Best Buy to open in Lawrence
By Lindsey Hodel
Kansun staff writer
Talk of building a new music store in Lawrence has stirred harsh feelings among some local musicians and music store employees.
Best Buy, a music and electronics retailer, will build a new store at 31st and Iowa streets. Critics point to the new store as the latest of national chains to expand in Lawrence and potentially push out local businesses.
"I don't like Best Buy coming in anywhere." said Cory Willis, manager of Love Garden Sounds; 936 1/2 Massachusetts St., a locally-owned record store. "It's another faceless corporation that is turning Lawrence into another faceless town."
David Corliss, assistant city manager, said the company would start construction at that site next week and should be finished by next spring.
Best Buy spouseswomen Jenny Bohlasvulsa said college students made up a huge portion of Best Buy's market. Because the store's opening is not official, Bohlasvulsa declined
to comment on when the store would be opening or how the store could affect the local economy.
The corporation now has 505 locations in 47 states and plans to open 60 more stores this year.
Although Willis he did not necessarily see Best Buy as a competitive threat, he said corporate chains were hurting local businesses.
"Their CDs pull you in to buy a toaster or something else you don't need. It's gross, but it's free enterprise." Willis said.
John Kiefer, owner of Kief's music stores, said the opening of the store may serve as an advantage to his business because it will allow customers to have a direct comparison between the levels of quality for the products available.
"My customers are shopping around and most have already gone to Best Buy in Topeka or Kansas City. This will just make it easier for them." Kieler said. "Lots of people believe that big box stores offer cheaper prices, but the

University prohibits credit card solicitors
By Erin Beatty
Kansan staff writer
University of Kansas students can walk through the Unions and campus this week without facing solicitations from credit card companies as part of a new University policy.
Provost David Shulenburger announced the policy Aug. 5, which imposes a three-week ban on credit card solicitations at KU's Lawrence campus.
"The policy is important because first-time students aren't necessarily in the best position to be making financial decisions, especially when offers are being thrown in their faces," Shulenburger said. "This will give students a few weeks to settle in and adjust to the campus without credit card offers."
The distribution of credit card materials will still be allowed at Memorial Stadium and Allen Fieldhouse during athletic events. The Kansas Union Booksstore, which are private, non-profit entities, will continue including credit card applications in bags along with purchases.
Kansas State Rep. Rocky Nichols, D-Topeka, introduced anti-sollicitation proposals to the House early this year, which were discussed by a House budget subcommittee on
capped by a Proverb of education. The bill father in a higher government committee May 11, and the Board of Regents is now working on the issue.
The Regents asked the Council of State University Presidents for further discussion and recommendation on credit card solicitation and are expected to enact a permanent policy this October.
Shulenburger
"The policy will set up baseline standards and assist students in making educated choices on financial issues," said Dick Carter Jr., director for external relations for the Regents.
The Regents have discussed proposals prohibiting solicitation of credit card applications for one week before and two weeks after the first day of each semester, as well as requiring banks to hand out material on the responsible use of credit cards along with applications.
The Regents also discussed requiring educational institutions to include educational material on credit card use in student orientation programs and materials.
Similar policies are being discussed among lawmakers and higher education officials across the country in the wake of reports that many students are spending irresponsibly on credit, falling deeply into debt. According to Jean Sherman Chatky of Money Magazine, today's college students carry more debt than any previous generation, with an average credit card balance of $2,200.
Kyle Barker, former student body president at Kansas State University, announced this spring Kansas State would not make any bans at its campus, Justin Mills, former KU student body president, said it was an important issue for the University to pursue.

Officials say wrong man declared election winner
CLAY CENTER — Problems with a voting machine apparently cost a county commission candidate an election he should have won by a 3-to-1 margin.
Jerry Mayo, who narrowly lost to challenger Roy Jennings, filed a written objection to the election results Friday afternoon. Had Mayo missed the deadline of midnight Friday for filing the objection, the count would have become official.
But, as a result of the objection, officials say an "objection board" will be convened Monday and the ballots counted by hand.
After the election, county officials reported Jennings had hedged Mayo out of the Republican nomination for the 2nd Commission District by about 20 votes.
But officials said Friday morning that all votes cast for Jennings in the 2nd Ward, which is part of Clay Center, were recorded by the machine as being for Mayo. And the machine counted all votes cast for Mayo as Jennings votes.
County Clerk Mary Brown said ballots in the townships all contained Roy Jennings name on the top line. In the second ward, Jennings name was shifted, or "rotated," to the bottom line to give both candidates an equal chance to be listed on the top line.
But the vote-counting machine was apparently programmed to recognize the top line on all ballots cast in the district as belonging in the Jennings column, even though in the 2nd District Mayo's name was in the too slot.
Officials now believe Mayo may have beaten Jennings 465 votes to 153.
Wichita man helps veterans beat the summer heat
FORT DODDE — The summer heat is a bit more bearable for a half-dozen residents of the Kansas Soldiers Home, thanks to a drive led by one veteran's brother.
"I'm not a veteran, but I sure respect and admire what they have done for their country, and for them to be without air conditioning, well...," said Gordon Stowe, who owns the Wichita Winnings Co.
Stowe's brother, Gary, lives at the veteran's home. Stowe found out in July that the veterans were sweltering in 100-degree heat without air conditioning in their rooms.
"The more I thought about it, the madder I got," said Stowe, who bought his brother an air conditioner last year.
Stowe called the Wal-Mart store in nearby Dodge City and asked manager Mark Jamison how many window air conditioners he had in stock. He gave Jamison his credit card number and reserved a half-dozen of them.
Hotel and reserved hotel room
The totaltab: $602.45.
Jamison gave Stowe a 10 percent discount and donated one of the units to the Soldiers Home, free of charge. He delivered them himself, on his day off.
When Stove mentioned the plight of the Kansas vets to friends at the Wichita Tips Club, a business organization, many of them stepped up and gave cash to the cause, too.
Anti-abortion demonstrators disrupt PAC's conference
WICHITA - Police had to be called to an abortion rights group's news conference when anti-abortion demonstrators showed up and tried to gain entry.
The half-dozen demonstrators arrived just as the Pro Kan Do political action committee's news conference was about to begin on Thursday morning. They carried signs bearing photos of fetuses and slogans proclaiming Wichita as the nation's abortion capital.
Pro Kan Do was founded by Dr. George Tiller, a Wichita physician who performs abortions. Tiller, who has particularly angered abortion foes by performing later-term procedures, has survived shooting and seen his clinic bombed.
Troy Newman, leader of the anti-abortion group Operation Rescue West, tried to enter the news conference as a journalist, citing articles he's written for conservative papers, Web sites and newspapers.
The committee was formed to be a counterweight to groups such as Kansans for Life, which have organized religious conservatives into a powerful voting bloc favoring mainly Republican candidates.
Pro Kan Do supporters the door shut to keep out Newman, who said his purpose was as much to confront Pro Kan Do members as to cover the event.
After police arrived and talked to the management of the office building where Pro Kan Do is headquartered, they ordered the anti-
abortion protesters off the parking lot and onto nearby public property.
Network airs terror tapes
NATION
NEW WORK (AP) — CNN began airing excerpts Sunday from a cache of videotapes acquired in Afghanistan that portto to show al-Qaida terror training, bomb-making and poison gas experiments on dogs.
The tapes also show al-Qaida operatives appear to be practicing ambushes and kidnapping. Most of the tapes appear to be made before Sept. 11, although some show recorded television coverage of last fall's attacks in New York and Washington.
CNN said its correspondent, Nic Robertson, acquired more than 250 tapes through a longtime source, and he drove 17 hours from Kabul to a remote part of Afghanistan to first see them. CNN did not pay for the tapes, Robertson said.
The network said it showed the tapes to several experts to verify their authenticity.
Spacecraft goes missing
LOS ANGELES (AP) — NASA has not given up the search for a missing $159 million spacecraft and will continue listening for a signal from the comet-chasing probe on Monday, mission officials said.
"No one has said, 'OK, it's over,' said Michael Buckley, a spokesman for Johns Hopkins, which built and manages the spacecraft for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
The Contour spacecraft was programmed to fire its solid-propellant rocket motor early Thursday to leave Earth orbit on a multiyear mission to visit at least two comets.
It was supposed to signal operators at John Hopkins University's Applied Physics Laboratory about 45 minutes later to confirm the burn, but there was no sign of it.

Leaders say opium removal fails to detract growers
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) —The new Afghan government has "largely failed" in its 4-month-old effort to eradicate the opium poppy crop in Afghanistan, which in recent years became the world's biggest producer of the raw material for heroin, U.N. crop experts reported Sunday.
Agriculture "That's a big chunk of GDP." said Hector Maletta, a spokesman for the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization. This impoverished nation's gross domestic product (GDP) for 1999, the latest estimate available, was put at $21 billion.
Their figures show the 2002 crop, close to the high levels of the late 1990s, could be worth more than $1 billion at the farm level in Afghanistan.
By the late 1990s, Afghanistan was supplying 70 percent of the world's opium. Then, in 2000, the Taliban government banned poppy cultivation, and U.N. and U.S.drug agencies determined that this led to an almost total — 96 percent — reduction in acreage devoted to the crop in the 2001 growing season.
Censors pull Indian war film
The Associated Press
BOMBAY, India — An anti-war film that depicts the euphoria after India's first successful nuclear tests and the horror of Sept. 11 has been deemed too provocative for Indian eyes.
Just weeks after nuclear-armed India and Pakistan pulled back from the threat of war, the film censor board has demanded that veteran documentary filmmaker Anand Patwardhan make 21 cuts to "War and Peace" because of scenes that "may have the effect of desensitizing or dehumanizing people."
Critics charge that the board's decision is part of an effort to muzzle Indian media that challenge the ruling coalition led by Hindu nationalists. Patwardhan says the cuts would ruin the three-hour film, which ends with silent scenes of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
In an interview at his Bombay apartment Saturday, Patwardhan said he will appeal the cuts to the Appellate Tribunal in New Delhi on Monday. He expects to win, as he has each time the board has challenged his other social and political documentaries.
"War and Peace" is about India's celebrations after successful nuclear tests in May 1998. There are chest-thumping scenes of Hindus praising Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vaipayee for the secret tests near the desert town of Pokhran, with fireworks, rallies and cheers of "Atom Bomb Vaipayee," and "Pokhran has ignited every atom of manhood."
"The cuts that they asked for are so ridiculous that they won't hold up in court," Patwardhan said. "But if these cuts do make it, it will be the end of freedom of expression in the Indian media."
The film is also about the consequences of nuclear bombs and the power of the Hindu fundamentalist forces steering Vajpayee's Bharatiya Janata Party. The BJP-led coalition
won re-election in 1999, aided by the national jubilation over joining the club of nuclear nations.
nations. The Central Board of Film Certification demanded the cuts, even after "War and Peace" won top honors at the state-run Bombay International Film Festival in February.
Among the ordered cuts are: Footage of independence leader Mohandas K. Gandhi minutes before he was gunned down by Hindu-nationalist Nathuram Godse in 1948; visuals of Hindus cutting their hands with razors to sign their names in blood on messages of congratulations for the nuclear tests; all scenes with Vajpayee and other political leaders; and a sequence that has leaders of Hinduism's lower Dalit caste, known as "untouchables," lamenting that the nuclear tests were conducted on Buddha's birthday. Many Dalits have converted to Buddhism as a means to escape Hinduism's caste discrimination.
Censor board chairman Arvind Trivedi, an actor and former Hindu-nationalist member of Parliament, did not return calls for comment. Trivedi recently told other journalists that he has not seen the film and denies the board's decision was based on politics or pressure.
sure. Patwardhan, 52, who graduated from Brandeis University in Boston, says if he wins the appeal, the film would open to Indian audiences.
Mahesh Bhatt, one of India's most respected filmmakers, called the censor board's demands "shameful."
board's常委。
"It is appalling that the land that defies Gandhi makes it so difficult for a man like Pattwardhan, who articulates the same values that Gandhi dreamed for India," Bhatt said in a telephone interview. "The sanity of his film, it just undermines the war hysteria that they've whipped up."

Renovated Jaybowl ready for business
MUNCH
By Nathan Dayani Kansan staff writer
John Nowak/Kansan
Luis Londado. Wichita senior, touches up edges along the wall in the Jaybowl. KU administrators are hopeful that the Jaybowl will be open before the first day of classes.
The jaybowl only needs a few finishing touches before it opens its doors to bowling classes at the semester's start and to the general public Sept. 3.
Bowling lovers at the University of Kansas will not have to wait much longer for some new lanes.
"We need to do a lot of clean-up, but the pin setters are ready to go; the lanes are ready to go," said Mike Fine, recreation coordinator for the Kansas and Burge unions. "If we had to, we could bowl today."
The Jaybowl, located on the first floor of the Kansas Union, has been under construction since last September. A few features from the previous Jaybowl remain, including the scoring computers and paintings of the evolution of the Jayhawk.
Almost every other aspect of the Jaybowl underwent significant renovation. John Tran, Overland Park junior, has helped with the facility's construction. He said the Jaybowl came a long way in the past few months.
"We did a lot of work on it, so it looks a lot of different now." Tran said. "It's a night and day difference."
In addition to major aesthetic changes, the Jaybowl has new bowling balls, ball returns and Brunswick Pro Anvil lanes. However, bowlers might have to adjust to the new surface.
"There's going to be a little bit of a learning curve for us as we figure out the conditions." Fine said. "The lanes will play different from wood. They
tend to be a surface with less friction than wood."
Fine said the lanes should help generate more power than the Jaybow's former wood surface. He also said the lanes have a second set of markers that should help increase bowlers' scores.
The Hawks' Nest, adjacent to the Iawbowl, will also open Sept. 3. The
Hawk's Nest will serve as a restaurant, coffee bar and performance area. The Jaybowl will also have three coin-operated pool tables and several video games, including the ever-popular Golden Tee.
and Coherent will charge $1.75 per game for students with a KUID to bowl, and $2 for others. Shoe rental will cost $1.
Zack Lerner, Prairie Village senior,
frequented the Jaybowl before it
closed almost a year ago.
"It's close. You can go in between classes if you want to get a break," he said. "And it's cheap."

Venetian blinds and the blades of a ceiling fan hung in a melted mess after an apartment fine early Friday morning.
The fire was reported about 1:15 a.m. Friday at 1132 Tennessee St. Mark Bradford, deputy chief at Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical, said no one was injured in the fire.
The fire was contained in about an hour. Damage was confined to the southeast corner of the converted two-story apartment, but smoke and heat caused damage throughout the building. Homeowner Jan Tucker said rain also caused damage because of holes in the roof. Damage was estimated at $30,000.
Tucker said four people occupied the house she had renovated in 1997. No one was home at the time of the fire, and smoke alarms were sounding when firefighters arrived at 1:20 a.m.
bradford said Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical said an unattended card started the fire.
Tucker said the fire started in the studio apartment of Portia Riggins, a Lawrence resident. A one-bedroom apartment rented by another Lawrence resident suffered only smoke damage.
Debris continued to fall in the two-bedroom second floor apartment that Erica Shamrock, Glenview, Ill., senior, and Kim Juarez, Lenexa senior, moved into in late July.
Their living room, bathroom and one bedroom were destroyed, and Juarez said few of their belongings survived the fire. She and her roommate planned to find a new apartment soon.
"We obviously can't just live with friends until they get the cleaned up." Juarez said. "We need a place to live."
Tucker doesn't know when she can begin to fix the damage to the house she has owned since the mid-1970s.

while most of the University's approximately 900 GTAs make more than $8,000, Vodicka said only about half of them make $10,000. All third-year GTAs will make $10,000 if the approval is approved.
The proposed contract establishes for the first time a minimum salary for GTAs. The base salary for a GTA in the first year of the contract would be $8,000. That amount would increase to $9,000 in the second year and $10,000 in the third year of the contract.
Graduate teaching assistants will vote next week on a proposed three-year contract with the University of Kansas.
"We think it's going to be an important improvement for working conditions for graduate teachers at the University," said Robert Vodicka, graduate teacher in humanities and western civilization and lead negotiator for GTAC. "We have always contended that teaching conditions for the graduate teachers are the learning conditions for the under-graduates."
The Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition and the University came to a tentative agreement July 10 on a salary package. The agreement ends nearly two years of off-and-on negotiations on the contract.
The base salary in the contract is for half-time GTA appointments.
Vodicka said about three-quarters of the University's GTAs work half-time, meaning they teach about two classes and work 20 hours a week. Under the new agreement, salaries would be based on whether a GTA works more or less than half-time. Under the proposal, the University also would increase the merit salary pool for GTA raises by 10 percent each year of the contract. Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations, said the University had never guaranteed the salary pool, which is distributed among departments, for each year of the contract before this proposal. The dean and faculty from each department determine if and by how much to raise GTA salaries.
Salaries were the point of contention during contract talks.
Disagreement about GTA wages brought negotiations to impasse in December. Bretz said the University could not afford to budget more money for GTA salaries until the tuition increase was approved in June by the Board of Regents.
"We were all in agreement this needed to be done," Brets said. "The tuition increase paved the way for it."
Vodicka said the strength of the
coallition, about 200 GTAs, helped push the University to an agreement about salaries. GTAC held demonstrations in past semesters to rally support for fair wages. The salary package accepted by GTAC in July, which totals roughly $3 million over three years, is about 15 times more than the package offered in December. Vodicka said.
"We think there is a cause-and-effect relationship," Vodicka said. "Unions are powerful."
GTAs are the only University employees who will see salary increases this year, Vodicka said.
While working with the union GTAs is "a different kind of process." Bretz said, the availability of money through the tuition increase was the deciding factor in offering the proposed salary package.
Before GTAC and the University can officially shake hands on the contract, the proposal must be approved by the coalition's members, the University, the Board of Regents and the state secretary of administration. GTAC members will vote on the contract Aug. 26, beginning the ratification process. If approved by GTAC, the University will likely submit the proposal to the Regents in time for its September meeting.
"We're very eager for this to be approved," Bretz said.
The contract does guarantee an across-the-board raise for GTAs, Vodicka said, but it will help those who need it most. GTAs in less well-funded departments will benefit most from the contract.
"Hopefully, some of us who are working second jobs won't have to," Vodicka said.
Doug Crawford-Parker, who worked as a GTA in English eight years, balanced teaching classes with two children, a second job as a tutor at the athletics department and his dissertation work. A GTA salary was never enough, he said.
He and his wife would delay fixing the ear or seeing the doctor when money was scarce.
A lot goes into teaching classes. Crawford-Parker said. In addition to showing up to teach class, GTAs must also design a syllabus, write assignments, grade student work and hold office hours.
Despite the workload, Vodicka said GTAs are committed to what they do.
"We're not complaining about it being demanding." Vodicka said. "You do it because you love it and you love teaching it."

Cigarette tax places Kansas' burdens on smoker's shoulders
New tax is unfair to smokers and fails to solve problems
Kansas is in a serious financial crisis and budgets across the state have been slashed. Even at the University of Kansas, students and faculty have seen the result of decreased money alotments. Students are now paying more for tuition, and departments are experiencing major cutbacks.
In the spring, lawmakers were frantically trying to come up with ways to put money back into the state budget.
money back into effect
One proposal that came into effect
this summer victimizes smokers in the
state of Kansas to a $.46 tax increase.
Lawmakers and health lobbyists targeted
cigarette smokers as a way to help
make up the deficit in the Kansas budget
Even with the $.70 total tax per pack, smokers will face yet another jab in their pocket books when the tax goes up to $.79 in January. The cigarette tax is expected to put $81 million back into the economy.
economy. As unhealthy as cigarettes may be, smokers should not be expected to shoulder the financial burden of the state of Kansas. It is unfair that a segment of the population must pay for the mismanagement of tax revenue.
Another issue brought up is that ciga
rette vendors could face major loss in business. Those who live near state lines will go elsewhere to find cigarettes at lower prices.
This scenario is already occurring in states like New York where the cigarette tax went from $0.80 to $1.50. In an article that appeared in The New York Times, Jim O'Grady interviewed a vendor whose cigarette sales have decreased by 75 percent.
75 percent. O'Grady also reported that many consumers were crossing state borders or ordering online when purchasing their cigarettes.
This result to a tax increase seems to defeat the whole purpose of the tax which was to bring more revenue back into the state. The prices are so high that people look for other sources or are completely quitting the habit all together.
Instead of lawmakers looking for quick solutions such as the cigarette tax, attention must also go toward solving the overall problem. How did the state of Kansas end up in this financial crisis and how can we prevent this from happening again?
While the increase has obvious health benefits, it is the responsibility of every citizen to help Kansas recover from this serious financial crisis.
Lawmakers should not have targeted smokers and should have thought of tax solutions in which everyone has to pay out of pocket.

I look. Over to the left there is Free For All. There's another column below this one and an editorial cartoon above. Looks pretty much the same, doesn't it? That's where you're wrong.
COMMENTARY
We've actually made some big changes to the editorial page this semester, but they aren't things you're going to notice on day one. And they aren't things you're going to notice if all you read on this page is someone's drunken admission that they like to shave their armpits.
But those of you who are paying attention will see them.
COMMENTARY
If you've ever had a favorite Kansan columnist, if you've ever wondered what the Chancellor thinks about, if you've ever wished you had more than 20 seconds to tell us what you think; these changes are for you.
Maggie Koerth mko.orth@kansan.com
We started with the columnists.
This semester, you won't have to sit around wondering when the next column by your favorite political firebrand or funny guy is coming out. All the regular columnists are now on a two-week rotation schedule.
So if you really like the columns that we print this Thursday,you can read new columns by the same authors two Thursdays from now.
We still have guest columns, but we figure you'll read the opinion page more often (and enjoy it more) if you have some idea of what will be there.
Another big change we made will show up next Monday.
That's when we'll publish the first in a series of monthly guest columns by Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Student Body President Jonathan Ng.
These two men play a big role in shaping how this university is run. Now, they will be able to tell you, in their own words, about the decisions they make, the issues they care about and how both will affect you.
and how both of them will give you a better understanding of how and why changes happen (or don't) on campus.
But what happens when something you've read on the opinion page makes you angry, excited or curious?
In the past, you have had 20 seconds on Free For All to tell us what you think. Many of you have also written letters to the editor and guest columns. But let's face it, both of these outlets are one-sided conversations. You end up having to wait for the next round of letters or columns to find out what other people think of your ideas.
We wanted to give you the chance to actually communicate, not just talk. That's where the last two changes come in.
the last two changes happened.
First, we've added polls and discussion boards to the opinion page Web site on www.kansan.com. When we put up a new thread or poll, we'll tell you about it here, then you can go online, post and find out what other Kansan readers think, instantly.
Secondly, at least once this semester the editorial staff will host an open town hall forum. The topic will be an issue or a problem that you've shown us you care about. The forum will give you a chance to talk face to face with members of the editorial board and other people relevant to the issue.
Both students and Lawrence residents will be welcome.
Plus, the forum will be broadcast over KUJH campus television, so even if you can't come you can still watch.
We are excited about the changes we've made for fall and we hope you enjoy them.
More importantly, we hope that they encourage you to pay more attention to this page and what's going on on your campus.

Athletics Department shuffles staff
Kelly McNearney

In a frenzy of hirings, firings and retirements, the University of Kansas Athletics Department revamped its staff and administration this summer.
The Department promoted six staff members, and one administrator resigned. Given the size of the Athletics administration, the changes affected relatively few employees.
"Considering the amount of people on staff, it's not that many changes," said Mitch Germann, director of media relations.
Germann was promoted this summer and is replacing Doug Vance as director of media relations. Germann worked as assistant director of media relations for the past five years.
He will continue to oversee media contact for men's basketball.
"I didn't want to let that one go." Germann said. "It's too good."
Pat Warren, former associate athletics director, resigned in June. He oversaw special projects and legal affairs. He left KU to pursue an MBA at the University of Chicago.
The department will replace him this fall.

The mother of a deceased University of Kansas student is getting financial help from an unexpected source
The KU Chinese Students and Scholars Friendship Association collected more than $3,500 to help pay for medical bills accrued during the last days of Xun Sun's life.
Sun, 31, was a graduate business student from Changchun, Jilin, a northern province of China. He was visiting a friend in Colorado when he lost control of his Plymouth Lazer at about 4:30 p.m. on June 23 while driving on Interstate 70 in Grand Junction. The car rolled several times after crossing the median, police reports said. He died on June 26.
Joe Potts, director of KU's International Student and Scholar Services, flew to Grand Junction to be with Sun during the hospitalization. Sun's mother, Gui-Qing Zhang, also flew from China to Colorado, in hopes of seeing her son before he died.
He passed away before she arrived, but in the meantime about
$50,000 in medical bills accumulated. Potts said.
Potts said Sun had limited insurance, which meant his mother would have been left with most of the bill, had the accident occurred in Kansas. However, because the incident happened in Colorado, the insurer is mostly likely going to pay nearly all of the costs. The insurance company is still determining the final amount.
It's a lucky break in the midst of an
unfortunate circumstance, Pott's said.
Sun was an only child. His father died in June of 1999, leaving his mother with substantial debt, said Lili Chen, Sichuan, China, senior and president of the organization.
president of the organization
The money was mailed to Sun's mother two weeks ago, Chen said. Additional donations can still be sent in care of Hai Jun Zheng, CSSFA treasurer, at 12113 Mackey St., Overland Park, KS 66213.

'Sellout' true to its name
Gene Simmons, Tina Turner, Tommy Lee, Janis Joplin and other stars could be performing somewhere in Lawrence soon, and they won't even insist on playing their own material.
By Louise Stuffer Kansan staff writer
The music superstars are really a collection of Lawrence residents and University of Kansas students who came together to form the Band Sellout, and cover songs aren't] just the bands' speciality — they're the whole show.
Bree Bruns, Oskaloosa senior, plays Janis Joplin in the band. Long, wild hair, huge round sunglasses and hippie clothing help transform her from a regular college student to hard-drinking, hard-living Janis.
Bruns said the band had a test to see if audiences would recognize the characters.
"If we can walk into three bars and get recognized, then we know our audiences will know who we are," she said.
More famous faces in the band include Tina Turner, played by Sunny Bertrand. Lawrence resident, the construction worker from the Village People, played by Brian Barth, Overland Park senior, and Tommy Lee, played by Jason Slote, Lawrence resi-
"It's easier to perform with costume," Bruns said. "It's like a big blanket."
The idea for a cover band and characters was hatched on a fishing trip by two other members, Steve Ozark, Lawrence resident, who plays Gene Simmons, and Nick Kounas, Lawrence resident, whose character is That 70s Guy, a disco personality. Both Ozark and Kounas had played in bands before but weren't satisfied with their experiences.
"We just wanted to create a fun band all about having a good time, and not taking any of it seriously," Kounas said.
Ozark runs his own talent agency in Lawrence called Ozark Talent, so he knew what he wanted in a band.
"I've seen so many bands take themselves so seriously," he said. "We are the antithesis of the Lawrence music scene."
Ozark's career as a booking agent also enables the band to worry about issues other than booking shows.
Ozark said performing in Sellout
"It takes all of the pressure off, my booking the band." Ozark said.
The costumes entertain the audience but also help Sellout members become their alter egos.
helped him gain insight into his career as an agent.
"Now I have more empathy for my bands when they complain about stuff on tour, because I understand what they're going through," he said.
Bruns said she too gets personal gain from being a member of Sellout.
a take this band in a little bit of a different light because I have to pay rent," she said. "But Sellout is so much fun, I work hard in this band. The costumes make it a lot more fun, it's way over the top."
The band has a touring circuit that covers much of the Midwest, including Lake of the Ozarks, Mo., Golden, Colo., and Joplin, Mo. Sellout also plans to tour in the islands of St. Thomas and St. John during February and March 2003.
sellout specializes in covers from the '70s and '80s — the more popular, the better. Songs such as "Shake Your Booty" and "Jungle Boogie" are popular requests. The band also plays hits from current artists such as Eminem.
"We're just trying to get people to onen up and have fun." Ozark said.

University releases 20 percent of tuition-increase revenues to financial aid

University officials announced in July that they would follow through with their promise to devote 20 percent of the revenue from this year's 25.2 percent tuition increase to financial aid.

To be considered for the grant, students had to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAPSA. Along with meeting federally set academic guidelines, the main factor the department considered was students' financial need.

It wasn't immediately clear what had led to the shooting Friday night of the Friars Point resident, Doyle Hunter. He was shot in the face and shoulder and remained hospitalized Sunday, said his cousin, Teanna Bell.
Geocaching a tech-driven treasure hunt without the treasure
The Associated Press
LIBERAL — Many have participated in an old-fashioned scavenger hunt, but aficionados have used satellite technology to bring the game into the 21st century.
That technology and a love of the outdoors have spawned a new game called geocaching — pronounced geo-caching — that is an adventurous game for people who own hand-held geographical positioning satellite receivers. Players use GPS receivers to find caches hidden by other players, and all use the Internet to tell o
their experiences with the hidden caches.

Grants counter tuition costs
University releases 20 percent of tuition-increase revenues to financial aid
By Kyle Ramsey
Kansan staff writer
University officials announced in July that they would follow through with their promise to devote 20 percent of the revenue from this year's 25.2 percent tuition increase to financial aid.
Janet Roeker, assistant director of financial aid, said the University awarded 3.700 grants to undergraduate and graduate students on the Lawrence campus. The grants total $1.72 million.
The KU Medical Center issued $500.00 in grant funds.
To be considered for the grant, students had to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid or FAFSA. Along with meeting federally set academic guidelines, the main factor the department considered was students' financial need.
"They had to have been impacted by the tuition increase." Roecker said.
Undergraduates received a maximum of $500 for the 2002-2003 academic year. Graduate students could
receive up to $400
Roecker said most students who received the grant qualified for the full amount — about 94 percent of undergraduates and 91 percent of graduate students.

Administrators prepare online enrollment system
Kyle Ramsey
Kansan staff writer
After years of anticipation and decries from agitated students sweltering in long enrollment lines, the convenience of online enrollment is here — almost.
University officials set next March as the launch date for online enrollment, just in time for Fall 2003 enrollment season.
Bob Turvey, project manager and academic services administrator, said the enrollment Web site would work like common sites such as Hotmail or Yahoo!
Turvey didn't know the exact cost of the initial software purchase, but estimated it was several hundred thousand dollars. He said the project required about 90 faculty members from various departments.
"The site explains itself." Turvey said. "If you can get to the Web, you're there."
The brains behind online enrollment is a software program called PeopleSoft. The software will eventually replace KU's current Web services, which deal with online grades and schedules, and better merge with the University's accounting system, which already uses the PeopleSoft system.
"The common belief is this project has been enrollment. That's only a small piece." Turvey said. "It's really small in comparison."
Implementation comes at a larger cost. Aside from money paid through faculty salaries, the project was given
$1 million in both fiscal years 2002 and 2003. The project received $250,000 from the state in fiscal year 2001, Turvey said.
"We're expecting to add money from the tuition increase," he said.
The project began in 1997 when the University purchased the PeopleSoft program, said Richard C. Morrell, university registrar. It's implementation was delayed to address Y2K concerns on campus and because of various upgrades to the PeopleSoft program since the initial 1997 purchase.
1999 purchase.
And although online enrollment aims to replace the traditional pen-and-paper process, there's still one glitch. The project team has yet to integrate the advising process in to the new enrollment model, Turvey said.
"KU has a plethora of interesting and complicated requirements," he said. "We're trying to replicate the logic behind those, and we hope to generate that electronically."
Gloria A. Flores, associate director of the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center, said the role of the advising center would not change because of online enrollment. She said the center still planned to provide students with personalized advice regarding their education at the University. Students will also be just as responsible for initiating that contact as in the past.
The current system requires students to collect a series of signatures and stamps from their adviser and academic schools and present these things to officials at the Enrollment
Center.
Online enrollment will mark the third generation of enrollment procedures the University has used in recent history.
Before the opening of the Enrollment Center in 1982, KU used a punch-card system, Morrell said. That setup gathered enrolling students in Allen Fieldhouse. There, students collected the punch cards — one $x$ card for each course the student was to be enrolled in — from tables set up from each department. After all cards were collected, the students submitted them to the registrar, where the cards v'iere fed into a computer that produced students' schedules.
The Enrollment Center will remain open after March, but its purpose will be slightly altered. Instead of meeting with University employees to have schedules entered into the Registrar's database, students will be able to use the center's unmanned computers to select their courses online. Morrell said the center would also be used as a training facility for faculty members who need to become better acquainted with the PeopleSoft system.
Next came the current system, which is based in the Enrollment Center.
Turvey said the project team would begin demonstrating the system to faculty and students in November.

Homicidetrial delayed
By Michelle Burhenn
Kansan staff writer
Investigators continue to follow leads in the July deaths of an elderly couple, Lawnervs first double homicide case in almost a decade.
Meanwhile the Douglas County District Attorney's Office prepares for the Sept. 3 preliminary hearing of Damien Lewis, who is charged with both capital murder and first-degree murder in the case.
George "Pete" Wallace and Wyona Chandlee, both 71, were found dead July 11 in their home at 1530 Learnard Ave. They were both shot in the face and the head sometime between July 10 or July 11 when they interrupted a burglary of their home, according to the Lawrence Police Department. Formal charges were filed against Lewis, 22, Lawrence, a week later in Douglas County District Court.
Sgt. Mike Patrick of the Lawrence Police Department said investigators
were finishing following up more than 160 leads in the case.
"We are working not only with the development of those leads, but putting that together in a written work product to hand over to the prosecution," Patrick said. "It continues to get closer every day."
Patrick said he did not know when all the information would be ready to hand over to the District Attorney's Office.
The complete report is not necessary for the district attorney to have Lewis' Sept. 3 preliminary hearing, said Shelley Diehl, deputy district attorney. A preliminary hearing aims to provide enough evidence for a judge to determine if there is enough evidence to try a suspect on charges.
Though the original preliminary hearing, which was scheduled for July 24, was delayed, Diehl said she could not speculate if the new date would stand.
Diehl said Christine Kenney, Douglas County district attorney, is handling the case, which is the first capital murder charge in Lawrence since the reinstatement of the death penalty in Kansas in 1994.
Lewis' lawyer, Ron Evans of the Kansas Death Penalty Defense Unit, was granted a continuance at the July 24 hearing and told Judge Michael Malone he might ask for another continuance. Evans is defending two men charged with capital murder in a quadruple homicide in Wichita. That trail begins Sept. 9. Evans could not be reached for comment.
"There are so many things that can affect if this thing goes as scheduled," Diehl said. "Mr. Lewis by law is ensured a preliminary hearing in a timely fashion. We're not anticipating a delay, but it could happen."

Bands opting to record at home
By Michael Vennard
Kansan staff writer
With the development of faster computers and more affordable, user-friendly technology, some local musicians are opting to stay away from the studio, recording their music at home.
"Anybody with a nice computer can record multiple tracks, tweak their levels, create artwork, burn a CD and print out some liner notes," said BillColburn, station manager at JKHJ 90.7.
"You can basically make and distribute the whole product at home."
Red House Recording Studio, 701 Main St. in Eudora, charges $50 an hour or $500 per day to record in their advanced studio, and Mass Street Music, 1,347 Mass. St., charges $99 for the most basic 4-track analog recording equipment.
Andy Bricker of the local band the Hardaways said his band purchased a Roland VS 24-track recorder for $3,000.
"It's real nice and pretty much has everything you need except for microphones, which we already had," said Bricker. "It's a one-time investment for future records. For the price of going into a semi-decent local studio, you could buy your own equipment and
afford, much more creative freedom,
And you get to keep the equipment.
Bricker said he was happy recording at home where his band members could be as picky and creative as they want without being rushed into a record they might not be happy with.
"We record at home exclusively and there's no time constraints," said Bricker. "We could do the same things 100 times or until we get it right because it's on our own time. Paying by the hour doesn't lend itself very well to creativity. We can't afford a few hundred dollars in order to get the right take."
Bricker said his band spent 250 to 300 hours recording and mixing their upcoming release. Bricker said the money the band saved by not recording in a studio would be used to pay for graphic design, printing, CD duplication and to fix their van's fuel pump.
Local rock band Ghosty borrowed the Hardiaways 24-track equipment to record new tracks for its upcoming release.
The members of Shadow Brigade turned a musty, cobweb-infested basement into a recording studio for their recent release, "Theme for an Evening."
KJHK's Colburn said that the do
e yourself ethic had ripple effects throughout the recording industry.
Colburn said that the speed with which bands could record and release products made it harder for larger record labels to forecast trends in the industry.
"Smaller labels can press 500 copies at a time or even burn CDs as the orders come in, break even and with not that much of a risk," Colburn said. "Pressing hundreds of thousands of copies can be a big risk for the bigger labels."
When Colburn first started working at KJHK he was given a $50 stipend to purchase new music for his program. Colburn said record labels would send promotional copies of releases to the station, but not what was in demand. Colburn said that production costs have lowered drastically, which allows labels of all sizes to send any and all material to radio stations everywhere.
"We get free music and they (the labels) get to forecast trends by looking at what our DJs are pulling out of the mail and spinning on the air," Colburn said.

County officials calm despite discovery of virus

Birds infected with West Nile Virus have been found in the shaded counties. The counties are as follows: Sedgwick, McPherson, Douglas, Shawnee, Wyandotte, Johnson, Reno and Republic counties.
By Lindsay Hanson Kansan staff writer
Source: Kansas State University Research and Extension
After three years of westward movement across the United States, the mosquito-borne West Nile virus officially made itself known in Douglas County Thursday.
Health officials said that a blue jay found dead in the county tested positive for the virus that affects birds, horses and humans. A Cowley County resident reported the first case in Kansas on Aug. 7 when a horse died from the infection.
Representatives of the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department said Friday that no one in the area had reported suspicions of human infection of the West Nile virus.
"We're trying to keep people calm," said Kim Ens, registered nurse and communicable diseases coordinator at the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department. She said most people infected with the virus never developed symptoms.
We're talking about such a mild infection that I doubt they'll ever get to a vaccine for humans," she said.
Ens said the human cases that occurred rarely developed past a mild illness. In some cases, however, the infection has been known to cause encephalitis, or swelling of the brain; meningitis, or swelling of the lining of the brain; and death once in every thousand cases.
Symptoms of a West Nile virus infection range from headaches and nausea to eye pains, a rash on the chest and swollen lymph nodes.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta said that there had been 11 human deaths and 251 lab-confirmed cases in twelve states since the West Nile virus first appeared in 1999. Thirty-seven states have found the virus in birds and in horses, for which a vaccine exists.
Patricia Denning, M.D. of Watkins Health Center said that because the symptoms resembled those of the common flu, detecting a West Nile virus infection could be difficult. She said health care providers would deal
with patients by managing their symptoms.
Ens said that although a small proportion of mosquitoes carried the infection in regions with the West Nile virus, people should protect themselves. She recommended wearing insect repellent with DEET, limiting time outside at dawn and dusk, wearing long sleeves and pants outside, and eliminating pools of stagnant water.
"Luckily it's been a dry summer, so there aren't many places with standing water," Ens said. She said people should change the water in children's swimming pools, bird baths and pet dishes about once every three days.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has been working with offices at Kansas State University and the University of Kansas among others to monitor the spread of the virus for several months.
KU's department of ornithology, which studies birds, has been receiving about 10 calls each day from people finding dead birds in the area.
"Crow's tend to be the canary in the cage that says the West Nile virus is here," said Townsend Peterson, curator of ornithology at the Natural History Museum.
Peterson is part of a team at KU that is surveying the West Nile virus.
He said tracking the virus in mosquitoes is too difficult, so officials look for it in birds instead. He said that surveillance teams could concentrate on monitoring the virus in other parts of the state now that the virus had been confirmed in Douglas County. Peterson said that researchers must wait for the virus to cross the Rocky Mountains.
Some cities like Dallas have taken to spray chemicals to stop the West Nile virus outbreak, but Lawrence does not plan to use such measures, said Richard Ziesienis of the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department.
"We hope not to get to that point to have to deal with mosquitoes in that way," he said.
Despite the widespread media coverage on the virus, Stephanie Swenson. Concordia junior, remained unconcerned about infection.
"I never get bitten by mosquitoes; I only get bitten by flies," she said. "If it gets to the fly species, then I'm in trouble."

Multicultural center seeks new funds
By Lindsay Hanson
Kansan staff writer
A group of six University of Kansas students have teamed with staff members this summer with the goal of finding funding for a new Multicultural Resource Center.
"We've outgrown this facility," said Santos Nunez, director of multicultural affairs.

Earlier this year, Chancellor Hemenway allocated $500 to the group to conduct a fessibility study on the project. The center currently now sits behind the Military Science building.

A student-led initiative prompted the University to create the center in 1995 as a statement of the University's commitment to multicultural education. The center serves to promote the development of cultural components in the curriculum. It supports minority student groups, and conducts awareness training seminars for faculty, staff and students.

The Multicultural Resource Center, currently located behind the Military Science Building, may get a new home if funding can be found. $500 has so far been allocated to a committee for a feasibility study.
"The more leg work we get done now, the less we'll have to worry about once school starts." Ng said.
The task force is developing a proposal to present to the Endowment Association. The group hopes to team up with the Endowment Association and approach potential donors. Led by Jonathan Ng, student body president, the group aims to finish a rough draft of the proposal by today. Ng said he wanted to finish gathering logistical details so the group could focus on finding funds for the project.

Students spent summer doing unusual jobs

A summer without school means jobs for most students.
A typical work day for Lauri Romine, Englewood, Colo. senior, may include cooking, cleaning, attending appointments, running errands, buying groceries and walking the dog. But not for herself.

"Lauri is the best attendant I've ever had." Cannistra said.
Romine said she met Cannistra in an English class at KU. Later, Romine answered a newspaper ad for a personal attendant job, and it turned out to be for

"I've learned so much from working for Lorraine," Romine said. "I've learned not to take things for granted. Also, my job helped me choose pre-nursing for my major."
Romine said her hours were flexible and that gave her time to enjoy the summer.
Romine wasn't the only KU student with an unconventional job this summer.
Aaron Hines, Madison, Wis. senior lived in Evergreen, Colo., with his parents and worked at the Coors Brewing Company in Golden. He worked on the tour stuff at the brewery, a job that included giving tours, driving tour buses, and occasionally bartending.

Campus Greens bring activists together at KU
sy Michael Vennard
Kansan staff writer
The activists of the 1960s joined forces with today's student activists when hundreds of people from across the country gathered at The University of Kansas for the Campus Greens National Convention this summer.
KU Greens played host to the convention, which was held Aug. 8 to 11. The main event was a Super Rally which was held on Friday, Aug. 9 at the Lied Center to celebrate 50 years of social justice campaigns.
"The idea was to bring activists who have been working for social justice over the decades and across generations to get together and offer workshops to other activists of all ages," Sarah Hoskinson, former Campus Greens co-director, said.
Hoskinson said that about 200 people from as far as California and New York attended the convention.
Activists from several progressive movements across the country attended the rally for workshops and music. There they worked with prominent activists such as Tom Hayden, a former California state senator and founder of Students for a Democratic Society, which gained prominence while protesting the Vietnam War.
Other presenters included Michael Bronski a leader of the Gay Liberation Movement; Medea Benjamin, co-founder of the Global Exchange, a San Francisco-based human rights group; Vernon Billecourt, founder of the American Indian Movement; and Mike Oxford, leader of the disabled rights movement. Country-folk musician Iris Dement entertained the crowd before the workshops and lectures began.

Housing options remain
Area landlords say rooms still available for late takers
By Matt Stumpff Kansan staff writer
Students still looking for places to live may find more options available than they had anticipated.
Cort Stephens, Lenexa senior, said he looked at 20 to 30 places in the beginning of August. One of his roommates, who was indecisive about returning to school, delayed signing a lease. Eventually, Stephens and his roommates found a place to live, despite getting a late start on the apartment hunt.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said he thought most students who wanted to live in apartments or houses had lived in Lawrence last year and made housing arrangements before leaving for the summer.
A&S Rental Solutions. 13 1/2 E. Eighth St., helps people find apartments and houses in the Lawrence area. Tony Yadrich, leasing agent at A&S, said the few people still looking for apartments would find a limited selection, but students could, for the most part, get the number of rooms they desired in an apartment.
Other property management businesses, such as First Management, 2001 W. Sixth St., and Property Management Services, 123 W. Eighth St., offer similar services.
Lois Schneider, a lawrence landlord for 15 years, said most students looking for apartments in August weren't looking for many rooms.
"Predominantly, people look for one-bedroom apartments in August," she said. "It's usually transfer students
and graduate students that come this late to rent."
"What was really funny was that the first two days in August we got a lot of calls," she said.
Students still looking for a place to live could also consider subleasing an apartment. Schneider said she had a tenant who was still looking for someone who sublease his apartment.
Contact Stumpff at mstumpff
Students still looking for apartments didn't have as much trouble finding a place to live today as they did 15 years ago, Schneider said. She said the addition of big apartment complexes left more vacancies than ever in Lawrence.

Students can take simple steps to prevent move-in robbery
Gloria Lehnherr keeps a watchful eye over her daughter's belongings. Mrs. Lehnherr said she shared guard duty with her husband as they helped her daughter, Leavenworth freshman Megan Lehnherr move in to McColum Hall.
By Michelle Burhenn Kansan staff writer
As students and parents flood Daisy Hill parking lots and move in elsewhere in Lawrence, unattended belongings, unlocked cars and front doors create an easy way for students to lose items, said Lt. Schueller Bailey of KU Public Safety Office.
If students want to move into a new residence and keep all of their belongings in the process, it just takes a little common sense, Bailey said.
"Students are coming into a community of 26,000 people sitting inside a community of 80,000." he said. "They have to be aware."
Theft of unattended property remains the most prevalent crime on campus, Bailey said. During last year's move-in week, from Aug. 19 to 25, 11 thefts were reported to KU Public Safety Office, Bailey said.
But he said most of the cases reported could be avoided by simply locking cars and room doors.
"I can't stress that enough," he said. "While moving in, you should always lock the door to your dorm room, car or apartment every time you leave. I know it's a hassle, but that's the only way you can guarantee it will be there when you get back."
Utilizing available engravers to make expensive items unique and writing down serial numbers also can help prevent theft, Bailey said. Engravers are available at the front desks of residence halls and at KU Public Safety Office in Carruth-O'Leary Hall. Without engraving possessions — such as televisions, stereos and computers — or knowing their serial numbers, there isn't much chance that a stolen possession can be
identified,he said.
Students should also be aware of the items they store in their cars. Compact discs and stereos are the items most frequently stolen from vehicles, Bailey said. If items can be seen from outside the vehicle, the owner is taking a risk.
"A thief is not going to break into your car unless they know they're going to get something," he said.
When student housing residents believe they are the victim of theft, Randy Timm, assistant director of student housing, recommended talking to their resident assistant.
"Talk to your RA," he said. "That's the best place to start, and they'll help
guide students through that."
To file a report, students would then need to contact KU Public Safety Office.
But as for preventing theft, Timm agreed with Bailey — be reasonable and secure belongings.
"A dose of common sense goes a long way on moving day." Timm said. "It's amazing. It's a stressful time and and people get excited. But having your keys with at all times should just be a normal. It's no different from living with your parents. You always lock up when you leave."

Ellsworth Hall is undergoing renovations. It will reopen in August 2003.
Residence hall closes
Ellsworth closes for renovations, causes cutbacks
The University of Kansas cut back the number of students who could return to on-campus housing this year while Ellsworth Hall is closed for renovation.
The University will house about 450 fewer students in residence halls this year, a 12.5 percent drop.
The Department of Student Housing guaranteed space for incoming freshmen in fall 2002 and spring 2003 and reduced available housing for students who lived in residence halls last year.
"We're committed to housing incoming students," said Ken Stoner, director of student housing.
The University wanted to guarantee freshmen housing because they are unfamiliar with their surroundings. Stoner said.
He said students who chose to live in fraternities after signing up for residence halls created some vacancies.
Ellsworth's design will be similar to
Templin and Lewis halls when it reopens in August 2003. The University renovated Templin in 1997 and Lewis in 1998.
The University renovated Templin first because it is the oldest residence hall on Daisy Hill. Lewis was next as the second oldest. Hashinger Hall was next in line, but the University decided to renovate Ellsworth instead because of piping problems, Stoner said.
Ellsworth will house about 550 students when it reopens next fall.

Sororities strive to develop more accessible recruitment
By Todd Rapp
Kansan staff writer
Women interested in sorority recruitment this fall will find themselves in a shorter, more user-friendly recruitment program.
The recruitment process for prospective sorority members was condensed into one weekend, a change from two weekends last year. Women's recruitment begins Thursday and runs through Tuesday. Aug. 27.
"We just wanted to make recruitment easier on the women, so they didn't have classes in between."
Barbara Berry, Panhellenic Association vice president for public relations, said the change was implemented to benefit the women participating.
"We just wanted to make recruitment easier on the women, so they didn't have classes in between," Berry said.
The change is designed to make it easier for women to concentrate on school instead of worrying about the house selection process.

Prospective fraternity members stayed in a sorority house over the weekend of July 13 to 16 and visited each fraternity, choosi:g their favorite houses. The formal recruitment coincided with the new student orientation of July 12 to 13, making it easier for out-of-state prospects to attend.
"I wanted a way for out-of-state students to get familiar with all the houses," said Egan Waggoner, Interfraternity Council vice president for fraternity recruitment. "During informal rush, a man may only see 11 out of 21 houses; we stressed that all chapters participate in formal recruitment, and they did." Waggoner said.
Fifty students attended the recruitment, and 40 signed with fraternities.
"For not having a formal recruitment last summer, getting 40 young men this year and participation from every chapter, it ran really smoothly," said Wagoner.

Three fraternities renovate houses
By Todd Rapp
Kansan staff writer
Several fraternity members at the University of Kansas broke out hard hats and putty knives to renovate their houses this summer.
Both the Sigma Nu and Alpha Epsilon Pi houses underwent renovations and Pi Kappa Phi members renovated and moved into the former Alpha Tau Omega house.
"It was to the point where it was hard to recruit because our house was unliveable," Brad Heinz, Sigma Nu vice president, said. "We also wanted to restore the house's history."
The Sigma Nu house, which was formerly used as the Kansas governor's mansion in the late 1800s, underwent a substantial renovation over an 11-week period. The fraternity now has a new kitchen, as well as new carpet and hardwood floors. Members of the house volunteered their services during the demolition process and helped with certain aspects of construction.
"Because it was us doing the work, we'll respect the house and its history a lot more, and we won't let it get treated as badly," Heinz, Springfield, Mo., junior said.
"We brought the house up to date for 2002," Heinz said. "It now meets today's modern living standards."
The Pi Kappa Phi house also has high-speed Internet access in every room, thanks to the new wireless Internet system installed this summer.
Returning seniors will be given preferential treatment - a seniors-only lounge, complete with a newpooltable, home theater and their own sleeping dorm. All members will have a new phone system and high-speed Internet access in every room of the house via a digital subscriber line, or DSL.
"We all renovated our own rooms and we are real proud of it," Scott Brooks, Pi Kappa Phi secretary and Wichita junior, said.
Fraternity members carpeted and painted the Pi Kappa Phi house and contracted companies to install new plumbing and service the climate control systems. The men took possession of the former Alpha Tau Omega house June 1 after searching for a house for more than two years.
"It was the final step in becoming a full fraternity," Josh Kropf, outgoing Alpha Tau Omega vice president and Leawood senior, said. "We had a chance to get a house and live the full fraternity experience."
Alpha Epsilon Pi members welcomed renovations to their chapter house. A year ago, the city evicted the members of Alpha Epsilon Pi because of code violations. Specific violations included a hole in the staircase, problems with electrical wiring, and a wooden door leading to the boiler room. The violations were given a quick fix and the members were allowed to return to their house within two weeks. Brian Gryll, Alpha Epsilon Pi president, said the eviction helped the house receive support for large-scale renovations. A total renovation was completed this summer.
"We did little things throughout the past year, but the big push was over the summer." Gryll, Wilmette, III., junior said.
Gryll said he hoped the renovations would improve retention of active members living in house and increase interest in recruitment.
"Morale is higher than it has been in a while," he said. "Instead of walking back from class to a house that looks like it is falling apart, we come back to a legitimate house."

Wal-Mart plans new store
By Lindsey Hodel
Kansan staff writer
Lawrence residents may soon have the option of visiting a second location for their Wal-Mart needs after a new store opens at the intersection of Sixth and Wakarusa streets.
According to the Saturday Lawrence-Journal World, a Wal-Mart representative confirmed that the company was seeking approval from the city for the store's location. John Bislo, community affairs manager for Wal-Mart, said the current Lawrence store would continue to operate at its existing location. He said Wal-Mart would be going into meetings with the city in the next couple of weeks.
"We have been looking to open a

second store in Lawrence for a couple of years," Bisto said.

Kirk McClure, associate professor of urban planning, said the opening of new retail businesses could eventually create vacancies elsewhere.
McClure said. "So the opening of new corporate stores could draw money away from other businesses and cause blighted areas to develop."
"There is only so much money Lawrence can spend on retail."
However, some students are looking forward to the opening of a new location. Michael Payne, Colorado Springs, Colo., senior who lives in West Lawrence, said he doesn't think people will stop shopping downtown.
"I just don't like the idea of chain stores coming into downtown," he said. "But Wal-Mart is a family organization and it makes sense that they would open where families live. College students like the convenience of having everything in one place."
Kiefer said the best audi equipment companies still looked for stores with full service centers like his to sell their products.
"When something breaks, they put you on a 1-800 number to nowhere instead of offering a full in-store service center," he said. "I think customers are just about to the end of the belief that discount stores are actually cheaper."
truth is they only offer the best marketing to give the illusion of cheaper prices."
Others in the Lawrence community are looking forward to the new store.
Burton Harding, Olathe junior, looks for factors such as cheap prices, long hours and a wide range of products in music stores.
"Mostly, I like the store's convenience and low prices on CDs," he said. "But I do realize it could mean bad news for other music stores."
Although Harding expressed sympathy for local merchants, he said he would probably end up shopping at Best Buy over local music stores if their prices were lower.

Now, crowps the final round.
During the summer, Chancellor Robert Hemenway asked Gov. Bill Graves to step in and make the final call about the fate of the houses.
Graves will give the public a chance to speak tomorrow from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Douglas County Courthouse.
"We want to make sure we have all of the information to make an informed decision," Kristin Heuertz, Graves spokeswoman, said. "The government wants to hear all sides in order to determine if it is feasible to tear them down or to renovate the houses."
Among the speakers who will take to the ring are at least six members of the Oread Neighborhood Association. Greg Hickam, association president, said the members are looking forward to the opportunity to provide their inum.
"We have speakers slated for each of the parts of a packet we hand-delivered to the governor around Anu. 7." Hickam said.
The packet contained a detailed report on each of the houses, an architect's report on the adaptability of the houses, offers to buy each of the houses and suggested alternative sites for the University's plans.
"There are several locations south of The Wheel and out on Seward Avenue that could work just as well for a couple of school halls," Hickam said.
Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations, said whoever spoke on behalf of the University would focus on the dilapidated state of the houses.
Bretz said two of the three houses were rental properties, and they were not well-maintained.
"The cost of renovating them would be unreasonable for KU to do so." Bretz said.
Some of those concerned about the issue have already reserved time to speak at the session.
"Only eight people have written in, but we expect there to be a few walk-ins," said Trista Beadle, staff attorney with the Governor's Office. "We would like to limit it to about five to 10 minutes per person."
A lawyer from Graves' office will supervise the meeting Graves will then use the testimony to make a final decision on the houses at a later date.
Hickam hopes the governor will get a fair and balanced account from both sides at tomorrow's meeting.
"I hope anyone with a strong opinion about this could take the time to attend," he said.

Daschle mum about political future
MONDAY, AUGUST 19, 2002
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — As Democrats with an eye on the White House work the crowds in Iowa and New Hampshire this month, Tom Daschle is on the West Coast raising money for Senate candidates and driving a rental car around his home state.
Other Democrats who show up on potential presidential lists are fairly public about their interest in running
— even if they don't know their final plans. Not so for Dashie, the 54-year-old Senate majority leader from South Dakota.
"I really haven't devoted any time or effort or consideration to that question." Dashle said this week in a phone interview.
So what's Tom Daschle up to?
That's the question on the minds of the party's veteran political operatives.
"This guy wants to hold onto the U.S. Senate," said Democratic consultant Dane Strother, who is helping in several Senate races in the South.
Keeping the Senate in Democratic hands is his most important political task for now, even if Dashle decides later to run for president.
So he was working his way up the West Coast early this week, raising
money for Democratic Senate candidates. Those he's helped recently include incumbents Paul Wallstone of Minnesota and Tim Johnson of South Dakota as well as challengers Bill Bradbury of Oregon, Ron Kirk of Texas and Alex Sanders of South Carolina.
Several other leading Democrats were traveling to the Iowa State Fair this week. Daschle was at a state fair recently, but in South Dakota, where he campaigned early this month for Johnson, the state's Democratic junior senator.
"My view, always, in politics is that only the paranoid survive." Daschle said in an interview from Seattle. "We may be ... in the most important Senate election in generations."
With Democrats holding onto the Senate by a 50-49-1 margin, Dashle puts Democratic prospects of keeping their majority at 50-50.
Dascheh has ordered his staff not to speculate about his political plans after the 2002 elections. But he is routinely included on lists of presidential hopefuls and neither he nor his associates encourage or discourage his inclusion. He was among the group that spoke to the centrist Democratic Leadership Council in New York last month.
"There is no answer today."
Daschle said. "I want to make sure
"There is no answer today. I want to make sure we're successful in
retaining the majority." Tom Daschle Senate majority leader
we're successful in retaining the majority."
After the 2002 elections, "we'll take a look at the political future."
Other Democrats considering the race include 2000 Democratic nominee A1 Gore, House Democratic leader Dick Gephardt of Missouri, North Carolina Sen, John Edwards, Massachusetts Sen, John Kerry, Connecticut Sen, Joseph Lieberman and Vermont Gov. Howard Dean.
Associates of those Democrats say they don't expect Daschle to run, but note that he could pull together a credible campaign quickly if he decides to enter the race.
For now, Daschle is working for Senate candidates in just over a dozen races. The three early primary states — Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina — all have critical Senate races, and other senators campaigning in those states are very
visible on national television.
"In some ways, I think it is an advantage to have people who are willing to do the national travel and the Sunday shows," Daschle said.
Because he is the leading Democrat in Congress, he ends up being the leading opponent of some Bush proposals. On Thursday, he was in the audience at Mount Rushmore in his home state as President Bush talked about homeland security. Conservative groups have targeted Dusche with harshly critical ads in his state.
"I feel a little bit like the kid who got an A on an exam," Dasche said. "The polling we've done suggests they haven't had any effect."
His prominence may make him a popular target for conservatives, but also keeps his name on the list of potential presidential candidates.
"He's on the list partly because of his institutional position," said David Rohde, a political scientist at Michigan State University. "But he's hardly a household name."
Rohle said that if Dashche decides to run for president, being Senate majority leader "is a good platform to start from."
"But he needs more information," said Rohde, "not the least of which is the outcome, of the 2002 elections."
"Pipeline Productions will still be able to book some shows there." Mosman said. "That was made available to me."

The Granada will only be open Friday night for DI-themed nights, called "Rock Fridays." It is the only shows patrons can attend until further notice. Logan said.

Renting the nightclub for weddings, birthday parties, etc. will now
be possible, as it is at Abe & Jake's," said Logan. "The Granada is a multifaceted place," he said.
The new management will focus on a higher standard of housekeeping than before.
"We're going to keep it clean, keep it nice." Logan said. "People know that when you go to Abe & Jake's you're not going to sit on anything sticky, it's going to be clean every time. That's how the Granada is going to be."
Live music was one of the main attractions to the Granada in the

KC death suit dismissed
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY — A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit charging police officers' indifference led to the murder of a teenage girl.
Filed in 2000 in U.S. District Court named Aubrey Phalp's family, the lawsuit named the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park, 10 police officers and four men, including Phalp's convicted killer, Todd Miller Dean.
The lawsuit claimed police didn't believe Phalp, then 17, when she reported on June 25, 1998, that four men either attacked and threatened her or observed the incident.
Her body was pulled from a lake in Miami County on Aug. 5, three days after she disappeared. Deal was convicted of the killing and sentenced to
life in prison without possibility of parole for 25 years.
The lawsuit alleged police told the accused attackers Phalp was not credible because she had bipolar disorder and had not been taking her medication regularly.
Phalp's father, mother and brother contended in the lawsuit she had been denied her rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
U. S. District Judge Julie A. Robinson dismissed the claims against all three groups of defendants. There was no trial.
Phalp's family contended Overland Park didn't adequately train its officers to deal with persons with bipolar disorder.
The ruling states in part:
The rulingists in part,
"Plaintiffs believe that Aubrey's
civil rights would not have been violated and she would not have been killed had Overland Park given its officers more or better training on dealing with mental illness and specifically, bipolar disorder. But even if true, this fact alone does not demonstrate deliberate indifference on the part of Overland Park."
Randall Phalp, the victim's father,
said Friday the ruling surprised him.
Robinson also found no evidence was presented that showed Phalp's bipolar disorder "substantially limited a major life activity," as required by the federal statute.
"This does not put to rest the underlying issues at all," Randell Phalp said. "The police were aware of my daughter's mental illness and used that to discriminate against her."
Prosecutors seek to use photos in murder case
The Associated Press
OLATHE — Prosecutors in John E. Robinson Sr.'s capital murder trial argued they should be allowed to show photographs of the women he is accused of killing.
The defense contends showing photos of the women while they were alive would prejudice jurors against Robinson and would have no value in proving whether he killed the women.
But in a motion filed Thursday in response to a defense filmed, prosecutors said the photographs could help witnesses identify the women—and help prosecutors link them to Robinson.
Prosecutors want to show pictures of alleged victims Suzette Trouten and Izabel Lewicka to several witnesses who they say could not identify the women any other way.
If hotel employees see pre-death pictures, they can say Robinson rented a room for Trouten two weeks before she disappeared, according to the response. Also, three witnesses can say they saw Lewicka and Robinson together, and two others can say Lewicka called herself Izabela Robinson.
Another woman can say another alleged victim, Lisa Stasi, attended a Christmas party with Robinson, and that Stasi was considering going to work for him, according to the response.
Prosecutors want to use two pictures taken of a fourth alleged victim, Beverly Bonner, when she was alive so a witness can say Robinson, calling himself James Turner, used a private mailbox opened in Bonner's name.
The mailbox company kept a driver's license photo and a passport photo of Bonner when the box was opened, the response said.
Robinson faces capital murder charges in Kansas and Missouri. His first trial is scheduled for Sept. 16 in Johnson County District Court.
The Johnson County case involves a young woman who disappeared in 1985 and two other women whose bodies were found two years ago in barrels on rural property Robinson owns in Linn County.
The case in Missouri's Cass County involves two women and a girl whose bodies were found in barrels inside a storage locker.
Company to settle suit in explosion
The Associated Press
WICHITA — ONEOK will pay an undisclosed sum to settle a lawsuit arising from last year's deadly natural gas explosions in Hutchinson.
The Tulaa, Okla-based company reached the settlement Friday with the heirs of John and Mary Ann Hahn, who died of their injuries after a gas explosion in the trailer park where they lived.
The Hahn's died just days after a Jan. 18, 2001, gas explosion destroyed their mobile home in the Big Chief Mobile Home Park.
A Sedgwick County District Court judge will rule next week on a request to remove a cap on punitive damages.
In a prepared statement, Biberstein and another attorney, Jay Fowler, blamed the gas company.
ONEOK spokesman Weldon Watson declined to comment on the settlement.
A district judge had previously ruled that ONEOK could be held liable for actions by Western Resources, before ONEOK bought the company.

Ellis boy breaks 4-H mold
The Associated Press
LARNED — William Poland
II was 9 years old when he
started working in the black-
smith shop — too short to reach
the wooden handle to fan the
bellows.
That didn't stop the Ellis student, who's now 11 and has won prizes at county fairs for items he created in the 1860s forge at Fort Lamed National Historical Site.
Dodge City blacksmith Pete Bethke, a seasonal ranger at the fort, took William under his tuteage. He looped a rope around the bellows so the youngster could fan the coals in the forge.
William can reach the handle on his own now. And his skill with metal has grown, too.
"The teachers at school have told us William was born 100 years too late," said his mother, Karen.
A couple of years ago, William saw Bethke work his
wonders with hot metal and a hammer during a presentation at Hays.
"He stayed around and lisse ted to what I said," Bethke said. "He watched for a half-hour."
William and his father started making the hour drive from Ellis to
clothing and heavy aprons,' William said.
The forge at Fort Larned was built in 1867. Blacksmiths in those days made and repaired items for the Army as needed, except horseshoes. They earned between $70 and $100 a month.
As William's interest in black

said.
Jill Stafford, an Ellis County 4-H agent with Kansas State University Research and Extension, said self-determined projects allow individuals to explore interests not covered by the traditional 4-H categories.
"4-H teaches kids to pursue their own passions." Stafford said. "William has found an interest and set out to be excellent. He's very knowledgeable about his blacksmithing, and very passionate about it."
This year, William entered a ram's head hook in the county fair.
"I split the metal down the middle, curled back the ends for the hooks and flattened it again forthe face." he said.
William has also made several decorative hooks for family use.
Much needed rain brings growth, death
The Associated Press
GARDEN CITY — Western Kansas badly needed the rain that recently soaked parts of the drought-stricken state, but the moisture also carried a danger.
The rain spurred the rapid regrowth of some plants, including milo and joonghssnang. But that rapid growth can also cause a toxic level of prussic acid, a derivative of cyanide, to build in the drought-stressed plants, said Ron Hale, an area livestock specialist with Southwest Kansas Research Extension Center.
Prussic acid poisoning is suspected in the deaths of a dozen or more cattle in two western Kansas counties in past weeks.
Roger Stockton, a crops and soils specialist for Kansas State University's Northwest Area Extension Office, said nine cattle had been recently found dead in Norton County. The cattle were grazing on drought-stressed milo, which led Stockton to suspect the deaths were caused by prussic acid.
Mean while in south west Kansas, a uncon-firmed number of cattle died in Com
The rapid growth can also cause a toxic level of prussic acid, a derivative of cyanide, to build in the droughtstressed plants.
manchie County. Those cattle were likely grazing on johnsongrass.
Hale said area cattlemens should watch for signs that drought-stunted crops have accumulated enough cyanide to build to toxic levels
Though Hale said prusic acid had been a "scattered problem" in past years, it's more of a concern this season, with its shortage of pasture grass for cattle grazing. More producers are forced to turn to any pasture they can find.

White House sleep-overs include donors and friends
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Bush and first lady Laura Bush have invited dozens of friends and relatives to sleep over at the White House, from Republican fund-raisers to Texas pals such as pro golfer Ben Crenshaw and country singer Larry Gatlin.
country singles.
The issue of White House sleepovers arose during the Clinton administration when it was learned that the Democratic Party was rewarding big donors with overnight stays in the Lincoln Bedroom.
The Bushes' roughly 160 guests include at least six of the president's biggest fund-risers and their families. White House spokeswoman Anne Womack said she didn't know whether donors, or any other Bush guests, have slept in the Lincoln Bedroom.
"The president and Mrs. Bush enjoy spending time with their friends and family and have invited friends and family to stay as guests in the White House." Womack said.
record $100 million for the Republic can primaries.
A half-dozen Bush donors and fund-raisers known as "pioneers" are among the guests on a list released late Friday by the White House. Each raised at least $100 for Bush's 2000 campaign, helping him take in a
They include Roland Betts, a Yale classmate of Bush and a former partner of his in the Texas Rangers baseball team; venture capitalist and Republican National Committee fund-riser Brad Freeman; Texas rancher and state Sen. Teel Bivins; Boston businessman Joe O'Donnell; and Joe O'Neill of Midland, Texas, an olmil and childhood friend of Bush credited with introducing him to Laura Bush.
Womack said the fund-raisers are also longtime friends of the Bushes.
Larry Noble, executive director of the Center for Responsive Politics, a campaign finance watchdog group, said that whether the Bushes are letting contributors stay in the Lincoln Bedroom "matters symbolically," regardless of whether the donors are also family friends.
"The Republicans made a very big deal about it during the Clinton administration," Noble said. "In this whole business, the whole issue is perception."
perception. The halting of White House tours for the general public since the Sept. 11 attacks may present a new issue for the Bushs, he said.
"The American public's access to
the White House has been severely restricted," Noble said. "So you may have an increased perception problem if, in fact, large contributors are getting access to the White House."
Bush has said he wouldn't use overnight invitations to the White House in any quid pro quo with donors.
"There's something sacred about the Lincoln Bedroom," he told The Associated Press in an interview last year.
In contrast to the star-studded guest list Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton compiled — from Barbra Streisand to director Steven Spielberg and actors Jane Fonda and Tom Hanks — no members of the Hollywood elite have stayed overnight in the Bush White House.
But there are some famous names in the crowd, including Crenshaw, a Bush family friend and campaign donor from Austin, Texas; country music performer Gatin; and Texas musician and author Kinky Friedman. Republican governors, including Pennsylvania's Tom Ridge, now Bush's chief adviser on domestic security: Jane Hull of Arizona, George Pataki of New York, John Rowland of Connecticut, Bob Taft of Ohio and John Engler of Michigan also are among the guests.
Tragedy taints 9/11 birthdays
The Associated Press
National Center for Health Statistics
NEW YORK—Sept. 11 used to be Andrew Williams' birthday.
Andrew Williams said.
That date is now so saturated in sadness, "it doesn't seem like a good day for celebration any more," said the 33-year-old musician from Owego, N.Y. Starting this year, he's switching to Sept. 10.
switching to September, Joe Reamsynder, however, isn't budging. The 17-year-old from Westville, Ohio, said he'll observe his birthday Sept. 11 as usual.
More than a million Americans have birthdays or anniversaries on Sept. 11, according to Census Bureau and
in other seperations.
"If I let them take that away, that would mean the terrorists had won one more thing," he said.
"People are going to feel guilty celebrating," said Robert Butterworth, a trauma psychologist in Los Angeles. "The response that we've been conditioned to is sadness and anger."
Now, some of them are wondering if there is an appropriate way to celebrate on a date that evokes thoughts of mass destruction and death. Others are considering ways to avoid the date.
Some people said they were simply too close to the catastrophe to think about celebrating.
"I will never have another birthday," said Marie Hoerner of Port Richey, Fla., whose son, Ronald Hoerner, was killed in the World Trade Center.
She and her husband had traveled to New York to be with their newlywed son on Sept. 11, her 84th birthday.
"In the morning he said to me, 'Mom, later on when I come the four of us will go out for your birthday dinner.' He kissed me on the cheek and said, 'I'll call you.'
Leah Vidal, a New York City actress who turned 31 the day the twin towers collapsed, doesn't think the national memory will ever fade.
"I was of two minds about the fact that it was happening on my birthday," she said. "One was that it was a very silly thing to be thinking about. The other was that I took it very personally. 'This is my birthday, I can believe they did this to me on my birthday.'"

Priest in Virginia reinstated despite protest
The Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va. — All five lay members of the Diocese of Richmond's sexual abuse panel have resigned after the reinstatement of a priest accused of abusing teenage boys in the 1970s.
The panel recommended in June that Rev. John E. Leonard be removed from duty and hospitalized for counseling. Bishop Walter F. Sullivan then cleared the priest of the allegations and returned him to his suburban parish.
Leonard, who was put on leave in May when the investigation began, denied the allegations.
Panel member Kathy Jones, who works for the state Department of Juvenile Justice, last week became the fifth member of the 10-person panel to resign. The other four stepped down during the past several weeks. The remaining panelists are priests or work for the Catholic diocese.
"I resigned because the process was not followed — the same reason
everyone else has given," Jones said Friday. She refused to discuss the case further.
Other former panelists said Sullivan did not follow procedures and they never received the investigative team's final report. Some also said they disagreed with the bishop's decision.
The investigative report concluded the accusers were believable, while Leonard's responses were not, according to The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk, Va., which obtained a copy.
"While the accusers/victims know each other and have spoken to each other, we do not believe they have fabricated any of these accusations," the report states. "They also indicate that there is a pattern of misbehavior here. This is not a one-time incident."
Four men accused Leonard of improper sexual behavior when he was principal of the St. John Vianney Seminary, a boys high school in Goochland County that closed in 1978. A fifth man told The Virginian-
Pilot this week that Leonard raped him while he was a student at the school in 1974.
Goochland County prosecutor Edward K. Carpenter began a criminal investigation Monday. The diocese plans to turn over all its investigative materials on Leonard, Apuzzo said.
Sullivan is on vacation and could not be reached for comment, the Rev, Pusquale J, Apuzzo, diocese representative, said Friday.
Leonard's lawyer, James C. Roberts, declined to comment Friday on the panel members' resignations. He previously has said he instructed the priest not to discuss the allegations.
In other developments:
A former altar boy sued the Boston archdiocese and a high-ranking official, Mignoror Michael Smith Foster, who he says molested him repeatedly 20 years ago. The lawsuit alleges church officials were negligent in their supervision.
Foster, judicial vicar and presiding judge of the archdiocese's Metropolitan Tribunal, remains at work, archdiocese spokeswoman Donna Morrissey said. She declined to comment on the allegations.
—The San Francisco arch迪есie placed a priest who serves as the police department's chaplain on leave while Child Protective Services investigates a complaint he molested two brothers 40 years ago.
Monsignor John P. Heaney, 74, has been department chaplain for 35 years.
"He has done nothing wrong," his attorney, Jim Collins, said.
In Illinois, Gov. George Ryan signed a law requiring clergy to report cases of child abuse to authorities. The law does not apply to information learned during religious activities, such as confession, which critics call a significant loophole.
The law adds elergy to the list of professions who must report suspected cases of abuse to the Department of Children and Family Services. Failure to report will be punishable by less than a year in jail.
Media can coexist with changing laws
The Associated Press
DAVIS, WVa. — Despite predictions to the contrary, newspapers can have a bright future as technology-driven information companies, a top industry executive told editors and publishers Friday.
Acknowledging "things are getting very strange out there" economically, W. Dean Singleton, vice chairman and chief executive of MediaNews Group, said, "It's time to charge, not retreat. ... I'm a believer that the payoff on the Web is there, it's just waiting for us to discover the right models.
"We are well-positioned as the cornerstone of media convergence when the chains of cross-ownership are released next year," he added, referring to expectations that the Federal Communications Commission will remove restrictions on joint ownership of broadcast and newspaper outlets.
"It is indeed a delicious irony that the oldest communications medium
is emerging as the most modern, most high-tech and most successful," Singleton said.
Some have predicted the Internet and the World Wide Web would undermine newspapers' future.
And Singleton said he once agreed with those who predicted the Internet would be a fad and have little long-term impact, but described himself as a "reformed skeptic."
"It all comes back to the power of our local connection," he told attendees at the annual convention of the West Virginia Press Association. "We're starting to understand that reading a newspaper and surfing the Web are not 'either-or' propositions."
Denver-based MediaNews is the seventh-largest newspaper group in the United States and owns the Charleston Daily Mail. Singleton also is chairman of the Newspaper Association of America and a member of The Associated Press board of directors.

Afghanistan enjoys Independence Day amid violent threats
The Associated Press
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — Giant tents rose from dusty lots and colored lights were hung across busy intersections yesterday in a flurry of last-minute preparations for Independence Day as police fanned across the city amid a heightened threat of violence.
Today marks Afghanistan's 83rd anniversary of the end of British colonial rule. It will be the first time Kandahar, the former Taliban stronghold and the country's second largest city, has celebrated Independence Day in more than two decades. In Kabul, the Taliban revived Independence Day celebrations in 2000.
"We are organizing the celebration to show people that we have succeeded in our goal. This is a sign that there is no al-Qaida, no Taliban in Kandahar. We want to show Afghanistan and the world that this region is the safest region," said Mayor Abdullah Popal.
Late last week, police had issued a warning that the celebrations could be targeted for attacks by members of the Taliban or fundamentalist Muslim group Hizb-e-Islami headed by warlord Gulbuddin Helmatyar.
Leaders in the capital of Kabul announced the cancelation of their main military parade last week, citing financial reasons. However, security concerns have been paramount with the recent assassination of the country's vice president and the discovery of a would-be car bomber.
Popal said Kandahar never considered killing the celebration, but it has tightened up security. Police have been meticulously searching all cars heading into the city, trisking passengers for ammunition and weapons. Checkpoints have been set up throughout Kandahar.
"Nobody can completely stop these incidents, but we are ready." he said.
On Sunday, city workers were busystringing up colored lights across dusty intersections. Black, red and green national flags flew from the city's main gates, already plastered with pictures of President Hamid Karzai and former king Zaher Shah.
Popal said Governor Gul Agha Sherzal, who was putting in personal funds to help finance the celebration, was considering whether to extend the three days of celebration by another two days.
The mayor said he expects tens of thousands of people will turn out, many coming from the countryside to join in the festivities.
Ailing pope mentions his death at Mass
The Associated Press
KRAKOW, Poland — In a tearful farewell Mass in his beloved Krakow, Pope John Paul II told more than 2 million Poles on yesterday that he would like to return one day — but "this is entirely in God's hands."
The alling, 82 year-old pope, brushing aside any notion he might step down while making his ninth papal trip to his home land, grew weaker during the three-hour service until adoring throngs raised his spirits by chanting his name.
The Polish pilgrimage has been both a trip down memory lane for the pope — who visited his old house, the quarry where he labored during the Nazi occupation and his family's graves — and an opportunity to underline Poland's deeply Catholic traditions as it moves to join heavily secular Western Europe.
"God bless you," he said to applause from the vast throng filling the Blonia meadows. Then, choosing his words carefully, he said, "I would like to add 'until next time' but this is entirely in God's hands."
Most of all, the pilgrimage has emphasized Poland's extraordinary bond with its favorite son — the first Polish pope, who successfully challenged communism.
"You are great. We love you. Stay with us," the crowd shouted.
"I say, you are telling me to desert Rome!" John Paul responded with tears in his eyes.
Many in the crowd, fearing it would be the noppe's last visit, were teary-eyed, too.
The crowd was the biggest for a papal Mass since 4 million people attended a 1995 service in Manila, Philippines. Previous record crowds in Poland have numbered around 1 million since John Paul began returning to his homeland after assuming the papacy in 1978.
John Paul looked uncomfortable sitting on the altar in green robes as temperatures reached the low 80s. His hands trembled and he often slurred his words, symptoms of Parkinson's disease, during the long ceremony that included the beatification of four Poles — three priests and a nun.
One of those beatified was an archbishop of Warsaw, Zyumant Szeszegy
Felinski, who was deported to Russia in 1863 by Warsaw's then-czarist rulers as punishment for his loyalty to the Vatican. He remained in exile for 20 years and never was allowed to regain his position in Warsaw before dying in 1895.
John Paul warned Poles of dangers posed when man "puts himself in God's place" — referring to genetic engineering and euthanasia — and by encroachments on traditional church teaching.
"When the noisy propaganda of liberalism, of freedom without truth or responsibility, grows stronger in our country, too, the shepherds of the church cannot fail to proclaim the one fall-proof philosophy of freedom, which is the truth of the cross of Christ," the pope said.
The message reaches a nation increasingly soured on a capitalist system that has created social and economic disparities, and plays into growing sentiments among conservative Catholics that political decisions made on issues such as abortion in order to integrate Poland with Western Europe will spoil their country.
The crowd responded to his homily with calls of "Thank you."
In the hours before the Mass, the arriving Polish faithful overflowed the sprawling Blonia meadows.
Many pilgrims traveled hours in small parish groups on hoses and trains for the Mass, carrying food and bed rolls to catch a few hours of sleep after arriving in the early morning hours. Some strummed guitars and played drums, creating a festival atmosphere as they streamed passed vendors grilling meats and selling stools, hats and papal souvenirs.
Arriving for the Mass, John Paul circled the crowd in his "popemobile" as pilgrims song choruses of "Poland loves you, Krakow loves you," a song written for a planned Mass at Blonia in 1999 that the pope canceled because he had the flu.
"I have constantly tears in my eyes today. I'm afraid I'll cry when I see him passing. It's such a distinction from God that the pope is Polish," said Magda Fidej, 52, from Krakow.
John Paul's four-day visit ends today when he visits a sanctuary 27 miles outside Krakow. He is scheduled to depart for Rome in the early evening.
Asia monsoon season leaves thousands dead
The Associated Press
PATNA, India — Deadly snakes slithered in floodwaters as 24 people in eastern India died from bites, drowning or being crushed by crumbling houses as rain and raging floods wreaked havoc in South Asia, officials said Sunday.
The latest deaths in India's Bihar state mean 935 people in Bangladesh, India and Nepal have died since the monsoon season began in June. About 23 million people in the neighboring nations have been displaced.
In China, the death toll from summer storms approached 1,000 as torrential rain trigger landslides and floods, particularly in the central and southern provinces.
The India deaths, which occurred over the past three days in far-flung areas, raise the toll in Bihar to 300.
"We have received some delayed reports of deaths. These include drowning, snake bites and house collapse," said Manoranjan, an undersecretary at the Bibar state's Relief and Rehabilitation Department.
Rains continued there Sunday, flooding major rivers, he said. In the worst areas, army helicopters dropped food packets to marooned villages.
Nearly 16 million people have been displaced by flooding in Bihar, where 338,000 houses have collapsed, officials said.
Weather officials have forecast more rains in India next week.
Nepal has suffered the highest death toll
at 424. But the government said the weather has improved in the past few days, and there have been no new reports of damage or casualties.
Across the border in Bangladesh, more than 2,000 displaced people gathered late Saturday outside a government office at Galandba town, 120 miles north of the capital Dhaka, demanding food or work.
Meanwhile, swollen rivers swamped new villages and displaced another 10,000 people, relief officials said Sunday. The monsoon floods, the country's worst in four years, have killed 157 people and displaced or stranded nearly 7 million in this delta nation of 130 million people.
Floods are common in Bangladesh, which
has nearly 250 rivers, most of them shared by neighboring India and Nepal. The rivers originate in the Himalayas and run across India before draining into the Bay of Bengal.
Two rounds of floods caused by heavy rains already have inundated one-third of Bangladesh. But the rivers that receded last week started rising again.
In the third round of floods, nearly 10,000 people were left homeless Saturday in Patuakhalkii and Pabna districts.
The Flood Forecasting and Warning Center in Dhaka warned conditions are likely to deteriorate next week because of expected rains.
The rivers in the country's three basins continued rising Sunday, the center said. But the water levels are still below the flood peak.

Journalist attempted escape before being slain, police say
The Associated Press
KARACHI, Pakistan — Daniel Pearl, a correspondent for The Wall Street Journal, was slain by an Arab after he tried to escape from kidnappers who seized him eight days earlier, police said Sunday.
Two investigators, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the information was gleaned from three men who led police in May to a body that was identified by DNA tests as Pearl.
The three — Naeem Bukhari, Fazal Karim and Zubair Chishti — have not been charged in the Pearl case and Pakistani authorities have not even acknowledged publicly that they are in custody.
Pearl, 38, was kidnapped Jan. 23 in Karachi while researching links between Pakistani Islamic extremists and Richard C. Reid, who was arrested in December on a flight from Paris to Miami with explosives in his shoe.
Miami with suspicions. The three men were arrested as the trial of four other alleged kidnappers was under way. The four were later convicted and one of them, Britishborn Islamic militant Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, was sentenced to death
by hanging. The others received life sentences. All four have appealed.
According to the two police officers, the abduction began on the night of Jan. 23 when Saeed telephoned his accomplices and ordered them to pick up Pearl in front of the Village Restaurant.
in front of the images. Pearl was put in one car, which was followed by a second containing three other kidnappers. The two vehicles followed Bukhari, who led the convoy on a motorcycle to the shack where Pearl was to be held.
Police said that on the sixth day, Pearl tried to escape as he was being led to the toilet. However, he was seized by Karim and Chishti, who beat him and shot him in the leg.
The struggle made so much noise that students at a nearby Islamic school run out onto the roof to see what was happening, police said.
what was happening,poor.
A day after the escape attempt, police said. Bukhari told his fellow kidnappers that they had to kill Pearl, although the officers said it was unclear who gave the order for his murder.
murder.
The kidnappers waited a day while they deliberated issuing a ransom demand, the officers said. On the
ninth day of the kidnapping, three Arabs, whom the suspects believed to have Yemenis, were brought to the hideout, the police said. The two officers said the Arabs were said to have associates of Ramzi Yousef
- the imprisoned mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
Police said the kidnappers began asking Pearl a series of questions about his religion and his background as one of the Arabs filmed it with a video camera.
Mubaraki said. Suddenly, Karim seized Pearl's hands and one of the Arabs slit his throat, the officers said. The actual murder was supposed to have been recorded but "the cameraman lost his nerve," one of the policemen she了 videotape was later sent to the U.S. Consulate in Karachi, confirming Pearl was dead.
The effect of the new allegations on the case against Saeed and the three others is unclear. The government had said it was looking for seven others in the case. Although the new account does not exonerate Saeed, some details are different from those presented by the prosecution at the initial trial.
Saudi, U.S. relationship strained
The Associated Press
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — On a bliss-
tering 120-degree morning in August,
a Saudi Arabian Airlines pilot named
Sultan Al-Duwehi took his place in line
for a visa outside the U.S. Embassy.
Being made to stand outside and wait was a new experience for many of the two dozen Saudis in line. Since Sept. 11 the rules are stricter. No longer can Saudis leave the paperwork to their travel agent; everyone between ages 12 and 70 has to be interviewed by a consular officer, and approval can take more than five weeks.
"This is too much — over and beyond disgusting," said al-Duweihi. "Saudiis are being collectively punished for the actions of a few."
ished for the accounts
He was referring to Saudi-born
Osama bin Laden and to the 19
hijackers, 15 of them Saudis, who
killed nearly 3,000 people on Sept.
11.
Americans would argue that new precautions are only natural. But
Saudis feel betrayed by a country where many studied, vacationed and did business, and which they looked to as a bastion of the freedoms and human rights they long for.
"People see the visa line as a sign that says, 'Hey we hate you, we regard you with suspicion, we don't want you,'" said Khaled M. Batarfi, a managing editor of the Saudi newspaper Al-Madina and a journalism graduate of the University of Oregon.

But at the nongovernmental level the new frostiness has been evident in one incident after another: Rudy Giuliani, as New York mayor, spurning a
donation to the city from a Saudi prince; relatives of Sept. 11 victims suing Saudi officials, banks and charities, claiming they helped finance Osama bin Laden's network and the terror attacks; a U.S. defense think-tank analyst suggests the United States target Saudi oil fields and financial assets unless the kingdom does more to fight terrorism.

with the relationship.
It could be that the Saudis, mindful of the tightrope they walk between the West and the Islamic militant movement, don't want to make their cooperation too public. Rumsfeld hinted as much when he said that if countries are helping "and they'd prefer not to discuss it, that's their choice, and we can live with that, too."

Sports section sees changes for the fall
With each new school year come new beginnings, and that will certainly be true for The University Daily Kansan sports section this fall.
8
KU
We plan on moving beyond just our normal stories that preview and review games by bringing you more in-depth features on athletes and their lives. Along with telling you how many catches Byron Gasaway had, we also would like to tell you his story of moving up the ranks of jahawk receivers.
Speaking of features, we will continue with the club and intramural coverage we began last spring.
The goal is one or more features on a team each week by our clubs and intramurals beat writer, Steve Vockrodt. We still want to cover the actual games, and this is where you can help.
The Kansan is starting a correspondents program that will give students with little previous writing experience the chance to write for the paper. If you are interested in covering some exciting rugby, lacrosse, cycling or any of the other club and intramural teams at the University, please e-mail me or associate sports editor Jessica Tims (jitms@kansan.com) or call 864-4858. We would also be happy to consider any other sports-related submissions brought in by students.
If you have any questions, comments or suggestions for the sports section, just send Jessica or myself an e-mail as we always like to hear from our readers. The Kansan is the students' paper, and we like to make sure we live up to that.
Chronister is a Lawrence senior in journalism.
There also will be two other new ways to interact with the sports department this fall
These are the new features we plan on bringing our readers this semester, but more may come up as the semester progresses and we see what works and what doesn't.
First, all sports comments called into the fan-favorite Free for All will be placed in the sports section on page 2 starting Thursday. This will allow almost all of our sports content to be in the sports section as well as open up more room for non-sports Free for All calls and letters to the editor on the opinion page. So if you call in to say how you think the Jayhawk football team will do with Mark Mangino at the helm or you want to talk about how SlamBall is a joke (more on that in a later column), make sure to check the sports section for your comment.
We also will have an online opinion poll each week, usually on an issue related to Jaya-hawk sports but sometimes a national topic. A new question will be posted online and in the paper each Monday starting next week. The results will be printed and posted the following Monday, along with a new question.
We also will be using our Web site to a greater degree this semester, starting today with audio clips from our Heard on the Hill questions about the Kansas football team and the pending major league baseball strike. Later in the semester, we should have interviews with our columnists and Kansas athletes available to listen to online as well.
Another new addition to the sports section is While We Were Out, a collection of news that happened while The Kansan wasn't publishing. Today's paper has a fairly extensive and long version because it's been so long since the last summer issue, but a shorter version will run each Monday — assuming there's enough news to warrant it — to catch readers up on news they may have missed while celebrating their brief respite from classes.
Kansas teams optimistic
There are high hopes when it comes to University of Kansas athletics this year. Mark Mangino takes over the reins of a stalled football program, the volleyball team lost just one player from last year and the soccer squad is coming off its first NCAA tournament appearance. Read all about these teams and the rest of the Jayhawk athletic squads in our Back to School sports section.
Mangino, who won a national title as an assistant coach at the University of Oklahoma, will lead the Jawahres on the gridiron, but the loss of Harrison Hill won't help the squad's chance of a national title any. See page 2B.
■ Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich were named finalists for the John Wooden Award as well as Playboy All-Americans and hope to lead the men's basketball team back to the Final Four. See page 4B.
Four of the top eight teams in the ESPN/USA Today Top 25 are in the Big 12 Conference as are four of the top 10 in the AP Top 25. See page 3B.
- Women's basketball coach Marian Washington will rely on youth and exuberance in attempting to not repeat last year's winless conference season. See page 14B.

New baseball coach excited about season
By Steve Schmidt
Kansan sportswriter
Trading in the warm, sunny weather of California for the humidity and the blustery winds of Kansas doesn't sound like much of a deal to most Midwesterners.
Price, though, 1,400 miles with his family from their residence in San Luis Obispo, Calif., to the University of Kansas, the Sweet Home. Ore, native has found a new home in Lawrence.
For new Kansas baseball coach Ritch
Prize, though, it's a deal of a lifetime.
"I consider it a real honor to be a coach at the University of Kansas," Price said. "I'm so excited about the opportunity to coach and compete in the Big 12. We want to make the NCAA tournament. We want to start with that goal each and every season, and I'm looking
forward to that challenge."
10 years to the challenge.
Price came to Kansas from Cal-Poly San Luis Obispo, where in eight seasons under his reins the Mustangs went from a mediocre team to a solid program, posting three consecutive 30-victory seasons.
Before Cal-Poly, Price also had success stories at De Anza Community College in Cupertino, Calif., and Menlo College in Atherton, Calif., winning numerous conference championships with both schools.
"I'm excited more than anything," said junior outfielder Ryan Baty when Price was named as new coach. "From the end of the year until now, there's been a lot of excitement to get the thing going and get things rolling."
Price hopes to turn that excitement into success at Kansas on a far bigger stage than he's used to—the Big 12, which Price considers to be one of the top three conferences in
the nation.
"My whole career I've taken teams with losing records and turned them around," Price said. "But this is the first time ever when I've come to a school with such a heritage and tradition with a big-time name."
Price and his family have been busy making the transition from California to Kansas.
Price, his wife, Cindy, and their three sons Ritchie, Robby and Ryne, packed everything Wednesday, hit the road for two full travel days and finally settled into their new place Saturday.
"It's a been really crazy and emotional time." Price said.
On top of the moving process, the new coach has been keeping active on the recruiting trail, showing up to numerous summer

Football coach has high expectations Heard on the Hill
26 1
John Nowak/Kansan
By Ryan Wood
Kansan senior sportswriter
Mark Mangino, the new head coach of the Kansas football team, is making one thing very clear.
"Our expectations are high," he said. "That's the only way to go."
Earlier this month, another critical blow deflated the Kansas bubble.
"I couldn't task for more," Mangino said. "They have worked hard. I feel like there's a greater sense of pride among the players."
Even with significant losses on both sides of the ball from last year's 3-8 team, Mangino and his coaching staff are expecting improvement in 2002. Mangino said the team had made improvements in a couple key areas with two weeks remaining before the season opener.
Senior wide receiver Harrison Hill, who was granted a rare sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA, was forced to leave the team after a recurrence of chronic dehydration during the first weekend of practice.
Despite the optimism, the Jayhawks have reason for concern. Several key factors in last year's unsuccessful run, notably linebacker Algie Atkinson, defensive tackle Nate Dwyer and offensive tackle Justin Hartwig, have been lost to graduation.
"I have dealt with heat and dehydration problems since high school." Hill said. "The doctors have tried everything they can to help me get over the problem but it keeps getting worse. I especially struggled this summer, and need to look out for the best interest of my health."
Hill, one of four Jawahk co-captains, leaves Kansas with 108 career receptions for 1,535 yards. He fell 26 receptions short of becoming Kansas's all-time leader.
"I am not going to put him out there in harm's way," Mangino said. "This has been an ongoing problem. I'm sensitive to it because I am a football coach here and it's my job to take very good care of these players and also because I am the parent of a teenage son."
Hill had been plagued by backsets throughout his collegiate career. His freshman season ended abruptly in the second game when he suffered a broken ankle making a block. He was granted his first medical redshirt, and returned in 1998 to start 10 of 11 games despite a nagging hamstring injury. Last season was cut short when he fractured his scapula returning a punct against UCLA.
"He has not been able to keep fluids in his body," Mangino said. "He has fought through it, but at this point in time he can't get over the hump."
All along, Hill suffered through dehydration, a problem that landed him in the hospital on more than one occasion.
Hill's departure will mean more

Farmer Jayhawk Harrison Hill breaks a Donnie Amiad tackle during a spring scrimage, playing time for the rest of a deep receiving corps. Senior Byron Gasaway is now the only returning starter, and will be joined by sophomore Brandon Rideau, junior Derick Mills and senior Marecellus Jones.
"We have so many guys that can come in at anytime," Gasaway said. "Last year, we had a lot of injuries."

