove it, and he doesn't need to look far to ask for advice.
Fellow Big 12 member Nebraska stared down the barrel of the same hapless-baseball gun five years ago.
After the 1997 season, Nebraska's baseball program was in a sorry state, as Kansas' is now. The Nebraska athletics department lost almost $700,000 on baseball alone in 1997, and the thought of a winning baseball program to most in Lincoln was ludicrous. The program struggled to win only 31 games in 1996 and 1997 combined, fired coach John Sanders and looked for a new coach, a new program and, basically, a new identity.
The consensus rule of thought now, and at the time, was that winning in college baseball in the Midwest was impossible especially when a program needed to rebuild. College baseball success belonged in California, Texas, Louisiana and Florida critics would claim, not the Midwest.
Wichita State was, and continues to be with the 'Huskers, the one consistent exception to the rule (Kansas' 1993 College World Series run is a one-year exception).
But Nebraska athletics director Bill Byrne had a vision. It was a vision sparkled with packed crowds, potential major league talent and NCAA Tournament berths. Byrne knew where the vision had to be born and that was at the top, at the head coach position.
Byrne found his man, Dave Van Horn, at Northwestern State in Natchitoches, La. The move surprised fans in Lincoln, but not nationwide. Byrne searched for a crafty, savvy, no-nonsense coach who knew baseball and badly wanted to win.
And he got nothing less. Fans and players alike fell in love with him. He recruited competitively in-state and nationally.
And then, the 'Huskers started winning.
The next season, Nebraska finished at .500. The year after, the 'Huskers qualified for the NCAA Tournament. The year after that, they came one game away from the College World Series. And last year, the 'Huskers made it to Omaha.
Now, Nebraska has built a new ballpark and is averaging more almost 4,000 fans per game.
A quick turnaround for a then-dead program, don't you think?
The same thing can happen here, if Bohl is smart enough to go after it. We need a coach who will recruit for today's game. College baseball is like the American League. You just sit around and wait for the three-run home run these days. It's a power game. Randall is still recruiting to bunt, the steal and manufacture runs. That's not the game anymore.
The ball is in Bohl's court. He needs to scout for coaches from all over the country, including smaller-schools in the South, and form a search committee that truly knows baseball. Heck, he should even call Byrne and ask him how he did it. Because Byrne will tell him all about how success happened at Nebraska.
And success can happen here at Kansas, too.

'Hawks extinguish Flame
It was certainly a homecoming to remember.
Freshman pitcher Tom Gorzelanny earned his first collegiate victory, and sophomore outfield Matt Tribble went 2-for-4 with two RBI as Kansas beat Illinois-Chicago 8-4 last night at Les Miller Field, overlooking the downtown Chicago skyline.
Gorzelanny and Tribble, both Chicago natives, played significant roles in the Jayhawk victory, with friends and family looking on.
"Tom and Matt did very well," coach
Bobby Randall said. "They had a pretty big fan club here."
Kansas improves to 18-23 on the season, winning two of its last three. Illinois-Chicago dropped to 27-10.
Tribble, returning to the lineup after

catch in the third inning.
Gorzelanny, in five innings of work,
allowed just one run on six hits. He struck out two, one being Flame junior Curtis Granderson, who was leading the nation with a .521
batting average going into last night's game.
"We were trying to change speeds on
him," Randall said. "He hit some balls awfully hard. He's a great player, and I think we slowed him down a bit."
The Jayhawks led by as many as seven, but an eighth-inning rally by UIC cut the deficit to four. Senior pitcher Randy Strann was able to shut the Flame down in the ninth, and helped give Kansas just its sixth road win of the season.
"We played an excellent game defensively and offensively," Randall said.

Yesterday's round of the Big 12 championship brought some relief for the struggling golf team. Junior Chris Marshall was the top finisher for Kansas, earning a three-round total of 217 and a tie for 13th place.
Monday's first two rounds at the Big 12 Championships in Hutchinson for the Kansas men's golf team brought the cloud, but the silver lining appeared in yesterday's final round.
After 36 holes on Monday, the Jayhawks were in 11th place as a team, and their top solo finisher was senior Travis Hurst who was in a tie for 23rd place. Yesterday, the team could not do much to improve its standing, but junior Chris Marshall stormed through the pack in the third round with a 68 to finish in a tie for 13th place. Kansas finished 10th overall, with a score of 895.
Texas came into yesterday's action in second place behind Oklahoma University. The Longhorns' were able to pull ahead of the Sooners in the third round, and pulled out their first ever Big 12 Championship with a score of 850, one stroke ahead of Oklahoma State's 851, and Oklahoma dropped to third with a total of 853.
Marshall was the top finisher for Kansas with a three-round total of 217, landing him in a tie for 13th place. Senior Travis Hurst slipped six spots from Monday's action with a final round score of 75, putting him in a tie for 29th place, and giving him an overall score of 223. Senior Casey Harbour ended up tied in 42nd place with a three-round total of 228. Sophomore Tyler Hall, competing in his first Big 12 Championship, finished with a score of 231, and was tied for 49th place. Redshirt freshman Andrew Price was tied for 56th place with a score of 236.
The tournament's individual winner was Anders Hultman of Oklahoma State, who made his third round charge to defeat Oklahoma's John Kidwell in a sudden death playoff, with both players finishing with 54-hole totals of 203. Jason Hartwick of Texas finished third after a final round 71, giving him a total of 208
The Jayhawks will learn their fate for the rest of the season during next week when the NCAA selection committee will announce whether or not the Jayhawks will compete at the South Central Regional held in Little Rock, Arkansas May 16 to 18.

Rowers ready for current to change

Rv Brent Wasko
Despite high expectations, the Kansas rowing team has struggled this season — the first varsity eight-boat hasn't yet won a race. Coach Rob Catloth said he would change boat lineups in hopes of finding a rhythm at the All-Big 12 Invitational on Saturday in Austin, Texas.
Kansan sportswriter
High expectations have taken a toll on the Kansas rowing team.
This spring, a lot was expected of the Jayhawks, who had finished in the top 25 for three straight years, including its highest ranking of 20th in 2000. Kansas returned a majority of its team from last season, including 11 seniors and six rowers who had experience in the first varsity eight-boat.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
But the team has been relying heavily on its sophomore class in an attempt to continue its success this season, and the results haven't been particularly positive.
The fayhawks' first varsity eight-boat hasn't won a race all season. When that boat doesn't win, it is nearly impossible for the team to defeat anyone.
At most regattas, the second varsity eight-boat, first varsity four-boat and second varsity four-boat have the opportunity to earn points needed for the team to claim victory. But none of those boats can accumulate nearly as many points as the first varsity eight-
boat.
Coach Rob Catloth is looking for ways to add speed to the first varsity eight-boat, but he said there were no easy answers.
"It's not like we're really slow, but we are just trying to find the best group of people to race together. With a young team, that takes a little work." Catloth said, referring to the heavy use of sophomores.
Catloth has tried changing the team's race strategy and has moved rowers around to different boats,
"We've tried to stay as positive as we can, and we've tried to build as much confidence in them as we can," Catloth said. "I think we have been pressing a little harder, trying to make it happen instead of letting it happen."
hoping to find the right combination that would propel his top boat to victory. But the first varsity eight-boat has continued to struggle.

Morris has high scores in decathlon
By Matt Norton Kansan sportswriter
Morris was competing in his first decathlon since June 2000 at the NCAA championships.
When senior Andy Morris stepped into the starting blocks for the 100-meter dash last Wednesday at the Drake Relays, he had no idea what would be in store during the two-day decathlon.
---
Andy Morris
He redshirted last season and, after suffering an eight-centimeter tear from the tissue connecting his calf muscle to his Achilles tendon last fall and pulling a hamstring this winter, missed all of the indoor season and
most of the outdoor campaign so far.
Morris said he knew he wasn't yet ready to attack the second day because of a lack of preparation time.
"I worked out in the pool all winter," Morris said. "Apparently, I was in a lot better shape than I thought I was. After the first day, I had to change my perspective about the second day."
But after the first day of competition in Des Moines, Ia., Morris was in first place with 3,957 points, more than 100 points better than he had ever compiled in the first day's events.
Morris finished second to defending U.S. champion Kip Janvrin with a NCAA provisional mark of 7,143 points.
"I wanted to see if I could get through one in one piece and how many points I could get," Morris said. "After day one, I thought I'd go after it."
He hadn't started practicing the throwing events until early April, and has had only a few high jump and pole vault practices sprinkled throughout the season.
The second day, which consists of the 110-meter hurdles, pole vault, discus and javelin throws and the 1,500 meters, wears down even the best-conditioned athletes.
Jumps coach Brian Ferry said that the poor weather at Drake, combined with Morris' lack of conditioning, led to poorer-than-normal marks in the pole vault and high jump that prevented him from gaining an automatic qualifying mark.
"In the pole vault, the winds were swirling and my legs were tired," Morris said. "I don't know if have enough experience jumping to handle that wind."
Even though he was battling time at this point, Morris said he still believed he could achieve the main goal he set for himself when he came to Kansas: to become an All-American.
Morris said he thought 7,400 points would get him into the NCAA championships, and with an extra inch or two

Jaguars extend coach's contract

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Tom Coughlin signed a one-year contract extension yesterday that will keep him as coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars through 2004.
perfect fit.
The contract sat unsigned on Coughlin's desk for almost four months, following owner Wayne Weaver's announcement that he and the coach agreed in principle to an extension.
Weaver made that announcement Jan. 4, the same night Steve Spurrier resigned from the University of Florida and rumors spread that he was coming to the Jaguars. Jacksonville is a big Florida town and many Jaguars fans thought Spurrier would be a
But Weaver wants Coughlin to carry the team through its rebuilding phase, induced by a salary-cap mess the Jaguars and Coughlin got themselves into over the last several seasons.
The owner is making the rare move of offering an extension to a coach coming off two straight losing seasons (7-9 and 6-10).
"I have made it clear that Tom Coughlin is the right coach for our football team," Weaver said. "This extension is evidence of my belief in him and my confidence that he will succeed in reaching our goals."
Coughlin has had final say on all personnel moves since he took the job. Weaver has been more active in personnel decisions this offseason, but last week, Coughlin said the contract extension didn't call for any changes in his role.
Coughlin is the only coach Jacksonville has had. He's 66-54 in his seven seasons. He led the Jaguars to the AFC championship game in 1996, the team's second year of existence, then again in 1999.
"I'm grateful for Wayne's trust, and have assured him that we are committed to getting back in position to win a championship," Coughlin said.
Of the NFLs 32 head coaches, only Bill Cowher of Pittsburgh (10 seasons) has been coaching the same team longer.

SOFTBALL Texas player named Big 12 Pitcher of the Week
DALLAS — Texas pitcher Cat Osterman of Texas threw her third perfect game of the season last weekend against Oklahoma State and has been named Big 12 Softball Pitcher of the Week for a record seventh time this season.
Osterman improved to 30-7 overall with three victories in three appearances last week. Osterman pitched seven innings in the Longhorns' 1-0 victory against No. 24 Texas A&M, allowing one hit and one walk while fanning 10 batters. The Houston, Texas, lefthander then hurled her third perfect game of the season in the first game of the weekend against Oklahoma State helping Texas clinch the Big 12 regular season title and the No. 1 seed in the Big 12 Conference Tournament. She recorded 15 strikeouts in seven innings while not allowing a ball to leave the infield.
BASEBALL Knee surgery ousts player for rest of season
ATLANTA—Atlanta Braves outfielder-first baseman B.J. Surhoff will have surgery on his right knee and miss the remainder of the season.
The Braves said yesterday that additional tests confirmed that Surhoff had a torn ligament. The left handed hitter had undergone an MRI on Sunday.
Surgery is expected within two weeks, the Braves said.
Surhoff injured the wall when he ran into the right-field wall Saturday night in the ninth inning of a 6-3 loss to the Houston Astros.
Surhoff was placed on the disabled list. He did not accompany the team to Milwaukee for a three-game series beginning yesterday, instead returning to his home in Baltimore.
COLLEGE SPORTS Iowa university may drop some sports to save costs
DES MOINES, Iowa — The University of Northern Iowa is looking at dropping some sports as one way to head off a deficit in the athletic department's budget.
Athletic director Rick Hartzell said numerous cuts already had been made and the department had done everything it could think of to raise money, but revenue was still falling short of expenses.
"I would say that right now everything is on the table, from personnel reductions to sport reductions to reductions within some sports," Hartzell said yesterday.
Hartzell was speaking by cell phone during a six-hour drive to St. Louis, Mo., for a Missouri Valley Conference meeting. He drove to save $600 in airfare.
"That's the kind of thing we're facing," he said.
Northern Iowa operates 18 sports on a budget projected at $6.6 million for the current year.
As part of its cost-saving measures, Hartzell said the university had fewer scholarships than allowed in all men's sports except football, basketball and wrestling.
He also said the department probably would put a limit on squad size in all men's sports, including football, and would hold the line on coaches' salaries.

"It's a wonderful setting to play in."
Junior designated hitter Kevin Wheeler went 4-for-4 with his team-leading eighth home run, and freshman catcher Cole Armstrong added a homerun of his own to propel the Jayhawks, who are now 9-1 all-time against UIC.
Kansas finishes the midweek series today at 1 p.m.
Senior Jeff Davis (5-3) will start on the mound for Kansas,
which will be looking for its first series sweep since playing Wisconsin-Milwaukee in February.
Kansas goes into today's game with momentum on its side — thanks to two natives of enemy grounds.

Horse-trainers pose triple threat
By Richard Rosenblatt The Associated Press
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — They are the training trifecta, three names horseplayers can't ignore if they're serious about picking the Kentucky Derby winner.
D. Wayne Lukas, Bob Baffert and Nick Zito might not have the right horse in their barn every year — it just seems that way. The three have a total of eight Derby victories in the last 14 years, including three times in which the winner nearly went on to win the Triple Crown.
This year they almost got shut out. That hasn't happened to all three of them in the same year since Baffert joined Lukas and Zito on the Derby trail in 1996.
But in the final weeks leading up to Saturday's $1 million race, funny things happened on the way to Churchill Downs:
Baffert's in with War Emblem after Prince Ahmed Salman of Saudi Arabia bought the Illinois Derby winner for him on April 11.
Lukas is in because his last hope — Proud Citizen — won the Lexington Stakes on April 20. Naturally, he took a poke at Bafert: "And we didn't have to go buy one."
Zito probably will be out officially today, the day of the draw, because neither Crimson Hero nor Straight Gin earned enough money to qualify for an expected full 20-horse field.
"Who would have thought this?" Zito began. "The prince buys a horse for Baffert, Wayne wins in the 11th hour and I'm waiting on the fence, without much chance. What happened just shows how hard it is to keep coming back to this race." The past two years, there's been a
slight dropoff for Lukas, Baffert and Zito — no Derby victories, and Lukas' record streak of 20 years with at least one starter ended in 2001.
Neither Baffert nor Lukas will be among the favorites in the 11/4-mile Derby, but who cares? Lukas won with 31-1 shot Charismatic in '99, and 24-1 shot Thunder Gulch in '95. Baffert won with 8-1 choice Real Quiet in '98.
Baffert, though, rebounded nicely in '01 when Point Given — his beaten Derby favorite — won the Preakness and Belmont Stakes and Horse of the Year honors.
Both are cautiously optimistic.
"We had to have everything fall exactly into place," Lukas said of Proud Citizen, his record 39th Derby starter, who was seventh in the Santa Anita Derby before the Lexington. "But if I don't screw him up in the next few days, we're going to be tough."

Royals lose to Tigers
The Associated Press
DETROIT—Steve Sparks pitched a two-hitter, and Damian Jackson drove in four runs as the Detroit Tigers beat the Kansas City Royals 9-3 last night, spoiling John Mizerock's managerial debut.
hitzock was promoted from bullpen coach to interim manager by the Royals, whose firing of Tony Mayer raised baseball's total firings to a record four in the season's first month.
KC
R
Royals
The 41-year-old became the youngest manager in the majors, and replaced the losingest manager in Kansas City history.
The move didn't translate into momentum for the Ravals.
Sparks (2-2) retired 13 of the first 15 batters and didn't give up a hit until A.J. Hinch's triple in the fifth. He then retired 13 straight until Carlos Beltran homered with two outs in the ninth.
Sparks walked two and struck out three in his first complete game of the year. The knuckleballer led the majors last year with eight complete games.
Jose Macias was 3-for-3 with two walks and two runs.
The Tigers are 8-6 since beginning the season 0-11, the fifth-worst start since 1900.
Chris George (0-2) gave up four runs, eight hits and two walks in five innings.
Bobby Higginson's RBI single gave the Tigers a 1-0 lead in the first.
The Royals tied the game on Raul Ibanez's sacrifice fly in the second, but Detroit went back ahead, 2-1, in the home half on Macias' single.
Royals' manager fired; bullpen coach promoted
The Associated Press
DETROIT — Bullpen coach John Mizerock was promoted to interim manager yesterday by the Kansas City Royals, whose firing of Tony Muser raised the majors' total to a record four in the season's first month.
Muser, the losingest manager in team history, was told of the decision by general manager Allard Baird early yesterday. His firing came after the Royals (8-15) beat the Tigers 4-0 Monday night. Muser was in the final year of his contract.
Baird said Mizerock was being considered for the manager's job on a permanent basis. The GM said there was no timetable for filling that position.
"Everybody understands the circumstances, the mood of our fans," Muser said. "They need a change. It's just a part of this business. Managers are hired to be fired. I understand it, and life goes on. The most important thing is the success of the organization."
The 41-year-old Mizerock is in his 11th season with the Royals, but his first with the major league club as bullpen coach.
He had a record of 646-554 in nine seasons as a minor league manager at every level of the organization.
"He has a history with a lot of the guys on the major league level and throughout our organization," Baird said. "As an organization, we felt that we were not succeeding. It was the right time."
Muser was 317-431 (424) since taking over midway through the 1997 season. He has the lowest winning percentage of anyone who has managed at least one full season with the team.
Mizerock was a catcher for parts of four seasons, three with Houston and one with Atlanta. He managed rookie league in Eugene, Ore., in 1992-93; Class A Midwest League in Rockford in 1994, Class AA Texas League at Wichita in 1999. He won league titles in 1996 at Class A Wilmington and in 1999 in Wichita.
Since 1900, there had never been more than two managers fired in the season's first month, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Phil Garner was let go by Detroit on April 9, Milwaukee
fired Davey Lopes on April 18, and Colorado fired Buddy Bell last Friday. All four teams have seen large attendance drops. The Royals are down about 4,500 a game through 14 home dates.
Boston fired Joe Kerrigan during spring training.
Muser, who was ejected in the third inning Monday night, did not learn of his dismissal until he got back to his hotel room about midnight and called Baird.
"It was very, very emotional. It was very difficult for Allard," Muser said. "I respect Allard Baird as much as I respect any man I've ever met in baseball."
With the Royals off to another poor start, Muser faced a torrent of criticism from fans and media.
A 2-7 homestand that ended with a three-game sweep by Baltimore on Sunday gave the Royals a league-worst 4-10 home record.
"It's a business, very competitive," Muser said. "These things happen. I'm not as ashamed. I did the best I could possibly do, and life goes on. I'm a baseball guy and I'm proud of it. I wish this organization the best."
Rovster retitled official Brewers manager
MILWAUKEE — Jerry Royster moved into the manager's office at Miller Park yesterday, something he had refused to do until the "interim" tag was removed from his title.
The Associated Press
"Now, I'm the manager. I have to sit in there. The guys need me in there." Royster said after general manager Dean Taylor put him in charge of the Milwaukee Brewers for the rest of the season.
"I even parked in the manager's parking spot. I did everything. I'm the manager."
Royster, 49, was promoted from bench coach to interim manager after Davey Lopes was ousted April 18, and he won his first four games before dropping six straight on the road.
"In the last three weeks, I've had three titles," Royster said. "And this is the one I like the best."
Rovster said he had "big, big, big
plans" for the Brewers, who haven't been to the playoffs in 20 years and haven't had a winning season in 10.
Royster, the 12th manager in club history, swore he wasn't concerned about the lack of a long-term commitment.
"If I do my job, then I'll get an extension," he said. "And if I don't do it, then I don't expect it. I don't want them to give me anything. I want to earn it.
"I have no concerns about how
long I'm going to be the manager. I had to wait a long time to become a manager. I'm not going to sit and wonder how long I'm going to be there."
Taylor said the timing wasn't right to give Royster a contract beyond 2002.
"We're keeping our options open," he said. "I've got a lot of confidence in Jerry Roster. I think he's the right man for the job. I think he's going to do a fine job."
Philadelphia coach fired,blamed for team's collapse
The Associated Press
VOORHEES, N.J. — Bill Barber was fired by the Philadelphia Flyers yesterday, one day after players blamed the coach for the team's collapse in the first round of the playoffs for the second straight year.
General manager Bob Clarke said veteran players lost respect for Barber.
"We just felt that there was no way of being able to heal the wounds that had developed between the coach and the players." Clarke said.
Assistant coaches Mike Stothers and E.J. McGuire also were fired
P
Clarke said Barber would be offered another job in the organization.
Barber, the NHL's coach of the year last season, is the fifth coach the Flyers have let go since 1997. It is the sixth coaching change Clarke has made since returning to Philadelphia as GM in 1994, but his job is safe.
"What I'm looking for in a general manager is someone to put a team together that I think can win the Stanley Cup, and that's what he did," team chairman Ed Snider said. "Now because we didn't win it, do I change my mind? None of our players lived up to expectations."
The Flyers won the Atlantic Division with 97 points, earning the No.2 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. They lost a best-of-seven series to the No.7-seeded Ottawa Senators in five games, scoring a record-low total of just two goals.
With a payroll of $55.5 million and a roster that included seven All-Stars and three former 50-goal scorers, Philadelphia was a favorite to reach the Stanley Cup finals.
"We let down the city, the fans and the players," Snider said.
Barber was criticized Monday by several players, including captain Keith Primeau.
"We had the worst power play in the league, why are we not practicing it?" Primeau said. "All season long we said if someone makes a mistake, they're getting yelled at.
"We say when we come to the bench, make that adjustment. He wants the player to make the adjustment. Our job is to play. I felt like I was having to make the adjustments on the bench. I don't feel that's part of my job description."
A member of Philadelphia's only Stanley Cup championship teams in 1974 and 1975, Barber played his entire 12-year career with the Flyers, was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1990 and has been with the organization for 30 years.

French skating judge suspended
The Associated Press
LAUSANNE, Switzerland The French judge and federation chief at the center of the Olympic figure skating scandal were suspended for three years yesterday and banned from the 2006 Winter Games.
The rulings against judge Marie-Reine Le Gougne and French skating head Didier Gallhaguet were announced after a two-day hearing of the International Skating Union council.
Le Gougne denounced the hearings as a "masquerade" and said she and Gaillaguet would appeal the findings of misconduct.
They were accused of manipulating the scoring of the pairs skating competition at the Salt Lake City Games, a controversy that led to the unprecedented awarding of duplicate gold medals.
Le Gougne was suspended indefinitely by the ISU in Salt Lake City after initially declaring that she voted for Russians Elena Berezhnya and Anton
Sikharulidze under pressure from Gailhauet.
Le Gougne later recanted the accusations, saying she had been under emotional distress and was harassed by ISU officials into making false claims against Gallaguet.
Based on Le Gougne's alleged misconduct, the ISU threw out the judges' marks and gave duplicate golds to Canadians Jamie Sale and David Pelletier.
The suspensions, effective immediately, end April 30, 2005, but Le Gougne and Gailhaguet also will have to miss the next Winter Olympics, in Turin, Italy, in 2006.
"We went through the papers, we went through the evidence and then we decided," ISU president Ottavio Cinquanta said. "We are more than confident we took the right decision."
Gailhaguet was sanctioned on the charge of instructing Le Gougne to give first place to the Russians.
Cinquanta said the council found Le Gougne guilty of misconduct on two counts — voting for the Russian pair on Gailhaguet's orders and not reporting Gailhaguet to the ISU for his pressure tactics.
Le Gougne and Gailhaguet both denied any wrongdoing and sought to clear their names. But they claimed they didn't get a fair hearing, maintaining the ISU stacked the case against them to justify the decision to give second gold medals.
"It was a masquerade," Le Gougne said after the ruling. "It is scandalous. My most basic rights of defense were denied. They have decapitated me from the start."
Le Gougne and Gailhaguet have 28 days to file an appeal. They first have to go through the ISU's internal appeals process. After that, the case could go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne.
"They won't stop me now," she said. "I have nothing more to lose. I will fight this to the end."
Le Gougne threatened to make revelations about the ISU and the way the sport is run.
13 witnesses, almost all of whom had made allegations against Le Gougne or Gallihuet.
"This hearing was arranged in a totally biased way," Le Gouge said as she awaited the ruling. "It was totally unfair. The ISU only wanted to justify the awarding of the second gold medals. I've been the scapegoat from the beginning."
She, Gailhaguet and their lawyers complained the ISU did not call the other four judges who voted for the Russian pair as witnesses. The only two event judges who testified were Canada's Bernard Lavoie and Germany's Sissy Krik, both of whom voted for the Canadians.
Gaillaguet's lawyer, Alexander Brabant, called the proceedings a "kangaroo court."
The ISU heard testimony from
On Tuesday, the council heard testimony from two judges, Switzerland's Christine Blanc and France's Alain Miquel, who have accused Le Gougne and Gallhaguet of improprieties, and from Gailhaguet's American driver during the Salt Lake Games.
Memphis Grizzlies hire new president
The Associated Press
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Jerry West joined the Memphis Grizzlies as president of basketball operations yesterday in a multi-year deal worth about $5 million a season.
The 63-year-old West is entrusted with reviving the franchise with the worst winning percentage, .229, in NBA history.
He retired from the Los Angeles Lakers in August 2000, after four decades with the franchise as a player and executive. He helped the team win seven NBA championships, one as a player.
"Retirement was not what I thought it would be." West said.
"Watching NBA games in the last year rekindled my interest, and I am excited again about being involved in basketball — something that I love to do so much."
MOMPHIS
GRIZANES
Grizzlies majority owner
Michael Heisley pursued West after firing general manager Billy Knight one and 1/2 weeks ago. The Grizellies ended their second straight 23-59 season.
The Grizzlies do have two young players to build around:
"After being a part of the Lakers' success
Pau Gasol and Shane Battier, the leading vote-getters for the NBA All-Rookie team announced Monday. "After he
for so many years, I have always wondered how it would be to build a winning team that has not experienced much success," West said. "I want to help make a difference."
Coach Sidney Lowe, who is expected to return next season, said he looked "forward both to working with and learning from Jerry West."
Dick Versace, who was head of basketball operations, will replace Knight as general manager.
Spurs' player leaves for funeral
The Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — Tim Duncan will miss Game 4 of the Spurs' playoff series against the Super-Sonics because of his father's death and leave the team without both of its formidable 7-footers.
David Robinson will not be in uniform for the third straight playoff game after straining his lower back late in the regular season.
Duncan left Monday's practice early after hearing that his father, William, had been hospitalized after a long illness. The elder
SAN ANTONIO
SRVS
Duncan died later that day in North Carolina.
San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said yesterday that his star forward "will rejoin the team as soon as he can, but he will not be in Seattle for Wednesday's game."
Duncan, on the short list of
contenders for the NBA's MVP award, led San Antonio with 25.5 points and 12.7 rebounds.
Robinson, who appeared only briefly in Game 1 before his back tightened, knew the Spurs needed his presence in the middle, but not in his current condition.
"I want to be out there, but I also want to be there at a consistent level," he said.
Popovich said the loss of the key players would force him to look further down his roster for quality minutes.

Tech's attendance second best
LUBBOCK, Texas — Bob Knight met his goal of raising interest in Texas Tech men's basketball. He couldn't, however, reach the school's goal of leading the nation in combined average attendance at men's and women's games.
Tech's combined attendance was 26,287, a big jump from the previous year but still 2,238 behind Tennessee, according to figures gathered.
Tennessee's total was 28,525. Connecticut, which featured the
undefeated women's national champions and a men's team that reached a final regional, finished third with 25,825. No other Texas schools were in the top seven. Iowa State was the next-highest Big 12 Conference school, coming in sixth with 22,406.
"It will remain a goal for us and would make a statement for our programs," said Lady Raiders coach Marsha Sharp.
In his first season at Tech, Knight took a team that went 9-21 before he arrived and guided it to a 23-9 finish, earning the Red Raiders an invitation to the
NCAA tournament.
The excitement surrounding Knight, a three-time national champion coach known as much for his fiery personality as his Xs and Os, helped men's attendance jump from 4,185 to 13,742. Knight could not be reached for comment on these figures.
Sharp's team, which went 20-12 in her 20th season, averaged 12.545, just 115 less than last year.
Both teams play in the United Spirit Arena, an on-campus facility with 15,050 seats, plus another 48 courtside seats that were added for men's games this season.

AND YOU SAY THAT 'CHIEF FUR SWEEPER' IS A PROMOTION?
Networks plan Sept.11 specials
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — ABC will set aside its normal programming for a full day and evening on Sept. 11 to commemorate the first anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.
The coverage will begin with Good Morning America at 7 a.m., break for local news in the evening, then continue through Nightline.
"This is the major news event of our lives," ABC News President David Westin said. "This is a real opportunity go to back and comprehensively and systematically put together the facts as we now know them, and put them into some perspective."
NBC News plans a primetime special on Sept. 10 and will have extended coverage of commemorations the following day. Other plans were still being formulated. CBS executives are also discussing their Sept. 11 plans, but have made no announcements.
The 39 million people who watched CBS' 9-11 documentary on March 10 indicates there's interest in looking back at the tragedy, or at feast at the insider camera view that special offered. CBS has the contractual right to show 9-11 once more, and it's widely assumed it will be in September.
ABC News' tackling of major projects with extended programming has become something of a signature. The network drew high ratings for its marathon coverage for New Year's 2000.
The network will broadcast memorials on Sept. 11, and will present a prime-time minute-by-minute reconstruction of what happened a year earlier. Peter Jennings is also scheduled to moderate a discussion with children, similar to what he did last September.
Westin said ABC would use restraint in broadcasting disturbing images from that day, and would warn viewers if some are used. He wouldn't predict how popular the daylong special would be.
"The better way of looking at it is how important it is, and how much do we have to say about it, and the people will decide for themselves," he said.

ROWING
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
March 50 with a significant loss to Texas—by 20 seconds. It took third at the Knecht Cup, finishing 6.3 seconds behind the winner. Boston College. Then the boat lost to nationally ranked Stanford by 11.9 seconds and California by 24.5 seconds. And it was the only Kansas boat to lose a race last Sunday against Kansas State, falling short of the Wildcats by 4 seconds.
Sophomore rower Beth Hickey, who has rowed on the first varsity eight-boat, said the Jayhawks' success the past few seasons might have hurt the team a little this year.
"The pressure was on us in the beginning of the year. It catches up with you after a while. It makes you want to row harder and not necessarily stay with the other rowers in the boat," Hickey said.
Catloth said that for the Big 12 Invitational on Saturday in Austin, Texas, three rowers who had raced with the first varsity eight-boat most of the season would be moved to the second varsity eight-boat, and three other rowers would be bumped up. He would not specify which rowers would be making the change.
Hickey said most of the rowers on the team didn't have any hard feelings about being moved from boat to boat, because they all wanted what was best for the team. She said chemistry on the first varsity eight-boat had been a problem attimes this season.
"We've been working against each other sometimes," Hickey said. "Everybody has a different stroke and feel for the boat. Some of us are having trouble getting a feel for racing, taking their mental and physical approach to a higher level."
Kansas faces Texas. Kansas State, Tulsa and possibly a Texas club team Saturday at the invitational.
Hickey said she thought the first varsity eight-boat was ready to pick up its first victory of the spring. She said the rowers in the boat needed to stay relaxed and to keep a steady rhythm to be successful.
"It would be really huge if we could win a race down there," she said. "The Texas loss was a big blow for us to start the season, and I think it shook up our confidence a little bit. I think we have the confidence now to beat them."

PONTE VEDRA BEACH. Fla. — Parked behind a row of conventional golf carts, the single-rider car, looks like a jet ski on wheels — handle bars instead of a steering wheel, a rack to hold the clubs in front, a seat that rotates 360 degrees.
New golf cart helps disabled players
The Associated Press
Known as "1-PASS," it is available at places such as Pebble Beach, Disney, Doral, and all 21 golf courses in the TPC Network, including Sawgrass, home of the PGA Tour.
It's seldom used, but that's not how its value is measured.
"If we get one person a year using it, then it's worth it for us to have," said Jim Poole, head professional at Sawgrass. "It gives
Built by SoloRider Industries in Colorado and distributed by Augusta, Ga.-based Club Car, the 1-PASS cart has become a vehicle for disabled golfers to enjoy a game they might not otherwise be able to play.
handicapped people an opportunity to play."
For those without use of their legs, it allows them to play without leaving their seats.
One of those golfers is Bob Schmonsees, paralyzed from the waist down after a skiing accident in 1984. A marketing consultant who lives in Potomac, Md., Schmonsees became skilled at wheelchair tennis and continued to ski using special devices.
"I always wondered whether
anybody would come up with something for golf," said the 54-year-old Schmonsees, who played occasionally before his accident. "I had seen a few attempts to take motor scooters and turn them into golf carts, but I didn't think they were robust enough to handle the golf course."
Having seen an early design of SoloRider's cart, S弘monsees was invited to take part in the development of 1-PASS. He now owns two of the carts and plays a couple of times a week on the TPC at Avenel. He has a home just off the 16th fairway.
"The initial reaction is raised eyebrows," Schmonsees said. "Then, everyone is all for it when they see me hit."
Equally impressive is the cart, and the places it is designed to go — tee boxes, greens, bunkers, sidehill lies.
The 1-PASS cart has a 6-inch clearance for greater access around the course, and a low center of gravity and equal weight distribution for stability even on hills.
Perhaps its most important feature is the four-wheel suspension that allows the cart to be driven on greens without doing any damage to the putting surface. It transfers only six to seven pounds of pressure per square inch, half the pressure applied by an average man and significantly less than standard carts.

on his vault and high jump, and a few seconds off his 1,500 time, he should get there.
Ferry said Morris would continue to work on technique in the jumps and throws during the next two weeks leading up to the Big 12 Conference championships. Mav 17-19.
Ferry said. "He could end up being a lot more rested at nationals than some of the guys who did early decathlons."
Morris, who would like to continue training for the decathlon after graduation, said the end of this season would determine if he did continue.
"Andy's such a good athlete, he'll recover after Big 12 's."
The event in the U.S. is ruled by one old man, Janvinir, a 36-
year old, and a horde of younger athletes still trying to attain world-class scores.
"I've competed against a lot of those guys and it would be awesome to keep competing with them," Morris said.
The coaches will also give him as much conditioning as his body can handle, Ferry said.

Students shaky about going home to war, violent acts
By Leah Shaffer Kansan staff writer
"I can't afford getting stuck there with the situation," she said. "It's just going to be very risky."
For some international students, going home for the summer can mean returning to countries where violence occurs almost daily. Those students are faced with the dilemma of wanting to see their families yet not wanting to put themselves in danger.
Abujabr said she worried constantly about her parents and sisters who live in the area. She said her sister's house was close to an Israeli settlement and would often get shelled.
Raja Abujabr, a graduate teaching assistant from Palestinian territories in the Gaza Strip in Israel, said she would be unable to return to there this summer because there would be no guarantee she would get out. Because of Israeli checkpoints, it is very hard to travel anywhere in the area and the borders are tightly sealed. Last night, Israel ended its five-month confinement of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and pulled out of his compound in Ramallah.
"I wake up every morning wondering if they are alive or dead," she said.
In Venezuela, recent political turmoil worries Christina Medina, Maracay, Venezuela sophomore.
"It's a disaster. I'm not very sure if I'll be able to go home," she said.
Venezuela has been in economic turmoil since April 12 when a political coup ousted President Hugo Chavez and an installed an interim government of conservative politicians. The interim government shut down many of the Chavez reforms that would out land to peasants. However, two days later, thousands of protesters swept Chavez back into power, much to the dismay of wealthier classes who thought his laws would wreck the already fragile economy. But thousands of Venezuelans marched against President Hugo Chavez yesterday, the first opposition demonstrations since bloody street fighting and a failed coup three weeks ago.
Medina said she hoped to return home for the summer but she feared the situation would only get worse. Medina said she was very homesick, but didn't want to enter the country if violence erupted. The U.S. State Department issued a travel warning for Venezuela on April 16. The warning discourages travel to the country because of the unstable situation there.
Joe Potts, director of International Student Services, said students came to his office for help with these problems.
"I think I have to watch the news and see if I can go." Medina said.
Potts said the most common concerns for students were finances and housing for the summer if they stayed in the United States. He said that if there was economic turmoil in a country, the students' parents might be unable to support them if they remained in the United States.

"We have to help them to manage their money and find sources of income," Potts said.
He said that another concern for students would be renewing their visas while in their home country. If that country is going through violent shake-ups, they

The Feminine Physique
Female athletes at the University of Kansas struggle to find a balance between bodies that can compete and bodies that match society's ideal
Story by Ali Brox Photos by Sara Shepherd
The muscles in Lauren Royall's back bulge as she strains for another pull-up. A junior rower at the University of Kansas, Royall lifts weights at 6 a.m. every Monday and Wednesday. She practices 20 hours a week, some on the technical aspects to rowing. She spends most of that time p her body for a 2,000-meter sprint on the water. The workouts have produced lasting effects.
Her shoulders become a little broader with each pull-up; her back more ripped with each stroke of the oar: enviable traits that have helped propel Royall into the first varsity-eight boat. But on Friday night, the jeans fit a little tighter in the thighs and the little black dress doesn't quite accommodate her shoulders.
"My shoulders are abnormally large." says Kansas swimmer Gwen Haley. "Clothes don't fit me right."

Like Royall and Haley, many Kansas female athletes
ter

r
face a body image tug of war everyday.
Lauren Royall, junior rower, performs squat lifts at morning weight training. Royall says she feels buff after a workout but questions her appearance at home in front of the mirror. "When I go to try on that dress, and my back and my shoulders won't fit into it, I'm like 'Dang it,'" she said. "It's just stuff like that, the clothes not fitting."
See a body image tag or wall everywhere.
From a very young age, the images bombard women. A beautiful woman should look like Barbie, Buffy, Britney. Unfortunately, that ideal feminine body is downright unproductive for many female athletes.
"It becomes even more complicated for women athletes because they get such conflicting images," said Sharon Sullivan, graduate student who teaches a course called Images of Women in Popular Culture.
"They need to be strong for their sport and yet, there's repercussions — physical repercussions — to the exercise and kind of activities they do that affect the way their bodies look. They kind of get a double whammy there."
Royall experiences those whammies first hand. She swears there's a difference between the mirror in the weight room and the one in her sorority house. She feels buff after doing pull-ups at practice and is proud of her big shoulders.
"But then, when I go try on that dress, and my back and my shoulders won't fit into it. I'm like 'Dang it!'"
Royal said. "And then, what's totally annoying is, when your back and shoulders do fit into it, then it's too loose on your waist and then your highs are back to
being huge again. It's just stuff like that, the clothes not fitting. The hard bodies of female athletes aren't the ones on the covers of fashion magazines. Rowing coach Rob Catloth said the optimum body type for a collegiate rower was quite different than what society had deemed ideal for women.
ety had deemed ideal for women.
"The average size of our team is 5'9" to 5'10". I'd say 160 to 175 pounds, "Catloth said. 'So those women are not going to fit the body image you see in *Glamour* magazine.'"
True, but those women can also row a grueling mile-and-a-quarter race at a dead sprint.
"If you're 5'10", 185, and that's your body type, and you can go row 20 miles in a day, and do the workouts we do everyday, then how do you consider yourself as not in shape?" Catloth asked. "You're doing basically all you can with your body."
Some women still push their bodies to both extremes. With the amount of calories a university athlete can burn during one practice, the decision not to eat enough calories and lose some weight can be tempting.
Kristen Reynolds, a sophomore rower, said Catloth was aware of the temptation facing his rowers not to eat enough.
"Rob always reminds us, especially on winter training and spring training trips where we're practicing twice a day. He reminds us just to eat because we need energy because we've been practicing so much." Reynolds said. "We've been burning so many calories that it's important that we get enough food in our system. Because, if not, you just won't survive the workouts."
Royall agreed that Catloth watched the team members' eating habits.
"There have been girls who aren't eating." Royall said. "And he'll get onto them." Catloth isn't the only person concerned about the athletes' eating habits. Royall said her mom worried, also.
"Every time she sees me she says, 'Be sure you're eating enough,'" Royall said. Trying to maintain femininity while constantly building muscle to make their bodies perform at the highest level is a constant conflict for female athletes. Andrea Branson, a five-time All-American pole-vaulter who is no longer competing, can remember how she how surprised she was when a male coach's comments about another pole-vaulter at a track meet questioned the woman's sexuality.
Branson described the other pole-vaulter as a very muscular woman who, from the back, could have been mistaken for a man. The coach said if he were a woman who looked like that, he would wear his hair a little longer and would put on some makeup.
Branson couldn't believe what she was hearing. The comment angered her. She asked herself. How was having longer hair and wearing makeup going to help an athlete compete any better?

Insurance costly but worth it. students and officials say
By Melissa Shuman Kansan staff writer
Students graduating in a few weeks will face the challenge and expense of purchasing health insurance or risk paying thousands of dollars out of pocket if injured.
Lawrence Memorial Hospital, Watkins Memorial Health Center and the Kansas Insurance Department all agree that having enough medical coverage can prevent financial disaster.
Jennifer Bottger hasn't had to use the benefits of her health insurance yet, but she knows she needs it in case something happens to her.
Botter, Belleville senior, plans to graduate in May and has her own health insurance plan ready. She is a 22-year-old on an individual plan called Blue Choice from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas.
"My mom keeps telling me the $117.31 a month is worth it," she said.
Bottger's parents pay her monthly premium. They found they could save $300 a month if they bought their daughter an individual plan. Her father is retired, so he qualifies for health insurance from Medicare,
and her mother gets insurance through her emolyer.
Bottger and her parents looked for several different plans when shopping for insurance. She said the insurance plan from MEGA Life and Health offered through the University didn't have the type of coverage she was looking for.
"We looked at the KU plan, but the Blue Cross and Blue Shield had better coverage for what I needed," she said.
By "better coverage," Bottger means her insurance plan covers more of her health care costs. Her plan also continues after graduation.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Americans spend more than $1.3 trillion each year on health care. Yet in the year 2000, 38.7 million Americans did not have health insurance. More than 7 million of those were 18 to 24 years old. Steve O'Neil, consumer assistant representative for the Kansas Insurance Department, said many people didn't realize the need for health insurance even though they could afford it.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Palm prints from a missing Miami girl at the center of a botched foster care case don't match those of an unidentified girl found beheaded here a year ago, Kansas City police said yesterday.
Attempt to identify Precious Doe as missing Miami girl unsuccessful
Police examined prints sent by overnight courier from Miami authorities to try to match 5-year-old Rilya Wilson, also known as Rilya Wilson Graham, with the girl Kansas Citians know only as Precious Doe.
Precious Doe's decapitated body was found April 28,2001 in east Kansas City. Her head was found nearby three days later.
Investigators acknowledged they were disappointed that the palm prints weren't similar but said they were not totally ruling out the lead until they can compare DNA samples.
Sgt. Dave Bernard, of the Kansas City police department's homicide unit, said the palm prints could not be officially verified because they were provided by Rilya's family, rather than from Miami police or an official record like a birth certificate.
"I want to see the DNA," Bernard said. "I haven't completely ruled out that this is not Precious Doe."
But Carl Carlson, fingerprint supervisor for the department, said it was obvious the two palm prints were not from the same person.
"They're both from the left hand," Carlson said. "That's the only similarity."

Because of an error by the source of the information, harpers.org, an item in the "By the Numbers" feature on the opinion page in Monday's Kansan incorrectly indicated that President George W. Bush had 41 relatives who had been ticketed for sexual misconduct. One of Bush's relatives has been ticketed for sexual misconduct.
CAMPUS Two students victims of aggravated assault
Two University of Kansas students and another man were victims of an aggravated assault Monday night in the parking lot of Tuckaway Apartments, 2600 W. Sixth St.
Paul Kopecky, Pleasant Hill, Iowa, sophomore; Jaclyn Kaulentis, Lake Forest, Ill., freshman; and Ryan Michaels, of Kansas City, Mo., told police a man with a 12-gauge shotgun threatened them at 13:10 p.m., said Sgt. Mike Patrick of the Lawrence Police Department.
Benson Edwards, 21-year-old Lawrence resident, was arrested on charges of possession and intent to sell crack, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving while suspended and three counts of aggravated assault.

GTAC demonstrates labor beliefs while waiting to continue mediation
By Meredith Carr Kansan staff writer
LINDSFY KILIANY/KANSAN
GTAC

IS STRENGTH
WOMAN

GOD

GTAS
KU GTAs Rebecca Kuhn, DeKalb, Ill., Robert Vodicka, Lawrence, and Patrick Carriere, Bemidji, Minn., sing "Solidarity Forever" during an open forum at the Kansas Union. Members of the GTAC sang and protested for higher wages and the importance of a GTA union.
Asking for better pay and benefits, the Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition demonstrated yesterday in front of the Kansas Union with songs, poetry and basic explanations of what the Coalition stands for.
GTAC members held signs that read, "GTAC: In Union is Strength," "God loves GTAs" and "KU works because we do." The demonstration also promoted The Pajama Game, a movie about the employees of the Sleepite Pajama Factory that were looking for a seven-and-a-half cent an hour raise. The Student Union Association and English Alternative Theater helped sponsor The Pajama Game, which was shown to about 30 students at the Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union last night.
Maureen Schleyer, co-president of GTAC, said they were just trying to inform everyone of the labor stuggles on campus.
"The importance of organized labor is not only important on campus, but also in society," Schleyer said. "We're just demonstrating our beliefs."
Rebecca Kuhn, GTA in the department of sociology, said the Coalition is a part of Kansas Association of Public Employees, American Federation of Teachers, American Federation of Labors-Congress of Industrial Organization and are Chapter 4565 of the Union.
"All GTAs are part of the bargaining unit," Kuhn said. "But to be a member of GTAC, an individual has to pay dues."
The group became the 11th GTA Union in the United States in 1995.
Aaron Passman, Towanda junior and spectrum and film coordinator for SUA, said he thought the movie was a good idea.
"The Coalition had to go
through us so they could get the film, publicize the event and use Woodruff Auditorium," Passman said. "I was pleased with the turn out, and think what they stand for is important."
Kuhn said they hope to continue mediation with the University later this month.
"It really depends on the Legislature," Kuhn said. "We really won't know what our situation will end up like until the University and the state figure out their situations."
The State of Kansas Legislature's full body reconvened yesterday to finish discussion on the estimated $750 million budget shortfall. The University is facing a proposed $51.6 million tuition increase, and the administration is still lobbying in Topeka for an increase in University funds.

Researchers have discovered a mutated gene that increases the risk of breast cancer.
Mutated genes linked to breast cancer risk
The mutated gene, called CHEK2 or CHK2, can double the 13 percent risk that women face, said Michael Stratton, geneticist and author of the study who does cancer research in London. Only about 1 percent of people, both men and women, carry the gene.
A person carrying the gene is not guaranteed to develop breast cancer. The risk increases to 26 percent, or the equivalent of that of a woman who has a mother or sister with breast cancer
The gene is also linked to breast cancer risks in men. However, the cancer is extremely rare in men by counting for less than 1 percent of all breast cancer cases.
Stratton said that the gene was not something anyone needed to get tested for.
Lily Morgan, Eudora senior, said that the study's finding was particularly interesting to her because she was concerned about breast cancer more than most college women.
Lisa Crowther, Wichita freshman, said that this study was just another reason for women to fear breast cancer.
"I have breast cancer in my family, so this gene could put me at risk even more," Morgan said. "I would want to get tested to know if I had it but also to know if the gene would be passed on to my children."
"No matter what they say, I would want to get tested and have my mother and grandmother get tested also," Crowther said. "I don't worry about breast cancer on
a daily basis because it is not in my family, but the possibility of having a gene would cause me to worry."
Jennifer Taylor, Olathe freshman, said that she agreed that some kind of testing for this gene should be available.
"If the testing was inexpensive, I think it would be important to get yourself tested so that you knew your risk," Taylor said. "Even with all of the studies being done on breast cancer, it just isn't something that I worry about."
Crowther said that she thought it was important for women to take care of themselves.
"There is no excuse for women to not do self-breast exams every month," she said. "Taking care of yourself could mean your life."

The girls posing for Playboy are not exploited, underprivileged individuals. They're intelligent college students, and if they want to flash their bare butts that's their preoperative.
Congratulations to the Tuckaway apartments for being nominated and winning the Top of the Hill best apartment complex, and as a note, thank you for towing quick-stars' cars.
This is to all the hippies calling in and complaining about Referendum B. It's time to wake up and face facts. Frat dogs rule the world.
According to Doug Pacey and his commentary we all deserve a refund because sports haven't been really impressive, and that leads me to think the only reason we're here is for sports, and that just makes me say, "Damn, why did I do all that homework?"
It's funny, we become our parents, but we also become the people our parents warned us about. So what does that say about our parents?
I'd just like to say thank you to the Kansan for supporting my drug habit with clever, new ideas. I'll have to order my Salvia.
I too watch Saturday Night Live,and I just got one thing to say,word to Vanilla Ice's mother.
-
Maybe the Kansan should think about ethical concerns first before they publish information on the front page about drugs. I mean, how do you think the kids at Columbine learned how to make bombs?
Does KU owe us a rebate for crappy sports columns?
This is a different guy than last time, but I too eat rocks.
So who lost their cell phone at Clinton Lake? Because I found it.
There's a bunch of ladies in black in front of Strong Hall playing red rover. What's up with that?
例
Mark and Joanna really want to know what's up with no listing of the best nachos in Lawrence, because Quinton's has the best nachos, and we're just wondering what's up with the nachos? Everybody wants nachos. You need to know how much they cost and how good they are, so we need nachos.
I was just wondering why all the girls at KU, the sorority girls, they're all clones of each other? They all talk the same. They all walk the same. They all wear sunglasses, no backpacks and purses and talk on their cell phones. It's really annoying, and I don't like the fact that they stare at me. I'm a black student. You know, I know how to dress, too. And they all stare at me like I have crap on my face, because my boyfriend's white. I don't appreciate it, and I totally regret going to KU.
图
I was just wondering, I'm new to Kansas, and I was just wondering if you have to be white or Asian American to get into one of these sororities on campus that have houses.
To the writer of the Salvia article, I'm a firm believer that journalists should weigh the consequences of their stories before actually publishing them, so think about that next time.
Meet me tonight at the bell tower for a little spring fun.
Alexzia Plummer has a lot of good ideas about campus diversity, but she needs to realize that this is Kansas here. It's kind of hard to have a lot of diversity in the Midwest.
Does anybody realize how bad our sports section sucks? First of all, our columnists pick great ideas like the basketball team is good. Second of all, they've never heard of a box score. Third of all, you'd think that when our football team gets new uniforms instead of just writing about them they could print a picture.
I like the quote about the Northface and Abercrombie stuff, but the next quote will be my big-timer spinoff of the stereotypical sorority girl.
Fake bake for a while to impress Aaron Miles. From my feet to my head, I'm completely red. Got a North face fleece. Wear miniskirts to be a tease. Ain't got no job, but I'm still rich. Got a full tank of gas in daddy's new E-class. Don't pay any rent, because my parents can.
Some creepy guy masturbated in front of my friend this weekend. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
I'm driving down Jayhawk Boulevard playing my music really loud. A guy yelled at me that it was a load of malarkey. I just want to know what malarkey means. What does malarkey mean?
题
I just want to say that the paper today was a load of malarkey.
It's funny that the Kansan has a sports section, yet you don't cover NASCAR.
My new anti-drug: Salvia.
The Oracle is not journalism. The Oracle is ads, and the article about Referendum B contains lies. The Greek community has more than two representatives in Student Senate.
All those whoosies smoking Salvia ought to step up to the majors and try some DMT.

PERSPECTIVE
'Osbournes' a fascinating glimpse into an unusual, original family
In these most recent of weeks I, along with the rest of America, have become enthralled with a certain family Osbourne. Much to the surprise of MTV programmers, Ozzy fans and the Osbournes family itself, The Osbournes has become the most highly rated series in the history of MTV.
The question I keep asking myself though is why the rest of the country and I are so infatuated with this family. I highly doubt that people watch it because of Ozzy's music career. Most people that watch the show probably couldn't name more than five of his songs off the top of their heads.
COMMENTARY
COMMENTARY
Add an ex-junkie rock star as the dad, his wife/manager as the mom, two bickering siblings and a few thousand swears, and you get one of the more unique families in the country. I have a hard time believing that anyone who watches the show can say, "Yeah, I've been in that situation before."
Marc Ingber
opinion@kansan.com
Certainly it's not because they can relate to their lives. I'm sure most viewers don't live in a giant mansion with a statue of Satan hanging above the door. In addition to Beelzebub, the family has enough dogs so that all they would have to do is put a sign above the Prince of Darkness' head and they could open the Osbourne family pet shop.
This is where the show differs from the Real World. Although most people in this world aren't picked to live in a house with six strangers, it is much easier to relate to the people on the Real World. Most people know what its like to be dumped by their girlfriend or boyfriend, get in a fight with their friend or any other sort of the stupid everyday problems that the people on the Real World whine about.
— what is completely ludicrous to the average viewer is completely normal in the Osbourne household. It's hard not to find it funny when a dad that once got banned from the state of Texas for a decade for relieving himself on the Alamo tries to tell his kids to be home by 12:30. Or when Ozzy yells at Kelly for getting a tattoo about an inch in diameter, when he's basically got the Sistine Chapel ceiling running down the length of both his arms.
about.
Most people can't relate to Kelly Osbourne when she complains to her parents, "the kids at school can't get over the fact that my dad bit the head off of a bat 20 years ago." Besides her siblings, little Kelly is probably the only person in the glorious history of this planet that can utter that sentence.
This is the other main draw of the show—to compare what a more elder Ozzy is like at home to how he's been known as a public figure for the last 30 years.
This is what I think is the draw of this show
Whether it be his run in with a bat or snorting ants off the sidewalk, the Ozman has had quite an interesting past. Knowing this it is quite amusing to watch him clean up after the dog or yell at the kids for being too loud.
That's why no matter how long it takes him just to spit out one sentence, people will still watch. Just because he's Ozzy—a family man to be reckoned with.
Ingber is a Golden Valley, Minn., sophomore in pre-journalism.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
STUDENT SENATE CRITICISM UNFAIR
Dear editor.
Dear editor, Brooke Hesler was way off base when she decided to knock down Referendum B in her column entitled, "Student Senate's leaders, past and present only perpetuate partisanship" (April 26).
She was unjustified in stating that Loren Malone was wrong for deciding to reinstate the majority-favored policy. She also unfairly insulted the new administration and Andy Knopp's referendum for no reason except her lack of research.
lack of research. Knopp wrote a column explaining the technicalities in the latest edition of the Oracle. He also explained that "the point of the referendum is not that there aren't enough Greeks in Student Senate...[the point is] only to provide equal and fair representation."
As of now, greek housing is not classified under residential or off-campus categories. So, because a person decides to live in his or her greek house, he or she has no housing representation. Needless to say, this is biased against the greek community.
However, Mitchell did send Referendum B to the entire, frequently read Senate listserv. Every member of Student Senate saw and read the referendum. Funny how Kyle Browning decided this way was not legitimate after the fact that the referendum passed. And this did not just merely pass. It achieved a large majority when two-thirds of the students voting on the referendum voted in favor of it.
Jayme A. Aschemeyer
Aurora, Colo., sophomore
voted in favor of R.
It is quite beneficial that this new Student Senate administration decided to put Knopp's referendum back on the table because now they are representing the student voter's majority opinion — which is why they were elected in the first place.
The technicality occurred when Knopp gave the referendum to Elections Commissioner David Mitchell instead of the Executive Staff Secretary Anna Gregory.

A scale sits in the rowing team's weight room on the third level of Allen Fieldhouse. The athletes, like rower Lauren Royall, Tulsa junior, weigh themselves after certain workouts to determine their power ratio, a measurement of strength in proportion to body size
BODY IMAGE

"But that's totally the societal view: that a woman, a female, needs to portray the softer qualities," Branson said. "And being well-defined and muscular is not one of those."
Reynoldsknowssexual stereotypes do exist about female athletes.
"With lifting, some people don't want to get too big." Reynolds said. "They want to avoid the stereotype of the butch-type girl."
For Branson, that stereotype is irrelevant. She just wants to be able to compete at the highest level.
"There are certain things you need to be able to do, and I don't think bulk's too bad," Branson said, but even she had reservations.
“There is a limit on what I think's appropriate," she said. "You know you're kind of intimidating to the guys around you. Because that's normally who I hear the comments from. You know when you walk by and hear a guy sway that kind of stuff."
She never knows whether to believe him, but whenever Royall's boyfriend in Oklahoma comestose her he tells hers she looks thinner.
"I don'tknow if he's just saying that to be nice," Royall said. "He likes the idea that I'm rowing and that I'm staying in shape."
Professor Ann Cudd, the director of the women's studies
department, knows what it's like to be torn between athletics and how society thinks females should look.
She lettered in four sports, basketball, soccer, cross country and track, at Swarthmore College in Swarthmore, Pa.
"Their sport to some extent dictates what their ideal body image is going to be," Cudd said. "I mean, if you want to be really good at basketball, I'm sorry. You can't be a shrinking violet."
Not all sports result in the ideal feminine body, but the ones that do seem to be the ones people want to see.
Sullivan talks about the same issues in her course.
"People want to watch figure skating and gymnastics," Sullivan said. "And those are sports where women have become progressively smaller. So not only are these women expected to be excellent athletes, but they're also supposed to have big breasts, which is really pretty difficult to do. We see those images all the time though because of plastic surgery."
Cudd agrees that athletes who fit the feminine body image are the athletes who people want to see.
not the athletes, necessarily."
"We're only seeing beautiful women in those sports even if they're not the best athletes," Cudd said. "Or even if those sports are not the only sports women play. What men and women really want to see are the beautiful women and
Thus the Anna Kournikova phenomenon. Although she has never won a major tennis tournament, Kournikova is regularly featured in commercials, magazines and even music videos.
Sarah Bliss is a freshman diver on the Kansas swimming and diving team.
She started gymnastics when she was 3 years old and began competing in club gymnastics by the time she was 8. She took up diving in high school.
Bliss knows what it's like to compete in sports where being smaller is distinct advantage.
She stands 5 feet 1 inch tall. Her smaller body type makes it easier for her to flip faster.
Bliss lifts weights just like the swimmers and thinks the way an athlete's body responds to lifting depends on the body type.
"I bulk up," Bliss said. "But some others get defined. I'm more muscular because of gymnastics, but that's just the way we always been."
Ultimately, resolving the conflict between society's view of women and athletes' views of their own bodies is difficult for female athletes — almost as difficult as attaining the ideal body.
"What men and women really want to see are the beautiful women and not the athletes,

and has been to Senior Nationals.
Even Haley feels the pressure of having to watch her body. Her friends ask how she can ever eat knowing she has to walk around in a swimsuit all the time.
"We wear a suit everyday," Haley said. "Sometimes it's hard with that reminder. You don't want to get to practice and put on a suit and have it not fit."
Reynolds also admits being conscious of how she looks and trying to watch what she eats.
She tries to maintain a healthy diet because it's beneficial for performance. But there remains that underlying motivation that female athletes may never truly transcend.
"I try to eat healthy." Reynolds said. And then she added, "So I can look better."

Kansas food industry gets poor rating
The Associated Press
TOPEKA—The bill of health given by state auditors to Kansas' restaurant inspection system is anything but clean.
restaurant inspection system. It's littered with reports of mouse droppings in prep areas, of infestations of flies and cockroaches, of food being held at unsafe temperatures for hours.
Almost one-third of Kansas restaurants did not get required yearly inspections in 2001, and others with persistent sanitation problems operated without fear of a fine, an audit released Tuesday shows.
"Is the food-service inspection program adequate to ensure that significant violations of state laws and regulations will be found? The short answer to this question is, 'No.' " said John Curran, one of the state auditors who wrote the report.
Health and Environment Secretary Clyde Graeber said the results were worse than he expected.
"The audit brought to light more areas, more problems than I felt existed or which I had knowledge of," Graeber said.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment is responsible for making sure all of the state's roughly 12,000 food-service establishments are inspected at least once a year. State inspectors are responsible for examining about 7,000 restaurants, school cafeterias, caterers and food-service counters in grocery stores.
About 30 percent of the state's restaurants were not inspected as required in 2001, the state audit found.
The Department of Health and Environment has 23 full-time inspector positions, although three are now vacant.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommends one inspector for every 250 establishments. The state, with one inspector for every 521 establishments, would need an additional 18 inspectors to meet that recommendation, state health officials estimated.
The audit also found that state inspectors did not always investigate consumer complaints within 48 hours, or within 24 hours if a food-borne illness was suspected — time frames set by the department's own guidelines.
In its response, the state pointed out that last year it investigated 99 percent of the complaints it received and that the year before it investigated 98 percent.
The health department said it tried to respond to all consumer complaints within 48 hours.
Auditors also found that state food inspector did not always follow up to make sure that serious food violations, such as food kept at unsafe temperatures or insect infestations, were corrected.
State regulations require that critical violations - those most likely to put the public's health at risk - be corrected in 10 days or less.
in a sample of 160 inspections, auditors found 114 instances in which at least one critical violation was left uncorrected at the end of the inspection. Of the 114, only six establishments had a follow-up inspection within 10 days, and two-thirds weren't scheduled for a follow-up.
"Without follow-up inspections, the department can't ensure that critical violations are getting corrected," the audit report said.

Need a magic wand to graduate on time?
Well, it may not be magic, but the summer session at WSU can do some pretty incredible things—like make an entire class disappear in as little as two weeks. It's not smoke and mirrors, just an easy, convenient way to get ahead between semesters. And, as always, credits earned at WSU are easily transferable to KU. So, take summer school at Wichita State, and in the blink of an eye you'll be closer to graduation and still have plenty of time to enjoy summer before heading back to Lawrence.

may not have access to U.S. consulates and the visa process would be disrupted.
Mario Gonzalez, Bogota, Colombia senior, said he was not going home for the summer but he still worries about his relatives who live there.
For his own safety, when in Colombia, Gonzalez said that he never traveled by car between cities and lays low when attacks happen. If travelled by car in rural areas he might be kidnapped, robbed or killed because those with cars are targeted as people with money.
"A month ago, it was bad, they had to be very careful." he said.
"I worry about the violence in Colombia all the time," Gonzalez said.
Gonzalez said that the lawlessness in his country was spreading into larger cities like Bogota, the capital of Colombia. Everyday, the front page of the Colombia newspaper, *El Tiempo*, is filled with reports of the previous nights car bombings and kidnappings. In Colombia, much of the violence stems from fighting between rebel groups such as the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and paramilitary groups. Nearly half of Colombia is controlled by such groups and their operations are fueled by kidnapping, drug trafficking and extortion payoffs. According to the U.S. State Department, more than 3,000 people are kidnapped each year throughout Colombia, and there is a greater risk of being kidnapped in Colombia than in any other country in the world. The department issued a travel warning for Colombia last year.

supervisor at Watkins, files insurance claims and helps students understand their health insurance. She said students often didn't understand why they need insurance.
Belinda Rehmer, community relations director at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, 325 Maine St., a common misperception is that those without insurance can go to the hospital and get treated without having to pay, because hospitals must treat patients whether or not they have insurance.
The hospital must write off costs in cases of charity or when the health insurance company paid lower than the actual costs of bills. Last year, Lawrence Memorial Hospital had to write off $1.8 million.
Rehmer said people without insurance had to face the high cost of health care alone.
"The only people who pay full price are those who don't have insurance," she said.
Rehmer said that insurance companies usually didn't have to pay the full cost either, because they had a contract with the hospital.
O'Neil said he has seen Kansans in financial disaster, because they didn't have enough insurance.
"If you have the means to pay for it, the hospital will try to collect," she said.
Stephanie Covington, associate director of the Office of Financial Aid, said that KU included $85 a month in health costs into the financial need budget for graduate students. She said that the University didn't figure health costs into the need for undergraduates, but students could negotiate their need budget for health costs.
"We can adjust their budget if they show proof they pay their own insurance premiums if it would help them get more aid." Covington said.
Students may have other problems trying to pay for medical coverage if they go for long periods of time without any insurance.
O'Neil said it was important not to have a gap more than 62 days in health plan coverage because it would cause problems with the policy's pre-existing condition.
"The new insurance carrier can impose a restriction on pre-existing conditions if you go for 62 days without any policy." O'Neil said.
A pre-existing condition refers to any medical problem that the patient had received care for three months before they were covered on the policy. This could mean a chronic health problem or a minor one. O'Neil said the Kansas Insurance Department spent much time negotiating what pre-existing conditions should be covered on an insurance policy.
O'Neil said that Kansas required employers to give proper insurance to its employees, so patients with chronic health conditions could find insurance.
Consumers who have questions about specific health insurance companies or policies can call 1-800-432-2484 to reach the Kansas Insurance Department.
Student Health Services will contact insurance companies for students if they feel the company did not respond properly, or if they have a problem paying their bill at Watkins.

