SUMMER
SCHOOL
survival guide story by Lauren Beatty
Only a small number of students are dedicated enough to give up beach vacations and the ease of summer to take a few classes. And those who choose to study instead of slack will find that the e-University of Kansas isn't much different in the summer than in the fall or spring semesters.
In the eight-week summer semester, a variety of activities and services are still available on campus, and some students say hanging out on
campus in the heat and humidity of a Kansas summer really isn't so bad.
During the summer semester most student services are still available.
STUDENT SERVICES
The University libraries will be open regular semester hours for students who don't want to study outside in the heat. Watson Library, the largest on campus, is open from 8 a.m.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Kansan's focus changes
This is still The University Daily Kansan. It's looks and its focus have changed for the summer.
Unfortunately for a student newspaper, when students leave for the summer, there usually isn't as much to report. The staff at the Kansan has been trying for years to produce a weekly newspaper during the summer session, but it's hard without much news.
This summer we're trying something new. The Summer Kansan isn't as much a newspaper. Think of it more as a magazine. It's also now bi-weekly.
Kyle Ramsey
kramsey@kansan.com
The Summer Kansan's new focus and content also inspired its new look. Instead of five stories composing a traditional newspaper front page, readers can expect a front-page feature covering entertainment and student life. The new tabloid format is small and easier to handle.
In the future readers could find pieces on area dining, nightlife, movies and music along with the news and current events. We've begun this trend in issue one with the "Summer school survival guide," by staff writer Lauren Beatty.
The manpower we save by producing a biweekly publication rather than the traditional weekly will be funneled to our Website, Kansan.com. Check here daily for updates on breaking news, sports and other campus events. Our daily updates of local, national and international news
written by our staff and the Associated Press wire service. Essentially, Kansan.com will become our flagship daily publication.
To supplement our print news, on paper and the Web, we will produce expanded features that take advantage of the multimedia benefits of the Web. In the works is a comprehensive restaurant guide with restaurant reviews, driving instructions, interactive maps showing the location of each store. We'll also include coupons and special offers from participating restaurants.
Others online features include histories of the campus buildings and origins of University traditions.
Look for The Summer Kansan every other Wednesday in June and July. Let us know what you think of it.
Ramsey is a Wichita senior in journalism. He is the editor.

Red flags abound when dealing with leases
Jay Pilgreen Kansan staff writer
With leases ending throughout the summer, Michele Kessler, associate director for Legal Services for Students, recommends students take another look at their lease agreements.
Kessler said the most important issue now was an automatic renewal clause. The clause gives students a date they have to announce their intentions to not renew their lease. Kessler said it was usually 60 days before the end of the agreement. If tenants do not contact the landlord, they are responsible for another full year of rent, Kessler said.
Kessler also urged students make sure their security deposits weren't unfairly deducted from for damage that didn't actually exist. She said some landlords would
violate the landlord/tenant act, which protects renters from unlawful seizure of deposits, by not returning the entire deposit.
Kessler said sublessees should also watch out, because they could lose deposits for damage they didn't cause. She said the ideal situation was to form a new lease with the landlord, but that many landlords wouldn't agree to that.
"A lot of landors think: if I hold a hundred bucks, the students expect to not get it back anyway," Kessler said.
"Landlords want as many people on the hook as they can,"Kessler said.
She said an alternative was to make an agreement with subleasers, having them pay the original tenant a deposit, and having the tenant sign over their security deposit. She said that a signed written agreement between the two parties would
"You need to work it out with the person your subleasing from, or through the organization your subleasing from to make sure your only going to pay the security deposit portion from the time you move in to the time that you move out," Culver said.
Subleasers can unfairly lose deposits as well. Brian Culver, Wichita senior, said he had lost his deposit before and wished he had made arrangements prior to moving in.
problems.
Kessler said students who put down a deposit for an apartment should get a copy of the lease before they sign it. She also said students should ask what would happen to their deposit if they were to back out.
most leases in Lawrence are not negotiable after signing.
"If you plan to get a pet halfway through the year, you better check," Kessler said.
Kessler said roommates should make written agreements that cover rent, utilities and services like long distance. She said it would help if a roommate decided to leave or there were future problems.
Students can go to the Legal Services for Students office, located in the Burge Union, for advice or questions they might have. The Off Campus Living Recourse Center, earlier approved by Student Senate, is slated to open after the start of the fall semester. It will provide services such as landlord ratings and reviews of leases.
She said students should plan for the coming year before they sign the lease, as Contact Pilgreen at jnilgreen@kansan.com

to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday; noon to 5 p.m. Saturday and 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday. It is only during intersession, starting July 27, that the libraries will shorten their hours.
Watkins Memorial Health Center employees still see patients in the summer months. Bill Smith, interim director for health education, said all services Watkins provided in the fall and spring were available during the summer.
"We still see a lot of students," he said. "The frequency is lower because the number of students on campus is lower."
Recreation Services is open in the summer as well. The Burge Union fitness center will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday. Robinson Center will open from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. and 5 to 8 p.m. The Robinson pool is open from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. and from 5 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. Lindsey Whittington, Gardner freshman, said she saw a steady flow of people in the gym so far.
"There are always people waiting in line," she said. "We get quite a bit of traffic."
Whittington said KU Fit was still an option for students who wanted to work out this summer. Only intramural sports are dormant in summer, she said.
The computer labs are open in summer. The two biggest labs, Budig Lab and the Harris Lab in the Kansas Union have different hours. The Budig Lab will be open from 8 a.m. to midnight daily and the Harris Lab will be open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 10 p.m. Sunday.
Students seeking advice can visit Career and Employment Services and Legal Services for students. Both offices will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
All University offices and buildings will be closed Independence Day, July 4.
Long classes
Most classes taught in the summer are taken at an accelerated pace — the same amount of work as a regular 16-week semester, but in half the time. That's not necessarily a bad thing, said Philip Wedge, assistant professor of English.
"It's an intimate class setting," he said. "Meeting every day, students really get to know each other. It can be very positive."
Brandon Baker, Kansas City, Kan., junior, said he was taking a summer Spanish class. He said the first day was confusing.
"They're harder because they're more condensed," Baker said.
Because the summer session is about six class periods shorter than a regular semester, students might not learn all the same things they would have been taught if they had taken the class during the regular academic year. Wedge said he was only cutting one novel out of his curriculum for Major British Writers after 1800.
"The big difference is there is no finals period," he said. "Finals are usually given on the last day, so if you were taking three summer classes and had all your finals on that last day, it would be pretty tough. I will give a final. Not to do that would be too different from a regular semester class."
STUDENT LIFE AND ACTIVITIES
Sure, fewer students are prowling around Jayhawk Boulevard, but those who do stick around make the most of the relaxed atmosphere on campus.
Danny Kaiser, director of Student Organizations and Leadership, said the number of active student groups was minimal, but organizations like Student Senate and Panhellenic Council were eagerly preparing for next year.
"Things don't get as quiet as they used to, but there it is a significantly different pace," he said. "If someone came by the office, we would still try to plug them into things that are going on."
Student Senate, in addition to planning for next year, is planning a summer cleanup project. Jeff Allmon, Wichita junior and
community affairs director for Senate, said he and others had also been working to get students involved in city government.
"Currently we are very busy meeting with officials from the city to high-level state government, collecting info on potential state office candidates and working to have more city and university interaction."
For students seeking entertainment on campus, the Kansas Summer Theatre will present "Prairie Fire: Parts One and Two" from July 12 to14 and 19 to 21 in Murphy Hall. Charla Jenkins, public information officer for University Theatre said the play was based on Kansas history and was performed and produced by students. He said the summer heat didn't diminish the audience.
"We have reasonably good attendance," Jenkins said. "It's cool in here; it's a cool way to spend an evening in the middle of July."
Heather Meiers, a 2002 graduate of the University, is living in Lawrence during the summer and working at Watson Library. She said even though there are fewer people on campus, student life in the summer isn't so bad.
"It's definitely more relaxed in the summer. People aren't hurrying around to class. It's great. You can recharge your batteries for next fall."

Die Passion Eines Menschen, by Frans Masereel, is a woodcut in the Spencer's exhibit on Social Radicalism.
Spencer opens new exhibit
Todd Smith
Kansan staff writer
Spencer Museum of Artgoes radical this summer.A Printed Art and Social Radicalism exhibit began Saturday and runs through July 21.
The notion of social radicalism embraces a variety of modern radical positions, such as socialism, communism, and anarchism. The activists in these movements used the arts to broadcast their messages.
Stephen Goddard, curator of the museum, said the exhibit showcased prints made by artists who had a strong sense of engagement with radical political ideas and had found interesting and provocative ways to set them down as graphic images.
Goddard said that in the past this art has been seen as propaganda for political causes and had negligible art value.
"I guess one thing we would like to do is convey that these artists have done some very fine work in the name of political causes." he said.
He said curators decided to have the exhibit this summer as a trial for a larger present.
Goddard said the exhibit included works from the late 19th century to the present.
A Kansan artist's work will also be on display. James Pruner studied art at Fort Hays State University in the early 1970s. Some of Pruner's work from his Man as Machine portfolio will be on display. The works in the portfolio recount his experience with street people and civic authorities while he was on the road in Los Angeles in 1983.
Goddard said they also wanted to showcase items that the museum has been acquiring in the last dozen years.
Goddard said Pruner's work reflected his political stance.
Pruner died under mysterious circumstances in western Kansas in 1987. He had been working with others in political activism with water rights in western Kansas and he might have ran afoul of big farmers, Goddard said.
exhibit in the future.
"It heightens the price of political engagement, but it may have nothing to do with it." Goddard said.
He said no one is sure what really happened to him.
Goddard will give a gallery talk on the exhibit at 7 p.m. on Thursday in the North Balcony Gallery on the fourth flour.

Committee appointed to select baseball coach
By Matt Norton Kansan sportswriter
The University of Kansas has named a six-person committee to search for a new baseball coach.
The committee is led by Richard Konzem, associate athletics director and supervisor for baseball. Other members
include softball coach Tracy Bunge; Don Green, professor of engineering and Big 12 Conference faculty representative; Lee Ice, KClub board member; Darryl Monroe, Atlanta Braves assistant director of player development; and Jay Hinrichs, Williams Fund director.
All members have strong ties to Kansas
KU
Randall
and baseball, Konzem said. Green was a second-team All-American for the University of Tulsa in 1954, Ice and Monroe were former Kansas players and Hinrichs was an assistant general manger for 17 years with the Kansas City Royals.
Konzem said the committee had already received several applications for the position.
Because the NCAA tournament began last weekend, the committee won't begin interviewing applicants until the third week of June, Konzem said.
The committee hopes to give Al Bohl, athletics director, a final recommendation
Konzem said finding a coach with a proven track record for recruiting top athletes would be the first priority, but he stressed that finding "a good fit for KU" was also important.
bv the end of June.
"We seriously care about our kids graduating from here, and the new coach will have to as well." Konzem said.
Konzem said that knowledge of Kansas and the Big 12 would be helpful, but not necessary.
"These are all things we would look for in any coach," Konzem said.
Former coach Bobby Randall resigned May 20 after spending seven years in the position.
Randall compiled a 166-214 record including 22-29 this year. His best season was 1997, when the team finished 31-25 and placed eighth in the Big 12.
Randall said in a statement by the Athletics Department that because of a lack of success on the field, he felt it was time to step down as coach.
The last time the Jayhawks qualified for the NCAA tournament was 1994, when they were eliminated in three games at the Atlantic II regional in Tallahassee. Fla.
The Jayhawks qualified for the College World Series in 1993. Dave Bingham coached the Jayhawks both of those seasons.

Hemenway named chairman
Hemenway succeeds outgoing chairman William Kirwan, president of Ohio State University.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway was appointed chairman of the NCAA Division I governing board, according to a statement released last week.
Hemenway will be on the five-person presidential committee, which will interview candidates for the NCAA's top position. The committee will recommend a replacement for the retiring Cedric Dempsey to the executive committee by
August. The executive committee will name a new president by Nov. 1.
Hemenway was named to the board in 2001 as the Big 12 Conference representative. He will continue to serve as chair until the January 2005 NCAA convention.
In addition to finding a new president, the board also approves legislative proposals and appoints task forces to study specific issues within college sports.

KU graduate Alix Greenwell works at Sunflower Outdoor & Bike Shop, 802 Massachusetts, which sells a variety of frisbee golf discs and accessories. The sport offers both recreational exercise and competitive play to its participants.
Frisbee golf a cheap sport gaining in popularity
By Jay Philgreen Kansan staff writer
Students with a limited budget this summer have an alternative to more traditional sports. Alix Greenwell, Sunflower Outdoor & Bike Shop employee, said frisbee golf was an easy sport to learn.
"It's not very physically challenging, but you are outside." Greenwell said.
The sport is similar to golf. There are 18 holes, each with a tee box and a basket to represent the hole. A player throws a disc from the tee box, then continues throwing from the spot the disc lands until he or she puts a disc in the basket. Scoring is also similar to golf; there is a par for each hole and the player with the fewest throws wins.
Greenwell said players need two discs, called a driver and a putter. Discs at Sunflower, 802 Massachusetts St., sell for $8 to $20.
Sunflower also offers an assortment of accessories, including gear bags, mini-markers to establish where the disc has fallen, practice baskets, rule books and the PDGA disc golf course directory.
The Lawrence course, located in Centennial Park, near the intersection of Ninth and Iowa streets, is free to play.
Nick Schmidt, Denver senior, started playing "frolf" his sophomore year.
"I was taking summer school and one of my friends played," Schmidt said.
Schmidt said he took up the sport because it was cheap and allowed him to have some outdoor exercise. He said that after a few times he considered it a hobby.
“It's a sport you can do at your own pace.” Schmidt said. “It's not strenuous.”
Schmidt said he played once a week and,weather permitting,tried to play more often.He said a full round took
"It's a sport you can do at your own pace. It's not strenuous."
Nick Schmidt
Frisbee golf player
about an hour and a half to play.
Since starting, Schmidt said he had bought an additional mid-range driver to add more versatility to his game. He said for a player of his experience, three discs were average, but some more experienced players would carry five or more.
Greenwell said though it was not an intimidating sport, there was room to advance in skill and technique. She said players have the option of playing competitively.
The Kaw Valley Disc Golf Club, in Centennial Park, offers weekly league play as well as events throughout the summer for players who wish to compete. Information about schedules and memberships can be found on their Web site, www.kawvalleydiscgolfclub.home-stead.com.
"You can play recreationally," Greenwell said. "but there are leagues also."
Schmidt said he had never competed, but preferred to play for fun and exercise.
Players can also find courses at Rosedale Park in Kansas City, Kan., Prairie Center Park in Olathe and Crestview Park in Topeka.
"Get a friend who knows what they're doing," Schmidt said. "It makes it more fun."

Big concerts fail to bring profits to local business
By Heidi Pritchard Special to the Kansan
The forecast is rain. Severe thunderstorms, in fact. Fans are lining up by the thousands to stand on the lawn of Sandstone Amphitheatre for the opening of the 10th Annual Summer Concert Series, and umbrellas are not allowed inside the Amphitheatre. As Green Day begins its set, flashes of lightning keep in time with the beat of the music almost as if they're planned special effects.
By the time Blink 182 begins to play, the rain is coming down in sheets, and most concertgoers scream louder and pump their fists into the open air even harder.
This kind of fanaticism is what has kept Sandstone Amphitheatre in Bonner Springs rocking and rolling for the ten years Clear Channel has had ownership. The venue has provided a place for people of all ages and musical tastes to while away their summer free-time.
Even though there is an average of 400,000 people attending each summer series at Sandstone, the people profiting are not who you might think. Clear Channel and Bonner Springs are making a profit, but downtown businesses are not.
Although no specific figures are available, Bonner Springs officials said most local businesses were not bolstered by the summer concerts.
"It really doesn't do anything for
"It really doesn't do anything for downtown. Mostly because, as you get off I-70,the venue is in the complete opposite direction of downtown businesses. It mainly affects the fast food restaurants in the direct vicinity of Sandstone. People are here for the concert and gone."
Charlene Biles executive secretary at the Bonner Springs Chamber of Commerce
downtown," said Charlene Biles, executive secretary at the Bonner Springs Chamber of Commerce. "Mostly because, as you get off I-70, the venue is in the complete opposite direction of downtown businesses. It mainly affects the fast food restaurants in the direct vicinity of Sandstone. People are here for the concert and gone."
Rita Hoag, city clerk for Bonner Springs said the city enjoyed tax benefits from Sandstone through liquor sales at the
shows and a 25-cent amusement tax on each ticket.
These fees add up, considering the number of people who attend each concert.
Chamie McCurrey, Sandstone's public relations director, said it was not only the local teenage population attending the concerts. McCurrey said an average of 13,500 people attended each show for a total of about 400,000 each concert season. McCurrey said there was a huge age range attending the shows.
She said she was not allowed to comment on revenue generated by the shows, but she did say that last year the venue produced 28 shows and this year they would be pumping out about 30. But, with big-name sponsors like Pepsi, Budweiser and Verizon Wireless, it would appear Clear Channel is making ends meet.
The venue is an obvious draw for local residents. When asked what kept them coming back concert after concert the answer was usually simple; it was something to do. The towns clustered directly around the venue: Basehor, Leavenworth and Lansing, are mostly small and based heavily in agriculture. As it is with most small farm towns, there isn't a whole lot going on for the younger generation.