Gasaway caught 18 passes for 200 yards a season ago, including receptices in nine different games. This season, it is uncleared whom he will be catching passes from. With Mario Kinsey's departure soon after Mangino's arrival last winter, junior Zach Dyer returns as the frontrunner for the job.

Big 12 teams sure to dominate again on national stage
By Doyle Murphy Kansan staff writer
If the recently released polls are any indication, the Big 12 Conference will be a dominant force in college football again this season.
Last season four Big 12 teams finished in the top 10 of both the Associated Press Top 25 college football poll and the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Top 25 college football coaches' poll, and eight teams in the conference played in postseason bowl games.
Huskers
This season continues where the last left off. Once again the top four teams in the Big 12 assume their familiar role as four of the top 10 teams in the nation.
Both polls place defending national champion Miami in the top spot but agree on little else. ESPN/USA Today ranks Texas number two followed by Oklahoma, Florida State, Tennessee, Colorado, Florida, Nebraska, Washington and Michigan.
The AP named Oklahoma number two, Florida State three, Texas four and Tennessee five. Florida leads the second five followed by Colorado, Georgia, Washington and Nebraska. Texas &M also cracked the AP Top 25 at number 23.
Presison鹅 are entirely speculative, but AP and ESPN/USA Today

polls are figured into the Bowl Championship Series format, which chooses the participants in college football's championship game.
Britton Banowsky, associate commissioner for the Big 12, said high rankings position teams for a run at the title.
"If you're outside of the polls now it's going to be difficult to be in contention at the end of the season," Banowsky said.
Texas is one of those teams hoping to play for the national title in January, and coach Mack Brown said the polls are an indication of the strength of the conference.
"After looking at the way the Big 12 teams ended the season last year and the way we're starting out in the polls this year, it's obvious that in six short years it has become the number
one football conference in the country." Brown said.
Texas learned first hand last season how difficult it is to come out of a Big 12 season unscant. They lost the Big 12 championship to Colorado 39-37 after beating them 41-7 in the regular season.
"It's a tough league, and I'm not sure that it isn't harder in some ways to win the Big 12 championship than it is a national championship," Brown said.

Former Texas coach cleared of charges
Staff and wire reports
AUSTIN, Texas — Former Texas basketball coach Tom Penders was cleared of charges he defamed his former assistant's reputation following a 1998 grade scandal.
A 12-member jury denied each of former Texas assistant Eddie Oran's claims Tuesday. Only 10 members of the jury had to sign off on the verdict in the civil case. Two jurors did not sign the verdict.
Oran sought as much as $900,000 in damages for loss of income,loss of his job at Texas,personal humiliation and mental anguish and suffering.
Penders received $900,000 in his resignation settlement with the university.
Oran sued Penders over statements Penders made in 1999 about the improper release of a Texas player's grades to a radio station. He claimed Penders smeared his reputation, keeping him from getting another job.
Penders did not take Oran with him to a new coaching job at George Washington University.
Oran originally took the blame for releasing芦凯 Axell's grades, a violation of federal student privacy laws. in March 1998.
Penders has since left George Washington.
Oran later changed his story and said Penders' orchestrated the release. Oran's claims first surfaced publicly in depositions taken for a lawsuit Axtell filed against the school.
Penders left Texas shortly afterward.
Jurors were not asked to decide whether Penders was responsible for the release of Axell's grades. But Penders said the verdict should resolve the conflict once and for all.
"From the very beginning I told the truth," Penders said. "I just I felt it was a closed issue."
Oran, left the courtroom without comment.
He later released a statement saying he believed testimony at the trial proved he was telling the truth about the grade release.
"I am confident that the public can now see the full spectrum of events as they occurred," he said.
Big 12 news roundup
A&M president
apologizes for article
The article, titled "Worst Atmosphere" called Tech fans "uglier than the barren stretch of dirt some West Texans call a city" for their role in a brawl after Tech defeated A&M 12-0 last season. Following the game Tech fans tore down the goal post and tried to force it into an A&M student section. The article went on to say Tech fans were "classless clowns" and "No school in America better deserves Bobby Knight than Texas Tech."
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Texas A&M President Robert Gates has publicly apologized to Texas Tech for an article that appeared in the A&M media guide.
Following the release of the media guide Gates sent a letter of apology to Tech president David J. Schmidt.
"I want to express my personal regret over the inclusion of disparaging remarks about Texas Tech University and Lubbock in Texas A&M's football media guide." Gates said in the letter. "It was a lamentable mistake, for which a public apology already has been made."
Gates said new media guides will be issued without the article.
Colorado's Bloom must make decision
BOULDER, Colo. — Jeremy Bloom must comply with NCAA rules that prohibit him drawing money from skiing endorsements and playing football at the University of Colorado, a district judge said Thursday. Bloom, who represented the U.S. in the Salt Lake City Olympics, continues to practice with Colorado, and scored two touchdowns in a scrimmage Saturday.
Professional skiers depend on revenue from endorsements to cover training and equipment costs. Bloom said without the endorsements he would have to quit skiing.
"It's extremely disappointing for me," Bloom said. "These are my childhood dreams that I was able to pursue and work a lifetime for and
when your future is put in other people's hands and it gets denied, it's very difficult. But I stood up for myself and what I believe in and I'm proud of that."
Bloom is expected to announce his future plans sometime today.
Missouri's Farmer fights for starting job
COLUMBIA Mo. — After losing Missouri's starting quarterback job, senior Kirk Farmer made a claim for it Saturday as he threw for 250 yards and three touchdowns during the Tigers' first scrimmage of the season.
Freshman Brad Smith, who has a tenuous hold on the starting quarterback job, threw for 161 yards and one touchdown. Freshman Sonny Riccio, listed behind Smith with Farmer, threw for 121 yards with two interceptions.
Senior wide receiver Justin Gage caught two touchdown passes—one from Smith and one from Farmer Sophomore running back Tyrone Roberson also had a pair of touchdowns, scoring on runs of 1-yard and 6 yards.
Coach Gary Pinkel penciled in Smith at the top of the depth chart when spring practice ended.
Farmer started nine games last season and has started 14 games in his career. He was the No. I quarterback at the beginning of spring practice. In the Black and Gold game to end spring practice, Farmer was 11-of-18 for 118 yards with one interception.
Smith was 12-of-21 for 89 yards and one touchdown in the spring game.

Jayhawks ranked No.2 in first preseason poll
With three months until the first tip-off of the 2002-2003 basketball season, the Kansas men's team already has begun to tally the preseason awards.
After a postseason run to the NCAA Final Four last season, ESPN and FOX Sports have both picked the Jayhawks No. 2 in the first poll. Arizona, ranked No. 1, will make a trip to Lawrence in the fall and try to get revenge for its 105-97 loss to the Jayhawks last season in Tucson.
Top returnees Kirk Hinrich and Nick Collison, who both chose to remain at Kansas for their senior campaigns, will quickly get accustomed to hearing their names together this season.
These two seniors are among 50 collegiate players named as early preseason candidates for the Wooden Award.
Frank Burlison of FOX Sports says that Hinrich is his "oh-so-very early choice as the 2003 John R. Wooden Award winner."
Hirrich and Collison are also among 10 collegiate players who were named 2002-03 Playboy Presseason All-Americans. The two semi-
iors spent a week in July attending photo shoots, clinics and a banquet in Chicago. The November issue of Playboy will feature the pair with the rest of the team, which includes fellow Big 12 Conference players T.J. Ford of Texas and Hollis Price of Oklahoma.
Eric Chenowith was the last Jayhawk to earn that honor, prior to the 1999-00 season.
Kansas' two superstars also travel to California in early August to help with the prestigious Michael Jordan basketball camp.
The summer allowed little relaxation time for the remainder of the Jayhawls as well.
Sophomore Keith Langford competed on the NIT All-Stars team in Canada.
He joined Collison and sophomores Aaron Miles and Wayne Simien at the Nike All-American camp in Indianapolis.
Collison will continue to play after the beginning of the semester, as he is an alternate on the 2002 USA World Championship team competing Aug. 29- Sept. 8 in Indianapolis.
Junior Bryant Nash, who will
switch jersey numbers from 15 to 33 this season, was Scandinavian-bound early in August as a member of the Bif 12 All-Stars team.
The layhawks will need to use their summer preparations to survive this season's grueling schedule.
In addition to home games against heavyweights Arizona and UCLA, Kansas will face Oregon, Tulsa and California on the road.
But first, Kansas will compete in the Preseason NIT Tournament in November.
Note
Wyoming has been added to the team's schedule, according to esnn.com.
The Cowboys will visit the Jayhawks on Jan. 15, which will be televised nationally on ESPN.
Wyoming, was 22-9 overall, last season, winning the Mountain West Conference with an 11-3 record and reaching the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

South Carolina gears up, coach says he's confident in new players

COLUMBIA, S.C. — After leading the South Carolina men's basketball team through the longest season in school history (37 games), head coach Dave Odom is on the eve of assembling the squad for his second season in Columbia.
Odon spoke about his returning players, new signees and the benefits of last season's postseason appearance in a SEC summer teleconference call Thursday.
Kansas sophomore Wayne Simien is expected to help lead the Jayhawks this season. ESPN and Fox Sports have both ranked Kansas No 2 in preseason polls.
Odom sensed a change in his team as it makes off-season preparations for the 2002-2003 campaign. "The difference this year is the players' attitudes," said Odom. "We did not have to search them out and encourage them this season, and our run to the NIT finals helped."
"They tasted it and wanted more, they made themselves available to the strength coach and played a lot of

pickup ball." Odom added." Plus, our players have worked on their skills as well. Last year at this time, it was more difficult for the players to see why these types of things are necessary."
Odom feels confident about his returning players and is especially buoyed by the late season heroes of Tony Kitchings and Rolando Howell. Kitchings has kept in shape over the summer months, but Odom said the rising senior has focused on things beyond basketball.
"He's been working hard academically and wants to put himself in place for graduation, plus he's getting married August 3, so it'a big summer for Tony." Odd commented.
year."
The Gamecocks will have to make up for the leadership and outside shooting supplied by the departed Jamel Bradley and Aaron Lucas. Odom looks to rising senior Chuck Eidson to assume more of a pivotal role after coming back from a knee injury last season. "Chuck is stronger, has more confidence and his knee is just fine and getting stronger," Odom said. "He is going to assume the role of leadership that Lucas had las"
While Odom believes Eidson will develop into a floor leader for Carolina, he was reluctant to dub him starting "point-forward," a position Odom experimented with last year. "Playing Chuck at the point is a failsale option," "Odom said." "(But) I'm not convinced putting him at the point will help the team by putting a ceiling on everyone else."
In an effort to replace Bradley, USC's all-time leader in three-point shooting. Odom signed guards Jarod Gerald and Terance Kinsey. Gerald may split time with Michael Boynton at the point guard position while Kinsey is looked at as more of a pure scorer.
Odom closed his teleconference with a reflection on the differences between this offseason at Carolina as opposed to his days at Wake Forest. "In the ACC, they'd recruit recruiting classes and report when a coach sneezed, and that was a product of the proximity of the schools." Odom laughed. "I like it the way it is now, because I don't worry about the other teams."

"We're going to sell the Kansas experience," Price said. "We're going to sell the entire college experience

Soccer team aims for success
Higher expectations tougher conference fuel team's drive
By Nikki Overfelt
Kansan sportswriter
The KU women's soccer team has a hard act to follow after an all-time best season record of 13-7 and its first NCAA tournament appearance.
But coach Mark Francis said he is not worried.
Francis also said that getting back to the NCAA tournament is an obvious and attainable goal.
"We don't feel any pressure at all," he said. "Pressure is what we put on ourselves. We are excited."

"I think if we do things right and take it one game at a time, we can do that," he said.

Francis said this year's team will have the challenge of meeting raised expectations after last year's success.
"This year we are not going to surprise anybody," he said. "Our challenge is going to be not taking anyone else for granted."
That could be difficult, Francis said, because the Big 12 Conference would provide more competition this year.
"The Big 12 will be even tougher this year," he said. "We are better, but everyone else is too."
Another challenge this team will face is the loss of three seniors from last year's team. Francis said playing without Natalie Hoogveld and Melanie Shroeder would be tough, not to mention forward Hilla Rantala, last season's lead scorer.
The Kansas soccer team saw its first NCAA tournament birth last season and will try to make the tournament again. They will have to do it without the efforts of Pardale Brunner.
Francis has plenty of players to fill the void, though. He said one of his key forwards would be sophomore Rachel Giffillan, who started just three games last year but was the team's No. 3 scorer and best forward for the team in the spring.
Along with Smith and Karfonta, Holly Ryder, midfielder, and Jessica Smith, forward, are incoming recruits. Ryder, Caroline Smith and Jessica Smith are all high school All-Americans.
Nikki Wahle, senior defender and co-captain, believes that the addition of these freshmen gives the team more of a chance to make the NCAA tournament. She said the freshmen were confident despite their inexperience
"The freshmen came in strong," she said. "They are not shy to step up and comete."
Besides replacing last year's seniors, the team must also replace senior defender and midfielder Pardis Brown.
Brown is out for the season after suffering too many concussions. Stacy Leeper, sophomore defender, is also indefinitely with back problems.
Despite these losses and the rigor of two-a-day practices which started Wednesday, the team was excited about the upcoming season.
should show improvement from last year.
Brianna Valento, senior defender and co-captain, said that the team was off to a good start and believed they
Lindsay Hunting, senior midfielder and captain, said the team was feeling more confident and should have more depth than last year.
Francis said that practices have been going well so far.
"I'm very impressed with the level of intensity and how they have supported one another," he said.
The team will begin its quest to return to the NCAA tournament Aug. 23 in an exhibition game against Southwest Missouri State in Springfield, Mo. The team's first regular season game will be Aug. 30 against UNLV.

Two top starters leave Nebraska-Omaha squad
OMAHA, Neb. — Two sizeable gaps have been left in the Nebraska-gaima women's soccer team's attack as two of last season's top three goal-scorsers will not return to the squad for the 2002 season.
Brandy McSorley has been
declared academically ineligible for the upcoming season. McSorley led the Mavericks last season with 22 goals, 53 points and five game-winning goals, two of which came in the North Central Conference postseason tournament.
In addition, Katie Hobbs has left the team for undisclosed personal reasons. Hobbs had 15 goals and 33 points during the 2001 season.
Maverick head coach Don Klostermann said losing the pair would present a challenge to his team, but not one that is insurmountable.

The Gateway, via U-wire
The University of Nebraska-Omaha
"Losing Brandy and Katie equals losing 35 goals from last season." Klosterman said. "It will be a challenge to replace what they brought to the table, but I think it's a challenge we can deal with. Having (Stephan) Kruse and our other players returning
will help us, and as long as we stay with our regular approach and be aggressive. I think this is something we can overcome."
Hobbs was also one of three Maverick players to start every one of UNO's 21 games last season. McSorley was tied for second on the team in assists with nine, even with sophomore Molly Herzberg and three behind junior Stephanie Kirby.
Concussions end KU player's career
By Nikki Overfelt
Kansan sportswriter
Brown said that she has suffered so many concussions that she can get one very easily and unexpectedly now. She said that she gets concussions from a combination of running around and heading the ball.
Pardis Brown, defender midfielder for the women's soccer team, will be watching the games from the sideline this season.
Not being able to play her senior season is a big blow for her.
Brown suffered her seventh concussion while playing a game for the Kansas City Mystics, a National Soccer League team, three weeks ago. If a put a stop to her season and her participation in competitive soccer.
"I'm very disappointed," Brown said. "It (her senior season) just doesn't feel complete. Going from being captain to not playing at all is really hard."
Replacing Brown will be hard for
"it's hard to be in the atmosphere," she said.
But coach Mark Francis is more concerned for Brown personally than for the void he must fill on the field.

her team. She started 15 of 17 games and was co-captain last season.
"It's very disappointing, more for Pardis than for any other reason," he said. "It's going to affect the team, obviously, but I was more disappointed for her."
But even that is difficult for her when she cannot be out on the field playing the sport she loves.
Brown plans on being around and helping out with the team as much as possible this season.
Wizards lose to Crew, stay last in conference
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —jeff Cunningham and Edson Buddle each scored two goals as the Columbus Crew beat the Kansas City Wizards 4-0 last night.
The win kept the Crew (10-10-4) even with the Chicago Fire at the top of the Eastern Conference. With the loss, their third at home this season, the Wizards (8-8-8) remain at the bottom of the Western conference.
Cunningham opened the scoring for the Crew in the 11th minute, taking a pass across the top of the box from Brian Masseonneuve and putting it past Wizards reserve goalkeeper Bo Oshoniye. Kansas City's usual goal-keeper, Tony Meola, was serving a red
card suspension, his second of the season.
Oshoniji gave up his second goal in the 42nd minute, when Buddle beat Wizards defender Chris Brunt at the top of the box and put it into the right side of the net.
Buddle scored his seventh goal of the year in the 58th minute on a cross from Brian West.
Cunningham's 13th goal of the year came three minutes later. As Buddle charged across the top of the box with the ball, he got a pass off just before he collided with Wizards defender Diego Gutierrez. In the confusion, Cunningham was able to strike the ball past Osonhiyi.
The Wizards rarely threatened, despite outshooting the Crew 16-11.

Volleyball team ready to succeed
Coach expects improvements this coming fall
By Jason Hwang Kansan sportswriter
The University of Kansas volleyball coach expects his team to improve this year with a few new faces and an increased focus on practice.
The squand, which lost just one senior, sater Molly LaMere, will bring in three freshman to join its 11 returning players.
Coming off of a 16-15 record (6-14 in the Big 12 Conference), fifth-year coach Ray Bechard said the key to improvement from last season was simply to elevate the team's fundamental skills.
"We spent most of our time passing and serving." Bechard said. "I have found that most great teams have a solid basis in the fundamentals."
Kansan File Photo
Jamie Morningstar, senior defensive specialist, echoed Beehard's thoughts and said keeping things simple and taking them day-by-day would be important.
Bechard said despite the great emphasis on fundamentals and wanting to improve from last season, the practices had only been 90 minutes. which allowed the team to concentrate more.
Even though practices are shorter, senior middle blocker Kylie Thomus said they are still tough.
Thomas said the vigorous summer workouts, which included
weight lifting, running and conditioning as a team, improved the players' physical endurance and teamwork.
Thomas said this was the first time so many Jayhawks had stayed in Lawrence for the summer to prepare for the upcoming season.
Despite losing LaMere to graduation. Bechard said he thought two players could step up and fill the vacated setter's role nicely — freshman Andi Rozum and sophomore Ashley Bechard, the coach's daughter.
"As a sophomore, she has a better sense of the system," Bechard said of his daughter. "We also have Andi Rozum, who brings great athletic talent."
Bechard said the familiarity of the starting line should ease the transition from high school to Division I volleyball. Thomas agrees.
"We try to make her as comfortable as possible," Thomas said. "And the more comfortable she is, the more confident she will be."

Rozum is one of two freshmen on the team, along with middle blocker Iosiane Lima.
The Jayhawks will open their season Aug. 31 at Creighton. The team opens its home season by playing host to the Hampton Inn/Jayhawk Classic at noon on Sept. 13, opening against Southeast Missouri State.

Tennis team rallies to overcome upset

The Kansas tennis team will start its fall season with a sour taste in its mouth.
Kansan File Photr
After finishing with a 16-6 record overall and 9-2 in the Big 12 Conference, the Jayhawks failed to make the NCAA women's tennis tournament. The tournament committee snubbed the team, which also held a No. 1 ranking in its region.
Coach Kilmeny Waterman, who was named Big 12 coach of the year last season, said she hoped to make this year's tournament with solid preparation in the fall.
"The fall is to practice but to be competitive and that will start us on the right foot to win a couple early matches in the spring." Waterman said. "If we would have won some of our first matches last season we would have been in the tournament."
Waterman thinks the team will have the chemistry and experience to become even more competitive this year.
"I am excited for this season because it's my third year with this team, and I'm a lot more comfortable with them," Waterman said.
The Jayhawks will lose their No. 1 single player, Cheryl Mialiah, who was last year's Most Valuable Player, but will return six of eight starters.
Two of the experienced players who return are twin juniors Kristen and Courtney Steinbock — the Jayhawks' top doubles team.
The No. 2 doubles team of junior Emily Haylock and sophomore Paige Brown played strong together and finished the spring season with a 13-4 record. Brown and Haylock capped off the season with a key victory over Texas A&M in the Big 12 Tournament.
Lone senior Kim Lorenz was named the team's most improved player last year, posting a 25-6 singles record. Lorenz will provide the leadership by example for a young Kansas team.
"I just like to play singles," she said.
"And I know there are better players
Sophomore Paige Brown and her teammates will use the fall to "start on the right foot," coach Waterman said. Waterman said getting early wins would help the team reach the NCAA tournament after being snubbed by the selection committee last season.
Canadian freshman Christine Skoda is a new addition to the team and is expected to make an instant impact.
it doubles on our team. When you're the senior you just try to set a good example for the incoming freshmen."
"She is a top Canadian player and has experience along with all-court skills." Waterman said.
The fall season differs from the spring season with the team playing many different tournaments that are not dual matches, though the Jayhawks might find it hard to gain quality practice time during the new season.
The Alvamar Racquet Club, where the team previously practiced and held meets, was recently sold to Bishop Seabury Academy, which will make the club its new building for the private school. The team will now have indoor practices and meets at a yet-to-be-determined facility in Topeka.
The Jayhawks will start practice Sept. 5 and the season begins Sept. 25 against Tulsa and Indiana.

Kansas rowers have been preparing individually all summer for the start of fall practices.
Rowing team pulling for championship bid
Jeremy Krashin
Kansan sportswriter
The team finished an encouraging eighth out of more than 20 teams at the NCAA Central Regional in Oak Ridge, Tenn., and senior Jen Van Ruyven said she felt optimistic come into a new season.
After months of individual workouts, the members of the Kansas rowing team are arriving back in Lawrence with their sights set high.
"We have some new people, and the people from last year have a year more of experience," she said. "We need to be more competitive within the team; we need to push each other more."
Beyond that, Van Ruyen said the team's main goal this year is to get a bid for the NCAA Championships.
The rowers have been working out all summer, and team practices begin Thursday.
The team's make-up is determined at the summer orientation. At each orientation session, coach Bob Catloth recruits incoming freshman to walk-on to the team. The NCAA allows for 20 scholarships to be given out, and the other team members join through the walk-on process.
After losing 11 seniors from last year's squad, Van Ruyen said this year's recruiting was going very well.
"We've gotten over 30 girls who are built for rowing." she said.
The first walk-on race, which is for
newcomers try out for the team, will be on August 28.
Catloth was pleased with the way the team finished last year in Tennessee, and now has his sights set higher for the team.
"Our goal is to get back in the top 25," he said. "We are going to try to work on the mental aspects of sport. We were really prepared physically, but our youth showed up last year. Now, we are working more with upperclassmen, and we are going to be mentally stronger, and a year of experience is going to play into that. Getting a good walk-on class is also very important to us."

New swim coach returns to Kansas, sees potential
By Jeremy Krashin
Kansan sportswinter
The University of Kansas swimming team hopes for the best every year, but this year they are taking extra steps to reach their goals.
With a new head coach and the hours of practice each girl has put in over the summer, team co-captain Stacey Schneider believes they can improve on their fifth place finish in the Big 12 Conference.
"We have a lot of room for improvement this year," she said. "We had a good year last year, but we can be a lot better."
the top spot in the conference.
While the team strives for first place in the Big 12 every year, Schneider said second place is a very realistic goal because of the consistency of the University of Texas in attaining
Head coach Clark Campbell, who graduated from KU in 1993, gives the team another reason to be excited.
"I am very happy about returning home and getting the chance to coach at my alma mater," Campbell said. "This is a very exciting time for Kansas athletics and I look forward to the opportunity of taking the women's swimming program to new heights."
After graduation, Campbell took his first job as head coach, turning West Virginia Wesleyan into a top-10 team in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. He was named NAIA coach of the year in 1995.
Campbell moved on to an assistant coaching job at the University of Minnesota before becoming the head
coach at Evansville in Indiana in 1998.
"We are very pleased to have Clark coming back to the University of Kansas," Athletic Director Al Bohl said. "He has done an outstanding job at Evansville and has helped that program achieve national recognition."
Schneider said most of the swimmers have yet to meet the new head coach, but she and the other co-captains, Heidi Landherr and Kristi Mijeka, met with Campbell for about two hours. Schneider said he left a very positive impression.

Kansas cross country team looks to veterans for leadership
The University of Kansas cross country season began yesterday for 37 Jayhawk runners with practice and a team meeting.
Head coach Stanley Redwine hopes age and experience will translate into improvement.
"My goal is for both the men and the women to run better than last year," Redwine said. "We had some success, but we were a younger team."
The Kansas women return four lettermen from last year. Redwine expects strong leadership from junior Paige Higgins, sophomore Diane Disher and junior Laura Lavoie, who he hopes will be able to step up.
"We look stronger than ever before," Higgins said. "This class came in with the new coaches, and we've developed as a team. I have confidence that everyone can do well."
Last year the women finished 8th at the Big 12 Championships in Norman, Okla. They also took 8th at the NCAA Midwest Regional in Carbondale, Ill. This year Higgins believed most of the runners are in better shape than at this time last year.
On the men's side, Redwine expects returning senior lettermen Mark Menefee and sophomores Chris Jones and Luke Belford to be the top performers.
things went wrong. We were very talented, but we had some bad luck with being sick and injured."
The men's team has been working hard during the summer to get in shape for the season.
"This team has so much potential, we have a lot of talent to draw from," Meneefe said. "Last year too many
"We still have a fairly young team, but most of the guys are starting the season in great shape." Meneffee said.
The cross country season starts at home on Sept. 7. KU will play host to the Bob Timmons Invitational at Rim Rock Farm, northwest of Lawrence.
Last season the men placed 7th at the Big 12 Championships and 9th at the NCAA Midwest Regional.
Odd couple vies for Ohio QB slot
By Paul Shugar
The Post via U-Wire
Ohio State University
ATHENS, Ohio - One is vocal and speaks with authority; the other shuffles his feet and speaks into the floor.
"Right now the quarterback position is wide open," Ohio coach Brian Knorr said. "Ray proved last year he can play at this level and that led to a competitive spring. Dontrell, right now, probably has the leg up, but both are going to get equal reps with the first squad this summer and both
Differences of personality might be the only separation between Ohio football's top-two quarterbacks. The fiery and outspoken, three-year starter Dontrell Jackson and the humble two-year backup Fred Ray both enter Ohio's preseason camp slotted as the No. 1 quarterback, a battle that has been heating up with the summer since spring ball.
Jackson, a senior, has started 30 games in his four year career at Ohio. During this time, Jackson has averaged 57.9 yards per game rushing, and 67.9 ypg in the air.
Before last season's 1-10 finish, Jackson helped Ohio finish 5-6 and 7-4 overall in 1999 and 2000 respectively. In 2000, his 864 yards rushing helped Ohio become the No. 2 rushing team in the nation, Jackson threw for 881 vards that same season.
Always the contrast of Jackson, Ray has had a much shorter track record. Ray joined the team with Jackson, but was redshirted. The next season he played six games in a reserve role, where he rushed 10 times for nine yards and one touchdown. He showed a great ability to pass the ball, hitting eight of his 10 passes for 130 yards and one touchdown.
are slotted as the starter."
had to show what I could do." Ray said. "We are just both good athletes with quick feet and good hands. I just don't think I'm as flashy as he is."
Ray's ability to throw compared to Jackson's ability to run further polarized the two quarterbacks and showed the coaching staff it had two potential starters. However, it was Jackson's good numbers in the 2000 season, both in the air and on the ground, that helped secure the starting spot for him in 2001.
Security in that spot was shaken when Jackson suffered a concussion at the end of a 36-24 loss to Miami on Oct. 20 last season.
"I always knew I could do it. I just
Ray finished the game and ended up starting the next game against Kent State on Oct. 27, due to Jackson's sustained injuries, and post-concussion syndrome. In his first career start, Ray almost led Ohio to its second win of the year.

Junior Chris Marshall watches his drive during a round of practice hitting at Alvamar Country Club. Marshall is hoping to make no lower than second team All-American so that he may turn pro next September.
By Levi Chronister
Kansan sports editor
Three of the five members of the University of Kansas men's golf team return this year, giving hope to a team that finished just one stroke from qualifying for the NCAA tournament last season.
Only one, Chris Marshall, is a senior, though, giving coach Ross Randall a team that has experience but is still young enough to get better.
"It's going to be a real young team." Randall said. "It's probably the youngest team I've had in quite a while.
"Once we get farther into the fall some of the young guys will play well and some will struggle as they gain experience. We hope to use the fail to really solidify who the top five, six or seven players are and that's what we'd do normally."
Marshall should be the team's number one player but won't be able to practice for at least a week because of bypass surgery for a clotted vein in his neck.
"We don't start the season until the sixteenth of September," Marshall said. "so I will try to rebound for this just like I would if I were sick. I am hoping that in a week I will be able to rejoin the team."
Even with a week of recovery time, Marshall, who was an honorable mention All-American last year, has his sights set high.
"My expectations are to make no worse then second team All-American," he said. "To make first team would be better in my preparation to turn pro next September."
Juniors Tyler Hall and Andrew Price also return from last year, and will be complemented by returners Peter Krsnich, Ryan Rainer, Jason Sigler, Luke Trammell and Kevin Ward.
"Several of the younger guys had really good summers," Randall said, "including Pete Krsnich who had a great summer. We red-shirted four guys last year so they should be a good team. They're a bunch of young guys and it's going to be very, very competitive."
krnsch won the Kansas Golf Association Fourball Championship at Alvamar Golf Course this summer with partner and former high school teammate Jason Nascone, who now attends Wichita State University.
Charlie Santularia, a former Lawrence Free State High School standout, will also be in the mix for the top five spots. Santularia transferred to Kansas this summer after redshirting last year at the University of Texas.
The team's season will start Sept. 16 in Toledo, Ohio, at the Inverness Intercollegiate, and will play host to the Kansas Invitational at Alvamar on Sept. 23 and Sept. 24.

Megan Menzel was hired in early July to lead the Jayhawks after Kansas finished last in the Big 12 the past three seasons.
By Levi Chronister Kansan sports editor
She hopes to turn around the jayhawks by focusing on their heads as well as their swings.
"Getting inside their heads, looking at weaknesses and building confidence and a positive attitude."
Women's golf coach brings solid record
Menzel led Colorado State to back-to-back NCAA regional appearances the past two seasons after spending a year leading Boise State to its best ever conference finish — fourth place — in her first year as a coach.
Every member of the University of Kansas women's golf team should be back this year but there will be a new face in charge.
While at Colorado State, Menzel recruited the first individual Mountain West Conference champion to the university and had two players named to the all-conference team last year.
Menzel, who was recruited by Kansas before choosing to attend New Mexico, won't have to worry about recruiting for this year's Jayhawks, though, as there were no seniors on last year's team.
Williamson made a 5-foot par putt on the final hole to finish at 8-under 272 on the Crestview Country Club course.
Four seniors — Tiffany Kruggell, Jill MacDonald, Heather Rose and Kristy Straub — will help lead this year's team.
Rose won the Sam Houston Invitational last year in a sudden death playoff — her first title — and led the team

at the Big 12 Championships with a 32nd place finish.
The seniors will be aided by juniors Jennifer Bawanan and Tegan Thornberry, Sophomores Megan Elgethun, Meredith Winkelmann and Lauren Widell round out the returners.
While Menzel coached at Colorado State, the women's golf team led all CSU athletic teams in grade-point average, a feat which could be repeated at Kansas as Bawanan and McDonald were both named to the 2001-02 Division I All-Scholar Team by the National Golf Coaches Association.
Practices for the team start Friday and will follow a six-day schedule.
"Monday, Wednesday, Friday will be play days and qualifying." Menzel said. "Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday we will work on our short game and conditioning."

Ah, the preseason
A time of optimism. A time of dreaming. The time of year when nothing could possibly go wrong.
Every team at the University of Kansas is undefeated right now. Students, alumni, coaches, and the players themselves can help but be swept away by the "If everything goes right" talk that comes prior to the first game of every season.
SPORTS
A bowl game for the football team? It seems possible, if everything goes right.
A first-ever NCAA tournament appearance for the volleyball team? Sure, if everything goes right.
A run at the Big 12 Conference title for the soccer team? It could happen, if everything goes right.
Al Bohl
PETER G. MILLER
And now whenenthusiasm is at its highest, no one is bubbling with it more than Al Bohl. Kansas' athletics director.
"I'm really looking forward to this year," Bohl says. "This will be my second year, and I'm real excited about every one of our teams."
Who isn't? Bohl is trying his hardest to resurrect an athletics program that, on the field, was pitiful when he showed up just more than a year ago. His equation is simple. More wins equals more fans. More fans equal more money.
With that, he makes his sales pitch to everyone.
He asks for donations from alumni. He advertises in the Kansas City area. He begs for support from the most spirited group — the students.
"All the Jayhawks on all of our teams," Bohl said, "they are all your classmates. We welcome and appreciate any support you give, whether it be football or soccer or any other sport."
COMMENTARY
Next Friday marks the kickoff of Kansas' 2002-2003 regular season schedule, when the Kansas soccer team tangles with UNLV at SuperTarget Field.
Between then and next May, sixteen Kansas teams will pursue the Big 12 Conference title, a feat only men*

basketball was able to accomplish last year.
Four new coaches will be part of the chase, perhaps none more visible than football's Mark Mangino. The down-to-business Mangino replaces the happy-go-lucky Terry Allen, and comes with a championship ring gracing his finger from just two seasons ago.
"Mark and his staff have been doing an excellent job in the offseason," Bohl said. "He learned a lot of lessons when he was at Oklahoma winning the national title. He knows what it takes."
One thing it takes is enthusiastic support.
The campaign to get students to wear blue, which pretty much failed to get a response last basketball season, has been given a significant boost.
Intrust Bank will sponsor a T-shirt giveaway on Sept. 14, handing out T-shirts on campus and awarding scholarships to students in attendance wearing those shirts. This year, the shirts will be blue.
"You go to a game in Nebraska, it's all red," Bohl said. "K-State is all purple. We're one of the few schools where our dominate color is blue. We want to show that at all of our sporting events."
Kansas will take on Southwest Missouri State that Saturday night, and Bohl is hoping for a large, rowdy, color-coordinated turnout.
"That first game," Bohl says, "that will be beautiful."
The thought of a blue crowd cheering our student-athletes to victory can make any Kansas fan itch for kickoff. After all, everyone is optimistic in the preseason — especially the man in charge.
That is, if everything goes right

Club teams prepare for fall season
Clubs sports at the University of Kansas offer a chance for any student to compete in a sport, meet friends, or just break away from the monotony of books and classes.
Some of the sports available range from more common activities such as soccer to more daring and unusual choices like rugby and sailing. Most clubs only require a dues fee and an interest and enthusiasm to play and compete.
Men's soccer
The men's soccer team has been among the more successful and popular teams at KU. Last year's team went undefeated into the semifinal round in the Open National Tournament before losing to eventual champion Ohio State University.
Men's soccer competes in the recently formed Mid-American Sports Club League that includes other club teams from Kansas State, Wichita State, and Central Missouri State, Northwest Missouri State, and Pittsburg State.
"The MASCL is now more organized, more structured, financially better off, and more and more organized," said mid-fielder Ben Stone. Stone, Emporia senior, said the team's upcoming season looks promising under the direction of second-year coach Matt McCune.
"He is an excellent player and an excellent coach, an up-and-coming coach." Stone said.
12
The team hopes to repeat its KSU-E Chartrand Tournament championship and earn a top-two finish in its region that includes club powers from the University of Texas, Texas A&M, and Baylor University.
Kansas men's rugby players compete last season. The team is gearing up for another yea

The soccer team is introducing a second 20-man team to accommodate interest in the sport.
With the first team returning strong players such as Aaron Law, Topeka defender, Chris Hartley, Shawnee goalkeeper, and Chip Lee Tula, Okla. defender, Stone expects a trip to the National Championship Tournament in San Diego, Calif.
Want to get involved in club sports?
Cycling
Another club team hoping for a return to a national championship after boasting the only previous championship at KU in the last 10 years is the cycling team. The team finished 24th at last spring's national competition in Burlington, Vt., a result below usual expectations, said Andy Phelps, Shawnee sophomore.
" (This year's team) is basically unchanged a lot stronger and a lot
better." said Phelps.
The upcoming team lost only one member from last year. Returning members include Stephen Schneller, Overland Park junior, Adam Mills, Topeka senior, and Ben Coles, graduate student from Albuquerque, N.M.
— since most high schools do not offer it as a sport — yet many newcomers do fairly well, said Phelps.
"If they've never tried it, they should." he said. "They get to meet a lot of new people and helps them find their niche in college.
The team will also rely on a strong incoming freshman class to supplement this fall's squad. Cycling often attracts young inexperienced riders
The cycling team will have their first meeting at 7:30 p.m. August 26th at the
Jayhawk Room in the Kansas Union.
Sailing
Sailing
The sailing team has a strong foundation of new participants. Many returning sailors along, with high interest from freshmen, look to improve last year's fifth-place finish in their district.
Some sailing teams will travel to Clinton Lake on September 21st as KU hosts its only home regatta. Sailing will have its first meeting at 7 p.m. August 28th at the Walnut Room in the Kansas Union.
Sailing teams from Texas, Texas A&M, and as far away as Western Florida and Tulane all compete in KU's district.
Men's rugby
The men's rugby team began practice August 1 under the tutelage of first-year head coach Adrian Horn. Horn, a native of Wales, brings a lifetime of rugby experience for the players, whose outlook on the season will be very positive, according to Rugby Chairman Executive Matt Kenney.
Traditional opponents including University of Nebraska and University of Oklahoma appear on schedule as the team looks to improve upon last year's 8-3 finish.
Women's lacrosse
The women's lacrosse team will compete for its first winning season.
"We finished on a down note, losing our last couple games," said Jessie Bird, Olathe senior. "But this year is very, very promising."
After a five-game winning streak in the middle of the last spring season, the team lost three of its last four, including back-to-back losses to Washington University and Truman University at the end of the season.
Most of last year's squad will return to the team, including two sophomores who posted impressive freshman campaigns.
Lindsay Johnson, St. Louis, Mo.
sophomore, and Natasha Trefla,
Parker Colo. sophomore were voted
Top Newcomers for the 2001-02 season.
Both players entered with no
previous playing experience.
The lacrosse team has opponents from all over the country slated for competition,including traditional school rivals.
"The University of Missouri is always a big competitor," said Bird. We always like to play them."
All the fall teams show promise for their upcoming seasons, and encourage anyone to participate regardless of experience or talent. A chance at competition and the opportunity to meet and develop new friends enhance the club sports experience.
"We practice three days a week. It's more laid back. It's on your own shoulders, but you still have that competitiveness," said Stone of his participation in soccer. "It is a very solid group of top quality guys. It's twenty best friends."
All club sports require varying dues and some require members to supply equipment. For a complete list of club sports at KU, check the club sports website at http://www.ku.edu/~recserv/Sport_Clubs.htm, call Recreation Services at 846-3526 or visit their office at 208 Robinson.

Sports in brief Kansas bowling expecting to roll into a strong national placement
Missouri's Farmer may claim starting quarterback position
Farmer started nine games last season and has started 14 games in his career. He was the No.1 quarterback at the beginning of spring practice. In the Black and Gold game to end spring practice, Farmer was 11-of-18 for 118 yards with one interception.
Smith was 12-of-21 for 89 yards and one touchdown in the spring game.
COLUMBIA, Mo. — After losing Missouri's starting quarterback job, senior Kirk Farmer made a claim for it Saturday as he threw for 250 yards and three touchdowns during the Tigers' first scrimmage of the season.
Missouri opens the season against Illinois on Aug. 31 at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis.
Freshman Brad Smith, who has a tenuous hold on the start quarterback job, threw for 161 yards and one touchdown. Freshman Sonny Riccio, listed behind Smith with Farmer, threw for 121 yards with two interceptions.
Coach Gary Pinkel penciled in Smith at the top of the depth chart when spring practice ended.
Senior wide receiver Justin Gate caught two touchdown passes — one from Smith and one from Farmer. Sophomore running back Tyrone Robertson also had a pair of touchdows, scoring on runs of 1-yard and 6 yards.
Jarret goes from spirt to Pepsi 400 victory Sunday
BROOKLYN, Mich. — Dale Jarrett rebounded from a spin on the 12th lap and passed Jeff Burton with five laps to go to win the Pepsi 400 at Michigan International Speedway on Sunday.
Jarrett's 30th career victory — and fourth at Michigan — came on the 11th anniversary of his first one, when he led the late Davey Allison
The Ford driver has two victories this year, also winning the June race at Pocono.
Burton stretched his fuel for the final 53 laps, but it was an overheating engine that was a bigger concern. With two laps to go in the 200-lap race, Burton's car began spewing water and trailing smoke, but he held on to finish fourth.
Tony Stewart finished second in a Pontiac, about 2 seconds back, and Kevin Harvick was third in a Chevrolet.
Mark Martin trailed Burton to the line, with point leader Sterling Marling sixth.
"Who'd have thought when I spun out earlier that we'd be right here," Jarrett said in victory lane.
Cristiano da Matta emerges from slump in Motorola 220, grabs sixth win
ELKHART LAKE, Wis. — Cristiano da Motta returned to form Sunday, ending a three-race slump with a victory in the Motorola 220.
The CART series leader won for the first time on the scenic 4-mile road course at Road America, earning his sixth win in 12 starts this season and the 10th of his career.
"It's very satisfying, because we had a couple of bad races together, and it's very rewarding to be back in first place," da Matta said.
It wasn't a dominant victory, like some the Brazilian driver has had this season.
Paul Tracy actually led the most laps (24) in the race, which was extended this year from 55 to 60 lap.
Pole-winner Bruno Junqueira and Alex Tagliani both were contenders to the end.
Tracy, who started fourth in the 18-car field, got a great start and passed Junqueira on the fifth turn of the first lap and took the lead.

For senior Christina Boehm confidence is not going to be a problem going into the 2002-03 bowling season.
Kansan sportswriter
"We are expecting to go to the nationals." Boehm said. "I think both the men and women will have a great season along with finishing strong in nationals."
Boehm made two all-tournament teams last year and returns as the captain of the women's team. The senior feels she can provide leadership to the team that will add two new women to their队.
"I'm the anchor bowler of this team and I'm going to help by coaching the women because we only have one coach right now,"
"We need to do well in all tournaments,but if there is one important tournament it would be the qualifiers, but those are not until March."

Giafonne edges Hornish in Indy car racing championship run; four bidding for title
The Associated Press
SPARTA, Ky. — The battle for the Indy Racing League championship is almost as close as Felipe Giaffone's victory over Sarnish Hornish Jr.
With a different winner in each of the past nine races, the points battle is a four-way shootout that might not be decided until the season finale at Texas next month.
"The championship is very open," said Giaffone, who held off Homish by 0.932 seconds in the Belterra Casino indy 300 on Sunday.
It was the first career victory for Giaffaore, who was the IRL rookie of the year last season and has been one of the league's most consistent drivers with Top-10 finishes in all but four of his 25 career starts. He was second at Nazareth, Pa., in April and third at Indianapolis in May.
"After Indianapolis, where I really felt that I had the car to win, I said, 'Oh, man, even if i win a race I'm not going to be happy because I'm so mad.
"I can tell you," he said of his emotions now, "it's completely different."
Hornish, the defending IRL champion, took over the series lead with 399 points, just four ahead of Helio Castroneves.
Gil de Ferran, who went in as the points leader but finished 21st, dropped to third with 386 points and Giaffone is next with 382 — a margin of 17 points separating the top four drivers with three races to go.
"It's so tough. It just shows how competitive the IRL is." Hornish said. "It's tough to gain an advantage in the points because a new guy wins and he starts building on his points."
During practice for an Infiniti Pro Series race earlier in the day, actor Jason Priestley's race car crashed head-on into a wall at nearly 180 mph, breaking his back and leaving him in serious condition with a concussion and other injuries.
The former "Beverly Hills 90210"
television star was flown to the Uti-
versity of Kentucky Medical Center with a spinal fracture in the middle of his back and a closed head injury, as well as broken nose and broken bones in his both feet. IRL medical director Henry Bock said.
Giaffone, a 27-year-old Brazilian, led 124 of the 200 laps on the kentucky Speedway tri-oval and won $125,200 from a purse of $1.053 million.
"It was one of those weekends when everything works great," he said.
Giaffone led the final 39 laps after the leaders made their final pit stops for fuel
Hornish dropped to third as the race seemed to come down to a battle between Giaffone and Buddy Lazier, the two-time defending race winner. But Hornish passed Lazier for second place with four laps to go and pulled within 0.041 second of Giaffone going into the final lap.
Giaffone was able to pull around slower traffic and beat Hornish to the checkered flag.
"Sam showed he had a strong car." Giaffone said. "And that was my question: Is that it, or does he have something left? For sure, my car was great, but he could manage to run behind me, side-by-side, everywhere."
Lazier was third, followed by Scott Sharp, Castroneves and Al Unser Jr., who missed the past two races while undergoing treatment for alcohol abuse.
Lazier, whose brief lead midway through the race was his first since he won here a year ago, said he didn't have enough power to get by Giaf-fone late in the race.
"I'd get a run on him. and he did a good job defending. My only chance at the end was lap traffic hopefully elogging up the first two guys and I'd get a run on them, but I didn't quite have the legs for him."
Sarah Fisher, the first woman to start from the pole in a major racing series, led the first 26 laps and finished eighth.
There’s a better way to vent.

Minnesota quarterback praises talent of teammates
Knight Ridder News Services
CHICAGO — Minnesota quarterback Asad Abdul-Khaliq was talking about running backs Marion Barber III and Thomas Tapeh, whom coach Glen Mason plans to play together in the backfield at times this season.
"Those guys can do it all," Abdul-Khaliq said. "Man, I mean speed, power, quickness, finesse, catching the ball. Whatever you want, those two can get it done."
But can either of them block?
Abdul-khalai enjoyed a long, loud laugh. Then he built a solid case for Barber, a 19-year-old sophomore, and Tapeh, a 22-year-old junior.
"Oh, my yes, they can block." Abdul-Khaiq said. "Both of them. I feel comfortable when I drop back and one or both of those two blocks
for me. I don't worry about getting hit. My mind is on going downfield
"Those two will block for one another too. As tailback or fullback, they'll give it to the best defenders."
If Barber's name sounds familiar, it's because his father, Marion Barber II, starred for the Gophers from 1977-80 and later played in the NFL.
As a 200-pound freshman last year, the Plymouth, Minn., native rushed for 742 yards. Aided in part by Tapeh's blocking, Barber averaged 6.3 yards per carry, second best in the Big Ten.
"Our freshman sensation," Mason said. "He wasn't widely recruited. To be honest, the only reason I offered him a scholarship was because his dad was a Gopher.
"I recruited him as a defensive back," Mason said, "but after he had on campus about five minutes, I
realized, 'Oh, God, I glad I recieved him.'
Mason didn't hesitate offering a ride to Tapeh, who's from St. Paul. Tapeh weighs almost 240, but he runs like a spinter and bench-presses more than 450 pounds. Foot injuries that now appear healed limited him to 110 carries and 482 yards his first two seasons.
Two fine running backs by themselves do not make an offense. But if Mason comes up with capable replacements for his two graduated guards and his center, the running and blocking of Barber and Tapeh could cause opponents to pack seven or eight defenders on the line. And this could open up the passing game for Abdul-Khaliq.
He passed for 1,393 yards, ran for 266 more and had a 12-6 touchdown-to-interception ratio last year. His
No. 1 receiver, Ron Johnson, graduated,
but Mason calls on foot-6-1inch 250-pound Bent Utech, "in my opinion the best tight end in the country."
"I'm confident about our offense," Mason said. "Khalil keeps improving. He has a chance to be a force in the Big Ten. We can't replace Ron Johnson with one receiver, but Barber and Tapeh, if he stays healthy, could be dominant running backs."
The Gophers last year missed going to a third straight bowl game, finishing 4-7 overall and 2-6 in 10th place in the Big Ten. Defense was the major culprit.
The Gopher's defense ranked 10th in conference games with an average yield of 454.4 yards per game. They were No. 9 against the run, giving up an average of 208.9 yards and last against the pass at 245.5 yards.
Eight of last year's 11 defensive starters return. If they learned enough while taking their lumps, the defense will improve in 2002.
Cornerback and co-captain Michael Lehan is one of three starters and five lettermen returning to the secondary, Lehan ranked third in the Big Ten with 16 passed broken up and made two interceptions.
The Gophers sacked quarterbacks only 14 times in 11 games last year. They base expectations for increased sacks on a rush line that has two returning starting tackles, Dan Kwipaplin and Darrell Reil, and two swift pass-rushing ends, newcomers Charlton Keith and Mark Losli.
Of course, there's another way the Gophers' defense can improve significantly over last year. That's to have Abdul-Khalil and his offensive unit
substantially increase last year's average of 28 minutes of possession per game. This would require smart decisions by the junior quarterback from Elizabeth, N.J.
"My freshman year I was terrible." Abdul-Khaliq admitted. "When you're responsible for knowing what 22 guys are doing, it can be confusing. Last year I had a much better grasp. This year I'm confident, and I have a different outlook.
"I'm more focused on being a leader this year. Being a leader is easy when you're winning and things are going well.
To me, leadership means the ability to stay out there in any type of situation, whether you're hurt or your losing, and show your teammates that you're willing to die for them."

California-Berkeley swimmer sets record
By Ian M. Fein
Byron M. Pfeil
The Daily Californiaian via U-Wire
The University of California-Berkley
BERKLEY, Calif. - Sometimes the best just keep getting better.
California junior Natalie Coughlin surprised no one Tuesday when she set the world record in the 100-meter backstroke at the U.S. National Championships.
Becoming the first woman to
break the one-minute mark in the event. Coughlin's time of 59.58 seconds shattered the previous record of 1:00.16, set by China's Chong He of in 1994.
The 19-year-old Coughlin came close to passing the mark before, setting the American record of 1.00.18 last summer and posting the third-fastest time of 1:00.19 this June at the Santa Clara Invitational.
Considering Coughlin faltered in both of these races, hitting the lane line in the first and missing her flip turn in the second, it was just a matter of time before the backstroke record was hers.
The other swimmers in Tuesday's championship race didn't pose a challenge to Coughlin. After only 50 meters, Coughlin led by nearly a full body length.
Along with her second 100-meter
backstroke national title. Coughlin earned two more titles in her first three days of racing. Races continue through Saturday so she may still add a few more titles.
Monday, Coughlin edged out 10-time Olympic medalist and Stanford alumna Jenny Thompson in the 100-meter butterfly with a time of 58.49.
Wednesday, Coughlin set the U.S. Nationals meet record of 1:58.20 in the 200-meter freestyle.
In both of her seasons swimming at Cal, Coughlin was named NCAA and Pac-10 Swimmer of the Year. She now holds three world and 24 American records.
This summer USA Swimming named Coughlin June's Swimmer of the Month. It was the second time she won that award this year.
For her accomplishments at the national championships this week, she will likely take her third such
award for the month of August
The results of the U.S. National Championships help determine team selections for future events, such as the 2003 World Championships and the 2003 World University and Pan American Games.
By claiming the 100-meter butterfly title Monday, Coughlin qualified for the Pan-Pacific Championships in Yokohama, Japan, later this month.
West Virginia getting geared up for 2002 season
By Chuck McGill The Daily Athenaeum via U-Wire West Virginia University
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia football enters its second year under the direction of offensive mastermind Rich Rodriguez and his fast-paced spread offense.
At this point last year, the loyal contingent of Mountaineer fans were as optimistic as ever coming off a stunning Music City Bowl victory over Ole Miss. The new era of football Rodriguez was bringing all the more reason to be excited.
The season never materialized as many, if not all, had hoped. WVU mustered just three victories: two over Mid-American Conference opponents and an 80-7 thumping over Big East doormat Rutgers. Rodriguez's debut was worse than any season the legendary Don Nehlen ever had.
Now WVU is just eight days away from the home opener against Tennessee-Chattanooga, and regardless of what happened last season, everyone involved is once again optimistic that the Mountaineers will challenge for a bowl berth.
The team returns 14 starters, six on offense, eight on defense, and lost just one coach from last year's staff.
just one beat from nowhere.
The offense has upgraded at quarterback and wide receiver with players more suitable for Rodriguez's spread attack, and the defense has changed schemes to better fit the current personnel. Last season, West Virginia allowed an atrocious 213 yards rushing per game, which was a major reason why the Mountaineers
dropped eight games. This season, under co-defensive coordinators Todd Graham and Jeff Casteel, WVU will run a 3-3 stack as opposed to the eight man front that was run last year by since departed Phil Elassian.
OFFENSE
Last year's starting quarterback, Brad Lewis, was never recruited to run the type of offense Rich Rodriguez employs. Lewis was spelled occasionally by redshirt freshman Rasheed Marshall, who missed eight games with a broken wrist. Marshall is back this year as a sophomore and has a firm grip on the starting spot.
Marshall brings a nice blend of the skills needed to engineer this offense. He has a strong arm to go along with his outstanding speed. Marshall was 21 of 27 in the spring game with 231 yards, solidifying himself as the future of West Virginia football.
Marshall was pushed in the spring by redshirt freshman Danny Embick, who is the No. 2 quarterback for now. Junior college transfer Charles Hales comes in as the third string quarterback.
WVU is blessed with one of the best running back tandems in the East. Avon Cobourne returns as WVU's second all-time leading rusher, and should break the rushing record before the halfway point in the season. He needs just 632 yards to pass Amos Zereoue on the all-time list.
Should Cobourne rush for 1,000 yards for the fourth straight season, he will be among an elite group of five individuals to have previously
accomplished this feat.
Cobourne's sidekick as WUV's "superback" will be Quincy Wilson. One of the greatest prep runners to ever come out of West Virginia. Wilson will see an increased workload this year as Rodriguez and running backs coach Calvin Magee look to keep Cobourne rested during the game.
Also helping out in the backfield is superback/fullback Hikee Johnson and fullback Mo Fofana. Johnson will provide depth at both positions while Fofina will be the lead blocker for Cobourne and Wilson. Fofana came to WVU as a walk-on, but earned a scholarship this past year.
West Virginia's passing offense ranked 96th in the country in 2001 despite Rodriguez's penchant for the pass. The main reason why the Mountaineers struggled to develop an effective passing game was the lack of playmakers available. And while this phase of the offense had no where to go but up, WVU looks significantly improved in this facet of the game.
WVU returns seniors Phil Braxton and A.J. Nastasi at receivers, along with senior Mike Page and sophomore Miquelle Henderson.
Braxton was last year's leading receiver before breaking his foot against Rutgers. He missed the spring but is back this fall and looking to live up to his previously unfulfilled potential.
Nastasi was the team's leading receiver a year ago. He is steady, not flashy, and has great hands.
in the spring. He has become a favorite target of Rasheed Marshall and should post big numbers. Page is a former walk-on who started four games as a junior, but missed the spring with a back injury.
Henderson was the best receiver
Although the returning receivers are solid, the newcomers are the one's raising eyebrows through the early part of fall practice. The most
Last year's starting quarterback, Brad Lewis, was never recruited to run the type of offense Rich Rodriguez employs.
impressive of the group is junior college transfer Aaron Neal, a 6-4 wide out from California. Neal is a large target with great speed and the ability to block downfield.
Another transfer expected to contribute immediately is Travis Garvin, a junior college basketball player from Florida. Garvin played one season at Missouri, but left the team after an altercation with the head coach. Garvin arrived at WVU slightly out of shape, but has been running in the mornings with Coach Rodriguez in order to gain playing shape. Garvin also plans to walk on for the basketball team.
Contributions can also be expected from Neal's junior college teammate Derrick Smith, redshirt freshman Dee Alston, converted
running back Cassel Smith, and, if declared eligible, stud recruit J.T. Perry.
Perry is awaiting word on his eligibility after failed to qualify academically.
Several tight ends will try to crack the starting lineup, led by Josh Bailey. Other tight ends are Tory Johnson, Darnell Glover and Jason Hardee. The latter has yet to qualify as well.
All of these positions are crucial, but as with any good team, a majority of the success lies within the offensive line.
WVU is fortunate to return four starters off of a solid offensive line They are led by seniors Lance Nimmo, Ken Sandor and Zack Dillow, Junior Tim Brown also returns.
Jerk Berk is penciled in as the new starting guard in place of the graduated Brad Knell. Rod Olds, Justin Williams, Garin Justice; Geoff Lewis, Ben Timmons and Travis Garrett provide depth. True freshman Dan Mozes is outstanding and may fight for playing time immediately.
DEFENSE
The defense returns a plethora of experienced players that will look to shake the nasty image from 2001.
The defensive line returns four seniors and will look to several newcomers for immediate playing time.
David Upchurch is the heart and soul of the defense. He recorded 66 tackles last season, including 14 for losses. He will rotate between the defensive tackle and end.
The coaches can experiment with Upchurch at end because of the
emergence of freshman Ernest Hunter and sophomore Kelvin Dubouse at the defensive tackle position. The two will rotate at the position.
Jason Davis will start at the other end, and will be spelled by seniors Tim Love and Kevin Freeman.
The linebacking corps is getting stronger by the day. The group is led by junior Grant Wiley, the former Big East rookie of the year. Wiley played through injuries last year, missing two games, but still put together solid numbers. Wiley will play on the left side to maximize his big-play ability.
James Davis will play opposite Wiley, after playing practically every position on defense during his stay at WVU. Davis led the team with eight sacks a year ago.
Other linebackers expected to make contributions include senior Ben Collins and Shane Graham, who will vie for playing time at middle linebacker.
Sophomore Adam Lehnortt will backup Wiley, and junior college transfer Leandre Washington will see plenty of playing time after a strong spring performance.
The Mountainees may also decide to burn the redshirt of top newcomer Jay Henry. The true freshman comes from Jenks High School, a powerhouse program in Oklahoma. Henry has great size and speed and will likely be called on to perform this season.
West Virginia will use five players in the secondary on a regular basis

Most students unaware of possible baseball strike
COMMENTARY
I
Jessica Tims jtims@kansan.com
I searched Mt. Oread yesterday for students willing to talk to me for a Q and A, I was working on for today's sports section. My question, "What are your thoughts about the major league baseball labor dispute?"
I took on the task of searching campus for baseball fans, thinking it would be easy. Instead, it turned into one of the hardest duties of my short journalistic career.
"So what do you think about the possibility of pro-baseball players going on strike?" I asked a student
walking lavhawk Boulevard.
"I didn't know that there was going to be a strike," he replied with a very confused look. "Wasn't there just a strike a couple of years ago?"
Thinking this person must live in a remote area where Sunflower Broadband cannot deliver him ESPN, I quickly moved on to my next unsuspecting victim.
I am more cautious this time, asking first. "Are you a baseball fan?"
This time I receive a mediocre, "I
oues."
Hopeful, I continue. "Do you think the labor disputes will be settled? Or will there be a strike on the thirtieth
"Oh, I guess don't know much about baseball."
"Are you a pro baseball fan? I asked every student I passed walking up and down Jayhawk Boulevard and in both the Kansas and Burge unions with very little success.
I found only three baseball fans. Three people that cared that baseball may come to an early end this season. Three people who even knew a strike was possible.
No one seemed to care that our
nation's pastime may come to an end. This revelation made my inquiry change quickly. Where did all the baseball fans go?
n The first and most obvious answer to this question would be at home watching the game with their other baseball fan friends or at the ball park watching their favorite team in person.
I know there had to be some Cubbie fans on Waveland Avenue waiting for a homer to fly over the wall at Wrigley.
There have got to be some baseball fans in front of their computer screens making triads for their online fantasy league.
■ And maybe, just maybe the real die hard baseball fans were convened together trying concoct a plan to avoid the strike.
Where the fans are, I may never know for sure. But what I do know, is if the players chose to strike next Friday, the three fans I did find said there may even fewer baseball lovers next season.

New recruits seek to propel Kansas women's basketball
by Doyle Murphy
Kansan Staff Writer
Kansas women's basketball fans need to start doing their homework now. That's the only way to accurately keep up with all the new faces on the team's roster this season.
They have to if the Jayhawks hope to improve on a dismal 2001-2002 season. Kansas won only five games last season and was 0-16 in the Big 12.
The Jayhawks are hoping to offset the loss of their top two scorers, KC Hilgenkamp and Selena Scott, with the addition of seven freshmen and sophomore transfer Aquanita Burras. Coach Marian Washington said the freshmen and Burras could be counted on right away because the Jayhawks return no seniors.
"I think it's pretty clear that this freshmen class has the opportunity to contribute early on," Washington said.
"I think the bottom line is we just haven't had the players to compete." Washington said. "I think the class
we have this season and the class we hope to bring in next season is a big sten in the right direction."
Crystal Kemp, a guard from Topeka, and Ebony Haliburton, a forward from Kansas City. Mo., lend a local flavor to the freshmen class.
Also among the class are guard Erica Hallman; the Kentucky Miss Basketball award winner, forward/center Tamara Ransburg; forward Alicia Rhymes; forward Nichelle Roberts; and forward Seneca Jones.
Burras transferred to Kansas after a year at Central Arizona. Washing-ton hopes Burras develops into one of the team's top shooters.
Washington acknowledged the inexperience of the Jayhawks, but she said it's a problem the team can overcome.
"I don't know how you can replace experience, but if you have young players with the right attitude a lot of times you can compensate," Washington said.
Not all the Jayhawks will be learning the ropes this fall. Washington said she expects junior guard Leila Mengic to shoulder many of the leadership responsibilities.
Sophomore guard/forward Blair Waltz also has experience and should be a major contributor.
The Jayhawks will get their first test when they open the exhibition season at 7 p.m., Nov. 13 at home against the basketball Travelers.
Other exhibitions will be announced. They will play host to the University of Texas El Paso at 2 p.m., Nov. 24 to kick off the regular season.
Tim Eatman rejoins Washington on the bench this season as an assistant after a year as head coach at the University of Illinois-Chicago. Eatman replaced Maggie Miahood, who is concentrating on administrative duties for the team.

"I think they are over paid as it is, and I think they are ruining the game of baseball. They are driving ticket prices up. The players and the coaches will have to get together, and that is the only way to prevent the strike."

"Yeah it will happen the players want too much money. If the players take less money, the strike could be prevented." Jeff DeBite, lola junior

"Because the players are too greedy. It is the one professional sport in the US that does not have a salary cap and players still want more money, they won't play for less. It's all about money, and they don't want to play."

Will the Wayne State football program have to cut corners?
Financial troubles create job vacancies at Detroit university
By Mike Madias
The South end Via W U Wrege
Wayne State University
DETROIT — Although sports have predetermined time to be "in season," any coach will say offseason training is just as important as in season training and practice schedules. A large part of training comes from weightlifting regimens and suggested running drills.
With only three weeks left before the first game of the season, the Wayne State football program does not have a formal, full-time strength and conditioning coach.
Former defensiveline coach Doug Elisaia included the direction of the strength and conditioning program into his duties when employed by the WSU football team.
Before his departure early this summer, Elisaia had set up a regimen with the services of an intern, J.L. Holdsworth, for the athletes to utilize over the summer
Despite the fact that Holdsworth completed his internship, he remains very involved with the football team.
"We are trying to move the football team to another (higher) level and we could use a strength and conditioning coach (to achieve that)," said head coach Steve Kazor. "We were told that one would start by the first of August."
All the way around the athletic department throughout the summer, there has been a number of vacancies on the staff list.
"The athletic director has been working hard to get the position filled. But, I guess in a time when finances are tight, it is difficult to add a new position to the program," Kazor said. "But, I am sure it will all work out."
WSU has its plans and objectives as outlined in the university's Strategic Action Plan that extends from 2000 up through 2006. Quoting from the plan: "We are responsible for the wise use of public resources and for contributions to society's well-being
... to accomplish our goals, we must be innovative in generating more of our own revenues while identifying
new opportunities for external support. This includes reviewing resources and program offerings to align resources more closely with goals.
"Moreover, we must work aggressively for strong state support while operating in the most cost-effective manner."
The state of Michigan has projected a $1 billion deficit over fiscal years 2002-2003. The state legislature is considering budget proposal that would cut funding to state universities.
These threatened cuts may be reflected in the university's budgetary restraint and "operating in the most cost-effective manner."
This may mean that working "aggressively for strong state support" may not be as easy as it was when the strategic plan was first written and the state was running surpluses.
The university that seeks to be "responsible for the wise use of public resources" may not be willing nor able to spend as much as it would like on the athletic department in general and on football in particular. Kazor said that his team has gotten increased support from the uiver-
"NCAA regulations prohibit team coaches from working their squads in the offseason. So we cannot directly supervise the training that our athletes do. We can give them suggested weight training programs and aerobic exercise, running sprints and dis-
tance"
sity this year. The football team posted three wins and eight losses last year.
Steve Kazor Wayne State football coach
Athletic departments at other universities have strength and conditioning coaches to keep athletes in top condition.
"NCAA regulations prohibit team coaches from working their squads in the offseason," Kazor said. "So we cannot directly supervise the training that our athletes do. We can give them suggested weight training programs and aerobic exercise, running sprints and distance."
Kazor said that from time to time his staff look in on their players as they work out in the weight room. Intern, Holdsworth has also been of assistance.
A more ideal scene was outlined by Rose Snyder. Snyder is both a certified strength and conditioning specialist and a certified athletic trainer. She is also a certified orthopedic physician assistant in the Henry Ford Health System.
Snyder and other professionals do strength and conditioning coaching for the Detroit Red Wings, Lions and Tigers at the Henry Ford Hospital William Clay Ford Center for Athletic Medicine, at 6525 Second Avenue.
Typically, all (collection football) programs go through a winter conditioning program in January, February. March and then have some spring ball. There is a staff member designated as the strength coach. This person is in charge of all aspects of the conditioning process. Even the smaller (college athletic) programs have a designated strength and conditioning coach now."
Snyder said, "All athletes will benefit from and are entitled to equal access to the sports medicine team which can include certified athletic trainers, strength & conditioning specialists, physicians, nutritionists, sports psychologists, physical therapists, exercises physiologists, etc., etc."
The university's strategic plan commits it to working out the means "to move the university's athletic programs to Division 1," in the period between 2000 and 2006.
An equipped health facility stands on Gullen Mall, by the Student Center Building.
Nation's universities vie for recognition, victories
And a strength and conditioning program exists in the New Center area, about a mile north of campus.

12 games instead of the usual 11 because the NCAA allows it when there's an extra Saturday between the Labor Day weekend and Nov. 30.
More than a dozen teams are playing 13 games courtesy of "presseason classics," and a few, like Nebraska, could end up playing 15 games.
"It make makes it tougher for teams to go undefeated." Coker says.
Despite the return of only 10 starters, Miami rests its repeat hopes on the accurate arm of quarterback Ken Dorsey and a defense led by hard-hitting linebacker Jonathan
Vilma.
"I'm looking for a repeat," "Canes center Brett Romberg says. "You're only as good as your last game and I hope to get a ring to prove it."
Nebraska is simply thinking about winning any game. The Huskers are trying to forget humiliating losses at the end of last season — 62-36 to Colorado and 37-14 to Miami in the Rose Bowl.
With Jammal Lord replacing departed Heisman Trophy winner Eric Crouch at quarterback, Nebraska opens Aug. 24 against Arizona State.

Six players left the team, including three who were expelled after a woman said she was raped. Quarterback Matt LoVecchio transferred, and leading rusher Julius Jones is academically ineligible.
A year to remember, says quarterback Carlie Holiday: "So many things happened in that one year that don't even happen to a team
for a whole generation."
Also looking to rise up for another national title run are Florida State, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas.
The Seminoles lost four games for the first time since 1986, ending a 14-year run of Top 5 pinch wins and 10-win seasons. But with most of his players back, including quarterback Chris Rix, coach Bobby Bowden is counting on returning to the title game for the fourth time in five years.
"We're going to be very disappointed if we don't get right back into the middle of that fight." Bowden says.
Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas all blew

oan Oklahoma on Oct. 12, and they'll be in the title hunt.
"The program is walking with a swagger again," coach Mack Brown says. "We feel like we should be a Top 5 team and now we're at the point that if we do our jobs, there may come a time when the ball bounces right and we could win a national championship."
At Tennessee, the pass-catch combo of Casey Clausen to Kelley Washington has the

At The Swamp, Florida hopes to maintain the glory days under Steve Spurrier, who abruptly left for the Washington Redskins. Former Gators assistant Ron Zook takes over. And no matter how much he talks, travels and tries to outwork Spurrier, the 'Zooker knows the score.
"It obviously comes down to wins or losses," he says. "It makes no difference what people say now."
At least he has Heisman runner-up Rex Grossman back. The junior led the nation in passing — 3,896 yards and 34 TDs. Grossman towed with transferring after Spurrier left.
"It was a difficult decision," Grossman says. "But as soon as I got all the facts, it was pretty easy. I still want to be a Gator."
Looking for surprise teams? Try Georgia Tech in the ACC, Boston College in the Big

This could be a strong year for quarterbacks. In addition to Dorsey, Simms, Rix, Clausen and Grossman, there's no less than a dozen other big

Other top runners include Texas' Benson, Wisconsin's Anthony Davis, LSU's LaBrandon Toefield, Virginia Tech's duo of Lee Suggs and Kevin Jones and Colorado's trio of Chris Brown, Bobby Purify and Marcus Houston.
As for games, there's a few you don't want to miss: Miami at Florida on Sept. 7; Texas vs. Oklahoma in Dallas and Florida State at Miami on Oct. 12; and Miami at Tennessee on Nov. 9.
Pac-10 rivals Cal and Stanford both have new coaches - Jeff Tedford at Cal, Buddy Teevens at Stanford.
Other schools with new coaches include Indiana (Gerry DiNardo), Kansas (Mark Mangino), Navy (Paul Johnson) and Vanderbilt (Bobby Johnson).
Miami opens the season with I-A's longest winning streak at 22 games; Duke has the longest losing streak at 23 games.

While we were out
A lot has happened in the sports world since the last issue of the Kansan so here's a quick look at some of the most important and the ones that hit close to our home on Mount Oread
Mankamyer approved to run Olympic Committee
DENVER—The U.S. Olympic Committee's board of directors approved Marty Mankamver as the committee's next president, making her the second woman to head the world's most powerful Olympic committee.
Mankamyer, interim president since Sandy Baldwin resigned in May, received a simple majority from the 123-member board after the USOC's Executive Committee selected her over Boston attorney Paul George and silver medal rover Larry Hough in a July 29 vote.
She is the USOC's sixth president in the last 11 years.
"I think this is very positive for the Olympic movement," said Bill Hyb), a member of the IOC and a former USOC president. "Marty has demonstrated a new level of leadership as acting president. She had not been in a role like this before and she has done very well with it."
The 68-year-old Mankamyer has served as the USOC's vice president-secretariat since 2000 and a member of USOC board of directors since 1990. She has been a champion of women's soccer and was a leader in the movement that made it an Olympic sport
Mankamyer will serve the remaining 21/2 years of Baldwin's term, but said she will not seek re-election. She is eligible to run for two more terms for the unpaid post when her term ends at the end of 2004.
Baldwin, the first woman president of the USC, resigned May 24 after admitting she led about academic credentials.
Many within the USOC hope Mankamyer, who has been involved with the USOC since 1984, will provide the organization with some stability after several years of turmoil.
"There are three reasons — the continuity, the basic knowledge that comes with having been there and she got a running start by being the action president," Hylb said.
President Robert Helmick became the first IOC member to resign under pressure in 1991 after he was accused of using the position for personal gain.
In 1999, Alfredo La Mont, the USDC's senior director of international relations and protocol,
stepped down after revealing an undisclosed business relationship with a former member of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee.
Before Baldwin resigned, the USOC went through a lengthy search to replace CEO Norm Blake, who resigned under pressure in October 2000. Lloyd Ward replaced Blake in October.
Ewing ends Orlando stint after unproductive season
ORLANDO, Fla. — Patrick Ewing and the Orlando Magic are parting ways after one season.
The 40-year-old center and the team agree he won't return next season, general manager John Gabriel said Thursday. There was one
year left on Ewings's contract, reportedly worth a little more than $2
year end of living s.o. a little more than $2 million.
Ewing, an 11-time All-Star, hasn't decided whether to retire, the Magic said.

In 17 NBA seasons, Ewing has averaged 21 points and 9.8
rebounds for New York, Seattle and Orlando. In 1997, he was selected one of the NBA's 50 greatest players.
Ewing's brief stay in Orlando was his least productive NBA season. He averaged six points and four rebounds in 13.9 minutes — all career lows.
After the All-Star break, he played barely 10 minutes per game and for the first time in his career was listed as a Did Not Play-Coach's Decision.
A message left at the office of Ewing's agent, David Fak, was not immediately returned Thursday.
"In my eyes, Patrick Ewing is a champion, a legend, one of the all-time greats," Magic coach Doc Rivers said. "His work ethic throughout his career has been unmatched. He has a warrior mentality and is always so intense and so focused.
I hope more people get to know the real Patrick Ewing — the great leader, loyal teammate, good guy. Perhaps, as he moves on the
next step, they will get to know him like I’ve had the privilege of knowing him."
Bethany College favored in Kansas conference
SALINA — Bethany College was named the preseason favorite to win the 2002 Kansas Conference football title, the KCAC announced Friday.
The Swedes, 8-1 in the KCAC last season to share the title with Kansas Wesleyan, were the overwhelming favorites of both the media and the conference coaches.
Seven of 10 coaches and 13 of 15 media voters picked Bethany for first. The coaches picked Ottawa as the likely conference runner up with Kansas Wesleyan third, while the media had those two reversed.
The conference has four new coaches this year.
Scott Frear takes over at Saint Mary, Pat Ross at Ottawa, Chris Douglas at Southwestern, and David Cunningham at McPherson.

UMKC selects coach for track, cross-country
UMKC
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The University of Missouri-Kansas City named Irv Ray head coach for track and cross-country.
Ray held the same positions for the last five years at California Baptist University, where his masters' team
men won the 1999 NAIA indoor national championship.
Ray was named to the Olympic Develop-
Olympic Development Middle and Long Distance Committee as chairman of the men's national 1,500-meter team in 1999.
He was Golden State Athletic Conference track and field coach of the year in 2001.

JaRon Rush sentenced for drunken driving
KANSAS CITY, Mo- Former UCLA forward JaRon Rush pleaded guilty to drunken driving charges and was sentenced to probation.
Rush is the older brother of Kareem Rush, a
Ucla BRUINS
standout at Missouri who was recently drafted by the Toronto Raptors and traded to the Los Angeles Lakers. JaRon Rush pleaded guilty in
Jonah Rush pleaded guilty in Jackson County
Circuit Court to drive while intoxicated and careless and imprudent driving. He was stopped May 21 for weaving between lanes on a south Kansas City residential street. Police said a test showed Rush's blood alcohol level
was.31 percent, nearly four times Missouri's legal limit of.08.
Under the plea agreement, Rush received a suspended imposition of sentence and must serve two years probation. The terms of the probation include substance abuse and alcohol treatment programs.
Rush helped Pambroke Hill win consecutive Class 2A state high school basketball championships in 1997 and 1998. The titles were later stripped because AAU coach Myron Piggie made illegal gifts to the Rush brothers and other players. Rush left after his sophomore season at UCLA, but was not selected in the NBA Draft.
Rush was invited to the Seattle SuperSonics' training camp last year and was the team's final cut. He played in only 14 games before being dropped by the Roanoke Dazzle of the NBA's Developmental League. In February, Rush was cut from the practice squad of the ABA's Kansas City Knights for missing practice. He had been with the team for just three weeks.
Boxer Laila Ali wins wins first world title
LAS VEGAS — With father Muhammad Ali cheering her on, Laila Ali won her first world boxing title Saturday night.
Ali stopped Suzy Taylor at 1:11 of the second round to win the IBA super middleweight championship.
"I was just getting started," said Ali, 12-0 with nine knockouts. "I was just getting warmed up."
After Ali backed Taylor into the corner with lefts and rights to the head, Taylor grabbed and clinched. Referee Kenny Bayless separated the fighters, and Taylor (10-7-1) slumped in the corner, prompting Bayless to stop the fight.
Muhammad Ali received a standing ovation when he entered the arena during the fifth round of the co-main event between Armenia's William Abelyan and Panama's Orlando Soto.
Abelayan stopped Soto in the 10th round to win the NABO featherweight title. Abelayan improved to 20-4-1.

SAToday ranks CU volleyball
Staff Reports Colorado Daily via U-WIRE
BOULDER, Colo. - The Colorado volleyball team is ranked 21 in the USA Today/AVCA Division I Couches Top 25 Presence Poll. The Top 25
CU
standing marks the fourth time in six years the Buffalo have been ranked in a preseason poll under
head coach Piit Aiu, and the first time since 1999.
"I think it a fair ranking." Aiu said.
"We lost a few players but also signed
some good young players and also have four seniors to lead this year's team. I don't put a lot of weight in rankings, especially preseason, but it's nice recognition for the program."
"One thing is for sure," Alu said. "With all the ranked teams we play in the preseason, we probably won't stay in the same position, we will either move up if we can pull out some wins or probably drop out if we can't."
Colorado volleyball has now been ranked nine times out of the past 11 preseason polls and this is the 100th time they have appeared in the AVCA poll since the first year of CU volleyball in 1986.
four Big 12 Teams are ranked heading into 2002 with four other teams receiving votes. Of the 10 preseason opponents on the Buffs' schedule, five are ranked with one more receiving votes.
CU's first three matches of the season are against No. 11 UCLA, No. 9 Ohio State, and No. 5 Hawaii at the 15th Annual Hawaiian Airlines Wahine Classic in Honolulu Aug. 30-Sept. 1.
This is the first time in Colorado volleyball history that the Buffs will start a season against three ranked opponents.
Gamecocks' squad 'well balanced'
By Matt Rothenberg.
The Gamecock via U-WIRE
COLUMBIA, S.C. - The 2002 version of the South Carolina Lady Gamecock volleyball team should be just as fierce, if not more so, than any other team in the program's history. With six returning seniors, this veteran bunch will once again make themselves a force throughout the Southeastern Conference and the nation.
Megan Hosp and Cally Plumer, both All-Region and All-SEC first teamers, are at the core of a
strong group of upperclassmen. Plummer, a right side hitter, led the team last year in total kills and kills per game with 359 and 3.68 respectively. One of three Lady Game-cocks to appear in all 92 games. Plummer also contributed solid defense, leading USC in dugs with 256, while notching a team high 50 service aces. Hosp was the top setter last season, with 1,113 assists to her credit. With 2.47 digs per game, she also proved to be a capable leader on defense.
Returning seniors and All-SEC honorees Berna Dwyer and Nadia
Sfeervich bring additional punch to the volleyball court. Dwyer, a three-time All-SEC middle blocker, had 189 kills in 2001 while chipping in with 54 blocks and 28 service aces. Sfeervich, an outside hitter, placed second on the team with 297 kills while leading with 32 receptions on the season.
Sam Alban and Yajiraa Cadet round out the senior class. Alban is a force along the net, with 67 blocks in 2001 and just under two kills per game. Cadet, an outside hitter, was among team leaders in several categories last season.

Beem never flinched.
"I'm still surprised at myself," Beem said. "I'm elated beyond belief. I was a lot more in control of my emotions than I ever have been under that kind of pressure."
Unlikely champion Beem tops Woods on PGA tour
Beem hit a 5-wood to within 6 feet for an eagle on the 11th hole to seize control, then put the finishing touches on a fearless round by rolling in a 35-foot birdie putt on No. 16 to thwart a final charge from Woods.
CHASKA,Minn. — Playing as if he had nothing to lose, Rich Beem buried Tiger Woods and captured a PGA Championship even he thought he had no business winning.
Beem stared down the world's best player under the stiffling pressure of a major championship at Hazeltine on Sunday, closing with a 4-under 68 for a one-stroke victory over Woods.
Seven years ago. Beem was selling car stereos and cell phones for $7 an hour. Even after the third round, he said guys like him weren't supposed to win majors.
The Associated Press
Woods did his part. Unwilling to give up after back-to-back bogeys, Woods birdied the final four holes to keep alive fleeting hopes of becoming the first player to win the three U.S. majors in the same year.
Surprise!
He finished off his incredible round with a harmless three-petit bogey on the 18th, lifted his arms and did a shimmy shake under the bright skies of Minnesota before taking a bow.

Woods watched the final putt on a television in the scoring trailer. He had told caddie Steve Williams that four birdies on the final four holes would be enough to win the tournament.
"I went ahead and birdied out, and we didn't win," Woods said. "At least I gave it my best effort. We just came out a little bit short."
Woods closed with a 67, matching the best score of the day.
What set Beem apart from a long list of surprising winners — John Daly, Wayne Grady, Mark Brooks — was the guv chasing him.
Chris Riley shot a 70 and was another stroke back, his best finish in a major and good for a trip to the Masters next year.
The season's final major has seen this before. Beem, who finished at 10-under 278, became the 12th player to make the PGA Championship his first major victory.

Woods showed up quickly with three birdies and two amazing pairs on the front nine, putting him just one stroke behind Beem with nine holes to play.
And Beem didn't buckle. He simply continued to blast awav.
Hitting driver on just about every hole and attacking the pins, Beem turned a one-stroke advantage into a six-stroke lead over Woods in a matter of four holes.
The biggest was his 5-wood second shot on the 597 yard 11th hole.
"Come on! Come on!" Beem yelled as the ball soared over a cluster of bunkers, landed on the front of the green and didn't stop rolling until it was 6 feet from the cup. He made that for eagle to get to 10 under.
knew who was on key. A scoreboard was directly behind the cup on No. 13 as Woods stood over a 12-foot birdie putt that would have pulled him within two strokes of the lead. Instead, he three-putted for bogey, then dropped another shot on the next hole.
Woods played in the group ahead of Beem, although he knew who was on top.

The key putt came on No. 16, the hole where Payne Stewart won the 1991 U.S. Open at Hazeltine. Beem begged his 9-iron to clear a marsh on the corner of Lake Hazeltine, and it barely did. His 35-foot birdie putt was true.

Not bad for a guy who gave up the game in 1995 and decided he was better off in a blue-collar job.
He was called a "one-hit wonder" when he won the Kemper Open as a rookie in 1999, especially when he didn't have any top 10s the next year and only narrowly kept his job for this season.

the water — and he never gave it back. "He just trusted and believed in himself and he got the job done." Woods said. "Sometimes it may be a benefit to be a little naive in a situation."
Leonard had been in that situation before, but simply didn't have the game Sunday to stay with Beem.
Beem took the lead for the first time with a bogey on No. 8 — Justin Leonard made double bogey by hitting into the water — and he never gave it back.
The '97 British Open champion, and a runner-up at Carnoustie three years ago, Leonard struggled to hit fairways and greens. His three-stroke lead was gone after four holes, and he wound up with a 77, tied for fourth with Fred Funk (73) at 284.
He chipped in for par on the first hole, and had an even better save on No. 8. From thick rough between two bunkers to a downhill pin with water behind the green. Woods hit a flop shot that stopped within a foot of the hole.
It was reminiscent of Woods' battle with unheralded Bob May at Valhalla two years ago at the PGA, which Woods finally won in a playoff for his third straight major.
Beem was even better than that, and Woods made two mistakes that proved costly.
Woods started the day five shots off the lead but got into contention with three birdies and two big pars.
Despite Beem's victory two weeks ago in the International, not many people knew him or expected much out of him in a major championship.
He was one stroke out of the lead, with nine holes to play against a former stereo salesman, and all signs pointed to his ninth major championship.
They will now.

VAUDEREIL DORION, Quebec

Se Ri Pak of South Korea was alone at even-par 288. Charlotta Sorenstam of Sweden and Gloria Park of South Korea finished another stroke back.
It only briefly sprinkled on Sunday, but as predicted the nasty wind returned with a vengeance, gusting over 50 mph all day and playing havoc with every shot at Summerlea Golf and Country Club. The top 10
players combined for 33 bogeys, four double bogeys and one triple bogey, and only Canadian Lorie Kane broke par (71).
The wind made every hole see like Summerlea's signature hole. That distinction, however, belongs to the 344-yard, par-4 No. 12, with its hard-sloping green and narrow fairway, and it was Matthew's undoing. After going 1 under at 12 through the first three rounds, she drove into the teeth of the wind, and it swept the ball out of sight into the left trees.
Forced to take a drop, which cost her a penalty stroke. Matthew managed to chip onto the fairway and put her fourth shot on the fringe. She chipped to 7 feet but needed two putts to get down and dropped to 4 under.
Mallon, who had birdied 11 to move into a tie for the lead, had her problems on the hole, too, when her putt for birdie rolled well past the hole and the wind kept pushing if farther away. When she went to mark it, it rolled some more, nearly costly her a penalty, and she ended up with bogey.
Mallon bowed 13, too, but Mattiew's tricky 5-foot putt for par on the rim hirmed the cup and stayed out as she squatted and turned her head in frustration. Matthew never recovered, carding bogey at Nos. 15 and 18.
Matthew, who ended the third round with two straight birdies, made it three in a row at No. 1 to open a two-shot lead over Mallon, whose first drive of the day landed in a fairway bunker.
Matthew, used to playing in the wind in her native Scotland, continued her steady play with 10 straight pars. Mallon managed par at No. 1 and moved within one shot of the lead with a birdie at the sixth hole.
Pak, who began the day three shots behind, took herself out of contention early with a disastrous double bogey at the par-5 third hole.
at the palace. Pak's second shot landed in the right rough some 50 yards in front of the elevated green. Her third shot landed about two-thirds of the way up the hill in front of the green, then rolled slowly back down as she bit her lower lin in dismay.
The agony wasn't over. She also pulled her next shot and it didn't make the green, either. She barely made it on the green with her next shot, then two-putted to drop to 1 under. A bogey at No. 4 put her at even par and her day was done.
park, who almost dropped out of the tournament on Thursday because of a cold and sinus troubles, also bogeyed the fourth hole to drop to 2 under. But she birdied No. 7 and held a chip for eagle at the par-5 ninth hole to move to 5 under and within two shots of the lead.
The rally was short-lived. She boyed 10 and 12 and had double bogey at 13 to end her chances.
Karrie Webb, who was four shots behind at the start of play, bogeyed twice in the first four holes to fall back to even par. She rallied back to 2 under with consecutive birdies on Nos. 7 and 8, but a double bogey at 10 spoiled any chance at the title. She finished at 292 after a closing 78.

Baseball fans still see Musial as 'The Man'
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — Wearing his Cardinal red sports jacket and flashing an ever-present smile, Stan Musial is still "The Man" in St. Louis.
These days, Musial walks a little slower. He's slightly bent over. His hearing isn't as keen. He had successful surgery for prostate cancer in 1989 and has had no recurrence.
"Well, I'm hanging in there," Musial said "You know when you get to be 81, every day is a blessing and every year is a blessing. I'm feeling pretty good."
But it has been a melancholy time for
Cardinals
mussel, who has seen three close friends die in recent months: Longtime Cardinals broadcaster Jack Buck in June, Ted Williams in July and former teammate Enos "Country" Slaughter earlier this week.
Musial and Williams were contemporaries, arguably the best players in their respective leagues through much of the 1940s and '50s. Later, they worked together on the Hall of Fame veterans committee.
"Ted was a great student of baseball," Musial said. "He was the greatest bitter of our era."
Better than Musial himself?
"When I get asked about Ted Williams, I always say, "He was good, too." Musial loked.
Williams' death spurred debate about who is the greatest living hitter. Some say Willie Mays or Hank Aaron. In St. Louis, the debate begins and ends with Stan The Man, a nickname coined by longtime Post-Dispatch writer Bob Broeg who heard Brooklyn Dodgers fans lamenting "Here comes that man," when Musial would stride to the plate.
in 22 seasons, all with the Cardinals, Musial hit .331 with 475 homers and 3,630 hits. He won five batting titles and led the league in hits six times, doubles eight times, triples five times, runs five times. He retired in 1963 and was elected to the Hall of Fame on the first ballot.
Musial served as the Cardinals' general manager in 1967, the year they beat the Boston Red Sox in the World Series. He co-owned a restaurant here for many years and has been involved in other ventures. Now, he owns Stan the Man Inc., which specializes in merchandise autographed by Musial. He still goes to the office a couple of times a week.
And he's still a fixture at Busch Stadium always wearing one of three bright red sports jackets he keeps just for the ballpark. Often, he'll pull a harmonica from the pocket, sometimes to play "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" for the crowd.
He's still an important presence. He spoke eloquently at a memorial service for Buck at the
stadium, and was there in Cooperstown, N.Y. when Ozzie Smith was inducted into the Hall of Fame last month.
Musial, a Polish-American originally from the steel mill town Donora, Pa., recently attended a state dinner at the White House at the behest of President Bush. Musial's friend, Poland president Aleksander Kwasniewski, was in the country on a state visit.
"Bush is a great baseball fan," Musial said.
On Sunday, Musial was at the unveiling of Smith's statue at Busch Stadium. In typical fashion, as Cardinals owner Bill DeWitt Jr. recited Smith's many accomplishments, Musial reached over and grabbed Smith's knee.
"Did you really do all of that?" Musial teased.
"Did you really do all of that? Musial teased. Musial's own statue, the oldest and largest among a dozen now outside of Busch, is posed in his famed crouched batting position. Engraved on it are these words: "Here stands baseball's perfect warrior. Here stands baseball's perfect knight."
"What I enjoyed was being a big-league ballplayer and putting on a Cardinals uniform every day and having fun," Musial said.
That sort of attitude still endears him to baseball-loving St. Louis, and people associated with the Cardinals.
"Everybody's a Musial fan," said former manager White Herzog.
Even other Cardinals' Hall-of-Famers go up to Muslou. Lou Brock called him "my idol."
Red Seboondienst. Musial's longtime teammate and roommate, said, "They don't call him Stan The Man" for nothing."
Before a recent game, Musial meandered around the team's clubhouse. He spied newcomer Scott Rolen, acquired at the trade deadline from Philadelphia.
Musial keeps close tabs on the game. Ever optimistic, he believes a strike will be avoided.
"I have a good feeling a strike isn't going to happen," Musial said. "I think both sides know a strike doesn't help anybody out."
"Look at today." Cardinals manager LaRussa said. "Rolen met Stan Musial for the first time today and they talked about what its like in spring training. Just two ballplayers talking."
He appreciates Barry Bonds, whose 73 homers last season topped the record of 70 set just four years ago by Cardinals first baseman Mark McGwire. Bonds recently hit his 600th homer and has a legitimate shot at Aaron's career record of 755.
"Barry's gotten better as the years have gone on." Musial said. "He's got a good, level swing. He's a credit to the game hitting all those home runs."
"The thing about golf with me is this: I wish that ball was about a foot higher and moving." Musial said. "I'd tell you about what to do with it."
Even on the golf course, Musial still thinks like a hitter.
Players union sets strike date for Aug.30
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Just two weeks remain for baseball to save its season and perhaps even its status as the national pastime.
Players set an Aug. 30 strike date Friday, moving the sport closer to its ninth work stoppage in three decades and angering fans sick of money squabbles.
The executive board of the players association voted 57-0 for the deadline, just four days after raising hopes for a deal by delaying a decision.
Players were upset by management's lack of movement on the key issue of a luxury tax on high-payroll teams, but owners accused the union of refusing to agree to more compromises.
Players are reluctant to have rules that would reduce salary increases.
"The baseball owners and baseball players must understand if there is a work stoppage, a lot of fans are going to be furious, and I'm one of them," said President Bush, former owner of the Texas Rangers.
i any argue the luxury tax, when combined with additional revenue sharing, would act as a salary cap.
"Clearly, the luxury tax is a major obstacle that has to be resolved before we're going to get an agreement," union head Donald Fehr said. "I think an agreement can be reached."
Baseball has a perfect record in labor talks, with eight stoppages in eight negotiations since 1972. The disruptions were caused primarily by management's attempts to slow salaries in the free-agent era, which began in 1976.

