Next year, fireworks may be thing of the past
Commissioners considering the consequences of fireworks
Todd Smith Kansan staff writer
Several fires in Lawrence last Fourth of July have ignited a movement to make fireworks illegal in Lawrence next year.
Commissioner Jim Henry said that people had acted irresponsibly with fireworks in the past.
"It is out of control when we have fires in the community," he said.
Rich Barr, Fire Marshall of the Lawrence-Douglas County Fire & Medical Department, said the department responded to several large structure fires last year.
A house fire at 501 Colorado St. had $200,000 worth of damage and was believed to be caused by fireworks, he said.
"They were lighting fireworks and throwing ones that were designed to placed on the ground and we believed that the fireworks ended up in a couch that was on an outside patio," Barr said.
Barr said the department treated two people on the scene and transported one to the hospital for evaluation.
He said the fire left six residents without homes.
Henry said the commission was waiting to see how this year will turn out.
"We want to encourage everyone to act responsibly," Henry said.
He said after this Fourth of July he had no doubt that the city commission would address the issue.
thoughts are firecrackers, worms and sparklers for one day, but no aerial fireworks, nothing that will come down on someone else's roof or deck," he said.
"I think we are going to look at the issue carefully, it might not be a total ban, but a reasoned response," Henry said. "My
Henry said he leaned toward public safety over private entertainment.
"We need to encourage people to go to the public displays;" Henry said.
Mike Lheureux, Wichita graduate student, said he would probably still shoot fireworks in Lawrence if the city commissioners decided to ban them.
"I have lived in towns where they have banned it officially, but people still shoot off fireworks anyway," he said. "In Wichita it is outlawed, but I see people shoot them off."
He said he thought a better way to manage the situation would be to designate area where people could shoot them off.
Alison Olewnik, Manhattan sophomore, said she did not support the ban either.
"I have shot fireworks in Lawrence in the past and I will still plan to shoot them off if it was banned," she said.
Barr said one way to prevent fireworks injuries was to prohibit them completely, but the other way is for people to use fireworks according to the label on the fireworks wrappers.
Barr said the city ordinance permitted the use of fireworks from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m on July 2 and 3, and from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m on July 4.

Roy Williams celebrates alongside his summer basketball camp members as Drew Gooden is selected fourth in first round of the NBA draft by the Memphis Grizzlies.
JOHN NOWAK/KANSAN
Gooden plenty ready for NBA play By Matt Norton sportswriter
Drew Gooden is a Memphis Grizzly.
"We worked a lot of kids out here and during the process of elimination and trying to find people that you are really attracted to, this player was right at the top of the list," said Jerry West. Grizzlies' team president, at a press conference on June 27.
While the former Kansas basketball star gets used to the thought of realizing his dream of playing in the NBA, those most involved with his basketball life said they thought Memphis drafted a future superstar with the number four pick in the 2002 NBA Draft last Wednesday.
Pre-draft speculation had predicted that Gooden would go to either the Golden State Warriors, who had the third pick, or Memphis.
Gooden, who couldn't be reached for comment this week, said at the press conference that while he felt like he would be picked by Memphis, he was still nervous.
Kansas coach Roy Williams said he would enjoy watching the latest Jayhawk to enter the NBA.
Gooden joins Raef LaFrentz of Dallas, free agent Danny Manning, Greg Ostertag of Utah, Paul Pierce of Boston, Scot Pollard of Sacramento and Jacque Vaughn of Atlanta.
"When the number was called, it was like my mind went blank and everything went in slow motion for a moment," Gooden said. "When I heard them say 'the fourth pick is Drrr...' I thought this might be it but I am going to wait until he said 'Drew.'"
"I really did expect Drew to not go past

taken Drew."
Even though the Grizzlies had two outstanding players who were rookies in 2002 and played positions similar to Gooden, they couldn't pass up the All-American.
Pau Gasol, a 7-foot power forward, was the 2002 NBA Rookie of the Year, and 6-8 forward Shane Battier, a rookie from Duke, averaged more than 14 points a game.
Gooden said he looked forward to playing with the two young stars.

"I think they can show me the ropes on how to get me through some stuff and help me out." Gooden said.
Grizzlies' coach Sidney Lowe said Gooden's pedigree at Kansas was

what separated him from other potential picks.
"He understands the importance of dedication, work ethic and teamwork and doing what it takes to win," Lowe said of Gooden at the news conference.
Lowe said that talking to Williams convinced him that Gooden had everything it took to be successful in the NBA.
"I think I saw my life
almost change in a matter of hours," Gooden said. "I am still shook up. I am usually a little more humorous on the mike, but I am nervous.I am in a new city now and have to start from scratch."
Drew Gooden former Kansas Jayhawk
"No question I feel, we know we have a class kid, a guy who has been in a great program." Lowe said.
Gooden, who for more than the past year has answered questions about his future in the NBA, is starting to understand the finality of the draft and what it means for him and his family.
"I think I saw my life almost change in a matter of hours," Gooden said. "I am still shook up. I am usually a little more humorous on the Mike, but I am nervous. I am in a new city now and have to start from scratch."

Students react to Drew
By Jay Pilgreen Kansan staff writer
Students at Louise's West on Sunday night agreed on only two things after Drew Gooden's success in the 2002 NBA draft: They wished he would have stayed and his debut in the EA Sports commercial was unsavory.
The majority of people at the bar,1307 W. 7th St., confessed that the $7 million Gooden was going to make was enticing but said they thought he would have benefited by staying another year.
"In the short term it'll be good for him, and he can make money for his family, but when he has kids he might regret it," Russell Peloquin, Chicago recent graduate, said.
"Good for Gooden, but at the same time he should have stayed and finished out," Jake Thomas, Tulsa, Okla., recent graduate, said. "You'll learn more and you'll grow up."
Others also agreed that it was in Gooden's best interest to get a degree from the University of Kansas.
"There's a lot to be said for staying in school," Meredith Duke, Overland Park senior, said. "I don't believe he's going back to school, but good for him."
"Good for Gooden,but at the same time he should have stayed and finished out. You'll learn more and you'll grow up."
Jake Thomas Tulsa, Okla., recent graduate,
There were a few believers in Gooden who thought he made the right decision, despite their longing for him to stay.
"He could have walked away with a college degree, but it's hard to turn down $7 million," Zac Spear, Wichita senior, said. "That was his dream."
Spear went on to say that he thought it would be difficult for Gooden to be part of a losing team and that it would be a reality check for him when he goes up against some of the players.
"Put it this way, he's not going to be playing K-State anymore," he said.

Lower loan rates help students who depend on financial aid
By Todd Smith Kansan staff writer
Lower interest rates on federal student loans and larger Pell grants could save some University of Kansas students more than $100 per year beginning this fall.
A grace period is offered to students who are just out of school and a deferment is a period of time that is offered to students who need extra time before they can pay back their loans.
"I owe a couple of thousand dollars and over 10 years that will be huge, so lowering the interest rate won't make it quite as bad," Reese said.
The federal student loan repayment rate decreased by more than 32 percent and according to a press release by the Department of Education, became the lowest rate in decades.
Josh Reese, Lawrence senior, said it was nice that the interest rate was lowered so he doesn't have to pay back so much money overall.
Stephanie Covington, associate director of the Office of Student Financial Aid, said the changes in federal student loans would affect about 8,000 University of Kansas students.
If the rate remains constant, borrowers repaying $10,000 in loan debt over the standard 10 years could save more than $1,100 in total interest compared with last year's rate, according to the press release.
The rate decreased to 4.06 percent for borrowers repaying loans issued after July 1998 from 5.99 percent last year, effective July 1.
For students who are in school, within the six month grace period or in deferment, the interest rate is even lower at 3.46 percent, down from 5.39 percent last year.
Covington said it was a good time for students graduating in the next year to consolidate their student loans.
"This is a really good rate, and students could lock in a fixed rate to guarantee that the interest on the loan will stay at this one rate," she said.
A fixed rate is determined by the weighted average of the current rates charged on the loan being consolidated,
The federal student loan repayment rate decreased by more than 32 percent and according to a press release by the Department of Education, became the lowest rate in decades.
rounded up to the nearest 1/8 percent.
She said unless students haven't paid past student loans or were not making satisfactory progress toward a degree, they could receive federal financial aid.
"A big myth is that if you make too much money you won't qualify for federal financial aid." Covington said.
Freshmen could borrow a federal direct loan maximum of $2,625 per year, sophoores could borrow $3,500 per year, juniors and seniors could borrow $5,500 per year, and graduate students can borrow $18,500 per year, she said.
Independent undergraduate students could borrow a maximum of $4,000 as freshmen and sophomores and $5,000 as juniors and seniors, Covington said.
Federal Pell grants will also receive a boost this fall. Students will be able to receive a maximum of $4,000 a year, up from $3,750 last year.
The number of Pell-grant recipients will increase to 4.5 million students, half a million more than before President Bush took office.
The increase is based on a formula established by a federal statute that reflects changes in the economy over the past year.
Pell grants are money awarded by the government to undergraduate students, and unlike loans, they do not have to be paid back.
2,786 KU students received Pell grants for the last school year, Covington said. She said she did not have figures for the coming year.

Arts organizer appointed to oversee Trade Center memorial creation
NEW YORK (AP) — A longtime organizer of cultural events in Lower Manhattan was appointed Tuesday to oversee the creation of a memorial to victims of the World Trade Center attack.
Anita Contini, 58, a vice president for global sponsorships and events marketing for Merrill Lynch, will be vice president and director of memorial, cultural and civic programs for the Lower Manhattan Development Corp., the city-state agency charged with rebuilding the area.
The size and location of the monument
to the more than 2,800 victims of the Sept.11 attack has been a contentious issue, with some relatives wanting the entire 16-acre site to become a memorial. On Saturday, Gov. George Pataki promised there would be no commercial development on the one-acre patches each tower occupied.
"I know that there are many viewpoints and different views." Contini said.
Before joining Merrill Lynch in 1999, Contini directed the arts and events program at the World Financial Center since 1986. In 1973, she founded Creative Time Inc., a nonprofit arts organization,

Board of Regents approves 25.2 % tuition increase
By Lauren Beatty
Kansan staff writer
The wait is over. Soon all University of Kansas students will know exactly how much their tuition will increase this fall.
The Kansas Board of Regents members attended their last meeting of the fiscal year Thursday in Topeka. Ending on a somewhat sour note, the board approved a 25.2 percent tuition increase for resident undergraduate students. A 25 percent increase would mean a student taking 15 hours would pay $300 more in the fall.
"Iknew to make our university competitive, tuition would have to go up," Kim Kardash, Overland Park senior, said. "But 25 percent is a lot. I was expecting about 10 percent. At least I'm a senior and I'm out of here soon."
Non-resident undergraduate students will pay 9.3 percent more, resident graduates 18.6 more and non-resident graduates 8.6 more than last semester.
The University's tuition increase is the largest in the state. Kansas State University's tuition will increase slightly less, at 25.1 percent.
The increase will affect the fall 2002 tuition. Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations, said the tuition assessments students received at enrollment were only
a preliminary tally. The assessments included a warning to students that the total amount due would go up.Bretz said final bills would be sent to students around July 13.Tuition is due Aug.8.
Students who receive financial aid will also have to deal with the tuition increase. The Office of Student Financial Aid was refiguring all financial aid awards, said Bretz.
"They are working through the weekend," she said. "Eligible students will receive a revised award letter that will go out July 3."
Student body president Jonathan Ng attended the Regents meeting and said he and the other students knew not much could be done to stop the increase so late in the debate.
The University will give a total of $2.2 million in tuition grants to approximately 3900 students initially. More awards will be given as applications are received, said Bretz.
"We weren't expecting anything different," he said. "It's not a matter of what we could have done. Our next step is to focus on the future. Students need to know where their tuition money is going."

Area displays provide holiday entertainment
By Todd Smith
Kansan Staff Writer
Students have plenty of options to see fireworks displays in the area this Fourth of July.
Lawrence
The Lawrence Jaycees' annual Fourth of July event will be held in Burcham Park, W. 2nd and Indiana streets, and is free to the public. The Alfred Packard Band will play bluegrass music at 7:30, and the fireworks display will begin at dusk. The display, which will last 30 to 45 minutes, would be larger than last year's display, Gary Saathoff, treasurer of the Jaycees, said.
He said the Jaycees spent $12,000 on the display, $7,000 more than last year because of better fundraising and a $4,000 contribution by the city of Lawrence.
The Lawrence Journal-World is sponsoring buses to take people from any of the downtown parking lots to Burcham Park starting at 5:45 p.m.,he said.
The Jaycees expected 3,000 to 5,000 people to come to the park and 10,000 to 15,000 people to view the fireworks from other places in town, Saathoff said.
Lake Perry
Fireworks festivities begin at noon north of Lawrence at Lake Perry and will include a boat parade, sky divers and musical entertainment. Fireworks begin after dark off the dam on the east side of the lake.
"It is 30 minutes of solid fireworks set to patriotic music with a fantastic finale," said Debby Best, co-owner of the Lake Petty Marina.
Best said the fireworks display cost
about $30,000 and about 60,000 people are expected to attend.
She said people would pay $5 for parking after 4 p.m.
Downtown Kansas City
The fireworks display at the City Market, 20 E. 5th St., will have live music by It's a Beautiful Day, featuring Dave and Linda LaFlanne, and Brody Buster. Fireworks begin at 10 p.m. Tickets cost $5 in advance and $7 at the gate. Children 10 and younger will be admitted free.
Susan Ward, administration supervisor of Shawnee County Parks and Recreation, said the cost of the fireworks was approximately $30,000.
The fireworks display at Lake Shawnee Park, 3137 S.E. 29th St., will begin at 10 p.m. and last for 25 minutes.
Over 60,000 people attended the display last year, Ward said.
The display is free to the public.
There is also an arts and crafts festival in the park July 4 to 6, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day.
Overland Park
The Overland Park fireworks display will be at Corporate Woods on College Boulevard and Indian Parkway. Festivities begin at 4 p.m. and will include music by Atlantic Express and a Kansas Guard flyover.
Topeka
The display will start at 9:40 p.m. The Overland Park Rotary Club and the city of Overland Park are sponsoring the display.

Cigarette tax increase burns holes in smokers' wallets
Jay Pilgreen Kansan staff writer
Since Monday, students who smoke have found the cost of their cigarettes has gone up. The increase is due to a state-imposed cigarette tax, which raised the price 46 cents per pack.
Jamie Lett, manager of Tobacco Express,
2104 A. W. 25th St., said the normal price for premium packs increased from $3.66 to
$4.14. She said prices for premium cartons increased from $31.31 to $36.16.
She said customers were shocked, but they bought cigarettes anyway.
"We had some regular customers buy two or three cartons and stock up." Lett said.
Lett said she doubted the increased tax would deter business.
Students might choose to find alternatives to their current smoking habits. Andrew McLaughlin, a recent graduate from Midland, Texas, said he would buy cigarettes by the carton, which contain 10 packs of cigarettes.
McLaughlin said he smoked about a pack a day, and despite the increase in price, would continue smoking.
"I don't anticipate quitting anytime soon," he said.
McLaughlin said the worst part of the price increase might come when he
bought cigarettes at bars or restaurants.
Current prices average $5 per pack, but
prices could go higher. McLaughlin said
he didn't like paying $5 or more for a pack,
but would if he had to.
"Money doesn't seem to be quite as important when I'm out," he said.
The increase raises the tax on cigarettes from 24 cents to 70 cents, and accompanies a slew of changes designed to help the state through its budget crisis.
Along with cigarettes, the retail sales tax rate increased from 4.9 to 5.3 until July 1, 2004. Motor fuel taxes increased 2 cents per gallon, raising gasoline to 23 cents and diesel to 25 cents. Vehicle registration fees increased from $25 to $30 for most cars and from $35 to $40 for most light trucks and some sport utility vehicles.
The bill also institutes new laws and programs throughout the state.
Consumers can avoid telemarketing calls by joining a "no call" list maintained by the Direct Marketing Association for $5. Cock fighting has also been banned. Cock fighting previously fell under animal cruelty laws, and some legislators said the lack of specific ban made it difficult to prosecute offenders.

HEALTH REPORT
Smoking increases deaths
Cancer more prevalent in smoker-dense Appalachia
The Associated Press
Death rates from cancer are higher in Appalachia than in the rest of the United States, and smoking is a key culprit, researchers concluded.
For every 100,000 people living in Appalachia, there were 173.1 cancer deaths during a 1994-98 study period, compared with 166.7 cancer deaths per 100,000 nationally for the same period.
While death rates from breast, cervical and colorectal cancers varied, only lung cancer death rates were almost universally higher in Appalachia than in the rest of the country.
In rural sections of Appalachia, the number rose to 176.3, according to research conducted at the University of Kentucky and Penn State in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Nationally, there were 48.9 lung cancer deaths per 100,000 people during the study period. In Appalachia, the rate was 53.9, and in rural counties, 57.2—almost
The study, released in late June, looked at Appalachia's 13-state region, from New York to Mississippi, and 266 rural counties. West Virginia is the only state that lies entirely within the region.
17 percent above the national average.
"If you take lung (cancer) out of the mix, the Appalachian rates are lower, and I think that's a powerful message," said lead investigator Stephen W. Wyatt, associate director for cancer control at the University of Kentucky's Markey Cancer Center.
"The numbers are so amazingly large, the number of deaths are on the lung side, they just drive all cancer rates up in Appalachia."
While a number of factors contribute to the higher rates, including limited access to heath care facilities and lack of insurance, Wyatt cited another culprit — "the epidemic of male smoking in Appalachia."
The lung cancer death rate among Appalachian women was virtually the same as the national average. Among men, the rate was 17 percent higher, and almost 26 percent higher among men in rural counties.
The study also found elevated rates of cervical cancer in Kentucky, Ohio and West Virginia, and higher colorectal cancer rates in Kentucky, Maryland, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The exact causes were not determined.