Sandstone, state agencies work to curb drunk driving during summer season
By Heidi Pritchard Special to the Kansan
Bonner Springs officials said that crime generally does not go up during the Sandstone concert season. However, they said the venue's events had a profound effect on drinking and driving rates.
Administrative Lt. Sam Mills with the Kansas Highway Patrol said the focus on Sandstone began last year ago when a teen on K-7 drove over the top of one car and landed on a Chevrolet Camaro, resulting in one fatality. The accident happened June 5 of last year when a Ford Explorer, attempting to avoid concert traffic, left Highway 7 and then reentered at a high rate of speed. The Explorer struck a Camaro, and the driver of the Camaro died on the Life Flight helicopter en route to the
hospital. Open alcohol containers were found in the Explorer.
So just how many concertgoers are drinking and driving? According to Mills, between the months of May and September — when Sandstone is open — there were 47 DUI arrests, two open container arrests and two minors in possession on highways close to the venue. Mills could not say if this was an increase in comparison to the rest of the year.
Statewide statistics are not yet available for 2001. But 2,380 people were injured in alcohol-related crashes in Kansas the year before.
Sandstone officials, as well as KDOT, took note of the 51 alcohol-related violations in Sandstone's vicinity between May and September of last year.
Sandstone, in conjunction with KDOT.
rolled out the There's No Excuse For Driving Drunk program May 7. Concertgoers choosing to participate indicate to Sandstone officials that they are the designated driver for their group. In turn, the drivers receive a plastic bracelet that entitles them to two free soft drinks at any beverage stand inside the venue.
KDOT's press release regarding the new program proudly touted that the No Excuse theme was based on Kansan's attitudes and was designed to resonate with drivers of all ages. KDOT is including a number of other programs under the No Excuse umbrella to include the Sandstone Designated Driver Program and the Hand 'Em Over to Someone Sober Campaign.

In Man Versus the Refrigerator, shown at the KAN Film Festival, special effects impressed audiences when a refrigerator fell on one of the stars of the film.
KAN Film Festival attracts KU Students
By Todd Smith Kansan staff writer
Independent filmmakers showed their movie-making skills on Saturday. The 11th annual KAN Film Festival attracted a record crowd of 550 in the Lied Center. The film festival's name, KAN, is a take-off of the Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France and also the word KAN-sas.
The festival chose films of 75 finalists, mostly from Kansas and Missouri. There were 178 films originally entered.
The festival consisted of five divisions divided into different categories, such as, comedy or drama, documentary, music video and educational. The festival had a student division representing work from grade school students to college level.
Patricia Hamarstrom, executive director, said the number of entries was slightly lower than last year's number, 210.
"This is probably because the entry date was changed from May first to April, and some people missed it," she said.
Four entries in the festival showed work done by University of Kansas students.
Jeremy Osbern, Lawrence sophomore had two entries, Summer Days by Calsto , a music video, and a short original production called Man Versus the Refrigerator.
The music video received first place in the music video category out of five entries.
Osbern said he was just happy to win anything, let alone first place.
The music video is about two people who fall in love he said.
"I show the progression of the couple from when they are little kids until they are in their sixties." Osbern said.
Patrick Rea, Schuyler, Nebraska senior and Vickie Goetz, Lawrence graduate student, received second place in the documentary category for Building New Lives One Life at a Time.
Kyle Hamrick, Olathe senior, who entered a piece in the documentary category did not place. The documentary was titled Movin'on Down the Line.
The division winners are picked from all the categories within a division.
Five entries won in the division: Rich Ambler, Fairway, in the open division for Prisoner of Love; Aaron Rahsaan Thomas, University of Southern California and resident of Kansas City, Kan., in the college division for PeepingTom; Dan Gartner, St. Charles West High School, St. Charles, Mo., in the secondary division, grades 10th through 12th, for The Impresario; Kevin Lander, Shawnee Mission East, Prairie Village, in the intermediate division for A Dreamworld's Reality; A.S.P.I.R.E. Students Highland Park Elementary, Lee's Summit, Mo., in the primary division for To Dig the Truth.
The winners received U.S. Savings bonds. The first place winner of each division received a $150 savings bond. U.S. Savings bonds in the amount of $100 for first place, $75 for second place and $50 for third place were awarded for winners in each category.
The major sponsors for the festival were the Kansas Arts Commission, Southwestern Bell Telephone and the Missouri Film Commission.
A complete listing of all the films and past winners can be found at the KAN Film Festival web site at www.kanfilmfest.org
Man Versus the Refrigerator received third in the original category out of five entries. Contact Smith at smith@kansan.com. This story was edited by Mandy Millen.

Businesses prepare for slower summer
By Todd Smith Kansan staff writer
When an estimated 16,000 students leave for the summer,it's not uncommon for local merchants to find business lagging.
Lawrence businesses have different strategies for the slower summer season, with some businesses using this time to do work on their buildings.
Braun Ricci, manager of Bullwinkles, 1344 Tennessee St., said the bar would undergo structural work this summer.
He said Bullwinkles remained open the past two summers for one day a week, but he did not foresee steady business this summer.
He said making money was dependent on college students in the area.
Ricci said most of its customers were in fraternities and many of them are gone for the summer.
"We are a small bar, and we are doing what we can with what we have," he said. "We have our regulars who come in every day and we can always count on them."
Robert Farha, owner of The Wheel Cafe, 507 W.14th St., was more optimistic. He said The Wheel was planning to stay open during the summer thanks to the installation of air conditioning.
The bar has not been open during past summers except for special events.
"When we did not have air conditioning in August and September, it hurt our business," Farha said. "But since the installation of air conditioning last fall,business has increased."
Farha said there were requests from students staying in Lawrence this summer to keep the bar open.
He said the bar would be open Friday and Saturday evenings beginning June 6. The Wheel will also be open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.Fridays for lunch.
The Wheel Pizza Co., located below The Wheel Cafe, has always remained open during the summer.
Yello Sub is another business that is
"We are a small bar, and we are doing what we can with what we have," he said. "We have our regulars who come in every day and we can always count on them."
Braun Ricci manager of Bullwinkles
affected by students leaving town.
Anna Williams, manager at the 624 W. 12th St. location, said the restaurant would close earlier during the summer.
The store is open until midnight during the school year , but it will close at 10 p.m. this summer.
"Our boss always freaks out, but we are Yello Sub, and we always make it," she said.
The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce works on marketing opportunities for businesses year-round. The Chamber works with its members to help businesses improve their ability to reach customers.
"Hopefully the Chamber can help to put you together with people who can make sure cash registers ring through advertising and networking," said Bill Sepic, president and CEO of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.
He said this was the benefit of those businesses that were members of the Chamber.
Sepic said Lawrence was growing and there was potential for more customers, but the deciding factor for summer business was based on the target market.
"If you are going after the college students, then you have to be prepared for a lull in the summer," he said.

Program teaches leadership
By Lauren Beatty
Kansan staff writer
Young women from all over Kansas are descending upon the University of Kansas this week to participate in a mock-government program called Sunflower Girls State.
Krystine Lusk, state secretary for the Auxiliary, said the purpose of Girls State was to teach young women about their state's government by creating an exact replica of the legislature. It also teaches them the importance of voting, she said.
For 60 years, the American Legion Auxiliary has sponsored Girls State all over the country. The 600 Sunflower Girls State participants form their own local and state governments by electing delegates and creating and passing their own bills.
Barbara Ballard, associate chancellor
for student affairs and Kansas representative, spoke Monday to the participants at the Lied Center. She said the program prepared future leaders.
Other guests at Girls State throughout the week include Linda Graves, Kansas' first lady, U.S. Circuit Court Judge Deanelle Tacha and Diana Carlin, associate professor of communication studies.
"They have to replicate what we do," Ballard said. "They have to campaign and run for office and they have to communicate with their constituents. It's excellent training."
The program ends Friday with a trip to Topeka to meet and observe the members of the legislature.

Kansas Union renovations delayed
By Jay Pilgreen Kansan staff writer
6
The completion date for the Kansas Union renovations has been pushed back from the first day of fall classes to January 24, but services for students will be up and running before fall classes.
Pat Beard, director of building services for the Kansas and Burge Unions, is confident the areas students use most will be finished by August.
"We have had an emphasis all along on getting the level-one recreational area, Jaybowl and the Hawk's Nest, and the level-two Bookstore completed prior to freshman fall enrollment," Beard said. "That's on schedule."
Along with level-one and two construction, Beard said the completed design would include a new entry on the west end of the building and changes to the central stairwell, the west stairwell, the Organization and Leadership offices and the internal signage in the building.
Beard said the delays were due to change orders by the construction companies, which were common in large projects.
"It has continually slipped a tad here and there, but that's not unusual," Beard said. "Especially with a project like this one that has not only new construction, but also renovation and tying a new structure into an existing structure."
Delays have increased costs, but reductions have kept the project close to budget. Beard said the project was $16,000 over planned costs. He also said there was a contingency fund of $152,000 set up at the beginning of the project to cover change order costs.
Beard said the January date of completion allowed for more change orders, and the project might be finished as early as late November. Overall, Beard said the major inconvenience to the students was over.
"That was the onset of the project, when we were doing the demolition," Beard said.
Claire Zeigler, Student Senate communications director, said the renovation was distracting but necessary.
"It's hard to be productive living out of boxes," Zeigler said, "but keeping in mind they're renovating our office and they're giving more space for the Organization and Leadership Offices, it's definitely worth it."
Beard said the amount of traffic in the building had gone down 20 percent from the previous year, but that sales were still up in all areas.
"Even though some folks are staying away from us, they still know we're here, we're open and we're providing service," Beard said.

University disputes ruling buys Ohio Street duplex
By Lauren Beatty Kansan staff writer
Plans for the University of Kansas-owned houses in the 1300 block of Ohio Street are still up in the air.
Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations, said the University was still weighing its options and a decision whether to appeal the state historic preservation officer's ruling had not been made yet.

LAURIESISK/KANSAN
The University wanted to tear down the properties and build two new scholarship halls — a plan that was defeated in midMarch when Ramon Powers, the state historic preservation officer at the time, ruled the University could not tear down three houses because it would encroach upon the environment of the historic Usher House, 1425 Tennessee St.
The University recently closed on a duplex, its ninth property on Ohio Street, John Scarffe, communications director for the Endowment Association, said.
"The duplex was purchased at the request of the Chancellor and it is not known how it will be used," Scarffe said.
Although the battle between the Campus Historic Preservation Alliance and the Oread Neighborhood Association about what to do with the properties waged for more than a year, Greg Hickam, president
The University recently closed on this property in the 1300 block of Ohio Street. This is one of many properties the University bought on the block in hopes of razing the structures to build scholarship halls.
of the Oread Neighborhood Association, said he was not worried another battle over destruction of the duplex would ensue.
"We haven't lost our concern for the situation," he said. "But this doesn't change anything. It's not much of a surprise."

Homeless shelter stays open
By Lauren Beatty Kansan staff writer
The Salvation Army homeless shelter raised enough money to stay open this summer, and with the mercury rising higher every day, the less fortunate in Lawrence have a place to stay cool.
Capt. Carolyn Schuetz said the Salvation Army raised more than $60,000 so the shelter could remain open year-round for the first time in 15 years. Schuetz said the funds would cover summer utility costs and employee salaries.
Schuetz said the number of people staying in the shelter per night was around 20. Schuetz said she was confident that number would remain steady unless a proposed open shelter at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, 1229 Vermont St., opened.
Shuetz said she was glad plans for the shelter at the church were in the works,
but had concerns. Unlike the Salvation Army shelter, open shelters allow people who have been drinking to stay in the shelter.
"At what point do we make them accountable for their drinking?" she said. "At what point do they have the motivation to stop drinking?"
The planning commission approved the plans for the shelter Wednesday. The city commission must approve the plans next.
The next goal for the Salvation Army is to move its shelter to a new location. Shuetz said it had been planning the move for five years, but was waiting until more money was available.
"It will take a major fundraiser," she said.

Ashley Meagher, Golden, Colo., junior, examines some cultured fish cells in the Sandy Quackenbush lab.
Student presents findings on HIV gene research
By Lauren Beatty Kansan staff writer
Speaking in front of 15,000 people might be nerve-wracking, but for Ashley Meagher it was something she applied to do.
Last month Meagher, Golden, Colo., junior, attended the American Society for Microbiology's annual general meeting. The meeting is a week-long event packed with presentations, discussions and lectures. Meagher was chosen by ASM to be one of the speakers during the event.
The ASM general meeting took place May 18 to 23 in Salt Lake City. Not only was Meagher a chosen speaker, she was one of the few undergraduates in attendance. Mostly professionals, faculty and graduate students attend because of the cost. Meagher said she enjoyed the meetings so much she tried to pack everything in.
"It was a really fun, busy week," Meagher said. "Everyone could tell I was a 'first-timer' because I wanted to go to everything - every talk, every lecture."
Meagher also participated in poster displays in which attendees turn their research presentations into poster boards. This way people can come around to see them and ask questions.
- Because she was chosen to give an oral
Meagher said her research was based on analyzing genes of people with the HIV virus and genes of people without the virus.
"She's accomplished a lot," Quackenbush said. "She has done good work in my lab and on research projects. She went to Davis on an ASM fellowship which I encouraged wholeheartedly. Research in a different atmosphere is critical for the development of a student."
Meagher began working with Sandra Quackenbush, assistant professor of molecular biosciences, her freshman year.
Her attendance at the meeting was a stipulation of a research fellowship she won from ASM last summer. After an extensive application process, Meagher won the $4,000 to go to the University of California at Davis and conduct research on gene expression in HIV patients.
After graduation, Meagher said she wants to continue to work in the microbiology field, but she doesn't know specifically what branch.
presentation, ASM paid for Meagher's stay in Salt Lake City. She said the meeting was a valuable experience and planned on attending next year.

STATE Candidate promises to trim office budget if elected
TOPEKA (AP) — If elected Secretary of State, Sen. David Haley promised to trim 10 percent from the office's budget and work to guarantee accurate and accessible elections.
Haley, D-Kansas City, said Tuesday he would challenge Republican incumbent Ron Thornburgh for the post. If elected he would be only the second Democrat in state history to hold the office.
Playing off the title of his uncle Alex Haley's Pulitzer Prize winning book, Roots, he asked voters to give him a chance.
"Kansas voters should give our roots and our desire to ensure fair and equal elections a chance," he said.
Haley, 43, has spent eight years in the Kansas Legislature. He served three terms in the House and was elected to the Senate in 2000.
His father, George Haley, was the first black elected to the state Senate in 1964. A Republican, the elder Haley went on to serve in the administration of five presidents and was the ambassador to the Republic of Gambia under President Clinton.

Lawmakers say tobacco company violates law
WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation's largest smokeless tobacco company is violating a 1998 legal settlement by targeting children in its ads, lawmakers who cited a study by Massachusetts health officials said.
U. S. Smokeless Tobacco Co. spent $9.4 million last year on advertising in magazines that have substantial number of young readers, up from $3.6 million in 1997, according to the report released Tuesday by the Massachusetts Tobacco Control Program.
"These results are troubling and indicate to us that UST is not in compliance with the agreement it signed with the state attorneys general," Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., and Sen. Richard Durban, D-III., said in a letter sent Tuesday to the National Association of Attorneys General. UST Inc. is the holding company for U.S. Smokeless Tobacco.
The lawmakers urged the attorneys general to take legal action against the Greenwich, Conn.-based company, which makes the snuff brands Copenhagen and Skoal.
Richard Verheij, the company's general counsel, said he was confident the manufacturer had not violated the agreement it signed in 1998.
Residents view the wreckage after fire destroys 20 homes
CANON CITY, Colo. (AP) — Dozens of families headed back into the charred foothills Tuesday to search for remnants of their lives after a 4,400-acre wildfire destroyed more than 80 homes.
Fire officials began allowing the residents into the area after cooler weather and scattered rain helped slow the fire
The fire broke out in a foothills area where modest homes and mobile houses are scattered on small lots among stands of fir and pine.
Hundreds of families were evacuated when the fire broke out in dry timber and brush west about 110 miles southwest of Denver. Besides the homes, the blaze destroyed a general store and several other structures. Royal Gorge Park closed temporarily but reopened Tuesday.
Middlemiss said the blaze may have been started by an outdoor barbecue grill. There were no suspects.
Former Tyco chairman resigns pleads innocent to tax evasion
NEW YORK (AP] — Dennis Kozlowski, the dealmaking titan who built Tyco International into a huge conglomerate, was charged Tuesday with illegally avoiding more than $1 million in sales taxes on paintings, including works by Renoir and Monet.
Kozlowski, who resigned as chairman and chief executive Monday amid news of the investigation, pleaded innocent Tuesday and was released on $3 million bail. Kozlowski would not comment outside court, but his lawyer, Stephen Kaufman, said, "The charges are unsubstantiated."
Kozlowski, 55, was charged with sales tax violations, tampering with evidence and falsifying business records on roughly $13 million in paintings.
Prosecutors said he and others agreed to create phony invoices and shipping documents to make it appear as if the artwork was to be shipped out of state and was therefore not covered by New York state sales tax.
Each of the 11 felony counts is punishable by up to four years in prison; Kozlowski also faces a misdemeanor conspiracy charge.
Deliberations begin in murder trial of Kennedy cousin
NORWALK, Conn. (AP) — Michael Skakel's fate went to the jury Tuesday as deliberations began on whether the Kennedy family cousin beat his 15-year-old neighbor to death with a golf club in 1975.
The jury ended for the day after about six hours of deliberations.
Deliberations began the morning after prosecutors closed their case by displaying a projected photo of a smiling Martha Moxley that dissolved into a grim crime scene photo.
Skakel, 41, is accused of killing Moxley when they were 15-year-olds living in a wealthy gated community in Greenwich. The golf club was matched to a set owned by Skakel's mother. Skakel is a nephew of Ethel Kennedy, widow of Robert F. Kennedy. A murder conviction is punishable by 25 years to life in prison.
Skakel's defense maintained that he was at a cousin's house when Moxley was murdered.
Shuttle launch rescheduled NASA hopes for good weather
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — After nearly a week of delays, NASA hoped for a break in the weather Wednesday that would allow it to launch space shuttle Endeavour to the international space station.
Endeavour will drop off a new crew at the orbiting outpost and bring home the three men who have been living there for the past six months. The shuttle's astronauts will also repair the space station's robot arm.
Forecasters on Tuesday put the chances of acceptable weather at just 40 percent. Thunderstorms remained a threat, in addition to thick clouds and possibly gusty wind.
As part of the space agency's post-Sept.
11 anti-terrorism measures, NASA kept the 5:23 p.m. launch time a secret until 24 hours in advance.
NASA tried to launch Endeavour on the 12-day flight last Thursday but was thwarted by thunderstorms that ultimately pushed liftoff to Monday. Then a pressure valve had to be replaced, and the launch slipped to Wednesday.
WORLD
RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP)—Responding to growing U.S. pressure to fight terror, Yasser Arafat presented CIA Director George Tenet with a plan Tuesday for restructuring the unwieldy Palestinian security apparatus. Israel called the proposals "worthless."
The Palestinian leader appointed a 73-year-old general to head the new security array, but Israel said the proposed changes are largely cosmetic because Arafat, who has done little to rein in militants in the past, remains in charge. Some Palestinians also were skeptical, because the reform would still leave six different security branches.