"It's ridiculous," Brian Ordoff, a 24-year-old locksmith, said at Baltimore's Camden Yards. "Most of the players make over $1 million a year. School teachers make it on 30 grand. What do they have to complain about? If they get what they want, ticket prices will go up. I'm not paying to watch million-dollar crybabies."
The sport generated $3.5 billion in revenue in 2001, and the average salary rose to a record $2.38 million at the start of this season.
The last contract expired Nov. 7, and owners chose not to lock out the players after the World Series or before this season. Players fear owners would lock them out or change work rules if this season ends without a deal, and the union would rather threaten a strike heading into the final stages of playoff races, when the owners have more money to lose.
Chicago Cubs chief executive officer Andy MacPhail called the union's relegation "regrettable," and Bob DuPuy, baseball's chief operating officer, was "disappointed." Commissioner Bud Selig did not comment.
"If you take a step back, it seems to me there's been considerable progress made." MacPhail said. "It seems to me we have one more hurdle to overcome."
If players walk out on the Friday of Labor Day weekend and the season is not completed, they would lose 16 9 percent of their base salaries. Texas
shorstop Alex Rodriguez stands to lose the most, nearly $3.6 million of his $21 million salary this year. A player at the $200,000 minimum would lose about $34,000.
"The average fan has already gone to other sports: soccer, golf and hockey." Rodriguez said. "That's sad. I just want to see us stop losing our fans."
A strike would take valuable time away from 38-year-old Barry Bonds, who just hit career home No. 600 and needs another 156 to break Hank Aaron's record.
The walkout also would spoil a dream season for the AL. Centraleading Minnesota Twins, a team baseball wanted to fold over the winter but is now headed for its first postseason appearance since 1991.
The St. Louis Cardinals' game at the Chicago Cubs on Aug. 30 would be the first affected by a strike. Fourteen games are scheduled for that night.
"Sept. 11 is a huge issue," Minnesota's Denny Hocking said. "If there is no baseball on 9-11, it would be a slap in the face to all those people who went through 9-11 firsthand."
Players don't want to go on strike especially because of the first anniver sary of the terrorist attacks.
"If nothing gets done," he said, "I think that means owners don't want to get something done."
Arizona's Mark Grace hopes "owners will realize that, Gosh, the players have given a lot."
Management disputed that assessment, saying it was willing to bargain and the union walked away from talks Thursday.
"We made the last proposal! They said no more proposals. They set a strike date." DuPay said.
In their latest proposal, owners asked for a 50 percent tax on the portions of payrolls over $102 million next year (including 40-man rosters and benefits), a level that six or seven teams will be above this year. They believe that tax would increase competitive balance.
The union, according to management, offered a tax that would start at $130 million next year.

The Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Tangan Sturzer snapped his ninegame winless streak and Aubrey Huff homered and drove in three runs as the Tampa Bay Devil Rays beat the Kansas City Royals 8-6 on Sunday.

Toby Hall hit an RBI double, and Brent Anberathy had a run-scoring single during a three-run seventh to put the Devil Rays ahead 8-4.
Jeff Suppan (8-13) lost his sixth straight start, allowing five runs and eight hits in 5 1-3 innings. The right-hander, who hasn't won since beating the Chicago White Sox on July 17, struck out five, walked four and had three wild pitches.
Suppan has given up 53 hits in his last 35 2-3 innings.
Shortstop Andy Sheets injured his leg in the ninth while chasing Carlos Beltran's bloop single to center. He collided with second baseman Abernathy and was helped from the field by two trainers.
Sweeney went 2-for-4 with three RBIs. He is hitting 355 and has homered in consecutive games.
Sweeney hit an RBI double during a four-run third that gave the Royals a 4-3 lead. Kit Pellow had a run-scoring single for his first major league hit before Luis Alicea and A.J. Hinch walked with the bases loaded on 3-2 pies with two outs

Rangers' Rodriguez stays on streak, top of his game
The Associated Press
ARLINGTON, Texas — Alex Rodriguez just might make A MVP voters forget he's on a team headed for its third straight last-place finish.
Despite it that has gone wrong around him, Rodriguez is at the top of his game, becoming just the sixth player in major league history with five straight 40-homer seasons.
"I'm taking extreme pride in finishing the season with a lot of energy and a lot of pride," he said.
Rodriguez hit three home runs in the Texas

Alex Rodriguez
Rangers' 9-5 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday, a night after his ninth-inning shot capped his 4-for-4 effort in a 6-5 win over Toronto.
"I don't know if it's greater to kick it in when you're in a playoff stretch or kick it in when your team is in last place at this point in the season," Texas manager Jerry Nar-
Rodriguez's first-i-ming home Saturday was his 40th of the season.
He added Nos. 41 and 42 later in the game to move within one of the major league lead held by the Cubs' Sammy Sosa, who hit his 43rd Saturday.
Babe Ruth holds the major league record of
seven straight 40-homer seasons, from 1926-32. This is Sosa's fifth straight 40-homer season, and the feat also has been accomplished by Ralph Kiner, Duke Snider and Ken Griffey Jr. Rodriguez's 107 RBs through Saturday led the majors. It's his fifth straight season with at least 100.
"We're playing baseball and he's playing video games, up there pushing buttons and doing whatever he wants," Rangers second baseman Michael Young said.
His average had gone from .311 to .323,
fourth in the AL. Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki leads
the league at 344.
Going into Sunday night's game against Toronto, Rodriguez had hits in eight of his last nine at-bats and a 10-game hitting streak.
Rodriguez led all AL shortstops with a .991 fielding average, making just five errors in his first 559 chances. He had gone 45 straight games without an error.
The pitching-poor Rangers, though, entered Sunday at 53-68, a whopping 20 games behind the first-place Mariners in the four-team AL West.
No player from a last-place team has won an MVP award since Andre Dawson of the Cubs in 1987, when he led the NL in homers and RBIs.
Rodriguez was sixth in the MVP voting last season, when he led the AL with 52 homers while hitting .318 with 135 RBIs for another last-place Rangers team.
He finished second to Juan Gonzalez in 1996.

New Longhorns squad shines in scrimmage
AUSTIN, Texas - Texas head coach Mack Brown wasn't looking to game plan in Thursday afternoon's first preseason scrimmage at Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. He just wanted to see which of the younger, less experienced players would step up.
"We're just trying to find where everybodyfits," offensive coordinator Greg Davis said.
True freshman running back Selvin Young's stock is definitely rising. Young had a 69 yard run on a counter play behind the first team offense that would set up a touchdown. Young finished with 116 yards on 11 carries.
Several of the players should have turned the coaches heads, as most of the first team players only stayed on the field for 10 to 15 plays.
"I don't even have to tell you about Selvin Young — he is the real deal," quarterback Chris Simms said. "He is quite a player."
Brown said sophomore Tony jeffery is finally starting to get comfortable at his receiver role now after being a quarterback
Here are some of the playmakers in the scrimmage:
"I don't even have to tell you about Selvin Young—he is the real deal. He is quite a player."
in high school. He looked like it with two catches for 43 yards, one an 11-yard touchdown from Simms.
Chris Simms Texas quarterback
Simms didn't stay on the field for long, but he dida complete 3-of-6 passes for 34 yards. Backup quarterback Chance Mock had a productive outing, going 6-for-10 for 60 yards and a 13-yard touchdown pass to Sloan Thomas. Brown said he was pleased with Mock's performance.
True freshman defensive lineman Rodrigue Wright had eight tackles, one sack
and one batted-down pass, and Stevie Stigall had five tackles and one batted-down pass. Five other players had at least three tackles.
Freshman quarterback Vince Young went 2-for-3 for 49 yards, and he also picked up a fumble and carried it in for a touchdown.
Robert Timmons, a true freshman wide receiver, caught two passes for 42 yards. Davis said Timmons has the ability to make great plays.
"He has the knack, like Roy [Williams], B.J. [Johnson] and Sloan [Thomas], with people close to him to get the ball," Davis said.
"And he's hard to bring down once he gets the ball."
The Longhorns' only blunder in the scrimmage was that they made only 2-of-5 field goals, jcs Fields.
Dusty Mangum made two, from 51 and 37 yards, and he missed another 37-yarder. David Pino had one blocked and also missed one.
Texas will continue two a-day workouts Friday at 8 a.m. and again at 7:35 p.m., both at Frank Denius Athletics Fields. The next scrimmage will be Saturday at 7:45 a.m. and again Wednesday at 6 p.m. at Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.
Rockies' Walker slows scorching Braves
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Larry Walker homered twice and Jay Payton had four hits as the Colorado Roekies handed Atlanta consecutive losses for the first time in more than a month, beating the Braves 6-3 Sunday.
Payton homered and tied his career high with four of 15 hits off Greg Maddux, who came in leading the NL with a 2.51 ERA. The four-time Cy Young winner had not given up that many hits in a game since the New York Yankees also had 13 on June 3, 2000.
Walker, who had four RBIs, hit a tiebreaking homer in the seventh against Maddux (11-5), a 414-foot shot on an 0-2 pitch. The Rockies slugger added his 25th of the season, a two-run shot in the ninth off Kerry Ligtenberg.
Payton singled three times before hitting his 10th homer in the seventh, giving the Rockies a 4-2 lead.
The Braves, despite baseball's best record, have lost two in a row to the Rockies at Turner Field. It's the first losing streak for Atlanta since it dropped three in a row July 13-15.
On Monday, the finale of the four game series, Colorado will try to become only the second team since early May to beat the Braves in a series.
Rockies starter Jason Jennings (14-5) was hit in the head by a pitch in the second inning, but bounced back to work six solid innings. He allowed five hits and two runs.
Marcus Giles brought the Braves within a run, starting the seventh with a pinch-hit homer off reliever
Kent Mercker. But the Rockies' shaky bullpen stymed Atlanta the rest of the way, with Jose Jimenez working a scoreless ninth for his 3rd save.
Matt Franco tied his career high with three hits, including two doubles, for the Braves.
Colorado set the tone against Maddux in the first inning, stringing together three hits and taking a 1-0 lead. Walker drove in the run with a groundout.
Maddux didn't have his usual pinpoint control, which resulted in a scary moment for Jennings.
A high, inside fastball struck the Colorado pitcher near the bill of his helmet as he batted in the second. Jennings flopped facefirst into the dirt and remained down for several minutes, but he was OK.
In the bottom half, Jennings and both benches were warned when he hit Vinny Castilla in the back with a slow curve to start the inning. The Braves went on to score two runs on Maddux's grounder and Rafael's Furcal RBI single.
Jennings escaped a bases-loaded jam when, on another frightening play, he gloved a liner heading straight for his face off the bat of Chincher Jones.
Colorado strung together three more hits in the fourth, including Brent Butler's RBI single that tied it at 2.
Notes:
■ Giles hit the second pinch-hit homer of the season for the Braves. Keith Lockhart had the first on June 24 against the New York Mets.

Major League roundup
National League
Cardinals 5, Phillies 1
PHILADELPHIA — Edgar Renteria hit his first career grand slam, leading Matt Morris and the St. Louis Cardinals over the Philadelphia Phillies 5-1 Sunday before a crowd of 58,493.
The Phillies honored Hall of Fame broadcaster Harry Kalas, and fans got dual bobblehead dolls featuring the popular announcer and Hall of Famer Richie Ashburn.
The first sellout crowd of the season at Veterans Stadium, however, did not get another chance to boo former Philies star Scott Rolen. The third baseman, traded to the Cardinals on July 29, did not play because of a sore left shoulder.
Morris (15-7) scattered eight hits in eight innings en route to his third consecutive win. He walked none and struck out six.
Morris allowed four hits in the first two innings, but worked out of a pair of first-and-second jams. He retired 16 of the next 19 hitters before Bobby Abreu ended the shutout bid in the eighth with his 13th homer of the season.
J. D. Drew led off with a single and Jim Edmonds reached base when his potential double-play grounder rolled underneath first baseman
The NL Central-leading Cardinals broke up a scoreless game in the sixth against Vicente Padilla (12-8).
Travis Lee's glove for an error.
Albert Pujols delivered a RBI single and Tino Martinez loaded the bases with a single. Renteria, who had struck out the previous two atbats, hit a drive into the right-field bullpen for his ninth homer of the season.
Renteria batted with the bases loaded again in the seventh and flied out to the warning track in left field off reliever Rheal Cormier.
Padilla, who took a NL-best 1.91 home ERA into the game, allowed five runs and six hits in six innings.
The Cardinals threatened in the third when they loaded the bases with one out, Padilla avoided major damage, striking out Edmonds and getting Pujols to fly out to left, where Pat Burrell made a niffy sliding catch.
Notes: Renteria leads all NLs, shortorts with 61 RBs.
Morris hasn't issued a walk in three of his last four starts. ... The Cardinals have hit four grand slams this season. ... The start of the game was delayed 34 minutes because of ceremonies for Kalas.
Expos 9. Padres 2
MONTREAL — Jose Vidro homered twice and Jose Macias hit a three-run shot to lead Tomo Ohka and the Montreal Expos over the San Diego Padres 9-2 Sunday.
Ohka (10-6) pitched his first complete game in 60 career starts, allowing 11 hits. He walked none and struck out three.
Ohka was helped when Ryan Klesko missed first base and was called out on appeal, wiping out what would've been an RBI double
and ending the third inning
The Expos scored five times in the second. Macias hit his three-run homer off Jake Peavy (4-5) after Wil Cordero drew a leadoff walk and Orlando Cabrera singled.
Brian Schneider doubled and two outs later Vidro hit his 14th homer of the season. Vidro added another two-run shot in the fourth for an 8-1 lead.
Dodgers 2, Mets 1
NEWYORK — Marquis Grissom tripled, doubled and scored twice as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat New York 2-1 Sunday, sending the Mets to their 11th straight home loss and eighth in a row overall.
Andy Ashby (9-9) allowed one run on four hits in seven innings to earn just his second victory in 10 decisions.
Eric Gagne pitched the ninth for his 43rd save.
Mets starter Steve Trachsel (8-9) allowed both Dodgers runs on six hits. He struck out six and walked three.
Grissom tripped with one out in the third and scored on Adrian Beltré's single. Two innings later, he led off with a double, went to third on another Beltré single, and scored on Shawn Green's sacrifice fly.
Pirates 3, Brewers 2
PITTSBURGH — Adam Hyzdu homered and drove in two runs and Mike Williams set a team record with his 35th save, preserving the Pittsburgh Pirates' 5-2 win Sunday over the Milwaukee Brewers.
Williams pitched a perfect ninth inning to break the club mark of 54
saves set by Jim Gott in 1988.
Bronson Arroyo (1-1) made his second start of the season and allowed two runs on seven hits over five innings. He was followed by five relievers.
Glendon Rusch (6-13) has lost eight of his last nine decisions.
Pokey Reese and Jack Wilson opened the Pirates first with singles and Aramis Ramirez hit a sacrifice fly. Kevin Young walked and Hyzdu's single drove in the second run.
Hyzdu hit his eighth homer in the fourth inning
Tigers 7. Orioles 4
BALTIMORE — Robert Fick snapped out of a dump with three hits and two RBIs, and the Detroit Tigers shook off three homers by the Baltimore Orioles in a 7-4 victory Sunday.
American League
The Orioles trailed 4-1 in the fifth before Mora hit a two-run homer and Chris Richard's solo shot.
the Tigers regained the lead in the sixth against Chris Brock (1-1). With George Lombard at third and Damian Jackson at first, Bobby Higginson lined out to second baseman Jerry Hairston. Seeking the double play, Hairston threw toward first, but the ball hit Jackson's foot and bounced away as Lombard raced home.
Detroit used run-scoring singles by Walbeck and pinch-hitter Hiram Bocachica to make it 7-4 in the seventh.
Adam Bernero (3-7) pitched 2.2-3
scoreless innings and Juan Acevedo
worked the ninth for his 24th save.

Penalties contribute to Texans' loss Chiefs hopefuls see preseason opportuni
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — This is the way expansion teams are supposed to play.
The Houston Texans, in their third game, were called for more than 100 yards in penalties Saturday night and had numerous dropped passes and missed assignments as the Kansas City Chiefs handed them a 19-9 exhibition loss.
"Until tonight, I'd been proud of the way our football team has played from the standpoint of going out and not being a heavily penalized team," Houston coach Dom Capers said.
"But for whatever reason, we did just the opposite. It's a great example of that you don't have a chance to win in the National Football League if you go and get penalized 18 or 19 times."
When the first-teammers were in for Houston (1-2) most of the first half, they were penalized nine times for 45 yards. Then in the second half when things got really sloppy, the Texans ran their penalty total to 19 for 101 yards.
"You don't have a chance if you drop passes, miss tackles, make mental errors. We did all the things that football teams do to beat themselves," Capers said.
The Chiefs, on the other hand, got
another onencouraging game from Trent Green, the NFL's most intercepted quarterback of 2001 who is spotless so far in 2002.
HORSE HEADS
Playing into the second quarter, Green was 7-of-10 for 73 yards and led Kansas City on a 64-yard scoring drive on its first post.
on its first possession.
"Trent did a pretty good job." Chiefs coach Dick Vermell said. "When he's in there, we're pretty efficient."
Vermeil, who took a tumble in the fourth quarter when Houston quarterback Mike Quinn was knocked into him, called it "a typical preseason game."
"We actually did a few things halfway decent early in the ball game," he said. "Later, we got sloppy."
Green, who throw 24 interceptions in his first season back from major knee surgery, also directed a TD drive in his only appearance in the exhibition opener a week ago. He's 12-of-16 for 113 yards altogether in what the Chiefs are hoping to be a strong rebound season for their 32-year old quarterback
The Chiefs (2-0) also got an encouraging game from 21-year vet.
erun Morten Andersen, who kicked four field goals.
David Carr, the No. 1 overall draft pick last spring, was 8-of-15 for 123 yards. Thirty-seven yards came on a loss to running back James Allen, who broke through the center of the Chiefs defense.
On their second possession, Carr connected with Jermaine Lewis for 36 yards. A roughing-the-passer penalty on Eric Hicks tacked 15 yards onto the play and set up Kris Brown's 30-yard field goal.
Priest Holmes, the 2001 NFL rushing champion, capped an 11-play, 64-yard drive on the Chiefs' opening possession with a 10-yard TD run around the left end. Holmes carried 6 times for 20 yards.
Andersen, who turns 42 on Monday, had field goals of 44, 32, 32 and 37 yards and is a 5-for-5 in two exhibition games. His 37-yarder was set up by Richard Jordan's interception of Kent Graham's pass in the third quarter.
"As the game went on, I was able to strike the ball quite a bit better. I'm a work in progress." Andersen said. "I'll just keep trying to keep on and improve on this field and on this Bermuda grass. It's a beautiful playing surface. With repetition, I'll get better."
The Texans' scoring came on field
goals of 50, 42 and 20 yards by Dow. Jonathan Wells, a fourth-rank pick
out of Ohio State who's been vying for a starting spot in the Texans' backfield, averaged a shade under 5 yards on nine carries, including an 11-yard gain.
Things got especially ragged in the final quarter with all the first-teamers out of the game. A 27-yard pass from Jonathan Quinn to Dante Hall put the Chiefs in scoring position. But Quinn's pass bounced off Kirk Rogers' hands in the end zone and was intercepted by Jacoby Shepherd.
A moment later, R-Kal Trulock forced a Houston fumble that was recovered by Jordan, a four-year NFL veteran who signed as a free agent. But Lawrence Tynes missed a 42-yard field goal attempt.
With about 10 minutes left, Frank Moreau's fumble was recovered by Houston's Billy Granville on the Kansas City 9. But the Texans had to settle for Brown's 26-varder.
The Chiefs then recovered an onside kick on the Houston 25. A pass interference penalty on Toya Jones on the third down gave the Chiefs a first down. A 12-yard pass to J.J. Moses put the ball on the 7, but 'Tynes' 29-yard attempt was blocked by Uhuru Hamiter.
Tynes also had a field goal blocked.
"It was a low kick," said Vermell.
"A pappar could have blocked it."
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY Mo. — For players like J.J. Moses, R-Kal Truluck and Lawrence Tynes, the final score of Kansas City's preseason win over Houston had little meaning.
For the record, the Chiefs beat the expansion Texans 19-9 on Saturday night, led by starters Trent Green, who completed 70 percent of his passes, and Priest Holmes, who scored the game's only touchdown.
out for the players who aren't starters, those without a place on the final roster all but assured, the exhibition game provided a chance to show what they can do—and maybe, just maybe, win a job.
Moses, a shifty but undersized wide receiver and kick return made the
"Every time, I just go out and work hard, and I'll let the Lord handle that," said Moses, who is in his second Chilts camp in as many years. "I'm just thankful to be in this situation. All I can do is control the way I play on the football field."
most of his chance. So did Truluck, a defensive end who led the Arena Football League in sacks this year.
Moses left the Texans scrambling to catch up with him on a couple of punt returns, including one in which he reversed his field and turned an ovalardie situation into a 23-yard return.
Truluck, who played in Canada for three seasons before going indoors in 2001, had two sacks and forced a fumble late in Saturday night's game.
But while Truluck and Moses performed well, kicker Lawrence Tynes — already a long shot at best to beat out offseason acquisition Morten Andersen — didn't.
Andersen almost missed his first field goal attempt, but bounced the 44-yarder off the crossbar and through for a 10-3 lead in the second quarter. He also hit twice from 32 yards and once from 37.
Tynes, whose field goal in overtime gave Kansas City a 17-14 win over the 49ers, missed both of his attempts on Saturday night. He was wide right from 42 yards and had a 29-yard blocked.
Chiefs resemble Cowboys of early '90s
The Associated Press
RIVER FALLS. Wis.- Trent Green knows people compare the 2002 Kansas City Chiefs' offense to his old team, the St. Louis Rams. But he said the Chiefs remind him of a different Super Bowl team from a previous decade.
"Our team is much more molded like the Dallas teams of the early '90s," he said. "They had (Jay)
CHIEF'S
Novacek and we have (Tony) Gonzalez, two of the better tight ends in the history of the game. With Emmitt Smith), obviously Priest has to do it back-to-back-to-back years to get it to Emmitt's level. There's (fullback) Daryl Johnston and obviously Tony Richardson, then with the additions
of Johnnie Morton and Eddie Kennison, hopefully they can get to that level where I think we'd be much more comparable to that team than we are to St. Louis."
That is, if Green can fill the role played in Dallas by Iroy Aikman, and if Tony Gonzalez ends his holdout and rejoins his teammates in time for the start of the season.
As for the first point, Green said this is the best he's felt since throwing 23 touchdown passes for the Redskins in 1998. As for point No. 2, he said he's sure Gonzalez will be back and ready to play soon, and was encouraged by the tight end's visit to the Chiefs' locker room before the game last Saturday in San Francisco.
"I think that was great on his part because as hard as it is for him not to be there, it also takes a toll on the guys." Green said. "It was good to see him there and let everybody know.
- riley, look at me. I'm in shape. I've been working out; I'm ready to go. It's just this business part of it we've got to get taken care of but you guys can count on me once it's taken care of.' I think that really went a long way with the guys in the locker room."
Green said he even thinks the Chiefs' offensive line compares favorably with that of the Cowboys.
"Bringing Willie Roaf in has been a great addition, he brings an attitude not only to the left tuck spot but to the overall offensive line." Green said. "He brings an intensity to the position that carries over to the whole offensive line. And you've got to remember, that's a pretty solid offensive line to begin with."
Green said the only similarity he sees between this year's Chiefs team and the Rams is the Chiefs' new-found depth at wide receiver.
"Last year at this time we didn't
know who our starting wide receivers were going to be with all the injuries we had," he said. "Johnnie (Morton) and Eddie (Kennison), they're both playing really well. Now Dante Hall has grown over the last couple of weeks and hopefully we'll continue to grow toward the regular season. The rest of the receivers, there's great competition for that four five, six spot, and there's probably six guys vying for those spots."
As the Chiefs prepared to break training camp Friday, Green said his teammates share his optimism about the upcoming season.
"It's definitely an attitude where guys aren't focusing on the fact that we were 6-10 last year." he said. "We're focusing on the fact that we have a year in the system.
Better play needed says Chiefs Vermeil
The Associated Press
"Every position has got to be played better for us to win," he said.
RIVER FALLS. Wis. — Dick Vermeil takes a simple approach to improving the Kansas City Chiefs.
With just two days left before the team breaks training camp. Vermeil is still looking for the right mix to reach that goal. And while he's happy with the upgrade of talent at spots like wide receiver, he's concerned about other positions, such as the interior defensive line.
Vermeil said he's been very impressed with defensive end Eric Hicks. The coach said Hicks, who signed with the Chiefs as a free agent out of Maryland in 1998, is looking more like the player who recorded 14 sacks in 2000.
"He demonstrated that in the ball game the other day." Vermeil said about Hicks' performance in the
Chiefs' first pre-season game. "He's coming around that corner. To me, he shows a little more burst than I've seen him in the past."
While Hicks has shown indications of leading a strong outside pass rush for the Chiefs, Vermiliel said he's still looking for someone to step up and provide pressure inside. First-round draft pick Ryan Sims was expected to help the Chiefs in that area, but with the defensive tackle still not in camp, the inside pressure has been lacking.
"Duane Clemons (Tuesday) really was flashing, and John Browning has flashed, but we haven't had anyone flash inside as a pass rusher." Vermeil said, adding the Chiefs would likely move Browning inside in their nicked defense.
The Chiefs are hoping rookie Eddie Freeman and veterans Derrick Runsom and Eric Downing can give the line the push it needs inside.

LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN - 21B
Louisville routs Harlem
The Associated Press
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Zachary Osborne struck out 14 — the last two with the bases loaded in the sixth inning — as Louisville, Ky., beat Harlem 2-0 last night in pool play in the Little League World Series.
Osborne struck out Fernando Frias and Spencer White to end the game after the New York City team loaded the bases on hits by Javier Lopez, Alibay Barkley and Jorge Lopez.
"I was really nervous in the last inning," Osborne said. "Bases loaded, two outs, with their No. 5 hitter. I just took a deep breath, calmed down and struck the guy out."
Jeremy Lopez struck out eight for Holm (j-1).
Harlem manager Morris McWilliams described Kentucky as just an "all right" team with a good pitcher on the mound, saying the game turned on his team's errors.
"We committed three errors, and "that's how they scored," McWilliams said. "They didn't score any earned runs."
Osborne scored both runs for
Louisville (2-0).
He tripled down the right-field line in the third, and scored on a fielder's choice to give Louisville a 2-0 lead. Louisville loaded the bases with just one out, but Lopez struck out two.
"This is a huge win for us," said Louisville manager J. Troy Osborne, the pitcher's father. "Harlem is very aggressive, very big kids, very strong kids. When they hit, they hit the ball hard. We feel lucky to come out with a 2-0 record."
in other games, Apitos, Calif., beat Clemons, N.C., 11-8; Fort Worth, Texas, routed Waipaul, Hawaii, 8-0; Agana, Guam, beat Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, 9-6; and Monterrey, Mexico, rallied to beat Moscow 4-3.

Mexico overcomes Russia in fourth inning
The Associated Press
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pennsylvania — Rodolfo García and Diego Segura hit back-to-back solo home runs in the bottom of the fourth inning yesterday as Mexico rallied to beat Russia 4-3 Sunday in the Little Leauce World Series.
Mexico took a 1-0 lead in the first inning on Jose Angel Díaz's solo home run before Russia tallied three in the top of the second for 3-1 lead.
Kirill Chermoshtevson walked and scored when ivan Novikov's single to right field was misfieled for a two-base error.
Evgeni Vorotynysw walked and Novikov crossed the plate on the front end of a double steal before Dmiriti Tchaikovski's grounder to first base drove in the final run.
After scoring in the second innning on a double steal to cut Russia's lead to 3-2, Mexico regained the lead for good in the fourth on Garcia and Segura's home runs.
Russia threatened to tie the score in the sixth when Chermoshentsev doubled and went to third on a passed ball.
Missouri Little League team struggles
The Associated Press
SOUTH WILLIAMSport, Pa. Members of the Webb City, Mo., Little League team filed out of their dormitories Sunday morning in time for their appointed practice. But instead of heading down the hill to the practice fields, they marched up toward their families and a day away from baseball.
"We want to get the kids away for the day, get them with their families," manager Craig Powell said.
It's been a tough two days for Webb City, a team from a small town just north of Joplin in Missouri's southwestern corner. On Friday, Fort Worth, Texas, scored in the top of the sixth in beating Webb City 1-0 Webb City took a 1-0 lead early in its second game, but lost 2-1 to Worcester. Mass
"We've only given up three runs in two games. That's good." Powell said. "But we need to get our bats going. We need to get some offense."
webb City is a sports town that's used to winning. Webb City High School has won 29 consecutive games and the last two 4A state championships.
And there's no doubting the Little League team's toughness — Chance Sossamon took a shot to the head during infield practice Saturday morning and still threw nine strikeouts that night.
But it's unclear where they'll find the needed offense. Missouri got to the World Series because of another tough defensive performance, beating Grandview Little League of Des Moines, Iowa, 2-1 in the Midwest Regional final, Caleb Powell, the manager's son, hit an RBI double in the bottom of the sixth, scoring Darren Aggus all the way from first base for the win.
That win made Webb City the first Missouri team ever to reach the Little League World Series, a fact that hasn't
been lost on its young players
"The coaches told us after we won state, we could make history." Sossamon said. "We just keep playing our game, trying hard. If we do that, we can win."
The Massachusetts game was a particularly tough loss. Webb City knew a loss would put them behind the 8-ball in terms of advancing. Missouri took a 1-0 lead on Darren Aggus' RBI double in the top of the first, but Massachusetts tied the game in the bottom of the inning, then scored the go-ahead run in the fourth. A controversial call in the fifth could have put a Webb City runner on third, but he was called out.
"The kids took last night hard. An hour after the game, it still hurt," Powell said. "But they're kids, they're 12 years old, and they bounce back. We ordered some pizza, and I think they're OK."
pool advancing to the quarterfinals, Webb City is in a tough spot — but not out of the running yet. If three teams tie with 1-2 records, the number of runs allowed are used to break the tie. With only three runs allowed in two losses, Missouri would be in good shape.
With the top two teams from each
But first, they need to come back Monday and beat Hawaii. Then they need some help from the rest of the teams in their pool.
"We've got to have a lot of marbles fall into place," Powell said. "By no means are we out of it. But if we take care of our own business, take care of Hawaii, then we've still got a shot."
Caleb Powell, a pitcher and infielder, said despite the high stakes the players wouldn't treat Monday's game any differently than any other game.
"We just think of it as a regular game," Caleb Powell said. "We just want to go out there and play our best."
Almonte moves on, pitching his best ever
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Danny Almone
just can't ice his age.
just can catch it.
Last year, he cost his Bronx team its third-place finish at the Little League World Series when it was revealed he was too old to play. And this year, pitching in a league loaded with much older teens, he's been too good to hit.
"Danny's pitching his best in a 19- and under league," says his coach, Rolando Pauloino. The numbers back him up: Almonte is 2:0 with 21 strikeouts in 12 1-3 innings against the older guys.
How much older? That remains a question with Almonte, whose Dominican Republic birth certificate — uncovered during last year's Little League World Series — would make him 15 now, 14 last August. The age limit at the World Series is 12.
"I want people to think of just Danny Almonte, not Danny Almonte the Littie League player," the somewhat shy player said Friday in Spanish, with Paulino translating.
On a brutally hot August morning, Almone was one of two dozen kids practicing on a Bronx field that had nothing but its four bases in common with the manicured diamonds of South Williamsport, Pa.
Almonte, who admitted in recent interviews to being 15, no longer wants to discuss his April 7 birth date.
Almonte, in a sweat-soaked gray shirt and Chicago Cubs cap, swung the bat and chased飞 balls.
the bare neck of the hip.
On the concrete stands behind first base, plastic blue caps from crack vals sat alongside a crumpled cigarette pack and broken glass. Only a pair of spectators watched: Ira Warheit, a Bronx dentist who serves as an adviser to Almonte, and a representative from the Dominican consulate. (Danny's parents reside in the Dominican Republic, and the teen lives with Paulino).
Almonte stood in center field, wearing a glove that was a gift from Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Odalis Perez.
"Danny just wants to play baseball, go to school and play with his friends." Warheit says.
Almonte did all three in the past year enrolling in I.S. 52 while playing in four summer leagues with his local buddies.
buddies.
Almonte burst onto the national stage last summer when his Bronx "Baby Bombers" team reached the Little League World Series, mostly on his whip of a leaf arm. He was a mini-Randy Johnson, firing a 16-strikeout perfect game — the first in 44 years at the series.
he fanned 46 batters in three starts, surrendering just three hits. Several major leaguers — including the Arizona Diamondbacks' Johnson — called to wish Almonte well as his team finished third.
But then Sports Illustrated found a birth certificate contradicting Almonte's claim that he was just 12 years old. All of Almonte's victories—and all his team's victories — were expunged.
Paulino, founder of his eponymous Bronx Little League, was banned for life from any association with Little League. It was a disastrous ending to their feel-good story.
ending to the true success,
Almonte, however, earned a bit of
celebrity. Hall of Fame pitcher Juan
Marichal, an executive with a
Dominican team, offered to bring
Almonte home to develop his pitching
skills.
Major leaguers such as the Houston Astros' Octavio Dotel and the Milwaukee Brewers' Nelson Figueroa said hello when they spotted Almonte at Shea Stadium. Fans approached him for autographs.
Despite all the attention and controversy, Almonte said he still enjoys playing baseball
"There's no pressure," he said. "It's fun for me."
The latest stir surrounding the prodigy is where he'll attend high school. Three schools are in the mix in this recruiting war.
Before picking a school, Almoney plans to attend the Little League World Series in South Williamsport on Tuesday and root for the Harlem team that reached this year's event.
As for the future,he hopes his story can vet have a happy ending.
In a decade, Almonte says with a smile, "I hope to be playing in major league baseball. I want to be a professional baseball player."

Coffeyville favored despite few returnees
The Associated Press
It would have made more sense had Garden City or Butler County, the Jayhawk Community College Conference's best teams of the past 10 years, been picked to win the 2002 conference championship.
But coaches showed their respect for second year coach Jeff Leiker by tabbing Coffeville to finish on top.
Coffeyville has only three returning starters — tight end Matt Sellers, center Joe Zogg and tailback Brandon Jacobs — which is good for seventh among the eight JCCC schools in returnees. The team finished last season by winning five of its final six games.
Garden City and Butler County, meanwhile, are loaded.
Garden City has the punishing one-two tailback duo of Kay Jay Harris and Tyson Thompson and is coming off a 9-2 season. Butler County has six returning starters and has won three of the last four JCCC postseason playoff championships.
In this season's National Junior College Athletic Association preseason poll, Garden City was picked No. 4, Coffeyville No. 11 and Butler County No. 17.
Butler County defeated Garden City 15-14 in last year's postseason championship playoff game, and both teams finished in first place in the final regular season standings with 6-1 records.
Indicative of the talent level in the JCCC, running backs Kay Jay Harris of Garden City and Gerard Jackson of Dodge City and defensivebacks Ced Williams of Garden City and Reynaldo Hill of Dodge City were all named first-tier All-Americans.
The JCCC season begins on Aug.
Jayhawk Community College Conference pr season coaches poll:
1. Coffeyville
2. Butler County
3. Jackson City
5. Hutchinson
6. Dodge City
7. Highland
8. Independence
31.
"It kind of surprised me they (Coffeyville) were picked first, but I know the coaches in this conference have a lot of respect for jeff," said Butler County coach Troy Morrell, whose offensive line coach was Leiker when Morrell played at Butler County (1990-91). "Coffeyville had kind of been in a rut, but Joad had them making some big strides last year. A lot of the four-year school coaches have come away from their place raving about how good their players are."
Running back Brandon Jacobs, who rushed for 1,051 yards in Coffeyville's conference-best rushing offense in 2001, is among the most talented players in the ICC.
Butler County, which fell in last year's NJCAA championship game to Georgia Military, finished 10-2 thanks largely to tailbacks Jermaine Green and Ronald McClendon, who each rushed for more than 1,000 yards. But they gone and the Grizzlies may pass more this season.
With five starters back on offense, Garden City looks to be as tough as in past years. The school has reached the playoff title game three straight years and has been to three bowls in Bob
Larson's three years as head coach.
First year coach Kevin Verdugo shook up the ICCC when his Fort Scott Greyhounds bounced to a 5-1 record, including a 24-17 win over Garden City, ranked No. 1 nationally at the halfway point of last season. But Fort Scott finished 5-4.
Hutchinson limped to its first losing season in a decade last year, at 4-6, and will be hard-pressed to better that murk. The Blue Dragons' offensive line lacks game experience, not good for a team that averaged a mere 11.6 points per game last season, and the defense has only one starter back.
This year, their hopes center around eight returning starters, five on defense. "We passed a last last year but this year we think we have more weapons to draw on," said Verdugo.
At Dodge City, second-year coach John Rossetti has one of the country's top running backs in sophomore Gerard Jackson. Jackson, who scored a dozen touchdowns and rushed for a conference-best 1,248 yards, should get more quality support this season, as Rossetti added 12 NCAADivision I transfers to his roster in an effort to help bolster a program that has not had a winning record since 1992.
Highland's forte in the past has been its passing game out of the shotgun formation. The Scoties, 3-6 overall a year ago, return some muscle on defense. Linebackers Steve Jeffers and Sam Crawford, tackle David Sharp and defensive back Verler McCullough all started in 2001.
Independence will have a difficult time escaping the basement, where it ended up last year. The Pirates, who have lost 21 successive conference games over the past three years, have plenty of experience, with eight starters back.
Uncertainty about players plagues Broncos' program
The Associated Press
GRELEY, Colo. — The Denver Broncos gathered in a huddle at the middle of the field following practice on Friday. Cheers rang out, then players scattered in every direction.
H
Many ran straight to the locker room while others lingered on the field to chant together. A
Training camp is finally over
But as the Broncos head back to Denver after three weeks of two-a-day practices, several questions remain unanswered.
group of about seven climbed on one of the Gator cars that take players from the field, whileereserve guard Mookie Moore ran alongside trying to get in.
At the top of the list is one that has plagued the Broncos for four seasons; Will Terrell Davis be able to come back from his latest injury?
Davis was one of the most productive running backs in the NFL his first four years, but has had a series of injury problems since tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.
Davis, who has played 17 games the past three seasons, was strong early in camp, but hasn't practiced since pulling himself out with a swollen left knee before the Broncos' preseason game against Chicago on Saturday.
Davis said his knee was feeling a little better on Thursday, but yesterday he announced his retirement.
Another issue facing the Broncos is whether quarterback Brian Griese can rebound from a difficult 2001 season.
Griese, who threw for 23 touchdowns and 19 interceptions last season, has been solid in camp, but backup Steve Beuerlein has garnered most of the attention after missing last season with an elbow injury.
Shanahan said there was little doubt Griese is the starter, but also made it clear that the competition was still open and that Beaucerl could get the nod if Griese faltered.
"I think he (Gries) had a good camp overall." Shanahan said. "Everybody practiced well. Like I told them, that's the first phase. Now we go back, we take it day-by-day and if we take it in those terms we have a chance to be better."
Wide receiver Ed McCaffrey also remains a question mark.
McCaffrey is back after breaking his leg in two places during the first game of last season, but the Broncos have taken his return slowly after watching Davis struggle with his injuries.
Like several of the veterans and players coming off injuries, McCaffrey was held to one practice per day through most of camp. He started against the Bears, but has been limited most of this week with a strained thigh.
McCaffrey was back at practice on Friday, but Shanahan said he would not play against San Francisco today.
"We don't want to push him too
hard." Shanahan said. "He is getting some good workouts in. We know what he can do. I'm just afraid if we pushed him and he tried to come back on Monday night, it might set him back."
McCaffrey's setback and Davis' retirement highlight another issue the Broncos must overcome: injuries.
Since Davis tore the ligament four years ago, the Broncos have been plagued by injuries, particularly to running backs and wide receivers. The trend continued in training camp this year.
At one point or another, wide receivers Ashley Lelie, Scotte Montgomery, Kevin Kasper, Rob Moore, Rod Smith and Chris Cole have missed practice time. Cole is possibly out for the season after breaking his wrist against the Bears and Rob Moore was released on Aug. 6.
The Broncos also lost tight end Desmond Clark for up to six weeks with a broken arm, while running backs Clinton Portis, Reuben Droughts, KaRon Coleman and Will Bartholomew, and tight end Dwyane Carswell have sat out at least one practice. Bartholomew was released on an injury settlement earlier this week.
Despite the setbacks, Shanahan was pleased with training camp.
"What you can do is take it by day-by-day, try to get better and prepare to do that," Shanahan said. "Then you have a chance for good things to happen. We have to prepare ourselves. We've had that type of camp which has been good."
K-State receiver gets new chances
CARLISLE, Pa. — He came to Washington to play for one Redakins coach, but receiver Kevin Lockett staved for another.
The Associated Press
Lockett signed with the Redskins as a free agent last year, thinking it was his best shot at snaring a
starting receiver job. At the time,
Washington's new coach was Mary
Schottenheimer, for whom Lockett
played with the Kansas City Chiefs.
But the Redskins booted Schottenheimer after one season, bringing in Steve Spurrier, the University of Florida coach known for dynamic, pass-happy offensive schemes.
RANGERS
"When I first heard he was coming in, I dreamed about it. My mouth watered." Lockett said. "I had to take a pay cut, but to be in this system is the best thing for my career. To me, it's not always about the money. It's about the best situation."
This situation provides an offensive system unique to the NFL, which
His college coach, Kansas State's Bill Snyder, said it was difficult for Lockett to leave the Chiefs. Lockett had grown up in Tulsa, Okla., and his younger brother, Aaron, was playing for Kansas State.
"He was entrenched in Kansas City and really had made a home for himself there and was well-received by the Kansas City fans, so it was very difficult for him to make that move." Snider said.
"The great thing about Spurrier is, he gets the ball to the receivers quickly, on the run." Lockett said. "This offense is going to win."
But Snyder thinks things turned out well: "I have no complaints about where he is right now. I think it's a pretty dogge good fit for him."
The coach keeps in regular touch with Lockett and his brother, who was drafted in the seventh round this year by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Lockett described as a half-dozen receivers "out there flying around."
After coming to Washington, Lockett helped teach teammates the offensive system under coordinator Jimmy Ray, who had coached him in Kansas City and went to the Redskins.
This year, during training camp at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pa. he was learning again, although his speed and size—186 pounds—work well in Sourier's Fun 'N Gun offense.
At this point, it seems to be working. The Redskins and their rookie coach scored a combined 75 points against the San Francisco 49ers and the Carolina Panthers in the first two preseason games. They played Pittsburgh at home yesterday.
"It's a lot of stuff, but it's really player-friendly." Lockett said. "The terminology is pretty simple."
Against the Panthers, Lockett dove to catch a 22-yard scoring pass from Shane Matthews, then crashed into the goal post. Washington won the exhibition game, 37-30.
Lockett was known for big plays at Kansas State, when he smashed school and conference records by catching 217 passes for 3,032 yards receiving. He became the only player in Big 8 and Big 12 history to gain more than 550 yards receiving in four straight seasons.

Pre-game alcohol policy renewed
By Todd Smith
By Todd Smith
Kensan staff writer
Responsible tailgating will return this fall Chancellor Robert Hemenway announced July 5.
Football fans will be able to drink in designated tailgating lots during the three-hour period before kickoff at home games.
"We will continue to allow the responsible tailgating promotion, with some modifications." Hemenway said.
Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations, said tailgating had helped increase attendance. The average attendance at home football games was up about 7,300 people last year, she said.
Bretz was part of a tailgating committee working to simplify the tailgating area by slightly increasing its size.
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 to be out of the tailgating area.
"There was no rhyme or reason that this area could not be included in the designated tailging area." Bretz said.
Bretz said the committee was also trying to make the boundaries clearer by adding more signs. She said the committee would announce boundary changes this month.
A man is sitting on a folding chair in the grass, wearing a baseball cap and a short-sleeved shirt. He has his hands on his knees and appears to be resting or taking a break from activity. In the background, there are several people standing and sitting around a large tree. The setting appears to be an outdoor park or recreational area.
Chris Keary, assistant director of the KU Public Safety Office, said 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 designated tailgating 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.

Minors caught in possession lose their drivers license for 30 days and can receive up to 30 days in jail and a $500 fine.

Tailgaters were allowed to consume alcohol in designated areas near Memorial Stadium last fall. The policy was renewed for this fall.
Professor owns rare basketball dolls
Journalism instructor collects Russian matryoshka dolls that resemble Kansas players
By Lauren Beatty
Kansan staff writer
Apparently Russian people aren't as familiar with University of Kansas basketball players as Lawrence residents are.
In Russia, Paul Pierce is really Paul Pierge,
Raef LaFrentz is African-American and Billy
Thomas is a ravishing blond.
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 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 Mallutin'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."

Administration and faculty
New faces can be found throughout University
By Lauren Beatty
Kansan staff writer
Students won't be the only ones unpacking this week. Several new administrators and deans hired this summer will be setting up their offices and getting ready for the start of the semester.
- Kim Wilcox, dean of liberal arts and sciences, comes to the University of Kansas after serving as president of the Kansas Board of Regents. Wilcox previously worked for the
college in the department of speech, language and hearing from 1984 to 1998. While there, he served as chairman of the department and earned a Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching in 1988. Wilcox earned a bachelor's degree in audiology and speech sciences from Michigan
Wilcox
State University, and master's and doctoral degrees in speech and hearing science from Purdue University. He worked at the University of Missouri at Columbia for four years before coming to Kansas.
Stuart Bell, dean of engineering, is a former professor from the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa. He earned a bachelor's degree in nuclear engineering and master's and doctoral degrees in mechanical engineering from Texas A&M University. He joined the faculty at Alabama in 1986 and served as chair of the mechanical engineering department since 1995. Bell also served as director of the Center for Advanced Vehicle Technologies at Alabama. He earned several awards including the meritorious Service Award from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
Barbara Atkinson became dean of medicine Aug. 1. She was a professor and served as chairwoman for the department of pathology and laboratory medicine at the University before moving up to the position. Atkinson came to the University in 2000 after serving dean of the MCP Hahnemann School of Medicine in Philadelphia. She has also worked University of Pennsylvania school of medicine and the Medical College of Pennsylvania. She earned degrees from the College of Wooster and Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University. Atkinson is a trustee of the American Board of Pathology and a member of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences.
■ Mary Lee Hummert, interim dean of Student Affairs, began her career at the University in 1987. She last served as a professor of communication studies and a research associate in the Gerontology Center.
Hummert will oversee several University entities such as health services, student housing and student financial aid. She earned her bachelor's degree from Fontbonne College in St. Louis, a master's degree from the University of Nebraska at Kearney and a doctoral degree from the University of Kansas. She received a W.T. Kemper fellowship for teaching excellence in 2000.
Two department heads were also named this summer. Dale Seuferling is the new president of the Endowment Association and Donna Hultine is the new director of parking services. Seuferling has worked at Endowment since 1981 after earning a bachelor's degree in journalism from the University. Hultine, formally the assistant director of parking services, will fill the position of director until a permanent replacement can be found.

Campus jobs hard to find this fall
By Jay Pilgreen
Kansan staff writer
Ann Hartley, associate director of the Career and Employment Services office, said she posted eight to nine hundred job listings on the office Web site, www.ku.edu/~uces, last year, but she wondered how many she would post this year.
Students returning for fall semester might find their campus jobs no longer exist. Budget cuts this summer forced departments to reduce the number of students employed.
"Unfortunately, with all of the budget cuts this year, one of the first things we lost was our student help," Hartley said. "When you lose a couple of thousand dollars in the budget, there's no place for it to go."
Hartley said she was currently placing fewer jobs than usual on the Web site, and expected the number to stay low when departments request jobs in August for the fall semester. She said her office wasn't the

only one forced to drop student employees.
He said th loss of employees would put further demands on full-time employees, and the department had altered programs to fill the void. He cited housekeeping now cleaning twice a week instead of daily as an example.
"We are going to lose a majority of the students," Riat said. "We may have one now, but that's it."
Hartlev said the largest employers of students were the libraries and the Student House Department.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said the housing department tired students to run the desks, cafeterias, serve as security officers, custodial weekend crews and resident assistants. He said the department wasn't cutting any student employees, because funding came from students living in the halls.
"Any cuts by the state hurts all of us, but we won't be affected as much." Stoner said.
The libraries employ about 250 students, and they aren't cutting any positions either.
Hartley said programs that were forced to cut might find help through the federal and Kansas work study programs. She said the programs were equivalent to financial aid, and would allow departments keep a student staff.

Nontraditional students
Cross-state commute ends for two students
By Jay Pilgreen Kansan staff writer
The last day of summer classes felt a little better for Robin Unruh and Stacy Brendemone than it probably did for most students. It was the last day they had to drive from Garden City — 369 miles away — for class.
Unruh and Brendmeen made the drive once a week for two years as they attended the University's master's social welfare program. After this week, they can fulfill the goals they made when they started their graduate studies. They can become licensed social workers.
Unruh said she and Brendmoon would drive to Topela the day before their classes and stay with Unruh's sister. They would finish their drive early
the next morning, and head back to Garden City after their classes were done at 6 p.m. Brendmoen said they would get back to Garden City between 12:30 and 1 a.m., ready to go to work the next morning.
Brendmeen said they scheduled all their classes in one day, and would wait a week in between trips. She said she and her family were glad the commute was over.
"It was a very strenuous time," Brendmoen said. "My husband was very supportive."
Brendmoen laughed as she said her husband, Todd, assumed household responsibilities while she studied. She said he did the laundry and took their daughter, Alexandra, wherever she needed to go.
Brendmoen said there weren't
many,options as to where she could attend school for her field of study.
Jan Jess, field placement coordinator for the graduate program at KU, said the majority of students were placed in a local area, ranging from Topeka to the Kansas City Metro area, but that other students commited to KU from Hays and Missouri, not quite as far, because there aren't many options for that region.
"KU has basically been the regional program for a long time,"Jess said.
She said Washburn had a graduate program, and recently Wichita State and Newman University had become accredited.
Jess said the department of social welfare let Unruh and Brennoen take all of their classes in one day, as well as
"I've had a couple of people ask me about KU. If you're going to do it, you have to be prepared for all the hours on the road and the toll it takes on your family life."
Stacy Brendmoen student who commuted weekly from Garden City
complete their 720-hour work requirement for their degrees in their home towns.
"We were able to approve their
internships at their work." Jess said. "That way, they could have financial support."
Jess said students could set up their internships in a variety of places, and encouraged students from western Kansas to work there. She said it was a frontier that had few social workers in place.
When they become licensed, both Brendmoen and Unruh can move up in their field. Brendmoen said she was the interim supervisor of the Garden City office of St. Francis Academy Inc., and with her master's degree, she said she could get the title permanently. Unruh will be eligible for promotion as a clinical therapist.
Brendmoen and Unrub said they were glad they accomplished their goals, but warn anyone interested in
doing what they did
"I've had a couple of people ask me about KU," Brendmoen said. "If you're going to do it, you have to be prepared for all the hours on the road and the toll it takes on your family life."
Unruh also warned people wanting to make a long-distance commute to find someone with common interests. She said a companion was important on the road.
"We've laughed together, cried together and argued together." Unruh said. "Now that it's over, it was worth it, but I don't recommend anyone do this by themselves."
Student parking extended in Learned lot University researchers learn more about dinosaurs' food
Contact Pilgreen at editor@kansan.com

Kansan staff writer
Engineering students will find more parking spaces available on campus after hours largely because of one student's efforts.
Kyle Johnson. Wichita junior and engineering student senator, said he was frustrated students could not park in a portion of Lot 41 — the lot west of Learned Hall, — until after 7:30 p.m.
Starting this fall, the blue portion of lot 41 will be open to students after 5 p.m. except for ten spaces. The entire lot was previously restricted from 7 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
A blue lot is parking designated for faculty and staff with blue parking stickers from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. or 7:30 p.m., according to information posted on signs in the lot.
Johnson said he took pictures of the parking lot and monitored who was using the lot.
"Every time I surveyed the lot, there were more illegally parked vehicles than legally parked vehicles," he said. "The number of legally parked vehicles never exceeded five."
He took his results to Carl Locke,
dean of engineering, and they compromised to have half the lot open to students after 5 p.m.
The Parking Commission went even further and made a proposal to open the entire parking lot after 5 p.m. Johnson said.
Johnson said Provost David Shulenburger did not approve the Parking Commissions recommendations of opening the whole lot after 5 p.m. because there were no guaranteed parking spaces for faculty and staff at night.
In response, Johnson took a petition around to the engineering faculty that excluded ten spaces to be designated as faculty spaces until 7:30 p.m.
Johnson said he took the petition back to Shulenburger with more than 60 signatures.
"It then had a meeting with Shulenburger regarding the obvious support from the engineering faculty on the parking changes and he agreed to my proposal," he said.

Paleontology graduate student Katrina Gobetz and adjunct assistant professor Stephen Bozarth have pioneered a method for finding plant cells trapped in hardened plaque from the teeth of 140-million-year-old dinosaurs and other extinct creatures. Identifying the cells in the plaque tells the duo what the animals ate.
Your dentist may hate plaque, but two University of Kansas researchers love it because of the window it provides on the eating habits of ancient animals.
Mike Campbell Special to the Kansan
"When an animal eats, not all the cells in its food are destroyed," Gobetz said, "Some cells get trapped in the plaque, which protects them very nicely until we come along to study them."
Kyle Johnson, an engineering student senator, was upset that student parking in Learned Hall Lot 41 was restricted until after 7:30 p.m.
Roommates stuck to the couch?
Gobetz starts by scrapping the hardened plaque, known as calculus, off the teeth. The calculus is the same gunk the hygienist cleans off your teeth at the dentist.
Gobetz uses some of the same techniques as a hygienist. Sometimes,however,she needs more vigorous methods.
Phytoliths arise because plants absorb various non-nutritional minerals from the soil at the same time that they absorb water. The plants store these minerals in the phytoliths to get them out of the way, and the phytoliths eventually fill up.
- Find new roommates.
J
After removing the calculus, Gobetz dissolve it in acid to free some very hard cells trapped inside. The cells, called phyllotites, come from plants that the animals ate.
- Sell the couch.

"I can get a little of the calculus with a regular dental pick, but I usually have to use a hammer and chisel, too," she said.

The minerals make the phytoliths extremely tough, so that the cells can survive almost any abuse such as chewing, the passage of 140 million years or a bath in acid.
Once the phytoliths are free of the calculus, Bozarth can look at them with an electron microscope and identify from what plants they came.

Singertalks about work,love
By Carrie Antlifinger Associated Press Writer
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Sheryl Crow thought that by the time she reached 40 she'd be married and have children. She isn't 'and she doesn't'.
The eight-time Grammy winner has accomplished many of her professional goals — and she's still looking for the right balance between her career and personal life.
"It's important to have love, give love, receive love. I mean that is definitely the fish food, and I've had great relationships, and part of the reason the relationships didn't work out is my career," Crow said while sipping tea at a Milwaukee hotel restaurant
Wearing striped aqua jeans, an aqua T-shirt and a jean jacket, the singer was in town to appear at an outdoor music festival.
She's been promoting the platinum "C'mon C'mon," her first studio album in four years. The Missouri native has released four albums since she burst onto the music scene with 1994's "Tuesday Night Music Club."
Crow, who has a bachelor's degree in voice and piano, has worked with some of the industry's biggest names: Kid Rock, Eric Clapton, Willie Nelson and Stevie Nick, for whom she produced five songs on her new album. "C'mon C'mon" features guest vocalists by Don Henley, Lenny Kravitz,
Emmylou Harris and Dixie Chick
Natalia Maine.
She'll be on tour throughout the year, including selected dates opening for the Rolling Stones.
1. How does it feel to work with stars of the '60s and '70s?
Crow: It feels kind of otherworldly, you know what I mean, because I can totally register in my body how it felt to go to the Blakemore drugstore and pick up Cream Magazine and Rolling Stone and just pore over pictures of Stevie Nicks and Linda Ronstadt and the Eagles and Bob Dylan and scrutinize pictures of Led Zeppelin, you know, right down to the tight jeans. It's pretty unbelievable.
2. How has success changed you?
2. How has success changed your life?
Crow: It has become a part of my life I have had to manage. And because of that, my personal life has also become something I have had to manage, which sounds simple, but it's weird when you have to start managing having a life around what you do.
... Like on this last record, I think I just thought I really didn't want to do it anymore because it seemed to me the only thing I had anymore was my career, and it made me not want to do it. But I think that all the growing that you do eventually are going to do anyway, and the circumstances in your life are put into your life to teach you what it is you are meant to learn in this life.
3. Are you dating anybody?
Crow: I am dating somebody. Nobody would even know him though. He's not in the business. He's a lovely person, but you know it totally new and it's just sort of still out there. I always like to keep my private life private. I just thought I would divulge that information just in case there's anybody out there who is worried about me, that I'm lonely or something.
4. In 10 years, will you still be making records?
Crow: And making videos?
(Laughs.) I don't know about the video part of it but I do see that. ... I think looking at Emmy (Emmylou Harris's) career, she is sort of the template for me. I feel like I haven't written my best work yet, and you know that's encouraging for me and that's why I do it. I do at this point in my life feel like I'm at a place where if I didn't do it anymore, I could be OK with that too.
5. Is it true you knocked out your two front teeth?
Crow: I knocked them out twice. When I was 8, I am into some steel scaffolding and knocked them right to the back of my mouth, but they saved them and they were root-canaled and capped. And then I was singing in a top 40 band in St. Louis and a waitress knocked my teeth out with a beer mug, kind of by accident.
LONDON (AP) — International film critics and directors named Orson Welles "Citizen Kane" as the best movie ever, in surveys published by the British Film Institute.
Every 10 years, the institute asks the opinion of more than 250 of the world's leading critics and directors before compiling separate top 10 lists for its Sight & Sound Magazine.
'Citizen Kane' named best movie
"For the last 40 years 'Citizen Kane' has topped the Critics' Poll confirming Orson Welles, the director, as the Shakespeare of modern cinema," Sight & Sound editor Nick James said Friday.
"Pushing all the resources of a
Hollywood studio to its limits, the film is a dazzling formal experiment and compelling portrait of a great man's life."
More than 700 films were nominated by directors including Quentin Tarantino, Bernardo Bertolucci, Tim Robbins, Sam Mendes and Cameron Crowe. Critics polled included Britain's Jonathan Ross and Roger Ebert and David Denby of the United States.
The critics put "Vertigo" in the No. 2 spot, followed by "La Regle du Juu." "The Godfather" and "The Godfather: Part II" as joint No. 4. "Tokyo Story." 2014: A Space
Odyssey," "Sunrise," "Battleship Potemkin," "8 1/2" and "Singin' in the Rain."
The directors put "The Godfather" and "The Godfather: Part II" as joint No. 2, followed by "81/2," "Lawrence of Arabia," "Dr. Strangelove," "The Bicycle Thief," "Raging Bull" and "Vertigo," "Rashomon," "La Regle du Jeu" and "The Seven Samurai" tied the final spot on the list.
The critics' poll, which gathers opinions from as far afield as Bangladesh, Cuba and Estonia, was first taken in 1952. The institute added the directors' poll in 1992.
Orchestra players rally for more pay
BOSTON (AP) — Boston Symphony Orchestra players, voting during intermission at a Tanglewood concert, ratified a new contract that raises the minimum pay for musicians and provides for a new look at rehearsals.
ning in 2004 when incoming conductor James Levine will join the orchestra. The provision will explore new approaches to musical preparation.
The four-year contract, which goes into effect Aug. 25, raises the minimum weekly compensation for players to $1,915 next season, $1,990 in 2003-04, $2,080 in 2004-05 and $2,170 in 2005-06.
The contract also includes a two-year "experimental period," begin-
"jimmy asked that we try some new ideas," said Mark Volpe, BSO managing director. "We've got a committee consisting of myself, artistic administrator Anthony Fogg and three musicians to look at a range of things. It's not just more rehearsal time; we're investigating many options, like seating the sections differently on stage and the
timing of rehearsals."
The contract, ratified Friday night in Lenox, also provides for additional participation by musicians in such matters as audition procedures, and there are new joint management-musician task forces that will meet to consider healthcare issues and new opportunities in electronic media.
Volpe said the final negotiating session on Wednesday lasted about 15 hours. The most difficult issue, he said, was health care.

KU Recreation Services helps students join sports teams, clubs
By Todd Smith
Kansan staff writer
Although most of Shenk Fild will be out of commission this fall, Intra- natalual players still have options available to them.
Mary Chappell, director of recreation services, said students who play intramural sports would find most of Shenk Field, located northwest of 23rd and Iowa streets.
She said the University was making improvements to Shenk Field with a new drainage system, paving of the road for the field and new sidewalks.
"We have a terrible drainage system at Shenk Field; every time it rains students can't play because of muddy fields and this backs up playing in the field with canceled and rescheduled games." Chappell said.
The new drainage system will help to keep the field as dry as possible and enhance the safety and the aesthetics of the playing field, Chappell said.
She said recreation services would use Robinson East Field, and a section of Shenk Field on the north side, and were working with Lawrence's Park and Recreation Department to use fields in other parks in Lawrence.
Who to contact
Chappell said the changes at Shenk field would affect intramural soccer and flag football that is usually played on these fields.
She said the improvements would be done for the 2003 fall semester.
She said the intramural sports of bowling and eight ball pool should once again be played at the Jaybowl in the Kansas Union this fall.
"My understanding that the Jay-bowl will be open in August," she
Students interested in becoming involved with KU intramurals should contact Robinson Center at 864-3546
Chappell said that if the Jaybow) did not open then they would play these sports at Royal Crest Lanes, 9th and Iyowa streets.
said
Recreation Services offers a number of different sports for students to play at these fields and in Robinson.
Lindsey Whittington, office assistant for recreational services, said there were team sports available for students, which included flag football, sand volleyball, soccer, floor hockey, indoor volleyball and a pre-holiday basketball tournament.
The individual sports are tennis singles, golf, bowling, eight ball pool, and single play racquetball.
Whittington said that students who wanted to play in team intramural sports must elect a manager for the team.
There are manager meetings and the manager will receive all the information about where and when the team will play.
She said students should come to 208 Robinson to sign-up and receive information about either team or single intramural and about costs that might be involved with playing the sport.
Whittington said most sports were free, but golf required a greens fee.
ness needs.
Robinson has six gymnasiums, a room with a rock climbing wall, free weights, racquetball courts, volleyball, a squash playing room, saunas and two pools for students to use.
Jerry Phillips, Robinson center facilities director, said the building was open to academic classes during the day and some of the facilities were closed to students.
He said there was a sunrise time for use of the facility from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. for the pool and 7:30 a.m. Monday and Wednesday and 8 a.m. Tuesday and Thursday for the weight room.
Phillips said the weight room, pools and other fitness options were open at different times throughout the day and people could come to Robinson to obtain a schedule.
He said the use of the facility was free and students just needed their student ID.
Erin McNitt, Kansas City, Kan., senior, said Robinson was a decent facility with good workout equipment.
"Robinson is good for working out for those who cannot afford memberships at commercial gyms in Lawrence," she said.
Phillips said students could also borrow equipment from Robinson. It has basketballs, raquets, and racquetballs, weight training belts, volleyballs, tennis balls and badminton available.
Phillips said some facilities were open all day at Robinson.
Students who would like more information about Robinson can call 864-3546.

"Studies show that students who participate have a better chance at continuing to the second year," Johnson said.
Johnson said one of the main advantages to the program was that a majority of the jobs were on-campus. He said more students would attend class if they were working on-campus already.
Hartley said she thought more offices on campus would hire only work-study students because they
couldn't afford not to. She said limiting employees to work-study students was unfortunate.

Recreational paths popular
Rich Law Chee
By Todd Smith Kansan staff writer
Avid bicyclists and nature lovers will be happy to know that Lawrence now has 17.2 miles of recreational paths.
"We made the trail around the perimeter of the park and the new parking lot to provide better access to Mary's Lake." DeVictor said.
Katie Son, Lawrence resident, said she found the new concrete trail easy to use, especially because she had a child in a stroller.
Fredrick DeVictor, director of Lawrence Parks and Recreation, said a new halfmile recreational path that could be used for walking and bike riding was available late spring.
"It is quiet and peaceful park, and I like that since I am from the country," she said.
The city also constructed a new parking lot at Haskell and 27th streets.
The path is a concrete walkway that runs from the Prairie Park Nature Center across Mary's Lake dam and then around the other side of the lake ending near a parking lot by Prairie Park Elementary School just off Kensington Road.
Sue Lane, marketing supervisor for Parks and Recreation said the last brochure had not been updated since 1999.
The new brochure will be available at Robinson Center, the Student Union Activities Office and at recreation centers throughout Lawrence in late August.
DeVictor said another path that was also completed last spring run along Kasold Drive and connected the South Lawrence Trafficway bike path to the Clinton Parkway bike path. He said this path was three-fourth of a mile long.
According to the 2001 Bicycle Annual Report there are 17.2 miles of recreational paths in Lawrence and 42 miles of bicycle routes in the city.
Lawrence has a variety of recreational paths, mostly made of gravel, that are used for walking and biking throughout Lawrence.
DeVictor said the marketing department was creating a new brochure this fall to show new recreational paths and opportunities in Lawrence's parks.

Bob Dylan returns to Rhode Island
NEWPORT, R.I. — Bob Dylan fans waited 37 years to give him a friendlier welcome to the Newport FolkFestival.
By Brian Carovillano Associated Press Writer
The legendary singer-songwriter last played Newport in July 1965, when he appeared onstage with an electric guitar for the first time, smashing barriers between folk and rock, and was booed by folk-music purists.
Whether the boos were for him or because of the poor sound quality — still a matter of intense debate — Dylan's three-song electric set that year has attained mythic status.
WPRL-TV in Providence.
But the times they have achanged.
"I can't think of anything he could do that would make me want to boo him this time," said Jack White, a Pulitzer prize-winning reporter for
White, who was then a 22-year-old college senior, was among the folkies who jeered at Dylan the last time he played Newport. He even stormed off the festival grounds before Dylan was through.
Dylan's acerbic, at times sarcastic, protest-songs in 1965 captured the mood of America's increasingly disenfranchised youth during the Vietnam war and the civil-rights struggles.
"I've mellowed with age," said White, now 59. "I think you could probably say the same of most of my contemporaries."
At 24, however, he was maturing personally and artistically.
Earlier that year, Dylan released "Bringing It All Back Home," an album of both acoustic and electric songs. Just four days before Newport, "Like a Rolling Stone" hit the airwaves on its way to becoming an anthem for the 1960s.
Then Dylan and his new sound hit the stage at Newport, the sacred hub of the folk movement.
"Newport was definitely the most dramatic place to do it," said Dylan biographer Michael Gray, author of Song & Dance Man III. The Art of Bob Dylan.
"Everybody knew that he'd gone electric. It was there on the album. But the folk music establishment was hanging onto the notion that he was still one of theirs."
Dylan strode onstage late in the afternoon on Sunday, July 25, 1965, with a Fender electric guitar and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band.
They stunned the crowd with a raucous rendition of "Maggie's Farm," followed by "Rolling Stone" and "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry." Dylan then came back for an acoustic set with "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" and "Mister Tambourine Man."

Student studies spiders
Mike Campbell Special to the Kansas
James Sandidge is researching the habits of the brown recluse
Jamel Sandidge wants to help you avoid brown recluse spiders. He also wants to know if you need to worry about avoiding them in the first place.
The Madison Heights, Virginia graduate student is part of a national research project investigating both the habits of the spiders and the overdiagnosis of their bites.
"There are about 8,000 brown recluse bites reported every year in the U.S." Sandige said, "but maybe as many as 60 to 80 percent of those supposed bites are actually symptoms of other problems."
One of Sandridge's goals is to find out the temperature, humidity and other conditions under which the spiders can live and reproduce. This information will tell scientists where in the country they might expect to find brown recluses.
Any bites reported outside these areas would then be good candidates to re-examine as possible misdiagnoses, according to Sandidge. He did caution that stray spiders could pop up almost anywhere.
"People carry recluses all over the place without meaning to. The spiders like people, and they are good at hiding in places like boxes, clothes, and even shipments of wood—that's why they're called recluses," he said.
More information
Sandridge is also curious about the spider's lifestyle and how it may help recluses live in homes.
More information
For more info see
http://www.ku.edu/~recluse/
He discovered a quirk in the diet of brown recluses. Unlike most spiders, brown recluses eat dead bugs.
This means that fumigating may actually help brown recluses.
"Insecticides are meant for insects, which spiders are not. Most insecticides don't harm the spiders, but they do kill lots of insects, which the brown recluses are happy to eat," Sandidge said.
He also suspects that the spiders may be up to some reproductive tricks. Most animals that mate with close relatives run a large risk of having offspring with serious birth defects.
However, some insects and spiders can inbreed with few consequences. Sandidge wants to know if brown recluses belong to this privileged, and much harder to eradicate, group.
"If they can't inbreed, you would only have to treat outside your house to control the spiders. Your only worry would be new spiders coming in and adding to the breeding stock. On the other hand, if they can inbreed, you would have to treat everywhere, inside and out," he said.
Sandiidge has collected over 100,000 spiders from houses throughout the south-central U.S. to look for evidence of inbreeding. He collects the spiders on sticky-traps made of
cardboard coated with glue.
Most houses only yield a few spiders, but another researcher on the project collected 2,000 at a single house.
If you have brown recluses in your house, they are most likely to be in the attic, according to Sandidge. The spiders like the warm, dry conditions they can find up there.
Wherever they live, these spiders can be hard to get rid of. Sandidge said brown recluses can live six months without air or water and perhaps a year without food.
Brown recluses have small bodies, about the diameter of a pencil eraser, with legs that can sprawl to twice the diameter of a quarter, Sandidge said. He also said that they typically sit in a hunched position, with their long legs curled near their body.
Sandidge also recommended that people not rely for identification on the violin-shaped mark that some brown recluses have on their back. Many recluses lack some or all of this mark, he said.
Sandidge is working with Rick Vetter, a staff research associate at the University of California-Riverside. Vetter has found that misdiagnosis of brown recluse bites is very common in California, where the spider does not live.
Among the problems misdiagnosed as brown recluse bites, Vetter has found chemical burns, herpes sores, diabetic ulcers, and syphilis sores.

Grateful Dead members plan fall tour
By Carrie Antlfinger Associated Press Writer
licist and biographer.
McNally said Aug. 5 he didn't know when tickets would go on sale for the 15-show tour in November and December.
EAST TROY, Wis. (AP) — Since things went so well during the Aug. 3 weekend reunion of the Grateful Dead's surviving members, the band has decided to go ahead with a fall tour.
"All I can say is that the fall tour was set and approved contingent on a good weekend and since it was a far better than good weekend I am certainly confident the shows will go," said Dennis McNally, the band's pub-
Thousands of Deadheads converged on East Troy (pop. 2,600) — a small city tucked between farm fields 40 miles southwest of Milwaukee — to see the remaining members of the Grateful Dead, now known as The Other Ones.
Aug. 3 was the first time Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, Phill Lesh and
Bob Weir joined forces for a major concert since founder and lead singer Jerry Garcia died of a heart attack in 1995
The show suffered a setback in June, when Walworth County officials denied a permit, fearing authorities couldn't handle the estimated 200,000 people it might draw for a venue that could only hold about 35,000.
The promoter, Clear Channel Entertainment, submitted a new plan with tighter security and emergency procedures and officials changed their minds.

New York City vies for Oscars
By Larry McShane Associated Press Writer
NEW YORK (AP) - And the Oscar goes to ... New York City?
The Academy Awards, a Los Angeles staple since 1958, would be held partly in Manhattan next year under a one-time-only proposal to divide the event between the two coasts and boost New York's recovery from the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
"It is exciting that this project is receiving strong support and gaining momentum," one of the plant's backers, Miramax Films co-chairman Harvey Weinstein, said Aug. 9. "This is a unique opportunity to celebrate the academy's 75th anniversary, while providing an important economic boost to New York City."
Despite Weinstein's optimism, the president of the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences, Frank Pierson, warned that such a move was far from certain.
"There have been no internal discussions about any such proposal," Pierson said Aug. 9 in Los Angeles. "There has been no discussion with members of the Board of Governors prior to these press stories."
Weinstein heads a group of New York entertainment, business and political figures trying to lure the Hollywood fete. Others include Oscar-winning actor Robert De Niro, directors Spike Lee and Woody Allen, and Cablevision Systems head James L. Dolan.
"We're after the Oscars, and we're going to try to bring them to New York," Gov. George Pataki said at a City Hall news conference with Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Dicomberg, who was praised for a deal that returns the Grammy Awards
to New York next year for the first time in four years, echoed the governor's sentiment.
"This is a showcase place, and I think we can make a good case," he said.
The Grammys generate an estimated $40 million for the city's economy.
The show is scheduled for March 23, although the academy has said it was considering moving it up to February.
Cablevision owns both Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall.
But splitting the Academy Awards show into two venues could be costly for the academy; Pierson estimated the cost would double.
Weinstein and Dolan produced the "Concert for New York" at the Garden last year, raising $30 million for victims of the Sept. 11 attack.

services, Julia Rholes, associate dean for information services, said, making it easier for students to navigate the libraries' huge collection. The online card catalog contains records for more than 3/4 of the libraries' collection. Rholes said students can also renew books online up to five times and can e-mail the "Ask a Librarian" with questions about library services or specific books. Of course, students still have to go into the libraries to check out books.
Rholes said tours would be available at the beginning of the semester to help students become familiar with the layout and collections in each library. There are also workshops available on using library resources.
"We do a lot to make the libraries accessible for everyone," she said.
"There are people here specifically to help students."
The University's libraries are
housed in six buildings across campus, Watson Library, in the center of campus on Jayhawk Boulevard, is the oldest and largest. The building is also home to the East Asian Library, the Slavic collection and the Spain, Portugal and Latin America collection. Copying services is on the third floor of Watson.
Also located inside Watson library is one branch of the University's Writers Roosts. Staffers at the Writers Roosts are trained to help writers seeking feedback on papers and resumes, Emily Donnelli, assistant director, said. The main branch is in Wessco Hall.
Services at the Writers Roost are free for any member of the University community. Donnelli said online writing consultation was also available via e-mail.
Watkins Memorial Health Center provides medical services for students, including radiology, gynocology and an allergy clinic. Students can make appointments, but walk-in services are also available.
Other services at Watkins include a men's clinic, counseling and psychological services and physical therapy.
University Career and Employment Services helps students find jobs on campus and in the Lawrence area. Students can use the Career and Employment Services Web site to search an online directory of jobs and post their resumes online. Students can also get advice on careers after college - what jobs are right for their major, how to network and job search strategies. Career and Employment services offers workshops on writing resumes and interviewing and conducts job fairs on campus.
Legal Services for Students is a place students can go to get advice on most types of legal matters. Staff members at Legal Services can also help students draft legal documents or prepare their taxes.

West Nile infection sparks run on vaccine
The Associated Press
Topeka.
TOPEKA — While a large number of horse owners in Kansas took precautions against West Nile virus earlier this year, the discovery two weeks ago of the disease in the state has sparked a renewed interest in the vaccine, veterinarians said.
"They're just worried about it, and they want the vaccination ASAP" said Dr. Matt Zupka, owner of Equine Medicine & Surgery in
On Thursday, veterinarians at Kansas State University reported the state's first case of West Nile virus, found in an unvaccinated horse in Cowley County. Another horse from Nebraska tested positive for the disease and is being treated at the school, said Dr. Bonnie Rush, a professor of equine internal medicine at Kansas State.
West Nile can cause encephalitis, a swelling of the brain, in a small percentage of humans and other mammals bitten by mosquitoes that carry the virus. Rush said West Nile has nearly a 30 percent mortality rate in horses. But veterinarians in Eudora have still received a large number of calls since Friday, the day after the first case of the disease was reported.
The vaccine for West Nile requires an initial injection, followed by a booster after three to six weeks and additional boosters every six months and costs about $35 to $45 per dose.

Golfer wins $10,000,trip to Scotland
By Matt Norton
Kansan staff writer
Laurie Sisk/Kansan
Chris Thompson, doctoral student from Foxborough, Mass., won a $10,000 prize and a trip to Scotland from the World Scientific Congress of Golf. Thompson's research focuses on exercise training for golfers.
Chris Thompson's doctoral dissertation has earned him a trip to one of golf's most hallowed shrines.
SUA
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.
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.
the winner.
"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, on average, the golfers improved four miles per hour in club head speed, which can increase distance, but what pleased
Thompson said that many people thought a golfer could be out of shape and still play.
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 eight-week training regimen to improve their game and make it more enjoyable as well.
"But if you walk the course, you have to be in pretty good shape," he said.
The conditioning program included cardiovascular exercises, strength training for golf-specific muscles and swinging weighted golf clubs.
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 program ended with a measurement of club head speed and an 18-hole tournament.
Frank Quiring. Lawrence resident, plays golf once or twice a week and practices at the driving range as well.
him most was the reported improvement in the golfers' daily lives from their new-found fitness.
Quiring participated in Thompson's study, and said that while his scores hadn't improved noticeably, his enjoyment of the game had.
"Some of them said they were hitting it further into the woods." Thompson joked.
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.
they play it.
"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."
Thompson is now on faculty at the University of San Francisco.

Banks offer student checking
By Lauren Beatty
Kansan staff writer
Students will find plenty of banks in Lawrence that offer special deals and accounts just for them.
Connie Faulke, customer service supervisor at Emprise Bank, 2435 Iowa St., said the most popular offer for students was the free checking account because most did not require a minimum balance.
"Most students can't keep a $1,000 balance," she said. "So most students want an account where they won't be charged if they go below that."
Free checking accounts at Emprise don't charge any fees and offer unlimited check writing and a free ATM card. Faulk said.
Despite all the perks that come with free checking accounts, there were some drawbacks. Faulke said. Free checking accounts don't earn interest.
"If students want to earn interest they should open a savings account along with their free checking account," she said.
ATM and check cards are extremely popular with students, said Mark Gonzales, community bank president at Commerce Bank, 955 Iowa St.
Students with a student checking account
at Commerce can have a free Visa Check Card, which allows them to automatically deduct purchases from their checking accounts. Gonzales said KUIDs could also be used as ATM cards with a Commerce account.
"You only need one card in your wallet," he said.
Commerce ATM use is free with a student checking account. Gonzales said there were 13 Commerce ATMS in Lawrence, including four on campus. There is also a Commerce branch located in the Kansas Union.
Online access to accounts was becoming a trend for students as well, said Adrienne Boyd-Akers, personal banker at Douglar
County Bank, 300 W. Ninth St. Online access allows students to keep up on their finances 24 hours a day with a personal computer.
Douglas County Bank checking accounts are free and offer online access as well as unlimited check writing and an ATM card.
Faulkle said when choosing a bank, students should find out as much as they can about the benefits and costs that came with different types of accounts.
"It just has to be convenient for you," she said.

The Lawrence Arts Center moved to its new location this summer at 940 New Hampshire St. The center offers a variety of art classes that focus on different media.
Lawrence Arts Center offers activities for students
By Lauren Beatty
Kansan staff writer
At the Lawrence Arts Center college students can create masterpieces without the expense of enrolling in University of Kansas classes.
The center attracts about 100,000 people a year, said Ann Evans, executive director. Many of them are University of Kansas students looking for an inexpensive and fun way to express their inner artist.
The center, 940 New Hampshire St., offers a broad spectrum of arts classes, programs and events. Classes range from painting and jewelry-making to dance and theater. The center is also home to two theater companies, an arts-based preschool and an art gallery.
Evans said she thought more students were coming to the center because the new $7 million building, which
opened in April, can accommodate more people. The new center is three stories tall and has 40,000 square feet.
"The old building was 10,000 square feet," Evans said. "We are significantly larger and we can serve a lot more people and offer more adult activities."
Beau Hancock, Hugoton junior and Lawrence Arts Center employee, said students often came to the center to escape college life.
"It it gets you out of the KU zone," said. "You really get to know Lawrence. I feel like part of the community now."
Ellie Goudie-Averill, Topeka junior and Lawrence Arts Center employee, teaches dance classes at the center. She said she saw KU students in her classes all the time because enrolling in a dance class costs $27 at the center, compared with the higher tuition costs of taking dance classes at KU
Many KU students like Hancock and Goudie-Averill are taking their talents to the front of the classroom, said Evans.
"We offer real jobs with real references," she said. "Not all are arts students. We have internships in marketing and business, but we've definitely had an influence on students wanting to go into arts administration. Some even change their major."
Hancecock teaches a variety of dance classes. He said going from pupil to instructor was a natural progression after 18 years of dance training.
"It's wonderful experience and great preparation for my dance career," he said. "It's challenging to your own technique to teach what you've learned to others."
Fall class schedules are available now at the center. Evans said students could also suggest classes they would like the center to offer.

Market offers local goods
By Todd Smith
Kansas staff writer
Wendy Dalquest uses goat milk to make an all natural soap.
At the Lawrence Farmers Market customers can buy that goat soap they just can't do without or try something new like honey beef jerky.
The market, established 28 years ago, is the oldest continuous market in Kansas.
Dalquest, owner of Red Ribbon Acres,
1004 E. 1600 Road, southeast of Lawrence,
said she was known as the Goat Lady.
Dalquest displays her wares with Sue Cranston, another goat farmer, who sells ice cream and five kinds of cheese made from goat milk. She said they were a good combination.
"Wendy makes the inedible part, and I make the edible part." Cranston said.
Her son Anthony, owner of the business, is a Lawrence High School sophomore who suffers from epilepsy. The family helps sell his products because of his special needs.
His father, Tony Schwager, said the beehive business would supplement Anthony's income.
"My goal for him is to have a hundred by the time he turns 18," she said. "If you manage your bees you can double each year."
Terri Schwager said the family had 24 beehives.
During the week the crowds and the number of vendors can be small, but Mark Jones, Lawrence Farmers Market manager, said Saturdays got busy.
There are 65 vendors Saturday mornings, and during the week there are about 10 to 12, he said.
He said on Saturdays the market could attract more than 1,000 people.
Jones said everything was locally owned and produced.
"Most everything is sold in season," Jones said. "That is how you keep it local."
He said one could find herbs, pies and cakes at the market and later in the year pumpskins, watermelons and cantaloupes were sold.
Vendors pay different fees for displaying their wares.
Mary Joe Merseis, president of the vendors association, said each vendor paid a $25 advertising fee whether they were there one day or all year. A vendor can pay $100 for the full season or pay per day, which is $2 on Tuesdays and Thursdays and $10 on Saturdays.
The market is in the parking lot in the 1000 block of Vermont Street. It begins the second Saturday in May and runs through the second Saturday in November. It is open from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday and from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. every Saturday.

Two new restaurants triple options for custard in Lawrence
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 and Butterburgers join the Custard Cup as the custard shops in town.
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.
Duke Frye, 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.
"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 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, Ablene spring graduate; said
"The 23rd and Iowa location in my mind is the prime site in town. It is the highest traffic intersection in the city."
he had been to the Sheridan in Olathe and liked the taste and wide variety of ingredients.
Duke Frye
John Olson, co-owner of Culver's, 2111 W. 33rd St., said the restaurant provided a different niche than the other custard stores in town.
owner of Sheridan's Frozen Custard
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.
"The custard at Sheridan's was really smooth and it tasted really rich," King said.
Olson said that in addition to custard, but the restaurant also sold a lot of food items.
He said the combination of frozen custard and butterburger made the restaurant unique.
A butterburger has ground beef chuck on a lightly buttered and toasted bun. Olson said.
Olson said they chose the location on 35rd Street because of the expanding retail market in the area. The movie theaters are nearby, and JCPenney, SuperTarget, and Wal-Mart stores are close to the store, he said.
"Other than downtown, this is the hottest retail center in the city." Olson said.
"We have been busy, and we have done little advertising, and sales have been 35 percent above projections." Olson said.
He said the business was doing well since it opened on June 17.
He said he thought there was plenty of room in Lawrence for his business, Sheridan's and the Custard Cup.
Previously, the Custard Cup, 529 W. 23rd St., Suite E, was 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 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 are pretty loyal to their local businesses and they have been good to us," Plumberg said.
Culver's Frozen Custard and Butterburgers, 2111 W.33rd St., is one of two custard restaurants that opened this summer in Lawrence. It opened on June 17.

Writer wants Hollywood to cut cigarettes from films
By Joe Milicia
Associated Press Writer
Eszterhas, whose credits include "Basic Instinct" and "Showgirls", accused the rest of the film industry, too, of promoting smoking, and urged it to quit.
CLEVELAND — Hollywood screenwriter Joe Eszterhas, a lifelong smoker, said Friday that he has been treated for throat cancer and apologized for glamorizing cigarettes in his movies.
"My hands are bloody; so are Hollywood's," he wrote in an emotional op-ed piece in The New York Times.
Eszaterz, 57, said he was diagnosed with cancer 18 months ago. Much of his larynx is gone, he wrote, and he has difficult speaking and being understood.
Smoking was an integral part of many of my screenplays because I was a militant smoker. It was part of a bad boy image I'd cultivated for a long time — smoking, drinking, partying, rock 'n' roll," he said.
"Smoking. I once believed, was every person's right. ... I don't think smoking is every person's right anymore. I think smoking should be as illegal as heroin."
Eszterha, who grew up in Cleveland, is being treated at the Cleveland Clinic, where he had surgery, hospital spokeswoman Angela Calman said.
"At this time there is no evidence of cancer remaining," she said Friday.
She said Eszterhas was spending the day with family and was unavailable for comment. His agent referred calls to the clinic.
"I have been an accomplice to the murders of untold numbers of human beings. I am admitting this only because I have made a deal with God. Spare me, I said, and I will try to stop others from committing the same crimes I did."
In the newspaper piece. Esfjerhas said he has trouble forgiving himself for the rampant cigarette use in his films.
In 1992's "Basic Instinct," Eszterhas
"Smoking, I once believed, was every person's right. ... I don't think smoking is every person's right anymore. I think smoking should be as illegal as burgar."

"Sharon Stone's character smokes; Michael Douglas" is trying to quit. She seduces him with literal and figurative smoke that she blows in his face," he said. "In the movie's most famous and controversial scene, she even has a cigarette in her hand."
wrote, smoking was part of the sexual sub- text.
Eszterhaer said he has stopped smoking and drinking since his cancer was diagnosed, and he now walks five miles a day and attends church on Sunday.
"I'm no longer such a bad boy," he wrote. "I want to do everything I can to undo the damage I have done with my own big-screen words and images."
He concluded; "I don't wish my fate upon anyone in Hollywood, but I beg that Hollywood stop imposing it upon millions of others."
Larry Deutchman, an executive with Entertainment Industries Council, a group founded by film and TV companies to monitor social issues, applauded Eszterhay's remarks but said he didn't think Hollywood in general was guilty of glamorizing smoking.
"If he looks at his work and wishes he had done otherwise, I respect that and think it's terrific," Deutchman said. "But to blame the industry as if there's a conspiracy to promote tobacco use, I think might be a little unfair."

Student earns fellowship, develops polar radar
He recieved an Earth System Science Graduate Student Fellowship in July from NASA. It will finance his work developing radar that can see to the bottom of massive sheets of ice.
Some cool research means cold cash for Lawrence electrical engineering graduate student John Paden.

Paden's research is part of a National Science Foundation-funded project called Polar Radar for Ice Sheet Measurements, or PRISM
The fellowship is one of 52 given nationwide this year,
it will pay Paden's tuition and give him a stipend.
"This fellowship is a clear indicator of John's ability to contribute to the state-of-the-art research in his field," said Victor Frost, director of the Information and Telecommunication Technology Center where Paden works.
Paden will look at enormous chunks of ice that cover most of the land in Antarctica and Greenland. They can be over two miles thick and hold 77 percent of the world's fresh water.
Paden wants his radar to see how much of a sheet is fourier the ground and.

also wants to know
whether the area skating

Ice sheets gliding on slippery water move much faster than those scraping the bedrock, said Prasad Gogineni, professor of electrical engineering and computer science and PRISM's lead investigator.
Because icebergs continually break off the front of ice sheets, faster sheets add more water to the oceans that do slow ones.
The vast amount of water frozen in the sheets means the ice has a huge potential impact on global

sea levels, Paden said. For instance, if the entire Greenland ice sheet melted it would raise the world's oceans by 20 feet.
Such a rise would have catastrophic consequences, according to Paden.
Paden will combine his work with other PRISM researchers looking at things like the thickness of the ice sheets and how fast ice accumulates on top. All this information will allow the development of a computer simulation to reveal whether the ice sheets are growing or shrinking.
according to Fades.
"If sea level rose just three feet, it would flood the homes of 100 million people. Studying changes in the ice sheets like we're doing on this project can help us predict such rises ahead of time and prepare for them," he said.
Fears of global warming have spurred interest in PRISM. However, Paden noted that ice sheet research was important even if humans were not heating up the planet.
"There is lots of natural variation in sea level. Sea levels can change over periods as short as 20 to 50 years. Ice sheets probably play a big role in those changes." he said.
A key advantage of Paden's radar is its speed and mobility. Currently procedures require researchers to drill through an entire sheet to tell what lies at the bottom.
Drilling takes years and is often hampered by the extreme weather. Scientists have only bored a few holes all the way to the bottom of the ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica.
Paden hopes his radar will get the same information in a matter of minutes. He can also mount his radar in a specially designed all-terrain vehicle, making it easy to use in many locations.
Paden hopes to take his radar to Greenland next summer.

Just outside Lawrence; there's a place to ride alongside Texas longhorn cattle like a real cowpoke.
The cattle drives include 20 head of cattle and take about half an hour.
Rob Phillips, owner of Free State Farm,
1431 N. 1900 Road, is trying to bring tourists to the farm by providing cattle drives.
Phillips and his wife, Beverly, drive the cattle twice a day, at 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. They began the cattle drives in June to attract business to their bed and breakfast on the farm just north of Interstate 70, the Victorian Veranda Country Inn. The couple opened the bed and breakfast in 1998. It has 10 guest rooms and about 1,000 guests stay at the inn each year. Phillips said.
Sixty-seven percent of tourists who come to Kansas want to know where they can have a cowboy experience, according to the Kansas Department of Commerce and Housing.
"We are giving them a place in Kansas to see a cowboy." Phillips said.
tarah Herrington, Lawrence sophomore and backyard 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 the couple modeled their cattle drive after one at Stockyards Station in Fort Worth, Texas, a tourist attraction with daily cattle drives.
He said it worked well in Fort Worth and brought hundreds of tourists every year.
Since the farm started the cattle drives in June, about 80 people have come to watch or be a part of it. Phillips said.
"It's starting to be a steady flow of customers." he said.
People can watch the cattle drive for free. Riding along on a horse costs $40. To ride in a wagon pulled by horses during the cattle drive costs $10 for people over 12, $5 for children 6 to 12 and is free for children 5 and under. Horseback riding lessons are also available.
Private lessons cost $25 an hour and group lessons cost $75 an hour.

The farm offers two-hour trail rides that costed $38 for people who have been on a horse before. The trail rides are usually done on weekends by appointment.
Amber Kjelshus, Gardner senior and the lead horseback riding instructor, 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.