Two new custard shops open, offer competition for Custard Cup
By Todd Smith Kansan staff writer
With temperatures rising as the summer rolls on, students looking to cool off with frozen custard will soon have more options.
Sheridan's Frozen Custard and Culver's Frozen Custard Butterburgers join the Custard Cup as the three custard shops in town.
Duke Frye, owner of Sheridan's Frozen Custard, 2030 W. 23rd St., said the store should open July 15. The store will occupy the building where Hardee's was located.
Frye said he decided to bring a Sheridan's to Lawrence because of the potential market and the location he was able to acquire. The company has seven stores in operation, not including the Lawrence location.
"The 23rd and Iowa location in my mind is the prime site in town," he said. "It is the highest traffic intersection in the city."
Frye said Sheridan's was a high volume frozen custard business that was capable of making a lot of custard in a short amount of time.
Custard had a higher percentage of butter fat and eggs than ice cream, Frye said. It is also served at about 20 degrees, while ice cream is served at below zero.
He said it provided a huge number of items to put on its product, including pecans, cherries, bananas and strawberries.
"That is why it does not freeze your teeth as much when you eat it," he said.
David King, Abilene spring graduate, said he had been to the Sheridan's in Olathe and liked the taste and wide variety of ingredients.
"The custard at Sheridan's was really smooth and it tasted really rich," King said.
Frye said as far as competition goes with Culver's, the newest frozen custard restaurant in town, he thought Culver's focused more on food service than custard.
John Olson, co-owner of Culver's Frozen Custard Butterburgers, 2111 W. 33rd St., said their restaurant provided a different niche than the other custard stores in town.
Olson said it sold a lot of custard,but the restaurant also sold a lot of food items.
He said the combination of frozen custard and butterburgers made the restaurant unique.
A butterburger had fresh ground beef chuck on a lightly buttered and toasted bun, Olson said.
Olson said they chose the location on 33rd Street because of the expanding retail market in the area. The movie theaters were nearby, and JCPenney, SuperTarget, and Walmart stores are close to their store,
"Other than downtown, this is the hottest retail center in the city," Olson said.
he said.
He said the business was doing well since it opened on June 17.
"We have been busy, and we have done little advertising, and sales have been 35 percent above projections." Olson said.
He said he thought there was plenty of room in Lawrence for his business, Sheridan's and the Custard Cup.
The Custard Cup, 529 W.23rd St., Suite E, used to be the lone custard shop in Lawrence.
Bonnie Plumberg, owner of The Custard Cup, said her custard was different from the others because of her vanilla.
"Our vanilla comes from Madagascar and costs $90 a gallon and makes a big difference in our flavor," she said.
She said when she opened her frozen custard shop in 1999 she heard some of the bigger chains, like Sheridan's and Culver's, were looking into the Lawrence area.
Plumberg said her business was locally-owned and operated, unlike the other two frozen custard stores.
Plumberg said she thought if she presented the community with a good product and had a couple of seasons under her belt, she could establish a regular clientele.
"We have a lot of people come in here on a regular basis and Lawrence residents

Alternative Break conference comes to KU, helps community
By Todd Smith Kansan staff writer
Volunteers from across the country are helping to build a gift shop for the Pelathhe Youth Entrepreneurial Program.
Ryan Cox, Florida State senior, said the gift shop would help a lot of young people better their lives by teaching them how to run a business and manage money.
"We may not be as involved with the Native American community." Cox said. "We do feel that we are touching it and helping promote positive things in the community."
Caroline Hicks, project director of the Pelathé Youth Entrepreneurial Program, said without the Alternative Break students help, the gift shop would not have been built.
"It was a huge hurdle for us. We have no manpower or money." Hicks said.
She also said that the program was important to the Pélathé youth because they got to manage the store, decided on what was sold in the shop and the hours they wanted to keep it open.
She said the program was designed to teach kids how to run a successful business. She said it gave the kids more control and experience than working in a fast food restaurant.
The Alternative Break program takes college and high school student volunteers and puts them in community service projects during the spring, summer, fall or winter breaks. The students learn about literacy, poverty, racism, hunger and the environment.
Dan McCabe, executive director of Break Away: The Alternative Break Connection Inc., said 35 students from 17 universities nationwide had come to Lawrence to do volunteer work. It was part of the training for the 2002 Alternative Break Citizenship Schools conference at the University of Kansas from June 22 to 28. board of directors of Breaks An
The board of directors of Break Away chose KU based on the commitment of the University and its Alternative Break program. McCabe said the KU housing department helped out by providing places for participants to stay and the University provided space for the workshops.
McCabe said the KU Alternative Break program had been committed to being one of the best in the country.
"The Alternative Break program at KU improves every year and is definitely one of the largest." McCabe said.
He said the conference was unique because it placed participants through an Alternative Break while they learned how to strengthen their own programs.
The participants worked half a day at the Pélathe Community Center, 1423 Haskell Ave., and they were in workshops for the other half, McCabe said.
"They also have speakers that have experiences with different aspects of Native American issues," he said.
McCabe said the conference incorporated all aspects of the Alternative Break program.
"You do community service, learn about social issues that coincide with the community service and can hopefully breakdown stereotypes and plan ways to become more involved and educated about communities," he said.
Kendra Seaman, recent Wichita graduate and former co-director for Alternative Breaks, said the program had changed her life.
"I went to Detroit and had an eye-opening experience," she said.
In Detroit the group went to schools and talked about violence prevention, Seaman said.
She said she learned that a large number of inner-city students were affected by violence.
ence. "I realized there were a lot of amazing kids out there that had not had the same opportunities that I have had," Seaman said.
Her Alternative Break experience has led her to volunteering for Teach For America. The Teach For America program places volunteers in school districts that cannot hire enough teachers. She will spend two years teaching at schools in low-income areas.
McCabe said the Alternative Break pro gram was about creating lifelong active citizens.
He said, "It is good that students are volunteering in the community, but the bigger issue is that they are educated on social issues through these programs and become active community members for a lifetime."

Malott Gateway under construction
WASHINGTON CENTER
CONTRIBUTED ART
An artist's rendering shows the Malott Gateway as it should appear in October. The gateway is the first initiative from the KU First fundraising campaign.
By Jay Pilgreen Kansan Staff Writer
The first piece of the Lawrence campus landscape master plan is well into construction, and should be finished by October
The Malott Gateway, located in front of the Visitor Center at 15th and Iowa streets, would enhance the entryway to campus, said Greg Wade, landscape architect for the Design and Construction Management office.
Wade said the gateway would have a circular plaza that would be used by the Visitor Center. Northern red oak trees would serve as a backdrop, and gardens, composed of a mix of perennials and bushes, would surround the plaza, Wade said.
The plan also includes a 70-foot stone wall engraved with the University of Kansas name.
According to the Endowment Association, the gateway, which has a budget of $1 million, was a gift from Robert H. Malott, son of the late Chancellor Deane W. Malott, to honor his father and mother's efforts to beautify the Lawrence campus in the 1940s.
The landscape master plan was developed in 2001. According to the Endowment Association, it was a $23 million initiative to enhance and unify the entire appearance of the campus. Dale Sauferling, executive vice president for development at the Endowment Association, said this was the first step in a plan to enhance the historic beauty of the campus.
"This isn't an isolated gift or a project that has no relationship to anything else. The University announced last year that
they had engaged in a master plan to develop gateways to the campus," Sauferling said.
The master plan is a part of the KU First campaign, introduced last year with a goal to raise $500 million. It will continue for the next 10 years. Wade said there were two more gateways being designed for entrances at 11th and Mississippi streets and the Chi Omega circle. Sauferling said the plan would be paid for through private funding.
"One of the objectives of the lasting master plan, in addition to decoration, is to improve the signage throughout the campus," Scarrfe said. "It will benefit students."
John Scarrfe, director of communications for the Endowment Association, said the gateway would have practical aspects as well as aesthetic ones.
Along with students, Scarrfe said the gateway benefited everyone who came to the University.
"This is a way, especially for visitors to campus, to really know you have arrived to the University of Kansas," Scarrfe said. "It's not just decoration."
"The reality is such that tuition fees and state resources probably will never be available, nor practically applied to such a project." Sauferling said

Bed and breakfast adds cattle driving to its menu
By Todd Smith Kansan staff writer
Watching the Texas longhorn cattle rustling up dust across the horizon might be an everyday occurrence in Texas, but it is also possible just outside of Lawrence.
Rob Phillips, owner of Free State Farm, 1431 N. 1900 Road, is trying to bring a cowboy flavor to the area by providing cattle drives at his farm.
CABO ROJO
The cattle drives had 20 head of cattle and took approximately a half -hour, he said.
Phillips said that he and his wife, Beverly, drove the cattle twice a day, at 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. They started the cattle drives on June 1.
Lawrence resident Emma Phillips herds a group of cattle around the trail at the Victorian Veranda Country Inn, 1431 N 1900 Road.
Phillips said they decided to do the cattle drives to attract business to their bed and breakfast on the farm just north of Interstate 70. The Victorian Veranda Country Inn, which opened in 1998, has 10guest rooms. Approximately a thousand guests stayed at the inn every year, he said.
JOHN NOWAK/KANSAN
Jeff Mercer, director of Kansas Travel and Tourism, said 67 percent of Kansas tourists wanted to know where they could have a cowboy experience.
Phillips said they decided to do the cattle drives to attract business to their bed and breakfast on the farm just north of Interstate 70.
"Weare giving them a place in Kansas to see a cowboy." Phillips said.
Tarah Herrington, Lawrence sophomore and horseback training instructor at Free State Farm, said she would be driving the cattle before the summer was done.
"This is the only place I know of where I
can get on a horse and go cattle driving," Herrington said.
Phillips said they modeled their cattle drive after one that is done in Fort Worth, Texas at Stockyards Station, the site of daily cattle drives.
He said it worked well in Fort Worth and brought in hundreds of tourists every year.
Phillips said since they started the cattle drives in June, they have had about 80 people come to watch or be a part of it.
"It's starting to be a steady flow of customers," he said.
He said they had a viewing area where people could watch the cattle drive for free. Riding along on a horse costs $40. To ride along in a wagon pulled by horses during the cattle drive costs $10 for people over 12, $5 for children 6 to 12 and free for children 5 and under.
Amber Kjelshus, Gardner senior and the lead horseback riding instructor, said horseback riding lessons were provided at Free State Farm.
Kjelshus said private lessons cost $25 an hour and group lessons cost $75 an
hour. She said private lessons were provided through the farm and group lessons through the Lawrence Parks and Recreation department.
Kjelshus said the farm offered two-hour trail rides that costed $38 for people who had been on a horse before.
The trail rides were usually done on weekends by appointment, she said.
Kjelshus said learning to ride a horse could be a self-empowering experience that was better than sitting at home watching television.
"Galloping on a horse in a wide open field is the best feeling," Kjelshus said.

Bush lobbies Congress for unified Homeland Security Department
By JESSE J. HOLLAND Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON Congress should not split up the Immigration and Naturalization Service when including the embattled agency in a new Homeland Security Department, the Bush administration said Wednesday.
"To make the system work, the right hand of enforcement must know what the left hand of visa application and processing is doing at all times," the president's homeland security adviser, Tom Ridge, told the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The House in April voted to break up the INS into separate agencies dealing with border enforcement and new citizenship. That vote came before the White House effort to move the entire agency into the proposed Cabinet-level department.
Some lawmakers said it sends the wrong message to combine the job of processing legitimate immigrant visas with that of border control in the new department.
"Better to have a comprehensive approach and one agency over which there is controlling legal authority rather than dividing the responsibility between two or more Cabinet agencies," Ridge said.
Other agencies being transferred have different missions that have nothing to do with
The House in April voted to break up the INS into separate agencies dealing with border enforcement and new citizenship.
homeland security, such as the Coast Guard's work with marine fisheries and boating safety. Ridge said the administration wants to keep all of those agencies intact.
"To try to segregate and separate them would not guarantee the kind of reform and improvement we would all seek," he said.
At House Agriculture Committee hearing, farm groups and many lawmakers questioned the wisdom of shifting the Agriculture Department's plant and animal health division. It deals with eradication of pests and diseases affecting the food and fiber supply, ranging from cotton boll weevils to citrus canker.
"The reality is that even in wartime, cows must be milked," said Rep. Charles Stenholm, D-Texas.
Ridge said the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and other agencies should remain where they are. Although they do have some anti-terrorism duties,
"their primary mission seems to be outside that venue." Ridge said.
He expressed confidence in changes at the FBI and CIA, investigative agencies that are to remain independent from the new department despite criticism they failed to provide any warning before the Sept.11 attacks.
"It is essential that reforms in the FBI and the CIA must continue," said Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, the committee's top Republican.
Ridge cited steps by the FBI and CIA since Sept. 11, such as better sharing of intelligence information, as evidence they were moving the right direction. He was responding to a question from the committee chairman, Sen. Patrick Leahy, DVt., if a new terrorism investigative agency were needed.
Ridge said he thought FBI Director Robert Mueller was "making very aggressive and very positive steps."
The administration wants to combine 100 federal entities with 170,000 employees and total annual budgets of at least $37 billion into one department all without spending any extra government money. President Bush does not plan to ask for any money for the new department until the 2004 budget year, which many lawmakers say is not realistic.
Westar Energy comes to agreement
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — The state's largest electric company settled with other parties Tuesday over the sale of one of its major assets, but regulators initially were skeptical.
The agreement involves Westar Energy's plans to sell its 45 percent interest in ONEOK Inc., a Tulsa, Okla., natural gas company. Westar's stock in ONEOK is worth $971 million, and Westar hopes to receive $738 million after taxes—and is offering it back to ONEOK first.
The agreement involves Westar, ONEOK, the Kansas Corporation Commission's staff and the Citizens' Utility Ratepayers Board, a state agency that represents residential and small-business consumers. It would require Westar to use money from the stock sale to pay off some of its estimated $3 billion in corporate debt.
The sale would be part of Westar's efforts to improve its financial condition, something that now concerns the KCC and consumer advocates.
The parties filed the agreement with the commission, and ONEOK's attorney asked the KCC to approve it within a week.

Lawrence train station sees low traffic Amtrak avoids derailment with loan
By Lauren Beatty
Kansan staff writer
The Amtrak station in East Lawrence is dusty, dingy and deserted. An empty parking lot and an unstaffed building would lead most people to assume that this rail station has been abandoned for some time, but it hasn't. Only two trains visit this station, and they arrive at 1:06 and 5:44 a.m. daily when most of the city is still asleep. The early train heads to Chicago, the other train is bound for Los Angeles.
It's not just the Lawrence station that is floundering. The entire Amtrak company is in trouble. Amtrak CEO David Gunn announced in May that if his company didn't receive $200 million in financial help all of Amtrak's commuter train stations would have to shut down.
There is light at the end of the tunnel. Amtrak officials and Congress reached an agreement Wednesday that would allow
Amtrak to immediately borrow $270 million to keep trains running until Sept. 30. At the same time, Congress is considering Amtrak's request for a $1.2 billion government subsidy for the fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1.
Jamie Basham, Overland Park senior, used Amtrak last year to visit her dad in New York City because she was anxious about flying so soon after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. She said she was a little disappointed in the service she received compared with flying.
Despite the 36-hour trip, Basham said she liked seeing the country and thought it was a good alternative to flying. She was not alone in choosing Amtrak.
"It cost $300 and there were no free beverages," Basham said. "It was $2.50 for a small bottle of water."
According to amtrak.com, ridership reached an all-time high in 2001 with more than 23 million people climbing
John Novotny, manager of Travellers Inc., 831 Massachusetts St., said many students from Chicago and St. Louis used Amtrak to get from school to home. He said if Amtrak shut down, it could cause problems for these travellers.
aboard.
"Any time a travel option is not available for some reason, that's not a good thing." Novotny said.
Basham said she hadn't heard about Amtrak's problems and wasn't concerned about being stranded in Kansas.
"I'm going to use it again," she said. "I don't think it will be shut down by August. If it is, I will just fly."

Professor owns rare KU basketball dolls
By Lauren Beatty Kansan staff writer
In Russia, Paul Pierce is really Paul Pierge, Raef LaFrentz is African-American and Billy Thomas is a ravishing blond.
Apparently Russian people aren't as familiar with University of Kansas basketball players as Lawrence residents are.
Tom Volek, associate professor of journalism, owns some Russian matryoshka dolls, commonly called nesting dolls, featuring the mugs of five of Kansas' favorite sons. Matryoshka dolls are the traditional wooden dolls that fit inside each other. Take the head off of one doll and the smaller doll appears inside.
Ryan Robertson and Jared Haase complete his set. He said the Kansas dolls were rare.
"The novelty ones are primarily for American tourists," Volek said. "You walk past a million of them. There are teams like the Chicago Bulls or the Washington Redskins, but this is the first time I've ever seen a college team. It's amazing. I never thought I'd see a KU matryoshka doll."
Volek said he didn't know who made the dolls or why they had mistakes.
Volek's daughter Sabra was the first to set eyes on the unusual dolls. She brought them home from Moscow where she studied for a year. Volek said when he traveled to Russia, the only local team he ever saw
was the Kansas City Chiefs.
Volek said he kept the dolls at home but brought them to his office in the Dole Human Development Center to show all his coworkers.
"They get a kick out of it," he said.
Maria Carlson, professor of Slavic languages and literatures, said the first matryoshka doll was created around 1891 by a Russian artist named Sergei Maliutin. They were traditionally represented motherhood, she said.
Carlson said the art form blossomed when folk artists began to create exact replicas of Maliutin's Russian peasant woman as souvenirs.
"The nesting dolls are some of the most varied and often encountered souvenirs in Russia," she said. "No longer are they just peasant women. If it comes in a series, someone will make a matryoshka out of it."
Carlson said she also had a set of Kansas basketball player dolls, but her set featured Kirk Hinrich, Lester Earl and Kenny Gregory.
"Back in 1999 one of my former students commissioned a set of KU player dolls for me," she said. "He took a picture of the team with him for the artist to work from. The artist had never done a basketball team before. I wonder if my former student started a trend."