Royals beaten by the Tigers enter last place in the league
DETROIT — Shane Halter hit a three-run homer and Wendell Magee had three hits and two RBIs as the Detroit Tigers moved out of last place yesterday by beating the Kansas City Royals 7-6.
The Associated Press
Detroit (9-17), which had held a share of the AL Central cellar since the start of the season, moved past Kansas City (8-17), which dropped to 0-2 under interim manager John Mizerock, who took over this week after Tony Muser was fired.
Jamie Walker (1-0) pitched one and one-third scoreless innings, and Juan Acevedo got six outs for Detroit's first save this season. The Tigers improved to 9-11 under manager Luis Pujols, who replaced Phil Garner after an 0-6 start. Detroit finished its homestand 5-1, winning back-to-back series for the first time since taking three straight last July.
Dugouts and bullpens emptied at the end of the eighth inning after an argument between Detroit's Bobby Higginson and the Royals' Neifi Perez.
Higginson hit into an inning-ending double play and started arguing with Perez, who was coming off the field from shortstop. Higginson had been called out in the third inning for sliding out of the basepath
at Perez in an attempt to break up an inning-ending double play.
Kansas City led 4-2 in the fifth before Higginson hit an RBI single off Dan Reichert and Halter his first home run since last Oct. 4 against Minnesota.
But the Royals retied the score in the sixth when third baseman Jose Macias threw wildly to first on Luis Alicea's two-out grounder, allowing two runs to score on the error.
Cory Bailey (0-3) walked Halter and Jacob Cruz with one out in the seventh, and Wendell Magee followed with the go-ahead single.
Reichert allowed six runs on 10 hits and two walks in six innings. Detroit starter Seth Greisinger gave up four runs and five hits in four-plus innings. Greisinger was making his second start since missing most of 1999 and all of 2000 and 2001 with elbow problems.
Magee homered in the second and Higginson hit an RBI single in the third, but the Royals chased Greisinger in the fifth on Alicea's RBI single and a run-scoring throwing error by right fielder Robert Fick. Carlos Beltran tied it with a two-run triple off Jose Paniagua.
Former star faces more charges
The Associated Press
FLEMINGTON, N.J. — Former NBA All-Star Jayson Williams faces a new, more serious manslaughter charge in an indictment returned yesterday in the shooting death of a limousine driver at his estate.
Williams was indicted on a series of charges, including aggravated manslaughter, which carries a sentence of up to 30 years in prison. He also was indicted on earlier charges of aggravated assault, witness and evidence tampering, and reckless manslaughter, which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years.
A friend of the former New Jersey Nets star, John Gordnick, was indicted on two charges, including evidence tampering.
The 34-year-old Williams was charged Feb. 25 in the Feb. 14 death of Costas Christofi.
Williams, who remains free on $270,000 bail, appeared in court on the charges in March. He did not enter a plea and was not required to do so until a grand jury indictment. A date for arraignment was not immediately scheduled.
His spokeswoman, Judy Smith, has said Williams
will plead innocent "at the appropriate time." His attorney said yesterday, and he was pleased the case can now go to trial.
"We remain confident that after a full exploration of the facts the truth will show that the death of Mr. Christofi was a tragic accident but not a criminal event." Joseph Hayden said.
Gordnick's lawyer did not immediately return calls for comment.
Prosecutors say Williams was recklessly handling his 12-gauge shotgun and that he and two friends, Gordnick and Kent Culuko, tried to make the shooting look like a suicide.
Prosecutors would have to show Williams demonstrated "extreme indifference to human life" to prove the aggravated manslaughter charge.
Acting Hunterdon County Prosecutor Steven Lemer has said there were reasons to believe that alcohol "is something we need to look into." but has not said whether Williams was drinking before the shooting.
The 6-foot-10 Williams was once among the NBA's best rebounders, but leg injuries ended his career and he retired from the Nets in 2000. Since the shooting, he has been suspended from his job as an NBA analyst for NBC.

Oklahomans make oral commitments
By Brent Wasko
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas men's basketball coach Roy Williams is well on his way to filling all five scholarships available for the
1980
Jeremy Case
2003 recruiting class.
Williams recently landed oral commitments from two prep stars hailing from Oklahoma. Jeremy Case, a junior from McAlester, Okla., committed last Friday and LR. Gid-
dens, a junior from Yukon, Okla., committed on Sunday.
1024
An article on ESPN.com labeled Giddens as top junior in Oklahoma. The site described him as very athletic and known for his ability to slash to the bucket.
Giddens is also one of the state's best
track athletes. His best event is the high jump in which he has a personal best of 6 feet 10 inches.
Giddens made an official visit to Lawrence last Friday, which convinced him that达到 a Jayhawk was his best option. Giddens chose Kansas over Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas Christian, Illinois and Purdue.
Case, a 6-foot-1, 170-pound guard, played at McAlester High last season. He averaged 25.7 points and 4.6 rebounds per game. He led Oklahoma Class 5A in scoring, nailing 54.8 percent of his shots from the field and 44.7 from three-point range.
Case was surrounded by talent on his AAU team, Athletes First. The team featured a significant number of Division I-A prospects for 2003. Case played point guard on that team, but he has also played as a shooting guard.
According to The Daily Oklahoman, Case made an official visit to Lawrence two weeks ago and was shown around campus by Big 12 player of the year Drew Gooden.
TheInidersHoops.com, a national basketball recruiting network, speculated that Case would probably be a combo guard for the Jayhawks because he is so accurate from long range.
Oral commitments are non-binding. The early signing period is Nov. 13 to 20.

Softball team has play-in game to make Big 12 Tournament
By Ali Brox Kansan sportswriter
The most important game of the season for the Kansas softball team is 5 p.m. tonight against Texas Tech in Oklahoma City, Okla. This game begins the Big 12 Conference tournament for Kansas with a play-in game for a position in the eight-team, double elimination tournament.
The Jayhawks finished seventh in Big 12 play and will face off against the 10th-seeded Red Raiders at Hall of Fame Stadium.
"As far as the pressure that goes into that first game," coach Tracy Bunge said, "We definitely didn't want to have to go in and play a play-in game but now we have to refocus and get a good frame of mind going into that game with Texas Tech."
Kansas (31-23 overall, 7-11 Big 12) had its fate in its own hands last weekend against Iowa State. Had the Jayhawks swept the Cyclones they would have secured a sixth-place finish and avoided the play-in game. But Kansas only managed a split with Iowa State and now must earn the right to play in the conference tournament.
In the tournament, the 9th-seed in the Big 12 Conference plays the 8th seed for the eighth spot in the tournament, while the 7th-seed team plays the 10th seed for the seventh spot.
"There's a big difference in this conference between finishing sixth and finishing seventh," Bunge said.
The Jayhawks swept the regular season series with Texas Tech (13-39 overall, 2-16 Big 12) winning 9-0 and 1-0 in Lawrence. The Red Raiders hit .224 as a team this season and are led by Kristi Robles with a .278 average, 11 doubles and 26 RBL. On the mound, freshman Kristina Blair sports a 3.67 ERA with 65 strikeouts and a 6-12 record.
"We're going to have a challenge because Texas Tech has been Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde all year," Bunge said. "They've played extremely well and they've played really poor, so you never know what you're going to get out of them."
Pacing the offense for Kansas is senior left fielder Christi Musser. She leads the team with 34 runs, 30 RBI and nine home runs with a .370 average. Senior right fielder Leah Tabb has been a force in league games, hitting .378, which ranks second among all Big 12 players.
On the mound, freshman pitcher Serena Settlemier leads Kansas with 107 strikeouts and a 1.53 ERA. Her ERA dropped to 0.86 in league games, good for fifth among Big 12 pitchers.
The winner of the play-in game advances to play No. 2 Oklahoma immediately following at 7:30 p.m.
while the loser goes home.
"It's a new start," senior second baseman Amy Hulse said. "We've all made a decision that we're going to go out and we're going to leave everything that happened during the season, we're going to forget about it, and we're going to peak. We're going to try to

peak at the tournament."

Kansan sportswriter
Even with its ace on the hill, the Kansas baseball was unable to sweep a two-game series against Illinois-Chicago on the road, losing 5-3 yesterday at Les Miller Field.
With the defeat, the Jayhawks (18-24) had to settle for a series split and dropped their road record to a dismal 6-16.
Chicago native Matt Trible was a key factor in the Jayhawk offense for the second straight day, going 1-for-3 with two RBI. Senior third baseman Ryan Klocksien contributed a single and an RBI.
The Flames (28-10) took an early 3-0 lead, and Illinois-Chicago pitcher Scott Anderson yielded only a single by Ryan Jakubov through his first five innings of work.
The Jayhawks finally broke through in the sixth, with hits by junior shortstop Brandon Shepard and junior outfielder Lance Hayes to lead off the inning. Triple followed with a two-run single but was thrown out trying to stretch it into a double, hurting Kansas' threat.
With Kansas down 5-2, Klocksien drove in Tribble with a single in the ninth, but it would be as close as the Jayhawks would get. Junior outfielder Jason Appuhn struck out with the tying runs in scoring position, ending the game.
Anderson (1-0) got his first victory of the season, pitching eight innings and allowing only six hits. No Kansas batter got more than one hit on the afternoon.
Senior Jeff Davis (5-4) suffered the defeat, giving up four earned runs in six innings of work. Junior Pat Holmes and sophomore Chris Smart pitched the final two innings for Kansas, and neither allowed a run.
They start a three-game series Friday with Centenary, a team they swept earlier this year in Shreveport, La. They return to Big 12 Conference play on May 10 against Oklahoma.
Fortunately for the Jayhawks, their next eight games are to be played in the friendly confines of Hoglund Ballpark, where they have a 12-8 mark.

Men's crew places in weekend regatta
By Stephanie Goettsch Kansan sportswriter
Four of six boats from the men's and women's crew teams made grand finals Sunday at the Midwest Rowing Championships in Madison, Wis. They competed against teams from 16 colleges including Wisconsin, Minnesota and Kansas State.
Both the men's lightweight four and the women's novice eight took bronze. The men's varsity four placed fifth and the women's varsity eight took sixth.
O'Rourke said the Midwest Championships is one of the toughest regattas. He was especially impressed with the performance of the women's novice eight.
“If I would have told them at the first day of practice that they would do this well, they would have been pretty surprised,” coach Kevin O'Rourke said. “They showed up and worked hard since day one. I had a pretty good idea that they would do well at this regatta.”
O'Rourke said the men's varsity four, which took third out of 70 teams last fall at the Head of The Charles
Regatta in Boston, Mass., and features a trio of three-year veterans, hasn't missed a beat despite losing a strong rower from the fall season.
"The men's four is experienced and have been rowing together for a long time." O'Rourke said. "They have a strong ooSwain in Brandon Aldridge. He coxed in high school and is finishing his sixth year rowing. He's been around for awhile."
Jeremy Struemph, St. Mary's, Kan., senior and club president, is the new member on the men's varsity four, although he is a two-year veteran in the club. He was moderately disappointed with their fifth place finish at the Midwest Rowing Championships.
"It was a decent showing," he said of Sunday's performance. "Sometimes, things just don't mesh quite right, just like anything."
Struemph expects to improve at the Dad Vail Regatta in Philadelphia on May 10 and 11. This is the largest collegiate regatta held in the United States and is essentially equivalent to nation-

New Kansas coach, football era conditions mind, body
When the 90 or so Kansas football players arose from their slumber at dawn this winter, January winds rustled with anger that caused skin to sting and eyes to moisten.
The Mark Mangino era had breathed just its second week of life, but players already had its purpose ingrained in their underachieving psychics.
But the true displeasure came in the early morning workouts.
The first three goals encompassed Mangino's formula to mold a football program reeking of embarrassment into one smelling of success. He thought these first three building blocks could be enforced by the coaching staff he had assembled in the short six weeks as boss of a team trapped in football futility. He envisioned a team that would obey a system, a team that would work hard in the system and a team that would respect the system. But Mangino needed a man, one who would do more than build bodies and enhance speed, to convince his new players to believe in the system. Mangino wanted someone who could make a difference.
Discipline. Devotion. Professionalism. Passion.
Enter strength and conditioning coach Mark Smith.
Four times a week at 6:00 a.m. inside Anschutz Sports Pavilion — not a minute before or a minute after—the frigid weather stopped chilling the players. Churning their legs and pumping their arms, they eventually shook the cold. But Smith observed their jellied bodies and lazy work ethics and used a pair of tactics to motivate his new players.
on the backs of the gray T-shirts they saturated during workouts. And by prodding and scolding and yelling and staring, he challenged their desire. It was Mark Smith's voice they could not escape. In it they heard conviction.

year there is a team that has been down and no one expects anything from," Smith said Tuesday. "Every year there's a team that comes along and shocks people. So I asked them, 'Why not us?' The first couple of days in the weight room and out on the field, they weren't used to the intensity level. It was something new to them, and it takes everybody time
to get used to something."
Jeff Denton
lwalker@kansan.com
Winning was something Smith had been used to. Spending the past four seasons as an assistant strength coach at Florida, he was infected by one of the most winning college football factories in the country. Jerry Smith, his boss and mentor, jumped ship from Florida to Oklahoma after the 1998 season. Bob Stoops also lured Mangino away from
Kansas State to join his new staff at Oklahoma. The Sooners' program was in shambles. But the pieces were being put back in place.
In two quick years, Oklahoma emerged as the 2001 National Champions. Mangino was in charge of the offense. Jerry Smith was in charge of the weight room. The two formed a friendship.
So when Mangino called his former colleague about possible strength and conditioning coaches, the first person mentioned was Mark Smith. Mangino called the Florida assistant. The two bantered a bit and scheduled a sit-down the weekend before Christmas in Oklahoma City.
Mangino met Smith in the airport. The burly
He flew back to his old job the same day. He reported for his new job shortly after the new year.
coach, living up to his label as masterful recruiter, wooed the father of two who had never lived West of North Carolina. At an airport restaurant, they talked about Lawrence, the vision of Kansas football, the soon-to-be-built 14,000 sq. ft. weight room and, most importantly, Smith's interest in running the whole program.
Without ever stepping outside into the Midwest air, Smith was sold on Kansas.
He made a presence the first morning of off-season workouts with his booming voice and his rigorous routine. But Smith, who is 37, could pass for a senior in college. He is his job, a sculpted combination of strength and conditioning. He is 6-foot-3 and 225 pounds. He runs and lifts daily. He eats right. He even resembles a famous fitness fanatic. Think of a taller version of Taebo guru Billy Banks minus the spandex. He's also been likened to hulking Denver Broncos tight end Shannon Sharpe.
But it's not Smith's make-up that demands attention from his players. It's his background.

TRACK AND FIELD Kansas thrower receives award for track male athlete of week
DALLAS -- Kansas senior Scott Russell has been named co-Big 12 Outdoor Track and Field Male Athlete of the Week.
Russell, a thrower for the Jawhaws, improved his NCAA automatic-qualifying mark in the javelin to 243 feet and one inch and took first place at the Drake Relays on April 26 in Des Moines, Iowa.
The Windsor, Ontario, native currently leads the conference in this event and ranks third nationally. Russell has now won four conference crowns in his career at Kansas — two in the hammer throw and two in the javelin.
The Tiger Woods Foundation has selected inner-city junior golf programs from five cities to join the world's No. 1 golfer for a three-day clinic at Disney World starting June 17. two days after the U.S. Open.
This award is Russell's third in 2002 as he was received league athlete of the week awards twice during the indoor season. Russell shares this week's award with Brian Hunter of Texas.
LOS ANGELES — Tiger Woods won't be traveling around the country this year to conduct junior golf clinics. Instead, he's bringing the kids to him.
The junior programs are from Buffalo, N.Y.; Fort Worth, Texas; Newark, N.J.; Orlando, Fla.; and Philadelphia. They were selected through a formal bid that considered inner-city youth golf initiatives, community support and participation in local junior golf programs.

It will be the 25th clinic by the Tiger Woods Foundation since it was formed in 1996. The first was held in 1997 at Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando.
"They are always a lot of fun to put on, and are one of the best ways for our foundation to reach out to kids and give back to the community." Woods said in a statement.

als. The teams submit times to qualify. Two KU teams will compete — the men's varsity four and the women's novice eight.
Brad Seaman, Overland Park sophomore, said he expected qualifying for the Dad Vail Regatta. He was a member of the men's novice eight who took sixth at Dad Vail last year.
"We have been doing really well overall and medaling in all our regattas," he said.
The KU crew team played host to Kansas State and Colorado earlier this season and participated in a larger competition in Topeka in April.
Coach O'Rourke said participating in the Dad Vail Regatta is a success in itself, but
expects a good showing nonetheless.
He said he wasn't concerned about the heightened level of competition.
"Finalis is one of our first goals," O'Rourke said. "Once we get there, we'll start worrying about medals."
"We haven't raced a lot of people that will be there," O'Rourke said, "but we have raced against the same level of competition and done well. We're hoping to have a strong performance."
Dad Vail is divided into three rounds, including quarter-finals, semi-finals and grand finals. The top two boats qualify from each round.
"I'm hoping for a grand final, making it all the way," Struemph said. "That's what the boat is shooting for."
The women's novice eight also anticipates to compete in the grand finals. Noelle Alexander, Santa Fe, N.M., freshman said they are practicing twice a day and doing a lot more sprints in preparation.
"When you put more time in on the water, you come together as a team and get your rhythm down," she said.
Another member of the women's novice eight, Lindsay Matthews, Overland Park freshman, said the team's performance in sub-par weather conditions in Madison was an indicator of their ability to excel at Dad Vail.
"It was 30 to 40 degrees, cold water was splashing on us and our hands were freezing," she said, "but we were still able to pull through. Being realistic, I really think we can get up there in the top six."

something bad happens, you cannot go in the tank. You got to keep going. You got to keep pushing. You got to keep playing. You are never going to step on the field when everything is going your way."
And at a program where everything has gone wrong, an attitude like Smith's is both refreshing and reinforcing.
"The mind is a strong thing." Smith concluded. "If the mind believes, the body will achieve."

Grilled cheese taste test Searching through Lawrence for the perfect gooey delicacy
Massachusetts St..
ea
By Maggie Koerth Kansan staff writer
Grilled cheese is the great equalizer. It brings together the meat-eater and the vegetarian, the rich and the poor, the sloppily drunk and the hopelessly sober.
But to many people, a grilled cheese sandwich is something meant to be cooked and eaten in the privacy of one's own home. Hiding delight in this toasty, gooey delicacy, these people ignore the grilled cheese sandwiches offered by restaurants throughout Lawrence.
This idea that grilled cheese sandwiches are shameful things to be eaten at home is so ingrained in people that when I presented the idea of taste-testing grilled cheeses, my testers were even baffled by the thought.
"What's the point of this? I can make a grilled cheese at home," Chris Baker, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, said.
Although I tried to explain that each restaurant created its grilled cheese in a subtly different way. Baker merely laughed at me. Now we
a n d present- ing the results to you.
The restaurants
No matter.
The restaurants tested were: Java Break Panini, 17 E. Seventh St., Brown Bear Brewery, 729
Other criticism would come, but it did not stop me from testing the grilled cheeses of four Lawrence restaurants

Quinton's, 615 Massachusetts St., and Big K's K-Cafe, 3106 Iowa St.
Above: Christina Kuhn, Mulvane junior, bites into a Quinton's grilled cheese sandwich as Leah Shaffer, Kansan reporter and Hays junior, washes a bite of her grilled cheese down with a drink. Quinton's, 615 Massachusetts St., was one stop of four in the mission to find the perfect grilled cheese sandwich in Lawrence.
Above right: a K-Mart grilled cheese sandwich that comes with fries for $2.13.
The official taste-testers involved were the aforementioned Baker; Kansan reporter Leah Shaffer, Hays junior; Christina Kuhn, Mulvane junior; and me, a Salina junior.
Accompanied by our trusty Kansan photographer, we set out to find the perfect grilled cheese sandwich.
First stop, K-Cafe.
K-Cafe: Fear and Loathing
Our trip inside the glaring white walls of K-Mart began less than auspiciously.
To begin with, I was forced to tie to K-Cafe grill-guy Nathan Elston in order to actually obtain the sandwich. Apparently, K-Mart only sells grilled cheese as part of the kid's meal.
"Is this for someone 12 and under?" Elston asked me.
Back at our table, Shaffer and Kuhn both decided that the stark walls combined with bright red fake trees were more than a little frightening.
"Um, yes, of course. He's in the car." I replied.
"It's too calm here," Shaffer said. "I'm
scared."
Unfortunately, we were forced to wait in that environment for about 15 minutes, prompting Baker to ask the question we would ask often throughout the rest of our search: "Exactly how long does it take to make one grilled cheese sandwich?"
The sandwich itself left us equally underwhelmed. It was decidedly non-gooey and the cheese was a creepy neon orange color. The limp, flavorless fries that came with it were also substandard. "This reminds me of cafeteria food," Shaffer said.
Kuhn pointed out that considering the price of the sandwich, $2.13, we got what we paid for.
Elston must have been on to us because he failed to give us the toy that was supposed to come with our meal. We decided to leave before he became more suspicious.
General Consensus: Not worth the trip to K-Mart.
Java Break Panini: Posh Cheese
Java Break, that monument to hip Bohemia, is probably better known for its coffee than its food. But it does offer a grilled Panini sandwich made with three different kinds of cheese: Swiss mozarella and cheddar.
Java Break clerk Shawn Lanoreaux told me he sells more sandwiches made with chicken; however, he did tell me what made Java Break's grilled cheese special.
"It's made with love," he said
Baker and Shaffer said they were much less nervous in Java break than in K-Mart.
"It's dark and mysterious," Shaffer said. "It feels like you're doing something more important than eating grilled cheese."

Mongolian barbecue arrives
Unlike most barbecues restaurant combines American, Chinese, Mongolian styles
By Mandalee Meisner Jayplay writer
There's a new kind of barbecue in town.
It's not your regular, sauce-slathered ribson-the-patio type of barbecue. Neither is it the low-fat shish kabob type of barbecue. In fact, it isn't really a barbecue at all.
But misnomer aside, Jade Mongolian Barbecue, 1511 W.23rd St., has brought to Lawrence a spreading food fad that combines traditional Mongolian cooking styles, Chinese ingredients and American appetites.
Mongolian barbecues are based on the premise that people enjoy choosing the different ingredients for their meal, but hate actually cooking the final product themselves. In fact, they'd much rather watch it get grilled to saucy perfection on a huge, communal disk with a

Making cancer checks regularly saves private parts from disease
I stopped thinking about my breasts in the eighth grade. They had stopped being such a novelty by then, had stopped being so new. My breasts were (and still are) too little to get much immediate attention — I have come up with talks about them in the street While it looks like more deadly.
The very existence of my breasts was only brought to my mind by various boyfriends, a handful of doctors
teaching me to do breast self-exams for cancer (which I never did), and a friend or two making "itty-bitty-titty" jokes.
SEX COLUMN
It's strange to think that my breasts, a part of my body my boyfriend thinks about more than I do and a part of my body that has never given me any problems more serious than a couple of aches here and there, might someday be a threat to my life. So strange, in fact, that I only began to understand their importance after my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year.
Meghan Bainum mbainum@kansan.com
Because many of us are young at the University of Kansas, it is hard to imagine a time when our bodies, which cause most of us less worry than our cars or classes, might begin to get sick and diseased with ailments beyond the many nasty brands of sexually transmitted diseases.
It is especially hard to imagine a deadly disease growing in areas of our body responsible for sexual function that, until the time of the diagnoses, had given us nothing but joy and pleasure. But it happens all the time.
According to figures from the American Cancer Society, in the year 2001, 40,600 Americans died from breast cancer. Believe it or not, 400 of those breast cancer deaths were men. Another 58,500 Americans died from cancer located in their "genital systems," otherwise known as almost anything involved with your penis, vulva, scrotum, testicles, ovaries and so on.
While it sucks to find out cancer can strike even the areas on the body designated for sexual pleasure and stimulation, self-cancer checks, while oftentimes
being quite pleasurable themselves, can help keep your private parts free from at least one nasty disease. Check out Watkins Health Center or Kansan.com for information on how to breast and testicle self-exams.
And, believe it or not, cancer checks are often done well by a sexual partner — especially one who has been around for a while. Often times a lover has more intimate
experience handling and fondling a scrotum or vulva than do the owners of the parts themselves. So speak up if something seems not quite right with your partner's naughty bits.
Although partner detection is important, it's also important to get everything "down there" checked out at least every three years. For women, a pap test is recommended yearly. The doctor also is the place to go if a lump or questionable area is found on any body part, no matter what the part is used for.
Although cancer is scary and weird to think about, especially in regards to body parts like breasts or testicles, with some time, attention and a little luck, your sexual organs can be your pleasure pals for a long, long time to come.
Check out http://trfn.clpgh.org/bcis/Generalinfo/bse.html to learn how to do a breast self-exam or http://www.acor.org/TCRC/tcexam.html to learn how to do a testicle self-exam.
When looking for roommates, prepare for unavoidable issues
The end of the semester is a stressful time for many students. Even if we are stressing about final exams, term papers and end-of-the-semester projects, we can at least take solace in the fact that it is almost over. Well, for a while anyway.
Adding to this stress is making arrangements for life after finals. Namely, many people are making a mad scramble to find an apartment or other new living space and, for an unlucky lot, a roommate.

heard many speeches about negative roommate relationships. For instance, one student talked about how she made the mistake of rooming with her best friend. She found out that it ended up being too much closeness, and the relationship destructed.
Research conducted by the Residence Hall Association points to her experience as a typical roommate problem. People express more satisfaction in the "random roommate" or "potluck" system of being assigned to live with someone who a student does not know before living together.

standards," I said, "then you'd better get to cooking my dinner, cleaning my bedroom baring my children. Those are the 'womanly duties.'" She took the trash out the next day.
The second best option for most of the students in the survey was rooming with someone who was not a close friend, but an acquaintance with similar values. No matter how the roommate is selected, problems will inevitably arise. Human life is filled with conflict.
Be direct — This was something I didn't do in the example above. Don't drop subtle hints. Come right out and express any concerns.
Be reasonable — Think about the behavior and whether or not it is worth admonishing. Maybe your roommate leaves a wet towel on the bathroom floor — is that any worse than your leaving the cap off of the toothpaste?
Be nice — Just because conflict is present does not mean it has to be aggressive. Most of the time your roommate will be embarrassed about the situation, so when pointing out problems, make sure it is being done with delicacy.
If you are still having problems with a roommate, try checking out How to Survive a Roommate, by James Comer. He's done some excellent research on selecting and maintaining healthy roommate relationships.

COMMENTARY
'Numbers' lacks decent title, consistency
By Peter Black Movie reviewer
Murder by Numbers is a thriller made up of three mysteries. Unfortunately, only one of the mysteries derives from the plot.
Mystery No. 1 is the cat-and-mouse game between two detectives and two high school students, No. 2 is determining what character Sandra Bullock is attempting to play and finally, mystery No. 3 is where did the producers of this film come up with the title?
The mystery that was actually supposed to be part of the film involves Cassie Mayweather (Bullock), a hard-nosed and jaded detective in a northern California town. She is paired with Sam Kennedy (Ben Chaplin), a fresh-out-of-school, top-of his-class detective, to solve the case of a murdered woman found outside of town.
As bits of evidence are discovered, the detectives are led toward two suspiciously over-confident high schoolers, Richard Haywood (Ryan Gosling, The Believer) and Justin Pendleton (Michael Pitt II. Dawson's Creek).
The two adolescents act as though they hate each other while in public, but actually share a special philosophy: the only way to truly be free is to live outside the laws.
To make their beliefs more than words, they devise a plan to kill someone so they can experience freedom. Justin is obsessed with forensics and knows the detective process inside and out, keeping the boys one step ahead of the detectives.
Richard is the kid who has everything; popularity, money and sex; however, the one thing he is missing is attention from his parents. As Mayweather and Kennedy work their way through the maze of clues, they begin to close in on the boys and soon find that the real question isn't whether they did it, but who did the actual killing and who did the planning.
The answer to the second mystery is hidden somewhere underneath Bullock's confusing performance. Bullock's character is supposed to be complex and layered, combining a past traumatic experience, her unwillingness to become close to others, a deep commitment to her job and the softer side that she keeps buried. She has the ability to bring all of those qualities to the table, but she does so without transitioning between emotions.
Whenever Mayweather is supposed to be experiencing a different emotion or attitude. Bullock performed it as if it were a completely new character, making the movie far more confusing than the story it is trying to tell.
One mystery left unsolved is why the heck the movie is titled Murder by Numbers?
There aren't any numbers involved in the film.
The only thing that I can figure out is that the murder was committed by two people, but at no point in the film does any of the action or dialogue even come close to giving the title any validity
If anyone thinks he has a solution to this mystery, please e-mail me, because even the best detectives couldn't form any leads on this one.

Jayplay writers filter crap
COMMENTARY
the New Guy
SARA SHEPHERD/KANSAN
The Jayplay section — it's what you are reading right now — is the weekly entertainment "magazine" of The University Daily Kansan. And as such, Jayplay reporters write about entertainment available to students — topics that range from sex to musical outlets.
CDs, videos, promotional photos and a variety of books sent by companies for reviewing by the Kansan pile up in the newsroom. Books like Casual Rex, a story of undercover dinosaur detectives, have remained unreviewed — in newsroom drawers.
And every week I'm sure you wonder to yourself: "How do the writers come by such knowledge?"
COMMENTARY
Well, maybe you don't wonder this, but my roommates have asked me before if I had to buy the CDs I sometimes review.
Just to let you know what the Jay-play writers have been shielding you from this year, here's a quick example of the less-than-stellar entertainment promos we've received:
Casual Rex by Eric Garcia
However, not everything that we get is reviewed (have you ever seen a book review about dinosaur detectives?), because not everything is necessarily interesting to you, the students. In fact, most of what is delivered to us through the U.S. Postal Service ends up collecting dust in the Kansan newsroom.
Yes, stuff. Record labels send in CDs with press releases about the artist's latest tour. Studios send their latest video releases and folders of information on their next theatrical release. Publishers give us books on a variety of subjects, from sex to undercover dinosaur detectives (no really, I'm not joking).
But the answer to that is no. The writers and reviewers for Jayplay do not always have to pay for what they review.
The aforementioned dinosaur detective story. In this sequel to 1999's Anonymous Rex, Garcia tells a story about a pair of dinosaurs who wear latex human suits and coexist in a world of humans. The dinosaurs investigate a potentially dangerous movement in which they shed their latex skins and be themselves.
"Why is that?" you ask. Well, it's because companies send us stuff.
"Stuff?" you ask as you think of writing for Jayplay and getting free stuff.
Donovan Atkinson datkinson@kansan.com
This volume of modern literature has been gathering dust on a desktop in the newsroom since last fall.
The Random Years: Pilot Episode
Paramount Pictures sent us this pilot for a mediocre comedy starring Will Friedle of Boy Meets World fame. He played the older brother. Friedle plays a young, just-out-of-college Web entrepreneur who lives with his slacker buddies. It also stars Natalia Cigliuti of Saved by the Bell: The New Class. She played the younger Kelly Kaposki character and adds that "Hey, it's that one chick from that one show!" factor. The show debuted on the UPN network in March, but network's Web site now lists the show as being on hiatus.
Da Album by the SuckaMCs
From the cover notes to this attempt at hardcore rap, one can gather that the SuckaMCs are the white version of the Wu Tang Clan. The members have taken on new, evocative names like The Old Navy Bastard, Da Perpetual Moshun Masheen, The Warden Reverend Porno Borton Ding Dong, and Jason Clifford Hennesy. The cover notes also prove to be the most entertaining part of this album, and the generic rap helps emphasize the humorous nature of the credits. Listed in the "thank you" section are a variety of people, places and things, including the birthplaces of the band and "the fly honeys who roll with Suckas."
New Port South
The latest John Hughes film on video that is aggravating to watch. Nothing makes sense and nothing is explained in the first 16 minutes,
which is when I stopped watching.
*Le Funk by VHS OR BETA*
"When you think of house music played on the same instruments as a great rock band, you'll think of VHS OR BETA," promises Fanatic Promotion in a press release for the band's 2001 album. When I listened to it, all I could think of was that they somehow managed to turn one song into six.
Playmate of the Apes
When this saucy movie arrived in the newsroom it was an instant hit.
Everyone had something to say about it, and no one had even watched it yet. Sadly, this video has since disappeared from the newsroom, which is why I never got the chance to review it for you ...
Now I know what you're thinking. "I really want this stuff! Casual Rex sounds like a great read!" Well, maybe not. But the next time you read the Jayplay and think that our entertainment selections suck, just think about what didn't get in.
Clinton Lake serves summer fun
By Meghan Brune Jayplay writer
Thinking about the end of the semester? Wishing you could spend a weekend away from campus, schedules and the general hustle of city life?
Clinton Lake is the answer, and it is about six miles west of Lawrence. The lake can be reached by taking Clinton Parkway to the dead end and then following the signs into the park.
The park was created in the 1980s by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and includes areas known as Overlook Park, Rockhaven Park, Woodridge Park and Bloomington Park. The lake has areas for hiking, biking, fishing, swimming, camping and picnicking. Eleven miles of bike
trails circle from the Overlook Park to the west boat ramp and four miles of trails surround the outside of the park.
David Buchanan, Wichita sophomore, uses the bike trails around Clinton Lake to train for a philanthropy project he is doing with his fraternity. It's a cross-country bike ride benefiting Journey Of Hope, which is an organization of murder victims' families that advocate alternatives to the death penalty. Buchanan favored the trails because of the good roads and minimal traffic.
"It is nice to get out of the city once and awhile." Buchanan said.
Between the trails, camp grounds are located through out the park. Campers are required to reserve an area and to pay a camp-
ingfee. Around August, Bob Bruce, Leawood freshman, and his friends enjoyed occasional trips to the lake.
"We usually stay for the night, grill, swim and do a little partying," Bruce said. "The sheriffs try to keep the noise down in the park, but we still have a good time."
Park Ranger Jim Bell has started to see an increase in the number of park visitors. He said he thinks it is still too cool for most campers.
"The water temperature has to be around 80 degrees and right now it is about 60 degrees." Bell said.
Safety is a concern for Park Rangers. They are on hand in the visitor's center and patrol the park.
Bell said Memorial Day weekend was the unofficial kick-off to summer activities.
Last weekend, Hashinger Hall planned to have its annual Hash Barbecue at Clinton Lake, said Heather Young, Hashinger resident assistant. The rain kept festivities contained to the porch of the residence hall.
This would have been the third year for the residents to meet at Clinton Lake, and last year the event drew about 100 residents and friends who played softball, frisbee and volleyball at Overlook Park.
"It is always a fun time to be out at the lake and get to meet and hang out with friends," said Young, Abilene senior.

Have no fear, because as summer approaches, so do the possibilities of fantasmagorical live music at the venues in our backyard. A quick search of Pollstar, www.pollstar.com, gives a comprehensive listing of the live music coming to the area. Tons of shows are coming to Kansas City, so wrap on your sandals, load up the cooler and count the days until finals are through.
Festivals are the most popular summer option because one ticket gives access to dozens of bands. One event that looks particularly striking is the One Love Festival at City Market, 20 E. Fifth St., Kansas City, Mo., May 31. From the lineup, it looks like an allday, feel-good reggae vibe with headliners Toots and the Maytals, along with others such as Stone Love and Luciano.
Ozzfest returns to Sandstone Amphitheater, 633 N. 130th St., Bonner Springs, August 20. Apparently Mr. Osbourne will have to leave his loving, television savvy family to go on tour with angst-ridden metal-heads.
The Down from the Mountain Tour features rootsy artists capitalizing on what music moguls are now calling "O Brother Syndrome" comes to the Starlight Theater, 6601 Swope Parkway, Kansas City, Mo., August 13. Artists include Ricky Skaggs, Ralph Stanley, Del McCourey and Alison Kraus.
A huge number of classic rockers hit the road this summer with Kansas City as a stop. Van Halen frontmen David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar are billing themselves as the "uncontested champs of Rock and Roll." The evening will be unforgettable, unless you drink too much, of course. The concert is at Sandstone June 6.
Along the same lines, Deep Purple and the Scorpions play July 19, Foreigner and Bad Company play June 23, John Mellencamp July 28, and the epic power trio Rush August 1. All are to play at Sandstone.
If you're still mourning that big Phish that got away, the String Cheese Incident and Widespread Panic both return to Kansas City this summer on different dates. Their joint shows at Sandstone and Riverport last year sparked frustration from the devoted fans of each band about who should play first, last and longest. String Cheese plays at the Starlight Amphitheater June 29. Widespread Panic plays the same venue July 5.
And who could forget summertime favorites Dave Matthews Band? Any band that has a Ben and Jerry's ice cream flavor named after it must put on a good show. It "plays" at Sandstone Sept. 3.
Although these shows are the big guns, there will surely be smaller and cheaper local events going on in Lawrence that won't necessarily require advance tickets or sunscreen.

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

GRILLED CHEESE
However, even before our food arrived, Baker wasn't pleased.
"It's $5.88 for a grilled cheese sandwich," he said.
"You're paying through the nose for cheese."
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
The sandwich arrived accompanied by ripple potato chips and real silverware.
The reactions were mixed.
Kuhn and I both thought the mix of cheeses were tasty, but Shaffer thought there was too much cheese. Baker was still too stuck on how much the sandwich cost to enjoy it.
"It's just cheese. Why is it over $5?" he said.
It's just cheese. Why is it over载 us? In fact, after some deliberation, we all decided that $5.88 was too much to pay for a grilled cheese sandwich and chips.
Even if it was called a Panini
Even if it was called a Pantier.
General Consensus: Overpriced, but tasty.
Brown Bear Brewery; Heckled by Barflies
"You're doing a story about grilled cheese sandwiches? Surely you've got something better to write about." one of them said. "Come down here and I'll give you a better story idea."
The atmosphere at the Brown Bear was by far our favorite and just like Cheers, down to the bar flies who heckled us for about 10 minutes when we arrived.
After listening to an old farmer pitch a story about the Lawrence Technical College, we turned our attention to Seth Roberts, Brown Bear bartender.
"We sell a fair amount of grilled cheese sandwiches," Roberts said. "Mostly to sorority girls and small children."
The Brown Bear grilled cheese was $4.28. It came served with tomatoes, lettuce and a big pile of waffle fries.
The testers all agreed this sandwich was fantastic.
The esters an agreed this sand a left was handicap "This one is great," Shaffer said. "It's not as fancy as the Java Break sandwich, but it's crusty and good."
"Plus the price is way better," Kuhn said.
The rest of our time at the Brown Bear was spent chatting with Roberts and bemoaning our under-21 status.
"All that's missing from this meal is a beer." Baker said.
Unfortunately, Roberts assured us that the Brown Bear strictly adheres to Kansas liquor laws.

General Consensus: Oh, so good.
Quinton's: The End of the Road
While we waited for our Quinton's grilled cheese, our waitress, Bridget Morrisey, Ottawa junior, gave us her thoughts on grilled cheese sandwiches.
"I love the grilled cheese from Einstein Brothers," she said. "Seriously, I crave it."
She didn't have as many good things to say about Quinton's grilled cheese.
"I get mad when people order it because there's so many other more exciting things to order here," she said.
We were worried after that, but the sandwich
AARON LERNER/KANSAN
Jason Kirk, Lawrence junior, works the grill at the Brown Bear Brewery, 729 Massachussetes St. The grilled cheese sandwiches served there were named the Kansan's favorite.
"This is really good," Kuho said. "I like the flavor."
itself turned out to be quite good. At only $4.54, it came in a basket with a bag of jalapeno chips and had a nice buttery flavor.
But Baker thought the cheese was a bit too gooey. "I had to wrestle the cheese to eat the sandwich." he said.
And Shaffer said that while she liked the Quinton's sandwich, she thought the presentation at Brown Bear made that sandwich superior.
Ultimately we ended up deciding that, while definitely good, the Quintin's sandwich didn't quite hold up to the Brown Bear's.
General Consensus: A close second.
Now, it's up to you. Go out and eat the Brown Bear's sandwich, our favorite, and sample a few other places too. We hear Einstein Brothers makes a mean grilled cheese.
We had originally considered visiting a other establishment as well, but by the time we left Quinton's, we were all cheesed-out.

BARBECUE
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Jade Mongolian Barbecue, 1511 W. 23rd St., serves this seafood teriyaki dish.
revolving arrangement of chefs chopping and swishing the food with metal tools. Oh, and they'd really prefer if it was "all-you-can-eat."
SARA SHEPHERD/KANSAN
This exact premise has obviously worked well with fad-crazy coastal restaurant-goers, and now Mongolian-style barbecues are slowly creeping into the Midwestern states.
College students may be familiar with the concept from successful examples in Kansas City such as BD's Mongolian Barbecue in Overland Park and Genghis Khan Mongolian Barbecue in Westport.
For those who don't know, the regular barbecue system works like this: People gather around a smorgasbord of raw ingredients, picking and choosing to their specific delight. Starting with meat, there's assorted seafood such as shrimp and scallops, beef, pork and chicken. Vegetables include staples of stir-fry, like peppers, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, celery, spinach, and more.
Then, after finishing the raw assortment with a hearty handful of noodles and topping it all with a sauce, the person takes the ingredients to a counter where chefs expertly speed-grill it in a dramatic display of chaotic cooking.
Voila, a meal. Not exactly barbecue, but sufficiently filling for the buffet-loving population.
And it's cultural, too. Mongolian barbecues stretch back into Asian history, to the time of legendary Yuan dynasty leader Genghis Khan.
Obviously, when Khan's wind-beaten soldiers met with victory, they celebrated by gorging on entire cows, sheep, camels, etc.. Since barbarians didn't think to carry cooking or eating implements on their pillaging missions, the soldiers instead placed their shields over a fire and cooked the dead animals with their own swords.
Although most present-day Mongols place their battle equipment aside at dinnertime, the legend of Khan's impromptu cooking skills — as well as his love for large portions — has lived on in slightly modified form.
Jade offers several variations on the Mongolian Barbecue template. For instance, Jade offers a selection of ready-made Chinese
dishes on the buffet. Also, customers don't pour on their own sauce. Instead, they must choose a small plastic card that lists one of the 12 sauces, after looking at an explanation of the different types. This card is then given to the chef at the grill.
This limitation took some of the fun out of the meal creation for Ron Pei, Chicago, Ill., junior, who recently at jade Mongolian Barbecue. He said that he preferred to pour on his own sauce.
Pei said that although Mongolian barbecues are just now making an appearance in smaller towns across the United States, they've been a mainstay of Chicago-area cuisine for about 10 years now.
Owner Lisa Nguyen, who also oversees Lawrence's Jade Garden, 1410 Kasold Drive, said the
sauce is handled strictly by the chefs as a precautionary measure.
"People who put in too much sauce or too little end up with bad-tasting food," Nguyn said. "The cooks here have a better knowledge of how much sauce will taste good on the other ingredients."
Nguyn is optimistic.
Whether Jade's sauces, chefs and Asian decor will bring out Lawrence's inner Mongolian, only the sands of time will tell.
"Everybody loves Mongolian barbecue," she said. And even those who don't, can "just eat Chinese."

RAWK SNOB
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
If beginnings can be classified as abrupt in any conceivable way, the one that kicks off "Transpositional Landscapes" fits the bill.
The song jumps to life with Jason Gibbs' looped four-note flute riff nearly drowning out backward keyboard surges and pulsing, distant-sounding drum beats. The music melts and mutates throughout the song as the flutes seem to metamorphosis into xylophone sprinklings and fleets of bassoons.
But in spite of these nuances, the music tends to blur into opaque shadows of new-age clichés such as synthesized tor-
rental human sighs. Elisa Salisin's Laurie Anderson-on-Xanex delivery of Gilbery Marhoefer's lyrics is soothing, but doesn't help keep it out of new-age territory at all. Her breathy, self-conscious delivery of lyrics describing otherworldly geographic phenomenon is too easy to tune out. The biggest disappointment; however, is the song's ending. After enduring the entire piece, the listener's reward is a hasty fade-out.
623 Vermont 749-5067
This massive one-song album consists of two discs containing two different mixes of the full version of "Transpositional Landscapes." According to the liner notes, the blue disc is
"more expansive" and the red disc is "more intimate, with the orchestral instruments in higher relief."
Yes, some parts of the red disc are louder in the mix and different stages of the song's building textures are paired with different stanzas of the poem, but listening to the two versions back-to-back doesn't yield a drastically different listening experience. The disc also features a seven-minute remix and a condensed five-minute version if you're in need of a Landscapes fix but are out of sick days at work.
While this may not be a historic album, I still must thank God for these Apes. They have gone to great lengths with Landscapes to create a meaningful musical experience that requires the listener's full attention and can be appreciated from slightly different perspectives.
Like a movie, it is meant to be appreciated in its entirety. Unlike a movie, Landscapes never reaches any kind of climax within the song, instead maintaining the same rhythm throughout with minimal alterations in tones and melodies.
They boast the best of intentions, but until The Apes of God decide upon a destination for bold musical journeys such as this, we're in for a very long, uneventful ride.
P. S. We'll miss you, Lane.

COMMENTARY
Newest Moby a good introduction
By Levi Chronister Associate Sports Editor
Moby has never been quite like other musical artists.
From releasing an alternative rock album (Animal Rights in 1996) on the heels of an electronic masterpiece, (1995's Everything is Wrong) and from blues and gospel samples with electronica (1999's platinum-selling Play) the Christian, vegan environmentalist has eschewed the rules of the music business.
Now, rather than putting out a greatest hits album like most other artists, Moby is releasing a greatest styles album, 18, on May 14.
18, the name of a song on the album, the number of songs on the album, and the number of years Moby has been a DJ, is a
collection of new songs in Moby's best styles since 1984.
His early ambient and more recent blue-electronica styles figure heavily on the album, though it leads with the first single, "We Are All Made of Stars," an appropriately up-tempo number, even if it does lack the star cameos from its video.
Next come a series of six Play inspired songs, most in the blues mode, but a couple in the slow, soft, melancholy style featured on the last half of that album.
"Fireworks" returns to oldschool Moby, featuring a beautiful piano line and soaring background music around a comforting lack of vocals, and "Extreme Ways" feels like what Moby would have written in 1996 had he stuck with electronica.
Having intelligently stayed away from his stumble into guitar rock, Moby makes a misstep into hip-hop on "Jam for the Ladies." Guest vocalists Angie Stone and MC Lyte both flow nicely, but the song just feels out of place.
The next six songs would fit nicely in the "Everything is Wrong" era and are highlighted by "Sunday (The Day Before My Birthday)" and Sinead O'Connor's vocals on "Harbour."
Two more bluesy songs finish the album, but by the time one hears all 18 tracks, they sound more like castoffs from Play than songs in a similar style.
18 is a nice album for anyone looking for a Moby introduction, but if you're looking for great Moby songs, buy an older Moby album or pull one from your CD rack.

The image shows two dancers in a dynamic pose, balancing on their hands and legs with their bodies twisted to create a circular motion. The dancer on the left has one arm extended upwards and the other bent at the elbow, while the dancer on the right holds the hand of the dancer on the left with an extended finger. Both dancers are wearing dark tank topes and light-colored skirts or pants. Their posture suggests they are practicing a dance technique that requires coordination and strength.

DeVry basketball team recruits 1986 Branson star
Kansas City's DeVry Institute of Technology basketball fans might see a dramatic turnaround next year after the recruitment of Branson, Mo., native Cletus Johnson.
Johnson, a 34-year-old, 5-foot-9-inch, 237-
pound shooting guard, is the most highly touted recruit in Kansas City DeVry's history. An all-league performer in 1986, he once scored 20 points while leading Branson High to a city title.
Nicknamed "The Mustached Maestro" because of his trademark facial fuzz, Johnson is one of four DeVry starting basketball players to sport mustaches.
Johnson
A
He's expected to be a key player against DeVry rivals ITT Technical Institute.
Johnson does not see himself as the typical shooting guard.
"I can do this, that and the other thing —I'm a jock of all trades," he said. "I'm going to be serious about success in basketball while also getting a career-oriented, technology-based education."
The tuition increase at the University of Kansas has created new, unforeseen victims: the male sophomores of Fall 2002.
More victims created by KU budget crisis
Enrollment at KU is predicted to go down next fall because of tuition increases. A smaller freshman class means fewer dating options for some returning male students.
"Man, I won't even be able to tell people it's just because I'm a freshman that I can't get a date," said Matt Lambert, Boston freshman. "Now it's just going to be obvious who's lame, and who's able to get jiggy with it."
KU has offered no contingency plan for any student who was counting on finding the love of his life in the incoming freshman class.
Provost David Shulenburger could not speak officially for the University on this matter, but said that he personally felt "really bad for all those cradle-robbers who won't be able to find dates."

Student trampled while camping for upcoming 'Star Wars Episode II'
SOUTH WIND 12 — Anxious moviegoers heading to Friday night's opening of Jason X unknowingly walked all over local nerd Corey Rickards, Hays junior.
By Adrian Zink Kansan satire writer
Rv Adrian Zink
Rickards said he had been lying in that spot for the last week in anticipation of the release of Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones on May 16.
"I'm glad I finally got that wake-up call," he said. "As soon as I felt all of my bones breaking and my precious blood started oozing out of most of my orifices, something inside me said 'Hey! What are you doing? Why don't you just go on with your life like everyone else? You'll see the movie eventually, if not the first night."
Rickard was life-flighted to KU Med Center in Kansas City, Kan., where he vowed to start a new life as soon as he's healed.
"I'm gonna stop fantasizing about the whole Princess Leia thing," he said. "The reason I never had a girlfriend was that I couldn't find any with the hair buns like that."
This wasn't Rickard's first instance of being trained while camping out for a *Star Wars* film.
"When I camped out for the first one, I was wearing my Darth Vader outfit, so it protected me from the kind of crushing I recently received," he said. "My wounds were so severe this time because of my Jar-jar outfit. It's made of thin rubber. It even has a retractable tongue. Well, 'had' one I suppose."
Rickard's friends said they were happy he finally chose to stop obsessing about *Star Wars*.
"Maybe this means he'll stop trying to fight me with a light saber whenever I take his Ewok porn," said roommate Dave Churlinski. Burlington junior.

Site helps KU students 'do it later'
By Brandon Gav
ByBrandon Gay
Kansan Satire Writer
Anew Web site is helping University of Kansas students crack down on the temptation to do homework, write papers and read textbooks.
KU has signed up for the site. www.doitlater.com, said Benjamin McCarthy, Topeka senior.
McCarthy collected student donations totaling $500 to pay for a one year doilater.com subscription. The donation drive began after KU paid $4,000 for a subscription to www.turnitin.com, a web page that helps instructors spot plagiarism in student's papers.
"I had a seven page paper on the use of propaganda during World War II due last Friday and doilitater.com helped me give Roy Williams really big ears and a funky nose job. It was great," said Sarah Thompson, Beloit junior. "I've got a big physics project coming up—I can't wait to challenge my roommate to a tic tac toe tournament."
The new Web site helps students procrastinate with tie toe toe, love quizzes and really cool pictures of Roy Williams that can be warped with the click of a mouse.
A few of the other popular features of the online procrastination publication include a shrine to cheese and a Norwegian beer trivia game. A shrine to cheese byproducts is in the works.
McCarthy said there were some things KU couldn't take away from students.
"They can take away our ability to plagiize," he said. "But our right to procrastinate—that's sacred, man."

New codes adopted to help rid Towers of the roach problem
By Caroline Boyer Kansan staff writer
In response to a survey of cockroach problems in Jayhawker Towers, the Department of Student Housing is adopting new spraying policies to better control the pests.
The department is responding to the continuing problem by changing spraying methods and making it easier for officials to ensure that tenants are keeping their residences up to health and safety codes. This stemmed from surveys Sue Lyn Johnson, Tower A resident, sent to other residents in March after she had a cockroach problem in her apartment.
Eric Grospitch, assistant director for the department, said apartment cleanliness was still the main issue. He said the Student Housing Advisory Board had requested a rewrite in the department's policies in the student housing handbook.
"It will give us some teeth in the situation, so we can say I'm glad you've decided to live this way, but it's affecting your neighbors and you'll have to change."
Eric Grospitch assistant director of Student Housing
The former policy was written as more of a request for residents to keep apartments clean, Grospitch said. The new policy will allow the department to take residents through the disciplinary process if it is found that they are not keeping up to health and safety codes during semester cleaning inspections. The first action taken against the resident would be a warning. Other potential disciplinary action according the department's handbook includes probation and removal from student housing.
"It will give us some teeth in the situation, so we can say 'I'm glad you've decided to live this way, but it's affecting your neighbors and you'll have to change,'" Grospiitch said.
The department will also change its spraying policy. If one apartment requests a spraying, the neighboring apartment that shares a kitchen wall will be required to be sprayed as well.
Johnson had a problem with roaches in her apartment, despite passing her cleaning inspections. Johnson, Lawrence graduate student, wrote to the department and conducted a survey in her tower to see if her neighbors were also having problems. She sent 75 surveys and got back 10 replies, with at least seven indicating roach problems.
"I just needed to do it for myself to take care of myself, and the primary motive was my concern about myself and my fellow tenants." Johnson said.
Grospitch said he had thought that the issues with roaches from last year had been taken care of. He said he hadn't heard of any pest problems until Johnson gave him the surveys.
"What she has done is help us get the ball rolling," Grosnitch said.
Jason Hwang, Tower C resident, said he had had some cockroaches at the beginning of the year, though he was able to take care of them with Raid. He said he thought that if a resident was asked to have their apartment sprayed, the resident should be willing to comply.
"What do you have to lose by getting sprayed?" Hwang, Overland Park sophomore, said. "Sure it may be a pain in the short-run, but in the long-run it's definitely a good thing."
The department is investigating getting some bids to have a contractor come in to spray unilaterally, but Grospitch said it may be hard to set up with the budget cuts.
Johnson said she was happy that the department was willing to work with the tenants.
"I think they've gone to exceptional lengths to provide a better quality of living for the towers," Johnson said.

Students evacuate Haworth and Malott Halls because of a gas leak. Students said the smell of gas yesterday was overwhelming, and that it gave them headaches. Less than an hour later, officials declared the buildings safe for students to return to.

Gas leak forces evacuation
By Adam Pracht
Kansan staff writer
Students and professors were evacuated from Haworth and Malott halls as the smell of natural gas began to fill the air just after 11 a.m. vesteday
The exact cause of the smell was not identified, but the buildings were deemed safe less than an hour later.
Teresa Scalise, Des Moines, Iowa junior, said she was worried when occupants were evacuated.
"It was kind of scary when it happened," she said. "I'm glad they got us all out of there, but apparently it's fine now."
Alicia Peterson, Shawnee Mission junior and teaching assistant, said the lab she taught was just beginning when the call came to
evacuate. She said the evacuation went smoothly.
Captain Nathan Stover, acting battalion chief for the Lawrence/Douglas County Fire Department, said that at about 11:15 a.m., people in Haworth and Malott halls called emergency numbers to report a sulfur smell.
Members of the KU Public Safety Office, Facilities Operations and Environment, Health and Safety arrived as the students were evacuated.
Mike Russell, director of Environment, Health and Safety, said they checked Haworth then Malott halls and found the levels of natural gas were too small to be measured by their instrumentation. The human nose was more sensitive than their instruments and that's why the gas was detected, he said.
Officials declared the area was safe at about noon, and students returned to class.
Russell said they hadn't found the exact source of the gas leak,but said a pipe delivering natural gas to both buildings had a small crack.
Russell said that Facilities Operations as well as Environment, Health and Safety would be looking for the source of the leak.
"It's a humongous maintenance headache, that's for sure." he said.
Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said there was not a danger to students and that no one reported any ill effects from the gas.

Drive-in movie to follow Day on the Hill
By Jessica Tims
Kansan staff writer
After the rescheduled Day on the Hill, Student Union Activities will turn parking lot 91 east of Memorial Stadium into a 1950s style drive-in theater tomorrow night.
Aaron Passman, Towanda junior and SUA spectrum films coordinator, said the drive-in movie would take the place of Floating Flicks. In past years the SUA had sponsored a film that was projected onto a screen floating on Potter lake.
"People were getting kind of tired of Floating Flicks," he said. "The drive-in is something different, I think, because a lot people haven't been to one."
National Lampoon's Animal House will be the film projected onto the 15-by-20-foot screen. Passman said it was chosen because most people knew what the movie was about.
Passman said the SUA hired Convention and Entertainment Systems from Kansas City to set
"It is funny," he said. "It is the mother of all college movies."
up the screen and projector. He said the company would use a low FM frequency that would allow viewers to listen to the movie on their car radios. He said that sound would also be projected over the crowd for those who would like to sit outside on blankets or in lawn chairs.
Before the movie, the annual Day on the Hill will take place in the same parking lot. Day on the Hill was originally scheduled for last Saturday, but was postponed because of rain.
Dawn Patterson, program advisor for the SUA, said that King James Version was the only band scheduled to play last weekend that would be unable to perform tomorrow.
Patterson said the band was scheduled to play another festival this weekend, so Thulium would take their place.
"They have sent us press stuff for the last two years, and we have been looking for a place for them to play." Patterson said.
The show will open with KJHK's Farmer's Ball winner Hardaway followed by Thulium, No Lessons, Hotsauce, Emilia Dahlin, and The Anniversary.
Dav on the Hill schedule
Farmer's Hardaway 12 p.m.
Thulium 1 p.m.

features University dancers orchestra conductor to make final appearance
By Jessica Tims Kansan staff writer
This weekend will mark Brian Priestman's final appearances as conductor of the University Symphony Orchestra.
Priestman, who came to the University 10 years ago, will lead the orchestra in concerts with the University Dance Company and University Choir.
"I am 75; it's time I live my life," he said. "I am anxious about what happens next."
Priestman said the first half of the concert would feature the dancers on stage with the orchestra in the pit. For the second half of the show, the orchestra will move to the stage and perform with the University Choir.
Brandi Scallorn, Lee's Summit,
Mo. junior and president of the dance company, said performing with live music was different than the recorded music the dancers were accustomed to.
"There is a lot of fear," she said. "A lot of times live music is slower. The CD is generally faster. There is a lot of anxiety about it. But the orchestra is beautiful and wonderful, and they will be great."
In addition to his solo, Suzeau cochoreographed "Simple Symphony"
Scallorn said the company and the orchestra would practice together twice before the production. She said the company began practicing in January with CDs of the music.
Patrick Suzeau, professor of dance, will perform a solo, "Winsome Wench and Handsome Hero Vanquishes Vile Villain."
Each of the four movement has a different mood, with a dark middle section.
with professor of dance, Muriel Cohan. Suzeau said after hearing the music, he and Cohan decided to choreograph a dance to it.
"The second is very rhythmic and the end is very exuberant," he said. "So it made for contrast and we wanted to go with that."
The concerts will be at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow and 2:30 p.m.on Sunday at the Lied center. Tickets are available at the Lied Center, Murphy Hall and SUA box offices and are $7 for the public and $5 for students and senior citizens.

Professor's funeral to be held tomorrow
Professor emeritus of economics Richard B. Sheridan died Tuesday at his home. Services will be at 10 a.m. tomorrow at Plymouth Congregational Church. Burial will be in Oak Hill Cemetery.
"My father passed away peacefully at 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday," said Margaret Sheridan, his daughter. "He took his last breath while my mother, our minister and I held hands and said a prayer for him. I am very proud of my father."
Sheridan taught in the economics department for 37 years. The Emporia native was born Feb. 10, 1918. He served four years as a communications officer on the USS Kretcher during World War II. He also completed a master's degree from the University and a doctorate from the London School of Economics. In 1952, he married his wife, Audrey, and began teaching at the University.
Sheridan spent his retirement years writing about Kansas history and the underground railroad in Douglas County. His books include: Sugar and Slaxy, Doctors and Slaves and Freedom's Cruci along with numerous journal articles. He was honored with a Fulbright Scholarship in 1962 and a Festschrift in 1996. In 1988, he was electerd a fellow of the British Royal Historical Society.
Survivors include his wife, Audrey, a son Richard D., of Chico, Calif.; and a daughter, Margaret Sheridan, of Sacramento, Calif.
The family suggests memorials to Hospice of Douglas County and the Visiting Nurses Association, sent in care of the mortuary, Rumsey's 601 Indiana, Lawrence, 66044.

Oliver Hall plays host to annual block party
Oliver Hall will have its annual block party from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. tomorrow in the hall parking lot.
The event, which is free and open to all students, will have a Mr. Twister, which is a ride that students strap themselves on and get spin; dunk tank and fastball radar, provided by Fun Services. A disc jockey will spin tunes from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and local band Full Feature will play from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
UPS donated prizes, and Coca-Cola will provide free drinks. Cotton candy and snow cones will be served. The Oliver Hall dining center will serve lunch outside for those with a meal plan.
Bryan Alonzo, Oliver president and Mission freshman, said this year's theme, "Shaking the Hill," showed that the hall could get the attention of the other residence halls.
"We wanted something that would single us out, because we're down in the valley while the rest of the dorms are on the hill," Alonzo said about Oliver Hall's location away from the rest of the halls on Dailey Hill.