Signs suggest situation in Kashmir calming down
Efforts by Russia, China and other nations failed to get Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf and Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee to hold face-to-face talks Tuesday.
ALMATY, Kazakhstan (AP) — Pakistan's president traded angry accusations with his Indian counterpart Tuesday, but Indian officials said they saw signs the situation in Kashmir was becoming calmer.
"In any case, both leaders expressed their interest in direct contacts, even though they still see the conditions for organizing such meetings differently, but both sides have the desire for such contacts," Putin said after meeting separately with Vaipayee and Musharraf.
But Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed to see progress toward such negotiations.
"No less important, both leaders of both states underlined that they do not intend to use force to solve their problems," Putin said.

Album lacks creativity
Weezer, Maladroit, Geffen Records
Weezer's formula for releasing records is starting to sound like the directions on the back of a shampoo bottle record a clever and catchy power-pop album, follow with a more intricate and textured album and repeat.
This system worked brilliantly through the band's debut (1994's self-titled blue album), sophomore release (1996's Pinkerton, a classic collection of love gone wrong or going nowhere) and its return to the top of the power-pop mountain (2001's self-titled green album).
With Maladroit, though, Rivers Cuomo and company may have followed the procedure one too many times.
Songs where the band sticks to its hooks, harmonies and power-pop roots, like "Keep Fishin" and "Possibilities,"

shine, but numbers like "Take Control" and "American Gigolo" are so heavy with crunching guitars befitting a '70s arena-rock concert that a listener may not recognize them as Weezer songs if it weren't for Cuomo's distinctive voice.
Maladroit lacks in lyrical creativity as well, featuring just one couplet on the level of Cuomo's previous writing ( "Fag of the year/who could beat up your man" from the first single, "Dope Nose").
"Slob" does a nice job of following in Pinkerton's footsteps and showing Cuomo's issues with himself as both a person and a rock star, but the rest of the album seems trite compared to the intelligence and freshness of the band's past work.
Considering the title, which means "inept," maybe this is all listeners should have expected. Hopefully, the band's next release will be another one of those self-titled albums everyone refers to by its color and bring a bit of familiar Weezer magic back to the rock world. Rating: 5 out of 10

ANSWERING COMPANY
Record worth the wait
The Breeders, Title TK, Elektra Entertainment
It seems like ages ago that the Breeders ruled the summer airwaves with their single "Cannonball" off their album Last Splash.
It seems that way because it was ages ago — 1993 to be exact, when the Lazer was really the Lazer and MTV still showed cool, important videos during the day.
After nine years without a release because of drug arrests and other bands, Breeders lead singer Kim Deal has put together a new lineup and released the band's third album, Title TK, which sounds every bit as fresh and important as Last Splash.
Although no song sticks out like "Cannonball," there are numerous highlights that feature similar creative pauses and vocal and musical tempo changes and are
influenced by Deal's time with the Pixies.
"Huffer" features an intro of nonsensical vocals that sounds like the Breeders' signature song, and other songs such as "Little Fury" bring back memories of 1993, but rather sound old and cliched, Title TK reminds listeners how far ahead of their time the Breeders were, and still are.
The band does hit a low spot on "Put on a Side" which seems uninspired musically and lyrically, but Deal still has as much songwriting talent as ever ("I'm over Houston/You're over the night we met" from "The She").
No one song on Title TK is as catchy as "Cannonball"but that's not a bad thing, though,because songs that terrific are few and far between.For a band to release an album this good after nearly a decade is more than any fan could sanely wish. Rating: 8 out of 10.
Sophomore effort another keeper
Doves, The Last Broadcast, Capitol Records
Rising like a phoenix from the ashes, Jimi Goodwin and twin brothers Jez and Andy Williams created Doves after the studio in which their equipment and recordings as dance group Sub Sub burned down in 1995.
The newly named trio released their first full-length album, Lost Souls, in 2001 to critical acclaim and brought a deeper and even dreamier sound to the current wave of Britpop.

doves the last broadcast
That spacey, ambient sound is brought to even greater heights on The Last Broadcast, as the band reaches much of the promise showed on its debut.
That potential may not be tapped out, as songs like "Friday's Dust" and "Caught by the River" show nearly as much capacity for future greatness as
alfie
a word in
your ear
some of the numbers from Radiohead's The Bends.
Although The Last Broadcast doesn't show as much musical variety and experimentation as Lost Souls, the band benefits by creating a much more cohesive album and focusing even more on emotion than psychedelia.
Anyone who enjoys Britpop originals like The Smiths or Charlatans UK or current bands like Travis and Coldplay could do far worse than The Last Broadcast. So could fans of any musical genre, as the album stands out for its emotion and quality no matter what your taste. Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
An album for the summer:
Alfie's A Word in Your Ear
Alfie, A Word in Your Ear, XL Recordings
Floating in the neo-psychadelia soundscape with Super Furry Animals, Mercury Rev and Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, Alfie's second full-length album features beautiful pastoral sounds that are perfect for summer lounging on the front porch. Rating: 7.5 out of 10.

'Thoroughly Modern Millie' wins Toneys
NEW YORK (AP) — An old-fashioned Broadway musical about a small-town girl's quest for love and riches in New York now has a fairy-tale ending for itself and its unlikely young star.
"Thoroughly Modern Millie" won six Tony Awards on Sunday, including best musical and best actress for Sutton Foster, a 27-year-old former understudy in the show who landed the title role.
"To say that this is a dream come true is an understatement," an ebullient Foster said in accepting the award at Radio City Music Hall.
"The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia?" — Edward Albee's dark comic drama that provocatively delves into the nature of sex and love—won for best play. It was Albee's second Tony, coming nearly four decades after his 1963 award for "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf."
Albee, who has won three Pulitzer Prizes, wryly thanked his producers for their "faith, the outrageous faith, that Broadway was ready to see a play about love."
In doling out winners, Tony voters were far more evenhanded than they were last year, when a record 12 of 22 competitive awards went to the smash hit "The Producers." This year's prizes were divided among 11 shows.
Besides best musical and lead actressmusical, "Millie"—based on a 1967 movie starring Julie Andrews — won for featured actress-musical, Harriet Harris; choreography, Rob Ashford; costumes, Martin Pakledinaz; and orchestrations, Doug Besterman and Ralph Burns.
Yet while "Millie" took home the most honors, it wasn't a true standout. The unconventional "Urinetown," a social satire that emerged three years ago from the New York International Fringe Festival, and which pokes fun at various musical theater traditions, won for best score, book of a musical and best direction.
The last musical to win best book and score and then lose the top prize, as "Urinetown" did, was "Ragtime" which lost to "The Lion King" in 1998.
Alan Bates and Frank Langella — who face off in "Fortune's Fool" — both won Tony's: Bates as best actor-play for his portrayal of an impoverished nobleman and Langella, in the featured category, for his portrait of an extravagant fop.
John Lithgow, who plays a devious New York gossip columnist in "Sweet Smell of Success," took the prize for best actor musical.
Mary Zimmerman, who adapted and directed "Metamorphoses" — a series of playlets based on the writings of the ancient poet Ovid — took the prize for direction of a play.
"I would like to thank every person I've ever met in my life," Zimmerman said as she fought back tears.
"Private Lives" won for best revival of a play as well as for actress-play — given to Lindsay Duncan for her role as Amanda, the world-weary sophisticate in the Noel Coward comedy. It also won for its set designs, by Tim Hatley.
Katie Finneran of the comedy "Noises Off" won in the featured actress-play category, while Shuler Hensley was chosen as featured actor in a musical for his role as the brooding Jud Fry in "Oklahoma!"
"Into the Woods"beat out "Oklahomal" for the musical-revival prize and also won for best lighting.
Two shows that were nominated for awards but shut out Sunday included the box-office success "Mamma Mia!" and "Topdog/Underdog," whose author, Suzan-Lori Parks, won the Pulitzer Prize for drama in April.
Some of the evening's heartiest applause went to Elaine Stritch, who won a Tony that has eluded her since 1956, when she received the first of her four previous nominations.
The 77-year-old performer got the special theatrical event prize for her onewoman show, "Elaine Stritch at Liberty." In her acceptance speech, she told of an admirer who wanted to follow in her footsteps. "I told her to wear comfortable shoes," Stritch said.
Stritch, who began her remarks goodnaturedly, turned visibly angry when her speech was cut short to accommodate the live television broadcast.
CBS blames the popular NBA playoff game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Sacramento Kings for siphoning off viewers.
The show was watched by just under 8 million viewers, according to preliminary Nielsen Media Research ratings released Monday. That's down 11 percent from last year and would make it the least-watched Tony telecast for which records are available.
"Unfortunately, we ran into a little bit of a juggernaut with the L.A. Lakers," said David Poltrack, CBS' chief research executive.
Though security was tight, there were few references to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks that briefly shut down Broadway just as the season kicked off, and which had many worried about irreparable harm to the industry.
Both grosses and attendance were down only slightly from the previous season's banner year, but a sense of nervousness persists. Advance ticket sales have faltered with audiences preferring to buy at the last minute or only a week or two in advance.
The Tonys are a joint presentation of the League of American Theatres and Producers and the American Theater Wing, which founded the awards in 1947. Nominees were chosen by the 27-member Tony nominating committee of theater professionals. Winners then were voted on by 731 theater professionals and journalists.

Kind of a Drag
Photos by Kimberly Thompson
Xavier Rice, Roeland Park senior, took his theatrical talents to the annual Brown Bag Drag this past spring. As the performer, "Kahlua," Rice, a theatre student, entertained the capacity crowd outside the Kansas Union. But the preparation for such a performance requires a little more than slipping on a pair of stilettos and a sensuous dress. Here's a brief look at what it takes to transform into a Queen for a Day.
Above left: Pulling off a top notch performance requires more than a little rehearsal. Here, Xavier enlist the help of theatre and dance students to choreograph "Vogue."
Above right: Attention to detail is what makes the illusion plausible. Here, Xavier puts the finishing touches on his lipstick and is well on his way to becoming "Kahlua."

Two All-Americans finish college career
By Matt Norton Kansan staff writer
The Kansas track and field team returned from the NCAA Championships with two All-American awards.
The Championships were held in Baton Rouge, La., from May 29 to June 1.
Senior Scott Russell won the javelin throw Thursday night with a toss of 261 feet, 11 1/2 inches,the ninth-best collegiate throw of all time.
Russell beat runner-up Nathan Junius of Texas by over 17 feet.
"It feels great to come in here and get a win," Russell said. "I couldn't ask for a better way to cap off my college career."
"He knew what he came here for and he did it," Coach Stanley Redwine said. "We're very proud of him and of what he has done for the University of Kansas."
The win is Russell's second NCAA title. He won the 35-pound weight throw at the indoor championships in March and leaves Kansas as a six-time All-American.
Senior Charlie Gruber won his fifth All- American award during his Kansas career, placing seventh in the finals of the 1,500-meter run. His time of 3:43.86 trailed the winner, Donald Sage of Stanford, by 1.21 seconds.
Gruber was in contention to win the race with 300 meters to go, but couldn't match the finishing kick of Sage and others.
Gruber said that the full weight of ending his college career hit him after the race.
"I'm not satisfied because I came here to win," Gruber said. "Coach (Doug Clark) and I put a plan together for the race and I ran that plan and gave it everything I had."
Senior Jennie Wonder broke her own school record in the 100-meter hurdles in Thursday's preliminary heat, running it in 13.32 seconds and qualifying for the semifinals. She finished 11th in the semifinals with a time of 13.46 seconds and did not advance to the final.
Senior Katy Eisenmenger, ranked fifth in the NCAA heading into the meet, finished 18th in the preliminaries with a time of 4:27.72 and did not advance to the final.
Junior Mark Menefee placed 16th in the 5,000-meter run with a time of 14:42.12 well ahead of his personal best of 13:52.80 earlier this season. David Kimani of Alabama won the event with a time of 13:59.30.
Freshman Broklyn Hann finished 17th in the triple jump with a mark of 40-83/4 feet. Teresa Bundy of Florida State won the event with a jump of 44-0 feet.
Redwine said the team's showing would be a springboard into further success next season.
"All of these seniors who are here have done a great job and are going to be missed," he said. "Katy ran a great race but just didn't qualify, and the same thing goes with Jennie."

Pitcher leads Royals to victory
CHICAGO (AP) — Miguel Asencio couldn't get a White Sox batter out in his big league debut. Nearly two months later, Chicago couldn't figure him out.
Asencio got his first major league win as the Kansas City Royals defeated the Chicago White Sox 3-2 Tuesday night.
In his big league debut April 6 against the White Sox, Asencio walked all four batters he faced on a total of 16 pitches.
"It was another great performance by Asencio — that's three now," Royals manager Tony Pena said. "He's making it tough to move him out of the rotation. He's been pitching well for me. He's tough."
In his third career start, Asencio (1-0) limited Chicago to four hits and a run in 6 1-3 innings. He walked two and struck out two.
Asencio has also made 10 appearances in relief this season.
Asencio was able to keep the White Sox 3-4-5 hitters in check. FrankThomas, Magglio Ordonez and Paul Konerko went a combined 1-for-8 against Asencio. Konerko singled in the fourth inning.
(The White Sox have loss eight of nine and
"Sometimes you try too hard that you struggle and struggle because you are too tense and not relaxed," Chicago third baseman Jose Valentin said.
Mark Buehrle had his second opportunity to become the first nine-game winner in the AL, but was not helped by a struggling White Sox offense. In Buehrle's last two starts the White Sox have combined for five runs. Buehrle was 5-0 against the Royals lifetime before Tuesday's game.
have fallen to .500 (29-29) on the season.
"I think I would take this outing next time," Buehrle said. "Because ninety percent of the time we are going to win — when one of our starters goes out there and throws eight innings and three runs."
Buehrle (8-4) pitched eight innings and gave up seven hits and three runs.
Roberto Hernandez picked up his ninth save in 10 opportunities but not before Tony Graffenino hit a ball off him to load the bases with one out in the ninth. Hernandez then got Sandy Alomar to ground into a 6-4-3 double play to end it.

School is back in session and students are back on campus, but there's precious little athletic news for Jayhawks to sink their beaks into this summer.
Scott Russell proved that he's head and shoulders above everyone else, not just with his 6-foot-9 inch frame but with his victorious 262-foot javelin throw in the NCAA Championships last weekend.
Houston has the top choice, but has a glut of forwards so Gooden probably won't
One bit of Kansas sports info you can find out in real-time, though, is where Drew Gooden will go in the NBA draft on June 26.
He and other Kansas track athletes will be taking part in the US Open and USA Championships this summer, but unless you have a satellite TV system you're likely to have to rely on a newspaper or web site to find out those results.
Kansas is searching for a new baseball coach to replace Bobby Randall, who resigned after five straight losing seasons and back-to-back finishes at the bottom of the Big 12 Conference, but you won't know who the new coach is until after athletics director Al Bohl makes his decision.
The draft begins at 6:30 p.m. on TNT and you better tune in early because, barring an avalanche of trades. Gooden is likely to go in the first four picks.
be wearing those ridiculous blue pinstripes anvtime soon.
Assuming Houston keeps the pick and takes 7-foot-5 inch Chinese center Yao Ming, Chicago would likely draft Duke's Jay "Don't Confuse Me With Some Accused Murderer" Williams. Bulls general manager Jerry Krause needs someone to get the ball inside to giant teenagers Tyson Chandler and Eddy Curry, and with those two up front and Eddie Robinson and former Iowa State star Marcus Fizer at small forward, there's not much room for Gooden in Chicago, which he should probably consider a blessing.
Chicago may seem like heaven compared to the hell that is Gooden's likely destination — the Golden State Warriors.
The Warriors are close to Gooden's hometown of Richmond, Calif., but they haven't had a prayer of making the finals since breaking up Run TMC (Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond and Chris Mullen)
after the 1990-91 season.
Golden State, 21-61 last season, is in desperate need of a point guard to get the ball to Jason Richardson and Antwan Jamison, but Williams will likely be off the board by the third pick.
If the Warriors — and Gooden — get lucky, the Memphis Grizzlies, who have the number four pick, will trade with Chicago to guarantee getting Duke product Mike Dunleavy, who Memphis GM Jerry West could mold in his own image, which would leave Williams for Golden State at number three.
Gooden is likely to be chosen by a team that finished in the bottom of its division last year and won't be in playoff contention for at least a year, making it likely that Gooden will have to become accustomed to more than just the professional game — he'll have to learn to deal with a lot of losing.
Gooden is the obvious choice if the Warriors don't trade down because Golden State's five frontcourt players average 7.88 points per game for their careers, and Gooden can add a scoring presence down low.
Gooden could drop as low as number seven, where the Knicks would scoop up Gooden to play next to and for the oftinjured Marcus Camby.