Student wins trip to Scotland, $10,000 for dissertation
By Matt Norton
Kansan sportswriter
Chris Thompson's doctoral dissertation has earned him a trip to one of golf's most hallowed shrines.
Mike Brackett
His research into an exercise training regimen for golfers was recognized by Golf Magazine and the World Scientific Congress of Golf with a Science and Golf Prize that will be awarded to him in a presentation at The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, Scotland, later this month.
LAURIESISK/KANSAN
Along with a $10,000 prize, Thompson, who is from Foxborough, Mass., will get to play a round of golf on the famous Old Course at St. Andrews, the oldest golf course in the world, and present his study to some of the sport's leading officials.
Thompson's project beat out 77 applicants from around the world for the award.
"It was totally unexpected," he said of winning the award. "I had a budget of zero dollars."
Thompson, an enthusiastic golfer since his high-school years with a 1.7 handicap, said he started with the idea that there was a hole in the development of most golfers. He saw that unlike other sports, golf didn't have a sport-specific guide to help players get in better shape.
Thompson said that many people thought a golfer could be out of shape and still play.
"But if you walk the course, you have to be in pretty good shape," he said.
Not to mention golf uses a lot of muscles, especially in the shoulders, hips and trunk, in ways that no other sport does.
So Thompson gathered a group of a couple dozen golfers to embark on an eightweek training regimen to improve their game and make it more enjoyable as well.
Thompson said the golfers had to participate in at least 24 one-hour sessions over the eight weeks, but many went to as many as 40 sessions.
The conditioning program included cardiovascular exercises, strength training for golf-specific muscles and swinging weighted golf clubs.
The program ended with a measurement of club head speed and an 18-hole tournament.
Thompson said, on average, the golfers improved four miles per hour in club head speed, which can increase distance, but what pleased him most was the reported improvement in the golfers' daily lives from their new-found fitness.
Frank Quiring, Lawrence resident, plays golf once or twice a week and practices at the driving range as well.
"Some of them said they were hitting it further into the woods." Thompson joked
Quiring participated in Thompson's study, and said that while his scores hadn't improved noticeably, his enjoyment of the game had.
Quiring said that his flexibility, a key to

playing golf well and injury-free, had improved after participating in the program.
"As we get older, I wanna tell you, some of those things become more difficult," Quiring said.
Quiring said that Thompson's patience and encouragement helped make the program even more advantageous.
"I think people who took the course will benefit their whole life," Quiring said.
One perk of the project for Thompson was something that most doctoral students do not get from their dissertation.
"I started watching this hot chick lifting weights and started ignoring the old guys a little bit," he said with a grin.
That chick was Andrea Hacker, a dietitian in the department of health, sport & exercise sciences, and she and Thompson were married last month in Hacker's hometown of Joplin, Mo.
Now that the couple are married, Chris Thompson can no longer joke to his friends about Andrea's last name, a slang term in golf for one who doesn't play very well.
"Me not being a golfer, I didn't think it was very funny," she joked. "But he's been playing so bad lately, now maybe he should take my name instead."
Whether this project promotes further research or keeps his game in shape, Thompson said his love for golf had made the project worthwhile.

"Golf is one of those games that can pull you in so quickly," he said. "I wanted to do something to give back to the game."

Staying in school could pay off for Hinrich, Collison
COMMENTARY
Pc
Next season more than 16,000 people will fill Allen Fieldhouse and cheer for the Kansas men's basketball team. Fans will yell for Aaron Miles' pin-point passes, Keith Langford's athletic moves to the hoop and Wayne Simien's ferocious dunks.
Sure, Collison and Hinrich could each have another breakout year and move up into next year's draft lottery. That would be a boon financially, as Hinrich moving from the final pick in the draft, where Dickau was chosen, to 10th overall would likely mean an increase of about $2.5 million over three years.
Fans will also cheer for the only two senior Jayhawks, Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich, both of whom stuck around and didn't leave for the NBA draft, even though an early departure from Kansas may have been in their best interests.
As nice as that much money would be, it would also mean playing for a team that didn't make the playoffs instead of one that finished near the top of the league.
A. R. S.
The 13 teams in this year's lottery combined for a .381 winning percentage, and only four of those squads have a legitimate chance of making the playoffs this year, barring any major free signings.
The two announced their intentions to stay in early May even though they knew they would have been first-round draft picks. Last week's draft proved that, as three guards — Fredrick Jones of Oregon, Juan Dixon of Maryland and Dan Dickau of Gonzaga — with less talent and worse stats than Hinrich were taken in the first round. Collision, being a 6-foot-9, 250-pound man, probably would have been taken ahead of Ryan Humphrey of Notre Dame at No. 19 to the Utah Jazz and shouldn't have dropped below the Detroit Pistons at No. 23.
Levi Chronister

On the other hand, teams not in the lottery — those that made the postseason — won 60 percent of their regular-season games last season. Although the extra money from making the playoffs wouldn't equal that difference of $2.5 million, one would hope that the experience of playing on a winning team, especially for players from a school with a history like Kansas', would make up a large portion of the disparity.
Collison and Hinrich, though, decided that the experience of playing for the Jayhawks, a chance at a national title and improving as players before reaching the pros were more important than the money or the NBA playoffs.
Suffice to say, fans should be extremely appreciative of the duo this year and thank them for staying in Lawrence with cheering and applause even more raucous than normal in Allen Fieldhouse.
Had the pair jumped to the NBA, KU would have faced a starting lineup of Simien, Jeff Graves, Miles, Langford and Jeff Hawkins or Bryant Nash and a middle of the pack finish in the Big 12 Conference.

Kansas gets Ritch with new baseball coach
Price was selected over Baylor assistant Mitch Thompson, Kansas assistant Wilson Kilmer and Cal State-Chico coach Lindsay Meggs.

Bohl said Price would emphasize both academic and athletic achievement in the baseball program.
"I am really pleased and excited to have Ritch Price as our head baseball coach," Bohl said. "He is committed to building a Top 25 program."
Price compiled a 217-228-1 record in eight seasons at Cal Poly, leading the team as it moved from NCAA Division II to Division I status in 1995. He finished the last three seasons with winning records, including a 30-29-1 mark in 2002 and a third-place
He said when Cal Poly first moved to Division I, it was a challenge competing in the Big West with only 6.5 scholarships and less-than-adequate facilities.
finish in the Big West Conference.
Price said he saw many similarities between the rebuilding job he did at Cal Poly and the one he now faces at Kansas.
The maximum amount of scholarships the NCAA allows for baseball is 11.7 scholarships per school. In addition, the team played games in a facility off campus that it was not allowed to practice on.
"We only had an infield to practice on," Price said. "There were new engineering buildings built in the outfield."
Now the Mustangs have a multi-million dollar facility and are one of the best teams in the Big West. Price said he was proud of the program he had built.

Mangino sees promise for upcoming season
Jay Pilgreen Kansan staff writer
As the new Kansas head football coach, Mark Mangino said things were looking good for the Jayhawks,and the players were excited for the fall.
"Our players have been very enthusiastic through the winter season, and it's carried through spring and now into summer, which is so important because it gets us going on the right foot come August." Mangino said. "They have dedicated themselves to getting better, and that's a great sign."
The Jayhawks start their season against Iowa State Aug 31 in Ames, Iowa, then travel to Las Vegas to play UNLV. The first home game will be Sept. 14 against Southwest Missouri State, followed by Bowling Green on the Sept.21.
Mangino said he was having a hard time keeping up with mail wishing the team well, and urged fans to keep up the support. He said it was important for players, coaches and fans to get off to a good start. He said this year's early games were designed to build confidence.
"I believe that the best way, when you're first starting up a program, is to schedule people you're very competitive with, and give you an opportunity to be successful early," Mangino said. "As your program develops, then you escalate your
non-conference schedule."
Mangino was part of both Kansas State and Oklahoma's coaching staffs when each of the teams achieved Top 25 status under Bill Snyder and Bob Stoops, respectively. He said that to contend with other powerhouses in the Big 12, the Jayhawks would just have to win. He said the players were moving in the right direction.
"The chemistry of the team is the most important thing when talking in relationship to winning, and we're developing that chemistry right now," Mangino said.
He said that team effort would give the Jayhawks victories, and that the program was coming together at the right moment
"The whole is greater than any of its parts, and I think our players are really starting to understand that," he said.
For fans wanting a winning season, Mangino said there was certainly hope, and that hard work was the key.
"I believe if our team plays hard on every single play, from the opening kickoff to the final gun, results will come."
Jenay Leddy, assistant media relations director for the football team, said players and assistant coaches were unavailable for comment throughout the summer.

Chancellor asks governor for help with Oread debate
By Lauren Beatty
Kansan staff writer
Just when things in the Oread Neighborhood seemed to be settled, the University of Kansas once again attempted to get permission to tear down a trio of houses it owns on Ohio Street.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway issued a letter June 18 to Gov. Bill Graves asking him to reconsider the University's plan to demolish the homes in favor of a new scholarship hall. The plan was defeated in March by Ramon Powers, state historic preservation officer.
The University and the neighborhood have been locked in a battle over the University's right to raze the properties at 1323, 1329 and 1333 Ohio St. for more than a year. This isn't the first time the University and the city have butted heads in striving for a balance between neighborhood preservation and University expansion.
The beginning
Greg Hickam has lived in the Oread Neighborhood since his birth 44 years ago. His grandparents managed a boarding house in the 1950s for international students. He said the three houses in question used to be functioning homes in the neighborhood and one was even commissioned by Edgar Bailey, inventor of the rock chalk chant. But as the homes aged, they became run down and uninhabitable.
Hickam, president of the Oread Neighborhood Association, said he approached the owners of the properties with a client interested in purchasing one of the homes, but the landlords didn't want to sell the homes individually. Members of the Oread Neighborhood also attempted to put together an investment group, Hickam said.
"Prior to KU buying the homes I know there were two, possibly three, offers," Hickam said. "But when an institution comes in, it skews real estate values. They paid an exhorbant amount for the properties."
Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations, remembers the purchase of the houses differently. She said the city declared the homes to be blighted in February 2000 and the University bought the homes later that year.
The purchase
"The University is approached all the time with offers," she said. "The houses had been sitting there a long time. No one else had stepped forward to purchase them."
Hickam said the Oread Neighborhood was surprised because the University had issued a campus plan in 1997 that declared the end of expansion at the alley between Louisiana and Ohio streets.
"They decided not to honor the commitment or visit with neighbors and that's kind of when our argument began," Hickam said.
The battle
Bretz said building a scholarship hall on the land was always the intent of the University and the 1997 master plan was not set in stone.
"Documents are fluid," she said. "You can't predict what will happen in the future. We moved half a block to capture this property."
When the University announced its plan to construct a scholarship hall, Oread Neighborhood residents protested, saying a massive structure such as a scholarship hall would not blend into the neighborhood. According to Kansas law, the city and the University had to work together to come up with a compromise between keeping the homes as they were and building a modern residence.
Hickam said other houses in other neighborhoods were also destroyed at the hands of the University. There were houses taken down to build Amini Scholarship Hall, the Adams Alumni Center and the parking garage next to the Kansas Union.
Bretz said the University never expanded without permission and always followed city and state laws.
The decision
Because of past tensions and failure to compromise, both sides ultimately agreed to let the state historic preservation officer come in and make the final decision on the Ohio Street properties. Ramon Powers visited Lawrence to listen to scores of residents complain about the University's plan. On March 15, in the final hours before his retirement and the day before spring break started, Powers ruled that the University could not demolish the houses because such an act would encroach upon the historic environment of the Usher House, which appears on the National Register of Historic Places.
Bretz said after a few months of weighing its options, the University decided to ask the governor to reconsider.
The future
Bretz said building a scholarship hall was still the best option for the land. She said problems like neighborhood continuity and parking have been solved.
The governor leaves office in January, and a decision will be made within that six month time period, Kristin Heurtz, a spokeswomen for Gov. Graves, said. This is not the first time the governor has been asked to reconsider a historic society decision.
"In March, the governor overturned a decision made by the Historical Society regarding the Old South Main building at Osawatomie State Hospital," Heuertz said. "The building was listed on the Historical Registry."

Band similar to White Stripes, without incest
---
Jucifer, I Name You Destroyer, Velocette Records
Looking like a reversed White Stripes, but without the potentially incestuous overtones, Jucifer features girlfriend and boyfriend, Amber Valentine on guitar and Ed Livengood on drums, spitting out intense noise-rock.
Jucifer is also different from that other two-piece outfit by eschewing treble as often as possible and focusing mainly on bass, an obvious fact once one hears I Name You Destroyer, the band's second full-length release.
The deep, dark tones work well for the duo and the production on the album, which according to the liner notes was "recorded without Pro Tools, loops, samples, studio musicians, big shots or lackevs."
When aiming toward a more poppy, Sonic Youth sound, like on "Memphis," "Fight Song" and "Little Fever," Jucier sounds like a band near the top of its creative peak — an apex that appears higher than that of Meg and Jack White — by teaming Valentine's riffs and sensual voice with Livengood's ferocious drumming.
Songs like "Queen B" feature too much screaming from Valentine, though, drawing away from the pair's ability to write pop song lyrics and melodies.
"Dissolver" is a perfect example of the band's two faces, switching from a severe beginning to a soft and soothing end just more than a minute into the song. If Jucifer could stay away from that severity just a bit more often it could be the next indie rock darling and the follow-up to I Name You Destroyer could be a bigger hit than the Stripes' White Blood Cells.

Levi Chronister lchronister@kansan.com
THE VINES
Songs like the first single, "Get Free," the title track and "Outtathaway" sound like outtakes from some early '90s Nirvana studio sessions reworked to fit today's pop-friendly radio waves.
The band comes across as its own entity and shows definite potential and originality on slower songs like "Autumn Shade," "Country Yard" and "Homesick." The tunes do have roots in Brit pop but they aren't as deep or obvious as those in the grunge movement.
Originally from Australia, The Vines turned to a paragon of American rock Nirvana — for inspiration and it shows in their debut. Highly Evolved.
The Vines, Highly Evolved, Capitol Records
If they can stop ripping off an alternative rock icon, The Vines show enough promise to be fully in bloom by their third album. Unless you like blatantly derivative music, just listen to your old Nirvana album and wait for The Vines to truly evolve.
"Factory" melds these two influences as the ska revival in England in the late '70s meets a grunge rock chorus and the result is as unsavory as it sounds.

KALGOORLIE, Australia — In dark skies high above the ocean south of Australia, American adventurer Steve Fossett reached the milestone he has chased for more than six years becoming the first person to fly a balloon solo around the world.
balloon solo around the finish line," said mission controller Joe Ritchie as Fossett's silvery Spirit of Freedom balloon crossed east of 117 degrees longitude at 27,000 feet to complete the circumnavigation.
tion. The 58-year-old Chicago investment millionaire covered 19,428.6 miles on the trip, according to his Web site, finally succeeding in his sixth attempt at the record.
"It is a wonderful time for me," said a calm-sounding Fossett by satellite telephone from his cramped capsule, where he has spent two weeks living on military-like rations, breathing from oxygen cylinders and using a bucket as a toilet.
"Finally after six flights I have succeeded and it is a very satisfying experience," he added.
British tycoon Richard Branson — who also has tried and failed to do what Fossett achieved — paid tribute to the adventurer.
"What Steve has achieved is nothing short of remarkable. He has tried time and time again and never given up despite coming close to death on a number of occasions." Branson said in a statement.
"It was the last great aviation challenge. A challenge far more difficult than Lindbergh's crossing of the Atlantic. He deserves his place in the history books and no one can ever take it away from him."
Fossett was already planning his next adventure — flying a glider up to the stratosphere above 60,000 feet from southern New Zealand. He could launch that attempt later this month.
The meticulous preparation, combined with helpful weather made the flight almost uneventful.
Learning from previous failures, this time around Fossett had plenty of fuel, no rogue nations to avoid and enough spare oxygen.
"I'm going to talk to him about this next thing he is doing, because it scares me, frankly." Ritchie said.
"The best flight is not the most exciting flight. This flight has been boring," Ritchie said from Fossett's mission control at Washington University in St. Louis.
The voyage he began June 18 in western Australia took him exactly 13 days, 12 hours, 16 minutes and 13 seconds.
After breaking the record, Fossett was planning to continue drifting across Australia for up to 18 more hours until he finds a safe place to land—most likely on southern Australia's vast Nullarbor Plain on Wednesday morning.

The Who play on, honor dead bassist
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP] — The Who turned their mourning into defiant energy in their first concert after the death of their longtime bassist.
Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey, the surviving members of the seminal, 1960's British rock band performed Monday night at the Hollywood Bowl in the group's first concert since John Entwistle's death last week.
The first two shows of the group's North American tour were canceled after Entwistle, 57, died in his sleep Thursday in Las Vegas, and his bandmates vowed to continue as a tribute to him.
"I just wanted to say that tonight we played for John Entwistle," Daltrey said after opening the show with the hits, "I Can't Explain," and "Substitute." "He was the true spirit of rock 'n' roll and he lives on in the music we play."
The group, featuring substitute bass player Pino Palladino, then launched into a frenetic rendition of "Who Are You."
Earlier, Townshend said he did not expect Palladino, who has played with Tears for Fears, Eric Clapton and Elton John, to "emulate, parody or copy John Entwistle in any way."
"The one request I made was that — at first — he play as loud as he can bear!" the guitarist said in a message posted on his Web site.
Entwistle, Daltrey and Townshend were three of the founding members of the rock quartet. Drummer Keith Moon died in 1978 of a drug overdose.
The group, founded in London in the early 1960s, was part of the British rock invasion along with the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. Their parade of hits included "I Can See For Miles," "Pinball Wizard," and "Won't Get Fooled Again."
The Who has been known for explosive shows that often culminate in the smashing of their musical instruments on stage. But Entwistle's bass guitar work was known for its great reserve, anchoring the wildman antics of the other players.
Fans at the packed Hollywood Bowl gave the group a standing ovation before a single note was played. Palladino played the first few songs off to the side, often in shadow.
Before the set began, giant screens featured video of the group rehearsing at Townshend's home nearly two weeks before Entwistle's death. The audience cheered and applauded each time Entwistle was seen.
Many said they were sorry that he was gone, but believed The Who would survive his loss.
"The truth of the matter is, Entwistle was very mellow, so he affects the music but he doesn't affect the stage dynamic as much," said Howard Fuchs, 50, a Los Angeles attorney who said he had seen the
"I've lost good friends in my life and the best thing you can do to get it out of your system is to express it through music."

group perform nearly 20 times. "He was unique and replaceable all in one."
Most fans said they were glad the band planned to continue.
"Ive lost good friends in my life and the best thing you can do to get it out of your system is to express it through music," said Michael May, 39, of Los Angeles, a camera operator and amateur guitarist.
Midway through the show, Townshend took the microphone to thank fans for supporting the band during their time of mourning.
"We're not just pretending as if nothing happened," Townshend said. "It is difficult."
At the end of the show, he and Daltrey embraced and waved farewell to a giant screen beside the stage on which was projected images of Entwistle from his youth to his older days.