University webcast's future threatened
By Maggie Koerth Kansan staff writer
A new federal proposal concerning Internet radio might knock KJHK's webcast off the air.
The Internet Radio Tracking Rule was proposed by the U.S. Copyright Office in February. Since then, it has met with fierce resistance from numerous Internet broadcasters. They said the rule would make it financially impossible for them to continue broadcasting by making stations pay royalties for songs they play. Stations would also have to upgrade their systems to provide all the information wanted by record companies.
KJHK 90.7 joined with Internet broadcasters all over the nation Wednesday in a Day of Silence, when all participating stations shut off their free Internet streams in an effort to inform the public of the issue.
Phil Cauthon, Lawrence graduate student and KJHK's Internet director, said the rule would require stations to provide reports to the recording industry containing information such as the title, International Recording Code and time of transmission for each song played because of copyright issues.
Caution said it would be nearly impossible for KIHK to meet those requirements.
"It's mind-boggling trying to figure out how we would keep track of the time played on-line," he said. "And I don't even know what the International Recording Code is."
In addition to these requirements, stations would also have to maintain a log of when listeners logged in and out of the broadcast.
Cauthon said KJHK didn't have the money or resources to comply with the requirements.
"We would need either a couple hundred thousand dollars or a couple grad students who were totally dedicated to nothing but KIHK." he said.
Bob Newton is the former operations manager for KLZR 105.9 FM. He now works part time with KJHK.
He said the music's format would make it difficult for KJHK staff to comply
"This is just a case of the copyright office caving in to the recording industry.
They're looking at Internet and cd-ers and they realize that if they don't do something now
they'll be out of the
loop."

with the rules.
"They play a lot of vinyl, there would be no electronic log of that," he said. "They would literally have to type in all that information by hand."
Newton said he knew of computer systems that could keep track of a song's title, performer and length, but he didn't know how stations would go about
"I just think that it's so cumbersome that it would never work in real life," he said.
recording all the information asked for in the Internet Radio Tracking Rule.
The Internet Tracking Rule comes on the heels of another controversial issue in Internet radio. Also in February, a Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel (CARP) made recommendations concerning the royalty rates a webcast station must pay to record labels.
Cauthon said those rates were unfair because KJHK already paid royalties for the same songs it played over traditional radio. He said he didn't think the recommendations were really a copyright issue.
"This is just a case of the copyright office caving in to the recording industry," he said. "They're looking at Internet and cd-rs and they realize that if they don't do something now they'll be out of the loop."
But Tom Volek, professor of journalism who teaches First Amendment law, said the recording industry had every right to request royalties.
"Profit-making doesn't enter into it," he said. "You still don't have the right to
use someone else's music without their permission."
Volek said the same issues of copyright and royalties came up every time a new medium for music emerged.
Volek said Web cast stations would likely end up having to pay royalty fees.
"The National Association of Broadcasters was actually formed to resist the application of royalty fees to the radio," he said.
Both copyright proposals will come before the head of the Library of Congress on May 21.
In the meantime, Cauthon and other Web broadcasters are hoping to garner public and congressional support
"People who feel strongly about this should write their congressmen," he said.

New birth control patch available at health center

By Summer Lewis Kansan staff writer
A new form of birth control for females is available as a patch worn on the skin. Watkins Memorial Health Center is the only pharmacy in Lawrence that offers the new patch.
The patch is called Ortho Evra and was available at Watkins. Cathy Thrasher, chief pharmacist at Watkins, said it was available only by prescription.
Ortho Evra is a thin, beige patch that is nearly two inches in diameter. It is a weekly birth control patch applied to the skin to prevent pregnancy.
The patch is worn for one week and replaced on the same day every week for three consecutive weeks. It is not worn on the fourth week in order to allow for a menstrual period. The patch can be worn on the buttocks, abdomen, upper torso or upper outer arm. It will not fall off during bathing, swimming or exercising.
According to the Web site for Ortho Evra, it is 99 percent effective. Clinical studies compared the patch with birth control pills and found it to be as effective.
Rick Awbrey, pharmacist at Hy-Vee said that both forms prevented pregnancy in the same way.
"The primary mechanism is inhibition of ovulation." Awbrey said.

Thrasher said that the patch was new enough that few people knew about it.
"Evra was available April 22, so we

haven't sold much of it." Thrasher said. "If students are interested, they should discuss the change with their health care provider."
Evra costs more than birth control pills, but is not available at other places in Lawrence.
The price for one patch is $13.45, Thrasher said, and box of three patches costs $33.30. The birth control pill, Ortho Tricyclen costs $7 per cycle.

Ortho Evra, a 3-time patch, goes into the bloodstream the same way birth control pills do, except it goes via a patch that a user attaches to her body three times a month. The patch should be put on an area of skin that is not rubbed by clothing and it should not be applied to the skin in the same area twice to prevent skin irritations.
Parade to show cars, celebrate passion for art
By Lauren Beatty Kansan staff writer
Winding its way down Massachusetts Street at noon tomorrow, the seventh annual Art Tougeau parade will feature elaborately decorated bikes, cars, wheelchairs and just about anything else on wheels.
The parade's purpose is to provide revelers with good time, said Charles Jones, Douglas County commissioner and founder of the parade.
Festivities draw locals and non-residents to downtown Lawrence. This year's entries come from such diverse cities as Omaha, Neb., St. Louis, and Fayetteville, Ga., said Jones.
"They make art cars because there's an artistic inclination and a love of cars." Jones said.
Jones said he came up with idea for the parade when the Smithsonian Art Train traveled across the country and stopped in Lawrence in 1996. He said his wife encouraged him to create an art car, or a car that was decorated or painted, to promote the train.
Jones said the name Art Tougeau was a play on Art Nouveau, an art movement in the early 1900s.
"I had been threatening to make an art car for years," Jones said. "I thought they were funny and interesting."
Since the first parade, Art Tougeau has gained fame around the country. Pictures of the cars have been used on the cover of a math textbook and featured in a book about Kansas curiosities.
After the parade there is a trophy presentation and a video will be shown.

FRIDAY FACEOFF
Peaceful protests on campus give voice to student concerns
Demonstrations are happening left and right these days, promoting peace, higher education, the environment and even Lee. Why all the ruckus? Why should students care? You see the signs and groups of people standing around and wonder if they are making any difference other than making the time between classes louder and more crowded. Many people seem to think that these demonstrations are pointless and annoying at best, especially on college campuses in the Midwest, far away from many of the conflicts.

young, active people who are interested in learning more and making a positive difference while combating anathy at the same time.
Peaceful protest is a proven method for expressing a general opinion in large setting. College campuses are one of the best places to hold these demonstrations because there are many
Demonstrations on campuses and in college towns often prove to be one of the most effective ways of getting the word out about situations about which the average student knows very little. They are not always meant to change anything, but rather to inform people about what is happening in the world and to mobilize interested people for a larger cause.
If students and administrators stop to watch a demonstration, taking a minute to read the fliers and posters displayed nearby, and take some interest in the cause, the demonstration has been successful.
If not for the demonstrations against war and promoting peace, many people would remain convinced that the youth of America were indeed as self-centered and apathetic as many of the older generations would believe.
If not for the displays and silent protests against the conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians, many people would go on thinking that it isn't still happening. If not for the numerous tuition rallies, far fewer students would know what was happening on this very campus regarding their tuition dollars. Even the "I Agree with Lee" campaign caused people across campus to decide whether they agreed.
The idea is to get people talking and openly discussing the issues that are happening all around them, causing them to learn from each other and
create more informed opinions. The best way to do this is to hold an event that makes a noticeable impression on campus or in other areas around town. People stop to ask questions or take a flier and walk on. In the process, more and more active-minded students can feel confident that they are
Campus rallies have proven to be effective in the past in influencing the decisions of the administration, and in some cases, even the government. When officials and administrators see that people are not apathetic and really do care about certain issues, they are less likely to let these concerns slide.
Students who put time and effort into organizing displays, rallies, marches and peaceful protests care about the world and its many problems They are not caught up in what is wrong with the world, but rather seek to illustrate the good in how caring and concerned students can make a difference by letting people know that they have a voice and by making those voices heard.
Too much protesting can dull message of issues at stake

It started with our parent's generation. Then, it was considered radical and dangerous. People were jailed, people were hurt, people acted in manners that followed them for the rest of their lives. Things were accomplished, but usually a higher price was paid that anyone had really expected.
Now it's just a way to pass the weekend. Protesters line the sidewalk of campus. They meet in local parks. They travel to other states. Sometimes their purposes are genuine, their intentions true, their goals praiseworthy. Other times, it seems as though it's just another reason to argue.
people stopped listening to the point nearly a generation ago.
During the course of this school year, I have witnessed countless protests. There's always some race, sex, organization, cause or conflict that feels it deserves the opportunity to stand in front of strangers and yell. We've rallied for tuition, the war on terror, for peace, for women's rights, for religion, for no more Starbucks in Lawrence. Students wear ribbons, make posters and even skip classes to go on some grand protesting adventure all to make a point.
In an ideal world, people would all care about what others thought and felt. But if it were an ideal world, we wouldn't have reasons to protest. Now we're facing the adults of the country who have lived our student lives and remember their own protests. Whether they then sympathize with us or laugh at us
The problem is that
is something for each individual to decide. But as a mass, who is to say that they even care?
Protesting is like anything else. As in the film industry, eventually all liberal ideas and actions lose their shock value and become just another aspect of entertainment. You place the "f" word in enough movies and people stop being stunned by its existence. You place some kind of protest on every street corner of town, and eventually people will stop looking at your signs and hearing your words.
Rather, they drive blindlv bv.

went body that it's unfair, what good are we ultimately doing? Protesting may be seen as the last resort, the final act before all is lost, but all too often it's also seen as the only way to make people listen. With this mind set, we'll never accomplish anything.
Zafar is a Wichita freshman.
I'm not here to say which causes are worthy of protest and which are not. Rather, I'm asking that as individuals, we start using our own heads in these matters. Do we really want to lessen the effect of standing together with one loud voice in the eye of the public just so that we can get back at some organization? Wouldn't it be better to use this amazing form of free speech on things that can actually be changed, things that can be impacted for the better? Or is protesting really just another way to pass time?
Each protester has his or her reasons for standing in the rain on a crowded sidewalk and passing out fliers. I'm not here to say that your reasons are wrong or unnecessary. Rallying for such things as peace are grand gestures and, at times, praiseworthy. And, yes, perhaps protesting is the only action that will bring attention to this type of subject.
All I'm asking is that before you start painting your signs, see if perhaps there is a better suited way to achieve your end result. Or at least, if you must protest, do so in an original way. The women who dressed all in black and protested silently stood out because they were unique in their protests. They didn't just create a cluster to block my way to class, they caught my eye.

EDITORIAL
Both organizations at fault in T-shirt mess
Mid-evening with Mangino could have been a beneficial event for the Athletics Department and Junior Greek Council, but it quickly turned into a fiasco over a simple T-shirt design. Both organizations should have worked hard to find a compromise, but because they failed to do so, team spirit for fall football and financial support for a worthy philanthropy will suffer.
The problem started when Junior Greek Council tried submitting two designs for approval from University Trademark and Licensing. The sales from the T-shirts would have gone to raise money for Habitat for Humanity and House that Greeks Built.
Paul Vander Tuig, administrator of University Trademark Licensing, said the first design was rejected because the Jayhawk was overanimated and the image of Mark Mangino was unrecognized.
University Trademark Licensing has every right to closely regulate the use of the Jayhawk and it is important that they do so. This protects the use of the seal, Jayhawk, the letters KU and the slogan, "Rock Chalk Jayhawk."
Junior Greek Council was told exactly what was wrong with the design and it was then sent back to the drawing board for a second try.
The second design was submitted and not approved because of problems with the football helmet. The phrase "Out with the old in with the new/Come see what Mangino can do" that appeared on the shirt was also thought to be disrespectful to former coach Terry Allen.
It is interesting to heart that some people thought the slogan was offensive to the former football coach. When did the University start caring about the feelings of Allen, who was fired with only three games left in the season?
University Trademark Licensing could have been more flexible with Junior Greek Council in approving a design for the t-shirt and Junior Greek Council should have immediately sought the assistance Paul Vander Tuig when creating a t-shirt design.
If this had happened, there would have been a shirt worn supporting the new coach and team and a large amount of money raised to help build another house for Habitat for Humanity.

I just saw, read that a bunch of people have seen Drew Gooden on TRL. Who cares about Drew being on TRL? What are you people doing watching TRL? Losers.

What a bunch of breaking dorks.
The end is near, Milhouse. Not even Lee can help you now.
Wouldn't it be awesome if they made bobble-head dolls of Roy and the basketball team? Think about it. People in the athletic department, get on it.
I know a lot of people who believe the Howe for All sucks and whatever, but do we really have to have 20 comments on the same subject? Yes, a lot of people saw Drew Gooden on TRL, but is it really that important? I mean, come on.
To all the Duke hateres here, I just want to say I love Shane Battier and Jason Williams. Thanks. Bye.
I was just wondering who all the jackers were on campus that watch TRL What a bunch of splooge-moppers.
All my life I have been looking for Mr. Right. Well, it turns out that he's an econ. major with blond hair and amazing blue eyes.
I just thought it should be known that the University of Kansas has the hottest baseball team in the Big 12, and if only we played as well as we looked we would be the best team in the Big 12.
A couple of buddies and I think the University must be full of 13-year-old girls if everybody is watching TRL

People who watch TRL should be shot. People who called the newspaper to tell them that they saw a KU basketball player on TRL should be shot twice.
Women are just objects for men to look at, and the sooner they realize that the better off we'll all be.
There is a point to the sex column, and it is so everybody knows what's up. I mean, yeah, everybody knows you can have sex outside, but does everyone know the different ways and different places you can have sex outside. Meghan Bainum is totally cool.
I just want to say that red heads are hot, and my girlfriend is a red head, so I totally have a hot girlfriend, just so you guys know.
What surprises me about all the comments in today's Free for All is not that Drew Gooden skipped class to go New York. Man, if I was going to be rich in a month I wouldn't in class either. What surprises me is how many students sit around, and spend their time watching bubble gum pop crap like TRL.
Man, I just walked by one of those sorority houses, and I saw that there was a whole bunch of wieners on forks sticking out of the front lawn, and I don't know who did that or why they did it, but that got to be one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen in my life. Rock on.
I'm not embarrassed at all that Drew Gooden was on TRL, but I'm more offended, disgusted, disgraced and embarrassed that my own alma mater tunes in to TRL in the mass numbers they did. Come on, guys, get a life. We're in college already.
I was just reading all the Drawe Gooden on TRL comments in the Free for All, and I cannot believe how many KU students watch TRL. That's a lot.
Regarding Drew on *TRL*, how many people here watch *TRL* in the first place? My goodness, what does that say about KU?
For all the people that watch TRL and for all the people that call into the Free for All and talk about how they watch TRL why don't you go to class?
To thatude that sits next to me in Psychology 104,
you best get out of my Kool Aid.
To the guy that always stares at the Shannon in my German class, dude, you're weird.
A.
I wanted to know why all these people were watching TRL in the first place. Shouldn't they be studying?
To the Nazi conservatives that keep criticizing the liberals, why don't you go to school in Johnson County, because you obviously don't belong in Lawrence.
I'd rather be criticized for being on TRL than for watching TRL.
It is perfectly normal to eat a peanut butter off a spoon, as long as you don't eat too much.
This is for my son, Jesus. Jesus, you're tops. You teach me new things ever day.
I agree with Francis E. Gorman. Women are beautiful.
I just saw some white boys yelling at a Muslim girl. I hope that's not called slander, but I didn't think it was very tolerant.
So why was everybody watching *TRL* the other day.
Isn't it just for screaming, teenage girls?
If it's so horrible that Drew Gooden went on *TRL* why were so many KU students watching it. Did you see the Free for All today? There were like 20 people who called in about Drew Gooden being on *TRL*. Why weren't you people in class?
I just want to say Drew Gooden is so much cooler than the people watching *TRL*, because he was actually there, and he was on T.V. You people are just losers watching it.
To the person that called in with the Rumplestiltskin quote, it was wrong, and so next time if you are going to call in a movie quote maybe you should get it right, and to the person who thought it was funny, maybe you should learn the movie, too, so if you're going to laugh at something you actually laugh at the right thing.
图
The Rumplestiltskin quote goes, "What's rum? You don't know what rum is? Rumplestiltskin. Rumplestiltskin. Rumplestiltskin's a good man. So are you guys. Frankenstein, have fun with your friends."
I just counted, there was 21 articles about Drew Gooden in the Free for All. What's up with that? This is not Drew Free for All, is it?
I am Stufflebaum, the amphibian avenger, and with my gills, braces and webbed feet I shall save the University. Ha, ha.
Well my friend here claims he can do 35 push ups. I believe he is too much of a wuss to actually get down on the floor and do it, and just a little side note, I did just go get Taco Bell.
My friend just called in and said I was too much of a wuss to get on the floor and do push ups, however, this same friend believes Cutting Gel, the Abtronic and diet pills work. He has a test at seven in the morning to do 35 push ups, and he is eating Taco Bell right now.
All I have to say is McCollum is getting taken down by Oliver.
The cops just busted the party, but McCollum is still down.

Graves says state to face deficit
TOPEKA — With a proposed budget awaiting House debate, Gov. Bill Graves acknowledged that the state is headed for a deficit in the current fiscal year and may be forced to furlough or lav off workers.
Legislative negotiators drafted and sent both chambers a compromise, $4.4 billion budget for the state's 2003 fiscal year, which begins July 1, and the House planned to take it up first yesterday.
Following their debate on the compromise budget, House members expected to take up a proposal to increase taxes to raise money for highway projects, which are financed separately from general government programs. Senators planned to debate proposals for increasing taxes after House members acted on both the budget and transportation plan.
The three senators and three House members who drafted the compromise budget assumed it would require $222 million in tax increases.
But that didn't take into account a shortfall in April revenue collections. Graves released preliminary figures Wednesday showing the state collected $50.3 million less in April revenue collections than expected.
Revenues had trailed the forecast in March, and, officials said, were likely to do so again in May. Total revenue in the 2002 fiscal year, which ends June 30, could end up $100 million below the $4.2 billion that was predicted last month, said State Budget Director Duane Goosen.
A forecast issued March 8, showed the state ending the 2002 fiscal year with $36 million left in its treasury. Instead, the revenue shortfalls in March and April alone would leave a deficit of $41 million.
"You can't pay bills if you don't have cash." Goo森 said.

babette brings glamour to clientele
By Katie Nelson and Lindsay Viner Special to the Kansas
Babette Crowder says she is trying to make women feel better about themselves one person at a time.
Crowder opened her beauty boutique, "babette," in October 2000. The boutique, 924 1/2

babette, at 924 1/2 Massachusetts, offers designer makeup, hair and body care products. The shop, which opened in 2000, features a hair salon as well. babette will open a second store next week in Kansas City.

Store and went on to become a makeup artist for commercial sets and weddings. Ten years later, a friend told her about available property in downtown Lawrence, and Crowder jumped at the opportunity to work her way even further into the cosmetics industry.
She applied for a $100,000
small-business loan and began
been interested in cosmetics, but didn't pursue it as a career until a little more than 10 years ago. While teaching history at the University of Kansas and working on her master's degree, Crowder decided she needed a creative outlet from school.

She began working behind a makeup counter at The Jones
consulting people about the design of the store.
Chris Burns,
a close friend and beginning
designer helped outline
boutique's layout and display system.
He proposed a simple, gallery-style showcase
for her products.
Crowder has three employees and a hair stylist who has a salon in the back of the boutique. During its first year in business, babette surpassed Crowder's goal of $100,000 in revenue.
Crowder's boutique now has 12 product lines, compared to five when it opened. Some lines
are established within the cosmetics industry, but others are newer. She will add Caudalie, a French skincare line that is not available anywhere in the Kansas City area.
Crowder's peers in the Lawrence cosmetics business are taking notice of her boutique.
"She has a great store," said Beauty Brands Salon Spa Superstore manager Katie McLinn.
"We compete a little, but we aren't able to attract some of the same exclusive lines like she is."
Her business-savvy has paid off. Crowder will open her second beauty boutique on May 1. It will be a "space-within-a-space" concept in Beyond Beauty at 6531 West 119th Street in Overland Park.

KANU celebrates 50th anniversary with special activities through year
By Meredith Carr Kansan staff writer
KANU-FM 91.5 continues its celebration of 50 years of programming with a concert by a nationally syndicated radio host tomorrow.
The station has been celebrating since January, and more events will take place through out the year. The next event of the celebration is tomorrow with a concert by Marion McPartland. McPartland is host of a national syndicated program Piano Jazz. The concert will be at the Folly Theater, 300 W 12th Street, in Kansas City, Mo., and will cost $30 per ticket for the public.
"Folly Theater was already planning to bring Marion McPartland into town, and because KANU is the only station in the area to carry Marion's Piano Jazz we thought it would
be a good partnership," said Annie Benskin, corporate development manager.
The next event is a live broadcast of Sunflower Music Festival from Topeka which starts Friday, June 7, and goes until Saturday, June 15. Performers will play all types of music.
"We have never been a part of the Music Festival until last summer," Rachel Hunter, assistant program director, said. "We decided we were going to do two live broadcasts, but they were so successful we're going to broadcast them all."
For the remainder of the celebration events will also take place in surrounding cities.
"The reason we're having our celebration in Topeka, Lawrence and Kansas City is because that is where a majority of our listeners are located." J. Shafer, news director for
KANU-FM, said. "We would like to show them our appreciation for listening by catering to them."
Shafer said approximately half of the station's listeners were in Topeka, and the rest are in Lawrence and Kansas City.
KANU-FM 91.5, located in the Broadcasting Hall behind Marvin Hall, has been home to news, sports, cultural and educational programming as well as AudioReader, a service for the visually impaired, since 1952. The new building will open in 2003 at 1120 W. 11th Street.
Other entertainment acts lined up for the celebration are:
■ "Right Between the Ears," KANU's comedy troupe to perform at Crown Center, 2450 Grand Boulevard, on Saturday, June 29.
■ "Whad 'Ya Know," a popular comic quiz show will perform at the Lied Center-Saturday, July 13. Ticket cost is $30 first-tier seat, and $20 for balcony seats.
A concert titled: "A tribute to Richard Rodgers," will feature the best songs from Broadway on Saturday, Sept. 7. The show will be at the Quality Hill Playhouse, 127 W. 10th, in Kansas City, Mo.
Sunday Sept. 15, KANU's 50th birthday. The staff at KANU is hoping to have the party at its new building site, 1120 W. 11th Street. The party will be open to the public.
A folk music concert at Lawrence's Liberty Hall is co-sponsored with WestSide Folk, and is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 7.

Two students dead after accidental fall
LEXINGTON, Ky. — A college student and a man he was wrestling with died early yesterday after they fell out a third-story window at a University of Kentucky residence hall, a school spokeswoman said.
Jeffrey Pletzer, a 19-year-old University of Kentucky freshman from Villa Hills, was pronounced dead at the scene. Matthew Rzepka, 22, of Bowling Green, who was visiting his brother at the 23-story Kirwan Tower, died later at the University of Kentucky Hospital.
"The two males were apparently wrestling in an open area of the third floor of the dormitory," spokeswoman Mary Margaret
She said she didn't know if alcohol played a factor in the accident, which happened around 2:30 a.m. The window was a sealed, double-pane window, roughly 5 feet wide and 8 feet tall. It was covered with plywood after the accident.
Colliver said. "They smacked against a plate glass window, the window gave out and the two fell three stories to the ground."
Kim Fesmire, an 18-year-old freshman from Paducah, said she was sleeping in her fourth-floor room when she was awakened by the commotion.
"It was chaos — people yelling and screaming and crying ... just running everywhere," she said.
Both of the men died of blunt force trauma to the head, according to coroner's reports. Rzepka had been a student at Western Kentucky University until the summer of 2001.
Lindsey Cooper, an 18-year freshman from Dayton, Ohio, was studying for a biology exam in her 17th floor dorm room at the time and said other students were drilling in from the library.
"Then this just happened out of nowhere. It's awful," she said.
A steady stream of students poured out of the dorm yesterday morning with boxes, lamps, televisions and radios in tow to go home for the summer. Many wiped away streams of tears as they comforted each other.
University of Kentucky President Lee Todd and his wife went to the scene before 3 a.m. to comfort witnesses.
"As a parent, you dread that phone call at 2:30 in the morning like I got," Todd said. "Your heart just goes out to those two families."
At Ohio's Denison University, a 17-year-old girl fell to her death from a fourth-floor dormitory window early Saturday. Alcohol was ruled out as a factor in her death, investigators said.
Anne Thomson of Lake Forest, Ill., had been visiting her sister at the school and stayed awake for about 24 hours. Investigators speculated that Thomson was fatigued and had gotten up in the night to go to the bathroom and mistook the fourth-floor hallway window for her bed.

Dogs run circles around owners
At a local dog club, trainers teach agility to man's best friend
By Erin Beatty and Lindsay Hanson Special to the Kansan
Courtney Shelton instructs her dog on top of the teeter-totter at the Truine Canine Center, 1774 E. 1200 Road, Shelton said that she and Kobe had been going to the center for about half a year.
Dogs will do anything for a treat, and some of their owners will put them through anything for a ribbon.
Erin Marshall, Lawrence resident, takes her dog "No No Sarah" to Triune Canine Training Center, 1774 E. 1200 Rd., in north Lawrence for an hour a week. Marshall's addicted to the agility training, a sport in which she teaches her Jack Russell terrier to shimmy through a timed obstacle course. According to scag-agility.com, dog trainers in England developed the sport in 1978.
Marshall directs No No Sarah off-leash through the course by waving a dog biscuit and shouting words of encouragement. She said the success of her dog depended on the precision of her guidance. In it, a dog maneuvers through any combination of tunnels, jumps, chutes, see-saws and weaves through rows of poles approximately 1 foot apart.
Having spent the last two years of her spare time driving around the country for No No Sarah's agility trials, Marshall said the terrier has tucked about 60 shows under her collar, claiming top honors nearly every time. She said she wasn't sure of how many events No No Sarah had won.
According to Marshall, nothing but ribbons were awarded as prizes.
Her "addiction" showed its first signs three years ago when No No Sarah first attended the training center. The dog began agility training at 10 months, after Marshall discovered the dog's distaste for standard obedience training. She said agility training functioned more as a structured playtime than outright discipline.
"We'd she an hour of training, have a ball, then be pooped in the
car on the way home," Marshall said.
Jan Braman, the Lawrence Kennel Club's agility chair, said the club had about 50 members. She said the club sponsored agility trials at the Lawrence Fairgrounds.
According to adsc-agility.com, the sport was originally modeled after equestrian competitions but has developed its own obstacles, scoring systems and performance ideals.
Other dog owners are also hooked on the sport.
Shannon Vandaveer, Lawrence resident, said her dog Casey, a shepherd-lab mix, attended agility classes for eight months. She said Casey, who
stands about 3-feet-tall, must dedicate more time to mastering tricks because of his large size.
Unlike No No Sarah, some dogs that train for agility don't compete. Carol Dressler, Lawrence resident, said she enrolled her dog Murphy Brown in agility training as a form of obedience. Before the training, Murphy favored chewing on furniture and door frames rather than obeying her master. Dressler said the agility work gave the dog more focus.
Murphy's six weeks of training, which cost $80, produced positive results, she said.
"It made her a lot more attentive." Dressler said.
According to k9club.com,
trainers require dogs to undergo basic obedience training to enter an agility program. At a minimum, the dog must be able to sit, promptly come when called, lie down, hold a brief stay, maintain composure around other dogs and accept handling by strangers.
The Web site also said all dog classifications, big, small, purebred and mixed breed, could compete in agility trials. Judges deduct points for mistakes such as missing a contact zone, incorrect weave entry, non-completion of an obstacle, knocking a bar off and exceeding the time allowed for completion of the course.

Rowing team's varsity eight-boat key to victory
By Brent Wasko
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas rowing team aims to get a little vindication at the Big 12 Invitational.
One of the teams Kansas will face at the Big 12 Invitational, Texas, spoiled the Jayhawks' only home regatta of the season on March 30, defeating them by a significant margin in all four races.
"It's not a rivalry, but we definitely want to beat them," said Kansas junior rower Jen Van Ruyven. "I think that the first time we faced them, it was kind of a fluke, but they took us as some sort of joke."
Tomorrow, Kansas travels to the Longhorns' home in Austin, Texas.
Along with Texas, the Jayhawks will compete against
"A lot of the team is rowing motivated and is excited about what we are doing right now. This could really springboard us into the Central Regional."
Kansas State, Tulsa and Texas Crew, which is not officially affiliated with the University of Texas.
Rob Catloth Kansas rowing coach
"A lot of the team is rowing motivated and is excited about what we are doing right now," Kansas coach Rob Catloth said. "This could really springboard us into the Central Regional."
After struggling in the beginning of the season, the Jayhawks are starting to turn things around.
Last Sunday, Kansas won three out of four races en route to a 13-8 victory against Kansas State.
But the Jayhawks' first varsity eightboat, the boat that can generate the most points for the team, has yet to win a race all season.
Catloth made some lineup changes this week, hoping to find the right combination of rowers for the first varsity eight-boat.
Sophomore Lindsay Abbott, who coxswained the second varsity eight-boat, now coxswains for the first varsity eight-boat.
Freshman Kristi Hainer and sophomore Hayley Dool, who rowed with the second varsity eight-boat, were also moved up to the first varsity eight-boat. Sophomore Beth Olson was promoted from the first varsity four-boat to the first varsity eight-boat.
Former first varsity eight-boat coxswain, junior Jasmin Smith, now works with the second varsity eight-boat. Senior Dana Parsons, who is one of four team captains, and junior Jessica Watson also moved from the first varsity eight-boat to the second varsity eight-boat.
Junior Lauren Royall went from the first varsity eight-boat to the first varsity four-boat.
"We have practiced in the new boat all this week," she said. "It's supposed to help, but we won't truly know until we race."
Catloth said more than just personnel changes should help the Jayhawks have better results against Texas than they had earlier this season.
"Everyone is trying to find their niche on the team." Catloth said. "I think we are pretty set on our approach to things. We just want to get our boatings the way we want them."
Van Ruyven, who rows with the first varsity eight-boat, said she didn't know if the changes would make that much of a difference.
"When we raced Texas before, it was our first race and it was something like their sixth," Catloth said. "We've had a month to really try and get some things together and have some race experience. Hopefully, it will pay off."
The first race in the Big 12 Invitational starts at 8 a.m.

Serena Settlemier pitches against Portland State in a game earlier this season. Settlemeir pitched a complete game for a win against the second-seeded Sooners and went 2-for-2 at the plate to lead the Jayhawks to a 3-1 win over Oklahoma to advance in the Big 12 tournament.
Kansas wins play-in game, then upsets the No. 2-seed Oklahoma Sooners, 3-1
By Ali Brox Kansan sportswriter
In a must-win game for the Kansas softball team, the Jayhawks kept their season alive with a 2-1 victory against Texas Tech in a playin game at the Big 12 Conference tournament yesterday.
The victory advanced Kansas to the eightteam, double elimination tournament where the Jayhawks immediately faced Oklahoma following the Texas Tech game.
The seventh-seeded Jayhwaks (33-23) surprised the second-seeded Sooners (42-13) with a 5-1 upset victory.
"It was a good day for the Jayhawks," coach Tracy Bunge said. "We haven't beaten OU in five years. This is a huge victory for us and emotionally is a big lift. In the second game we relaxed and played for broke."
Kansas started the scoring early, when senior center fieldler Shelly Musser garnered
lead-off walk and stole second. Musser moved to third on a sacrifice bunt by freshman first baseman Lindsey Weinstein, and scored on a passed ball.
Texas Tech tied the game in the top of the fourth on a lead-off homerun by Rebecca Eimen.
The Jayhawks struck again in the bottom of the sixth. Senior shortstop Courtney Wright reached first on an error by the Red Raider pitcher and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by sophomore catcher Dani May. Wright moved to third on an illegal pitch. Musser singled to left field and Wright scored the game-winning run.
"Shelly was huge for us," Bunge said. "She had a two-out clutch double. Serena Settlemier was strong offensively for us as well as having a spectacular game on the mound. A lot of people did a lot of special things for us today."
Oklahoma scored first in the second game on a passed ball in the bottom of the first for the 1-0 lead. But that was all the Sooners

No tourney for tennis team

As the names of schools were announced in a selection show for the NCAA women's tennis tournament last night, the Kansas team waited for its name to be called. Tension mounted in the eighth-floor press box at Memorial Stadium when the announcer named 64 schools without mentioning the Jayhawks in the tournament bracket. Disappointment set in as the team was named the No.2 alternate behind the University of Purdue.
"This is a complete shock. I was on the committee and I felt we had a very good chance because of our No. 1 ranking in our region," coach Kilmency Waterman said. "We deserve to be in the tournament, and this was a big surprise."
The alternate teams are announced in case any of the
64 teams decide not to compete in the tournament.
The No. 31 Jayhawks will continue to practice and wait to see if they get an opportunity to play in the tournament as an alternate.
Sophomore Kristen Steinbock said she was surprised that Kansas was not part of the tournament field.
"It shows that anything can happen," Steinbock said. "Two or three teams with losing records got into the tournament, which made this hard to handle."
"This is disappointing, but I still feel we had a good season," Malliah said.
On a positive note, Waterman was named Big 12 Coach of the Year earlier yesterday in only her second season at Kansas. Waterman has led the Jayhawks to a
Senior Cheryl Malliah still remained positive.

Final tune-up for track team at three schools
By Matt Norton Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas track and field team will be spilt up and sent all over the country this weekend in its final tune-up before the Big 12 Conference championships.
Athletes will travel to Palo Alto, Calif., for the Stanford Invitational; Austin, Texas for the Texas Invitational; or Iowa City, Iowa, for the Hawkeye Twilight Invitational.
Coach Stanley Redwine said that team was splitting up to provide individual event groups the best opportunities to record their best marks.
All-American senior distance runners Charlie Gruber and Katy Eisenmenger will compete in the 1,500, junior Mark Menefee will take part in the 5,000 and sophomore Laura Lavoie will join Eisenmenger in the metric mile at Stanford.
In addition to facing many of the nation's top distance runners, the quartet should also enjoy the cooler, wind-free weather that is perfect for distance runners. Redwine said.
A group of jumpers and sprinters will travel to Austin with the hope of finding warmer weather and hot competitions in those events.
Senior hurdler Jennie Wonder, who has a NCAA provisional time of 13.59 seconds in the 100-meter hurdles, said she had healed from a spill in that race last week at Drake.
She will run both the 100- and 400-meter hurdles this weekend in Austin.

Baseball team looks to get needed wins in home series

The Kansas baseball team, searching hard for momentum going into the final stretch of the season, will face a familiar foe this weekend at Hoglund Ballpark.
By Ryan Wood
Kansan sportswriter
Centenary will come to Lawrence for a three-game set starting tomorrow. The two teams met Feb. 15-17 in Shreveport, La., with the Jayhawks sweeping the three-game series. Coach Bobby Randall claims this series won't be quite the same, though.
"I think both of us have changed significantly since last time," he said. "It was a hard-

Hornets' move to New Orleans approved by the NBA committee
NEW ORLEANS — The Charlotte Hornets' proposed move to New Orleans was unanimously supported by the NBA's Relocation Committee yesterday.
The Associated Press
Owners of the league's 29 teams will decide May 10 whether the team can move, with 15 votes needed for final approval.
The recommendation, announced in New York, came as Hornets officials in New Orleans reached an agreement in principle with state officials on a 10-year contract for the NBA team to play in the New Orleans Arena.
The arena was built next to the Louisiana Superdome in the 1990s in hopes of attracting an NBA team.
The Hornets, losing money and fans in Charlotte, would be the NBA's second team to relocate in two years after the league had gone 16 seasons without a move. The Grizzlies moved from Vancouver to Memphis last year.
Charlotte beat the Orlando Magic 102-85 Tuesday night to reach the second round of the playoffs
The Hornets led the league in attendance a decade ago,but the relationship among the fans,the owners and local politicians soured to such a degree that the team was last in the NBA in attendance this season.
and will play the New Jersey Nets or Indiana Pacers next.
The Hornets were offered a lucrative package by Louisiana.
"The support shown by the fans, civic leaders and the business community in the city of New Orleans and the state of Louisiana has been quite impressive," committee chairman and Phoenix Suns owner Jerry Colangelo said.
"We think the Hornets have laid the necessary groundwork for the successful operation of the team in New Orleans."
The team lost $15 million in Charlotte last season and could lose $20 million this season, Hornets owner Ray Woolridge said.
"We did everything we could do in Charlotte to remain there," he said last month. "The leadership of Charlotte did not do what was necessary for us to be able to stay there."
Coach resigns after resumé error
The Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tom Collen declined the offer to become the women's basketball coach at Vanderbilt yesterday, less than 24 hours after accepting the job, because of questions concerning his education.
"Although I am certainly devastated by what has happened, I walk away from the opportunity at Vanderbilt knowing that the discrepancy on my resumé submitted to Colorado State in 1997 was an honest mistake and not one of deception," Collen said in a statement.
Collen's biography in the Colorado State media guide listed him with two master's degrees from Miami of Ohio.
Vanderbilt had been set to announce Collen as coach on Monday, until they checked his academic credentials and found that he one master's
Collen sent copies of his transcripts and diplomas by fax to Vanderbilt officials, and his resume correctly showed he had one master's degree. He said Colorado State misunderstood his credentials when he filled out a questionnaire for the sports information department.
degree with a dual major.
Vanderbilt Athletics Director Todd Turner said Vanderbilt felt comfortable with Collen once the information was verified, and on Wednesday announced him as the new coach.
Collen sent Turner a letter yesterday turning down the job.
"I have great respect for the character and integrity of Vanderbilt University and would not want my presence to detract from that in any way. Please know how deeply I regret the misunderstanding that has occurred and any embarrassment this may have caused to you," Collen wrote.
Mighty Ducks' coach earns upgrade
The Associated Press
ANAHEIM, Calif.—Bryan Murray stepped down as coach of the Anaheim Mighty Ducks yesterday to become the team's senior vice president and general manager.
He replaces Pierre Gauthier, who was fired as GM on April 19.
The Mighty Ducks will begin a search for a new coach immediately.
In Murray's only season as its coach, Anaheim went 29-42-8-3 to finish 13th in the Western Conference and last in the Pacific Division. They missed the playoffs for the third consecutive season, falling 35 points shy of earning a postseason berth.
ager from 1994-01, and coached the team during the 1997-98 season. After joining the Panthers in August 1994, he put together a team that made the Stanley Cup finals in just its third year in the NHL.
Murray was the Florida Panthers' general man-
He was Detroit's GM from 1990-94, and served as the Red Wings' coach for his first three seasons with the team. Taking over a Detroit team that went 28-34-14 the previous season, he helped the Red Wings go 170-121-37 during his four years as the GM, with the club making the playoffs each of the four seasons
Gauthier was in charge of both the business and hockey sides of the Mighty Ducks.
The team's owner, The Walt Disney Co., recently hired Douglas Moss as a senior vice president responsible for the Mighty Ducks' business operations.

BASEBALL Lou Gehrig's speech to be recited at games
NEW YORK—Lou Gehrig's famous farewell speech, in which he called himself "the luckiest man on the face of the earth," will be repeated by celebrities in 15 major league parks before games on June 1.
The unique promotion was created by major league baseball and Project ALS to call attention to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the disease that took the Hall of Fame baseball player's life and now is commonly known as "Lou Gehrig's disease."
Genrig took himself out of the Yankees lineup 63 years ago yesterday, ending his consecutive games streak at 2,130,and delivered his speech July 4. He died on June 2, 1941.
In ceremonies before games on June 1, James Gandolfini of "The Sopranos" will recite the speech at Yankee Stadium, Luke Perry of "Beverly Hills 90210" fame will do it at Cincinnati, actor Billy Baldwin at Texas, and former "ER" star Julianna Margulies at Baltimore. Other participants will be announced later.
The celebrities signed on to support theater producer Jennifer Estess, who launched Project ALS after she was diagnosed with the disease five years ago.
CYCLING Former Tour de France champ unsuccessful
PARIS — Former champion Marco Pantani and 12-time stage winner Mario Cipollini failed to win wild-card places in the Tour de France yesterday.
Race officials handed out the five remaining spots in the 2002 race to four French teams and one Italian team.
The wild cards in the July 6 to 28 race were given to Italy's Saeco and French squads Bonjour, Credit Agricole, La Franceais des Jeux and AG2R Prevoyance.
Tour organizers had already named 16 squads, including Lance Armstrong's U.S. Postal Service team, based on results for the 2001 season.
Pantani, the 1988 Tour champion, was left out of the Tour for the second straight year. Pantani's Mercatone Uno team is ranked 30th in the UCI's world standings.
Tour director Jean-Marie Leblanc said that Pantani and his team might be given a place in the Tour if the rider performs well at this year's Giro d'Italia, which begins May 11.
"If Marco Pantani reappears at the top level, for example in the Giro, we will look at the situation," Leblanc said.
Leblanc also said Cipollini's Acqua e Sapone team was a top contender for the place that went to AG2R, but was left out because the Italian star "had indicated a preference for the Giro and the Tour of Spain."
Cipollini won the Milan-San Remo race earlier this year and is fourth in the World Cup standings.
The 2002 tour starts in Luxembourg and takes riders through Germany, northern France, the Pyrenees mountains, the southeastern Provence region and the Alps.
The race finishes with the traditional ride down the Champs-Elysees in Paris.

TLC star mourned by loved ones
The Associated Press
Thousands of fans joined family and celebrity friends at the funeral, which seemed more like a concert at times; gospel duo Mary Mary were among those who sang, backed by a 150-member choir.
LITHONIA, Ga. — Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes of the Grammy-winning trio TLC was remembered at her funeral yesterday for her funky raps, her vivacious personality and her sometimes turbulent attitude.
The service for the self-anointed "crazy" member of the female R&B group took place a week after her death in a Honduras car crash.
Lopes, born in Philadelphia, was working on a solo project on Suge Knight's Tha Row records when she died.
Among the mourners were Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, the surviving members of the multiplatinum-selling group, and Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston and

Bobby Brown.
Lopes' white casket was engraved with a rap she recited on TLC's No. 1 smash "Waterfalls." It read, "Dreams are hopeless aspirations, in hopes of coming true, believe in yourself, the rest is up to me and you."
"I know in this situation it's difficult to rejoice at the passing of someone we loved," said the Rev. Eddie Long, pastor of the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in suburban Atlanta. "But it would be a mockery of her life if we did not celebrate life."
Lopes died April 25 when the sport utility vehicle she was driving rolled off a highway in Honduras, her favorite vacation spot. She would have turned 31 this month.
demeanor and Thomas' "sexy" looks.
Best known for her deftly crafted rhymes, Lopes also was the most energetic member of the trio — and the most volatile. At times, she had public spats with the two other women.
But she was at her most infamous when she pleaded guilty to arson in a 1994 fire that destroyed the million-dollar mansion of former Atlanta Falcons receiver Andre Rison, her boyfriend at the time.
Rison was among hundreds who attended a private memorial service Wednesday night in Decatur, another Atlanta suburb.

27-18 record in two years and this season was their best since 1997.
It is truly an honor and a huge accomplishment to be recognized like this by my peers," Waterman said. "It is nice to get this reward because as a team we surpassed our goals for this year, and it did not go unnoticed."
The Jayhawks finished the season with a 16-6 record overall and 9-2 in the Big 12 Conference.

Kansas' next five games are against non-conference foes before they close the season with three games against Oklahoma and three games against Kansas State in mid-May.
"I think it's extremely important to build some momentum at the end," Randall said. "We have some tough games coming up and we need to get it going."
Freshman second baseman Travis Metcalf will be sidelined for the rest of the year with a possible torn anterior cruciate ligament.
Notes
Metcalf suffered the injury Tuesday night in a collision with Illinois-Chicago third baseman Bryan Russo. Metcalf hit .269 in 27 games.
He was one of just two freshman to regularly start for Kansas this season.
"Obviously, I wish I could still be playing more," Metcalf said. "but I hope I helped the
team out somewhat. It was a good introductory season for me."
Russo suffered a concussion and a broken nose on the play. He sat out the remainder of the series.
Randall announced yesterday that a game against Washburn has been added to the schedule.
The two teams will face off at 5 p.m. Tuesday at Hoglund Ballpark.

Also traveling to Austin is Kansas' pair of 17-foot-plus pole vaulters, junior Vadim Gvozdeskiy and senior Jeremy Hull, who will take on the NCAA leader in that event, Brian Hunter of Texas.
Senior decathlete Andy Morris will sharpen his skills at several individual events, leading the group of athletes traveling to Iowa City.
Redwine said that except for a few minor bumps and bruises, the team was healthy and ready for a final push toward the conference and NCAA meets.
With senior thrower Scott Russell the only Jayhawk assured of a spot in the NCAA meet, this weekend will be pivotal for a sizable contingent of Jayhawks hoping to join him.
"it's true the weather has hampered our performances, but we can't worry about that." Redwine said. "We have to go out there and do what we do best."
Returning to action for the Jayhawks this week is sophomore spinner Leo Bookman.
An All-American in the 200-meter dash indoors, Bookman has spent the last month and a half going through spring drills with the football team.
Redwine said Bookman would compete the 100 and 200 in Austin this weekend to begin a crash course of preparation for the Big 12 meet.
Redwine said he wasn't concerned about Bookman missing time on the track this spring.

Mystery horse could take derby
The Associated Press
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Mystery surrounds the foreignbased horses running in the Kentucky Derby. They haven't even raced in the United States this year.
Irish-based Johannesburg and his stablemate, Castle Gandolfo, and Sheik Mohammed's Essence of Dubai are considered as likely to win as any of the 3-year-olds in tomorrow's 20-horse field.
Still, that's no reason to count 'em out.
"We may not know anything about them, but I don't have any doubt they will be fit," said Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas, who'll try to win his fifth Derby with long-shot Proud Citizen.
"You can't throw them out," said John Toffan, owner of 5-1 co-second choice Came Home.
I they know what they're
doing over there," said Ken McPeek, who trains 9-2 favorite Harlan's Holiday. He has Essence of Dubai and 2-year-old champion Johannesburg on his short list of possible winners.
Johannesburg is a co-third choice at 6-1; Essence of Dubai is 15-1; and Castle Gandolfo, making his American debut, is 20-1.
Lukas concludes: "They're the X factor in here—big time."

Bank uses Watkins fund for some legal fees
By Meredith Carr Kansan staff writer
Unless a court intervenes, a lawsuit brought to preserve the Elizabeth Miller Watkins Trust may end up draining it instead.
Residents of the Watkins and Miller Scholarship Halls have sued Bank of America and the University of Kansas over the management of the trust, which
provides for the maintenance and operations of the two scholarship halls.
Bank of America, the trustee, may use money in the trust to pay some of its legal bills if the court approves. In recent legal filings, David Brown, the lawyer for the scholarship halls, has accused the bank of running up its legal bills to drain the trust.
In a brief filed with the court in March, Brown stated that the bank had paid $44,000 to its former law firm using
funds from the trust
Eric Zahnd, attorney with the bank's current law firm of Bryan Cave, said the law allowed this.
"The language of the trust and Kansas law allows some of the trustee's legal fees to be paid from the trust pursuant to the court's approval," Zahnd said.
Brown argues that the bank and the University are stalling in order to waste money in the trust.
The brief filed with the court alleged that the bank and the University had made several frivolous court filings in order to delay a hearing that could lead to a final resolution of the case.
In the brief, Brown describes the possible reasons for the filings. "Yet another accomplishment is to waste trust assets. Indeed, even the bickering over the hearing date for considering motions results in an inexcusable waste of trust assets by the
trustee and the University."
The residents brief asks the court to hold the key hearing as soon as possible and limit it to the issue of whether the bank and the University were misusing the money.
Rose Marino, associate general counsel for the University of Kansas, said the spending of the trust funds was the fault of the residents.

for the Art Tougeau parade Saturday
Steve Jacobs gives a salute from his "Wealth and Hell Being." The '79 Lincoln Continental was named grand champion Saturday.
The seventh annual art-car parade rolled down Massachusetts Street in front of around 500 onlookers lined up on the sidewalks of downtown Lawrence.
"It it was great," said Joanna Dyrka, a Lawrence High School exchange student from Krakow, Poland. "It was good for the kids and there was good weather. It was so special for me. It was so cool."
About 40 different cars, bikes and scooters were featured in the parade. Stacy Hedlund, 2001 KU graduate, painted her Geo Metro two years ago after she was in a car accident. The car was decorated to look like stained glass and also had a turtle and a dragonfly painted on it. This was the first year she drove in the parade.
"It's the only time of the year my car fits in." she said.
Charles Jones, Douglas County commissioner and creator of the parade, said he named the parade "Art Tougeau" because of the way it sounds: it's pronounced "to go" and as a play on art nouveau, an art movement in the early 1900s. Jones said he was impressed with the turnout.
"It went perfectly," he said. "We had wonderful entries. It went great."
Winners included a Black Cat Firecracker car; a car from Omaha, Neb. completely covered in pennies and a "Yellow Submarine."
At the end of the parade, trophies were given out by parade judges Bev Chapman a reporter for KMBZ Channel 9 News; Jan Biles, features and art editor of the Lawrence Journal-World and reporter Allison Mann of Channel 6 News.

dent, drove the submarine. The car was painted yellow, played the Beatles' tune of the same name and squirted bubbles out of the exhaust pipe.
"I built the car three years ago for the art car parade in Houston," he said. "But this is the greatest parade. It was a beautiful day and everyone was smiling and laughing."
Saturday evening the first annual Art Tougeau Film Festival took place at the
Watkins Community Museum of History, 1047 Massachusetts St. An Oscar nominated film, Leo Beurman, about a Lawrence resident was shown as part of the Art Tougeau tradition. Wild Wheels, a documentary about art cars, and its sequel, Driving the Dream, were also shown.

KU Hillel loses leaders, students look to fill gap
By Adam Pracht Kansan staff writer
The Jewish community at the University of Kansas could be facing a leadership crisis as their campus organization is set to lose its three primary officers.
Susan Shafer-Landau, executive director of the KU Hillel Foundation; Lisa Raschke, assistant director; and Andrew Zidel, outreach coordinator, will all leave Kansas for new opportunities.
"My concern is—as with any transition—I don't want there to be some big gap in the momentum." she said.
In addition, Judith Beiner, rabbi at the Lawrence Jewish Community Center, 917 Highland Drive, will move to Atlanta this May. Her husband, Stan, was hired as the headmaster of Solomon Schechter Day School there.
Shafer-Landau said she had some concerns as the search began for new leadership.
Shafer-Landau will leave on June 30 for Madison, Wis., where the University of Wisconsin recently hired her husband, Russell.
"I think it's inevitable," she said. "I find working with the Jewish community both as a member of the community or as a professional to be
Shafer-Landau said that she will continue to work for the interests of Jewish people.
very enriching."
Zidel, 23, is a University of Kansas graduate who worked for Hillel under a fellowship grant from the Jewish Campus Service Corps. Now that his fellowship is over, he plans to study to become a rabbi.
Raschke will head to Raleigh, N.C., on June 23. Her husband, Gregory, has accepted a position at North Carolina State University.
The three years that Shafer-Landau led Hillel brought the renovation of the Hillel House at 940 Mississippi St., organizational adjustments and a larger staff.
He said the change in leadership should be looked at as an opportunity for new ideas and energy for Hillel.
"There are new possibilities," he said. "When you think something's over, other things are beginning."
Sara Rubin, Elgin, Ill., senior said that she appreciated the opportunities to travel to Israel, special Shabbat dinners every month and the opportunity to meet other Jewish students.
"They're just so comforting and so supportive, it's like a family," she said.
She said the three made students feel at home.
Charlie Richman, Dallas junior, said that finding new leadership as skilled as those

Student's computer tower stolen from Oliver Hall
A computer tower was stolen from a KU student's Oliver Hall room between 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Saturday. The Alienware tower was valued at $2,200.
Matt Wilson, Oberlin freshman, said he left his room unlocked at 9:30 a.m. Saturday because his roommate, Frank Gazella, Carbondale, Penn., sophomore, was inside sleeping. Wilson returned from shopping at 12:30 p.m. and noticed the tower of his desktop computer was gone.
"At first I thought it was a prank," he said. "Then I noticed that nobody was around."
Gazella said a fire alarm woke him at about noon Saturday.
"We've never had this problem before," Gazella said. "Nobody locks their door. I didn't pay attention to his desk because the computer is always there."
Gazella said he thought the computer tower was stolen during the fire alarm because residents leave their doors unlocked to be searched.
Networking and Telecommunications Services also reported 12 Ethernet switches stolen Saturday at Oliver Hall. Official reports were not available yesterday from the KU Public Safety Office. It is not known whether the crimes are related.

Band's Irish sound a flogging good time
By Andy Gassaway Jayplay writer
JOHN NOWAK/KANSAN
Lawrence received a head-banging, Guinness-fueled kiss from the Emerald Isle courtesy of Los Angeles' Flogging Molly Friday night at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St. The folk-punk seven-piece band is currently touring with guests The Slackers and Avoid One Thing in support of its sophomore full-length release, Drunken Lullabies.
Since 1997, Flogging Molly has played a brash, aggressive strain of Celtic folk anchored by Dublin native Dave King's vocals and acoustic guitar, Bridget Regan's fiddle and tin whistle, Robert Schmidt's mandolin and professional skateboarder Matt Hensley's accordion. Combined with Dennis Casey's electric guitar, Nathen Maxwell's bass and George Schwindt's drums, Flogging Molly's is a sound that expands upon the folk/punk vision of bands like the Dubliners and the Pogues with a louder,
sean
more abrasive rock-and-roll edge.
Lead singer and acoustic guitarist Dave King is one piece of the Los Angeles septet Flogging Molly. The band, whose music mixes Irish-folk and punk rock, performed Friday night at the Granada.
"They hear us and say, 'You're taking what we did to the next level. You're taking it to now,'" King said.
King said Flogging Molly's sound melded two musical genres with more in common than meets the ear.
"Traditional music, at one point, was all the Irish people had. Their land was taken away, blood was spilt and all they had was their instruments, you know? There's a lot of energy and emotion in that," King said. "That's why it was so easy to marry these two breeds of music together. They're very, very similar. It's all about attitude, expression."
If steady sales of albums like the O Brother! Where Art Thou? soundtrack and even Flogging Molly's debut, Swagger, are any indicator, it seems that the American music-buying public is experiencing a renewed interest in traditional sounds.
"I think people want to hear songwriters again," King said. "Singer-songwriters are definitely an echo of the opinions of the world. It's very important, and a form of healing. We need to get closer together. Music is a way to bring us closer together, you know what I mean?"

Inner-city grade school teacher shares lessons
By Maggie Koerth Kansan staff writer
Ron Clark lives for excitement and adventure. In college, he went skydiving, rock climbing and once ran through the middle of a football game dressed only in his underwear and purple body paint.
But Clark found the most exciting adventure of his life in a grade-school classroom.
urday afternoon in Budig Hall.
Clark is a young Harlem, N.Y., elementary school teacher who won the Disney Outstanding Teacher of the Year award in 2000. He spoke to about 60 students and faculty from The University of Kansas' School of Education Sat-
Student Senate, the School o Education and Coca-Cola sponsored the speech.
Clark said his life at Harlem's P.S. 83 wasn't easy. He taught both fifth and sixth graders, a total of 37 students.
"The first day I got spit on, desks got turned over. It was a total wreck," he said.
But Clark knew the school's history of high teacher turnover and refused to quit.
Eventually, he said he was able to raise the test scores of the troubled kids in his class so much that they surpassed the school's "gifted" class.
Clark said he credited his success to an unconventional teaching style that matched what the kids were learning in the classroom with fun projects and field trips.
Kelly Lawson, Shawnee senior, said she came to see Clark speak because she had just finished a stint as a student teacher at a low-income school in the Kansas City area.
"He's inspiring. I want to hear his story," she said. "Anything he has to share would be valuable to
"We'd take them places like George Washington's house, and they could practically lead the tour guides around, they knew so much about it," he said.
me."
A book and ABC television movie based on Clark's life are due out late this year, but Clark said he wasn't overwhelmed by the attention. He said he was focused on his goal of starting a small, private school for at-risk inner-city children.

"I am still me, I just happen to be on TV and stuff," he said. "If they called me tomorrow and said they weren't doing the book and movie, it wouldn't change me or my goals."

Hey Leita Walker, let me respond to this. I know about it's about a man who didn't want to his story told, but whose story might change the way we view people like him. Yeah, you might also might make him cannon fodder for more dumb journalism majors, and you might also get his ass kicked by a bunch of frat boys who think he's funny now.

I suspect that the reason that the Kansan doesn't cover NASCAR is because NASCAR is not a sport. It's driving.

I can safely say that my suit will be a yellow, one piece trunk with a farmer's tan so defined that it looks like I'm still wearing a shirt.
Over the years, I have acquired a great deal of knowledge about the pool experience, both public and private. Today, you too will learn the intricacies of this American pastime: getting wet in a big public tub.
COMMENTARY
My research began somewhere around age 6. I was young, naive and due for a nap when all of a sudden my parents had me standing at the edge of the shallow end of the public pool. My shorts were neon green and had mesh underwear conveniently sewn into them. The glaring sun caused my eyes to shrivel. My overexcited swim instructor became a blur, standing waist deep in water that was as tall as me.
"Come on! Jump in and swim to me!" she said.
Uncheated forward and sat down on the lip of
Justin Henning opinion@kansan.com
I ended up jumping , and if it taught me anything, it was that pool water was kept jut above freezing point.
"Bunch of lemmings," I would have thought to myself if had known what a lemming was.
In colossal underwater strides, the instructor came over and stood in front of me, as all the wet kids bobbed about her like those little plastic balls you put on your fishing line.
"Justin." she said. "Don't you want to learn how to swim?"
"No," I said. Who could argue with that logic?
"No." I said. I didn't buy the story.
Then she told me some story about how this would be really important if I was ever in a sinking boat or were stuck on an island.
"Well," she said as she spun her whistle. "Look at the big kids in the deep end. They are having a great time!"
She was referring to another swimming class in the deep end of the pool. Their instructor threw stuff that sank to the bottom of the pool and then made the big kids get it. They had been doing that for more than half an hour.
I was sold. If big kids did it, then I should too.
So my point today is this: Learn to swim if you don't already know how. It's a great way to cool off in the summer and will come in really handy if someone ever throws something in the water and tells you to get it.
That and remember to write your opinion columns with enough time to make them good. Otherwise, you could end up with this.

QUESTIONING THE KANSAN'S ETHICS
Ded editor
Dear editor,
There is a long, ugly history of institutionally powerful voices doing great harm to people with disabilities, while claiming to be doing those people favors. Adam Pracht's article on Robert Gilmore ("Hiding in plain sight," May 1) is part of that history.
In his commentary on the methods he used, Pracht portrays himself as a "frustrated" reporter in search of the truth about Gilmore, who is depicted as a spinner of "fantastic stories," and also as a liar: "He (Gilmore) never told me anything true." Perhaps Pracht is suggesting that Gilmore owed him something because he bought the man hot cocoa and a doughnut. Perhaps readers may have wanted to judge for themselves whether Gilmore's statements were untrustworthy. All people have their own versions of reality, and their unique ways of expressing them; Gilmore is entitled to his. But Pracht chose to silence him and then stigmatize him, adding to the stigmatization he already suffers.
Pracht's investigative instincts took him to sources like a delivery person a Checkers and a convenience store owner, but never to community advocates for people with disabilities. He contacted school administrators in Missouri to probe Gilmore's past, but never consulted scholars right here at KU who have devoted their careers to empowering people with disabilities. Had he visited these scholars, Pracht
LETTERSTO THE EDITOR
would have learned that people with disabilities have the right to tell their own stories and to resist the well-meaning outsider who would speak on their behalf.
As egregious as Pracht's actions and inactions were, he is not fully to blame for this ill-conceived and deeply harmful article. In Leita Walker's piece on the ethical dilemma the story raised, she mentions a journalism professor who implies Gilmore brought the attention on himself by "placing himself in the public eye," and must live with the consequences. Interestingly, this professor escapes public scrutiny—he is quoted anonymously. He is not called upon to explain how being without a home and job makes one a public figure. Compare this to the situation the Kansan created for Gilmore. Not only do readers learn his name, but they also learn about his eating and hygiene habits, the items he keeps in his "shed," his education, his poor eyesight, and his "criminal record."
The lessons are clear: those with institutional prestige, like the professor, have the power to make statements and not answer for them. Those without power, like Gilmore, have no right to dignity or privacy, and no chance to prevent themselves from being defined by members of the "normal" majority.
Ray Pence American studies instructor
Dear editor.
One of the primary duties of a journalist is to weigh the public's "right to know" against the impact stories have on individuals. Unfortunately, the staff of the Kansan failed to uphold their responsibilities by publishing the Robert Gilmore feature ("Hiding in plain sight," May 1)
Leita Walker writes in her editorial: "we cannot slip into the practice of catering to our sources — every story we write forces...us to ask uncomfortable questions." However Walker is disregarding the source's unique situation. The article has been treated as some sort of exposé of a public figure, but is only an intrusion into the life of an individual who has a right to privacy, just as anyone else. Informing students about Mr. Gilmore's status could have been accomplished by publishing an item inside of the paper.
The piece does not, as Walker writes, "change the way we view people like him," but simply reaffirms what little value society places on the desires of the mentally ill and the homeless.
Ultimately, the Kansan's staff has made their decision about Mr. Gilmore not in his interests, but in their own. Any attempts to explain their choice as otherwise is disingenuous and further illustrates their callousness toward Mr. Gilmore.

Wiccans celebrate Beltane
By Maggie Koerth Kansan staff writer
In a wide field near Clinton Lake on Saturday night, 20 people held hands, circled a roaring bonfire and chanted songs to the god and goddess and the spirits they believe in.
The chanters were members of Wiccan Pagan Alliance. They were gathered to celebrate Beltane, a holiday that celebrates therebirth of Spring.
Beltane occurred May 1, but alliance members decided to have the celebration on a weekend to share in the ritual.
Beltane is a holiday with both ancient and modern roots. It has many meanings and many ways to celebrate.
Susan Haimes, an Olathe freshman at Johnson County Community College in Overland
Park, said Saturday was her first Beltaine, but that she knew a little about the stories behind it.
"It's a fertility holiday, for a lot of different religions it means the bringing back to life of the earth," she said.
Haimes said Wiccanism and different sects of Paganism celebrated Beltane in different ways and for different reasons. She said the members of the WPA had many different sects and traditions that they followed.
Haines said some Wiccans believed in Native American traditions and some were animists — a belief that inanimate objects and natural phenomena have spirits.
Andrew Israel, St. Louis, Mo., sophomore, said he too was new to Wiccan Pagan traditions.
"But it has heavy breeding overtones" he said.
Israel said that in ancient
JOHN NOWAK/KANSAN
Participants burn carnations as gifts to the god and the goddess in celebration of Beltane. The holiday was derived from an ancient Gaelic-Celtic celebration to commemorate Spring.
Pagan ceremonies, Beltane celebrations often ended with ritual sex. But he said that practice had been pretty much abandoned in modern times and wasn't used by the WPA.
Sam Lane, Leavenworth junior, said he normally celebrated the holiday alone with a small ritual paying homage to the world and all the living creatures.
Brandon Cox, Lenexa junior, led the ceremony at Clinton Lake. He focused the ritual around the invocation of the spirits of air, wind, fire, water, north, south, east and west. He also called on the god and the goddess to bless and protect the group.
He said those spirits were called at nearly every ceremony to protect and bring energy to the circle. Other members of the WPA then shared their own chants, prayers and thoughts concerning spring and rebirth.
Before the circle broke up, he once again addressed the spirits — this time to let them know the ceremony had ended.
Cox said he liked to keep the ceremony informal when he ran it, in order to keep people relaxed and comfortable. Because of this, WPA members spoke out regularly during the ceremony and each student took turns writing his or her hopes for the coming year on slips of paper.
He said he hoped once people had heard about Beltane it would dispel myths about the holiday such as animal sacrifices, ritual sex and Wiccan Pagan traditions in general.
After the ceremony, WPA members danced around another Beltane symbol — the maypole.
Cox said the WPA's Beltane celebration was fairly typical of most ceremonies he'd been to.
"Never have there been offered sacrifices," he said. "Beltane is just a joyous ceremony that celebrates the beginning of everything new and nice and warm."