University announces job,program cuts
By Lauren Beatty Kansan staff writer
Twenty-two University of Kansas employees received their walking papers earlier this week, and more job cuts may be on the way.
The University faces a $7.1 million budget shortfall for the new fiscal year, which begins July 1. In addition to the 22 employees who will lose their jobs at the end of the next fiscal year, 32 vacant positions will also be cut next fall.
The cuts affect the Kansas Geological Survey, the Museum of Anthropology and other research units.
Lee Allison, state geologist and director of the survey, said the survey was hit especially hard by the budget cuts because they were funded by the state but operated by the University. That means the survey and the museum can't share the money that will come to the University from tuition increases.
But the University does get to decide how the survey's budget will be cut. The University chose to eliminate the mathematical geology program because its research did not primarily focus on Kansas geology, Allison said.
Six employees of the mathematical program will lose their jobs in June 2003. Because they are giving the employees such an advanced notice, Allison hopes
they can find other jobs at the University.
"It doesn't look good," he said. "Within the next few months things may be worse. We are well-positioned to prepare for more cuts by holding five empty positions, cutting operating costs - we have some flexibility. This has been very disturbing and painful for all of us involved."
At the Museum of Anthropology in Spooner Hall, five employees will lose their jobs, including curator Brad Logan. The exhibition space will also close.
The cuts on the Lawrence campus are the second wave of bad news this year. In late March, the University of Kansas Medical Center was first to announce job cuts.
Kevin Boatright, associate executive vice chancellor for University Relations, said up to 90 positions would be eliminated, including 20 faculty positions at the Med Center. It was during that time Chancellor Robert Hemenway first told a senate committee that up to 175 positions on the Lawrence campus could be eliminated.
All schools and departments at the University are preparing for the cuts. James K. Gentry, dean of journalism, said his school was asked to cut $26,383 from its budget. He said the school would save money by not filling vacant positions left by faculty who died or quit. He said so far the cuts had not affected the school.
Although no journalism faculty had been laid off, not hiring new faculty members leaves a void in the schools' curriculum. Gentry said.
"All of us are concerned about the future. Anytime you reduce services, that's an adverse effect. If more students are put into classes that impacts the quality of your education. All of us will feel the pain."
Angela Lumpkin dean of education
"We'd like to offer more electives," he said. "But our focus now is on getting you the basics."
Other deans are just as worried as about what lies ahead. Angela Lumpkin, dean of education, said the school would have to be thrifty with its money by not filling vacant positions, reducing the number of hours employees could work and possibly closing computer labs on the weekends. She said she didn't know exactly how much money the school of education would be required to cut.
"All of us are concerned about the
future," she said. "Anytime you reduce services, that's an adverse effect. If more students are put into classes that impacts the quality of your education. All of us will feel the pain."
No education faculty members have been laid off from the Lawrence campus yet. Lumpkin said the School of Education opted to continue its search for faculty, which made its budget tighter.
At the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, in which 54 percent of the student body was enrolled last year, searches for new faculty were called off, but Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, dean of liberal arts and sciences, said she was expecting to have to do more than that.
"We were asked to cut one percent of our budget," she said. "We were prepared to cut three percent."
The total budget for the college is $63 million. If there are more cuts, the dean's office will make all budget decisions, not individual departments. McCluskey-Fawcett said the last straw would be laying off faculty.
"We would have to be in dire straits," she said. "But if cuts continue, there might not be anything left to cut. We're down to the bare bones now as it is."

RUNNING WITH THE DOGS STORY BY JAY PILGREEN = PHOTOS BY LAURIE SIK
'Dog Days' workout gives residents the chance to fight the winter bulge all summer long
Before I recap my athletic experience at Dog Days, I think it necessary to reveal a history of my college experience and choices I have made.
I am what you would call a night person. I have worked in two separate bars and restaurants for the past three years, and because of my employment, I have a few vices.
First off, I have trouble falling asleep before 3 a.m., and I don't sleep very well. I have an occasional beer and a cigarette or two within an hour of waking (sorry Mother). Secondly, I haven't participated in any athletic activity since I played basketball my sophomore year of high school about seven years ago.
That said, I found myself standing on the field in Memorial Stadium doing jumping jacks at 6 a.m. yesterday. Don "Red Dog" Gardner, who I later learned co-founded the program in 1984, was on a bullhorn barking orders to the crowd. I joined more than 200 people in sets of 15 jumping jacks, 15 pushups, 15 volleyball jumps and two laps around the track.
Occasionally, I'll do a few sit-ups to keep the beer gut somewhat at bay, but I hadn't done them in a while, so I was rested. About halfway around that first lap

though, I felt the rhythm of breath, which I learned in junior high track, quickly gives way to a terrible wheezing sound. I remembered my coaches telling me to breathe in through my nose and outthrough my mouth, but when I tried, I sucked a couple of early-morning boogers into my throat and
began to cough.
Dog Days is a program that allows people of all ages to have a steady exercise regiment. Participants range from high school students to Lawrence residents. The program meets at 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays and at 8 a.m. Saturdays. Gardner said that in July, the program would also meet every weekday at noon and expand to every weekday at 6 p.m. He said this was

because most athletes returned in July.
Gardner, 53, was a sergeant in the Marines and has been a voluntary trainer for Lawrence High School for 20 years. He said he started the program for Lawrence High football players, and within a couple of years, the number of college participants grew. A few years after the start of the program, it moved to the University.
Gardner said the athletics department let him hold the program in the stadium, and that the donation was good for students and residents. He hoped his program could help fill the stadium during games.
"Some people would never be in the stadium if it weren't for it," Gardner said.
Brad Nachtigal, director of Facilities and Events, said the athletics department allowed the use of the facility because the program was a long-standing tradition. He said it gave exposure to the campus and the facilities to residents.
"It is a good community event that a lot of people in the community participate in." Nachtigal said.
After University football players joined the program, Gardner said volleyball,softball and track members hopped on the wagon.
After we finished the two laps, there wasn't the water break I had anticipated. I immediately waddled back onto the field for a new set of calisthenics and stretches.

THE WORKOUT
'Dogs' routine follows established circuit
By Matt Norton Kansan sportswriter
I have to admit I had a little fear of the unknown as I pulled into the Memorial Stadium parking lot at 5:50 AM Tuesday to run with the Red Dogs.
I had seen this group working out in the past, running stadium stairs and up the Campanile in startling volumes, but had never worked out with them before.
Although in good running shape, I have pretty much written off strength training for the past several months as I prepare for some summer track meets. Would that become evident as junior high school students and soccer moms performed three pushups to my one?
But I was fortunate. I survived the pushups and sit-ups, though I fear the muscles worked will remind me over the next few days that they have been underused.
The type of training you'll encounter with the Red Dogs is commonly called circuit training, and it be can very beneficial to a wide spectrum of fitness levels.
Peter Coe and David Martin, coauthors of "Better Training for Distance Runners," and mentors for world-class athletes such as two-time Olympic 1,500 meter champion Sebastian Coe, said that circuit training was invented in Great Britain in the 1950s.
The benefit of circuit training lies in its ability to create a progressive load on the entire body as you work individual muscle groups without resting.
The pair state in the book that circuit training, when done properly, will improve strength, power, stamina, agility flexibility and cardiovascular conditioning.
---
They are right, but consider some things before taking on the Red Dogs.
This type of training has the most benefit to those looking to add variety to their fitness regime. In other words, those of you looking to start getting in shape after nine months of pizza, beer and all-night study sessions would be better served by starting with some walking, light jogging or introductory weight training to get your body accustomed to exercise again.
whether you're an Olympic hopeful or a grown-up version of the kid who never got picked for the basketball game at recess.
The benefit of circuit training lies in its ability to create a progressive load on the entire body as you work individual muscle groups without resting. As you can imagine, this is difficult, and finishing the workout with two (or most likely more, as the group progresses through the summer) trips up the Campanile is a challenge
A quick glance at the 250 people working out Tuesday morning confirms that all levels of fitness are represented by the group. Chances are you'll see someone you know working out. And that can be good or bad.
This can be a helpful motivator for those athletes who like the camaraderie of working out with teammates. For those who played a sport in high school, Red Dogs will have the familiar feel of a preseason workout with the team.
If you're someone who is self-conscious when you workout, be advised there are a lot of people there who will run circles around you. But you can use that as motivation as well, or simply ignore them and focus on your own improvement, which is what I would advise, because some people you can probably run circles around.
Remember, consistency is far and away the most important aspect of any training program. But working out with the Red Dogs two or three times a week this summer could be a fun way to get in the kind of shape that will wow your friends when they come back to school in the fall.

--you to try and do everything, and they don't tolerate making fun of each other. Gardner said.
Don "Red Dog" Gardner leads about 250 participants in a before-dawn workout Tuesday morning at Memorial Stadium.
MIDDLE SCHOOL STADIUM
Running with the dogs
We began with 20 more jumping jacks, followed by 15 lunges per leg. They were counting off the number we were doing, and I remember knowing I was behind, but thinking if I fell far enough back, they might think I had done them all. I'm sly like a fox, baby.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5
Then we did 20 pushups and 20 sit-ups. Now when I say that I do sit-ups, they are more like little crunches or mini sit-ups. I don't actually lift my head all the way to my knees. That takes work. I got through about ten and my energy gave way.
Next we were told to do 20 leg lifts (I got about 8), 20 leg spreads (I got about 9) and 50 bicycle kicks per leg. At this point I kind of just spaced out and tried to do it until the person next to me quit. To be quite honest, I would have done far less than I did, but a Kansan photographer was standing next to me taking my picture. I didn't want to look lazy, though my laziness was clear.
Then came the big daddy closer. We were told to leave the stadium and run up the Campanile on the far side and return on the near side — twice. Man, people just hopped out of the stadium and took off. I know keeping a heart rate up requires a constant workout, but my heart rate was not only up, I could hear it. So I strolled to the water fountain, started to run and after a few paces decided to walk the remainder of the one lap I had already decided to do.
I got almost to the top and took the shortcut. I remembered my high school basketball coach telling me that if I cut corners there, I would cut corners for the rest of my life. I also remember him telling me to get in the "pain zone." Since I was well into that zone, I thought that advice conflicted with the throbbing in my chest. And since I thought I had not cut corners in any part of my life since, you bet your butt I took that shortcut. A few people lapped me, but nobody said anything. Gardner said this was one of the three rules.

Casey Lauer, Lawrence senior, said he started working with Gardner while he was a football player at Lawrence High. He said his football coaches required it, but when he went to college, he found different reasons to continue the program.
"You go to college and get fat," Lauer said. "Then in the summertime you just work it off."
Lauer said he had participated in Dog Days for seven years — a little out of my league. I did happen to run into another rookie. Gretchen Chapple, 29, Lawrence resident, said her physical therapist had turned her on to Dog Days. She said she used to be athletic, but having children caused her to slow her routine. She said she was trying to get it back.
"I love it, it's great," Chapple said.

Middle Eastern students face tougher restrictions when studying in the US
By Lauren Beatty Kansan staff writer
Students from Middle Eastern nations may find it harder to study at the University of Kansas next fall.
The Justice Department proposed new anti-terrorism visa regulations June 5. The new regulations will require anyone from a Middle Eastern or Muslim nation to be photographed and fingerprinted if they stay in the United States for more than a month.
A visa is part of the passport, which is required for admission into the United States.
Not only will foreign students have to be photographed and fingerprinted before starting school, they will also be tracked once they start via a new government program called SEVIS.
Joe Potts, director of International Student and Scholar Services said about 240 students from Middle Eastern countries attended the University last year. He said he wasn't sure how the new regulations would affect that number.
SEVIS, or Student Exchange Visitor Information System, will be implemented in January 2003. All schools that admit foreign students are required by the government to be on the program.
Government mandates software to track foreign students
Student and Scholar Services, said the database would contain visa information about students. Schools will also use SEVIS to notify Immigration and Naturalization Services when foreign students arrive and when they leave, Potts said.

"I can see some students feeling it is unfair to single them out," Potts said. "They might decide to go to schools in countries where that is not done at the border. On the other hand, maybe the students won't be bothered. It will be a way to avoid being subjected to other types of scrutiny."
scrutiny. Potts said other countries were actively recruiting foreign students who once
would have come to the United States to study,but were now afraid to.
Raghavendran Nagarajan, Srina, India, graduate student, said he understood why the United States implemented the new regulations, but didn't think they were fair.
"It's within the rights of the nation," he said. "They have no other way, but they should target people from certain countries like Pakistan or Afghanistan, not on the basis of suspicion."
the bursar Nagarajan arrived in August last year and plans to stay until next May. He is in the country on a F-1 student visa, which
would require him to go through the new regulation process had he arrived this August instead of last year. He said if he had gone through the fingerprinting and photographing, he wouldn't have come to the country.
"That is treating people like criminals," he said.

Body found in Lewis Hall
A body was found June 12 on the first floor of Lewis Hall, the KU Public Safety Office said in a statement. Police said they received a call at 5:45 a.m. from a housing employee.
the body of Samuel C. Sparks, a 21 year-old Lawrence resident and maintenance employee in the building, was found in a mechanical room by a supervisor reporting for work.
Police said there were no indications of criminal activity,but an investigation of the circumstances would continue.
Autopsy determines cause of student's March death
An autopsy report indicated that Benjamin G. Hartter, former senior from Morrill, died of asphyxiation.The report indicated the death was likely related to nitrous oxide use.
Because of the circumstances at the scene, nitrous oxide likely caused Harter to suffocate, Mitchell wrote.
Though nitrous oxide was not found in the body, the Douglas County coroner said the test could fail.
Hartter was found March 20 in the basement of a clinic shared by dentists Thomas Rainbolt and John Wulfkuhle, 316 Maine St., where he was a part-time employee. He was found near a container of nitrous oxide, according to the autopsy report.

Endeavour landing postponed, second day for weather delays
SPACE CENTER, Houston (AP) — Bad weather at two sites forced flight controllers to cancel all landing attempts Tuesday for space shuttle Endeavour, postponing for yet another day the return to Earth for the three men who spent a record six months aboard the international space station.
This was the second day in a row weather prevented Endeavour from returning to Earth.
Flight controllers canceled the first landing opportunity at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida because of thick clouds and showers.
But they held out hope the shuttle could land during the second and last attempt for Tuesday. However, the weather did not improve.
Monday's two landing times in Florida also were called off because of bad weather.
"We're disappointed," shuttle commander Kenneth Cockrell told Mission Control.
A backup landing site at Edwards Air Force Base in California was called up. But flight controllers decided Tuesday morning not to use it because of concerns about gusty wind around the base and improved forecasts on Wednesday for both the Florida and California landing sites.
The shuttle can stay in orbit until Thursday.
Keg registration to begin this summer
By Jay Pilgreen Kansan staff writer
Beginning July 1, students who buy kegs will have to provide more information to retailers.
The Kansas Senate passed the Beer and Cereal Malt Beverage Keg Registration Act that goes into effect at the start of next month.
The bill requires retailers to attach a keg identification tag, supplied by the state, and hold records until the keg is returned or for six months from the date of sale. According to the bill, if a violation such as underage consumption occurs, any law enforcement officer can inspect these records and the purchaser of the keg and the retailer can be prosecuted
According to Senate Bill No.407, the state will require retailers who sell kegs for private consumption to record a keg number, date of sale, purchaser's name and address and a driver's license number. Those customers who don't have a driver's license must provide an official form of identification with both a picture and a signature for the retailer to record.
Law enforcement officers can also prosecute any person who alters the identification number in any way.
Marty McGarrigle, Detroit senior, said though he did not condone underage drinking, he was worried how far the state might go to keep tabs on beer sales.
The bill requires retailers to attach a keg identification tag supplied by the state, and hold records until the keg is returned or for six months from the date of sale.
"I don't know where the line will be drawn," he said. "Where's it going to stop?"
McGarrigle, a manager at Myers Retail Liquor, 902 W. 23rd St., said he was worried how the new law would affect business. He said the liquor store sold between 20 and 80 kegs per weekend, and he was afraid a decrease in keg sales might affect employees.
"If the store drops to not carrying kegs anymore, or only sells a handful, we will drop people," he said.
McGarrigle said the liquor store already had a policy of requesting information when customers purchased new kegs, but when customers brought empty kegs to trade for full ones, employees only checked their driver's license or identification card. He said this amounted to half of the store's keg sales.
Because the store would have to register new kegs every time they sold one, McGarrigle said that the trade-in option would no longer be available, and that the store would require a deposit for each keg. He said the hassle would probably affect

sales.
Blake Webster, Wichita senior, said that with the new law, he would not buy as many kegs.
"It would be harder to get that money out of my account, then deposit it when I got it back," Webster said.