Tenants should read fine print on new leases
By Jay Pilgreen Kansan staff writer
Now that students are settling into their apartments, they should take time to read the fine print on their lease agreements, legal experts say.
Automatic renewal clauses specify a date by which tenants must tell their landlords that they don't want to renew the lease, usually 60 days before the end of the lease. If tenants don't contact their landlords, they can be responsible for another full year of rent.
Tenants should be aware of clauses in their leases that restrict subletting and could require them to stay for another year if they don't declare their intention not to renew the lease, said Michele Kessler, associate director for Legal Services for Students.
Kessler also urged students make sure landlords don't unfairly deduct from their security deposits for damage that did not occur.
"A lot of landlords think: if I hold a hundred bucks, the students expect to not get it back anyway." Kessler said.
Kessler said sublessees also risk losing deposits for damage they didn't cause. Many landlords don't allow potential sublessees to sign a new lease instead.
"Landlords want as many people on the hook as they can." Kessler said.
Brian Culver, Wichita senior, said he had lost his deposit before and wished he had made arrangements prior to moving in.
"You need to work it out with the person your subleasing from, or through the organization your subleasing from to make sure your only going to pay the security deposit portion from the time you move in to the time that you move out," Culver said.
One alternative is for the sublessee to pay a deposit to the original tenant and have the tenant sign over their security deposit. A signed agreement between the two parties can protect each member from future legal problems.
Kessler said students put down a deposit for an apartment should get a copy of the lease before they sign it. She said students should plan for the coming year before they sign the lease because most leases in Lawrence are not negotiable after signing.
"If you plan to get a pet halfway through the year, you better check." Kessler said.
Also, signed agreements between roommates about paying utilities can help roommates avoid potential disputes. Kessler said.
Students can go to the Legal Services for Students office, located in the Burge Union, for advice and information about lease agreements. The Off Campus Living Resource Center is slated to open in the Kansas Union this fall. It will provide services like landlord ratings and reviews of leases.

Disc golf a cheap sport gaining fans
Alix Greenwell, an employee at Sunflower Outdoor & Bike Shop, 802 Massachusetts St., said disk golf was similar to regular golf except the player throws a disk instead of swinging a golf club at the ball.
Sport expandable with skill level many courses in area
Students with a limited budget have an alternative to more traditional sports.

Kansan staff writer
Sunflower also offers an assortment of accessories, including gear bags, mini-markers to establish where the disc has fallen, practice baskets, rule books and the Professional Disc Golf Association disc golf course directory.
"It's not very physically challenging, but you are outside," Greenwell said.
The Lawrence course, located in Centennial Park, near the intersection of Ninth and Iowa streets, is free to play.
Alix Greenwell, an employee at Sunflower Outdoor & Bike Shop, 802 Massachusetts St. , said disc golf was an easy sport to learn.
Greenwell said players needed two discs, called a driver and a putter. Discs sell for about $8 to $20.
The sport is similar to golf. There are 18 holes, each with a tee box and a basket to represent the hole. A player throws a disc from the tee box at one end of the course, then continues throwing from the spot the disc lands until he or she puts a disc in the basket and the other end. Scoring is also similar to golf. There is a par for each hole and the player with the fewest throws wins.
Nick Schmidt, Denver senior, started playing the sport his sophomore year.
Schmidt said he took up the sport because it was cheap and allowed him get some exercise. He said that after a few times he considered it a hobby.
"It's a sport you can do at your own
pace," Schmidt said. "It's not strenuous."
Schmidt said he played once a week. He said a full round took about an 1 1/2 to play.
an 1/2 to play.
Since starting, Schmidt said he had bought an additional mid-range driver to add more versatility to his game. He said for a player of his experience, three discs were average, but some more experienced players would carry five or more.
Greenwell said there was room to
advance in skill and technique. She said players had the option of playing competitively.
"There are leagues also." Green-well said.

'Sex' tries to mimic tense nature of New York City
By David Bauder
AP Television Writer
AP Television Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — It had already been a lousy day for "Sex and the City" columnist Carrie Bradshaw when she tried to get on the subway. The entrance was roped off — another terrorist alert in an already skittish city had shut it down.
Recognize that scene from the HBO comedy's season-opener last month? No?
That's because it was filmed and discarded, deemed heavy-handed and untrue to what the city is experiencing in the summer of 2002.
"Sex and the City" producers faced a delicate balancing act this season. Not only did they have to craft compelling stories for the show's four women, they had to be true to dramatic changes in the fifth character: the city of New York.
The Sept. 11 terrorist attacks ended aided by a high, supercharged era in New York's history — a crucial part of the show's identity.
"The first thing I thought about the show was, 'How do we do it?' How do you continue?" executive pro ducer
Michael Patrick King said, recalling last fall. "One of the things that people like about the show is that we talk about what goes on in New York, a travelogue of what can happen."
It was an awkward time in the "Sex and the City" filming schedule. A short season of new episodes had already been filmed to air in January, and would contain no references to what happened.
Quite by chance, the mood of those episodes seemed in line with the city's. The final scene of Carrie, fresh from another missed connection with Mr. Big, walking down a city street as a leaf fluttered toward her captured an autumn feeling.
King convened his writers in December to begin thinking about the new season, knowing part of their job was to anticipate how the city would seem months later.
King decided to concentrate instead on where the characters were going.
"It's always about the city filtered through these girls eyes," he said. "It was never designed to capture a mass feeling about anything. We never thought about doing a 'where were
"It seemed to hit the right notes. We and the audience were in the same place. I was surprised at how many critics mentioned the references. They liked the reality. It was just a way of showing that we were not writing in a vacuum."
Micheal Patrick King "Sex and the City" executive producer
you then 'episode, or trying to trivialize the event at all.'
The references left in were subtle — a joke about "manthrax," and a passing mention about the need to shop downtown to help struggling shopkeepers.
In an upcoming episode, Carrie balks at having to fly somewhere, saying "I get a little nervous seeing the National Guard go through my makeup case."
"It seemed to hit the right notes." King said. "We and the audience
were in the same place. I was surprised at how many critics mentioned the references. They liked the reality. It was just a way of showing that we were not writing in a vacuum."
The season-opening episode, where the women attended a "fleet week" social gathering to check out visiting sailors, elevated New York's importance to the series in unexpected ways.
It was jaring when a Louisiana sailor complained about the city's noise and garbage in a conversation with Carrie. Not that those words hadn't been heard before — they're practically a cliche for out-of-towners — but it seemed so strange at a time other qualities of the city are being celebrated.
Carrie didn't take him home for the night. A few years earlier she might have, but it's an older Carrie. Slurring something that she loved was also a real turn-off.
"If you have a bad day in New York, you have a bad day." King said. "If you have a bad day in your relationship, you say you want to get out of it. Nobody thinks of leaving the
enty because of a bad day. We started to realize that we're more understanding of our city than our lovers."
HBO's advertising campaign for the current season features New York scenes when it never has before.
In prior seasons, star Sarah Jessica Parker and the other women were photographed for ads in a studio. This time, Parker is shown around New York — at a hot dog stand, in a cab, eating a slice of pizza or sitting on a park bench.
She looks wistful and pensive in some of the shots, as opposed to happily anticipating a night on the town. While it's primarily because the show's women are getting older and facing the prospect of life alone, it was also done with the city in mind.
"What we tried to do is reflect the appropriate tone," said Eric Kessler, HBO's executive vice president for marketing.
King said it feels like New York is in for some rough times. A year ago, he filmed a scene with a homeless person outside an expensive hand-bag store, but didn't use it because it didn't feel right. He was startled a few weeks ago to see the same scene in real life.
The good times may be running out for "Sex and the City." too.
"You want to stay at the party while it's still a party," he snid.
king sees himself being involved for one more year after the current season.

The Associated Press
LAWRENCE — Graduates who work in Kansas at least three years in their chosen field could have state-sponsored student loans forgiven, under a new program aimed at keeping skilled workers in the state.
Lawmakers approved the workforce development loan program during the past legislative session, and the mechanics of putting it in place are now being worked out. The program is aimed chiefly at vocational and technical students.
"We had been hearing from small businesses and large businesses that they were having problems getting and keeping help," said State Rep. Dennis McKinney, D-Greensburg, an advocate for the program.
The loan program was modeled after a similar program Kansas has used to hire physicians to rural areas, McKinney said.
Now the Kansas Board of Regents is working out details to get the program started. It isn't yet clear when the loans will be available or how many students might be able to advantage of them, said Diane Lindeman, the regents' director of student financial aid.
"We're hoping that after three or four years they will have married and settled down," giving them more reasons to stay in Kansas, McKinney said.
Contributed as
Loans will be made available according to a student's need. The regents also have to set up a list of educational programs in which an applicant must enroll to be eligible for the plan.
The loans will be funded by $500,000 taken each year by the Kansas Department of Human Resources from the federal Workforce Investment Act. The U.S. Department of Labor still must approve the use of Workforce Investment Act funds.
Deborah Gerner, professor of political science and a specialist on conflict resolution, met with Yasser Arafat in May. The Palestinian leader is pictured on an unadated file photo.

Council meeting
"From a recruiting standpoint, I think it's a great idea," said David Sostarich, director of Radiology Services at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. "We are up to staff and have been for a while, but there are lot of places that aren't."
Some of those who might benefit from the loans are students in medical programs, such as radiology and lab technicians. And Kansas employers are expected to benefit by knowing they will be getting a trained employee for at least three years.
Without incentives, Kansas faces a tough time recruiting and keeping medical lab technicians because they are in short supply across the nation. Many fail or drop out of training because of the class demands, said Skinner, who will soon have to start paying off her student loan.
"There were eight people in my class," she said, "and I was the only one who graduated."
When Deborah Gerner first met Yasser Arafat, she was impressed with the leader's charm.

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

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

NBC rushing out Martha Stewart movie
By Lynn Elber
AP Television Writer
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — NBC thinks a movie about Martha Stewart's life is a good thing and is rushing production on the project for the coming television season.
The film will include the latest chapters in her story, including her stock trades, and "is bound to stir the pot," said NBC Entertainment President leff Zucker.
The planned movie was fast-tracked in light of recent events. Zucker told a meeting of the Television Critics Association.
Congressional investigators are examining whether Stewart had inside information when she sold shares of the biotech company ImClone a day before the Food and Drug Administration announced it had decided not to consider its experimental anti-cancer drug
Zucker was asked if it would be difficult to include the stock angle because it's a developing story.
"Oh, we're going to work it in," he replied.
The film has yet to be cast and no air date was set.
Asked about the future of "Friends," which was widely expected to wrap up its successful nine-year run after the upcoming season. Zucker held out faint hope for another year for the No. 1 comedy.
"I wouldn't 100 percent put the nails on the coffin this year," he said, adding however that it's "most likely the final season."
The stars, including Jennifer Aniston and Matthew Perry, will each make a reported $24 million for the season's 24 episodes.
In another announcement, NBC said it will remake the hit 1976 horror film "Carrie." Other new films include "War stories," about war corpse-
dents and starring Jeff Goldblum; a Christmas movie with the Muppet characters and the return of Fred Dryser police detective Rick Hunter.
On the series side, Zucker said that the Sept. 24 "Frasier" season premiere will feature the wedding of lovebirds Niles and Daphnie, played by David Hyde Pierce and Jane Leeves.
Returning shows will get new cast members next season. Loriace Tousaint "Any Day Now") is joining "Crossing Jordan" and Lily Tomlin and Mary-Louise Parker will be regulars on "The West Wing." Parker, who has appeared on the White House drama, received an Emmy nomination last week.
"The West Wing" will debut with a two-hour episode Sept. 25. And "Watching Ellie," the sitcom starring "Seinfield" alumna Julia Louis-Dreyfus, will return at midseason with at least nine episodes.
Spiritual therapy replacing secular,traditional methods
By Jan Jarvis Knight Ridder Newspapers
ARLINGTON, Texas — The often emotionally draining group therapy sessions always end with Scriptures, Christian music and a prayer.
For Brandy, a 21-year-old college student wracked by depression and suicidal thoughts, that made all the difference.
"It was the first therapy I've ever gone to where they brought God into it," said Brandy, who asked that her last name not be used. "The therapist prayed for us, and we prayed for each other. It really felt good."
Mixing therapy and theology is hardy new, but the Christian counseling movement that became popular in the 1980s, only to be rocked by the health care crisis of the '90s, is getting a fresh start.
Therapists have at least a master's degree in counseling and a theological background. Both program directors said they consider the work part of their ministry.
In Arlington, midway between Fort Worth and Dallas, there are two faith-based programs at Millwood Hospital. The psychiatric hospital began offering faith-based programs because a lot of patients asked for them, spokesman Randy Kaniecki said.
The Rapha counseling program started last year, and the Minirth Christian program was added this spring, besaid.
both are nondenominational, biblically based therapy programs that combine religious teachings with counseling tools. Patients set goals, learn to change behaviors and practice relapse prevention from a Christian perspective.
The Christian program appeals to a variety of people, from those who
have left organized religion to devoutly religious individuals, said Rick Wilson, director of Rapha at Millwood.
"For many people who have strong religious beliefs, their faith carries them through life," said Wilson, a counselor who is working on his doctorate. "Part of their healing process is that strength they have in them."
Similarly, Minirth focuses on treating the whole person, body, mind and soul, said Brad Fairchild, a licensed professional counselor and director of Minirth at Millwood.
"Faith brings a certain amount of hope," he said. "A patient comes in with hopeless feelings. We provide some hope and a belief system."
It is appropriate to offer programs sensitive to the religious beliefs of patients, said Paula Dobbs-Wiggins, a Dallas psychiatrist.
"Patients want to utilize their religious resources and don't want to be in therapy that excludes something that's a very important part of their life," said Dobbs-Wiggins, who is also assistant professor of pastoral care at the Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.
At the same time, the programs should not be narrowly defined or intolerant of other perspectives, she said.
The programs have become so popular because they validate religious ways of understanding the world, said Mike McCullough, psychology professor at SMU. As a result, patients feel more comfortable seeking treatment and are more likely to get personally invested, he said.
Rapha and Minirth not only share the same approach in treating mental illnesses, but they also began 25 years ago when the Christian counseling movement was taking off.
In its heyday, Dallas-based Rapha
a Hebrew word meaning "Our God
who heals" . . . had 25,000 to 30,000
people. Wilson said.
"We were the largest Christian inpatient program in the nation," he said.
today there are three Rapha facilities, one each in Texas, Tennessee and Louisiana.
Minirth was founded by Dallas psychiatrist Frank Minirth, who has written more than 50 books and became a popular Christian speaker. The program spread to hospitals. Today the doctor runs a clinic in a Dallas suburb.
After the health maintenance organizations put limitations on coverage of inpatient treatment, and many psychiatric hospitals closed, Rapha and Minirth therapists responded by concentrating on crisis management and patient stabilization.
"We try to focus on the present, what needs to be done so the person can move forward," Fairchild said. "But we can't leave the past out."
While Christian counselors are trained to handle many mental disorders such as depression, more serious problems are not suitable for group therapy. Fairchild said.
"Someone who is really psychotic would be a disruption to the group, but they might join the group after they are stabilized," he said.
Brandy, who spent six days in the Rapha program, said she still battles depression, but she has learned how to deal with it better.
"For me, I had such a feeling of being lonely, like no one understood, and I couldn't trust people," she said. "Through Rapha I learned that all I had to have was trust in God."

Punk with heart: emo music gaining mainstream popularity
The Associated Press
It's called "emo," short for emotional — music with punk roots but more personal lyrics, sometimes painfully so. And it's catching on.
Some serious fans even have a "look" — short, greasy hair, dyed black with bangs cut high on the forehead; glasses with thick black frames; thrift-store clothes and chunky black shoes; and makeup, on anyone.
Nathan Johnson didn't even know what emo meant until he looked it up on the Web a few months back. Now he has the clothes and the glasses and likes some of the bands
considered "emo," Fugazi and Sunny Day Real Estate among them.
"It was as if all of the sudden emo was the 'cool' phrase on everyone's lips," says Johnson, who's 25 and from Dallas. "Drop it among your more mainstream friends and you achieved a sort of instant cool."
Not that emo is necessarily new. The term has been around since the mid-1980s when bands such as Rites of Spring and Embrace emerged from the Washington punk scene with more introspective lyrics. Terms such as "pop-pop" or "emotional hardcore," or "emo-core" followed.
Now the music and the term are
And this time, the buzz is surrounding bands more popular with the mainstream.
Bands being called emo include The Promise Ring, The Get Up Kids, Pedro the Lion and Dashboard Confessional, whose repertoire includes such acoustic gut-wrenchers as "Again I Go Unnoticed" and "Screaming Infidfulness."
Unhappy purists call much of it mall emo" and worry that its diluting the genre to the point of meaning-ness.
Marissa DiMeo, an emo fan from New York, understands the angst over labeling music that she says mixes a few genres — punk, hardcore and "indie" rock, music from independent labels that's played more often on college and Web stations than mainstream. But she does hear common thread in emo.
"At its heart are emotionally charged lyrics — love songs with attitude and edge," the 24-year old DIMeo savs.
Alan Shum, 18, agrees that emo is certainly not "stuff you could easily mosh to," a reference to the body-
crashing mobis that often form next to punk concert stages.
"Emo is softer, gentler music, where artists sing about unrequited love or depression to more mellow guitar chords," says Shum, who'll be a sophomore next fall at New York University.
He says it can be so soft that his friends use the term to insult one another and hang it on any song they deem "unnecessarily emotional."
Maybe that's why bands — even those getting attention for having an emo sound — are shunning the label.
Several, Including Dashboard Confessional and The Get Up Kids, declined to be interviewed for this
story.
Such a response isn't surprising to Jonah Matranga, a San Francisco-based singer-musician who performs as onlinedrawing — and who, in the late '90s, was dubbed the "emo king" by a British music publication.
A hit weary of the term, he says emo doesn't even mean what it once did — music that was "aggressively heart on the sleeve."
"Now it's more like 21st century Bay City Rollers. It's kind of party music with a sour face on," says Matranga, who prefers to call what he's doing "eccentric pop."

'Signs'director hopes for a hit
Knight Ridder Newspapers
CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. — Back in 1987, M. Night Shyamalan, then a high school senior, told his cardiologist father and obstetrician mother that he was having second thoughts about going into the family business.
Shoving aside his application for the University of Pennsylvania's premed program, the home-movie hobbyist from the Philadelphia suburbs instead applied to the New York University film school.
"Sinns", director M. Knight Shyamalan and Mel Gibson, who stared in the movie, share a laugh between takes.
This prospect filled his parents, emigres from India, with dread. Where was the job security, the community service, in a movie career?
As it turned out, Shyamalan — who turned 32 just after the release of "Signs," his supernatural thriller — has become a forensic filmmaker who approaches his specialty much as his parents do theirs. Like his "The Sixth Sense" in 1999 and "Unbreakable" a year later, with "Signs" — starring Mel Gibson as a preacher who has already lost his wife and faith when aliens threaten to snatch his family — Shyamalan diagnoses what ails his audience and proposes a healing course of cinematic catharsis.
Contributed art
To the eternal relief of his parents and the relish of his fans, Shyamalan's career choice has afforded him an enviable degree of financial security (to write and direct "Signs", his paycheck exceeded $10 million) and an outlet for a kind of community service. For if the multiplex is the village green of the millennium, Shyamalan is the guy most likely to bring people together for a group hug.
Hist timing is auspicious. Principal photography for "Signs" — shot in the Buck's County, Pa., towns of Doylestown, Morrisville and Newtown — commenced on Sept. 13. Already reeling from the terrorist attacks two days earlier, the cast and crew were further shaken by the symbolic link between the events in New York and the script's primal storyline after a fractured family knitting
In movies such as "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," Steven Spielberg proved himself the bard of the broken clan. With "The Sixth Sense" and "Signs," Shyamalan aspires to be the poet of the mended family.
together to fight invaders.
"I felt prescient," admitted Shyamalan last week at his offices in Conshohocken, minutes from downtown Philly and his home in Gladwyne, where he lives with his wife, Bhavna, a doctoral candidate in psychology at Bryn Mawr College, and their two daughters.
"I used to think that way about Michael Crichton, with 'Disclosure' in the bookstores just as Anita Hill appeared before the Senate to testify about sexual harassment. Maybe certain things are in the air."
In reality, 'Signs' theme is timeless. Its hero is a man who wonders whether it is faith or fate that dictates his destiny. If this had resonance when Shyumalan sold his script to Disney in March 2001, by Sept. 13 its vibrations could be measured by seismologists.
In "Signs," ground zero is the cornfield outside the farmhouse of Father Guham Hess, where some force has inscribed a cosmic crop circle in the amber waves of maize.
"Do you believe in miracles or do you just get lucky?" Graham (Gibson) asks his brother Merrill (Joaquin Phoenix), as they stand vigil to protect Graham's young children from the heart-but-not-seen menace outside. The thrust of the film is how Graham evolves from lapse-of-faith fatalism to lean-of-faith believer.
Ask the filmmaker, a practicing Hindu, what he believes in and, without blinking, he replies, "Miracles, definitely."
"The Sixth Sense" was a miracle. The quiet thriller about the boy who sees ghosts and the ghost who thinks he's curing him cost $40 million to make, earned $661 million worldwide and received six Oscar nominations.
After the film's phenomenal success, Shyamalan worried about being a one-hit wunderdick. Following "The Sixth Sense" was a frightening challenge for a junior auteur who lived 3,000 miles from Hollywood and whose prior studio effort, "Wide Awake" (1998), about a 10-year-old who literally and figuratively finds God after the death of his grandfather made $282,000.
Shyamalan's answer was "Unbreakable," about an extraordinary evil man (Samuel L. Jackson) who pushes a seemingly ordinary guy (Bruce Willis) into recognizing his superheroic powers. While it was commercially successful, grossing $249 million worldwide, "Unbreakable" had a lot of guts, but little heart.

ABC gets programming from other networks
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Struggling ABC is getting more programming help from the cable TV program, adding a USA Network deal to one just announced with HBO.
ABC will air episodes of the new detective drama "Monk" following their debut on USA, the networks said Tuesday.
On Aug. 5, ABC said it had signed a deal with HBO to have the cable network's independent production arm help develop new programming during the next two years.
It goes against the grain of the cable-broadcast relationship, in which programs usually debut on broadcast networks and then repeat on cable channels.
"Monk," which stars Tony Shalhoub as an obsessive-compulsive private investigator, was a top 10 cable draw when it debuted in July and has continued performing well for USA. ABC's Tuesday airings of "Monk" will follow each episode's original Friday showing on USA. As part of the agreement, USA won't show any episodes in between, the networks said.
The deal is mutually advantageous, according to the networks: ABC said it

LONDON (AP) -- Jim Hendrix has been voted the greatest guitar player in a poll conducted by Total Guitar magazine.
Hendrix, who died in 1970 at 27, beat Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page to the top spot in the poll of the magazine's readers, it was announced this week. Eric Clapton came in third, followed by Slash of Guns N' Roses and Brian May of Queen.
Hendrix made his name in the late 1960s with classics such as "Hey Joe," "Purple Haze" and "Voooodo Chile."
Younger talents also made the top 100, including Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead at No.35 and Neoel Gallagher from Oasis at No.50. Johnny Ramone of The Ramones — who built a long career on rudimentary three-chord rock — was No.88.
"Personally I don't know if it's a bad thing," said Scott Rowley, the magazine's editor. "Women just aren't as geeky or competitive about it as guys. Instead of showing off, they're trying to write a good song. Which is probably smarter."
No woman made the top 100. Only one — Tracy Chapman — was among 440 guitarists nominated by the magazine.
Federal judge donates items to Lincoln museum
SPRINGFIELD, III. (AP) — With a name like his, Abraham Lincoln Marovitz seemed destined to celebrate and commemorate the life and times of the nation's 18th president. And that's exactly what he did.
On Aug. 5, the late U.S. District judge's extensive collection of books, photographs and other historic items from that era was donated to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, which will open in November.
His collection includes every significant scholarly biography written about Lincoln, along with rare burs and bookends. Some of it probably will be displayed in the section of the library detailing Lincoln's legacy, and the books will be available to scholars and the public, said Tom Schwartz, Illinois' state historian.
Schwartz said Marowitz, who died last year at 95, was more interested in building on Lincoln's legacy than in trying to imitate it. The collection included 450 books and pamphlets, more than 100 prints and photographs and a number of other collectables.
"He wasn't trying to be Abraham Lincoln, but he certainly was trying to give something to America in the way that Abraham Lincoln did," Schwartz said.

'Master of Disguise' lacks humor, purpose
By Christry LeMire
AP Entertainment Writer
Such a sad irony that Dana Carvey, who's made his name bringing celebrities to life with uncanny impersonations, should make such a lifeless movie based on characters of his own creation.
Carvey becomes about a dozen different people, none of them inspired, in "The Master of Disguise," which he also wrote.
I feel bad saying that — I really do. After Carvey's botched open-heart surgery in 1998, for which he sued his doctor for millions of dollars, it would have been nice to see him have a hit.
This, however, is not it.
Carvey wastes his comic talents so egregiously. It makes you wish he'd bust into his Johnny Carson impression, or Garth from "Wayne's World." Even a hackneyed "Well, isn't that special?" from the Church Lady would have been welcome. (He does do an impression of President Bush, but it's surprisingly flat, considering that his version of Bush's father is one of his best-known characterizations.)
Instead, Carvey stars as the nerdy but well-intentioned Pistachio Disguisey, which consists of him speaking in a bad Italian accent and nervously twitching. Pistachio lives at
home with his parents (Edie McClurg and James Brolin, who doesn't need a role this badly) and works as a waiter in their Italian restaurant.
Frabbrizio and Mama Disguises are kidnapped by the dastardly Devil Bowman (Brent Spiner), who wants to use Frabbrizio's talent for morphing into other people in order to steal the world's greatest treasures.
Pistnehio learns from his grandfather (Harold Gould, who's repeatedly humilized) that he also has this family gift of mimicry, and he uses it to try to rescue his parents. He hires a beautiful assistant (Jennifer Esposito) and, unbelievably, she falls in love with him.
Not that the plot matters, though. It's a device for Carvey to unleash his many meaningless characters, including a Belgian tax collector, a schoolgirl, a British detective, a talkative old lady and a giant clump of grass. The laest of all is when he sneaks into the exclusive Turtle Club dressed in a turtle suit and says the word "turtle" over and over.
Before the action even begins, the words "A Happy Madison Production" in the opening credits are enough to induce dread. You know this will be yet another agonizing movie from Adam Sandler's production company for a fellow "Saturday Night Live" alum.
Let's take a quick look at Happy Madison's previous atrocities: "Deuce Bigalow. Male Gigolo" and "The Animal" starring Rob Schneider; "Joe Dirt" starring David Spade; and Sandler's own movies, including "Little Nicky."
The director of "The Master of Disguise," Perry Andelin Blake, is another longtime Sandler collaborator, having worked as a production designer on movies including "The Waterboy," "Big Daddy" and "Mr. Deeds."
Carvey meant well, though. He wanted to make a PG movie for kids, without the typical gross-out humor that pervades this kind of comedy. However, the fart jokes are the only ones that made kids laugh at a recent screening.
Nothing here is funny — not the characters, who are singularly obnoxious. Not the jokes, which are beaten to death. And not the dialogue, which consists of Pistachio repeating everything everyone says. The movie's only 80 minutes long — if each line were said just once, it would only last 40 minutes, and even that would feel like an eternity.
"The Master of Disguise," a Columbia Pictures release, is rated PG for mild language and some crude humor. Running time: 80 minutes. One star out of four, the lowest rating.

"The Master If Disuse." The
film's running time is 80 minutes.

Eastwood's star persona comes through in 'Blood Work'
By Ben Nuckolss Associated Press Writer
Clint Eastwood is getting older, and he knows it. He just doesn't understand why it should make any difference.
In "Blood Work." Eastwood's 23rd film as director and 44th as star, he plays a heart-transplant recipient. But any hope that the 72-year-old movie god might explore the realities of aging and illness in an honest, moving way are quickly dashed.
For Eastwood's Terry McCaleb, a retired FBI profiler, the grueling regimen necessary to keep his body from rejecting the new organ is only a minor annoyance in the quest to solve a murder. Sure, he has to nap regularly and take 34 pills with unknown side effects every day, but by the end of "Blood Work" such details don't matter. He still a killer's worst nightmare.
Eastwood's refusal to adjust his
star persona is both a curse and a blessing to "Blood Work." In someone else's hands, the movie could have been more cerebral, more critical of the hero, dwelling longer on his physical ordeal and on the folly of him running around with a gun or jumping out of the way of a speeding car while a delicate new heart beats behind his sewn-up breastplate.
The movie opens pre-transplant, with McCaleb working the scene of a serial killer's latest murder; as usual, the perpetrator has written a message
But it's exactly because Eastwood doesn't probe psychology or physiology that "Blood Work" clicks so well as a straight thriller. He gives Brian Helgeland's workmanlike script — an adaptation of a pulpy page-turner by Michael Connelly — his usual straightforward treatment. Nothing gets in the way of the story, which manages to be satisfying even if you figure out early on who the mysterious bad guy is.
Eastwood's refusal to adjust his star persona is both a curse and a blessing to "Blood Work." In someone else's hands, the movie could have been more cerebral, more critical of the hero, dwelling longer on his physical ordeal and on the folly of him running around with a gun...
in blood, imploring McCaleb to catch him. The killer gives his pursuer a fighting chance, waiting in the media strong outside the crime scene. McCaleb gives chase, but is felled by a massive coronary.
Two years later, having survived the wait for a transplant, Caleb is
recuperating in peace aboard his houseboat when the movie's central gimmick arrives in the form of Gracilla Rivers (Wanda de Jesus), who informs McCaleh that he got her sister's heart after she was shot to death in a convenience store robbery.
With help from his boat-bum neighbor (Jeff Daniels with his "Dumb & Dumber" haircut) and a Los Angeles County detective with whom he has a romantic history (Tina Lifford), McCaleb quickly finds unusual details in the killing and links it to another seemingly random stickup homicide. And his personal connection to the victim takes his work in unexpected directions.
Pace has always been an issue for Eastwood as a director, admirers call him "measured" while detractors usually go with something like "sommumbulant." Here, he gets it just right, working through the plot with clarity
and precision. A less patient director might have rushed over points that Eastwood is careful to explicate Taken on its own sensationalist terms, the movie is plausible; it holds together.
Eastwood's vanity is the only thing that gives pause. It's not that he tries to hide his age — no hazy lightning or heavy makeup softens his creases. He just won't let the passage of time alter the stolid, invulnerable heroism he's been cultivating since the mid-1960s.
As always, the movie turns on everybody's realization that Eastwood is the smartest, sexiest, toughest guy in the room.
Even McCaleb's cardiologist (Angelica Huston) — who warns him he's risking his life and refuses to continue treating him if he continues the investigation — eventually takes part in it enthusiastically. She clearly has no reason to worry about her patient.
Like the other supporting actors, Huston brings a strong presence to a role that amounts to little more than an extended cameo. Eastwood tends to cast familiar faces in roles that play to their strengths; Huston radiates a steely empathy and Daniels loafs around with hangdog charm.
It's both reassuring and frustrating that Eastwood will always be Eastwood. If he refuses to change, is he relevant anymore? His movies are easy to admire for their professionalism and lack of fuss, but watching him squander the opportunity to do something different is no more fun than watching "The Outlaw Josey Wales" or "Unforgiven" for the 15th time.
He's the same old Clint, now and forever.
"Blood Work," a Warner Bros. release, is rated R for violence and language. Running time: 120 minutes. Two and a half stars (out of four).

Transsexuals demand more rights
KRT Campus
Cities across the United States are crossing one of the last civil rights frontiers, extending employment, housing and public accommodation protections to transgender people.
Dallas, New York and Philadelphia have each passed such anti-discrimination ordinances within the last three months, bringing the total to 46 U.S. cities and four states across the country.
Most have been enacted within the last three years, with many activists in part crediting a rise in political organizing by gender activists since the mid-1990s and the Internet-fueled rise of community organizing for transgender people.
They say they also have been helped by shifting public awareness and understanding fueled by movies such as the Oscar-winning "Boys Don't Cry" and "Southern Comfort", winner of the 2001 best documentary award at the Sundance Film Festival.
Companies ranging from Aetna to Apple. Lucent Technologies. American Airlines, Xerox and Intel have included protection of the transgendered in their anti-discrimination policies, and corporate sponsors are sending money and representatives to transgendered community events in large cities such as Houston.
"I really think more and more that public and business entities are recognizing that being transgendered is not a moral failing. It's a condition that you have," said veteran Richardson, Texas Police Officer Diana Powe, who changed her identity to female in 2000 with support of her chief.
The term transgendered covers a broad spectrum of gender issues, including transsexuals, or individuals found to have been born with physical attributes of one gender and psychological attributes of the other, to cross-dressers and the intersexed individuals born with some degree of
both male and female sexual organs
Since the late 1960s, transsexuals in whom gender identity disorder has been formally diagnosed have been able to undergo surgery to change their sex organs and appearance.
But community leaders say bias and ignorance about the medical nature of the condition meant that taking on a new sexual identity caused the loss of jobs, families, friends and virtually all else associated with the old.
"This has always been a misunderstood and little known phenomenon. And a lot of the bias against us is just the fear of other. We mess with people's primary gender concepts," said Vanessa Edwards Foster of Houston, a board member and spokeswoman for the National Transgendered Advocacy Coalition.
"A lot of folks assume it's very captivious, that we decide on a whim. I'm going to be a woman," she said. "The fact is that it is a very agonizing decision. It's a tremendous leap, and there's still not much of a safety net."
Making the transition once always meant "going stealth," or hiding every aspect of one's former life, and Foster and other activists say that many transgendered people in Texas still turn their lives upside down to avoid being found out.
"I know a number of teachers around the state — 35 to 40. They change cities. They change records. They get the gender changed on their employment records. They do it in total secrecy. They totally turn their lives upside down out of necessity," said Houston activist Sara DePalma. "They're not going to be honest and open about it. They live in terror of being out."
She and others said that fear has begun to lift in recent years, as a national web of support and advocacy groups began coalescing on the Internet in the mid-90s and gay and lesbian rights issues began drawing
"I think it's accurate to say that we're now probably where the gay and lesbian communities were 20 years ago," Foster said.
increasing public attention and support
She and others estimate that as many as a third of transgendered people who undergo identity changes now do so relatively openly and manage to keep their jobs.
Stephanie Gonzalez, an assistant city attorney in Lewisville, Texas, said she was greeted widely with concern and support after a recent return to work after sex change surgery. City officials there issued a statement to explain what had happened.
"This is 2002, and it's not a new concept," Gonzalez said. "I think it is becoming more accepted as we get more educated and understand that this is a medical condition."
But community activists say many who make the change on the job still face hurdles as basic as where they can use office bathrooms.
They note that discomfort with gender identity issues is still so common that gay and lesbian activists often jetison efforts to add protection for the transgendered to try to make anti-discrimination and hate-crimes measured.
One New York gay lobbying group has fought for several years to keep such protections out of bills aimed at outlawing discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
Foster said the hate crime bill passed by the Texas Legislature in 2001 excluded bias crimes against the transgendered because supporters feared the bill would otherwise be torpeded.
DePalma said she and other Texas transgender activists have repeatedly tried without success to convince state lawmakers of the need for legal protections to ensure such basic rights as being able to get a driver's license or state ID card with the proper sex designation.
Knight Ridder Newspapers
Tommy Lee's new solo album, "Never a Dull Moment," has a few
NEW YORK _ Tommy Lee called his new album "Never a Dull Moment" because, in his life, there never is.
"I walk around saying that to myself a lot," says the former drummer for Motley Crue, ex-husband of Pamela Anderson, and co-star with her in an infamous unauthorized home-video sex tape. With his new girlfriend Maya Gurcia who was previously married to Prince, in tow, he's touring the country with his own heavy-rock band.
Bounding into a conference room lined with pictures of Jimi Hendrix he's wearing denim and a "wifebeater" undershrift that shows off a tattoo of Mighty Mouse bursting through a bass drum. Lee got it in 1981, and hasn't been able to stop inking himself since. "They're like potato chips: Once you get one, there's no turning back."
"A really good friend of mine said to me! Dude, you've got to call your record that!" And I was like 'Of course I do!' It's perfect. I have a very exciting life and there's always something fun going on. I'm never, ever bored."
On this particular recent Marhamtian evening, the tanky, nose-ringed 39-year-old is principally excited about "Never," his first proper solo album ("Methods of Mayhem"), his initial 1999 post-Crue move, was a modest-selling rap-metal collaboration with the rapper Tilo.
Lee is amped and open. As Anderson told an interviewer in the June/fuly issue of Jane magazine, "Tommy can be very charismatic." The renowned rock 'n' roll bad boy is a "people pleaser" who exudes an earnest, goofy charm. When asked about saying, "I do things because I love them, but also
because I want the recognition," in the best-selling Motley Crue tell-all book "The Dirt," he says, "I said that? The Realy? Darn."
He's up for talking about the "ugly" custody battle he locked in with Anderson. And the lawsuit involving the death of a 4-year-old boy in his back-yard pool. And the decades of debauchery chronicled in 2001's "The Dirt," which makes the Crue sound like the sleaziest rockers of all time.
But first, the music
Lee recorded most of "Never" at his Mallu, Calif. home, playing the majority of the instruments himself. Onstage, Lee, a powerhouse drummer known for playing his kil while suspended upside down, sings and plays guitar. In one extended segment, however, he pounds the skins while Garcia shows off her belly dancing.
"When I did the 'Methods' record, creatively I was going to do whatever I wanted. It was wide-open and called for some guest stars," including Fred Durst, Snoop Dogg and Kid Rock, who is now engaged to Anderson. On the "Never" liner notes, Lee thanks Rock, for "taking #S"" off my hands."
After going home in September 2000 after doing the Ozzfest tour with "Methods," I just started doing everything myself. The drums and the guitars, the bass lines, everything."
There's a misguided cover of David Bowie's "Fame" and a handful of surprisingly melodic songs such as "Blue" and "Held Me Down." After seven weeks, it's No. 162 on the Billboard albums chart after peaking at 39.
The result is a serviceable heavy-rock record with generic vocal that backs away from the 'Methods' rap metal blueprint.
Lee, who was born in Athens boast American Army sergeant father and a Greek beauty queen mother, says he left Motley Crue after nearly two decades because his creativity was being stymied. Songwriter bassist Nikki Sixs "used to say that Motley Crue was a brand."
Because the material Lee was writing didn't fit the "Girls, Girls, Girls" model that served the Los Angeles hair-metal band so well in the 1980s, however, "it was like .. I'm going to die if I don't make a move."
Outside of music, Lee has plenty going on to keep his life from ever getting dull. Like Anderson, who is now writing an advice column for Jane, he's dabbling in magazine work as a guest photographer for Playboy.
And he's dedicated to doing "whatever it takes" to win the custody battle for his sons, Brandon, 6 (who is heard saying, "That's bad. Dad" after a particularly gnarly riff on "Never"), and Dylan, 4.
"I just want what's best for the kids, and what's best for them is to spend just as much time with me as their mom," says Lee, who says his seven-year pre-Anderson marriage to actress Henther Locklear went sour because the actress did not want to have children.
On "Larry King Live" last week, Anderson repeated allegations that she had contracted hepatitis C from sharing a tattoo needle with Lee. The rocker, who spent three months in jail for spousal abuse in 1998, denied he has the disease, and accused Anderson of making false allegations.
"I don't know why anyone would sling around anything like that. I just know it's wrong."

Networks focus on 'comfort TV'
By Frazier Moore
AP Television Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — If you had been strolling on Fourth Avenue in Manhattan one morning last week, you might have come upon "NYPD Blue," visiting from Los Angeles to shoot location scenes.
Deployed along a city block were Dennis Franz (Detective Sipowicz), several of his co-stars plus police cars and ambulances all waiting in the heat for the cameras to roll.
Even with summer still in force — at 8 a.m., this day already was sweltering — the television industry has resumed production for fall, and there could be no more reassuring sign of it than seeing New York's (fictional) Finest back on the streets.
Granted, "NYPD Blue" entering its 10th season lacks the creative vigor it once had. The show is like a cop near retirement, hanging on to make his pension. After all this time, he's seen it all. And so has the seasoned "NYPD Blue" viewer, long past the point of being surprised by the show that used to pack surprises every week.
But that isn't bad. That's "comfort TV," which last season became the networks' favorite buzzword and, now, their obsession, as they start the new season in a climate of fear.
TV is nothing if not a mirror of society and, society-wide, fear is in vogue. No wonder. If you believe the news this summer, not only is your 401(k) a lost cause, but your child needs a personal bodyguard 24/7, and your airline nilot needs a Breathalvizer.
Meanwhile, the collective psyche
of the TV industry is plagued by its own special demons. Eroding audiences. Runaway production costs. Those confounded TIV tvo gadgets that let viewers zap commercials.
In June, Variety reported that despite near-record ad sales in the preseason "upfront," "making money in network television has never been harder. Only two webs (NBC and CBS) turned a profit last year, and the outlook for 2002 isn't much brighter."
In this jittery environment, "comfort TV" must move to the next level. Call it "rescue TV," pulling viewers and networks back from the edge.
At a moment when everyone is feeling preyed upon, ABC's righteous "NYPD Blue" will be joined in prime time by no fewer than 20 crime-and-punishment series — seven of them new.
Playing to a nation that would love to erase the past year and try again, both the WB comedy "Do Over" and ABC's drama "That Was Then" dispatch their heroes to a state of youth where life's mistakes can be corrected and history rewritten.
In tune with a society that feels chronically unnoored, the new CBS drama "Without a Trace" will try to find missing persons while the title character of Fox's "John Doe," who doesn't know who he is, will try to find himself.
A few upcoming series (including NBC's drama "Boomtown," and, from ABC, the Bonnie Hunt sitcom "Life with Bonnie" and the wacky mystery "Push, Nevada") are stirring critical interest. But clearly no one at the networks is looking to revolutionize drama or comedy this fall. A climate of fear breeds lowered expectations — from network and viewer alike.
Perhaps no show reflects more modest hopes than NBC's sitcom "The In-Laws," which reveals TV's new normal to be old hat. A sort of denatural"All in the Family" 30 years later, "The In-Laws" finds winsome but money-strapped newlyweds Matt and Alex moving in with her parents, who are played by brassy Jean Smart and graff Dennis Farina.
"The In-Laws" is meant to charm the audience with its reassuring familiarity. That, Zucker says, is what Tuesday-at-8 on-NBC calls for.
And, odds are, that's what YOU'RE calling for.
You want gut-wrenching drama?

Adjusting to his "little girl's" marriage has put Dad on edge, and at one point he bolts from the house in a snit.
Bingo! says NBC Entertainment President Jeff Zucker, explaining how this was his aim for the Tuesday-at-8 time period, which in recent years has been a killing field for more inventive fare.
"When your father gets upset he takes long drives," Mom explains. "We once had an argument over daylight-saving time and he was gone for seven hours." Wait a beat for the inevitable punch line: "Or, according to him, eight."
Judging from its pilot, "The In-Laws" defies evaluation as good or bad. Instead, it succeeds at being comfortably predictable, already lodged in the viewer's experience — even sight unseen.

Lesin's ministry is the licensing authority for Russian CD and DVD manufacturers.
According to the U.S. Embassy, Russia manufactures over 200 million CDs and DVDs a year, while domestic demand is estimated at 10 million.

KUInfo line could fold

University administrators are considering a plan that could do away with the KU Info phone line, the all-knowing hotline that has served the campus community for more than 30 years.

"It will not close," Hummert said.

Fraternity hands out school supplies
By Todd Rapp
kansan staff writer
Some students' school supplies lists got a little shorter at the Wescoe Beach'n Boulevard party Tuesday night.
Members of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity handed out more than 100 packages of school supplies amidst music and dancing students during the Hawk Week activity. Each package contained a notebook, pens, pencils and information about Alpha Phi Alpha's history and the
role of the Black Student Union on campus.
Edward Thomas, vice president of Alpha Phi Alpha, said planning for the event began three weeks ago, when members decided to help students focus on education. "A lot of the time, people come to school, go to parties and clubs, and forget about books," said Thomas, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore. "We felt a good place to remind people about school was at a party."
The KU Bookstores provided some
"If it wasn't for the hard work of the members of the Alpha Phi Alpha chapter, this event would not have been possible," said Anthony Brown, president of Alpha Phi Alpha and Grandview, Mo., sophomore.
materials for the packages. Members of Alpha Phi Alpha composed the remainder of the packets using the chapter funds they raised throughout the year.
Mark Dupree, treasurer of Alpha Phi Alpha, said turnout for the event was excellent and the packages created a lot
of interest. So much interest, in fact, that Alpha Phi Alpha members gave away left-over unfinished packages.
"People were so excited about it,it got to the point where we couldn't hand out the bags because people were snatching them away," said Dupree, Kansas City, Kan., junior. "When we shut down for the night,we didn't find a single bag left."

Parking department hits road bump
Dale, a parking officer who preferred to maintain his anonymity, issues a ticket on campus.
Eric Braem/Kansas
By Nathan Dayani
Kansan staff writer
As the University of Kansas becomes inundated with new faces, the parking department is trying to educate new students on its policies.
"We're trying to pre-educate, going to different halls and dorms and training kids to give them a heads up on when they need permits," said Rita Jordan, field supervisor for the parking department.
Seth Fishman, complex director for apartment living, said the parking department's information campaign had gotten off to an early start by dropping off fliers a few weeks ago.
Jordan said several scholarship hall directors had been informed about parking policy, but those contacted Wednesday were not aware of the department's efforts to educate.
However, few students seem to take an interest in the parking department's push for policy awareness. Only a handful attended a Tuesday seminar sponsored by the parking department at the Kansas Union.
"You hope to have more students, but at least they'll know where to tell people to direct their comments and questions," Jordan said.
At the seminar, Jordan told students how to navigate parking rules and regulations.
Melaura Rose, Olathe freshman who attended the seminar, said she was not surprised by the seminar's low turnout because students weren't generally excited about parking issues, and many had been too busy to attend.
Many students who are uninformed about parking policy sometimes react harshly and unfairly after getting a ticket, lordan said.
Rose said students tend to scrutinize parking department employees.
"They're doing their job," she said.
"Like any other job, they do what they do and have no prejudice against you."

KU student dies in K-10 car crash
By Michelle Burhenn
Kansan staff writer
A University of Kansas student was killed Monday night in a one-vehicle accident while traveling on Kansas Highway 10 just east of DeSoto, Kansas Highway Patrol officials said.
Snauna Szymkowski, 21, Overland Park senior, was traveling westbound on K-10 when she lost control of her vehicle and crossed the eastbound lanes of traffic. Trooper Mike Gruber said.
The vehicle rolled multiple times and landed on the driver's side on the south shoulder of the eastbound lanes. A trooper discovered the accident around 9:12 p.m.Monday,Gruber said.
Szymkowski was partially ejected because the shoulder harness of her seat belt was tucked behind her seat. She was pronounced dead at the scene, Gruber said. The accident is still under investigation.
Majoring in elementary education with an emphasis in teaching English as a second language, Szymkowski was set to graduate in December and finish her teaching certification at Ottawa University.
She planned to attend law school after graduation,said her father, Jerry Szymkowski.

Szymkowski
"She was what I always called a classic over-achiever," he said. "She wasn't always the smartest, but I guarantee she outworked everybody."
Szymkowski most recently worked as a bartender at Louise's West, 1307 W. Seventh St.
Her father said she tried to juggle academics, work and a social life. He attributed her success to her grades and close friends.
She was driving to work at the time of the accident,he said.
"She was very bright," said Rodriguez who taught Szymkowski in a class last spring.
"She was a very serious student. She was always asking questions in class. She was very outgoing. She did everything well and took her academic roles very seriously."
Fred Rodriguez, associate dean of the School of Education, said Szymkowski was a dedicated student.
Szymkowski visited Harken's parents last year before leaving for a study abroad session in Great Britain.
Kari Harken, Leawood senior; attended Blue Valley North High School with Szymkowski.
Harken said she would remember her for her thoughtfulness and friendship.
"Before I went to study abroad she went over to my parents' house to give them a picture of me that she had blown up," Harken said. "She was so generous and compassionate. I mean, who does things like that? She did."

University reopens Memorial Drive
Memorial Drive, the back door for many students who live north of campus, opened to through traffic yesterday.
The street's west side closed for construction in June, said Rita Jordan, field supervisor for the University of Kansas parking department. Jordan said the construction workers finished the work smoothly.
"They worked speedily, and they did a good job," she said.
Jordan said the construction helped strengthen the street's foundation.
Construction workers also repaved the west side of the street and improved its gutters and surrounding walls to help prevent soil erosion.

Construction worker killed while building mausoleum
LENEXA — A construction worker was killed after the ground caved in while he was working on a moussoleum.
Mark A. Henry, 48, of Glathea was found Monday after his wife called his employer about 9:15 p.m. Henry had started a 30-minute job at the Resurrection Cemetery that morning and should have been home long before nightfall, said Henry's boss, Dan Haake of Haake Foundations.
Police said an autopsy Tuesday showed Henry died from internal injuries suffered when dirt slammed him against the concrete foundation.
Cement workers had been scheduled to be at the mausoleum on Monday morning, but their job was postponed because the ground was too muddy for their truck to pull up. Hake said.
Plane modifications nearly complete for airborne laser
WICHITA — Boeing Co. has nearly finished modification of a 747-400 freighter to carry the world's first airborne laser, with the
aircraft to leave Kansas this year to be equipped with the futuristic weapon, an Air Force official said Tuesday.
Force dRhythm Costs for the prototype are now projected at $1.7 billion by the time the aircraft is finished and testing completed in 2005, said Col. Ellen Pawikowski, program director for the Airborne Laser Defense program, which is based at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, N.M.

In 1988, the Air Force awarded a $1.1 billion contract to Boeing, TRW and Lockheed Martin to begin work on a prototype that would detect, track and destroy ballistic missiles.
If the work goes as scheduled, the newest plane in the Air Force's arsenal could be ready for flight testing by 2004.
the aircraft made its maiden flight in July and after seven flights has logged nearly 20 hours as engineers conducted flight tests. It will now be turned it over to Edwards Air Force Base in California — where the laser weapon system will be installed, officials said.
Experimental AIDS drug raises treatment hopes
NEWYORK—A new, experimental drug is raising hopes for AIDS sufferers with strains of the virus that are resistant to existing treatments, but the complex manufacturing process is expected to mean high prices and limited quantities.
Dubbed Fuzon by its developers, Roche Group and Trimeris Inc., the drug won a priority, six-month review from the Food and Drug Administration. The companies hope to be approved and on the market next spring.
approved as the first in a class known as fusion inhibitors, is designed to block HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, from entering blood cells. It acts on the third stage of that entry process, known as fusion.
Roche, based in Switzerland, and Trimeris, of Durham, N.C., won't discuss pricing details until the drug is approved, but say Fuzeon is complicated to produce and will be expensive. Experts predict a cost of between $10,000 and $15,000 a year per patient.
AOL could buy AT&T stake in Time Warner company

Neighbor convicted in kidnapping,murder case
SAN DIEGO — A neighbor was convicted Wednesday of kidnapping 7-year-old Danielle van Dam from her home and killing her in the first of a string of brazen child abductions that have drawn national attention this year.
Danielle's mother burst into tears and a crowd outside the courthouse cheered as the jury convicted self-employed engineer David Westferield of murder, kidnapping and possessing child pornography.
Westerfield looked at the jury but showed no obvious reaction; the 50-year-old faces either life in prison or execution when the trial's penalty phase begins next week.
The parents, jurors and trial attorneys remain under a gag order and couldn't comment on the verdict.
The jury deliberated for about 40 hours over 10 days after a lurid trial in which the defense suggested that the lifestyle of Danielle's parents, including spouse-swapping and marijuana use, put her at risk.
Bush to consult allies before Iraq attack
CRAWFORD, Texas—President Bush, confronting skittish allies overseas and naysayers at home, asserted Wednesday that ousting Iraq's Saddam Hussein "is in the interests of the world" but indicated the United States is in no hurry.
"I'm a patient man." Bush told reporters on his Texas ranch.
At nearby Fort Hood, Defense Secretary Donald, H. Rumsfeld, told soldiers that war with Iraq was not inevitable.
"The president has made no such decision that we should go into a war with Iraq. He's thinking about it," along with economic and diplomatic measures for eliminating any threat from Saddam, Rumsfeld said.
Bush interrupted more than three hours of big-picture military planning with top advisers at his ranch to address questions — the "churning," he called it — about U.S. intentions toward Iraq and growing opposition to any military strike there.

Musharraf grants himself broad elections powers
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Despite widespread criticism, President Gen. Pervez Musharraf unilaterally amended the Pakistani constitution Wednesday, granting himself self-sweeping powers — including the right to dissolve parliament — and extending his term in office.
"Pakistan is passing through a very crucial transitional period," Musharraf told reporters in announcing his decision to implement the amendments, which were first unveiled in June. "We are taking Pakistan from democratic dictatorship to elected democracy. I want to introduce a sustainable democratic order."
Critics claimed the 29 amendments were a blow to the very democracy that Musharraf promised to restore by holding elections Oct. 10 for the national parliament and provincial legislatures.

Election loser calls for recount
The Associated Press
Tyannosaurus Rexakeleton while on a dig in South Dakota.
GREAT BEND — A fossil hunter who sought a seat in the state Legislature is seeking a special election, alleging problems with a machine that scans ballots opened the door for possible tampering in the primary election.
Alan Detrich lost his primary bid for the 112th District to GOP incumbent Rep. John Edmonds of Great Bend by a margin of 2 to 1. Detrich, also of Great Bend, wrote to the attorney general and secretary of state Monday with concerns about how ballots were handled on election night.
Detritch attracted national attention in 1992 when he and his brother discovered a
"I have no evidence that any ballots were tampered with, but the fact that the ballot boxes were outside Barton County for approximately five hours in two separate vehicles with unknown occupants raises serious questions." Detrich wrote.
After the optical scanner failed to read some ballots, sealed ballot boxes were loaded into a private vehicle and a prisoner cargo van from the jail and taken to Saline County, the nearest location with the same equipment.
Election workers eventually discovered the problem was with a piece of electronic equipment created to read Barton County's ballots.

Graduate dies in plane crash
By Vonna Keomanyvong
Kansan staff writer
Col. Kevin McNeilis will remember Nathaniel Buckley for his signature Hawaiian shirts.
Buckley, a first lieutenant and graduate of the University of Kansas, died in a plane crash Aug. 7 during a routine military exercise in Puerto Rico. He was an electronic warfare officer there to defend the plane.
McNellis was adjunct professor of the ROTC program when Buckley was at the KU. He said Buckley's Hawaiian shirts made him personable.
"When you think of the military, you think of the uniforms we wear; but because Buckley always wore a Hawaiian shirt, he was not an automaton, but human," McNellis said. "Between Buckley's smile, his attitude and his shirts, he was just a genuine gentleman."
A memorial service will be held for Buckley at 3 p.m. Aug. 24 in his hometown of Minneola.
Buckley graduated from KU in 2000 and majored in communications.
He managed the rowing team as well as working on projects for ROTC. His senior year, Buckley organized a crew to clean Oak Grove Cemetery, west of Lawrence, for Buffalo Soldiers, a group of African-American soldiers from the late 1800s. He also held a 24-hour vigil for prisoners of war on Veterans Day.
McNellis said those actions made Buckley different from any other cadet he taught.
"We look for heroes, and sometimes it's right under our noses."
he said. "It's just that we are so busy that we don't notice."
Aaron Hedrick, Sparks, Nev. senior, remembers Buckley as his wing commander during Hedrick's freshman year. A wing commander is in charge of all cadets and is the highest position a student can receive in the program.
"There was always a certain degree of separation of people in the different ranks, but he was always willing to reach out to the freshmen and make sure you are part of the team." Hedrick said. "Not all of the seniors did that, but he did."
Lisa Baghal, Leavenworth senior, was also part of the ROTC program when Buckley was wing commander.
Buckley prevented her from 'quitting ROTC. She said she had been frustrated with an upper-classman and was about to quit, but Buckley asked her what was wrong.
"I wasn't exactly the most composed person in the world, but he listened and he took everything to heart," Baghal said. "He just reminded me that my goal was to be in the U.S. Air Force and to serve my country, and that it was just part of adjusting to the military lifestyle."
Nine other Air Force members died in the crash. The crew was part of the 16th Special Operations Wing from Hulburt Field in Florida.

Convocation draws freshmen crowd

University officials urged students to use their time at the University of Kansas to explore every option available to them during last night's Convocation speech.
Last night marked the University's 137th Opening Convocation, the official start of the academic year.
"An education is not a diploma that you receive, but a lifelong adventure that you experience," said Chancellor Robert Hemenway.
Hemenway called the University a "marketplace of ideas" with a 136-year history of broadening horizons and deepening knowledge.
"You bring new ideas,new

experiences and new energy to a community that asks you to challenge all the ideas before you," Hemenway said.
The program began with a ten minute video about the many aspects of KU and included clips of sporting events, classes, student life and KU traditions such as Holiday Vespers and walking down the hill.
David Shulenburger, provost and executive vice chancellor welcomed students to the University.
Shulenburger's speechemphasized the interdependency of teachers, staff and students in the learning community at the University of Kansas.
"Learn how to learn. Most of your learning comes outside of the classroom."

Jonathan Ng, student body president, geared his remarks toward new students. He offered tips to new students to help them make the most of their time at KU.

Academic Computing Services began a system upgrade more than two years ago that eventually will move all KU e-mail accounts from several old e-mail servers to Exchange 2000.
they use when they log in.
The Exchange 2000 software will provide users access to e-mail through a new version of an Outlook client, called Outlook Web Access.
Yesterday, ACS introduced a new Webmail homepage reflecting the changes to the server. Users no longer will have to remember which server, such as Jay or Hawk,
Jerree Catlin, associate director for ACS, said the upgrade had been taking place throughout the summer, but the most visible changes were already complete.
In addition to regular e-mail functions, Outlook Web Access offers features such as calendars and shared public folders which different student organizations and faculty groups can use, whereas Webmail is just limited to your e-mail.
for students as well.
The upgrade has been complicated, she said, because ACS staff is building a new hardware organization for the machines and the new server. The Exchange 2000 software would offer the biggest advantage for ACS in administration of mailboxes, but would provide benefits
But the transition has not been without questions, she said.
"I think Webmail's a lot easier to use. We get a lot of 'What is it doing?' around here," she said of lab users' transitions to Outlook.
Still, the move to the software system is nearing completion.
"We will start actually moving mailboxes probably next week." Catlin said. "People will be notified when their accounts are scheduled to be moved."
Users on the Jay server will be the first to move, she said.
All the server moves will take place in the evening, in order to prevent any outages to the students' accounts during the daytime.

Hawk Week fails to appeal to everyone Weeklong activities lack promotion upperclass involvemnt
It's a weeklong cluster of events put together by the University of Kansas to help students get involved and meet new people. Yet, it's mostly freshmen who attend Hawk Week festivities.
Maybe my disinterest stems from the fact that the activities offered — like having a personal class schedule tour — seem a little silly to non-freshmen. Maybe it's the idea that you've been toe traditions night you probably know all the traditions by now, and you won't need to return. Or maybe it's that Hawk Week is really just for freshmen.
Hawk Week Coordinator Curtis Sloan estimated that 12,000 people attended activities during the week. Sloan also estimatesdthat the majority of the 12,000 people who do attend Hawk Week were freshman.
If wider ranges of students are going to be involved in Hawk Week, more activities need to be offered that cater to their needs. For example, maybe some students would be much more interested in an activity that focused on the transition from graduation to the working world.
Another problem with Hawk Week is that it's poorly promoted. Although residence halls and scholarships halls have Hawk Week fliers hanging in them, other forms of housing don't.
Sloan says that the primary targets for promotion of Hawk Week were the residence and scholarship halls and greek houses.
There is a Hawk Week Web site, but how many students know about it? Sidewalks on campus are covered with chalk promoting the activities, but how many students spend much time on campus before classes start?
Because of the way Hawk Week is being publicized, it's mostly freshman who are attending the events.
So how do we improve Hawk Week? The most important step is for the coordinators of Hawk Week to receive feedback from students on the activities offered.
In previous years students have had no way to voice their opinions about Hawk Week, but this year is different. Sloan said the committee would be posting an online survey so students could voice their opinions. Students will receive an email following Hawk Week directing them to the link.
Second, it is important that the Hawk Week coordinators take more time to promote the upcoming events
Go to hawkweek.ku.edu and take your first step in getting involved by giving the committee something to work with.

PERSPECTIVE
Make a statement with your words, not with your clothing choices
Many young people today obviously suffer from a crisis of self-confidence. This becomes clear through their willingness to attempt to express themselves through their clothing.
MARKLYDA
No trip across campus can occur without seeing one of several shirts on students with short, smart-alecky comments that always fail to express a clear and cohesive thought and never fail to leave passersby confused.
For newcomers to the school, the campus played host last spring to a weeklong religious crusade done through bright red shirts pledging the wearer's allegiance to Lee Bickerstaff, who represented Jesus Christ in this cause.
I came upon such an example of this last week returning from buying books. A tall and slightly unconfident male walked by wearing a shirt that said "I Do All My Own Nude Scenes!".
The University saw a glaring example of how pitifully futile one becomes when trying to communicate oneself through clothing in the form of last year's mass of crimson "I Agree With Lee" shirts.
Unfortunately, no one can tell for sure what message he wants to convey. Does he want to state and have people believe that he works part-time starring in pornographic videos? Perhaps he might just be such an actor, or maybe he just wants to fool us.
COMMENTARY
He sure makes it hard to understand what he wants to say.
Mandy German for the editorial board.
COMMENTARY
Steve Vockrodt opinion@hansan.com
For the first half of the week, hardly a soul knew what these shirts meant, and by many of the responses given by those sporting the shirts, neither did those endorsing Lee.
One crusader told me his agreement with Lee meant his and anyone else's faith in Jesus was the only admission to heaven. What if someone did not agree with Lee? They went to hell, no exceptions.
As an atheist, this statement made me howl. Why not just have a shirt reading "I Agree With Intolerance To Other Ideas?" Furthermore, such a mediocre method of displaying their message succeeded only in confusing most people for the first half of that week.
Fortunately, an article in The University Daily Kansan about halfway through that week clarified Lee's followers do believe sceptics of their cause go straight to hell.
The "I Agree With Lee" movement succeeded
in proving one fact: articles in the Kansan allow people's viewpoints to be heard. Luckily, the Kansan provides many outlets for anyone to make use of the newspaper to express their ideas.
Editors welcome guest columns from anyone willing to submit their ideas on pertinent issues. Still fuming over the tuition issue? Sickened by all the construction on campus? Come by the Kansan newsroom in Stauffer-Flint Hall or send an email to an editor and the paper will gladly listen to what you have to say.
Similarly, letters to the editor accomplish the same purpose. Whether one might sing tunes of praise for the efforts of a reporter on a story or fume over the ideas of a columnist, take a few minutes of your time and send a letter our way. Make it good and most likely you will see it in the paper.
Expressing yourself in the Kansan guarantees your message will reach most of the student body. People will see your whole side of the issue instead of relying on vague quips on the front of a shirt. Interaction with the Kansan is welcomed no matter what you have to say, and unlike a shirt, it costs nothing.

New restaurants move into old locations
By Louise Stauffer
Kansan staff writer
A new library has opened downtown, but few patrons are studying there.
The Library Bar and Grill, 729 Massachusetts St., opened as one of the summer's two additions to Massachusetts Street. The other, Zen Zero, 811 Massachusetts St., opened Wednesday.
What used to be the Brown Bear Brewing Co. is still a bar, but making it The Library created some changes.
C. J. Rardin, The Library's general manager, said he and owner Shawn Schelegel had come up with the idea of the new name after eavesdropping on a cell
"We were in a bar and heard a girl talking to her parents on her cell phone and telling them she was at the library." Rardin said.
phone conversation.
Schelegel, who used to own a portion of Brown Bear, is now the sole owner of The Library.
He purchased it from multiple partners during the summer. Schelegel said he decided to
change the name and renovate it because of differences between him and his former partners.
Renovations, including a fresh coat of paint, a dance floor, brighter lights and more televisions came this summer. Most noticeably, the large vat in the front of the Brown Bear is gone.
Schelegeal said he hoped to begin serving food next week.
Just down the street, Zen Zero replaced the long-vacant space left by the restaurant Lotus.
livered the Subarna Bhattachan, Zen Zero co-owner, also co-owns the restaurant La Parilla, 814 Massachusetts St. Alejandro Lule is the other co-owner of both restaurants. Bhattachan said the name Zen Zero comes from the Thai word zenzero, which means ginger.
Roy Lopez, the assistant manager, described Zen Zero as an Asian noodle shop and restaurant influenced by recipes from Nepal, Thailand, Tibet, Vietnam and Japan.

Two new Kansas City, Kan. businesses attended the student employment job fair on Tuesday in the Kansas Union.
Representatives from the Kansas Speedway and Cabela's joined several employers accepting student applications at the annual back-to-school fair.
Kansas Speedway is looking for students to work in security, gate operations, ticket sales and guest services for events.
Delia Hernandez, administrative manager for the Speedway, said the positions were good options for students who want to work only on the weekends. Students can also look into more long-term work for the Speedway.
"We're not only looking for students to work during events, but students should know that
many internships are offered in the industry," Hernandez said.
Cabela's, which specializes in hunting, fishing and outdoor gear, opened a 188,000 square-foot retail store in Kansas City. Kan., on Aug. 15.
The store has 550 employees and management would like to hire about 80 more, said Matt Loughran, human resources assistant.
Despite numerous off-campus employment opportunities many students want or need campus jobs.
Students such as Jay Gordon, Lawrence senior, need or prefer work on campus.
"I don't want to have to drive anywhere," said Gordon, who applied for several jobs on campus.

Fate of Oread Houses debated

Kansan staff writer
Representatives of the Lawrence community and the University of Kansas debated Tuesday the fate of three houses condemned in a University of Kansas plan to build new scholarship halls.
The public hearing at the Douglas County Courthouse, called by Gov. Bill Graves, was a forum for arguments from the proponents and the opponents of the measure to tear down houses in the 1300 block of Ohio Street.
Representatives from the University of Kansas spoke in favor of the plan to demolish the buildings and rebuild scholarship halls in their place.
Jim Pottorff, university general counsel, said the houses have no registered historical status, are not currently livable and were originally gifts to the University from the Kansas University Endowment.
Representatives from several organizations and the Lawrence community provided other alternatives to the demolition of these houses.
The alternatives discussed included the restoration of the houses to become rental properties targeted at students.
Marcy Francisco, member of the Lawrence Preservation Alliance and the Oread Neighborhood Association, was one of the opponents of the University's plan to tear down the three houses.
Francisco said she thought the University had made errors when comparing the cost of renovation and rebuilding versus replacement of the houses.
"The University ignored a lot of costs associated with replacement they didn't factor in," she said. "And these factors add up
to a change in the bottom line."
After the University presented its argument for the demolition of the houses, opponents of the decision each presented other "feasible and prudent alternatives" in accordance with Kansas law.
The University said these locations were not possible sites for a new scholarship hall because of problems with parking, existing city utility service and historical significance of the buildings.
The University looked at locations near 14th and Louisiana streets, near the Wesley Building just east of the Kansas Union and on Stewart Avenue near 19th and Iowa streets.
Aaron Paden, treasurer of the student cooperative at 1614 Kentucky St., disagreed with the University and said turning the houses into student cooperatives was not only feasible but prudent. He presented that option to
the University last fall.
Paden also said the idea of student cooperatives was a strong part of the University's history.
"Before World War I there were a lot of co-ops in Lawrence. At that time, KU served as a model around the country for student cooperatives," he said.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said the renovation of the buildings was not possible or logical.
"The current cooperatives that exist don't even meet the codes. This option does not fit with the University's program and is not a viable plan," Stoner said.
Paden also said the University and the University of Kansas Student Housing Association could seek funding for co-ops from outside sources.

32nd Street favored for trafficway
By Lindsey Hodel
Kansan staff writer
In its newest transportation plan, the Lawrence/Douglas County Planning Commission wants to adopt the 32nd Street alignment for the completion of the South Lawrence Trafficway.
Bill Ahrens, transportation planner, presented the Transportation 2025 plan to members of the Lawrence community Monday night at the East Lawrence Recreation Center, 1245 E. 15th St.
About 20 Lawrence residents commented on the plan, which will replace Horizon 2020 as the guide to transportation development in Lawrence. The future of the South Lawrence Trafficway was one of the main issues discussed.
Ahrens said the commission considered two different courses for the completion of the highway, but the 32nd Street route was more attractive for relieving traffic. The alternative was a 42nd Street route south of Wakarusa
"We looked at many alternatives for alignments of the highway," he said, "and the 32nd Street route would be able to carry more traffic than the 42nd Street route to relieve congestion on 23rd and Sixth streets."
Ahrens presented a simulated future roadway map that adjusted for financial constraints. He said the 32nd Street route was more cost effective with the limited resources available.
River, which avoids the Haskell- Baker Wetlands.
Residents of Lawrence and surrounding areas questioned the decision to include the 32nd Street alignment as part of the Transportation 2025 plan because the final route for the South Lawrence Trafficway is undecided.
Anna Wilson, representative from the Wetlands Preservation Society, said the route for the trafficway was still undecided.
"The city planning commission does have a right to vote, but the plan should not include the 32nd Street alignment until the

decision to build there is final.
The decision is still resting on the completion of another environmental impact statement from the Corp of Engineers, so right now they have the final call," she said.
Jason Fizell, director of the Kaw Valley Heritage Alliance, said, "The document comes out in favor of the 32nd Street alignment, but this doesn't seem like the right place to be making such
a large decision. The planning commission brought in consultants from Ft. Collins, Colo., and they don't know what the local issues or impacts of this alignment are." he said.
Fizell said he was surprised that the proposed plan said the impact of the 32nd Street alignment would be "minimal." Controversy surrounds the issue of the unfinished portion of the South Lawrence Trafficway because the proposed highway would go through wetlands.
Members of the planning commission will decide whether to adopt the Transportation 2025 plan at their next meeting Aug. 28.
Ahrens said the city and county commissions will make the final decision because they decide how to pay for and implement projects.

sity-related information the phone number does now.
She could not elaborate on the project's specifics but did say the online incarnation could eliminate the hotline's ability to find personalized answers to almost any question.
the impetus for moving the service online was to better allocate the University's existing resources.
Hummert said because the University already provided
computers throughout campus and e-mail addresses for every student, it was only logical to move the service online.
Marilu Goodyear, vice provost for information services is the official in charge of the student portal project.
Although she isn't responsible for KU Info's possible shift to the Web, the portal project she oversees could provide the framework for KU Info online.
Goodyear said the University had set up a site that explains the portal concept.
The site, www.ku.edu/portal offers examples of other school's
Web portals.
"What's on there is not firm." Goodyear said. "It's just an example of what we're trying to do."
Goodyear said a mock-up of KU's portal should be up early this semester.
Hummert and Goodyear both said the shift was part of a University initiative to provide as much information as it could online and that budget cuts were not a factor in the decision.
KU Info began in 1970 as a rumor-control system. Susan Elkins, director of KU Info, said campus unrest lead the University to establish the hotline to

Voter registration drive to recruit students to vote in Douglas County
By Caleb Nothwehr
Kansan staff writer
Liz Monaghan lives in Lawrence nine months out of the year, but she is registered to vote in New Jersey.
"I do absentee ballot every time," she said. "I just find it easier to keen up with it at home."
This fall, Student Senate will try to change the Glen Gardner, N.I. senior's mind.
Coordinators of Senate's voter registration campaign are trying to register at least 5,000 University of Kansas students for November's state elections.
Johanna Maska, legislative director, said she had high expectations for this year's drive.
"We're hoping not one student goes by without knowing that the voter registration is going on,"
Maska said.
The Student Senate Legislative Awareness Board will act as the umbrella organization for the 2002 voter registration drive, involving other campus organizations such as College Republicans, Young Democrats, and KU Greens.
The groups will set up tables across campus and around town.
During the registration campaign two years ago, Senate fell short of its 5,000-votergoal, registering slightly more than 2,000 voters.
Senators face the challenge of convincing students who are registered in their home towns or states to register in Lawrence.
According to voting records from the Douglas County Clerk's office, 722 registered voters, out of 52,838 total registered in Douglas County, voted in the November 2000 election in the 10th precinct at Allen Fieldhouse, the only poll site on the
KU campus.
Douglas County Clerk Patty James said students might have trouble adjusting to Lawrence or Kansas politics.
"I realize some students feel close ties to home." James said. "Sometimes it's difficult to break those ties."
As tuition increases at the University, Maska said students should be particularly concerned with electing leadership to make decisions in students' interests.
interests. "We are facing an incredible budget situation," she said. "The people we elect are going to have to deal with that."
Ultimately, because students

ties to home. Sometimes it's difficult
to break those ties."
Patty James Douglas County Clerk
"It's probably more influential to register here."
spend a majority of their time in Lawrence, they may as well vote here. Maska said.
"You make Lawrence home for at least four years," Maska said.
Those interested in voter registration can attend the SLAB organizational meeting at 4 p.m. on Sept. 12 at the Kansas Union parliars.

Program eases move to college
HAWK Link helps students adjust to new life
By Katie Nelson
Kansan staff writer
Getting into the swing of college life is tough. But doing it alone is even tougher.
First-generation students, those who don't have a family member who went to college before them, might not have as many people to turn to for advice on the ins and outs of navigating a big university. Those students are who the Office of Multicultural Affairs' HAWK Link program hopes to help.
The university-funded program, which is 4 years old, is recruiting this week for new members. It sponsored a block party filled with hip-hop music and information tables on Strong
Hall's front lawn Tuesday night and Take Over the Beach Tuesday afternoon.
Yet the sticky 91-degree temperature didn't keep Shieley Waters, Little Rock, Ark., graduate student, from hiking up the hill for the event.
Waters came to campus to catch up with friends and take care of last minute enrollment changes.
She ended up with about 200 other students, collecting information on multicultural organizations from booths lining the steps of Wescoe Hall, cooling off by eating a popsicle handed out by the Asian American Student Union and watching Unity Hip-Hop Dance Troupe perform.
"We want students, especially new ones, to get connected with other offices, programs and campus organizations," said Natalie Lucas, program coordinator.
Zeta Phi Beta, a traditionally African-American sorority, was recruiting new members at Take Over the Beach all afternoon. The seven-member group displayed group photos and passed out fliers about an upcoming makeup and massage party.
"This is a good way to get our name out there," said Lawrence junior Dena Odom, pointing to a list of girls' names who requested information about the sorority.
"When students like me can't go home and ask their mom how things work, it's good to have that resource available." Lucas said.
HAWK Link's attempts to familiarize new students with the University of Kansas don't end with Hawk Week events.
The group points first-generation and minority students toward other campus programs for the assistance they need. It also offers tutoring, seminars and student mentors.
"We're offering an opportunity for kids to get involved," Lucas said. "We just hope they take us up on it."

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — A 24-year-old woman from western Missouri has tested positive for the West Nile virus, the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services said yesterday.
The case in Buchanan County is the state's first of a human infection outside the St. Louis area. So far, 10 people there have tested positive for the mosquito-borne virus.
"While this is a new development in Missouri's West Nile virus situation, it is not an unexpected one," said the health department's Howard Pue.
West Nile creeps closer, spreads west of St. Louis
"We're receiving reports of mosquitoes, birds, and horses testing positive for the virus from many parts of the state now," Pue said. "Therefore, it was only a matter of time before we received our first report of a Missouri resident testing positive for the West Nile virus in another part of the state."

Stovall backs Amber Alert
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Kansas plans to launch a statewide Amber Alert system on Oct.1,to become one of a dozen states with a method for locating and recovering abducted children.
A 30-member task force formed by Attorney General Carla Stovall has been meeting since March to get the program operating. It is a partnership between the attorney general, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, Kansas Highway Patrol, local law enforcement and the Kansas Association of Broadcasters.
Stovall said Kansas had been working on the system long before a spate of child abductions gained national media attention during the summer.
She cited the recent successful rescue of two California teenagers as proof that the system works.
"There's no question we have a lot media attention," Stovall said.
"Partnering with the media makes our job a lot easier."
Under the system, alerts will be broadcast much like severe weather alerts, using the Emergency Alert System that is activated when a tornado or other severe storm in imminent.
The decision to activate the alert will be made when authorities determine that a missing child has met the criteria established by the 30-member task force.
Amber Alert systems are already being used in Wichita, Topeka and the Kansas City metropolitan areas. Training for the statewide program will begin Sept. 6.
A series of news conferences is scheduled statewide on Oct. 1 to publicize the system.

Pension fund in peril for Kansas employees
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — The long-term health of the pension fund for state government workers and public school employees is in jeopardy, legislators were told Wednesday.
Officials from the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System said the state was not contributing enough money to KPERS to fully finance all benefits due retirees and current participants over the next 30 years.
A report from KPERS to the Joint Committee on Pensions. Investments and Benefits said it would cost $101.2 million to bring the state's contribution to
KPERS up in one year to where it needs to be to preserve the retirement system's long-term financial health.
It would then take an additional $33 million the following year, with annual increases of varying sizes after that.
KPERS officials stressed that retirees are not in danger of seeing their existing benefits reduced for years.
The issue is making sure the pension fund has enough money in the future.
The gap between what the pension system needs to raise over the next 30 years and what it would expect to raise under current Kansas law is about $1.8 billion.
In 2001, state and local governments contributed about $206 million to the pension system, most of it for the retirement plan for state and school employees.
The state's contribution is equal to 4.38 percent of its payroll.
Under a 1993 law, the state's contribution was to increase up to 0.2 percentage points per year until it was high enough to guarantee the fund's long-term health.
But KPERS officials told the committee that the contribution should have been increasing more.

Enron executive admits crimes, implicates others
The Associated Press
HOUSTON — A former Enron Corp. executive acknowledged Wednesday that he raked in millions of dollars in a corporate shell game that also involved his high-ranking boss.
Michael Kopper's admission came as he pleaded guilty to money laudering and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. He is the first Enron executive to admit to crimes since the company dissolved last year.
Kopper was the managing director of Enron Global Finance under former chief financial officer Andrew Fastow. He told the judge he ran or helped create partnerships that earned him and others millions
while hiding debt and inflating profits at Enron.
"We think this is a substantial breakthrough in our investigation," said Leslie Caldwell, head of a nationwide task force of federal prosecutors probing the company's collapse. "His knowledge will become our knowledge."
Kopper apologized to those hurt when Enron went bankrupt in late 2001. He agreed to cooperate with investigators and surrender $12 million he gained illegally from Enron partnerships to the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Caldwell said the money will go back to Enron shareholders.
He could be sentenced to 15 years in prison and fined up to double the amount determined to have been fraudulently gained.
His testimony against others at Enron could earn him leniency when he is sentenced on April 4, 2003.
Kopper was at the crux of at least three partnerships that conducted complicated business deals with Enron.
The partnerships were portrayed to investors and U.S. regulators as outside entities but secretly had too-close ties to Enron.
Kopper admitted funneling money to Fastow.
High cost predicted for drug
The Associated Press
NEW YORK - A new, experimental drug is raising hopes for AIDS sufferers with strains of the virus that are resistant to existing treatments, but the complex manufacturing process is expected to mean high prices and limited quantities.
Dubbed Fuzen by its developers, Roche Group and Trimeris Inc., the drug won a priority, six-month review from the Food and Drug Administration.
The companies hope to be approved and on the market next spring.
The drug is the first in a class
known as fusion inhibitors, which are designed to block HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, from entering blood cells. It acts on the third stage of that entry process, known as fusion.
It is expected to prolong the lives of patients with drug-resistant strains.
"Everyone is so pleased about the drug itself," said Martin Delaney, founding director of Project Inform, an advocacy organization. "It is such a significant development. But we are terribly apprehensive about the cost."
Roche, based in Switzerland, and Trimeris, of Durham, N.C..
won't discuss pricing details until the drug is approved, but say Fuzeon is complicated to produce and will be expensive. Experts predict a cost of between $10,000 and $15,000 a year per patient.
The most expensive AIDS drugs now available cost about $7,500 a year, although some combination treatments approach $15,000 in annual costs.
Fuzeon's cost should be kept in perspective, said Dr. James Thommes, the drug's medical director at Roche, saying that it keeps people from expensive hospital stays and prolongs their lives.

Korean War bodies found
The Associated Press
TOKYO — Remains recently unearthed in North Korea and believed to be those of seven American soldiers missing in action from the Korea War were repatriated Tuesday to the moan of bagpipes and the crack of a 21-gun salute.
A bugler blew taps as the caskets, draped in powder blue United Nations flags, were carried by full-dress military honor guards under a full moon and into a hangar at Yokota Air Base on the outskirts of Tokyo.
A U.S. Air Force cargo plane picked up the remains in Pyongyung earlier in the day. On Wednesday, they are scheduled to be flown to the U.S. Army's Central Identification Laboratory in Hawaii for forensic examination;
"They will try to determine who these people were." Yokota's Captain Michael Braibish said after Tuesday's memorial ceremony.
The recoveries were made in the first of three searches scheduled this year in North Korea by
"They will try to determine who these people were."

U. S. teams with help from the North Korean army.The second search is scheduled to start Aug. 24 and end one month later. The final search will be in October.
The remains were first flown to Yokota Air Base because it was a staging point for the U.N. forces that backed South Korea during the 1950-53 Korean War.
Flags of the nations that sent troops, including Turkey, Thailand and Great Britain, flanked the caskets at Tuesday's hangar ceremony.
A group of U.S. veterans presented a funeral wreath.
Tom Schneider, commander of the UN Command Rear based in Japan, said their return would bring "a little bit of closure to those families" that lost loved ones.
More than 8,100 U.S. troops
remain unaccounted for from the Korean War. Since 1996, searches by U.S. teams have recovered 159 sets of remains in North Korea, of which 13 have been identified positively.
Six of the seven new sets were recovered near the Chosin Reservoir. The area was the scene of fierce battles in November and December 1950, when the 1st Marine Division was overwhelmed by a surprise Chinese army assault and was forced to withdraw under fire. Elements of the Army's 7th Infantry Division also fought there.
Pentagon officials have estimated that the Chosin area eventually could yield about 1,000 remains of American servicemen.
The seventh set of remains was recovered along the Chongchon River near the junction of Unsan and Kujang counties, about 60 miles north of Pyongyang. The area was the site of battles between the U.S. Army's 1st Cavalry and 25th Infantry Division and Chinese forces in November 1950.

Afghan officials suspect war crimes
KABUL, Afghanistan — The Afghan Cabinet decided Wednesday to investigate the alleged suffocation of hundreds of captive Taliban in sealed cargo containers toward the end of last year's war.
THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 2002
President Hamid Karzai's government made the commitment despite the expressed skepticism of the powerful defense minister, Mohammed Fahim, about what he called a "rumor" of a mass grave of prisoners.
In announcing the decision, however, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said no specific orders were issued immediately to organize an investigation.
The latest eyewitnesses accounts of the prisoner deaths appeared in an article Sunday in the U.S. newsmagazine Newsweek, which cited a confidential U.N. investigative report in which a witness said 960 men were killed in this way.
The first such news reports emerged late last year, when surviving prisoners and humanitarian organizations said Taliban fighters captured in the surrender of the northern city of Kunduz last November had been jammed into unventilated metal shipping containers to be trucked to a prison 200 miles away at Shibergan.
An Associated Press report last February quoted a driver of one of the vehicles as reporting that trapped prisoners banged on his truck container's inner walls and begged desperately for air and water, and that some, at least, were dead when the truck arrived at the prison.

Soccer co-captains lead differently
By Nikki Overfelt
Kansan sportswriter
Although they have three different ways of leading, Lindsay Hunting, Brianna Valento and Nikki Wahle are the co-captains who Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis will rely on to lead the team in its quest to return to the NCAA tournament.
Francis said Hunting's actions in the mid- field spoke louder than words.
"Hunts is a little more quiet. She's not as vocal as Brize and Nikki, but she leads more by example," he said. "She's not going to yell at you, but she demands you maintain a certain level."
John Nowak/Kansan
Hunting agrees.
"She is very physically hard. She knocks people around." Francis said. "I think the other kids respect that she is willing to sacrifice and get in there. They are glad she is on their team."
While Hunting is quiet, Valento uses her physical play to guide her teammates.

Francis also said once Valento, a returning starter at defender, sets her mind on something she does whatever she needs to do to accomplish it, and that this passion is another way she leads on the field.
"She is one of the most intense, if not the most," he said. "She hates to lose. She always demands high levels all the time from other people as well as herself."
Valento said she wants to lead by communicating with her teammates and by making sure they understand what their roles are.
Also a returning starter and a leader in the back, Wable especially sees herself helping
Brie Valento, St. Paul, Minn., junior, Nikki Wahel, Overland Park senior, and Lindsay Hunting, Ontario, Canada junior comprise the trio of captains for this year's women's soccer team. The Jayhawks are hoping to beat last year's record-setting season beginning with an exhibition game against Southwest Missouri State on Saturday.

Tim Childers from Malls Barber Shop and Andy Phelan from Emerson Biggins gave their predictions for the coming football season. Barbers and Bartenders are often discussing the coming sports season while they
Men behind stools split on pigskin picks
Kansan sportswriter
By Doyle Murphy
Barbers and bartenders have debated sports for almost as long as athletes have played them, so it should be no surprise that they have a few opinions about the upcoming football season.
Opinions were split, but if Bobby Kasper, a bartender at Molly McGee's, is correct, Kansas Coach Mark Mangino is heading for a successful first season. He predicts the Jayhawks will finish 7-4.
"I'm going optimistic," Kasper said.
Jeff Brown of Malls Barber Shop does not share Kasper's bright outlook.
"If we finish .500 it will be a great season." Brown said.
He also said Big 12 champion Colorado will make it two in a row for the Buffaloes over Texas.
If they did not agree on records or Big 12 champions, bartenders and barbers alike were optimistic about Mangino. Most said they think Kansas will be invited to a post-season bowl in the next five years.
"Mack Brown (Texas Coach) will find a waver not in win again." Brown said.
Tim Childers, a barber at Malls Barber Shop, said not much can be expected of a first-year coach, but he said Mangino will instill the fundamentals necessary for a solid program.
Childers, who recently moved to Lawrence, said he learned much of what he knows about Kansas football from former Kansas player, assistant coach and coach Don Fambrough. Childers said Fambrough is a regular in the shop.
"We will see basic football, competitive football." Childers said.
new to many of the barbers and bartenders questioned.
Mike Dinkel, a bartender at Old Chicago, said it was common to see the Jayhawks in Old Chicago. Former coach Terry Allen often held pizza parties for recruits in a back room. Dinkel said Mangino was not a regular, but he made a big impression when he visited.
"I've seen Mangino in here once." Dinkel said. "Bja appetite."

Two players compete for starting setter spot
Bv Jason Hwang
Kansan Sportswriter
The Kansas volleyball squad returns an experienced team, losing only one starter to graduation. The departed senior was setter Molly LaMere.
Coach Ray Bechard said the setter's role is crucial to the team's success and is pleased to see both players' strong work ethic during the workouts.
Ashley Bechard, sophomore, and Andi Rozum, freshman, are competing for the vacated position.
"That is a position that is vital to the team," Bechard said. "These two have been working hard in the two-a-day practices, going through special sessions everyday. We'll see some very good things in that position."
Jamie Morningstar, senior defensive specialist, said LaMere was crucial to the team
and would be dearly missed.
"Molly meant everything to us. She was an outstanding setter and friend," Morningstar said. "She pushed everyone on the team. She worked really hard and set a great example to everyone."
"I can't replace Molly. No one can. It's impossible." Bechard said. "But hopefully I can set some of the traits that I saw in her for a year and carry them over to this year's team."
Morningstar said LaMere not only impacted their success on the volleyball court, but also their own lives.
Ashley Bechard has one more year of collegiate experience than teammate Rozum but played in only five games last season. Bechard said the workouts last spring and summer as the only setter on the team would help her out
Ashley Beachard said while she could not completely replace LaMere, she hoped to carry her volleyball attributes onto the court.
Rozum is one of two freshmen joining the squad. Coach Bechard said Rozum's playing time with her club team had helped her substantially in her transition from high school to playing in the Big 12, one of the toughest volleyball conferences in the nation.
this season.
Rozum said she welcomed the competition for the setter's role, which would keep the quality of the setter's position intact.
"I'm excited to have the competition." Rozum said. "We've been working together and pushing each other more, which helps the team."
Rozum said her teammates have encouraged her a lot since the first fall practice and she has not had any moments of discouragement.
Despite the competition, both Rozum and Bechard have been supportive of one another.
"The competition has been really friendly." Rozm said. "She has taught me new things
that others have taught her in the past. Whatever helps the team is all right by me."
"Andi is a great teammate. So we are help ing each other a lot," Bechard said. "Whoever gets the spot, we'll support each other."
Rozum, Ashley Beehard and the rest of the Kansas volleyball squad will get a chance to showcase their skills in the Crimson and Blue Scrimmage this Saturday, Aug.24.
Coach Bechard said that both will have equal opportunity to play in the Crimson and Blue Scrimpage and the opener against Creighton to see who best fills the role of starting setter.
"Early on, each setter needs an opportunity." Bechard said. "I would expect that both get to play. Eventually one will win the starting role."

COMMENTARY
Levi Chronister
SlamBall: the sport that won't ever exist
SlamBall is a joke.
I also know because I sat through 30 minutes of the glorified slam dunk contest Saturday night, watching Janisse and his Rumble squad top the Mob.
How do I know? Any so-called sport which makes former men's basketball player Jelani Janisse into "The Intimidator" is, by definition, lacking in the qualities which require respect from rational people.
For those of you fortunate enough not to have seen this pathetic excuse for a sport, SlamBall is a four-on-four contest combining various sports, mainly basketball and hockey, with a few trampolines mixed in for TV ratings — I mean fun.
The positions are different from regular basketball as well. Each team has a handler (point guard), two gunners (shooting guards or power forwards) and a stopper (center).
Along with high-flying antics that seemed very derivative of many NBA mascots' halftime shows, SlamBall features full-contact play. Well, it does underneath the basket, at least, as each team's stopper is allowed to manhandle anyone who attempts a dunk.
The game is also supposed to feature body checks on players bringing the ball up the court. In my half an hour of viewing, though, I saw just one hit on a ball handler. If you have a rule allowing checking — a rule that is supposed to be a major selling point to potential fans — wouldn't you take advantage of it?
It is this type of physical play that earned Janisse his new moniker from his teammates, according to an interview a couple weeks ago on 1320 AM's Rock Chalk Sports Talk.
The former backup for Ryan Robertson and Jeff Boschee is 6-foot-3, 220 pounds, according to the official SlamBall web site. That is 20 pounds heavier than his playing days at Kansas.
Janisse may be the heaviest handler in the six-team league, but someone just an inch shorter and 20 pounds heavier than Marlon London shouldn't intimidate many athletes.
Janisse isn't the only one on a high horse about this farce. Rumble coach Ken Carter, who once locked his undefeated Richmond (Calif.) High School basketball team out of the gym because of poor grades, told his team at halftime, "God is a SlamBall fan and he loves the Rumble."
Actually, coach Carter, I'm pretty sure God thinks SlamBall is an abomination and the fourth sign of the apocalypse.
You'd think someone with the high morals Carter has shown in the past would know better than to get involved in Slam-Ball, let alone claim that the Almighty One cared about who won or lost. I guess it just goes to show the power of the almighty dollar.
Speaking of selling out, the color commentator on TNN's broadcasts is Reggie Theus, who spent 13 years in the NBA and was a two-time All-Star.
Apparently money is stronger than loyalty, however, as early in the game Theus said SlamBall was "harder than regular basketball.
The man is getting paid to hype the game, but come on. You'd hope he would have a bit more respect for his former employer.
Theus wasn't done, though. After a meaningless Mob dunk at the end of the game. Theus said "that sends a message for the future." SlamBall has a future? God help us all if that's true.