COMMENTARY

Upsets,efforts characterize Kansas sports
Clutch performances, upset specials and extraordinary efforts. They make sports come alive. They inspire the birth of heroes, give hope to fans who thirst for a winning program and create legends. Kansas sports have had plenty of such moments this year. I decided to list my favorite moments from the last year in Jayhawk sports.
Kansas baseball dominates Wichita State: For one night, the Jayhawks, not the then No. 8-ranked Shockers, played like a perennial powerhouse. Kansas rolled to a 9-1 victory behind an outstanding pitching effort from freshman Chris Jones. Jones, who Shocker coach Gene Stephenson called a "slow-pitch softball pitcher," held Wichita State hitless until the sixth inning.
Jayhawk soccer defeats Missouri: For Jayhawks, any victory against the Tigers is satisfying, but this one was especially sweet. Kansas coach Mark Francis' squad defeated the Tigers for the first time in his regime on senior day and clinched the 'Hawks' highest Big 12 Conference finish ever. Although Mizzou defeated the Jayhawks the following week in a conference tournament rematch, Kansas still qualified for the NCAA Tournament. Even with a defeat to Brigham Young in the first round, the Jayhawks still finished the season with their best record ever, 13-7, and are a program on the rise.
Kansas basketball clinches a share of the Big 12 title: When you run the table in your conference and reach the Final Four, there are plenty of moments to choose from. But this one takes the prize. The Jayhawks dominated Iowa State 102-66 on Big Monday. But seeing Kansas fans' thirst for a championship finally being quenched was something special to watch. As the fans showered the Jayhawks with cheers and chants of "We're Number One," no one dared to leave Allen Fieldhouse and miss the start of the celebration.
Russell wins a national championship: Scott Russell could be the best Canadian import Kansas has ever had. It's too bad most Jayhawks fans don't know who he is. The senior won a national championship in the hammer throw during the indoor track season. That came after he established a new national record for the event during the season. Russell could capture more than one national title this year. He's chasing a title in the javelin during the current outdoor season.
Fans flock to campus: The day was overcast, drizzly and chilly, but that didn't stop Kansas fans from racing to campus after the Jayhawks reached the Final Four for the first time in nine years with a 104-86 victory over Oregon. Fans congregated on Wescoe Beach and drove around campus honking horns at anyone who happened to be around. It kicked off a week of excitement that created a buzz around the University I've never seen before.
Jayhawk women nearly pull off upset: One of the reasons many people enjoy sports is that anything can happen. Despite going winless in Big 12 games, the Kansas women's basketball team came ready to play against Texas. The Jayhawks led 34-30 at halftime but trailed by three with less than a minute left in the game. Sharonne Spencer made a layup, drew a foul and had the opportunity to tie the game. She missed the free throw, but I admired the effort of Kansas, not the result.

Collison, Hinrich to return
By Brent Wasko
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas men's basketball players Kirk Hinrich and Nick Collison took the road less traveled Friday.
Unlike many of their peers in college basketball, including teammate Drew Gooden, the juniors decided to return to Kansas for their senior seasons.
Men's basketball coach Roy Williams said that after having several conversations with the NBA evaluation committee, he learned that both Collison and Hinrich would have probably been first round choices if they would have declared themselves eligible for the draft.
"I gave all the information to them; I gave them some advice; we got some counsel from their families, and both decided that the option they wanted to take was to come back and play at Kansas," Williams said. "We're very happy, to say the least, that they are coming back, but at the same time, we would have been very happy for them if they would have made the decision to go."
Depending on who walks on to the team during the off season, Collison and Hinrich could be the only seniors next season. Gooden, the team's leading scorer and rebound this season, decided to forgo his remaining year of college eligibility and enter the NBA Draft.
If Collison and Hinrich had left, the Jayhawks would have had an inexperienced starting lineup.
"Needless to say, this helps our basketball team and the prospects for next year," Williams said. "But I think that everyone would have understood if they had gone. It would have been a good decision for them to make."
Collison and Hinrick were a big part of the Jayhawks' success this season, helping the team reach the Final Four for the first time since 1993.
Collison, a 6-foot-9 forward from Iowa Falls, Iowa, was Kansas' second leading scorer and
reboucher, averaging 15.6 points and 8.3 boards per game. He led the Big 12 with 2.2 blocks per game.
He was named an Honorable Mention All-American and Second-Team All-Big 12 player. Collison was especially strong during the postseason, claiming spots on the Big 12 All-Tournament Team and the NCAA Midwest Regional All-Tournament Team.
Collison said he was satisfied with his decision to stay at Kansas for another season.
"I looked at all my options and then made the decision that I definitely want to stay," he said. "When I do go the NBA, I want to be as good a player as possible, and I think I can get a lot better with another year under coach Williams."
Collison said there were other reasons for him to stick around.
"I can come back and have a lot of fun next year at KU, which made my decision a little easier. This is a great place to be, and it would be hard to give up another year in Lawrence," Collison said.
Hinrich, a6-3 guard from Sioux City, Iowa, was also a key player for the lahayws this season. He averaged a career-high 14.8 points per game, making 54.1 percent of his shots from the field and 47.8 percent from behind the arch.
Like Collison, Hinrich was named an Honorable Mention All-American. He was also selected as a First-Team All-Big 12 player and was a two-time Big 12 Player of the Week.
Hinrich said losing to Maryland in the national semifinals made him hungry to come back and win a championship.
"I decided that I wanted an opportunity to finish the season on a better note than we did this year, and to better myself as a player under coach Williams' guidance," Hinrich said.

Shortstop Brandon Shepard sets up the front end of a double play to second baseman Casey Spanish during the second game of Kansas' doubleheader against Centenary on Saturday. The Jayhawks dominated both games, winning 12-2 and 15-3.
Jayhawks dominate weekend series
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
Ryan Baty will surely be sad to see Centenary go.
The sophomore outfielder capped a productive weekend yesterday, going 2-for-4 with a double and a triple, as the Kansas baseball team beat Centenary 5-2 to sweep the weekend series.
Kansas (21-24) won both games Saturday, 12-2 and 13-5, and won all six games against Centenary this season. This year, Baty was 12-for-26 with two
homers, 14 RBI,and five runs scored against the Gents.
"I struggled a little bit in Chicago, and I struggled the last game in Nebraska," Baty said. "I made a few adjustments with my swing, and I'm swinging at good pitches now."
The Jayhawks were up 4-0 before Centenary (15-41) could muster a run. Kansas played nearly flawless defense, turning two late-inning double plays and never giving the Gents any opportunities to rally.

Tournament run finishes for Kansas softball team
By Ali Brox
Kansan sportswriter
The magic ran out for the Kansas softball team at the Big 12 Conference tournament. After upsetting second-seeded Oklahoma Friday, the Jayhawks fell 7-5 to third-seeded Nebraska and were eliminated 10-0 in five
"I am pleased with our performance except for one inning in the previous three games," coach Tracy Bunge said. "I thought we played extremely well and repre-
innings when they played Oklahoma again Saturday.
Serena Settlemier
sented the University of Kansas very well. We played to the best of our ability."
Kansas (33-25) appeared to be in control early against Nebraska, scoring three runs in the top of the first inning.
With one out, freshman first baseman Lindsey Weinstein singled to left and moved to second when senior left fielder
Christi Musser drew a walk. Senior right fielder Leah Tabb singled to center, advancing both runners. With two outs and the bases loaded, freshman pitcher Serena Settiemier doubled to left centerfield, clearing the bases for a 3-0 Jawhawk lead.
The Jayhawks added two runs in the third. After a lead-off walk to senior third baseman Megan Urquhart, senior second baseman Amy Hulse doubled to center with one out. Urquhart moved to third, but scored on a throwing error by the Husker catcher. Hulse was able to score an unearned run as well for the 5-2 lead.
Nebraska answered in the bottom of the first. A lead-off walk, two consecutive hits and a sacrifice bunt brought Nebraska to within one run, 3-2.
Nebraska responded in the third with a two-out double to left center, and an RBI single up the middle to pull within one run, 4-3.
The 'Huskers put the game out of reach when they exploded for four runs in the bottom of the fourth inning and earned the 7-5 final score.

Track team shatters records set for championships
By Matt Norton Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas track and field team logged almost 6,000 miles this weekend in search of the nation's best competition.
Team members traveled to Palo Alto, Calif., Austin, Texas, and Iowa City, Iowa, for the teams' final meets before the Big 12 Conference championships May 17-19.
Seven athletes posted NCAA championship qualifying marks and three school records were broken.
"I think the decision to go to Stanford and the decision to go to Austin paid off," coach Stanley Redwine said.
All four runners who made the trip to Stanford took advantage of perfect weather and top-flight competition to put a serious dent in the school record books.
Seniors Katy Eisenmenger and Charlie Gruber both earned automatic qualifying times in the 1,500-meter run for the NCAA meet.
Eisenmenger cut more than eight
seconds off her personal best and bettered the Kansas record by more than five seconds, finishing third in the race with a time of 4 minutes, 17.19 seconds. Eisenmenger was the
top finishing collegian in the race and stands fourth in the NCAA with her time.
Sophomore Laura Lavoie finished 13th in the same race, r u n i n g 4:23.63. That
Katy Eisenmenger
time is an NCAA provisional mark and places her fourth on the all-time Kansas list.
Gruber won with a new personalbest time of 3:41.08, beating, among others, 2000 Olympic trials champion Gabe Jennings of Stanford. Gruber moves into second place on the NCAA men's list for the event.

Injured player poses risk for Chiefs'offensive line
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Willie Roaf is a big gamble in more ways than one.
The Associated Press
Standing 6-5 and weighing 315 pounds, the seven-time Pro Bowl offensive lineman is big at anything he does. But for the Kansas City Chiefs, he and his tender knee also represent a giant risk.
Despite Roaf's major knee surgery at the age of 32, the Chiefs are counting on him coming all the way back and anchoring left tackle for an offensive line that already is dangerously thin.
"It's a gamble, but you always take risks," said Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil. "If you don't take any chances, you don't develop a football team from the bottom up."
After Roaf was traded from New Orleans in March for a fourth-round draft choice, the Chiefs moved 1999 No. 1 draft choice John Tait from left tackle to right. So he'll be learning a new position. In addition, Marcus Spears, a sometimes-starter and valued backup, signed a free agent contract last week with Baltimore.
"When Marcus Spears went to the Ravens, it really hurt," Vermeil said, adding that Roaf is a "long-range project."
If Roaf's damaged knee keeps him from returning to his old form, offensive line could be a problem.
"I'm not concerned about him playing. I know he's going to be a good player one day." Vermei said. "I just don't know how fast we can get him there. Right now I think we can do it."
While the Chiefs go through a three-day
minicamp this weekend, Roaf is watching from the sideline while rehabbing the knee. The plan is for him to be ready to go once a day during training camp two-a-days and then be up to full strength by the season opener.
"I'm ahead of schedule,but the doctors want me to take it easy." Roaf said.
The nine-year veteran is not worried about falling behind by not taking part in drills.
"I'm able to absorb a lot because I've played in a lot of different systems so I know a lot of the plays," he said. "It's just a matter of learning the new terminology. Being a veteran, I know a lot of what's going on."
Making their Willie Roaf gamble even riskier, it would seem, are his 32 years. For nine seasons, he has absorbed punishment on the playing fields of the NFL. Might that slow his healing process?
"There's no question there's a little risk involved," Vermeil said. "But he's a dedicated guy and it's been done before and why can't a seven-time All-Pro do it?"
In his pre-camp meeting with players on Thursday night, Vermeil showed a brief Willie Roaf highlight film.
"I showed the squad about six snaps against the Giants this year and he had about six dominating snaps, including a pancake block on an All-Pro linebacker," Vermeil said.
"We have to add that dimension of intensity within our offensive line play in terms of finishing everything. A tackle sometimes has more opportunities to show that than a guard does because of the nature of the position. He's been there and he's done it. It comes natural to him."
Texas takes Big 12 softball title
The Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY — Cat Osterman struck out 13 batters and Texas made an unearned run stand up as the Longhorns beat Nebraska 1-0 yesterday and won the Big 12 softball tournament title.
The Longhorns (48-11), who also won the regular-season title, had beaten Oklahoma 2-0 earlier in the day as Osterman threw a three-hitter.
Nebraska (45-12) hurt itself with three errors, including two in the fourth inning that resulted in the only run. The Cornhuskers threatened a few times against Osterman, but didn't convert.
Osterman (34-7) was named the tournament's MVP. She previously had been named freshman of the year and pitcher of the year in the Big 12.
Osterman had worked out of a jam in the top of the inning. She gave up a leadoff single to Amber Burgess, and one out later Leigh Suhr doubled and put runners at second and third. But Cindy Roethemeyer lined to first baseman Alexis Garcia, who threw to second to double off Suhr, ending the inning.
Walker (25-5). Mahoney moved to second on an outfield error, to third on a single by Sarah Wiesczak and scored on another outfield error.
Erin Mahoney got Texas going in the fourth inning with a one-out single off Leigh Ann
The Cornhuskers got a runner to second with one out in the fifth, but Osterman got out of the jam. She struck out the side in the sixth and picked up two more strikeouts in the seventh, including the final out of the game with a runner at first.
In the first game, Lindsay Gardner homered and Osterman pitched a complete game as the Longhorns eliminated the defending champion Sooners (45-14).

FOOTBALL Chiefs wide receiver injured in practice drill
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marien "Snoop" Minis broke a bone in his foot Friday during a non-contact drill at the team's mini-camp.
Minnis, who is expected to be out of action for about eight weeks, sustained the injury when he appeared to have caught his foot on the practice grass surface during a passing drill.
Chiefs president and general manager Carl Peterson said Minnis would undergo surgery today, but that team doctors thought he would recover in time for the opening of training camp on July 26.

The athletes who traveled to Texas were also rewarded for the trip.
Senior Jennie Wonder improved her school-record and NCAA-provisional time in the 100-meter hurdles, finishing fifth with a time of 13.48. She is in a tie for 14th on the national list.

mark of 42-6, and is tied for ninth on the national list. She finished third in the event Saturday and also recorded a personal best of 13.89 in the 100-meter hurdles.
One of the downfalls of sending the team to different meets was not having all of the coaches' expertise on hand. Hann battled swirling winds that affected her approach and take-off, Redwine said.
Milan Donley, who coaches the triple jumpers, was with the team members who went to Iowa.
"Coach Donley could have helped a lot
more in the triple jump than I could have," Redwine said. "So we're going to continue to look for big things. She's a great competitor."
At Stanford, junior Mark Meneefe slashed nearly 30 seconds off his personal best in the 5,000 meters, running 13:52.80. The time is second only to Jim Ryun on the all-time Kansas list. It places him 19th in the country and on the bubble for the NCAA championships.
Meneefe will run the 5,000 meters again at the Big 12 meet against four men who beat him at Stanford.
He said he anticipated a fast race that would carry him to an automatic NCAA mark.
It would also be a thrill to take a school record from the legendary Ryun, Menefee said.
"Some of our distance records have been around wav too long." Meneefer joked.
Sophomore Leo Bookman made a strong showing at Texas, his first meet since the NCAA indoor championships in March. Bookman finished second in the 100 meters with a time of 10.51, and finished eighth in the 200 with a time of 21.15.
Junior Benaud Shirley led the way for the Jayhawks competing at Iowa. He won the triple jump with a leap of 50-2 1/2.
Redwine said it was important timing to achieve so many quality performances this weekend.
"Now that they did have good races, it will carry in to the conference," he said of the upcoming Big 12 championships.

Changes to the first varsity eightboat lineup didn't help the Kansas rowing team at the Big 12 Invitational on Saturday.
By Brent Wasko
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas coach Rob Catloth attempted to add some speed to the first varsity eight-boat by changing the boat's coxswain and three rowers.
New rowing lineup, same results
"It's difficult to tell if the changes made any difference," Catloth said of the team's top boat, which finished third with a time of 6:58.0. "We finished with about the same time as we have all season."
The Jayhawks' first varsity eightboat finished 16.4 seconds behind the regatta champion, Texas.
Overall, Kansas tied Kansas State in second place at the five-temple regatta, which also featured Texas, Tulsa and Texas Crew. Texas won the regatta by 11 points in Austin, Texas.
"I'm pretty happy across the board," Catloth said. "We now have two weeks to prepare for the NCAA Central Regionals. We need to continue to work hard and focus on getting back to the top of the Big 12."
Kansas' first varsity eight-boat still has not won a race all season, and the Central Regionals might end up being the lavihawks' last race.
"I think this race was a stepping stone for us. I think we jelled together a little bit," sophomore first varsity eight-boat rower Beth Hickey said. "Everybody is still pretty optimistic
about this season."
There were some positives for the Iavhawks at the Big 12 Invitational.
Kansas took second in the second varsity eight, second varsity four and novice eight-boat races.
The first varsity four-boat, which consisted of sophomore coxswain Sara Kilbride and rowers Carrie Owens, senior; Amber Snyder, sophomore; Luci Lyon, freshman; and Laura Adamson, sophomore; won its race with a time of 7:40.3.
The Jayhawks will take a week off from competition before traveling to Oak Ridge, Tenn., for the NCAA Central Regionals.

“This was a game where you fought and fought offensively,” Nebraska coach Rhonda Revelle said. “There are all kinds of wins in softball and many times you don't see a score like this, but the fact is that we came out and hit the ball tonight. I was really proud of our staying power and the attitude of our kids in the dugout.”
the Oklahoma Sooners just need five innings to down the Jayhawks 10-0.
Oklahoma took a 1-0 lead on four hits in the bottom of the first. The Sooners added three more runs in the third on three hits, including a two-run homer by Heather Scaglione.

The Sooners put the game out of reach with six runs on six hits and none left on base in the bottom of the fourth. Oklahoma hit two triples and two run-homers in the inning for the 10-0 final score. Because of the
eight-run after five mercy rule in softball, the teams only played five innings.
"I give a lot of credit to Oklahoma," Bunge said. "They really came to play. They made some good adjustments and took advantage of us today. We were a little flat and not very energetic."
The loss ended the Jayhawks' run for the Big 12 Conference tournament title.

'Jeopardy!' sets higher stakes
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The capacity crowd at Radio City Music Hall had a new hero.
It wasn't a rock star or a particularly limber Rockette. Instead, it was a man standing on stage under hot lights, answering trivia questions so arcane they would give most people a headache.
At a pivotal point in the first-ever feopardy! $1 million tournament, the contest makes a bold gamble that instantly impresses the audience with his courage.
The vagueness here is intentional. The person's name, the risk and outcome won't be revealed to preserve the surprise. The two-week Jeopardy tournament that began last Wednesday will conclude with the two-day finals on May 13-14.
During the taping in Manhattan earlier this spring, contestants waded through categories tougher than the typical game: "Four Syllable Words," "Near East Ancient History, "Circus and Carnival Cinema" and "Architects."
The finale is terrific — a tight, taut contest that, like the tournament itself, calls attention to a game that's been successful for so long that it's taken for granted.
The competition was filmed in New York, away from its usual California studio, to help mark the 4.000th episode filmed since Jeopardy! was revived as a television game show in 1984.
That doesn't count the years 1964 to 1975, and briefly in 1978- 79, when Jeopardy! was on the air with Art Fleming as host. The game was invented by Merv Griffin, who also composed the theme music it uses to this day.
Jeopardy' is consistently second only to Wheel of Fortune as the most popular television game show. In many markets, the two games air back-to-back in the valuable TV real estate between the evening news and prime time.
The third-rated game show, Hollywood Squares, has less than half the audience of Jeopardy!, said Marc Berman, a television analyst for Media Week Online.
"Jeopardy!" is as healthy as a ratings horse." Berman said.
"There's no stopping it."
But like most programs in an age of increased competition, the show's audience has shrunk in size, including a 4 percent drop between last year and this season. That — and the desire to draw a younger audience — is behind several tweaks made to leopardy!
It has added a "clue crew," a team of four well-scrubbed young people who travel across the country filming video clues. It has doubled the available prize money, which executive producer Harry Friedman said had made for more rapid swings in the games.
Host Alex Trebek even shaved his mustache, which he said made him look younger.
"We've energized the show to a large extent." Friedman said. "It just seems like part of a natural evolution. It's changing the show without changing the game."
That's pivotal. They don't want to tinker with the basics. *Jeopardy!* will always give the answers and make contestants phrase their responses in the form of a question.

JILLIAN THORPE/KANSAN
During the second game of Kansas' doubleheader against Centenary, Kansas pitcher Chris Smart throws to first baseman Kevin Wheeler for the third out of the eighth inning. The sophomore pitcher pitched the last two innings of the Jayhawks' 15-3 victory over the Gents.
Freshman Tom Gorzelanny (2-6) won his second straight outing. He pitched the complete game, allowing just one earned run and striking out seven. Originally a relief pitcher, Gorzelanny moved into the role as a spot starter midway through the season and has been solid in his last two starts.
"I came here wanting to be a starter," Gorzelanny said, "but I took the relief role, made the best of it, and now I'm getting more starts and liking it."
The Jayhawks managed just four hits yesterday, but with the help of eight walks, it would be all they needed.
"That's what won this game, was timely hitting," Baty said. "It was good baseball."
Hitting was sparse yet effective yesterday, but an abundance of hitting was key Saturday. In the first game of the doubleheader, Kansas collected 13 hits and scored all 12 of its runs in the first three innings. The second, third and fourth hitters for the Jayhawks combined to go 8-for-11 with seven runs scored and nine RBI. Baty drove in five runs, three of them on his sixth homer of the year in the third inning.
Senior Jake Wright pitched the complete game, allowing just two runs on seven hits for his third victory of the season.
"We didn't make any errors, we got some hits and hit when men were on base," coach Bobby Randall said. "We threw the ball through the strike zone and did what we needed to do."
The second game on Saturday proved much the same. Kansas pounded out 14 hits, including four extra-base hits. Sophomore outfielder Matt Tribble led the offense, going 3-for-5 with two doubles, a triple and three RBI.
Since returning from injury, Tribble is hitting .474 (9-for-19) with nine RBI in five games.
"I'm just glad to be back playing," Tribble said. "We're all excited about finishing the season strong and I don't want to spend any more time on the bench."
Despite scoring 30 runs in the three-game series, defense has been key. Kansas committed just one error and turned five double plays in the three victories.
"When you make one error on the weekend, that's clean, crisp baseball," Randall said. "Our defense kept us in it."
Kansas, winners of five of its last seven, returns to action Wednesday with a 5 p.m. game against Rockhurst at Hoglund
Ballpark. It returns to Big 12 Conference play Friday against Oklahoma.
"I think we're all pretty excited about making a strong finish." Tribble said. "We're all looking forward to playing our best and playing hard every day."

Supersized Students
As food portions increase, so does the average weight of University of Kansas students
By Summer Lewis Kansan staff writer
Supersize it, please!
In a world where everything is getting bigger, it may come as no surprise that University of Kansas students appear to be coming in bigger sizes. Health statistics show that obesity among college-age students has increased during the past 40 years. With one out of two KU students overweight, it has nearly become abnormal to be a normal size.
become conform to be a nice teacher. Throughout the years, an average KU student's weight has increased and auditorium seat sizes have expanded. Food portions served at the Kansas Union cafeteria have grown and soda portions on campus have increased, raising students daily calorie intake and causing them to pack on more pounds. At the Gap in Lawrence, a size six today used to be a size 10, and today's 10 used to be a plus size. Everywhere at KU, students are moving to supersize, perhaps even without noticing.
The average weight of KU students has increased dramatically since 1960.
Dennis Jacobsen, associate professor of health, sports and exercise science, said that, though there had not been any studies done at KU that would give average weights of students, national statistics show substantial increases.
"We use the statistics that the Center for Disease
Control and Prevention has found over the years," Jacobson said. "The numbers represent KU students well."
Those numbers show that since 1960, the average weight of men has increased 20 pounds, and the average woman has put on 24 pounds.
For a 5-foot-9 man,18 to 24 years of age,the average weight increased from about 160 to 180 pounds. For a 5-foot-4 woman,the average weight increased from about 128 to 152 pounds.
Bigger clothing sizes worn by KU students offers more proof that waistlines are expanding.
Clothing chains on Massachusetts Street, such as the Gap and Eddie Bauer, no longer follow the USDA approved measurements for clothing sizes. Though store officials refuse to say why, what used to be a size six is now between a size 10 or 12, which means that the current size 10 used to be a plus size.
Along with clothing, seat sizes have grown throughout the years in Lawrence.
Gaylord Richardson, associate professor of architecture administration and academic, said that the trend of wider seats could be a result of people getting bigger.
Central Junior High was the high school in
Lawrence during the 1960s. The seats in the auditorium are 16 inches wide—6inches narrower than most seats today.
Mark Reiske, associate director of design and construction management, said that seat sizes have gradually gotten bigger through the years.
"The seats were 16 inches wide in the old Hoch Auditorium before it burned down. You can't even buy that size anymore." Reiske said of the building that is now Budig Hall. "The seats are now around 20 or 22 inches wide. The trend is to buy larger seats."
Supersized students seem to be experiencing bigger health problems, too.
"There are more students at KU with elevated cholesterol than we used to see five or 10 years ago," said Ann Chapman, nutritionist as Watkins Memorial Health Center. "I know this is, in part, diet related because the more you weigh and the higher fat diet you have, then the higher your cholesterol will tend to be."
"If you have elevated cholesterol in your 20s, ther you are automatically at greater risk for a heart attack
She said that obesity would have an even larger effect on KU students in the long run.
even in your 20s," Chapman said. "It puts you at an increased risk now and it puts you at an even greater risk when you are in your 40s if you continue on in that same lifestyle of eating unhealthy food."

campus.
Treat America, the only vending machine supplier for the Lawrence campus, keeps its machines filled with candy bars and chips. Elyse Fleck, purchasing department employee, said that the company only offered unhealthy items at the
University because those were what the students bought.
"We don't make the decision of what to buy." Fleck said. "Our products are decided by the consumer. We have healthier choices, but those aren't the ones that people want."
She said that it was more profitable for the company to offer only unhealthy items to students.
"It's a small supply and demand model for us," Fleck said. "If you put it in and it's gone, next time you put in twice as much for more of a profit."
But Chapman said Treat America could do more to help students eat healthier.
"Some college studies have found that if the vendor lowered the prices on the healthy items and raised the prices on the junk food, students started taking the healthier choices," she said. "It is a shame that healthier items aren't available so that the students had the option."
Chapman said that it shows that money is more important than teaching healthy eating.
"There is no question that that is the message the University is giving when it makes those choices," Chapman said.
She said educating students about how to eat healthy was as important as teaching math, science and English. 'I think the food that is offered has
I think the food we eat in University provides a subtle education," Chapman said. "As an educational institution, we should be providing food choices for students that further our heart health and our health in general."
But when it comes to eating, size matters too
Beyer said that students had a lack of realistic reference about the size of a true proportion of food, as evidenced by the sizes of soda bottles sold on campus.
"The portion sizes have gone bonkies," said Peter Beyer, associate professor of dietics and nutrition at the University of Kansas Medical Center. "I have a Coke bottle from the 1940s that is six ounces. Today, 12- to 22-ounce bottles are considered a serving of soda."
Secret society's sealed file revealed
TOMMY SMITH
SEE SUPERSIZE ON PAGE 6A
File offers insight to legacy of defunct student organization
KIMBERLY THOMPSON/KANSAN
pachacamac, a secret society at the University of Kansas that began in 1912 and is rumored to still be around today, used to use these items as tools for their club. Pictured from left are the Ritual of the Society of Pachacamac Master Copy, the Pachacamac seal stamper, a bronze bowl with a Pachacamac engraving, and a few candle holders.
By Sarah Hill Kansan staff writer
In the early days of student government at the University of Kansas, one coalition, named Pachacamac, dominated other coalitions.
But after the group went underground in the 1950s, its actions and influence on Student Senate elections and University politics have remained shrouded in secrecy. Rumors of a present-day Pachacamac organization still circulate throughout Senate.
"People talk about it, people say they're part of it, but it doesn't exist in its original form," said Justin Mills, former student body president. "It's so difficult to pin down who is in it, or what they do."
The University Daily Kansan obtained access to the University Archives' sealed Pacachamac file last week. The Kansan wrote a letter to University Archives citing Kansas open-records law, which granted the Kansan access to the file.
Documents within the file said the political party, formed in 1912, promised campus reform and ran future University leaders such as Chancellors Laurence Chalmers and Raymond Nichols. Both Chalmers and Nichols were chancellors in the 1970s.
In a 1931 issue of The Pachacamac News, the official publication of the society, the party's slogans
were "Action—Not Conversation" and "Pachacamac —The Party of Progress."
These men and women, which according to The Pachacamac News were largely independent of the greek system, consistently won student government elections until the late 1930s and early 1940s. A rift in the legitimate party resulted in the birth of the new Pachacamac Society, a Greek offshoot of the former progressive party. The new party consisted only of men.
In 1954, the society went underground. The group's official documents contain mission statements, such as, "The fulfillment of our solemn duty is activity toward the common good of all Greeks." "There is no evidence of how many members were in the society.
Documents from the society said the original Pachacamac was an Aztec figure. They also describe customs of the ancient Aztecs, a preColumbian indigenous civilization based in what is now Mexico City.
"Legend has it that this group controlled IFC elections and picked the student body presidents," said David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs. Ambler has been an adviser to senate for 25 years.
Until about 15 years ago, the inner workings of Pachacamac were still kent secret.
The documents said members took an oath to never reveal their identities as members of the Society, but ties have been found linking it to the Interfraternity Council.
About 15 years ago, two greek men, Craig Hughes and Scott Rutherford, whom Ambler described
as "courageous," infiltrated the group and exposed its actions. The group shut down as a result.
"Scott acquired the paraphernalia that the group used in their secret rituals and put it in a file in the University Archives, and had the file sealed," Ambler said. "He had it sealed to make sure the group was not revived. It was clearly not in the interest of the greek community."
Rutherford's file contained folders of pamphlets and newspaper clippings about political races from the group's first phase, as well as the items used in Pacachac initiation ceremonies.
The group's official seal is in the archives, depicting an Aztec monument and rising sun. An urn inscribed with "Pachacamac," candle holders and the master copy of the group's ritual book, bound in wood, still remain in the file.
Potential candidates received a letter that described the society as "dedicated to the progress of the University and its Greek system ... Its members, who represent the elite core of the fraternity system, operate in secrecy to better Greek life at K.U."

Professor emeritus who 'pushed the envelope' dies
Shelly, professor emeritus of psychology, collapsed Friday while mowing his lawn. When emergency personnel arrived at about 3:30 p.m. they declared that Shelly was unresponsive and not breathing, and shortly after that he was pronounced dead, said Sgt. Mike Pattrick of the Lawrence Police Department. He was 73.
By Rachel Keesee Kansan staff writer
Felix Moos, professor of anthropology and Shelly's friend, said Shelly pushed the envelope while at the University.
"He certainly was a most innovative thinker, who always had new ideas, looking at change, the world and the behavior of human beings." Moos said. "He was an individual who went far beyond his field, which was social psychology. He was one of the most unusual persons in Fraser hall, in the sense that he had very strong views, which he defended to the best of his ability."
Shelly joined the psychology department at the University in 1965. He retired in December 1991 and became a professorementus Jan. 17, 1992, according to University Archiv-
The University of Kansas lost an original thinker and a dedicated educator with the death of Maynard Shelly.
Moos said Shelly thought of new ways to teach social psychology.
"He was one of the first people to use computers in the classroom." Moos said. "He was very science oriented. He tried to apply natural science and mathematics to his insights in social psychology."
Moos and Shelly worked together on a research project in Micronesia for four years in the late 1960s and early 1970s. They also began a course in the 1980s on aggression, violence and terrorism of the modern world, Moos said.
"He was a great asset," Moos said. "I will miss him greatly."

CAMERA ON KU
Seniors Brian Dingman, of Leavenworth, left, and Josh Talley, of Topeka, work on the custom differential they built for their made-from-scratch formula race car. The two are part of team whose members sometimes work as much as 70 hours per week on the vehicle, with which they will eventually race against 130 other university teams in the Society of Automotive Engineers competition.

Teacher recognized for'tough love'approach
TOPEKA —A former Piper High School biology teacher who resigned rather than change the grades of students she had failed for plagiarism was honored yesterday by the Kansas House of Representatives.
Christine Pelton received a standing ovation after accepting a certificate of recognition from Republican Reps. John Faber of Atwood, Andrew Howell of Fort Scott and John Toplikar of Olathe.
Pelton resigned in December after the Piper Board of Education in Wyandotte County reversed her decision to flunk 28 students on a biology project. She said she suspected plagiarism after discovering nearly identical material in the students' papers.
The resignation cost Pelton her certificate to teach in Kansas because she hadn't completed her first two years in the classroom. She subsequently opened a home day care center.
In brief remarks to the House, Pelton said she has not abandoned her dream of being a teacher.
"I knew what I did that day would have an impact on my future," she said. "Students not only need the building blocks of learning but morals and values."
Howell thanked Pelton for showing her students "tough love."
Topikar added, "Her defense of honesty in the classroom sets an example for all Kansas students."

Mrs. E's worker cheers up students
HOMER PARK
By Adam Pracht
Kansan staff writer
Jim Carroll has been working at Mrs. E's dining hall on Daisy Hill for five years. He said that he gets along well with the students and enjoys getting to know them.
KIMBFRIY THOMPSON/KANSAN
It's not every day that the person who just made your hamburger asks you to dance.
Amy Lindsey, Wichita sophomore, said Jim Carroll, a five-year employee at Mrs. E's Cafeteria in Lewis Hall, asked her to do just that.
"It wasn't something that you would expect someone who serves your meal to do," Lindsey said.
Lindsey said the request was typical of Carroll's caring and positive outlook on life. She said she has found him to be an upbeat person who has tried to improve students' daily lives throughout the year that she has known him.
Carroll said he wanted students to feel like they were eating at home when they were in the cafeteria.
"Where people eat is where the heart is, and you have a big family to feed," he said.
Tormod Ellingsen, Tromdheim, Norway senior, said Carroll went out of his way to help students. He said Carroll would bring food out to the table for him or other members of his intramural soccer team if they were recovering from an injury. Ellingsen also said Carroll would frequently come to see them play their soccer games.
"I think he's kind of like a father figure for some," Ellingsen said. "He's very friendly to other people."
David Titterington, Prairie Village freshman, said Carroll was the only cook at Mrs. E's that he knew by name. Titterington said Carrell tried to connect with every student and make them feel at home.
"It has become acceptable to just silently walk by people, but he tries to break that," Titterington said.
Carroll said he tried to wel come students and make them
feel comfortable as they ate.
"I hope people come into my cat eterna and feel at peace with themselves," he said. "That they can joke with me and give me a hard time as I give them a hard time."
Carroll has even dressed in drag before to try to make the students smile, but he said that he was not a homosexual. He said that he once lived a homosexual lifestyle, but didn't anymore because he found that all of his relationships were based on the physical aspect.
Carroll said that he now tried to live free of labels.
"I'm Jim. I'm not gay or straight or bi or whatever people want me to be," he said. "I am just Jim, and I'm a person who wants to reach out and love people."
John Hoyt, a friend of Carroll for more than 20 years, said he was amazed by Carroll's ability to live without worrying about what others thought.
"What would it be like if you didn't have to live up to anyone's
expectations and you just became free of those?" he said. "That's very rare."
While Carroll usually works to cheer students, he said he was also there for students during hard times. He said he listened to students and sometimes offered to light a candle for them at night to let them know that he was thinking and praying for them.
"I'm there for the students 24 hours a day, and I want to be their dad or their brother or someone they can lean on," he said.
Carroll said he lit about 30 candles every night and found that it was a way to remember those in need. He said he lit one for a student who said his mother had died.
Hoyt said Carroll had often lit candles for him in times when he was struggling to raise a family and when Hoyt spent time in the hospital recovering from a serious accident.
"He's probably gone through
an entire candle factory for me," Hovt said.
Carroll said he wanted to help others even before he came to the University of Kansas. He was a server in a hospital and a nursing home and tried to be a "guardian angel"to the people there by visiting patients and residents.
While he doesn't talk about it often, Carroll said he found strength in his faith as a Christian. While he calls himself a "Jesus Freak," he said he didn't want to push his beliefs on others but just to show care for them.
Carroll said that he was just trying to fill a void that he saw in people's lives.
"People need people now," he said. "If people would just look around and see how lucky they really have it, it would be a better place to live."

OPINION
EDITORIAL
TUESDAY,MAY7,2002
New move-out policy should be adopted
Whether they are graduating or just eager for the summer, students have been counting down their remaining days on campus. And while classes officially end this Thursday, student still have a stressful week of finals to look forward to. On top of all that, students living on campus have to worry about moving out of student housing.
Unfortunately for some students, moving out can increase the stress of finals because of the schedule set down by student housing. Students are required to move out of their residence or scholarship hall by 11 p.m. on Friday, May 17.
For those students that have finals late in the day on Friday, this can be a hassle. Worrying about getting out of their tests in enough time to get all of their belongings out of their rooms could prove to be a distraction during their exams.
Several members of the Vision coalition ran with a platform that called for the establishment of a 24-hour move-out period for student with finals on the last day of finals week
Randy Timm, assistant director of housing, said that while a 24-hour move-out period was not official policy, the Department of Student Housing was willing to work with students who didn't feel they had enough time to move out of their halls.
Students need to talk with their resident assistants and complex directors to see what solutions exist for them. Complex directors will help students with problem solving before any decisions are made. In fact, several international students often take advantage of this system.
However, students often read the policies and think that they are set in stone. "Students see things as black and white." Timm said. He said students should talk with their complex directors if there is a problem with moving out by the assigned time.
But students should keep in mind that an extension is only a last resort. Resident assistants and other housing staff will not be around to ensure the safety of residents past the final move-out time.
The Vision coalition asked for the establishment of a permanent 24-hour move-out period. However, the current system of working with students to see what best fits their needs may be the next best thing.

This is the jolly man, and I the guy that originally called in about with the Abercrombie and Fitch quote. I would just like to know what do frat guys think about that, because I know one, and he's not necessarily offended by it, but I know that some are, so let me know.

You left out the greatest grilled cheese in Lawrence — the one at Paradise Cafe. Homemade sourdough bread. It's killer, and you left it out. That's wrong.
This is to the writer of the Referendum B letter. The referendum was never instated. The rules and regs were never changed, so how can you say you support Loren for trying to reinstate it? If that's not enough for you, Loren just sent out a letter to all the senators apologizing for trying to do something that was not in her power to do. Before you go around criticizing columnists for not doing their research maybe you should do yours.
I just realized the last name of the KU football coach looks like it says man-gina. Now that's funny.
I just want to wish a happy birthday to my home girl Massa.
Her birthday is May 3. Love you, baby.
This in response with the girl who is irritated with the conformity of the sorority girls. I just wanted to say that some friends of mine are trying to get a group of people together for a coed fraternity/sorority that doesn't discriminate against race, gender or sexual orientation and won't stifle your creativity and individuality. Look for Pi Pi Pi symbols around town.
I regret every day that I decided at KU. And the reason why there is not a lot of diversity in the Midwest is because people don't want diversity in the Midwest, not because it can't be done. I should have gone to a Christian college.
To the Jayplay writers who forget to go to Bucky's, they have undoubtedly the unquestionable reigning champion of all grilled cheese sandwiches in Lawrence. Next time get your facts right.

PERSPECTIVE
As college life winds down, reality sets in: most people aren't as tolerant as they think
Amazingly enough, in the past few months, I've managed to grow even more cynical about humanity.
This is a rather simple story about a friend of mine. I haven't known him long, but he's become an important part of my life. We have a surprising amount in common, we learn from each other's differences and we generally have a good time.
That is, until we feel the disapproving stares, and see people we don't even know whispering to each other when we pass. But what's frustrated me most of all is the reactions, both overt and covert, of my friends and acquaintances.
At first, I though it was just a "race issue." You see, my friend has pretty dark skin. He immigrated to the United States when he was a teenager, and when he speaks English, he speaks with a noticeable accent.
COMMENTARY
But the more time we spend together, the more I realize that it's not so much that he's not a white, native-born American. Rather, I think it's the tattoos scattered on his arms and back, his shaved head, baggy jeans and earring that freak people out.
"He looks like a thug." "Oh, I didn't know that was your type." "All I'm saying is be careful." The comments he heard ranged from flat-out insensitive to politely disguised discrimination.
Jennifer
My friend is not a criminal. He's made some dumb mistakes in the past, but nothing much worse than some stuff I did in my younger days.
But somehow people can forgive my past mistakes because I'm a blond college student. Apparently, if you work hard in construction,
Kursten Phelps kphelps@kansan.com
I've never been naive. I spent the majority of my childhood being looked after in an interracial household while my parents worked hard to make ends meet. I've never been sheltered from discrimination, racism, sexism or homophobia in my life. I'll even admit that, being human and all, I've had to take a good look from time to time at my attitudes about people who are different from me and work to overcome stereotypes I carry in my head.
But somehow, I thought, that in such a lovely "liberal" town like Lawrence and that on a campus crawling with so many brilliant minds, people wouldn't be so quick to judge the motives behind our friendship.
I guess reality is slapping me awake two weeks before graduation. I can only imagine what runs through people's minds when they see us:
"She must be one of those rich, preppy druggies like the girl in Traffic, and he must be her supplier." Actually, neither of us are druggies.
although we've both seen firsthand how drugs can ruin lives and relationships. It's something that bonds us in a common experience. And if you look at my pocketbook or my parents' house, it's quite evident that I'm far from rich (that's why I still live in a scholarship hall and pay extremely cheap rent).
"He must be illegal and mooching off her." For the love of God, I really am a poor college student! My mom works at a newspaper (I know firsthand how little that pays), and my dad works in a factory. I pay my own way in life, and my friend's got just as much money as me. And he's here perfectly legally, lives in a cute house with his family, whom I've grown to love, as well.
There's a million other thoughts I can read in people's faces. It makes me mad, but even more sad, that it bothers both complete strangers and people I know that my friend and I walk down the street together, occasionally grab hands and, oh no, perhaps even hug. It's hard to swallow that society still can't accept love and friendships that cross political borders and color lines.
But I've decided it won't help anything to give in to societal stupidity. I will continue to go out in public with my friend. Maybe if enough people join us, some day my other "tolerant" but concerned friends will realize they don't have to protect me from someone with dark skin and a shaved head.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
KU NOT MINORITY-FRIENDLY
Denier editor
I was struck by the conjunction of three stories you printed three days last month. On April 17, you reported that minority students feel uncomfortable at KU ("Students make suggestions for minority recruitment") and on April 29, you printed a column criticizing efforts to diversify the KU campus ("Campus diversity requires student input").
On April 18, ("Stories of a KU Olympian") you reported that the Lakota distance runner Billy Mills, one of KU's greatest Olympic heroes, felt "like he never belonged at KU." Finally in the same issue you report that Paul Pierce and now Drew Gooden will be the only Jawahk basketball players to leave KU early ("Gooden in position of his predecessors"). One factor in Drew's decision might have been the numerous insulting comments made about him by alleged Jawahk fans after the loss to Maryland in the NCAA semifinals. Does anyone but me see a pattern here?
KU is not a friendly place for minorities, and this includes faculty as well as students. Despite all of the talk from the administration and all the committees headed by administrators who wring their hands over "the problem," this has not changed, apparently since the 1960s.
The administration is unwilling to do the things that could really change this pattern of racism, including specific recruitment of more minority faculty to replace the many who have left because of the atmosphere at KU.
Instead, KU's response is to treat with hostility any minority person who dares to speak up or disturb the peace of the white majority on campus, be they All-American basketball players or concerned faculty who speak out against discrimination. Similar points were made in the guest editorial you published on April 29. Until this is solved the problems with diversity will at KU never be solved.
Raymond Poriotti associate professor of biological sciences
vvUMEN STILL HAVE A LOT TO FIGHT FOR
Dear editor.
In response to the April 30 editorial ("Feminists shouldn't fight against 'Playboy'") I would like to know what fight, exactly, feminists have won that allows us to pose nude in a magazine. If you looked in your history books — never mind, women aren't in there. But if women were adequately represented in the history books, and if you looked at those history books, you would recognize the fact that women have never had to fight for the opportunity to have their bodies objectified — either as virgins or sex objects.
And actually, both vestal virgins and prostitutes were compensated quite nicely in the olden days. At least since biblical times men have paid for the privilege of controlling women's bodies — sometimes indirectly (by providing gifts, clothing, shelter) and sometimes directly.
I do agree, however, that protests against Playboy will not serve to deter the publication. Hugh Heffner does not care about the dignity and autonomy of women. (And, by the way, while the female models get paid well, they do not own mansions swarming with young, lithe men.) If women will pose and people will buy, then the publication will continue.
And so the more important work seems to be what goes on at KU, and other places, every day: professors putting women in the history (and sociology and literature and business and psychology) books; classes discussing the effects of patriarchal attitudes in our society; women refusing to be treated as objects and men refusing to treat them that way.
So while the "Women of the Big 12" Playboy issue will hit the shelves, we will not all be bushing to buy it. Some of us will be busy with the work of real life and real relationships. We will keep fighting the fights that need fighting the best way we know how.

Bill Remmers, who worked with Shelly and Moos in Micronesia, said Shelly was a creative man who contemplated the future.
"About 30 years ago, he had a course on what the world might be like in the year 2000." Remmers said. "His purpose in doing this was trying to make the future better. He was interested in people being happier and more successful."
Beverly Smith, a former student, said Shelly greatly impacted her life.
"He was interested in people being happier and more successful."

"I thought the world of him," she said. "He was extraordinarily bright, and it was always fascinating being around him and to listen to him."
Smith studied in Micronesia with Shelly. She said she became acquainted with his gentleness, sense of humor and desire to educate students.
"I think he wanted us all to succeed in our academic work, and he often prodded us to achieve more," Smith said. "He was one of a kind."

The identities of the members were so secret that in the 1960 edition of the jayhawker yearbook the members of the organization were pictured wearing black and white hoods that concealed their faces.
Legends continue to circulate about locked rooms in the depths of Dyche Hall, used for storage and rituals. Ambler said the group could have had such rooms when it was a legitimate organization, but that anything related to the group's underground years would have been kept off-campus.
PACHACAMAC

"I first heard about the group from Dean Alderson," Ambler said. "He, as dean of men, had been trying to get rid of the organization. There is no way he would have allowed the group space on campus."
The group threatened Dean Donald K. Alderson, dean of men at the University in the 1960s and 1970s, when he tried to disband the group. Dean Alderson received a

letter in 1974 that said, "Lay off us Alderson or you'll be sorry." The letter was signed "Pach."
While speculation about the group remains, Ambler said there was no proof that any such organization still existed.
"I don't have any reason to believe it is around," he said. "There were several times in the first several years after it broke up where this or that IFC person was reviving Pachacamac. When I talked to them about it, they went out of their way to prove that they were not."
SOCIETY OF
PACHACAMAC
Ambler cautions people to not
believe the rumors of the organization still causing trouble.
However, Ambler said the secret nature of the society caused many to believe the society was far more influential than it may have been.
"It may be that Pachacamac had a lot of influence in IFC, but it would be hard to verify," he said. "Because it was secret, what happened was conjured up in their minds. Who knows what really happened?"

Coca-Cola machines on campus now only offer 12ounce cans in a few locations, while the 20-ounce bottles are everywhere.
"A can is one serving," Beyer said. "Students don't realize that, when they start drinking a 20-ounce bottle, they are getting two and a half servings. A couple of bottles add up quickly and there is no nutritional value. All a person gets is sugar."
He said that fast food restaurants, such as the ones in the Kansas Union, sell unhealthy-sized portions, too.

Guess what? End of classes means last list of predictions
The countdown is underway. Three more days of classes, and if you're a senior like me, only a dozen days left until graduation! Congratulations to the Class of 2002 and best wishes to all of you returning for future semesters on the Hill.
Because this is my last column of the semester — and last ever — I'd hate to break tradition and not end with a list of predictions, as I have in previous semesters.
Of the 20 predictions I've given in the final columns of semesters past, I'm batting about .600. That number should tell you I'm nothing more than a lucky guesser. So, don't take this summer's list of picks to Vegas any time soon.
This list is merely a fun projection of what could happen in coming months, so let's get right to it. It's time to break out the crystal ball, dial my psychic friends and unleash this summer's top 10 predictions:
1. John Mizerock's miserable stint as manager of the Kansas City Royals will come to an end later this month. Look for the Royals to hire current AAA Omaha manager Bucky Dent as their new skipper.
2. The Los Angeles Lakers dynasty as NBA champs will pause this June. The Lake show will win several more titles before Shaq and Kobe call it quits, just not this year.
3. The Detroit Red Wings will cap off a fantastic season with their 10th Stanley Cup Title. Detroit fans should milk the win for all it's worth because as soon as the Red Wings and Pistons are done, it will be six more months of atrocious Tiger and Lion games.
4. This July, Seattle Mariners' center fielder Mike Cameron will enjoy his second consecutive all-star appearance. While Cameron shines with baseball's best in Milwaukee, Cincinnati Reds' center fielder Ken Griffey Jr. (the player Cameron was traded for) will get to watch the game at home on television.
5. Former Jayhawk Drew Gooden will be a lottery pick in this June's NBA draft. I know I'm hardly climbing a tree with that statement, let alone going out on a limb, but here's where it gets interesting: Gooden will slide out of the top three and land at number five, where he'll be an awesome value much like the last Jayhawk who left school early and then slid on draft day. Paul Pierce.
6. Another early entry from the Big 12 will also slide on draft day. Kansas City native and former Missouri Tiger, Kareem Rush wants to be a lottery pick and likely will be. But if that's the case, I think he'll barely slip into the top 13 picks. Wherever he lands, Kareem will eventually hear his name called — something his brother Jaron never got to experience.
7. PGA golfer Phil Mickelson will finally get that big gorilla off his back and win a major before summer is over. Mickelson will gladly shed the distinction of "Golf's best player never to win a major" when he pockets his first major title after 10 years on tour.
8. Chiefs' tight end Tony Gonzalez will sign an extension with Kansas City, putting off his inevitable departure for at least one more year.
9. San Francisco Giants' slugger and Home Run King, Barry Bonds, will barely hit 50 homers this season. Texas' Alex Rodriguez and Chicago's Sammy Sosa will both out slug Bonds by season's end.
10. And finally, I predict that finals will be over before you know it, summer will fly by twice as fast and fall will bring a whole new season of sports at Kansas with plenty of great outcomes to predict.

Rower upbeat despite frustrating season
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas rowing co-captain Dana Parsons' senior season hasn't exactly gone the way she had planned it.
The Spivey native has seen her share of success with the Jayhawk rowing team during her four-year career, but she admitted that this season had put more of a strain on her emotionally.
"It's been the most frustrating, definitely," Parsons said. "The boats haven't been completely set with the same people in them every race. In
some ways, all of the changes have been a disadvantage for us. It has been tough to find unity in the boats, which is a big part of this sport."
Parsons is one of many rowers who have switched boats this spring. She raced with the first varsity eight-boat, the team's top boat, at the end of last season and the first four races this season.
But just last week, Kansas coach Rob Catloth decided to move Parsons, two other rowers and a coxswain from the first varsity eight-boat to the second varsity eight-boat. Catloth said he hoped the changes would provide the struggling team with a little spark heading into the Big 12 Invitational in Austin, Texas.
The changes didn't do much good, and the team tied with Kansas State for second place at the regatta.
PETER BARRISON
Dana Parsons
The first varsity eight-boat, which has not won a race all season, took third. There were three teams at the invitational.
Parsons said that being demoted to
the second varsity eight-boat with just two races left in her rowing career certainly hurt, but that she had been able to take it in stride.
"You have that initial feeling that you want to work your way back up. You also feel a little disappointed," she said. "I'm just going to do my best and hope to finish strong."
Catloth said moving Parsons had more do with finding the right combination of rowers in one boat than it did with her rowing ability.

The KU men's volleyball and women's lacrosse club teams took part in the first Annual Kansas Kids' Fitness Day at Bentwood Elementary in Olathe, Friday.
Throughout the afternoon, students from second to fifth grade rotated every 15 minutes between 10 stations. Each station featured a different sport, including tennis, golf, soccer, basketball, lacrosse and volleyball.
Sports clubs from The University of Kansas, Johnson County Community College. St. Andrews Golf Club and Challenger Sports supervised the stations.
The men's volleyball club taught elementary school students the fundamentals of volleyball technique as part of the first annual Kansas Kids Fitness Dav. Club members pictured are. from left. James Howard, Adam Ferrari, Justin Rhorer and Bill Bourne.
"I thought it was a fun time,"said Bill Brown, St. Louis sophomore and men's volleyball club vice president.

"Everything went over well and smoothly," he said.
Adam Ferrari, Wilmette Ill., sophomore and club president, said they concentrated on teaching spiking and overhand serving.
"They don't play volleyball in gym class for early age groups, so we just focused on the skills and taught them how to play," he said.
A member of the woman's lacrosse team, Tasha Trelsa, Denver freshman, said the women's lacrosse team stuck to the basics as well, including catching and throwing.
"The younger kids were confused and shy, but as we got to the fourth and fifth graders, they really got into it and asked a lot of questions," she said.
Trelsa said the positive reception made the day a success.
Brown agreed that the students were eager to participate and enjoyed learning the dynamics of sports.
"It was encouraging to see the younger kids taking an interest in lacrosse since it's an unfamiliar sport in Kansas," she said.
"Some of the guys would hit the ball as hard as they could and it would go flying out in the parking lot," he said. "They
were full of energy."
Brown added that the athletes benefitted from the day almost as much as the kids.

NCAA Regional slim possibility for Jayhawks
By Ali Brox
Kansan sportswriter
In all likelihood, the Kansas softball team has played its last game of the season. The Jayhawks are keeping their fingers crossed that they'll be chosen for an NCAA Regional this Sunday, but chances that seven teams from the Big 12 Conference will be chosen are slim.
"I talked to a couple members on the committee and right now, we don't have much of a shot," coach Tracy Bunge said. "We're seventh in the conference. It'll be a long-shot if we get in."
Senior centerfielder Shelly Musser said it was hard to admit the team had almost no chance of being selected for a regional.
"It's upsetting because a lot of us think we deserve to be there," Musser said. "If we do make it, we'll play really well because it'll be like a second chance. It's going to be a long
week just having to wait to see what happens."
More upbeat last weekend, Kansas made some noise in the Big 12 Conference tournament. After winning a play-in game against Texas Tech, the Jayhawks stunned second-seed Oklahoma with a 3-1 victory.
"I really was pleased with the effort," Bunge said. "We had high hopes to go further, but the Oklahoma game was a great memory for the group of eight seniors. We played as well as we've played all season and that's what we needed to beat a team of that caliber."
Musser said there were comments in the dugout about the difference between the team's performance this weekend and the way the team had been playing during the season.
"We were so energized and into the games," Musser said. "We were there to win. We were a team that we didn't really see that often."
The Jayhawks carried the emotional high from the Oklahoma game into a contest with the three-seed Nebraska Cornhuskers, but fell short in a 7-5 loss. The game was an offensive tug of war.
"The Nebraska loss was devastating," Bunge said. "Offensively, we were as good as we've been all year. The game did us in emotionally and physically."
Bunge said the team spent a lot of energy against the Cornhuskers, and it was a tough turn around to return to the field the next morning to face the Sooners again.
"Oklahoma was really motivated," Bunge said about the 10-0 loss. "We just didn't have a lot left in the tank."
Musser was important to the Jayhawks' effort all weekend and was rewarded with a selection to the Big 12 All-Tournament team.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (May 7).
Start out your year by finishing an old project. Don't think about what you won or lost; think about what you learned. You'll soon find all sorts of ways to use those skills. More deadlines mean more money, but also more stress. Do what you can. This won't last forever.
P
G
2
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 5. The worst should be just about over by now. You're more in control by tomorrow. Don't dash out and do crazy things. It's too soon to take risks.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is an 8. Ocean breezes beckon, but it isn't time to travel just yet. You still have a few more knots to help untangle before you can leave a needy friend.
Two people
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 5. The situation requires quick thinking, and luckily you're good at that. But don't be impetuous. Consider the outcome before you react. Think fast, but also think twice.
C
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7. Things are starting to get better. Soon you'll have a chance to rest. But you'll also have to report on your progress. Tidy up and write down a few notes.List successes first.
LION
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 5.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be.
Deals put together now are apt to incur complications. If you want to do it anyway, read the fine print.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 6. Recent developments have disrupted the status quo. Others may be confused, but you don't have to be. Keep your eyes on the prize.
SPORTS
LA JUSTICE
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22). Today is a 5.
The confusion is abating. Your path soon will be clear, literally and figuratively.
Meanwhile, just take it one step at a time.
Scorpion
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is an 8. You're running into all sorts of complications and potential setbacks. But you're lucky now, and that's how you'll prevail — luck, love and faith.
弓
S
Sagittarius (Nov.22-Dec.21).Today is a 4. Yesterday's mess still needs cleaning up. Let an expert take over. If you don't know something,don't be embarrassed to admit it.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.19). Today is a 7. The storm is over, but everything has changed. New routines must be established. Ask for input from co-workers before making a decision. They'll know what to do.
Wash hands
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18). Today is a 5. Stay out of the way if a disagreement develops between a family member and a friend. You'll be more objective, and therefore more useful—if either will listen.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 7. The support of a stubborn friend—and your own good luck—see you through the tough times. Be as solid as a block of ice in order to get your opinion across.
Agassi wins first round
ROME — Andre Agassi routed Nicolas Kiefer 6-3, 6-2 yesterday in the opening round of the Rome Tennis Masters Series tournament.
The seven-time Grand Slam champion, making his European clay-court season debut, broke the German's serve in the opening game of the match, and that was all Agassi needed to win the first set. In the second set, the 32-year-old American clinched the match with two consecutive breaks.
The Associated Press
"I feel pretty good and quite confident for my first match here," said Agassi, who has never won this event. He said Kiefer helped him with some unforced errors.
American teen-ager Andy Roddick followed Agassi onto center court and defeated Spanish clay-courter Alex Calatrava 6-2, 6-3.
The German produced 29 unforced errors, while Agassi made only 18 mistakes.
The former U.S. Open champion controlled the match, whipping groundstrokes from inside the baseline that rendered his opponent powerless. The sixth-seeded Safin, who has never advanced past the second round in Rome, improved his career record against the Spaniard to 4-0.
Roddick broke Calatrava twice in the first set and finished the second set with another break for a 5-3 lead, then served out the match at love.
Earlier, Marat Safin overpowered Alberto Martin 6-2, 6-2.
record against the other matches, 10th-seeded Sebastian Grosjean routed Hicham Arazi 6-4, 6-0, 14th-seeded Jiri Novak defeated Sjeng Schalken 6-4, 6-4, and wild card Stefano Galvani upset Greg Rusedski in three sets.
Gumemela Camara. Thirteen-time Grand Slam champion Pete Sampras was to play another Spanish clay-court specialist, Felix Mantilla, today.
The tournament features nearly all the top players in the world, including Gustavo Kuerten, a finalist the past three years in Italy, who will be making his first appearance in a Masters Series event since August in Cincinnati. Kuerten, who returned from hip surgery last week, won here in 1999 and lost in the final the last two years.
The first seed to lose was the 15th-seeded Guillemero Canas, who fell 6-4, 6-4 to Markus Hipfel.
Recruit eager to join Red Wings
The two-time defending French Open champion was to take on local favorite Davide Sanguinetti today.
The Associated Press
But Detroit, which is up 2-0 in its second-round Stanley Cup Playoff series with the St. Louis Blues, may be getting another outstanding young skater next season.
DETROIT — With eight to 10 future Hall of Famers and a few talented young players, it doesn't appear the Detroit Red Wings will be in need of good hockey players for a while.
WINGED RIDER
Center-left wing Henrik Zetterberg, the Red Wings' seventh-round pick (210th overall) in the 1999 NHL Draft, said he wanted to play in Detroit in 2002-03. Zetterberg. 21, plays
"If they want me or have room, I will go." Zetterberg said from the World Championships in Sweden, where he was playing for Team Sweden. "We will have to sit down and have a discussion after the World Championship to see what they say. I hope I am going to play there next year."
Letterberg, J.P., played for Timra of the Swedish Elite League.
Zetterberg was impressive playing with and against the best players in the NHL during the Olympics in February. He was one of only a few non-NHL players who played for Sweden's Olympicteam.
Holland said that if Zetterberg was signed, he would bypass the minor leagues and come straight to Detroit, just as Pavel Datsyuk had done last season. Datsyuk had an outstanding rookie season, and Holland expects Zetterberg to have the same kind of impact.
"I have talked to his agent two or three times," Red Wing general manager Ken Holland said. "Certainly, the feeling I get is that Henrik would like to do everything possible to get (a contract) done for us to turn him pro."

Zetterberg said he looked forward to skating with Red Wings stars such as Steve Yzerman, Brett Hull, Brendan Shanahan, Sergei Fedorov and Chris Chelios. He already has skated with Red Wings' Nicklas Lidstrom and Tomas Holmstrom, who were on the Swedish Olympic team.
"The first practice and first game, if I play over there, I will be a little bit nervous, but these are good players, and I will see and learn many new things." Zetterberg said. "Looking forward to being a Red Wing. Hope I'll be there next year."
Another of Zetterberg's Olympic teammates was Toronto Maple Leafs center Mats Sundin, who said Zetterberg reminded him of a young Peter Forsberg.
Forsberg, a center for the Colorado Avalanche, is considered by many to be one of the best all-around players in the NHL. He leads the NHL in playoff scoring.
Spur's Duncan wins top NBA honor
The Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio Spurs forward Tim Duncan, among the NBA's leaders in scoring, rebounding and blocked shots, has won the league's Most Valuable Player award, a league source said yesterday.
The five-year veteran outpolled New Jersey Nets guard Jason Kidd by a narrow margin, the source said on condition of anonymity.
Voting by a panel of 126 media members took place before the playoffs began.
Duncan led the Spurs to the Midwest Division title for the third time in four years while posting career bests in several categories.
Duncan's selection will be made public at a Thursday news conference in San Antonio, the San Antonio Express-News reported on its Web site late vestedday afternoon.
later yesterday afterwards.
Duncan is scheduled to be honored on Friday at the Alamodome, prior to Game 3 of the best-of-seven series between the Spurs and Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers won the first game of the Western Conference semifinals on Sunday in the Staples Center, with Game 2 to be played today.
He was fifth in the NBA in scoring at 25.5 points per game and second in rebounding at 12.7. He also averaged nearly four assists and blocked 2.48 shots — third in the NBA — while playing about 41 minutes.
and winning that one. ... The (MVP award) will take care of itself."
"Honestly, it's not of great importance right now," Duncan told reporters in Los Angeles after Monday's practice. "The important thing is the game tomorrow."
Duncan led the league with 67 double-doubles, and was voted to the All-NBA first team for the fifth time in as many seasons. He was also selected for the All-Defensive first team for the fourth straight year.
Last week Duncan left the Spurs for several days when his 71-year-old father William died after a long illness.
Without him, the Seattle SuperSonics soundly beat the Spurs to even their first-round playoff series at 2-2, but in the deciding Game 5. Duncan returned to an emotional reception at the Alamodome and paced San Antonio to a 101-78 victory that moved them to the second round.
The Big 12 Conference All-Tournament Team was announced this weekend. Kansas senior outfielder Shelly Musser was named to the team. Texas freshman pitcher Cat Osterman was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player. The team is as follows:
- Shelly Musser, Kansas, outfielder
- Sarah Caule, Baylor, outfielder

FOOTBALL Former Washington safety dies after full-body paralysis
SEATTLE — Curtis Williams, paralyzed from the neck down while playing football for the University of Washington in October 2000, died yesterday. He was 24.
Williams died at his brother's home in Fresno, Calif., Washington athletic department spokesman Jim Daves said.
Williams, who played safety, was injured in a helmet-to-helmet hit in a game against Stanford. He had spinal-cord surgery and was left with no voluntary muscle movement.
The Washington Huskies dedicated their victory over Purdue in the Rose Bowl in January 2001 to Williams, wearing his initials on their jerseys. Williams attended the game.
Williams returned to the school last month to watch the Huskies annual spring game, his first trip back since the injury.
He was six classes short of earning his degree from Washington in American Ethnic Studies. He had hoped to take correspondence courses and complete the work in about a year.
HORSE RACING Kansas City horse will likely race in Belmont Stakes
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — After finishing third in the Kentucky Derby, Perfect Drift, a horse owned by Stonecrest Farms in Kansas City, will likely skip the Preakness and concentrate on running in the Belmont Stakes, his owner said.
"His career is just beginning," William Reed said.
Perfect Drift's Derby performance was the best by a Kansas City-area horse since Lawrinn won the race in 1938.
"Sure we would have liked to win." Reed said. "But Perfect Drift ran a great race. He held the Kansas City banner high."
Derby winner War Emblem moved easily to the lead as expected, as Perfect Drift and others merely tried to keep pace.
"They were walking," Perfect Drift jockey Eddie Delahoussaye said. "I thought there would be five or six horses in front of me. But nobody was going with the leader."