Israel clamps down on West Bank
The Associated Press
HEBRON, West Bank (AP) After briefly lifting a curfew to allow students to take exams, Israeli soldiers stormed a Hebron college campus Tuesday, detaining 300 Palestinians for questioning.
At least seven students were taken away by the army and a number of the students were blindfolded, witnesses said of the Israeli operation, which continued a pattern of large-scale searches and arrests in the main West Bank population centers over the past two weeks.
Since back-to-back suicide bombing attacks in Jerusalem killed 26 Israelis last month, Israeli forces have taken control of seven of the eight main Palestinian cities and towns, declaring curfews that have confined at least 700,000 people to their homes. Only Jericho remains free of Israeli control.
Hundreds of Palestinians have also been detained for questioning and about 60 are still being held, military sources said Tuesday, speaking on condition of anonymity. That was far fewer than Israel detained during a six-week offensive West Bank that ended in May — and which failed to stop Palestinian suicide bombings.
At least 2,000 reserve troops have been called up for the security operations.
"We hope once we are able to subdue
terrorism... it will be possible to renew the political process... and allow the Palestinian people to return to normal life, which definitely they do deserve," said Raanan Gissin, an adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
In Ramallah, Israeli tanks maintained their positions around Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's headquarters.
Responding to a statement by Secretary of State Colin Powell, who said U.S. officials would not meet with Arafat, the Palestinian National Council, a PLO policy body, put out a statement Tuesday expressing its "full, unconditional support and solidarity" with Arafat. The statement said Palestinian officials should "forbid meetings with foreign officials if they are not authorized by the (Palestinian) leadership."
In Hebron, soldiers entered the Palestinian Polytechnic Institute, a two-year college, and ordered men and women into separate yards, where they checked identification cards and questioned students, witnesses said.
The army did not immediately comment on the operation, and it was not clear whether the Israelis lifted the curfew in order to question the students.
Israeli soldiers, meanwhile, re-entered Qalqiliya, residents said, just hours after pulling out and redeploying at the edge of the West Bank town.
A round-the-clock curfew was lifted for
several hours Tuesday in Bethlehem, but remained in place in other areas.
Gissin said security forces were trying to ease curfews in the day and that the government was making an effort to ensure that Palestinians received aid from relief agencies.
"We are well aware of the very difficult and the stressful situation that the Palestinian people finds itself in and we are trying to do everything in our effort, within the very difficult security situation we find, to ease restrictions," Gissin said.
Since the military clamped down on West Bank towns 12 days ago and imposed curfews, no Israelis have been killed by Palestinians but 15 Palestinians have died in clashes.
During the earlier Israeli incursion, more than 200 Palestinians were killed, along with 28 Israelis.
In the southern Gaza Strip, along the border with Egypt, Israeli forces found and destroyed a tunnel intended for smuggling weapons, the army said, adding that several such tunnels had been found recently.
On the political front, the Labor Party, a partner in Sharon's coalition government, debated plans to resolve the Israel-Palestinian conflict. The party leader, Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, told party activists at a convention in Tel Aviv that their main challenge was to restore credibility among the voters.

It was early June, and I was shivering. Even though I was wearing my winter coat, gloves and a hat, the brisk wind made my teeth chatter. I thought of my friends back in Kansas, likely weathering the summer heat and humidity in shorts and T-shirts, but my thoughts were interrupted by a sharp crack that echoed across the boulder field where I was perched, followed by a deep boom.
Chunks of ice fall off a glacier in the Greenland ice sheet, about 35 miles north of the Arctic Circle. University of Kansas scientists travelled there last month to study polar ice caps' relationship to rising sea levels.
The cold wind was blowing off the Greenland ice sheet, and I was 35 miles north of the Arctic Circle, so far north that it didn't get dark at night, watching a glacier drop chunks of ice into a stream.
I was in Kangerlussuaq, a dusty, one road town nestled between the western coast of Greenland and its polar ice sheet on the ultimate field trip.
Scientists at the University of Kansas have developed two types of airborne radar to measure Greenland's ice sheet, which is more than two kilometers thick in some places and covers 80 percent of the world's largest island. Every summer they travel to fly over the ice and gather data, and I got to tag along for a week as a reporting intern, paid through a University grant.
The scientists are studying polar ice because sea levels have been rising over the last century. Sixty percent of the world's population lives in coastal areas, so rising oceans could have catastrophic long-term consequences. Scientists think melting ice sheets are causing some of the ocean's rise as a result of climate change, but much research is still needed to be able to predict what will happen in the future, and that's where the University scientists contribute.
I could see a crack across the face of the glacier that had been widening almost imperceptibly for the last half-hour, a tantalizing hint that a big piece of ice was going to fall off. Almost without warning, the entire face of the glacier split off and thundered to the ground. The impact sent a wave of water and ice shooting into the air. The reverberations echoed off the rocks.
"We are trying to determine what role the polar ice caps are playing in sea level rise," said Pannirselvam Kanagaratnam, graduate research assistant and research engineer with the Information and Telecommunications Technology Center, who was on the trip.

Led by Prasad Gogineni, Deane E. Acker's Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, scientists from ITTC at the University first came to Greenland in 1993 with a radar that measured the thickness of the ice sheet.
"We need to know the thickness to be able to tell how much ice is coming out," Gogineni said.
Kanagaratnam developed another type
of radar for his doctoral thesis that maps the internal layers of the ice sheet. These annual layers help determine how quickly snow is accumulating.
"The accumulation rate is one of the most important experiments that is required to see what the contribution of the ice sheet is to sea level rise," he said.
We flew on a P-3 Orion that was built by the Navy and owned by NASA. Instead of torpedoes, the bomb bay underneath the plane carried scientific equipment instead of flying over oceans searching for enemy subs, it flew over ice sheets gathering data.
While the flight crew fueled the plane and warmed up the engines, the scientists booted up their computers and calibrated their machinery. KU graduate Torry Akins operated the ice-thickness radar.
"If you know how thick the ice is, you can know how much ice is flowing past a certain point," he said.
I got to sit in the cockpit for a prime view of the blue seas, brown hills and brilliant white ice. We flew low, 5,000 feet above the ice.
The surface of the ice was sometimes soft and hazy, and other times it was jagged and sharp. Sometimes we were so far out over the ice sheet that it spread to the horizon like a frozen ocean, and other times we skimmed over glaciers dropping icebergs into the water. One flight took us

over the Jakobshavn Glacier, the fastest moving glacier in the world, which produces 20 million tons of ice a day.
Bill Krabill, a NASA senior scientist who was on the plane doing similar research of his own, said that glaciers were drainage points for the ice sheet.
"The dynamic part of the ice sheet is the edge." he said.
In between flights I had time for a close up view of the ice, as well as musk ox, reindeer and mosquitoes.
Kanagaratnam said after the trip that his radar had worked superbly. He, Akins, Gogineni and the students they are working with are spending the rest of this summer back in hot, humid Lawrence, processing the data and tweaking their systems for the next trip, where they and the other scientists they work with will continue the arduous process of scientific inquiry.
"We're taking a little piece of the puzzle and trying to understand it," Krabill said.

Bow Wow, who dropped the "Lil' ' from his name, makes his feature film debut in this summer's "Like Mike".
'Like Mike' not terrible, but nothing to bark about
X 6
By Christy Lemire
AP Entertainment Writer
"Like Mike," starring the Artist Formerly Known as Lil' Bow Wow and half the National Basketball Association, isn't a complete dog, but it's nothing to bark about either.
Bow Wow, as the rapper is now known he's dropped the Lil' from his moniker, so don't confuse him with rapper Lil' Romeo, who remains little — stars as Calvin Cambridge, an orphan who gets his dream of playing pro basketball thanks to a magical pair of sneakers that may or may not have belonged to Michael Jordan.
Director John Schultz's movie is as lame and predictable as you'd imagine, and it's chock full of orphanage cliches: There's Murph (Jonathan Lipnicki), a meek, bespectacled kid who gets picked on; Ox (Julius Ritter), a bully who has a change of heart; and a sneaky schemer who runs the place, played with singular creepiness by Crispin Glover.
Calvin gets his shot at basketball stardom when he's chosen randomly to play against his hero, Tracy Reynolds (Morris Chestnut), during halftime at a Los Angeles Knights game.
But kids and preteens will flock to "Like Mike"—after they've seen "Men In Black II," of course—because Bow Wow is enormously popular right now. You can't turn on MTV or BET without running into the video for his hit "Take Ya Home."
And it's a family film that means well, with positive messages about teamwork and forgiveness and wearing appropriate headgear while riding a scooter.
He happens to be wearing a pair of Nikes from the Salvation Army with the initials "MJ" inside of them, which he
believes Jordan once wore, thereby giving him mad hoop skills.
His performance is so impressive that the general manager (Eugene Levy) and the coach (Robert Forster) ask him to join the team — if only for the publicity and to boost sagging attendance.
Tracy becomes Calvin's reluctant mentor while the team's on the road, so you just know that by the end of the movie, Calvin will have taught Tracy some valuable lessons, too.
There is a cute scene, though, in which Tracy helps Calvin with his geometry homework by explaining the 1998 Chicago Bulls' triangle offense. (Screenwriters Michael Elliott and Jordan Moffet clearly love this game.)
And it's remotely amusing to see 4-foot-8-inch Calvin strip the ball from Stephan Marbury and dunk on David Robinson.
The presence of those NBA stars and others including Allen Iverson, Chris Webber, Jason Kidd and Vince Carter theoretically should be a draw, if only for the car-wreck fascination of watching basketball players try to look comfortable on camera.
Most of these guys lack the screen presence of, say, Shaquille O'Neal in "Kazaam," or Gheorghe Muresan in "My Giant," and should stick to their day jobs.
Bow Wow is a cute little pup and he has sufficient presence and basketball talent, but he should stick to his day job, too.
After playing bit parts in "All About the Benjamins" and the MTV movie "Carmen: A Hip-Hopera," this is his first starring role, and he's painfully self-aware. That's OK in a lil' music video, but it's hard to watch on the big screen.
"Like Mike," a 20th Century Fox release, is rated PG for brief mild language. Running time: 100 minutes. Two stars (out of four).

Will Smith banks on a blockbuster with MIB II
NEW YORK It is the steamiest June weekend in Manhattan in years, with temperatures in Central Park skulking into the mid-90s. Will Smith, of course, breaks no sweat.
And forget Mama's advice about light colors in the heat: Smith's wearing head-to- toe black broken up only by the big gold interlocking G's on the buckle of a Gucci belt that cost more than you make in a month, and by a pair of silver dog tags.
"One has the name of my boys," said Smith, fingering the necklace, "and the other one's my girls. Jada gave it to me on Father's Day last year."
The boys would be Trey Willard Smith III, age 10, born to Smith and his first wife, Sheree Zampino and Jaden, almost 4. The girls would be his daughter Willow, 2, and Smith's wife Jada Pinkett-Smith, mother of Jaden and Willow.
Willow and Jaden had to stay home, but Trey was allowed to accompany the Smiths to a screening of "MIIB: Men in Black II" a few days earlier, and Smith figures Trey's glowing review is the only one that matters.
"If you can impress your own kid," said Smith, "the rest is pretty much gravy."
To some, it may seem like the last decade of Smith's life has been gravy, and with "MIIB: Men in Black II," which
opens Wednesday for the Fourth of July holiday weekend, he looks to have fallen into the gravy bowl.
Though 1997's "Men in Black" made more than $600 million worldwide, standing as Columbia Pictures' most successful film until "Spider-Man," Smith reportedly was paid about $5 million and had none of the all-important back end, a percentage of the eventual gross.
For the sequel, Smith, 33, is rumored to have gotten $20 million still a few bucks shy of the $25 million per picture now being commanded by Mel Gibson and Tom Cruise, but director Barry Sonnenfeld said Smith's back-end deal could amount to even more than the actual paycheck.
"Basically, to make the deal, Steven had to give up some of his slice," said Sonnenfeld of the film's executive producer, Steven Spielberg. "There's still the potential for everybody to make a lot of money unless, of course, I screwed up, which is always possible."
Even as Smith attempts to make the case that making the sequel was never about the payday, he displays a bigger grin than usual.music. It would be intimidating if he weren't so wonderful. But then he just has this serenity that makes you instantly calm, like `I have seen the light.'"

Study: Estrogen affects sperm
VIENNA, Austria (AP) — Researchers have found the first direct evidence that chemicals in the environment — including some in foods such as peas and beer mimic the effect of the female sex hormone estrogen on the ability of sperm to fertilize eggs.
The study was conducted with mice, but experts say human sperm behave very similarly.
Scientists reported Tuesday at Europe's annual human reproduction conference that such chemicals seem to have a much more potent effect on sperm than estrogen found in the body, and that they might make sperm burn out before reaching the egg.
Studies have shown that estrogen-like chemicals can disrupt the development of the male reproductive system and reduce the production of sperm, but this is the first time scientists have shown they affect sperm itself. Whether the effect is strong enough to cause harm is uncertain.
Sperm expert Christopher Barratt, a professor of reproductive medicine at Birmingham University, said human sperm is even more sensitive to female sex hormones than mouse sperm.
"If the effect is true, it means you would need only extremely low levels in humans to affect sperm," said Barratt, who was not connected with the research.
Lynn Fraser, a professor of reproductive biology at King's College in London, tested the effects on sperm of three pseudo estrogen chemicals and compared the results with the action of natural estrogen found in the vagina.
The three environmental chemicals were genistein, found in soya, peas and other legume vegetables; 8-prenylaringenin, found in beer, and nonylphenol, which is in products such as household cleaners, paint and pesticides.
Sperm goes through lots of changes between leaving the male and arriving at the egg. If it fails at any of those steps, it won't make it.
The final phase of sperm development, where its ability to fertilize is "switched on." is called capacitation.
Capacitation involves a specific pattern of hyperactive wiggling. The outer layer of the sperm is also remodeled and the tail becomes more flexible, giving the sperm about 10 times more energy to help it propel itself.
The process starts inside the female body, once the sperm has left the semen and started its journey to the womb through the cervical mucous. On average, it takes five hours to complete the process.
Once the sperm reaches the uterus, it wiggles into the fallopian tube and makes its way to the oviduct, where it finally
becomes quiet and stays for a day or two until it is summoned by the ovary. By this point, capacitation is complete.
In response to a signal from the ovary, the capacitated sperm travels farther up the tube to a location called the ampulla, where the egg is.
The sperm then docks onto a rubbery coat protecting the egg.
The docking triggers a cascade of events that end with the gradual rupturing of the cap over the head of the sperm, called the acrosome, which contains the enzymes it needs to penetrate the layer. The sperm then docks with the egg's shell and the tail stops swishing. The egg does the rest of the work from there.
Estrogen stimulates this process, but is not crucial to it.
The new research found that both the natural and the pseudo estrogens accelerated the capacitation process and rupturing of the sperm cap, but that the environmental chemicals did it much more quickly.
"All of these compounds stimulate, but if they keep on stimulating, at least some of the sperm will undergo an acrosome reaction (cap rupturing). Strategically, that's really not a good thing because once the sperm have undergone that reaction they can't fertilize, however much they can wiggle," Fraser said.
NEWS IN BRIEF Science fiction authors to sign novels at Union bookstore
The Mount Oread Bookshop at the University will feature several authors at a science fiction and fantasy book signing from 12:45 to 1:30 p.m., Saturday, University officials said.
Officials said the signing was to accompany the annual Campbell Conference on science fiction writing being held Friday through Sunday. The winners of the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for the bet science-fiction novel of the year and the Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award for the best short science fiction of 2001 will be announced at an awards banquet the evening before the signing.
Officials said this year's inductions into the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame would also occur during the banquet. They include: Samuel R. Delany, Michael Moorcock, James Blish and Donald Wollheim.
Books by the inductees will be available at the book signing, and authors Robin Wayne Bailey, James Gunn, Kij Johnson and Frederick Pohl will attend. The recipients of Sturgeon and Campell awards will also be available.

HOROSCOPES
If your birthday is this week: romantic breakthroughs and fast, passionate proposals may be an ongoing theme over the next few months. Before mid-September watch for loved ones and potentialmates to demand a greater role in your emotional life. To some degree, past social or romantic history may also be important. Expect loved ones to relive old memories or ask probing questions. Before January revised financial budgets or new home plansmay also be necessary. Co-habitation, renovations or a fresh awareness of money needs will soon trigger discussion. Stay open to unique proposals; someone close may offer generous assistance.
Aries (March 21-April 20). Monday through Wednesday watch for unusual business or financial information. After a long phase of disinterest colleagues and officials will publicly define business roles or ask for added assistance. For many Aries natives the coming weeks will bring startling changes and fastmoney opportunities. Expect hidden power struggles or highly political agendas. After Friday social invitations are pleasing. Take time to enjoy group activities with friends or loved ones.
Taurus (April 21-May 20). Late Tuesday romantic triangles and quick social disruptions may require added diplomacy. Disputes will be brief but intense. Stand your ground and expect loved ones to provide clear, decisive answers. After midweek many Taureans begin a four-to five-week period of romantic evaluation. New trust, long-term commitment and passionate social encounters may be an ongoing theme. Remain optimistic: Recently stalled relationships may soon become challenging.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Home communications and new business ventures are now favorable. Beginning Tuesday and lasting for the coming five weeks, home-based or written work assignments, messages and fast financial information will offer new rewards. Pay close attention to how yesterday's instructions no longer apply. Creative expansion, revised rules and fresh ideas will bring fast, definitive results. After Sunday offer comfort to a discouraged friend. Family stress may be high.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Late Tuesday a new home atmosphere and appreciation of financial accomplishments arrives. Over the next few weeks family security, work ambition, home renovations or long-term family plans will all offer concrete rewards. Cancerians born in July may also encounter a quick financial windfall or loan. Use resources wisely, however. New career routes or investments are promising but may also be complicated by rare family disagreements.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Over the next few days quick home changes or a new workplace role may trigger serious discussions. Beginning late Tuesday, and lasting over the next five weeks, many Leos will adopt a more confident approach to home and business relationships. Recent feelings of isolation or mistrust will now fade. This is an excellent time to plan new career paths and complex home renovations. After Saturday enjoy social and family gatherings: All is well.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Before Wednesday watch for the arrival of a new romantic interest and compelling workplace ambitions. Over the next five weeks social and business vitality will steadily climb. Expect past stalemates between colleagues or loved ones to fade. For many Virgos this
period of heightened awareness will bring positive romantic commitments and an end to political triangles at work. Later this week dreams or intuitions will be vivid; expect powerful insights and breakthroughs.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Late Monday a delightful atmosphere of nostalgia and past reflection arrives in all key relationships. Over the next few weeks expect romantic sentiments to increase and loved ones to be expressive or openly supportive. For many Librans short-term love affairs will now steadily evolve into new commitments and shared home plans. Let loved ones know your needs. Before early August revised emotional boundaries and more intimate romantic roles will be necessary.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Social enjoyment is now on the rise. Over the next few weeks watch for a new circle of friends to demand attention. For many Scorpios the next four to five weeks will bring a powerful inner awareness. Relationships that are no longer productive will fade and be quickly replaced by meaningful intimacy. Watch for subtle emotional changes and expect surprising invitations. Late Friday romantic passion intensifies. Flirting and new attraction will be delightfully unavoidable.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Over the next few days watch for new social introductions to rapidly evolve into business opportunities. Over the coming four to five weeks many Sagittarians will steadily expand their social worlds and career options. Watch advertising, promotions, corporate financing or the fields of health and medicine for valuable leads. After midweek plan family outings or group events with close friends. Loved ones now need your public loyalty and emotional
attention.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20). Tuesday through Thursday long-term romance and family dynamics may be unusually revealing. At present, your ability to see to the heart of group differences or emotional triangles is extremely strong. For many Capricorns the next five weeks will bring subtle but important changes to intimate relationships. Expect loved ones to now honestly state their needs, ideas and observations. Much will change; stay alert to new home demands and unique family proposals.
Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19). Group plans and social dynamics may be complex this week. After Tuesday expect friends, teammates or colleagues to present competing opinions or suggestions. Stay detached, if possible. Others now need to settle their own plans. Later this week an intense period of social awareness and group involvement arrives. In the coming five weeks expect friends and coworkers to offer controversial ideas and proposals. Remain attentive; small details will be revealing.
Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20). Marital or long-term relationships now begin a five-week period of important progress. Expect loved ones or spouses to now gently accept new home ideas or offer added support. Astrologically, this period represents the coming together of opposing forces. Watch for a peaceful resolution in previously conflicted relationships. Later this week business disruptions and annoying financial details may be bothersome. Get extra rest: A steady focus is needed to ensure success.