Utah seniors play in Canada with Kansas' Keith Langford
SALT LAKE CITY - Utah men's basketball seniors Britton Johnsen and Tim Frost were selected to take a summer vacation to Canada to play for the NIT All-Stars late last month.
By Rory Brunner
The Daily Utah Chronicle via U-Wire
The University of Utah
The two were a part of a unit that toured Canada for six games against club and national teams. The NIT All-Stars were winners in five of the contests.
He was in double figures in scoring three times during the tour.
Johnsen averaged 8.5 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game.
Frost, a Portland transfer who sat out last season due to NCAA eligibility rules, put up 5.7 points and
4. 8 rebounds per game and shot 75 percent from the free-throw stripe. The 6-foot-10 center scored 14 points and added 12 rebounds in the team's final game.
The two played along side the Big East Conference co-Player of the Year, Pittsburgh guard Brandin Knight.
The team was coached by George Bucci, the coach who led the New Jersey Nets to the 1976 ABA Championship.
Also starring on the team were Kansas' Keith Langford, St John's Marcus Hatten, South Carolina's Rolando Howell and South Florida's Will McDonald, among others. However, Frost and Johnson were the only teammates selected to the NIT All-Star roster.
Garden City transfer brings hope to Alabama football
By Magen Hughes
The Crimson White via U Wre
The University of Alabama
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Although it may not be that easy for Alabama to replace last season's leading tackler, there is a new face who hopes to continue delivering the same style of opponent-crushing blows current NFL rookie Saleem Rasheed doled out last year, and his name is Derrick Pope.
Pope is a junior college transfer from Garden City Community College [Kansas] and has had a long road to Tuscaloosa, but he says he's ready.
"I love pressure." Pope said. "That's what makes me perform. If this was going to be handed to me, I probably wouldn't work as hard as I am working now."
Pope, the nephew of assistant head coach Kenith Pope, had never played linebacker in high school. Pope originally committed to Michigan, changed his mind and wanted to play for TCU but did not have the grades. The TCU coaching staff (including his uncle and current Alabama head coach Dennis Franchione, who were coaching there at the time) suggested attending Garden City to get his grades up, but by the time he had enrolled, Alabama was facing serious NCAA infractions.
Pope eventually decided to follow his uncle Kenith, Franchione and his Garden City teammate Ahmad Childress to Alabama. In fact, it wasn't until his two year stint at Garden City that the linebacker position ever crossed his mind. But the move was beneficial, to his team and himself. Last season he logged 105 tackles and seven sacks and earned first-team junior college All-American accolades.
"The last [presseason] practice, I had to make some plays to make the team, and I hit three fullbacks and gave all three of them concussions." Pope said. "It's natural now. I've forgotten about running back. I'm
trving to better myself at linebacker.
"The reason I help them up is so they know who hit them."
While Pope's abilities have not gone unnoticed by players or coaches, phenom freshman Freddie Roach was temporarily slotted as Rasheed's replacement and has not given up his spot yet to the juco transfer.
Roach and Pope engage in friendly competition on and off the field as teammates as well as roommates.
"It was great living together." Roach said. "We joked around a lot and for the most part we were really tired. It's not competition to me. I look at it as both of us getting better and the team getting better."
Junior rover Brooks Daniels and junior strong side linebacker Cornelius Wortham are returning veterans ready to take the field and fill the gaping hole in the defense that Rasheed left behind when he moved on to the San Francisco 49ers.
"Cornelius Wortham and Brooks Daniels are back," Franchione said. "Brooks Daniels is on track to break the Alabama all-time tackle record. The question everyone wants to know is who is going to replace Saleem. Freddie Roach is first in line to do that. Derrick Pope is another guy we have high hopes for. So I think we have a pretty solid chance to be good right there."
Another newcomer who may be able to add relief to the linebacker position is freshman rover Mark Anderson from Tulsa. Anderson played on both sides of the ball in high school, and had five tackles and one broken-up pass in last week's scrimmage.
But the coaching staff is reluctant to replace Roach as the intended starter.
"Freddie is very comfortable at his position." Franchione said. "Derrick is slowly getting more comfortable in his. I think he has done very well so far. But Freddie is there. Mark Anderson is also playing very well, along with DeMeco Ryans and Jason Rawls."

Donor gives $1 million to Washburn stadium project
TOPEKA — An anonymous donor has given $1 million to help build a new football stadium at Washburn University, president Jerry Farley said.
The donation brings the stadium's fund-raising campaign close enough to its goal to proceed with the work, Parley announced Sunday at the annual Ichabod Club kickoff.
Farley declined to say anything more about the donor, except that the money came from an individual, not a corporation.
The new stadium is expected to cost $4.35 million. The Washburn Board of Regents is expected to approve a bid for construction at its September meeting. Construction would then begin after the leachbods' last home game on Nov. 2 and be ready for the start of the 2005 football season.
Farley said the donor will be allowed to make a recommendation for a name for the stadium, but the name will be selected by the regents.
The campaign also received a $500,000 gift last year from Bernie Bianchino, an Overland Park businessman who played football at Washburn. The university will put up another $2 million.
The most noticeable feature of the new stadium will be a three-story structure on the west side. The top floor will house a media box, with eight suites on the middle floor and a concourse with theater seating on the lower level.
The fund-raising campaign hopes to ultimately raise $6 million, with some money going to improve other athletic programs at the school.
The current stadium was built in 1928 and has had only minor renovations since then.
Fort Hays football players fall ill
HAYS — An unidentified illness has sent three Fort Hays State football players to the hospital and sickened 19 of their teammates and two coaches.
The players began to suffer from flulike symptoms last weekend. The sick players are receiving medical treatment, and the entire football team is under close medical supervision.
All three hospitalized players were listed in fair condition Wednesday; said Dr. Randw Cook of Hays Medical Center.
He said the hospitalized athletes were being treated for a non-typical form of pneumonia. The cause of the pneumonia was not yet known.

Chiefs consider new camp locale; weather, lack of teams are factors
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A brand new competition has erupted among Southwest Missouri State, Missouri Western and Central Missouri State universities.
The Chiefs also have an option to renew their agreement for one more year at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, where they have trained the past 12 years.
All three are vying to play host to the Kansas City Chiefs' training camp.
"My thoughts are I'm leaning toward going back to River Falls," Chiefs president Carl Peterson said. "But three Missouri colleges have asked that we come and look at their facilities this fall, which I'm going to do. I know they're nice facilities and they're doing everything they could to get us there. The only thing they can't promise us is weather."
The Chiefs moved their camp out of William Jewell College in Liberty, Mo., in 1990 to escape the oppressive heat and humidity of summertime in Missouri.
Since moving to the North Woods, heat has never been a problem.
"If we would have trained this year in Missouri we would have probably had to cancel 4 to 5 practices based on two weeks of 100-degree weather plus humidity." Peterson said. "But we got in every practice in the 23 days we were in training camp in River Falls. That's a major plus. The other plus is we have a team we can work against, the Vikings."
One drawback to practicing in Missouri is that no other NFL team practices nearby.
"I don't know that I could get any NFL team to come to the state of Missouri to practice against us. I don't know whatever school could promise us that either," Peterson said. "I have not made a firm
decision. I will probably by late fall."
KC
declined even though several other NFL teams no longer have their camps there.
"We don't have as many teams to work with but we still have and will always have the Vikings," he said. "And here we have no one. What we would have to do here is either pay a team to come, and I don't now if they would, or pay to travel to their training camp. And once again, the competitiveness is very important to me and has been since we made the decision 12 years ago to go to River Falls."
Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil has said he
would like to move out of River Falls and return to Missouri so fans could attend practices.
"I know how Dick feels. But I have a little different feeling in that I think it's good when a team and a coaching staff and an organization gets away from the home environments for only 23 concentrated days." Peterson said.
days. "You don't have to worry about the players going home at night, their kids, their families. It brings the team together and focuses on what we're trying to do. I thought this year's training camp was one of the best in the 12 years we've been at River Falls. And I think Dick would agree. We didn't miss a day of practice."
Peterson said he told the presidents of each of the three universities that he would visit their campuses and listen to what they had to offer.
Kansas City's Ibanez enjoying career year
The Associated Press
TORONTO—Raul Ibanez is enjoying a career year as an everyday player.
career year as an olympian. Ibanez, a part-timer in his first four seasons in the majors, hit a three-run homer in the 12th inning as the Kansas City Royals held on for a 6-5 win over the Blue Jays on Tuesday night.
The 30-year-old left-fielder, who began his career in Seattle, has 84 RBIs and 21 home runs.
"I've been pleasantly surprised," Kansas City manager Tony Pena said. "The kid never had the opportunity to play on a regular basis, and this year we've given him the opportunity and he's taken advantage of every single opportunity we've given and he just keeps coming.
"A lot of people think that it's a fluke, but Ibanez has had some great years in the minor
leagues in the past. He's always been able to hit "
With the game on the line, Pena wanted Ibanez to hit.
In the top of the 12th, Aaron Guiel walked and advanced to second on Michael Tucker's sacrifice. Scott Cassidy (0-2) then intentionally walked Mike Sweeney, who is hitting an AL leading, 349, before Ibanez hit a 3-2 pitch for his homer.
Pena said he knew that by having Tucker sacrifice the Blue Jays would walk Sweeney to face ibanez.
"Raul has been of the best clutch hitters that we've had this year." Pena said.
Ibanez homered off SkyDome's Windows restaurant beyond the center-field wall to put the Royals up 6-3.
"Tony has thrown me out there and believed in me. I'm happy that I've been able to do some things for him," ibanez
R Royala
said.
Kansas City closer Roberto Hernandez nearly gave it all back.
Josh Phelps led off the bottom half with a single. After an out, Orlando Hudson singled off the glove of baseman Luis Alicea
and Dave Berg singled to left to load the bases. Pedro Swan followed with an RBI grounder to first and Ken Huckaby added a run-scoring single to right to make it 6-5
Hernandez then got Shannon Stewart to pop up to first baseman Sweeney with runners on first and second for his 22nd save.
"Like Yogi said 'The game is not over until you make 27 outs.' Today was not 27, today was 33." Pena said.
The Blue Jays had 16 hits - all single
"We had some chances there. We just couldn't get the hit at the right time," Toronto manager Carlos Tosca said.
Jeremy Affeldt (2-4) pitched 1 1-3 innings for the win.
Kit Pellow hit his first major league home run for the Royals in the second to tie it 1-all.
Phelps gave Toronto a 1-0 lead in the first with an RBI single off Kansas City starter Miguel Asencio.
Tucker hit an RBI single in the third, but the Blue Jays scored two runs in the fourth on Vernon Wells' RBI single and Berg's run-scoring single.
Toronto starter Justin Miller walked Neifi Perez and Luis Ordaz to lead off the fifth before Tucker hit a sacrifice fly, twine it at 3
Mark Hendrickson relieved with runners on first and second and got Ibanez to fly out to deep left.

the new players get adjusted to their positions and encouraging them during this process.
Francis also said that Wahle had improved in the off-season.
"She improved her technical skills on the ball," he said. "She's a lot more tactically aware in the position that she plays of what her responsibilities are and you match that with her physical speed and she's tough to beat."
Hunting also said that she wants to lead by encouraging the younger players and motivating them to put in 100 percent when they see her doing the same.
"She always works very,very hard," he said. "You never ever question her work ethic.As a captain,she leads by example of that."
Francis has been impressed by the improvement he has seen in Hunting thus far this season. He has especially been impressed by how fit she is and how productive she has been so far.

Students run on campus in the Red Dog Days program, one option available to athletes to work on their conditioning over the summer.
Athletes use summer for training
By Jonah Ballow
Kansan sportswriter
While some students spent their summer relaxing and enjoying time away from school, student-athletes at the University of Kansas used their summers to develop skills and strength that will propel them through a rigorous season.
Distance runner Paige Higgins, who is starting her third season with the track team, made an effort to get in shape for the season.
"I tried to concentrate on endurance training," said Higgins, "so by the season I would feel really fresh and ready to get started."
The junior changed her routine in order to not overtrain.
"This summer I was a lot smarter." Higgins said "I took two weeks off then ran two or
three miles and worked up to eight miles. I then concentrated on weights which gave me a good balance for my workouts."
Sophomore Chris Jones split away from the cross country team to train with his high school team—a decision he now regrets.
"I thought I did a good job of staying healthy by getting necessary rest," said Jones, who returned to his hometown of Iowa City, Iowa. "I do think that it was a disadvantage to go home and not train with the team. I will definitely stay in Lawrence for the following summers so I can workout with the team to get solid competition."
While the cross-country and track athletes focused on running and endurance, others worked on strength training to improve themselves.
Senior golfer Chris Marshall worked with a trainer to build a stronger lower back and lower
"It's a must to weight train," Marshall said. "Because if I play tournaments and walk 36 holes I better be in top shape."
body.
However, the honorable mention All-American last season had to take the last part of the summer to have surgery on his abdomen.
The routine procedure suffered a serious setback and doctors had to keep Marshall breathing for three hours until they could get oxygen back into his lungs.
"I feel a little weak right now but I should be able to return to practice and gain my strength back." Marshall said.
Another student-athlete took a different route to get ready for the upcoming season.
Junior left fielder Ryan Baty played with the semi-professional Wichita Braves baseball team.
"We play year-round so I'm able to gain my conditioning through
playing 69 games in 72 days," he said. "I'm new to the outfield and this was a chance for me to get experience at the position."
These student-athletes have their own workout regiments but other athletes in Lawrence have found a local summer conditioning program.
Former Marine, police officer and football coach Don "Red Dog" Gardner started a program in 1984 called "Red Dog Days."
Gardner provides three sessions a day that include running around Memorial Stadium's track and stairs.
The program — which is free although accepts donations for cancer research — continues to attract popularity across Lawrence.

Softball, rowing squads to hold try-out meetings
By Jeremy Krashin
Kensan sportwriter
For most University of Kansas students, dreams of getting a scholarship to a Division I school and being a Lynette Woodard-like superstar did not come true.
But those dreams don't have to be completely shattered.
The Kansas softball and rowing teams will hold mandatory meetings for all KU women who would like to participate in the teams' walk-on tryouts.
The softball team will hold its meeting at 6 p.m. today at the at Dolph Simons room in the Wagnon Student Athletic Center, adjacent to Allen Fieldhouse.
Tryouts are tentatively scheduled for 6 p.m. August 28 to 30 at the Jayhawk Field, behind Hoglund Ballpark.
"We are looking for girls with a good work ethic, who are athletic and with a background in softball," assistant softball coach Aaron Clopton said. "They don't have to be polished softball players."
Clopton said girls who tried to walk-on to the team typically knew they would not be the stars of the team. But there have been two or three players who had a major impact on the team after starting out as a walk-on, he said.
The rowing team will hold its meeting at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, August 28 at Hadl Auditorium in the Wagnon Student Athletic Center. The tryouts will be held during the first two weeks of September.
Abby Rosdahl, assistant rowing coach, said they do not have a specific number of spots to fill because the number of walk-ons fluctuates from year to year.
There have been occasions in rowing when a girl who has never rowed before will walk-on and end up being a great rower, Rosdahl said.
"We may have a phenomenal walk-on who can jump straight to varsity." Rosdahl said.

Eight returning softball players critical to team's success
It's always tough on a college team when it loses seniors to graduation — especially when it loses eight of them.
"We've obviously lost a great deal of talent," Bunge said, "but we feel like we have some returning players who can step in."
But that's exactly what Kansas softball coach Tracy Bunge has had to deal with.
Probably the biggest gap to fill will be the one left by Musser, who was named a third-team All-American by the National Fast Pitch Coaches' Association last year, the first Jayhawk to earn All-
Absent from last year's 33-25 team (7-11 in conference play) are centerfielder Shelly Musser, second baseman Amy Hulse, shortstop Courtney Wright, third baseman Megan Urquhart, catcher Katie Campbell, catcher/outfielder Leah Tabb and pitcher Kelly Campbell.
Quite a departure, indeed.
American merit since 1994. Musser also nabbed a spot on the All-Big 12 first team. Tabb earned a spot on the second team All-Big 12 squad.
Bunge said only eight players remain from last year's squad and it is up to these eight players to lead the team into the season.
"All the returning players we have will be critical to the team's success," she said. "How far we go in the year depends on the quality of leadership the eight players will provide for us. These eight people will field different roles. It's going to be important for this group to instill the work effort of this team. I have full confidence that they will lead this team in the right direction."
Especially pertinent to the team's mission of going in the "right direction" is the pitching staff, consisting of an experienced rotation of sophomore Serena Settlemier, junior Kara Pierce
"We've obviously lost a great deal of talent,but we feel like we have some returning players who can step in."
Tracy Bunge Kansas softball coach
and senior Kirsten Milhoan.
Coming to the aid of the depleted rosters are Mt. San Antonio College transfer junior outfielder Sylvia Pfeiffer and seven freshmen: infielder Annette Fierros; outfieldler Heather Stanley; catcher Melaney Torres; third baseman/outfielder Ashley Goodrich; infielder Destiny Frankenstein; outfielder Ashley Frazer; and infielder Jessica Moppin.
Bunge said all of the fresh faces have a chance at considerable playing time given the fact that
last season's lineup contained so many seniors.
"Each of them can play a vital role," Bunge said. "When you have six starters graduate you have a lot of open positions out there."
The team found themselves in sixth place at the conclusion of last year.
With a solid nucleus of returnees and what should be reliable pitching. Bunge believes her squad has the ability to turn several heads when Big 12 Conference play comes around by finishing in the top half of the conference and possibly taking home the regional title.
"The kind of players we have coming in and the players we already have are committed to taking this program to the next level." Bunge said. "The talent is there. Whether we have a young team or not, I think that it's a realistic goal."

MADHURA
Maryland to open against Harlem Globetrotters
From Staff Reports
The Diamondback via U-Wire
The University of Maryland
COLLEGE PARK, Md. - The defending national champions will open their new gym against a worldly opponent.
The Maryland Terrapin men's basketball team announced its 2002-03 schedule Sunday. The 27-game slate also includes an exhibition against the Harlem Globetrotters Nov.12 in the Comcast Center's first basketball game.
The non-conference schedule appears, on paper, to be tougher than recent Terp agendas. The first official game at the Comcast Center will be Nov. 24 against Miami (Ohio), a competent mid-major program. Another testy mid-major opponent lurks Jan.
8. The 15th-seeded Hampton Pirates garnered national recognition in the 2001 NCAA tournament by upsetting No. 2-seeded Iowa State. Last season Hampton defeated North Carolina in the regular season.
Highlighting the non-conference schedule is a potential four-game stretch against teams that could be Top 25 programs this season. The run begins Dec. 3 when the Terps travel to Indianapolis for a rematch of last season's title match with Indiana. The game is part of the annual ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
The Turps will be looking for their first victory away from the Metropolitan area in the four-year history of the tournament. In 2000, the Terps traveled to Milwaukee, Wisc., and were
Four days later, the Terps will play Notre Dame in the first round of the BB&T Classic at the MCI Center in Washington. A possible matchup with Texas the next day looms, and the scenario would pit the Terps against two of the nation's best point guards, sophomores Chris Thomas of Notre Dame and T.J. Ford of Texas.
defeated 78-75 in overtime by Wisconsin.
The contest against Notre Dame will be a homecoming of sorts for former Terp Danny Miller. The senior forward transferred to play his final season with the Irish before last year.
Rounding out the four-game stretch will be a game at the Comcast Center against perennial power Florida.
2002 tough for Greene
The Associated Press
pean champion Dwain Chambers, Tim Montgomery and two-time Olympic silver medalist Frank Fredericks.
LONDON — It's been a tough 2002 for Maurice Greene, who isn't accustomed to finishing second—much less fifth.
Greene, who owns the world record of 9.79 seconds, vows to be back at his best Friday in a meet at Crystal Palace. He'll face a strong field that includes Euro-
The Olympic and world champion at 100 meters has lost three times this season and he blames some of his problems on deaths in the family and a falling out with his shoe sponsor.
"I'm telling you I'm going to win this one," Greene, of Kansas City, Kan., said Tuesday. "When you say something, you have to live up to it. So we'll see if I can do it or not. It also depends on how you come back from a loss. Watch me come back from this one."
In his most recent race, Greene was fifth in the dash at the Weltklasse Golden League meet in Zurich, Switzerland, finishing in 10.10.Montgomery won in 9.98.
The 28-year-old Greene was second to Chambers on June 28 in Norway and sixth in a secondtier meet two days later in England.
But he acknowledges he hasn't been at his best and says he's been distracted by deaths of a grandmother and uncle, a late start in training, and an acrimonious end to his relationship with Nike.

A former Kansas football player and coach, Don Fambrough, far left, led the team to the Liberty Bowl in 1973. As one of the most notable and knowledgeable supporters of Jayhawk football, Fambrough said he agrees with the direction in which current coach Mark Mangino is taking the team.

Former coach, broadcaster say Mangino has new team headed in right direction
By Doug Levin
Kansan sportswriter
After a disappointing 2001 season and the termination of coach Terry Allen, this season's University of Kansas football team will be unlike any others of the recent past.
At the helm will be first-year coach and former Oklahoma offensive coordinator Mark Mangino.
The 35th head coach in Kansas history will attempt to lead the Jayhawks to their first winning record since 1995 and an elusive bowl game.
Mangino has the support of two former Jayhawks in particular.
Mangino spent the last three years at the University of Oklahoma as an assistant coach. He worked as an offensive coordinator for the 2000 National Champion Sooners and was an assistant at Kansas State under Bill Snyder from 1991-98.
Don Fambrough, a former player, assistant coach, and head coach at Kansas, said he believes in the philosophy and style of Mangino.
Jayhawk fans are hoping the tutelage under Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops and Snyder will help Mangino at the next level of coaching.
As a player, Fambrough led the Jayhawks to its first bowl game in 1948. He has coached or played in five of the eight bowl games Kansas has taken part in.
Max Falkenstien, class of 1948 who is also celebrating his 57th
"Every coach has his own style and personally I agree with the moves Mangino has made."

year of broadcasting KU football this season, is excited about Mangino.
"Every coach has his own style and personally," Fambrough said.
He said it would be a big boost if Kansas could knock off Iowa State in its first game of the year.
749-5067 623 Vermont
"It can be devastating if you lose your first game," Falkenstien said.
"I can remember a season when we lost our first games to Southern Methodist and Wichita State and the team was devastated.
"Teams normally don't play a conference game in their opener, but if Kansas has a shot at a bowl, it's a must win," he said.
Kansas will meet Iowa State in its first match of the season at 11:30 a.m. on Aug. 31 in Ames, Iowa.
WE'RE STILL HERE!
ANE WE'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE
"To lose this game would not be devastating, but to win would be a big boost."

Fambrough agreed. He said the opener could stifle or add momentum from offseason workouts.

Jayplay aims toward local entertainment
LETTER FROM THE JAYPLAY EDITOR
Welcome back to the entertainment mecca that is the University of Kansas.
---
Look around you. The eager freshmen dancing in the Chi Omega Fountain, the lone guitarist playing in front of the Union, the black polish on your new roommate's fingernails, the sororities reciting chants on front steps in the waning summer heat - it's all pretty entertaining, isn't it?
Sarah Smarsh ssmarsh@kansan.com
Still, you're a busy person. You might need help sifting through this realm of amusing events, personalities and oddities. That's our job here at Jayplay, a weekly section aimed at giving you the fun stuff. So while you'll find the traditional entertainment worlds of movies and music addressed in these pages, you'll also find interesting tales from students like yourself, an extensive events calendar to help navigate your weekend, and of course returning favorites Tongue in Beak and the illustrious sex column by Meghan Bainum.
With the addition of a food section, a book reviewer and a fashion columnist (watch next week for that one). Jayplay is broadening its scope. At the same time, we hope to narrow its focus to local angles. While this issue's content meanders beyond KU and Lawrence territory, your contribution of otherwise obscured goings-on will help us bring your entertaining worlds into the spotlight. So let us know when
you're going sky-diving, hosting a mullet party, teaching a craft-making class at a nursing home, starting a band or remodeling your porch with bamboo shoots.
We've done some remodeling of our own. The change to Jayplay's format reflects its increasingly magazine-like identity, and renders the section easier to handle, though it will still leave ink on your fingers. For ink-free entertainment access, look for online goodies like audio clips, useful links and additional photos at kansan.com.
Give Jayplay a look every Thursday, if orly to remind yourself that the weekend is just around the corner. And while the section will come to you only once a week, you'll find plenty of ways to amuse yourself in the meantime. Just look around.

Painful memories: Films recall agony of youth
By Stephen Shupe Jayplay writer
College renders even the most party-hearty student a little sick with apprehension. After all, adulthood lies ahead, just over the next tassel and mortarboard-laden hill.
___
Students can take some comfort, however, knowing they already survived one of the grimmest periods of their lives—adolescence.
Just think, you could have ended up bludgeoning your mother to death or falling off the face of the earth, as the films below illustrate. So push ahead, and between long bouts of caffeine-induced hysteria, watch these small films you might have missed, and remember that no amount of academic torture will ever compare to the pains of growing up.
Heavenly Creatures calls to mind the pains of adolescence, giving reason to take in stride the arguably lesser pains of college life.
Heavenly Creatures
In Peter Jackson's sensational (and fact-based) story about the chokehold power friendship has on teenagers, friends conjure woe for those who threaten the artifice they create.
Contributed photo
Two girls meet at a New Zealand boarding school: shy Pauline (Melanie Lynskey) and eccentric Juliet (Kate Winslet). Soon the girls have memorized the entire lineage of the royal family and have unlocked the key to a place Juliet names "the third world," where knights and princes duke it out for the throne. The girls see it as a substitute for heaven, if only because there they can be alone.
The two are soon chasing one other through the woods in their briefs and hallucinating visions of Orson Welles as a conduit through which they can make love. Their sexuality takes on the form of expression, as if lovemaking were the only way they could obsess over every little detail each has to offer.
The violence that concludes the film represents the real and imaginary worlds colliding, and only spilled blood can separate the girls.
interests by quoting Hitchcock: "Some people's films are slices of life. Mine are slices of cake." Feel free to gorge yourself on this one.
Picnic at Hanging Rock
Jackson's answers may seem harsh, but the director keeps it all bright and inviting, using even the darkest moments to entertain, much in the same way he did in Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. He once described his
Another beautifully filmed tale of violence amongst teenage girls, Picnic at Hanging Rock theorizes that repression of adolescence will not withstand the temptations of nature, human and otherwise.
On a steamy Valentine's Day in 1901, a class of parochial Australian schoolgirls visit a park to lounge away the day below a stunning rock formation. Some members of the group wander into the mountains — and don't come back.
As directed by Peter Weir (Dead Poets Society), the film has little use for conventional plot structure. A few suspects are introduced, but only to reiterate Weir's notion that something supernatural was involved.
Little adds up here, but concrete solutions would surely break the film's hypnotic spell. Other mystery movies sledgehammer home their missing pieces, but Weir wants his theories to stretch beyond borders, refusing to contain them in the time limit of a movie. As a result, the mystery grows, as it did in The Blair Witch Project, in the scariest place — the viewer's imagination.
Storytelling
In this year's most brutally modern comedy, director Todd Solondz embraces cynicism as fact, adolescence as blackout and ambition as a concept few are willing to work at to fulfill.
The film is broken into two sub-movies. If you can get past the first (in which a college student's innate liberalism tricks her into becoming a whore to earn respect and good karma as a writer) without offing yourself, you'll land in the familiar, suburban territory of Scooby, a droopy-eyed teenager with talk-show host ambitions.
In high school, I knew a Scooby or two, the sleepwalking burnout who lived in a locked room at home and another world at school. Solondz's version is so self-absorbed he forgets to interact, and when the opportunity arises in the form of Scooby's best friend propositioning him for oral sex, he accepts with a bored shrug.
A documentary filmmaker emerges, using Scooby to piece together a mocking take on suburbia. A group of film students viewing the documentary laughs hysterically as Scooby confesses onscreen that he might want to direct movies some day.
Scooby's lack of direction stems from a society that wants to see people fail for a cheap thrill. This leaves us wondering whether Scooby had it right when he settled for blocking out the world rather than stepping forward to expose himself to it.

With change of seasons, Hollywood to offer promising films
As summer comes to an end, films may be more interesting than summer's blockbusters By Peter Black
By Peter Black
Jayplay writer
Peter Black
pblack@kansan.com
The summer is quickly coming to an end, leaving behind a slew of films that were overhyped, unfulfilling and soon to be forgotten. Enter fall — the most exciting time of the year for avid moviegoers, when movies actually give reason to go to the theaters beyond stuffing one's face with popcorn. The following promise to be some of the most interesting films of the semester.
FILM
The Rules of Attraction: The trailers indicate a hybrid between the slick stylization of Snatch and Requiem for a Dream and the characters you grow to like but have every reason to hate in Cruel Intentions. However, this could just be a
film that James Van Der Beek is using to break out of the over-emotional character type he has built during his tenure on Dawson's Creek. Van Der Beek's character, Sean Bateman, explores the throes of a being a college drug dealer looking for his next thrill. It just so happens the next thrill he wants is Lauren, played by Shannyn Sossamon from last year's 40 Days and 40 Nights. Let's just hope all the split screens and teched-out camera effects add to the movie rather than cover up a lack of story. The film is set
I Spy: Another pairing of two of Hollywood's funniest men (this time, Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson) teaming up to fight some cheeseball, scheme-hatching criminals. Wilson historically stars in movies that look horrible (Behind Enemy Lines, Shanghai Noon), but he is able to use his charm and his deceptively dumb line deliveries to leave critics championing his films and audiences rolling in the aisles. And while spy films are being made exponentially this year, I Spy seems to make fun of the Bonds and the XXXs. They may have cool gadgets and sexy women, but these guys are having all the fun as well. Check it out on Nov. 1, 2002.
About Schmidt: While Schmidt is partially set in Lawrence, don't expect to see much more than a few familiar buildings — most filming was done in Nebraska. Election writer and director Alexander Payne tells the story of a man trying to find himself in a trek across Nebraska after the death of his wife, retirement and the realization that his entire life has been a failure. Scheduled
for limited release on Oct. 11,2002.
for release in December, Schmidt is already being called one of the must-see films of the year. Jack Nicholson gives what preview audiences are calling an award-worthy performance. Expect to see it in theaters in January 2003.
Solaris: Writer and director Steven Soderbergh's last film before he takes a few years off from filmmaking promises to send this filmmaking icon out with a bang. Teaming up with George Clooney for the third time, the duo leaves the lights of Vegas of Ocean's Eleven for the chill of deep space. From a space station, Clooney observes the possibly supernatural events taking place on the planet Solaris. We'll see whether Soderbergh successfully brings his controlled, down-to-earth approach to the galaxy's outer limits. Solaris is set for release Nov. 27, 2002.

'Frontal' Mixed Bag
In my naive, fantasy-world view on cinema, I look at the role of a film director as that of a magician—a person who uses a bag of tricks to extract the proper emotion at the proper moment.
Of course, some believe magicians are nothing more than shysters. Many film theorists see directors as manipulators who have control issues and could care less whether they satisfy the audience.
Full Frontal, the docu-drama-expose on Hollywood opening tomorrow at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts, speaks to the latter theory.
On the surface. Frontal is a documentary on the sad and twisted satellites that circle Planet Hollywood. Functioning below the celluloid is an examination of why directors have God complexes and feel the need to mess with their audiences. While uncovering this shocking revelation, Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh gets the smug desire to do a little manipulating himself.
Full Frontal begins as a documentary on the La-La Land of Gus the Producer (David Duchovny), which includes a bored married couple (David Hyde Pierce and Catherine Keener), a masseuse

Their tangled stories are juxtaposed with the film Rendezvous, co-written by Carl (Pierce) and starring Catherine (Julia Roberts) and Nicholas (Blair Underwood). The film is designed to drop all sorts of hints, most of which become red herrings, about Carl's personal life. By the halfway mark, we see the actors from Rendezvous merge with the characters in the film that is in the foreground.
to the stars who seeks refuge in Internet dating chat rooms (Mary McCormack), and a screenwriter named Arty (Enrico Colantoni).
It all leads to a climatic party where most everyone has a big revelation. Some people get together, some break apart, and some just die as they asphyxiate while trying to pleasure themselves.
But if only if it were that simple. Full

Frontal's plot may seem complicated and dense, but one must realize that it all plays into this major experiment by the director.
Characters in Rendezvous begin to acknowledge and address the camera when the audience is under the assumption that they were not a part of the documentary.
Actors who are playing actors in the film give self-effacing performances that seem like they are truly acting as themselves when the cameras are not rolling. (Some of Robert's primadonnaisms are reminiscent of the stories of her off-stage antics.)
This all falls into Soderbergh's hypothesis that an audience can never really trust what a filmmaker is going to do and how they will do it.
Accordingly, the story often backtracks on itself and suggests, "Oh. Did you think we were doing that? Because we were really doing... THIS! Ha, suckers!"
While such stunts are rather smug, Soderbergh's treatment of the film is admirable. Primarily shot on digital camera over a two-week period for under $2 million, the look of the film is stark and overexposed, quite appropriate for a film called Full Frontal. And the actors, who were required to provide their own wardrobe and their food, were encouraged to improvise lines. This is where the film reaches true moments of honesty.
One of those moments should go down in Film 2002 history: Underwood's deconstruction of the Black Actor as Leading Man to Roberts.
To fully appreciate this moment is to understand that Roberts allegedly pulled some pretty unprofessional stunts in her attempt to lobby for her buddy Denzel Washington to receive Best Actor at last year's Oscars for his role as the nasty, murderous cop in Training Day.
Underwood scathes the Hollywood establishment for accepting an actor like Washington or Wesley Snipes as a gun-toting bad boy but not as a romantic lead. Especially with a white woman. Soderbergh's camera remains unrelenting on a speechless Roberts through the scene.
Full Frontal is a mixed bag examining the myth and lore of Hollywood and filmmaking. To be fair, most films on these subjects are self-effacing and obnoxious. It's just hard to take filmmakers seriously when they try to prove their childlike antics and oafishness are justified in the name of high art.

Similarities abound between John Mayer, Dave Matthews
By Jordan Tucker Jayplay writer
Let me set a scene for you. You're in your kitchen, grabbing something or another when, wow, you hear this new Dave Matthews song coming from the TV in the other room. "But wait," you think to yourself. "I don't remember Dave Matthews being this bubble-gummy and bland." You enter the TV room only to be confronted by a dark-haired Zack Morris singing his new hit song, "No Such Thing." But wait, that's no Zack Morris... and no Dave Matthews either. That's John Maver.
It happened to me. It can happen to you.
Dave Matthews Band
Vitals Male Caucasian with a last name beginning with MA. First name one syllable, last name two. The eponymous singer of his own band.
The Music Acoustic guitar-driven pop/folk/rock with the added charm of soprano sax and the sharpest drummer in the biz.
The Look—Hey, it's the guy from the bar last night that was sitting in a puddle of his own melancholy. I swear to God.
Major Musical Influences — A single malt scotch and a girl to obsess over.
Female Situation — He's flanked by overly artsy college girls armed with Birkenstocks and sun-dresses.
What Really Hurts — That odd little shimmy he does when playing live. Hey, Kid 'n Play called, and they want their Roger Rabbit back.
Who Gots His Back — A 6' 5" fiddle player that's cut like a friggin' minotaur.
John Mayer
Vitals — Male Caucasian with a last name beginning with MA. First name one syllable, last name two. The eponymous singer of his own band.
The Music — Acoustic guitar-driven pop/folk/rock with the added charm of Paul from the Wonder Years on bass. (Check the video.)
The Look — Hey, it's the guy from the movie classics An American Werewolf in Paris and Dead Man on Campus. I swear to God.
Major Musical Influences — The thought of teenage girls thinking he's "hot." (Mayer claims Stevie Ray Vaughn as his influence. Stevie is rolling over right now, tortured by the lyric "run through the halls of my high school" and a subsequent falsetto shriek.)
What Really Hurts — The lyrics, "Your body is a wonderland/Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)." Now that's corny. Hey, buddy: A handful of people this side of Barry White can get away with singing that, and you sure as hell aren't one of them.
Female Situation — He was flanked by Jennifer Love Hewitt armed with her singing voice.
Who Gots His Back—An army of angst ruiden kids from the rough and tumble streets of Suburbia and an extra batallion of faux-hippies too blasted to notice it's not Dave Matthews they're listening to.
Now I'm caught up in the thought of minotaurs and faux-hippies clashing in mortal combat. Oh, and doing the Roger Rabbit.

Indie rock with high standards
By Janette Yost Jayplay writer
Indie has arrived.
After moving to Lawrence from Topeka this summer, The Billion played the Bottleneck Thursday to celebrate the release of its new album, "Never Felt This Way Before." The night before the show, the band practiced at its farmhouse west of Lawrence, putting out a new vibe.
With its new single, "Hey Girl," playing nationwide on college radio stations including KJHK, 90.7 FM, The Billions will begin its first official tour Aug.22 in Lincoln, Neb. The band will play again locally sometime in September.
Jon Crawford, Tulsa, Olka., junior, said the new CD left him wanting more.
"After hearing the song 'Into the Light,' I definitely want to catch the band's live show." Crawford said.
Gillions

Bilions fans Natsumi Ogihara, Tokyo, Japan, Takako Yano, Yamaguchi, Japan, and Aya Ogihara, Tokyo, Japan, applaud the band during their final song.
"First time we've ever headlined and had people come to see us."
Dan Billen
bass player and keyboardist
Dan Billen, the "old man" of the band at 23, said their music was hard to categorize, but called it "underground alternative with a classic rock influence." At first listen, indie pop comparisons to Pinback and The Ladybug Transistor come to mind.
But Billen wants to avoid the stigma attached to indie music — low standards, cynical attitudes and the sound quality of a basement four-track recording. The band went for that sound at one time, he said, but has grown since its 1998 conception.
All Topeka High School graduates, The Billions members have been in school back and forth between Washburn University and the University of Kansas during the past years but are out of school now, living off their music. After self-releasing three albums and playing regularly in the area, Northern Records, a California indie label that also signed the band Cush, approached the band with a record deal. It signed earlier this year.
The band changed its instrumentation throughout Thursday's show. Billen played bass and keyboard in the main lineup, standing right behind his keyboard to make quick changeovers between them even in the middle of songs, while
adding tight back-up harmonies to the main vocals. His keyboard took on many personas, from pipe organ to strings to slide guitar.
Sam Billen, Dan's brother, sang lead vocals and played electric guitar with a touch of acoustic in the middle of the set. His smooth fill-in-the-gaps voice and complete lyric clarity is similar to Elliot Smith or Nick Drake.
Jared Bowes played electric guitar and sang background, his guitar playing took advantage of every note in the scale, whether arpeggiating or power chording, giving a modern rock-a-billy feel to the music. Bowes added keys on one song and lead vocals on another.
Ken Komiya kept them all together on drum-set; he often played with brushes, once added the tingling of a homemade house-key chime set and consistently twirled a drumstick in his unused hand. His drumming offered a retro feel: think "That Thing You Do" from the same-titled movie. His drums were key in the band's rhythmic mix-ups — reminiscent of The Velvet Underground. Dan also helped the percussion section with the band's unique instrument, a much-kicked homemade jingle bell pedal stand.
The band's Web site and rockkansas.com credit The Flaming Lips, The Beatles, Neil Young and Pedro the Lion as influences.
Though the band had two opening acts on Thursday, The Hardaways and The Capsules

and each of The Billions' songs was well-complemented with jams and segues. The Bottleneck ran only about 40 minutes, not quite long enough for its position as headliner. The crowd called for an encore.
Billen spoke into the mike, with a humble,
straight face.
"First time we've ever headlined and had people come to see us," he said.

110 Stories begins to fill creative void near anniversary of terrorist attacks
A new collection offers diverse perspectives, literary forms on the aftershocks of Sept 11.
By C.J. Jackson Jayplay writer
The extensive media attention given to the World Trade Center attacks have been one of the most telling signs of Sept. 11's impact. But despite wide-ranging news coverage and nonfiction literature about the attacks, a direct, creative response from the literary community has been noticeably absent, until now.
The recent publication of 110 Stories: New York Writes After September 11 (New York University Press) begins to fill this void.
The number bears the significance of the number of floors in tower two of the World Trade Center as well as the number of literary pieces featured in the compilation. Edited and compiled by Ulrich Baer, a professor at New York University, 110 Stories features poetry, shorts stories, essays and all things between, by a group
of writers as diverse as the New York City they write about. From novelist Paul Auster, a native New Yorker, to Masood Farivar, an Afghanborn journalist who fought against the Soviet invasion in the '70s, many perspectives are lent to post-9/11 issues.
In the opening piece, the thoughtful short story "Circumference," Humera Afridi delves into the guilt of a sinful Muslim woman in the days after the attacks. But not every piece is so heavy-handed.
A short-story by Joshua Henkin, "Dog Walking," finds a boy starting a dog-walking business in New York. Though the story never references 9/11, "Dog Walking" has tender reverence for the city that never sleeps ("New York, New York, it's a hell of a town," the boy sings at one point), creating a wistful feeling fully at home in a collection inspired by Sept. 11.
Melvin Jules Bukiet breaks from traditional storytelling with a first-person narrative, "Manhattan Rhapsody," as if New York itself were a person both touching and amusing.
Charles McNulty speculates on how the attacks affected the rat population of New York with "A Rat's Life," creating a charming, if tongue-in-cheek homage to some of New York's oldest residents.
Naturally, 110 Stories is soaked in emotion. While some authors find ways to sneak humor in
(McNulty's and Bukiet's pieces are particularly humorous), sadness and fear pervade most of the writing in 110 Stories.
Roberta Allen addresses her remorse in direct and understated terms with her short story "The Sky Was So Blue." "I had not yet heard from the friend who had seen blood and body parts strewn all over the roof of his high rise," Allen writes.
And Paul Auster reveals a sense of terror in his personal essay "Random Notes: September 11, 2001, 4:00 p.m." "It frightens me to contemplate how many people have been killed. We all knew this could happen," Auster writes.
110 Stories is not perfect — with such a number, some pieces are inevitably better than others but it is a solid collection that may help to ease the pains of Sept. 11. 110 Stories is a valuable resource to a bruised America.

Course readings affected by world events
By ARLENE LEVINSON
AP National Writer
Last January, Kelly O'Ryan talked her way into one of the few slots open for a new course called "Why Do They' Hate Us'?" at St. Lawrence University in Canton, N.Y.
This summer, she landed a job researching articles to update the reading list for the course exploring historic and political perspectives on the Sept. 11 attacks.
"It just seemed like one of the first classes that actually pertained to the real world," said O'Ryan, who will be a junior at the school near
the Canadian border.
That's the sentiment on many campuses, where demand has continued and even grown for classes in the fall semester on subjects such as Islam, political history and terrorism that were suddenly hot topics after Sept. 11.
Ohio State University, for instance, is introducing "Politics and Culture in Central Asia."
Bioterrorism — its history and science, how to mine public records to learn about it, and how public policy figures in the mix — is a new science offering at the University of the South in Sewance, Tenn.
Georgia State University, responding to
demand, just hired a professor to teach Arabic as well as an introductory course on Islam and another on Arabic literature and film. In addition, the school is adding courses on the life of Islam's founder, Muhammad, another on Islamic fundamentalism and one called "War, Peace, and Religion."
Sept. 11 also has brought new relevance to less popular courses.
Last fall, George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., canceled a course on computers and encryption, "Introduction to Information Security Technologies," for lack of interest. Now there's not just one section—already full with 40
students — but a second has been added. And the graduate school of public policy added a course on "Islam and the Internet."
The J. Mack Robinson College of Business at Georgia State has seen enrollment triple for a couple of courses on risk management, to around 40 each.
Jeff Hyson, an assistant professor at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, dreamed for years of teaching how historic events get reshaped in the collective memory.
This fall, in a new course called "History and Memory," he'll use Sept. 11 — including this year's televised memorials — as a major thread

Tawnya Bach Jetmore
Back in the day: Bach wore Roper cowboy boots and worked at the local grain elevator during harvest. Covaledictorian of her 28-person high school class, Bach was very religious and rarely drank or went out. "I was kind of a nerd," she said. "Let me put it this way. I was one of six girls eligible for homecoming queen. Three of them were picked as homecoming queen candidates, and I wasn't one of them."
"Whenever I go home to Jetmore, I get this nostalgic feeling."
Who she is today:A former member of the KU rowing team,Bach sports three tattoos and a wardrobe to reflect her pension for clubbing.
Changed...: Traveling across the country with fellow jocks took Bach to worlds beyond her small town. And a wild freshman-year roommate took her to worlds beyond, well, sobriety. "I remember my first night here — I went out and did a lot of things I'd never done before. I was puking in the trash can, and I thought to myself, 'Welcome to KU.'"
Yet still the same: Bach has taught religion class at St. Lawrence Catholic Center, 1631 Crescent Road, and hopes to some day return to rural living despite career plans in broadcast journalism. "Whenever I go home to Jetmore, I get this nostalgic feeling. Especially when I look out and see the wheat fields - I miss that a lot."

Back in the day: As Student Council president at a small high school, Weber was driven but socially reserved. "I was exceptionally quiet in high school." Once a quasicowboy, he served as vice president of the local Future Farmers of America chapter and had stints with the Quiz Bowl team and the marching band.

Seniors reflect on the past
Emily Nelson Edina, Minn.
Back in the day: An easy-going psychology major who "partied and put things off," Nelson gave little focus to her academic success. In the meantime, she did community service in an effort to fulfill the one goal about which she was sure: she wanted to help other people.
Who she is today: After having an epiphany, of sorts, the summer after her junior year, Nelson sat down to do something she'd never done much of — planning. A
driven pre-med student, Nelson has focused her energy and rearranged her lifestyle (as in, organic chemistry over drink specials) to realize her dream of providing health care to underserved populations in rural and inner-city areas. "I started taking everything more seriously. Once you decide what you want to do with your life, you want to skip all the other crap and make it happen as soon as possible."
Changed...: Some of Nelson's friends felt they lost the laidback friend they once knew
...
to Nelson's busy, pre-med schedule. "Now they know it's nothing personal," she
"I want to help as many people as possible who haven't had access to health care.People who can afford medical care already have plenty of people to help them." said. "It's just what I want to do with my life."
Yet still the same: "I want to help as many people as possible who haven't had access to health care. People who can afford medical care already have plenty of people to help them."

Lawrence's sex spark already heating up
It's started already, hasn't it? The hooking up, breaking up, making up and getting it on that, eventually, become a part of many KU students' lives. The muggy Lawrence air practically oozes sex as thousands of horny, virile men and women pour into town.

You can almost see and feel the hot spark of newly fueled romances everywhere you look — the lingering embrace of two "friendly" acquaintances meeting again after a long, hot summer, the connection between a shadowy couple discussing life in the early morning hours on a moonlit porch and the glances shared between strangers meeting for the first time in math class. It's hard, if not impossible, to resist getting swept up in the crazy, lustful tide of love, sex, heartache and horniness.
But hey, that's a big part of what college is for.
Even though the cruel folks at the Department of Student Housing furnish almost all residence and scholarship hall rooms with rickety, squeaky twin beds, studying your sexuality — and even taking it for a spin when you want to — is almost as important as studying for your
degree.
But it is kind of tough to get information about how to have real and gratifying sex, as opposed to porn-star, movie-star or HBO late-night sex.
Sex can be much more than just the old in and out, and in fact there are worlds of kisses and caresses, games and getting-it-on gear, turn-ons and fetishes out there to explore.
My name is Meghan, and as the University of Kansas' resident sex columnist, I want to help all of you — from the youngest freshman to the oldest graduate student or faculty member — to have great sex and to feel less anxious about navigating the sometimes confusing world of sexuality. I'm not a doctor, or even a sex therapist, but a journalist who is passionate about spreading the word that, when done with necessary precautions, sex is not bad, immoral or dangerous. In any case, when I talk about sex, I'm talking about all kinds of sexual experiences, from kissing to getting freaky with your lover, condoms, a sex toy and a bottle of lube.
So, you sexify men and women of KU, get ready for another semester of columns that will hopefully push your buttons, expand your mind and help you use these experimental years in the most sexually satisfying and graffifying ways.
In the meantime, be safe, be real and don't fight when Lawrence's sexual spark lights a fire in your loins.

N.Y. shock jocks remain off air after sex broadcast
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — In the almost-anything-goes world of radio, home to Howard Stern and Don Imus, a pair of New York shock jocks discovered what goes too far: sex inside St. Patrick's Cathedral.
Opie and Anthony, co-hosts of WNEW-FM's popular afternoon drive-time program, remained off the air for a second day Tuesday
while a 350,000-member Roman Catholic group pushed for their station to get its license revoked. The pair allegedly broadcast a live, eye-witness account of a couple having sex in the landmark Manhattan church.
"Nothing would make us happier than for WNEW's license to be revoked," said William Donohue, head of the Catholic League, which has also demanded a hefty fine for WNEW's parent company. The station is one of 180 owned
nationwide by Infinity Broadcasting.
FCC Commissioner Michael Copps said he had received hundreds of complaints via outraged phone calls and e-mails.
The incident occurred last Thursday, when a Virginia couple was arrested after allegedly having sex in a vestibule just a few feet from worshippers in the church. The encounter was described as it happened during the "Opie and Anthony" show.
If they prove true, he said the commission should consider the strongest enforcement action possible against the station, including revocation.
Brian Florence, 37, of Quantico, Va., and Loretta Lynn Harper, 35, of Alexandria, Va., were arrested on charges of public lewdness. Show producer Paul Mercurio, 42, who called via cell phone and described their actions, was charged with acting in concert.

Faith tested by student lifestyles
The temptations of a college existence often collide with religious backgrounds, leaving students to examine their beliefs.
By Leslie Kimmel Jayplay writer
College gives students the freedom to make up their own rules, learn new concepts and form new ideas. And some University of Kansas students, like Amanda Forbes, Roeland Park sophomore, say it also gives students the freedom to change religious views.
"It's a college thing," she said. "The more educated you are, the least likely you are to fall back on religion."
Forbes said she was raised in a
Christian family, and "believed it all because that's what kids do." But she struggled mixing college freedom with staying true to her religion. Her loss of faith was prompted by making a large number of friends with atheist andagnostic views, she said.
"In college, in the cafeteria and stuff, you start getting into all of these religious conversations," Forbes said. "I started arguing my point and started realizing how ridiculous everything I was saying was."
Forbes said an atheist friend helped
her open up, not just because he was constantly challenging her Christian faith, but also because he had facts to back up every one of his arguments. She said archaeology and anthropology classes also had a strong impact on her faith by offering proof against her Christian creation beliefs.
Other students like Brendan Cope, Leavenworth senior, put their faith on the back burner when they come to college.
"I did the typical college student thing in not caring," he said. "It just didn't strike me as something I needed to do. I never fully left, I just became a twice-a-year Catholic."
Cope said toward the end of his sophomore year he started attending services more often and he returned to the church after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
"It helped me to get the answers I needed all along," he said.
Cope said the quirks of college life, such as sidewalk chalkings about parties and drink specials, could tempt students to do things that didn't coincide with their religious views.
"This is completely parent-free. You
"I did the typical college student thing in not caring... I never fully left, I just became a twice-a-year Catholic."
can do whatever you want," Cope said. "If you want to completely indulge yourself you can; you don't even have to seek it out."
—Brendan Cope Leavenworth senior
Not all students who come to college lose their faith. Rev. Vince Krische, director of St. Lawrence Catholic Center, said the freedom and education a university setting offered could help students more firmly grasp their religion.
"In a secular education system there is no integrating principle," he said. "If I have a theological education, it provides meaning to why I'm learning something else. I think that there is a myth that when you go away to college you can put the person you knew aside."
The challenge for students trying to remain faithful is integrating religious life and college life. Jay Lewis, executive director of Hillel, said a particular

An alternative to pizza: teach yourself to cook
Find some used utensils and a cookbook. Then try using your kitchen.
Amid the excitement of the new semester, many of us are picking up the phone and ordering that "Welcome Back Students" pizza special. Delivery and fast food make our hectic college lives easier. Or maybe they just make us fatter. The "freshman 15" certainly doesn't owe its infamy to "Welcome Back Students" specials on brussel sprouts and tuna wraps.
As students we need to study not only what goes into our brains, but what goes into our mouths. Now is as good a time as any to learn to eat sensibly. But how might college students escape the grease, the cheese, the drive-thru ease? "What can we do?" you ask. "Won't we starve?" What we need to do is (sound this out with me) learn how to C-O-O-K.
Don't stop reading now.
You might be thinking, "I don't have the time or money to cook for myself," "Cooking is too complicated," or "What do you mean by cook? Like with ingredients?" Cooking, like microbiology, freaks people out. But cooking, unlike microbiology, is not difficult. With the right tools, ingredients and recipes, creating your own food can be fast, easy, healthy and cheap.

"What can we do?' you ask. 'Won't we starve?' What we need to do is (sound this out with me) learn how to C-O-O-K."
Besides, what time in your life is best for you to learn to make food? When you are done with college and working 9 to 5? Or will you get around to it when you start raising children and
paying mortgages? Or, most frighteningly,
when you can no longer convincingly order the
"Welcome Back Students" pizza special?
Ask your parents for the measuring cups, spatulas and spoons they've replaced but not discarded. Pool resources with your roommates. Go to the grocery store. Take this opportunity as a college student to hone your cooking skills — it's a lesson that, unlike microbiology, you're sure to use in the real world.

challenge to religious students was making time for their religion, especially for Jewish students, whose Sabbath begins Friday night and ends Saturday at sundown.
"Friday night is a major social night and students have to decide while their friends are going out to bars and parties to stay home and go to a synagogue," he said.
Ross Brand, Long Grove, Ill., junior and president of Alpha Epsilon Pi, said he never felt the need to stray from his religious beliefs and being involved in a campus ministry helped him maintain a religious lifestyle.
Jewish students can integrate their faith and their social life by joining traditionally Jewish fraternities and sororities like Alpha Epsilon Pi and Sigma Delta Tau. Religious clubs and groups like Navigators and Campus Christians also allow students to connect with people of similar religious views.
For some students, exploring new ways to fit religious life into college life opens the door to new standards of living. Corey Rittmaster, Hillel Jewish student life coordinator, said exploring new lifestyles gave students a chance to weave their religious views into other aspects of their lives.
"All too often, people come to college and it's a choice of whether to become an independent person or to remain Jewish." Rittmaster said. "They don't have to be separate ideas."

60 Minutes reporter to replace Rather
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Veteran 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl will become host of another CBS newsmagazine, 48 Hours Investigates, this fall, the network said Wednesday.
Stahl will keep her job on 60 Minutes.
CBS is changing the name and on-air look of the newsmagazine, called simply 48 Hours for its first 15 years. This fall, it will focus more on crime and real-life dramas in a single-topic format.
Dan Rather was anchor of the show, but he's stepping down to devote more time to the CBS Evening News and 60 Minutes II.
Stahl has been CBS' White House correspondent and moderated Face the Nation before joining 60 Minutes.
"Few journalists command the hard-earned respect and credibility of Lesley Stahl," CBS News president Andrew Heyward said. "48 Hours Investigates will afford Lesley another well-established outlet for her formidable talents."
She begins the new job Sept. 27.

Lawrence resident Adam McLaughlin temporarily walked out on a journalism degree - one semester away from graduation - to learn what he deems a more "practical" skill as a line cook at Pachamama's, 2161 Quail Creek Drive.
Former student's unlikely career path leads to food
By Amy Kelly
Jayplay writer
The recipe for success doesn't always taste right the first time.
Just ask 22-year-old Adam McLaughlin, a former KU journalism student who stirred up his career goals by taking a road traveled not by Dan Rather, but rather the Iron Chef.
On the verge of completing his advertising major in the William Allen White School of Journalism, McLaughlin decided to take a hiatus from the daily grind of college and unfulfilling jobs to be a line cook and dishwasher at Pachamama's World Cuisine, 2161 Quail Creek Drive, near the corner of Clinton Parkway and Kasold. The inspiration? A grumbling stomach.
"After four years of being a very poor, nutritionally-deprived college student, I wanted to learn how to feed myself, ultimately." McLaughlin said. "You want to branch out, and you want to learn new things. The instructions on the Ramen package only go so far."
Blocks of noodles may have played a large role in McLaughlin's switch to Pachamama's, but a decreasing interest in his advertising major didn't help.
"After being in the J-School for two years and spending four years at KU, I became a little disenchanted with the whole idea of doing advertising." McLaughlin said. "I think advertising is fascinating in and of itself and what it says about people. But as far as the actual creation of that and deciding what message you personally want to send people, no."
After "eating and hanging out for a couple of years" at Pachamama's, which employed many of his friends, McLaughlin decided to apply. The decision was not an easy one either, considering his primary dining service experience came from delivering pizzas.
McLaughlin's gumption paid off, though. He earned himself a spot at the widely praised restaurant.
"I started as a dishwasher, which I'm still doing a few nights a week — paying those dues and earning those stripes," McLaughlin said. "I'm starting to shift over to the kitchen, where I do salads and desserts."
"The instructions on the Ramen
package only go so far.' Adam McLaughlin former journalism student
With little cooking background, he often has to swallow his pride in the presence of his coworkers.
"For me, a lot of what I'm doing is getting over the fact that I'm asking really stupid questions to people who know what they're doing," he said. "Being in the kitchen, a lot of it is just getting over the fact that I'm going to sound like a moron."
So, could he one day be referred to as Chef Adam?
"Culinary schools cost money, lots of money, which I really can't afford right now," he said. "I don't know what I want to do with it."
While his plans are uncertain, McLaughin said the practicality of cooking skills appealed to him, and he approached the ins and outs of the kitchen with an eagerness lacking in his academic education.
With its changing monthly menu, Pachamama's continues to offer something new both for the public and for McLaughlin. Pachamama's offers fare from rubbed skirt steak (the diaphragm of the cow) to wood-fired arctic chär (trout).
"I want to learn. In the J-School I wasn't investing myself well enough to learn."
McLaughlin has not reached entree status, but will continue to work as a line cook with the intent to move up to the pizza oven, grill and sauté stations. A return to KU looms on the horizon as well, with McLaughlin planning to attend in the spring to finish his degree.
"I'm not going to use my degree yet, but I'm not saying ever." McLaughlin said. "One nice thing about cooking is that it's very useful. You can go anywhere, you can do anything with it."
Pachamama's opens for dinner nightly at 6 p.m.To make reservations, call 841-0990.

Dan Jones on rebound
According to market analysts, Topeka sophomore Dan Jones is rebounding from his mid-year low of waking up past noon, drinking himself to sleep and writing furtive letters to his ex-girlfriend Cindy he never planned on delivering.
A mid-afternoon rally of watching old James Bond movies reportedly lifted Dan Jones to peak levels yesterday, and have given him the confidence to ask Jennifer Dilly to the Bottleneck Saturday.

Bush submits to authorities
As part of his fervent legislative response to corporate scandals, President Bush has announced that he will have himself and Vice President Dick Cheney arrested for their own prior engagements in illegal insider trading.
Bush's Press Secretary Ari Fleischer said the president hoped the move would both ease the concerns of timid investors on Wall Street and discourage corporate crooks from engaging in accounting fraud in the future.
"The president said he would be willing to do a few weeks in Huntsville State Penitentiary as long as he would be allowed conjugal visits with the First Lady," said Fleischer. "However, the president has expressed some concern about his protection from the thousands of prison inmates who are serving time under the no-tolerance anti-drug legislation he passed as governor of Texas."
KU Parking invades Poland
— George Schulz
By Mandalee Meisner
Kansan satire writer
In a surprise move, KU Parking Department invaded Poland yesterday at approximately 11:23 a.m.
Witnesses said the first indication of invasion came when troops came into the country in three fronts. Soon afterward, a bright pink envelope appeared under Poland's left windshield wiper.
Interim Director of KU Parking, Donna Hul-
tine, cited various reasons for the military actions.
UN Ambassador James Thriegald said this term was merely a euphemism that covered up
"We've issued Poland eight previous citations," Hultine said. "But we were forced to take more dramatic actions after Poland refused to pay any of their 20 dollar tickets."
According to unnamed sources, KU Parking plans to set up what they call "red zones" throughout the country.
the true nature of the proposed partitions.
"I believe these supposed 'red zones' will actually be regions of pain and suffering, where the poor will be relegated, forced to take up residence and then brutally punished."
Poland, a beleaguered country with a long history of foreign exploitation, issued no comment other than a plea for the revocation of KU Parking's "totally unfair" policies.

Fertile Crescent of Evil added to Kansas textbooks
The Kansas Board of Education once again led the nation in textbook reform, passing a law that requires "of evil" be added to every reference to the Middle Eastern region of the world.
Examples of phrases that will be affected include "fertile crescent" and "birthplace of civilization."
Kansas Board of Education member Janet Thompson said the move was prompted by President Bush's recent indictment of the countries Iran and Iraq, which he called part of an "axis of evil" where terrorism is bred and condoned.
"It may take some time for fourth graders to get used to seeing 'fertile crescent of evil' in their vocabulary handouts," Thompson said, "but it was just the only patriotic thing to do."

Controversial Mexican film draws protest
MEXICO CITY — Despite strong criticism from Roman Catholic officials, The Crime of Father Amaro set the record for the country's highest-grossing Mexican film in its first weekend.
Known in Spanish as El Crimen del Padre Amaro, director Carlos Carrera's film earned $3.2 million and reached an audience of 863,000 people in 365 movie theaters throughout Mexico.
The movie's initial earnings beat the previous record of $1.2 million for *Y Tu Mama Tambien*.
The Crime of Father Amaro is a modern-day adaptation of Portuguese novelist Jose Eca de Queiroz's 1875 satire about a priest struggling with his vows of celibacy.
In the movie, a newly ordained priest begins a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old girl and discovers one of his fellow priests is mixed up with drug traffickers while another is involved with leftist guerrillas.
Although the Catholic Church has taken no
official measures to prevent the film from being shown, many priests warned against seeing it, and scattered protests took place outside theaters on its opening day.
Many of the lead actors in The Crime of Father Amaro have appeared in cutting-edge movies that have revitalized Mexico's film industry.
Officials crack down on media piracy in Phillipines
MANILA, Philippines - Police seized nearly $20 million in pirated CDs and copying equipment and arrested seven Indonesian and five Chinese workers in a raid in the northern Philippines.
The raid late Monday on a clandestine factory in Meycauyan, Bulacan province, is the latest step in a high-profile campaign by authorities against music and movie piracy.
Last month, officials used steamrollers to
crush 2 million pirated CDs, DVDs and cassettes seized from sidewalk stalls and shops to show the Philippine government's efforts to stem the illegal industry.
President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo said the raid "is not only a great help to the members of the entertainment industry who are being cheated, but also our reputation in the world."
The Philippines have been identified as a major center of film and music piracy by the Washington D.C.-based International Intellectual Property Alliance.
Estefan, Smits to host Latin Grammy ceremony
SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Pop star Gloria Estefan and actor Jimmy Smits have agreed to host this year's Latin Grammys ceremony.
The ceremony will air live on CBS on Sept. 18 from the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood. Colombian artist Carlos Vives has the most nominations with six, while salsa diva Celia Cruz has four.
Estefan and Smits also co-hosted the event's inaugural celebration in 2000 with actor Andy Garcia and singer-actress Jennifer Lopez.
Smits was also set to headline last year's show with Christina Aguilera before the Sept. 11 terror attacks forced its cancellation.
The Actor, whose parents were from Puerto Rico and Suriname, is co-owner of The Conga Room for Latin music in Los Angeles. He's best known for his roles on the TV series L.A.Law and NYPD Blue.
Estefan, who was born in Cuba, has won a Latin Grammy and three Grammy Awards.

Triplets start college life together
Freshmen triplets adapt to living together in Oliver Hall
By Matt Stumpff
Kansan staff writer
Walk into Oliver Hall, and you may find yourself doing a triple-take.
Erin, Katie and Stacy Keairnes, Overland Park freshmen, have resided in each other's company their entire lives. They aren't ready to separate yet.
Katie had the opportunity to play collegiate softball at several other schools, but wanted to stay with her sisters.
"I thought about going to a different school, but we've lived together for 18 years, so it would have been a hard adjustment," Katie said.
The Keairnes women are fraternal triplets, which means they came from three separate fertilized eggs.
Identical triplets come from one fertilized egg that splits into three.
The triplets live in separate rooms on the same floor at Oliver, but originally requested to live on different floors to meet more people.
Some students regard the triplets as a novelty, said Kelly Hipp, Barrington, Ill., freshman.
"We went to a frat, and everyone just followed us around asking if they were the triplets," Hipp said.
The girls don't mind some of the stereotypes of being triplets, but dismiss the notion of having telepathic abilities with each other.
"You know how people think we can tell if one of the others is sick? We can't do that." Erin said.
Lyndsay Canada, Barrington, Ill., freshman, quickly became friends with the triplets after their arrival at Oliver Hall on Sunday.

Faculty shortage hurts atmospheric science
By Justin Henning Kansan staff writer
This is no act of mother nature, but it has still created quite a brouhaha.
Ralf Bennartz, former professor, left the program at the end of the Spring 2002 semester with little warning, said Ray Ammar, chair of the physics and astronomy department.
Budget cuts may cause the American Meteorological Society not to renew accreditation for the University of Kansas' Atmospheric Science program.
Ammar said this lack of notice, coupled with the University's tight budget, has left the program short one full-time professor for at least the next year. The AMS requires the department to have a minimum of three tenure-track professors to keep the accreditation, and currently the department has two.
"It is regrettable that we lost Dr. Bennartz," Ammar said. "But the University has allowed us to seek a temporary replacement, and all courses will still be taught this fall."
Tanya Brown, Fayetteville, N.C. junior, thought the loss of accreditation could cause potential employers to not look at a KU degree with a high regard.
"I feel like maybe I should transfer." Brown said. "It doesn't seem worth my time to wait around for maybe someday getting another full-time professor."
However, Amnar insists another professor is on the way, although not any sooner than Fall 2003. He said talks were already in place with Kim Wilcox, dean of liberal arts and sciences, to begin the search as soon as possible. In the meantime, he said all classes would be taught as though Bennartz had never left.
"It doesn't seem worth my time to wait around for maybe someday getting another full-time professor.
Tanya Brown
Fayetteville, N.C., junior
Promises of a new professor have done little to quiet the concerns of students still in the program. Eric Levy, Overland Park senior, said a loss in accreditation would hurt any student still involved in the program.
"What worries me is that we had the money last year to keep a professor on hand, and now we can't even hire one," Levy said.
The process of hiring a full-time professor takes several months, said Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations. Bretz said the tight budget did nothing to help the situation. Instead, the department is getting by with what it can.
Curtis Hall, instructor in physics and astronomy, has been at the University since 1981. Because he is not on a tenure track, he can teach for only three years as a full-time instructor, which he has already done. Regardless, he said he had worked as a full-time professor for a fourth time last year because of the shortage of faculty in the department.
"This is not catastrophic," Hall said. "We still have a good program."

Lightning struck this tree yesterday near Potter Lake and injured Traci Pillard, Salina senior.
Storm leaves student injured
By Michelle Burhenn
Kansan staff writer
A KU student may have been struck by lightning near Potter Lake shortly after noon yesterday.
Traci Pillard, Salina senior, was walking on a sidewalk east of the lake when lightning struck a nearby sycamore tree, said Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office.
Because of her proximity to the tree, she may have been hit by the lightning too. he said.
"The lightning just struck right in front of me," said Nicole Howard, St. Francis sophomore. "The bark was just flying everywhere."
Howard said Pillard landed face down on the ground and was alert after being hit. She said the Pillard's shoes, jeans and shirt were shredded. She said witnesses near the scene immediately called 911.
Pillard was transported to the University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, Kan., by LifeNet helicopter. She was listed in fair condition.

Park and Ride passes sell out

The wheels on the bus may go round and round, but they can only hold so many commuters.
The University of Kansas campus bus system, KU on Wheels, sold out of its Park and Ride passes Wednesday, the first time that has happened in the program's history.
"This is a really cool thing, in my opinion," Mike Appleby, transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels, said. "It speaks highly of the program and makes a great case if we ever wanted to expand."

Student gored by bull would do it all over again
Lindsey Saint, Overland sophomore, has a bandage and 7-inch scar to remind her of the bulb that gored her in Pamplona, Spain, this summer.
FELICITATE
Jessica Havlicek/Kansan
By Vonna Keomanyvong Kansan staff writer
Lindsey Saint never saw the bull charging.
Before she knew it, the 1,200-pound bull dove its horn straight through her left calf. The impact of the charge knocked the Overland Park sophomore into a wooden fence before she landed on the ground.
The 19-year-old looked up and saw the bull still stamping its feet, so she ran. Finding a small crack under a fence, Saint scooted under it. She then looked down at her leg, and all she saw was bone.
"The horn missed every tendon, bone and muscle," Saint said. "The doctors said that another half inch and it would have hit the femoral artery on the back of my knee. So I could have bled to death right in the street."
Saint was on a six-week study abroad
program in Spain. She was one of three people gored July 7 while participating in the annual "Running of the Bulls." The run is part of Sanfermin, a seven-day festival that takes place every year from July 7 through July 14 in Pamplona.
Bryan Rodick, a Wichita senior who ran with Saint, said he was proud of her.
Saint spent five days in the hospital and underwent surgery to take a layer of skin from her leg to replace the skin missing from her calf.
"We called her when we got back to Barcelona, and I just told her that she's the bravest girl that I ever met." Rodick said. "She didn't act scared or anything. If I was in her shoes, I would have been scared to be in a different country with my leg hurt."
"I tried to put myself in her position."
Saint's mom, Ruth Saint, did not even know that her daughter was going to run with the bulls. However, she said she was not upset at her daughter
she said. "However, a lot of kids in their teens walk around with the thought that nothing can happen to them. But once they experience life and know people who have been in accidents and have died, then they'll actually realize that life is real."
By the end of the festival, 12 people were gored by bulls, and 23 people suffered concussions and slight wounds.
The only sign of Lindsey Saint's injury is the permanent 7-inch, horseshoe-shaped scar on the back of her knee and calf, which are still bandaged. Despite her injury, Saint said she would do it again.
"It's a good feeling to say that I did the famous thing." Saint said. "When you hear people talking about it on TV, I can say that I did it."

CAMPUS Men beat male student, fail to steal from him
A 22-year-old University of Kansas student fought three men during an attempted robbery and aggravated battery Tuesday morning in the 1200 block of Tennessee Street, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Mike Patrick.
The male student told Lawrence Police he was walking home between 4 a.m. and 4:05 a.m. Tuesday when he was attacked by three males he did not know. The student said the three men had beaten him as they tried to steal his wallet, Patrick said. He was punched in the face and while facedown, the men punched and kicked him.
The male student said he had begun to fight back, and the three men had run away without his wallet. The student went for assistance at a nearby house and then was driven to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, Pattrick said. Lawrence Police were dispatched to the hospital.
Patrick said the victim described the three males as follows:

Piper superintendent resigns after cheat scandal
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A school dis
trict superintendent that became embroiled in a plagiarism controversy has resigned, district officials said.
The Piper school board accepted Michael Rooney's resignation Tuesday evening as part of a settlement agreement, board attorney Louis Clothier said Wednesday.
Rooney, 60, will be on a paid leave of absence until his contract expires June 30 and his resignation takes effect.
The three-page settlement agreement approved by Rooney and the board gives Rooney until Tuesday to revoke it. It prohibits the board and district administrators from commenting on Rooney's character or job performance and assures that he cannot sue the district.
Rooney became a key figure late in Piper's plagiarism controversy after depositions taken by the Wyandotte County district attorney revealed that Rooney — not the school board — suggested in a closed-door session Dec. 11 that Piper High School teacher Christine Pelton change the failing grades of 25 students she had accused of plagiarism.
Pelton, who resigned in protest, said Rooney told her the school board ordered the change.
On April 2, the board settled a civil complaint filed by Wyandotte County District Attorney Nick Tomasic. Board members agreed to pay a fine and publicly discuss the plagiarism. In return, Tomasic dropped his complaint, which alleged that the board violated the Kansas Open Meetings Act on Dec. 11.
On Wednesday, the leader of a parents group that had asked the board to fire Rooney said she was "greatly encouraged" by his departure.
"He was a loose cog," said Pam Ruth, whose group also is seeking to oust two board members. "While the board didn't do its job and say, 'No, don't do this,' he's the one who said, 'This is what I am going to do,' and that's what he did."
Election decision reversed after computer problems
The discovery of a computer glitch reversed one outcome from this month's primary elections in Kansas, and an unsuccessful candidate in another race has based his request for a special election on alleged technical difficulties.
showed challenger Roy Jennings defeating incumbent Jerry Mayo by 22 votes.
In Clay County, computer results from a County Commission primary
The hand recount, completed Tuesday, revealed Mayo as the winner — and by a landslide, 540 votes to 175.
In one ward, which Mayo carried 242-78, the computer had mistakenly reversed the totals. And in the absentee voting, which originally showed a 47-44 edge for Jennings, a hand count found Mayo winning 72-19.
"I'm sorry everyone had to go through that, but glad to see the will of the voters carried through," Mayo said.
Jennings, whose attorneys walked out of Tuesday's election panel hearing, said he had reservations about the recount.
"The ballots and counting machine and program chip were open to anyone with access to the (county) clerk's office, mostly active opponents to my campaign," Jennings said.
In Great Bend, a fossil hunter who sought a seat in the state Legislature is seeking a special election, alleging problems with a machine that scans ballots opened the door for possible tampering in the primary election.
Alan Detrich lost his GOP primary bid for the 112th District seat to the incumbent, Rep. John Edmonds of Great Bend, by a margin of 2 to 1.
Detrich, also of Great Bend, wrote to Attorney General Carla Stovall and Secretary of State Ron Thornburgh on Monday with concerns about how ballots were handled on election night.
"I have no evidence that any ballots were tampered with, but the fact that the ballot boxes were outside Barton County for approximately five hours in two separate vehicles with unknown occupants raises serious questions," Detrich wrote.
After the optical scanner failed to read some ballots, sealed ballot boxes were loaded into a private vehicle and a prisoner cargo van from the jail and taken to Saline County, the nearest location with the same equipment.
Election workers eventually discovered the problem was with a piece of electronic equipment created to read Barton County's ballots. The equipment wouldn't read advance ballots and ballots from three rural precincts.
Barton County Clerk Donna Zimmerman defended the county's election safeguards. She said she rode in the van and could see the other vehicle for the entire trip.

Referendum validity in question
By Caleb Nothwehr
Kansan staff writer
Student Senate is printing two copies of its 2002-2003 rules and regulations, one with Referendum B, and one without it.
That's because no one knows whether the referendum, which gives students in greek housing off-campus representation, is valid. The referendum is now in the hands of Senate Judicial Chair Phillip Delatorre. The student body voted in favor of Referendum B last April.
Molly Mulloy, administrative assistant for University Governance, said Delatorre was in the process of reviewing Referendum B, and he would decide if the judicial board would have a hearing on the issue.
"We expect to know in the next couple of days," Mulloy said.
The referendum came under question again this summer when former senator Branden Bell,
"The initiative was never conducted properly; it never followed any of the rules."
Branden Bell
former student senator and first-year law student
Tulsa, Okla. first-year law student, filed a complaint against members of the Student Senate executive committee.
According to the complaint, the referendum violated Senate rules and regulations in its formative stages and should not be upheld.
"The initiative was never conducted properly; it never followed any of the rules," Bell said.
Now the student body president and vice president are upholding the referendum.
"We are upholding what the students wanted," said Jonathan Ng, student body president.
Over the summer, Ng, Leawood senior, asked Rose Marino, University associate general counsel, to review Referendum B
as an impartial third party. Marino reviewed the referendum and, in an e-mail response, said the Senate should consider the referendum valid.
"The proposed legislation, which was Referendum B, having received over 50 percent of the vote, is valid; is to be treated as a regular enactment of the Student Senate," Marino wrote.
The referendum has gone on a roller coaster of support and dissension since the student body voted to uphold it last spring.
Former Vice President Kyle Browning overruled the referendum because the correct procedure wasn't followed for getting the referendum on the ballot.
When Ng and Student Body
Vice-President Loren Malone took office at the same meeting, Malone, Tulsa, Okla., senior, told the Senate than neither she nor Browning had the power to make a ruling on the referendum once it had been voted on by the students.
Andy Knopp, the senator who introduced the referendum, said the dispute over the legislation was all about a technicality.
Both Knopp and Ng said they hoped Senate could move past this issue quickly.
"If I had read it more closely I would've avoided controversy," Knopp, Manhattan junior, said.
"I hate to see us rehashing things that are in the past," Knopp said.

KU Web site gets face-lift, new navigation
Web page uses new technologies that offer advance online services
By Kyle Ramsey
Kansan staff writer
Visitors accessing the University's Web site this week might have noticed that things have changed.
"It was time for a face-lift," said Julie Loats, Web administrator for Academic Computing Services.
The redesign, launched late Sunday, aimed to bring better organization and a more cohesive look to the site based on e-mail feedback from users. Loats said
the change was also made to support the Web site's "expanded content."
The expansion includes a new online calendar that would allow groups campuswide to submit their events.
These entries could include items from the academic calendar published in the timetable of courses, student clubs and sporting events.
"It provides a central entry point for calendar information," Loats said.
Another feature incorporated in the new look was the virtual campus tour, developed by University Relations. The tour gives users access to 360-degree views of campus, building descriptions and histories.
Check out the University's new Web site at www.ku.edu
Loats said the redesign was still in transition but developers would continue to turn toward user input for ideas.
"Focus groups will very much be part of the evolving site," she said.
Behind the scenes, the new site uses technologies geared toward easy navigation. Brett Stoppel, Web developer for Academic Computing Services, said the redesign's appearance was based on cascading style sheets.
The style sheets are a Web technology that allows site developers to easily apply a universal format across the entire site.
He said another technology
with a similar focus was called server-side includes.
These "includes" allow developers to create components such as the navigation bar only once. The developer can then direct pages throughout the site to read and display that single file.
Although these technologies allow other campus departments to adopt the new look, Stoppel said there were no plans to mandate that all KU sites change their image.
System requirements for the new look demand at least a version 4.0 Web browser or above, Stoppel said.

Chancellor Hemenway, Mark Gonzales of Commerce Bank and Dale Seufering of the Endowment Association suprise Virgil H. Adams III with a $5000 Kemper Award yesterday in Fraser Hall.
Professors receive excellence award
By Lindsay Hanson Kansan staff writer
It's the University of Kansas's version of Publisher's Clearing House.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway led a "Surprise Patrol" yesterday, interrupting classes to present the 2002 William T. Kemper Award for Excellence to each recipient. The $5,000 awards have been given to 20 faculty members each year since 1996, for excellence in teaching and advising.
Hemenway, Janet Murguia, executive vice chancellor for University Relations, and representatives from the Kansas University Endowment Association and Commerce Bank, trustee of the Kemper fund, made up the convoy of presenters.
They presented an oversized check and a glass plaque from the University to six of the recipients yesterday. Jasjit S. Ahluwalia, chair and associate professor of preventative medicine, received the award Aug. 14.
The patrol has distributed $35,000 of $100,000 so far. The remaining 15 recipients will learn
of the honor today. Monday and Wednesday.
Virgil H. Adams III, assistant professor of gerontology and psychology, was teaching in Fraser Hall when the patrol burst into his classroom.
"I'm sort of at a loss for words," he said.
Yesterday's winners include Adams; Stephen H. Benedict, associate professor of molecular biosciences; Mark Joslyn, assistant professor of political science and government; Paul S. Lim, professor of English; Marjorie E. Swann, associate professor of English; and laue B. Wright, professor of theatre & film.
The Kemper Foundation of Kansas City and the Kansas University Endowment Association established the program in 1996. Hemenway said the awards were a good way to show gratitude to outstanding faculty.
"This enables us to put money in the great teachers' pockets," Hemenway said.

University should change plans for Ohio St. houses
Additional scholarship halls face heated debate from multiple groups
A hearing last Tuesday to decide the future of three antiquated houses on the 1300 block of Ohio turned heated as persons on both sides of the issue fought to a stalemate.
The University of Kansas wants to destroy the houses, all more than a century old, and build a new scholarship hall on the site. Just about everyone else wants to stop the University from getting its way.
The Oread Housing Association, the Lawrence Preservation Alliance, and even many scholarship hall residents want to seek out other alternatives to demolition.
Some scholarship hall students wish to keep the halls more exclusive rather than diluting the program with greater numbers. But the University's desire seems to be greater numbers.
Although the opponents' argument that the houses have historical value based on their proximity to the Beta House — seems dubious, other plans should be considered.
The KU Student Housing Association, which is not affiliated with the Uni
versity, proposed a renovation project to add to its cooperative living program. Renovation alone will serve as a better alternative to demolishing houses and replacing them with a scholarship hall that some scholarship hall students do not want.
Adding to the problem of the University's plan to construct a new scholarship hall will be the problem of parking. The lack of parking spaces in existing halls already poses a problem for students and nearby residents, and the addition of another scholarship hall with no plans for increased parking in the area is hardly a reasonable idea.
Similar to other issues in the past -- the tuition hike for example -- the University made plans without offering sensible solutions.
While Governor Bill Graves weighs both sides, the citizens of Lawrence must consider limiting how far the University plans to expand past its borders and into the community.
If the University decides it truly needs another hall, it should consider other plots of unused land it owns, such as 15th and Alumni Place, instead of stretching its interests where they are not wanted.

Ahhh, No more STDs for me...thanks to the power of prayer!
That assignment can wait...procrastinate
Ah yes, it's that wonderful time of year again. A time when everyone is trying to hold on to those last fleeting moments of summer before classes begin in full swing. A time when we are already beginning to see due dates and deadlines in the not-so-distant future. The stress of another semester is upon us all.
I have learned this past summer that this kind of stress is not only around during the school year, but also during the heat of summer, when we are all supposed to be relaxing and getting away from it all.
Never fear, however, because there is a solution, a cure to this impending stress we face.
I confess. I discovered it a long time ago, in my wee grade school days. Since then, I have been fine tuning and perfecting it into the art it now is. I call it the Art of Procrastination (what, you were expecting something less predictable?
I call it an art because of the myriad ways in which I have seen it in action. I have procrastinated everything from research papers and studying for major exams, to job applications and family vacations. It is the cause of some stress, and a less than perfect finished result, but in the end makes for another task completed.
Come on, this is only the second day of classes).
Yes, procrastination has made my day-to-day life extraordinarily bearable.
At this point, I must insert a small disclaimer.
To my professors: I promise that I will do my best not to procrastinate on any assignments you may choose to give, and I will always give 110% in and out of class.
To my fellow students: I learned last year that, although procrastination is with us all — and in some cases is unavoidable — I do not recommend
COMMENTARY
[Image of a woman with long hair and a smile]
Sarah Zafar opinion@kansan.com
I can guarantee that at least once in everyone's life, the temptation to procrastinate has taken on a force all of its own. Suddenly, a day at the lake really is more important than meeting a deadline. I have done it all when it comes to procrastination, and while I secretly enjoy my little successes, I have also felt the stinging burn of a teacher's or boss's
wrath, when I am forced to admit my wrongs.
At any rate, procrastination is something everyone does, some more often than others, and while it is sometimes a risk worth taking, other times it is better to actually put the time we have to good use and create a quality end result.
So, there you have it, my first column of the semester, written in the rush of getting ready for the start of another school year where I hope to repeat my successes and learn from my mistakes.
I apologize for the complete lack of originality, and if you are still reading, sorry to have put you through another moment in your life where you could have been doing something useful, like putting off that reading assignment until later...

No, really. And before you think someone my age probably isn't too much fun, let me tell you something. I recently overheard the webmaster at my office telling a friend that his parents, ages 49 and 51, had just gone to the annual Sturgis rally on a motorcycle. At their ages! He was mortified; I thought it sounded great. I'd do it if I had a Harley. Or a husband.

I'm also a KU student.
That conversation made me wonder, though, how people see me now. Yesterday I noticed a woman outside the Kansas Union who was passing out flyers that said something about "Students" and "$$$$." She handed them to all the people walking in front of me. But when I came by, she paused and then waited for
the folks behind me. I'm guessing it was because I look too old to be a student; it's certainly not because I look like I really don't need "$$$$."

Like "Wow, why on earth did they decide to have construction going on right outside the Union bookstore on the busiest days of the year?" or "Wow, what made me think the computer enrollment system would actually be working on the day I signed up?"
And I even experienced a Freshman moment: "Oh good lord, I just stood there talking to my new professor for 20 minutes and my zipper was down the entire time!"
Maybe it's this return to vulnerability that's making the whole thing worthwhile. After learning that I needed to come back at 6:00 in the evening to register, I headed back to the Union and this time the lady with the flyers smiled and handed me one.
I learned that some things have changed a lot, like "A dollar an hour to park? Are they nuts?" or "How come the undergrad guys don't turn my head like they used to? Wow."
This new adventure is making me younger already.

New Senate committee to monitor University use of tuition money
By Molly Gise Kansan staff writer
A Student Senate committee wants to hold the University to its promises.
The committee, which was formed this summer, will ensure that the University of Kansas continues to hear the recommendations and concerns of students regarding tuition. Student Body President Jonathan Ng said.
The University faces a tight budget, and a deeper cut is expected. Earlier this month Gov. Bill Graves announced a 1 percent state budget cut.
Ng said that, even with the budget shortfalls, the University is still obligated to spend a portion of tuition money on school enhancements.
"It's to make sure our tuition dollars aren't going to plug any holes where the budget dropped the ball." Ng said.

find out about how and when tuition money is spent and to offer student ideas.
The committee also educates students about how their tuition is spent by the University and how the budget affects funding choices.
Ng said Student Senate will launch a campaign this year to inform students about these issues. Students should understand how the budget process works, he said.
One goal of the committee is make sure that part of the tuition money goes toward improving the University, Ng said. Last year's ad hoc committee on university
funding recommended a list of such improvements that the tuition increase should support.
One example is the proposed salary package for Graduate Teaching Assistants. The proposal, which totals roughly $1 million, will be paid for by the tuition increase.
Other enhancements include classroom improvements and technology upgrades, like online enrollment. Online enrollment is an area where KU lagged behind its peer institutions, Ng said.
"If we're going to be a top 25 university, we should start thinking like one," Ng said.
Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations, said student ideas about how the University spends tuition money play a critical role in the process of fund allocation.
"I think everyone feels very strongly about having Student Senate involvement," Bretz said.

As virus travels west, zoo officials take precautions
Kansas City Zoo moves birds inside to prevent West Nile virus exposure
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Zoo officials are moving some endangered birds indoors and vaccinating others to ensure the flock isn't struck by the West Nile virus.
The mosquito-borne disease has moved west since its arrival in New York in 1999. It was found last fall in eastern Missouri but only recently was detected in the Kansas City area.
Preliminary tests have shown 12 people in Missouri have tested positive for the virus,and one一 a 75-year-old St. Louis woman has died.
Since Spring, zoo officials in Kansas City have tested blood from sentinel birds, such as geese, for signs of the virus, as well as vaccinated or protected those animals that might be vulnerable. No positive cases have
been reported at the zoo, said Kirk Suedmeyer, the zoo's animal health director.
But other zoos have had problems. The West Nile virus has killed three exotic birds at the St. Louis Zoo, officials there said Tuesday.
Test results are pending for about 20 other birds that died mysteriously.
mysterious. In Kansas City, three endangered Bali mynah birds and several magpie birds from Asia have been moved indoors, Suedmeyer said.
Extra precautions are being taken with the magpies because they are a close relative of crows and blue jays, which are among the birds that appear to be most vulnerable to the virus.
"Because the mynah's are endangered, we've moved them where we could house them in an area that's almost mosquitproof," Suedmeyer said. "We thought that was prudent."
vulnerable to the Vaccinations also have been given to all zebras, ponies, donkeys and mules this spring. And the zoo has given the equine vaccine to its flamingos and a snowy owl.
"We're just trying to stay a step ahead," Suedmeyer said. "We didn't know if it would work. But other institutions have tried the vaccine and it doesn't hurt the birds."
With two to three dozen blood tests still awaiting analysis at Cornell University, it's possible some zoo animals have already been exposed to the virus.
But zoo officials think they've headed off any serious problems.
"I think we've taken a reasonable and prudent approach to prevent it from happening here," Suedmeyer said. "So far, it's worked."
Vaccinations also have been given to all zebras, ponies, donkeys and mules this spring. And the zoo has given the equine vaccine to its flamingos and a snowy owl.

Dole Institute's new plans leave out some features
By Jenna Goepfert
Kansan staff writer
The plan for the new building that will house the Robert J. Dole Institute for Public Service and Public Policy excludes some amenities that earlier drafts included because of concerns that they would be too costly or excessive.
The 28,000-square-foot facility on West Campus is scheduled to open in April, but will not include an auditorium, reference room, photography darkroom or about $40,000 of cabinetry, features that earlier plans had called for.
The new building will give the institute more room for programs. The institute is housed at 704 W. 12th St.
"It was a luxury if you wanted it to be a public facility," said Richard Norton Smith, the institute's director, of the original plan.
Smith, a biographer of Russell native Bob Dole and his wife,
"I'm sure the programs there will bring people in to the building."
Burdett Loomis professor of political science
Elizabeth, and former director of several historical foundations, said he hoped the institute would be a national landmark.
The institute's exhibits will use Dole's life to illustrate history, Smith said, but the broader theme is service.
"We hope a lot of young people want to go into politics, especially in the wake of Sept. 11," he said.
Though the facility is not affiliated with any academic department, Smith said he eventually wanted to turn the building over for University functions.
"I'd like to see student government meet here, or any politically active group — KU Republicans, Young Democrats, KU Greens,"
he said.
The institute already has planned a series of events and speakers who will present Kansas history, including Gov. Bill Graves and all four living former Kansas governors.
Burdett Loomis, professor of political science, said his department had no immediate plans to use the building, but the school was planning a meeting about its future use.
"I'm sure the programs there will bring people in to the building," he said. "I certainly hope it's something that political science students will use."
John Scarffe, director of communications for the Kansas University Endowment Association, said the building would cost $10 million, including the expense of the exhibits. State funds would cover $3 million, and $7 million would come from private sources.
"We still need $700,000 to complete it, but more than half of that is for landscaping." Smith

The Robert J.Dole Institute for Public Service and Public Policy will use exhibits to show history through Dole's life. The institute is scheduled to open July 2003.

Smith said the success of the institute would provide KU with cultural opportunities and bring people to campus.

"This can mean one or two things," Appleby said. "There are more people that are commuting to campus, or more kids in the dorms ordered the pass through their options package and are realizing after the first week they don't need it."

of the program did not surprise her.
"I live at 31st and Iowa, and it's real easy to use if I miss the bus by my home," she said.
Appleby expects about 150 passes to be returned, and he said the waiting list was only 50 to 60 people long so far.
As an alternative, the parking department sells yellow passes for $85, which would allow a student to park in any yellow designated zone on campus.
"This pass does not come with a bus pass, but there are always yellow spots out on campus." Rita Jordan, administrative officer at the parking department said.
In contrast, Park and Ride guarantees a spot and comes with a bus pass for $130.
Those wanting to be on the waiting list for Park and Ride can go to the SUA Box Office on the 4th floor of the Kansas Union, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

"They're all so different, but in a way they're all the same," Canada said.
Erin wants to study ceramics. Katie and Stacy have identical schedules and haven't decided on majors.
The three have participated in different sports. In high school, Erin played golf and threw the javelin. Katie played softball and Stacy swam.
Greg Simpson, chairman of psychology, said the triplets' varied interests were not uncommon.
"As fraternal twins, they are much more likely to have distinct
personalities and abilities," Simpson said.
He said the triplets had an advantage if they wanted to move apart in the future. Because the triplets are fraternal, they won't have as hard of a time adjusting to separation. In some cases, identical twins can never be separated from each other.
The triplets said they were enjoying college life together and weren'tsure when they wanted to move in different directions.
"We're trying to break apart gradually." Katie said.