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
Yankee not 'pitcher perfect'
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — More bad throws on bunts. Cutters that sail out of the strike zone. An exasperated expression in the dugout.
Sure doesn't look like the same old Mariano Rivera. And suddenly, some people are starting to wonder: What's wrong with Mo, the most dominant closer of his era?
"It's just a phase he's going through right now," New York Yankees manager Joe Torre said. "I hate to call it a slump because he's throwing the ball well.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 3B
"I have no worries that he's not
who he was."
Besides, Torre has concerns these dass other than his hobbit reliever.
After being swept at home by Seattle this weekend, the Yankees dropped to 18-14 and found themselves 41/2 games behind Boston. It was their largest deficit since 1997—the last year they didn't win the AL East or reach the World Series.
Also, this omen: Last season,
the Yankees lost only once when
they led by at least four runs (to
the Mets, when they chose not to use Rivera). This year, they've already blown three such games, two with Rivera.
"We need to pitch better, we need to hit better, we need to play better defense." Torre said. "Aside from that, we're fine."
Truth is, Riviera hasn't been terrible. The 32-year-old right-hander converted eight of 10 save opportunities, and is 1-1 with a 3.00 ERA. Most importantly, he's eager to pitch.
"If you lose your confidence, you might as well pack and go home," he said. "I want to get back out there as soon as I can."
Rivera will soon become the Yankees' career saves leader. He has 223, one behind Dave Righetti's team record.
Yet Rivera's control has been off, his fielding has become shaky and he's given up key hits, albeit some of them softly stroked. It probably didn't help that he went five days last week without pitching.
"I'd like to get into a rhythm. It will come in time," the relief face said.
Opposing hitters sure aren't rushing to the bat rack.
"I don't think there's a chink at all," said Seattle's Jeff Cirillo, who looped a go-ahead single off Rivera on Saturday. "The guy's awesome, the best closer in the game."
The Yankees hope so. Because for so long, they've counted on Rivera and his devastating cut fastball.
For those who doubt it, answer this question: How many titles would the Atlanta Braves now own if they'd had Rivera all these years?
Rivera's dominance, which included postseason records of 33 1-3 scorelearnings and 24 saves, abruptly ended in Game 7 of the World Series last November.
The Arizona Diamondbacks rallied for two runs against Rivera in the bottom of the ninth inning—helped by his wild throw to second base on a bunt—and won 3-2 when Luis Gonzalez blooped a single to center field.
"When things like this happen, everyone is looking for 'Ah hat! We finally found the secret,'" Torre said after Rivera recently faltered. "There is no secret. They know what he throws."
Pitcher's health still debated
The Associated Press
ST.LOUIS — Woody Williams is anxious to pitch. Too anxious, the St. Louis Cardinals sav.
After throwing 75 pitches off the bullpen mound Sunday, the righthander who's been sidelined since his first start with a pulled muscle in his side, felt he was almost ready to go. That would be good news for an injury-ravaged staff that has six pitchers — five of them starters — on the disabled list.
One rehab start. Williams said should be enough for him to make his target date of rejoining the rotation by the middle of May.
“There’s no pain,” he said. “I’m only going to do one if I feel good. To me, there’s no reason to go down and wait until I throw 100 pitches. I want to throw 100 pitches here.”
The response from manager Tony La Rusa: Not so fast. The Cardinals want Williams, a 15-game winner who was a big reason the team tied for the NL Central championship, healthy the rest of the way. They're willing to wait until there's absolutely no doubt there will be no relapse.
"Unless you want to print a retraction, I'd be really careful saying he's going to take one rehab start," La Russa said. "What I'm saying is it's great he's feeling that good. But when we get him back, we want to keep him back."
For Williams, despite the fact he's feeling fine, the question mark remains. It may be June before he's back in the rotation and it's wearing on him a bit.
from," Williams said. "The trainers never told me that and the doctors never said that. They said the middle of May, so I'm disappointed it's not going to be then."
La Russa's message to Williams: be patient
"I don't know where that came
Williams wants to be a contributor to a team that entered the week 14-17.
"He needs to stay on the program and keep doing more and more," La Russa said. "But he is throwing the ball well and he is feeling good."
"It's hard to sit around when we're losing," Williams said. "If we were going good it would be a little easier to watch. Not like I'm going to make a big difference, but at least I want to be more of a part of it."

'Spider-Man' nets record dollars
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Its record $114.8 million debut puts Spider-Man, the new superhero of film franchises, in position to give even Star Wars a run for its money as the year's biggest hit.
With positive reviews, appeal to audiences of many ages and solid repeat business already, Spider-Man is virtually assured of becoming one of the top-grossing movies ever.
Domestic rankings now are headed by Titanic ($601 million), Star Wars ($461 million), E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial ($434 million), Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace ($431 million) and Jurassic Park ($357 million).
"Spider-Man is now the film to beat for highest-grossing film of 2002," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Exhibitor Relations Co. Inc. "I don't predict grosses, but in this case, the $400 million range is a doable figure."
The movie, which stars Tobey Maguire as the web-slinging hero from the Marvel comic
book, sees its first real competition on May 16 when Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones opens.
The Star Wars film will be hard-pressed to put up opening-weekend numbers approaching those of Spider-Man. Attack of the Clones debuts on a Thursday, which could reduce its Friday-to-Sunday receipts because the most eager fans already will have seen it.
And distributor 20th Century Fox is opening Attack of the Clones in about 3,000 theaters, 600 fewer than Spider-Man.
The advantage for Star Wars, on the other hand, is that it's an established franchise whose films tend to have staying power, while the long-term prospects for Spider-Man are less certain.
The final weekend box-office figure released for Spider-Man yesterday was slightly higher than the $114 million distributor Sony had estimated a day earlier. It easily surpassed the previous best debut of $90.3 million set last fall by Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and became the first film to hit $100 million in just three days.
"In the heart of hearts, at least for me, I was looking at Harry Potter thinking that was as big as one can get. How could you get in that neighborhood?" said Avi Arad, chief executive of Marvel Studios. "But your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man came to the neighborhood and took it over."
Harry Potter topped out at $317 million domestically, 3.5 times its gross from opening weekend. If Spider-Man can match that performance over the long haul, it would reach $400 million.
The movie's two-hour running time - half an hour shorter than Harry Potter - allows theaters to squeeze in more screenings each day.
Before Spider-Man even opened, Sony was confident enough to approve a sequel, which begins shooting in January with Sam Raimi returning to direct. Marvel Studios' other comic-book adaptations include X-men and its upcoming sequel, the Blade movies, and next year's Hulk and Daredevil.

ROWING
TUESDAY, MAY 7.2002
"I'm sure there are some negative thoughts, but I think she has taken a positive approach to it. I realize it means a lot," Catloth said. "She is enthusiastic and works hard every day. She has a great attitude."
Parsons said she understood why the move was probably made.
"I've got a lot of brute strength, but I struggle sometimes with some aspects of technical rowing." Parsons said. "I don't have outright control of the boat. A lot of times my adrenalin kicks in and it's difficult for me not to row a little harder. I sometimes don't stay at the same speed as the other rows."
Catloth said Parsons might be back in the first varsity eight-boat for the Central Regionals in two weeks if she rowed well in practice.
Parsons said she was worried more about what was best for the team rather than which boat she would race in.
Kansas finished its season in the Top 25 nationally during Parsons' first three years as a Jayhawk. This year, the Jayhawks will
have pull off a miracle at the NCAA Central Regionals if they hope for the same kind of finish.
"We have amazing talent. We just haven't clicked into gear this season," Parsons said. "I have personally rowed pretty well, especially in the fall. I'm not sure what the problem is."
Despite all of the adversity she has faced during the past few months, Parsons has remained positive.
"I try to be a good role model," said Parsons, who was selected by her teammates as one of the team's four captains this season. "I try to keep people motivated and try to be there as much as possible for my team."
Parsons said she would like nothing more than a strong finish for the Jayhawks at the Central Regionals, to be held May 18-19 in Oak Ridge. Tenn.
"Losing has taken a toll on some of the girls," she said. "I just want to get everyone fired up for this race and end my career on a winning note."

Ferrari said most people didn't know about the men's volleyball club because it just formed in February. He said next year would be its big outing.
"We're hoping with the influx of incoming freshman next year that we can form a better organized club, get money from the University, travel as a team and play competitively," he said.
Trelsa said the women's lacrosse team was looking to expand as well.
Both teams include the Kansas Kids' Fitness Day in their plans for next year.
"Recruiting is very difficult for us, so by starting the kids earlier, the sport will grow and help us out in the long run," she said.
"The teachers thanked us and were glad we came out." Brown said. "Hopefully we can do it again."

Bars make preparations for stop day
By Erica Hood Special to the Kansan
Molly LaMere, Papillion, Neb., senior, says she will be visiting many of Lawrence's downtown bars on stop day Friday.
Stop day is supposed to be a day for University of Kansas students to prepare for their finals, but many of the University's 19,651 undergraduates use the free day to party instead.
"The end of the semester is so stressful so stop day gives us a chance to relax before we have to take final," LaMere said.
LaMere can walk in and out of any bar she chooses because she is 21, but her underage friends may not be able to party with her this weekend. Bar owners and the Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control agency are taking extra measures to make sure underage drinking is under control.
SWIPING YOUR IDENTITY
"You have to be careful when going out on stop day if you're underage because security seems to be higher than normal," LaMere said.
Employees at Abe and Jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth St., will take precautionary measures to prevent underage students from drinking at their bar on stop day, manager James Radina said.
Two workers will be at the door to check each ID. Then the ID will be placed in a video drop box that takes a picture of it.
The ABC will send extra officers to Lawrence on stop day to monitor underage drinking. Agent Pete Bodyk said.
If the door workers think an ID is fake, they can swipe it through a police scanner or ask for a second form of identification, Radina said.
"ABC have been to all downtown bars more this year so there's been a drop off in the amount of underage students trying to get into Abe and Jake's." Radina said.
The ABC also sends officers to bars to check IDs of random, underage-looking customers.
Contact Hood at editor@kansan.com. This story was edited by Kristi Henderson.
The agency usually sends one or two officers to randomly selected bars on most weekends, but up to six will be in Lawrence the weekend before finals, Bodyk said.
Last year LaMere went to a friend's house on stop day to hang out with her friends because she was not 21 yet.
"I guess it's better that underage students have to be more careful now," LaMere said, "but I'm just glad I'm 21 and can enjoy my stop day anywhere I want."
"We are able to send more officers to Lawrence because our headquarters is located in Topeka, which is so close," Bodyk said.
The ABC provides training to bar owners to help them detect underage patrons more easily. Bodyk said.
"They check IDs at the door, but pretty much anyone in that fraternity can get in no matter what age they are," Waugh said.
In addition to bar-hopping, some students attend fraternity parties. Adam Waugh, Topeka junior, just turned 21. He said he would attend a fraternity party Friday.
"It is up to them if they want to let people under 21 into the bar," Bodyk said. "It is their responsibility to make sure they don't drink."

like many KU seniors, Lindsey Hafner thought she should get a credit card and begin using it before she graduated this May.
The only problem was, someone already had ruined her credit.
"I have a 14-page credit report that's all delinquent," the Great Bend senior said.
Not just one person, but two people had stolen Hafner's identity. They spent more than $7,000 in her name
at stores in Topeka and Lawrence.
"It was really eerie," Hafner said. "A receipt that one of the girls had signed looked like she had almost studied my signature. She has used addresses from when I lived in a dorm. They know so much about me, and I know nothing about them. And the worst part is not knowing how they got the information."
It's easy for people to get a credit card using someone else's personal
information, police say. What's hard is clearing your credit when identity thieves strike. It can take years, victims say, and even then they never know if their credit is safe.
"To prove to people it's not you takes some doing," said Valerie Renault, public information officer for the University of Kansas Bureau of Child Research.

Group asks city to revisit housing ordinance
By Lauren Beatty
By Lauren Beatty Kansan staff writer
A Lawrence rental-property ordinance that went into effect in February came under attack last night, as landlords and tenants continued to threaten legal action unless the city changed its codes.
Chris Miller, attorney for the Citizen's Rights Committee, a group of local landlords and tenants, told city commissioners that he wanted them to revisit the issue of City Ordinance 7326 or the committee would sue the city.
The ordinance requires all rental homes in single-family residential zoning districts to be inspected for compliance to housing and safety codes.
"We would like to see that issue revisited, instead of go to court," he said. "But we do intend to go forward."
The Citizens Rights Committee claims the ordinance violates constitutional rights provided in the fourth amendment, which prohibits unreasonable searches of property.
"This commission has made it clear that we are concerned with the safety of citizens, and we will uphold the ordinance," she said.
Mayor Sue Hack said the commission had no plans to revisit the issue.
Hack said the attorney general had previously made it clear to the city commission that what they were doing was legal.
"I'm comfortable the courts will uphold that." she said.
The rental registration ordinance went into effect Feb. 1. On Feb. 13, the committee told the city commission its intention to bring the matter to court.
The city legally had 120 days to respond. Last night's meeting served as another warning to the city. The city now has 36 days left, and a claim has been filed.
Ten landlords and five tenants are listed on the claim as plaintiffs. In the claim, the landlords seek lost income, lost property value and punitive damages. The tenants seek reimbursement for additional rent obligations.

ROTC Marine Amber Jones, Joplin, Mo., sophomore, will be the first woman to attend the Mountain Warfare Training Center in Bridgeport, Calif. Jones' training starts in June and will last about three weeks.
Female will be training center's first
By Mike Gilligan Kansan staff writer
One student will try to accomplish something this summer that no other woman has ever done.
Amber Jones, Joplin, Mo., sophomore, is a Marine in the ROTC program at the University of Kansas. This summer she will attend mountain warfare training in Bridgeport, Calif. Jones will leave in June and her training will last about three weeks. No woman has ever finished the training.
Jones, one of only two female marines at KU, said she was not nervous about being the only female at the training.
"We're all going to be doing the same
thing," she said. "We're all going to be together so it shouldn't be that big of a deal."
Jones's advisor and Marine Corps Capt. Bill Howell said he spoke with people from the mountain warfare training division and told them Jones would be a good candidate.
"It originally met with some hesitance because there has never been a female midshipman attending the training before," he said. "But you can never under-estimate someone's heart."
Chris Stark, Springfield, Mo., senior and a Marine in the KU ROTC program, attended the training in the summer of 2000. He said the training was extremely physically demanding.
"I lost about 20 pounds during the
three weeks," he said.
Stark said the training included a lot of rock-climbing, rappelling and even catching rabbits for food.
Jones said she had been doing extra workouts to prepare for the training.
She said about 20 to 25 people would be in the training group.
Howell said Jones being accepted into the program was the start of something good.
"Someone always has to kind of break that door open, get their foot through the door and leave it open for everybody else," he said.

312-prefix campus telephone numbers to change to 812
All telephone numbers for student housing on campus have changed prefixes from 312 to 812.
The University of Kansas now owns all 10,000 numbers in the 812 exchange. Todd Cohen, assistant director University Relations, said this would give KU more flexibility for expanding service to students. The Department of Student Housing worked with the Department of Networking and Telecommunications Services to
He said the University was already using 2,400 of the 5,000 312 numbers it owned, and when the opportunity to acquire a prefix with a one-digit change from Southwestern Bell presented itself, the University took it.
change the prefixes.
"It took about 15 years to max out the 864 prefix, so now we don't have to worry about maxing out the 312 and having to introduce a third prefix." Cohen said.
The last six digits of all numbers will remain the same, and five-digit dialing from on-campus phones will still allow callers to dial 2 plus the last four digits of the number.
Until May 30, numbers may be dialed from off-campus phones using either 312 or 812, but beginning May 31, callers dialing from off campus must use 812.

BRIEFS Sunflower Drive to close in summer for repairs
Sunflower Drive, the road between Watson Library and Stauffer-Flint Hall, will be closed this summer while a steam tunnel that runs underneath it is replaced.
Construction is scheduled for May 28 through Aug.9, Harmon said.
The steam tunnel system, which supplies heat to campus buildings and carries some electrical and communications lines, must be shut off in order to repair a tunnel, said Roger Harmon, project manager for Design and Construction Management.
During that time, traffic and pedestrians will not be allowed through the street, but the road behind Wescoe Hall and the parking lot behind Watson Library will still be accessible, Harmon said.

SDC to hold reception for nontraditional grads
The Student Development Center will hold the fourth annual reception for nontraditional graduates from 2 to 4 p.m. on May 17 at the English Room in the Kansas Union.
Laura Morgan, assistant director for the center, said the commencement and reception was an opportunity to recognize the accomplishments of nontraditional students.
"The commencement is a real celebration given the sacrifices that many of the students have made to be here and succeed here." Morgan said.
Nontraditional students include those who are several years older than the average college student, are married or are parents, are veterans, or who commute from outside of Lawrence. They make up 20 to 30 percent of the student body.
Morgan said that nontraditional graduate students and others who graduated in December or plan to graduate in the summer are also welcome to attend.
Contact the center for more information or to RSVP at 864-4064. Student graduates who RSVP by May 14 will receive commemorative tassels.

Alcohol decision to come soon
NO ALCOHOL
BEYOND
THIS POINT
Heather Steen Special to the Kansan
Last season, students were allowed alcohol at tailgate parties at Memorial Stadium. In the next month, Chancellor Robert Hemenway is expected to decide whether to continue that policy.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Don't pack that cooler vet.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway is expected to make a decision in the next month about whether or not to continue allowing alcohol at tailgate parties at Memorial Stadium next season.
Last fall's tailgating program was a success, he said.
When he approved alcohol at Memorial Stadium tailgating, Hemenway said he would evaluate the program at the end of the fall semester, but the decision hasn't come because Hemenway is waiting for a recommendation from the committee that evaluated the tailgating program after each game, said Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations and member of the committee.
She said the committee would make its recommendation after graduation when the chancellor was not as busy.
Richard Konzem, associate athletic director; Ralph Oliver, director of public safety; and representatives from student affairs are also on the committee.
"It appears to me that most people were very responsible," Hemenway said.
Alcohol at tailgating parties was one of Athletic Director Al Bohl's ideas to raise attendance at football games and to provide a more festive atmosphere.
Compared to the year before, average attendance at home football games in 2001 was up about 7,300 people.
Another holdup is that the
Kansas Board of Regent's only allows alcohol to be served at approved "official University events and/or fund-raising activities for University programs."
For next season, the committee is trying to create a fund raiser that wouldn't get in the way of other groups trying to make money, such as concessions or the KU Bookstore.
Last year, the fund raiser originally benefited the KU band, but it only received $466 because after Sept. 11, KU joined the rest of the Big 12 schools to raise money for Disaster Relief and the Families of Freedom Scholarship Fund.
About $9,330 was raised for the fund from T-shirt sales during tailgate parties.
So many shirts were sold at games that "the bookstore lost money hand over fist." Bretz said.
Mike Reed, KU Bookstore Manager, said the bookstore lost about $18,000 in profit as a result of people not buying other shirts that made a profit.
"There was no real loss except selling a shirt without making a profit," Reed said. "If they bought a real shirt we would have made a profit."
Before approving alcohol at tailgating parties next fall, the committee wants to find an alternative for fund raising.
The fund raising component for next year "is not going to be a T-shirt." Bretz said.
Despite the need for a fund raiser, the athletics department supports the continuation of alcohol at tailgate parties.

"The inclusion of alcohol resulted in a festive atmosphere around the stadium." Konzem said. "Additionally, we did not encounter any alcohol-related problems."

Fraternities to begin formal recruitment process
By Caroline Boyer Kansan staff writer
For the first time this summer, all fraternities will hold a weekend of formal recruitment for incoming freshman.
From July 15 to 16, potential members will visit all 21 fraternities, narrowing it down to three by the final day. The three chapters will be able to extend a bid on the final day, and the recruit can then choose which one he'd like to join.
"The University has been letting people know that if they want to get into a fraternity, they should
The Interfraternity Council began planning the recruit weekend this spring and ratified the rules last night.
If any chapter should choose not to participate in formal recruitment for any reason, it will not be allowed to sign new members from July 13 until the start of classes and will be subject to a fine of $1,500 per person for doing so.
sign up for orientation on that weekend," said Andy Knopp, president of IFC.
Although a formal recruitment period has been organized, Knopp, Manhattan sophomore, said a majority of members will still come from informal recruitment parties during the spring and summer semesters. Informal parties are usually on an individual chapter basis. Chapters could have such activities as going paint balling, having a barbecue, or
having a non-alcoholic party.
Knopp said the weekend of formal recruitment was largely for out-of-state students and first generation greeks who weren't familiar with the process.
"With the informal process you almost have to know someone in the system who knows how it works," Knopp said. "We're trying to catch the straglers or the guys who didn't really know to send stuff to the IFC office."
Egan Waggoner, vice president for recruitment, said that this meant only about half of the fraternities were represented in the formal recruitment.
The IFC has had formal recruitment periods sporadically in the past, usually at the beginning of the fall semester. In these cases, only chapters who needed more members or wanted to participate took part in the formal recruitment.
"When you only have half of them, it can be unappealing to a potential member if he can't see all of the different chapters," said Waggoner, Beloit sophomore.
Angie Carr, director of greek programs, said if the program was a success, the summer recruitment could become permanent.
"If it works out and we have good attendance, then I think it's something that should continue," Carr said.

EDITORIAL Students must stay tough on tuition
Whether we like it or approve of it, there have been budget cuts at the University of Kansas. Because of the state's financial status, all agencies have cut back, some more than others. However, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. With the tuition increase, and the Legislature upholding state funding for education, the years to follow can only improve.
Indeed, already tough times will be even worse next year. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is facing a $1.9 million budget cut this year, according to Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, dean of liberal arts and sciences. Already this year, Leslie Pierson, a Spanish 108 teaching assistant, has experienced frustration within the College. Pierson had only used the copying services one time this semester, yet was not allowed to photocopy her four-page review for the final. She will have to pay out of her own pocket for reviews for her students.
But there is reason for optimism. Administrative costs such as photocopying paper and telephone costs are cut first, as opposed to cutting salaries.
The tuition increase that will take effect this summer will provide new revenue that the University desperately needs. On a positive note, those extra dollars will not only make up for reduced state funding, but hopefully improve our education. The College has already made requests in anticipation of the tuition increase, such as increasing GTA salaries, raises for non-faculty staff and increased scholarships for study abroad programs.
Last Friday, the state Senate approved a $4.4 billion budget would keep state funding for public schools and higher education at the same level as last year. This is excellent news, because every other state agency will receive budgetary cuts. To maintain this education funding in a period of economic crisis for the state, some taxes will have to be approved to create the $290 million revenue shortfall.
While the cuts may affect some students and faculty more than others, everyone needs to hang in there until it gets better. There's not a lot we can do right now to improve the state budget situation or avert a tuition increase.
On the other hand, as a University community we can work to make sure the promises of brighter days is fulfilled. Stay involved on campus and in the state to ensure state funding for education is not cut next year. Don't let administrators off the hook when it comes to technology and faculty and GTA salaries. Continue telling your state representatives that you are a voter and you value higher education. We have to deal with the cards that have been dealt us, but that doesn't mean we have to sit idly by and wait for better days.
It is up to all of us to make sure that the funding crisis is only a one-year deal.

As the semester draws to a close I have been in an overwhelmingly reflective mood, and on the eve of Mother's Day I am decidedly thankful as well.
So for one column I will take away my usual sarcasm and cynicism and take afew moments to thank the nurturing queens of the universe otherwise known as moms.
I am talking about the woman who brought you into this crazy world. The woman who changed your diapers, made you chicken noodle soup when you were sick, and caught you watching Cinemax on a Friday night when you were 13.
COMMENTARY
Unfortunately, many people don't want to or don't get to celebrate Mother's Day because they have lost their mom or they don't get along with their mom. But fortunately for me, I have the best mom in the world. I know many of you think that you have the best mom, but I am pretty sure my mom is by the far the best one.
When you are younger they do everything for you. They dress you, feed you, cut your hair
Because of my undying love for my mom, I think Mother's Day shouldn't just be a "day" of recognition. It should be a full blown holiday complete with a day off school and some sort of gift exchange system similar to Christmas. Giving a card or a present just doesn't justify all that moms do for us.

rated movie with the rest of your friends.
Then there is the infamous crotch grab that moms to do to their sons to make sure the pants have enough crotch room. Guys, you know what I'm talking about.
Around that age, you begin to realize that mothers also have the ability to get under your skin faster than anyone else. This is when you thought the world was going to end when she wouldn't let you pierce your ears, stay at a friends for a co-ed sleepover or see the new Rand basically do everything in their power to make you look like a dork. They made you wear the sailor suit for the picture that is still hanging in your house to this day. They are the ones that made you go to soccer practice even though you just wanted to watch cartoons all day.
Then as you grow a little older into adolescence we all go through that phase where we feel like we don't need our moms and that we are too cool for our moms. We wanted to be dropped off two blocks from the mall and away from school and if God forbid we actually went somewhere in public with her, it had to be very quick and discrete.
But what makes a mother-child relationship so unique and special is that to a mom, you are just a son or daughter, nothing more or less. No matter how cool, rich or powerful you think are, your mom still remembers when you were five and you still peed in your bed and were afraid of the dark. Even though you may grow up to be something prestigious like the CEO of a Fortune 500 company or a columnist for the Kansan, your mom might be happy for you, but she's not impressed. She would be a lot more impressed if you'd cuss less, said "please" and "thank you" more, and above all else, visited home more often.
So thank you to all the moms across the world and here at KU. And to everyone who has been as fortunate as me to have a loving and nurturing mom or to those want to have a better relationship with their mothers, do something special for them because they deserve it for putting up with you for this long.

PERSPECTIVE
'Kansan' staffers need to put their best foot forward, provide readers with accurate, balanced stories
Tomorrow, another semester of the Kansan will end. It will also be the end of my association with the newspaper. After five hectic years here, doing everything from drawing cartoons to writing news stories, I'm headed off to graduation.
I guess I'm emotional about it. Any attempt I make to sum up this semester, to say how the newspaper has done serving its readers, will probably be affected. So bear with me.
I love The University Daily Kansan. I really do. I came to KU because of the journalism program, because of this very newspaper.
That's why the paper has both frustrated and delighted me this semester. Because I was supposed to look at it with a critical eye in these columns as the readers' representative, I focused on the Kansan's problems. And it does have them.
The newspaper too often takes the easy road. Because it's a student production, because it's full of people learning, Kansan staffers sometimes take it easy. Stories are covered indifferently and mechanically. Press releases are given a quick rewrite and tossed onto an inside page. Copy editing and design stray into the haphazard.
Yet the paper can go above and beyond, too. This semester, a large and talented pool of reporters has turned out interesting final projects. Investigative work and determined digging have yielded fascinating results.
READERS' REPRESENTATIVE
Clay McCuistion
READERS REPRESENTATIVE
I wish that the Kansan could take a more even approach — applying thorough, aggressive reporting techniques to the stories we write each and every day. Reading this newspaper shouldn't be like riding a roller coaster of quality.
Perhaps a goal of evenness is impossible. Our reporters still have to go to classes, like the rest of you. But people expect a lot from the Kansan.
From the e-mails and comments I've received throughout the semester, one message stands out: We want you to tell us what's going on. Kansan staffers are entrusted with an enormous responsibility. We can try to ignore it. I sometimes tried to during my years here. But that doesn't make the responsibility go away.
To me, newspapers are ultimately about one thing: Making people think. News stories, editorials, photos and even cartoons should work together to constantly inform and challenge the reader. No newspaper can exist that doesn't somehow engage its audience's sensibility.
The Kansan will continue on next semester, even as I hunt for gainful employment. It will hopefully continue on for years and years to come. But it can do better. The Kansan engaged people this semester, without a doubt. But there is always room to make changes, to look at the front page and wonder, "What should go on there?"
along the way, no doubt. Within the last couple of weeks, readers commented critically on stories about salvia, a legal hallucinogen, and a profile of a homeless man. Yet I would rather see reporters reach out and try something different and fall short than stay inside a bland comfort zone.
The newspaper will raise ethical questions
Even if the paper won awards right and left, I would probably feel it could do better. We owe our existence to our readers. And we owe it to them to do the best we can. Always.

Local shelter could remain open
By Leah Shaffer
Kansan staff writer
Hannah's House, which provides shelter and counseling to pregnant teenagers, may close its doors because of a lack of funding and residents.
"It would leave it open for some other group to come in and become the board of Hannah's," said Danny Trent, vice-president of the board.
After a meeting Monday night, the Hannah's House Board of Directors voted to "suspend operations" instead of closing the house. That would leave the possibility for the house to stay open.
Trent said Hannah's House, 2216 Alabama St., must have a new board of directors that would take on financial responsibilities by June 3, when the next board meeting will occur. If no one puts in a proposal by that time, then the current board of directors will vote to close the house.
Trent said after the board initially voted to close it on April 8, members of the community expressed interest in fund raising and taking over the house. He said that by merely suspending operations, the house would retain its current license to operate as a maternity home and that they could smoothly transition from one board to another.
April Ramos, clinical director for the house, said that a new board would have to take on the problem of funding Hannah's House. Rams said it cost $18,000 to $20,000 per month to operate the house, but right now, the money wasn't coming in.
She said that Hannah's House receives funding from the state for each girl in the house. Recently, there was only one girl living at the house and she was moved out because of the closing. Even if the house was at its full capacity, it would only receive $12,000 a month. The rest of the money would come from grants and donations.
Ramos said that getting grant money would be tough because of budget cuts at the state level.
"I'm waiting to see what volunteers want to do," she said.

SWIPING YOUR IDENTITY
IDENTITY
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Renault should know. She worked six years to clear her credit after finding out in 1994 that someone was using her maiden name and social security number.
"I was mad and I didn't want to have to sit down and crank out some letters." Renault said. "I think the anger kept me going."
Experts say between 500,000 and 750,000 people nationwide were victims of identity theft in 2001. But the number of identity thefts could be as high as a million, according to the Identity Theft Resource Center, a nonprofit organization based in San Diego, Calif.
"No one has confirmed stats because no one is keeping track of them," said Linda Foley, executive director of the center. "We only have best guesses that it is increasing 20 to 50 percent yearly, depending on the jurisdiction. We do know that the crimes are getting more complex and that more and more time is required by victims to restore records."
Foley, herself a victim of identity theft, established the center in 1999 because of the growing need for victim assistance and rising number of identity thefts.
Part of the increase in identity theft is connected to the increasing use of credit technology, said Sgt. Mike Patrick of the Lawrence Police Department.
"With the advent of electronic purchases, I think we'll see an increase of identity thefts, especially where a picture ID is not required," Patrick said.
Identity thieves use a variety of tactics.
IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU:
"One of the most intrusive and most difficult to know is theft of mail," Pattrick said. In the case of a missing purse, etc., victims know immediately that their credit cards and identity are at risk. But if mail has been stolen, victims don't know anything is missing until the bills from fraudulent cards roll in, he said.
At least one identity theft occurs every minute
On average, victims spend 175 hours and $308 in out-of-pocket expenses to clear their credit.
Some Kansas legislators tried to pass a law this year to offer protection from identity theft.
The number of identity thefts increased 30 to 40 percent per year for the past several years.
Credit card companies lose about $1 billion a year nationally because of credit card fraud.
Sources: www.idtheftcenter.org and www.cardweb.com.
Sen. Barbara Allen, who was a victim of bank fraud last year, sponsored a bill that would have required drivers' licenses to have a thumbprint and facial recognition technology.
Allen said the bill would make it more difficult to acquire a false ID and to steal someone's identity.
"From all I researched, Kansas is one of the easiest states in the country to obtain a false identification," she said.
Kansas drivers' licenses already have color pictures, but Allen's bill would have required software that would compare photos and thumbprints from issued cards with new application photos and thumbprints. A person would be able to get only one ID with that face, name and thumbprint.
The bill passed in the Senate, but it was amended to require only facial recognition and then added to another bill before going to the House where it failed.
Allen said she would continue trying to get the bill passed on its own and in its original version.
Butsheknowshersuccess will be a long shot, because of concern over protecting people's privacy.
"Facial recognition is not as effective as a thumbprint, but we already take color photos," she said. "Because of that, it's probably more acceptable to people."
Other Kansas legislators such as Sen. Edward Pugh are wary of
Pugh said such laws would put the responsibility to stop identity thefts on the wrong people.
using any type of identifier.
"What we need to do is put the responsibility on creditors," Pugh said. "They don't want to go to the trouble of thoroughly researching. If creditors give credit to the wrong people, they haven't done their part."
He added, "That's the creditors' abuse. Consumers are going to have to stand up and say we're not going to take this."
Rod Griffin, manager of public relations for Experian credit reporting agency and 1991 KU graduate, said Experian had procedures to help credit card distributors verify addresses, names, social security numbers and other information of credit card applicants.
It's difficult for an identity thief to match all the information he said.
"What typically happens in identity theft is they'll alter an address so the victim doesn't get the bills, which would signal that identity theft is occurring," Griffin said.
If discrepancies occur, they may signal fraud, he said, which would lead to an investigation.
Credit agencies take identity theft precautions very seriously, said Mark Humphries, chief operating officer for KU Credit Union. But he would not specify what procedures the union took, because he did not want to give identity thieves a better chance at success.
He did say an important factor at the credit union was having a relationship with customers before offering a credit card.
"You've got to have an account to get a card," Humphries said. "We go to great lengths to protect member information and we have an extremely strict privacy policy. It's a rarity for us to have an identity theft."
Humphries said if a member's identity were stolen, it was usually because a credit card was stolen.
Hafner, the KU student with $7,000 worth of bad credit, said stores that offer charge cards should take more precautions to
"Stores need to be more cautious and look for this, and actually ask for a photo ID every single time someone writes a check or opens a charge or check account," she said.
But fraudulent IDs are hard to catch, said Craig Alexander, cashier team leader for SuperTarget, 3201 Iowa St.
protect shoppers from identity theft.
"Usually there's really no way to tell unless a prompt comes up to check the ID," he said. "And we tell our cashiers to check signatures. Other than that, I don't know any other way to see fraud."
Even if an ID didn't match an application or if a prompt appeared, a store couldn't do much.
"Unfortunately, we can't keep an ID card," Alexander said. "We just make sure we get the person on camera, and if we remember the name, we can report it. We are supposed to call the police if there's anything suspicious. Then they decide what's appropriate action."
For Hafner and Renault, appropriate action would be seeing the thieves tracked down and caught. But that's not happening either.
Catching identity thieves is almost as difficult as clearing one's credit, said Lt. John Sidwell of the Topeka Police Department.
"There isn't a whole bunch of evidence to work with," he said. "Our clearance rate is 10, maybe 15 percent."
Renault, who spent six years working to clear her credit, called her efforts a lot of hassle and worry.
She wrote the three major credit agencies, Equifax, Experian and Trans Union; put a fraud alert on her file with each credit agency; wrote individual creditors; called creditors, police in Lawrence and Massachusetts where her identity was used, collection agencies and companies where the thief had worked; spent time researching on the computer and going to the post office; wrote letters to the IRS; and filed a notice with Social
Security
Renault thought her credit was clear in 2000, but she received a letter from a collection agency last year for a 1996 bill.
She decided to contact U.S.
Sen. Pat Roberts, U.S. Sen. Sam
Brownback and U.S. Rep. Dennis
Moore.
Moore contacted the Kansas Attorney General's office and Roberts contacted the social security office, she said.
Security.
"They really got more results than I expected," she said.
She still has to keep track of her credit.
Renault told her story in a press conference called by Kansas Attorney General Carla Stovall in February 2002 to warn consumers about identity theft.
"I don't think she's still using it," Renault said. "It's just eerie, thinking she's out there somewhere, waiting to use my name again. And thinking they apparently have no scruples — that's maddening."
Renault said every victim felt the same rage toward identity thieves.
"I'd like to see this person behind bars," she said.
Hafner is still dealing with emotions caused by the invasion of her privacy.
"You kind of have an unsettled feeling, knowing that in my case, not only one but two people are out there using all my information, basically living as me," she said.
Like Renault, Hafner has worked hard to clear her credit. She took two weeks off work to file reports with Lawrence and Topeka police departments, visit each store and call fraud units, even for cards that were opened but not used.
"You have to do it all yourself basically," Hafner said. "Any free time I have is calling these credit people. It's really time consuming."
Only a few months have passed since Hafner's identity was taken, but her life may be altered already.
"I'm applying to grad school next year. If I don't get financial assistance from my parents or from financial aid, there's no way I could go out right now and get a
TO CHECK YOUR CREDIT
What to do? Order a copy of your credit report from the three major credit companies.
Equifax; Call (800) 658-1111 or write P.O. Box 740241, Atlanta, GA 30374-0241.
Experian: Call (888) EXPERIAN or write P.O. Box 2104, Allen TX 75013.
Trans Union: Call (800) 898-4213 or write P.O. Box 390, Springfield, PA 19064.
How much it costs: $6 in most states.
IF YOUR IDENTITY HAS BEEN STOLEN:
1. Alert the credit companies.
2. Contact creditors for any accounts that have been tampered with or opened fraudulently.
3. File a report with your local police or the police in the community where the identity theft took place.
4. Contact the local district attorney's office.

loan," Hafner said. "And it's because of this. So what am I left to do?"
Renault said victims could be those who least expected it.
"I'm almost tempted to think people with clean records are more subject," she said. "You just think everything's OK."
For better protection, Renault said people should have at least one credit card.
"It's almost better to have one so you have a history," Renault said. "I know it sounds kind of odd, Just get a credit card and pay it off. Keep track of it, even though it's a pain."
Whether you have a credit card or not, Hafner said you should check your credit every six months to avoid a false sense of security.
"I was always like, oh, it will never happen to me," Hafner said. "Well, it did."

Proposed tax increase draws little support
The Associated Press
TOPEKA - Republican leaders in both legislative chambers were having trouble building support for the tax increases necessary to finance a budget lawmakers already have passed.
A proposal before the Senate would increase taxes $335 million to help finance government programs. But GOP leaders were not sure it would pass and were trying to draft an alternative.
"We're still trying to devise the most correct plan," said Senate Assessment and Taxation Committee Chairman Dave Corbin, R-Towanda.
Meanwhile, House Republican leaders hoped to build their own package by dealing with Democrats.
The Senate plan would increase a wide array of taxes to eliminate a $290 million hole in the budget legislators sent to Gov. Bill Graves last week. That
budget would appropriate $4.4 billion for the fiscal year beginning July 1.
The bill would increase the sales tax to 5.2 percent from 4.9 percent and increase the cigarette tax by 65 cents a pack,to 89 cents. Individual income taxes also would increase.
The Senate had been scheduled to debate the bill Tuesday, but Majority Leader Lana Olean, R-Manhattan, said members need more time to review it and prepare amendments.
"I don't anticipate that we will run the bill," she said. "But I want people to know it will be soon."
In the House, GOP leaders continued meetings with Democrats to see whether they strike a deal with the minority party.
Legislators must decide how much they'll raise taxes, then approve a budget cleanup bill, to finish their business for the year. Tuesday was the seventh day of their wrap-up session and the
97th legislative day for the year.
The Senate approved and sent the House its version of the cleanup bill Saturday after adding a $20 increase in aid to public schools, making it $3,890 per pupil. Under the budget that went to Graves, aid would remain at $3,870 per pupil.
House Speaker Kent Glasscock said Monday that he doesn't plan to have has chamber take up the budget cleanup bill until it passes a tax package.
Glasscock and other GOP leaders met for about 45 minutes Monday with Democratic leaders about the budget and tax issues.
Minority Leader Jim Garner, D-COffeyville, said some Democrats consider $20 per pupil a "token" increase in aid to public schools.
And Rep. Bruce Larkin, D-Bailevyville, top Democrat on the House Taxation Committee, said some Democrats still want a $100 increase, to $3,970 per pupil.
But the House has yet to accept
"I'd like to have more for public schools, but at this point, it's all about revenue," said Glasscock, R-Manhattan.
There are tax issues, too. Democrats have consistently argued that any package should include an income tax increase and not rely only on sales and excise taxes, which many Democrats view as unfair to working families.
Glasscock that Democratic leaders have not presented a clear picture of what they want, making it difficult to strike a deal.
Larkin called Monday's meeting "very unproductive," then acknowledged that Democrats may not know exactly what they want.
"There just hasn't been a general consensus." he said.
Sitting out the negotiations were conservative Republicans, who have said any deal between moderate GOP leaders and Democrats probably will add money to the budget.

The measure, approved on a 101-23 House vote, would permit the state to issue $133 million in bonds.
The state would be obligated to pay off $50 million in bonds, with payments of up to $10 million a year, starting in 2004. Federal funds and private donations
"Igive the Legislature credit for having the courage to make a bold move at this time," said Kim Wilcox, president and chief executive officer for the Board of Regents, which oversees the higher education system.

TOPEKA — A bill authorizing bonds to build three university research centers and improve a fourth won House approval yesterday and went to Gov. Bill Graves.
Research center bonds approved by House
"I think this is one of the shining lights to come out of the session," said House Appropriations Committee Chairman Kenny Wilk, R-Lansing. "There aren't many."
Operation of the new centers would be funded from federal research grants.
The Associated Press
The National Institute for Aviation Research in Wichita would receive the remaining $13 million for improvements, including a crash testing lab and a tunnel for testing the effects of ice on aircraft wings.
Lawmakers had already given up on providing an extra $46 million in aid to universities, community colleges and vocational colleges promised by a 1999 law reorganizing the higher education system.
facilities on biomedicine at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, food safety at Kansas State University and aviation engineering at Wichita State University.
Wilcox and other proponents saw the bill as something the Legislature could do for universities given a projected $768 million budget shortfall for the fiscal year beginning July 1.
would cover the remainder of the debt.
Others said research done at the new centers would help stimulate the economy.
"We're hoping the economy turns around," said Rep. Bob Grant, D-Cherokee. "I hope this one of the points that turns it around."
The measure sent to Graves was negotiated in a House-Senate conference committee that worked out differences between the chambers, including how the state would pay its portion of the bonds.
The negotiators settled on using general tax dollars, as the Senate preferred, rather than lottery profits as the House wanted.

Prison inmates teach dogs obedience skills
dogs at a time are in the program.
NORTON — At first glance, one would not know that behind the steel bars, chain link fence and razor wire of Norton Correctional Facility, more than 200 dogs have been saved from a life of cruelty, homelessness or even euthanasia.
The Second Chance Homeless Pet Society was started in 1997, and on average, 20 men per year teach dogs obedience and social skills so they can be adopted into someone's home. On average, 10
"It is good for the dogs and gives me something to do with my time," said Tom Zimmerman.
Serving a 10-year sentence for aggravated robbery, Zimmerman spends 24 hours a day, seven days a week training Tasha, a three-year-old black Labrador he received in January. Tasha lives in Zimmerman's cell and accompanies him to his job as a clerk in the admitting and dismissal area. The only time she is not with him is when he eats, attends chapel services or during visitation day.
During these times, alternate handlers care for the dogs.
Zimmerman has four years left on his sentence, and Tasha is the ninth dog he has trained.
"It seems like each dog has a different past, and you have to learn what works for it," Zimmerman said.
Although located within the confines of a state prison, Second Chance receives no state funding. It is a non-profit organization that relies totally on donations and fund-raising events. The program's mission is to prevent cruelty to animals while at the same time help find homes for unwanted and neglected dogs. It also provides education to the public on proper pet care and the importance of spaying and neutering all pets.
"A group of ladies in town asked about a program for here, and we gave a presentation to the warden, brought puppies to the Norton Correctional Facility, and it has snowballed from there," said Linda Terrell, an NCF employee and Second Chance board member.

Student captured, charged in mailbox bombing spree
The Associated Press
RENO, Nev. — A 21-year-old college student was charged yesterday in the string of pipe bombs left in mailboxes in five states after he was arrested on a wind-swept highway outside Reno, ending a manhunt that stretched across half the country.
Luke J. Helder of Pine Island, Minn., was captured after dropping at least one gun out his car window, said Alan Davidson, spokesman for the Nevada Highway Patrol. A bomb squad was called to check the vehicle for explosives.
westbound vehicle and tipped off authorities, who pulled him over after a 40-mile chase that reached 100 mph.
"It is him," said Gayle Jacobs, an FBI spokeswoman in Las Vegas.
Helder was stopped more than 1,500 miles from western Illinois, where some of the first bombs were found Friday. A motorist on Interstate 80 spotted Helder's
U. S. Attorney Charles W. Larson said Helder was responsible for the injuries suffered Friday by a woman in Tipton, Iowa.
The capture came just eight hours after the FBI issued an all-points bulletin for Helder and said it wanted to question him about the 18 pipe bombs found since Friday. His father, at the family's home in Minnesota, also pleaded with Helder: "Please don't hurt anyone else ... You have the attention you wanted."
Six people were wounded -
none seriously — by bombs left in mailboxes in Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado and Texas. The Tipton resident, Delores Werling, 70, suffered cuts and sharpel wounds to her hands and face
Most of the bombs were accompanied by the notes warning that more "attention getters" were on the way.
Before the arrest, FBI agent Jim Bogner in Omaha, where the investigation is centered, refused to say how Helder had become part of the case.
But tidbits about Helder began coming in yesterday: Authorities said he apparently made a cellular phone call that was relayed through a southern Utah on Monday afternoon. And a college newspaper in Wisconsin said it gave the FBI a seven-page letter yesterday that was received over the weekend and signed with Helder's name.
Obstruction trial starts for firm
The Associated Press
HOUSTON — Partners at Arthur Andersen "realized the law was coming" when they decided last fall to shred Enron-related documents, a federal prosecutor said yesterday as testimony began in the accounting firm's obstruction of justice trial.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Matt Friedrich told jurors that Andersen had paid a $7 million fine a year earlier to settle allegations of wrongdoing in an unrelated case and that was enough motive to destroy documents and computer files related to Enron's complicated web of financing.
Friedrich cited notes by an Andersen attorney in early October that warned a government investigation of Enron was "highly probable."
pleaded innocent to a single count of obstruction. Its attorneys have insisted Andersen did not authorize the destruction of information related to the government investigation.
The accounting firm has
A conviction could be the final blow to Andersen, which has lost clients, partners and employees in the Enron fallout.
The case also is being watched closely because the government's likely star witness — former Andersen auditor David Duncan, who was in charge of the Enron account — could reveal details on the complicated partnerships that led to Enron's controversial bankruptcy filing in December.
Defense attorney Rusty Hardin said Andersen was simply following a "document retention policy" and should have been shredded needless files for months. At
one point, he held up for jurors a thick stack of papers.
"These are e-mails and documents that reflect differences" between the Chicago headquarters and the Houston audit team over Enron, he said. "If these documents showed internal arguments ... wouldn't you expect those to be destroyed?"
Hardin labeled the government's case a "rush to judgment" to find Andersen officials who, according to the indictment, "corruptly persuaded" others to wipe out documents.
But prosecutors suggested Andersen was still hurting from a $7 million fine paid to settle Securities and Exchange Commission allegations that Andersen had issued false and misleading reports on behalf of Waste Management Inc.

Soldiers search graves for bin Laden
The Associated Press
BAGRAM, Afghanistan — Canadian troops and U.S. Army forensic specialists excavated 23 elaborate graves they said held the bodies of al-Qaida fighters — believed to be Osama bin Laden's bodyguards — who died in the bombing of the Tora Bora region.
The graves, dug into a hill, were decorated with mounds of white pebbles, flags and brightly colored ribbons, said Capt. Philip Nicholson, one of about 400 Canadian soldiers who returned to base yesterday after a four-day mission in eastern Afghanistan.
Hesaid there were no indication that the al-Qaida leader had been in one of the graves. Forensics experts from the U.S. Army's criminal investigation department collected DNA samples from the corpses unearthed at Ali Khyay, about 60 miles southeast of the capital, Kabul, said U.S. military spokesman Maj. Bryan Hilerty.
Canadian battalion commander Lt. Col. Pat Stogran said DNA samples had been taken from two other bodies found on a nearby mountain ridge. He said
the samples would be handed over to American experts.
Osama bin Laden was thought to have been at Tora Bora in December during an intense U.S. bombing campaign that was backed by Afghan ground troops and U.S. special forces. It's not known if bin Laden died there or escaped.
"Certainly there was the possibility that bin Laden was among them, that's why we proceeded with the excavation," said Nicholson.
One prominent grave was initially thought to be that of bin Laden, but visual inspection of the body showed it was not the al-Qaida leader.
"It was hard to identify anybody," Nicholson said, adding the bodies were badly decayed and that many had shrapnel wounds. "Osama bin Laden is approximately 6 foot 5 and we did not find anybody that was 6 foot 5. That being said, we did take DNA samples and they are going back to the United States to be analyzed."
Canadian troops discovered the graves when they went to Ali Khyayle to search caves and
bunkers and villagers told them about the bodies, Stogran said. The villagers said the graves contained the bodies of important al-Oaida members.
"We believe these were bin Laden's lieutenants, his personal bodyguards," Nicholson said.
Stogran said dozens of other al-Qaida fighters had been killed in the valley during last year's bombing but "the ones that we actually exhumed were treated in a special manner by the local people and that led us to believe that these were perhaps more important members of the al-Qaida."
Stogran said the graves were surrounded by electric lights to illuminate them at night.
"The locals told us ... one of them was a very big man and he had received special treatment during his burial," Stogran said.
After the U.S. bombings ended in mid-December, local Taliban officials ordered villagers to give the bodies a proper Islamic burial, Nicholson said. Villagers said the corpses were all Arabs and were buried in a ceremony Dec. 30 attended by 750 to 1,000 people.
Suicide attack kills at least15 Israelis
The Associated Press
RISHON LETZION, Israel — A suicide attack shattered a pool hall in this Israeli city late yesterday, killing more than 15 people and wounding at least 60, police said.
The explosion occurred at 11:03 p.m., as Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was meeting in Washington with President Bush.
A police spokesman told Israel TV at least 15 people were killed in the attack 10 miles south of Tel Aviv.
AlManarTVin Lebanon said it received a claim of responsibility from the Islamic militant group Hamas.
Hamas spokesman Mahmoud
Zahar said from his home in Gaza City that he could not confirm the claim, but "if it is a martyrdom operation, it means that Israel has lost its war against the Palestinians and the Palestinian resistance has proved that it is capable of reaching the enemy everywhere."
Since the current round of Israeli-Palestinian violence erupted in September 2000, there have been nearly 60 suicide bombings.
The last suicide attack came on April 12 when a bomber blew herself up at a bus stop in Jerusalem, killing six people. That attack came with Secretary of State Colin Powell in the region trying to arrange an end to the violence.
David Baker, an official at the
prime minister's office, called yesterday night's explosion "another murderous attack against Israelis."
The blast went off at a three-story building in the heart of the industrial section of Rishon Letzion, a city that is home to some 100,000 people. Part of the ceiling on the top floor collapsed. A sign outside read "Sheffield Club, snooker, cafereria."
Meir Nitzan, the mayor of Rishon Letzion, said more than 60 people had been taken to hospitals.
Yeruham Mandola, a spokesman with the Israeli ambulance service Magen David Adom, said part of the three-story building had collapsed. "Some of the wounded are trapped in the building," he said.

Runner torn by difficult decision
Senior sprinter opts to run in meet, not walk down hill
By Adam Pracht Kansan staff writer
While other seniors will be walking down the campanile hit on their way to graduation on May 19, Jabari Wamble will be crossing a different finish line -
The Oklahoma City senior said that choosing between graduation ceremonies and the Big 12 Conference track meet was not an easy decision. He said that walking down the hill was special, but not everything.
"It's going to be sad, but at the same time, I'll be with my friends and teammates — at the track working hard," he said. "I'll definitely miss it."
Wamble will be running the 400 and 4X400 at the meet in Columbia, Mo.
Faces in the Crowd
Jabari's mother, Wilma Wamble, said that she and Jabari's father, Amos Wamble, were disappointed at first that they wouldn't see Jabari walk down the hill for commencement. She said they went to see it last year to know what to expect.

hill on graduation day, he would still make the short journey in honor of his graduation. He said about 20 graduating seniors on the track team would have an informal ceremony together as soon as they got back from the track meet.
Every face in the crowd and every number in the phone book has a story behind it.

"We looked forward to that and we looked forward to seeing that long processional," Wilma Wamble said.
That time will mark the end of a successful track career for Wamble that included being named an All-American last year.

cially now with his successful years in track.
Wamble said that of all the races he had won, he was proudest of the ones in which he ran the last leg of a relay and took the baton from the last place position to a victory. He said those victories were a metaphor for the way he approached life — for the track team and for his career.
"No one can really choose where they're born and whose parents they were born to or their
economic situation," he said. "But maybe when you can end your life and pass off the baton to someone else better than you received it, then I think that you've done a good job."

Elections to proceed despite death of candidate
The Associated Press
Police were questioning a 32-year-old white Dutchman caught with a pistol minutes after Fortuyn was gunned down Monday in the parking lot of a radio station after giving an interview.
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands Dutch leaders agreed yesterday to go ahead with parliamentary elections next week, as thousands grieved for assassinated antiimmigration candidate Pim Fortuyn.
In Rotterdam, where his upstart party stunned the nation as it swept more than 35 percent of the vote in local elections less than two months ago, thousands of people laid flowers and lit candles outside his home.
Hundreds of supporters of the openly gay politician waited hours to sign a condolence log at City Hall. In the evening, tens of thousands marched silently through the center of Rotterdam to honor Fortuyn.
After meeting with officials
from Fortuyn's party, the government announced general elections will be held as planned on May 15, but the parties agreed not to campaign. Pim Fortuyn's List, the party named for its charismatic founder, said the slain candidate's name would remain at the top of its ballot list.
Fortuyn, an academic and former columnist, was shot at least five times after leaving the radio station in Hilversum, about 12 miles southeast of Amsterdam. Police said the gunman apparently acted alone.
The Dutch media, constrained by the custom that prevents naming criminal suspects, identified him as Volkert van der G., who was married and had one child. News reports said the attacker worked for a group called Environment Offensive. Police said investigators found ammunition at the suspect's home matching shell casing at the crime scene, and environmental literature.

Former Kansas basketball stars display skills in NBA playoffs
Four former Kansas stars are fighting to advance in best-of-seven series, which likely could end with one or more of them in the NBA Finals later this month.
The Dallas Mavericks are tied 1-1 with the Sacramento Kings and the Detroit Pistons hold a 1-0 advantage against the Boston Celtics. All four Kansas players in the conference semifinals took a different route to the NBA, and all four have a legitimate chance of winning the big one this season.
The eldest alumnus, Manning already has a championship ring from his days at Kansas, but after 14 years his Mavericks can give him another. This 35-year-old has been stuck on the sidelines for the entire playoffs because of an injury he sustained during the season. Still, Dallas holds a 58-25 league mark. After Manning bowed out, the Mavericks needed someone to fill the void and keep the team at the top of the league standings. Enter...
Kansas fans have plenty of incentives to tune in to upcoming NBA playoff games.
Danny Manning
Raef LaFrentz
After beginning his career with the hapless Denver Nuggets, LaFrentz was traded mid-season along with teammate Nick Van Exel to the Mavs, and things started to look up.
LaFrentz stuck around for his senior season and became an All-American, but he never earned the NCAA championship title that has eluded most Kansas basketball players. Now his new team desperately needs LaFrentz to improve on his postseason averages of 8.2 points and 5.8 rebounds per game.
Scot Pollard
Unlike former teammate LaFrentz, this Kansas alumnus need not be a huge contributor for his team. The Kings' star-laden roster that includes Chris Webber, Vlade Divac and Mike Bibby is strong enough with Pollard's meager 3 points and 4 rebounds per game. Sacramento is a nice match for this free-spirited California native. He has been known to wear a ponytail and paint his fingernails this season — not a huge surprise to Jayhawk fans.
It's no coincidence that three of the six best NBA teams have former Kansas athletes contributing. The strength and character of the Kansas program has molded these guys into the professionals they now are. And while each one has a legitimate shot at earning an NBA title, the Kings have the experience, talent and determination to make it to the finals. Pollard will be the lone Jayhawk adding a new piece to his jewelry collection at the end of the season.
Arguably the most talented Kansas basketball player ever, this 25-year-old already has established himself as one of the league's best offensive weapons. Pierce is averaging more than 28 points and 8 rebounds in the playoffs. Boston would not have made it to this point in the season without Pierce on its roster. After an all-star season and a multi-million dollar paycheck, I'm sure he's patting himself on the back for leaving school a year early.
Scott is a Haven sophomore in journalism.

thought her career would end in college, not the professional ranks.
Eisenmenger will begin her twoyear stint with the Peace Corps in September. Although she doesn't know yet where she'll go, she is looking forward to it, she said.
After the Peace Corps, she plans on going to medical school.
So after the four-year grind of
pounding out thousands of miles on the track and the roads around Lawrence, she's ready to take a break from running.
"I'd rather spend this summer with friends and family than training," she said. "It's not really going to get me anywhere in the long run. It will just be nice to say I did it."
Distance coach Doug Clark said he hadn't tried to talk Eisenmenger into continuing her training, know-

Baseball team looks to stay hot in game against Rockhurst
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas baseball team plays its final non-conference game at 5 p.m. today at Hoglund Ballpark.
The Jayhawks (21-24) are also on something of a hot streak, winning five of their last seven, and would like to continue that streak in today's game.
"I think we obviously need to get the momentum going before the Oklahoma series," freshman catcher Cole Armstrong said. "It would be good for us."
Its opponent is Rockhurst (35-19), an NCAA Division II powerhouse that has won 13 of its last 17 games.
WEDNESDAY, MAY 8, 2002
Rockhurst is a significantly smaller school than Kansas, but
that doesn't make the Jayhawks' task any easier. Kansas has played five non-Division I teams this year, and despite winning all five games, it trailed at some point in four of the five. Coach Bobby Randall said Division II and NAIA teams have a shot at beating the big schools on any given day.
"Baseball's more of a skilled sport than a physical sport, so you always have that opportunity," Randall said. "There's so many factors in baseball that make it more of an evenly matched game."
Randall said Rockhurst may well be the strongest of the non- Division I teams Kansas will see this season.

Williams begins recruitment
By Brent Wasko Kansan sportswriter
For some people, summer is a time for vacations and relaxing on the beach.
But Kansas men's basketball coach Roy Williams has several long months of recruiting ahead of him, leading up to the early signing period starting Nov. 13.
Kansas has signed Jeff Graves, a 6-foot-9, 260-pound forward from Iowa Western, and Moulaye Niang, a 6-foot-5, 205-pound forward from El Cajon, Calif., for next season. Williams has said he expects Graves to make an immediate impact on the team, but that Niang might need more time to adjust to the intensity of big-time college basketball.
Any other holes on the roster next season will likely be filled by walk-on players.

Lawrence high school senior Stephen Vinson, a 6-foot-3 point guard, has indicated he plans to walk-on at Kansas. Vinson was the Sunflower League player of the year and a second-team all-state pick. He averaged 15.9 points and eight assists per game his senior year.

"Basketball-wise, it was just knowing the coaches are pretty topnotch," Vinson told PrepStars.com. "Also, knowing it's everybody's

dream around here to play there, and it's my dream too."
The Jayhawks have five scholarships available for the 2003 recruiting class, and two of those might already be filled.
Williams is close to wrapping up his recruiting for next season's freshman class, and he has turned his attention to the top prospects for the 2003 season.
Kansas recently received oral commitments from two Oklahoma prep stars Jeremy Case, a junior from McAlester, Okla., and J.R. Giddens, a junior from Yukon, Okla.
Giddens is known for his ability to slash to the bucket and for his athleticism. He is one of Oklahoma's top track athletes, with a personal best high jump of 6-feet, 10-inches.
Case is more known for his shooting ability. He averaged 25.7 points per game his senior season, drilling 54.8 percent of his shots from the field and 44.7 percent from three-point range.
Oral commitments are non-binding, so both Giddens and Case have the option of signing with other schools.
The Jayhawks' coaching staff has several other players in mind for the 2003 freshman class.
Kris Humphries, a 6-foot-9, 225-pound forward, visited Lawrence April 19. TheInsidersHoops.com, a national basketball recruiting network, labeled him a Top 25 prospect. Humphries, who is from Minnetonka, Minn., has been recruited heavily by 10 schools, but according to The St. Paul Pioneer Press, he has narrowed his choices down to Duke and Kansas.
David Padgett, a 6-foot-9, 210-pound power forward, came to Lawrence April 26. Arizona, California, Kentucky, North Carolina, Stanford and Kansas have all expressed interest in the Reno, Nev., native.
Closer to home, Kansas is recruiting Keith Wooden, a 6-foot-8 forward at Lawrence Free State High, and Quinton Day, a 5-foot-11 point guard from Kansas City, Mo.
Wooden is ranked as the 36th best prospect nationally by Prepstars, and Day is ranked as the 57th best prospect. Both attended the Kansas-Kansas State basketball game Feb.27.
Kansas is also setting its sights on Shannon Brown, a 6-foot-3 shooting guard from Maywood, Ill.; Leon Powe, a 6-foot-7

Boston players suspended for Tampa Bay game antics
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Boston pitcher Frank Castillo was suspended for five games for hitting a batter last Sunday, and teammate Trot Nixon was suspended for four for throwing his bat at a Tampa Bay pitcher.
Both also were fined yesterday by Bob Watson, baseball's vice president in charge of discipline, as was Devil Rays pitcher Ryan Rupe. Watson said Rupe intentionally hit Nomar Garciaparra and Shea Hillenbrand with pitches.
The Major League Baseball Players Association appealed, meaning the suspensions cannot start until after a hearing before Bob DuPuy, baseball's chief operating officer.
Rupe hit Nomar Garciaparra with a pitch in the first inning. In the second, Nixon swung and missed at a pitch, losing his grip on his bat, which sailed to the right of the mound. Later, Rupe hit Hillenbrand.
"My bat slipped out of my hands," Nixon said after the game. "They can take it for what it is worth.
"You are throwing strikes to Nomar and hit him in the back, then you throw strikes to Manny (Ramirez) and then you hit Hilly. It is something Rupe has to answer. The umpires did a good job letting us play ball. Tempers can flare. There is a lot of testosterone out there."
Two innings later, Castillo hit Winn in the hip.
Rupe denied intentionally hitting Garciaparra or Hillenbrand.
Pistons coach wins NBA honors as team continues in semifinals
The Associated Press
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Rick Carlisle won the NBA Coach of the Year award yesterday after leading the Detroit Pistons to the Central Division title in his first year with the team.
Carlisle led Detroit to 50 wins — 18 more than last season — and its first division title since 1990. He played in the league for five seasons and was an assistant coach for 11 before getting his first head coaching job this season.
"This isn't an award for me. This is an award for our franchise," Carlisle said. "I'm humbled to win this and be among
this type of basketball royalty, but I couldn't have done it without the players and the staff and their hard work."
The Pistons lead the Boston Celtics 1-0 in their best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinal series. Game 2 is today.
Detroit started 14-6, and then lost 13 of 16 games before bouncing back and finishing the season with a 33-13 run.
Carlisle's honor is the latest for the Pistons. Ben Wallace was the Defensive Player of the Year and a third-team All-NBA choice, while Corliss Williamson was the top sixth man.
the second-team All-Defense team, and Zeljko Rebraca made the second-team All-Rookie team.
Cliff Robinson was voted to
The last Pistons coach to win the award was Ray Scott in the 1973-74 season.
Team president Joe Dumars hired Carlisle to stabilize a situation in which five coaches came and went since Chuck Daly left in 1992.
Carlisle was an assistant under Daly in New Jersey.
"I started watching Rick's team early in the season," Daly said yesterday. "And I saw a lot of good things that kept getting better."
Athletics sign Zito to new contract, one of 11 with long-term team deal
The Associated Press
GAINESVILLE, Fla. Sports agent William "Tank" Black was sentenced to five years in prison yesterday for swindling millions of dollars from NFL players he represented.
Black was convicted by a jury on Jan. 31 of defrauding Jacksonville Jaguars running back Fred Taylor, New York Giants receiver Ike Hilliard, and others.
U. S. District Judge Stephen Mickle ordered Black to serve the new sentence after finishing the 6-year, 10-month sentence he is serving for laundering $1.1
million for a drug ring in Detroit. Black began that jail term in June 2001.
Black's attorney, Jon Uman,
said he plans to appeal.
Black's co-defendant, Linda Wilson, also was sentenced to five years by Mickle for conspiracy to commit wire fraud and defraud the government.
Her sentence is concurrent with a 31/2-year sentence she is serving from the same Detroit case.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jerry Sanford said during trial that Black abused his clients' trust and stole between $12 million and $14 million from them.
NFL players testified that Black used his position as their agent to steal millions from them through bogus investments.
Taylor testified in January that he lost most of his $5 million signing bonus to Black, while Hilliard testified he was biked out of $2.5 million.
Former player Robert Brooks said he lost $2.5 million by investing in a bogus car-title loan company called Cash 4 Titles.
The Securities and Exchange Commission shut down the company in 1999, calling it an illegal pyramid scheme.