Hitler's house haunts residents of Austrian town
The Associated Press
LEONDING, Austria — Word is spreading:
Hilter lived here.
leave it unidentified and use it to warehouse coffins for the nearby cemetery.
For decades, few people outside Leonding knew the Nazi dictator spent his boyhood in this picture-pretty town near the west Austrian city of Linz. In a country that is still struggling to own up to its past, Leonding would have preferred to keep its Hitler connection out of the public eye.
But this year, the house where Hitler lived for six years until age 15 was becoming a safety hazard and a decision had to be made; to renovate it or tear it down? Some in the town of 22,000 wanted the empty house designated as a memorial to infamy, while others demanded it be razed — both ideas too radical for Mayor Herbert Sperl, a self-described man of consensus.
Instead, he got the town council to approve a plan to renovate the house,
"Rededicating it for this function is one way of making sure Hitler isn't being glorified," he says.
Although renovation work already has begun, others remain opposed.
They point out that other buildings Hitler's birthplace in Braunau to the west and a school he attended in Fischlham to the south, display memorials or plaques condemning his crimes against humanity.
"I suggested that we should make it a monument, a memorial to the millions of Jews killed in the Holocaust," said Dr. Claudia Mueller-Wechselberger, a 42-year-old physician at the local hospital. "Turning the house into something it never was won't change history.
"It's time people here stopped turning away and started facing facts — Hitler lived here, among us."
Spider season brings dangers especially from the brown recluse
By Todd Smith Kansan staff writer
The summer months bring brown recluse spiders out from the darkness, and students may find themselves caught in a web of trouble.
Julie Swords, publications coordinator at University Relations, said she was bitten more than a week ago by a brown recluse spider while she was sleeping.
She said at first the bite was two tiny holes with a red circle around them. The wound expanded into a fist-sized red area with a lump.
Swords said the swelling decreased after six days.
The worst reaction from the bite was an itchy feeling all over her body, she said.
How severely people are affected by the bite depends on how their bodies reacts to the poison, said Jamel Sandidge, a University of Kansas doctoral student in ecology and evolutionary biology. A person with an allergic reaction could have a gaping wound larger than a fist. Most people just have some itchiness and skin irritation with the wound. Sandidge said.
The spider comes out to mate and hunt for food during the summer, he said. Sandidge is researching the reasons the spiders live in houses and apartments.
Swords said she took the spider to Sandidge, who was able to identify it as a brown recluse.
Sandidge said if a person was bitten by a brown recluse spider, the best way to treat it was to put ice on the bite and go directly to a doctor.
Sandidge said a doctor would monitor the bite and administer drugs if necessary.
Adam Dubinsky, Overland Park spring
Dubinsky said he called an exterminator, Haley Pest Control, 800 Comet Lane, who specialized in brown recluse spiders.
graduate, said he would see one or two brown recluse spiders a day at his house on Tennessee Street last year. He said he often found them in the shower.
He said the exterminators sprayed all around the house and put sticky traps out. Dubinsky said he had not seen any of the spiders since the exterminators came.
Jim Slough, apartment manager, said Dubinksy had called him about the spider problem, and they divided the cost of paying for the exterminator.
Sandidge said spraying for the brown recluse only gets rid of those in direct contact with the spray. The spiders walk on claws and do not make direct contact with the ground, he said.
Linda Wood, office manager of Advantage Termite and Pest Control, Inc., 850 E. 13th St. Suite B, said the company sprayed for the spiders, but could not guarantee it would get rid of them.
The easiest way for a person to identify the spider is to look for a violin shape on the front part of its body. However, Sandidge said the absence of the mark on a spider didn't exclude it from being a brown recluse. He said the shape was not always found on the spider, and juvenile spiders did not have the mark at all.
More information about the brown recluse spider and Sandgidge's research can be found on his Web site at http://people.ku.edu/-spidermn/reclusecommunity/recluseproject.html.

COMMUNITY TRADITION
Lawrence gears up for sidewalk sale
By Lauren Beatty Kansan staff writer
Bargain-hunters should tie on some comfy shoes and get ready to exercise their wallets because the annual downtown Lawrence sidewalk sale starts this week.
Melodie Christal, co-director of Downtown Lawrence, Inc., said the sidewalk sale was an annual event on Massachusetts Street where merchants offered big savings to customers. The sale takes place all day Thursday.
This year marks the 31st anniversary of the sale, Christal said. The sale continued every year for the same reason it started, she said.
"Merchants needed to get rid of stuff and summer tends to be slower because KU is not in session."Christal said.
Christal said Massachusetts Street would be flooded with 20,000 to 25,000 people Thursday, which was typical in previous years.
Joe Flannery, president of Weaver's Department Store, 901 Massachusetts
... Massachusetts street would be flooded with 20,000 to 25,000 people Thursday which was typical in previous years.
St., said his store had participated in the sidewalk sale since its beginning.
Flannery said besides summer clearance clothes and shoes, back to school items like sheets and towels would be on sale at Weaver's.
Rachel Moses, Great Bend junior, said she had never been to the sidewalk sale, but would go this year.
"I want to get some good deals," she said.
Shoppers will be greeted with a hot sunny day. The National Weather Service predicts Thursday to be clear with a high temperature of 92 degrees.

GTAC, University reach agreement
After nearly two years of tumultuous negotiations, 900 graduate teaching assistants at the University of Kansas will get a new salary contract.
University officials proposed the salary plan yesterday to the Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition, said Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations. After about an hour and half of discussion, GTAC tentatively accepted the proposal.
The proposal calls for a GTA base salary that would start at $8,000 the first year, and then increase to $9,000 the second year and $10,000 the third year. Previously, there was no minimum salary for GTAs. In addition, the University proposed a 10 percent yearly increase to the salary pool. Bretz said.
Bretz said the University paid roughly $10 million for GTA's salaries now. She said the new contract would mean roughly an extra $1 million would be going toward the salaries. By the end of year three, about $13 million would be allocated for GTA salaries.
She said the exact dollar amount of the increase for next year wouldn't be known until the University was done hiring GTAs for the fall semester.
Robert Vodicka, negotiator for the coalition, said the new contract would likely give each GTA an increase in salary,
but was not an across-the-board raise.
"It doesn't work the same for all people," he said. "It puts in place a minimum salary for the first time and additional money is given to departments for merit increases."
The 200 members of the coalition and the Board of Regents will likely ratify the proposal in September, Vodicka said.
The two sides had been unable to reach a compromise for 22 months about GTA salaries. Bretz said the University could make the proposal only once the tuition increase had been finalized. When the tuition increase was approved by the Board of Regents in June, the University was eager to settle the dispute.
Vodicka credits the agreement to the hard work of GTAC.
"We're the only group getting a raise," he said. "Unions can be powerful."
Amy Cummins, graduate teaching assistant in English and graduate senator, said the proposal was a step in the right direction and would be a building block for the future.
"The quality of instruction that GTAs provide is very high," she said. "We play an integral part in an undergraduates education."

Former KU track coach promotes change for student athletes
After 30 years of voicing his opinions to the NCAA, Bob Timmons, former track coach at the University of Kansas, has sent a proposal to college presidents. It's a bill of rights for student athletes. The bill of rights is designed to protect student athletes, who Timmons said had no voice in NCAA decisions.
Timmons' 64-page proposal explains to the presidents of NCAA member institutions what Timmons thinks are injustices to innocent student athletes. The bill of rights covers a large range of issues from athletic opportunity to safety.
By Jay Pilgreen Kansan staff writer
Though Timmons said every right he proposed was equal in importance, some addressed more unjust issues than others.
Foremost among these issues is a well-intentioned law that Timmons sees as detrimental to some student athletes. Timmons said men's non-revenue sports had been canceled at many schools because of misinterpretations of Title IX, which stated that the level of opportunity for men and women student athletes had to be proportionate to the institution's enrollment.
Timmons said that while the 1972 educational amendment had aided women in the past, it limited male student athletes' opportunities because presidents would cancel men's athletic programs to remain compliant with the amendment.
Timmons said the NCAA was guilty of other injustices, especially the philosophy of group punishment used by the NCAA. He said though all student athletes were required to follow NCAA rules, innocent student athletes should not be punished for wrongdoings by other members of the team or institution.
Timmons said athletes who were capable should be given the opportunity to compete men and women. He said the NCAA was not guilty of
The University experienced such a cut in March 2001, when former athletics director Bob Frederick cut the men's swimming, diving and tennis teams.
The largest misdeed to student athletes is the inability to compete in postseason competition when they have done nothing wrong, Timmons said. He said the NCAA had previously banned all sports from postseason play at some universities for infractions committed by one sport.

BILL OF RIGHTS
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4
The NCAA prevented 10 sports programs from postseason competition at Indiana University for football recruiting violations in 1960.
"I realized that one of the biggest problems of all is a penalty system that punishes innocent student athletes," Timmons said. "That predominated things until I realized that it's not just the penalty system, there were a lot of other things involved that really needed to be changed."
Timmons said most injustices occurred because student athletes didn't have the opportunity to voice themselves to the NCAA. He said student athletes had limited access to NCAA leadership, which prevented student athletes from effecting real change. He said coaches needed a bigger voice as well.
"Student athletes and coaches are not members of the NCAA, the institution is," Timmons said. "They're in a position where they can't do much about rules and policies and planning, although for them it is getting better."
He said he was referring to the NCAA Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, established in 1989. The program grew from 28 members in an association-wide committee to 79 members in three separate Division I, II and III committees in 1997.
Timmons said coaches and student athletes should have a bigger collective voice because they were the people personally affected by problems.
Timmons proposed eight more student athlete rights, ranging from problems he had seen since 1964 at the University. Tim-
mons recommends a national level of safety for dangerous sports, a right to practice longer than allowed for outside competitions like the Olympics, a right to quick decisions on infractions and, on a larger scale, every right all other students at a university receive.
Timmons said he respected the work of the NCAA and that without it intercollegiate competitions would not be possible but the NCAA could do more to protect student athletes. Timmons said the mission of the NCAA should be to educate and protect the student athletes at member colleges.
Timmons said the bill of rights was a proposal for the NCAA to examine more fully. He said he didn't want his proposal to be taken verbatim and didn't expect a phone call from any college presidents. He sent the proposal to every Division I, II and III school two weeks ago. He said he wanted presidents to look at his proposal and, if enough agreed with it, he would take it to the NCAA for a vote.
"My hope is that there will be enough schools that would decide to present this for a vote of the NCAA presidents, or whoever makes the decision," he said
Several chancellors and Presidents in the Big 12 had no comment or were unavailable for comment. Chancellor Hemenway was unavailable for comment.
Timmons started coaching for the University in 1964, and became head coach in 1965. He continued his career until 1988, when he retired. Now, Timmons works at Rim Rock Farm, the location of the University's cross country course.

Workers continue repairs on Memorial Drive Tuesday morning. Years of erosion near the hillside road caused buckling beneath the concrete.
Crews work to improve Memorial Drive
By Todd Smith Kansan staff writer
Construction at the west end of Memorial Drive has blocked traffic since the beginning of the month, but the hassle is nearing its end.
Maintenance crews are replacing the road and its base and adding a new drainage system. The crews are repairing damage caused by age and erosion.
Greg Wade, landscape architect of design and construction management at the University of Kansas, said the street had been closed from West Campus Road to the west end of Snow Hall, south of Memorial Stadium.
"This section of the road has been deteriorating for several years because it is on the side of the hill and it has been subject to buckling and cracking," Wade said.
Wade said the project was funded by Legislative funding. The entire project costs $250,000.
He said there were plans to do renovations on all of Memorial Drive.
Wade said he expected the current project to be completed by Aug. 18.
Jim Modig, director of design and construction management, said $200,000 had been allocated for the section that
spanned the area behind Snow Hall for nextyear.
He said construction would start on this section after commencement next year and be finished by the fall semester of 2003.
He said the funding came in increments after the Legislature approved the Educational Building Fund each year.
"This is the way the funding comes and this is the way we will make improvements," Modig said.
Wade said parking along the south side would change from parallel spaces to regular 90-degree spaces. Parking will be eliminated along the north side of the street because of the expansion, Wade said.
Parking along Memorial Drive will continue to be accessible from the east end where it meets Mississippi Street. The parking lot behind Carruth-O'Leary Hall is still accessible from the West Campus Road entrance.
Wade said repairs would begin at the other end of Memorial Drive once the funds became available.

Task force looks to increase visibility of student services
By Lauren Beatty Kansan staff writer
A task force at the University of Kansas is searching for better ways to offer services to students, but changes won't take place for at least a year.
Kathryn Tuttle, director of the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center and member of the task force, said the group was looking at ways to restructure links between all student services, including the office of student affairs.
A survey issued by the task force found that only 17 percent of faculty, staff and graduate teaching assistants surveyed thought students were informed about the services available to them.
"We realize that communication is one of our challenges," Tuttle said. "One focus of the committee was to look for ways to communicate to students what services are available to them."
In a report to the provost, the task force called for a restructuring of student services with one "vice provost for student services" in charge of all student life organizations, like Counseling and Psychological Services and the Emily Taylor Womens Resource Center and all academic services like the Writing Center and Career and Employment Services.
Career and Employment Provost David Shulenburger said changes were necessary because of the
retirement of the current vice chancellor for student affairs David Ambler.
"Dave Ambler has served in that position for 25 years so there has not been a comprehensive look at the organization," Shulenberger said. "Now is the time to take a look."
Shulenberger said many changes could be expected, including a new tie between the office of admissions and the office of student financial aid.
"It probably couldn't be said that we have a comprehensive service," he said. "A number of students fall through the cracks because of the way we are organized"he said.
Mary Lee Hummert, professor of communication studies, will take over Ambler's job Aug. 1. During her time as interim vice chancellor for student affairs, much of the restructuring would take place, Shulenberger said.
"The general thrust will be toward consolidating student support services under the vice provost and a number of things will be added to that position," he said. "There will be a number of changes during the next year. I'd like to have the bulk of the reorganization done by the time we select the person for the new position."

NYC mayor attends ceremony for WTC victims, families
NEW YORK (AP) Workers and victims' family members gathered Monday at a Staten Island landfill to mark the end of a grueling and emotional 10 months for the search of human remains from the collapsed World Trade Center.
"We see the best and the worst," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said, standing a few feet from a heaping mound of debris at the Fresh Kills landfill. "We are here because of the worst of humanity, the terrorists who caused so many deaths and so much pain."
"We will not forget 2,800 people who died ... to make this the best country in the world," said Bloomberg, who also praised the recovery workers for helping "to give us some closure."
Just before the start of the ceremony, Bloomberg shook hands with and kissed some of the victims' family members.
He told one woman who lost a loved one on Sept. 11: "What I always do is I think about my own kids, if I lost them. I don't know what I would do. Twenty-eight hundred people died for this country. What we have is their memories."
John Tedesco, a firefighter from Engine 9 in Manhattan, N.Y., who sifted through the debris with hundreds of other firefighters, police officers and sanitation workers, was philosophical about finishing up the work.
"It has to end sooner or later. You can't keep going on. There has to be a stopping point, but there will never be closure because so many people haven't been found."
John Tedesco NY firefighter
The landfill became the final stop for debris after Sept. 11 as trucks and barges began hauling rubble from the World Trade Center to be sifted one last time for remains, personal property and criminal evidence.