Murder suspectsane, DA claims
The Associated Press
SAN JOSE, Calif. — The defense of Cary Stayner, a former handyman on trial in the slayings of three Yosemite National Park tourists, was a smoke screen to confuse jurors, a prosecutor asserted during closing arguments yesterday.
Prosecutor George Williamson said defense lawyer Marcia Morrissey had to "blow smoke" because she didn't have any facts to support her claim that Stayner had been insane when he committed the crimes.
He said there was overwhelming evidence to convict Stayner of first-degree murder, which could bring the death penalty. The defense has argued for a second-degree murder conviction, which would spare Stayner from death row.
"It's not her fault she doesn't have a case," Williamson said. "What are you going to do when you come into court and the DA has three bodies and a cop-out you can corroborate 42 different ways?"
In her closing Wednesday, Morrissey argued that Stayner
had been psychotic at the time of the killings.
Jurors were expected to begin deliberations later in the day.
Stayner, 41, has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to murdering Carole Sund, 42, her daughter Juli, 15, and their friend Silvina Pelosso, 16, in February 1999, while they were staying at the motel where Stayner worked outside Yosemite National Park.
Williamson discounted the insanity defense as "goofy" and "loopy."
He reminded jurors that Stayner described his plans to
kill in detail during his confession to the FBI.
If Stayner is convicted of first-degree murder and at least one other felony, such as kidnapping or attempted rape, the defense will try to prove he was insane during a second phase of the trial.
If that bid fails, a third phase will determine whether Stayner should be executed.
Stayner is already serving life without parole after pleading guilty to murdering nature guide Joie Armstrong, 26, near her cabin in the park three years ago.
Man overdoses parents indicted for failure to act
The Associated Press
Trenton, NJ - A couple showed "conscious disregard" for their 18-year-old son by ignoring the heroin use that killed him, a grand jury said in a manslaughter indictment that legal experts say raises questions about parental liability.
Lawyers assist Moussaoui after recent plea change
The Associated Press
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Zacarias Moussaoui, who has derided his court-appointed lawyers as "blood-suckers," is working through an intermediary to get legal help from the attorneys he despises as he prepares for his Jan. 6 trial as an accused Sept. 11 conspirator.
Moussaoui, representing himself, changed his tactics
— but not his rhetoric — on July 25, after a judge refused to accept a guilty plea on his terms and made a trial likely.
After withdrawing the guilty plea, Moussaoui was faced with the realization that he had to prepare a defense for a case that could end with his execution.
Moussaoui said in court July 25 he would begin indirect contact with the lawyers but added: "It is most disgusting."
Since that day, motions by Moussaoui and the court-appointed team indicate the defendant has been communicating with the lawyers through a Muslim professor, Sadiq Reza of New York Law School in Manhattan.
Reza declined to comment on his role in the case.
"It appears that Mr. Moussaoui, without changing his view that we are adverse to him, will be seeking assistance from Professor Reza, who has indicated he will need assistance from us precisely in the areas related to our discovery (evidence) review," the court-appointed team said in an Aug. 16 motion.
A defense team motion a week earlier said Moussaoui "recently re-engaged communication" with the lawyers but did not want them initiating motions on his behalf.
Before the July 25 hearing
ended, Moussaoui told the defense team headed by federal public defender Frank Dunham Jr. that he was giving the lawyers their first assignment: find a man described by Moussaoui as a British agent and a conspirator in the Sept. 11 attacks.
"We're pleased to help him in any way we can and we will be out there looking for the witness as soon as he sends us the particulars," Dunham said after the hearing.
The lawyers and Moussaoui sought to preserve testimony of a witness who faces deportation from the United States. The lawyers sought a videotaped deposition but the judge went further, granting Moussaoui's own motion to postpone the deportation so the witness could appear in person.
Dunham wouldn't comment on other ways the team is working with Moussaoui.
Editor dies in 15-story plunge
NEWYORK — A business editor at The New York Times fell to his death from the 11th floor of the newspaper's Times Square office building yesterday in what police said was a possible suicide.
The Associated press
possible Myerson, 47, fell from the West 43rd Street building and landed on the roof of a garage.
Newspaper representative Catherine Mathis confirmed the death and said Myerson had worked at The Times since 1989. His title was assistant business editor/weekends.
"As with any family, we're called on to endure our share of tragedies," she quoted publisher Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr.
Police were investigating the circumstances of the death.
Myerson joined the Times after working for the Lexington Herald-Leader and The Dallas Morning News. He is survived by his wife, Carol Cropper Myerson, who works at BusinessWeek.
Criminal law experts said the indictment handed up Tuesday was "very unusual" because Mary and Lewis Hockenbury were not accused of selling or giving drugs to their son. Leonardo DiPasquale died of an overdose at the couple's home last year.
"Criminal law doesn't prosecute a failure to act. It only prosecutes acts," said George Thomas, professor of law at Rutgers School of Law in Newark.
Prosecutor Katharine Erickson said the Lebanon Township couple weren't presented as possible defendants to the grand jury.
"But after the hearing all the evidence jurors decided on their own they wanted to consider a charge of manslaughter against the parents," Errickson said.
the parent. The grand jury saw evidence of "conscious disregard" by the couple for their son, Erickson said. She did not elaborate.
The couple didn't return phone calls yesterday from The Associated Press, and prosecutors did not know whether the couple had an attorney.
The Hockenburys, who could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted, were indicted along with three friends of DiPasquale who are accused of giving him drugs.
"Criminal law doesn't prosecute a failure to act. It only prosecutes acts."
George Thomas professor at Rutgers School of Law
Erica Poch, 18, and Christine Curtin, 21, were also charged with manslaughter. James Bowkley. 46, was charged with drug distribution.
Sandra Guerra Thompson, a law professor at the University of Houston Law Center, said prosecutors would have a tough time proving the couple knew DiPasquale's heroin use would contribute to his death.
"Relatives living in the same home may have a legal duty to rescue each other if in trouble, like choking, for example," Thompson said. "But people who take heroin don't normally die."
In recent years, some states have passed laws that hold parents liable for a child's crimes. But Thompson said courts had consistently declared those laws unconstitutional.
Thomas said the case was especially unusual because DiPasquale was an adult when he died and presumably responsible for his actions.
However, Errickson said that made no difference in the case: "If he was a child, more charges could have been filed against the parents."
Before his death, DIPasquale himself had been charged with drug distribution for his role in the fatal overdose of a 17-year-old who also died last year after taking heroin.

U.S. allies decry Bush's claim that Iraq is a threat
The Associated Press
LONDON President Bush's latest jab at Saddam Hussein didn't get much public support from allies yesterday, and Russia challenged his view that the world would benefit if the Iraqi regime is toppled.
A day earlier, Bush said the United States is in no rush to go to war with Iraq, but he repeated his view that Saddam is a threat to world peace and should be removed from power.
The comments seemed aimed at calming speculation about a military confrontation, but the reaction yesterday underlined the deep-seated doubts and
opposition that Washington faces in its stand against Iraq.
In Moscow, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Trubnikov called the idea of an attack on Iraq "unacceptable," and he said his country did not agree Saddam should be ousted. On Monday, Russia confirmed it was talking with Iraq about a 10-year trade agreement.
Even Britain, Washington's closest ally in confronting Iraq, held back. British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw reiterated Thursday that military action remained an option, but he told British Broadcasting Corp. radio that the government's policy was to pressure Saddam
into anwing the resumption of U.N. weapons inspections in Iraq.
Many U.S. allies say they are not convinced the Iraqi leader poses an imminent danger.
German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder has said he would not send troops to what he called an "adventure" in Iraq. Germany and Canada both sent soldiers to Afghanistan.
Other European allies have been noncommittal, while some Middle Eastern states have said they oppose or have serious doubts about fighting Saddam now.
Palestinian groups meet,attempt to unify
The Associated Press
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip The Palestinian Authority's security chief met with 12 rival Palestinian factions yesterday in a new effort to forge a united front and get militant groups to stop bombing and shooting attacks in Israel.
But the meeting ended with no apparent progress, and the radical group Hamas reiterated its opposition to a cease-fire.
Security chief Abdel Ruzel Yehileh left after three hours, refusing to talk with reporters.
Other participants said the meeting had been tense and no agreement was reached.
Yehiyeh is trying to get the radicals to accept a common Palestinian manifesto that could form the basis of peace negotiations with Israel. The Palestinian talks broke down earlier this month after Hamas and Islamic Jihad vetoed clauses calling for an end to attacks within Israel and implying recognition of Israel.
The original draft called for the establishment of a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza
Strip and east Jerusalem, meaning acceptance of Israel within the borders preceding its occupation of those territories in the 1967 Mideast War.
A Hamas delegate to the new round of talks in Gaza City said before the meeting his group remained adamant in its objection to that plan and in its demand that all of historic Palestine should be in Arab hands.
"We are going to repeat our opposition and explain why." Mohammed Zahar said.
Rainforest in Brazil declared national park
The Associated Press
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — A northern swath of Amazon rainforest bigger than Maryland and likely containing a treasure trove of undiscovered animal, insect and plant species became the world's largest tropical national park yesterday.
President Fernando Henrique Cardoso signed a decree creating the Tumucumque (too-moo-koo-MAH-kee) Mountains National Park covering a virtually uninhabited region of virgin rainforest in Amapa state, along Brazil's northern borders with Surinam and Guyana.
Tumecumaque, which means "the rock on top of the mountain" in the language of the Apalai and Wayana Indians, covers 9.6 million acres of forest-blanketed
mountains with granite outcroppings rising up to 2,300 feet above the forest canopy.
"With the creation of Tumucumaque Mountains National Park, we are ensuring the protection of one of the most pristine forests remaining in the world," Cardoso said.
"Plants and animals that may be endangered elsewhere will continue to thrive in our forests forever."
Cardoso also signed several laws regulating the use of genetic material gathered from Brazil's plant and animal species.
The move is one of several environmental measures the government is preparing ahead of the World Summit on Sustainable Development, which starts Monday in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Statue honors Irish rebel as his reputation soars
The Associated Press
CLONAKILTY, Ireland Eighty years after former comrades assassinated Michael Collins, the pragmatic rebel mastermind of Ireland's fight for independence was honored yesterday with his first public statue a measure of how long it has taken for the wounds of civil war to heal.
Senior figures from Ireland's two major parties, drawn from opposite sides of that brutal 1922-23 conflict, joined more than 5,000 visitors and the actor Liam Neeson to unveil a bronze likeness of Collins in Clonakilty, his home village in West Cork.
"In Collins's day the buck always seemed to stop with him. He is my hero. He still inspires me," said Neeson, the Northern Ireland-born star who portrayed the Irish Republican Army commander in the 1996 film
"Michael Collins."
Historians and politicians increasingly laud Collins, who was killed Aug. 22, 1922, in a roadside ambush. Aged just 32 but already a general, he commanded the army of the fledgling Irish Free State.
"He was the George Washington of Ireland," said Tom Morrissey, a retired American policeman who led U.S. fund-raising efforts for the 12-foot, $100,000 Clonakilty monument. "It's crazy that he's never had a proper statue before."
All sides agree Collins helped organize the Irish Republican Army into an effective guerrilla force in the 1919-21 war of independence against Britain. He became an expert intelligence gatherer, directing a wave of assassinations of senior police agents in Dublin.
But Collins was branded a traitor by hard-line colleagues
when he accepted a 1921 treaty with Britain that stopped short of independence but laid foundations for the modern Irish state. Collins famously conceded that by signing the document, "I may have signed my own death warrant."
His political nemesis, Eamon de Valera, led IRA die-hards against the treaty. In a cutthroat civil war, Collins' Free State Army crushed the anti-treaty faction, but de Valera survived to become Ireland's dominant politician of the 20th century — prime minister or president for most years from 1932 to 1972.
Ireland remains divided between fans of the practical Collins, whose pro-treaty colleagues founded the declining Fine Gael, and admirers of the intellectual, uncompromising "Dev" — whose Fianna Fail party is the perennial vote-winner. The new Fianna Fail leader,
Prime Minister Bertie Ahern, backed the Collins statue project.
"You'd never have had this statue put up while Dev was alive," said Dan O'Riordan, who traveled Thursday from a nearby village to join the pro-Collins crowd. "And I'd put good odds on somebody trying to tear it down again."
De Valera suppressed efforts to mark Collins' contribution to the Irish Free State, which de Valera rechristened "Eire" in a 1937 constitution. Twelve years later the state broke all ties with Britain and declared itself a republic.
Collins' reputation has soared with the past decade's peacemaking in Northern Ireland, a British state forged at the behest of its Protestant majority several months before Collins accepted the 1921 treaty.

Recreation Services is renovating Shenk Complex, located at Clinton Parkway and Iowa Street.
Field renovations displace teams
Piles of dirt now sit where soccer and football fields once did.
Recreation Services is renovating the Shenk Complex, located at Clinton Parkway and Iowa Street. The renovations will improve irrigation and drainage of the land.
"We're renovating so we can have better quality fields," said Betsy Lafferty, intramural director.
The new fields will be ready for Fall 2003 intramural games.
Soccer games will take place at the field between Robinson and the Computer Center on Sunnyside Avenue. Football teams will play at the north end of Shenk Complex where repairs are not underway.

ing, new sidewalks to provide access to restrooms, and a paved drive and parking lot on the south end of the complex.
Recreation Services made the decision to repair the Shenk Complex as part of the project for the new Student Recreation and Fitness Center currently under construction.
The project costs $150,000. Funding comes from the $17 million budget for the new recreation center.
Director of Recreation Services Mary Chappell said the expense was necessary
Athletes do not believe the changes will pose any problems for intramural games.
She said the fields were unfit for play after rain storms because of drainage problems. A new trickle channel will control water run-off.
Lafferty felt confident that intramural participants will not face many difficulties in planning or playing fall sports.
"Problems we may face will be worth it for what we'll have next year," Lafferty said.

Rim Rock course grows through work of runners
Justin Schmidt
Kansan sports writer
Iron silhouettes of legendary Kansas runners welcome visitors to Rim Rock Farm, the home of the Kansas cross country teams. But it is not only the home of the Hawks, it was built by them, too.
"Our goal was to develop Rim Rock into one of the best courses in the country," said Bob Timmons, Rim Rock owner and former Kansas cross country coach.
Timmons has achieved his goal.
"Everyone who runs it calls it the hardest course in the nation." John DiCagolo, junior runner, said.
After the 1998 NCAA Championships were held at Rim Rock, Timmons surveyed runners and coaches. Timmons said many coaches felt Rim Rock was a great, but incredibly tough, place to run.
"It is very challenging," Doug Clark, Kansas assistant
cross country coach, said. "Oak Holler and Billy Mills Ascent are some of the toughest hills I've ever seen."
Timmons hopes Rim Rock will hold another national championship. Kansas has put in a bid for the 2004 NCAA Championship.
Timmons bought the land northwest of Lawrence in the mid-1970s to give Kansas cross country and track a place to train and compete. At the beginning of each of the 24 seasons Timmons' coached, his teams would go through a work week. In a typical day, the team would work twice on the course, swim twice, run twice, and eat five meals.
"I think the team enjoyed that week,team bonding took place,"Timmons said."When a team worked on it that long,it became very much their own.The more they worked on it,the more it became home."
Every Kansas invitational cross country meet since 1980 has been at Rim Rock, Timmons said. Kansas will
Bob Timmons owns and maintains the land at Rim Rock Farm, where high school and college cross country meets have been held since 1980. Sculptures of some of KU's famous runners were installed in 1997, including one of John Lawson, who won nationals in 1965. Timmons' first year coaching the team.
hold its first meet, the Bob Timmons Invitational, at Rim Rock on Saturday, Sept. 7.
Before Rim Rock, the cross country team's home meet bounced between several locations. West Campus was the home of the NCAA Championships in 1965 and 1966, he said. Timmons recalls having to find a new course because motorcycles and cars drove on and destroyed it.
Home meets were held at the Alvamar golf course, but that became a problem for both Alvamar and Kansas as golf became more popular, Timmons said.
The flat black silhouettes of former Kansas runners such as Billy Mills and Jim Ryun give Rim Rock its character.
"It's motivating just to be out there working out," Clark said.
Kansas practices at Rim Rock two or three times a month, Clark said. He said he believed the hill training at the farm was important for both cross country and

Bears present first test for soccer team
By Nikki Overfelt
Kansas sportswriter
The Kansas soccer team, picked to finish sixth in the Big 12 Coaches Preseason Poll and ranked sixth in the Central Region poll by online soccer publication Soccer Buzz, faces Southwest Missouri State in an exhibition game today at 7 p.m. in Springfield, Mo.
Since this is the team's first game. Coach Mark Francis believes that adjusting to the addition of new players and the switching of roles will be difficult.
"I think the toughest challenge will be, being so early in the year, everyone understanding what their roles are," he said.
"I think organizationally we are getting there," he said. "We are a long way from where we need to be, but we are a lot further than our first day of practice. That's progress and that's what we are looking for."
Francis also said that the second week of practices had been going well and the team had shown improvement.
"It's time for us to come together and show other teams what we have and what we are going to bring to the field this year," she said.
Brianna Valento, senior defender and co-captain, is very excited about the game, especially to see how the team plays together.

Midfielder leaves team
University of Kansas officials announced Tuesday that Pardis Brown, defender midfielder for the women's soccer team, will not play her senior season because of reoccurring concussions.
Her seventh concussion occurred about three weeks ago while playing for the Kansas City Mystics, a National Soccer League team. Brown said she was having a hard time with not being able to compete anymore.
"I'm disappointed," she said. "It (her senior season) just doesn't feel complete. Going from being a captain to not playing at all is really hard."

Hill's gone Gasaway is football's leader now
Senior wide receiver Harrison Hill is gone now, a victim of chronic dehydration.
It's a team short on talent, and in recent years, even shorter on common sense.
When Kansas football lost a player with a little bit of both, it might have been a devastating blow.
Hill was a leader and arguably the Jayhawks' best player. And most importantly, while his teammates were getting lodged in drive-thru windows and stealing purses from beauty queens, Hill, like most people on campus, stayed out of trouble.
Now, it's up to Byron Gasaway to lead the receiving corps.
The 6-foot-3, 210-pound wideout has what it takes to step in and be the leader this team so desperately needs.
"We have high expectations for him," first-year coach Mark Mangino said. "We need him to get out there and get it done for us."
Mangino made those comments on Aug. 9, two days before the abrupt ending to Hill's sixth and final season at Kansas. Can you imagine how much芒因 needs Gasaway now?
High expectations are nothing new for the senior. They've followed him for years, but in the recent past, the Grandview, Mo., native has struggled to live up to them.
"The expectations are always kind of big." Gasaway said. "Especially coming from a small town like Grandview."
Whether it was jaw-dropping. 75-yard touchdown runs, spectacular rim-shaking dunks or seemingly unfair 100-meter dashes, Gasaw was simply outstanding during his prep playing days.
He could have starred in baseball, too, had there been enough time in his schedule.
But football was Gasaway's passion, and Kansas was where he wanted to go.
He showed Jayhawk faithful a hint of his potential early, when he caught a game-tying, 35-yard touchdown reception in his collegiate debut in 1998. The ball was pulled down in double coverage against conference foe Oklahoma State, but with Gasaway's size, hands and speed, the Cowboy secondary had no chance.
Gasaway ended his freshman campaign with 12 catches for 148 yards.
But then he broke his jaw in a nasty weight room accident before his sophomore season, and it's been downhill ever since.
Now, it's critical for a healthy Gasaway to be the star Kansas coaches say he can be. With Hill's departure, the offense that was so terrible last year has no proven upgrades.
Optimism always comes with a new coaching staff,but to be realistic,a lot of players Gasaway included need to have breakthrough years if significant improvement is going to be made.
Mangino didn't inherit much. The talent just isn't there, especially compared to several opponents the Jayhawks will see this season.
In terms of raw ability and athleticism, Gasaway may be the best player Mangino has.
"Players," Mangino says, "will live up to the expectations you set on them."
Kansas fans better hope he's right.

You'll get lots of practice at setting priorities this year. That's because there'll be a lot of changes, most of them affecting your home and career. These require a lot of decisions and some quick action. Big stuff could be involved. First, set your goals in writing. That makes everything else easier.
Aries (March 21 - April 19). Today is a 6 Some of your worries were unfounded, but others were valid warnings. You'll soon find out which are which. Proceed with caution.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20). Today is an 8 Your luck has just taken a turn for the better. Your popularity is rising, too. It's partly because others are having trouble making decisions and you aren't.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 7 For the next several weeks you'll be expected to have all the facts to back up your assertions. People will soon come to you with questions.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22). Today is a 7 You're entering a studious phase. Learning is easy for you over the next few weeks.Show how smart you are by using every moment wisely.
Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22). Today is a 6 You're going into a more materialistic, less playful phase. Don't worry: You'll always be playful. And for the next few weeks, you'll learn how to be practical, too.
Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22). Today is a 6 You may not think you're in control, but you're actually very important. You provide the common sense and the balance. Speak up!
Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22). Today is a 6 Time to get back to work. A deadline that seemed far away draws near. Don't let it wait until the last minute. Anticipate difficulties.
scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21). Today is a 7 You're moving from a rather stressful phase into a much more pleasant one. Your strength of purpose has been tested. Now, celebrate with friends.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21).
Today is a 7
You're entering an interesting phase. You're liable to be impatient with all the superfluous stuff. No more symbolism for you. Only substance. Only truth.
Today is an 8
Capricorn (Dec, 22 - Jan. 19).
Today is an 8.
You're feeling a growing impulse to break free. Better start planning a vacation. You've been good just about long enough.
2
P
Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18). Today is a 7
Mum's the word, especially about
money. No need to reveal where you got
it or how much of it you have left. Don't
put it all into savings, either. Set aside
enough for a treat.
CRA
Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20). Today is a 7 You're very creative, but you're not much for facts. You need a practical mate. Somebody nearby would work out just fine, and they'd be honored if you would ask (although you won't realize it at first).

K.C. wins first road game
The Associated Press
TORONTO (AP) — Carlos Beltran wasn't expecting much when he stepped to the plate against the Toronto Blue Jays' ace.
"Roy Halladay is one of the best pitchers in the league today." Beltran said. "I wasn't looking to hit the ball out. I just wanted to put good wood on it and it went out."
Beltran's three-run homer in the fourth inning helped lead the Kansas City Royals to a 7-4 win over the Toronto Blue Jays yesterday, capping their first winning
road trip of the season.
"We haven't won many games on the road; so it was nice," closer Roberto Hernandez said. "I was very impressed with the way we played today.
Kansas City, 20-46 on the road this season, went 4-2 on the trip to Tampa Bay and Toronto.
"It wasn't going to be easy with Halladay out there. He's one of the top three pitchers in baseball."
Halladay (14-6) gave up seven runs and 10 hits in 5 2-3 innings. He had allowed more than three
"It's frustrating." Halladay said. "It's one thing to get beat. It's another to get beat like that."
runs just once in 11 previous starts.
Beltran blew open a five-run fourth inning with his 20th homer to become the first player in club history to have three seasons with 20 homers and 20 stolen bases. He went 2-for-4 with three RBIs and a walk.
Shawn Sedlacek (3-3) won despite allowing four runs and five hits in five innings. Hernandez pitched a perfect ninth.
Surprise matchups likely
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — A glance at the U.S. Open draw can spur excitement about potential matchups down the road: a Pete Sampras vs. Andy Roddick quarterfinal; an Andre Agassi vs. Lleyton Hewitt semifinal; and a Serena Williams vs. Venus Williams final.
There also can be intrigue in early action, as U.S. Fed Cup captain Billie Jean King noted Wednesday when glancing at the possible second-round matchup between Anna Kournikova and Alexandra Stevenson: "We're going to see which one struts more."
And there always are unseeded players capable of knocking off a star.
One example this year is Greg Rusedski, the 1997 U.S. Open runner-up, who could face top-ranked and defending champion Hewitt in the second round.
"In the past 12 days, I've won a tournament and beaten the top three players in the world." Rusedski said. "So I have to think that not too many people will want to see my name in the first round of the U.S.Open."
Rusedski is ranked 33rd — highest of the unseeded men—and used his serve to beat each of the top three players in the rankings on hard courts this month. He upset Hewitt en route to the title at Indianapolis last week.
Two other unseeded players with big serves who could pull a surprise or two are 1996 Wimbledon champion Richard Kraijeck and Wayne Arthurs.
Krajicek is working his way into shape after a long layoff because of elbow surgery. A quarterfinalist in three of the past four Opens he's played, Krajicek could upset No. 14 jiri Novak in the first round and wind up facing Hewitt in the fourth.
Arthurs was drawn to play No. 7 Juan Carlos Ferrero, the French Open runner-up, in the first round. Arthurs' list of upsets in Grand Slam play is impressive: Roddick in the first round at the French Open, Novak in the second round at Wimbledon and Gustavo Kuerten in the first round of the 2000 U.S. Open, when Kuerten was seeded No. 2.
Sampras has won the Open four times and was a finalist the past two years. But thanks to a title drought that extends to July 2000, he is seeded just 17th and his possible opponents include 15th-seeded Guillermo Canas in the third round. No.3 Tommy Haas in the fourth, followed by either No.5 Tim Henman or No.11 Roddick. And that's just to get to the semifinals.
The year's last major tournament starts Monday, and the Williams sisters will be expected to meet in a Grand Slam final for the third straight time. Serena beat Venus at the French Open and Wimbledon.
The top-seeded Serena pulled out of a tournament last week because of left knee tendinitis and probably will benefit from avoiding top players until later rounds. Her first match is against wild-card entry Corina Morariu, an accomplished doubles player who recently returned to action after fighting leukemia since May 2001.
MLB owners present new plan
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Trying to spark talks, baseball owners presented a new revenue-sharing deal to the union, calling the offer a significant step toward what players want.
ine proposal, made Tuesday night and disclosed Wednesday, was much better received than management's luxury-tax plan last week, which was so far from what players would accept that they set an Aug. 30 strike date.
Revenue sharing among teams and a luxury tax on high payrolls to slow salary increases are the chief issues that could lead to baseball's ninth work stoppage since 1972.
Rob Manfred, management's top labor lawyer, said the revenue-sharing plan was a "substantial move toward the union both in structure and in transfer amount."
He wouldn't disclose details of the proposal, but another person familiar with the plan, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said it would transfer about $270 million, $12 million less than management's previous offer. Manfred said the next move is up to the players.
enue sharing, but it takes two parties to have a dia logue."
"I am frustrated a little bit," he said. "I'd like to get a more active dialogue going on the tax and the rev-
Union lawyers said the proposal was a move in the right direction, but they wouldn't agree the shift was "substantial."
"We will respond to their proposal on revenue sharing in the very near future, more likely than not tomorrow," Gene Orza, the union's No. 2 official, said after Wednesday's second bargaining session.
In memos to players and agents last weekend, union head Donald Fehr said players already agreed to raise the amount of money to be transferred from high-revenue teams to low-revenue teams from $169 million to $255 million annually, using 2001 figures. Before their latest offer Tuesday, owners had proposed $282 million be transferred.
Meanwhile, a management lawyer sent a ninepage memo to team executives to prepare them for a strike. The memo to chief financial officers, general managers and assistant general managers urged them to make plans to cut expenses.
"All operations should be carefully reviewed with an eye toward reducing overhead costs during the strike," said the memo, written by Frank Coonelly, a lawyer in the labor relations department of the commissioner's office.
FOOTBALL
FHSU players sick unknown illness to blame
HAYS — A fourth Fort Hays State football player was hospitalized with the mysterious ailment that also sickened 21 other players and two coaches, a hospital official said yesterday.
The football team ran through a light practice yesterday morning, as officials searched for the cause of the illness.
"This has been an unsettling situation as we wait for a clear diagnosis," said Herb Songer, the university's vice president of student affairs. "Throughout this situation, our primary concern has been and continues to be the health of these young men."
All four players were listed in fair condition at Hays Medical Center. A hospital spokesman declined to release names.
Seminoles ready for season-opener game
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida State practiced in shorts for an hour yesterday, before flying to Kansas City for Saturday's season-opener against Iowa State.
The third-ranked Seminoles worked in special teams and against teammates, impersonating Iowa State's plays and formations during practice. Coach Bobby Bowden called it a typical Thursday pre-game session.
"We've done all we can do," Bowden said. "We'll have a very light practice on Friday, have our meetings, then play the game and we'll find out what we've got."
The team said only two players, wide receiver Lorne Sam and nose guard Jeff Womble, would be not able to play Saturday. Sam has a shoulder injury. Womble is serving a one-game suspension, but probably wouldn't have played Saturday anyway because of an injury.
Backup quarterback Adrian McPherson probably will not play because of a sprained ankle, but is expected to dress for Saturday's game.
Bowden also announced yesterday that offensive guard Milford Brown, who was ruled ineligible by the NCAA on Wednesday, would be able to retain his scholarship at the school.
"I'm hoping he'll stay here and get his degree," Bowden said, "We want to see him graduate. He's still got a great future. It's just not helping us this year."

Volleyball scrimmage to serve as tune-up
Jason Hwang
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas volleyball team has just one chance to gain game experience before the regular season begins.
Students and fans can catch the first glimpse of the team in the annual Crimson and Blue Scrimmage at 7 p.m. tomorrow in the Horeisi Athletics Center.
"The kids are looking forward to it," coach Ray Bechard said. "This gives a quick look for the folks to start their Saturday night with a little volleyball action."
The game also gives athletes a chance to prepare for game competition.
"It will be good to get the jitters out," junior outside hitter Abbie Jacobsen said. "We hope to put it together like a game situation."
Bechard said this scrimmage, unlike two-a-day practices, gives the team an opportunity to be in game-like situations.
"We are going to treat this more like a match." Bechard said.
"Everything will be set up like a match. Sometimes athletes react differently to a match than practice."
Beachard said the scrimmage would be three or four 30-point games. An alumni game will precede the scrimmage at 6 p.m.
"It'll be relatively fun to see former players back in Lawrence,"
Bechard said. "It will be some what casual, but I bet some alumni may treat it as a pretty competitive match."
Beachard said he is thankful for the alumni who helped his Kansas coaching career take off,

Bronco downplays injury
The Associated Press
DENVER — Although he was out of pads again on Thursday, Denver Broncos placekicker Jason Elam said he's not concerned about his strained hamstring, an injury he's had on several previous occasions.
"I've always bounced back pretty quick," Elam said. "I feel like I'm a pretty quick healer. So I really don't think it's going to be a big deal.
"I did it to the same hamstring about four years ago, and I played the next week. This one doesn't feel as bad as that one did."
Elam's availability for Saturday night's game against the Arizona Cardinals was uncertain.
The Broncos medical staff is
"I did it to the same hamstring about four years ago, and I played the next week."
Jason Elam Denver Broncos' placekicker
listing him as day-to-day
Elam said he was "doing all the rehab I can to get the knot out. It's feeling better, but I haven't even tried to take a practice swing yet."
Coach Mike Shanahan had no clue.
"I have no idea when it comes to kickers," he said. "I don't have much of a background there. When you tweak a hamstring on a
kicking leg, I'm not sure exactly what it's all about.
"When he tells me he's ready to go, we'll let him go. If he feels like he can't go and there's a chance of him injuring it, then we'll go in another direction."
Free agent Ola Kimrin handled the placekicking chores in Monday night's 12-7 loss to San Francisco.
"It was weird because I didn't even have any tightness or soreness all the way through training camp," Elam said. "I had a really good warmup Monday night.
"When they were introducing Terrell (Davis), I went out there and did about seven or eight kickoffs. I thought I'd do one more. I didn't even kick it.
Howell holds lead at Reno-Tahoe Open
The Associated Press
RENO, Nev. — Charles Howell III birdied three of his first four holes Thursday and shot a 7-under 65 to take a one-stroke lead after the first round of the $3 million Reno-Tahoe Open.
John Rollins, J.L. Lewis and Tom Pernice Jr. had 66s on the 7,472-yard Montreux Golf & Country Club course.
Ben Crane, Luke Donald,
Steve Allan, Eduardo Herrera,
Jonathan Kaye and Boo Weekley
all were at 67. A large group at 68
included former PGA champions
Mark Brooks and Bob Tway,
along with Duffy Waldorf, Woody
Austin, Spike McRoy, Boo Weeklev
and Gary Nicklaus.
Lewis birdied his last four holes, missing a 20-foot eagle putt that would have secured a share of the lead on his last, the 616-yard, par-5 ninth. Pernice got to 6 under after he hit his second shot within 2 feet on the 491-yard, par-4 14th.
Armed with a new Big Bertha II driver, Howell shot a 5-under 31 on the front nine of the mountain course on the edge of the Sierra. He said he had some difficulty reading the undulating greens but still managed seven birdies in his bogey-free round.
Vina followed with the double to right to end Williams' Pittsburgh-record
saves streak at 16, and keep the Cardinals five games ahead of second-place Houston in the NL Central.
Gabe Molina (1-0) pitched a scoreless ninth to earn the victory, the Cardinals' 12th in their last 15 and third in the four-game series with the Pirates.
Brian Giles hit his 52nd homer and Aramis Ramirez also homeered for Pittsburgh.
With the Cardinals down 4-2, Tino Martinezled off the ninth with a double off closer Mike Williams (1-5), and scored on Edgar Renteria's single. One out later, Renteria advanced to third on pinch-hitter Miguel Cairo's single.

A tremendous amount of work goes into maintaining Rim Rock. Timmons said he enjoyed his time working at the farm to prepare it for races.
"All the work is something I don't dread doing at all," Timmons said. "It's more than a hobby, right now it's my only job."
Runners appreciate the work Timmons does to maintain the course.
"Coach Timmons has put so much into it," said Eve Lamborn, senior runner and former Kansan staff member. "We always know we have a place to run."
Timmons said he and three to four farm hands mow all of the open fields at Rim Rock in early June. Then the course must be mapped out and mowed short.
Improvements are always being made on the course, Timmons said. He has overseen the construction of seven

Those who have run on the course know how tough it can be.
"It's the hardest course I've ever run on." Lamborn said.

Kansas beat Southwest Missouri State twice last season, once in the fall and once in the spring.
"In the spring I don't think we played up to our full potential when we played SMS," senior defender and co-captain Nikki Wahle said. "We are very excited to get to play them again."
The Bears, coached by Rob Brewer,

One of their main offensive leaders is midfielder Katie DeCarlo, who led the team in assists, was second in scoring and was named to the MVC All-

On defense, the team is led by goal keeper Alexis Stormo, who was named to the MVC All-Freshman team last season and had a goalsagainst average of 1.41.
Kansas will be playing without sophomore defender Stacy Leeper, who is still out with back problems. Francis said Leeper was making progress and was able to do more this week. Sophomore midfielder Gabby Quiggle could be out with a pulled hamstring.

NYC firefighter, cop to coach NFL game
The Associated Press
HEMPSTEAD N.Y. — Firefighter Sterling Alves moonlights as a football coach for a very special team made up of his peers. On Saturday night, he'll work the sidelines with the New York Jets—and even get to call a play.
Alves already warned Jets coach Herman Edwards that he'll be ordering up a blitz against the New York Giants.
The Jets, who've had a strong involvement with New York area firemen since Sept. 11, invited the coach of the FDNY football team to act as an associate coach against their local rivals and NYPD football coach Pete Moog.
For Alves, it will be a bitter-sweet moment: 21 members of the FDNY squad, many of them jets fans, died during the rescue efforts at the World Trade Center.
"It's still an open wound, not only for the fire department's football team, but the FDNY as a whole," Alves said Tuesday. "We dedicated our entire season to them, but it has been very difficult to deal with as a whole."
Alves, 50, is a 23-year veteran firefighter who works with Squad 252 in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn. He also played defensive back, running back and wide receiver for the FDNY team before turning to coaching.
He said football means a great deal to New York firefighters — the Jets' unofficial cheerleader is "Fireman" Ed Anzalone, who works as a firefighter in Harlem and tiles up the crowd from a fieldside seat for home games.
"I think more firefighters are Jets fans than Giants fans," Alves said. "In my firehouse, I know
that is true."
Alves' unit arrived at the Twin Towers just after the first building collapsed.
After Sept. 11, the Jets made weekly appearances at fire stations throughout the metropolitan area. Their "Twin Towers Tuesdays" program featured players visiting firehouses and command centers every Tuesday, which is their off day most weeks during the season. The players held barbecues for firefighters and their families, signed autographs and handed out souvenirs.
Alves hinted he would present Edwards with a white fire chief's helmet. In turn, the Jets' coach said he'd consider putting it on.
"I might wear it on the sidelines — to protect me," Edwards said.
Moog, a detective, will work in the same capacity for the Giants. Moog, 42, a 21-year police veteran, coached his team to a 10-0 victory over the FDNY squad on May 19 at Giants Stadium.
He also will be calling a play.
"I'll have him diagram his favorite play, we'll name it and we'll call it," Giants coach Jim Fassel said.
Conducting the coin toss before the game with be Joe Morris, chief of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
Moog is with the NYPD Technical Assistance and Response Unit. He played for the police team for six years and has coached it for 15. Moog also played at Southern Connecticut State and Seminole Junior College.
Moog was at the World Trade Center on Sept.11.
Eagles' Cunningham calls it quits
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Randall Cunningham had a stronger arm than most other quarterbacks, ran faster than many running backs and kicked better than some punters.
But after 16 seasons of creating nightmares for defensive coordinators, the 59-year-old Cunningham will retire Friday night as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles.
He returns to Veterans Stadium, where he spent the first 11 years of his career and established himself as the best scrambling quarterback in NFL history.
"At the time he was playing, there weren't any quarterbacks that were running for so many yards. There weren't any quarterbacks who could do anything he was capable of doing," said current Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb, who is often compared to Cunningham.
Though he never played in a Super Bowl, Cunningham posted numbers worthy of Hall of Fame consideration. He is the all-time leader in rushing yards among quarterbacks with 4,928, had 29,979 yards passing and 242 touchdowns, including 35 rushing.
A second-round draft pick in 1985, Cunningham played in Philadelphia from 1985-95. He holds four team records, including most 300-yard passing games (13), most yards passing in a game (447 yards) and longest punt (91 yards).
Cunningham led the Eagles to the NFC East title in 1988 after a six-year absence from the post-season, and playoff appearances in 1989, 1990 and 1992. He was a backup to Rodney Peete in 1995, when the Eagles also made the
"It's going to be a very exciting and emotional moment for me," he said.
playoffs.
"It's going to be a 'wow moment for me because I don't know what to expect, but I just want to go back there and end it on a great note."
Cunningham first retired after the Eagles decided not to re-sign him following the 1995 season. He went home to Las Vegas, opened a marble business and served as a studio analyst for TNT.
But after sitting out 1996, Cunningham returned as a backup with Minnesota in 1997, and had his best season a year later. After Brad Johnson went down early in 1998, Cunningham stepped in, threw for 3,704 yards, 34 TDs and just 10 interceptions, helping the Vikings score an NFL-record 556 points and earn a berth in the NFC championship game.
He stayed three years in Minnesota, spent 2000 as a backup to Troy Alkman in Dallas and played for the Baltimore Ravens last season.
"Really, he kind of changed that position and added flair to it." Eagles coach Andy Reid said.
Cunningham credits much of his success to Buddy Ryan, who coached the Eagles from 1986-90. Ryan, a former defensive coordinator, didn't focus much on offensive game plans. Instead, he instructed Cunningham to just go out and make five big plays a game.
"Buddy allowed me a chance to do the things I did best," Cunningham said. "He simplified things and allowed me to do what it took to be the best I could be."
Cunningham brought a new dimension to the position with his mobility.
Colorado quarterback vows to stay healthy
The Associated Press
BOULDER. Colo. — Colorado quarterback Craig Ochs, who missed five games last season with a severe ankle sprain and concussion, promises he will start and finish this season.
But the Buffaloes, who turned to Bobby Pesavento in Ochs' absence last year, appear to be again well-prepared for any contingency.
Pesavento has begun play with the Arena Football League II's Cape Fear (N.C.) Wildcats, leaving seniors Robert Hodge and Zac Colvin as backup choices behind Ochs.
Camino (Calif.) College in 2001, has maintained an edge over Colvin, who started the first two games in 2000. But offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Shawn Watson said the 6-4, 215-pound Colvin is a strong competitor.
So far, Hodge, a 5-foot-11. 185-pound transfer from El
An elbow injury knocked Colvin out of CU's 28-24 loss to Colorado State in 2000, and he was pulled the following week in a 17-14 loss to Southern California.
He briefly transferred to Southwest Texas State, but returned to Colorado with the idea of playing tight end or wide receiver.
His transfer made him ineligible for the 2011 season, and an
injury forced shoulder surgery.
Watson said Colvin made a good showing during training camp.
"He has really tightened the race with Hodge," Watson said.
"Robert, because of Zac's performance, had to pick up his performance."
Hodge's game experience with the Buffaloes has mostly been on special teams.
He accounted for 3,616 yards, including 3,395 passing, and 30 touchdowns, including 26 passing, in his final junior-college season.
Colvin has completed 47-of-88 passes for CU, totaling 480 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions.
Both players say they have learned from Pesavento, who worked hard to prepare for the possibility that he would be called to replace Ochs.
"There's not a better story than Bobby," Watson said. "Everyone knew he knew his stuff and would get it done."
Watson said neither Hodge nor Colvin needs to be reminded about how vital their roles can be.
"What I see out of both of them is an understanding of how a backup quarterback can affect a football team," he said. "They prepare themselves as if they're going to have to finish."

OSU investigates harassment
By Brandi Ball
By Brandi B
Daily O'Collegiate via U-wire
Oklahoma State University
STILLWATER, Okla. - Following a sexual harassment complaint made by an Oklahoma State University athlete, the OSU athletic department has completed its in-house investigation of the allegations.
"We, in compliance with university procedures and rules, investigated the matter and included the university attorney's office, affirmative action office and the ombudsman," said Harry Birdwell, OSU athletic director. "We found no grounds for dismissal."
Matt Thomson, a member of the OSU men's track and field and cross country teams, made the complaint in late May.
According to Thomson, Catrina Acosta, OSU women's track and cross country coach made inappropriate gestures and comments toward him on several occasions.
Earlier this summer, Thomson told The Daily O'Collegian
Acosta began harassing him in March.
"My girlfriend dropped me off at the track one day, and the women's coaches were all standing outside," he said. "I stopped to speak to them and Acosta grabbed my ass."
Thomson said Acosta approached him in May, asking why he was ignoring her.
"I asked her why she couldn't act professionally, and it just blew up from there," Thomson said.
Thomson also recalled a time where he was finishing a workout session with some other runners.
"[Aacosta] asked, 'Can I go a few laps with you?'" Thomson said. "I told her she probably couldn't keep up, and she said, "That wasn't the kind of laps I was talking about."
According to Thomson, he and his teammates even changed their training times to avoid running into Acosta.
"There was always this sexual innuendo with her," he said. "It was a very uncomfortable environment."
Despite the allegations by Thomson, the athletic department's investigation did not discover any wrongdoings by Acosta.
"Our investigation did not find anything that constituted grounds for dismissal," Birdwell said. "But, we have taken disciplinary measures, which are, of course, a personnel matter."
Thomson said he, as well as his teammates, went through separate interview processes with Associate Athletic Director Dave Martin.
"During the interview, I was just asked about the events that led up to my complaint," Thomson said.
After the initial interview, Thomson said, he never heard from the athletic department again.
Birdwell, however, said Thomson was debriefed after the investigation, and the department "advised the student of the avenues he should take legally."
Nebraska followers look to Lord to lead post-Crouch Cornhuskers
By Wendell Barnhouse Knight Ridder Newspapers
Nebraska, after three decades of unmatched excellence and consistency, has become a religious experience for Cornhusker football fans.
This year, they'll place their faith in Lord.
Jammal Lord will replace Eric Crouch, last year's Heisman Trophy winner, at quarterback.
"After the first quarter of the first game, everybody will realize that Jammal Lord is the real deal," said senior I-back Dahrran Diedrick, last year's leading rusher.
Last season, Crouch was responsible for 48.5 percent of Nebraska's offensive production and led the Huskers to the national-championship game. Lord, a 6-foot-2, 210-pound junior, has a pedigree the size of Mini Me.
To make its option offense effective, Nebraska needs great
quarterback play the way the X Games needs daredevils. Diedrick led the Big 12 Conference in rushing with 1,299 yards, and Crouch added 1,115.
The Huskers averaged 5.6 yards per rushing attempt because when Crouch turned the corner, he was a threat to pitch or keep.
The indecision that imparts on a defense is crucial to Nebraska's success.
All the Huskers say that Lord has the ability, that he might even be a more effective passer and scrambler than Crouch.
But going into Saturday's season opener against Arizona State in the Black Coaches Association Classic, Lord is the great unknown.
The last time Nebraska entered the season without an experienced starting quarterback was 1998, coach Frank Solich's first year. The Huskers finished 9-4 that season.
"We need Jammal to understand that he doesn't have to be Eric Crouch," Solich said. "The thing he needs to do is take care of the ball. One thing he does as well as any quarterback I can recall at Nebraska is once a play breaks down, he makes something out of it."
In his career, Lord has rushed for 213 yards and completed 14 of 24 passes for 181 yards. Despite his inexperience, the native of Bayonne, N.J., is confident.
"I don't feel like I'm going in cold because I've been playing football and sports all my life," said Lord.
If Lord struggles or is injured, there is no experienced backup at quarterback.
One candidate is sophomore Mike Stuntz, who threw the touchdown pass to Crouch on the trick play that helped beat Oklahoma last season.
The other is freshman Curt Dukes, who graduated from high school early and participated in spring practice.

'Simone' actress revealed
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — The movie's credits don't include her name, but Rachel Roberts, who plays the title character in Simone, can finally tell the world she's a flesh-and-blood star, not a pixel performer stitched together by some cyber-Frankenstein.
New Line Cinema kept Roberts under wraps for almost two years in hopes of building buzz that Simone was purely a computer concoction.
The film, opening Friday, stars Al Pacino as a washed-up director who creates a virtual actress that the public believes is real.
The truth is, Simone is both real and computer-simulated, but most of the character is Roberts, a Canadian model who has been on the covers of Vogue and Elle and appeared in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition. This is her film debut.
For months, Internet movie sites have named Roberts as the
actress playing Simone, but the film's production notes exclude her and describe the character largely as a computer amalgam of voices and body parts from other Hollywood leading ladies.
Simone's voice and body were augmented by computer with elements of other actresses, but Roberts is the principal source, said writer-director Andrew Niccol.
"Simone is 98.6 percent Rachel Roberts, and I use that percentage just because that's the temperature of the human body," said writer-director Andrew Niccol.
During filming last year Roberts was unable to tell even family and friends what she was up to. Roberts sneaked onto the set in wigs and other disguises and was known as "the stand-in" for Simone to much of the film crew.
The end credits list "Simone as Herself," with no mention of Roberts. While Pacino and other Simone co-stars did publicity
interviews in person, Roberts — in character still — prerecorded responses that were played for reporters on a TV monitor.
Concealing Roberts' identity as a marketing gimmick fit the themes of the movie, which satirizes Americans' obsession with celebrities, Niccol said.
It also brought home the point that Hollywood often fools audiences by tweaking images and performers with digital wizardry, he said.
"I alter real actors all the time," Niccol said. "You stretch them to make them look thinner or do face replacement on stunts. There's a lot of manipulation that goes on."
The secretiveness surrounding her first role may end up a blessing.
"I think it gets more press for me in the long run. Introducing a new actress is pretty commonly seen in the press, but you don't often see such mystery behind who the character really is," Roberts said.

Sophomore teammates ready to lead lacrosse team into winning season
By Steve Vockrodt
Kansan sportswriter
The University of Kansas women's club lacrosse team plans to have its best season yet behind a pair of returning sophomores.
Tasha Trella and Lindsey Johnson will try to improve on impressive freshmen seasons after both players earned team newcomer-of-the-year awards.
The team played to an 8-5 record for the spring season and finished 9-10 overall.
"I am so excited," Tella said.
"We have so much potential."
Trelfa entered the 2001-02 season with no previous lacrosse experience. She competed in several sports in her youth and focused on cross country during high school.
Trella said her sister's participation in lacrosse and her desire to try something other than cross
country prompted her to decision to play at Kansas.
Combining experience and skills from participating in basketball and cross country helped Trella adapt to lacrosse.
Dave Wiley lacrosse coach
"Tasha's endurance is key to our transition offense and defense, which was previously a weak link," said coach Dave Wiley.
Furthermore, Trelfa said her basketball experience assisted her with teamwork, discipline and organization on the playing field. Despite a lack of experience, she earned a starting role.
Trelfa's scoring efforts last sea
son placed her fourth in Jayhawk history for single-season scoring.
The summer break hardly kept Trella out of action.
A two-goal effort against Truman State in the first half was a key in establishing her position as a prime player on the team.
"She can score and also draw defenses away to get others to score."
She participated in a summer league in Colorado that allowed her to hone her skills against Division I athletes.
"It was interesting." Trelfa said. "Colorado has a different intensity."
Wiley said her play in Colorado allowed her to develop a better shot and more confidence, which he hopes results in more goal scoring chances.
Johnson's aggressiveness helped her shatter the KU single-season goal-scoring record in her debut year with forty-three, surpassing the previous record by twenty.
Kansas traditionally relies on
defensive play, and the addition of Johnson's scoring instinct allowed the team to take the offensive. Wiley said.
"Lindsey took the pressure off the defense," Wiley said. "She can score and also draw defenses away to get others to score."
Wiley predicts Johnson's offensive threat will force other teams to place greater attention on her, which should result in more goals for Trelfa.
The team will field several experienced seniors to compliment the pair of sophomores, as the team will try to achieve the first winning season in school history.
Football picks
The lacrosse team will kick off team training with its first practice Sept. 15.

Schilling uses technology and uncanny control to dominate hitters
In 208 innings, the Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher has struck out 259 batters and walked just 20.
PHOENIX - While all of baseball worries about a strike, Curt Schilling keeps throwing them.
1"He has more wins than walks.
for God's sake," catcher Damian Miller said. "That's ridiculous."
Schilling always has been a power pitcher with pinpoint control, but his mastery of the strike zone has never been better. Over his last six starts he has 54 strikeouts and two walks.
"It's command," Shilling said. "Control is the ability to throw
strikes. In the big leagues, everybody has control. Command is the ability to throw quality strikes. And when you add preparation to command, good things will happen."
That command was on display as never before in the first four innings of Wednesday night's 11-2 victory over Cincinnati.
Schilling (21-4) threw his first 13 pitches for strikes. He didn't throw a ball until he faced the second batter in the third inning. Through four innings, he had a perfect game with 23 strikes in 26 pitches. In 23 of his 28 starts, Schilling has walked one or fewer batters. A 3-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio "is considered really good,"
Miller said.
Schilling's ratio is 15-to-1. Schilling has a compact-disc library of every pitch he's thrown to a major-league hitter.
His laptop computer is a const ant companion, and he studies every batter's tendencies over and over. He also has notebooks filled with records of opponent's ten
dencies. He even keeps track of each umpire's strike zone.
"We talk all the time about his preparation," Arizona manager Bob Brenley said. "I think he's even taken that to another level this year. He seems to be able to anticipate what hitters are going to do before they even get in the batter's box against him."

Police crack down on fake ID ring
By Michelle Burhenn Kansan staff writer
A 19-year-old University of Kansas student was booked into Douglas County Jail Tuesday on charges of manufacture and sale of false identification and possession of a false driver's license, a Kansas Department of Revenue Alcoholic Beverage Control official said Friday.
The arrest is the first after ABC agents began a crackdown on fake ID rings Tuesday in Lawrence, said Lisa Kasper,
director of communications at the Kansas Department of Revenue.
Nicholas Migliazio, Leawood freshman, was booked into jail at 6:40 p.m. Tuesday and was released about four hours later after posting bail of $1,250.
Kasper said agents often checked liquor retailers and bars, and from that the ABC had found fake ID circulation in Lawrence was increasing.
She said the numbers were typically higher in college towns and the ABC worked with restaurants, bars and liquor
retailers to track users back to their fake ID manufacturer.
"There usually is a middleman that arranges the sale," Kasper said. "What they usually do is make IDs from a lot of different states."
Manufacturing and selling is a felony charge, she said.
Possessing, borrowing or loaning a fake ID is also a crime.
"Students don't realize what they're jeopardizing." Kasper said. "It goes on your permanent record. Probably at the time it doesn't seem like it is as serious as
it really is."
ABC Director Robert Longino said in a press release that investigating the source of fake IDs was the most effective strategy to stop the increase of fake IDs in Kansas.
Kasper said she could not say how the fake ID ring under investigation worked, but the IDs could have been made locally or in another state.
The price of fake IDs, she said, generally varied from $80 to more than $100.
As a response to the increase in circulation, the Department of Revenue,
which operates both the ABC and the vehicle's division, is considering consolidating licensing operations.
"Applicants would bring information in and IDs would be manufactured at a centralized location," Kasper said. "They would look maybe more like credit cards. They wouldn't be laminated, which would make it really hard to have fake IDs in Kansas."

"I was deferred from the business school in April and not accepted until July." Joe Randall Olathe senior
According to the KU registrar's Web site, students have to have instructor's approval to add a class after Sept. 4. Some additional approvals may be required.
The requirements for Add/Drop approval from advisers vary between schools, and some classes require special permission or approval cards from the instructor or department. The approval cards cannot be used interchangeably with closed class openers, which are granted by instructors.
Requirements also differ between schools for drops after Sept. 26, and the last day to alter schedules in any way is Dec. 12.
Accounts will be credited for dropped classes, and bills are sent out for those classes that are added.
The registrar's Web site states students must update their addresses with the school in order for billing to be processed properly — bills sent to wrong addresses are still active and required to be paid.
Students can contact the closed class hotline for information about open classes at 864-4259 and the registrar's Web address is registrar.ku.edu.

Tom Bogardus plays the saw.
While seated on a bale of hay at the 22nd Annual Kansas State Fiddling and Picking Championship, the Lawrence
resident moved a bow across his flexible saw and played a high-pitched, vibratofilled version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."
"I've been fooling around at this contest for years," Bogardus said, "It's wonderful."
The folk music event, held yesterday afternoon at South Park in Lawrence, entertained more than 1,500 spectators with six state championship categories: banjo; ensemble folk singing; fiddle; flat-
pick guitar; mandolin; and miscellaneous acoustic instruments. Coordinators said 66 entries competed in the day's events.
The twangy tone of a steel guitar faded into a flute pipe solo as two stages occupied the lawns of South Park. Between performances, the distant sounds of impromptu jam sessions, located under nearby trees, provided interludes.

The show is the theatre's own production of the play on which the cult movie The Rocky Horror Picture Show is based.

"One of the first things our director said to us was, 'get over your bodies and get used to touching each other,'" Denton said.
He exemplified his nonchalant attitude by grabbing a cast mate's breast without either of them blinking an eye.

KUJH looks to occupy dead airtime
Kansan staff writer
By Jenna Goepfert
The University of Kansas and about 60 other universities will soon be scrambling to fill dead air on their campus television stations.
Conus Communications owns the All News Channel, a 24-hour news station with which KU had a license for broadcast. Conus sold its company
KUJH IV
rights to DIRECTV, a satellite television service, which means KUJH, the University's student television station, no longer has permission to use ANC programming.
"They're basically cutting us off on Sept. 30," said Gary Hawke, KUJH general manager. "DIRECTV doesn't want to have independent stations carrying what subscribers are going to buy off their satellites."
The University will still control Sunflower Cable channel 66, but at the end of September, the only programming available for broadcast will be that which KUJH produces.
Dick Nelson, professor of journalism and KUJH newsroom supervisor, said the format of the broadcast television class would not change, but it might be necessary to amend the local news schedule to accommodate new programming.
James Gentry, dean of journalism, said the school's next task was to find alternate programming.
"KUJH is a vital part of the future of the j-school, so obviously we're not going to shut it down." Gentry said.
Gentry said it also was difficult to find programming that could be easily preempted by a University broadcast.
"For most of these companies, it's not in their game plan," he said. "It sets a precedent for other markets."
All News Channel was broadcast for about 21 hours a day and KU newscasts, student-produced discussion forums and sports programs regularly interrupted the news. Hawke said.
Gentry said he and Hawke would meet today to discuss the station's options.
Both said they had considered CNN International, CNN Financial News, C-SPAN3 and several BBC broadcasts to replace ANC.
"Some of those stations charge for the system," Hawke said. "We paid a very modest fee to Conus to get 24-hour programming, but I think we can scrape up additional funds for that."

The Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition votes today on a proposed three-year contract with the University of Kansas.
Members can vote between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.at a table on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union.
Only members of GTAC can vote on the contract. Graduate teaching assistants who aren't members can sign up to join the coalition and then vote, said Robert Vodicka, graduate teacher in humanities and Western Civilization and lead negotiator for GTAC.
The proposed contract includes a provision that establishes minimum salaries for GTAs.

Lawsuit over gas explosions dismissed for improper filing
HUTCHINSON - A judge dismissed the $7.5 million lawsuit filed by mobile home park owners against the city of Hutchinson over fatal gas explosions.
Bob and Sue Kinder had sued the city through their company, Rednik Inc., which owns the Big Chief Mobile Home Park. The park closed in January 2001, after natural gas explosions killed two residents.
Reno County District Court Judge Richard Rome ruled Friday that notice of the Kinders' suit was improperly served to then-City Attorney Porter Brown's receptionist, no written notice was filed with the defendants before filing the suit, and the city had no duty to inspect for natural gas leaking from the Yaggy storage plant northwest of Hutchinson.
Rome also ruled that the claim is barred by the city's immunity under inspection issues covered by the Kansas Tort Claims Act. He also rejected the Kinders' claim that the city was liable because it issued a "certificate and release for environmental conditions" when the couple bought the mobile home park in 1996.
"We didn't think the case should even have been brought," said Ed Keeley, an attorney for the city's insurance company. "We didn't see anything in the petition they could recover. They never claimed the city
caused the explosions or the damage."
Convicted Kansas man found by Nebraska police
TILDEN, Neb. — A 63-year-old northwest Kansas man convicted earlier this year of sexually assaulting a 9-year-old girl has been arrested.
Carl Benjamin Alvis of Hays was arrested Friday by the Nebraska State Patrol with assistance from Tilden police, the patrol said.
After a state trooper saw the vehicle Alvis was thought to be driving at a motel in Tilden, he was arrested and taken to the Madison County Jail to await extradition to Kansas, the patrol said.
The state patrol had been contacted Friday by the sheriff's office in Ellis County with information that Alvis might be in the Oakdale, Neb. area.
Alvis was convicted there of the assault in February but was released pending sentencing. He failed to appear for sentencing April 15.
Alvis had been released while awaiting trial in November because he needed heart bypass surgery and Ellis County Attorney Tom Drees said he couldn't justify taxpayers picking up the cost of the surgery.
Alvis told the trooper he had been in Nebraska about three months and said he had been in Oakdale, Tilden, Neligh, Fremont, North Platte, Valentine and Plainview, Neb., the patrol said.
The state patrol was to contact law enforcement agencies in those communities about unsolved crimes, especially any sex crimes involving minors.
He may have used his brother's name, William Alvis, while in Nebraska, the patrol said.

Muslim group asks for help in investigating attack plot
MIAMI-A Muslim group on Sunday asked Gov. Jeb Bush to provide leadership in the investigation of a doctor suspected of plotting to blow up dozens of mosques and an Islamic education center.
Alfaf Ali, executive director of the state chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, also asked that the state provide security at mosques until the threat of more attacks has passed.
"We are really concerned about the safety of our children and the individuals that attend the mosques in
Florida," Ali said.
Robert J. Goldstein, 37, was arrested Friday and charged with possession of a non-registered destructive device and attempting to use an explosive to damage and destroy Islamic centers. He was being held without bail Sunday.
When police searched his home, they found a cache of up to 40 weapons, including .50-caliber machine guns and sniper rifles. They also uncovered more than 30 explosive devices, including hand grenades and a 5-gallon gasoline bomb with a timer attached.
Ali said Bush should publicly condemn the plot and be more involved in the investigation. The Muslim organization is trying to arrange a meeting with the president, he said.
A spokeswoman for the governor did not immediately return a call Sunday.
U. S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Special Agent Carlos Baixauli said Sunday that no new arrests had been made but declined further comment.
Goldstein has no listed telephone number and his lawyer did not immediately return a call Sunday.

KABUL, Afghanistan — Security forces discovered a suspected al-Qaida chemical laboratory in a Kabul neighborhood Saturday complete with explosives and suspicious documents, Radio Kabul reported.
The report said the laboratory was found in a house in the city's Wazir Akbar Khan neighborhood which was formerly occupied by the Saudi nongovernmental organization Wafa.
Wafa is among the organizations that the United States believes were connected to Osama bin Laden's terrorist network. Before the collapse of the Taliban, Wafa ran a number of operations in Afghanistan including food distribution and construction work.
Radio Kabul, which is run by Afghanistan's interim administration, said security officials found chemicals and explosives as well as documents which were not described.
two further details were available and it was unclear who occupied the house at the time of the raid. There was no immediate comment by officials on the report.

Celtic fiddler Natalie MacMaster of Nova Scotia talks to the crowd outside of the Lied Center during her performance Friday night.
Celtic ensemble opens Lied Center season
Celtic fiddle music drifted over the crowd of about 2,000 people Friday night at the Lied Center's Seventh Annual Outdoor Concert.
Tim Van Leer, director of the Lied Center, welcomed the audience to the center's new season and introduced the sponsors.
But Natalie MacMaster, a Celtic fiddler since the age of nine from Nova Scotia, was the real star of the show. Her quick fiddle rhythms stood out among her five-piece ensemble. The band's traditional and contemporary Celtic pieces got children and adults dancing.
Brad Weiner, Denver senior,
said this year's outdoor concert
was the best he had been to.
"I have been going to the outdoor concerts since I came to KU and there were definitely more people there than in past years," he said. "This was one of my favorite concerts ever and I can't believe it was free."

Mike Rundle, former director of the event and emcee at one of the stages, said the championships started as a Douglas County event during the Lawrence bicentennial and have grown significantly.

"They help encourage and perpetuate the preservation of folk traditions." Rundle said.
The competition encourages participation from younger folk musicians with its Youth Award, which recognizes outstanding performance from participants 16 years and younger.
Among the younger participants were the Mayhew sisters of Lawrence. The five sisters placed second in the Ensemble Folk Singing category.
Spectators of all ages filled South Park with lawn chairs and blankets.
KU students Natalie Morrell, Beloit senior, and Emily Ross, Columbia, S.C., senior, attended the championships after hearing about it from a friend who had attended in past years.

"Folk arts and arts, in general thrive in a grass-roots fashion in

Rundle said he hoped the championships would spread the interest of folk music.

Zeta Tau Alpha will recruit women this fall for new chapter at KU
By Todd Rapp
Kenzo staff writer
Kansan staff writer
A new sorority is coming to the University of Kansas, but it won't be going through formal recruitment.
"We do appreciate everything the University has done for us.Everyone has given us a fantastic welcome here at KU."
Zeta Tau Alpha Fraternity — a sorority despite its name — this fall will recruit women of all ages to be founding members of its chapter at KU.
Julia Hill, national president of Zeta Tau Alpha, spoke to recruitment participants Wednesday night about the colonization recruitment process and Zeta Tau Alpha's history and traditions.
Julia Hill national president of Zeta Tau Alpha
"We told them about our plans
to colonize a chapter at the University of Kansas," Hill said.
Emily Walz, Panhellenic Association Vice President of Recruitment, said Hill also spoke about Zeta Tau Alpha's philanthropy.
housing plans, and informational events.
Walz said that a new chapter will bring an excitement to recruitment and help alleviate overcrowding in chapters.
"All the sororities are excited," Walz said. "Every year new member classes are larger and larger." Walz said. "It will also appeal to a lot of people to be a founding member."
Four national traveling consultants will arrive in Lawrence
on Sunday, Sept. 15 to conduct the recruitment.
Jennifer Knapp of Kansas City, Mo., is the chapter adviser, and national consultants will rotate in and out of Lawrence throughout the year.
Additionally, alumni living in a 30- to 40-minute radius met with Hill on Thursday and volunteered to act as advisers.
Hill said the University had been very helpful in the colonization process so far and has guar-
anted Zeta Tau Alpha housing in three to five years.
"We do appreciate everything the University has done for us," said Hill. "Everyone has given us a fantastic welcome here at KU."

Redistricting plan ignores concerns and needs of students
Cutting Lawrence in half will cut student voices
This November you might notice some changes at the ballot box. If you live east of Iowa street you will be voting for a different set of elected officials than most of those who live west of Iowa street and south of 6th street. We're not talking about city officials, we're talking about United States Congressmen.
Every 10 years the districts from which the Kansas Representatives are elected are redrawn to account for the updated census. This time each of Kansas' 4 districts must be as close as possible in population to 672,105 while maintaining 'communities of interest.' Earlier this year a final plan was approved and ruled constitutional. November will be the first time many voters will notice that something has changed.
On the surface, the redistricting has had the direct effect of reducing the political base of the lone Kansas Democratic Congressman Dennis Moore. It would be easy to simply regard the redistricting as a partisan issue.
However, at its heart lays the utter disregard of those in government for students and their interests.
As students we represent roughly $25\%$ of Douglas County's population and as a group we share political, cultural, and social interests independent of non-students'. Political maneuvering is expected but the indifference towards
the University that we are witnessing now has become endemic across party lines.
Still, the supporters of a unified Lawrence are vast and have ranged from locals (including two KU professors and former Mayor Mike Rundle) to former Kansas Republican Party Chairwoman Rochelle Chronister. Chairwoman Chronister openly worried that "[t]o unnecessarily split the city of Lawrence into two parts, when other accommodations could be made, is also a proposal that I believe is purely political."
In essence, the new congressional districts state that residents of west Lawrence have more in common with Topekans than they do with residents of east Lawrence. This represents a divide between reality and political representation on a scale so outrageous that it is recognizable to the most casual visitor.
Other congressional redistricting plan would have maintained Lawrence's community interests, but in the end the most contrived was chosen. This redistricting represents yet another push to weaken the influence of students in Kansas politics
With a tuition hike already in effect, and no end in sight to the budget crunches, the University needs more representation, not less. When November rolls around it's crucial that we make sure that we don't take our community interests for granted, or Congress just might.

I get so tired of reading the Free for All and hearing everyone bitch about the Kansan and how ooh, there are no good articles or ooh, um, it's so hard to find the crossword puzzle. If you guys don't like the Kansan so much, throw it away and stop wasting our time when you do like the Kansan. How hard is it to find a freaking crossword puzzle, let's be realistic here.
I'm really glad to be back on campus and very thankful for KU info. it needs to stay, or where else would I get information like the location of the Yacht Club? Thanks, KU info.
First Management owns way to many buildings in Lawrence, and it sucks.
Eliminating the call-in portion of KU info, is one of the worst ideas I've ever heard. Just because you're the new vice provost of student support doesn't mean that you have the right to go around eliminating all of the great programs.
This is crap. If they stop the KU Info line, I'll probably have to drop out of school. I'll never be able to find anything that need.
When I was a kid, I wanted a bike, so every night it would pray for one. But it never happened. As I grew up, I learned that God doesn't always work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness instead.
Oh, wait a second, I'll call back.
How are they gonna be shutting down KU info? Man, that's wack.

PERSPECTIVES
Students remain top priority at KU despite 'the budget blues'
Welcome back! I have to admit this is my favorite time of the year. Lawrence is always a little dead in the summer, when students are gone, but always comes to life in August, as Lawrence landlords (including KU) throw out the welcome mat and collect your deposit.
GUEST COMMENTARY
PETER MILLER
Much has happened at KU since the end of the spring semester, not all of it positive. A new state budget was approved that reduced KU's funding by more than $7.4 million, and the governor recently announced "allotments" that reduce our state budget by another $2 million. In addition, the legislature did not provide raises for either faculty or staff. The next governor may be forced to impose additional reductions in January.
It's possible, but not easy, to manage this level of funding reduction. We are using a set of budget cutting principles that begins: "Students come first. Educating students to achieve graduation - while maintaining quality - is always the highest priority."
Robert Hemenway opinion@hansan.com
The sky is not falling at KU, but some outreach efforts will be affected, and students will see larger classes and fewer class options. Many people will be doing two jobs, but we will do all that is necessary to ensure that students have access to the classes they need and to the quality faculty they expect.
While the average resident undergraduate will pay $500 more per semester this year than last, you'll also begin to see benefits that make the tuition increase worth the cost.
Many of you are receiving a KU Tuition Grant, for example. As USA Today observed on August 7, "The University of Kansas is investing $1.5 million, or about 20% of the revenue raised by the undergraduate tuition increase, into need-based aid, the first time a tuition hike has included such funding."
All students will benefit in other ways. In the weeks ahead, we will announce a number of improvements (including online registration) funded by the $3.6 million increase in the technology fee). These should help KU pursue its goal of becoming one of the top 25 public universities in the country. Other enhancements from tuition will be announced throughout the year, and students will have a chance to identify needs for funding.
I appreciate the invitation from the UDK to offer a column each month, and I promise to write next time about something more interesting than the budget blues. If you have subjects you would like me to address, let me know by e-mail or letter.
Hemenway is chancellor.
Students can make a difference...get involved!
We as a KU student body have a lot to look forward to this year. We also have
many challenges ahead of us. With rising tuition costs as a result of continuous budget cuts, students may see larger classes, fewer class options and fewer student services.
However, we will still strive toward making KU one of the top schools in the nation. As we do this, we need to ask ourselves as students what we can do to help improve our University. If we ever hope to become one of the top universities in the nation, we must start thinking like one.
We, as students, can play a significant role in improving freshman retention, four-year graduation rates and minority retention and recruitment, among other issues.
We must first start by ensuring that the extra revenue from tuition increases is invested in enhancements to the University and not used as a substitute for
funds from where the state dropped the ball.
You as students should know where and how your tuition dollars are being used. A committee of students through Student Senate GUEST
is being established to work with the Provost and the Planning and Resources Committee, a university board that oversees the University budget, in order to address these issues.

A top university must also have an international focus and reflect the diversity of the people and ideas of the world. It is for this reason that the student body as a community should make strides to become more heterogeneous. The Senate is
spearheading an effort to get a new Multicultural Resource Center that is more visible and accessible for all KU students.
KU can establish itself as one of the premiere universities that prepares its students for today's evolving global community.
One of the biggest differences you can make is voting on November 5. The outcome of our state elections will have a great influence on the future of funding for higher education. The Student Legislative Awareness Board will be leading up a voter registration drive on campus for the next two months.
If you're concerned with any campus issues and want to get involved, the first step is joining a Senate committee. The first meeting will take place at 6 p.m. Wednesday, at the Ballroom in the Kansas Union. This is a great way to be part of the decision-making process within your University and play a role in making it one of the best in the nation.

Construction underway on church parking garage
By Aaron Passman Kansan staff writer
Students attending mass at the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center can expect aisle-side parking with the completion of a new parking garage scheduled for March 1.
The center began construction June 15 on the two-level parking facility. St. Lawrence's new garage, with space to hold 174 cars, will have one underground level and one street level. The parking lot currently has 98 parking spots. KU students registered with the center will be able to obtain a free permit to park any time at the center.
Father Vince Krische, center director, said the garage cost about $3 million and was paid for by parents, alumni and friends of the center.
Until completion of the garage, the center has set up a temporary lot, with space for 55 cars, on the grounds at 1435 Engel Road. Additional parking is available
on Sundays at the KU Visitors Center with a shuttle bus running to the center for masses.
Krische said that once he secured the necessary permits from the city, his next task was to inform the community of the expansion.
KOMATSU
"I think that every time you do something like this there's an obligation to inform the community of what you're doing," Krische said. "For the most part everybody has been very supportive of it."
Neither Krische nor David Dunfield, vice mayor of Lawrence, thought the new garage would cause an increase in traffic at the intersection.
Krische said some neighbors were initially concerned about traffic and safety concerns at the corner of 15th Street and Engel Road.
"Rather than causing an increase of traffic hopefully the garage will help solve some of the traffic problems at that intersection."

concerned about keeping everythings safe."
The intersection is one of the busiest in the area. KU buses regularly run students to and from the residence halls, and the intersection serves as a major trafficway, including frequent traffic going in and out of the center. The Lawrence City Commission agreed to look into possible solutions to traffic problems around the center.
"That's certainly not a great intersection," Dunfield said. "There have been a number of potential solutions talked about,
including a stoplight, roundabout, or even realigning Engel Road, but none of those have been decided upon."
Dunfield said the St. Lawrence Center had offered to donate land for a turn lane if necessary.

SUA puts on the ritz for party
By Nathan Dayani
Kansan staff writer
The decade of decadence was alive and well at the Student Union Activities" "Totally '80s Bash" Friday night, accented by flavored ice, music from Michael Jackson and the timeless party game Twister.
About 30 people attended the event on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union.
"It was fun," Karen Schraeder, Hutchinson sophomore said. "I wish more people showed up but it was really cool getting ready—going out and finding clothes and talking about everything that happened in the '80s."
Although the event was part of Hawk Week, it was geared for more than just freshmen and
transfer students, said Fallon Farokhi, Lawrence junior and president of SUA.
"It's kind of an atmosphere where students can let their guards down a little bit," she said. "It allows them to be a little more comfortable, so that when one of them sees another on campus they can lock eyes, smile and remember that 'Hey, you had the pink hoops on.'"
Farokhi said low attendance was mostly due to students partying off campus.
"The way we look at it, you can go anywhere in Lawrence and be in a house party," she said. "But where else can you go to an '80s theme party where you can win prizes and see your friends dressed up in August?"
The party featured a nostalgic
quiz show in which students recalled classic '80s movies and songs. Prizes included Pat Benetar cassettes, makeup and Pez candv
The bash concluded with a fashion show won by Sara Etchison, Hollyrood junior. Etchison, who sported a flowered shirt, blue jeans with a hole in the knee and neon blue-and-pink Nikes, said Cyndi Lauper and Barbie inspired her wardrobe.
Unfortunately for Etchison her childhood crush — Alex P. Keaton, Michael J. Fox's character on the '80s sitcom Family Ties, did not attend the party.

Denton has figured out how to juggle his busy schedule of going to class, working two jobs and being in two shows a night.
"I just don't sleep," he said. "I love it, I don't do anything I don't love."
Neither he nor Ashmore are strangers to the theater. Denton has been in University Theatre productions such as The Bartered Bride, along with productions of Tony and Tina's Wedding and The Sound of Music with Lawrence Community Theatre.
Ashmore has been acting since childhood, he said, and has been in University theater productions such as Two Gentlemen of Verona.
Denton said because the music from The Rocky Horror Picture Show had never been written down, his first experience as musical director was a challenge.

Denton spent about four to five hours transcribing each of the musical's 18 songs. Being the musical director as well as a cast member is not easy, he said.

He wears a full face of garish makeup, fishnet tights, knee-high stiletto boots, and more.

"Originally I was supposed to wear all-baring pants, but I didn't think I would feel comfortable," he said.

Boeing workers rally for better pay
The Associated Press
SEATAC, Wash. — Hundreds of Boeing machinists and union supporters rallied yesterday outside the hotel where contract negotiations are going down to the wire.
When negotiations resumed afterward at 3:30 p.m. PDT, Boeing raised its offer of a third-year wage increase to 3 percent from 2.5 percent, said Machinists union spokeswoman Connie Keilher.
"They just aren't listening," Kellher said, noting top issues of the 26,000-member Machinists union are job security, pensions and health care.
Some hard bargaining remains before Boeing makes its final contract offer tomorrow.
The current contract expires Sept. 1 for the union members, who work in Washington, Wichita, Kan., and Portland, Ore. Most of them build commercial jets for the Chicago-based aircraft and aerospace firm.
Then, on Thursday, union

members are to choose whether to accept it. If not, a two-thirds majority would be needed to approve a strike.
With picket signs and chants, supporters gathered yesterday at the site where talks have been going on since Aug.15.
"This membership has been hammered by layoffs," said Matt Bates, a Machinists spokesman at the rally. "The mood is grim."
Picket signs were plentiful: "My Dad deserves a good contract," "Where is my future?" and "Jobs for us."
Stan Hoit carried a picket sign
and a lot of bitterness.
"People feel really betrayed, really dejected," said Hoit, a tool-and-die maker who's spent 27 years with Boeing. "It's all about profits, short term. They've completely sold out to the stockholders."
For its part, Boeing knows that its customers are watching very closely, said Chuck Cadena, Boeing spokesman. They want to know they have a reliable partner and that the company is going to make rational decisions to provide affordable products and services, he said.
In the middle is Jeff Clark, a federal mediator called in to help narrow the differences.
"Both sides are working hard to put this together," Clark said, "but there are certainly a lot of difficult issues that have to get resolved."
The company's initial offer included a 6 percent ratification bonus and 2.5 percent pay raises in the second and third years of the contract.
Nebraska lawsuit costly for state
The Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb. — The State of Nebraska will spend about $3 to every dollar spent by opponents to defend itself in a lawsuit over the state's failure to site a low-level nuclear waste storage facility.
About half of the state's $21 million tab — an estimated $11 million — will be paid to two Washington, D.C., law firms, The Omaha World-Herald reported in Sunday editions.
Utility companies and the five-state compact that sued the state are expected to spend about $6 million, according to information compiled by the World-Herald.
The state had no choice but to mount a vigorous defense, Gov. Mike Johanns said.
About $5 million will be paid in attorney fees to two Nebraska firms.
A 1999 ruling by U.S. District Judge Richard Kopf made it clear he felt the state appeared to act in bad faith and the decision was determined politically in advance, Johanns said.
The comparison fails to describe Nebraska's situation, he said.
"Our attorneys had no choice but to try to literally take this apart piece by piece with the financial issues and environmental issues," Johanns told the World-Herald.
The trial has centered on Nebraska's 1998 refusal to license a low-level waste storage facility in Boyd County.
The accusation has been denied by Nelson and others, who said the license was refused because there is a wetlands on the site and the company charged with building the facility was not financially fit.
The five-state compact that sought to build the regional facility accused then-Gov. Ben Nelson of stacking the deck against the license and denying it for political reasons. The lawsuit was filed in 1998.
Washington's Collier Shannon Scott law firm was hired at Nelson's request to represent the state. Attorney General Don Stenberg said.
Closing arguments are set for Sept. 10, in the trial that ended July 31.
Stenberg said his office did not have the resources needed to
Reynolds left to join the Howrey Simon firm in 2000. He remained on the case with attorneys from his new firm and lawyers from Collier Shannon Scott.
Bradford Reynolds, a former assistant attorney general for civil rights in President Ronald Reagan's administration, was a lead litigator of the firm.
The Washington firms had six lawyers in the courtroom who were working full-time on the case during the trial. At least five others worked part-time on the case.
handle a case of this magnitude and the firm had worked with the state during the licensing process.
The compact's top two attorneys — Alan Peterson of Lincoln and Tom Johnson of Omaha — were paid $250 and $205 per hour respectively.
The state's top two lawyers — Reynolds and John Wittenborn — were paid $280 per hour.
At stake for Nebraska taxpayers is $200 million—the high-end estimate of what the state could be ordered to pay if it loses the case.

"Kansas values ethnic diversity."
Gov. Bill Graves
NATIONAL SOCIALIST MOVEMENT
Box 580899
Minneapolis, MN 55458
651-659-6307
Members of the National Socialist Movement hold a demonstration in support of "white unity" Saturday on the steps of the Statehouse in Topeka, Hundreds showed up to protest the group, which advocates white supremacy.
White supremacist rally meets with solid opposition
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — White supremacists shouted racist slogans and insults from the top of the State-house steps Saturday but were greeted by overwhelming rounds of protests, boos and jeers.
Twenty members of the National Socialist Movement, based in Minneapolis, Minn., held a "white unity" rally. About 50 supporters watched, mostly listening quietly with an occasional chorus of "white power."
But several hundred people protested. The NAACP and civic leaders had a counter-rally at a nearby state office building, but dozens were on the Statehouse grounds, holding signs, booing and chanting, "Liar" and "Go
home."
Two speakers held Nazi flags One held a sign saying, "Hitler was right." They gave the stiffarm Nazi salute and punctuated their speeches with shouts of "white power" and "seig heil."
Tied between the pillars was a banner: "Kansas values ethnic diversity." Gov. Graves."
Though tensions ran high, the day went largely without incident. There were only two arrests on unrelated outstanding misdemeanor warrants. Orange fences were erected to keep the opposing groups separated.
About 350 law enforcement officers, led by the Kansas Highway Patrol, patrolled the area.
After the rally, Matt Hale, of East Peoria, Ill., leader of the seg-
regationist World Church of the Creator, said organizers chose Kansas because they thought it fertile ground for their cause.
"It's the heartland of America." he said. "If our movement plays well in Kansas, it plays well everywhere."
Law enforcement officials estimated both groups numbered about 350; other estimates put the number of counter-demonstrators alone at about 500.
The counter-demonstrators were a diverse group, as noted by Harold Simmons, of Kansas City, Kan. president of the National Baptist Laymen's Movement.
Members of the NAACP and other groups mounted a counterprotest where love, tolerance and acceptance were preached.

VOLLEYBALL
Libero could free Kansas defense
By Levi Chronister Kansan sports editor
TOMMY HOGAN
Even though the Kansas volleyball team has five returning starters, some valuable new experience was gained in Saturday's Crimson and Blue scrimmage at Horejsi Family Athletic Center.
Kansan file photo
The scrimmage was the first chance most Jayhawks had to play with a libero - a new position added by the NCAA Women's Volleyball Rules Committee in February.
The libero is a back-row player who differs from a normal defensive specialist in that she cannot serve, attack or set from within the attack line. The player wears a different color jersey than the rest of the team, can't start but can join in on the first rotation and does not count toward a team's 12 substitutions each game when she leaves the court.
Use of the libero is not required, but Kansas coach Ray Bechard thinks the addition could benefit the team, which features experienced defensive specialists Jennifer Kraft, Jamie Morningstar, both seniors, and sophomore Jill Dorsey.
"You have a choice," coach Ray Bechard said, "but obviously, when you have people like we do who are good at those two skills then you take advantage of that. Their main objective back there is to pass and dig. It adds, we hope, a little more to the defensive element of the game."
Senior golfer Chris Marshall wants to improve this season and assume a leadership role as the only senior on the team. "I have a lot more that I can achieve," he said.
Dorsey played the position with her club team last year, putting her a step above Kraft and Morningstar in terms of experience.

Golfers tee up for season
Lone senior player on men's golf squad wants to lead team
By Ryan Greene
Kansan sportswriter
Last season was bittersweet for Chris Marshall and the Kansas men's golf team.
The team ended its 2001 fall schedule in November with a second-place tie at The Prestige at Palm Desert in Palm Desert, Calif. The squad carried its momentum into the spring season, finishing in the top eight in five of its six tournaments, including a win at the Stevinson Ranch Invitational in Stevinson, Calif.
Yet two 11th place finishes, one at the Big 12 Tournament at the Prairie Dunes Country Club in Hutchinson and one at the NCAA Midwest Regional at the Pleasant Valley County Club in Little Rock, Ark., kept the team from the NCAA finals.
Though the team ended the year on a sour note, senior Chris Marshall was named first team All-Big 12, as well as an All-American Honorable Mention.
Despite his success, Marshall wants to improve this season as well as assume the leadership role as the only senior on the squad.
"I feel like I have a lot more than I can achieve. My goal this year is to be first-team All-American," Marshall said. "Everything is within reach and I feel so close. I just have to put the grind on and
get a couple more wins."
Head coach Ross Randall also has confidence that Marshall can take on the position of team leader.
"I think he'll do great," Randall said. "His leadership will be by example and by hard work. No one on the team will work harder than he does. It's very important to him and he'll be just fine."
Marshall's off-season workload was limited because of surgery to repair a vein in his abdomen last week. He will be ready to resume practicing in a week to prepare for the fall season.
"This summer I took it really lightly, so I didn't practice as much as I normally do," Marshall said. "I took classes this summer so I can take four classes in the

Women's soccer team defeats SW Missouri State
Kansas sportswriter
By Nikki Overfelt
The KU soccer team defeated Southwest Missouri State, 1-0, in an exhibition match-up Friday night at Cooper Sports Complex in Springfield, Mo.
Monica Brothers, sophomore forward, scored the only goal of the game, off an assist from Holly Ryder, freshman midfielder, and Lauren Williams, sophomore midfielder. Meghan Miller, sophomore goalkeeper, and Sarah Gonzalez, junior goalkeeper, each played a half, both holding the Bears to a shutout.
Coach Mark Francis said the team's first performance went well.
"I think for the first game, we're pretty happy," he said.
Brothers was happy with her team's first game, but said she thought it could have done better.
"Our team played really well together, especially for the first game," she said.
'We should have finished more opportunities
We dominated the game, but the score was only 1-0. But other than that, we played really well."
Kansan file photo
Francis said some of the players are still learning their roles on the field, but said that overall he was pleased with their playing.
"Iindividually, I thought we had some good performances from people," he said.
Francis said it was encouraging to see the team's practice pay off.
After this exhibition game, he said they now know what they should be working on this week during practice in order to get ready for their next game.
The team will start its regular season with a home game at 4 p.m. Friday against UNLV and then will play host to Boston at 1 p.m. Sunday.

A rough year in the works for Kansas
If this weekend was any indication, it could be a long first year for Kansas football coach Mark Mangino.
After Saturday's showings by Nebraska and Iowa State, though, any offense Mangino creates for the Jayhawks may be a moot point if the Kansas defense can't learn to stop mobile quarterbacks.
A former offensive coordinator at the University of Oklahoma, Mangino is known for competitive and creative offensive sets that keep a defense off balance.
Not only did Jamal Lord and Nebraska steamroll Arizona State, 48-10, but Iowa State lost, 38-31, to No. 3-ranked Florida State University in a game that came down to the final play.
After a loss like that, it's hard to believe Iowa State won't be fired up and hungry for a victory in this weekend's home opener against Kansas. Throw in Iowa State associate head coach Terry Allen's familiarity with the strengths and weaknesses of the Jayhawk players and this could be an ugly Saturday for Kansas and its fans.
Seneca Wallace, whom Iowa State is hyping as a Heisman Trophy candidate, was 22-of-33 passing for 313 yards and two scores against the Seminoles.
He was just 5-of-15 passing for 89 yards and a touchdown in the Cyclones' 49-7 victory against the Jahayhaws last year, but that game was dominated by the Cyclone's rushing attack as they ran for 320 yards and five touchdowns.
Mangino and his staff will have a new defensive scheme this year and, presumably they realize the difficulties last year's squad had against fleet-footed signal callers, but there could still be major problems with basically the same players as last season.
In fact, it wouldn't be surprising if Wallace tripled his numbers against Kansas this year, considering how high his confidence should be after Saturday, especially if he wants to keep showing off for the Heisman voters.
Two other quarterbacks with penchants for calling their own number ran roughshod over Kansas last year.
Eric Crouch gained 49 yards on 13 carries and scored once in Nebraska's 57-10 victory in Lincoln, Neb. Oklahoma's Jason White ran 12 times for 117 yards and passed for 151 yards and four scores in the Sooners' 38-10 victory in Lawrence.
Crouch and his Heisman Trophy are no longer an issue, but Nebraska is still on the schedule. The No. 10-ranked Cornhuskers blocked two punts, held the Sun Devils to 10 points and scored 38 of their own in the second half Saturday. Lord, Crouch's replacement, threw his first career touchdown and ran for 103 vards on 17 carries against Arizona State.
White and the Sooners are off this year's schedule, but that fact is tempered by the addition of Texas A&M, whom Kansas hasn't defeated since 1974, and Oklahoma State, whom Kansas hasn't defeated since 1995.
Not even Texas Tech's 45-21 loss to Ohio State can give the Jayhawks hope. The Red Raiders, losers in double overtime to the Jayhawks last season, aren't on this year's schedule either. Of course, it took a hook-and-ladder play in the fourth quarter and then double overtime to defeat Tech last season, so maybe that's a blessing in disguise.

While known for his fluttering pitch — it was because of him that catchers began using an oversized mitt — Wilhelm had a smashing debut as a big leaguer.
On April 23, 1952, Wilhelm hit a home run in his first major league at-bat, connecting for the New York Giants at the Polo Grounds. That turned out to be Wilhelm's only career homer.
Wilhelm was 143-122 with 227 saves and a 2.52 ERA for nine teams. A five-time All-Star, he played mostly for the Giants, Baltimore and the Chicago White Sox.
Wilhelm was elected to the Hall in 1985. Rollie Fingers is the only other reliever in the Hall.
"My husband always thought it was the greatest thing in the world that he could make a living at doing what he loved best, playing baseball," Peggy Wilhelm told the Sarasota Herald-Tribune on Saturday.

Injuries, contract negotiations cast a pall over Chiefs camp
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A frustrating training camp keeps getting worse for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Missing ever since camp opened is All-Pro tight end Tony Gonzalez, who wants more money and permission to continue to seek an NBA career. Missing also is much-needed first-round pick Ryan Sims, who also wants more money.
Those two, without many options, will probably join the team in a week or two. But now free safety Jerome Woods, a key member of the secondary since 1996, has broken his leg and is out for the year.
He hit the ground and immediately began writhing in pain, clutching his right leg.
The injury happened when Woods was trying to make a tackle on running back Shaun Alexander Saturday night during the Chiefs' 17-14 exhibition loss in Seattle.
right leg.
"We lost more than a football game. We lost a fine safety tonight," Vermeil said.
"It hurts. He is our key guy back there. He's an experienced free safety in the scheme and the scheme is a very sophisticated, complicated scheme that requires him to do a lot of things."
Strong safety Greg Wesley was held out to rest a nagging shoulder injury that has bothered him during the preseason.
season. A possible replacement for Woods is Jason Belser, a 10-year veteran who was slated to be backup at both safety positions. Belser, son of former Chiefs linebacker Cesar Belser, spent his first nine seasons at indianapolis.
"That would be the first thought, yes," Vermeil said.
Another possibility is Shaunard Harts, a seventh-round pick in 2001.
"You can't lose too many real good football players and remain competitive." Vermeil said. "But it's been my experience that when you have a group of kids who work real hard there's always somebody who steps up and fills that void. I'm sure we have that kind of player on our roster. Fortunately for us, it's one of our stronger positions."
Quarterback Trent Green, who was intercepted three times in the first poor showing of the offense in three exhibition games, can sympathize with Woods. Green suffered a major knee injury in an exhibition game in 1999 with St. Louis and is only now getting back to full strength.
"Having gone through it, it's a tough thing to cope with, not only as an individual but as a team," Green said. "We have to continue to support him because he's going to have a long recovery. But the fact is, as a team, we have to find a way to move on and obviously not forget the contributions that he's made because he'll be there throughout the whole season giving us support."
The Chiefs' final exhibition is at home Friday night against the Rams.

Softball look toward tournament
By Steve Schmidt Kansan sportswriter
On Labor Day, while the majority of the country goes on holiday leave, the Kansas softball team will start its work with the first practice of the fall season, trying to prepare for a run at the NCAA tournament next spring.
Three weeks later on Saturday, Sept. 21, the team will head to Lincoln, Neb., to compete in the two-day Nebraska Invite against Colorado State, Oklahoma City and Nebraska.
The next Saturday the team will be back in Lawrence for a double header against Neosho Junior College. They will finish the weekend with an intrasquad scrimmage Sunday, Sept. 29.
The action continues on Jayhawk Field Oct. 5 to 6 when Johnson County Community College, Butler County Community College, Washburn University and Emporia State come to Lawrence for the Kansas Invite.
Coach Tracy Bunge said she was less worried about how many games the team wins this fall and more interested in seeing her returning players and newcomers come together to form a cohesive unit.
Results during the fall season do not count toward the record of the team next spring.
The squad will begin the 2003 season Friday, Feb. 7, when it travels to Central Florida for a three-day series.
"It's a time to evaluate our new system," Bunge said. "The fall schedule is not threatening but we're still playing some tough outside competition."
After that the team will play in several tournaments, some of which have garnered Top 25 preseason accolades.
"I'm a big believer that the only way to maximize your potential is to go out and play the best competition in your sport," Bunge said.
The squad won't have to go far this year to find some of the best competition in the country — some are in the Big 12 Conference.
Bunge said Texas should be a preseason top 10 team with Oklahoma and Nebraska not far behind. Last season, the Sooners and Cornhuskers were two of the
"This year (the conference) is going to be even stronger," Bunge said.
eight teams in the NCAA Women's College World Series.
On March 16, the team will open up conference play with two contests against Oklahoma State. Bunge said every game would be important because the team would be under the eye of the NCAA selection committee.
"When you look at a 50-60 game schedule, it's hard to pinpoint one game." Bunge said. "Once you hit conference play, every game is critical."

fall and none in the spring. It gives me more time to focus on turning pro next September."
Marshall does not think his time off this summer will affect his play in the fall. After five top-10 finishes last season, he finally feels he can put it all together and secure multiple wins. Along with lofty personal expectations which include first-team All-American status, his team goals are set high as well.
"I expect my team to really perform well, and I expect them to work hard and really go after it because we missed the cut last year for nationals," Marshall said. "With me being the only senior on the squad. I feel it's my duty to make it happen, whether it means taking people out of the lineup, or helping coach make decisions. As a team,

Sophomore Jill Dorsey played the newly created libero position with her club team last year, giving her a slight edge over her teammates in terms of experience. "I know the rules," she said. "But they adjust real soon."
"A little bit, just because I know the rules," Dorsey said, "and I'm comfortable with them because I've played it for a year, but they'll adjust real soon.
Kraft said the scrimmage was a good chance for her and Morningstar to learn the particulars of the position.
"The speed of the game obviously is faster in Division I but the rules and stuff are the same. It will help a lot. The libero is out there specifically to dig balls so it will prolong the rally. I'm looking forward to it."