REPORT CARD

Coach of the Year, should have a strong crew next year as well. Six of the team's eight players will return, including senior Kim Lorenz, Big 12 co-champion at No. 6 singles, and sophomore Aurele Bejar, Big 12 champion at No. 5 singles.
Soccer-A-
Never winning a postseason game tempers some of the enthusiasm that stems from making the NCAA Tournament for the first time. Kansas' first victory against Missouri in coach Mark Francis' three years at the University and a strong freshman class that includes forwards Monica Brothers and Rachel Gillfillan and keeper Meghan Miller shows a team sharply on the rise, though.
Rowing — B
The rowing team has finished in the Top 25 each year of its existence except for this season, and no one knows why the team isn't doing just as good this year. Coach Rob Catloth has moved rowers from boat to boat trying to find the perfect combination for the teams' first varsity eight-boat, which has floundered when the other boats have floated in first. Whatever its problems, the team still has had an OK season. The team tied for second at the Big 12 Invitational and managed to win the Kansas Cup.
Cross Country — B-
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 3B
While the cross country team has improved in recent years, the team still hasn't reached the level of its cousin, the track and field team. This season, the men finished seventh and the women finished eighth at the Big 12 Championships. However, the men finished first and the women finished second out of eight teams at their only home meet of the season, the Bob Timmons Invitational at Rim Rock Farm. There, senior Brent Behrens finished first in the eight-kilometer race with a time of 26:25.37. Next season, the team will suffer the loss of senior standouts Behrens, Brian Blachly, Charlie Gruber, Katy Eisenmenger and Courtney Deutsch. The team will lie in the hands of Mark Menefee, Chris Jones, Laura Lavoie and Diane Disher.
Volleyball—C+
Finishing seventh in the Big 12 forced the Jayhawks to take on Texas Tech in a play-in game in the conference tournament and dropped them a letter grade. Losing eight seniors won't help next season, but Kansas returns three quarters of its pitching staff — Kristen Milhoan (6-7, 5.05 ERA), Kara Pierce (12-9, 3.21 ERA) and
The Jayhawks went 16-15 overall and just 6-14 in the Big 12, but they did nearly take a game from conference champions and national semifinalists Nebraska. The team will lose setter Molly LaMere only, and although LaMere was an integral part of the team the past four years, coach Ray Bechard should have a solid core of returning players featuring four seniors, three juniors and seven sophomores.
Swimming and Diving — C+
Swimming coach Cathy Burgess' team gave mixed results all season long. The team won seven of its 12 duals during the season, but lost every dual it had with a Big 12 team. The team also couldn't produce at the Big 12 Championships, finishing fifth out of six teams. However, the Jayhawks bounced back, finishing in the top 30 at the NCAA National Championships. Burgess and company will suffer the loss of senior diving standing Rebecca McFall, who finished third at the NCAA Zone meet, but if freshman swimmer Amy Gruber continues to improve, the team should get some great performances out of her.
Serena Settlemier (12-7, 2.42 ERA) — which should give the team a fighting chance in the tough Big 12.
Football-C-
The hiring of Mark Mangino as coach bumps this team up from a D. The Jayhawk finished 3-8, but two of those victories were against Wyoming and Southwest Missouri State. A double-overtime victory against Texas Tech in Lubbock was the team's only worthwhile victory. Wide receiver Harrison Hill will be back for a sixth season this fall, though, and Mangino's trademark intensity should help the Jayhawks win a few more games next year. If nothing else, at least the team will look professional in its new uniforms.
Kansas finished in the top three of its six regular-season tournaments, including a first-place finish at the Stevinson Ranch Invitational in late March, but a 10th place finish in both the last regular-season tourney and the Big 12 tournament sunk the team's grade. Three seniors will be gone next year, but All-Big 12 selection Chris Marshall and juniors Tyler Hall and Andrew Price will still be around to help coach Ross Randall lead the five returning sophomores.
Men's Golf-C.
The team consistently finished in the lower half of almost every tournament all year long, including at the Big 12 tournament in April, where it placed 12th. The team started off well in the fall, placing 14th out of 31 teams at the Bay Tree Classic, and sophomore Jennifer Bawanan won the Sunflower Cup in Manhattan. But the team finished 14th out of 16 teams at the Big 12 Invitational, 16th out of 19 teams at the Women's Collegiate Shoot Out and 10th out of 18 teams at the Jayhawks' home event at Alvaar. In the spring, the team
Women's Golf—D+
started off well with a third place finish out of 15 teams at the Islander Invitational and then slid down the rankings until the teams' last place finish at the Big 12 tournament.
The team is 21-24 before tonight's game against Rockhurst, but is 4-16 in the Big 12. While the team has played well in non-conference contests, going 17-8, the teams it played were mostly doormats, clearly scheduled to pad the team's record. The only real victory the team has gotten out of the non-conference season is the team's 9-1 victory over then No. 8-Wichita State. Also, the team is 6-16 on the road. Ouch. The Jayhawks do have a respectable offense, but the pitching is a weakness that dogs the team at every game. The team will lose its top three pitchers, which makes next season's outlook even gloomier.
Baseball — D+
The team's 5-25, 0-16 record stands for itself, and warrants a failing grade. The team lost its first game, and then won five games against unranked opponents, all but one of which were at home. And then it lost every single Big 12 game. The team also managed to score just 12 points in the first half of its 80-41 loss at Colorado, which is the fewest scored ever in the first half for Kansas, and the second all-time fewest for a half — the record holds from 1988 when the team scored just 10 points in the second half against Mississippi. The class of incoming freshmen are supposed to be very talented. We hope they can help erase the horrors of this year's season.

Athletics director reportedly considered for Clemson job
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Before Mike Alden got the job as athletic director at Missouri, an informal interview came first over a meal with the school's chancellor at a nearby truck stop.
Then athletic director at Southwest Texas State, Alden left his family's farm in Callaway County to tell Richard Wallace during that meeting, "You don't have to worry about me going anyplace else."
That sentiment might not have changed. But reports in Monday's edition of The Kansas City Star, citing an unnamed source, said Alden has been contacted informally about becoming the athletic director at Clemson.
Both Alden and Wallace did not return calls from The Associated Press seeking comment yesterday.
Clemson's athletic department referred all questions to Cathy Sams, a spokeswoman for the university's president. Sams could not be reached for comment.
Maryland athletic director Debbie Yowand John Swofford.
the commissioner of the Atlantic Coast Conference, made the contact on behalf of Clemson, according to the Star.
Maryland spokesman David Heglund said Yow had been asked to nominate three prospects for the Clemson job and Alden was one of her recommendations. But he did not know if Yow had made any overtures beyond the nomination. Swofford did not return calls seeking comment.
Since arriving at Missouri in
July 1998. Alden has presided over a wide-ranging transformation in the university's athletic department, most notably in its men's basketball program. Alden oversaw the departure of Norm Stewart, replaced the legendary coach with Quin Snyder and pushed for and received the state revenue bonds needed to build a new arena to replace the aging Hearnes Center.
He's also brought Gary Pinkel to Columbia, the latest in a series of football coaches to try to change the perennial bad luck of Missouri's moribund football program. He hired coaches for women's gymnastics and volleyball, and fired Jay Miller, the softball coach for 15 years, on Monday.
Reached by The Star, Alden refused to confirm the report he had been contacted about the Clemson job.
Drug possession charge dismissed
AUSTIN — Midland County prosecutors yesterday dismissed a marijuana possession charge against Texas running back Cedric Benson for lack of evidence.
The Associated Press
The Big 12 freshman of the year and a female acquaintance were arrested April 27 at a Midland apartment after police responded to a 911 call about loud music.
Police found a small amount of pot, drug paraphernalia and alcohol inside the apartment.
"We couldn't link Cedric to it," said Midland County Assistant District Attorney Bob Stevens.
"There has been no indication he was aware of it and possessed it. We have to have evidence and it's just simply not there."
Benson's attorneys say the
Brian Carney, Benson's Midland attorney, said the dismissal proves his client's innocence.
drugs and paraphernalia were found in a purse and a closet and that alcohol was in the refrigerator Stevens confirmed that nothing was found on Benson personally.
"None of that was Cedric's." Carney said. "It's simply a case of wrong place, wrong time."
Benson, 19, and Melanie Robinson, 20, were charged with possession of marijuana under 2 ounces, a Class B misdemeanor, which carries up to six months in jail and $2,000 in fines if convicted.
They also were charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and being a minor in possession of alcohol, both Class C misdemeanors. Those charges carry fines up to $500.
The drug paraphernalia and alcohol possession charges were filed in municipal court and their
status was not immediately known. Benson and Robinson pleaded innocent to all the charges.
Stevens said the possession charge against Robinson, who leased the apartment, had not been dismissed.
Texas football coach Mack Brown said he was glad to see the one issue resolved but declined comment on the remaining charges against Benson.
"We have been in constant contact with him and he has been very honest and forthcoming with us," Brown said. "We are glad to see the trust we had in him is holding true."
Attorneys for Benson and Robinson have questioned the police search of the apartment, claiming they broke a window to gain entry when they weren't invited inside. Police did not have a warrant.

1977 Triple Crown winning horse dies
The Associated Press
Seattle Slew always had a sense of timing. Winner of the 1977 Triple Crown and sire of more than 100 stakes winners, the big black stallion died yesterday — 25 years to the day after his victory in the Kentucky Derby.
For the first time since Sir Barton won the Derby, the Preakton and Belmont Stakes in 1919, there is no living Triple Crown winner stabled anywhere in the world.
A big gangly yearling who turned into a muscular colt with "blinding speed and burning determination," Seattle Slew died in his stall at the advanced age of 28. He was buried an hour later, beneath a statue in a courtyard at Hill'n' Dale, a 319-acre farm near Lexington, Kv.
Slew, as he was affectionately known, was the only horse to win the Triple Crown while undefeated and his three-year racing career produced 14 wins in 17 races and earnings of $1,208,726.
"He was the most complete thoroughbred the industry has seen," owner Mickey Taylor said. "He just kept raised the bar with every record he broke."
Bought for a bargain-basement $17,500 by Taylor, a former lumberman from Washington, and former partner Jim Hill, Slew sired 102 stakes winners.
They include 1984 Kentucky Derby winner Swale, A.P. Indy,
Capote and Slew o' Gold, and have earned more than $75 million in purses.
Affirmed, who became the 11th and last Triple Crown winner in 1978, died in January 2001 at 26.
Battling the ravages of arthritis, Slew had two spinal fusion operations the past two years, the most recent in March. He was moved from Three Chimmneys in Midway, Ky., his home for nearly 17 years, to the quieter Hill 'n' Dale on April 1.
Taylor said the change was made because Slew was too close to the breeding shed and it caused him to become agitated when mares arrived.
In his final months, the stallion was a bit wobbly because of the second operation. The first one, the owner said, "saved his life."
As word spread of Slew's death, floral arrangements began arriving at Hill 'n' Dale, with cards reading: "For Slew" and "For the Taylers."
"When he arrived on the farm, it was like seeing the Grand Canyon in person after just seeing it in pictures — very awe-inspiring," Hill 'n' Dale owner John Sikura said. "He came here in a state of older age and had just gone through major surgery, but you could still see a brightness in his eye and that vigor that let you know that he was different from other horses."
Taylor and his wife, Karen, were constantly with Slew the past two years, moving from their Montana home to Lexington to be with him after the first operation.
"He had the greatest heart. He was a fighter to the end," Karen Taylor said.
Last month, she seemed to sense the end was near for Slew, but had a hard time talking about it. She stood only a few yards away from his huge stall and spoke softly:
"We'll just take things day to day with him, and help along the best we can," she said, tears swelling in her eyes. "If the time comes, we'll just do what we need to do. We'll need to go on."
On Saturday, Derby day at Churchill Downs, Karen Taylor and Jean Cruuget, Slew's jockey, presented a trophy after the first race — the Seattle Slew Tribute.
In an interview last week with The Associated Press, Slew's trainer Billy Turner called the colt one of the toughest to hit the race track.
"I knew I had a horse who was different from the rest," Turner said. "I knew when you see a horse go that fast with no effort, that's different. He was a good student with tremendous energy and phenomenal ability. All I had to do was control it ... He had blinding speed and burning determination. My job was to get
"He was the most complete thoroughbred the industry has seen."

him to accept competition and other horses."
Slew's retirement in 1978 at age 4 seemed premature, but as a stallion his earning power was easily into the tens of millions of dollars. The Taylors made a fortune breeding Slew, earning fees well over $100,000 per mare.
After Slew's first operation, he was pulled from the breeding line, but he was back in business last year, with 43 of 46 mares in foal. His last breeding session was Feb. 23.
Mickey Taylor described Slew's walk recently, saying: "He looks like a crab, a bad crab," when his front legs go one way and his hind legs another.
But Slew sure could run in his hevday.
He won his first six races and had never trailed heading to the Derby on May 7, 1977. When the Derby began, Slew smacked the gate and slammed into a horse next to him.
Ridden by Cruguet, Slew regained his stride, and by the time the field hit the first turn, he was on his way to a 13/4-length victory.
Agent sentenced to five years for swindling money from players
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Sports agent William "Tank" Black was sentenced to five years in prison yesterday for swindling millions of dollars from NFL players he represented.
The Associated Press
Black was convicted by a jury on Jan. 31 of defrauding Jacksonville Jaguars running back Fred Taylor, New York Giants receiver Ike Hilliard, and others.
U. S. District Judge Stephen
Mickle ordered Black to serve the new sentence after finishing the 6-year, 10-month sentence he is serving for laundering $1.1 million for a drug ring in Detroit. Black began that jail term in June 2001.
Black's attorney, Jon Uman,
said he plans to appeal.
Black's co-defendant, Linda Wilson, also was sentenced to five years by Mickle for conspiracy to commit wire fraud and defrauding the government.
Her sentence is concurrent with a 31/2-year sentence she is serving from the same Detroit case.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jerry Sanford said during trial that Black abused his clients' trust and stole between $12 million and $14 million from them.
Taylor testified in January that
NFL players testified that Black used his position as their agent to steal millions from them through bogus investments.
he lost most of his $5 million signing bonus to Black, while Hilliard testified he was bilked out of $2.5 million.
Former player Robert Brooks said he lost $2.5 million by investing in a bogus car-title loan company called Cash 4 Titles.
The Securities and Exchange Commission shut down the company in 1999, calling it an illegal pyramid scheme.

New York film festival opens
"We talked about doing it for years, but we never made a plan to do it. There was always, 'That's a good idea, let's think about it tomorrow,'" Rosenthal said. "It wasn't until after Sept. 11, when our neighborhood was so devastated, that we felt we wanted to do something to help our community heal, and to give our community something to look forward to."
The Associated Press
And Kevin Spacey, Barry Levinson and Meryl Streep are among the jurors judging films in competition, all of which are from first-time filmmakers.
NEW YORK — When Robert De Niro and his business partner, Jane Rosenthal, tossed around the idea years ago of staging a film festival, they envisioned something small and urban.
Then came Sept. 11, and with it an urgent desire to help revitalize lower Manhattan.
The result: the inaugural Tribeca Film Festival, running Wednesday through Sunday with some 100 screenings, including the premiere of the new Star Wars movie.
And there's a lot to look forward to. For a first-time film festival, Tribeca has drawn some big movies and big stars.
Martin Scorsese is showing a series of restored classics as well as a selection of his favorite New York films, including Manhattan and On the Waterfront.
Star Wars: Episode II —
Attack of the Clones screens on Sunday, four days before its nationwide release, as a fundraiser for underprivileged kids and children affected by the terrorist attacks.
The opening night film is the premiere of About a Boy, starring Hugh Grant and Toni Collette. Also on the schedule are premieres of Insomnia, with Al Pacino and Hilary Swank, and Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, starring Ashley Judd and Sandra Bullock.
A rock and comedy concert is planned for Friday night featuring Sheryl Crow, the Counting Crows, Robin Williams and Jimmy Fallon.
in Manhattan's Washington Heights neighborhood, with unknown, local actors, the movie follows two brothers trying to escape a family cycle of drugs and violence.
Besides encouraging new filmmakers, the festival aims primarily to boost the economy of TriBeCa, the slice of downtown named for the Triangle Below Canal. An estimated 100,000 of the 370,000 jobs downtown are gone, and 11,000 businesses have closed or moved.
De Niro, who founded his Tribeca Productions film company there with Rosenthal in 1988, said he hoped "that a lot of people go, that it's successful, that it becomes a part of the New York cultural scene downtown."
But some merchants' hopes aren't so high.
"How is the festival going to help us?" asked Triolean Gil, owner of a souvenir and electronics store on Greenwich Street just a few blocks from where the World Trade Center stood. "Tourists don't spend money. They take pictures and go away."

ing that she had so many other goals.
"She's doing such a great job." Clark said. "I wish I had a whole team like her."
Eisenmenger qualified for the NCAA meet last Friday in the Cardinal Invitational at Stanford, crushing the school record in the 1,500 meters by more than five seconds, finishing in 4 minutes, 17.19 seconds.
She added the record to the ones she claimed indoors for the mile and distance medley relay, and the All-American award she won in the former.
For a runner whose previous best time was 4:25, the move to becoming one of the fastest runners in the U.S. was a shock.
"I expected to drop my time somewhat, obviously, and was hoping for a provisional time," Eisenmengersiad. "But it's nice to get the automatic," she said with a chuckle that emphasized her understatement.
Clark said he also was surprised with her time but suspected from earlier performances that she was ready for a breakthrough.
"I knew from her finish at

Katy Eisenmenger, Fairmont, MN, senior, checks her watch to keep on pace during track practice in Memorial Stadium Tuesday. "The thing I love most about running is the friendships I've formed here because we have fun and always keep each other motivated," said Eisenmenger.
Drake that she was ready," he said. "It doesn't take a genius, but to see it happen was a thrill."
WEDNESDAY,MAY 8,2002
Eisenmenger said one thing she had learned from running at this level was that athletics and school weren't the only things important in her life, but that she didn't know what she would have been like without running.
Knowing too that this would be her last season has helped her focus on each race individually.
"I went into it with kind of a different attitude," she said of her race at Stanford. "It was just like a all-or-nothing type of thing, like finally, I belonged in that group of people."
Now that her career is almost over, Eisenmenger may not miss the morning workouts or the endless sessions of interval runs on the track, but she will miss being with the other members of the team.
"I don't know how I'll replace that," she said. "Such strong friendships are formed, especially in college where you spend so much time together. It's irreplaceable."
"I can hang with just about anybody there," she said. "During indoors, I think I was still a little bit in awe of some of the big names."
Eisenmenger said a repeat of the conference indoor meet, where she finished third after letting the leaders get a big lead early that she couldn't overcome, wouldn't happen again outdoors.
When Clark began scribbling down the names of all the top 1,500 runners Eisenmenger would face at the Big 12 meet seven, including her teammate, sophomore Laura Lavoie, have at least NCAA provisional times he could barely contain his excitement at what a great race it will be.
But when asked if he would miss coaching the runner who had improved over 30 seconds in the 1,500 in the two years he's spent with her, Clark hesitated and seemed moved by the thought.
How can you not miss coaching her?" he asked.

team," he said. "They always hit the ball very well. They recruit the Kansas City-area and get a lot of players out of there."
Kansas, winner of five of its last seven, will start freshman Chris Jones on the mound. Jones (4-1, 5.10 ERA) earned his latest victory on Saturday against Centenary. He is unbeaten as a starter this season, and Randall hopes it stays that way.
"We need this Rockhurst game," Randall said, "to keep the momentum going."
Kansas leads the all-time series against Rockhurst 18-5. Rockhurst, though, has won the last five, including a 9-3 victory in Lawrence in 2000.
Notes
The Jayhawks close out the season with three games against Oklahoma starting Friday, and three games against Kansas State starting May 18.
"We still have an outside shot of doing something in the conference," Randall said. "We need to win out."

Gardner attended the same high school as current Jayhawk freshman Aaron Miles and Michael Lee. Williams has traveled to Oregon twice to see Gardner play. PrepWestHoops ranks him as the second best shooting guard on the West Coast.

Mysterious explosions rocked a central Kansas town, leaving officials asking why flames engulfed the town of 40,000. The answer hid underground. STORY BY SARAH HILL
Lawrence
Hutchinson
KANSAS
An explosion on the morning of January 17, 2001 made headlines across the country.
Fire Chief Gary Frazier was in a staff meeting at about 10:45 that morning.
"We heard an explosion," he said. "We had a large column of smoke in the downtown area and glass blown out from the windows."
Flames engulfed the buildings that housed a party shop and a furniture store. The roof of one building blew onto a neighboring building.
Frazier said the fire looked like a gas fire when firefighters arrived at the scene.
"In a gas fire, the flame looks different," Frazier said. "The fire had a bluish tint."
Firefighters turned off the gas main that supplied the building. But the fire did not stop.
"We started with basic firefighting, but we were having trouble putting the fire out," Frazier said. "After we shut the gas off, we still had a gas fed-fire."

KUID problem delays decision on meal plan
By Caroline Boyer Kansan staff writer
With the end of spring semester drawing near, it remains unclear whether students will be able to use their student housing meal plans elsewhere on campus next fall.
The department of student housing's proposed Flex plan would put $20 on KUIDs for students to buy food at Mrs. E's Express, the Kansas and Burge Unions and Wescos Terrace. Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said a final decision about the plan
would not be made until after the end of the semester.
The extra $20 has already been included in meal plan contracts for next fall, and the contracts have already been signed, but the question of whether it can be used remains.
Student housing eating facilities cannot read the chip. Nancy Miles, director of the KU Card Center, said that the Unions would not be able to get readers that can read the stripe by next fall.
Jay Glatz, director of food services for the Kansas Union, said in early April that the only things holding the plan back were issues about how to put the money on the KUID. He said that although these issues were still unresolved, the department should still get the plan organized by the start of fall semester.
Stoner said there had been some miscommunication between the many
organizations dealing with the issue, and it has been part of what has kept the program from being approved.
"You go to 20 meetings with University officials, and some people say 'Well, it's still up in the air,' and some could be real optimistic and upbeat about it." Stoner said.
Glatz falls into the optimistic camp.
"I agree with Dr. Stoner, there are still some things that need to be worked out," He said. "They'll get to that point, because that's what the students want."

Students vow to challenge ordinance in courts
By Lauren Beatty
Kansan staff writer
When the inspector comes knocking on his door, Aaron Kirby said he would refuse to let him in.
The Los Angeles senior lives alone in a house in East Lawrence. His residence is of one of hundreds of rental units in the neighborhood classified as a single-family home.
But because of a city ordinance that went into effect Feb.1, his property still must be inspected to make sure it meets housing and safety standards. Kirby is a member of the Citizens Rights Committee, a group made up of Lawrence residents who oppose the ordinance. They plan to challenge the ordinance in court.
Kirby said there had never been a complaint against him, and he had never violated any city housing codes. The inspection is set for June, but Kirby said he had the constitutional right to stop the inspector from doing his job.
"It seems like a gross violation of the Fourth Amendment," Kirby said referring to the Constitutional right against unreasonable search and seizure.
Kirby joined the Citizens Rights Committee to try to change ordinance 7326. Kirby is the only University of Kansas student renter who is a member of the committee.
"No one else wants to get involved and put out the effort," he said. "There is apathy in the city and a lot of people are unaware of the ordinance."
If the city doesn't change the ordinance, the committee and its lawyer, Chris Miller, plan to sue the city.
Members of the city commission and City Manager Mike Wildgen have said they fully supported the ordinance and so did the community. They said they would not reconsider the ordinance.
Mayor Sue Hack said the attorney general also backed the ordinance.
Miller said he was surprised at the city's response.
"I thought the city would be more interested in reconsidering the ordinance," he said. "We're talking about taxpayer dollars expended in fighting a lawsuit we think we can win. We think we have an excellent shot at getting this scheme proved invalid."
Kirby said if the group decided to sue, he would back the groun until the end.
"We seem to be pretty united," he said. "It's not an issue of money. We want to reverse this statute. We think it's wrong."
Barry Walthall, code enforcement manager, said there had been about 650 to 700 inspections since the ordinance went into effect. He said the program had run smoothly, with only a few refusals.
"If they refuse to let us in, we will get an administrative warrant and find some other means of getting entry," he said.

Future, current educators face newly weakened job market
By Erin Adamson Senior staff writer
Education budget cuts and a shifting student population mean many new teachers, including University of Kansas education majors, may not find work in their school districts of choice.
The state's three largest districts, Lawrence, Wichita and Shawnee Mission, have cut teaching positions because of anticipated state budget cuts. In Lawrence alone, 65 educators have lost their jobs. Teachers who lost their jobs will be competing with spring graduates for teaching positions.
Kendra Haskell, Liberal senior and elementary education major, does have a job waiting for her after graduation.
"I feel really fortunate, and it really is a blessing that I have a job" said Haskell, who student teaches, or interns, at Cordley Elementary School, 1837 Vermont St.
Haskell found a job teaching kindergarten at Indian Hills Elementary, a growing school in West Topeka. But most of her fellow fifth-year interns haven't had the same success.
"At my school there's six interns, and last year at this time they all had jobs," Haskell said.
Mike Neal, assistant dean of education administration, said teachers graduating from the University weren't the only ones facing a challenge.
This year, she said none had jobs.
"Essentially, what's happening in
Kansas is happening across the country." he said.
Nationwide, state legislators are cutting education budgets, forcing some school districts to fire teachers.
So far, many students who have completed their fifth year don't have jobs, Neal said. He said many Kansas districts were waiting to hire teachers until the state legislature approved a budget in May.
Fifth-year education majors completed six weeks of student teaching in the fall and 14 weeks of an internship this spring. Forty-eight students finished internships in elementary schools this spring and 40 students finished internships in secondary math, science.

More charges filed against bomb suspect
The Associated Press
RENO, Nev. — After a five-day spate of pipe bombings that had rural Americans nervously eyeing their mailboxes, the suspect's own father and an alert motorist led to the arrest of a 21-year-old college student who majored in art and sang in a punk band called Anpathy.
Luke J. Helder, of Pine Island, Minn., was arrested Tuesday after a high-speed
chase along a desert highway and a cell phone conversation with an FBI negotiator and his parents.
Authorities put out an alert for Helder after his father called police late Monday about a letter from his son that contained reference to the bombings, Menomonie, Wis., Police Chief Dennis Beety said yesterday.
The capture came eight hours after the FBI issued an allpoints bulletin for Helder and
said it wanted to question him about the 18 pipe bombs found since Friday.
Six people — four letter carriers and two residents — were injured by bombs left in mailboxes in Illinois and Iowa. Twelve other bombs found in Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado and Texas did not explode. Most of the bombs were accompanied by anti-government propaganda warning that more "attention getters" were on the way.
rederal prosecutors in Iowa charged Helder with using an explosive to maliciously destroy property affecting interstate commerce and with using a destructive device to commit a crime of violence. The charges carry penalties of up to life in prison and fines of $250,000. In addition, he was booked on a federal firearms charge.
Federal charges were filed yesterday in Illinois and in Nebraska.
Parking lot hours to change starting next August
The University of Kansas in August will change the restricted times in the blue portion of parking lot 41, south of Learned Hall. The lot currently is restricted from 7 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Next semester the lot will be restricted from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
"Dean Locke proposed that we open half the lot," Johnson said. "We took the proposal to the parking department and they proposed that the entire lot be open."
Kyle Johnson, Wichita sophomore, took photographs of the lot on five random nights to show Carl Locke, dean of engineering, that few spaces were being used by faculty after 5 p.m.
The proposal to open every space after 5 p.m. was vetoed by Provost David Shulenburger, Johnson said.
Then, Johnson passed a petition around to engineering faculty members that would open all but 10 blue spaces after 5 p.m. He said 40 instructors signed the petition.
Johnson said he took the petition back to Shulenburger, who approved it.
In August, Johnson plans on asking faculty to sign petitions to open lots 18,21,35 and 37 after 5 p.m.

City faces different inspection laws
Other counties have contracts with state department
By Meredith Carr Kansan staff writer
the heavy door slowly opens.
A wave of cool air brushes past leaving goose bumps, and there it is.
A container of raw beef sets on a shelf over fully cooked ham and turkey in the walk-in cooler — dripping. There are live flies in the kitchen, and some dead are mixed in with already prepared food. Further inspection finds the blade guard on a meat slicer contains dry food around the edges. A waitress is noticed handling dirty dishes and then the clean dishes without washing her hands.
Although a hypothetical situation, it's a health inspector's worst nightmare.
In Kansas, most counties are contracted with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment for inspectors, but Douglas County is not a contracted county. Other state inspectors do the restaurant checks for the Lawrence area. But not all restaurants get inspected annually.
Most Lawrence restaurants haven't had severe violations. Mike Heideman, director of public information for KDHE, said the most common risk factor citations were employees not washing their hands and bare-hand contact with food.
Heidman said after a post audit by the state, counties that were contracted with KDHE were being inspected more often than the counties that were not

contracted.
"That doesn't necessarily mean that is why a certain percentage of restaurants in Lawrence haven't been inspected on the annual basis." Heideman said.
The six risk factors include food source and condition, whether the food is being adequately cooked, proper climate of the food, whether there is cross contamination or if the equipment is contaminated, whether the establishment practices poor personal hygiene and whether
there are any environmental risk factors.
Rusty Schumm, owner of Buffalo Bob's Smokehouse, 719 Massachusetts St., said the restaurant was inspected annually. The restaurant had been cited earlier this year for "improper storage of meat, and the blade guard on the meat slicer contained food debris."
"They're just doing their job and the guidelines are fair," Schumm said.
Heideman said people shouldn't be afraid from restaurant inspection violations.
"People are under the impression that because establishments have had risk factor citations they shouldn't eat or buy food from

Investigation of student's murder moves slowly
Kansan staff writer
Bv Rachel Keeseee
The investigation into the death of Shannon Martin, a university of Kansas student who was murdered last year in Golfito, Costa Rica, is going slowly.
Jeanette Stauffer, Martin's mother, met with Costa Rican officials to mark the progress of the investigation while she was in Costa Rica from April 26 to May 3.
She said one of her main goals was to be certain a witness would speak up about Martin's death.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 3A
Martin, Topeka senior, was stabbed to death in Golfito, in May 2001. She was walking from the Jurassic Bar to her host family's house when she was attacked. Martin was working to complete biology research that she had started there the year before while in a KU study abroad program.
The Organization of Judicial
Investigation (OJI), a Costa Rican organization similar to the FBI, arrested one suspect, Katia Cruz, who has refused to talk, in November 2001.
"They have circumstantial evidence, but not enough to prosecute," Stauffer said. "There are people that know."
But those people are afraid to come forward, she said, because they might be killed.
"Drugs are rampant over there," Stauffer said. "There are people that know, but they also do drugs."
She said she concluded from her visit that people using cocaine killed her daughter with no apparent motive.
Stauffer said she would not stop working toward getting someone to step up to testify. One step she, her husband, Brad Stauffer, and her lawyer, Pedro Irigonegaray, took was handing out 750 fliers about the $50,000 reward posted for information
about Martin's death.
"We're going to hand out more in a lot of other areas in Costa Rica." Stauffer said.
She said she was unsure of when she would return.
Stauffer said she hoped the reward would be a powerful incentive to get someone to speak.
"It's not over," she said.
Stauffer's daughter Sheri Martin, Topeka graduate student, said the legal system was different in Costa Rica.
"People don't understand that drugs are much more powerful than the police there," Martin said.
Martin said she said she thought many things with the investigation went wrong.
"I'm really glad my mom's doing this," Martin said. "I don't think many people would have done what she's done. This is the only way she can take care of my sister. It's the best thing to do, I
Martin said she was concerned about other KU students who studied in Golfito.
"I just don't understand the mind frame of parents who let their children, the students, go there," she said. "It's not worth it to take the risk."
think."
Diana Carlin, dean of graduate school and international programs, said the Office of Study Abroad had added more safety procedures to the Costa Rica student orientation program.
"We had good safety procedures in place," Carlin said. "One thing we're saying now is that this did happen. It adds strength to us warning them to take precautions, because this can happen anywhere in the world."

OPINION
THURSDAY,MAY9,2002
EDITORIAL Shelter needs help to stay open in summer
Summer in Kansas will probably remain miserably hot and humid, with temperatures often reaching the 90s during July and August.
But, summer is especially miserable for the homeless men and women in Lawrence, who currently have no shelter available to them between April and October. The Salvation Army is trying to change that, though, by raising enough money to keep its homeless shelter open during the summer.
Having a year-round Salvation Army shelter is a viable goal, and one that can be achieved easily through student support. Students should take a more active role in the Lawrence community by donating their time and money to this worthy cause.
The Salvation Army's homeless shelter, now only open from October to April, could stay open during the summer if officials are able to raise $60,000 for operating costs. On Tuesday, Salvation Army officials said that they were close to that amount, but donations were still needed.
As KU students, we spend about eight months here living in Lawrence or in the surrounding area. We are not only part of the University community, but make up an important segment of the Lawrence community as well.
After finals next week, many of us will leave KU and the Lawrence community for summer break. But we need to realize that the city of Lawrence still exists during June, July and August, and organizations such as the Salvation Army need our continuing support.
The University Daily Kansan's May 1 front-page feature about Robert Gilmore, the homeless man who lived behind the Dole Center until he was committed to a state mental hospital last month, helped raise student awareness of homeless people living in Lawrence. We can help provide a significant service to our community by supporting the Salvation Army's efforts to keep the shelter open during the summer.

I just want to say I am a long-time reader, first-time caller, and the Free for All is the bomb diggity.
By the way, I love conforming with my sorority. Lighten up, people.
The Judge says, "Court is adjourned on the Free for All."
I'm just going to say that after five years and 130 credit hours at KU my greatest sense of pride and accomplishment is being in the Free for All. Now, I'll leave it to you decide if that's cool or terribly, terribly bad.
I was just calling to say that I saw this commercial on TV that said problems were easier if you share them with friends, even if they're problems like painful, burning, feminine itch, and then it shows this woman sitting around with her friends at a slumber party eating ice cream, and I was just thinking if had painful, burning, feminine itch I would not want to sit around with my friends and talk and eat ice cream unless I put the ice cream down there to get rid of the painful, burning, feminine itch.
To those of you at Oliver who think that you party harder than McCollum, you should just come up here and find out. Peace.
To the KU parking employee who had to call in the cops so he could feel more mcha behind Marvin today, I hope you lose your job. And to the poor guy getting the ticket, I'm sorry, man. That nuvy was a jerk.
All right, third time's the charm, so Carrot Top should change his name to Crackhead.
The Anniversary is the crappiest band I've ever seen, next to the Get Up Kids.
I teach here at KU, and I deserved more input on whether tuition rises, why and when.
Thanks Kursten and Brooke, You guys are great — the Free for All guy.
Finally I was mentioned in the Free for All. This is so exciting.
Even though they bashed my letter to the editor, and talked crap about me, it's still great.
This goes out to the girl who I went to the sorority party with and grabbed my package and asked me whether it was my gun. Stop, you suck.
My roommate's been running the sink for three weeks and I woke up this morning and the shower was going, too.

Amber Jones. This KU marine is representing for tough women everywhere in her attempt to complete training this summer that no other female has completed. We wish her the best of luck.
Hannah's House. The home that helps pregnant teenagers may have to close if it can't make ends meet. Students and community members should pitch in to help save it.
The end of the semester. In about a week, we can all sell back those books we don't want and toss out those notes we never wanted to take. Enjoy your summers everyone, because you'll be back to the grindstone before you know it.
Fail:
- Supersized students. News flash: beer, fast food and pizza tends to pack on the pounds. Maybe it's time we all cut back a bit.
- College kids who put bombs in mailboxes. As if students didn't already have a slightly tarnished rep in the world, now we've got some guy trying to blow up peoples mailboxes to get attention. Lovely.
Flex Plan gridlock. Department of Student Housing officials seem to be dragging their feet on an initiative that would give housing residents more options for their meal plans. In the tradition of all great bureaucracies, it seems they'll never actually make a decision.
PERSPECTIVE
As semester comes to an end, questions, concerns still remain
It's the end of the semester and I'm still filled with questions. For my last column, I thought I would ask the readers for some guidance and then step down off my columnist soapbox. It's kind of like a personal "Free for All" stream of consciousness.
Why do some people feel the need to touch my hair and then not-so-discreetly smear their hands on their jeans to get the hair oil off? I don't go around petting other people's hair, so don't be mad if you get some essence of Alexzia on your hand for your curiosity.
Why didn't Lawrence or KU have an
■ Why do some people take me seriously now that I got haircut and some trendy glasses? Someone asked me how long I've been "natural," like I joined some underground revolution.
Why do most of my teachers usually know my name by the end of the first week of class? Is it my sparkling personality? What if I haven't said a word? Could it be something else?
Why do some people refer to Africa as though it's a country and not a continent with many countries and assume everyone from there knows each other?
Why is it that if I find something offensive but someone else doesn't, I can't have a valid point? Why is something offensive only if the mainstream thinks so, otherwise it's just hypersensitivity? Why do some people disregard perspectives they don't understand?
COMMENTARY
Why is it you can't openly bash anyone but Christians?

organized recognition of Cinco de Mayo?
Why are diversity and multiculturalism considered dirty words in some circles?
When is the patriotic flag-waving fever going to end?
■ When can we resume openly questioning our president and government without the label of being un-American?
- Why do some parents lie to their children and tell them America is a meritocracy and that everyone has an equal shot at the American dream? Why do I keep running into people who believe this and look at me crazy because my parents told me the truth?
■ Why do some people routinely take Martin Luther King Jr.'s words out of context to prove a point? Why do they quote "the content of their character" part of the "I Have a Dream" speech as though that was the only thing he ever said? Why do we use historical figures to suit our own needs?
time I enter a room? If the tables were turned, wouldn't you do the same? Even if you wouldn't, don't tell me how to cope with my situation.
■ Why have I been told that I'm prejudiced because I count the number of minorities every
■ When will the quest for colorblindness end? The only way things will improve is if we embrace our differences and then find similarities. When you disregard difference, you assume everyone is just like you and follows your ideas of normalcy.
Why is the Midwest the nicest and scariest place at the same time? I love how polite and friendly people are but it's scary how people can smile in your face and still be prejudiced.
Why, when someone brings up ethnicity, is it called "playing the race card?" Why does the mainstream have this knack for trivializing minority concerns? "The race card" makes it sound like some "draw four" UNO card that every minority has in his hand to mess up the system. When we reduce American society to a game with words like "level playing field," we undermine the seriousness of the situation.
Why do some people think BET gives an accurate window into the African-American experience? Watching a few videos, a comedy show and paid infomercials is not the secret decoder ring that unlocks black culture.
I hope I've made some people think.
PERSPECTIVE
When you leave KU,leave it a better place
My time at KU has come to an end. As student body president, you learn a few things about yourself, the student
few things about yourself, the student body and the University of Kansas. Looking back over my years here, I thought I would bestow a few parting thoughts and some of my wisdom for present and future students.
Support each other. During Hawk Week, I gave a speech at Traditions Night. I challenged students to raise our graduation rates. One way that we can accomplish this is by doing our part to help others succeed.
GUEST COMMENTARY
From personal experience, I know it is easy to focus on ourselves and what we need to do. But think about what would happen if every student on this campus took a vested interest in helping each other. I believe we would see a major change in the character of this campus.

Justin Mills
opinion@kansan.com
The issue of minority recruitment and retention is a perfect example of this. Having a more
diverse campus is a benefit to all students. Yet most of us do not step outside our comfort zones to help each other.
We must look past the artificial boundaries of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation and religious beliefs to create real change on campus. I have spent a considerable amount of time working on this issue. It will take a concerted change in how we view our relationships to others to see substantial change in campus climate.
And while I applaud those who are promoting the Multicultural Resource Center, I know that it will take much more than a building to keep minority students on this campus. It will take all students working together.
Stand up for your rights. At some point, our generation forgot that it is our right and duty to fight for what we think is right. In this day and age we are told that we cannot affect change at the grassroots level.
As we come to the end of another year, I hope that my words will motivate other students to make a difference at KU. Remember, the world of tomorrow is shaped by the actions today. To make our world a better place for our children, and for that matter, our children's children, we must act now and place action over apathy.

The fires would rage into the night. Meanwhile, geysers of natural gas and salt water were spewing out of the ground throughout the city.
It would take several weeks to figure out why the central Kansas town of 40,000 blew up.
The explosions sparked scientific and legal investigations that are still ongoing.
Back in Lawrence, geologists at the University of Kansas-based Kansas Geological Survey followed reports about the explosions throughout the day.
Lee Allison, state geologist and director of the Kansas Geological Survey, said the scientists assumed the fires were caused by a gas pipe leak, but they became more convinced there was a different problem when they learned about the geysers around the city. After reports of the geysers came in, the Kansas Geological Survey staff knew it was more than just a leak downtown.
The destruction was not over. The next day, a mobile home in the Big Chief Mobile Home Park in east Hutchinson exploded. Its two residents were killed.
Hutchinson public safety officials still did not know where the gas was coming from.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environmentand the Kansas Gas Service worked to vent the gas from beneath the earth's surface but had problems locating the underground gas pockets.
Weeks later, the Kansas Geological Survey team prepared to leave for Arizona to work on a project for the U.S. Army.
The survey's trucks were loaded with equipment, and crews from all over the country had flown to Arizona, ready to begin the project.
"We were ready to leave the next morning," Allison said.
Those plans were to change abruptly.
KDHE realized it needed the equipment and personnel bound for Arizona in Hutchinson to help identify the underground pathways the gas followed.
The governor issued a declaration that night, which dispatched the Arizona-bound scientists to Hutchinson.
search in the area to find the source of the problems.
"It was like calling out the National Guard," Allison said. "He directed us to go to Hutchinson to the aid of the residents."
They now think they know what caused the Hutchinson explosions. But science and the law move slowly. The official story may take years to work its way through the courts, but the scientists have put together three clues they found in the strange and unique geology under Hutchinson.
Allison; Lynn Watney, petroleum research scientist; Allyson Anderson, graduate student in geology, and other scientists and technicians at the agency began a
These clues offer the most complete explanation offered so faras to why the city burned.
CLUE 1: DOLOMITE
Before investigators could find the source of the gas, their first priority was to vent the gas still under the city.
Kansas Geological Survey crews used a special truck with built-in earth-shaking equipment — called a thumper truck — to send mini-earthquake-like shock waves into the ground. The KU scientists then used specialized microphones to create underground images similar to fetal sonograms to detect where large amounts of gas still sat beneath the surface.
Watney said that they found that the gas had traveled through a zone of dolomite, a limestone-like rock, that ran below the surface of the city.
The layer of dolomite was only about 10feet thick in most places and hard to detect.
"The properties of the rock were subtle in this case," he said.
Watney said the crews also discovered cracks in the dolomite, fractured by pressures in the earth that helped the gas flow through the layer.
The question of where the gas came from still remained.
From early on, city and state officials and KU geologists thought they knew. CLUE2: LEAKY WELL
Natural gas storage
The jugs of the Yaggy field, like this one, store natural gas in a layer of salt beneath the Earth's surface.

Almost eight miles northwest of downtown Hutchinson, a grassy field next to Kansas Highway 96, near the site of an old railroad stop once called Yaggy.
The tall, white pipes protruding from the earth are the only features that set the Yaggy field apart from other fields in central Kansas.
components of a gas well. It is supposed to create a solid, impermeable zone from which gas cannot escape.
Geologic engineer Joe Ratigan studied the S-1 well in great detail.
Ratigan said that Consolidated Gas, the original owner of the field, had plugged the casings of the wells with cement when it stopped using the site to store propane. Silver Tip Services, the company that bought the Yaggy field from Consolidated, unplugged the well in 1993.
The steel casing that runs from above ground down into the salt jug is one of the most crucial
One well in particular — called the "S-1" well — in the southwest corner of the field, had a casing problem.
The Vaggy field has a history as one of the central points on the natural gas hub in central Kansas. Built in the late 1970s to store propane, the 70 gas wells store gas in "jugs," caverns hollowed out of salt layers beneath the Earth's surface.
When Silver Tip Services opened it up, a metal object buried in the plug deflected its drill bit. The drill bit created a hole in the well's casing. Ritagan said.
Frazier said field engineers had watched the pressure drop on the morning of January 17, 2001 in the S-1 well. But the Yaggy field is seven miles from downtown.
CLUE 3: BRINE WELLS
"There was a question if the gas could travel the eight miles into Hutchinson," Allison said. "It's possible if the right conditions exist."
Watney said the geologists knew the salt layer under Hutchinson was riddled with empty caverns called brine wells.
The Decor Wedding and Party Supplies store right after the explosion.
The salt layer that runs beneath the area has long been a source of income for large corporations and small family operations. In the late 1800s, residents of the area would drill wells of their own that reached down into the salt layer.
Unlike the large-scale operations of Carey Salt and Cargill, which mine salt in the gill, these small brine wells were often capped and forgotten — and never documented.
Fresh water would then circulate through the well and back up to the surface carrying salt water, or brine. Residents would sell the brine to tanneries or use it to cure meat during the days before refrigeration.
Watney estimated there were as many as 150 undocumented wells beneath Hutchinson. At least two of the abandoned brine wells were directly under buildings downtown and below the Big Chief Mobile Home Park in the eastern part of the city. Anderson said the heating and cooling systems of the destroyed structures were located above the abandoned wells. The pilot lights from the systems ignited the free-flowing gas.
THE SOLUTION
KANSAS' SALT INDUSTRY
Independently, the three components — the dolomite layer, the leaking S-1 well and the abandoned brine wells — might not have meant much. Together they led to disaster.
f cracks form in the salt layer, the salt will heal itself. "There is no better way to store gas," she said. Natney said the Department of Energy looked at the area in the 1980s as a potential area to store high-level nuclear waste, but decided the potential risk to Hutchinson was unacceptable. Allison said the vast majority of liquid natural gas was stored in rock, but it was easier and less expensive to store natural gas in salt.
Central Kansas is one of the top suppliers of natural gas for the state and the region.
Allyson Anderson, geology graduate student who is working on her dissertation in Hutchinson, said salt was geologically ideal for storing this natural gas.
Salt acts as a plastic medium,
Anderson said. If pressure increases at one place in the salt layer, the salt will actually flow and move to accommodate the pressure. Because of this behavior,
The dolomite layer, fractured by years of geologic pressures, provided a pathway that led directly beneath Hutchinson. A gas well, damaged years before, appeared to have leaked an undetermined amount of gas into the dolomite zone.
The dolomite itself is not permeable, but the cracks allowed the gas to flow through the layer.
The final piece of the puzzle was the abandoned brine wells. The wells ran through the dolomite layer and gave the gas an easy path to the surface in

places no one expected.
KU scientists still monitor the area and work on ways to make the city safe.
Anderson continues tests in Hutchinson using sunlight to measure the reflectivity of soils that may be rich with salt, indicating the presence of buried brine wells.
Although the geologists are comfortable with their findings, not everyone agrees.
"If there are natural leaks, there's really nothing we can do," she said. "But if we can find wells and cap them, we can make sure it will never happen again."
If her tests are positive, she will seek funding to mount specialized sensors on airplanes to look for areas that could still be leaking brine.
More work will have to be done before all of the brine wells in the city are discovered and properly capped. Many of the abandoned wells were cut off at the surface and improperly plugged with a bit of cement in the top of the casing instead of filling the casing with cement.
After the explosions, residents filed lawsuits against Kansas Gas Service. The lawsuits included a possible class-action suit from the residents of Reno county. The family of the couple who died in the Big Chief Mobile Home Park also filed suit.
"We're hanging in the balance until the funding comes through," she said.
Anderson said she was optimistic about her research, and the possibility of finding the aban-
Kansas Gas Service spokesman Steve Johnson would not elaborate on what he thought caused the explosion. He said there was no proof the gas came from the Yaggy field.
"We are not using it now in any way, shape or form," he said.
"It hasn't been proven yet that the gas that escaped from the S-1 well went to Hutch directly," he said. "It's just one theory."
To prevent any further problems, Johnson said Kansas Gas Service closed the Yaggy facility.
The company will wait for new regulations from KDHE before it considers reopening the storage site.
Kansas Gas Service still monitors the downtown area and school buildings for traces of gas. It increased its efforts after the explosions.
"We are making sure the city of Hutchinson is safe, and have been since day one," Johnson said.
A Kansas Geological Survey scientist agreed with a proposal to the KDHE to approve a pressure increase in the Yaggy field for Western Resources in 1997.
Johnson said Kansas Gas Service took control of the field from Western Resources the same year.
The jugs at Yaggy were subsequently pressurized to approximately 600 pounds per square inch, an increase of .13 pounds per square inch above the original specifications.
Ratigan said the salt caverns were pressured to store the most gas possible. "You increase pressure; you increase the storage."
Recently, the Department of Energy announced plans to study gas storage. KU scientists plan to submit a technical proposal to further study Hutchinson and develop a nationwide program to improve gas storage safety.
Allison and Watney continue to travel throughout the country to talk about what they learned in Hutchinson. Watney said he expected the courts use the Kansas Geological Survey's data, if not the geologists themselves, as evidence in the various lawsuits.
"I think we're obligated to provide that information," he said.
"There are new regulations for gas storage," Watney said. The new regulations could help prevent another accident like Hutchinson.
Ratigan and the geologists are also involved in forming new state regulations for storage facilities to ensure a higher level of safety.

KU graduate starts early excels in political world
John Audlehelm
Kansan senior staff writer
Ten years after he left the University of Kansas, Derek Schmidt's first campaign for public office landed him in the Kansas Senate.
In his first legislative session in 2001, the Independence senator was named chairman of the powerful Agriculture Committee. He is the second-youngest member of this Senate and the only first-year senator chairing a standing committee.
Schmidt's friends and supporters see his election as a logical step in his career, which many think could lead him to the Kansas governor's office or the halls of Congress in Washington, D.C.
After spending a year at Independence Community College, Schmidt enrolled at the University as a business major in Fall 1987. That winter in Schmidt's residence hall, he said, "Some bozo kept pulling the fire alarm."
Incensed, Schmidt wrote a column for The University Daily Kansan. "That was the beginning of my journalism career," he said.
As a Kansan reporter, Schmidt covered the Legislature. He worked his way through the ranks, and in Fall 1990, Schmidt became editor of the Kansan.
At the beginning of the semester, Tom Eblen, the Kansan's general manager at the time, had a stroke. Eblen said that as a result, Schmidt had to pick up many extra responsibilities.
"Derek rose to the challenge," Eblen said.
The Kansas Associated Collegiate Press named him Kansas Collegiate Journalist of the Year.
After his graduation, Schmidt continued his education and worked in politics — often simultaneously. He studied history at Cambridge University and international politics at the University of Leicester, both in England. While there, he traveled through Europe, Russia and Egypt. Schmidt worked for former Kansas Senator Nancy Kassebaum in 1991, and from 1992 to 1996. While working full-time for Kassebaum, Schmidt also earned his law degree from the Georgetown University Law Center.
Success in state politics has required Schmidt to take care of his rural constituency, a town of approximately 40,000 located in southeastern Kansas. While cynics call this trading favors, he calls it "problem solving."
Much of his work in the Senate has been spent on lower profile issues. Rep. Dan Johnson heads the Agriculture Committee in the Kansas House of Representatives. He said he and Schmidt had worked together on bills that dealt with foot-and-mouth disease, weights and measures and ethanol.
Schmidt created the "bison bill" after he was approached by a well-known citizen in Independence.
Bill Kurtis, host of the A&Etelevision show Investigative Reports, planned to open a buffalo ranch to show his bison herd. To make the park feasible, Kurtis needed it to be exempted from the liability law that would otherwise require him to pay damages if a visitor crossed the fence and was injured by one of his bison.
Before the legislative process was completed, Schmidt's bill wound up protecting owners of tourist parks that show ostriches, rhea (a bird), camels and giraffes.
If we have to protect the giraffes to protect the bison, then so be it, Schmidt said.
Schmidt has also been willing to occasionally break with the party when he feels strongly about an issue.
In April, he voted in favor a $60
million tax increase because he thought it was important the money be available for education. The Senate later defeated that tax 23-17.
Burdett Loomis, professor of political science, said the vote placed Schmidt, who represents Independence, which is a conservative district, on the side of the moderate Republicans.
Bryan
While working in Washington, Schmidt met his future wife among a group of native Kansans working on Capitol Hill. Jennifer Schmidt worked for Republican Senators Bob Dole of Kansas and Chuck Grassley of Iowa. She is now chief of staff for Kent Glasscock, Speaker of the House for the Kansas House of Representatives.
State Senator Derek Schmidt, center, and Gov. Bill Graves, right, visit with Independence residents Ace and Marilyn Johnson at a fundraiser at Schmidt's home last October. Schmidt is in his first term and was appointed chairman of the Agriculture Committee.
Both Schmidt s had shown an early interest in politics. In 1985, Schmidt, who grew up in Independence, went to Boys State, a weeklong politics camp for high school students.
"When we first got there, he said, 'I'm not that excited. I'm not sure if I'm going to do anything,'" Baden said.
Rick Baden, now president of Pitt Plastics in Pittsburg, attended Boys State with Schmidt.
By the end of the week, running on an agriculture platform, Schmidt was elected Boys State governor.
Jennifer Schmidt, who went to Shawnee Mission Northwest High School in Lenexa, participated in a mock Congress her sophomore year and got to play Kassebaum. One of Kassebaum's staff members told Jennifer that when she got to college she should think about an internship in Washington. Jennifer did, and took a job in Dole's office her senior year at Texas Christian University. She worked for Dole and then came back to the University to get her law degree.
She and Derek met in 1991,
started dating in 1996, and were married in Mav 1998.
"It wasn't, 'Do I want to marry this guy?' It was, 'Can I live without him?' she said. "I'm unapologetically his biggest fan. He's the smartest person I've ever met."
Derek and Jennifer both liked working in Washington but felt the tug of home.
They moved back to Kansas in 1998. After he returned, Derek began working as an assistant attorney general of Kansas under Gov. Bill Graves.
About this time, both Rep. Cindy Empson and Senate Majority Leader Tim Emert were thinking about leaving public office. Because both had known Schmidt since he was a child, they both thought that he was the best candidate to take over their respective seats.
"Tim got lucky and got him to run for his," Empson said.
Emert said he approached Schmidt about running when Schmidt was still working in Topeka. Schmidt said he would like to settle in Independence, so Emert gave him space in his law firm. Emert said.
After talking with Jennifer,
Emert said, Derek agreed to take the position.
In May 2000, the Schmata moved back to Independence. Derek joined Scovel, Emert, Heasty and Chubb, and remains there in general practice.
When Emert announced he would not run again, Schmidt filed as a candidate. He won the GOP primary in August 2000 and was elected to represent the 15th District in November 2000.
Baden said it had been just a matter of time before he ran for office.
Because the 15th district has five daily newspapers, three cable stations and many radio stations. Schmidt and his supporters had to run a door-to-door campaign.
Confer said Schmidt inherited many of the loyal campaign workers that helped elect Emert. But Schmidt has inspired loyalty beyond this core group. Russell Soloway, a Democrat and assistant U.S. attorney in Del Rio, Texas, was Schmidt's roommate in Washington. Soloway helped pass out fliers and knock on doors in Schmidt's campaign.
So far, Independence seems to
be responding. When supporters were planning an October fundraiser and barbecue, Jennifer Schmidt said, they thought that maybe 75 or 100 people would show.
More than 300 came. Graves, who was scheduled to stay for about 15 minutes, stayed for more than an hour.
Whether or not Schmidt moves on to higher office, he stays rooted in Independence. The couple are fixing up a Victorian home across from that of Derek's mother, Barbara. They also maintain a home in Topeka. Derek says that unlike most legislative couples, they get to spend more time together when the Legislature is in session.
As for Derek's future, the Schmids are taking one thing at a time, but don't plan to rule out any options.
"Everybody in Independence loves the guy. This is just the tip of the iceberg, I think, of what he's going to achieve," high-school friend Baden said.

At year's end items can be donated
As Lawrence resident Lenezie Hamm looked around the Oread Neighborhood during move-out time last year, she was shocked at the "trash" people left behind.
It wasn't piles of garbage that concerned her. In the neighborhood between the University of Kansas campus and downtown, Hamm said she noticed usable items, such as lamps, computers and clothing, being tossed instead of being disposed of properly.
"This is a really big problem," she said. "I would drive through Lawrence, not just the Oread Neighborhood, and see really decent stuff being thrown away."
By Lauren Beatty
Kansan staff writer
Hamm said she wanted to tell students and others moving in Lawrence during the summer to recycle their usable household goods. She wrote an article in the Oread Neighborhood Newsletter and offered these suggestions:
Donate the items to a thrift store.
Advertise used furniture in the Lawrence Journal-World or Trading Post.
Sell the items by having a yard sale.
Offer the items to friends or family.
Victoria Silva, director of KU Recycling, said she had noticed the same problem when students moved out of residence halls. She began an effort to collect students' household goods and donate them to non-profit organizations.
"We'll take towels, bedding, dishes, clothing, anything working, like appliances," she said. "Don'tdump broken items or dirty, torn clothes or open bags of food."
Silva said she began the donation project three years ago to help alleviate the massive amount of items thrift shops received during mid-May.
Silva said larger items, like couches or cinder blocks, should still be picked up by thrift stores that have trucks to transport the bulk items.
Andrea Rome, Holcomb freshman, said she would move out of Corbin next week. She said she was taking most of the bigger items home with her, but if there was something she didn't want to keep she would donate it to a thrift store.
Reed Peterson, manager of the Salvation Army Thrift Store, 1818 Massachusetts St., said he saw an increase in donated goods during May.
"Students bring in clothes more than anything," he said. "They can know that they're going to a good cause."

Telemarketers could pay if 'no call' bill is passed
Holmes said the legislation was unique because previous lists had been voluntary for the companies, while this would be mandatory.
By Adam Pracht
Kansan staff writer
After telemarketing companies receive the lists, they would then have to eliminate the names and numbers from those they call.
Students harassed by telemarketers could soon have the state on their side.
Rep. Carl Holmes (R-Liberal) and chairman of the House of Representatives utilities committee, is supporting a bill that would create a "no-call" list of people who do not want to receive calls for telemarketers.
Holmes said this would likely not be the final version of the bill, but he was confident that they would pass some sort of similar law this year.
After one allowed error in
Holmes said people who didn't want to receive telemarketing calls would be able to send in a free form to be placed on a nocall list. Filling out the form on the Internet would cost $5.
"I'm tired of telemarketers," he said. "They're very intrusive. I personally don't like telemarketers, and I've had quite a few number of constituents approach me about getting good no-call legislation passed."
calling someone on the list, telemarketing companies could be fined up to $10,000.
However, Holmes said there were still loopholes.
For example, any business that a customer had done business with in the last three years
could legally solicit over the phone.
He also said the process took a while to complete. A national company hired by the state must compile the list, send it out to telemarketers and allow them time to process the names and numbers.

Holmes said a request to be put on the no-call list on June 2 could take as long as Dec.1 to be processed.
Aaron Kirby, Los Angeles senior, said he would probably take advantage of the program.
"Essentially they take advantage of your good nature and patience and they utilize that for their own personal gain," he said.

Summer storage filling up
By Melissa Shuman Kansan staff writer
Jenn White doesn't mind traveling 500 miles to go home for the summer, but she doesn't want to take her entire residence hall room with her.
So the Dallas freshman decided to rent a storage space to house her refrigerator, microwave and winter clothes. Storage spaces are an option for students who don't want to take all their belongings with them when they move back home. Lawrence has about 10 self-storage companies listed in the phone book.
"There's no way I can get all that stuff on a plane," she said. "I won't even need it over the summer."
White and Kate Schmidt,
Seattle freshman, are renting a
5-foot-by-5 foot space from
Public Storage. 2223 Haskell
Ave., during the summer. They
both lived in residence halls
this year, so they don't have to
worry about large furniture.

Many self-storage companies are running out of space for the summer. Public Storage's 450 spaces were completely full as of May 1, and it had 30 people on a waiting list. Plaza Storage, 2300 W. 31stSt., Parkway Storage, 4921 Wakarua Court and Erl's Econo Self-Storage, 412 N. Iowa St., said they were already full or would be by the time finals were finished.
Schmidt and White said they got the space early to take advantage of spring storage space specials. They will pay $66 per person to share the cost of the space for the four months because of a special offer through the company.

Kinky cucumbers, sinful cinnamon
A study conducted last year by Alan Hirsch, a neurologist and psychiatrist at the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago, found certain foods often act as aphrodisiacs by enhancing sexual desires with their smells.
By Summer Lewis Kansan staff writer
Cinnamon rolls and banana bread could increase your partner's sexual desire.
The study found the smells of cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, lavender, pumpkin pie, black licorice, cheese pizza and buttered popcorn got men in the mood for sex.
But Dennis Dailey, professor of human sexuality, said he did not think aphrodisiacs had an effect on people.
"If you are dealing with guilt, shame or other negative things about your sexuality, then all of that is going to effect your erotism." Dailey said.
"People often focus on needling aphrodisiacs instead of other things that are important in a relationship," Dailey said. "The sexual problem that you are looking to solve is usually within yourself."
He said people's minds acted as the strongest aphrodisiacs to influence a person's mood.
For women, the smells of Good & Plenty, cucumbers and banana bread turned them on.
Mary Westfall, Blue Springs,
Mo., freshman, said she didn't
think people depended on aphrodisiacs to alter their moods — unless booze
counted.
"Students seem to use alcohol as an aphrodisiac to increase sexual desires more than food or burning candles," she said.

Libraries seek specialist to aid research
By Mike Gilligan Kansan staff writer
As Powerpoint Presentations and other graphics-based tools become more popular on this ever-changing campus, the KU Libraries are hiring to help keep students ahead of the curve.
KU Libraries are conducting a hiring search for a GIS/data services specialist to help students who need visual data. GIS stands for graphic information systems, and is a branch of Data Services, a

Rholes said different fields of study could benefit, such as geology, geography and the social sciences.
"Lately we are seeing more engineering,political science and economics students using the service,"she said.
Rasche said social science students wanting to map ethnicity in Kansas City, for example, could find help from GIS.
George McCleary, associate professor in geography, said GIS was helpful for his students.
"They can go into the library and say, 'I need a map for this,' and get it," he said.