Task force searches for new MRC location
By Lauren Beatty Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas Multicultural Resource Center wants to find the best location for its facilities.
Jonathan Ng, student body president, said Chancellor Robert Hemenway gave $500 to the MRC task force Friday to conduct a feasibility study. The study would determine if the Kansas Union would be a good location for the new center.
"This commitment of initial funds for the feasibility study shows the chancellor is committed to working with us on this project, which is crucial for improving minority retention and recruitment," Ng said. "He said this project is worthwhile and that he endorses the idea of a stronger MRC."
Hemenway could not be reached for comment because he was out of town.
Ng said the task force had four goals; to seek different locations on campus, to determine the best home for the new center, to outline the mission of the MRC and determine the cost of a new location and to research cultural resource centers at other universities.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
The feasibility study is part of the first goal. Ng said the Union would be the best choice for the new MRC because of its central location and accessibility, but other locations would be considered. The task force might consider constructing a new building for the center.

as quickly as possible, but he didn't know when results would be available.
The MRC is a resource on campus that offers sensitivity training, cultural workshops and seminars for all students. The MRC has informal meeting spaces, classrooms, a computer lab and a TV lounge.
Santos Nupez, director of the MRC said the current location, in the annex of the Military Science Building, is out of the way. Students who didn't see the building didn't use it. Nupez said.
"We want to be more visible, which would lend more credibility to the work we are doing." Nupez said. "We also need more up-to-date facilities."

Athletics Department hires new head trainer for football
By Lauren Beatty Kansan staff writer
Carol Jarosky is doing what no woman at the University of Kansas has ever done on the football field.
Jarosky is the first woman to work as head athletic trainer for the football team. It is a big opportunity but also a big responsibility, she said.
A former athlete herself, Jarosky got her start in athletic training at Northwest Missouri State University after a major hamstring injury from playing softball. After spending weeks in the training room, she knew she wanted to major in training. She graduated in 1991 and later earned a master's degree from the University of Nebraska.
"I do feel like I'm breaking new ground," she said. "I'm going to put more stress on myself to make sure I don't close any doors that I've opened. I've got to make sure I get the job done right and make sure that opportunity isn't taken away."
Nearly a decade ago, the playing field for women athletic trainers wasn't as level as it
"It's evened up now," she said. "As injury rates go up for Olympic sports and softball and soccer, the doors are opened up for women."
Jarosky came to Kansas in 1994 and worked in the training room primarily with women's teams. Jarosky got the chance to treat male and female athletes later, working for three years as rehabilitation coordinator. But it was last season when she began working with the football team full time. Former football coach Terry Allen asked her to work with his team as an assistant athletics trainer.
was today, Jarosky said.
When former head trainer Ed Lochrie announced he was leaving for the University of Minnesota earlier this year, Jarosky jumped at the chance to replace him.
"I'm excited about the opportunity and the job," she said. "Coach Mangino and I have built a strong relationship, and I'm excited about where the football team is going."

Wesley Teal, of Lawrence, helps set up the medical aid station on the campgrounds of the North American Anarchists Gathering at Clinton Lake on June 6. About 500 registrants took part in the annual four-day gathering, which works to increase dialogue about democratic ideas.
Convention aims to dispel myths about anarchists
Nate Hoffman can count on most of his fingers some of the red flags that pop up when someone mentions the word "anarchist" to the average American.
By Mandalee Meisner Special to the Kansan
"The Anarchist Cookbook, violent images, a man dressed in black throwing Molotov cocktails at police officers," he said, sitting in the shade at the entrance to the 2002 North American Anarchist Convention (or NAAC), held June 6 to 9 just outside of Lawrence.
The gathering brought in members of the nationwide anarchist community for a weekend of discourse. Gatherers attended discussion-based workshops dealing with various issues within the movement.
Hoffman, a junior at KU and one of 20 local organizers for the event, said the stereotypical bombthrower was the exception rather than the rule.
"We just plain aren't terrorists," he said.
"We don't harm other human beings."
Hoffman watched as cars pulled in and out of the campgrounds near Clinton
Lake, where the event took place. Beyond the lines of parked vehicles, tents pitched by more than 300 attendees lined a clearing. In the distance, one of the workshop leaders held a circle of spectators in rapt attention.
"It's a common misconception that anarchists are out to destroy something," Christopher Plummer, another organizer, said. "If you look at the itinerary for the workshops, you can't find one that's about taking something apart. It's only about building and making things better."
Plummer served eight years in the Texas prison system after raiding the home of a neo-Nazi group in Houston. He fidgeted with his walkie-talkie. A Kansas Highway Patrol officer had recently visited the campsite, delivering information that members of the National Alliance, a prominent neo-Nazi group, might show up to cause a disturbance. The officer had asked the organizers to notify authorities if gathering attendees saw any members of the Aryan organization.

Anarchist gathering CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10
But neither Plummer nor Hoffman expected any trouble.
"I've been dealing with anti-fascist work more than anybody else here," Plummer said, rubbing a tattoo drenched arm. "I don't think they'll dare show up."
The gathering proved peaceful.
And excepting the occasional murder of an unwelcome deer tick, it also proved entirely nonviolent.
Anarchists embrace self-sufficiency, along with the fight against unjustified authority, as two of the most basic tenets of their ideology.
With these values in mind, organizers and attendees worked together to ensure a safe, anarchist-friendly environment for gatherers. Organizers decided, by consensus, to prohibit drugs and alcohol on site.
All decisions were unanimous. Hoffman described what happened when a group in one camp disrupted nearby campers with their all-night partying.
"After they passed out, we got everyone up that we could at seven o'clock in the morning," he said. "We explained to everyone the situation, and then sat as a unified group in front of them."
As they awakened, a group of ten confronted the revelers, explained their discomfort, and asked them to leave. The problem group slowly packed, and left without conflict. This situation exemplified, to Hoffman, the cooperative nature of anarchism.
"Our goal here is to prove that as a community, we can solve any problems that we have," Hoffman said. "It would seem very odd if whenever anarchists had problems, we just called the police."
Under a workshop tent in the mid-afternoon sun, Adrian "Ace" Allan stood and leaned over a volunteer who was sitting on her knees.
She held a water bottle about four inches away from a volunteer's head, and then squeezed a short, steady stream of water into her right eye.
This, she said, was the proper way to
flush a painful coating of tear gas out of a protestor's eye.
Allan helped out at a workshop, "First Aid at Mass Actions," at the gathering. It was one of many workshops that focused on one of the mainstays of anarchism: the protest.
"How many people here have experienced tear gas?" she asked, raising her hand slightly.
A few hands shot up.
A girl who called herself simply "Becca," described the sensation of accidentally running through a cloud of tear gas.
"You can't see anything," she said, bringing her hands to eyes shut in mock pain. "I couldn't breathe. I didn't think that I'd ever breathe again."
Frank Black, a street medic, agreed with Becca that tear gas is an awfully painful way to end a protest. Black is both an experienced member of the anarchist community.
He said that several recent large-scale protests have changed the shape of anarchism today.
"Things are heating up right now," he said, walking from a medic tent to his car to retrieve a pair of demonstration goggles.
Like battle sites, protests are known simply by the name of the city in which they take place: Genoa, Seattle, and Quebec, for instance.
Black said the 1999 anti-WTO protest in Seattle became the benchmark of the modern American protest.
"Seattle drew in lots of people to the movement," he said.
Tens of thousands of protestors, many of them anarchists, swamped the city during ministerial meetings for the World Trade Organization. Actions in the streets disrupted WTO discussions, and Mayor Paul Schell declared a state of emergency.
"I've made plans for next year, at least," he said.
For Black, Seattle was just one of many battles. He said he hoped there would be many more.

Jay Antle, Antle Bay, Texas, doctoral student in American Studies, gets his kicks out of chasing storms. Antle has traveled all over taking pictures of storms.
LAURIE SISK/KANSAN
Student keeps his sights on the eye of the storm
By Todd Smith Kansas staff writer
Most people head for the basement when the National Weather Service announces a tornado warning, but not Jay Ante and Mike Umscheid. They chase tornadoes through the Great Plains.
Antle, Baytown, Texas, doctoral student in American and environmental history, said he chased storms because he enjoyed being around "raw, untamed nature."
He said he liked the challenge of forecasting severe thunderstorms.
"When you are in the presence of a rotating thunderstorm 50,000 feet tall, and it is shooting off lightning at a stroke of every two or three seconds, that is a truly awesome kind of an experience," he said.
Antle looks at computer models done by the weather service that are available on the Internet and gains a sense of where tornado-producing storms will be. He maps out a 100-square-mile area, heads out and hopes a severe thunderstorm develops.
Umscheid, Overland Park graduate student in atmospheric science, said timing was everything in storm chasing.

A tornado sweeps through a field in Pratt in April 2001.
"It is important for storm chasers to arrive at the storm early in its lifetime to increase the chances of seeing a tornado," Umscheid said.
Significant tornadoes can last up to 30 to 40 minutes, he said.
Umscheid said he was two miles away from a tornado in Pratt in April 2001 that was on the ground for 30 minutes.
Antle said the worst destruction he has ever witnessed was a tornado hitting a farmhouse near Seward, Neb. The tornado was an F-4 on the Fujita Tornado Damage Scale, which means it had winds up to 260 mph.
Umscheid said that he took storm-chaser vacations to witness tornadoes.
He said the best time of the year for storm chasers to intercept tornadic storm

cells was from roughly May 20 through June 5.
Umscheid said he would chase storms wherever the weather patterns took him, whether it be in Kansas, as far south as Texas, or as far north as the Dakotas.
"In a 10 to 13 day storm chase vacation,
I can log as much as 7,000 miles on my vehicle." Umscheid said.
Umscheid said he had storm tracking equipment to track tornadoes on the road.
He said he only had the bare essentials for storm tracking.
Umscheid has a scanner for picking up National Oceanic & Atmospheric Association Weather Radio transmissions, a CB radio for communicating with others, a cell phone, and he just bought a laptop computer this year with Global Positioning Systems software for navigation.
Umscheid said chasing costed money.
He said one chase day can cost him between $65 and $90 for gas, food and lodging. During a chase vacation he can easily spend $900 on these things alone. In an entire year he estimates that he spends $2000 to $3500 if he includes new gadgets that he buys for storm chasing.
Umscheid said that storm chasing falls in line with his career interest of meteorology and he enjoyed storm chasing as a hobby.
Antle said he would keep chasing storms until the day he died.

A tornado in Seward, Neb. registers as an F-4 on the Fujita Tornado Damage Scale. This means the tornado had winds up to 260 mph. Antle said watching the tornado hit the barn was the worst scene of destruction he'd witnessed during his years of storm chasing.

Unwelcome e-mail bothers students; University aims at decreasing it
By Lauren Beatty Kansan staff writer
From spam to scams, harrassing e-mail is out there — and it's tougher than ever to get rid of it.
Jessica Julich, Kansas City, Mo., junior said she received six to seven spam, or unsolicited. e-mails per day on her University of Kansas account. The e-mails Julich received were almost always ads for goods or services.
"It's annoying," she said. "Ninety percent of my e-mail is junk mail. You have to go through and delete it all, and you could miss something important and accidentally delete e-mails from class. I try to go
Jenny Mehmedovic, assistant to the vice chancellor for information services, said the University was trying to cut down on the amount of unsolicited e-mail students recieved.
through and unsubscribe to each one, so for a few days it slows down, but it starts to build up again."
"People can forward it to us, and we will contact the sender to determine if they had a legitimate reason for sending the e-mail," she said. "We will take additional measures if necessary."
She said the University never gave out student e-mail addresses for commercial use but it was still possible for people to extract them from the student directory.
Mehmedovic said people could also receive spam when they registered their e-mails somewhere on the Internet.
"Be aware of what agreements you're getting into when you accept; it may be possible you have agreed to receive these messages," she said.
The Legislature is trying to do something about spam too. In May, the governor signed into law a bill that makes it a violation of the Kansas Consumer Protection Act to send any e-mail that promotes goods or services. Any business that violates this act could face a fine of $500 to $10,000.

Parents protest Nickelodeon special about gay families
NEW YORK — Nickelodeon is going ahead with a children's special about same-sex parents, despite receiving so many e-mails that the network had to create a separate address to avoid a computer crash.
The half-hour report, produced by Linda Ellerbee and featuring Rosie O'Donnell, includes comments from the Rev. Jerry Falwell — who later joined conservative activists in urging Nickelodeon not to air it.
The network received 100,000 e-mails and phone calls to protest the program, set to air at 9 p.m. EDT Tuesday.
The Washington-based Traditional Values Coalition has spearheaded the campaign against "Nick News Special Edition: My Family is Different," sight unseen.
"It is a cover for promoting homosexuality for kids," said Andrea Lafferty, the coalition's executive director.
Nickelodeon said that's not so. Ellerbee, in the show's introduction, says, "The following program is about tolerance ... It is not about sex. It does not tell you what to think."
Ellerbee, who won a Peabody Award for a Nickelodeon special that delicately dissected the Monica Lewinsky scandal for children, said she conceived of this show upon reading that the word "fag" had become the most common schoolyard epithet.
The program is largely a discussion. Although it also features a gay school principal and a gay New York City firefighter who is a father of three, children are the focus.
O'Donnell's public acknowledgment that she was a lesbian put the subject in the news, Ellerbee said. The former talk-show host has adopted three children.
Some children with gay parents talk about feeling uncomfortable about what other kids say in school. Other children
discuss their objection to homosexuality.
discuss their objectives. "It is never a wrong time to talk about hate," Ellerbee said. "It's just not. That's all our show is about. It is not in any way about the homosexual lifestyle. It's not even introducing the subject to most kids. They know. But quite frankly, many of them know it from a hate standpoint without even knowing what they're talking about."
But Lafferty said, "They keep saying it is not about sexuality. It is about sexuality."
"They have been led to believe that Nick is a safe harbor," she said. "Now they've been exposed. The skirt has been lifted and Nick has been exposed."
Falwell agreed to be interviewed and is quoted expressing his opposition to homosexuality on Christian grounds. He also said it's important to respect other points of view and not react with violence.
Nickelodeon's content upset parents because many thought they never had to worry about it, she said.
He said later, in an interview with The Associated Press, that he is sorry Nickelodeon feels the need to "indoctrinate" children into homosexuality.
"Nickelodeon should stay away from endorsing lifestyles that are generally not accepted by the American public," Falwell said. "It turns a children's network into something parents feel a responsibility to edit and carefully filter."
Asked how he reconciled his participation in the show with a call not to air it, Fallow said, "I've often said I would preach in hell if they promised to let me out."
Ellerbee said she was disappointed by Falwell's later comments.
Most of Ellerbee's Nick News programs air at 8:30 p.m. This show had been pushed back a half-hour because of its sensitive subject matter, said Herb Scannell, Nickelodeon's chief executive.
Deal reached in 22-year-old kidnapping case
NEW YORK A couple charged with kidnapping a baby 22 years ago and raising him as their son has reached a plea deal with prosecutors, defense lawyers said Tuesday.
two to six years in prison in exchange for pleading guilty to second-degree kidnapping, said his lawyer, Raymond Colon.
Judith Smiley, 55, was expected to plead guilty to second-degree kidnapping and first-degree custodial interference for a six-month prison term and five years' probation, according to her attorney, Steven Brill.
The deal calls for Barry Smiley, 56, to get
Brill said that his client — who is confined to a wheelchair — would be sentenced to less jail time than her husband due to her poor health.
The Smileys were about to begin trial on charges they fled with the boy to Albuquerque, N.M., in 1980 after a judge declared their adoption was invalid because the birth mother had not given her full consent. They called the boy Matthew Propp.
The deal calls for Barry Smiley, 56, to get two to six years in prison in exchange for pleading guilty to second-degree kidnapping.
Propp, now 23, said he loves the Smileys and that he did not want them to go to prison. The Smileys each could have faced up to 25 years behind bars if convicted at trial.