"It's very different because you don't have the opportunity to score points with your serve," Kraft said. "You're just in there to set everyone else up."
Kraft also said the scrimmage
was a good occasion for the team to get some game experience after practicing for two weeks.
"It was definitely fun to be in front of some of our fans and to have officials, to be announced and introduced. We're excited and can't wait for the season to start."
The Blue squad won all three games — 30-23, 30-28, 15-10 — against the Crimson squad, but the chance to compete in a game situation was more important than the result.
"It's great to have people in the stands and have the actual match setup," Bechard said. "We usually have three nets set up in here with no bleachers and no people. Anytime we can expose them to that is obviously a good opportunity because in a week it will be live."
Beachard said he thought the team's blocking and net play were
better than they usually are this early in the season, but he did see some areas that needed work.
The scrimmage did little to remedy the team's setter position, which is being fought for by sophomore Ashley Bechard, the coach's daughter, and freshman Andi Rozum.
"Our motto is sort of 'Take care of the details' and there are no little things," he said. "But I saw a bunch of little things that we'll have to rumage through this week and go back and refresh their memories."
"Andi is obviously a little more physical," Bechard said, "and Ashley has a little better understanding of our offense and what we're trying to do. They'll both get an opportunity early on to settle that situation. I think there will be times where we will have the opportunity in a
match to go to a two-setter system. They're both capable and that's the main thing."
Coach Bechard also got his first chance to see freshman Josiane Lima play, Lima, a middle blocker who transferred from the University of Sant'Anna in Sao Paulo, Brazil, is expected to be an impact player for the Jayhawks. She was a member of a 19-and-under team that finished second in Brazil in 2001 and was named to the 2000 Sao Paulo selection team.
"She's young, but having played at an early age she has a lot of experience," Bechard said. "She'll bring a high level of experience and enthusiasm.She really loves to play. She could have a great career here." Note
■ Renita Davidson, a second-year freshman, is expected to be
we need to play well. I'm not asking them to win every tournament, but to give 110 percent every time."
The team will have two spots open on the starting lineup with the loss of seniors Travis Hurst and Casey Harbour. Sophomores Luke Trammell, Jason Sigler, Peter Krsnich and Ryan Rainer will play this fall to solidify the openings.
"We're going to play as many people as we can in tournaments depending on how we qualify," Rundall said. "We never know what kind of weather we'll see in the beginning of the spring, so whoever plays the best this fall will most likely be in those starting slots to start the spring."
The team looks to go one step higher than last year, which could place them in competition at the NCAA finals.

Iowa State falls one yard short
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — If they'd all been this scary, Bobby Bowden might never have stuck around to win 324 games.
Kendyll Pope and terel Hudson stopped Iowa State's Seneca Wallace at the goal line on the final play Saturday night, giving No. 3 Florida State a wild 38-31 victory and nudging Bowden past Bear Bryant on the career victory list with 324.
"I feel like we lost this game," said Bowden, who trails only Penn State's Joe Paterno (327) on the Division I-A victory list. "That's how I feel right now."
Wallace, the senior quarterback who led Iowa State back from a 24-0 hole, scrambled 20 yards to the 1 yard line with 4 seconds left.
With the partisan Iowa State crowd of more than 55,000 roaring, he took the ball and rolled right.
But Pope and Hudson made the play.
"We put the ball with the best player on our team," Iowa State
coach Dan McCarney said.
Hudson said he recognized the play at once.
"As soon as I saw the fullback go in motion, I knew it was coming. They ran it before and I guess they thought they could run it again on us," he said. "I just tried to stay behind the ball. I got him inside-out. Kendyll got

him outside-in and we got him stopped."

charge early in the Eddie Robinson Classic.
The Seminoles, who return 17 starters from an 8-4 campaign that marked Bowden's worst in 15 years, scored on both teams' initial possession and appeared en route to a rout until Wallace began stunning them with big plays.
"I thought man, this just might be our year," Bowden said. "Then
the second half it was just the opposite. We couldn't stop them. We went out there and we could not do what we wanted to do to save our lives."
Adam Benike's 33-yard field goal — after Wallace lost 15 yards on third-and-goal from the 1 — drew the Cyclones to 31-17 with
1:23 left in the third.
Then Atif Austin returned an interception 39 yards to the Florida State 25. Four plays later, Wallace made it 31-24 with 13:01 left when he scored on a 1-yard run as a State coaches tried
Iowa State coaches fired
frantically to call timeout.
Back came the Seminoles, with Rix hitting Anquan Boldin on a 31-yard TD pass for a 38-24 lead with 8:15 left. But Wallace needed only nine plays to drive his team 91 yards, hitting Jamaul Montgomery on a 39-yard TD pass that made it 38-31 with 5:26 left.
Wallace finished 22-of-33 for 313 yards and two touchdowns.
At first, it looked easy for the Seminoles. On their first possession, Nick Maddux capped an 80-yard march with a 5-yard run.
Rix was 17-of-25 for 210.
Then three minutes later, pressured by Donnie Carter and Michael Boulware, Wallace hurried a screen pass right into the hands of defensive end Alonzo Jackson. The 250-pounder juggled the ball a moment, then rambled 48 yards into the end zone.
Another Cyclones turnover led to Rix's 2-yard TD pass to Anquan Boldin on the first play of the second period.
Then Iowa State got a 54-yard kickoff return by Lance Young and two plays later, Hiawatha Rutland broke free over the middle and fled 56 yards into the end zone, making it 24-7.
Trailing 31-7 in the final minute of the half, Wallace engineered a six-play, 70-yard drive, capped by a 29-yard scoring pass to tight end Kyle Knock.
It was the first career TD by the senior tight end whose father, Don, is director of football operations for the Cyclones.
Ohio State freshman impressive in opener
The Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Maurice Clarett made some history and then went on to bigger things.
Clarett became the first true
menman to start tailback in an Ohio State season opener, then rushed for 175
F
yards and three touchdowns as the No. 13 Buckeyes beat Texas Tech 45-21 on Saturday in the Pigskin Classic.
He also ended up as the Buckeyes' leading receiver with four catches for 50 yards.
Clarett scored on runs of 59,45 and 2 yards — and set up two other short touchdown runs by Lydell Ross as the Buckeyes rolled up 318 yards on the ground.
Early in the third quarter, after he ran untouched through the right side for the 45-yard score, the crowd of 100.057 at Ohio Stadium chanted, "Mau-rice! Maurice!"
Clarett was Ohio's Mr. Football last year at Warren's Harding High School and also was USA Today's national offensive player of the year. He graduated from high school in December and enrolled at Ohio State for the winter quarter so he could go through spring drills with the team.
In addition to the fact he started, Clarett's performance was among the best ever by firstyear tailback at Ohio State.
Howard "Hopalong" Cassady scored three times in a 33-13 win over Indiana in 1952. And Michael Wiley scored touchdowns the only three times he touched the ball on passes of 51 and 60 yards and a 49-yard reverse in a 70-7 beating of Rice in 1996.
Two-time Heisman winner Archie Griffin didn't start and didn't carry the ball in his first collegiate game. He rushed for 239 yards in his second game in an Ohio State uniform in 1972, then started for the first time the following week.
Nebraska newcomer sparkles in season opener against Arizona State
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — Jammal Lord threw his first career touchdown pass and ran for 103 yards in his first start for Nebraska as the No.10 Cornhuskers beat Arizona State 48-10 Saturday night in the Black Coaches Association Classic.
6-0 in "preseason" games.
The Cornhuskers blocked two punts and played strong defensively on a night they were trying to forget closing last season with blowout losses to Colorado and Miami.
Nebraska scored 38 points in the second half as it improved to
Lord's first start was highly anticipated, largely because Nebraska's offense had been centered around 2001 Heisman Trophy winner Eric Crouch for the past three years.
While Lord struggled at times,
he also showed some promise.
With three new starters on the offensive line, Lord didn't get a lot of protection and was forced to scramble a lot. He finished with 17 carries with most of his yardage coming on broken pass plays.
He also completed five of 13 passes for 33 yards, including a 9-yard strike to Wilson Thomas that
put the Huskers up 17-3 early in the second half.
Arizona State's Chad Christensen, a redshirt freshman who
was starting his first college game, was 6-for-16 for 77 yards and Mike Williams scored on a 34-
N
tinkers
yard run. Williams had 12 carries for 77 yards for the Sun Devils (0-1).
Dahrran Diedrick, Cory Ross and Judd Davies also scored for the Huskers and Fabian Washington, a true freshman who
starts his first college classes next week, returned an interception 29 yards for the final TD.
After yielding 99 points in the final two games of last year, Nebraska's defense wanted a big night and got it. The defense held Arizona State to 258 total yards, 52 of which came on the final drive against Nebraska reserves.
The defense also set up one score with a sack just outside the goal line, scored one on a blocked punt and set up another TD with the second blocked kick.
Demoe Adams started it when he sacked Christensen at the ASU 1 on third down, then
Tim Parker shanked the punt to the right sideline and Nebraska got the ball on the 20. The Huskers drove to the 9 and Lord hit Thomas for his first touchdown pass.
On third-and-7 in the next series, Chris Kelsay ran down Christensen and sacked him at the 10. Demorrio Williams blocked Parker's punt and Scott Shanle scooped it up and went six yards for the touchdown that put the Huskers up 24-3 with 9:38 left in the third.
Arizona State cut it to 24-10 when Williams broke away on a run up the middle but Nebraska
countered with Josh Brown's 42- yard field goal and Diedrick's 2- yard dive over the top with 7:12 left. The Huskers opened the touchdown drive on the Arizona State 9 after Williams recovered the second block punt.
Lord quickly showed a knack for scrambling. His 33-yard run on what was supposed to be a pass started Nebraska's first touchdown drive. Lord eluded the initial rush and did a head fake on Mason Unk that spun the linebacker in a circle, then took off down the right sideline to the Arizona State 24. Davies scored eight plays later.

Baseball team owners decry players' proposal
The Associated Press
NEW YORK - Owners immediately slammed baseball players Saturday for making what management called backward proposals on the key issues of revenue sharing and a luxury tax.
"We could not have been more disappointed in the proposal we received," said Rob Manfred, the owners' chief labor lawyer. "This is raw regressive bargaining."
The union said its proposals were a positive step and moved closer toward the clubs, and didn't understand why management publicly attacked them. Just six days before the union's Aug. 30 strike deadline, the sides appeared to be on a collision course for baseball's ninth work stoppage since 1972.
"Whoover the bar owner was in 'Casablanca' was shocked to find gambling, too," union head Donald Fehr said.
Manfred accused players of backtracking on increased revenue sharing, because the union's proposal Saturday phased in the increases. Owners want the entire amount of the increase to start next year, which players think would cripple the richest teams.
While owners want $268 million transferred next year from the wealthiest teams to the poorest ones, up from about $169 million under the current formula, the union proposed transfers of $172.3 million in 2003, $195.6 million in 2004, $219 million in 2005 and $242.3 million in 2006.
In 2006, the final year of the proposed deal, the sides are relatively close. Owners have proposed transferring $268 million. All figures use 2001 revenue figures for analysis.
Under the union's plan, teams would share 33.3 percent of their local revenue, up from 20 percent under the current deal. Fehr said players had previously been at 31 percent and owners at 37 percent, and that the union shifted to management's preferred method of
redistributing the money, which favors middle-markets teams.
Fehr said the sides had discussed phase-ins for at least the past 11/2 years. The union thinks that's important because the very richest teams, such as the New York Yankees, would have to pay more next year, even though the overall transfer amount wouldn't change.
"The parties have discussed for a long time that when agreements are eventually reached, changes will have to be phased in over time," Fehr said. "They clearly understand this would be phased in. Therefore, I am at a loss to explain what this is all about."
The union also moved $5 million toward the owners on the luxury tax, designed to slow spending by high-payroll teams, but Manfred said that was far short of what owners want because it would affect only two teams next year, based on this season's salaries.
"If they had made any sort of
move that was in our direction we would have made a countermove already. The thing we're dealing with is how to respond to a move that went the wrong way," Manfred said.
He called the proposal "so out of the realm of expectation that it's going to take us a little time."
While owners want to tax the portions of 40-man payrolls over $102 million (including $9 million in benefits), players proposed thresholds of $125 million in 2003, $135 million in 2004 and $145 million in 2005—all $5 million less than the union's previous offer.
Players have proposed tax rates of 15-40 percent, while the owners have proposed 37.5 to 50 percent. Owners also are angry players refuse to agree to a tax in 2006, the final year of the agreement.
Manfred chided Fehr for giving a "20-minute monologue" before the proposal on "Don's view of the world."
"It was a recitation of his view of how the negotiations had gone." Manfred said.
On Friday, when asked what was needed to spark talks on the key issues, Fehr said: "Rob knows what he has to do."
"My answer to that is apparently Don doesn't know what he needs to do," Manfred said.
Players said they thought their plan would move talks forward.
"We never expected them to accept it, but at least it's a move, and it's a significant move," Arizona's Mark Grace said.
"Any kind of dialogue and any kind of movement is good. They moved a few days ago, and we moved today, so the gap was narrowed. If we continue to do this, pretty soon the gap will be small enough that we can avoid a work stoppage."
Players and owners also are apart on drug testing, with owners saying the union's proposal doesn't go far enough. The union is willing to have mandatory ran
dom testing for illegal steroids and wants 2003 to be a survey. Players proposed that if more than 5 percent test positive, a second survey be taken in 2004. If more than 5 percent test positive that year, mandatory random testing would start the following year.
"Sort of by definition, if we make the proposal, it can't be adequate, and that's too bad," Fehr said.
At Yankee Stadium, Texas shortstop Alex Rodriguez backtracked from his comments Friday that he would give back 30 to 40 percent of his pay if it would improve the sport.
"I'm willing to do my part. Thirty to 40 percent? Probably not. I was speaking off the cuff," he said.
"What I wanted to say is I love the game of baseball and would do anything to help it. Obviously, that was a very drastic statement. I wouldn't take it literally."
NASCAR
Jeff Gordon zaps dry spell with win in Sharpie 500
The Associated Press
Gordon, the four-time and defending Winston Cup champion, passed Wallace by driving his Chevrolet up onto Wallace's bumper and sliding past in Turn 4 at Bristol Motor Speedway.
BRISTOL, Tenn. — Jeff Gordon snapped his 31-race victory drought Saturday night, bumping his way past Rusty Wallace with three laps to go to win the Sharpie 500.
After crossing the finish line, Gordon coasted around the track as his crew celebrated over the radio.
TENNIS
"You were like a man on the mission tonight baby, beautiful," crew chief Robbie Loomis said. "The winless streak is over, what are they going to write about now?"
After a series of burnouts, he drove to victory lane and jumped into the arms of car owner Rick Hendrick.
"I just wanted to take advantage of an opportunity, these guys deserved a win, we don't deserve to be written about this losing streak, so I'm glad it's over," Gordon said. "It feels like my first win!"
Wallace, riding a 50-race winless streak, finished second and wasn't pleased with Gordon's bump-and-run, claiming Gordon wouldn't have got past his Ford without a tap.
Hewitt's attitude brings titles, trouble
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Lleyton Hewitt's fighting spirit has helped him become a Grand Slam champion and the world's top-ranked player. It also gets him into trouble.
He's been fined for yelling at linesmen, lost a point for throwing a ball near an official and was criticized for what was perceived as a racially influenced outburst during a match in last year's U.S. Open.
Away from the court, though,
Hewitt can be affable and even
shy, seeming very little like the
brash player who wears a backward baseball cap and peppers his matches with shouts of "Come on!"
He's the defending champion and seeded first at the U.S. Open, which starts Monday. Neither Hewitt nor Venus Williams, who is trying to become the first woman to win three straight U.S. Opens since Chris Evert took four in a row from 1975-78, plays on the opening day.
Top matches Monday include Williams' younger sister, topranked Serena, against Corina Morariu, who'll be playing her first Grand Slam match since returning to the tour after fighting leukemia for more than a
year.
Serena is aiming for her third consecutive major title, after beating Venus in the finals of the French Open and Wimbledon.
Others playing Monday include two-time Open champion Andre Agassi, fourth-seeded Lindsay Davenport and French Open winner Albert Costa.
"I love competition and I love getting out there, working hard," Hewitt said.
Hewitt can't wait to get on court. His first-round match is against 103rd-ranked Frenchman Nicolas Coutelot.

VH1 show celebrates anniversary
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — After spending five years chronicling the rise, fall, and redemption of rock's biggest and wackiest stars, Behind the Music narrator Jim Forbes admits there are some phrases he gets sick of repeating.
No, it's not the now famous line about hitting "rock bottom."
"You know the line that's always bugged me? 'He or she was only X years old when he or she died.'" Forbes says with a laugh. "Well, you always want to live longer."
"I fight so hard not to become a caricature of myself, and not to become a cliche, and to deliver those lines with sincerity."
Despite—or perhaps because of—its sometimes predictable formula, the VH1 biography series has become one of television's most copied and parodied shows.
"Behind the Music in five years has already managed to make it to The Simpsons. Need
we say more?" said Robert Thompson, professor of media and popular culture at Syracuse University. The animated show won an Emmy for its satire episode, The Simpsons: Behind the Laughter.
Not only is Behind the Music VH1's longest running show, it is also the low-rated network's most consistent ratings grabber; it's currently running neck-and-neck with another biography show. Driven as VH1's most popular program.
Next week, the channel celebrates Behind the Music's fiveyear anniversary with a marathon including some of its most popular and notorious episodes, hosted by the comedian Cedric the Entertainer.
There's Shania Twain's tearful account of her parents' deaths; MC Hammer's account of his fall from stardom to bankruptcy; and Leif Garrett's awkward reunion with the friend paralyzed in an accident Garrett caused.
"It's exploitation reality TV,"
Garrett said. Yet he admits that his Behind the Music episode helped rekindle interest in his forgotten musical career.
"The timing was really good, so it did help for sure getting people to see what I am doing now."
Although Behind the Music has profiled such stars as Twain, Faith Hill and Madonna, it got its start profiling those whose luster had dimmed.
The show's first subject was Milli Vanilli, the pop duo disgraced for lip-syncing to other people's voices.
The series "came out of questions that were asked like, 'What ever happened to Milli Vanilli?'" says George Moll, its executive producer.
"We didn't know exactly what the show was going to be, but we thought that there was a good documentary."
The caveat was that the subjects had to cooperate and be willing to delve into uncomfortable topics.

While we were out...
The weekend's sports news in review...
Cause of illness may be found at Fort Hays State
HAYS — Doctors focused on a bacterium as the possible cause of a mysterious illness that sent several players
Tiger
the Fort Hays State University football team to the hospital earlier this week.
Hays Medical Center spokesman Stan Unruh said Saturday that a DNA test from one of four players who had been hospitalized came back positive for the bacterium mycoplasma pneumoniae. One of the players was released Thursday, one Friday and the final two on Saturday, Unruh said.
Unruh said dozens of tests have been run on the players, with the only positive result being for the bacterium in one
player.
"I'd be very cautious about one positive result," said Dr. Lyle Noordhoek, a pathologist at Central Plains Laboratories. "Usually we like to have two or three positive results to confirm it."
Noordhoek said the source of the illness could be an agent in the air.
"Usually, mycoplasma forms as a result of water on a dusty surface, moving it into the air," he said. But he added that finding the exact source for the bacterium can be difficult.
All tests for Legionnaires' disease, an early suspect in the outbreak, so far have come back negative.
St. Louis Rams waive 14 players
ST. LOUIS — Offensive lineman Cameron Spikes was one of 14 players placed on waivers Friday by the St. Louis Rams.
Spikes entered training camp competing with John St. Clair for the starting job at right tackle, but
a shoulder injury hampered him, and he moved further down the chart when tackle Grant Williams was acquired from New England earlier this week.
Spikes did not play in a 31-10 loss to San Diego Thursday.
Also we Ga
Also released were guard Rob Gatrell; wide receivers Eugene Baker and
Darran Hall; defensive tackle Carl Bradley; tackles DeMarcus Curry and Kaulana Noa; running back Marques Glaze; quarterback Ryan Helming; cornerbacks Todd Howard and Ronald Rogers; linebacker Derick Pack; kicker Matt Simonton; and defensive end Chris Ward.
The cuts reduce the Rams' roster to 71 players, though Noa and Gatrell hadn't been counted because they received exemptions for playing in NFL Europe. Still under exemptions are linebacker Michael Hawkes, wide receiver Dane Looker and safety Willie Gary.
By Tuesday, three more players must be off the roster.

Alfonzo had been on the DL since Aug. 4 with a left oblique strain.
He was batting.323 with 10 home runs and 42 RBIs in 103 games.
To make room for Alfonzo, the Mets optioned Ty Wigginton to Triple-A Norfolk.
"Alfonzo is ready and will be in the lineup today," New York manager Bobby Valentine said. "He batted indoors, he stretched, and he feels fine."
Wigginton was hitting.254 with two homers and seven RBIs in 23 games.
Venus Williams wins Pilot Pen title
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Venus Williams beat Lindsay Davenport 7-5, 6-0 to win her fourth-straight Pilot Pen title Saturday, building a 13-match win streak going into the U.S. Open.
Williams, the two-time defending U.S. Open champion, has dominated the New Haven hardcourt since her first appearance here in 1999.
She's beaten Davenport three times in the past four years for the Pilot Pen title.
Davenport, playing in her fourth tournament since returning last month from knee surgery, started out crisply.
She broke the top-seeded Williams in the first game with strong returns and passing shots.
Up a break in the first set and leading 5-3, Davenport began to unravel with several unforced errors and went winless the rest of the way, losing 10 straight games. Williams toughened and began reaching the shots that eluded her earlier in the match.
Davenport's serve also abandoned her down the stretch. The second-seeded Davenport double-faulted one break in the sec-
and set and had trouble getting her first serve in.
Williams closed out the match by pouncing on Davenport's 86-mph second serve with a backhand cross-court winner.
Future unclear for rookie in IRL
MADISON, III. — The Indy Racing League's top rookie, Tomas Scheckter, did not race in yesterday's Gateway 250 after missing a scheduled technical briefing Friday and his future on the circuit is in limbo.
Eddie Cheever Jr., the owner of the Red Bull Cheever Racing team, blistered the 21-year-old driver after qualifying on Saturday. Scheckter, the son of former Formula One champion Jody Schecker, told The Indianapolis Star that his management staff made the decision last week "on safety grounds."
Schekter is 11th on the points list and won the Michigan Indy 200 on July 28. He has won three poles.
But he's also wrecked six cars in 12 races and also wrecked one car in practice.

Apartment parties create problems for KU students
By Jenna Goepfert Kansan staff writer
Lara Kantack had heard rumors about Jefferson Commons' frequent parties.
But the Sioux Falls, S.D., junior, decided that the appeal of an already furnished apartment and minimal utilities outweighed the negatives of carousing.
After several weekend parties - and 13 arrests - at the apartment community, Kantack understands where the rumors come from. She said the real problems did not begin until residents started moving in.
"When everyone moves, that's when it gets bad," she said. "I was kind of hesitant to move here because of the reputation. It's been OK until now."
Officers from the Lawrence Police Department responded at 1:35 a.m. Sunday morning to complaints of a fight at a "large, out-of-control party" at the complex, 2511 W. 31st St., said Lawrence police Sgt. Mike Pattrick.
The officers were assisted by the Douglas County Sheriff's Office and the KU Public Safety Office.
A crowd of about 1,000 people had gathered in the complex's common areas, balconies and hallways, leading to charges of noise ordinance violations, public urination, alcohol in public, minors in possession of alcohol and disorderly conduct, the report said.
conduct, the report said. Members of the crowd began hurling bottles and cans at the officers, Pattrick said.
Police then asked residents to return to their apartments or their own homes. Most people complied, but several refused. Police advised the remaining party-goers that they would be arrested if they did not leave.
Police from all responding departments arrested a total of 13 people, including several KU students.
Aaron Hines, Evergreen, Colo., senior, has lived at Jefferson Commons since the complex opened three years ago. He said it was common for complex residents to have parties — especially at the beginning of the fall semester.
"During the first part of the year, whenever it's warm out is usually when it gets wild out there," Hines said.
He said the complex lives up to its reputation. In fact, he

Student falls from balcony

A University of Kansas student fell from a third-floor balcony onto a concrete sidewalk early Sunday morning, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Mike Patrick.
Blake Swenson, 20, Topeka, Kan., junior, fell from an apartment at 2:48 a.m. at Colony
Dennis Minich, senior media relations coordinator for the Med Center, said Swenson was in critical condition Sunday afternoon, but was updated to serious condition on Monday.
Swenson was taken by ambulance to the parking lot of Dillon's grocery store on 23rd Street, where he was taken by helicopter to the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan.

Students with housing meal plans can now enjoy the convenience of using their plans to eat on campus between classes.
The $20 is a trial run to see whether students would rather have money or meals on the card, said Ken Stoner, director of student housing. The money can only be used for student meals, not in vending machines.
Kansan staff writer
By 2 p.m. yesterday, 30 to 40 people had used money from the meal plan to make purchases, Heikkilla said.
Meal plans this fall include $20 on the KUID to spend at the Kansas Union's food court, The Market, in addition to dining centers in residence halls.

"Slowly, people have been coming in and using it," said Chrissy Heikkila, Great Bend junior and cashier at the Union Market.

The department of student housing wanted students to have other places to use their meal plans on campus.
Currently, students get a fixed number of meals per week and retrieve the meals at the residence halls through UDs.
Tables sit empty at about 8:15 last night at Coco Loco, 913 Massachusetts St. The bar/restaurant will close in a week for renovations and will reopen in late September. Bartender Mike Abbleby, Lawrence junior, said the upcoming changes were a result of slow business in recent months.

Coco Loco to change name, look
By Nathan Dayani
Kansan staff writer
Coco Loco Mexican Cafe is about to get a make-over and a new name.
"It's going to be completely remodeled," said Kelfel Aqui, owner and manager of the restaurant. "We're going to tear down walls, tear down the bar and do pretty major work."
Structural changes — including a lounge with a pool table and video games — will only be small components of the club's new direction, Aqui said. He said Coco Loco will become a European-style tapas bar that will serve appetizers
Aqui said Coco Loco would close in about two weeks for construction and renovation and would reopen in late September.
rather than main dishes. However, it will continue to serve main courses for lunch.
For entertainment, Aqui will set a consistent schedule of music theme nights, including an '80s retro night, blue-beat, hip-hop, and ska, punk and rock steady night.
Coco Loco has been known for its Latin and meringue dance nights.
Although the new theme nights signify a shift from its Latin style, Aqui said the club would continue to have a weekend Latin dance party and live music.
Coco Loco employee Shane Wilcutt, Overland Park junior, said competition from Latin clubs in Kansas City and Topeka influenced Aqui's decision to switch music themes.
"We're trying to emphasize different genres of music," he said. "Almost anybody can find something they want to do there, for at least one night a week."
Wilcutt said he thought the club which has experimented with theme nights during the past few years, had attracted a diverse crowd.
"You see not only every end of the spectrum as far as your college crowd goes, but you even see people of older ages." he said. "I think we appeal well for anyone in the 18 to 40 age group."
Aaron Jacobs, Leawood junior said Coco Loco had better sound quality for live music than house parties do.
"A lot of bands play in houses now," he said.
"There really needs to be more
established places for music, like Coco Loco."
In addition to Coco Loco's structural and venue changes, Aqui plans to change the business' name before it reopens. But for now, Aqui is keeping the new name on the down-low.
As a result of Coco Loco's upcoming changes, Aqui said he expected a slight change in patronage, and the core audience will be composed of people in their mid 20s to late-30s.
"That's a surprise. We're keeping that secret," he said.

GTAC members say yes to new salary contract
By Molly Gise Kensan staff writer
Dan Carey handed out T-shirts in the Kansas Union yesterday emblazoned with the slogan, "Ask me about my new contract." He wore one himself, along with a big grin.
That's because the Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition yesterday unanimously approved a new three-year contract between GTAs and the University of Kansas.

Theives remain unknown in Sunday robbery of student
Three unidentified men robbed a 22-year-old KU student early Sunday morning in the 800 block of Arkansas, Sgt. Mike Patrick of Lawrence Police said.
The male student was walking west on Ninth Street approaching Arkansas Street when he was approached by three men. The student told Lawrence Police two of the men tackled him and began punching and kicking him. The men stole his leather wallet, $50 cash, a cellular phone and other bank and identification cards. The items stolen were valued at $380. The student's injuries were minor and he was not examined at a hospital.
The description of the suspects did not match the description of an attempted robbery and aggravated battery early. 20 in the 1200 block of Tennessee Street. Patrick said the unidentified men were suspected of being under the influence of alcohol.

Key to future suntan lotions could be caffeine additive
WASHINGTON—Caffeine, the chemical stimulant in coffee and tea, has been found to lower the risk of skin cancer in laboratory mice.
A study suggests that a skin lotion spiked with caffeine or with another compound found in green tea can reduce by more than half the number of cancer tumors on the skin of hairless mice exposed to brutal levels of ultraviolet radiation, said Allan Conney, a professor of cancer and leukemia research at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, N.J.
"We had between 50 to 70 percent tumor formation inhibition in the mice that were treated with caffeine or with EGCG (the other chemical compound)," said Conney, senior author of a study appearing this week in the online site of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Traffic controller's vacation postpones plane's landing
STOCKHOLM, Sweden — The pilot of a passenger flight tried to land at an airport in a southern Swedish town but found no one at the control tower to give him clearance.
It turned out that the controller had failed to return from vacation, and no one had noticed that the tower was not staffed.
The Scandinavian Airlines System's flight carrying 30 passengers from Stockholm was left to circle the airport Sunday at the Kristiansstad airport while central traffic authorities called in another controller.
About 30 minutes later, the Dash 8 aircraft landed safely at the airport.
"There was never any danger to the passengers or crew. There were plenty of alternative airports and the aircraft had fuel enough to divert to many of them had it been necessary." Scandinavian Airlines spokeswoman Christina Thunberg said.
Zimbabwe Cabinet attempts to repair troubled economy
HARARE, Zimbabwe — Embattled President Robert Mugabe swore in a hard-line Cabinet yesterday, describing it as "a war council" to fight the country's economic woes and its international detractors led by Britain, the former colonial power.
Mugabe, 78, took oaths of office and allegiance to the president and the government from his 50 ministers and their deputies at his State House mansion.
He described the lineup announced Sunday as "a fully fledged war council" that "will take into account the actions being done by Britain and its allies against Zimbabwe," the radio said.
After dissolving his old Cabinet on Friday, Mugabe announced a new lineup that dropped his moderate finance minister and kept hard-liners who have spearheaded harsh media controls and seizures of white-owned farms.
That and yesterday's tough rhetoric suggested the increasingly authoritarian president planned to push ahead with the controversial farm seizures and other policies that have led to Zimbabwe's increasing international isolation and raised criticism from opponents at home.
Terror-linked Spanish party suspended from politics
MADRID, Spain — A Spanish judge shut down a Basque political party Monday on grounds it supports the armed separatist group ETA, as lawmakers cut short their summer vacations to vote on a bill outlawing the Batasuna party altogether.
The 375-page order by Judge Baltasar Garzon, Spain's most prominent anti-terrorism crusader, suspended the activities of the Batasuna party for three years.
Batasuna's offices will be closed and the 24-year-old party is barred from calling public demonstrations or political rallies. It will also be prevented from running in municipal elections scheduled for next May. But lawmakers representing the party will be allowed to serve out their terms.
The final decision is up to the Supreme Court.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 3A

Kansan staff writer
Refurbished lecture rooms in Wescoe online enrollment and better graduate teaching assistant salaries are some of the improvements that will be paid for with money from the tuition increase.
Provost David Shulenburger released a plan yesterday for how the University of Kansas will use tuition money for enhancements campuswide.
"We have to get the money out and allocated now if we're going to spend it during the year in a way that will make a difference so students feel it." Shulenburger said.
The University plans to spend money raised by the increase in three ways, Shulenburger said:
An increase in the University's maintenance budget of $3,353,000. The increase will help cover budget shortfalls.
■ Need-based financial aid, mostly in the form of grants the University handed out this summer to offset the tuition increase, which will cost $1,720,000.
- Upgrades to campus facilities, pay increases for graduate teaching and research assistants
Budgeted uses of tuition money for enhancements:
Technology improvements $2.4 million
GTA salary increase $1 million
GRA benefits $750,000
Added instructional support $250,000
Classroom improvements $500,000
Library improvements $800,000
Other operating expenses $1.5 million
New faculty start-up $1 million
Minority retention programs $150,000
International student services $80,000
Enrollment reserve $170,000
Total $8.6 million
The University has already started some improvements. Members of the Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition ratified yesterday a three-year contract between GTAs and the University that includes the increased salaries paid for by the tuition increase.
and other improvements; totaling $8.6 million.
Some classroom improvements have begun, including the refurbishing of the two lecture rooms in Wescoe Hall, Shulenburger said. Improvements to these classrooms will include repainted and reupholstered seats, new carpet and replaced ceiling tiles.
About $2.4 million will be used for technology improvements including creating a student portal and starting up online enrollment
Caroline Ramsay, Plainville junior, said tuition money should be spent in ways that directly benefit students.
"If they're going to spend it on stuff that will improve classes for us, then go ahead." Ramsay said. "As long as it's for something good."
Deans are working with faculty and students on a plan to turn in to the provost Nov. 1 for how they would improve their schools with a 15 percent increase in faculty.
Shulenburger said he hoped to add 100 tenure-track faculty members over the next five years.
"Five years from now, everyone will realize this has really moved us a lot closer to that top-25 status." Shulenburger said.
Krisin Colahan-Sederstrom, Wichita junior, said she didn't understand how increasing tuition makes the University more prestigious.
"Why do we have to be more expensive to be a better school?" she asked.

Forum to discuss Biblical tradition
Ecumenical Christian Ministries will hold its first Faith Forum, "A Liberal Take on Christianity," at 8:30 p.m. tonight. The forums will take place at ECM, 1204 Oread St., every Tuesday night and will be facilitated by Thad Holcombe, director.
"We take the Bible seriously but not literally." Holcombe said. "We're asking — how does one look at the Biblical tradition and how is this relevant in our own lives?"
Holcombe said the first three weeks would focus on examining the Biblical tradition before branching off into areas to be determined by the group's participants.
Mike Lee, Lawrence senior, and Lindsey Burch, Overland Park senior, began the Faith Forum last year.
"We wanted somewhere to talk about it in a liberal setting and an open forum," Burch said. "We try to look at its individual application to people's lives."
Burch said the forum grew through the semester to a regular group of about ten people.
ECM is a campus Christian group open to members of any faith, as well as being inclusive to homosexuals. The Forums meet for an hour and include dessert. The forums will end each week in common prayer.
Pickup changes help recyclers

Kansan staff writer
We all know it's a good idea to recycle, but sometimes it easier to throw the trash away.
The recycling program at the University of Kansas has tweaked its current pickup system for the residence halls to make the option more lucrative. Recyclables will be picked up from each floor instead of from one central location from each building.
Victoria Silva, director of the Department of Environmental Stewardship, said the change came about because of a lack of regular student volunteers for each floor.
"There were not enough constant student volunteers to do recycling for each floor," she said.
The recycling volunteers for each floor were expected to take the materials to a central location in the building and sort it for one large pickup. Silva said the pickups did not happen regularly.
"Some buildings just didn't have enough recycling to make a weekly pickup worth our time," Silva said.
With floor to floor pickups, the responsibility to the student volunteers will lessen but not disappear.
Diana Robertson, associate director for student housing, said the program still needed students to sort and rinse the recycling before it was collected.
Robertson said resident assistants and signs in each of the buildings would help educate students about correct recycling procedures.
dent assistant in Hashinger Hall, is looking forward to the change.
Clint Pfalser, Caney senior and resi
"It's a far improvement over going from building to building," he said. "It will be a lot easier for each individual floor to do recycling and it will be easier to get my floor involved in recycling."
Daisy Hill and Oliver Hall's recycling will be collected every Monday. GSP-Corbin and the scholarship halls will have their recycling picked up Thursdays.
"We want to be able to provide this service for them,"Silva said."Students just need to be able to pitch in because it helps when the program runs smoothly."

I just took out my tongue ring after two years. Am I still sexy? And does anyone wanna make out with me any more?

I so wait in line for two hours to enroll, and as soon as I get in the damn room there's a fire alarm. And where's every body on campus? Nobody's partying.
I just wanted to call in and say that Jason Barr is the worst KJHK jd ever. All he does is brag about how cool he is on the air.
I have an identical twin sister, so does she and I get to be on the front page of the Kansan? We've been at KU for four years now, always living together for 23 years. And have you ever heard of fertility drugs that their mother possibly took? My mother didn't. Thank you.
What's up with freshman girls getting ready for a class at 8 in the morning? Doing their hair, their make-up and wearing clothes that they wear out to a night club? This is not high school.
Are all nineteen year olds so inconsiderate? I have three girls that live above me in a nice apartment, and they continually throw over their empty beer bottles, cans, cigarette packs and cigarette butts onto my patio and yard. And they don't understand why I ask them nicely not to do it. What's up with that?
So I'm reading the newspaper in class the other day, and I'm presently surprised when I turn it to the opinion page to see a picture of the most gorgeous man I've yet seen on this campus. Steve, the Brandon Boyd of Incubus look-like, yes, I will find you, and I will marry you.

I would just like to say to all the females, don't listen to that chump who said something about donkey kong, because that's an old game. My game is fresh and I'm about to come for you. Yeah.
Why would you print the "praying for no. STD's anymore" twice? It happened twice. Pray with a condom, not with your mouth.

In response to the last call, Lawrence is the oasis of Kansas. Kansas is not a good state. Every town west of Kansas is broke, as well as south. Lawrence is the oasis of Kansas. Thank you.
We're a succubus!

Summer in New York provides new outlook, celebrity sightings
COMMENTARY
A afterventuring out to Los Angeles last summer, I was hard pressed to try and find a better place than L.A. to live for the summer.
---
I put in much thought, time, and consideration and I came to the conclusion that the only place in the United States that could come close to L.A. was of course, New York City. It sounded like a cool idea, but little did I know what I was getting into.
So much like in Home Alone 2, Coyote Ugly and Midnight Cowboy, I packed my bags and headed out to the Big Apple. And much like the main characters in those movies, I was way, way out of my element for a week.
Eric Borja
opinion@kansan.com
Luckily, within my first two days I got an internship at Comedy Central on its first made-for-TV movie named Porn and Chicken. Which, by the way, is being compared to The Godfather and Citizen Kane in terms of cinematic genius and it makes its premeire on Comedy Central on Oct. 13 (got to love shameless self-promotion).
Once I got over the initial shock of big city life, I embraced it and began to enjoy it.
I went into New York expecting a city still torn apart from Sept. 11 and the current recession. But what found was an
energy I have not experienced anywhere else in the world. Even though Sept. 11 still remains in the back of a lot of people's minds, the city was thriving.
Most tourists love New York for the usual tourist fare of the Empire State Building, Time Square and the Broadway shows. But I loved New York for the little things that make it "New York."
The fact that the bars don't close until 4 a.m., that McDonalds delivers, that during a twenty minute walk you can go from Greenwich Village to Soho to Chinatown to Wall Street and experience a totally different world in each few blocks.
What seemed like extraordinary experiences to me, like shaking Tom Cruise's hand on the Today Show or shopping for hats with Sum 41 or eating dinner next to Gwenyth Paltrow or chilling with Ron Jeremy and Jenna Jameson, was just
another day in the life of someone living in New York.
Nothing shocks or impresses any New Yorker. I learned many important rules in New York that I wasn't aware of.
1. New Yorkers think that New York is the center of the universe and they can't fathom how anyone could live anywhere else.
2. Sex and the City isn't just a show, it's a lifestyle. Getting hit on by 35-year-old women in Dolce and Gabana is pretty cool until they learn that you are an intern and that what you make per week is equal to one of their earrings.
3. Anything related to Kansas is a novelty. I lost track of how many Greenwich Village hipsters I saw wearing a T-shirt or hat with Kansas on it. Hey at least we're fashionable.
After three months there, it totally changed my perspective on life, for better or worse. But I needed to get out. I had had enough with the lines, the pollution and the constant commotion. I had to get back to my real world, where there is grass, fresh air and peace and quiet. I had to get back to Kansas.

No. That couldn't be right. The headline must have been misleading. It had to be. Nobody who has been on this campus for more than a few days would ever think of closing one of the best student services on campus.

Not a computer. Not the Internet.Not some student portal.I can tell you that for sure.Yes, we all have high speed Internet access on campus. But I have a secret the geniuses in administration might not know. I don't have high-speed Internet when I'm at Clinton Lake trying to figure out how many acres it is.
something up, I wouldn't be bothering KU Info in the first place.
We don't need a student portal to be our KU Info. We've already got Yahoo! and Google for that.
So that leaves us all with a choice. We can sit around and do nothing about KU Info being shut down. We can let the administration rob us of one of the few gems this University has left. We can all learn to use the yellow pages again.
Maybe we can fight back for once. Maybe we can put all of our differences aside, if only for this one time. We can prove to the administration that we are not afraid to fight them for what we want.
We can show them for one shining moment in time that they can raise our tuition, they can cram us into overcrowded rooms with no air conditioning, but they'll never take KU Info without a fight.
If you're interested in supporting KU Info, come to an open campus meeting today at 5 p.m. on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union. We'll be discussing the current state of KU Info and possible courses of action to take.

GTAC
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
off-and-on negotiations between GTAC and the University. Carey said this contract was a big victory for the coalition because of the minimum salaries established for GTAs in the contract.
The contract sets a base salary of $8,000 in the first year of the contract, $9,000 in the second year and $10,000 in the third year for half-time GTAs. Half-time GTAs typically teach two classes a week.
Provost David Shulenburger said the contract now must be approved by the Board of Regents and the state secretary of administration.
Shutenburger credits the tuition increase for making these salaries possible.
No minimum salary for GTAs existed before this contract, said Robert Vodicka, lead negotiator for GTAC.
"With the new GTAs, I told them on Sept. 19 when the Regents vote yes to thank their students," Shulenburger said.
Under the contract, the University also would increase the merit salary pool for GTA raises by 10 percent each year of the contract.
"Before this contract, we weren't even on the same field as most of our peer institutions," Vodicka said.
Disagreement about salaries brought talks to a halt in December.
"There's nothing better than working hard and having it pay off," Carey said. "Literally, in this case."
Vodicka said the new GTA contract would improve the edu
cational environment at the University.
"We think it's an enormous leap for working conditions for graduate teachers," Vodicka said, "and we think that translates to very much-improved learning conditions for undergraduates."
With the improved salaries, Carey said some GTAs might be able to quit their second jobs and focus more on teaching and their own studies.
Eve Clark, a GTA in sociology, said many GTAs struggled to live on their current salaries.
"I don't think anyone is doing it for the money," she said, "but we live in a world we have to survive in."

KUID
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
The Burge Union and Wescoe Terrace have equipment to read only the information encoded in the chip on the front of the KUID. Meal plan information is stored on the black magnetic strip on the back of the card. Stoner said that by next semester, all locations should be equipped to read the strip.
The University began using the new card readers at the Union Market on Thursday.
Stoner said the department of student housing contemplated giving students the option of increasing the amount of money and decreasing the number of meals per week.
If given the choice of places to use their meal plans, some students said they would make a decision based on which residence hall they live in, said Liz Nartowicz, Lawrence freshman.
Nartowicz said she didn't necessarily want cash instead of meals because she lived in Corbin Hall, which was close enough to walk back for lunch between classes.
"I if lived in Naimsith, I don't know if I'd want to make that walk." Nartowicz said.

said there was also a party Friday night and about 15 police officers had come to break it up.
"It's annoying now," he said. "It's a total party place."
The complex is a gated community, but Hines said the gates were rarely closed.
"There are so many thefts here," he said. "I worry about keeping my car in the parking lot."
Lara Kantack said the problem needed to be addressed.
"I think something needs to be done with management and security. This place is a wasteland," she said of the area left with debris from the parties.
Both management from Jefferson Commons and officials from JPI, the Dallas-based company that owns the complex, declined to comment on the weekend's events or complex policy until they had received a copy of the police report.

Union changes bring businesses
By Doyle Murphy Kansan staff writer
Haircuts, plane tickets and cell phones are among the new products and services coming to the Kansas Memorial Union this fall.
Great Clips and a soon-to-be-named cell phone company will open in remodeled space previously occupied by the Hawk's Nest on the third floor of the Kansas Union.
STA Travel will move into the location vacated by Mail Boxes Etc. on the fourth floor. Although no official dates have been set, the businesses hope to open before Nov. 1.
Steve Curd, vice president and part owner of Carpe Diem Inc., said his company owns seven Great Clips in Lawrence, the Kansas City area and Paola, but a campus location was unique.
"It's the first anywhere in the country." Curd said. "It's a big test, experiment."
Each business signed three-year leases with two one-year renewal options. The deal is expected to bring in $15,000 to the Union, said David Mucci, director of KU Memorial Unions. He said the $20,000 needed to remodel the space came out of the Union's standard operating budget.
"There won't be any budget overruns on this at all," Mucci said.
Austin Turner, Shawnee junior, said the convenient location of the new businesses won't lure him away from his local barber shop.
"There's already like four places on Mass, that are pretty cheap." Turner said. "I'm sure lots of people could use it, just not me."
If the new businesses do not bring students to the
Union, David Johnston, marketing coordinator for KU Memorial Unions, said he hoped the opening of the new Hawk's Nest would. The Hawk's Nest, now located on the first floor, features a big screen for movies or sporting events, an outdoor patio and Wheat Wavers, a snack bar.
Eric Braem/Kansan
The Hawk's Nest is part of Phase III of a plan to renovate the Union that began in 1988.
The $5.6 million project includes a new central stairway, a covered walkway to the parking garage and added office space for Organizations and Leadership Development. Phase III is scheduled to be completed by the middle of October.

Med Center offers new cancer treatment
By Lindsay Hanson Kansan staff writer
In terms of cancer treatment, the University of Kansas Medical Center has caught up with other academic treatment centers across the country.
this June, the school began treating patients with intensity modulated radiation therapy, IMRT, which minimizes side effects by pinpointing cancerous tumor cells to the millimeter. Older radiation equipment—the only form of treatment at many nonacademic hospitals—uses one sweeping radiation beam to destroy cancer cells.
IMRT technology uses a computer to define a tumor as a three-
dimensional object, painting its contours with radiation beams as closely as possible to avoid affecting healthy cells.
Although nonacademic hospitals have not caught on to the IMRT trend, university treatment centers have been using it for awhile, said Fen Wang, instructor in the department of radiation oncology.
"Most academic institutions already had this technology ten years ago," he said.
But the University is still ahead of schools in Kansas.
Wang said the only imRT machine in the state was at Kansas City Cancer Centers-Southwest, 12200 W. 110th St., Overland Park. The Varian SmartBeam IMRT Web
site lists 98 institutions nationwide that apply IMRT. However the listings are voluntary and incomplete, and neither of the Kansas locations appear on the list.
Adding IMRT technology to a radiation therapy machine costs about $500,000, said Rajendra Kurup, director of medical physics and spearhead of the campaign to bring IMRT to the Med Center. He said the Med Center's new machine cost about $1.5 million with IMRT.
"It's like getting air conditioning in your car or leaving it out," Kurup said.
"Tylonel is good, but you don't give
Tylonel for every disease."
Not all cancer patients qualify for IMRT, Kurup said.
Before IMRT, a person with tongue cancer would suffer dryness in the mouth, said Leela Krishnan, professor and chairwoman of the department of radiation oncology at the Med Center. She said the patient would be seated between two radiation beams, one coming from either side of the mouth. As the beams pass through the cheeks, they would vaporize cells in the parotid, or salivary, glands, Krishnan said.
"Compare it to Tylenol," he said.

New Med Center dean implements changes
By Lindsay Hanson Kansan staff writer
When the University of Kansas Medical Center lost its dean of medicine and the chairman of the same school last year, the school faced a dilemma.
Because of budget constraints, the school could fill only one position at the time, said Glen Cox, the school's senior associate dean for academic and educational affairs.
"You have to decide whether to recruit a chair or recruit a dean, and the school went with the dean," he said.
That new dean is Barbara Atkinson, who took office as the executive dean and vice chancellor of the School of Medicine Aug. 1. Atkinson will earn $292,055 this year, matching the salary of her predecessor, Deborah Powell.
That seems like a large salary, said Kevin Boatright, the associate executive vice chancellor at the University of Kansas, but 43 percent of that comes from sources outside of state funding.
"A good chunk of that is funds that come from grants written in support of that or from the Endowment Association," Boatright said.
Atkinson said her primary goal was to work on forging new partnerships between different Med Center campuses and the hospital at the campus in Kansas City, which is under independent public authority.
Cox said that the partnership would produce better Kansa health care providers.
"Barbara brings the opportunity to improve our ability to train residents by providing health care to Kansans through partnerships." Cox said.
KU implementing changes. First, she appointed Cox to the senior associate dean position, who will now oversee admissions and curriculum development. Atkinson also appointed Joan Hunt, research scientist in human reproduction, to become the senior assistant dean for research.
Atkinson began her tenure at
In addition to forging new partnerships, Atkinson said she looked forward to dealing with other challenges this year.
"We're going to have some issues with managing the state budget, just like every other department," she said.
Even with budget problems. Atkinson said she would expand life sciences research at the Wichita branch. She also said she wanted to do more joint projects on neurosciences, cancer and human development in aging with the School of Allied Health and the School of Nursing. Also, Atkinson said she wanted to expand clinical programs and build on the human genome project that focuses on decoding DNA.
Atkinson served as dean at the MCP Hahnemann University School of Medicine in Philadelphia from 1996 to 1999. She said she worked the school through bankruptcy problems and left afterward to find an institution that was more financially stable.
Her first leadership position at a university came in 1978 when she became director of the University of Pennsylvania's cytopathology laboratory, which specialized in cancer diagnosis.

Seniors must run hard,lead team
JABED SOARES/KANSAN
KANSAS RELAYS
From left, seniors Mark Menefee, Eve Lamborn, Derec Lacio and Courtney Deutch are preparing for the upcoming cross country season.
By Justin Schmidt
Kansan sportswriter
A strong team must have strong leadership. In college sports, the greatest expectations lie with the athletes with the most experience. The senior class is always expected to be the core of any team.
Courtney Deutsch and Eve Lamborn are the Kansas women's cross country seniors. Last year both of them helped the team, but this year their contributions are even more significant.
"I think you expect more out of yourself every year." Deutsch said.
Derec Lacio and Mark Menefee are the senior members on the men's squad. Menefee hopes he can live up to the senior title.
"I don't want to get stressed out because I'm a senior," he said. "I'm trying to put less pressure on myself than I have in the past."
This year's Kansas cross country seniors are trying their hardest to live up to the their senior status. They also know
that in cross country, a team must work together.
All of the seniors said they felt the pressure to lead the team, but they did not want to be considered more important than their fellow runners.
"We each play our roles, no matter what our year is." Deutsch said.
Coach Stanley Redwine said the seniors could only be as good as the rest of
the squad.
"I expect everyone to do their best," he said.
"Obviously, they are more experienced and expect more out of themselves," he said. "The curiosity of 'can I do this?' is over. It's a matter of going out and doing what they are expected to do."
While the senior runners might downplay the importance of being the most experienced, Redwine hopes that the age factor will benefit Kansas.
Laco wants his last year to be his best.
"It's your last opportunity to give it all you've got. There's no next year," Lacio said.
Redwine is proud of this group of soon-to-be alumni.
This is a special group of seniors," Redwine said. "These are people that show what being a Jayhawk is all about, that's why I'm proud of every senior we have."

KU Frisbee club strives to 'horrify'
BILLOW TOWNS
HorrorZontals led by veterans, new recruits
By Steve Vockrodt
Kansan sportswriter
To introduce the University of Kansas' ultimate Frisbee club only by its name — the Horror-Zontals — would do the team no justice.
As the official 'Zontals Website puts it: "To those who know it, the name 'HorrorZontals' brings memories of a team, a tradition, a family, and a damn good time. To our opponents, it brings nightmares."
The team aims to instill more horrific visions to competitors this season with a roster returning virtually every member from last year's squad as well as some new recruits.
Nick Casady, Overland Park junior, passes a Frisbee around a defender at Fools Fest XX last spring.
"It's really going to be tough to find a college team that can beat us," said Brian Powell, Barnhart, Mo., senior.
Ultimate Frisbee is played between two seven-man sides who advance a Frisbee by passing. Once in possession of the disc, the player cannot run any further and must make a pass. Once out of possession, the other team takes control of the disc and looks to advance it.
Players score goals by tossing the Frisbee past end zone lines.
Growing interest in the sport prompted the team to implement
a new roster format that will allow A and B teams to compete during the spring season.
The A team will feature more experienced players participating in highly competitive tournaments across the nation. The A team's goal is a berth in the national tournament in the spring.

The B team will accommodate the added interest in the team by providing a team for newcomers to participate and learn the sport.
Topeka junior Clay Davis said last season ended short of the 'Zontals expectations when

Vance takes new position with voracity
By Kelly McNearney
Kansan staff writer
Doug Vance began working for the University of Kansas Athletics Department before most KU sophomores were born.
Now in his 20th year on the department staff, Vance begins his first year as Associate Athletics Director for Communications. Vance takes on greater responsibility in his new executive role after serving in the media relations department.
"This is something I've been thinking about for a few years," Vance said. "I really wanted to influence the growth of the department."
Athletics Director Al Bohl created the position, giving Vance a greater administrative role in many different areas of the department. Bohl and his executive committee depend heavily on both internal and external communication, and will rely on Vance to improve that division of the department.
As associate athletics director of communications, Vance oversees media relations, marketing, information systems and the KU Hall of Fame. He serves as the liaison between the department and the University's licensing office, managing the use of the Jayhawk and other KU trademarks.
"Having worked a little bit with Doug Vance, I knew he had a lot of administrative experience, and this was perfect for him." Bohl said. "He's doing an excellent job."
He also coordinates the University's agreement with ESPN Regional. ESPN Regional assumes responsibility for all broadcasts of KU sporting events and the advertisements that accompany those games.
The new opportunity excited Vance, who embraced the upcoming challenges.
"This is one of the best things that's happened to me in a long time in this career," Vance said.
While Vance enjoys his new position, as well as being part of Bohl's executive committee, he will miss the connection he had with student athletes in the media relations office. He has adjusted to a role with less direct contact with media and coaches, but has enjoyed the aspects of his new job.
"I look forward every morning to coming to work," he said.
Focused on improving the communication division. Vance hopes to influence positive change in the department.
Mitch Germann, director for media relations, took over when Vance left.
"He has really made his mark in this business," Germann said. "We had big shoes to fill."

Passion for sports drives columnist to seek insight
So, what was your favorite read as a little kid? Your bread and butter of children's books, so to speak. The Berenstein Bears? Dr. Seuss? The Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew?
COMMENTARY
But my childhood was not like most in the reading aspect. To learn a little something about me — which is my goal for you, our readers — I deemed it necessary to reveal my primary childhood reading.
Those are all classics, and, yeah, I dabbed in those selections from time to time. I'll admit it. I was a Matt Christopher junkie.
And it wasn't any type of book. It's actually a version of what you're holding right now. It was the Omaha World-Herald sports page.
To be honest, I cannot recollect the first time my toddler eyes set in on the sports page. It was that long ago. And it really must have been a strange sight. A 5-year-old scanning statistics, vainly trying to understand foreign words.
Ryan Malashock rmalashock@kansan.com
COMMENTARY
A passion, somewhat of a 'relationship', formed through that sports page. It's a passion that has transcended over the years — through playing, watching and analyzing sports — into a lifestyle, and now an occupation. Sports to me is what peanut butter is to jelly.
Why am I telling you this, you ask? Call it a signal of credibility, an attempt to prove my worth. Sure, worth cannot be determined from a 189-word recounting.
but explaining my sports fanaticism was a decent starting point.
The late Jim Murray, the most talented sports columnist I've ever read, once said that great sports writing is not about sports, it's about people.
Look around us. The athletes we cheer. The athletes we boo. The athletes we live our fantasies through. Those athletes are just like you and me. They are University of Kansas students. They groan the same groun when we annoyingly walk to Western Civilization class. They party the same party on Thursday nights at Abe and Jake's.
And I couldn't agree more.
So this column will take you inside those athletes' minds. Together, we'll get to know these people for who they are our equals.
As for predictions, I'm never too hot on sticking my neck out. So for the moment, here are some brief observations—with a few general forecasts—on the Kansas sports year ahead:
■ Isn't it fantastic that campus is buzzing about Reggie Duncan instead of Kirk Hinrich? This is the first year I've been in Lawrence that the talk around town in August has not been Kansas basketball. Mark Mangino may not win many games this season, but he will instill fight and pride — nonexistent qualities in past Jayhawk teams — into his players. He has studied under two coaches — Bill Snyder and Bob Stoops — who thrived when faced with Mangino's situation. He will get the most out of this team, even if that is only good for 3-9 or 4-8. Only good things await Kansas football down the road.
If I had to name one football player and one only before the season that was irreplaceable, it would have been Harrison Hill.
Kirk Hinrich and Nick Collison will both be first-team All Americans. And the team will be in New Orleans come April. Whether Roy Williams finally brings home a national title depends on the team's ability to replace Drew Gooden's offensive rebounding and Jeff Boschee's clutch three-point shooting. Enter the current Je'is — Graves and Hawkins, that is.
The Jayhawk volleyball and soccer teams will shock the casual observer. The Big 12 will be mistaken to take these experience-laden teams lightly.
Marian Washington will win a Big 12 game this year, although eight newcomers will have to grow up fast for the women's basketball team to avoid another horrible season.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Aug. 27).
Put money away for the future. It shouldn't be that hard to save. Set an exciting goal for yourself, like a life-changing move for the better. Back to school? Relocate? Great vacation? It'll make the time whiz by.
Aries (March 21-April 19).
Today is a 7.
Use the natural enthusiasm you have for a game you play well. Catapult yourself toward success. In other words, do what you love. The money will follow.
Taurus (April 20-May 20).
Today is a 6.
You've just about had it with a household annoyance. You're getting tired of putting up with something that's bothered you. Choose comfort over a fashion you never liked in the first place. Make a choice you can live with.
Gemini (May 21-June 21).
Today is a 7.
Be bold, even if you're trying something you've never done before. The odds are good you'll get away with it if you act quickly.
Cancer (June 22-July 22).
This is a good morning to ask the boss for a raise. He or she might give you more without giving it much thought. It's best if you've actually earned it, of course.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 8.
Today is a 7.
No need to talk any more. It'll soon be time for action. Put the finishing touches on your plan so that you'll be ready.
A loved one may surprise you by taking on new challenges. If you're asked to participate, get involved earlier rather than later.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22).
Today is a 7.
You're like the pilot of a powerful but quiet machine. Don't be intimidated. Just because the others make more noise than you doesn't mean they're more important — or smarter.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21).

A's continue win streak

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Cory Lidle's scoreless streak was snapped after 32 innings because of an unearned run but the Oakland Athletics still managed to win their 13th straight game, beating the Kansas City Royals 6-3 last night.
Ramon Hernandez had three hits and drove in three runs as the A's extended the longest streak in the majors this season. The winning streak is their longest since they set an Oakland record with a 14-game string in 1988.

Hernandez had a two-run single in the Oakland four-run sixth. Jermaine Dye, who played with the Royals from 1997-2001 before being dealt to Oakland last July, and Ray Durham each added RBI singles. Dye, who had three hits, doubled home Miguel Teada in the ninth for the final run.
R
The Royals scored an unearned run in the second after an error by left fielder David Justice, the first run off Lidle (8-9) since the sixth inning on July 31 at Cleveland.
Billy Koch worked the ninth for his 34th save in 39 opportunities.
Michael Tucker opened the Kansas City second
with a fly to left that glanced off Justice's glove for a two-base error. Tucker advanced to third on Brent Mayne's groundout, but was out in a rundown when he tried to score on Perez's grounder to first baseman Scott Hatteberg.
Perez went to second during the rundown and scored on Luis Ordaz's single. Lidle's scoreless inning streak is the second longest for a starter in Oakland history, surpassed only by Mike Torrez's 37 shutout innings in 1976.
Lidle, who has thrown a pair of one-hitters this season, limited the Royals to three singles over seven innings. He did not allow a hit after Raul Ibanez's one-out single in the third. Lidle is 5-0 in August and has not allowed an earned run in 38 innings.
The As tied the score in the fifth, which Terrence Long led off with a double and scored on Hernandez' single.
Darrell May (3-9) allowed four runs and eight hits in five-plus innings.
Iowa State impresses Big 12
The Royals scored two runs in the eighth off the as bullpen. Mike Sweeney had an RBI single and Joe Randa hit a sacrifice fly.
DALLAS — Even in defeat, Iowa State may have helped the Big 12's claim as the nation's top conference, and their own claim as a program on the rise.
The league had five teams in the preseason poll and the Cyclones weren't among them. Yet they were the ones who came within one yard, and a controversial call, of beating then-No. 3 Florida State in the opener Saturday night.
"We are very aware of Iowa State," said Gary Barnett, coach of reigning Big 12 champion Colorado. "Even though it was a hard loss, it was a great showing of their university, their players and Dan. They'll get rewards from that."
Other Big 12 coaches said during a conference call with reporters Monday that they weren't surprised by the Cyclones.
McCarney is getting tired of this close-loss stuff. It also happened in ISU's previous game when a late field goal was ruled wide in a 14-13 loss to Alabama in the Independence Bowl.
This time, Iowa State rallied from a 51-7 deficit. Sure, the Seminoles probably let up a little, and the Cyclones did get a boost from a heavily pro-ISU crowd at Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium. But the bottom line is they were oh-so close to knocking off the mighty Seminoles.
IOWA STATE
CYCLONES
"To be able to come back as they did is just the way Dan McCurney is—he'd never, ever give in," said Kansas State coach Bill Snyder. "The important thing is that it carries over to his players and they responded accordingly.
The next step is getting over that hump. They've got to get that last yard, or make that last-minute kick. Then the turnaround will be in full gear.
"They've gotten enough credentials now that no one
should ever talk about Iowa State not being one of the teams to be reckoned with in the conference," said Texas coach Mack Brown.
Brown added that ISU will probably take out their frustrations on their next foe. That would be Kansas and first-year coach Mark Mangino, who will be making his coaching debut with a conference game — on the road.
"This is probably not the way I would've drawn it up." Mangino said.
Colorado coach works without friend
The Associated Press
BOULDER, Colo. — For Colorado defensive coordinator Vince Okruch, the pain of the recent loss of his friend and former co-coordinator Tom McMahon to cancer came flooding back during preparations for the season opener.
McMahon's handwriting appeared all over files on past matchups against Colorado State. In notes scribbled in margins, or on scraps of paper, McMahon wrote about the Rams' offensive tendencies and how he believed the Buffalo defense should respond.
"It really grabs at you," Okruch said.
No. 7 CU meets CSU on Saturday at Invesco Field at Mile High. And for the first time in four seasons, Okruch is making game preparations without McMahon, his close friend and co-defensive coordinator for three years. McMahon handled the pass defense, Okruch the run defense.
Okruch and McMahon not only spent time together watching tape and coaching players. They spent free time together.
"You have to have two people who can work closely together," said head coach Gary Barnett. "Unless it's the right fit, forget it."
it's like you lost a family member. And that'll never go away." Okruch said.
McMahon's job was filled by Vance Joseph, a former
CU player who served as a graduate assistant under McMahon. But Okruch clearly misses McMahon, who drew on nearly 30 years of coaching experience.
CPP
"When you'd talk about potential problems, the land mines you're bound to uncover, he'd say, 'I remember in'82, we did that at Arizona State," Okruch said. "I wouldn't go so far as to say it's uncomfortable, and I've fought allowing myself to think that way.
"It's not like you lost a co-worker, or lost a friend,
"But what I've found, without a co-guy there, I'm going through things two, three and four times because I don't have a guy in there who's got 25 years in the business."
Meanwhile, Okruch is promising a defense that is faster than in 2001, when the Buffaloes' defense allowed 161 points in the final three games of the season.

BIG 12 FOOTBALL
Nebraska, Iowa State stars named players of the week
DALLAS — Iowa State quarterback Seneca Wallace on offense, Nebraska cornerback Pat Ricketts on defense and Cornhusker kicker Josh Brown on special teams were named the Big 12 Players of the Week on Monday.
Wallace, of Sacramento, Calif., was 22 for 33 passing with 313 yards, two TDs, one interception, rushed 10 times for 15 net yards with one TD as ISU came within one yard of a possible overtime battle with No. 3 nationally Florida State in a 38-31 loss. He also had a 20-yard scamper to put the Cyclones in position to tie at the FSU one yard-line with four seconds left in the game but was stopped short on an option play on the game's final snap.
Ricketts, of Omaha, Neb., paced the Huskers with three pass breakups while making three unassisted tackles and defending ASU's All-America candidate wideout Shaun McDonald. Ricketts helped the Huskers limit the Sun Devils to 17-of-41 completions, and he also caused one pass interception in their 48-10 victory.
Brown, of Fovil, Okla., enjoyed one of his best career nights with a pair of 40 yard field goals and went 2-for-2 (40 yards, 42 yards) for the first time from that distance while at Nebraska. He was also successful on all six of his PAT attempts while scoring 12 points. He kicked off nine times for the Huskers — with eight going into end zone and seven going for touchbacks.
BASEBALL Owners, players move slowly toward agreement
NEW YORK — Four days before the strike deadline, baseball players and owners were taking tiny steps toward each other.
A day after criticizing players, owners made a new economic proposal that moved toward the union in an effort to head off a strike later this week.
Owners raised their thresholds for a luxury tax and lowered their proposed tax rates, and also slightly decreased the amount of local revenue they want teams to share. They also made a new proposal on testing for steroid use.

they lost in the regional quarterfinals to Louisiana State University.
Participation in fall club sports provides experienced players with an opportunity to hone their skills at a competitive level in preparation for the spring season.
"I played last fall and in one tournament this fall," said Julian Ryba-White, Manhattan junior. "It's a higher level of intensity; a different level."
Fall club seasons culminate in sectional, regional, and national tournaments in November before the college season gets underway in the spring.
For the rest of the 'Zontals, the fall season provides a learning experience for players and a chance for team members to form a team bond before A and
B squads form in the spring.
The 'Zontals will play host to the traditional Fool's Fest Tournament this spring in Lawrence. The Fool's Fest attracts teams from Colorado, Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska as well as area foes such as the Kansas State Flying Dorothy's. The tournament is among the last tournaments before the South Regional tournament.
"We are banking on being the best team in the region," Davis said.
Teams in the South Regional tournament must compete for the top position to win a berth to the National Tournament.
The 'Zontals must advance past last years regional champion, LSU, as well as other traditional foes like Texas and Texas A&M.
Beyond hopes of regional championships, the team looks for a positive atmosphere.
the field and get each other's backs on the field." Ryba-White said.
"(Ourgoal) is to be friends off
Ryba-White got involved in ultimate through word-of-mouth from friends and welcomed the sport as a change of pace from high school and club soccer, which shares many of the same qualities as Ultimate through its running, teamwork and strategy.
The 'Zontals welcome anyone of any ability or experience to come out for the team. The first practice will take place this Thursday. Contact the team through its hotline at 843-7099 or by e-mail at julianrw@ku.edu for times and locations. For more information, check the HorrorZontals' Web site at www.zontals.org.

Mangino's task, multiplied 10-fold. Not many prized baseball prospects even consider Kansas. Price brings West Coast knowledge and contacts to the program, giving the Jayhawks an edge in recruiting that hasn't been present in the past. As for this spring, the Jayhawks have the bats, but not the arms. A lot of 10-9 losses await them.

NEW YORK — Former champion Lindsay Davenport, seeded fourth and playing her first Grand Slam match of the year, defeated Eva Dyrberg, at the U.S. Open yesterday.
The Associated Press
Coming back from knee surgery that kept her out of action until July, Davenport needed just 43 minutes to advance. She had three aces and 23 winners against Dyrberg.
For Davenport, it was a return to a comfortable environment. She won the Open in 1998
against Martina Hingis, lost the final to Venus Williams in 2000 and reached the semifinals in 1997 and 1999.
Davenport cruises in U.S. Open, Williams sisters prove tough
Davenport arrived at the Open with just four tournaments for the year after missing the Australian and French Opens and Wimbledon because of her surgery.
On the men's side, current French Open champion Albert Costa eliminated Magnus Norman and Michael Chang eliminated Francisco Clavet.
Costa, who went on his honeymoon after winning the French.
lost in the first round at Toronto and second round at Cincinnati after returning to the tour. The clay court specialist advanced against Norman, who is still trying to regain his form after hip surgery sidelined him for six months.
As the tournament began, just one player in the field has solved Venus Williams, who can match her blend of power and court coverage: Serena Williams.
Serena was set to make her Open debut last night against Corina Morariu while Venus sat
The sisters have taken over women's tennis and are the players to beat. Venus has won the year's final Grand Slam tournament twice in a row, while Serena has won the past two majors.
In 2002, Serena has beaten Venus three times, the same number as everyone else in the world combined. They have combined to win seven of the past 12 major titles and have met to decide three of the past four Grand Slam tournaments.

Fallon to host awards show
NEW YORK -These days, comedian Jimmy Fallon is everywhere - the busy actor has landed on MTV. SNL, and even in People magazine.
The Associated Press
You can'tturn on MTV without seeing Fallon singing and dancing in commercials for the MTV Video Music Awards, for which he is a host on Thursday night.
You also can't miss Fallon's own video for "Idiot Boyfriend," the first song off his debut comedy album, "The Bathroom Wall," which just happens to hit stores two days before the music awards. In it, Fallon, a product of '80s pop culture, spoofs videos ranging from Prince's "When Doves Cry" to Bobby Brown's "Every Little Step."
"Clearly we want this to be the
MTV and MTV2 president Van Toffler said the comedian was a natural choice for the music videos after he co-hosted the MTV Movie Awards last year with Kirsten Dunst.
last big bash of the summer, especially before the country takes on a very somber tone around the anniversary of Sept. 11, and Jimmy can be both insightful and funny and light and sincere," Toffler said.
Fallon also just finished shooting the Woody Allen movie Anything Else, with Jason Biggs and Christina Ricci, which is scheduled to come out next year.
Then there is his day job — really his night job — on "Saturday Night Live."
Born in Brooklyn and raised in Saugerties, N.Y., Fallon always dreamed of being a cast member on the late-night comedy show, and has every episode on tape since 1986.
Dana Carvey was his idol, he said, for his ability to do impressions. Fallon's own impersonations got him his start on the standup comedy circuit while he attended the College of Saint Rose in Albany. Then they got him his dream job — his Adam Sandler impression was so dead-
on, it inspired "SNL" executive producer Lorne Michaels to hire him in 1998.
But fame has made sleep a rarity lately, Fallon said. He recently went to a resort for a weekend, just to catch up on rest.
"I'm trying to keep it cool because this is, like, a crazy month. I've never been this — I don't know, what do you say? — this out there since I started on 'SNL,'" he said. "I'm on every bus, and billboards and phone booths. The first couple of days, I couldn't even see it. I was like, 'I can't look at it.'"
He also landed on People magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People" issue this year.
Reporter Danielle Dubin, who was on the panel that chose the list, said Fallon's allure lies in his sense of humor.
"He's sexy without being threatening. He's adorable," Dubin said. "He looks like the funny guy you went to high school with who all the girls had a crush on."

Patriots need star to take title
The Associated Press
They are the defending Super Bowl champions, yet the New England Patriots probably are the third-best team in their division.
Such is parity in the NFL these days that the team that shocked everyone including some of its own players by winning the championship in January figures to struggle to earn a playoff berth.
Winning the AFC's best division? Not likely.
Of course, that's exactly what the Patriots want everyone to think. They sneaked up on the rest of the conference in 2001, and would have no problem with the same approach this year.
"We don't have any 'Prime Times.' We don't have any superstars," said Adam Vinatieri, whose clutch field goals won the controversial playoff game against Oakland and the Super Bowl against St. Louis. "The record is 0-0 right now and everybody's trying to get ready for September."
Everyone will be ready for the Patriots this time, which puts tremendous pressure on quarterback Tom Brady. The feel-good story of last season, Brady must build on his stunning success, and do it on a team that has more holes than most defending champions.
"I think we're going to have to find different ways to do different things that worked last year," Brady admits. "Probably some of them, I promise you, aren't going to work this year."
Some of the things that should work are Brady — who no longer has competition at the position with Drew Bledsoe traded to Buffalo — throwing to David Patten, Donald Hayes, much to the pleasure of rookie Deion Branch and veteran Troy Brown. Brown finally got the recognition he was due thanks to his performance down the stretch and through last winter's playoffs.
The power running of Antowain Smith and coach Bill Belichick's masterly defensive schemes were critical to last year's success.
But consider that Smith has been an inconsistent player throughout his career, the offensive line is so-so, and too many of Belichick's defenders are role players.
New England needs a star to emerge up front defensively; tackle Richard Seymour is a good candidate.
The Pats' biggest problem this season simply might be that both the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets are better.
And very hungry.
"You can tell that everybody's gunning for you," Smith said. "They look at it as the they're playing the defending world champions so we have to go out there and match everyone's intensity."
The Patriots will get a chance to do so early, facing the Steelers, Jets, Dolphins and Packers in the first six weeks.
Miami has an easier opening schedule and several significant additions. Most notable are RB Ricky Williams and offensive coordinator Norv
Look for the Dolphins to establish the kind of versatile running game they've lacked for decades. Williams might not lead the league in rushing, but he will have a bigger impact than any runner who switched teams.
Turner.
"ThethingsRickydoesaftertheball is snapped are unbelievable." said
NFL
Turner, who has produced a 1,200-yard gainer in eight of the past 11 seasons.
The threat Williams provides should ease QB Jay Fiedler's burden.
Coming off hip surgery, Fiedler should not be depended on too much. If Williams sets the offensive tone, then Fiedler and WR Chris Chambers, who was spectacular late in his rookie year, become more dangerous.
"I'm not one to brag," Chambers said, "but you can feel that this is a pretty good team. I can't wait until we go against somebody else and see what we can do."
The offensive line is in flux, though, and the defense needs more rest during games. It is a strong unit led by solid cover cornerbacks Sam Madison and Patrick Surtain, do-everything LB Zach Thomas and quick DE Jason Taylor. But the defensive line could be thin.
That's not a problem for the Jets, who added a No. 1 draft pick (Bryan Thomas) and three free agents (Steve White, Josh Evans and Larry Webster) to All-Pro end John Abraham. If Abra-
nam recovers well from a preseason knee injury and the other end, Shaun Ellis, awakens, the line will be formidable.
The linebacker trio of Mo Lewis, Marvin Jones and Sam Cowart already is. Cowart comes off a torn Achilles' tendon in the 2001 opener while with Buffalo. His return to form is pivotal.
New York's secondary is among the slowest in football, but it supports in run defense like no other in the conference.
The offense, in its second season under coordinator Paul Hackett's West Coast scheme, should be productive. QB Vinny Testaverde looks sharp at 38, and wide receivers Santana Moss and Laveranues Coles provide lots of speed. Curtis Martin is one of the five best running backs in football.
Oddly, the most improved team in the AFC East could be Buffalo, yet the Bills are destined to finish last. They won only three times in 2001, ranking next-to-last in points scored and allowed.
Bledsoe is a huge upgrade at quarterback, but the line is weak, there is no established running back and Bledsoe could be a sitting duck. Given time to throw, he'll find top-rate receivers in Eric Moulds and rookie Josh Reed, but he might not get the time.
The defense has been torn apart by free agency,retirements and injuries recently. Newcomer London Fletcher at middle linebacker will help,but not nearly enough.
St. Louis Rams close practices for three weeks
The Associated Press
ST.LOUIS—The St. Louis Rams, opting for secrecy at the start of the NFL season, announced Monday that practices would be closed the first three weeks.
Since the team moved to St.Louis in 1995, all previous practices had been
G
open to reporters. The decision by coach Mike Martz perhaps is related to a news conference incident last season during which a radio reporter asked him about seeing running backs Marshall Faulk and Trung Canidate together in the same backfield.
incident, Martz had to be talked out of closing practice.
It is an unwritten rule that in exchange for the privilege of watching practice, media is not supposed to refer to strategy they've witnessed. After the 2001
Before training camp began in July, Martz hinted that perhaps the Rams would not be so open with information as in past seasons. He
said yesterday the ban begins Sept.2 and that practice will be reopened to media
on Sept. 24, the day after the team plays the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the third game of the season.
Adam Schefter of the Denver Post, president of the Pro Football Writers of America, said 20 of the 32 NFL teams including the Rams have totally open practices. In all, 27, or all but five of the teams, offer some sort of access to practices.
"This is an important issue to the pro football writers," Schefer said.
Redskins wide receiver attributes success to faith
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Justin Skaggs was playing for the Arena Football League in Tulsa, reading Kurt Warner's book for inspiration, when the Washington Redskins finally called.
A wide receiver vying for a starting job
with the Redskins, Skaggs is hoping for the same kind of breakthrough that led Warner to two Super Bowls as quarterback for the St. Louis Rams.
western colleges. Both played in the Arena Football League.
Their paths are similar. Warner grew up in Iowa; Skaggs is from Wentzville, Mo. Both were overlooked by the NFL when they graduated from small mid-
And like Warner, Skaggs is a born- again Christian who attributes his skill and success to his faith.
"This is what God's blessed me to do, play football," Skaggs said during Redskins training camp this month in
Carlisle, Pa.
In fact, it was prayer that prompted Skaggs to send the Redskins a videotape that attracted the team.
He assembled a video of his highlights and mailed copies to 22 NFL teams, adding labels that read, "I dare you to watch this film," and, "Viewer discretion
The Redskins were the only team interested. Skaggs signed as a free agent in April 2001, then had an encouraging rookie season, moving from the practice squad to the active roster for the final two games.

Bid Day ends recruitment
Ceremony announces 635 women selected for sorority placement
By Todd Rapp and Matt Stumpff Kansan staff writers
Recruitment for women's sororities officially ended yesterday when participants walked onto the Budig Hall sidewalk to the sounds of "Girls Just Want To Have Fun."
The music was part of a ceremony announcing the placement of the 635 women who completed the recruitment process.
Emily Stelzer, Overland Park freshman, was inducted into Gamma Phi Beta sorority—her first choice.
"I am so excited," Stelzer said. "There's no way to describe how I'm feeling right now."
Emily Walz, vice president of recruitment for the Panhellenic Association, said the women were optimistic about Bid Day, but some walked away disappointed.
"I think emotions were high and women are excited to start the new year; said Walt, Prairie Village senior.
"But we do get some disappointment every year. We encourage everyone to give it a chance, but there is no obligation to stay if they are unhappy."
The recruitment process began Thursday and spanned the weekend. The women visited fewer houses each night, and then ranked their houses on Monday night.
The Panhellenic Association at the University of Kansas guarantees the women a bid in one of their top three choices after preference night.
Of the 819 women who enrolled in formal recruitment this year, 635 were placed in sororities. Last year, 600 women were placed in sororites out of 825.
Angie Carr, coordinator for fraternity and sorority life, said the recruitment administration encouraged the women to maximize their options.
"Very few universities guarantee a bid," Carr said. "It is very risky. We try to be fair to all the young women, but we have to be fair to each chapter to prevent one from getting a larger class than another."
"I am so excited."
Emily Stelzer
Overland Park freshman
Kelly Masters, recruitment counselor, said seeing disappointed women made the experience difficult.
"When you love the women you are in charge of and they get dropped by a chapter — your chapter — you get frustrated," said Masters, Pittsburg senior. "You want to say, 'Take this woman, she is such an outstanding person,' but there isn't the time for every chapter to truly get to know every woman."

Students discuss KU Info's future
By Caleb Nothwehr
Kansan Staff Writer
More than 20 students discussed ways to keep KU Info alive at an open forum meeting yesterday in the Kansas Union.
Mary Lee Hummert, interim vice provost for student support, said last week that the University was considering a plan to eliminate the telephone component of KU Info and switch it to a Web-based service.
Brian Thomas, Plano, Texas, junior, organized the meeting to inform and mobilize students. Thomas said KU Info was a successful, centralized service on the KU campus.
"It's one of the most used services on campus," Thomas said.
Galen Turner, non-traditional student senator and KU Info employee, attended the meeting on the current state of KU Info.
Turner said KU Info's funding had decreased, causing service to suffer.
"We're running as thin as we can right now." Turner said.
Students in attendance acknowledged the possibility of instituting an additional $1 to $4 student fee that would keep KU Info alive.
Student Body President Jonathan Ng said Senate was strongly in favor of maintaining KU Info as a phone line. He hoped an additional student fee was only a last resort.
"It's too early to speculate something like that." he said.
Ng said a resolution would be the first step in taking action to preserve KU Info.
Ngsaid he planned to introduce a Senate resolution next week to support keeping KU Info alive.
"Passing a resolution is the easy part," he said. "The hard part is finding viable solutions and alternatives where KU Info still exists in its current form."

irate House KU women pose for 'Playboy,' gain publicity
Pirate House residents call it quits
John Nowak/Kansan
By Michael Vennard Kansan staff writer
Jennifer Whalen, St. Louis, Mo., graduate, and Kristin Black, Wichita junior, converse with admirers as they sign issues of Playboy magazine in Hastings Books Music & Video, 1900 W.23rd St., on Tuesday.
The Pirate House, once a landmark punk institution and activist hotbed, is now just another whitewashed house in the Oread neighborhood.
The final incarnation of the Pirate House, 300 W.14th Street, fell apart late last May when the last wave of residents were unable to get along.
Desmond said the Pirate House was started with strong convictions to underground music, leftist politics, vegan
"Living in the Pirate House was supposed to be more than just having a room and paying rent," he said. "Some people didn't care about it and it just kind of died out."

For the record, Jennifer Whalen got her genital area pierced before she knew she was going to pose for Playboy.
Whalen, along with Kristin Black, Wichita junior, and Carey Oroke, Tonganoxie senior, appeared in the October issue of Playboy magazine after trying out last March at the Eldridge Hotel, 701 Massachusetts St.
"I got it a day after I turned 18, and it just kind of grew on me," said Whalen, University of Kansas graduate from St. Louis, Mo.
At 3 p.m.yesterday,the line of students stretched onto the sidewalks in front of Jayhawk Bookstore,1420 Crescent Road,where the three women signed copies of the magazine until 5 p.m.The bookstore sold 800 copies and received about 1.000 more yesterday afternoon business manager Janet Muggy said.
The bookstore had a shuttle driving students from the parking garage on Irving Hill Road to the bookstore to control parking problems. Two employees also provided security for the women.
Students, some holding multiple
copies of Playboy, had mixed reactions about the pictures.
Devin Carter, Overland Park senior, tried out for Playboy last March, but didn't approve of the final product.
"I don't think that they're posed tastefully," she said. "When I first saw the pictures, I was disappointed."
Ryan Hodge, Bentley sophomore, wasn't complaining.
"It's awesome," he said. "I was bragging to all my other friends at other schools about our girls."
Whalen said the Playboy experience had been pretty positive, although she wished they had chosen a different photograph.
"I went in and thought. I'm not going to put up a boundary; I didn't want to be shy," she said. "I wanted to portray a strong, confident woman because that's what I am."
Oroke said she was very happy with her picture. She was determined not to let her nervousness about the shoot hinder her.
She said getting ready for the shoot was nerve-wracking, but it was her fiancee's idea for her to try out in the first place. The women said reactions from classmates and professors had been positive so far.
She said she could choose how much she wanted to reveal when she was photographed, but otherwise the models had little creative input.
Oroke said the women had been awake since 4:30 a.m. to do publicity in Kansas City and Lawrence, but she said she enjoyed every minute of it.
"Today has been wonderful," Black said. "We've been treated like celebrities."

Two students receive $20,000 research grants
Two University of Kansas graduate students have landed $20,000 national postgraduate research grants for this school year. The U.S. Pharmacopoeia in Rockville, Md. awards six grants each year.
The winners — both doctoral students in pharmaceutical chemistry — are Chad S. Braun, Battle Creek, Mich. and Fei Tian, Beijing, China.
Braun is finding ways to deliver genes for genetic therapy for diseases in her project, "Biophysical Characterization of PAMAM Dendrimer/DNA Gene Delivery Complexes."
Tian is looking for ways to improve the stability of protein drugs, which can have short life lives. Her project is called "Calorimetric and Spectroscopic Investigation of Protein-Excipient Interactions in the Solid State Upon Freeze and Spray Drying."
"I'm very happy, because at first, I thought I would lose," Tian said.
The other four winners hail from the universities of Connecticut, Texas and Minnesota—which also produced two winners.

Man says civil rights abused by detective
WICHITA, Kan. — A Missouri man who claims his civil rights were violated in an Internet sex sting operation has sued a Wichita police detective who he says lured him to the city.
Gary L. Moore Jr., 27, a computer programmer from Kansas City, claims that Detective Jennifer Wright lacked probable cause to obtain a warrant to search his belongings for child pornography when he visited Wichita in March.
The lawsuit, filed Monday in U.S. District Court, also claims Wright falsely portrayed Moore as an Internet child stalker to get the warrant. Moore also contends that Wright exceeded her authority by seizing his laptop computer and other items from his car and hotel room.
Moore was charged but never tried in the case. A state charge of traveling from Kansas City to Wichita to have indecent liberties with a minor was replaced in April by a federal indictment, but the U.S. Attorney's office did not proceed with the prosecution.
Legislators scrutinize Graves' budget cuts
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Recent budget cuts imposed by Gov. Bill Graves came under fire Monday from two Democratic legislators, who suggested the Republican governor wasn't aggressive enough.
Earlier this month, Graves ordered $41 million in cuts to the state's $4.4 billion budget for the current budget year. Those cuts would leave the budget about 1.1 percent smaller than the 2002 budget.
But the Democrats, Sen. Paul Feleciano, of Wichita, and Rep. Rocky Nichols, of Topeka, suggested the cuts aren't deep enough to prevent a budget deficit when the fiscal year ends June 30.
Both Democrats serve on the Legislative Budget Committee, which had
a briefing from State Budget Director Duane Goossen, who defended Graves' decision not to cut deeper.
When Nichols pressed Goosen, the budget director said: "I'm sure that if you'd like to suggest another series of cuts, and suggested that ..."
Nichols interrupted, saying, "That would be a good compromise."
Goossen replied: "The field is open."
Goossen said Graves didn't cut deeper because he leaves office in January.
State revenues have been falling short of estimates for months, and Graves' cuts were designed to account for any shortfall through December. The estimates were made in March and will be revised in November.
Woman faces eviction, refuses to buy home
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) —A long time tenant of public housing projects, Patricia Madison says she isn't about to remove herself and three children from the only real home they've ever known—a home she helped build along with Habitat for Humanity.
But her "sweat equity" may be replaced with simple sweat over Habitat's effort to kick her out after she complained about shoddy workmanship.
"I go to bed with headaches because I never know when I'm going to get put out, said Madison. "They care nothing about me."
Owners of Habitat homes pay zero interest mortgages and must work 300 to 500 hours on their house and others.The organization has built more than 100,000 homes in more than 80 countries since its inception in 1976.
Madison's complaints illustrated by photos of loose shingles, chipped paint and a gravel-filled lawn, among others are a bitter twist on what has long been a labor of love for both the volunteer builders and the inhabitants who had previously been unable to afford a home.
The complaints have drawn an angry response from Habitat.
"Buying a home is a big investment. We're not forcing her to take the house," said Kelly Willoughby, executive director of Kaw Valley Habitat for Humanity. "If she doesn't like the house, all she has to do is leave."

Provost asks for more departmental budget cuts to cover shortfall
By Kyle Ramsey
Kansan staff writer
A request for departmental budget cuts went out to school deans at the University of KAnsas Tuesday in the wake of a heated 2002 legislative session regarding reductions in the state budget.
Provost David Shulenburger asked school deans to cut their budgets in response to Gov. Bill Graves' Aug. 15 announcement that the state budget be reduced by $41 million. The cuts equal
about 1 percent of the state's overall $4.4 billion budget for fiscal year 2003.
The statewide cuts mean an additional $1,177,594 in cuts for the Lawrence campus, or about 1 percent of the campus's state general-fund budget.
The University of Kansas Medical Center was also asked to reduce its budget by $825,126.
Shulenburger said the cuts aimed to help offset a predicted $108 million deficit in the state's budget during the next six
months. After that time, the governor could announce another cut.
"He believes he cut enough so he won't have a cash flow problem at the beginning of the year," Shulenburger said.
Although it's uncertain whether more shortfalls will be announced, the Provost is asking deans to prepare now for the possibility of another cut.
Of this year's tuition increase, only 4 percent will be allotted to close gaps created by the state.
budget shortfall. Shulenburger said the 4 percent was set aside to maintain the University's operation costs. Other revenue collected from the increase would go to enhance KU departments and services.
Stuart Bell, dean of the School of Engineering, did not have available the exact figure his school was responsible for cutting, but he did say the 1 percent campus-wide cut would be felt in his school.
"As those roll down to the different schools and then different departments," he said, "they have an effect on the programs we can support."
Bell said no matter where the slice was made, whether it be staff, faculty or academic programs, the effects would trickle down and ultimately affect students by increasing the work load of those still employed by the University.
For example, students could see a reduction in academic services or longer lines during advising.
Bell compared the school's budget to a home budget. Budget trimming begins with cutting non-essential costs and then moves to essential programs and positions.
"Eventually you begin cutting out lunch and supper." he said. "That eventually has a heavier impact on your programs."

Kevin Stout, Poteau, Okla., freshman, uses the Navy to pay for his education.

Freshman navigates difficult path to Kansas
By Vonna Keomanyvong
Kansan staff writer
If it weren't for the Navy, 20-year-old Kevin Stout may have never gone to college.
Although a lot of kids face financial hurdles when deciding on their college plans, few people experience what Stout and his family experienced.
Stout learned at an early age about the essentials of life. He and his parents lived off less than a $1,000 a month.
"My parents had to give up two of my older brothers and my older sister for adoption because they didn't have any money to take care of them," Stout said.
Stout grew up in a lower-middle class neighborhood in the small town of Poteau, Okla., which he calls a "hick-me-tropolis."
"We didn't have a car so we would walk," he said. "The longest we had to walk was maybe an hour to the Wal-Mart Supercenter. The walk never bothered me because I was used to it."
But despite his income status, Stout always wanted to go to college.
"In order to get a good job, you need some sort of degree. So I was going to do whatever I needed to do to get scholarships or loans," he said.
At first, Stout's dream of going
to college almost became reality when he was offered a full scholarship to the University of Oklahoma. But his hopes crumbled when he found out that the scholarship would barely cover the cost of a four-year degree.
But that still did not stop him from going to college. After Stout graduated from high school, he enlisted in the Navy.
Even joining the Navy seemed to pose problems for Stout, who at about 5'8" and 120 pounds, seems an unlikely candidate for the military.
"I get picked on for being the little guy all of the time," Stout said. "But it doesn't bother me because I've always been that way. Usually, I try to make jokes about it or turn it around and say that they're overgrown giants."
Bill Hobbs Sr., the father of one of Stout's best friends, said that Stout had always been ambitious.
"He was like a mad scientist." Hobbs said. "He used to build his own radios and computers. There are a lot of kids who are smart but he actually uses his smart."
Despite his size, Stout said he wanted to prove to everyone that he could excel in the Navy.
"I joined because I didn't feel like getting shot at," Stout joked.
"No really, any remote threat or
death doesn't outweigh the benefits of remaining in the service. In the service you have a steady job, good pay and if you work hard, you can move up."
"Even though he was picked on for being small, he didn't give a dang about what people thought," Hobbs said.
Stout is part of a Navy program called the Seaman to Admiral-21 program. Stout took a 9-week course at the Naval Science Institute in Newport, R.I., where he learned about weapons and basic ship engineering.
After he passed the course,
Stout enrolled at the University of
Kansas to begin his degree. The
program gives students $10,000 a
"It's nice that I can work on my degree without the distraction of having to work another job to make ends meet," Stout said.
Despite the obstacles, Stout is content with how he turned out.
"I'm the only normal person left because everyone thinks I'm weird," Stout said with a laugh. "I don't know. I think they're weird. I yam, what I yam."

Students pinch pennies by trying off-brand food
By Matt Stumpff
Kansanstaff writer
When looking to stock their pantries for the school year, students will do the Malt-O-Meal walk for cereal but won't usually cut corners everywhere to save a buck.
Local grocery stores offer a variety of off-brand versions of name-brand foods but at lower prices. These products are often alternatives for students on budgets.
Jim Lewis, owner of Checkers, 2300 Louisiana, said prices are so high on national brand cereal that customers are always on the lookout for the cheapest. Lewis said customers had already depleted a cardboard bin full of about 300 to 400 packages of marked down cereal that the store put on display last week.
"We sell a lot of what's cheap," Lewis said.
A wide variety of off-brand cereals await students at almost every grocery store in Lawrence. An example of off-brand cereal is Malt-O-Meal's Tootie Fruities which has a taste similar to Fruit Loops.
"There's not that much of a taste difference," Tara Pierce, Lenexa freshman, said.
Pierce said she doesn't mind off-brand cereal but can't eat some other generic food items.
John Olson, store director of Hy-Vee, 3504 Clinton Parkway, said products with the name "Hy-Vee" on them have as good a quality, if not better than national products. He said if someone didn't like the store's ketchup, it would be because of preference, not lack of quality.
"Some people just like to see the Heinz name on the bottle," Olson said.
jessica Summers, Springfield,
Mo., sophomore, said she would
n't buy most off-brand food.
"I have to have Kraft cheese. I don't like the off-brand stuff," Summers said. "I also have to have Dole juice."
Summers said she mostly bought name-brand food, but a decreasing bank account may force her to change her ways.
For those students who prefer all off-brand food, Aldi, 3025 Iowa, offers almost exclusively off-brand food.
Mike Haake, Olathe senior, said his kitchen was packed with items from Aldi.
Haake said the crowd at Aldi differs from other grocery stores in the area. He said he doesn't usually see students shopping at the store. "It's usually older people," Haake said.