Dandruff different from dry scalp
By Summer Lewis Kansan staff writer
Looking down at your shoulders in the middle of class and finding a bed of white flakes can be embarrassing.
Dandruff is the result of a condition that causes the scalp to shed skin cells excessively. It also can be accompanied by itching and redness.
Ali Old, hair stylist at Hair Experts Design Team, said dandruff looked different than what most people thought. Hair stylists are trained to recognize dandruff, she said.
"Dandruff is not when your scalp is dry and flaky," Old said. "That can be from any form of dry scalp. Dandruff looks like real wet chunks, and it smells bad. A person's hair will be really greasy."
The medical Web site rxinsider.com says the cause of dandruff is unknown, or at least not agreed upon by doctors. Causes may include sensitivity to or overgrowth of a fungus present on the scalp, as well as overactive or clogged oil glands.
Old said people needed to understand the difference between dry scalp and dan-
duff to seek the correct treatment.
"There are shampoos on the market that help, but it should be treated by a professional, so that is what we usually recommend."
Scott Super, a stylist at Beauty Brands who said he saw about one dandruff case per week, said it was possible to clear dandruff with over-the-counter products.
"The factors that lead to dandruff include a really oily scalp, not shampooing as often as necessary and just not taking care of your scalp," Super said. "If a person has an oily scalp, they
should shampoo every day, because they have a higher risk of getting dandruff."
He said that to get to the root of the problem, a person should start with daily use of a regular shampoo.
"Shampooing will rinse away the excess oils and dandruff flakes." Super said.
Next, try using an over-the-counter dandruff shampoo, he said. If the problem persists, a doctor can prescribe a stronger dandruff shampoo.

FLEX
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Lindy Eakin, associate provost, said that when the department proposed the plan to the University, it only associated the Flex plan with a capability to get extra food at Mrs. E's Express on the second floor of Hashinger Hall.
He said he was aware that the long-term plan was to make meal plan money usable on campus, but the department wasn't even close to that.
"Housing is not being totally upfront with what's going on." Eakin said.
He said the department wanted a separate account for the extra $20 of the Flex plan, but that would require
another reader program to read the ID number when the card was swiped. The stripe on the card could not be used with a debit account, Eakin said.
If the plan does not go through, then there is a question of what to do with the $20 that students with meal plans are contracted to pay. Eakin said that it would have to either be refunded or put on the card's chip.
He said the only possibility currently for making meal plan money usable both on campus and in the dining halls was to put it on the chip. This would also allow students to spend all money at the Union, which has a separate dining system.
"Housing's big fear is students will say 'Well, screw this, I'm going to go to the Union.' Eakin said.
Despite the problems with the Flex plan, he said the University was working toward expanding services offered on the KUID, including meal plans.
"The goal is to come up with a single way to make it most convenient to do all money transactions," Eakin said. "This is one university and we need something universal."

EDUCATION
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
English and social studies. The School of Education said these numbers reflected the approximate number of students entering the job market.
Meanwhile, some growing inner city and suburban, as well as rural, districts are struggling to attract enough teachers. The teaching job market is experiencing shifts in demand as some aging districts experience a loss of population and other districts face rapidly growing student populations.
Flora Wyatt, assistant professor of teaching and leadership, said jobs were available for teachers willing to pick up and move. She said some Kansas school districts were desperate for teachers — the Kansas City, Kan., public school district among them.
"They have such a teacher shortage
that students that want jobs can find them there," she said.
But some teachers aren't willing to pick up and move.
Amber Heiserman, Lawrence senior in elementary education, hasn't found a job yet, but said she wasn't willing to teach in Kansas City. She said holding an internship in that school district taught her that she didn't want to work in an urban school.
Heiserman said she was frustrated by the job search. She has applied for jobs in eight area districts, but said she would finish her master's in curriculum and instruction if she couldn't find a job.
Heiserman said she was told education was a secure field when she started at the University.
"We were told it's probably the best market we could be in," Heiserman said. "We thought it would be a piece of cake."
Times have changed. A few years
ago, some seniors were offered teaching contracts as early as December. In this year's budget climate schools must err on the safe side and not hire teachers until they are sure they have enough money.
Neal said Kansas districts were required to lay off teachers by April 10. Otherwise, they must pay them a year's salary even if they don't work.
Susan Gay, associate professor of teaching and leadership, helps place secondary-school math teachers and said only five of the 18 graduating students she supervised had found teaching positions.
"I think there is a lot more uncertainty this year than there was in the past," she said. "I'm not worried about them finding jobs, but they are."

'Star Wars' might struggle to top 'Spider-Man'
By Jessica Tims Kansan staff writer
The summer movie season got off to a swinging start with the debut of Spider-Man on Friday, but the upcoming Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones may give it a run for its money.
Spider-Man, based on the Marvel comic book, shattered the total weekend-grossing box office record with about $115 million in ticket sales, according to the Associated Press. It is the first movie ever to make more than $100 million in three days.
Spider-Man broke the record set just six months ago by Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by nearly $7.9 million. On Saturday, Spider-Man broke its own record by $2.28 million. It became the top single-day grossing movie in box office history on Friday with $43.7 million in tickets sold
But 20th Century Fox is hoping the debut of Attack of the Clones on May 16 will top the records set by Spider-Man.
Mark Ross, Winfield junior and Star Wars fan, said he expected ticket sales to be lower because Episode1: The Phantom Menace was below par for some fans of the epic series.
The numbers.com Web site projects Star Wars will have a substantially less successful opening weekend than Spider-Man because the film is opening in 10 percent fewer theaters.
"I doubt it will be as big of a smash," he said. "That is largely in part to the reputation of the evil, evil Iar Jar Binks."
Ross said Jar Jar was a character that director and writer George Lucas created to make the series appealing to moviegoers of a younger age.
"Jar Jar ruined it for all of those not under the age of 8." he said.
John Ratzlaff, general manager at South Wind 12 Theaters, 3433 Iowa St., said although some fans were dissatisfied with the last Star Wars episode, the diehairs would still show up in masses.
"I think people who are faithfuls will come out despite the last movie," he said. "I don't think that they will let that keep them from coming out on the first day."
Ratzlaff said although the debut of Episode II would not be as big as the debut of Episode I, the movie still would be a blockbuster. He said South Wind had yet to find out how many copies of the film it would receive and whether it would offer a 12:01 a.m. showing of the movie the day of its release.
Ross said despite the letdown of the last *Star Wars* movie, if a 12:01 a.m. showing of *Episode II* was offered, he and his friends would try to be the first to see it.
"I think I will camp out for an early morning spot," he said. "For the midnight showing, we will probably get there about 10 or 11 a.m."

Student business breaks religious chains
By Lindsay Hanson and Stuart McFadyen Special to the Kansan
Becky Frye keeps her parents in the dark about the essence of her home-run business, Metallic Maiden Designs.
CONTRIBUTED ART
They know the Kansas City,Mo., senior, uses her metalsmithing talent to make fine jewelry. Frye has shown her parents the rings with pretty stones and the intricate necklaces. But, she said, they suspect she makes something more — and their suspicions are correct.
Becky Frye, Kansas City, Mo., senior, creates lingerie out of metal and chain mail, similar to her piece above.
Frye keeps her more risqué pieces — whips, aluminum corsets and floggers — a secret from her family. Her parents are devout Jehovah's Witnesses, and Frye knows they would never bless her business venture because it conflicts with their religious beliefs. Regardless of whether her parents approve, she said she planned to pursue her business after graduation.
The more risqué pieces account for 90 percent of her profit. She estimated she made more than $700 per month with those pieces. By charging up to $200 for her complex work, she pays for college without the need of financial aid from her parents.
Frye constructs her custommade products from aluminum wire and sheeting. She hand-coils the wire into small rings and links them together creating a chain mail, mesh layer. With these, she produces anything from skirts and vests to whips and bikinis. Frye uses the sheeting to make corsets.
"I love my parents." Frye said. "But if it came to choosing between being happy by making my own living, and the support of my parents, I'd choose happiness."
during her senior year of high school. As a jewelry and metal-smithing major, she consolidates class requirements and customer demand by choosing projects that make teachers and clients happy. She spends a minimum of eight hours per day filling orders. Frye said she had worked as many as 72-hours straight when orders piled up.
Frye started selling jewelry
"I don't really sleep much." Frye said. "I'm the sort of person who if I have something to get done, I'm never late. I'll get it done."
A trip home for Thanksgiving last year confirmed Frye's fears about her parents' disapproval. Byaccident,her mother stumbled upon a chain mail flogger in her bag.
"Mom was absolutely livid," she said. "They freaked and pretty much said I wasn't welcome anymore."
Frye made amends with her parents, but she had to lie for penance — she told her parents she would never make a flogger again.
Metallic Maiden Designs is not Frye's only source of income. Her parents are also unaware of her fetish troupe, Contra Naturam — Latin for "the unnatural" — which performed May 2 at the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St. Under her stage name, "Sterling," Frye and five other members demonstrate various fetishes, from bondage, dominance and flagging, to the more obscure art of sploshing — playing around in food. She said the troupe had recently added shibari, the art of rope binding, to its show.
Frye said her parents would "pass out" if they discovered her involvement with Contra Naturam. Frye's biography on Contra Naturam's Web site identifies "parents" as one of life's displeasures.
She said people often associated fetishes with abuse, but those practiced fetishes applied three rules: safety, sanity and consensus. Frye said breaking one rule made the act wrong.
"I'm an exhibitionist, but an exhibitionist with reservations," she said. "There are certain limits I don't cross, and some of these have to do with my religious upbringing."
Although Frye initially conformed to her parents' strict religious beliefs, she chose against being baptized during middle school. At that time, she only was allowed to associate with other children of Jehovah's Witnesses. She said she struggled to decide whether she shared her parents' faith.
"It's hard to think it isn't true when it's what you've known all your life," she said.
Frye's parents still encourage her to be baptized even though she has not attended a church service in about a year. She said, however, she practiced spirituality instead of religion.
"Some of my beliefs overlap with my parents", Frye said. "The only issue I have is when they try to push it on me."
Alan Finney, who attends The Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in Lawrence, said practices the Bible decreed immoral or perverse were not in agreement with God.
"God's Word doesn't say you can't make whips, but it gives you principles," he said.
Finney referred to First Corinthians 10:31 in the Bible's New Testament. "If you are eating, drinking or doing anything else, do all things for God's glory," he said. "How would God be glorified in that type of work?"
Finney said because Frye hid the true nature of her business from her parents, they had already helped her to determine
between right and wrong. He said, however, her parents needed to help her come to scriptural understanding — the worship of God comes first.
Finney said, as a parent, he would not want his daughter to think that pursuing business ventures such as Frye's was the only way to pay for college. He said he would rather she got a scholarship or a loan. Jehovah's Witnesses feel strongly about businesses providing for and supporting the community, Finney said.
"We try our best to live a good life," he said. "We wouldn't want to bring any kind of shame on God's name."
Regardless of religious conflicts, Frye plans to expand Metallic Maiden Designs with the creation of a Web site. Frye said the opportunity for clients to place orders online was a daunting one.
"It scares me because of the whole concept of 'what if I can't keep up with my orders?'" she said. "I'm a one-woman business." Frye said he had hired
people in the past to coil chain mail but would continue be the business' sole designer.
In the beginning, Frye relied on word-of-mouth to promote her business. Now she also travels to Renaissance festivals and conventions around the country to sell her work.
Frye said the new house she would move into this summer would allow her space to set up a work shop. After Frye graduates in December with a degree in design, she will dedicate all of her time to her business, she said.
"It's a huge benefit because I know what I want to do and exactly where to go," she said. "A lot of students don't have that."
In the meantime, Frye said she wanted to keep her plans under wraps from her parents. She admitted, however, the day when she would have to reveal all to her parents loomed darkly on the horizon.

Fate of Replay's patio may be in the hands of neighbors
By Richard Gintowt Special to the Kansan
The Replay Lounge beer garden is open eight months a year, accounting for 40 percent of sales. These days, it does business in the shadow of development.
In a former city parking lot next door, a four-story commercial and apartment building now towers above the Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St.
"We had no idea the city would ever put lofts on our public parking lot," said Replay owner Nick Carroll. "Until now, there was no one to bother. If the city shuts our patio down, we're done."
The building, part of the Downtown 2000 project, is almost completed and has four apartment windows that look straight down on the Replay's beer garden.
Carroll has good reason to be concerned. A clause in the Replay's site plan says that the bar
can be forced to remove the patio garden if the city receives "legitimate complaints" from neighbors.
Last January, Carroll and his lawyer went before the city commission to request the removal of the clause from the Replay's site plan. The city commission declined, leaving Carroll anxious about the future of his business.
Carroll has co-owned the Replay since 1994, the last time he remembers a noise complaint.
"It would be impossible to identify which crowd of people came from which establishment," said Bob Summ, owner of the neighboring Massachusetts Street Delicatessen, 941 Massachusetts St. "Crowds come from everywhere, all day long, seven nights of the week."
Hundreds of people from downtown bars spill into the streets between midnight and 2 a.m. The Replay's main concern is that it does not get the blame for disturbances it is not responsible for.
City Commissioner Mike Rundle voted to deny Carroll's request last January, but said he felt sympathetic to the Replay's situation.
"I was leaning towards relaxing the code, but it would be inconsistent to relieve one bar of their responsibility," Rundle said. "I think we gave the Replay some assurance that we do value the importance of live music to the character of the downtown. Even though we didn't let Nick out of his requirement, we let the apartment owners know that this was a high-activity area."
Martin Moore, a member of the 9-10 LC group responsible for the Downtown 2000 project, developed the apartments with high activity in mind. He could have made twice as much money by selling commercial space, but set aside the top two floors for apartment dwellers at the city's request. To mitigate possible noise disturbances, the units were designed with kitchen—not bedroom — windows looking out on the patio. Still, Martin is exercising caution.
"We're going to remind tenants in their leases that they're not living in the suburbs," he said. "We don't want anyone to have the expectation that there won't be any noise."
Even though Martin would prefer to develop commercial space, he acknowledges that residential space benefits the downtown area.
"It's important to have people living and eating in the downtown," he said. "Compare Lawrence to Topeka, where the downtown shuts down at night, and I think you'll find that's true."
John Nalbandian, professor of public administration, served on the City Commission in 1996 when Downtown 2000 began. He said the Replay Lounge never came up.
"This is a multi-million dollar project that goes far beyond the impact it would have on one property," he said. "In the scheme of the whole downtown, the Replay Lounge is totally insignificant."
But to the 25 employees of the Replay Lounge, it's anything but insignificant. Aaron Strelow has been a bartender there for three years. Regulars know him as the guy with the white T-shirt and the handkerchief tucked in his back pocket.
"Some people move out to the country and find it's too quiet," he said. "I know how noisy it gets around here. Love the situation or leave it."
In the meantime, Strelow and Carroll said the Replay would conduct business as usual, saying they had done all they could to prevent a conflict before it happens.
"We're expecting everything will be all right, but we're just trying to be prepared," Carroll said.

Man dies in West Virginia flood death toll reaches 9 in past week
The Associated Press
Edward Jordan, 81, was killed Tuesday when a vehicle driven by his 68-year-old wife, Velma, hydroplaned after hitting water pouring off a hillside in Webster County, said State Police Senior Trooper J.C. Powers.
National Guard machinery tore into piles of sodden furniture and other belongings now heading to emergency landfills. Up to 700 guardsmen have been activated for the cleanup.
WELCH, W.Va. — Thunderstorms that moved into central West Virginia killed at least one person and created the potential for more misery in a region trying to recover from last week's deadly floods.
Also Tuesday, a woman and her toddler were killed in Nicholas County when their vehicle ran off the road. Officials could not say if that accident was related to severe weather.
Nine people have died in West Virginia since 5 inches of rain fell on the region within a six-hour period last week. Four others were missing.
Velma Jordan was being treated at a hospital.
"We have several counties reporting minor flooding, roads
The National Weather Service predicted another round of heavy showers for yesterday, with a flood watch extended for 24 counties.
Gov. Bob Wise and federal officials signed a disaster declaration Tuesday pledged state and federal aid for flood victims. Wise urged residents to consider taking buyouts to get out of the flood-prone areas.
County officials will meet next week to determine if classes can resume this spring. If schools remain closed, state lawmakers might be asked to allow the county to open schools earlier in August to make up the lost weeks.
closed, some minor home damage," said Paul Howard with the state Office of Emergency Services.
Federal and state officials began putting relief centers throughout the area. They also began surveying all public buildings and roads for damage to see if as many as six counties could qualify for more federal aid, said Office of Emergency Services Director Steve Kappa.
Heavy rains in Webster County stranded between 20 and 25 people at a campground, according to a spokeswoman for the county's 911 center. High water prevented firefighters from attempting a rescue.
"I can't foresee that children would be back to school for at least two or three weeks. I just can't see it. We have majormajor problems," McDowell County Superintendent Mark Manchin said.
New law will allow students who struggle to transfer, Bush says
The Associated Press
MILWAUKEE, Wis. — President Bush yesterday wedged a plug for a new education law in between Mideast peacemaking meetings, highlighting successful schools in this politically crucial state. Democrats charged Bush's proposed budget can't pay for all the school reforms.
Though he is now deeply immersed in brokering peace in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Bush never mentioned the issue. However, he spoke at length about America's war against terrorism.
Bush is anxious to heighten awareness of the sweeping new education measure, which he signed into law four months ago but which many Americans know little about. He announced no new initiatives, instead visiting three high-performing schools as the backdrop for highlighting provisions of the bill he signed in January.
Yesterday, Bush emphasized that the new law would allow students in schools that have failed to meet state education standards for two years in a row to transfer to better public schools. According to the White House, the new law would allow nearly 70,000 students in 116 Wisconsin public schools to transfer.
"It's unacceptable, it's just unacceptable to have children trapped in schools that are mediocre, that won't change, that won't teach." Bush said.
Bush was talking up accountability provisions of the education bill. It requires annual state tests in reading and mathematics for every child in grades three through eight, beginning in the 2005-06 school year. Schools also will have to test students in science in three grades.
"Teaching is such a noble profession," Bush said at Rufus King High School. "It's such an important part of making sure that no child is left behind."
Bush also touted teacher quality provisions in the bill, including one that requires states to ensure that within four years all teachers will be qualified to teach in their subject areas.
The president's trips to Milwaukee and La Crosse, Wis., marked his fifth visit to the critical electoral state, which he narrowly lost to Al Gore in 2000.
Back in Washington for a late-afternoon meeting with
King Abdullah II of Jordan at the White House, the foreign policy subject that has demanded so much of Bush's attention in recent weeks resumed center stage. A response to Tuesday night's suicide bombing in an Israeli pool room, which killed at least 15 people, was sure to be at the top of their agenda.
On the eve of Bush's Wisconsin visit yesterday, Democrats intensified their charges that Bush's budget will not pay for his education plan.
Former inmates tell tales of abuse
Alfons J. Skorski, 52, showed a scarred leg he said resulted from an athlete's foot test at Philadelphia's Holmesburg Prison in 1970. A week later his foot lost all feeling and he could walk only by dragging his right foot.
The Associated Press
Skorski said that even now, "if I don't concentrate on that right foot it will still droop down, causing me to trip."
PHILADELPHIA — One after another, former city prison inmates came forward, pointing out scars they said were the marks of years of medical experiments in which they served as guinea pigs.
More than a half dozen former inmates appeared at a City Council committee hearing Tuesday to testify about the experiments they say were conducted on them. They are seeking an apology and compensation.
Many of the inmates' stories were told in the 1998 book Acres of Skin, by Temple University instructor and prison activist Allen Hornblum, who also testified Tuesday.
A lawsuit filed in October 2000 on behalf of 298 former inmates claims the testing exposed the inmates to infectious diseases, radiation, dioxin and psychotropic drugs — all without their informed consent.
It names as defendants the city of Philadelphia; Dr. Albert Kligman, a University of Pennsylvania dermatologist who conducted much of the research and is credited with developing the acne and anti-wrinkle treatment Retin A; the university; and Johnson & Johnson and the Dow Chemical Co., whose products were allegedly among those tested on inmates.
The medical testing at Holmesburg began in 1951 and didn't end until 1974, when it was banned, Hornblum said.
A federal judge ruled that the statute of limitations for such lawsuits expired about 20 years ago, said Tom Nocella, attorney for the plaintiffs. But Nocella said the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is expected to hear oral arguments on an appeal in July.

Colombia recovers from bloodbath
The Associated Press
QUIBDO, Colombia Through a hellish night and into the day, hundreds of families huddled on the floor of the church, praying for an end to the battle raging through their Colombian village.
Then with a sound like thunder and a shudder like an earthquake, a rebel mortar round came crashing through the roof, turning the sanctuary into a deathtrap.
"When I recovered my senses I began to look for my family," said survivor Octaviano Palacio. But the blast killed them all.
A week after one of the worst bloodbaths in Colombia's 38-year-old civil war, government and Roman Catholic authorities were beginning to piece together accounts of the battle between leftist guerrillas and far-right paramilitaries that engulfed the village of Bojaya and led to the church attack that killed as many
as 117 villagers. More than a third were children.
Underscoring its lack of control over wide swaths of this South American country, the military on Tuesday was still trying to reach Bojaya, reportedly strewn with corpses and with wounded awaiting evacuation.
In a statement read to reporters in Quib浊 Tuesday by phone, a commander of the leftist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, said the mortar attack on the church was accidental. He accused the paramilitaries of putting the civilians in danger with their presence in the village.
The sweltering, swampy region of northwest Colombia is a strategic corridor near the border with Panama that is used by the warring groups to smuggle drugs and black market arms.
The locals, most of whom are black descendants of slaves in one of the most neglected areas on the continent, have been
caught in the crossfire as the rebels and paramilitaries seek to control the corridor.
The FARC attacked Vigia del Fuerte, a town just across the Attrato River from Bojaya, in March 2000, driving out its police force after killing 21 officers. Once under rebel control, the area became a target for the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia, or AUC, a brutal right-wing militia group that has acted with the support of elements of the Colombian military.
According to a report by the Roman Catholic diocese in Quibdo, six boatloads of paramilitary fighters moved into Bojaya and Vigia del Fuerte on April21.
Four days later the FARC began blocking shipments of food and gasoline to flush out the paramilitaries. Then, on May 1, they attacked a paramilitary boat on the river, setting off the fighting that drove the villagers of Bojaya into the church.
Rebels launch attack in Nepal
The Associated Press
KATMANDU, Nepal — Retaliating against a massive military offensive, rebels launched simultaneous attacks yesterday across Nepal, killing at least 104 soldiers and police officers and losing 14 of their own, the army said.
More than 100 soldiers and police were killed in the remote western village of Gam, where about 500 Maoist guerrillas surrounded a joint army-police base late Tuesday, a senior officer of the Royal Nepalese Army told The Associated Press.
The death toll could not be independently confirmed, because journalists and human rights groups have not been allowed into the areas of fighting
Gam is a stronghold of Maoist insurgents who have been fighting to topple Nepal's constitutional monarchy since 1996.
Army helicopters ferried soldiers to Gam after dawn yesterday to try to help the trapped forces. The helicopters were not able to land, however, due to bad weather, the officer said.
While the fighting raged Tuesday night, Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and President Bush met in Washington to discuss U.S. aid for Nepal. The Bush administration recently asked Congress for $20 million in noncombat assistance for Nepal.
"Nepal is fighting a Maoist rebellion, and Nepal is an example, again, of a democracy, and the United States is committed to helping Nepal," White House representative Ari Fleischer said Tuesday.
The Maoist attacks were a
response to an air and land assault on a suspected guerrilla training camp in the Rolpa district, where Gam is located, 180 miles west of Katmandu. It was the largest assault by security forces in six years of fighting.
Also yesterday, the army said it had regained control of a police camp seized by the guerrillas in the town of Chainpur, about 240 miles east of Katmandu.
Four police officers were killed there, and soldiers recovered 14 rebel bodies, it said.
The army said yesterday that more than 410 rebels had been killed since Thursday, though other government officials have offered higher numbers. No civilians deaths have been reported, but the death toll could not be confirmed.

Memories life lessons will remain
When I was a kid I thought the most important thing in the world was sports.
Playing sports, watching sports, reading sports, writing sports. All of it mattered more than anything.
The past four years have taught me that I was wrong. Life is the most important thing — all aspects of it. Family matters. Faith matters. People matter. Sports matter, too. They are simply a part of that equation, but man, it's a good part.
Few other things give you the opportunity to paint your entire body blue and not feel out of place. Few other things allow you to feel like you know a total stranger just because you've watched them grow up right before your eyes on the basketball court.
Maybe you and your friends have taken road trips across the country in a cramped car just to go to a game. Perhaps you were the one who was playing.
Regardless, sports can move your soul in the most profound ways. Four years of covering Kansas sports have taught me that those experiences are the stuff that really matters.
My first reporting assignment as a freshman the Kansan sent me to Anschutz Sports Pavilion where the women's soccer team was practicing. I received a warm welcome from the team and soon met Melissa Downing, a senior-to-be on the team that year. Her style and spunk showed me a carefree person who loved life, but through frequent interviews and conversations, she reminded me that what you do for others matters the most.
Downing wanted to make people smile and feel special. Others at Kansas do the same for you, whether intentionally or not. Basketball fans have had their lives enriched by Drew Gooden, who gave you the three best years of his life, gave you a good time at the games and helped the Jayhawks return to the Final Four.
Brett Ballard and Chris Zerbe gave hope to all of the dreamers who grew up wanting to play basketball at Kansas.
Kirk Hinrich gave you a hero to embrace against Stanford in the NCAA Tournament when he played brilliantly on a severely sprained ankle.
Softball sisters Christi and Shelly Musser were even more heroic. Shelly played through back injuries and Christi conquered diabetes while both delivered all-conference efforts on the field.
During a painstaking football season, Ervin Holloman gave you a player to embrace as he set his sights on fatherhood. Derick Mills, a football player and aspiring teacher, sparked the minds of youngsters at local schools as a volunteer math tutor.
As fans we demand so much from our athletes. We follow them every day on the playing field, in the newspapers and on TV, and we selfishly demand more when their best isn't enough. We constantly judge them in terms of victories and losses, but frequently overlook their victories in life. We miss the most important stuff and forget the ways they've affected our lives for the better.
This is my final column at the University of Kansas. I want to thank those athletes who tolerated my interviews, shared their stories and touched my life in the process.
Their efforts might not be earth-shaking, but they have made life a bit more fun.

Budig may take reins of NCAA
Former chancellor Gene Budig possible candidate to replace NCAA president Cedric Dempsey By Brent Wasko Kansan sportswriter
Former University of Kansas chancellor Gene Budig may be in line to replace NCAA president Cedric Dempsey, who announced last month he would retire at the end of his contract on Jan. 1, 2003.
Sports Illustrated reported that Budig, who was chancellor at Kansas from 1981 to 1994, was the early leader to assume the job as president of the NCAA.
"I have not been contacted by anyone associated with the search process," Budig told Mike Fish of Sports Illustrated in the April 30 issue. "Several presidents have encouraged my interest. I just have nothing to say."
The Kansan attempted to contact Budig, but he
was unavailable for comment
Bob Frederick, former Kansas athletics director who worked with Budig for eight years, said he had been in contact with Budig on a regular basis during the past few months. To his knowledge, the NCAA had yet to talk with Budig about interviewing for the position.
PENN
"He is enormously qualified for the job because of his experience
dealing with intercollegiate athletics at a high level," Frederick said. "He is an intelligent and responsible individual."
Gene Budig
On April 26, the NCAA Executive Committee outlined the process and the timeline it would follow to select a new NCAA president. The executive search firm of Baker-Parker and Associates, located in Atlanta, had been hired to work with the NCAA to identify attributes in possible candidates and to conduct the search process.
"We expect to be in position to announce the selection of the new president by November 1," said Robert Lawless, president of the University of Tulsa and chairman of the NCAA Executive Committee. "We have great confidence in the process we've defined, our search firm and our search committee. We believe that will lead us to consideration of outstanding candidates."
Budig is an obvious choice as a candidate because of his experience working with major universities and professional athletics.
He became the seventh president of the American League in Major League Baseball on Aug.1, 1994. When baseball owners voted to eliminate the league president's position, Budig resigned and was appointed as senior adviser to commissioner Bud Selig.
Budig continued to receive his $650,000 annual salary, but that contract is set to end in December 2002, about the same time the NCAA president's job opens up.

Momentum runs through team
The track and field team will start the championship portion of its outdoor season pushed by recent achievements of members
By Matt Norton Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas track and field team will head into the championship portion of its outdoor season with as much firepower and momentum as any in recent history.
Last weekend, seven athletes posted NCAA-qualifying marks, led by 1,500-meter runners Katy Eisenmenger and Charlie Gruber, who each automatically qualified for the NCAA meet May 29-Iune 1, in Baton Rouge, La.
The Jayhawks have 10 athletes who have posted provisional or automatic marks on the national list: seniors Gruber and Eisenmenger; sophomore
Laura Lavoie in the 1,500; senior Jennie Wonder in the 100-meter hurdles; freshman Brooklyn Hann in the triple jump; senior Andrea Bulat in the javelin; senior Scott Russell in the hammer, discus and javelin throws; junior Mark Menefee in the 5,000 meters; junior Benaud Shirley in the triple jump; and junior Vadim Gvozdetski in the pole vault.

But there is still plenty of work to be done. Only Russell, who automatically qualified in the javelin, is certain to join Gruber and Eisenmenger, and there are several other athletes well within range of qualifying marks as well.

Shirley is one of the Jayhawks who needs only a little improvement to earn a trip to nationals. He sits in 24th place on the national list with his mark of 51 feet, 9 inches at the Kansas Relays.
Shirley said it would take a jump of about 53 feet to make it to Baton Rouge.

The Jayhawks will leave early next week for Little Rock, Ark., where the tournament will be held at the Pleasant Valley Country Club.
After a Big 12 tournament outing that saw the Jayhawks leave expectations unfulfilled, the team expected its 13th seed in the field of 27 teams at regionals.
"After our performance at Big 12, it doesn't surprise us much," senior Casey Harbour said. "Being the 13th seed doesn't matter once you're there, it just determines who you'll be paired up with, so we're not really at any kind of a disadvantage compared with other teams."

The Kansas baseball team's scheduled game against Rockhurst was canceled after severe thunderstorms hit Lawrence last night.
Kansas will start a three-game set with Oklahoma Friday. The Sooners (29-20, 11-10) have won five in a row, including sweeping a three-game series against Kansas State last weekend.
The Jaynawks (21-24 overall, 4-16 in Big 12 Conference play) will not make up the game, and will now close out the season with six Big 12 Conference games during the next two weekends.

According to Jane Jankowski, NCAA assistant director for public relations, the NCAA president is responsible for managing the headquarters in Indianapolis, which is staffed by 300 employees. The president also oversees the rules committees and the 87 different N C A A national championships.

"The search committee is charged with casting a wide net for a uniquely qualified and diverse pool of candidates," Lawless said. "Our process also will stress the confidentiality of candidates to assure that we can attract the most qualified individuals possible."
Lawless would not say whether Budig was being considered as a candidate for the job.
Budig served as president of Illinois State University and then West Virginia University before moving to Lawrence in 1981.
During his 13 years at Kansas, Budig oversaw an increase in the number of distinguished professorships and successful completion of the University's capital fund-raising campaign, Campaign Kansas.
The Lied Center, Anschutz Science Library, the Adams Alumni Center, the Dole Center, Dykes Library and the KU Regents Center all were added to campus during Budig's tenure.
As a token of appreciation for Budig's efforts to renovate Hoch Auditorium, which burned down, the graduating class of 1997 gave the bronze of the University seal that is located in the garden in front of Budig Hall.
As president of the American League, Budig wasn't as popular. He was criticized for his soft handling of Roberto Alomar after the second baseman spit in the face of umpire John Hirschbeck in the 1996 playoffs. He also rubbed people the wrong way for not attending many games, even during the playoffs.
Budig currently lives in Princeton, N.J., where he teaches a course called "The Business of Sport and the Public Interest."

Underdog rowing team hopes tides change soon
By Brent Wasko
Kansan sportswriter
only Big 12 teams participating. Texas is in the South Region.
The Kansas rowing team will need to pull off some major upsets if it hopes to equal its sixth-place finish from a year ago at the Central Regionals.
The Jayhawks, who haven't been ranked all season, are heading into the Central Regionals on May 18 and 19 in Oak Ridge, Tenn., as underdogs.
"I really don't know how successful we are going to be," Kansas coach Rob Catloth said. "I mean success for us is going to be like how far we go up the ladder."
Between 25 and 30 of the best teams in the Midwest will compete against the Jayhawks at the regatta. Most of the teams are from the Big Ten Conference. Kansas and Kansas State are the
Catloth said the top four teams at the Central Regionals typically qualified for the NCAA championship. The winner of the event automatically qualified. The rest of the teams must rely on an at-large bid.
Catloth is unsure whether the Jayhawks have a chance at qualifying.
"It depends if we're on or off," Catloth said. "I really have no idea. We have a lot of young kids rowing and racing well."
Kansas second varsity eight-boat coxswain Lindsay Abbott said the team's confidence would be a key factor for the Jawhaws.
"There's been a lack of consistency because some of the boats have been switched around all season," the sophomore said. "We can't row as individuals but
as a team."
The Jayhawks had a rough start to their season, losing to Texas, Stanford and California. They also struggled at the Knecht Cup, which was the team's second race.
But the Jayhawks have turned their season around of late. Kansas defeated Kansas State to claim the Kansas Cup and took second at the Big 12 Invitational last week.
"How successful we are in at the Central Regions has a lot to do with our mental approach going into it," Abbott said. "We have to have confidence in ourselves and we need to incorporate all that we've learned at practice."

Griffey injures leg in practice
The Associated Press
CINCINNATI — Ken Griffey Jr. had another ache yesterday a sore calf that turned purple after he got plunked in batting practice.
He also had peace of mind about how his angry comments this week have been received by hometown fans.
ments.
The Cincinnati Reds outfieldier criticized fans and the media in a diatribe Monday about how he's been treated since his homecoming in 2000. He cited a television station's poll and negative comments his family has heard at games.
There were several pro-Griffey banners at Cinergy Field the next night, and radio talk-show callers took up his cause during two days of rehashing his com-
"I think a lot of people understand where I was coming from," Griffey said after taking batting practice. "It wasn't like I was ripping every fan."
Griffey directed most of his criticism at a television station's unscientific poll asking which player should be benched when he's healthy enough to play again. Griffey was one of the four choices and was picked by 74 percent of those voting.
He hasn't played since he tore the patella tendon in his right knee on April 7. The Reds are hoping he'll be back sometime in the next few weeks.
"The timing of the poll is what set me off more than anything," he said. "If I was playing and not doing anything, then I could see it. But not having the chance to
defend myself and prove to people that I can play, that makes it tough.
"I haven't played in a month and here's a poll that says if he comes back, he should be sitting. My thing is, if it was Barry Bonds, would they do a poll? No."
After Griffey was hurt, the Reds moved into first place in the NL Central. Griffey said the focus should be on the teams performance, not on who should sit when he returns.
"I don't think anybody should be negative when you're in first place," Griffey said.
Unlike on Monday, when his words spilled out with an angry edge. Griffey was in a playful mood yesterday. He even had fun with his latest setback — a nasty bruise on his calf.

Stokes to leave Missouri, transfer to play elsewhere
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Sophomore point guard Wesley Stokes is leaving Missouri, coach Quin Snyder said yesterday.
Stokes will transfer from the university at the end of the current semester, Snyder said. He did not say where Stokes intends to play. The North County Times in Escondido, Calif., reported Tuesday that Stokes would transfer to San Diego State, a school that originally recruited him out of Long Beach (Calif.) Poly High School in 2000.
Stokes will have to sit out a year before resuming his career, under NCAA regulations. He has two years of eligibility remaining.
"Wesley has been a solid contributor for us the past two seasons," Snyder said. "We wish him the best of luck as he goes down a
different path in his academic and athletic career"
Stokes was a fan favorite with his wild hair bouncing as he moved. He averaged 5.8 points per game last season and led the Tigers with 147 assists, averaging 4.1 per game.
Stokes began the season as Missouri's starting point guard. He struggled at times and lost the starting job in midseason, though he continued to get significant playing time, and played well as the 12th seeded Tigers fell just a game short of reaching the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament.
Still, his role figured to be even more reduced next season with the arrival of Vasonh High School standout Jimmy McKinney and junior college transfer Ricky Clemons.
McKinney led St. Louis-based Vasonh to three state Missouri 4A championships. Clemons was a

Agassi, teenager advance in Italian Open
The Associated Press
ROME — Andy Roddick and Andre Agassi advanced yesterday to the second round of the Italian Open.
Roddick overcame a poor start to defeat Andrei Pavel 1-6, 6-4, 6-3, and Agassi breezed past Michel Kratochvil 6-0, 6-1 in 43 minutes.
In a match that was delayed 2 hours, 45 minutes by rain, the 13th-seeded Roddick had just three winners in the first set. Pavel hit 16 winners.
"He reacted better than I did," Roddick said. "I tried to keep fighting though and came out with the win."
Andre Agassi
The 19-year-old Roddick seemed to have trouble with the soft surface early in the match, repeatedly looking down at his feet as Pavel's winners went untouched.
Andre Agassi
After trading breaks midway through the second set, Roddick's groundstrokes wore on Pavel and he broke the Romanian to even the match.
At 4-3 in the third set, Roddick hit a backhand crosscourt passing shot to break serve and then held on for the win.
Agassi, who closed out an easy victory with an ace on match point, moved closer to winning one of the few significant tournament titles to elude him.
Also advancing to the third round were seventh-seeded Tommy Haas, who beat Juan Ignacio Chela 7-5, 6-1, and 10th-seeded Sebastien Grosjean of France, who defeated David Nalbandian 5-7, 6-4, 7-5.
Top-seeded Lleyton Hewitt was scheduled to play Carlos Moya later Wednesday. Also, defending champion Juan Carlos Ferrero, was to face Ivan Lubicic.

Need a magic wand to graduate on time?
Well, it may not be magic, but the summer session at WSU can do some pretty incredible things—like make an entire class disappear in as little as two weeks. It's not smoke and mirrors, just an easy, convenient way to get ahead between semesters.
And, as always, credits earned at WSU are easily transferable to KU. So, take summer school at Wichita State, and in the blink of an eye you'll be closer to graduation and still have plenty of time to enjoy summer before heading back to Lawrence.
Enrollment is now open,

Wood Brothers struggle in today's NASCAR
The Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va. — Sitting in a hauler at Richmond International Raceway, Eddie Wood was asked about the future of his team. The answer came quickly and seemed to surprise even him.
"I hope we are sitting here a year from now," he said.
More than 50 years after Glen Wood started the Wood Brothers Racing team, the organization that's won 97 races and is among the pioneers of stock car racing is being threatened by the sport's enormous growth.
Elliott Sadler, a promising 27-year-old driver in his fourth season in the Woods' famed No. 21 Ford, wants out his contract, reportedly to take big money elsewhere.
through past crises.
But Eddie Wood and brother Len said they'll keep Sadler in their car for the rest of the season, and they will survive, as they have
"We've had so many ends of the world, but then it always works out," Eddie Wood said, recalling when Dale Jarrett and others made plans to leave the team at season's end.
Sadler last week accepted blame for the team's struggles, saying he felt he had let the Woods down and suggesting a change would be best for him and the team.
Eddie Wood said while he'd heard rumors about Sadler being pursued and wasn't totally blind-sided, he's not ready to find someone new.
"We don't even know who we need to talk to. We weren't looking for a driver, and if you're not looking for a driver, you don't know what's out there because you don't care. Now, we're paying attention," he said.
In an age when one-car teams are having a tough time surviving, the Wood brothers have
experienced something of a revival, despite their troubles. Teaming up with Jack Roush for engines and other assistance has helped, and Sadler's lone victory ended a nine-year drought in 2000.
The Woods also are widely respected in the Winston Cup garage.
"This sport, unfortunately, is being driven by money," said Ricky Rudd, the last of the highly successful single-car teams who finally shut down his operation and joined Robert Yates Racing for the 2000 season.
"If the Wood brothers had some of the sponsorship dollars some of these other teams have, they'd probably win 10 races a year. They can operate a race team a lot cheaper than most people can because they know so much about their cars and they make a lot of their own stuff.
Teams return to CART racing
"They're fighting that battle as many car owners are doing."
The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — The billboard across the street from the speedway looks like a greeting for a long-lost friend: "Look who's back in town."
Then you see the photo of team owner Bobby Rahal and driver Jimmy Vasser.
To Rahal, the 1986 Indianapolis 500 champion, there could be no simpler message: If it's May, he belongs at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
"It was disappointing not to be here," Rahal said after arriving at the track this week. "We had some races in May, so it wasn't like we were sitting around doing nothing. Certainly, though, I think we should have been here."
Rahal insists he always believed that,
even when his CART team left Indianapolis after the Indy Racing League formed in 1996.
Rahal was one of Tony George's most vehement critics after George's decision to split open-wheel racing into two circuits, CART and the IRL.
He said at the time that the IRL was more interested in "going its own way" and that the track's tradition "had gone away" because of the split.
That started a feud with IRL队 owner A.J. Foyt, who questioned the decision of CART owners to stay away from Indianapolis.
"They're forgetting where they came from and what made their name," Foyt said then.
Time is healing the wounds.
Rahal is the most recent addition to a
growing list of CART teams that have returned to Indianapolis.
Chip Ganassi broke the ice in 2000 when he won the race with Juan Pablo Montoya. Last year Team Green and Roger Penske returned, with Penske driver Helio Castronews winning. This year, seven CART drivers will try to make the May 26 race.
And after a six-year absence, Rahal has gotten enough money from his primary sponsor, Miller beer, to put his first car as a full-time owner on the Indianapolis track.
"There's an excitement, a certain challenge about" being back, Rahal said. "It's certainly changed around here from the last time I drove here."
third-place finish was the last in a string of successes. He had seven top 10 finishes in 13 Indy starts, including the '86 victory, a runner-up finish in 1990 and another third-place finish in 1994.
His final race here came in 1995 and his
As much as Rahal enjoys being back, though, he remains adamant the split was unnecessary and the addition of two other races — the Brickyard 400 and the U.S. Grand Prix—have tarnished the Indianapolis 500.
"I'm a purist, a romantic," Rahal said. "I felt the split was bad and I thought it was wrong to bring a stock car race to the track.
"I'm always galled when I hear everyone in NASCAR say it's America's race. If anything is America's race, it's the Indy 500."

Graduation sparks memories of liaisons through the years
It's that time again. Thousands of University of Kansas students will soon walk down the hill, through the Campanile and on to the rest of their lives.
It's also the time for KU graduates to wax nostalgic on all the experiences that have taken place in the last four, five, six or however many years since entering college. And, to be sure, mixed in with the memories of drunken vomiting, late-night paper
writing and roommates from hell will be remembrances of the sexual sort.
Remember freshman year, when you were surrounded by what seemed to be millions upon billions of possible romantic or sexual conquests?

drinking.
The sense of unbridled sexual experimentation is a sophomore-year trademark.
Meghan Bainum mbainum@kansan.com
forcing freshman in the residence halls and scholarship halls to sleep on beds only slightly larger than a two-by-four plank — and only slightly more comfortable — and share rooms only slightly bigger than a shoe box, after a good session of drinking (off campus, of course), those little dorm beds turned into palaces of passion.
Many KU graduates can remember getting busy in a dorm room with a roommate asleep in the bed across the room (or even worse, under or above the action),worrying about whether he or she would stay asleep.
If freshman year can be remembered by the difficulties in finding a decent place to have sex, sophomore year can be remembered by the difficulties in finding a decent person to have sex with.
After getting out of the dorms, the next step in sexual development would be the one-night stand. Sophomore year brings with it a sense of craziness — of invulnerability. These feelings often lead to less-than-wonderful sexual adventures, which are still probably brought up by so-called "friends" while
Junior year dawns, finding the KU student a little bit smarter, and a little bit less likely to get on a random Saferide driver after a night of drunken debaucheery.
the bar scene sexual pick-up supposedly begins
junior year, and by this time, most students have a double bed — or at least their own rooms — to bring a hottie home to at the end of the night.
Using newfound sexual standards, the junior will often search for the "perfect" sexual companion, and consequently, for the perfect masturbation aide. The good thing is, the "perfect" sexual
companion can sometimes turn into a pretty good companion in other ways.
Which brings us to senior year (or years), where the first spurts of maturity also have begun to slightly temper the uncontrollable urges experienced freshman and sophomore years.
While some seniors find the beginnings of this maturity uncomfortable and seek help in the arms of younger KU students, such as the aforementioned freshman or sophomore, many have found sexual stability in the arms of a long-term lover.
It's even possible, finally, to remember some of the more interesting sexual experiences and to tell such stories to others.
So, when walking down the hill, take a small moment of the day to remember your sexual growth, as well as your academic achievements.
After all, when that Fortune 500 job falls through, at least you can still have good sex.
Degrees can make students lose perspective on accomplishment
What good is a college degree? I tested the question on three people, and they all pretty much answered the same way: Money.
A degree can certainly boost someone's financial well-being, but more than that, it really affects how a person is treated in about every kind of relationship with which he or she is involved.
Unfortunately, many take this boost in stature and do nothing with it. They don't even take the time to
do nothing with it. They don't realize how rare it is to actually attend — much less finish — college. Getting caught up in the idea that everyone gets a degree is easy, especially when living in a college town. You don't need statistics to realize not everyone is lucky enough to attend college. You need to just look around.
Last time I went home, I looked up some of my former classmates.
university, she remained in Liberal to begin her academic career at the local community college.
RELATIONSHIP'S COLUMN
Metody never earned a degree or left Liberal, but instead is happily married with three children. After talking with her, I discovered she hoped she could attend college some day. With three children, though, that will be tough for her.
Perhaps the most startling story I came across was a former classmate who was working in a local pub. Also

a very bright person in high school, she had stumbled across hard times. She did not finish high school, but instead decided to work at Wal-Mart and live with a man almost twice her age.
One friend, Tara Kramer, was always the sweet, smart girl in high school. I was eager to find out what she was doing after graduating college. It turned out she hadn't. Her father was having troubles raising his youngest daughter on his own, so Tara selflessly gave up school to raise her little sister.
Since Tara always believed in women's rights, she made sure I knew she was doing it because she wanted a better life—and higher self-esteem—for her little sister. This meant Tara had to give up her education, even if only for a brief time.
I also came across my unrequited high school crush, Melody Agee, the wild girl my mother warned me about. More than just a charismatic looker, Melody was incredibly intelligent. As I journeyed off to a state
She eventually turned to stripping to raise money for her and her husband's drinking and drug habits. Life had turned her bitter, and she constantly made fun of
how lame all of the money I was spending on college was.
Those three women had so much promise, but unlike those here, could not translate that promise into a substantial education. Yet.
These experiences helped me to realize two things: First, once that college degree is earned, relationships change — always with employers, but mostly with those who did not get the same opportunities in life. It also helped me to realize that while a degree may give me a raise in pay, it also gave me a sense of just how luck i am.
It means I am one of the privileged few in this country who, with a mixture of luck and hard work, actually was able to take the next step others just can't.
It is a privilege I, and other graduates, should use responsibly.
ODDITIES Suspect arrested after bringing drugs to court
UNIONTOWN, Pa. — A suspected drug dealer must not have had any-where to stash his crack cocaine and marijuana, authorities said, so he brought it with him — to court.
As police closed in on him, Ford reportedly said, "Man, I got the blow on me."
Duron Ford, 19, had a court appearance Monday on drug possession charges. Knowing Ford was due in court, officers approached him in the courthouse to serve a warrant on an unrelated case.
"We would hope that they have enough brain cells to know not to bring illicit drugs into the courthouse," said Ford's court-appointed attorney, Jeffrey Witeko.
After 10 police officers corralled Ford in the hallway of the Fayette County courthouse, they found he was carrying about two grams of crack cocaine and some marijuana.
Bush honored in ceremony at place he was born
HARTFORD. Conn. — He's usually seen as a Texan, but President Bush has been honored as a native son by the Connecticut General Assembly, which called on state transportation officials to install signs pointing travelers to his New Haven birthplace.
Republican Rep. Ruth Fahrbach introduced legislation Tuesday to recognize what she called Connecticut's "important distinction."
The provision was part of a transportation bill that won final approval by the Senate and now goes to Republican Gov. John G. Rowland.
The measure would require the Department of Transportation to place signs on two interstate highways near the New Haven city line. The markers would say, "Welcome to New Haven, Connecticut,Birthplace of George W. Bush, the 43rd President of the United States."
Reward being offered for lost eagle in Vermont
MONTPELIER, Vt. — An eagle soared way out of range at a falconry school, and now the public is being asked to help find the wayward bird.
The British School of Falconry in the southern Vermont town of Manchester asked for help Tuesday in finding a 19-year-old tawny eagle that disappeared on Friday.
Elsie was out for her daily exercise flight when she disappeared, probably blown to the north by strong winds, said Rob Waite, the school's lead instructor and master falconer.
"She was caught by a gust of wind and got carried away," Waite said.
The school teaches the ancient sport of falconry — using birds of prey in hunting — and Elsie's job was to demonstrate the techniques of the sport to students.
Waite said the school had offered a $1,000 award for the bird's safe return.

Graduation sparks memories of liaisons through the years
It's that time again. Thousands of University of Kansas students will soon walk down the hill, through the Campanile and on to the rest of their lives.
It's also the time for KU graduates to wax nostalgic on all the experiences that have taken place in the last four, five, six or however many years since entering college. And, to be sure, mixed in with the memories of drunken vomiting, late-night paper
writing and roommates from hell will be remembrances of the sexual sort.
Remember freshman year, when you were surrounded by what seemed to be millions upon billions of possible romantic or sexual conquests?
SEXCOLUMN
Although the good folks at the housing department try to keep sexual liaisons under control by
drinking.
The sense of unbridled sexual experimentation is a sophomore-year trademark.
Meghan Bainum
mbainum@kansan.com
forcing freshman in the residence halls and scholarship halls to sleep on beds only slightly larger than a two-by-four plank — and only slightly more comfortable — and share rooms only slightly bigger than a shoe box, after a good session of drinking (off campus, of course), those little dorm beds turned into palaces of passion.
Many KU graduates can remember getting busy in a dorm room with a roommate asleep in the bed across the room (or even worse, under or above the action), worrying about whether he or she would stay asleep.
Junior year dawns, finding the KU student a little bit smarter, and a little bit less likely to get on a random Saferide driver after a night of drunken debauchery.
If freshman year can be remembered by the difficulties in finding a decent place to have sex, sophomore year can be remembered by the difficulties in finding a decent person to have sex with.
After getting out of the dorms, the next step in sexual development would be the one-night stand. Sophomore year brings with it a sense of craziness — of invulnerability. These feelings often lead to less-than-wonderful sexual adventures, which are still probably brought up by so-called "friends" while
The bar scene sexual pick-up supposedly begins
junior year, and by this time, most students have a double bed — or at least their own rooms — to bring a hottie home to at the end of the night.
Using newfound sexual standards, the junior will often search for the "perfect" sexual companion, and consequently, for the perfect masturbation aide. The good thing is, the "perfect" sexual
companion can sometimes turn into a pretty good companion in other ways.
Which brings us to senior year (or years), where the first spurs of maturity also have begun to slightly temper the uncontrollable urges experienced freshman and sophomore years.
While some seniors find the beginnings of this maturity uncomfortable and seek help in the arms of younger KU students, such as the aforementioned freshman or sophomore, many have found sexual stability in the arms of a long-term lover.
It's even possible, finally, to remember some of the more interesting sexual experiences and to tell such stories to others.
So, when walking down the hill, take a small moment of the day to remember your sexual growth, as well as your academic achievements.
After all, when that Fortune 500 job falls through, at least you can still have good sex.
Degrees can make students lose perspective on accomplishment
What good is a college degree? I tested the question on three people, and they all pretty much answered the same way: Money.
A degree can certainly boost someone's financial well-being, but more than that, it really affects how a person is treated in about every kind of relationship with which he or she is involved.
Unfortunately, many take this boost in stature and laugh with it. They do even take the time to

do nothing that realizes how rare it is to actually attend — much less finish — college. Getting caught up in the idea that everyone gets a degree is easy, especially when living in a college town. You don't need statistics to realize not everyone is lucky enough to attend college. You need to just look around.
RELATIONSHIPS COLUMN
Last time I went home, I looked up some of my former classmates.
Melody never earned a degree or left Liberal, but instead is happily married with three children. After talking with her, I discovered she hoped she could attend college some day. With three children, though, that will be tough for her.
RELATIONSHIPS COLUMN
Perhaps the most startling story I came across was a former classmate who was working in a local pub. Also

a very bright person in high school, she had stumbled across hard times. She did not finish high school, but instead decided to work at Wal-Mart and live with a man almost twice her age.
One friend, Tara Kramer, was always the sweet, smart girl in high school. I was eager to find out what she was doing after graduating college. It turned out she hadn't. Her father was having troubles raising his youngest daughter on his own, so Tara selflessly gave up school to raise her little sister.
She eventually turned to stripping to raise money for her and her husband's drinking and drug habits. Life had turned her bitter, and she constantly made fun of
Since Tara always believed in women's rights, she made sure I knew she was doing it because she wanted a better life—and higher self-esteem—for her little sister. This meant Tara had to give up her education, even if only for a brief time.

how lame all of the money I was spending on college was.
Those three women had so much promise, but unlike those here, could not translate that promise into a substantial education. Yet.
These experiences helped me to realize two things: First, once that college degree is earned, relationships change — always with employers, but mostly with those who did not get the same opportunities in life. It also helped me to realize that while a degree may give me a raise in pay, it also gave me a sense of just how lucky I am.
It means I am one of the privileged few in this country who, with a mixture of luck and hard work, actually was able to take the next step others just can't.
It is a privilege I, and other graduates, should use responsibly.
ODDITIES Suspect arrested after bringing drugs to court
UNIONTOWN, Pa. — A suspected drug dealer must not have had anywhere to stash his crack cocaine and marijuana, authorities said, so he brought it with him — to court.
As police closed in on him, Ford reportedly said, "Man, I got the blow on me."
Duron Ford, 19, had a court appearance Monday on drug possession charges. Knowing Ford was due in court, officers approached him in the courthouse to serve a warrant on an unrelated case.
"We would hope that they have enough brain cells to know not to bring illicit drugs into the courthouse," said Ford's court-appointed attorney, Jeffrey Witeko.
After 10 police officers corralled Ford in the hallway of the Fayette County courthouse, they found he was carrying about two grams of crack cocaine and some marijuana.
Bush honored in ceremony at place he was born
HARTFORD, Conn. — He's usually seen as a Texan, but President Bush has been honored as a native son by the Connecticut General Assembly, which called on state transportation officials to install signs pointing travelers to his New Haven birthplace.
Republican Rep. Ruth Fahrbach introduced legislation Tuesday to recognize what she called Connecticut's "important distinction."
The provision was part of a transportation bill that won final approval by the Senate and now goes to Republican Gov. John G. Rowland.
The measure would require the Department of Transportation to place signs on two interstate highways near The New Haven city line. The markers would say, "Welcome to New Haven, Connecticut, Birthplace of George W. Bush, the 43rd President of the United States."
Reward being offered for lost eagle in Vermont
MONTPELIER, Vt. — An eagle soared way out of range at a falconry school, and now the public is being asked to help find the wayward bird.
The British School of Falconry in the southern Vermont town of Manchester asked for help Tuesday in finding a 19-year-old tawny eagle that disappeared on Friday.
Elsie was out for her daily exercise flight when she disappeared, probably blown to the north by strong winds, said Rob Waite, the school's lead instructor and master falconer.
"She was caught by a gust of wind and not carried away." Waite said.
The school teaches the ancient sport of falconry — using birds of prey in hunting—and Elisie's job was to demonstrate the techniques of the sport to students.
Waite said the school had offered a $1,000 award for the bird's safe return.

Flick has lesson for graduates
COMMENTARY
Throughout my short tenure at this publication I have pitched several articles commemorating one anniversary or another. Unfortunately, I was a few years off for both Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and Michael Jackson's Thriller.
COMMENTARY
It just doesn't seem like anything interesting happened 10, 20 or 30 years ago. But it was brought to my attention that the classic Mike Nichols film, The Graduate, was released in 1967. Exactly 35 years before the date listed on my diploma.
Brad Weiner
bweiner@kansan.com
The film opens with a shot of a very young, very scared Dustin Hoffman returning home after he finished college. At a graduation party, Benjamin, who was Hoffman's character, tries desperately to escape the congratulatory atmosphere, but is continually roped into increasingly boring conversations.
The only interesting person is the enigmatic Mrs. Robinson, played by Anne Bancroft, wife of his father's business partner, who convinces him to take her home.
The film's setup takes only minutes before we are catapulted into the weird world of a love affair between an awkward, boyish character, and an older, recovering alcoholic. The story gets even more deranged when
Benjamin falls in love with Elaine, who is The Robinsons' daughter.
The Graduate defined the "coming of age" genre. Without Hoffman's often clumsy movements and awkward dialogue, Benjamin would come across looking like a man instead of a boy who is "worried about his future."
Finally, Benjamin goes after Elaine and drives his sporty Alfa Romeo to interrupt her wedding. When he arrives at the wedding he disrupts it by pounding on the glass in the organ chamber upstairs.
One memorable component of The Graduate is the beautiful soundtrack sung by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. Tunes like "Scarborough Fair." "Mrs. Robinson" and "Sounds of Silence," accentuate the film's story and bring the musicians into the limelight. When Benjamin's car runs out of gas on his way to the wedding chapel the music retards dra
matically. then stops.
Viewers have no closure on the story. Although Elaine does run off with him,it is impossible to tell whether they will make a decent couple.
So what does this have to do with graduation? It teaches us that a diploma is not a guarantee for our future. Benjamin didn't get what he wanted by laying around drinking beer. He went out on a limb. He tried something new. Some might say he went crazy. Whatever your interpretation, it is clear that Benjamin gains confidence and life experience as the film progresses. For the first time, Benjamin learns from life instead of from class.
The most poignant message in The Graduate is given by Mr. Robinson, who tells Benjamin over a short glass of bourbon, "You'll never be young again."
It sounds frightening that a week from Sunday, University of Kansas grads will feel slightly older as we toss our caps in the air and become whatever we will become. Ideally, college wasn't just a vehicle for us to feel young. I'd like to think that through the course of the coming months, there will be a chance for us to show that our years at this place also made us wise.
Guitarist discusses influences
COMMENTARY
Andy Gassaway agassaway@kansan.com
Seven years ago, four students at the Rhode Island School of Design took it upon themselves to craft a sound built on the spastic mid-range guitar fury of D.C. hardcore and calculated dissonance of mid-80s indie-rock, pairing it with literate vocal explorations of the bizarre, humorous and sentimental. Through the course of three full-length releases and a live EP, the members of Les Savy Fav have continued to press the boundaries of their deep-seated organic rock leanings into stranger, more indulgent territory.
Their latest offering, Go Forth, released on bassist Syd Butler's Frenchkiss label, finds the band hearkening to varied influences such as new wave and dark 80s pop, adding electronic nuances that dras its sound ever closer to the oddball zeniths of vocalist Tim Harrington's lyrics.
Last Sunday, Les Savy Fav exhibited this sound in a performance at the Bottleneck. Before the show, guitarist Seth Jabour was able to take a break from tweaking the band's onstage setup to discuss the new approach taken with Go Forth, writing songs in-studio, and not-so-triumphant moments in the history of anesthesia.
Andy Gassaway: You guys seem pretty album-oriented. Do each of your albums carry a cohesive idea throughout?
Seth Jabour: I wouldn't say any of the records carry one theme. It's more about where we were stylistically at the time. Basically, before we recorded Go Forth, we had all these sketches and knew this was going to be a song and this was going to be a
song and so on. But some became what they were when we recorded them and were nothing as we had imagined.
As far as Go Forth goes, we pretty much knew what we wanted. Our drummer Harrison [Haynes] likes drum sounds on Police records; some drum sounds on Talking Heads records.
AG: It's reverb!
SJ: Yeah, and there's the same thing with the guitar lines. Sometimes I want them to be very nervous-sounding.
AG: Was this the first time you wrote in the studio and worked the live versions out later? Is that an accurate assumption of how the recording process went?
SJ: That's actually a very fair assumption. It [Emor: Rome Upside Down (2000)] was the first thing we did as a four-piece, and I think that's where a lot of the ideas came from for Go Forth. Suddenly where there isn't always two guitars playing off each other, we brought in some sequencing, some synth sounds to add a little texture and give it that overall shape and attitude we were going for — moments of synth-pop sensibilities, but still with a lot of rock 'n' roll or however you want to call it.
I love bands like Siouxsie and the Banshees and Joy Division and the Cure. On this last record, it was like, I like Fugazi, but I don't want to write another record where people are like, 'It sounds like Fugazi.'
AG: I've noticed medical themes tend to pop up from time to time in your lyrics. Has anyone in the band ever experienced any odd medical trauma?
SJ: Tim writes all the lyrics; I never really picked his brain about it. This part about the anesthesiologist was taken from an article he read about the person who invented anesthesia, the first time he practiced it on a patient. He puts somebody under and during the operation he comes out of it, and it's just about how botched and humiliating it must have been for this great doctor to be like, 'I just invented anesthesia. We can perform operations on people without them being conscious' without having it work
AG: Absolutely, and it's a great story.
SJ. They're great narratives, but at the same time, it's a great song. It's not literally about anesthesia or a burning bush. Maybe it has multiple levels.
Maybe. But even if the subject matter and meaning of Les Savy Fav's songs elude the band members themselves, the aural progression documented on Go Forth suggests a wealth of untapped levels of their sound waiting to guide them through new shades of the rock spectrum on future efforts.
Weezer concert displayed unity
Commentary By Bill Heinen Special to the Kansan
There exists in the world of psychology the principle of psychic unity. This concept claims that all human beings are inherently the same, despite being raised in various cultures and in eclectic socioeconomic standards. Tuesday night, at the Weezer concert in the Kansas Coliseum in Wichita, I was able to get an intense glimpse into this principle.
First off, though I don't mean to downplay the generosity or courtesy of the fine people in Wichita, I was amazed to see so little fighting at a public venue.
I had been to one Weezer concert in the past and many shows for other bands, but until Tuesday I had never encountered a pacifist audience. This was one of the first things that made me realize that the night was special, different somehow than all other concerts.
Within the first five minutes of entering the Coliseum I saw a few punk rockers, a plethora of preteen girls, high school jocks sporting their colors and school letters, and even a few of those interesting goth-deathrock individuals.
Second, Weezer fans are the best first and foremost because they consist of so many different types of people.
Yet the minute the music pounded through the system and the fans heard Rivers' peaceful, tranquil voice through the static fuzz of the microphone, we became more than our individual beliefs; we became united, and I saw the principle of psychic unity at its finest, if only for a two- hour show.
I spent my time jumping to the .poppy sounds of songs such as "Why Bother?" and "Photograph" and throwing myself into
For one night, tolerance did exist, and I felt comfortable in a crowd of strangers. I will always consider Tuesday's Weezer concert to be more than an amazing, electrifying show, which of course it was.
To me, it will always be the ideal of humanity purported to be true by the principle of psychic unity.