Professor meets Arafat, discusses peace in Mideast
By Todd Smith Kansan staff writer
When Deborah Gerner first met Yasser Arafat, she was impressed with the leader's charm.
Now she saw in his frail stature the toll the Israeli-Palestinian conflict had taken on his life.
Left: Palestinians at checkpoint Qalandia. Right: A guard checking peoples items at the checkpoint at Qalandia, Palestine
On May 18, Arafat met with Deborah Gerner, professor of political science and a specialist on conflict resolution, and a dozen other Arab, European and American scholars and journalists to discuss the current Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The conference, "The Second Transformation of Palestine," took place at a hotel in Ramallah, Palestine, and was sponsored by Berzeit University. Gerner was invited to the conference by the university.
CONTRIBUTED ART
Gerner said she met Arafat once before in the 1980s.
Gerner said Arafat talked about the peace negotiations and how they needed assistance from the U.S. government.
"He has the ability to talk to people and look at them intently so that you feel as though he is talking directly at you," Gerner said. "Until then I had never understood why Palestinians had such affection for him."
"That is what kept coming up over and over again," she said. "At one point he said, 'We are not asking for the moon.'"
Gerner said she thought the central
issue to the conflict was that Israelis were occupying Palestinian land in violation of U.N. resolutions and international law.
She said Palestinians also had to face blockades and checkpoints on roads between different parts of their territories.
"This means that if you are sick, you come in an ambulance and are stopped at the checkpoint, put on a stretcher and walked across the checkpoint area, and then put on another ambulance at the other side." Gerner said.
Her first-hand experiences of the conflict in the Middle East carry over into her classes.
Omur Yilmaz, graduate student from Cyprus, said she took Gerner's Politics of the Middle East and International Mediation and Conflict Resolution classes.
Yilmaz said Gerner's familiarity with the issues in the Middle East added practical knowledge to Gerner's courses and application to political science theories involving conflicts in countries.
Gerner lived in Ramallah in 1996 and has made about 20 trips to the Middle East since the mid-1980s. She taught international studies for graduate students at Birzeit University in Palestine.
The conference honored the late Palestinian-American Ibrahim Abu-Lughod, a scholar, author and activist who died May 23, 2001, in Ramallah at the age of 72. Abu-Lughod had been a doctoral adviser to Gerner when he taught at Northwestern University. The international studies program at Birzeit was renamed in his honor.
"It is one thing to talk about theories, it is a completely different thing to talk about the real experiences that leaders have, Yilmaz said. "Especially when she has observed leaders coming to the table to talk and negotiate."
The conference was supposed to be held at Birzeit University but the current conflict made it too difficult to hold it there.
On June 12, Gerner returned to Palestine with a group of Quakers focusing on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Quakers have been involved in a search for peace in the area since 1948.
"The Quakers have a long history working towards peace and reconciliation, so this is a continuation of that activity," Gerner said.
She said she found the Palestinians welcoming, warm and hospitable people that place a high value on education. Yet, they are understandably angry and demoralized.
"Palestinians have lived under occupation since 1967," Gerner said. "We forget that an entire generation of people have grown up only under occupation."
As a political scientist, Gerner has written and edited books on the Middle East conflict. Gerner edited Understanding the Contemporary Middle East in 2000. The second edition of her book, One Land, Two Peoples: The Conflict over Palestine, was published in 1994.

Kansas Graduate concentrates on professional career
By Matt Norton Kansan sportswriter
A week after claiming the NCAA title in the javelin throw, recent Kansas graduate Scott Russell had a frustrating practice last Thursday.
Russell and his coach, Doug Reynolds, attempted to fine tune his technique before the Canadian national championships in Edmonton later this month.
The coach grinned as Russell struggled to keep an arm locked in position, plant his left foot in a certain way and do all of the little things that turn a very good throw into a great one.
But on this day Russell wasn't clicking.
Couldn't the Jayhawk great do anything right, the coach and athlete joked to each other?
But after being reminded that he was the Canadian national record holder and NCAA champion, Russell assessed the event more seriously.
"I love throwing the event, but it's frustration because so many things can happen that take distance off the throw," he said.
But Russell figures to get much more out of his specialty event now.
He signed with agent John Nubuni last week, who also represents Jason Tunks and Brad Snyder, two of Canada's best shotput and discus throwers. After consulting with Reynolds and his agent, Ray Flynn, Russell decided to choose Nubuni.
Finalizing the decision was a relief, Russell said.
Russell also won a NCAA indoor title in the 35-pound weight throw, but because that event was not widely contested on the international scene, Russell will no longer compete in it.
With no collegiate season or alternate events to worry about, Russell now will focus on the javelin and becoming an international star in that event.
"Honestly, the weight was something that came easy to me," Russell said. "Competing indoors was a lot of fun, but now I'll be able to concentrate in the javelin and see where it takes me."
It could take him to Athens for the 2004 Olympics. According to Reynolds, no one in Canada can compete with Russell, and the coach said he knew Russell could make great strides in strength and technique.
"He's nowhere near close to fully developed yet," Reynolds said.
Russell said he would like to get a master's degree in physical therapy, but would not begin until after the Olympic year.

Track and field athletes ready for championships
By Matt Norton
Kansan sportswriter
Six Kansas track and field athletes compete this weekend at the USA Outdoor and USA Junior Championships in Palo Alto, Calif.
Recent graduate Charlie Gruber will represent Kansas in the senior portion of the event, running the 1,500 meters, while freshmen Kim Clark,800 meters, Brooklyn Hann, triple jump, Brandon Hodges, 800 meters, Megan Manthe, 1,500 meters, and Jeremy Mims, 800 meters, will run in the junior championships.
The junior championships are open to athletes who meet the qualifying standard and will not turn 20 years of age during 2002.
This will be the first competition since the Big 12 Conference Championships May 17 to19 for all of the athletes except Hann and Gruber.
Coach Stanley Redwine said he wasn't concerned about the athletes being stale from a lack of recent competition.
"A lot of the athletes they'll be running against will be high school students who had a state meet recently, but a lot of them will also be other college freshmen in the same boat as they," Redwine said. "We've been doing a lot of race-simulation workouts to keep them sharp, and hopefully that will work."
The meets this weekend will serve as qualifiers for the World Cup this September in Madrid, Spain, for the senior athletes and World Junior Championships next month in Kingston, Imaica.
Redwine said several Jayhawks could qualify.
"We like all of their chances but some are better than others," he said. "Some of them are going into the meet with the thought. 'I can do this.'"
Gruber, who had a disappointing race in the Big 12 finals and faded in the last lap of the NCAA final three weeks ago, said he was looking forward to this meet.
Gruber said a slight hamstring pull that occurred two weeks ago was fine, as evidenced by his victory in the 800 meters at Stanford after the injury.
But he would not do any hard running on the track this week to insure he would be ready for Friday's preliminary heat, Gruber said.
"I think I'm ready for a breakthrough," he said. "I definitely feel like I'm due. I've done all the hard work, now I just have to go out there and do it."
Redwine said Gruber's contribution to the track program at Kansas has been large and that "we're really excited he's wearing our uniform out there."
Redwine said that having the junior and senior championships in the same place, a first in 2002, is a benefit to programs like Kansas.
"The good thing is all those high school athletes and coaches will see Kansas out there competing and doing well," he said.

MLB teams pick former Jayhawks in draft
By Matt Norton
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas pitchers Dan Olsen and Jeff Davis were picked in the June 4 to 5 Major League Baseball draft.
Davis was picked in the 31st round by the Cleveland Indians and Olsen in the 32nd round by the Florida Marlins.
Davis left Monday for Burlington, N.C., to play for one of the Cleveland's short-season Class A farm teams.
Olsen will begin his professional career in Jupiter, Fla., at a mini-camp for Marlins' draftees. Then he will be assigned to a short-season Class A team as well.
Davis said last week that he couldn't wait to get started in Burlington. A starter last season for the Jayhawks with a 5-5 record and a 3.99 ERA, Davis said he didn't know whether he would be asked to be a starter or come off the bench in relief.
"I'm going to keep focusing on hitting spots, especially with the fastball. I also have to throw the off-speed pitch where I want, so hitters can't get a full swing on me."
Jeff Davis Former Kansas baseball player and 2002 MLB draft pick
Davis led the Jayhawks in wins and ERA, and posted arguably the team's best win, a 5-3 decision against then No. 11-ranked Texas, a team that has qualified for this year's College World Series.
A scout who talked to Davis told him the players he would face this summer were no
better than the ones he faced in his final year at KU.
"I'm going to keep focusing on hitting spots, especially with the fastball," Davis said. "I also have to throw the off-speed pitch where I want, so hitters can't get a full swing on me."
Olsen, 4-3 this year with a 4.00 ERA also led the Jayhawks to a victory against a top-20 opponent, getting the win in a 14-3 decision against Nebraska on April 28.The Huskers also qualified for the College World Series.
Davis said he couldn't stop thinking about becoming a professional baseball player, but knew he had a long way to go.
"I'm taking a step where I'm realizing how hard I have to work," Davis said. "I have an opportunity, and I want to make the most of it."

Don't let soccer fever die after World Cup
This Friday, while many of you will probably be sleeping still, history could be made on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
COMMENTARY
A
The U.S. World Cup team will face Germany at 6:30 a.m. in Ulsan, South Korea after defeating Mexico, 2-0, Monday in South Korea.The match will be the United States' most important game on the pitch ever—the team's first quarterfinal competition since the inaugural World Cup in 1930.
Levi Chronister lchronister@kansan.com
Germany, which defeated the United States, 4-2, in March, is a three-time World Cup champion and will provide quite a challenge for the Americans, but the United States has proved it can beat top teams, defeating fifth-ranked Portugal 3-2 in stage one.
The match will follow another outstanding face-off — Brazil and England at 1:30 a.m. Fridav.
Don't let that soccer fever die between the end of June and the end of August, though.
The Kansas soccer team, fresh off a program-high 13 wins and a first trip to the
So take a long nap Thursday afternoon, go out and enjoy the evening then stay up after closing time and watch these two great World Cup match-ups. Besides, it'll be Friday and what better way to start a weekend than by watching the U.S. and three of the world's greatest teams in the world's greatest sporting event?
Brazil, with four Cups, and England, with one, is the marquee matchup of the tournament so far, pitting the best chance for a European team to win a title outside of its home continent for the first time against the most-storied World Cup side and the only Latin American team remaining.
NCAA tournament, will begin its season Aug. 23 in Springfield, Mo., against Southwest Missouri State and will play its first home game a week later against UNLV at SuperTarget Field.
Mark Francis, the central region's Coach of the Year last season, will miss Hilla Rantala, the Finnish wonder who had 10 goals and 12 assists for a school-record 32 points as a senior last season, but talented sophomore forwards Monica Brothers (nine goals) and Rachel Gilfillan (eight) should see more playing time and help soften the loss.
Even more important to the Jayhawks could be the maturation of sophomore keeper Meghan Miller. The Seattle native saved 72.4 percent of the shots she faced last year and allowed just 1.4 goals per game. With a year of college competition behind her, she should be even better this fall.
With the national team reaching new highs in international competition, soccer could reach new highs in terms of national attention for the next couple weeks. Hopefully, students will keep that focus through July and put it on the Jayhawks this fall.

Stanford eliminates Notre Dame from series
The Associated Press
OMAHA, Nob. — Sam Fuld and Carlos Quentin homered and Stanford held off Notre Dame 5-3 Tuesday night and eliminated the Fighting Irish from the College World Series.
The Cardinal, CWS runners-up the last two years, improved to 40-0 this season when holding the lead after eight innings.
Stanford (47-17) will play Thursday against Texas in a rematch of the Longhorns' 8-7 win Monday that put the Cardinal in the elimination round. Texas needs just one win to reach Saturday's championship game of the double-elimination
The Fighting Irish (50-18) had 22 come-from-behind wins this season, but could not come up with one more after Stanford added an insurance run on Andy Topham's squeeze bunt in the ninth.
Steve Stanley was 2-for-3 with an RBI and a stolen base and scored a run for Notre Dame.
Dan Rich got his sixth save when he struck out Joe Thaman to end the game. Rich relieved John Hudgins (10-1) who allowed two earned runs and six hits over 52-3 innings.
Peter Ogilvie (7-5) recovered well after being down 2-0 on just three pitches, but didn't get the run support he needed. Ogilvie also went 5 2-3 innings, allowing
The Cardinal took a 2-0 lead on Fuld's second homer of the CWS and held on to it the rest of the way, although Notre Dame never fell behind by more than two runs.
four runs and seven hits.
After Stanford went up 4-2 in the sixth on an RBI single by Jason Cooper, the Irish came right back with a run in the bottom half of the inning. Brian Stavisky led off with a single and scored when Quentin bobbled the ball right after a single by Paul O'Toole.
The Irish had runners at first and second with two outs later in the sixth when Hudgins was lifted for Rich, who got out of the inning on a nice play by Topham.
Topham ran from shortstop to left field and caught Javier Sanchez's pop-up while sliding on his knees in foul territory.
The Irish had another great opportunity in the fourth with the bases loaded and no outs, but got just one run. Thaman popped out to second, Stanley hit a sacrifice fly to score Matt Bok from third and Steve Sollmann grounded out to short to end the inning.
Carter hit Ogilvie's first pitch of the game for a single to right, then Fuld quickly followed with the homer to left that just carried over the wall. Quentin added a solo homer in the second, his 12th of the season.

'Disagreements' rock from Subway to Lawrence
By Todd Smith Kansan staff writer
Subway sandwich employees are more than just sandwich makers; some are rock musicians, too. The band members of The Disagreements bring garage rock to the teenage crowd in the Lawrence area.
NEW YORK
ONEY
The Disagreements, from left, are Matt Herbert, Lawrence sophomore; Jon Lane, Lawrence junior; and Tim Morrell, Lawrence resident. The band's next public performance is June 27 at Coco Loco, 943 Massachusetts St.
Tim Morrell, Lawrence resident and Subway sandwich artist, plays bass guitar and sings vocals for the band. He described its musical style as happy rock.
"We consider ourselves a rock band," he said. "We write songs live, and our music has a punk style," he said.
Matt Herbert, Lawrence sophomore who plays guitar and sings vocals, said he and Morrell both lead the band together.
He said they both competed to be the frontman, and the competition added to their performance.
They both wrote songs and sung them at each performance, he said.
Herbert met Morrell when he was hired by him at Subway.

He said Morrell was talking about starting a band and Herbert said he would play guitar for him and they have performed together since then.
The band was originally called Toast!, but it had to change its name in February 2001 because there were more than 13 other bands already called Toast!.
ridiculous," Herbert said.
"We were receiving some pressure from other bands named Toast! to change our name or face lawsuits, it was kind of
Morrell said the main focus of the band was putting on a stage show.
He said the band jumped around, broke cymbals and removed their clothing during shows.
Jon Lane, Lawrence junior and drummer, said Morrell seemed to drop his pants at just about every show.
Morrell said several people asked him if he was going to drop his pants at various performances.
He said he was not worried about being arrested for his actions.
"I am usually conscious that I have a good pair of boxers that cover it all, and I am not revealing too much," Morrell said.
Herbert said they had loyal fans in Lawrence.
Shane Minsey, Lawrence resident and fan, said the music was a good mix of rock and roll and punk with an eclectic range.
"They don't sing the same song over and over," he said.
Miguel Luevano, Lawrence freshman, has gone to most of the band's performances in Lawrence, and it finally came to the point that they stopped making him pay, Herbert said. He became their unofficial roadie.
Luevano said he liked the band's stage appearances and music.
"What I see coming out on MTV I cannot stand, and I am really into local bands," he said.
Morrell said that their most recent
showing of fan support was their engagement at The Bunker in Independence, Mo.
"Hardly anyone was there and we stepped off the stage and several people had on our T-shirts," he said.
Herbert said that it gave him a feeling of power to see people at the performance that he did not know wearing its T-shirts.
"We sold a whole bunch of shirts and none of those people really knew me," he said.
He said performing was the best aspect of being in a band.
Morrell said the band should release its debut album in July. It was recorded at Red House recording studios in Eudora.
The Disagreements' next performance will be June 27 at Coco Loca,943 Massachusetts St.

Big Brothers Big Sisters beneficial to kids
By Todd Smith Kansan staff writer
Growing up, Chris Jones wished he had an older brother.
Jones, Lawrence sophomore, decided to make this wish a reality for a child in Lawrence by becoming a volunteer for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Douglas County.
Ohlhausen said he enjoyed playing video games with his Big Brother, but Jones said he was trying to get Olhausen to see life beyond video games.
Jones is a Big Brother to David Ohlhausen, an incoming freshman at South Junior High School.
"I do outdoor stuff with him, like riding bikes or miniature golf," he said.
Vicky Leitnaker, case manager for Big Brothers Big Sisters, said the major reason for this waiting period was because there were so many boys and so few male volunteers.
His mother, Kyndol Ohlhausen, said she looked at the Big Brothers program to provide David with a male figure in his life because she was a single parent.
Kyndol said David was on a waiting list for a year before he was finally matched up with Jones.
"There are many single mothers who would like to have a male role model for
their boys." she said.
Leitnaker said male students who wanted to volunteer should try to commit to at least one year.
"Statistics show that longer term matches are the ones that more significantly impact and improve a child's life," Leitnaker said.
Exceptions could be made for college males in a program called First Friends, she said.
College males could be matched for six to nine months. The program also allows them to continue a match after a summer away, Leitnaker said.
Most of them chose to mentor for more than a year, she said.
Jones said he would be a Big Brother to David until he was done with college.
Leitnaker said Big Brothers Big Sisters depended on University of Kansas students because at least half of the matches made in the program were volunteers from KU.
She said students who wanted to get involved should attend informational meetings held at 5:15 p.m. Tesudays and noon Wednesdays at the Big Brothers Big Sisters office, 211 E. 8th St. Suite G.