COSTARICA
2 men arrested in student's death
SANJOSE, Costa Rica (AP) Police arrested two men suspected of participating in the killing of an American student last year, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Luis Alberto Castro and Rafael Zumbado were taken into custody on Monday in Golffift, 190 miles south of San Jose.
prosecutor Erick Martinez said.
They are suspected of participating in the death of Shannon Martin, who was fatally stabbed May 13, 2001, as she walked home from a disco in Golfito. The 23-year-old from Topeka was in Costa Rica finishing a research project on
Martin
ferns, and her death came seven days before she was scheduled to graduate with honors from the University of Kansas.
Another suspect, Kattia Cruz, was arrested in November and accused of carrying out the killing.
Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations, said the school was hopeful the arrests would result in charges and convictions in the slaving.
"The University and Shannon's friends and family have waited a long time for these arrests to occur. We thank the Costa Rican government and law enforcement authorities for their persistent and vigilant pursuit of justice in this senseless killing."
Martinez said the two men were suspected from the beginning,but officials were unable to gather enough evidence against them until now.
"We hope with this we can close the case." Martinez said.
All three have been charged with homicide and face 20 to 35 years in jail, he said.
Cruz had told prosecutors that Castro and Zumbado stabbed Martin to death, but the two men have blamed the killing on Cruz. Martinez said.
The motive was unclear, but police have ruled out robbery and sexual assault.
Martinez said the trial could begin in the next few months.
Imposter's concert leads to crowd, police injuries
STATE NEWS
DODGECITY (AP) — Thirteen people and three law enforcement officers suffered minor injuries in a disturbance during a weekend concert at an arena.
Tom Bos, Dodge City's deputy police chief, said concert-goers who paid $20 for their seats inside Roundup Arena became upset Sunday when they realized they weren't seeing the performer they expected — Tejano musician Pedro Fernandez.
Instead, they were being entertained by an unidentified Colorado man posing as Fernandez, and a poor lip-synching rendition of his songs. The concert was organized by a Denver promoter, authorities said.
"Some of the folks in the crowd recognized that the Pedro Fernandez on the stage wasn't the actual Pedro Fernandez," Bos said. "The crowd got disturbed, got a little rowdy and began moving closer to the stage."
Law enforcement officials from Dodge City were out-manned, Bos said, and called in reinforcements from the Ford County Sheriff's Department, the Kansas Highway Patrol and from as far away as Pratt County.
"Eventually, we had to pepper spray the crowd to disperse it." Bos said.
As a result of the pepper spray, 13
people in the crowd were treated on the scene by emergency medical crews, and Bos said one required hospital treatment.
Officer fired after apparent DWI accident
EDWARDSVILLE (AP)—A police officer and member of the FBI drug task force was fired Monday following a weekend traffic accident that occurred when he was apparently driving while intoxicated, Edwardsville Police Chief John Ellison said.
He said that Sgt. Jim Marble was off-duty Friday night when his vehicle rearended a tractor-trailer that had stopped to make a turn on Kansas 32 just inside the Edwardsville city limits.
The truck driver was not injured. Marble was treated at a hospital for minor injuries.
Ellison said Marble was driving a vehicle issued through the FBI drug task force. He said Marble, in his mid 30s, joined the Edwardsville Police Department about five years ago after working previously as a law enforcement officer in Dodge City.
The Kansas Highway Patrol investigated the wreck, and Ellison said he did not know whether Marble was cited. The trooper who handled the accident could not be reached Monday.

Potter Lake's water not cause for concern
By Jay Pilgreen Kansan staff writer
Potter Lake, located just west of the Campanile, is not a place for students to take a swim or unload their jet-ski.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment included Potter Lake in its 1999 survey of 120 bodies of water in the Kansas-Lower Republican Basin. The lake is on the survey's list of impaired waters, but it was placed under low-surveillance status.
KDHE concluded in its 1999 report that Potter Lake was high in eutrophication, or that there was excessive algae growth in the lake. The report said the size of the lake, a maximum depth of 1 meter, and fertilizer used around the lake were the primary causes of the growth.
Mike Russell, director of the department of environment, health and safety, also said that the lake was not of importance and it shouldn't be considered a natural body of water.
Because of the size and limited traffic the lake receives, KDHE said Potter Lake was not a priority,and would not receive funding for treatment.
"It's a water retention pond." Russell said. "It is not intended for swimming or fishing."
The University of Kansas limited use near the lake.
Russell said fertilizer used in the vicinity of the lake caused algae growth. He
"It is a water retention pond. It is not intended for swimming or fishing."

also said storm drains and water run-offs that drain into the lake could increase the phosphorous level — the algae growth chemical in fertilizer. He said that though he could not prove it was a direct cause, he thought students might be partly responsible as well.
"When people soap the (Chi Omega) fountain, within a week you can see more algae because of the phosphorous," Russell said.
Russell said laundry detergents and soaps contained phosphorous.
KDHE will not release a full report until 2004, halfway through a ten-year plan to improve water quality throughout the state, started in 2000. The report will show if eutrophication had decreased in the five-year span, and reevaluate what could be accomplished to further increase the water quality of the lake.

Many opportunities available at Clinton Lake
By Jay Pilgreen Kansan staff writer
TG
Students who want to get outdoors this summer and early fall might find the parks and facilities surrounding Clinton Lake to have many options.
The parks and public facilities around Clinton Lake offer students and Lawrence residents the chance to hike, camp, fish, hunt and relax on the water.
For those with access to boats and who enjoy water sports, the marina offers boat ramps as well as designated ski areas within the lake. Customers can also rent boats from the marina.
The marina offers ski boats, personal watercrafts, pontoon boats, fishing boats, canoes and kayaks.
LAURIESISK/KANSAN
Jennie McDonald, Lawrence junior,
said the ski boat was the most popular. It
costs $60 per hour or $300 per day.
Summer thrill seekers test the waters at Clinton Lake. Personal watercraft rentals are one of the recreational options available at the Clinton Lake Marina.
A large portion of renters were students, she said.
McDonald said she started working at the marina this summer, and would balance her time between the marina and her teaching assistant position this fall. She said she liked the atmosphere at the marina.
"I like the people that come out here, and there's always fun stuff to do,"

McDonald said.
For those who are not waterinclined, the Eagle Bend Golf Course, open to the public, offers another option. The course is located east of the lake, on the other side of the dam.
Green fees are $10.50 for nine holes Monday through Thursday and $16 for 18 holes. Fees are $12.50 for nine holes and $18.50 for 18 holes Friday through Sunday and holidays. A golf cart is $10 per person for nine holes and $15 for 18 holes.
Bruce Rist, assistant golf professional at the course, said students regularly played the course.
Students would have to call early in the week to get a weekend tee time,but if they wanted to play during the week,a couple of days was usually enough,he said.
For students on a budget, the parks have trails for hiking.
"They can't call Friday afternoon for a Saturday morning time," Rist said. "Those are gone by Monday."
Students who like to hike and camp will find four clearly-marked trails surrounding the lake with different landscapes and camping facilities. Depending on their experience with hiking, students can walk long treks along the shore, or short jaunts through the woods.
The shortest trail is the Backwoods Nature Trail, located behind the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Visitors Center at Overlook Park. The trail is a 5/8-mile loop that has unique features marked at 14
locations.
Students with more experience can venture the South Shore/Rockhaven Trails. These trails start in Rockhaven Park and run a total of 50 miles in both directions, all near the southern shoreline of the lake.
All parks are open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
Primitive camping with a tent is available 100 feet off each trail and designated areas. Woodridge and Rockhaven Parks also have parking and campground areas for primitive camping.
For students who own campers, Bloomington Park has approximately 400 campsites, as well as a beach swimming area, sand volleyball courts, playgrounds smaller camping areas and the Clinton Museum.
The museum is open 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Saturday and Sunday.
Students who fish can do so off-shore in small lakeshore coves as well as designated areas. The Kansas Department of Wildlife stocking program enhances the population of some species. Crappie, walleye, white bass, channel catfish, largemouth bass, small-mouth bass and bluegill can all be found in the lake.
Hunters can find several waterfowl and small game, as well as deer, in areas surrounding the lake. Hunting and fishing licenses can be purchased in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers office in Clinton State Park, 872 N.1402 Rd.

Chancellor announces pre-game tailgating to continue next season
Todd Smith
Kansan staff writer
Chancellor Robert Hemenway announced July 5 that "responsible" tailgating would return this fall.
"We will continue to allow the responsible tailgating promotion, with some modifications." Hemenway said.
Football fans will again be able to drink in designated tailgating lots during the three-hour period before kickoff at home games.
"There was no rhyme or reason that this area could not be included in the designated tailgating area," Bretz said.
Bretz said she was part of a tailgating committee working to simplify the tailgating area by slightly increasing its size.
Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations, said tailgating had helped increase attendance, along with other events held with the games. The average attendance at home football games was up about 7,300 people last year, she said.
She said there was a space between lot 50, behind Carruth-O'Leary Hall, and lot 55, behind Memorial Stadium, that people would walk through and be out of the tail-gating area.
Bretz said the committee was also trying to make the boundaries clearer by adding more signs. She said the committee would
announce boundary changes in August.
Chris Keary, assistant director of public safety, said KU public safety officers informed fans that they were not within tailgating boundaries while drinking or were drinking after the allotted time period 3,217 times last year. Fans then had to pour open containers and walk to a tailgating area to continue drinking, he said.
He said that officers issued only 10 citations to fans possessing alcohol outside the tailgating area or time period last year.
A citation can result in a maximum sentence of six months in jail and a $500 fine. Officers issued only three minor in possession citations last year, Keary said, because they did not have to ask people whether they were minors; it is illegal for anyone to have an open container of alcohol on campus when tailgating is not in effect.
Minors caught in possession lose their drivers license for 30 days and can receive up to 30 days in jail and a $500 fine.
Keary said officers would be less tolerant this year because people had had a chance to learn the policies since last season. Officers will receive training from the Kansas Alcohol Beverage Control to learn more ways to detect minors.

Readership program to return for fall semester
By Jay Pilgreen Kansan staff writer
Despite its absence this summer, the student readership program will resume the first day of fall classes.
Jonathan Ng, student body president said last year's trial was a success and the program would continue in the fall without many changes.
"It provides an alternative source of getting information beyond the Kansan," Ng said. "The Kansan briefly covers national or international news, but The Kansas City Star, The New York Times, The Lawrence Journal-World and the USA Today really take those issues a lot further."
Ng said the program also added to the academic mission of the University of Kansas.
"Increased readership and increased knowledge about current events adds to the learning environment and the learning process," Ng said.
Ng said students would be able to get the same four newspapers in 24 boxes across campus, though locations might change. He said Senate would discuss current locations and how to make the program more cost-effective before the end of
the summer. Senate might use information collected about the use of each station to gauge how many papers to place in each one, Ng said.
He said Senate was also trying to get more specific newspapers for schools that would use them. He said Senate wanted to get The Wall Street Journal for the School of Business and was discussing funding.
Ng said the program did not continue this summer because summer students were not charged the student fee for the program.
Next fall the fee will decrease from $6.50 to $5 per student because of over budgeting last year.
He said he thought the program provided a good service.
Grant Jones, Prairie Village senior, said he wasn't bothered by the lack of the program this summer but looked forward to it next semester. He said he usually picked up The Kansas City Star and The New York Times when he was on campus.
"I like to read about what's going on in Kansas City and the rest of the world," Jones said. "The Kansan doesn't really cover that stuff."

Outgoing dean looks toward new job
By Lauren Beatty
Kansan staff writer
The prospect of new challenges has always motivated Deborah Powell. And as the new dean of the University of Minnesota's medical school, Powell will have plenty of challenges to keep her busy.
Powell, executive dean of the University of Kansas Medical Center, accepted the new position July 2. She said taking the job at Minnesota was an exciting move because Minnesota's medical school consisted of seven interdisciplinary programs and several teaching hospitals.
"In a sense, they are the same kind of job, but the scale of the institution is much larger." Powell said.
Frank Cerra, senior vice president for health sciences at the University of Minnesota, said in a press release he was pleased to have Powell join the staff.
"Dr. Powell has the experience, vision leadership, and maturity of judgment critical for this medical school to reach its next level," Cerra said. "She is a highly respected and nationally known physician, scientist and academician. I believe Dr. Powell's strengths and style will enhance the strong leadership and faculty of the Medical School and the Academic Health Center."
Powell said she became interested in medicine after ruling out a far more glamorous career.
"After I decided I didn't want to be an
opera singer because I can't sing, I decided on medicine pretty early on. Powell said.
After doing hospital volunteer work in high school, Powell earned a bachelor's degree from Radcliffe College at Harvard University and an M.D. from Tufts University.
She began her professional career at Georgetown University and worked for 20 years at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine before coming to the University of Kansas in 1997.
Powell will begin work at Minnesota in October. She will the be the first female dean of the medical school at Minnesota.
Powell said she hoped more women would follow in her footsteps by taking on leadership positions in medicine, despite the hard work the jobs sometimes required.
Another woman will replace Powell at the Medical Center. Officials appointed Barbara Atkinson, professor and chairwoman of the department of pathology and laboratory medicine, as the new executive dean.

University follows national trend of more female graduates
By Lauren Beatty
Kansan staff writer
When Kate Livgren, Berryton junior, takes her graduation walk down the hill in a few semesters, she will join the ranks of a growing number of female college graduates.
The U.S. Department of Education reported that 698,000 women earned bachelor's degrees last year. That number is 169,000 more than the 529,000 men who earned bachelor's degrees last year.
Livgren said it was a "personal desire" that spurred her on to pursue a college degree and that more women should pursue higher education.
"No longer are women wanting to get married, have kids and put on an aprun," she said.
Eric Stocks, Lawrence graduate student, said he thought more women graduated from college because more women were going to college in the first place.
The University of Kansas follows the trend. Virginia Nichols, statistical and information officer at the Institutional Research and Planning Office, said female graduates have outnumbered male graduates since 1995. Last year, 1,924 females earned bachelor's degrees at the Lawrence campus compared with 1,593 males.
"Stereotypes are over," Stocks said. "Our culture is providing new roles and more opportunities for women when they
CAMPUS NEWS New vice provost named
Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett was named the senior vice provost for academic affairs.
She will continue to serve as the chief deputy to David Shulenburger, executive vice chancellor and provost.
"Kathleen has extraordinary talent, which she has demonstrated in her roles as a department chair, associated provost and interim dean at KU," Shulenburger said in a statement.
Her primary responsibilities include coordination of the curriculum, policy development, and involvement of undergraduates in research and service learning.
She has served this past year as the interim dean of liberal arts and sciences at the University of Kansas. She will take the new title July 15.

get out of college."
— Lauren Beatty
The number of women entering college is on the rise. Females outnumbered males at the University for the first time in 1988 when 13,074 females enrolled and 12,964 males enrolled. During the 2000-2001 school year, the number of female students increased to 13,527 but the number of male students decreased to 12,255.
Ann Cudd, chairwoman of the department of womens studies, said more women began entering college in the 1970s when many traditionally male-only schools became coed.
"That sent a serious message to girls and women that they were going to be able to compete with men in colleges," she said.
"Women have to have a higher educational level to get the same salary as men," Cudd said.
Cudd said she thought the number of female graduates was higher because females tended to outperform their male counterparts in high school and in some college classes. She said economics also played a part.
"It's a bad thing for a nation to let any group fall behind," Cudd said.
Cudd said while it was a good thing more women were going to college and graduating,it was important not to let men think they were being left in the wake.

Art exhibit showcases animals and insects
Todd Smith
Kansan staff writer
The art of nature comes to the Spencer Museum of Art.
The latest exhibit, Fish, Flowers and Flying Things: Nature at the Spencer Museum, is on display in the Kress and South Balcony Galleries and runs July 20 through Sept.1.
Joe Lampo, assistant to the museum director, said the exhibit was in conjunction with the Guild of Natural Science Illustrators, which was having a conference in Lawrence from Aug. 4 to Aug. 9.
Sara Taliaferro, chair of the conference, said they approached the museum about having the exhibit held in conjunction with the conference.
Lampo said the museum curators agreed that it was a good idea.
They worked as wildlife artists or illustrated textbooks and scientific journals, she said.
*Taliafero* said the illustrators' worked in a variety of fields from botany to astronomy.
Taliaferro said they were interested in coming to Lawrence because the Allen Press, Inc. in Lawrence printed many scientific journals illustrated by members of the guild.
Lampo organized the show of artwork depicting fish, amphibians, reptiles, plants, mammals, birds and insects. The art is by American, European and Asian
artists and craftsmen from the 12th century to the present.
He said many of the works came from the museum's original benefactor, Sallie Casey Thaver, in the early 20th century.
"She gave 7,000 objects to the University of Kansas in the late 1920's for the purpose of the University starting the art museum." he said.
He said some of Thayer's objects that will be displayed were an 18th century English cauliflower teapot, a pair of dolphin pressed-glass candlesticks and a Japanese "netsuke," or miniature sculptures. in the form of animals.
He said the exhibit included decorated snuff bottles made during the 18th and 19th centuries in China.
Snuff was powdered tobacco that sometimes had aromatic substances added to it to gave it a different flavor, he said. Each snuff bottle had a small spoon, Lampo said.
Lampo said that Europeans brought the tradition of using snuff to China.
CONTRIBUTED ART
"The spoon would take the snuff out of the bottle and then it would be plugged in the nose." he said.
She said in addition to the exhibit at the museum there were two other exhibits held in conjunction with the conference.
Watercolor moth paintings by John
The Lawrence Public Library had an exhibit called Watercolor Studies of Insects and Moths. Taliaferro said.
Cody of Hays and watercolors of mostly beetles and other insects by Gilles Bosquet of Paris were on display, she said.
This exhibit will be on display from July 1 to Aug. 9.
Then from Aug. 3 through Sept. 30, the KU Museum of Natural History hosted the

Professors: learn from big business' mistakes
By Matt Norton Kansan staff writer
As the U.S. government tries to determine the scope of the crises that have rocked Enron and Worldcom this year, two University of Kansas professors are teaching their students to look at the issues with a critical eye.
Both professors said they thought the fallout from these scandals would not include much new regulation of businesses or their accounting firms.
Michael Ettredge, associate professor of business, said that problems with accounting practices was not a new phenomenon in the financial industry. Because cases tend to come in groups, the public panics especially when the economy is struggling he said
Ettridge said that the combination of rising pressure to maintain profit growth in the face of a sluggish economy and the relative lack of oversight from financial institutions and the government provides businesses the opportunity to commit fraud.
He said he doubted that the Securities and Exchange Commission had the resources needed to closely monitor all of the companies publicly traded in the United States.
"We could reduce street crime by literally putting a cop on every street corner, but how much would that cost?" he said. "The same thing is true in the realm of
Matt Glavin, Overland Park senior in finance, said he had concerns about the recent scandals as he looked for a job upon graduation in December.
Ettredge said he taught his MBA students to be skeptical of financial reporting so that they could be aware of potential problems.
Glavin said he had hoped for a job as a consultant with one of the major accounting firms in the country, such as Deloitte & Touche or KPMG, which has offices in Kansas City, Mo. He said he now doubted whether he could get a job with one of those firms because of the general panic within the industry.
"They're probably not going to be able to detect a fraud, but at least they're going to probably have some idea of what firms to be suspicious of because there are so many red flags," Ettredge said.
Glavin said that he also doubted whether the Bush administration could patrol the financial reporting industry. He said he thought there were still a lot of firms engaging in illegal accounting practices, but to catch these firms the government would first have to fully bring the problem out into the open.
financial reporting. There's only so much enforcement we want to pay for."
"If they were going to be effective, things would have to get worse before they get better." Glavin said.