'Hollywood Ending' brings familiar flair to new generation
It is fitting with the school year ending and graduation becoming a reality that a film like Hollywood Ending be released. Sure, director and actor Woody Allen is getting old and his style hasn't changed much over the years, but his style continues to be appropriate for changing and growing generations.
Hollywood Ending is a combination of Woody Allen's '70s-style films, like Annie Hall, and his newer breed of films, like The Curse of the Jade Scorpion. He still plays the same character that he always does — a near mirror image of himself — as he takes us through the ridiculously neurotic and exaggerated world that he lives in.
In Hollywood Ending, Allen's new persona is Val Waxman, a washed-up, Oscar-toting director who has been exiled into the world of directing commercials.
That is, until the script of The City that Never Sleeps comes to Galaxy Studios and Ellie (Tea Leoni). Val's ex-wife, convinces her new fiancé and studio president (Treat Williams) that Val is the only person who can successfully make the movie and that he deserves a second chance.
Val prepares to shoot the new movie but begins to feel the pressure of his entire career riding on this one film combined with the stress of working under his ex-wife. As a result of all the stress, he wakes up from a nap one day to find that he is blind. Knowing this is his last chance at making a movie, he forges ahead and shoots the entire film

completely blind with the help of a Chinese translator and Ellie, who is covering up the situation from her soon-to-be husband.
Though Woody Allen is getting old, he is a genius comedian and filmmaker and he solidifies this by sticking to what he knows best. In fact, Hollywood Ending is a culmination of all of his films. It combines the same unswaying humor with his love for New York City and his playfully neurotic approach to sex.
His jokes about analysts and psychosomatic disorders have a '70s flavor and can seem out-of-date, but they are still prevalent issues in today's society.
Sure, compulsive disorders and shrinks may not be the hot topic of discussion, but addiction and looking for answers in odd places is still a visible part of our culture.
If there is one thing that Allen has taught us through the years, it is that the best way to be successful in life is to stick to what you know.
And why shouldn't he? Hollywood Ending proves that his style still works and offers a smarter brand of comedy and satire that continues to win over new generations.

Graduation continues traditions
By Sarah Hill Kansan staff writer
In addition to the excitement of finishing college, University of Kansas graduates have a 78-year-old tradition to look forward to.
Walking down Campanile hill into Memorial Stadium is as much a part of graduation as purchasing caps and gowns.
Lindsay Jacobs, St. Louis senior, will graduate with the class of 2002 with a degree in speech, language and hearing. She said that she was looking forward to the walk down the hill.
"I think it makes it more meaningful because there's a tradition behind walking down the hill," she said. "The tradition makes it more fun."
According to Robert Taft's book Across the Years on M. Oread, the process from Strong Hall to the Memorial Stadium began in 1924, right after the stadium was built.
Before the stadium was completed, graduates walked from Fraser Hall to the old Robinson Gymnasium, located
where Wescoe Hall is today.
In 1899, seniors wore graduation regalia throughout the entire school year, not just on the day of Commencement.
The first Commencement was held on June 11, 1873, but faculty members did not wear robes until after 1908. Chancellor Snow rejected students' requests to require that faculty wear robes, saying "We lay ourselves open to ridicule by the state. The majority of Kansans would have no sympathy for such a form."
When the festivities are held outside, the unpredictable Kansas weather can always change plans.
Bill Corcoran graduated from the University in 1935 with a degree in business, but did not walk down the hill because of rain.
Corcoran planned to walk this year with his twin granddaughters, Adriane and Audrey Roberts, Leawood seniors. Unfortunately, after purchasing the cap and gown and obtaining permission from the Chancellor, he will not be able to walk because of problems with his
Corcoran said that he never thought he would walk down the hill, but his granddaughters asked him to walk with them.
legs.
"It's only been 67 years since I've been out of school," he said. "It's a nice tradition, and I honored it."
Jennifer Jackson Sanner, senior vice-president and editor of the Kansas Alumni Magazine, graduated from the University in 1981.
She said that those who miss their walk usually choose to take it at some point in their lives. Sanner walked down the hill for the first time last year as a marshal after her Commencement was rained out.
Sanner said that the walk was the most important part of Commencement. Other traditional parts of collegiate commencements, such as outside speakers, are replaced with the walk.

Students hit open road in summer
By Jessica Tims Kansan staff writer
Summer vacation brings the opportunity for students to get out on the road toward their favorite travel destinations.
According to AAA of Kansas, more tourists are opting to take the open road instead of the friendly skies. Cherie Sage, public affairs coordinator for AAA, said the requests for maps and road trip plans were up from past years and the demand for airline tickets was down.
Piotr Zygmunt, Lawrence junior, said that he took five or six road trips each year and that he was leaving for San Fransico in a couple of weeks.
"Road trips are more enjoyable," he said. "You have more time and they are cheaper."
Seth Rabnick, Minneapolis.
Minn., freshman, said he was planning a road trip with his best friend during the summer. He said they would drive from Minneapolis to Lake Superior, then take a three-hour ferry ride to Isle Royale in Houghton, Minn.
The trip to Isle Royale is not the first Rabnick will venture on this year. He said he journeyed to St. Louis to watch the Kansas men's basketball team play in the first round of the NCAA tournament during spring break.
"Road trips give you freedom," Rabnick said. "You can stop off at restaurants and any place you see on the way."
Zygmunt and Rabnick agreed money was the most important thing to bring on a road trip.
"You have to be sure to have plenty of gas money," Rabnick said.
"Set money aside for gas, put it in an envelope and keep it in the glove box."
Zygmunt said a camera was another must-have item.
"You have to bring a camera," he said. "You will want to take a lot of pictures."
Sage said AAA suggested road trippers take these precautions before hitting the highway.
Tune-up your vehicle.
Plan your route before you leave.
Check the weather ahead of you.
- Pack a "Survival Kit" including water, snacks, cell phone and a spare tire.
Most importantly, buckle up.

Graduating early has its perks
By Meghan Brune Jayplay writer
As the graduating seniors line up for their walk down the hill this spring, they will be joined by some who came to the University of Kansas with the 2003 class.
They leave for various reasons — some to enter the work force, others to travel, get married or take time off.
Lindsay Kincaid, Overland Park senior, is one of these students. Kincaid started at the University in the fall of 1999. She is a secondary English education major and finished her first four years of coursework in three.
10.56
"I always knew what I wanted to do, so I never took a class that didn't count toward my major." Kincaid said.
Education majors are required to spend a year doing a student-teaching internship after completing their four-year degrees, Kincaid will hold off on her fifth year until the fall of 2003. For next year, Kincaid is traveling around the world.
"After I got back from studying abroad my sophomore year, my goals and my perspectives on things had changed. I wanted to spend time traveling," Kincaid said.
Kincaid's travels start in September with friends in Australia. She then plans to work in New Zealand for three months, travel through Asia, Africa and Europe, then return home in time for her teaching internship in the fall.
"Who knows what will happen, but I don't feel ready to teach, and I have this travel bug that I need to get rid of." Kincaid said.
The people around Kincaid daily see her as hardworking and motivated.
Jill Bradshaw, Overland Park junior, tried to convince Kincaid to slip a few hours of fun into her grueling schedule of 20 hours last semester.
KIMBERLY THOMPSON/KANSAN
"She motivated me to study because otherwise I felt lazy, but I reminded her to play as hard as she was working." Bradshaw said.
Senior Christi Balderston, Shawnee Mission senior, is another student who will be donning her robe early this May.
"Christi has always been an incredible student who excels at everything," junior Rachel Adams said.
Adams has been a friend of Balderson since the first grade. When Balderson came back to school
Lindsay Kincaid, Overland Park senior, is graduating early from the University. She's going to travel to Australia in September, followed by work in New Zealand.
engaged last fall, Adams was not surprised she had also decided to graduate early.
Balderton's boyfriend of four and a half years, Danny Bartlett, is a sophomore at Emporia State and their wedding is set for this June.
"Talk of engagement motivated me to finish early and I am looking for a job in Emporia for next year," Balderston said. "I have a lot of friends getting married too, so I think they can relate to me."
Adams is excited for Balderston's future plans and thinks Balderston has made a good decision.
"I think Christi was here for school and now she and Dannv can start their life together."

Graduation mistakes occur rarely
By Becky McClelland Jayplay writer
It's a senior's worst nightmare. The cap and gown are bought, invitations are sent, but there won't be a degree.
After spending four years or more—working toward graduation, being told you have to wait might seem like a disaster. But Pamela Houston, director of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Undergraduate Services, said this did not happen often and it was preventable.
"The real problems, the real surprises, are very rare," Houston said. "I know students get very paranoid, worrying that they won't graduate. We have students who come in every week to check that everything is OK."
For those who aren't graduating, here are a few precautions you can take to make sure you aren't one of the few unlucky ones.
1. Make an appointment with a graduation counselor one semester before you expect to graduate. They can tell you if anything needs to happen, and you'll still have time to take a class if you need it. It's always better to find out you need another humanities course in October than in March when it's too late.
2. Ask lots of questions. If something doesn't make sense, it might not be right, and the earlier you ask, the less stressful it will be.
3. If you aren't sure about something an adviser said, get a second opinion, and get it in writing. Many things need approval from more than one office, and getting it in writing will make sure everyone has the story straight.
4. Last but not least, pay attention to deadlines and what the catalog says about your specific major.
Houston said there were some situations hat required more attention than others.
"Transfer students are a challenge," she said.
The information a student gets when going through admissions isn't always the same as what you get once you're enrolled, and it's the latter information that matters. Some students take an admissions counselor's word about something, when more documents or information might be needed.
Most importantly, the administration doesn't want a student to stay any longer than they have to. The ARTS form system has been in place for about 16 years, and has worked flawlessly most of the time, officials say.
"When the University makes a mistake, we don't penalize the student for that mistake," Houston said. "We walk a thin line between being helpful in hard situations and letting the integrity of the degree be diminished."

Student departs University early for Nashville city limits
By CJ Jackson
Special to the Kansan
Not everyone who leaves Lawrence after graduation on May 19 will be doing so because they have graduated — or even because they are done pursuing their education.
Evan Levine, Leawood sophomore, is leaving Lawrence without a degree and plans to transfer to Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn.
He has spent his life in and around the Kansas City area. Although he said he would always see the University of Kansas as a part of him, as he approaches his 21st birthday, Levine said he thought it was time to get serious about what he really wanted to do.
Levine has been playing guitar since he was 10 years old. His dream is to become a successful
professional musician and he said KU was not the best place for him to pursue his goal.
"Simply put, the opportunities for success in the field of music are not great in Lawrence and — more generally — the Midwest," Levine said. "Although I'm not a country artist, Nashville is fast becoming a diverse music market where I think I can succeed."
Levine's mother, Nancy Levine, said she had mixed feelings about her son's decision to leave KU, but she was happy for him.
"I think going to Belmont is better for what he wants to pursue," Nancy Levine said. "I wish he wasn't this far away, but I feel KU gave him a good foundation."
Despite deciding to continue his academic future elsewhere, Evan Levine said he felt he was graduating in a sense.
"It's my time to go," he said. "I don't have a diploma, but I've learned a lot about people, and I've gotten what I wanted to get out of my experiences at KU."
Levine said he would miss the friends he had made at KU and his family. But he said KU may be a stepping stone toward a bigger future.
"My time at KU helped me mature to the point where I was able to move away from home, and the time I've spent here will always have a place in my heart," he said. "But I feel like I've hit the ceiling here at KU, as far as my career goes. I've gone as far as I can go in this environment, and now it's time to see what happens."

Board game depicts inner-city life
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Picture yourself as an 18-year-old black male, trying to make it out of the ghetto.
You try to stay out of trouble, hoping not to become another statistic. You want to do the right thing. But there are so many pitfalls — drugs, crime, teen pregnancy.
This is real life — and the theme of a controversial new board game.
It's called Life as a Black Man, and in recent weeks, the game's creator, Chuck Sawyer, has found himself defending the premise to African-Americans who think it trivializes the plight of inner-city blacks.
"Literally, all the controversy comes from people prejudging the game," says the 33-year-old Sawyer, himself an African-American. "Black or white, they have preconceived notions about what the game is. But once they see it and play it, they change their perception."
At first glance, the game appears to be no different than Monopoly or Life. There's a multicolored board, dice, game pieces and playing cards. Then it becomes more than your ordinary game. Each player assumes the role of an 18-year-old black male trying to make it from four starting points: the ghetto, the military, the entertainment industry and a black university. Each is trying to make it to "freedom." or success.
The road is littered with real life obstacles African-Americans face each day, including racial profiling and discrimination.
Land on a "Racism" space, and you might pull a card that says you will miss your next two turns because you were "stopped and harassed by racist cops."
Land ona "Ghetto" space and you might pull a card that Sawyer says truly illustrates the point of the game: You get shot in a drive-by shooting - game over.
The game has picked up a lot of publicity this month, particularly with Sawyer's public television appearances.

Fifth year might make sense
Some students find taking their time is not a bad idea
By Donovan Atkinson Jayplay writer
In the recent movie National Lampoon's Van Wilder, the title character is a source of jokes and gags because he has been in college for seven years. However, for some University of Kansas students, taking more than four years to graduate is a reality not to be taken lightly.
"People ask things like, 'So you're graduating?' and it's like, 'Nope,' said David Green, Salina senior.
Green, a biochemistry and psychology major, is currently in his fifth year at the University and has no regrets about prolonging graduation.
"I wanted to double major," he said. "And that really takes an extra year."
Green said that there was a social pressure to graduate in four years, but if a student is not sure what he or she wanted to do, an
extra year can provide time to make decisions.
Barbara Schwen, professor of chemistry, said many students use an extra year or two to gain more experience or take advantage of academic opportunities.
"We have one student getting two degrees from the College [of Liberal Arts and Sciences], a B.S. in chemistry and a B.A. in Spanish." Schowen said.
She said that the student had recently returned from a year in England on scholarship.
"She wouldn't have been able to get two degrees and have that experience in four years," she said.
Often, students apply for graduate school in the fall of their senior year, meaning that they need to be sure of what they want to do by their junior year.
Schowen said that she had seen students who had stayed in school for an extra year who seemed more sure of their long-term plans.
Green shared a similar view. He was not sure what he wanted to do when he first started college, but he knew that he wanted to make the most of the experience.
"College is a fun place with lots
"Students should expect to be here for four years, and if it turns out that they're here for more, that's fine." Barbara Schowen
Barbara Schowen professor of chemistry
of opportunities," Green said. "It's a unique time in life. You have the opportunity to interact with people that you wouldn't have the chance to after you graduate."
Though Schowen can see the advantages that an extra year in college can offer, she does not think that students should come to the University with five years in mind.
"I don't necessarily advocate for that to be the original plan," she said. "Students should expect to be here for four years, and if it turns out that they're here for more, that's fine."

Is bigger really better? For dinosaurs, big worked well for millions of years. Now *Dinotopia* is touting its own bigness of scope and expense (six hours, $80 million), all deployed for a TV genre that's following the dinosaurs into extinction; the miniseries extravaganza.
This fantasy-adventure, beginning Sunday at 7 p.m. EDT on ABC, tells of two teen-age brothers who, after a plane crash, find themselves castaways on a lost continent where humans and dinosaurs peacefully coexist. (No Jurassic Park, this!)
Based on the bestsellers by James Gurney, Dinotopia features Tyron Leitso and Wentworth Miller as the lads, along with such notable dinosaur
creations as Zippo — a huge, multilingual Stenonychosaurus—and adorable little 26.
Beware of those mean old carnivores in Waterfall City as Dinotopia continues Monday and Tuesday at 8 p.m.
Other shows to watch, or watch out for:
Celebrate Mother's Day on the WE (Women's Entertainment) cable network with Rock 'n Moms, a documentary profiling women musicians who have progressed from rock to motherhood and found a balance between the two. The one-hour film, which airs Sunday at 8 p.m., features interviews with Pat Benatar and her daughter Haley (lead singer of the girl group Glo), as well as Michelle Phillips, the mother of Wilson-Phillips star Chynna Phillips,
and sisters Nancy and Ann Wilson of Heart.
It's a long-ago world that Mary turned on with a smile. Now, 25 years after the Mary Tyler Moore Show ended its seven-season run, Moore reunites with fellow cast members Ed Asner, Valerie Harper, Gavin MacLeod, Betty White, Cloris Leachman and Georgia Engel for a one-hour reunion special Monday at 10 p.m. There's a tribute to the late Ted Knight, who regularly stole the show as pompous anchorman Ted Baxter.
Another worthy get-together comes tonight. No fewer than 10 principals from TV's 4077th are back for The M-A-S-H 30th Anniversary Reunion celebrating the 11-season run of the beloved comedy. It airs on Fox at 8.
He wanted to be remembered for his human-rights record and legacy of a Great Society. Instead, Lyndon B. Johnson became the symbol of an unpopular war that he never wanted to wage. Path to War is the inside story of how advisers to the Johnson administration persuaded the president to pour money and men into Vietnam in 1965, and how these same advisers couldn't figure out a way to end the war once it became clear that their strategies had failed. Directed by John Frankenheimer, this HBO film stars Michael Gambon, Donald Sutherland, Bruce McGill, James Frain, Felicity Huffman and Alec Baldwin. It airs tomorrow at 8 p.m.
'X-Files' star faces end of long-running series
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — After nine years of playing the skeptic on The X-Files, Gillian Anderson is having trouble accepting one last cosmic truth: the drama's end.
"I think on the whole I'm in denial," Anderson said. "There was a point last week when I was driving home from work at about 1 o'clock in the morning and I tried to imagine myself making that trip, imagine it was the last night."
Anderson, 33, who plays scientifically minded Dana Scully on the FoxTV series about alien-hunting, paranormal crime-busting FBI agents, was interviewed shortly before filming wrapped.
Both she and her character have changed since its 1993 debut, the actress said. Co-star David Duchovny, 41, left the series last year but returns in the final, two-hour episode airing at 7 p.m. Sunday, May 19.
"I started out as a kid. I started out as a 24-year-old, pretending I was 29, and then becoming 29, getting into my 30s and having to grow up myself," she said "And the character shifted gradually over time alongside my own maturing process."
Anderson married, divorced and had a daughter, Piper, now 7, during the series' run. She also became a sci-fi siren, with legions of fans and magazine cover stories such as one in Details headlined "Lust in Space with Gillian Anderson."
She has successfully resisted being typecast. The film roles she managed to squeeze in during her "X-Files" years include an early 1900s society woman in "The House of Mirth" and an unlucky-in-love career woman in "Playing by Heart."
This fall, the theater-trained Anderson will appear in the new Michael Weller play "What the Night is For" in London. First, however, she plans some serious relaxation and travel, part of her recuperation from "The X-Files."
"It was physically, emotionally, psychologically exhausting," she said of the show that revealed in demanding action and complex plots. "Co-stars would come on, work with us for the 10 days and say 'Are you out of your mind?' They would be dragging themselves out of their trailer.
ABC faces ratings woes as it unveils new lineup
The Associated Press
NEWYORK — Susan Lyne doesn't think of herself as an exhibitionist.
"The first on his feet to make a toast at a wedding? That's not me," she said.
Yet on Tuesday, Lyne will claim the stage of Broadway's New Amsterdam Theater to unveil ABC's 2002-03 prime-time lineup before a packed house of ad buyers at the network's annual "upfront" presentation.
Heightening the drama, her audience is all too aware of what Lyne — just four months into her tenure as president of ABC Entertainment — is up against with this. her first schedule.
ABC is hurting almost any way you cut it, any night of the week. This season, it has been third in total viewers, down one-quarter from a year ago when it was tied with CBS for first. Among advertisers' most sought-after viewers — 18- to 49-year-olds — ABC ranks a miserable fourth.
A revenue swoon at corporate parent Walt Disney Co. hasn't brightened the mood at ABC, where Lyne, replacing the axed Stuart Bloomberg, is the fourth Entertainment president in five years.
assure everyone that ABC's fall shows will put the network on the road to recovery. And to persuade shrewd ad buyers to climb aboard.
In the short term, the network's woes can be explained by its overreliance on Who Wants to be a Millionaire, which vaulted ABC to No.1 for the 1999-2000 season. While Millionaire blazed, ABC fiddled, content to overlook problems in its schedule that were masked by its hot new game show.
Lyne said ABC also was suffering from a larger identity crisis.
So Lyne's task next week is to
Until a few years ago, "the basic footprint of ABC was pretty clear," she said. "From 8 to 9 p.m.you found family comedies, and from 9 to 11 a mix of somewhat more sophisticated comedies, great franchise dramas, and lighter hours like Moonlighting and Fantasy Island. Beginning in the mid-'90s, we began veering from that. We need to re-establish the ABC brand." Lyne said.
Compare ABC's situation to that of NBC. Despite problems on Tuesday and Sunday nights and the post-Friends half-hour Thursday, NBC leads in every major ratings category. It needs to introduce no more than six new series.
Music writer Otis Blackwell dies at 70 of heart attack
The Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Otis Blackwell, who wrote the signature hits Don't Be Cruel for Elvise Presley and Great Balls of Fire for Jerry Lee Lewis, has died. He was 70.
Blackwell suffered an apparent heart attack Monday night and was pronounced dead on arrival at Saint Thomas Hospital, hospital spokesman Paul Lindsey said.
"I wrote, went home
and prayed." Otis Blackwell songwriter
Blackwell wrote more than 1,000 songs, including Return to Sender and All Shook Up recorded by Presley. Breathless by Lewis, Handy Man by James Taylor and Fever by Peggy Lee. Ray Charles, Billy Joel, The Who and Otis Redding were among those who recorded his songs.
"I wrote, went home and prayed," Blackwell said in an Associated Press interview in 1989. "It makes me feel wonderful for other people to do my songs and have them still be around."
He was credited with writing songs that sold more than 185 million copies.
Blackwell, born in New York City began working as a penny-a-day floor sweeper at a theater and later as a clothes presser.
While recording songs for a small company, he was asked to write songs as well. "I was thrown into it," Blackwell said.
Blackwell often sang the songs himself before they were recorded, and some music historians believe his style influenced Presley, who died in 1977.
Blackwell never met Presley and said in 1989 their relationship was best kept at a distance: "We had just a great thing going and I just wanted to leave it alone."

The Associated Press
NEW YORK—At age 50, with an amazing three-decade rock 'n' roll resume under his guitar strap, Nils Lofgren feels like he's 17 again.
Which, as Lofgren explains, is both a blessing and a curse.
"I'm kind of a pirate, with no industry or radio support whatsoever," he says by phone from his part-time home in Maryland. "I'm back in the streets, like when I ran away to Greenwich Village as a teen-ager."
Ah, the commercial curse. And now the more spiritual blessing ...
"Passion — thank God, you can't fake that," Lofgren says. "I've just grown up to love and value great music."
Lofgren is rock 'n' roll's Kevin Bacon—just a few degrees of separation from some of the finest music of the last 30 years.
He played with Neil Young and Crazy Horse in the 70s. He joined Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band in the 80s. And he toured with Ringo Starr in the 90s.
"I understand," Lofgren says without a hint of bitterness. "I'm not young and pretty with a brand new marketable look. I don't begrudge anybody that."
He's played on albums by Branford Marsalis and Rod Stewart, and co-written songs with Lou Reed — not that it carries much weight with the major labels.
To promote his latest album, "Breakaway Angel," Lofgren has even created a Web site — a big step for a guy who doesn't have e-mail.
The album, with cover art from Hunter S. Thompson's accomplice Ralph Steadman.
features another collection of vintage Lofgren tunes. (Lofgren recently released another album, "Tuff Stuff," that features instruments he wrote for NFL announcer John Madden's annual "All-Madden Team" program.)
The music on "Breakaway Angel" ranges from a lengthy instrumental jam in "Puttin' Out Fires" to a cover of the Everly Brothers' "All I Have to Do Is Dream" to a dreamy "Heaven's Answer to Blue."
The songs reflect Lofgren's live shows, which is no surprise — 11 of the 14 vocals were done live in the studio, with some songs completed in a single take, he says.
"One of the nice things about not having a record company is not arguing with them for months about the album," Lofgren says. "These songs had a great feel. ... I rehearse enough to sing and play live in the studio."
One of his collaborations with Reed, "Driftin' Man," appears on the album.
Lofgren says that partnership began while the pair watched a Monday Night Football game between the Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys back in the late 70s. They decided Lofgren would write the music and Reed the lyrics. Lofgren sent along a cassette of 13 tunes, but didn't hear back from Reed for more than a month.
And then his phone rang at 5 a.m. It was Reed.
"He informed me that he'd been up for three days and nights, that he loved the tape, he'd completed 13 sets of lyrics, and would be happy to dictate them to me," Lofgren recalls. "I got a cup of coffee and a pencil."
It was far from Lofgren's first brush with greatness. As a teen, after dropping out of high
school, he snuck backstage to visit with Neil Young after a show in Washington. D.C.
Lofgren was planning a California trip with his band, Grin, and was looking for any bit of advice.
"He was very friendly and nice, got me a cheeseburger and a Coke — I was underage," Lofgren recalls. "Knowing I was going to Los Angeles, he told me to look him up when I got there."
A year later, Lofgren was playing piano and singing on Young's "After the Gold Rush." Grin released four albums that won critical praise before Lofgren launched his solo career in 1975.
He spent 20 years with "tunnel vision, no life but music, and no regrets." Now, with his wife, Amy, and stepson, Dylan, he leads a more balanced life—although music remains a priority.
"I'm trying to find my own way, with dignity," he says. "To keep my focus on being passionate about the music. I'm just a little bit wiser, a little more set in my ways."
Over the course of his career, Lofgren has glided effortlessly from front man to sideman. On the last Springsteen tour, he played before arena rock crowds — and often stole the show, at least for one song, with his brilliant solo on the Boss" "Younstown."
The crowds are smaller for Lofgren's solo gigs, but he works to ensure the intensity never flags.
"I take great pride in walking into any bar, anywhere, and making it a special night for the audience," he says. "That's my job."
Reviews bring attention to debut album
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — When Norah Jones was 11, her mother took her to a big-band jazz concert at the University of North Texas campus near their home. The college boys were cute, but Jones was transfixed by the one woman on stage.
"She had this blond ponytail and she looked so cool up there with all those guys," Jones said. "The music was really cool and it just seemed like an interesting world."
Barely a dozen years later, Jones is the cool one. She was drawn into that interesting world, and her debut disc, Come Away With Me, is attracting attention for its self-assured, sultry pop. She sounds a little like fellow Southernner Shelby Lynne — if Lynne were aiming to please a jazz audience.
With little radio airplay but some rapturous reviews, her disc has sold more than 160,000 copies and made Billboard's Top 40 albums, unusual for a release on the jazz-oriented Blue Note label.
"There's been so much overproduced junk out there for so long that when something like this comes out that's very pure, very direct and with a voice that will break your heart, people react to it," said Bruce Lundvall, Blue Note's president.
Jones listened to Bon Jovi and Nirvana growing up. But thanks to her mom's extensive music collection, she was also exposed to Billie Holliday, Etta James, Ray Charles and Bill Evans.
"Music came naturally to me," she said. "I knew that just from being in music classes my whole life; I would just sort of get it the first or second time. I've been very lucky."
Jones started singing publicly at age 16 in the Dallas area, and studied jazz piano for two years at North Texas.
She always wanted to make it in New York City, however, and headed north after her sophomore year. Jones waited and took whatever gigs she could find, earning $10 an hour to sing over chattering patrons in dreary bars.
Armed with a three-song tape of her work, Jones made a contact with a Blue Note accountant who set up an appointment with Lundvall.
The story has become instant legend at Blue Note. Lundvall was wearily expecting another Diana Krall sound-alike, but was blown away by what he heard. After blurting out one question, asking Jones where she was from, "I said, 'You're going to be signed to Blue Note Records.'"
Only once before, for singer Rachelle Ferrell a decade earlier, had he offered a contract to someone on the spot.
"I was just totally captivated by the voice."
he recalled. "It just drew you right in. My first impression was she didn't sound like anyone else, she has this wonderfully seductive voice and she plays a great piano."
Jones set to work recording her debut, but Lundvall rejected the first attempt. The music sounded too cluttered, and emphasized the guitar instead of Jones' voice.
He sent Jones back into the studio, this time with veteran producer Arif Mardin. The result was a disc that left more room for the music to breathe, emphasizing the piano with a few other instrumental touches.
Jones was moving beyond jazz in the music she and her band were writing and performing. Jazz inflections remained a part of her work, but it's safe to assume few Blue Note artists ever cut a cover of Hank Williams' 'Cold Heart.'
"I started putting my own songs in and my songs didn't sound like jazz songs," she said. "They sounded like country songs."
That was her Texas upbringing talking. Jones said label executives, thinking they had signed a jazz artist, were taken aback by her change in direction. Lundvall said it was the production of her first recordings, not the music itself, that he had objected to.
Meredith Vieira named 'Millionaire' host
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Deciding against regular early wake-up calls at CBS, Meredith Vieira will stay on ABC's The View for five more years and be host of the syndicated version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
The former 60 Minutes newswoman was considered a potential successor to Bryant Gumbel at The Early Show and parlayed that interest into a handsome payday.
Terms were not disclosed. One source close to the talks, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Vieira could earn about $5 million a year, a jump from her reported $500,000 salary from doing The View alone.
Vieira, was reluctant to take on the early-morning hours. The View airs live at 1 a.m.
Eastern and "Millionaire" episodes will tape once a week in the afternoon.
"The View fits my lifestyle and will continue to," Vieira said on Tuesday.
Davies said he was interested in Vieira after the prime-time host, Regis Philbin, turned the job down. But he said there was resistance among ABC executives and he then approached Rosie O'Donnell, who also turned it down.
The syndicated, half-hour Millionaire game begins next fall. It will be faster-paced with harder questions and eliminate the fastest-finger qualification round, said executive producer Michael Davies.
But after CBS expressed interest in Vieira and ABC knew it would have to pay to keep her, any resistance melted away. Asked if CBS' courtship helped her get the Millionaire job, Vieira said, "I don't know and I don't care."
Davies praised her sense of humor and ability to relate to everyone. "Millionaire is about real people, being real, and that goes for the host as well," he said.
Vieira, nominated for a Daytime Emmy for her role on The View, announced her decision on the air on Tuesday, with co-hosts Barbara Walters, Joy Behar, Star Jones and Lisa Ling looking on.
Red Lyon Tavern
"I love the show," Vieira said. "I loved it from the very beginning. I think it's fun and smart and good family entertainment."
ABC was able to make the complicated deal because it produces The View and owns Buena Vista Television, producer of the syndicated Millionaire.

'Millionaire' producers want to limit airtime
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — With television networks poised to announce their fall plans next week, Michael Davies finds himself in a rare position: a producer begging ABC to keep his show OFF the schedule.
Davies said he wanted to focus viewers' attention on the half-hour syndicated Millionaire that will start in September. Meredith Vieira was named as that show's host on Tuesday.
Davies, executive producer of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, said Tuesday he was lobbying ABC to return the show to its roots as a periodic special aired several nights in a row.
The game show with Regis Philbin as host currently airs twice a week, a mere shadow of the ratings jugernault it once was.
A spokesman for ABC's entertainment division, Kevin Brockman, said executives were in the midst of screening potential new series and wouldn't comment on its scheduling choices. ABC announces its schedule on May 14.
ABC's prime-time struggles may make it hard to grant Davies' wishes. The network has lost about a quarter of its prime-time audience this season and is likely to have a schedule full of holes.
Millionaire represents an easy, inexpensive alternative.
Millionaire averages 10.4 million viewers this season on Monday nights, ranking 42nd among prime-time shows. The Thursday edition averages 9.7 million viewers and is ranked 58th, according to Nielsen Media Research.
That's a stunning drop from the previous season, when the show aired four times a week, each episode averaging 17 million to 20.1 million.
During the 1999-2000 season, three editions of Millionaire were the three highest-rated shows of the year. Each averaged between 27.1 million and 28.5 million viewers a week. ABC was the primetime ratings champ. It's now a distant third to NBC and CBS.
Most critics believe Millionaire sank from overuse, and the tendency to air too many celebrity editions instead of using real people with the chance to make a big score.
All six broadcast networks announce their fall schedules next week, starting with NBC on Monday. Hollywood is filled with anxious producers awaiting the verdicts of network executives.
A handful of once popular shows are on the fence to return next year, including Providence on NBC and Dharma & Greg on ABC.
Performers gather to celebrate composer
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON--They call it Camp Sondheim.The biggest collection of musical-theater performers this side of New York, stage folk who will be spending their summer vacations on the banks of the Potomac River.
"It's like a Who's Who of Broadway," enthuses Michael Kaiser, head of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, which is producing a four-month salute to composer Stephen Sondheim. Six Sondheim musicals — "Sweeney Todd," "Company," "Sunday in the Park With George," "Passion," "Merrily We Roll Along" and "A Little Night Music" — are being done in repertory through Aug. 25 at the Center's Eisenhower Theatre.
To cast the shows, Kaiser has hired scores of performers, from New York as well as from the local Washington theater scene.
"It it has established a certain esprit de corps — wanting to be part of it," he said.
Kaiser gives a lot of credit to Brian Stokes Mitchell and Christine Baranski, who were the first major performers to sign onto the project. "It made it OK for others to say. 'We'll do it, too,'" he said.
Mitchell and Baranski star in the festival's opening attraction, "Sweeney Todd," he as the vengeful title character, she as Mrs. Lovett, his willing assistant in murderous deeds. Others in the cast include Hugh Panero, Celia Keenan-Bolger, Walter Charles, and Mary Beth Piel.
Baranski, a veteran stage performer best known for her role on
television's "Cybill," has met Mrs. Lovett before, in a concert adaptation in Los Angeles, and she wanted to do the show again.
"I'm glad I did that concert version because I don't think I would have been offered this had not Steve seen me in it in LA," she said. "I mostly don't do musicals."
Mitchell, known for his appearances on Broadway in such shows as "Jelly's Last Jam," "Ragtime," "Kiss Me, Kate" and "King Hedley II," said he always wanted to do "Sweeney Todd."
"It's my favorite musical and I love this role," Mitchell said. "I've sung a lot of Sondheim, but I have never done a whole Sondheim show. This feels like a history-making event, especially doing it here at the Kennedy Center."
A partial listing of the casts for the remaining five shows:
"Company," May 17-June 29: John Barrowman plays perpetual bachelor Bobby. Also in the musical Lynn Redgrave, Emily Skinner, Alice Ripley, Jerry Lanning, Matt Bogart.
"Sunday in the Park With George," May 31-June 28: Raul Esparza, Melissa Errico, Jason Gilbert. Florence Lacev.
"Merrily We Roll Along," July 13-Aug. 24: Michael Hayden, Raul Esparza, Emily Skinner, Anastasia Barzee, Miriam Shor.
"Passion." July 19-Aug. 23:
Judy Kuhn, Michael Cerveris,
Brebcca Luker.
"A Little Night Music," Aug. 2- Aug. 25: Blair Brown, John Dossett, Barbara Bryne, Randy Graff, Sarah Uriate Berry, Natascia Diaz, Danny Gurwin.
Lauryn Hill changes style
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Lauryn Hill was on top of the music world with herlast album."The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" wowed critics, sold 6 million copies, earned five Grammys and influenced an entire school of new soul singers.
Wait till you hear what she's done next.
On her new album, due in stores Tuesday, Hill dramatically changes her style, intersperses songs with sermons and doesn't hide a raspy voice. It instantly becomes one of the most baffling career moves in music history.
When released four years ago, the solo debut by the former member of the rap trio the Fugees was praised for its incisive lyrics and groundbreaking synthesis of rap and soul. It won the 1999 Grammy for album of the year.
The music industry is closely watching to see whether fans view "MTV Unplugged 2.0" as brave or crazy, and whether it torpedoes a promising career.
So MTV was excited last summer when Hill approached with the idea of taping a version of its long-running "Unplugged" series, said Tom Calderone, senior vice president of music and talent programming.
Hill came armed only with an acoustic guitar. She sang none of her hits, instead debuting all new songs in a folk style. She spoke at length about personal and artistic problems between the songs.
MTV aired a one-hour edited version of her performance last week, and its spinoff MTV2 channel has shown the whole thing. The album is an unadorned recording of the entire concert.
Calderone called it a "bold move in a day when album releases and videos are calculated, strategized and analyzed."
Yet the initial critical reaction is mixed, at best.
Jim Farber of The New York Daily News wrote that the disc "sounds as though it should have been called 'Lauryn Hill: Unglued.'"
"She's giving Alanis Morissette a run for her money in the self-indulgence department," Farber wrote. "Both mistake disclosure for revelation, and bald experience for good art. What's missing from Hill's equation are matters like craft and presentation."
USA Today gave the album 31/2 stars out of four, however, with writer Steve Jones praising Hill's courageousness and saying her "willingness to expose herself without the safety net of a supporting band, popular hits or studio wizardry says a lot about the depth of her artistry."
The album includes nine spoken-word interludes. One, where Hill talks about a trip to Disney World, stretches beyond 12 minutes.
The songs generally run long, too. Critic Alexis Petridis in the British newspaper The Guardian wrote that the song, "I Gotta Find Peace of Mind" "would still be going on right now, if Hill had not necessitated its conclusion by suddenly bursting into tears."
Hill is not giving interviews about her work because "she's trying to keep the connection between the music and the listeners as pure as possible," a spokesman said.
Miguel Baguer, a spokesman for Columbia Records, said the label was "more than happy" to release the album. He noted "Miseducation" broke a lot of rules, too.
The album's spoken passages give a road map to Hill's state of mind. "The view is that I'm emotionally unstable, which is reality," she says at one point.
Hill talks about feeling like a prisoner in her own career. It took a long time for her to show the audience the kind of person she really is, she says.
While fans may drift away, they won't desert her, said Emil Wilbekin, editor in chief of Vibe magazine.
New York's 'MoMA' has moved
"People came back to Whitney Houston," he said. "People came back to Madonna. People came back to Cher. People will come back to her."
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The building, painted a startling blue, is a huge nearly windowless box. In the dreary Queens industrial neighborhood where it stands, the giant blue square is a splash of life in an otherwise gray urban landscape.
A jumble of blocks on the building's roof gives the only hint at what is inside. But you'll need to ride the No. 7 train from Manhattan to see what the blocks spell. A carefully planned optical illusion allows painted lines on the blocks seem to magically align to read "MoMA."
As of June 29, the former factory will be the temporary home of the Museum of Modern Art, housing one of the world's most famous collections of modern art.
It's very different from MoMAs familiar midtown Manhattan digs, with its leafy sculpture garden and elegant minimalist facade, which will be closed from May 21 until 2005 for a $650 million expansion project.
However, MoMA QNS, as the bright blue box is called, in some ways puts the modern back in the Modern.
"This is probably one of the most exciting things we've done since we were founded," said Glenn Lowry, director of the museum that first opened its doors 72 years ago.
For now, though, the museum is grappling with the daunting task of moving its collection more than 100,000 paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, photographs, architectural models and drawings. MoMA also owns some 14,000 films, and 140,000 books and periodicals.
"We're probably talking about ...somewhere near a thousand different trips by truck to complete
the job." Lowry said. "Basically, we're moving almost 24 hours a day. We take advantage of every moment of the day and night."
The move began in early March and is a third of the way done, he said.
Including preparers, curators, registrars, conservators, loaders and others, 50 to 100 people are involved with the move at any given time, said Ramona Bannayan, the museum's director of collections management and exhibition registration.
But not all the works are making the move. Fifteen of the
museum's sculptures have found a temporary home at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. Such works as Rodin's "Monument to Balzac" and Giacometti's "Tall Figure III" will stay in Brooklyn until MOA's sculpture garden is again ready to receive them.
Besides direct bus and subway access from Manhattan, a shuttle bus will be available to take visitors from midtown to MoMA QNS and other cultural destinations in Queens.
To help entice visitors over the bridge, MoMA QNS is set to open with three major shows.
"Collection Highlights" showcases MoMA's holdings, including Pablo Picasso's "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon." "Tempo" looks at contemporary art from around the world, and "AUTOBodies" features the newest additions to MoMA's car collection.

Museum shows Native American art
PALO ALTO, Calif. — When a group of New England explorers set sail more than 200 years ago, they brought back souvenirs from the indigenous people they encountered, hoping to inspire later generations.
Founded in 1799, the East India Marine Society had gathered so many baskets, masks, blankets, headdresses, weapons and other American Indian items that they established a museum in Salem, Mass., 26 years later just to keep it all.
The Peabody Essex Museum now has more than 20,000 pieces in its Native American collection, and can display only a fraction of them — one of several injustices curators of a new exhibit at Stanford University are hoping to counteract.
A hundred items collected from the indigenous peoples of North and South America are included in "Uncommon Legacies: Native American Art From the Peabody Essex Museum," on view through Aug. 11 at the Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Center for Visual Arts.
Rarely seen treasures from the 17th through 20th centuries include headdresses of blue and red macaw plumes worn by Brazilian chiefs, and a Chilkat goat wool blanket depicting clan symbols that initially could only be made or worn by wealthy Tlingit people of the Pacific Northwest Coast.
The show also tries to erase stereotypes and ethnocentric viewpoints by depicting the everyday lives of Indians a centuries ago, said Tom Haukaas, a Lakota artist from the Rosebud Sioux reservation in South Dakota who consulted on the show.
Marine Society members collected pipes, clubs and other symbols of warfare. However, for this exhibit, Haukass and other Indian consultants made a point of including such items as hats, baskets, food ladles and a baby carrier made by Plains tribes in 1850s.
Early marine society members, on the other hand, apparently saw themselves as bold adventurers exploring dark corners of the globe.
One of several early American maritime groups, the society had a unique purpose: form a museum of natural artifacts from beyond the Cape of Good Hope of South Africa and Cape Horn of South America. To be a member, marine men had to sail around both continents.
The seaafarers met inhabitants of the Amazon forests while trading for rubber in South America. Guano and silver trades brought them to Peru, and a need for lumber drew them into northern New England and Canada. The furtrade — particularly sea otter pelts in demand in China — was the attraction in the Pacific Northwest.
The indigenous people soon saw a way to make money off the visitors, creating items solely to be traded, such as human face masks and black argillite smoking pipes made by the Haida, said John Grimes, the Native American Indian curator at the Peabody Essex.
The marine men kept detailed records, although they more often recorded their own feelings than the customs they encountered, said those who have studied their journals.
"We were trying to de-romanticize, to show the breadth of our cultures and still present pieces of great aesthetic appeal," Haukau said. "Reality is sitting at home."

Bad girl turns to good girl in role in 'The New Guy'
100
Eliza Dushku stars in The New Guy as Danielle, a good girl, who falls in love with Dizzy Harrison, played by DJ Qualls. Dushku was surprised she got the role, because she usually played bad girls.
Knight Ridder Newspapers
CONTRIBUTED ART
DETROIT — Nancy Reagan would be so darned proud of Eliza Dushku.
"You just have to learn to say no," says the dusky Dushku, who orders nothing stronger than tea in the oaky dark of the Townsend Hotel bar. Dushku is not talking about the drugs and other temptations that are everywhere in young Hollywood. She's referring to the directors who would give her a role in their new movie if she would only do a nude scene, or the art directors who would put her on the magazine's cover if she would just take her top off.
Dushku was spending a day in Detroit last week to promote The New Guy, a teen comedy in which the former Buffy the Vampire Slayer sociopath gets a major makeover: She plays the good girl, of all things.
Dushku said she thought director Ed Dector must have confused her with some other actress when he asked her to play Danielle, the popular girlfriend of a high school jock who finds herself falling for the new kid in school, a skinny geek who is transformed into a cool dude with some help from a career criminal.
She got her first movie role, in 1992's little-seen That Night, playing a 10-year-old who idolizes the free-spirited teenager
(Juliette Lewis) living across the street. (The film features Dushku's only semi-nude scene — one in which she and two preteen friends apply a bust-enhancing cream to their chests.)
The next year, she was cast in This Boy's Life as the daughter of Robert De Niro and the stepsister of young Leonardo DiCaprio.
After enrolling at Suffolk University in Boston, she was offered the role of Faith, the tough new girl in Sunnydale who forms an
amance with Buff on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Dushku stayed with the show for two seasons, then reprised the character in three episodes of the spinoff Angel.
Dushku moved from Buffy to the hip teen movie Bring It On, playing the Goth gymnast recruited by Kirsten Dunst for the cheerleading squad. From there, it was on to The New Guy, another teen flick, for which she makes no apologies.
Is Star Wars hype overblown?
By David Germain AP Movie Writer
LOS ANGELES — Its last installment proved a critical disappointment. Once the trendsetter on visual effects, it lost out in that category to an edgy upstart at the Academy Awards the last time around. Surrounded by fresh-faced film serials, it no longer holds clear claim as the year's most anticipated movie.
Star Wars may have rusted a bit in the 25 years since Luke, Han, Leia and Obi-Wan blasted into theaters. Yet as Star Wars: Episode II — Attack of the Clones arrives next week, George Lucas' creation remains the Cadillac of film franchises, the surest sure thing that a blockbuster-minded movie industrv can deliver.
Its previous chapters account for four of the top 13 grossing movies of all-time domestically. Fans camp out at theaters a month or more before a Star Wars film opens to be first in line to see it.
And consider Star Wars: Episode I—The Phantom Menace. After waiting 16 years for the first prequel to the original trilogy, audiences almost universally found something to deride in Phantom Menace, a critical dud that sacrificed story to special effects and introduced the loathed buffoon Jar Jar Binks.
What other film franchise could produce a mediocre movie that disappoints the most loyal fans yet still rakes in more than
$900 million worldwide and
$431 million in the United States
and Canada alone?
"Sure, the last movie was not what people hoped it would be," said Barrie Osborne, a producer on "The Lord of the Rings" franchise and executive producer on "The Matrix," which beat "Phantom Menace" on visual effects and two other categories at the Oscars for 1999.
"But I think everyone will want to see the new Star Wars. It's something we all grew up with, and the whole body of work is more powerful than any one of the films. This powerful, mythic story George originated way back still captures the imagination, and people want to see what happens next."
What happens next sounds more promising than Phantom Menace, with early buzz from people who have seen "Attack of the Clones" hinting that it's a better film. Even the cast is more enthusiastic this time.
"I really love it. I personally like this film a lot better," said Natalie Portman, who returns as Padme Amidala, reunited with her Jedi pals Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) and the now grown Anakin Skwalker (Hayden Christensen).
"I get really bored in action movies, but I was at the edge of my seat with my mouth open," said Portman, who saw the finished film last weekend. "It's so gorgeous. It's got a great story, a real arc. You really care about the characters."
In the past, Star Wars sequels
or prquelts clearly were the film events of the year. Given the record opening of "Spider-Man" and anticipation for this fall's Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings sequels, Star Wars now has heavy competition for the title of most hotly awaited movie.
Unlike the 3,000-theater-plus launches of today's Hollywood, with its fixation on huge opening weekends, the original Star Wars premiered on just 32 screens on Wednesday, May 25, 1977. The procedure then often was to start slowly, letting positive buzz on a film spread as the release widened to more theaters.
It worked perfectly on Star Wars, which distributor 20th Century Fox expanded to 43 screens by that Friday, with the film grossing $1.55 million over the four-day Memorial Day weekend, according to box-office tracker Exhibitor Relations Co. Inc.
As it expanded, its total take during that initial run hit $221.3 million, the equivalent of about $560 million when the 1977 average ticket price of $2.23 is adjusted for inflation. Star Wars was such a phenomenon that it took in $101 million more in four reissues within just five years after its debut.
"That was the first movie I ever saw," said Ben Affleck, whose new film, The Sum of All Fears, opens two weeks after Attack of the Clones. Affleck, who turned 5 the summer Star Wars opened, said he cajoled his way into seeing it 17 times.

Online pharmacies endanger consumers
Knight Ridder Newspapers
NEW YORK — Highly addictive and potentially dangerous prescription drugs including powerful painkillers and tranquilizers, are being pushed and pedled by scores of Internet pharmacies.
The drugs, like Valium, Viagra, diet pills and steroids, are easily available to online consumers without a physician's examination or prescription.
Although regulatory authorities and law enforcement agencies are alarmed by the growing practice, in many cases they are either powerless or too confused to take action against cyberspace dealers.
Unmarked packages are sent through the mail, and the actual locations of the operations are often disguised and frequently changed, or split among several locations.
For customers, all that's necessary is a credit card, cash or money order for the drugs, along with a convenient online medical questionnaire.
Check off "constant pain" on the questionnaire and Percodan, Percocet, or hydrocordone - all addictive painkillers that can result in death with an overdose are dispensed.
Mark "sexual dysfunction" and Viagra -one of the biggest Internet sellers-is the automatic answer.
One site blatantly advertises that customers will get requested
drugs "even though they may violate the law of your country."
Patronizing the sites, even for legitimate reasons, is dangerous, authorities say. Adulterated drugs, drugs with too much or too little of the active ingredient, drugs that have expired, counterfeit drugs or no drugs at all, are all risks of dealing with the sites, said Tom McGinnis, director of pharmacy affairs for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Meanwhile, the online pharmacy Web sites are elaborately designed,easy to use,easy to find,and often indistinguishable from approved,legitimate sites run by nationally recognized pharmaceutical chains like CVS or Duane Reade.
In many cases, licensed physicians working with the sites theoretically review the online questionnaires before approving the shipments.
The Internet pharmacy business began to expand four years ago, with Viagra the lead seller.
Three years ago, there were congressional hearings and alarming testimony, but no laws were enacted.
Pharmacies and physicians are regulated by individual state agencies and several states either barred professionals from participating in the "no examination, no conventional prescription" business or condemned the practice.
Friends support suspect as thefts are investigated
The Associated Press
DALLAS — Andrew Hicken seemed like the typical Southern Methodist University student, living in the dorm with a roommate and partying at frat houses.
It wasn't until police investigated a series of fires and thefts at Shuttles Hall that they discovered Hicken wasn't a student. Instead of going to class, Hicken who has an extensive criminal record, sometimes went to a job remodeling kitchens.
Justin Briggs, 19, of Tulsa, who shared his room with Hicken. "You walk into any frat house and show his picture, and everyone will say, 'Hey, that's Andy. He's cool."
Although Hicken, 22, denies setting the fires and stealing from those he calls his friends, SMU police say his nonstudent status, an outstanding burglary warrant and past arrests quickly made him a suspect.
Hicken moved into Shuttles Hall in mid-February. SMU police
said Hicken's uncle made him move out because he was a bad influence on the uncle's children.
Briggs said he had an extra bed in his room because his roommate had moved out after the first semester. He said he thought that he could trust Hicken and that he wanted to help because he seemed to be down on his luck.
Thefts from unlocked rooms in Shuttles Hall increased not long after Hicken moved into the dorm, police records show. Before that, the most common problem reported in the dorm was students and staff getting stuck in the elevator.
Hicken was arrested in Utah on charges of using a weapon in a fight, receiving stolen property, burglary and burglary of a vehicle, according to records. He says he served some time in Utah, but adds that the arrests, all in 1998, were "dumb kid stuff."
Despite his criminal history and recent allegations, Hicken's dorm mates are standing up for him and
sav thev want to remain friends.
Several students — even freshman Tarryn Moodley of Houston, whose laptop was stolen — pitched in to raise $600 to pay a bondsman last month before learning that Hicken was being held without bail.
"He would have done the same for us," said Moodley, 19. "Everyone has things from their past. You can't judge a person by their past. You have to go on who they are now and who they'll be in the future."
The university has forbidden Briggs from living on campus next year. School policy states that residents can have a guest only three nights of the week unless approved by the roommate and hall director.
The fires that aroused suspicion about Hicken were extinguished before firefighters arrived April 9. Papers hanging on doors and bulletin boards were set on fire in three areas of the dorm.
SMU police arrested Hicken on April 11 on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in connection with the fires. He was held in the Dallas County Jail, but because SMU police did not file formal charges within 72 hours, he was released to authorities in Franklin County.
The Sheriff's Department there said Hicken was wanted in connection with the theft of a laptop computer and $1,000 from a doctor's office. A Franklin County deputy said the computer was recovered at a Greenville Avenue pawnshop.
His friends from SMU were planning to buy back the computer, but Hicken was arrested, Briggs said.
The computer, he said, belonged to Hicken and was not stolen.
Hicken has been given a criminal trespass warning and has been told to stay off campus, Capt. Snellgrove said.
Old Spice takes on towelettes
After nearly three weeks behind bars in Franklin County, where he was charged with burglary, Hicken was released on bond Thursday afternoon.
By Lenore Skenazy New York Daily News
Old Spice.
Just the name conjures up masculinity. Kinda . older masculinity. Maybe even grizzled.
Maybe even dead.
But no, turns out the 64-year-old aftershave and cologne is still the country's best-selling fragrance, and has been since its debut in 1938.
"It is the No. 1 selling fragrance in history," says Derek Bowen, Old Spice brand manager at Procter & Gamble. And now this venerable product is poised to conquer a whole new generation of red-blooded American males.
With wipies.
except thicker, quilted and impregnated (as it were) with masculine scents such as Old Spice Mountain Rush, Pure Sport and Fresh.
Towelettes. Wet naps. The kind of swabs you used to get with Kentucky Fried Chicken,
Somewhere, the ancient mariner is weeping — and so is the marlin on his wall.
While one can only respect a brand that has clearly captured, if not the American imagination, at least the American man from his Adam's apple up, there is something perverse about encouraging guys to start swabbing themselves sweet between showers. Between rest stops!
Could Jack Kerouac have hit the road tooting a tub of tow-lettes? Could Jack Nicholson?
Most men come equipped with sleeves, and that's sweat control aplenty. Can it be Procter & Gamble has never heard of pheromones, those hormones
that holler, "I'm male, I'm available and I'm close by — just ask your nose!"
Wines wine all that out
"Real men should not be 'freshening' themselves with perfumed wipies," fumes Scott Hildula, a dad in San Francisco. "In my day, you wore a circle in your wallet with a rolled up condom and a ring in your jeans from a can of snuff! I pity the sorry wimp who wears a hole in his pants pocket — probably Dockers — with a little perfumed packet."
Chris McLemore in Kansas is even more disturbed by the development.
“It's an encroachment on manhood,” he says. "The Old Spice audience is the hard-core, open-a-beer-with-your-eyesocket crowd. They wouldn't be caught dead with a fancied-up
towelette. It's like making A-1 Steak Sauce pink, or emblazoning the side of John Deere riding mowers with images of the Powerpuff Girls."
But over at Procter & Gamble, Bowen insists that so-called Cool Contact Refreshment Towelettes are something men have been clamoring for.
"Guys were looking for a way to better manage their sweat," says the Old Spice peddler. "Because actually, guys produce more sweat on their foreheads, backs and back of neck than they do in their underarms."
Whoa. I guess that's something I'd sort of suspected all along but never really researched. Now that somebody at P&G obviously has, we are all about to be re-educated about the sweating habits of the human male.
Christian band releases album
Knight Ridder Newspapers
On their new album, Obvious, the members of Plus One get down to brass tacks.
"The second album sounds a little more aggressive," said 20-year-old Nate Cole. "A little more grown up maybe."
Named 2001's New Artist of the Year by the Gospel Music Association, the boys have amped things up for their sophomore release — saying so long to super-slick pop and hello to guitar-driven melodies.
Plus One is made up of Cole, Nathan Walters, Gabe Combs, Jeremy Mhire and Jason Perry.
The Christian-music equivalent of the Backstreet Boys, the group caught fire two years ago with its debut CD, The Promise — an upbeat, harmonious joy
ride through faith, styled for the crowd who digs Backstreet,
'N'Sync and Britnev Spears.
With such sing-along tracks as "Written on my Heart," the album got lots of radio play. But Cole said the group's new release was more reflective of who the band really is: a crew of five young men who face the same problems their peers do.
He and other Plus One members wrote 10 of the 12 tracks while touring for their first album.
"We were learning as far as lyrically, that we really had a lot to say in our hearts," Cole said. "And it's good to be able to release some of that."
Taking a more direct approach to faith, "Obvious tackles specific issues that young adults deal with every day, such as the problem with gossip, not being overly
preach about one's beliefs and hypocrisy in the church.
The song "Start to Fly" finds the boys talking about the necessity of looking past the failings of people toward the love of God.
Cole said the band included the song after meeting people in the music industry who confessed that they had been burned by religion and were bitter about the experience.
"They are professing to be Christians," he said. "But in some ways they're just not down with the church thing because someone was hypocritical."
The musical change-up also prompted Plus One to tweak its stage show a bit, simplifying the hip-hop-inspired choreography of their last tour.
“It's a little more theatrical and not so intricate,” Cole said.

Rolling Stones announce tour
The rockers, whose tours have been among the top-grossing concerts ever, announced another junt around the world in grandiose fashion Tuesday, circling New York's sprawling Van Cortlandt Park in a yellow blimp embazoned with their red tongue trademark.
The Associated Press
"We had a very interesting first-time experience on the airship." Mick Jagger said after emerging from the blimp. "We had a really good time on it."
NEW YORK — The Rolling Stones staged an eye-popping spectacle that drew fans and media from around the globe — and they haven't even gone on tour yet.
The tour, their first since their top-grossing 1999 tour, will mark the band's 40th anniversary. It will kick off on Sept. 5 in Boston. According to the Rolling Stones official website, no date is planned for the band to tour in the Kansas City area.
When asked why the band was heading out once again — they haven't even begun working on new material for the album — Jagger joked: "Either we stay at home and become pillars of the community, or we go out and tour. We couldn't really find any communities that still needed pillars."
The tour is expected to rake in
millions of dollars. The Stones already hold the record for the highest-grossing concerttour ever with their 1994 tour, which brought in $121.2 million, according to Gary Bongiovanni of Pollstar, a concert magazine.
This time around, the band will play clubs as well as stadiums and arenas.
Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ron Wood looked as if they were having plenty of fun even before the news conference began. The foursome boarded the blimpat the park and circled the area for about 15 minutes before landing.
"Any year that they have toured, they have produced the biggest tour of that year," said Bongiovanni.
They had even more fun at the news conference, cracking jokes as reporters asked questions.
When one asked if they would do any songs from the past, Richards said: "The set list is a bit down the road. It just depends if we can remember them."
One reporter reminded Jagger about a 1972 comment — made "a couple of years after I was born," she noted — that he would rather die than still be singing "Satisfaction" at age40.
"How old are you going to be and when are you going to get sick of it?" she asked.
"Who knows if we're going to do 'Satisfaction' on this tour?" retorted the 58-year-old.
About 300 fans turned out for a chance to see the band, which formed in 1962.
"I wanted to be able to say that I saw their blimp come down," said Kathleen Wieblack, who came from suburban Long Island to the Bronx.
"I've seen the last three tours," said Richard Bell, who traveled from upstate New York. "Hopefully I will get tickets to see them."
Bongiovanni said unlike some aging rock bands, the Stones were able to outseil more contemporary bands because of "their ability to still stay vibrant and not be a classic rock act that just goes through the motions for a great pavaday."
Tour promoter Michael Cohl said tickets for the first few dates would goon sale this week. Prices will range from $50 to $100.
Among the opening acts:
Sheryl Crow, No Doubt, Buddy Guy and Jonny Lang.
The group has not released an album since 1998's "No Security" jagger put out his own solo disc last year, "Goddess in the Doorway", which was a commercial flop.
Jagger said the band was just beginning to work on new material for an upcoming greatest hits disc that would include new songs.

Student regrets shaving beard, enjoyed 'wise' look
OLIVER HALL — Jeremy Hawkthorne, Waubunsee sophomore, shaved off his 10-month-old beard Monday and has regretted it ever since.
"Whenever I used to say anything at all, people would listen as if it was important," Hawkthorne said. "but now I just look like another kid
Hawkthorne
struggling to sound grown-up."
Hawkthorne's friends and acquaintances agree.
"He used to just let off this aura of wisdom," said friend Bill O'Malley, Topeka sophomore. "Even if you just asked him what the answer to a simple question such as 'Do you want to go eat?'
he would stroke the beard, look off into the distance and then make his decision. Now, he just reaches toward his smooth cheeks, gets a sad look and gives his answer."
Jeremy's considered hiding away the rest of the semester and summer in order to grow it back.
"I just hate being looked at like just another student" he said. "I didn't realize how much I enjoyed being the Jesus-like guy with the knowing appearance."
According to a 2001 New York Times survey of 3 bearded men, 66.6 percent of them wore the beard for the 'wise look.' The other 33.3 percent were just lazy.

Graduate embellishes title of first job to impress friends
Last Thursday, recent KU alumnus Adil Hoxha told his friends that he was hired as a "Food and Beverage Delivery Consultant."
When his friends, motivated by several beers and the desire to humiliate, prodded him about what that actually meant, it came to light that Hoxha was in charge of emptying change and restocking area vending machines.
"It's got to be done by somebody," Hoxha said before taking a large gulp of whiskey. "If it weren't for me, Twin and Snickers, Coke and Pepsi would go the way of the dinosaur."
After friends made more comments on his highly polished "Delivery Consultant" title, Hoxha said everyone embellished.
"There are people out there called 'Telecommunications Service Specialist' who deliver nothing but low-brow telephone porn," he said. "Those people get paid by the minute. At least I get paid by the hour."

Name change eases smoking concerns
By Brandon Gay Kansan satire writer
Rachael Brewster used to feel bad about smoking. But now the Kansas City, Kan. sophomore and three pack a day chain-smoker says it doesn't seem that bad any more.
Brewster is one of the millions of Americans whose views about smoking changed last month when shareholders of Philip Morris, the nation's largest tobacco company, voted to change the company's name to "Altria Group, Inc."
PENNECY
The name change is intended to put a more positive label on a troubled company.
"Suddenly, smoking doesn't seem all that bad anymore. Altria Group, Inc. sounds like a
very nice, friendly company. With a name like that, they wouldn't make any products that were bad for me," Brewster said after pausing to catch her breath and get hooked up to her oxygen tank.
In other related stories, cigarettes will now be referred to as "pleasantettes," lung cancer will be called "heaven's gateway," and emphysema will change its name to "Medicare payout enhancement."
Heart disease is reportedly also considering dropping the term "heart attack" in favor of "Dick Cheney's Biannual Blessing."

World Leader Boxing matches Arafat, Sharon
Yasser Arafat and Ariel Sharon held a joint press conference yesterday in Tel Aviv, Israel, to announce they had forgotten whose turn it was to retaliate.
Last they can remember, Israel had just retaliated to Palestinian terrorism, which was in response to the retaliatory Israeli aggression.
During the press conference's most dramatic moment, Sharon shouted, "It's my turn!" to which Arafat said, "No it's not, you big baby, it's my turn!"
The two sides then agreed to a cease-fire, which ends a bloody millennium-old fight for a slice of land approximately the size of an extra large pizza.
To keep the region in the news, Arafat and Sharon agreed to Fox's offer to be contestants on World Leader Boxing, which premiers in June.
According to the rules, the match will last 5,000 rounds, there must be blood shed, and the winner will receive a used belt with a broken buckle.
The often volatile Arafat said
he was pleased with the terms of the boxing match, but does still harbor some resentment.
"I (expletive) (expletive)
really (expletive) a (expletive)
(expletive) Sharon," Arafat
said."
Sharon had similar feelings about Arafat.
"I think Yasser is just sore because his name is Yasser," Sharon said. "And he can (expletive) (expletive) (expletive)."

Graduation tips
By Brad Weiner
Kansan satire writer
Always light the barbecue grill with lighter fluid instead of Binaca.
Never yell "Skynyrd Rules!" when the band plays "Pomp and Circumstance."
If you walk down the hill naked, don't forget your cap and tassle.
Ganja brownies for graduation parties are not sold at Dillons.
Make sure you are enrolled at KU. It is necessary to graduate.
Avoid mention of your chronic diarrhea when interviewing with prospective employers
When photographers ask you to smile, tell them to piss off.
Never tell your family you majored in sociology. You aren't the only one who knows it's useless.
Never discuss your salary with friends of family. They will exploit you for every cent.
Carry your resume at all times. It can be used as an ice breaker with those stubborn sorority girls.
If it took you more than four years to graduate, say that your final year was spent doing top secret missile defense training.
- When your family is present, be sure to alter that potty mouth. Use "shucky darns" if necessary.
- Be sure to exploit the free food at every graduation ceremony. Who knows when that first unemployment check will arrive.
Neverdrink Smirnoff Ice. We are adults now.
Be on the lookout for Osama bin Laden.
Clean your bathroom for friends, family and guests Remember, sanitary conditions are different on the outside.
■ Your-diploma is not an accomplishment. It's a receipt $_{ETD}$