Youngersisters saw abductor in Utah case
The Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY Police investigating the disappearance of 14-year-old Elizabeth Smart said Tuesday the abductor was not aware that the girl's younger sister saw him.
Two weeks ago, a man took Elizabeth at gunpoint from the queen-sized bed shared by the two girls in the Federal Heights home.
Although it was earlier reported that 9-year-old Mary Katherine Smart had been warned to remain quiet, police who interviewed the youngster three times now say the man did not speak to the child. The little sister waited two hours before alerting her parents.
He told Elizabeth to grab some shoes as he left with her.
He said the girl's account changed as investigators with special skill at interviewing child witnesses helped jog her memory.
"We believe this man may be a trusted person in the neighborhood or community," said Salt Lake City Police Capt. Scott Atkinson. The kidnapper was calm, he said.
Police reiterated their description of their suspect: A white man, 30 to 40 years old, with dark hair, hair on his arms and
back of his hands. He was wearing tan pants, dark shoes, a light jacket and a golf hat. He held a small handgun.
"He spoke nicely and dressed nicely," Atkinson said.
On Tuesday, Atkinson held up a similar pair of tennis shoes that the kidnapper allowed Elizabeth to take with her. They were white Ralph Lauren athletic shoes with dark stripes and thick soles.
Edmunds is wanted for parole violation and spraying pepper spray at a West Valley policeman who stopped him.
"I believe Edmunds is a witness to something, we don't know what," Atkinson said.
The community is offering a $250,000 reward for the girl's safe return. Neighborhoods are organizing searches for the teen after a centralized search effort was disbanded Friday.
Investigators still want to talk to Bret Michael Edmunds, who continues to elude them. Edmunds isn't a suspect, but he was spotted near the Smart's home two days before the kidnapping, leading police to think he might have information in the case.
A Web site to help find Elizabeth has had more than 8 million hits, which overloaded the system, said Ted Wilson, former Salt Lake City mayor.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Both sides in the nation's abortion debate will be watching on Wednesday when a Kentucky public health board decides whether to turn down federal family-planning money that is used to dispense birth control pills to women.
Kentucky considers suspending public funding for birth control
The Associated Press
Hard-line abortion foes want the Northern Kentucky Independent District Health Board to reject Title X funding, claiming that the pill can cause the equivalent of an abortion.
The showdown vote Wednesday night in Wilder could reverberate far beyond the northernmost corner of Kentucky, a heavily Roman Catholic area that is a hotbed of anti-abortion fervor.
It is almost unheard of for a community to reject Title X money. In one of the rare instances since the federal program was signed into law in 1970 by President Nixon, McHenry County, Ill., voted in 1998 to refuse the funding, though in that case the debate had to do with whether parents should be notified if their teenage daughters get contraceptives.
Judie Brown, president of the American Life League, said the Kentucky board's rejection of the money.would be a huge
victory for the anti-abortion movement and a "blueprint for victory" in other communities.
On the other side of the issue, Elizabeth Cavendish, legal director for the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League, said the debate shows that "pro-choice Americans cannot be complacent about fundamental freedoms such as the right to use contraception."
"It reveals the extremism of the antichoice agenda," she said.
Board chairman Greg Kennedy predicted a close vote.
Title X funding provided nearly $170,000 this fiscal year to the health board, which serves four urban and rural counties just south of Cincinnati. The money was used to provide contraceptives and related reproductive health care services to thousands of poor women.
The health clinics that are overseen by the 29-member board also provide gynecological care for poor women, including pregnancy tests, breast exams and screening for sexually transmitted diseases.
Kennedy said the loss of Title X funding could prompt women to seek those services at other clinics where they could obtain contraceptives.

Enron discloses senior salaries
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — In a disclosure that outraged former employees, Enron Corp. reported that its 144 senior managers were paid $744 million in the year before the energy company's collapse, including more than $150 million for former chairman Kenneth Lay.
Enron outlined the compensation in a filing late Monday with federal bankruptcy court in New York — documents that provide a glimpse into the company's finances as it spiraled into the biggest bankruptcy in the nation's history.
The large sums of payments and stock paid to the managers do not indicate any wrongdoing. Former employees could try to recover some of the money if they show preferential payments were made before the bankruptcy, obstructing creditors from getting their fair share.
Representatives of former workers and shareholders responded angrily after the disclosure, accusing Enron's senior managers of essentially raiding the company's coffers while leaving clients with a pittance.
“It's outrageous. My clients find it outrageous and it's just more evidence that people at the top knew that they better get while the getting was good,” said Eli Gottesdiener, an attorney representing 24,000 participants in Enron retirement plans who lost as much as $1 billion as the company's stock slid.
Enron disclosed in the 1,436-page filing that top employees received $309.5 million in salary, bonuses, long-term incentives, loan advances and other payments. They also exercised stock options and received stock valued at $434.5 million.
Lay received $152.7 million in payments in stock — more than 11,000 times the maximum amount the company's laidoff workers will likely get in severance.
Lay, one of the many top executives who has been criticized and scrutinized since Enron's rapid collapse, received $81.5 million in loan advances, among other payments, and $34.3 million in stock options.
Other executives who shared in the pay and awards were former chief executive Jeffrey Skilling and former chief financial officer Andrew Fastow, whose names have also been closely tied to the scandal. Skilling received about $35 million.
The more than 4,500 people who lost their jobs when Enron filed for bankruptcy have received a combined $43 million in severance and a tentative agreement has been reached whereby they would get an additional $30 million or so.
Individual employees would get no more than $13,500 in total severance, minus any payments they have already received, based on their salary and length of employment.
About a dozen lawsuits have been consolidated into a single class-action case asserting that Enron violated federal pension rules.
Enron filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Dec.2, four days after its proposed merger with crosstown rival Dynegy Inc. fell apart.
Air tanker crashes while battling wildfire
The Associated Press
Firefighters faced more hot, windy weather on Tuesday, following a tumultuous day in which an air tanker lost its wings and crashed in flames while battling a wildfire in Northern California.
Within hours of the crash, flames engulfed crews trying to corral a blaze in Southern California's Cajon Pass, 50 miles east of Los Angeles, injuring three firefighters and shutting down a major highway.
The Northern California fire, in the
The accidents, which came as crews battled 20 large blazes in 11 states, could signal that the fire season in the West will be particularly dangerous.
"These things happening in the middle of June do not bode well for the remainder of the year," said Bill Peters, spokesman for the California Department of Forestry's San Bernardino unit.
The fire deaths and injuries came on the same day that a U.S. Forest Service worker in Colorado appeared in court on charges alleging she started state's biggest fire while burning a letter from her estranged husband. If convicted, Terry Barton could face a total of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Sierra Nevada near Yosemite National Park, destroyed at least one home and forced 400 people to evacuate as it consumed some 10,000 acres of brush and forest near the small mountain resort town of Walker.
The C-130 tanker had just made a pass over the fire when it crashed Monday. TV news video showed the aircraft's wings snapping off and flames erupting as the fuselage spiraled to the ground, crashing in a giant ball of fire.
"I'm standing here looking at the tail section," Mike Mandichak, who owns an auto shop 150 feet from the crash site, said by telephone. "My shop is right next door. It almost hit it."
The Interagency Incident Management Team said the plane was under contract to the government from Hawkins & Powers Aviation Inc. of Greybull, Wyo.
Hours later in Southern California, three firefighters suffered first- and second-degree burns to their hands, elbows and noses when flames engulfed their two trucks. One of the firefighters deployed an emergency shelter as the heat peeled the paint off the fire engines, which were parked on a highway. They were listed in good condition at Arrowhead Regional Hospital, said Peters.

'Throat's' identity safe still, 30 years later
"I am down to four people, and while this is a game to me, it is not a game to Deep Throat, so it has to be played by certain rules, and one is that I won't speculate," Dean told the assemblage at Grand Central Terminal.
The fact that he didn't really know was announced in advance, but it didn't stop 200 people, mostly journalists and political junkies, from converging on a free lunch Tuesday to hear him say it.
Deep Throat—a name borrowed from a 1973 porn flick—was used by Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein to refer to an official who, they say, supplied key information that helped expose Richard Nixon's attempts to cover up his administration's role in Watergate.
NEW YORK — Thirty years and a day after the break-in at the Watergate complex that would bring down a president, former White House counsel John Dean called a press conference to reveal who Deep Throat was — then stonewalled.
While Woodward has promised not to identify Deep Throat until the source dies, the political who-was-it parlor game has lasted 30 years, with perhaps a dozen people offered as suspects and then discarded because they couldn't have known what Deep Throat knew or they weren't around at the right times.
Dean, the aide who warned Nixon there was "a cancer growing on the presidency,"
gave Senate hearing testimony that helped blow the lid off the Nixon White House. He has been trying ever since to determine the identity of Deep Throat.
Years ago he named Watergate prosecutor Earl J. Silbert and Nixon chief of staff Alexander Haig, both of whom denied it — as have FBI official Mark Felt, ABC newswoman Diane Sawyer, who then worked in the White House press office, and even Dean himself.
Dean's latest Deep Throat theory was to be published this 30th anniversary week in a 40,000-word e-book by the online magazine Salon.com. But at the last minute, he said, denials from his choice suspects were so strong as to force a postponement.
He identified the four possibles as Ron Zeigler, Nixon's press secretary, White House aide Steven Bull and speechwriters Ray Price and Pat Buchanan. All have denied being the mystery tipster.
While the lunch gathering had a rather sporting air, exasperation over Dean's coyness prompted publisher Harold Evans to demand that he "come clean!"
"Throat wants to remain anonymous." Dean said, adding that one of his suspects even threatened to sue him. "This person is so offended by having his name connected with Deep Throat. He doesn't want his obituary to be led with, 'Deep Throat died today.'"

Reporters could face jail time for contact with jurors
Associated Press
CAMDEN, N.J. — Four Philadelphia Inquirer reporters could be sentenced to up to six months in jail for writing a story that included an interview with one juror and the name of another in the sensational murder trial of a rabbi.
Superior Court Judge Theodore Z. Davis ruled that George Anastasia, Emilie Lounsberry and Dwight Ott contacted jurors after the trial in violation of an order from Superior Court Judge Linda G. Baxter.
Baxter presided over the case of Rabbi Fred J. Neulander, who was accused of arranging his wife's killing. The case ended in a mistrial in November after the jury deadlocked.
The judge also held the three reporters in contempt of court Monday along with a fourth, Joseph Gambardello, for publishing the name of a juror after the trial. The jurors' identities were supposed to be secret.
Besides facing jail time, the reporters could be fined up to $1,000 at their sentencing Thursday.
tending Thursday. The four were listed as co-authors of a story exploring whether the jury forewoman lived in Pennsylvania rather than New Jersey.
The reporters' conduct "strongly suggests an arrogance which should not and must not be judicially digested," Davis wrote. "For to do so would be an abdication of the court's constitutional responsibility to maintain a viable, fair and operational judicial system."
Inquirer deputy managing editor Hank
Klibanoff said there was no immediate decision on whether to appeal.
"The testimony I heard in this case showed that Inquirer reporters acted courteously, honestly and in the highest journalistic traditions in their reporting following the Neulander trial," he said.
Before the trial began, Baxter banned reporters from contacting jurors during or after the trial.
After the article at issue was published, the New Jersey Supreme Court in April ruled that Baxter had the authority to bar reporters from contacting jurors before the verdict, but not afterward.
New Jersey Deputy Attorney General Eric Schweiker had argued that the reporters should be held in contempt because the order was in effect at the time they violated it.
First Amendment experts said Baxter's order and Davis' decision Monday were rare and troubling restrictions of media freedom.
"It's unusual to the point of being bizarre," said Jonathan Kotler, director of graduate and professional programs at the University of Southern California and a lawyer who frequently represents news organizations in First Amendment cases. Normally, what happens is the jurors are told not to talk to the press."
Monday's ruling brought to five the number of reporters held in contempt for their reporting on the Neulander case. Carol Saline, a writer for Philadelphia Magazine, was fined $1,000 for approaching a juror before deliberations ended.
Neulander is awaiting a retrial in September.
Listeners leaving FM raido, saying it's too repetitive
Associated Press
CEDAR GROVE, N.J. — When 13-year-old Dana Marino flips on her boom box, she wants to hear her favorite songs. And she often does — over and over and over again.
"FM stations overplay popular songs, to the point that no one likes them anymore," the eighth-gradeer complained after a recent audio overdose of J.Lo and Ia Rule.
Ed Cronin, 42, rarely flips his radio on. He longs for the free-form format of his teen years, when you could hear anything from Elvis Presley to Elvis Costello, the Supremes to the Sex Pistols.
"You were exposed to all sorts of other stuff—not only the hip and new, but older stuff," said the resident of West Roxbury, Mass. "You can't hear that now."
Finally, a place where no generation gap exists.
When it comes to commercial radio, it appears everybody has a gripe — except the corporations atop the multibillion-
"We play what people want to hear," said John Hogan, president and chief operating officer of Clear Channel Radio and its 1,200 stations. "And if we play too little of what people want to hear, they're going to go somewhere else."
They already are — although it's not necessarily to other radio stations.
Radio listeners are listening less. In 1993, they spent an average of 23 hours per week with the radio on; last year, it was down to 201/2 hours, according to numbers from Arbitron, an international media and market research firm.
dollar industry. Their stations, they say, are just following the advice of the Kinks' Ray Davies: Give the people what they want.
Those most likely to turn off the radio: teen-agers, long among the medium's mainstays. Among girls age 12 to 17, the radio is on just 16 hours a week. For boys, it's just 121/2 hours. That's bad news for the country's 11,047 commercial radio stations.

Ryder jokes about arrest, some not amused
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Winona Ryder has poked fun at her shoplifting arrest on Saturday Night Live, the MTV Movie Awards and the cover of w magazine, which featured her wearing a "Free Winona" T-shirt.
Her publicist, Mara Buxbaum, said the actress — who had pleaded innocent to shoplifting and drug charges — had only been trying to be self-deprecating.
"The jokes that were made were selfmocking," Buxbaum said. "She was trying to joke about herself and at no level was she trying to be disrespectful to the courts and legal system."
But prosecutors aren't amused.
"This is a criminal case, these are serious charges and not really a joking matter," said Sandi Gibbons, a representative for the Los Angeles County district attorney.
Ryder has been stuck trying to promote hew new comedy, Mr. Deeds while avoiding serious discussion of the felony case.
Other stars used humor to blunt a scandal's edge, although usually not until the legal matter had been settled, said Alan Mayer, one of Hollywood's top crisis-management publicists.
"If the charge is something that is not horrendously serious ... it's not necessarily a bad idea to appear in public and, not so much make light of it, but at least indicate this is not a nuclear confrontation in South Asia," said Mayer, who represented Halle Berry in her 2000 car-crash case and comedian Paula Poundstone in her child endangerment case last year.
Hugh Grant's appearance on The Tonight Show in 1995 shortly after his arrest with a prostitute is considered a prime example of using humor to defuse a scandal. But the actor joked only after apologizing publicly.
"I think it would be bollocks, really, to hide behind (excuses)," he told host Jay Leno. "I did a bad thing ... There you have it."
Ryder, however, seems to be following in the footsteps of singer George Michael, who had said he thought that the unfavorable community service deal he got in 1998 was the result of a video he made satirizing the police who arrested him for lewd conduct.
Ryder's attorney, Mark Geragos, said the incident was a misunderstanding turned into malicious prosecution.
Police arrested Ryder, who declined to be interviewed for this article, in December at a Saks Fifth Avenue store in Beverly Hills for allegedly possessing painkillers without a prescription and stealing nearly $6,000 worth of designer merchandise.
Charged with second-degree burglary, grand theft, vandalism and possession of a controlled substance, the 30-year-old could face more than three years in prison if convicted. A tentative trial date has been set for Aug. 13 in state Superior Court.

So far, prosecutors have reiected
Ryder's efforts to get her charges reduced to misdemeanors, and have suggested that her alleged theft is part of a pattern of behavior.
Ryder
"From just a human being's perspective," said Gibbons of the district attorney's office, "I don't shop at Saks. I'm more inclined to shop at Target, as are most people. I don't know what kind of jury she's going to have, but if they're people like me then perhaps they won't be laughing either."
The arrest and its fallout have upstaged Ryder's roles in Mr. Deeds, which opens later this month with Adam Sandler, and the sci-fi drama Simone, with Al Pacino, due in August.
Ryder's last two projects, the Satanic thriller Lost Souls and the weepy romance
Autumn in New York, were box office disappointments.
Ryder and Sandler appeared on stage together during the MTV Movie Awards earlier this month, and Sandler hemmed and hawed his way around her legal woes.
"I know that it's on the minds of many. There's millions of people watching. You say Winona Ryder and people want to know this, so I'm gonna just ask." he said.
The question: What was it like kissing her former boyfriend, Johnny Depp?
In her SNL monologue on May 18, Ryder deadpanned, "You know, people have been acting a little strange around here. You know, there's like, you know, a lot of like locking of doors and — and shifty eyes and — and a lot of frisking."
In a later shoplifting sketch, she mockingly scolded other characters for stealing.
Some sympathizers see Ryder's arrest as a setup, while other fans consider her behavior evidence of a troubled psyche.
"Fan or not... Don't you think her explanations have been a bit weak? Don't you think her behavior has been a bit odd?" wrote admirer Darren Garrison in a Winona Ryder chat posting. "Being a fan shouldn't mean turning a blind eye."
"It's not enough for (a celebrity) to be innocent of the charges," Mayer said. "They have to act in the way that the public expects an innocent person to act."