KU Business school doesn't require ethics course
Recent accounting scandals like Enron and WorldCom have brought illegal business practices and ethics into the public eye.
But the University of Kansas does not require business students to take a business ethics course.
Bill Fuerst, dean of business, said students could take a business ethics course as an elective and that a master's degree in business administration required a half-credit business ethics course.
Fuerst said the business school had reviewed its undergraduate curriculum and thought it did a good job addressing the issue of ethics.
"A good number of our classes have coverage of ethics in them," he said.
Some business schools offer ethics courses, but many of the schools do not require students to take them, he said.
Only two schools from the Big 12 Conference, the University of Colorado and Iowa State University, require undergraduate business students to take a business ethics course.
CONTINUED ON PAGE 19
Donald Heider-Markel, assistant professor of political science, said that people in the Bush administration, as well as leaders in the Democratic Party, had ties to the business community. Because of these ties, it is unlikely that the government will make many changes to the law regarding regulation of the financial industry, he said.
"It's not like they're going to run around beating up on their friends," Heider-Markel said. "At the same time, the Democrats in Congress clearly want to make this

But beyond what the administration might do, Heider-Markel said he thought many Americans had become accustomed to dishonesty in business and politics.
a campaign issue for the fall, and the administration can not be seen as not doing anything."
With more people invested in retirement programs like 401k s, there might be more attention paid to this crisis. Heider-Markel said, but probably not enough to make a big impact on the fall elections.

"I think it might give the Democrats somewhat of an advantage on that particular issue, but with this balance of the war on terrorism which the Republicans have, it's likely going to wash out," he said.
Likewise, the students who HeiderMarkel comes in contact with are more conservative than in the past, he said, and were unlikely to endorse a wave of new regulation of financial institutions.
This summer, he co-teaches a class called Politics in Literature. The class is reading a science-fiction novel that depicts a future 50 years from now that, because of abuses by wealthy business people, has eliminated all barriers to
accessing information.
He said the class was talking about the incremental change that could lead from the current state of affairs to a world where there was no secret information.
"How do we put a stop to that?" Heider-Markel asked. "Maybe we put a stop to it by forcing companies to provide more information than they have in the past."
But he agreed with Ettredge that using the government to do so would be difficult or possibly undesirable.
"We'd constantly be checking accounting records, et cetera," he said. "Or, (what if) we had all of this information public all the time, say on the World Wide Web?"

BUSINESS NEWS Intel to cut 4,000 jobs
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Intel Corp., the chip-making giant that has managed to avoid mass layoffs during the technology downturn, said Tuesday it is cutting 4,000 jobs, or nearly 5 percent of its work force.
The move came after the Silicon Valley company posted lower-than-expected second-quarter earnings.
Intel attributed the job cuts to weak demand for the chips that power personal computers.
"We haven't seen an economic
recovery in our business yet," said Andy Bryant, chief financial officer. "We want to be cautious in our spending."
Most of the cuts would be made through attrition, Bryant said.
The world's largest semiconductor company had 83,000 employees worldwide at the end of the first quarter, down from 86,000 at the end of 2000.
Unlike other high-tech companies during the past year, Intel escaped large-scale layoffs and instead cut discretionary spending and postponed raises. Last year, however, the company said it was cutting 5,000 jobs, mostly through attrition.
KU BUSINESS SCHOOL
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18
Joe Reitz, co-director of the KU International Center for Ethics in Business, teaches two ethics classes a year--Ethics and Values in Business, an undergraduate course, and Business Ethics, a graduate course.
He said the business school faculty incorporated discussions on business ethics in their classes, but he specifically worked with students on ethics.
Reitz said he had been teaching business ethics for 20 years and had plenty of cases for his students to learn from. Last year they were looking at Firestone and Ford.
"It is an easy class to teach because there is always some scandal going on," he said.
Reitz had 20 students enrolled in his undergraduate course last year and seven in his graduate course.
Reitz said he tried to help students understand that the most successful business people behave ethically.
"I don't want them to have any impression that they have to cheat to succeed, because they don't," he said.
He said in his ethics courses last semester they discussed the Arthur Andersen and Enron case and how these companies did things that led to their collapse.
Reitz said he tried to convince students that they should have a personal ethical code. That way they would not be manipulated into doing something they would be ashamed of or risk being convicted of a crime.
David Marker, Topeka doctoral stu
dent in business, said he had taken Business Ethics at KU and thought that business students should take a course on ethics.
"I don't hold this view because of current scandals and revelations of the corrupt practices of some businesses," Marker said. "Business students should be

prepared for business ethics no matter what the circumstances."
Marker said in business and in life some people would try to take advantage of others. Business people were not different from others, he said.
"Moral judgment does not develop solely from teaching in school, it is the result of upbringing as well as education," Marker said.
Reitz said the main problem with
large corporations was that business executives thought they were different and could play by different rules.
He said he thought the Securities and Exchange Commission would set forth rules and put strong pressure on the accounting profession to change some of the ways they did things.

New coaches, KU welcomes you
The fall semester brings thousands of new faces to the University of Kansas as incoming freshmen, transfer students and new faculty members discover the joys of Mount Oread.
Three of these newcomers to the University will have a little higher profile and a heavier weight on their shoulders than most - Kansas football coach Mark Mangino, baseball coach Ritch Price and women's golf coach Megan Menzel.
COMMENTARY
The Jayhawks' new coach has the right pedigree, though, having spent eight years as an assistant coach at Kansas State University. He also served as Oklahoma's assistant head coach/offensive coordinator as well as offensive line coach for the past three seasons and helped guide the Sooners to the national championship in 2000.
Better offensive production will be a paramount concern for Mangino this season, as the Jayhawks scored just 182 points in last year's 3-8 campaign. The Kansas defense needs to step it up, too, after allowing 398 points and holding just one opponent to fewer than two touchdowns.
women's gon coach Muglan Mangino will have the hardest task, trying to turn around a program that hasn't reached the postseason since the 1996 Aloha Bowl and has yet to win more than three Big 12 Conference games in a season.
With Mangino's impressive resume, the likelihood of the Jayhawks running draw plays on third-and-long or rushing the ball without a fullback is virtually nil, meaning Kansas fans can expect a much more competitive squad within the confines of Memorial Stadium this year.
Even with a new coach, the football team will probably take at least a couple years before showing major improvements, which is about the timetable Price should expect with the baseball team.
Hired because of his Division I coaching experience, Price spent the past eight years at Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo and won 30 games in each of the last three seasons.
He won't be able to pick up that many victories in his first year with the Jayhawks - back-to-back cellar dwellers in the Big

12-but he may bring a new energy to the team just by showing up. That could result in a few extra conference wins and push the Jayhawks into the conference tournament for the first time if everything falls together.
Speaking of last-place finishes, that's what the Kansas women's golf team had in last year's Big 12 Championships. On a positive note, that means there's nowhere for Menzel to take the team but up.
On a realistic note, it will take a lot of work for the Jayhawks to finish much higher this year. Kansas finished 80 strokes behind conference champion Oklahoma State and 20 strokes behind 11th place Colorado.
The good news for Menzel, who led Colorado State to back-to-back regionals the past two years, is there were no seniors on last year's squad. Everyone is back and should be eager to improve the team's conference rank.
The Kansas swimming and diving team will have a new head coach as well, as Cathy Burgess stepped down after two years to take a job in her hometown of Hickory, N.C.
Burgess will be missed, but most of last year's team is returning. Also, with 10 swimmers in town to practice during the summer, the team should be in great shape for Burgess' replacement.
for Burgess replacement.
Whoever that may be, he or she will have plenty of company as a first-year coach at the University, but will be the only one whose team finished last year with a winning record. If Kansas fans are lucky, it won't be that way for long.

KU hires new women's golf coach
Matt Norton
Kansan staff writer
The women's golf team has looked to Colorado State University for help with next season.
Megan Menzel was named the University of Kansas women's golf coach on July 5 by athletics director Al Bohl.
Menzel was the golf coach at CSU the last two seasons and led the Rams to consecutive appearances in the NCAA regionals.
"I'm thrilled to be a Jayhawk, and I'm looking forward to becoming a part of Kansas' outstanding tradition," Menzel said.
The team won three invitational tournaments during her tenure and set the school record for scoring average last season with an average of 82.8. Last year, KU's average was 82.57.
"I am confident that Megan Menzel has the experience and leadership skills to move the women's golf program at the University of Kansas forward in a positive fashion." Bohl said.
Menzel replaces Nicole Hollingsworth, who coached the team from 1999 to 2002 but was fired by Bohl at the end of last season. The Jayhawks finished last in the Big 12 Conference Tournament each of the past three years.

In addition to recruiting and developing Colorado State's first Mountain West Conference individual champion, Lynette Duran, Menzel's teams also performed well in the classroom. The team recorded the highest grade point average as a team in the entire Ram athletics department the past two years, and three golfers were named to the conference all-academic team in 2001.
Before leading the Rams, Menzel was coach at Boise State University during the 1998-1999 season. She was an assistant golf professional at the Shadow Valley Golf Course in Boise, Idaho, before taking over at Boise State.
Menzel was a three-year captain at the University of New Mexico, where she competed from 1994 to1997. The Lobos won three conference titles during Menzel's career and qualified for the NCAA tournament twice.
She was the Bank of America Academic Athlete of the Year at New Mexico in 1997 and was also named to the Western Athletic Conference All-Academic team.

coach in three years. She transferred from Kent State University after a coaching change in 2001.
But after meeting Menzel, MacDonald said she was excited to work with her next season.
"Although she is young, she's very easy to talk to," MacDonald said. "But she's very focused."MacDonald said that she liked the fact that the team would spend more time playing on the course during practice than on the practice range. She said the team planned on improving its game around the greens this season.
"Most of us can get the ball around the course," MacDonald said. "But getting it in from 60 yards out is the key."

Geologist donates $1 million grant to KU, Kansas Geological Survey
By Matt Norton Kansan staff writer
With a $1 million gift to the University of Kansas and the Kansas Geological Survey, researchers may uncover new information about when people first arrived in the Americas.
The gift is from Joseph and Maude Ruth Cramer of Denver, and it will establish an endowment to fund the Odyssey Archaeological Research Fund.
The fund will help KU researchers study the geology and archaeology of the midcontinent region of North America with the hope of finding the earliest human contact in the region.
Joseph Cramer said he chose Kansas because of the reputation of the Kansas Geological Survey and because it was a logical place to study the mid-continent region.
Cramer said he had created similar endowments at the University of Arizona, Texas A&M University, the University of Nevada-Reno and Southern Methodist University to study other regions of the continent.
Lee Allison, director of the geological survey, said Rolfe Mandel, project coordinator for geoarchaeological studies at the Kansas Geological Survey, had been appointed as a temporary head of the project for the 2002-2003 school year. Because the grant is an endowment, a percentage of the fund's income that will be used for the project will not be available until next year.
The Cramers donated an additional $30,000 to get the program started this year and the provost matched that amount. Allison said.
Mandel said he would apply for the full-time post this fall.
One proposal would include a geoarchaeological field school that the program would begin advertising to students around the country this fall, Mandel said. The field school would probably rotate between various sites around Kansas, he said.
Allison said the department would be working with the geography, geology and anthropology departments as well as the Natural History Museum and the Kansas Biological Survey.
In addition to combining the talents of researchers in various disciplines on campus, Mandel said there could be an opportunity to reach out to students at other schools as well.
And while people in these departments might be working together for the first time, everyone was looking at the program as an opportunity, not a challenge, Allison said.

KU awards more than $1.7 million in tuition grants to offset increase
By Matt Norton Kansan staff writer
Many students are getting help for the rising cost of going to school at the University of Kansas.
The Office of Student Financial Aid announced this week that it had awarded more than $1.7 million in initial tuition grants for the 2002-2003 school year, the first of a program designed to help offset the tuition increase approved by the Board of Regents last month.
Brenda Maigaard, director of student financial aid, said that 3,036 undergraduates had been awarded $1,462,000 and 673 graduate students were awarded $258,000.
Maigaard said there were more qualified applicants for the grants than there were funds available, but additional money could become available as students who don't return to KU or students who receive funds from other sources return the grant funds.
Students would be informed via mail if they became eligible for the returned grants, Maigaard said. Priority will be given to students based on need and when they turned in their 2002 application for financial aid.
Many of the applicants received the full
$500 available for undergraduates or $400 available for graduate students per year, she said.
The office had processed more applications for aid by the priority deadline of March 1 than ever before, Maigaard said. She attributed the rise to the tuition increase that had been debated for nearly a year. But grants were awarded to all qualified undergraduate students whose applications were processed before April 23.
Tuition will increase this fall by $300 per semester for in-state undergraduates enrolled in 15 hours and $438 per semester for nonresident undergraduates enrolled in 15 hours.
Maigard said that more than 70 percent of the grants were awarded to Kansas residents.
Tommy Gunter, Overland Park sophomore, said he hadn't yet received his financial award statement.
He said that while he didn't need the grant to be able to attend KU, it would help alleviate the financial burden he carried by working during the school year.
"Every little bit helps," he said.

Broadway-inspired play coming to Kansas
By Todd Smith Kansan staff writer
The greatest moments from Broadway are coming to Kansas in a lullaby.
Performances by Rockette dancers and costumes made by New York City designers can be seen in the musical Lullaby of Broadway: The New Song and Dance Concert Experience.
[Image of two women performing a dance or performance, with dark background. The woman on the left is slightly blurred and appears to be singing or gesturing, while the woman on the right is smiling and looking forward.]
The musical begins a five-show run at 8 p.m. on July 20 at the Folly Theater at 12th and Central streets in downtown Kansas City, Mo. The other shows at the Folly Theater are: 3 p.m. on July 21 and 8 p.m. on July 25 and 26. The final local show will be at 7:30 p.m. on July 28 at the Topeka Performing Arts Center, 214 S.E. 8th St.
Shane Scheel, production manager for the Lullaby of Broadway, said there were musical numbers from Phantom of the Opera, Evita, Fosse, Stomp and Rent, just to name a few.
New World, which rehearsed in Lawrence before being staged at The Fox Theatre in Hutchinson two years ago.
Scheel, who attended the University of Kansas from 1993 to 1995, said he hoped they would be able to take the play on a national tour following their last performance in Topeka.
Scheel said they had been rehearsing the play in Lawrence at the Dance Academy and at the Eldridge Hotel.
Scheel had done work with the play's producer Don Hite while Hite was a musical director for a production of Songs for a
After their work together on that play, they thought Lawrence would be a fun place to bring actors, actresses and dancers from all over the country to put on a play. Scheel said.

"Lawrence provided actors a lot of time to focus since there are not so many distractions that would be found in New York City." Scheel said.
Kristen Altfather, dance captain for Lullaby of Broadway, lives in Los Angeles but performs all over the country. Altfather is a Rockette at Radio City Musical Hall in New York City.

She said she had worked with Hite before and he asked her to choreograph and work as a dance captain.
"It has been a rush and stressful and a great learning experience," she said.
"I am in charge of making sure everyone hits their mark on stage." Alffather said.
Bruns represents what many people think of as quintessential Kansas.
Bree Bruns, Oskaloosa senior, is the only local performer in the act.
She sings a song called Home from the play The Whiz, which is based on The Wizard of Oz.
Bruns worked with Scheel on a play called the The Waltz Project that played at The Fox Theatre in Hutchinson.
Bruns said this was the first time she had worked with a producer not employed by

Candidates approach $10 million in campaign funds
WASHINGTON (AP) — Several Senate candidates in high-profile races are closing in on $10 million in campaign cash for the 2002 election.
At least one candidate has exceeded that. Democratic Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, facing no Republican challenger and considering a White House run in 2004, has raised $12 million. Kerry has nearly $3.5 million on hand and could use any money left after the fall election for a presidential campaign.
Republican Elizabeth Dole has collected $8 million for her bid to succeed retiring North Carolina GOP Sen. Jesse Helms in one of several races that could decide whether Democrats keep their slim Senate majority.
GOP front-runner Dole, a former U.S. labor secretary and presidential candidate, has raised double the campaign cash of top Democratic candidate Erskine Bowles, a White House chief of staff in the Clinton administration, reports released Monday by the campaigns show.
Dole has $729,982 more on hand than Bowles has. Although North Carolina has yet to set a primary date because of a fight over redistricting. Dole has hit the airwaves aggressively, running three campaign ads across the state over the past five weeks, the only Senate candidate there to go statewide.
"It is a challenging race and people recognize that," Dole representative Mary Brown Brewer said. "We aren't sitting back and taking anything for granted."
Bowles representative Susan Lagana said Bowles is pleased with what he raised. Bowles was the first Democrat to air TV ads in the state and has hit several of the state's major media markets.
Other top fund-raisers included Democratic Sen. Robert Torricelli of New Jersey, who drew national attention as federal investigators probed his relationship with a contributor to his 1996 campaign. The investigation ended in January with no charges, but the Senate ethics committee continues to review the case.
Torricelli has raised more than $8.7 million as of June 30 for his re-election bid. He finished the month with nearly $6.1 million to spend.
Torricelli's wealthy GOP opponent,
Douglas Forrester, reported about $2 million on hand as of June 30. Forrester has lent his campaign $2.85 million since May 16, following a prior loan of $3.1 million.
As of June 30, he had raised $106,344 from
Among other closely watched Senate races:
contributors.
Democratic incumbent Max Cleland of Georgia has raised $7.6 million, about $3.6 million more than his top Republican challenger, Rep. Saxby Chambliss.
— Minnesota Sen, Paul Wellstone, a Democrat, has raised $7.5 million, about $2 million more than Republican challenger Norm Coleman, former mayor of St. Paul.
Democratic Sen. Jean Carnahan of Missouri has raised about $7 million, about $2 million more than her Republican opponent, Rep. Jim Talent.
Control of the House is also at stake this fall as Republicans seek to maintain their majority. Among incumbent matchups created by redistricting:
Connecticut Republican Rep. Nancy Johnson has raised about $2.4 million, nearly double the total of Democratic Rep. Jim Maloney.
In Pennsylvania, Democratic Rep. Tim Holden has raised $769,374, compared to $581,940 for Republican Rep. George Gekas.
— Mississippi Republican Rep. Chip Pickering has raised more than $1.6 million, topping Democratic Rep. Ronnie Shows' $984,980.
Also Monday, President Bush demolished his own record for a single-candidate fund-raising appearance.
Bush helped raise nearly $4 million for Alabama's Republican gubernatorial candidate, Rep. Bob Riley, an infusion that could catapult Riley past Democratic Gov. Don Siegelman in campaign cash.
Several Democrats considering 2004 presidential runs are raising money aggressively for this fall's election, in part through their own political action committees.
So far this year, North Carolina Sen. John Edwards' PAC has collected more than $2.7 million; Connecticut Sen. Joseph Lieberman's, nearly $1.2 million; former Vice President Al Gore's, about $825,000; House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt of Missouri's, $434,205; and Kerry's PAC,$500,000.
Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle's DASHPAC has donated the maximum to several Senate campaigns and has about $2.4 million on hand to help other Democrats.