LAURIE SISK/KANSAN
Facilities Operation workers assess damage caused by a water main break in front of Blake Hall last night. Service to the Chancellor's House, Blake Hall, and two scholarship halls was disrupted because of the break, which flooded the parking area behind Blake Hall. Engineer Hubert Kettler, left, Randy Samuels, Facilities Operation associate director, and Sam Gunther, plumbing supervisor worked late into the night with their crews to correct the problem. Workers said this is the second break in about six to eight years in that location and was likely due to old pipes.
'Ralph's World' appeals to both young and old
The Associated Press
BERWYN, III. The lighting is dim and the bar carries the faint, stale smell of beer. But Ralph Covert is looking fresh and ready to rock and roll.
So are his young fans — some so young they've just risen from an afternoon nap before cramming with their parents into FitzGerald's, a popular music venue in suburban Chicago that usually caters to the older set.
With Ralph's World — a whirlwind of songs, dancing and general silliness — Covert is distinguishing himself as a singer-songwriter who's found a magic formula: His music appeals to kids and their parents.
"I was lousy at being a mild nursery school teacher," says Covert, a longtime Chicago rocker who developed his latest repertoire while teaching classes for kids at the Oldtown School of Folk Music.
"The more I brought my rock 'n' roll energy to it, the more parents had fun, the kids had fun — and the more I had fun," said Covert, whose albums include both originals and revamped cover songs.
One song from the first Ralph's World CD combines the popular KC & the Sunshine Band tunes "Get Down Tonight" and
"Shake Your Booty"—though with a few lyric changes.
Another tune on the disc features the line "M-o-m-m-y needs c-o-f-f-e-e." And Covert calls yet another track the "Quentin Tarantino version of the 'Itsy Bitsy Spider,'" because it features a multitattooed arachnid.
His second album, released this spring, features a reworked rendition of the Robert Leroy Johnson blues song "Dust My Broom"—renamed "Clean My Room."
"Do a little dance. Make a little love," for example, becomes "Eat a little lunch. Take a little nap."
Billboard magazine called his debut CD "One of the finest kids' audio releases of this or any year." And reviews for his latest disc have been as glowing, as Covert hits the summer concert circuit.
The combination of adult and kid humor, packaged in catchy tunes, is getting Covert noticed.
"It beats the heck out of some of the same old mundane stuff that's out there for kids," says Debbie Sanders, a mom from Bolingbrook, Ill., who brought 6-year-old daughter Samantha to the concert.

Matt Damon follows George Clooney's advice when it comes to the fame game
Josephine
Knight Ridder-Tribune
HOLLYWOOD — It was more than a year before he would work with George Clooney in "Oceans 11," and Matt Damon had never met the man. But a mutual friend offered a chance to sneak a peek at Clooney's state-of-the-art projection room.
Damon already was a movie star at that point but still wide-eyed enough to relish the thought of driving up to Clooney's home and checking out his stuff.
What made it even more fun was that Clooney wasn't supposed to be home. But guess who showed up and found Damon hanging out in his projection room?
"Suddenly, he was standing there at the door, all dripping wet with sweat from playing basketball," Damon said. "I couldn't believe it; he was just like people said. One of the guys."
"He said, 'How are you doing?' and I knew exactly what he was asking. It was about this fame thing. I told him I was OK, and we sat down and talked about it for 20 minutes.
"As I was leaving, his parting shot was:
'Don't let them keep you inside.'
"And that's been pretty much how I've lived my life," the actor said.
Damon, who stars as an amnesia victim slowly coming to the realization that he may be an assassin in "The Bourne Identity," which opened Friday, said he went about his daily life in lower Manhattan as if he were an accountant _ an accountant with an Oscar for co-writing the screenplay for "Good Will Hunting."
"Oh, I'll stay away from SoHo on the weekends because it's full of tourists, but other than that, I do all the normal things that other people do. I go to the movies, I go to restaurants, I go to the store. In London (where he is appearing in a play), I walk to the theater every day. I sign a few autographs in front of the theater, but no one bothers me during my walk."
Damon, 31, said that with the exception of Tom Cruise and a few others, being a movie star isn't like it used to be.
"At that point, the business of creating hype around movies had become its own industry. And it's a huge industry. The hunger for material to fill those TV shows and rags (tabloids) is so severe that we can never have a movie star like we used to."
"Hollywood was already turning by the time Ben (Affleck) and I came along," he said.
"The chance to make movies has blinded me to any possible downside of fame," he said. "It was never about the money, the glamour or the parties. I still don't go to the parties."
Damon, who has been a favorite target of paparazzi, said he doesn't allow the media attention to bother him.
By the way, Damon said that once he and Clooney became friends on the set of "Ocean's 11," the younger actor reminded him of the advice he had given him at his home. Clooney, in turn, had a confession
Matt Damon and Franka Potente share a romance and elude assassins in "The Bourne Identity."
Clooney said: "Well, now that I know you better, I have to footnote that. I was on the Warner Brothers lot one day and I met Paul Newman. He was making a movie and didn't know who I was. But he figured out that I was a TV star of some sort ("ER"), and it was Newman who gave me that advice.
to make.
Born in Cambridge, Mass., Damon attended Harvard University for three years as a straight-A student. He left before graduation to pursue an acting career.
"I'm just passing it along."
He already had been bitten by the acting bug and had appeared in a TV movie, "Rising Son," and two feature films, "School Ties" and "Geronimo: An American Legend."
Damon was so convinced that the latter film was going to be a major hit that he dropped out of college. It was not a hit, and Damon was fortunate to get a role in another TV movie.
Needing money, he found an old screenplay he had started in college about a math genius who works as a janitor at MIT.
He and boyhood friend Affleck worked on the screenplay as a team, while both continued to act in films to pay the rent. Damon got good notices in "Courage Under Fire" and "The Rainmaker."
Of course, it was "Good Will Hunting" that changed their lives forever, turning both young men into Oscar winners and movie stars.
Affleck went the movie-star route in bigbudget films, while Damon was credited with choosing better material and top directors, including Steven Spielberg in "Saving Private Ryan." Some of his more recent choices, such as "The Talented Mr. Ripley," "The Legend of Bagger Vance"

Matt Damon is cool under pressure as Jason Bourne, a high-level government operative who gets amnesia and awakes in Europe. He soon finds himself hunted by mysterious men. The film is based on the Robert Ludlum novel of the same title.
(directed by Robert Redford) and "All the Pretty Horses," directed by Billy Bob Thornton), have been box-office disappointments.
"I think 'Bagger' made back its money, but 'All the Pretty Horses' was an unqualified failure," he said candidly. "But I can't assess the value of my career on what happens at the box office."
According to executive producer Frank Marshall, Damon was everyone's first choice to play the title role in "The Bourne Identity," based on the Robert Ludlum novel.
"Matt is so believable on screen," Marshall said. "He looks like a good guy, and that is the key to this character. He doesn't remember who he is, and he believes he is a good guy until things start to happen to change his mind."
Damon said he's happy with the new action film, but then again, he says he's happy with all his movies.
"There is not a single movie that I've done that I wish I hadn't done."

Tom Cruise flees from the police when he learns they are attempting to arrest him for a crime he hasn't even committed yet in Minority Report. Set in 2080 in Washington, D.C., Minority Report depicts a society in which the government can determine whether a crime will occur before it actually happens.
Spielberg, Cruise say futuristic forays will continue a while
Knight Ridder - Tribune
DALLAS. At first they seem like a couple of guys just sitting around, talking movies.
Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise, uberdirector and uber-star, visited Dallas recently to promote their sci-fi noir thriller, Minority Report. Both are consummate pros who project friendliness and sincerity. Spielberg oozes avuncular benevolence; Cruise's jocularity is just a shade beyond bovish. After all, on July 3, he will turn 40.
Even hardened cynics would admit they do a convincing job. If they ever tire of the movie game, they could update How To Win Friends and Influence People. But right now, they're interested in talking about Minority Report, which opens Friday.
If two of the biggest names in show business are in a slump, they're not showing it. Spielberg is more than eager to talk about the science-fiction thriller that comes on the heels of last year's disappointing A.I. Artificial Intelligence, yet another sci-fi film. And Cruise acts as though hasn't been stung by the sci-fi-tinged Vanilla Sky, which racked up both moderate reviews and moderate box-office.
"All I care about from a commercial viewpoint is that the studio doesn't lose money," Cruise said. "And the studio did not lose money on Vanilla Sky."
Spielberg said he would continue to focus on science-fiction movies because "I'm fascinated by the past and the future."
"I've got a great present," he said. "With my wife and family, I'm very connected to the present. So I'm fascinated by what I'm not connected to."
By most gauges, Minority Report is expected to fascinate audiences, too. In this effects-crazed summer, it's got some of the splashest scenes imaginable. What's more, they're all used intelligently to further the futuristic story.
The story itself, in which hunter turns hunted, echoes The Fugitive and other audience favorites, but the 2054 setting

allows a unique perspective. In "Minority Report," the hunted hero played by Cruise cannot trust anything, not even his red Lexus sports car.
Cruise, who recognized the movie potential of Philip K. Dick's short story, brought it to Spielberg's attention. The two have been friends for 20 years and almost worked together in Rain Man.
"This story had great potential for eye candy and for drama," Cruise says of Minority Report. "And Steven is great at combining the two. The public definitely wants characterization and drama with its eve candy."
Minority Report's noir-ish mystery is set in 2054, when murder is at an all-time low in Washington, D.C., thanks to an elite Pre-Crime unit. With Cruise as leader John Anderton, the unit captures perpetrators before murders are committed. Three psychic beings, called Pre-Cogs, have flawless visions of future murders.
But now the eerie trio lists Detective Anderton as the killer of a man he does not know. The unit leader is in the ironic position of being chased by those he trained.
"Each film has different needs," Cruise said. "We never really found a structure for Rain Man, and it still worked. It was basically just two schmucks riding in a car. But structure is everything in Minority Report."

'Undercover Brother one of many to rely on '70s black culture
Knight Ridder-Tribune
Feeling the urge to tear the roof off the sucker? You're not alone. From Eddie Griffin's superfly spy in Undercover Brother to a Shaft-inspired Burger King spot with Shaquille O'Neal, the sounds and styles of '70s black culture are once again living large.
In Undercover Brother, our hero is called upon to bring a much-needed funk infusion. The Man has been scheming to kill off the funk, and only Undercover Brother, with his pork-chop sideburns, platform shoes and razor-sharp afro combs, can save the nation's soul.
The Nike spot "Roswell Rayguns" is based on a similar concept. The ad is named for a fictitious team from the ABA, the NBA's high-flying, free-styling rival that thrived in the first half of the '70s before merging with the wealthier, more button-down competition. Sitting before a throng of reporters, the Rayguns' coach is asked what hope his team has for the coming season. "Well, we made a couple of key trades," he said. "And we got the funk."
The rest of the spot features some of
The Man has been scheming to kill off the funk, and only Undercover Brother, with his pork-chop sideburns, platform shoes and razor-sharp afro combs, can save the nation's soul.
today's funkier NBA players, including Baron Davis, Jerry Stackhouse and Vince Carter, spliced into vintage ABA footage.
The neo-funk phenomenon isn't exactly new. James Brown samples are almost as old as hip-hop. The guys in Outkast sport threads that might make the flamboyantly clad Clinton blush. Quentin Tarantino opened his 1994 blaxploitation homage Pulp Fiction to the strains of Kool and the Gang's "Jungle Boogie," and it's already been two years since John Singleton and Samuel L. Jackson brought the movie Shaft back to life.
The implication is clear: We need the funk.

Anthony Schwager, of Anthony's Honey, helps out a customer at the Farmers Market on 10th and Vermont. Anthony's has a diverse supply of honey products, from Bee's Wax, candy, honey sticks, cut-comb honey and more.
Try something different, go to the farmers market
Todd Smith Kansan staff writer
Wendy Dalquest uses goat milk to make an all natural soap.
At the Lawrence Farmers Market customers can buy that goat soap they just can't do without or try something new like honey beef jerky.
The market, established 28 years ago, is the oldest continuous market in Kansas.
Dalquest, owner of Red Ribbon Acres, 1004 E. 1600 Road, southeast of Lawrence, said she was known as the Goat Lady.
Dalquest displays her wares with Sue Cranston, another goat farmer, who sells ice cream and five kinds of cheese made from goat milk. She said they are a good combination.
Across the lot of the market, Terri Schwager, part owner of Anthony's Honey Products, said the business sold many products made with honey. One of its most popular products was honey beef jerky.
"Wendy makes the inedible part and I make the edible part." Cranston said.
Her son Anthony, owner of the business, is a Lawrence High School sophomore who suffers from epilepsy. The family helps sell his products because of his special needs.
His father, Tony Schwager, said that the beehive business would help to supplement Anthony's income. It costs about $100 for each hive.
Terri Schwager said they had 24 beehives.
"My goal for him is to have a hundred by the time he turns 18," she said. "If you manage your bees you can double each year."
During the week the crowds and the number of vendors can be small, but Mark Jones, Lawrence Farmers Market manager, said Saturdays can get busy.
Saturday mornings there are 65 vendors and during the week there are about 10 to 12, he said.
The market is in the parking lot in the 1000 block of Vermont Street. It begins the second Saturday in May and runs through the second Saturday in November . It is open from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.every Tuesday and Thursday and from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.every Saturday.
Mary Joe Mensie, president of the vendors association, said each vendor paid a $25 advertising fee whether they were there one day or all year. A vendor can pay $100 for the full season or pay per day, which is $2 on Tuesdays and Thursdays and $10 on Saturdays.
He said one can find herbs, pies and cakes at the market and later in the year pumpkins, watermelons and cantaloupes are sold.
"Most everything is sold in season," Iones said. "That is how you keep it local."
Contact Smith at tsmith@kansan.com. This story was edited by Mandy Miller.
He said on Saturdays the market could attract more than a thousand people.
Vendors have different fees they pay for displaying their wares.

THIS WEEK'S HOROSCOPES
If your birthday is this week, family dynamics may steadily change over the next few months. Before the end of July, watch for relatives, roommates or close friends to request revised financial agreements, new rental contracts or significant improvements to the home. Much of this has actually been operating under the surface for the past eight to nine weeks. Expect positive emotional gains in key home relationships before the end of summer. Later this fall a new romantic attraction or social introduction may bring a unique circle of friends into your life. Stay open to passionate encounters and exciting group activities.
Aries (March 21-April 20). News from business officials or financial agencies will offer concrete rewards early this week. Watch for new permissions, unique contracts or creative ideas for funding. Over the next eight days some Aries natives will also experience an increase in career opportunities. If so, make sure old plans, abandoned projects or postponed dreams are again put into action. Yesterday's mistakes are now a valuable source of wisdom. React quickly to all proposals and renewed options.
Taurus (April 21-May 20). New friends may be unusually expressive this week. Before Thursday, watch for a wave of competing jealousies and minor disagreements. Others will publicly defend their ideas, actions or opinions. Avoid controversy and refuse to be drawn into the role of mediator. Thursday through Sunday messages from relatives or distant family members will offer reassurance. Thoroughly discuss financial needs and long-term goals. A revised plan may soon be necessary.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Late Wednesday watch for a close friend or relative to require delicate advice. Key issues may involve ongoing personality clashes at work or differing opinions between loved ones. At present, others may feel isolated or misunderstood. Listen and welcome all new ideas. Both friends and lovers will react with gratitude and provide valuable insights. After Saturday, small money matters may be complex and bothersome. Avoid financial promises and new debts for the next nine days.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Financial communications and short-term business assignments are unpredictable over the next four days. Late Monday, expect work officials and close colleagues to strongly disagree concerning procedures or previously decided amounts. Wait for tempers to calm. Even though new business information is surprising, it will unlikely be damaging or permanent. After Thursday, avoid public discussions with colleagues, romantic speculation or social gossip. Nothing will be gained.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Friends and colleagues will be supportive this week. Over the next four days expect postponed business ideas or failed social invitations to move forward. Friends and work mates will now provide valuable advice, enthusiasm or suggestions. Some Leos, especially those born early in August, may also encounter an unusual property contract or rental change. Remain cautious and refuse to make final decisions. Added financial demands and may arrive before next week.
Virgo(Aug.23-Sep.22).Pastfriendsorloversmay this week reappear and demand completion.Before Friday, expect yesterday's social decisions to require firm statements and final clarification. Some Virgos, especially those born late in August, may also experience the return of a past job offer or business opportunity. If so, go slow and request meaningful change before risking commitment. An unusually complex week: Avoid emotional decisions and fast promises, if at all possible.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Social charisma and optimism will steadily increase early this week: Monday through Wednesday, expect others to be drawn to your ideas, energy and outlook. Mostly this will manifest as social enjoyment but watch also for unusual breakthroughs in business relations. Some Libras may now be asked to publicly represent their employers, teachers or companies. After Thursday, rest and gain perspective. Fast romantic proposals will soon demand a response.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Old friends and past lovers may now be unusually compelling. Watch for sentimental thoughts and powerful memories to be a strong theme this week.Key emotional lessons will now trigger important revelations concerning yesterday's friendships. Remain balanced, and wait for clarity. Loved ones will soon offer a complete description of their past actions or motivations. After Thursday, work officials will provide rare compliments and new directions. Expect fast changes.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Loved ones will be helpful early this week. Monday through Thursday, expect long-term goals or career conflicts to be a prime theme. Ask for advice, compliments and new suggestions. This is a powerful time for bringing the knowledge and wisdom of others into action. After midweek romantic messages will also be pleasing. Watch for lovers or marriage partners to soon plan delightful encounters and short vacations. A rewarding week: Remain open to all new ideas.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20). Early Tuesday a colleague or business official may publicly challenge your ideas or request detailed records. Keyissues may involve team leadership, minor jealousies and competing work styles. Play the innocent diplomat: Criticism and doubt will fade before next week. After Wednesday watch also for a close friend or relative to be excited by a new love affair or fresh social proposal. Accept all invitations and expand your social circle: It's time for change.
Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19). Colleagues and work officials may this week rely heavily on your guidance or direction. Quietly offer solid advice and opinions. At present, emotions in the workplace may be unusually distracting and complicated. After Thursday, a new wave of romantic attraction and social wisdom arrives. Over the next six days expect lovers, relatives and close friends to be drawn to your confidence. Go slow, however. Loved ones may soon face complex social decisions.
Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20). Physical energy and sensual attractions will now dramatically increase: over the next four days expect social vitality, flirtation and romantic desire to be almost unavoidable. Lovers or long-term partners will now express rare observations and previously withheld emotions. Watch for minor jealousies, silly disagreements or social triangles to trigger meaningful discussion. Be patient: Loved ones will soon achieve balance and offer renewed loyalty.