Tom Hanks plays a flawed father in Road to Perdition. Hanks and Paul Newman play members of the 1930s Irish mob.
Hankstakes on different role in 'Road to Perdition'
CHICAGO (AP) — Tom Hanks just can't convince anyone that he is a bad man.
He knows he's only talking about Michael Sullivan, the murderous character he played in Road to Perdition, which opened Friday. But still. This movie is supposed to be his challenge to the heart-of-gold-image that follows him wherever his movies go. The idea that Sullivan is merely a Hanks hero in disguise - yet another in the long line of sweet romantics, sensitive millennial males, a wily baseball coach, a brave astronaut, a noble simpleton, a good-humored castaway, a World War II savior — is a notion he wants to dispute.
Pretty ironclad it is, as disguises go. Sullivan is an unrelenting enforcer for the Irish mob in and around Depression-era Chicago. But there is also a close brush, some would say a full-on encounter, with redemption for the hit man in his quest to save his young son.
"Heroism is totally in the eye of the beholder," Hanks said. "There are different brands, and, in this case, to what end? There is no moment in this movie when the audience leaps to its feet and cheers. 'He's done it!' There's something joyless about what happens in the last three murders; no, it's more like the last eight."
Hanks, in town to talk about the movie, stared out the window at some of the skyline's historic outcropings — the art deco Tribune Tower, the Victorian piles along LaSalle Street and the landmark Wrigley Building that served as backdrops for many of the film's violent events — as if demanding corroboration from them.
"It is," he said "the opposite of heroism."
Sullivan's wife and younger son are slaughtered by the double-crossing son of the gangster, a terrifying Paul Newman, Sullivan works for. The survivors set off across a chilly, dangerous, suddenly inhospitable Midwestern landscape, both pursued and pursuing, to seek vengeance for the deaths. "The real hero," Hanks said, "would have to be the boy, his son, if he's able to put all this behind him. Understanding that his father's way is not the way to live takes a certain fortitude and character."
But where Hanks sees implacable menace in Sullivan — Hanks and his longtime makeup artist, Daniel Striepeke, even built up his endearing ski slope of a nose into a harsh beak to enhance the impression - director Sam Mendes (American Beauty) sees a conflicted soul. In an early scene, Sullivan confronts a scummy nightclub owner over tardy kickbacks, and a death sentence is in his eyes.
"There's a combination of strength and vulnerability, a kind of pity in Sullivan's expression," said Mendes. "You sense a burden of guilt but also a rage. Those two things needed to coexist in every shot. What a great film actor can do, and Tom does it, is become a prism that throws out five colors at once."
But Mendes also believes that for Hanks, the role of a less-than-perfect father coming to terms with a reluctant, inarticulate love for his son goes beyond acting.
It was his need to follow his own road, to the past and his relationship with his father, Amos Hanks.

ENTERTAINMENT NEWS CBS keeping promises to David Letterman
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — CBS says it's delivering on the promises it made to keep David Letterman with the network, heavily promoting his "Late Show" and scheduling what it hopes will be stronger leads in the program.
"We had a very easy negotiation with David Letterman," CBS President Leslie Moonves said wryly of this spring's contentious talks with the entertainer, who considered jumping to ABC.
Letterman's representatives made specific programming demands, including scheduling the new "CSI: Miami," a spinoff of the hit drama "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," at 10 p.m., Moonves told members of the Television Critics Association on Monday.
The network responded by scheduling the show for 10 p.m. Mondays this fall, Moonves said, although its contract with Letterman didn't require it to do so.
CBS also agreed to use the resources of parent company Viacom Inc. to heavily promote the "Late Show" on MTV and other properties.
And the network clearly was trying, Moonves said, recounting a joke comedian Jon Stewart made about how often Letterman was mentioned during the network's recent broadcast of the NCAA basketball championships.
"There was so much promotion I thought Letterman was playing Duke in
the semifinals," Stewart said.
Nicole Kidman could become honorary citizen
POTIGRAFU, Romania (AP) — The mayor of this drought-strenken village has never seen a movie with Nicole Kidman, but he'd like to make her an honorary citizen.
Mayor Gheorghe Voicu calls it "a hand from heaven for the locals" that "Cold Mountain," a big-budget movie starring Kidman and Jude Law and adapted from Charles Frazier's Civil War novel, is being filmed in the village of 1,300 people.
Voicu has been busy this summer fixing up the kindergarten and village school with income earned from the Miramax MGM film.
"Cold Mountain," which began filming Monday in Potigrafu, marks Romania's entry into the market for big Hollywood movies.
Costs remain low here: The average monthly salary is just 3.3 million lei about $100—substantially lower than in the nearby Czech Republic or Hungary, which have been popular with Western filmmakers looking for low costs and stunning architecture.
Anthony Minghella, who directed the Oscar-winning "The English Patient," found the fields and virgin forests of southern Romania a perfect setting for the $80 million "Cold Mountain," which takes place in the American South.
Critics declare programs mediocre for fall TV line-up
"I've never in 22 years seen shows with less salable star power," said the Dallas Morning News' Ed Bark, one of the more
With grayness beaming from the medium they love, and few TV stars on the interview horizon, many critics seemed unenthusiastic as they assembled from all corners of a country that is tenser and more economically uncertain than anyone would have imagined when camp broke on their 2001 gathering.
The publicity-thon began July 8 with a pitch for the syndicated She Spies, and will end July 26 with PBS.
Mediocre and thuddingly familiar.
PASADENA, Calif. — The major broadcast networks began their presentations Monday at the Television Critics Association's annual summer press tour. They were facing a tough audience anxious about the economy and terrorism but more deeply disappointed by the mediocre new programs coming in the fall.
senior critics.
"Everything seems like a repeat," said Bill Goodykoontz of the Arizona Republic. He was referring to a slate of new shows that has been unanimously branded as uninspired, but he could have been riffing on the event itself, arranged mutually by the critics and the networks as the most efficient mass method for interviewing stars and executives.
The fall programs reflect the malaise.
Signally, an NBC drama called Boomtown, tales of crime in Los Angeles told from many vantage points, is the only one mentioned spontaneously, out of 37 new broadcast series, by the majority of critics as arousing interest. Summing up the opinion of the underwhelmed, Mike Duffy of the Detroit Free Press called Boomtown "incredibly pretentious, but a show that's at least trying to do something a little different."
"It doesn't even look like the networks are trying," said TV Guide's Matt Roush.
An apparent lack of effort has the critics down.
That series,starring David Caruso as the brooding evidence-analyzer and Kim Delaney as a police investigator, is the one picked by most critics for commercial success.
In addition to straight remakes (Family Affair on the WB, The Twilight Zone on UPN), the fall schedule features a pile of derivative family comedies and uninspired cop and medical shows, including one spin-off, CBS's CSI: Miami."
"The networks have done crime so long and so well that the shows are starting to look the same," said Hal Boedeker of the Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel. "It's kind of depressing."

Donahue returns to TV
NEW YORK (AP) — Phil Donahue, who hung up his microphone in 1996 after three decades on the air, returned to TV Monday with a new discussion program.
The same silver hair and the same animated but thoughtful style that distinguished him before was evident in the 66-year-old talk show pioneer.
"Well, yes, we think it's about time we got back on the air, just as I'm sure you do," said Donahue, gamely welcoming himself to MSNBC and a Secaucus, N.J., studio "larger than the room in which I had my high school prom."
"Holy cow!" he exclaimed. "Somehow a liberal got in!"
The show, Donahue, air weeknights at 8 p.m. EDT, pitting the veteran host against rival talkers Bill O'Reilly on Fox News Channel and CNN's recently acquired Connie Chung.
His first topic was whether the United States should take another shot at toppling Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, with Donahue playing ringmaster to three opposing guests.
He proved too much of a gentleman (or was he a bit rusty?) to properly officiate the debate, which was dominated by indecipherable crosstalk and had barely scratched the surface before he moved on.
Late in the show, he and sports commentator Bob Costas discussed steroid use in baseball, as well as the chances of a players strike.
"I think it will be avoided," Costas ventured, "because the stakes are too high."
But in the hour's most successful segment, Donahue sparred with MSNBC's newly recruited conservative pundit Pat Buchanan about the "under God" phrase in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Donahue defended separation of church and state as making both institutions stronger, while Buchanan called Donahue "a dictatorial liberal."
"Donahue and Buchanan take on God," the host summed up with a chuckle.
The original Donahue, which premiered Nov. 6, 1967, from Dayton, Ohio, took its host to Chicago and then New York while paving the way for dozens more syndicated talk shows from Oprah Winfrey to Jerry Springer. Losing ground in an increasingly crowded field, Donahue taped his final edition on May2, 1996.
After that, he kept a low profile other than his role campaigning for Ralph Nader during the consumer advocate's thirdparty presidential bid in 2000.
"There was never a smorgasbord of issues in my lifetime like we have now," Donahue said recently, explaining his itch to be back on TV, talking.
Dozens flee as wildfire roars through Sierra Nevada
TOPAZ LAKE, Nev. (AP) — Federal firefighting crews turned their focus on Tuesday to the Sierra Nevada, where firebreaks had been bulldozed around a housing subdivision threatened by an 8,600-acre wildfire.
U. S. Highway 395 along the mountain range was closed from Bridgeport, Calif., north to the Nevada-California state line, where hundreds of residents and staff and guests at the Topaz Lodge hotel-casino had voluntarily evacuated on Monday.
Crew chiefs estimated the fire was still only 10 percent contained and that more than 250 homes were at risk.
More than 600 firefighters, three air tankers and two National Guard helicopters were assigned to the blaze Tuesday.
A Type I fire management team from Oregon, the highest priority federal firefighting team, was scheduled to take over control of the blaze on Tuesday or Wednesday.
The blaze was given a top priority because of the number of homes nearby, said Mark Struble, a fire information officer from the Bureau of Land Management.
Wind blowing at a sustained 25 mph on Monday hampered firefighting efforts in the dry juniper, sage brush and pinon pines in the rugged mountainous area about 90 miles southeast of Reno.
"The wind is the biggest concern," spokeswoman Laura Williams said Tuesday from the Sierra Front Interagency Fire Dispatch Center in Minden, Nev." It is very low humidity. The soil moistures are at the
lowest level they have been for this time of year since Nixon was president."
The estimate of the fire's size was scaled back from 10,000 acres to 8,600 after an aerial survey. That included about 1,400 acres burned during the night, officials said.
Bulldozers had been used to dig about a 2-mile firebreak around 50 homes in the Holbrook Highlands subdivision just north of Topaz Lake.
"They are digging in for big winds expected the next day or two," Williams said.
The area around the Topaz Lodge also remained a concern. "The fire line is within a half mile from there," Williams said.
The blaze was started by lightning last week and grew 20-fold Sunday. The plume of smoke over the fire was visible in Reno, 75 miles away.
The fire cut power lines south of Lake Topaz, blacking out residents as well as the firefighters' command post at the local high school.
Sierra Pacific Power officials said it could be weeks before power is restored to all of the area.
The wildfire was just northwest of the site of a 22,750-acre fire last month near Walker, Calif., where three men died when their air tanker crashed.
Elsewhere in Nevada, a 10,000-acre fire raged unchecked on the Nevada-Uttah line.

Amateur cameraman: arrest was retaliation
Mitchell Crooks, 28, said he told Los Angeles County district attorney's investigators that he had outstanding warrants against him for 1999 convictions on drunken driving, hit-and-run driving and petty theft.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — An amateur cameraman who taped the violent arrest of a black teenager said Tuesday he believed his own arrest was retribution for not cooperating with prosecutors.
"I had no problem with anything, this whole entire situation. I just wanted to make sure I had legal counsel before I did anything," he said.
But he charged that he was arrested Thursday outside CNN television studios because he failed to willingly appear before a grand jury in the alleged police brutality case.
"I had no problem turning myself in," Crooks said in an interview on ABC's Good Morning America from a county jail in Northern California.
After his arrest, he was immediately
taken to testify before a grand jury in the alleged brutality case.
Crooks also charged he was injured during his arrest.
"I was just basically pushed around," he said. "I was squeezed. I have bruises on my body."
A message left Tuesday with the Los Angeles County district attorney's office was not immediately returned.
Crooks' July 6 video captured Inglewood Police Officer Jeremy Morse, who is white, slamming 16-year-old Donovan Jackson onto a police car and then punching him. Officers had pulled over Jackson's father, Coby Chavis, because the car's license plates had expired.
Morse, 24, has been placed on administrative leave as various agencies investigate.
Black activists have called for sweeping changes within the Inglewood Police Department, tougher legislation involving police misconduct and stiffer penalties for officers convicted of abuse.
Worldcom executive told insiders of wrongdoing
WASHINGTON (AP) — A top officer at Worldcom Inc. acknowledged to insiders last month that the company was violating accounting standards but indicated that Worldcom might fail if it reported its financial condition honestly, according to internal documents turned over to Congress.
The newest documents also included a proposal in March by former Chief Executive Bernard Ebbers to cut funding in half for audits such as the one that ultimately uncovered the company's $3.8 billion in accounting irregularities.
The documents released Monday were among boxes of materials handed over to the House Energy and Commerce Committee as part of a broad investigation into corporate wrongdoing.
"We don't think that the possibility of significant disruptions in service is imminent," he said. "We don't think the current financial troubles — even if they lead to a bankruptcy situation — will present a catastrophic situation for consumers."
Among the most sensational passages disclosed Monday were notes from a June 17 meeting among David Myers, WorldCom's comptroller, and Cynthia Cooper, an internal auditor. Responding to questions about the company's figures, Myers acknowledged that "there were no specific accounting pronouncements supporting these entries."
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Michael Powell sought Tuesday to reassure WorldCom customers that the company's financial troubles are unlikely to affect phone or Internet service.
Asked how Myers might explain such entries to the Securities and Exchange
Other documents released Monday indicated that WorldCom executives considered these accounting ploys as early as July 2000. But a July 25 e-mail to Myers and another WorldCom official determined there was "no support within the current accounting guidelines that would allow for this accounting treatment."
By June 2002, when Myers met with Cooper, the faltering economy apparently persuaded some executives to reconsider. Myers warned Cooper that without the accounting changes, "the company might as well shut its doors."
The notes from the meeting were Cooper's, according to Rep. Billy Tauzin, R-La., the committee chairman. It took place roughly one week before World-Com's public disclosures about its accounting problems.
In a second meeting, just hours later, Myers told Cooper that WorldCom "should probably not have" classified some business expenses to make it appear the company was more profitable, according to Cooper's notes. But since WorldCom had started the practice, during its second fiscal quarter in 2001, Myers told Cooper that "it was difficult to stop."
Commission, "David stated he had hoped it would not have to be explained."
Myers, who was the only person apart from chief financial officer Scott Sullivan to have direct control over WorldCom's books, resigned to avoid being fired by the company when the board learned of the massive misstatement. He could not be reached immediately for comment. Sullivan was fired last month.

Teacher accused of making bomb threat
PHILLIPSBURG (AP) — When a bomb threat turned up at Phillipsburg Junior High School on March 21, authorities didn't just evacuate the school. Surrounding businesses were emptied and traffic on a nearby highway was rerouted for the daw.
Now, a veteran teacher has been accused of making the threat and could lose her job.
Jan Johnson, a fifth-grade teacher with 26 years of experience, was arrested Friday and charged with aggravated criminal threat, according to the Phillips County sheriff's office. She made her first appearance in district court Friday afternoon and was released on $25,000 bond.
While bomb threats at schools aren't uncommon, many turn out to be student pranks. If Johnson was convicted, the hoax would take on a new level of seriousness, Phillipsburg Superintendent Bill Grimes said.
Grimes said he was not aware of any disciplinary issues with Johnson, either during her years at the junior high or local elementary school.
On the morning of March 21, a teacher — not Johnson — told Principal Rick Riffel there was a handwritten note in the girls' locker room that said, "Bomb in the building. Get out now."
The 220 students and staff were evacuated to a church, and traffic on U.S. 36 was rerouted. Nearby businesses were emptied, parents were alerted by radio of an emergency at the school and a Capitol Police officer and his bomb-sniffing dog were flown in from Topeka.
No bomb was found.
Officials haven't revealed what led their investigation to Johnson.
Newspaper sued for libel by politician it opposed
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) A criminal libel case began with a prosecutor accusing a gadfly publisher and editor of printing lies in their tabloid newspaper — and the consequence could be jail time.
Last year, Wyandotte County prosecutors charged Observer Publications Inc., publisher David Carson, and editor Edward H. Powers Jr, with 10 counts of criminal libel. If convicted, each defendant could face up to a year in jail.
Special prosecutor David Farris of Atchison County, Kan., told the sixmember jury on Monday that the editor and the publisher of The New Observer "knowingly, willfully and with reckless
disregard for the truth published lies."
The New Observer, a free publication opposed the re-election of Wyandotte County District Attorney Nick Tomasic and Unified Government Mayor Carol Marinovich. The Unified Government governs all of Wyandotte County and its largest city, Kansas City, Kan.
Most of the charges focus on claims in The New Observer that Marinovich and her husband, Wyandotte County District Court Judge Ernest Johnson, live in neighboring Johnson County.
Attorneys for the defendants couched the argument in terms of politics and the freedom to express opposing opinions.
Milestone nears for state
TOPEKA (AP) — When Kansas marks the 150th anniversary of its organization as a territory, official events will present an unvarnished look at a turbulent, sometimes bloody chapter of the state's history.
Plans for the 2004 observance are being made by a panel chaired by Judge Deanell R. Tacha, chief judge of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The nine-member Kansas Territorial Sesquicentennial Commission, appointed by Gov. Bill Graves in December, has met twice so far.
The state was organized as Kansas Territory on May 30,1854,touching off a sevenyear armed struggle between pro-slavery elements and abolitionists for control of
"I was afraid that nobody out there cared about the sesquicentennial," Tacha said recently. "There can be extreme value in such events, because we are able to reflect on our sense of place and our sense of who we are as a people — even though the word sesquicentennial is going to be tough to pronounce."
the future state. Kansas joined the union in 1861.
Tacha said commissioners envision a yearlong series of events throughout 2004, including educational events that relate to the eventual displacement of more than two dozen Indian groups who lived in Kansas at the time the territory was opened to Euro-American settlement.