This section should help students to understand both sides and make better decisions about their own beliefs.
If you have a suggestion for a topic that could be used in Face-Off, or if you would like to join the editorial board, please call Maggie Koerth or Amy Potter at 864-4924, or email opinion@kansan.com.
Department will let students appeal tickets
The KU parking department is one of the most talked about and hated facilities on this campus. Last year alone they issued 43,978 tickets, which did not make them many friends.
However, I have a different kind of story to tell about the parking department, one that is not often heard in conversation. My story is one of justice.
Last spring I had a meeting in the evening at Strong Hall, so I drove my car and parked underneath the covered parking lot in back. The sign in front of my car read, 'Restricted 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.' It was after six, so I pulled my car into the spot.
After my meeting was over, I walked back to my car only to find that ever-so lovely bright pink envelope underneath one of my windshield wipers. I was livid.
The ticket inside the envelope said my spot was a 24-hour restricted zone, yet I had not seen any such information on the sign in front of my car.
The question I now faced was — do I pay a $20 ticket or do I appeal it? I had heard from other students how impossible it was to appeal a ticket, but I decided this time the only thing I had to lose was $20.
The appeal process was simple. I simply went to the parking department website and filled out my complaint, I received an e-mail that same day saying they had received my appeal and the verdict would take approximately six weeks.
Summer eventually rolled around and I had almost forgotten about the ticket. Then one day I received a letter in the mail that said my fine had been taken away. The judges saw the problem in the ambiguity of the sign and were working to correct the problem.
Of course I was thrilled, but it also taught me a valuable lesson.
If you truly feel that you were unfairly ticketed, take the time and appeal it. Your appeal might bring attention to an unclear sign or even another problem that has gone unnoticed.
If you have an issue with the parking department go to their website and tell them. They have a special page designed for anyone to give feedback about the department as a whole, parking lots employees and policies.
Do not waste the parking department's time with ridiculous appeals that are only meant to delay the process. Rita Jordan, administrative officer for the parking department, said unrealistic excuses were the primary reason that only 231 appeals were granted out of 951 last year.
If you park illegally and you receive a ticket, face the consequences. To all the new students at the university: figure out now the places where you can and cannot park. It will save you much grief and money later in the year.

Students have reason to grumble
No school can give you a better first impression than by giving you a parking ticket in visitor parking on the first day of orientation.
You would think the first time you spend a day at a future college visit everything would be presented in an immaculate fashion — the bent top of the circular Chi Omega fountain, the beautiful concrete monstrosity on Wescoe or the notable five-star standards of McCollum where the smell of narcotics, builders say, comes as natural as the copper water pipes.
But after such wonderful sight-seeing extravaganza, my contentment was suddenly put in check by a pink parking ticket envelope.
I was quite perplexed by the irony of the situation.
One can only imagine the parking department being solely based on moral standards and good business; having only the best intentions to regulate against rebellious hoodlums.
Although many say the parking department is wonderful, the disconcerting truth is that more than twice as many parking passes are issued than there are places available. That unfortunate other half must dodge and stealth about all day, playing a dyslexic version of Marco-Polo with the parking department.
Holding the parking department with even greater prestige in my book of crooks is the arbitrariness of tickets.
If a parked car crowds your space, causing the right side of your tires to touch, not extend into, a handicapped parking lot, is a $100 fine considered just?
If Vicente Fox crowded an illegal immigrant causing him to touch the borderline, would the IRA start shooting? Maybe some would and some wouldn't. Maybe some would need to meet a ticket quota.
tem.
Many argue that the parking department is put in check by the appellant sys-
Unfortunately, it seems like it takes forever to get a set date — that is, if you even get that far by not having an employee clean out the incoming email folder, which inadvertently seems to happen. But if chance is on your shoulder and you do receive a trial date, you must then juggle the inevitable delays until it's enrollment time and you have a parking ticket hold.
And once again, you find yourself perplexed, standing at the crossroads between the path of unjustified justice or a future career at a T-shirt shop because you can't afford the tickets and late enrollment fees.
So be aware that the parking department is out there, and its employees are ticketing.

PERSPECTIVES
Readers' Rep. wants to be more than glorified Free For All
So I'm sure that by now someone's looked at that box labeled 'Talk to Us' and said, "Readers' Representative, who's that and why does she get her name by the editors?"
And if you're just noticing that this little box exists, then quite possibly that's what you're asking right now. Let me explain.
I've heard this position referred to as the student's voice, the liaison between the The University Daily Kansan and the student body, an opportunity for the individual to question the actions of the newspaper as well as ask for what he or she wants to see. To me, this sounds like a glorified Free for All.
I don't intend to stop with that simple of a description.
COMMENTARY
Here's how it really works. I am obligated to attend two group/club/organizational meetings each week. I take the information, the concerns and questions of the members of these organizations and I bring them to the Kansan on top of writing a column every Wednesday. That's the extent of what I do. The rest is where you come in.
COMMENTARY
I'm aware that you've all read this plea too often. How many times can you hear "The student newspaper is your newspaper. We need your contributions to make it great. Write us, e-mail us, call us, fax us, attack us in the streets with absolutely anything that we can use?" Eventually it all starts to sound like desperation on our part.
So I'm going to try to sound as least

You're a student at KU for a reason. Every day you are involved in classes, in presentations and in activities that impact some other human being. But with as large of a campus as we have,
how far does that impact reach? Despite all of our efforts, that impact is diminished too quickly after it's begun. This is where I step in.
Through the Reader's Representative, you all now have the option of taking your efforts to the top. Everyone sees the newspaper, some even read it. So instead of just founding a club or acting as president of your organization, invite me to your meetings and expose your purpose to the entire campus.
Yet, it's a two-fold position. On top of being your voice, I also get to be voice of the Kansan.

Minority programs hope to expand
Successful program becomes a model for minority retention
By Katie Nelson
Kansan staff writer
Attracting minority students to the University of Kansas is one thing. But keeping them here is another.
The Multicultural Business Scholars Program has been working with KU's minority business students for 11 years. And because of the retention program's success there are more than 40 students currently involved and 45 graduates officials are pushing for the program's replication within other parts of the University.
The departments of humanities and human development and family life and the schools of architecture and law have expressed interest in establishing their own programs, said Renate Mai-Dalton, associate business professor and director of the business retention organization.
The schools of education and journalism created their own programs last year, with seven undergraduate members each.
Participants in the programs receive scholarship money and mentoring throughout their college career. They are expected to attend monthly meetings and cultural events to keep their place in the group.
Involvement in the business program has helped Topeka sophomore Jessica Brown pay her tuition and improve her grades, she said.
"There's always someone on your case and watching out for you," Brown said.
Other programs, such as the Office of Multicultural Affairs' HAWK Link and the School of Engineering's diversity programs help retain minorities, but more are needed, said Susan King, director of the School of Education's PRIME program, or Program for the Recruitment and Retention of Multi-ethnic Educators.
"Retention is even more important than recruitment because it's more labor-intensive," King said. "Schools need to take responsibility for their students and take an active role in helping to retain them."
Donors such as KU graduate Doug Miller and his wife Audrey have donated funds for the creation of new retention programs.
"It's helping people help themselves," Doug Miller said. "If people are prepared to show the initiative and the drive, and the creativity and everything else it takes to be successful, I want to provide them with that opportunity."
Doug Miller received an undergraduate degree at KU in 1966 and a graduate degree in business in 1971.
New retention programs cost about $17,500 for groups of five to seven students, providing between $1,000 and $2,500 in scholarship money for each student per year.

Political clubs offer variety of activities
Political action groups at the University of Kansas are already hard at work, making a place for students to express a wide range of ideas.
KU College Republicans began meeting last night and will meet at 7:30 p.m. on alternating Tuesday nights in the Kansas Union.
Erin Blocher, College Republicans president, said much of its work this semester would be helping GOP candidates by doing literature drops and setting up yard signs.
"I think our group is pretty indicative of Kansas Republicans in general." said Blocher, Colorado Springs, Colo., senior.
KU Greens will meet every Monday night at 8 p.m. in the Oread Room of the Kansas Union. Dalyn Cook, former KU Greens president and Colorado Springs, Colo., senior, said the
9/11 anniversary was their most imminent project.
"We'll be talking about not only the domestic tragedy, but also the events that have occurred in and around Afghanistan" Cook said.
Stephen Duncan, former KU Liberty Hawks president and Lawrence senior, said the student Libertarian group does not yet have plans for this year.
KU Young Democrats will meet at 7 p.m. tomorrow and then on alternating Thursdays in the Kansas Union. Robin Anderson, Young Democrats president, said the group's work this semester would be based around campaigns central to Lawrence and Douglas County.
"We're trying really hard to connect the campaigns to campus," said Anderson, Topeka senior.

Kansas waits on rulings
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — The Kansas attorney general's office still doesn't expect to get any money out of Colorado anytime soon in the long-running dispute over the Arkansas River.
And some Kansas legislators are frustrated.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1995 that Colorado diverted millions of gallons of river water to which Kansas was legally entitled. That decision came 10 years after Kansas sued, claiming Colorado violated a 1949 river compact.
Last year, the court ruled Kansas is entitled to money as well as water from Colorado. But since then, the two states have been arguing before a special court-appointed master over how much.
Colorado's figure for monetary damages is between $20 million and $25 million, while Kansas puts the number at $53 million. Kansas has spent roughly $17
million on the lawsuit.
John Campbell, senior deputy attorney general, said the master's next report to the justices isn't expected until the fall of 2003 — months after the 2003 fiscal year ends.
"In litigation, you never really know how fast it's going to go." Campbell said.
Campbell spent a half-hour Monday with members of the Legislative Budget Committee, briefing them about the state's lawsuit against Colorado and another against Nebraska over the Republican River. That session was closed to the public.
The chairman, Sen. Steve Morris, R-Hugoton, said he is frustrated by the delay in getting the case resolved, adding, "It just seems like it's taking forever."
Another committee member, Rep. Melvin Neufeld, R-Ingalls, said: "Colorado hired the best lawyers money can buy to stall. If they were inclined to get it settled.
it could be done relatively quickly."
In Denver, Joan Padilla, assistant attorney general, said Colorado officials anticipate a ruling from the special master by year's end.
"There is still a significant issue as to the amount of money to which the state of Kansas is entitled," Padilla said.
But a 1996 Kansas law limits how the state could spend money received from Colorado to litigation costs and water conservation projects.
Neufeld said for people in his area, an increased flow of water is more important than money.
Any resolution of the lawsuit with Nebraska over the Republican River appears years away. Kansas filed it in 1998, and another special master has yet to rule on Kansas' claim that Nebraska allowed the river to be depleted as it flows into north-central Kansas.
cooking and the punk rock do-it-yourself aesthetic.
Pirate House
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
"When I moved in there were shows every week and a weekly vegan pot luck dinner on Thursday nights," Desmond said. Pirate House residents personally booked and promoted all the bands that played the residential venue.
Desmond said that when the bulk of the politically and socially conscious residents moved out, the replacements proved to be more interested in partying than in booking and promoting shows in their home.
Mike Tuley, now a University of Missouri - Kansas City student, booked the Locust show, which spilled over into the street and blocked traffic. The November 2001 show drew a crowd of about 500 fans, the attention of the landlord and police cruisers.
"They played on the porch and it was so insanely loud that the police were there in six minutes. My friend timed it," Tuley said.
News of the event reached landlord Betty Crow, who then met with the residents to inform them of new rules regarding gatherings. Crow said that no more than 10 people could convene at the house at one time from then on, but changed the rules after reading about the house in Student Senate's Disorientation Guide.
In 2002, few shows were scheduled, and with poor attendance, residents began to have disagreements. The house was in poor condition. In late May, the residents of the Pirate House went their separate ways.
"At first it was just three or four punk kids in a house who liked to spray paint on the walls and have shows." Turley said. "It was real tongue-in-cheek at first, but I think that feeling was lost in the end."
Over an almost three-year period, the four-bedroom Pirate House grew into a seven-bedroom shelter that played host to more than 30 residents. The residents moved on, but Crow was not sure if the house would recover.
"The walls, ceilings and all the fixtures were trashed. We reid a whole bathroom after stripping it down to the studs. Every room had to be painted." Crow said, trailing on into a long list of repairs.
Cleaning began when a group of more than 40 activists and friends of former Pirate House residents who were in town for a national anarchists convention labored for two days to clean the home in exchange for squatters rights during the July gathering.
New tenants moved into the house in August while repairs were still under way.
"We've still got a lot of work to do," Crow said. "But the old tenants probably can't believe the difference."
Desmond said the home has gained a certain amount of notoriety in the punk underground.
"There are still people who come through town looking for the Pirate House," Desmond said, "and I just tell them they missed it."

Convict could face death row
The Associated Press
SAN JOSE, Calif. — A former hotel handyman was convicted Monday of the 1999 slayings of three Yosemite park tourists in a crime that shattered the serene image of one of America's most treasured places.
Cary Stayner, 41, was found guilty of three counts of first-degree murder and a charge of kidnapping. He could face the death penalty because the jury found the crimes were committed during other felonies, including burglary and attempted rape.
Defense lawyers conceded that Stayner killed Carole Sund, 42, her daughter, Juli, 15, of Eureka and Silvina Pelosso, 16, of Argentina, but they said he was insane and asked jurors to convict him of second-degree murder
— a verdict that would have spared him the death penalty.
The three women had been staying at the rustic motel where Stayner worked as a handyman outside Yosemite National Park.
Their slayings in February 1999 went unsolved for nearly six months until Stayyner struck again, snatching Yosemite nature guide Joie Armstrong and beheading her near her cabin in the park. He's serving life in prison without chance of parole after pleading guilty in federal court to first-degree murder in Armstrong's death.
"It's a vindication of our feeling that this definitely is a death penalty case and that it was a horrendous crime," said Carole Carrington, the mother of Carole Sund.
Stayner's lawyers plan to present an insanity defense to try and spare his life. Jurors have already heard extensive testimony from experts that Stayner was impaired by a medial of mental illness symptoms and a deformed brain.
At this stage in the trial, that evidence was used by the defense to show he didn't kill intentionally.
In the sanity phase, the defense will build on that foundation to try to prove that Stayner didn't know he was killing or didn't know it was wrong. If that strategy fails, a third phase of the trial will be held to determine if he should be sent to death row.
Stayner told FBI interrogators that he had fantasized for months about sexually assaulting young girls and then killing them.
On the night of Feb. 15, 1999, he said he saw "easy prey" through the open blinds of Room 509 at Cedar Lodge.
He went to the room where he lived at the lodge and grabbed his killing "kit" that included duct tape, rope, a knife and a gun. He used a ruse to get in the room, pretending to check for a leak.
Stayner strangled Carole Sund while the girls were bound and gagged in the bathroom. He dumped her body in their rental car trunk. He also strangled Pelosso, then put her body in the car trunk.
Early the next morning, Stayer drove Juli to a reservoir in the Sierra foothills, sexually assaulted her, then slashed her throat. He covered her naked body with brush on a hillside and left.
Stayner ditched the rental car off a rural highway and took a $125 cab ride back to Yosemite. He told investigators that he wasn't upset about what he had done, he was only concerned about getting to work in time.
He later returned to the car and torched it.
Scores of law enforcement officers unsuccessfully scoured the region looking for clues to where they vanished, but there was barely a sign of the three for more than a month until the scorched car was found by a hunter.
The two bodies, burned beyond recognition, were found in the trunk. A week later, investigators found the decomposing body of Juli.
Missing girl's remains identified
Second body found behind rental home; man jailed for rape now primary suspect
The Associated Press
OREGON CITY, Ore. - A body found over the weekend in a barrel has been identified as one of two girls who vanished from their apartment complex last winter, police said Monday night.
Police Chief Gordon Huiras said the 12-year-old girl, Ashley Pond, had been identified through dental records.
Both bodies were found behind the rental home of a man who authorities say is a suspect in the girls' disappearance.
Her remains had been found Sunday, one day after authorities discovered the body of 13-year-old Miranda Gaddis in a shed.
The suspect, Ward Weaver,
had been jailed since Aug. 15 on
an unrelated rape charge, and hasn't been charged in the girls' deaths. However, chief deputy district attorney Greg Horner said Monday that he would present the case to a grand jury.
Weaver's attorney, Tim Lyons, said "We are going to await the return of the indictment and see what the charges are and proceed from there."
The girls disappeared last winter, prompting a nationwide search that ended over the weekend just a few hundred yards from the apartment complex where they had lived.
FBI investigators returned to Weaver's property Monday with high-tech equipment, a backhoe, shovels and pickaxes to search for any evidence that might be hidden in the earth.
FBI spokeswoman Beth Anne Steele said investigators didn't believe there were any more bodies on the property, but said they "want to clear the property to make sure there's nothing else."
The girls' relatives said Monday they were frustrated and devastated that the bodies were found so close to the girls' apartment complex.
"Detectives and police stood out here all hours with posters and they were right here all along," said Terri Duffey, Miranda's aunt. "They came in and out of that driveway 100 times and they were right there, I mean right there and we couldn't do anything."
A security fence erected by police around the property has become a makeshift memorial — festooned with flowers, teddy bears, and notes in which people have expressed their grief.
"We are never going to forget what happened. This is going to hurt my daughter for the rest of her life," said Wes Duffey, Miranda's grandfather.
Weaver said weeks ago that he was a suspect in the FBI investigation, but denied any involvement. Weaver agreed to the search because he wanted to "bring closure to the families,"
mis attorney told The Oregonian.
Lwons did not elaborate.
weaver was charged earlier this month with raping his 19-year-old son's girlfriend. His distraught son, Francis Weaver, then told emergency dispatchers that his father had killed Ashley and Miranda.
"I'm very glad that Ward will never be able to hurt anyone ever again, nor destroy any more lives," Francis Weaver told KATU-TV in Portland late Sunday.
Last summer, Ashley had accused Weaver of molesting her, but he denied the allegations and was never charged. Family members and friends have said they had a close, and at times inappropriate, relationship.
Ashley's family last saw her on Jan. 9 eating breakfast with her younger sister before school. On March 8, Miranda disappeared from the same low-income apartment complex south of Portland.
Wildfires cause damage across U.S. as firefighters struggle to tame blazes
The Associated Press
FENTON LAKE STATE PARK, N.M. — A wildfire burned Monday across 2,200 acres of ponderosa pine and pinon forest in northern New Mexico, quickly devoured four summer homes and forced campers and homeowners to evacuate.
"It's traveling quite rapidly, spotting along the way," said Dolores Maese, a spokeswoman for the Santa Fe National Forest.
People evacuated from Seven Springs, which Maese called a community of "a few hundred homes," and an area called Thompson Ridge. Fire officials did not know how many people fled.
"Before I left,I could see right
down the canyon and the flames were leaping up the trees," said Doug Supritime, who has lived in Seven Springs for 10 years. "That's when I knew it was time to get out."
It was not immediately known what caused the fire in and near Fenton Lake State Park, about 50 miles north of Albuquerque.
Elsewhere, a helicopter that was fighting a wildfire in southwestern Colorado crashed Monday, injuring all four people on board.
The Bell 206 helicopter was making an initial attack on a wildfire about 15 miles west of
"Before I left, I could see right down the canyon and the flames were leaping up the trees. That's when I knew it was time to get out."

Saguache when it went down, said Larry Helmerick, a fire information officer with the Rocky Mountain Coordination Center.
One person suffered severe head, back and neck injuries. The others suffered minor injuries, according to Mark Struble,
spokesman for the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho.
Crews in southwest Oregon and northern California hoped to complete a nearly 300-mile containment line around a 50containment wouldn't be declared until later in the week, fire officials said.
No structures had been damaged by the fire, which started Saturday in the Shoshone National Forest. Authorities asked 30 to 40 residents of Red Canyon and the occupants of 15 summer cabins along Pass Creek to evacuate.
In central Wyoming, firefighters guarded ranch houses against a wildfire that had grown to 5,120 acres in two days.

Arab states urge restraint in war with Iraq
The Associated Press
CAIRO, Egypt — America's allies in the Arab world fear a U.S. strike on Iraq would thrust their already unstable region into chaos, and they and others are urging Baghdad to act to avoid war.
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said on Tuesday that Arab leaders would not be able to contain outrage in the street in event of a U.S. attack on Iraq.
"There might be repercussions and we fear a state of disorder and chaos," Mubarak said at a question-and-answer session with Egyptian university students in the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria.
Mubarak, who sent his troops against Iraq a decade ago as part of the U.S.-led Gulf War coalition, said that this time he had warned the United States against attacking Iraq at a time when Palestinian-Israeli violence is roiling the Arab street.
President Bush has called for Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to be toppled, saying his development of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons threatens the United States and the world in general.
Even as administration officials stress that no decision has been made, they have been stepping up talk about why such an attack is needed.
The administration has accused Baghdad of rebuilding its banned weapons programs and supporting terrorism and said it wants a "regime change."
Saudi Arabia, which during the Gulf War welcomed U.S. troops to protect it from Iraq, joined Mubarak in reiterating opposition to a U.S. attack. Saudi foreign policy adviser Adel al-Jubeir told CNN on Tuesday that the Saudis feel strongly that Saddam Hussein should be dealt with diplomatically.
"We don't believe that the case has been made in terms of a war against Iraq, and we don't think that people have thought through all the consequences," al-Jubeir said.
At the Cairo headquarters of the Arab League on Tuesday, diplomats said, permanent representatives clashed over an Iraqi request to include an Arab message of support for Iraq on the agenda of a regional foreign ministers meeting set for next week.
Arabs, though, also have reason to be wary of Saddam. He invaded a fellow Arab state, Kuwait, in 1990, setting off the 1991 Gulf War.
Many Arab governments wanted to include wording urging Iraq to accept the return of U.N. weapons inspectors, while Baghdad instead sought a firm Arab statement of solidarity, the diplomats said. In the end, they accepted a formula proposed by the Palestinian ambassador to the
U. N. sanctions imposed on Baghdad after its 1990 invasion of Kuwait cannot be lifted until inspectors certify that Iraq's biological, chemical and nuclear weapons have been destroyed.
league, Mohammed Sobeib, that they discuss threats against "some Arab countries, especially Iraq."
U. N. weapons inspectors left Iraq in 1998 and Baghdad has barred them from returning, claiming it has met all U.N. requirements.
King Abdullah II of Jordan, another close U.S. ally in the region, told his countrymen in a speech earlier this month that he rejected U.S. war threats against Iraq.
But, he added "the decision in the end is that of the Iraqi leadership, they bear the responsibility before their people, (the Arab) nation and the world."
Iraqi Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan met in the Syrian capital of Damascus Tuesday with Syrian President Bashar Assad, and a Syrian official who spoke on condition of anonymity said the two discussed the threat of a U.S. strike on Iraq. He did not give details.
Ramadan blamed weapons inspectors for being "the reason" for U.S. strikes on Iraq since the Gulf War, and argued that allowing them to return to Iraq would not prevent a U.S. attack.
Oatari Foreign Minister Sheik Hamad
told reporters during a visit to Baghdad Monday that Qatar opposed any military strikes, but wanted Iraq to accept the return of U.N. weapons inspectors.
The governments of Lebanon, Oman, Yemen, and the United Arab Emirates, along with non-Arab Iran, have all repeatedly expressed their opposition to a U.S. military strike against Iraq, saying both countries should solve the dispute through diplomatic means. They have also urged Iraq to implement U.N. resolutions on weapons inspections.
Elsewhere, British Prime Minister Tony Blair, considered America's chief ally on the Iraq question, has spoken frequently about the threat posed by Saddam.
However, Blair faces public skepticism and strong opposition within his own Labor Party to a military attack.
"We don't rule out the possibility of military action and neither in our view should anybody else," British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw told an audience of business representatives in Scotland on Tuesday.
Europe has generally opposed a strike. Israel has pledged to stand with the United States.
Saddam launched missiles at Israel during the Gulf War and was expected to try to draw the Jewish state into any new war with the United States to rally Arabs to its side.
Summit responds to hunger
The Associated Press
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — Delegates to the World Summit on 'Sustainable Development' called Tuesday for more efforts to bring new agricultural technologies to poor farmers to help feed the developing world.
The 10-day summit, which began Monday, is focused on uplifting the world's poor and protecting the global environment.
About 800 million people go hungry every year and about two-thirds of the world's farmland is affected by land degradation.
"There is no point of having healthy children if they are going to die of malnutrition," said Pedro Sanchez, former director of the International Center for Research in Agroforestry. "There is no point in being an environmentalist with an empty stomach."
Meanwhile, negotiators continued trying to reach a compromise on the conference's implementation plan, which many delegates hope will include detailed timetables for tackling problems of energy, biodiversity, food security, clean water and health care.
Developing nations are trying to extract more aid and greater access to Western markets and technology from the summit. The United States is resisting any new aid targets or timetables, while demanding that aid recipients reduce corruption.
The summit was sealed off by concrete barriers and metal fences. An 8,000-person security force is deployed to help prevent the kind of violence seen in past years' international meetings in Seattle and Genoa, Italy.
During Tuesday's session, many delegates railed against European agricultural subsidies
and said they made it difficult for poor farmers to compete on the world market.
Sanchez recommended that wealthy countries commit 5 percent of the money they spent on subsidies to fight hunger in the developing world.
Delegates said new technologies in fertilizers and other agricultural sectors could help reverse that trend, but those advances need to be shared.
"We can roll back hunger immediately," said M.S. Swami nathan, an expert on sustainable agriculture.
About 150,000 poor farmers in Africa were using new, sustainable technologies in fertilizer and soil replenishment and, as a result, were far more productive than their neighbors, Sanchez said.
"It can be done gentlemen. The question is do we have the political will to do it," he said.
Lawmakers urge Bush: seek Congress' approval before sending troops
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Legal questions aside, lawmakers say President Bush needs to seek Congress' approval before sending American troops to attack Iraq because it's the right thing to do. Vice President Dick Cheney warned of grave consequences from not acting quickly against Saddam Hussein.
doesn't need explicit authority from Congress to wage war with Iraq, presidential spokesman Ari Fleischer told reporters Monday in Crawford, Texas, where Bush is vacationing.
White House counsel Al Gonzales told Bush this month that he
"I don't play this game so much on what's legal and what's not legal," Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., said of a U.S. attack on Iraq. "If the president is going to commit this nation to war, he'd better have the support of the Congress and the American people with him."
Cheney, speaking at a Veterans of Foreign Wars convention in Nashville, Tenn., dismissed as "deeply flawed" the logic of those who argue against a pre-emptive strike on Saddam.
Those who say Iraq should be attacked only if Saddam develops a nuclear weapon would later argue "we cannot because he has a nuclear weapon," Cheney said.
That would lead to "a course of inaction that itself could have devastating consequences for many countries, including our own."

SEATTLE — Boeing delivered its "best and final" offer to the Machinists union Tuesday, calling for a 20 percent pension increase by the contract's third year and a boost in the ratification bonus — from 6 percent to 8 percent of a year's pay.
Boeing delivers proposal
"It's very attractive economically. It's very competitive and we hope they find it acceptable," said Alan Mulally, chief executive officer of Boeing Commercial Airplane Group, at a news conference.
Union spokesman Matt Bates said Boeing's offer "is, on every count, unsatisfactory."
"That's a big message that we're sending to our customers if we choose to walk away from our commitment to them," he said of the possibility of a walkout.
A strike would hurt both sides with the airline industry struggling and the economy faltering. Mulally said.
The union is scheduled to vote Thursday on whether to accept the contract and whether to strike if the contract fails to win a simple majority. The current contract is set to expire Sunday at midnight.
Union leaders contend Boeing is provoking its largest union to strike.
"It's incredible," Dick Schneider, the union's lead negotiator, said Monday. "This is a company that wants a strike."
Boeing officials said Monday they don't want a strike by their largest union but are trying to negotiate a contract "grounded in economic reality."
"We are in the midst of the worst downturn in commercial aviation history," Boeing spokesman Chuck Cadena said. "Our customers are on life support."
The airline industry, already weakened by a recession, has been in massive turmoil since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. For its part, Boeing cut its commercial production in half and since Sept. 11, the company has laid off or issued notices to nearly 30,000 people.

State of game due to duped owners
Unless something magical happens in the next two days, the Major League Baseball Players Association will go on strike Friday, bringing the baseball season to a halt and perhaps wiping out the postseason.
As during the last strike in 1994, many of baseball's fans are directing their anger at MLB players. But if this labor war results in the third cancellation of the postseason since 1903, fans shouldn't direct their venom at the players.
They should blame the owners
Baseball fans' anger toward the players stems from jealousy and a hatred of greed, which is understandable. Baseball players make more money to play a silly game than most people who do more important, boring work will ever see. On top of that, many of these spoiled players who already make millions have the gall to want even more.
Baseball players are greedy; there's no denying that. But sometimes, greedy people can be stopped from getting what they want. Why have baseball salaries escalated nonstop in the last two decades, to the point where the average salary is now more than $2 million?
Baseball players keep making more and more money for one reason owners keep paying them more and more money. Alex Rodriguez's agent told the baseball world his client was worth $200 million over ten years, so Texas Rangers owner Tom Hicks happily shelled out $252 million.
Because owners are willing to pay those salaries.
Players don't even have to be very good to cash in anymore. Darin Erstad of the Anaheim Angels, a completely ordinary player with a mediocre .318 on-base percentage and little power, just signed a four-year, $32 million contract extension.
Things didn't have to be this way, though. The owners could have decided for themselves a long time ago — the aftermath of the 1994 strike would have been a good time — that they weren't going to spend outside their budget, like smart businessmen usually do.
Had the owners shown that kind of restraint, salaries would never have escalated faster than most teams can generate revenue.
There's no need for an official salary cap when owners can simply say, "No, we're not going to spend any more money."
It never would have occurred to the players that they could soon make as much as $21 million per year.
But the owners never showed any willingness to stop spending. Like most rich people who like to remind the world that they're rich, the owners kept spending more, offering more ridiculous contracts each year.
The owners' inability to police themselves, combined with commissioner Bud Selig's inability to police anything, has produced baseball's current situation.
The Players Association is fighting the owners' new efforts to drag salaries because the players have never failed to get their way.
get their way. The players are threatening to strike because they believe that if they continue to fight the owners, there will never be a ceiling on the amount of money baseball players can make.
They're probably right. And if the two sides don't reach a new labor agreement by Friday, the owners' inability to say no will likely result in another perfectly good baseball season shot to hell.

At yesterday's press conference, Kansas football coach Mark Mangino announces that Zach Dyer will be the team's starting quarterback. Mangino chose Dyer but said that he would not hesitate to use Bill Whittemore, a junior transfer from Fort Scott Community College, as a replacement during Saturday's season opener at Iowa State.
Dyer earns QB job
Dyer will start for Hawks against Cyclones in opener on Saturday

The quarterback controversy is over.
"Zach Dyer will be the starting quarterback Saturday. He's earned the job." Kansas coach Mark Mangino told reporters at yesterday's press conference.
Dyer, back-up quarterback Bill Whitemore, and third-string quarterback
Jonas Weatherbie competed for the starting job throughout the preseason.
"It's not a feeling of surprise," Dyer said. "We've been battling back and forth."
For his part, Whittemore, a junior transfer from Fort Scott Community College, said there were no hard feelings.
"If I don't get to play that's fine as long as the team's doing good. That's what we're shooting for." Whittemore said.
Now that the job is his, Dyer said he will concentrate on leading his team.
"I'm going out there trying to win football games," he said. "I'm not worrying about getting yanked or not getting
vanked."
Mangino said no position was secure until after a few games, but he felt comfortable with Dyer. He said he wouldn't hesitate to use Whittemore in Saturday's opener against Iowa State, but he wouldn't switch back and forth during the season. Dyer and Mario Kinsey, who transferred to Sam Houston State University last spring, shared time as quarterback for most of last season.
"We'll get a feel for the game, but our plans are to use Zach as a starter, and we're confident in him," Mangino said.

With the fall season just around the corner, the Kansas tennis team finds itself without a place to practice and play tournaments.
On Aug. 1, the Bishop Seabury Academy purchased the Alvamar Tennis and Swim Club to expand the size of the Academy.
Bob Billings, President of Alvama Inc., said that Bishop Seabury was looking for another location because they had insufficient space at the current school.
The decision to sell the club will affect the tennis team because of its past use of the indoor facility to practice and play matches.

Graves hires recruiter, volunteer
By Steve Schmidt
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas baseball coach Rich Price filled two of the three remaining positions on his coaching staff Monday.
Price enlisted Graves from Cal-Poly San Luis Obispo, where Graves helped with recruiting and pitching for three years.
Price appointed Ryan Graves as recruiting coordinator and Reggie Christiansen as a volunteer coach. He will name his third assistant on Sept. 15.
"I think he's one of the top assistant coaches in the country," Price said. "He's got a really good background."
Graves, 27, spent a season in the Chicago Cubs' farm system after a college career as a left-handed pitcher at Loyola Marymount from 1992-95 and later at Oklahoma State from 1995-96.
During the next few months, Graves will re-acquaint himself with the Midwest by making in-home visits to respective recruits and talking to area high school coaches.
Graves hopes new players will consist of local products but is also looking past the state line.
"I think it's exciting because obviously the Big 12 is one of the best conferences in the nation, if not the best," Graves said. "I'm excited to get back to the Midwest. College athletics is at the forefront out here. It's in the spotlight more out here."
"My biggest concern is getting the best players to come to the University of Kansas," Graves said. "From a recruiting standpoint, we're going to go after the best kids in the Midwest, but at a school like this we can afford to recruit at a national level. We can go outside the state and look for players."
Christensen's main duties will include working with the outfielders and serving as the team's first base coach. He is the former head coach at Menlo College in Atherton, Calif. — a school Price took over earlier in his career and led to sev-
Sophomores key players this season
By Nikki Overfelt
Kansan sportswriter
"They are big shoes to fill," Gilfillan said.
Monica Brothers and Rachel Gilfillan, sophomore forwards for the Kansas soccer team, have the task of filling the shoes of Hilla Rantala, holder of the Jayhawks' single-season scoring record.
Last year Rantala, in her final season before graduating, led the team with 32 points—10 goals and 12 assists. She also lead the team in scoring and assists in 1999, before medical redshirting in 2000.
Despite these statistics, neither Brothers nor Gilfillan is feeling the pressure of filling Rantala's void.
"I wouldn't say pressure," Gilfillan said. "I guess I have high expectations for myself. It's a bit nerve-wracking, but I just have to focus and follow in her lead and do the best I can."
Brothers agreed. "It's really not about pressure or scoring or filling a role," she said. "It's about playing our best."
"I think we're looking for them to help out the new guys and provide just a little bit of leadership," he said.
Now that Rantala is gone, coach Mark Francis sees Brothers and Gilfillan as his key forwards because of their experience, even if it is only a year.
Francis also said Brothers and Gillian are very different players, but both are strong finishers who are hard to stop.
Despite recovering from mononucleosis last season, Gilfillan was the team's fourth leading scorer in the fall, and Francis said she was the team's best forward in the spring.
"Rachel is very,very good in front of the goal," he said. "She just has a nose for the goal. Put her in front of the goal and nine times out of 10, she's gonna finish it."
Francis also said Gilfillan has improved on things the coaches asked her to work on for this season.
"She is one of those who is tough to take out of the game," he said. "She has so many different ways of beating you."
Francis said Brothers, like Gilfillan, is a good finisher. He also said she strikes the ball well and is extremely good in the air. He said her intensity on the field is constant.
"She always gives everything that she's capable of, every time she's on the field," Francis said.
"Monica is extremely intense, very hard, very athletic," he said. "She's very brave. She's not afraid to sacrifice her body."
Francis also considers Brothers, the team's second leading score last season, a tough player, but in a different style.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Aug.28).
If you settle into a routine at work, your job will become much easier. You'll seem even smarter, and get even richer, as you memorize a tough job. Postpone travel and higher education while you take care of old obligations. Becoming debt-free will be a wonderful sensation.

Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7. You've encountered this hassle before, but this time you're not alone. A loved one provides the encouragement. Take a stand.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 5. Don't forget to do something you promised. It concerns either your place or one of your roommates. Postpone travel and romance until you've met this obligation.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is an 8. You and your friends can block a measure you oppose by sticking together. You don't have to say much: except, of course, "no."
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 6. This is not a good day to throw caution to the wind.The profit is in the details Fine craftsmanship pays, and saves, in the long run.

Q
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 6. You're good, but the task is still daunting. Not only is it tough, but your old methods won't work. Ask a Virgo with power to teach you.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 5.
You may feel as if you've dropped anchor. Your forward movement is stopped. Don't fight it. Take time for appraisal, and add up your resources again.

Mulder,A's,beat Royals
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Athletics won their 14th straight game Tuesday night, matching their longest streak since moving to Oakland, as David Justice homered and drove in three runs in a 6-4 victory over the Kansas City Royals.
The Associated Press
The streak is the longest in the majors since Seattle won 15 straight last season and tied the 1988 A's for the longest since the team moved to Oakland. The franchise record is a 17-game streak in 1931 when the team played in Philadelphia.
Mark Mulder (16-7) allowed four runs and seven hits in seven-plus innings to win his third straight start.
Ray Durham homered off Runelys Hernandez (3-3) in the fifth inning for the A's, who scored single runs in the third through eighth innings.
Billy Koch pitched the ninth inning for his 35th save in 40 opportunities.
Terrence Long drove in two A's runs with a sacrifice fly in the third and a double in the seventh.
Justice hit a solo home run in the sixth, an RBI
Joe Randa had three hits, including a two-run triple in the eighth off Jim Mecir. Carlos Beltran had an RBI single earlier in the inning to end Mulder's night.
single in the fourth and a run-scoring double in the eighth inning.
Kit Pellow had an RBI single in the seventh for Kansas City's first run.
Notes: Royals first baseman Mike Sweeney went 0-for-4, snapping his six-game hitting streak, and dropping his league-leading average to .348. ... catcher Brent Mayne, who is 0-for-14 since having his season-high eight-game hitting streak snapped on Friday, did not start against Mulder. ... Beltran threw out two baserunners and has 12 outfield assists, which ranks third in the AL. ...Ellis batted eighth in the A's lineup for only the second time. ... Royals left fielder Chuck Knoblaule left after five innings with tightness in left rib cage area.
Vickie Johnson leads Liberty
The Associated Press
NEW YORK—New York Liberty veteran Vickie Johnson is familiar with tough assignments after playing four seasons of pro ball in Israel.
Hernandez allowed four runs and eight hits including two home runs, in six innings.
Facing the defending champion Los Angeles Sparks in the WNBA Finals doesn't seem quite so intimidating after playing in gyms with armed guards.
Coach Richie Adubato calls her the Liberty's "most complete player."
"They had AKAs and machine guns," Johnson said. "It took me a while to get used to 18-year-olds walking around armed."
walking aline snoop Johnson, New York's all-time leading scorer with 2.216 points, leads the Liberty into Game 1 tomorrow at Madison Square Garden.
She developed into a versatile player in Israel, but problems in the region made her homesick.
Now she hopes to win a championship in America. Johnson, who often defends opposing teams' most versatile players, likely will shadow Sparks forward Mwadi Mabika.
A week before she left, there was a bombing at a restaurant in an area close to where she and friends planned to eat.
While playing there this past December to April, she called her mother every day and promised not to travel outside of Ramat Gan, a suburb of Tel Aviv.
"It made me appreciate life." Johnson said. "It also made me realize it was about time to think about going home."
Like Johnson, Mabika is an explosive scorer. She
was the Sparks' second-leading scorer, averaging 16.8 points during the regular season.
In six playoff games, Johnson is averaging 12.3 points, shooting 55 percent from behind the arc and 82 percent from the free-throw line.She set a career-high with five 3-pointers in a 96-79 win over the Mystics in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finale.
"Vickie has been very impressive in their playoff run," Sparks guard Tamecka Dixon said. "She always seems to make her shots in the clutch."
"VJ is just a marvelous defender," Adubato said. "She has a tremendous competitive spirit. She has a big heart and plays bigger than she is. We play her on Catchings, we play her on Holdsclaw, and she's giving up six inches."
Johnson also is key on defense. She held Tamika Catchings, the Indiana Fever rookie of the year, to four points in the second half of Game 3 in the first round.She helped double-team Washington Mystics forward Chamique Holdsclaw, the WNBA's leading scorer and rebounder, to win the conference finals.
Johnson has won four championships while playing in Israel and France. But the Liberty are 0-3 in the WNBA Finals, all against the Houston Comets.
She played college basketball at Louisiana Tech, where her team reached the Final Four in 1994. She was named Louisiana player of the year in 1996.
"I've said it for six years now, she is definitely the best two-guard in the league," guard Teresa Weatherspoon said. "She's just a warrior that we go to, she's our clutch player."

Kansas may have solved its quarterback question, but whether Iowa State's Seneca Wallace can be contained remains up in the air.
Wallace threw for 313 yards in Iowa State's 31-38 loss to Florida State in Saturday's Eddie Robinson Classic. He was stopped just short of the goal line on the last play of the game.
"We've thought about welding the locker room door shut before the game and see
if we can keep him in there, but I don't think they're going to allow us to do that," Mangino said when asked about Wallace.
Mangino said Kansas could
"He can run and pack a punch. When he puts the pads on, he can knock it out of you," Mangino said. "He's the type of guy you can build your defense around."
One of the players charged with slowing Iowa State's air attack is sophomore cornerback Johnny McCoy. Mangino said McCoy was an aggressive, intelligent player who has a bright future at Kansas.

Billings said he feels that it's time for somebody else in the community to help the team find a place to play.
Price said Christiansen's enthusiasm makes him glad to have the new coaches in the dugout in February.
Christiansen, 27, said the chance to work with an up-and-coming coach like Price made it easier to come to Kansas.
Gary Kempf, director of student-athlete life, thinks finding a location for the team is going to be a difficult process.
Price said he had been impressed with Christiansen's hunger to reach one of the upper-echelon conferences in college sports by working as a volunteer coach.
"Not many guys would give up a full time job to be a volunteer," Price said. "He wants to be a coach at a Division I institution. I was impressed with his desire to coach at this level."

"There are a lot of irons in the fire in terms of interest," he said. "We've just got to make sure we put the pieces together. It's a daily topic here trying to figure out how to help any of our athletes. This is obviously not an ideal situation, but I will say our team and coaches have made the best of the situation."
Kempf said issues such as parking, location and whether to open the facility to the public are currently being discussed.
"Unluckily, right now there are no indoor courts in town, so we're trying to look at all the different options and see what's available," Kemp said. "It's a stair step process, trying to make sure that we can find somebody who will help us build the facility financially."
The Jayhawks are coming off their best season in three years and finished with a 16-6 record and 9-2 in the Big 12 Conference. However, the team could suffer recruitment setbacks without a permanent location.
"We were second in the Big 12 and first in our region," Lorenz said. "I think we deserve some locker rooms and a place to play."

"We are trying to get something done soon." Waterman said, "so I can tell recruits we will have a sufficient place to play."
"It's probably not a real good option because the gyms are busy. And laying down a surface that athletes can play on is another issue," Kempf said. "We don't have a real mobile surface that you can just roll on and roll off, and practicing in a gymnasium when there is already a shortage of gymnasiums is difficult."
The change for the Jayhawks has impacted veteran players such as Omaha, Neb. senior Kim Lorenz.
The first practice is scheduled for Sept. 5 at the Wood Valley Racquet Club and the first tournament is Sept. 25 against Tulsa University and Indiana University in Tulsa, Okla.
The possibility of using the gymnasiums in Robinson Center does not seem to be a viable alternative for the team, Kempf said.

However, Chiefs president Carl Peterson insisted he won't budge far from his present offer no matter how much the team needs the 300-pound defensive tackle.
do," Peterson said. "We only have so many (salary) cap dollars. It's a finite number. We can't go beyond that."
Assistant general manager Denny Thum, who handles most player negotiations, was meeting with Hadley Engelhard, Sims' agent.
The Chiefs thought they were on the verge of an agreement right before opening training camp, but struck an impasse that centers mostly on escalator clauses that could increase the value of the contract in the later years.
Engelhard could not be reached for comment.
The Chiefs' salary cap situation worsened this week when six-year veteran free safety Jerome Woods was placed on injured reserve after breaking his leg in an exhibition game at Seattle.
The Chiefs might also have to put wide receiver Sylvester Morris, the 2000 No.1 pick, on injured reserve with a knee injury.
"It's going to affect our cap. I guarantee you that. It's a problem we're having to deal with," Peterson said.
Head coach Dick Vermeil, increasingly frustrated over Sims' holdout, has said he would not expect him to be of help in the Sept. 8 opener at Cleveland even if he comes in this week.
"He needs to get his tail into camp," Vermeil said. "He's hurting the team."
"We'd like to have Ryan Sims in there in the rotation," Peterson said. "And whenever he comes in, he's going to have to earn that, earn it from the coaching and the respect of his teammates."

Teams prepare for possible strike
Teams alter travel in anticipation of player walkout
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — While baseball negotiators intensified their meetings and commissioner Bud Selig made plans to travel to the labor talks, teams began pushing back travel plans to prepare for a possible strike Friday.
The Chicago White Sox called off their Thursday charter to Detroit and said they would travel Friday only if there isn't a walk-out. Boston rescheduled its charter to Cleveland for Friday, too, but St. Louis will travel Thursday for the following day's game at the Chicago Cubs, which would be the first game affected by a strike.
"Midnight Thursday, if we don't have a deal by then, we're on
very dangerous ground," Selig told ESPN radio.
After negotiators met briefly Tuesday morning, players held a telephone conference call with the union staff. There was a longer session in the afternoon and another at night as the sides tried to avert baseball's ninth work stoppage since 1972, but the sides were holding nonbinding two-on-two discussions instead of trading formal proposals.
The tone of the meetings was far more serious than in earlier days, several people on both sides of the negotiations said on condition of anonymity. Rob Manfred, the owners' top law lawyer, said no new proposals have been made since management's offer Sunday.
Owners and players disagree on how much to increase revenue sharing and on the level of a luxury tax on high-payroll teams that would slow salary increases.
Seeking to increase competitive balance, owners want to increase the percentage of locally generated revenue that teams share,and they want to tax highpayroll teams to discourage spending.
Management's last offer would tax the portions of payrolls over $107 million in the first three years of the new contract, a threshold that would increase to $111 million in 2006. The figures use the average annual value of contracts for players on 40-man rosters, plus about $7.7 million per team in benefits.
Players have proposed thresholds of $125 million next year, $135 million in 2004, $145 million in 2005 and no tax in the final season of the deal. Owners proposed tax rates of 35-50 percent, depending on the number of times a team exceeds the threshold, while players have proposed rates
of 15-40 percent.
The sides also disagree on revenue sharing, with players wanting to phase in changes so large amounts wouldn't immediately be drained from high-revenue teams. Manfred said that while only 16 votes are needed to approve an agreement, 23 are needed for revenue sharing changes.
Owners proposed that teams share 36 percent of their locally generated revenue, up from 20 percent this year, and the union proposed 33.3 percent.The owners' plan would transfer $263 million annually from baseball's richest teams to its poorest, using 2001 revenue figures for analysis. The union's proposal would phase in changes, transferring $172.3 million in 2003,$195.6 million in 2004,$219 million in 2005 and $242.3 million in 2006.
St. Louis businesses get ready for strike
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — Just days before baseball players are scheduled to strike, the Maririott Pavilion Hotel marketing chief Bill Tirone says the mere threat of a walkout has been bad for business.
Tirone needs to look only at bookings for the weekend of Sept. 6-8, when the hometown Cardinals are to play host to the Chicago Cubs in a three-game series.
"We'd already be sold out by now," Tirone said from the 627room hotel, which overlooks Busch Stadium and counts Cardinals games as its single-biggest source of bookings.
Fact is, the Marriott still has plenty of vacancies for that weekend.
Businesses across downtown St. Louis and throughout the area nervously watch the talks between major league players and owners, hoping the sides reach a new deal before Friday's strike deadline.
"We went through it before, in 1994, and it hurt us pretty good," said Charlie Gitto, estimating his Charlie Gitto's Italian restaurant could lose 40 percent of its business if a strike goes forward.
"Baseball has a big impact on downtown St. Louis," Gitto said. "If we lose it, a lot of people won't survive."
The Regional Chamber and Growth Association projected in April that the Cardinals' 81 regular-season games would generate $159 million in economic activity, or just under $2 million a game.

Cardstake double-header
The Associated Press
CINCINNATI — Chuck Finley allowed only two singles by Juan Castro as he pitched his first shutout in four years Tuesday night, leading the St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-0 victory and doubleheader split with the Cincinnati Reds.
Scott Rolen hit a three-run homer in the first, and Finley took it from there as the NL Central leaders snapped a four-game losing streak. Finley (5-3) retired the first 16 batters before Castro lined a single to center.
No one else reached until Jason LaRue walked to open the ninth and Castro had an infield single. The left-hander retired the next three batters for his first shutout since April 17, 1998 against Tampa Bay.
Rolen, acquired in a July 29 trade with Philadelphia, also played a decisive role in the first game. The third baseman let in two runs on an errant throw home, and grounded into a game-ending double play with the tying run on second base in Cincinnati's 5-4 win.
The split left the third-place Reds 71/2 games behind the Cardinals in the NL Central. The
four-game series amounts to a last chance for the Reds, who led the NL Central for 51 days earlier this season.
The Cardinals rebounded from the opening-game loss by scoring five in the first off Elmer Dessens (7-6), then settling in as Finley retired the first 16 batters.
Castro, a. 145 hitter, drew a standing ovation with his liner to center in the sixth. Finley's seven strikeouts moved him one ahead of Hall of Famer Bob Feller into 20th on the career list with 2,582.
Finley (5-3) has made a strong recovery — a 4-11 record and a messy divorce with actress Tawny Kitaen. In his last four starts, Finley is 3-1 with a 1.16 ERA.
Dessens was activated from the disabled list and made his first start since Aug. 1, when he strained his groin. He was rusty in the first inning, when the first five Cardinals scored.
They loaded the bases on Fernando Vina's single, Edgar Renteria's double and a walk to Jim Edmonds. Albert Puiels lined a two-run single over Dessens' head, and Rolen homered three pitches later for a 5-0 lead.
earned run average jumped from 2.67 — third-best in the NL — to 2.89.
In the first game, the Cardinals couldn't overcome Rolen's throwing error and one bad inning by Jason Simontacchi (9-5). The Reds sent 10 batters to the plate in the second, scoring all five runs before making an out.
Rolen let in two of the runs on his sailing throw to the plate as he tried to get a forceout with the bases loaded.
Rolen and Albert Pujols hit consecutive solo homers in the third off Brian Moehler, who struggled once again for the third-place Reds. Chris Reitsma (5-9) took over in the third and gave up a run in 3 2-3 innings for the win.
Danny Graves pitched the ninth for his 30th save in 37 chances. Graves joined John Franco as the only Reds pitchers with 30 saves in three consecutive seasons.
Pujols' 50th homer also gave him 100RBIs and moved him into exclusive territory in Cardinals history. He became the second Cardinal to drive in 100 runs in each of his first two seasons — Ray Jablonski also did it in 1953-54.
LAUSANNE, Switzerland Alarmed by accusations that two skating competitions at the Salt Lake City Games were fixed, the IOC is looking for any evidence that organized crime influenced any other Olympic sports.
The Associated Press
The International Olympic Committee also warned Tuesday that some sports could be kicked out of future games if they fail to comply with a proposed global anti-doping code.
Committee examines crime
Alimzhan Tokhtakhounov was arrested in Italy on July 31 and indicted in New York last week. He's accused of working to ensure gold medals for the Russian pairs skaters and French ice dancers.
On the first day of a three-day meeting, the IOC executive board discussed the arrest of a reputed Russian mobster on charges he conspired to manipulate the pairs and ice dance events at the 2002 Winter Games.
"This may hopefully be an individual case restricted to one event in one sport." IOC vice president Thomas Bach told leaders of winter sports federations. "But we would be well advised to be very vigilant, to see what is happening in each of the sports. We need information coming from all possible sources."
Bach said the IOC must find out whether the alleged organized crime activity goes beyond the skating case.
"We cannot close our eyes," he said. "We have to be vigilant. I have not even a hint (of crime influence). But we have to be proactive and make sure nothing like this is happening in other sports."
Tokhtakhounov remains jailed in Venice, Italy, and plans to fight extradition to the United States, and the process could take weeks. The allegations against him are based mainly on wiretapped phone conversations.
"We know very little facts of the case today," Rogge told the winter federations. "The FBI and Italian justice have been
IOC president Jacques Rogge has said the skating results could be recalculated if the charges turn out to be true. But he said the IOC can't take any action until more evidence is provided.
very selective in releasing the tapes. There is much more, obviously, to know. We need facts, and we don't have the facts today to be able to judge."
Rogge said he has received a 30- to 40-page report from the French Olympic Committee. The executive board is scheduled to discuss the case in depth on Thursday.
Meanwhile, the World Anti-Doping Agency briefed summer and winter sports on the first draft of a proposed document setting out unified rules and sanctions.
Among other things, the code would establish a single list of banned substances, mandate rigorous out-of-competition testing, and set standard penalties and suspensions for drug cheats, including two-year bans for serious offenses.
WADA hopes to have the code approved by all parties early next year and in place for the 2004 Summer Games in Athens.
For years, the IOC has held out the veiled threat that sports could be dropped from the Olympics if they fail to live up to anti-doping rules.
Rams close practices to onlookers
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Rams' decision to close practices to the media during the first three weeks and move everything indoors is no surprise to the players.
"This is the NFL," quarterback Kurt Warner said. "Everybody worries about that stuff. I know all coaches are paranoid and worried about this or that or showing their hand too early."
I am a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin. I received my bachelor's degree from the University of Texas at Austin in 2015. After completing my undergraduate degree, I went on to work as an assistant professor at the University of Texas at Austin. I currently works as a faculty member in the Department of Sociology at the University of Texas at Austin.
The Rams are no exception. Security director Dan Linza, a former police chief in the St. Louis suburb of Kirkwood, patrols the field during practice with high-powered binoculars, searching for violators who would deign to watch a few plays from the roof or parking lot of a nearby warehouse, or even an elevated road almost a mile away.
Now the Rams are in a froth about a four-story Marriott Residence Inn opened during the summer across the street from their practice facility. The top floor is a perfect place to watch
practice, so the team is planning on raising the berm bordering the field and erecting a fence to keep the proceedings private.
Warner
"You never know who's going to really be watching," linebacker Don Davis said. "I'm sure there are some 49ers fans that maybe live in the St. Louis area or some Seattle fans who say 'Hey, they've got a big hotel right across from the facility.'"
Coach Mike Martz isn't sure why a barrier hasn't already been erected.
"It's been there," he said. "It's kind of hard to miss that."
Though Martz said he was not worried about spies, for the first three weeks of the season, his team will make sure no prying eyes see what they're doing. During the summer they took out a traditional artificial turf surface and spent $300,000 to replace it with a more joint-friendly surface.
The FieldTurf field, also used by the Seattle Seahawks, Kansas City Chiefs and Cleveland Browns in the NFL, along with Nebraska and Illinois in college, has layers of sand and shredded rubber that make it look like real grass.
“It's pretty soft and guys are responding to it pretty well,” Warner said. “I still think it's harder than the grass and takes more of a toll on your body, but not nearly as bad as the other stuff.”
Martz said Rams players were impressed with the field when the team played there during the 2000 season.
"They raved about it, talked about it all week," Martz said. "A couple of players said they felt so much better after playing on it than they did even on grass."
Before the Rams' Monday announcement to draw the blinds, 27 of the 52 NFL teams had fully open or partially open practices. Martz has been considering closing practice since before training camp.
"It has nothing to do with being friendly or not friendly to the media," Martz said. "It's just for a couple, three weeks. It'll open back up. I just want to start the season out that way, kind of keep things close in house a little bit."
Inside or outside, private or not. Warner doesn't really care.
"Us as players, we don't really worry about that stuff," he said.
"Whatever he decides to do, he decides to do. We just go out and practice and try to get prepared."
In other news:
The Rams released FB Maurice Douglas and S Robbie Robinson, and placed OG Travis Scott on injured reserve. The team also released TE Alonzo Cunningham with an injury settlement and is negotiating one with WR Anthony Tucker. They signed WR Will Blackwell, a former second-round pick of the Steelers in 1997 who has been dogged by injuries, on Tuesday, Rookie WR Eric Crouch, who missed last week's preseason game with a thigh bruise, hopes to return to practice later this week.
Players fight injuries in U.S. Open contests
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The wheelchairs were there, if needed, resting side-by-side in the corridor leading from the court to the locker room.
For 41/2 muggy hours yesterday at this wearying U.S. Open, 2000 champion Marat Safin and Nicolas Kiefer traded big serves and crackling strokes to the point of exhaustion. By the end, both were cramping. Kiefer could barely walk, his body contorting in pain.
The second-seeded Safin, not known for his mental toughness on court, kept his head in the game when he really needed to and had just enough energy left to win the first-round thriller 6-3, 4-6, 4-6, 4-4, 7-6 (4).
"How was I feeling? Dead. Completely dead," the Russian said. "I was choking so badly. I was embarrassed."
Still, he and Kiefer managed to stay on court until the bitter end.
Seven men have quit during first-round matches, a record for a Grand Slam tournament.
10
"All the players are praying
"All the play- Safin are proving
not to get injured. Any small injuries — even a finger, or some small muscles you don't even know about — can bring you trouble," said Safin, who withdrew from a tournament in Indianapolis this month because of injured ribs. "Tennis is getting a little bit more powerful. We're playing much faster. That's why the body breaks."
Among Tuesday's victims was 1998 finalist Mark Philippoussis, who wrenched his long-troubled left knee in the fourth set against No. 24 Sjeng Schalken and had to stop four games later. Philippoussis was leading 2-1 in sets.

Schedule hints Jennings staying
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Peter Jennings has lined up a busy schedule at ABC News this September — an indication that a new contract for the anchor is either imminent or already agreed to.
ABC wasn't commenting Sunday on a report on Matt Drudge's Internet site that Jennings had reached a new deal.
Both Jennings and the network have traditionally talked little publicly about contracts.
"ABC executives have repeatedly said they have every hope and expectation that Peter will remain the anchor for many years to come." ABC News spokesman Jeffrey Schneider said Sunday.
Jennings and ABC News President David Weston scheduled a
news conference for Monday to talk about a six-part series Jennings is anchoring next month based on a book he co-authored, "In Search of America."
Jennings will also be the network's chief anchor for nearly a full day of coverage to mark the first anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
His current contract reportedly will have expired by then and his schedule is a solid indication that he has either signed or agreed to a new one privately, or negotiations are going smoothly.
There were reports this spring that financially strapped ABC would ask Jennings to take a pay cut, but there has been no such talk since then.
Jennings, 63, has been ABC News' top anchor since the early

Brokaw announced this spring that he would step down as evening news anchor after the 2004 elections, to be replaced by Brian Williams. Rather has not said publicly when he plans to step down.

Freshman quarterback Brian Luke, Walnut Creek Calif. stretches during Monday's practice. Coach Mangino has kept the fledgling season in secret by regulating private practices and restricting media coverage. The Jayhawks kick off the 2002 season against Iowa State this Saturday.
John Nowak/KANSAS
Mangino careful with words despite media's need for info
Ryan Greene
Kansansportswriter
13
Football coach Mark Mangino's new policy of closing all practices has left Jayhawk football fans — and reporters — scratching their heads with questions.
Such as, is freshman running back Clark Green closer to the starting job than we think?
In the past, breaking news from daily practices had been available right away, such as injuries and progress reports on certain individual players.
John Nowak/KANSAN
This year Mangino is available to the media only through the Big 12 Conference teleconference at 10 a.m. each Monday, a press conference from noon to 12:30 p.m. each Tuesday, and after each Wednesday practice. Members of the media are also allowed to attend the first 30 minutes of each Tuesday practice. He will also take part in the Jayhawk Radio Network's Hawk Talk on Thursdays.
"Initially I didn't like it, but at the same time, the steps he's taking to create a big-time atmosphere create a different mood of discipline," King said. "Just being
Junior Defensive Tackle Brock Teddleton practices hitting on junior Wide Receiver Jerome Lewis.
Jason King, who covers Kansas football for the Kansas City Star, originally disliked Mangino's policy, but said now he saw where the coach was coming from.
around those players, they have a different attitude and confidence that they haven't had in about five years. They're going to struggle no matter what this year, but just that one small step will make a difference in the team's attitude."
Dave Mitchell, Kansas football reporter for the Lawrence Journal-World, said Mangino's new regulations made gathering information difficult for the media and fans. Mitchell said he had concerns about learning of injuries from sources aside from the players or coaches.
"I think the negative from the team's point of view is that if we never know if players are injured right away, and we have to call high school coaches and players instead." Mitchell said. "The new policy gives fewer distractions for the players. However, there are more intrusions placed on the players' parents and coaches." But the new closed-door policy has not stopped sportswriters from asking about injuries when the opportunity arises.
"You know those bumps and bruises that come with spring ball. He is fine." Mangino said. "Actually it wasn't even the bumps and bruises. It was a medical thing. A little sinus deal. It's no big deal at all."
During yesterday's teleconference Mangino was asked about defensive tackle Travis Watkins. Watkins sat out most of the scrimage during fan appreciation night last Wednesday, but Mangino would not give the media a specific reason why the sophomore did not play.
Rick Anderson, sportswriter for the Topeka Capitol Journal, said during the teleconference that he thought Mangino had been very good to the media.
He asked the coach if he thought he had upset members of
the media or Kansas football fans with the introduction of the new policy.
"There is just a certain way that you run a Division I football program if you want it to be successful," Mangino said. "And that takes the changing of the mind set of a lot of people maybe that perhaps were already here."

Tuition increase hits sports
By Levi Chronister

This year's tuition increases affected not only students but the Kansas University Athletics Corporation as well, being forced to pay $350,000 more than last year, said chief financial officer Susan Wachter.
That's the increased cost this year for the approximately 250 full scholarships granted by KUAC to student-athletes and paid for by the Williams Educational
Fund, the KUAC's student-athlete scholarship program that relies on private and corporate contributions.
The $350,000 increase is already partially taken care of because of an increase in funds raised by the Williams Fund this year.
Because of the increase in donations, the additional cost of providing scholarships shouldn't create a repeat of spring 2001, when KUAC cut men's swimming and men's tennis, said associate athletics director Richard Konzem.
"We're at a point where we don't anticipate and don't look for another drop in sports," Konzem said. "There were a lot of factors in those sports dropping. One was a gender issue to be in compliance with our numbers with Title IX. We're in really good shape right now with our compliance numbers."
The money raised to cover the tuition increases would have been more than enough to pay the cost of the men's tennis team but not quite enough to pay for the men's swimming team. For the 2001 fiscal year, the men's tennis team cost $267,000 and the men's swimming team cost $352,000. Wachter said.
Williams Fund director Jay Hinrichs attributed the money raised this year to recent events, such as Mark Mangino being hired as football coach, the men's basketball team's trip to the Final Four and the education of donors about the tuition increases.

As the "Pirate House" sank into oblivion, two houses in the Oread neighborhood stepped up to fill the residential music venue vacuum.
The roommates at the "Pink House," 1151 Tennessee St., noticed area bands were not getting the exposure they deserved.
"Local bands were having a hard time with the local venues, so we wanted to give our immediate friends and bands we liked a place to play." Peter Berard, Overland Park junior and former Pink House resident said.
After posting flyers around campus and downtown Lawrence, the Pink House first opened their doors as an unofficial residential venue on October 12,2001.
Pink House resident Scott Horn, Omaha, Neb., senior, said 60 to 70 people crowded into the house to see local acts Getaway Driver, Salt the Earth and Ghosty.
Ghosty and Salt the Earth also played the first show at another residential venue known as the "Halfway House."1247 1/2 Kentucky St., when it started in January.
bands get some notoriety."
"The Pirate House had just stopped having shows and we all decided it'd be a good idea to have another unofficial venue in town," Drew James, Independence junior and Halfway House resident said. "I think it's great to help smaller bands out and get them a little recognition and help the smaller local
Between the two houses, which share a P.A. system, an impressive list of local bands have graced their living room floors. Local bands Santo Gold and the Plot to Kill the President, both played their farewell shows at the Halfway House.
The two houses do not usually
charge admission for local shows, but encourage donations for bands from out of town.
"We usually have a donation jar for gas money to get the bands to the next town." James said.
The bands are not the only parties benefiting from the unorthodox venues.
"It gives underage kids the chance to
see local music when they normally wouldn't be able to," Patrick Roberts, Lawrence High School senior said.
Roberts' band, Clockwork, has opened for Son, Ambulance at the Pink House.

Cuts leave students shut out of classes
By Lindsey Hodel
Kansan staff writer
University of Kansas students in two sections of humanities and Western Civilization were without teachers on the first day of classes.
David Dewar, senior instructor in humanities and Western Civilization, said his department had scheduled a full slate of classes before the budget crisis.
"The end result was two classes didn't have instructors," Dewar said.
About 70 students enrolled in those two sections, along with seniors scheduled to graduate this year, received priority in enrolling in other sections of humanities and Western Civilization
Jim Woelfel, director of humanities and Western Civilization, said they froze the enrollment process to give priority to the students who were forced to switch sections. He said all the students had been placed in the sections they wanted
However, the shortage of instructors may lead to larger class sizes. Dewar said.
Classes are usually held to 35 students, but Dewar said sections could exceed that number.
Thus far, Dewar said students had responded well to the lack of teachers.
"We're just dealing with the cards we've been dealt," Dewar said. "I don't hold the University responsible."
Jonathan Ng. student body president, said this could show students how much they were directly affected by budget cuts.
"There is another potential budget cut coming when the state legislature meets," Ng said. "This could mean an increase in tuition for students. This shows how important it is for students to vote in the coming elections in September so they don't have to cover costs the state should provide."
Kent Glasscock, R-Manhattan, speaker of the state house of representatives, said the state saw the tax receipt drop seven percent in the 2001-2002 fiscal year, which he said was a huge drop.
Glasscock also said the state was short

K.C. shooting gallery to change offensive display
John Hoopes, University of Kansas Anthropology associate professor, thinks a new game at Cabala's is offensive and brings up images of colonism and genocide. The shooting display was recently changed so that all of the people probs will be removed or moved "out of perceived harms way."
A fourth child, Raymond Levi Boothe, 11, of Cameron, Mo., was found dead about four hours earlier in the westbound lane of the Kansas Turnpike at mile marker 207 in Leavenworth County.
Leavenworth County Maj. David Zoellner said his office was investigating the child's death as a homicide. Leavenworth County has the suspect in custody and the other three children are in protective custody in Lawrence. Zoellner said he could not release the suspect's name yesterday but said formal charges could be filed today. The Leavenworth County Sheriff's office will

Click, click, go the fake guns in the Kansas City, Kan., Cabela's Safari Shooting Gallery.
But it's not just a game, says John Hoopes, a KU Anthropology associate professor. It's offensive.
For 50 cents, Cabela's customers can take aim at tennis ball-size targets in the upper-floor shooting game in Kansas City's newest outdoor superstore.
"The image of white people firing rifles into a black village brings up images of colonialism and genocide, and the violent oppression of native peoples," he said.
The shooting gallery's targets are strategically placed among a life-size African village scene — next to a bridge, monkeys, cooking utensils and people, among other things. When the targets are hit correctly, it elicits a reaction from the props. Wooden planks flop, birds spit water, and an elephant trumpets from above.
But the people part is what bothers Hoopes, who specializes in Central and South American archeology at the University of Kansas. Before yesterday,
mixed in with the animals, plants and village huts was an older white man hunched over a book and three darker-skinned African natives. One stood clutching a spear. Another bent over, pouring water from a clay pot, while the third's floppy-haired head popped out of a large iar.
And because of Hoopes and others'
complaints, Cabela's top management decided to revamp the display Wednesday afternoon, said Joe Arterburn, Cabela's representative.
All of the people props will be either removed entirely or placed "out of perceived harm's way." Arterburn said.
Hoopes, who has been with the University since the fall of 1989, saw the display last Saturday while shopping for camping gear with his family. He has gained citywide notoriety through local radio and TV news broadcasts by calling attention to what he deems an "offensive and racist" display.
But thanks to yesterday's changes to the gallery, Hoopes is satisfied, he said.
"I'm gratified," he said. "All along I've been asking that they close the display, but if it can be modified to portray gun safety with the legal use of fire arms, then I'm OK with that."
Yet some parents are apathetic to Hoopes' complaints.
"It's part of the game," said Cindy McDermott, a St. Joseph, Mo., mother who was watching her two children shoot the game's toy guns Sunday afternoon.
McDermott heard about Hoopes' complaints through TV news, she said, but it didn't deter her from letting her 7-year-old boy and 10-year-old girl from taking aim at the gallery's water-spitting birds.
"It's not like the targets are on the people's foreheads," said McDermott.

CORRECTIONS
The Aug. 23 story "Faculty shortage hurts atmospheric science," stated the atmospheric science program at the University could lose accreditation from the American Meteorological Society (AMS) because the program lost one full-time professor. This statement is incorrect.
The AMS recommends a program has no fewer than three full-time professors, but does not require this. The AMS also does not certify or accredit any institution. They do provide a set list of requirements that must be met by any undergraduate who wants to be federally employed. The atmospheric science program at the University of Kansas meets all of these requirements.
A correction in yesterday's Kansan incorrectly stated the number of years a graduate teaching assistant worked for the University did not impact the minimum salary provision in the proposed three-year contract. In fact, it does.

Graves: Democrats 'whining and complaining' on budget
TOPEKA — Republican Gov. Bill Graves says Democratic legislators are "whining and complaining" when they accuse him of not being aggressive enough in cutting the state budget. Two Democratic legislators respond by accusing Graves of ducking his responsibilities as chief executive.
Graves said Tuesday that Democrats weren't helpful during the past legislative session in trying to find new tax dollars for programs or places to cut spending.
Earlier this month, Graves ordered $41 million in cuts to the state's $4.4 billion budget for the current fiscal year. Those cuts would leave the 2003 budget about 1.1 percent smaller than the 2002 budget.
USDA declares 28 counties disaster areas from flooding
TOPEKA — Twenty-eight counties have been declared federal disaster areas following spring flooding, the governor's office said Tuesday.
The declaration from U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman grants Gov. Bill Graves' request for coverage of storm damage that occurred between May 7 and May 26. Farmers in the affected counties will be eligible for low-interest loans from the Farm Service Agency.
NATION Fraternity suspended from Baylor University
WACO, Texas — A fraternity has been suspended from Baylor University for a year after a picture of some members, fully clothed, appeared in Playboy magazine.
About 50 men and four women, all students at the time, posed on a sand volleyball court. A student who has since graduated posed nude for another photo and used an alias. The pictures are in the October issue featuring the Big 12 conference.
Officials at Baptist-affiliated Baylor called it a salacious publication and said it runs contrary to the school's ideals. In the past, Baylor administrators have threatened to expel any student who poses for the magazine.
Larry Brumley, a university spokesman, said discipline for the students appearing in the October issue could vary. He declined to elaborate, citing federal student privacy laws.
Six indicted as government focuses on terror groups
WASHINGTON — Federal grand juries charged six men with conspiring to support Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network yesterday as the government escalated its efforts to stifle the flow of money and assistance from U.S. soil to overseas terrorist groups.
In Seattle, American citizen and Muslim activist James Ujaama was accused in a two-count indictment of trying to set up a "jihad (holy war) training camp" on the West Coast and providing support and resources to alQaida.
The indictment accused him of leading discussions about creating poison to use on the public and firebombing vehicles. Ujaama has repeatedly denied any ties to terrorism.
Judge demands FBI defend its investigation in trial
ON THE RECORD
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The FBI might have missed e-mails sent by Sept. 11 conspiracy defendant Zacarias Moussaoui when it examined computers he used weeks before the terror attacks, according to the trial judge, who is demanding detailed explanations from government investigators.
Moussaoui, charged with conspiracy to commit terrorism and murder federal employees, said he was known on the Internet as "xdesertman" and used an account on Microsoft Corp.'s free Hotmail service, court documents showed yesterday.
Legal experts said it was unclear whether Moussaoui sought the information to defend himself — by establishing an alibi, for example — or to determine whether the government might already have recovered incriminating messages from the account.

Student's marching-band music a hit
By Vonna Keomanyvong
Kansan staff writer
Patrick McCarry listens hard to the beat of Alice Cooper.
The Emporia senior sits in an empty room with his headset on and his electronic keyboard and drum pad in front of him. He hears the first eight beats of a song and taps the notes on the keyboard. These notes will soon turn into a marching band show for high school students.
"Sometimes it comes really quick, sometimes it doesn't," McCarty said. "It's trial and error for me. Although I've gotten a lot better at it."
While some might confuse arranging music with composing music, arranging involves rewriting and adapting songs.
Arranging music has always been a hobby for McCarty. He has adapted songs such as "Born to Be Wild" and "Over the Rainbow" for marching band music.
McCarty recently turned his hobby into a paying job when he arranged the football show for the Shawnee Mission North band.
Instead of buying music from a company the director wanted to do a show
that was our own," McCarty said. "I tried not to be too pushy, but I showed him some of my previous work so we put stuff together."
McCarty has been a percussion instructor for Shawnee Mission North for two years. He helps 12 students learn how to play the drums twice a week for about two hours.
Chad Reed, the band director for Shawnee Mission North, said McCarty's expertise and consistency makes him a talented teacher.
"Music is his life," Reed said. "I don't ever remember a time that he bailed out on anything because of another commitment. If he says that he's going do something he's followed through."
McCarty is a member of the KU Wind Ensemble and the KU Symphonic Band. He has also been on the KU marching band for three years. Last year, he was the lead drum set player for the men's basketball team and served as the drum line section leader for the football team during his sophomore year.
While instructing at Shawnee Mission North is McCarty's first paying job, it is not his first stab at arranging music.
"It's cool to hear your own music and to know that people also are hearing your
music,"
Patrick McCarty Emporia senior
He spent more than two months arranging a show for his dad Gary, who was the band director at his high school in Emporia.
"I finished it the end of my junior year and I asked my dad to listen to it," McCarty said. "He really liked my show so he ended up saying 'let's do it.'"
And in his senior year, McCarty marched in his own show.
"It's cool to hear your own music and to know that people also are hearing your music," McCarty said. "It's kind of fun because indirectly you're connecting with a lot of people through something that you did."
Since then, he has written two other shows for his dad.
Gary McCarty, who has been a band
director for more than 11 years, said his son was a musician even before he was born. Gary remembers when he and his wife, who was pregnant with Patrick, were members of the Topeka Symphony. During one of the performances, Gary said his wife constantly bounced out of her seat.
"When the conductor would stop playing music, Patrick would just kick the daylights out of her," Gary McCarty said. "As long as the music was going, he was OK."
Compared to other teaching jobs, McCarty said he could see people change by playing music.
McCarty now has four shows under his belt, but he would like to compose his own music.
"When I try composing something, it ends up sounding like something I've heard before," he said. "I'm trying to develop my creative process. I'll probably start writing my own music after I get out of school because I'll have a little more time."

New dating service geared to helping students find love
By Louise Stauffer
Kansan staff writer
The countdown is on and Lawrence singles will have the chance to fall in love: It only takes seven minutes.
That's the logic behind "speed dating" a new niche in the business of dating services that is being offered by Ready-Set-DATE, a dating service opening in Lawrence next month. The business was started by Vicki Leitnaker and her sister Rebecca Price, who are trying to cater to the college crowd, as well as their parents.
The race to find someone compatible
begins when an equal number of men and women pay a cover charge and gather in a restaurant or bar. The men and women are paired off, armed with scorecards, and have seven minutes to get to know each other, no holds barred.
"Ask about things that are important to you," Leitmaker said.
to you. But he said she said there was assistance for the shy.
"We have sets of questions for people that have trouble," she said.
After the time is up, each person is matched up with someone else, and the process begins all over again. At the end of the night, each person turns in their
cards, and is notified in the next 24 hours and told who picked them as possible interests.
Leitnaker said although Ready-Set-DATE sponsors a college night, the program is not geared toward college students. The service sponsors events for either 21- to 29-year olds, 25- to 35-year olds, 35- to 45-year olds and 45- to 55-year olds. She said the mid-40s to mid-50s has had the highest registration thus far. Ready-Set-DATE is for heterosexuals as of yet, but Leitnaker said they have considered starting more specific groups, such as one for homosexuals only.
She said speed dating enables people
Date Service
College night is on Sept. 24, Molly McGee's, 2429 Iowa Street, 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. the cover charge is $20 per person register at ready-set-date.com
to see if there is potential with a person without wasting a lot of time. Leitnaker said because many speed-dating services in Kansas City are impossible to get in because they are always full, she and her partner are planning on spreading the service to places such as Topeka, Wichita, and Manhattan in the future.
"Speed dating is huge," she said.
However, Chris Goode, Urbandale, Iowa, sophomore, said he would probably not partake in speed dating.
"I think I could do the same thing at a bar, and it would be cheaper," he said. "But it might work for some people."
Manda Barker, Topeka junior, had mixed feelings.
"I thought that dating services were for people who wanted to get married," she said. "But this could be someone's thing."

KANSAN EDITORIAL BOARD
Both support and funds needed to save KU Info
There's a common misconception being spread around campus in need of clearing up: KU Info is not dying.
It is true KU Info has been dying, slowly painfully, over a number of semesters. Its hours of operation reduced, its workforce out and its budget as a whole decimated.
The University of Kansas's information center was but a shell of its former self. But no more.
KU Info is not dying. It is already dead. It seems the only question for the administration now is how best to divvy up the corpse. Who feeds off its meager monetary remains? Perhaps we can allocate some of it toward supporting an open archeology exhibit for students? Oh wait, that's also closing down come October. Strange that the more money KU has, the less student services it seems to provide.
No, the administration believes the exact same money that could have employed a dozen staff to personally answer student questions is better off in the hands of a single webmaster as he or she maintains a glorified search engine. Anyone who's used AskJeeves understands just how difficult it is to find good butlers these days.
Nevertheless, there are a number of people from both student senate and campus as a whole who believe the phonelines can still be saved. Like Miracle Max, they've concluded that KU Info is only mostly dead, and they have some propositions to facilitate its recovery.
First and foremost is getting the word out to students. There will soon be tables set up in both Wescoe Beach and the Kansas

isn't there anything more important going
on at KU than triplets living at Oliver?
I'm Jeff, and I think pancakes are a lot better than waffles' cause, like, they aren't as soggy.
Galen Turner has determined that an increase of $2.25 per student per semester will provide KU Info with the money it needs to keep several phone lines open from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m every day. But is it the student's responsibility to continually support everything the administration will not? How tired of it will we become?
That's a problem Karen Keith, holdover senator for Student Senate, foreseees. She's confident students support the continuation of KU Info, but is worried that, if put to a vote, it will not achieve even a 10 percent turnout and the referendum would fail.
my roommate is a porn star, she does nasty videos. We call her triple A.
So while signing petitions at tables won't put cash in anyone's budget, it will give those who fight the good fight a better idea of what weapons to use.
The new DJ on the V100 morning show is a real humbo.
I was just observing the girls of the Big 12 issue, and I noticed that a KU girl had the best crotch shot. And I am very glad to see that, and it makes me glad to be a member of KU.
Union where students can sign a petition to continue KU Info using some of the money raised through the increased tuition, Jonathan Ng, student senate president, also has a resolution he'd like to pass confirming campuswide KUInfo support.
But let's face facts. Showing student support ain't gonna pay the bills. It will only ensure the administration closes the door before snickering rather than laugh in our faces. Real solutions call for real money.

Here's my rendition of the bean dip song.
Bean dip, bean dip, bean dip, bean dip, bean dip. (Laughing) Bean dip makes you smarter.
It makes you a better fatter. Bean dip, bean dip, it's my friend.
Another proposal is the creation of an endowment fund where benefactors can donate money towards keeping KU Info open on a permanent basis. But, the best solution many see to providing an adequate budget is also its last resort: raising student fees.
Um, yeah. I'd just like to say that my roommate is singing the bean dip song while I'm trying to read the *Iliad*, and it's just not working.

Sorry to say it, but I know what the point is when your roommate goes insane when she starts playing the itsy-bitsy spider. What is that?
Yeah, everybody keeps complaining about the closing down of KU info, and yet there's nothing in here about the closing down of the KU anthropology museum. I'm complaining about the closing of the KU anthropology museum. Thank you.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Coca-Cola asks for removal of V8 juice
Many readers may remember the long running advertising campaign for V8 in which health-conscious snackers would pop the tab on their soft drink and then gently reprimand themselves and say, "I could'a had a V8". That used to be true at the University of Kansas. But, not anymore.
On a recent visit to the Kansas Union, I was told by a cashier that the Coca-Cola Company has requested that V8 Juice not be restocked for sale by KU vendors.
She went on to explain that Coca-Cola's contract with KU gives them the prerogative to insist that Hawk Shop remove competitive products that might negatively affect Coca-Cola's profit margin. If this is true, it does not bode well for health-conscious students, faculty, or staff trying to keep their minds sharp for the coming academic year. Never mind the fact that Coca-Cola does not offer a competing vegetable juice product even remotely similar to V8. Never mind recent reports that the United States has an embarrassing number of obese and Type II diabetics. Never mind the fact that even after successive years of cafeteria renovation at the Kansas Union, you still can't get a decent meal.
I'm not angry. I'm just disgusted any time I'm expected to kiss any large corporation's BIG FAT CAN, especially here at KU.
I don't expect to see riots in the streets over this issue. Hopefully, it won't come to that.

'Pop' tunes aren't real music
COMMENTARY
All the radio stations in Lawrence seem to sound the same. At any given time one would be lucky to find a station that doesn't alternate Avril Lavigne's shoddy "Complicated" with Eminem's completely embarrassing "Cleanin' Out My Closet."
COMMENTARY
Pop songs are generated by the hundreds and can be produced from a single guitar riff ripped from an existing song. Suddenly it has become musically appropriate to steal bass lines off of songs already written and slap some completely ludicrous lyrics onto them. Are we really that unimaginative? Are we going to let a 17-year-old Lavigne tell us "Life's like this, Uh Huh Uh Huh, That's the way it is?" She is 17! She just got into R-rated movies, what does she know about what life is like?
Megan Kelleher opinion@kansan.com
Society has been dumbed down to such a level that a song titled "Hot in Herre," about taking your clothes off, can climb the Billboard charts. Then there are those who may argue that listening to music isn't a deep psychological journey and that the lyrics don't mean anything.
Well then I guess when Eminem describes how he wants to hold a gun to his ex-wife's head it really doesn't mean anything. It is just domestic violence anyway.
I am, of course, looking at these songs
Anyone I know will tell you that above all I am a music elitist and I wouldn't be caught dead listening to any of the above songs. Reason being that I don't want to be insulted.
Pop songs insult my intelligence. Stringing together two lines and repeating them over and over again to a funky backbeat does not constitute a song, even when you add a goofy rapper in the background.
Do not attempt to insult me by passing this off as a song. Songs consist of lyrics, chorus, verses,and-believe it or not-perhaps some new music to go along with it all.
Members of the mainstream public have become drones. Listening to the same songs over and over again will keep them happy. Every six months speed the song up or slow it down, add a different name to the singer, and make a video with as many women in little bikinis as you can find. Done and done.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
KU needs to adapt for disabilities
Tonight while I tried to sleep, I started to think about what I did today and realized how difficult the day was. What an effort! Early this morning I drove my boys to school and went to KU. I parked near the Memorial Stadium. I got out my carry-on case, put on my raincoat and stood in the rain trying to think of the best way to climb the hill. Shortcuts don't work for me just now, as they have too many stairs. Slowly, I started walking behind the Spencer Museum of Art and with an enormous effort; I finally got to Strong Hall. There was no place to rest! It took almost thirty minutes to climb the hill. By now you must think, what happened to her? OK, at this point in life I like to think of myself as "temporarily handicapped." I had surgery just four weeks ago and have stitches from one hip to the other. It will be another month before my energy is 100 percent again.
This experience has made me realize how unfriendly KU is for "temporarily handicapped" people such as myself, or those with minor physical disabilities. It is so ironic. Since I cannot climb the stairways (and there are zillions on the campus), I now have to look for places with handicapped access. I get tired easily and walk slowly, and almost always the accesses are in the back of the buildings, making me walk more than double the distance of a healthy person. The
accesses are not so accessible, and some elevators do not really take you anyplace, as happened to me in Lippincott Hall. Not all of the Watson Library stacks have ladders to get a book. There are places where sidewalks are incomplete or there is no sidewalk, and there are almost no ramps, and some irresponsible persons park near the building entrances. If you need to rest, basically, there are no places to sit down. I know my disability is temporary, but how do those with permanent physical disabilities make it here?

Reader appreciates Kansan changes
I am not a student but I am over 65 years of age and look at the Kansan every day over the Internet. From looking at it today and being the first day, I have seen a lot of the changes you have made.
In my opinion, the changes that have been made from last year are all good. It seems to me a lot more convenient to see what I want to see along with more.
Good job.

That is a million dollars more in the hands of the recording companies and a million more dead brain cells for the listeners.
Naturally, there will be those who get angry when they read this. It will upset them for two reasons.
One reason is that they don't want their favorite Ashanti jam to be bashed for the repetitive drivel it is.
The second reason people may be angry is because they realize how sad they have been for listening to such absurdity for so long. I think this is a good thing.
Hopefully, if people get angry enough they will voice their opinions. By voicing their opinions I do not mean getting drunk and dialing up the Free For All. I mean having actual, honest reasons to defend their musical tastes.
Someone give me proof that these are "songs" written and performed by "artists."
I'm not asking anyone to change their musical tastes, no matter how ridiculous I think they are. I'm merely asking for someone to prove to me that the songs played daily on radio stations everywhere are more than goofy bubble gum pop.

Students look to Corps for adventure
Erin Beattv
Kansan staff writer
Molly Knobbe, Cimarron graduate student, has a passion for helping those in need.
After years of experience on mission trips here and abroad, Knobbe is considering working for the Peace Corps after graduation.
She is not alone as many students across the country thinking of joining the Peace Corps, in a time when applications for the service organization are up 18 percent nationally.
"I just really enjoy helping people, and I enjoy manual labor. I think the Peace Corps would be a good option," Knobbe said.
Aline Hoey, Peace Corps coordinator at KU, says there are many factors that make the Peace Corps a popular option these days. One factor is the wave of patriotism and call to service that occurred after Sept. 11. Another component is the current recession, which is making job hunting less than appealing for recent graduates.
"A lot of students also want the experience of going abroad, and making a positive image for the
U. S." Hoey said.
Financial benefits of Peace Corps include a monthly living allowance to cover housing and basic needs as well as comprehensive medical and dental coverage during service. After the completion of three months of training and two years of service, Peace Corps participants receive a stipend of $6,075.
Hoey has been working in the KU Office of Career and Employment Services since Oct. 2001, and has had approximately 50 students apply for the Peace Corps.
Hoye said she talked with 20 interested students at an information table Tuesday on Wescoe Beach, including Jaclyn Zehring, Wichita sophomore.
"I really want to travel abroad and learn about different cultures," Zehring said. "And the Peace Corps is a lot cheaper than study abroad programs."
Students interested in more information on the Peace Corps may attend a free film screening at 7:00 p.m. tonight at Borders book store. Students can also visit www.peacecorps.gov to learn more

SUA kicks off movie season with main feature
Nathan Dayani
Student Union Activities kicks off its movie season at 7 p.m. tonight at the Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
"We want to appeal to a wide range of students," said feature films coordinator Megan Fullagar, Manhattan sophomore. "We want students to see something they'll remember."
Kansan staff writer
Fullagar said SUA would show a mainstream feature film every Thursday and Friday at 7 p.m. She said SUA shows a different movie each week from the feature film series, starting off tonight with The Sweetest Thing, followed by Spiderman next week and About a Boy in two weeks.
"The movies that are in the series are movies that came out this summer. They're second-chance movies, but they're all movies that people would want to see," Fullagar said.
In addition to feature films, students can see a movie from either SUA's Spectrum or international series each Monday at 8 p.m. starting Sept. 16 with director Darren Aronofsky's Pi.

One example of an upcoming Spectrum film is Dogtown and Z Boys, a film about the early foundations of skateboarding. Dill said only 200 theaters in the United States have shown the film.

Andy Stevenson, Prairie Village senior, likes SUA's movie selection and campus location.
"They show a pretty good variety," he said. "And just after studying at the library, you can run to the Union and catch a movie."
Students interested in giving SUA feedback about its film selection can attend film discussion meetings every Tuesday at the Regionalist room in the Kansas Union at 6 p.m. for Spectrum and international films and at 7 p.m. for feature films.
"We welcome feedback, we need it," Fullagar said. "We program for the students, so the students' opinion really counts."
"I think what people don't understand is that they're often in complete control of the programming," he said. "Whatever you think of is possible - all you have to do is get involved."

"Minorities have been rather underrepresented in the sciences," she said.
The program began as the result of a grant application. According to Bode, the federal grant brings approximately $400,000 in additional funds to science-related introductory classes such as Math 002 and Biology 150. Other programs tied to majors such as biology, chemistry, psychology and exercise physiology also benefit from the grant.
"We are able to offer smaller sections of traditionally larger classes because of the grant," Bode said, who is teaching a smaller section of Biology 150 this fall.
Dr. James Orr chair of the division of biological sciences, and Dr. Marigold Linton, director of American Indian outreach, wrote the grant application. Orr said they wanted to increase the number of minority students in scientific research fields.
"I believe in this program and I think it will make the scientific community stronger in this country." Orr said.

in the program last May. He said he learned about it because one of his classes was taught by Bode, the program coordinator. Since then, he has found a regular job working in the pharmaceutical chemistry department with protein structures.
"We work with proteins to see how they react with polyanions," he said. "That's all I can tell you. It gets pretty complicated after that."
Yazzie said the program helped him home in on his particular interest in science. He also said the hands-on experience helped him with the work he did in labs connected to his classes.
In order to be eligible for the program, students must be a U.S. citizen, a member of a minority group and must have an interest in biomedical research. More information can be found on the program'swebsite, www.ku.edu/~imsd.
"Anyone who can should try the program because you get a lot of experience in a lab," Yazzie said. "You are in a lab every day, you get paid to do research and you gain experience. It's like you're sitting on a goldmine."

football, the Final Four and with an increased presence by the athletics department, administrators and coaches within our constituency has produced very positive results," Hinrichs said.
"Season ticket sales are over 24,000 this week," Hinrichs said,
"which is the most in 25 years and we're well on our way of getting to the record of 27,624. That increased demand brings in that many more donors to the Williams Fund."
Increased season ticket sales for football games have created one of the biggest boons to KUAC in covering the increased cost of tuition.
Konzem, who agreed increased interest in football and basketball has greatly helped raise donation numbers, said the additional money required for scholarships as well as plans to build a softball facility and an indoor tennis facility could cause another hit to KUAC's budget, although state budget cuts shouldn't affect Kansas athletics.
"The University is really hurt by budget cuts and we're affected... but it's not a significant amount," Konzem said,
"because we get money in ticket sales, donations and from the Big 12 Conference — TV money for football, TV money for basketball, football bowl money and NCAA basketball tourney money. Those things have a bigger impact on us than the State of Kansas."
Even though the expense of providing scholarships could increase each of the next four years if approved by the Board of Regents, Konzem said he didn't expect the increased cost to create a situation where teams would be cut or major changes would occur within KUAC.

Firefighters struggle to tame Sante Fe wildfires
The Associated Press
FENTON LAKE STATE PARK, N.M. A wildfire burned Monday across 2,200 acres of ponderosa pine and pinon forest in northern New Mexico, quickly devoured four summer homes and forced campers and homeowners to evacuate.
"It's traveling quite rapidly, spotting along the way," said Dolores Maese, a spokeswoman for the Sea Fe National Forest.
People evacuated from Seven Springs, which Maese called a community of "a few hundred homes," and an area called Thompson Ridge. Fire officials did not know how many people fled.
"Before I left, I could see right down the canyon and the flames were leaping up the trees," said Doug Shuprine, who has lived in Seven Springs for 10 years. "That's when I knew it was time to get out."
It was not immediately known what caused the fire in and near Fenton Lake State Park, about 50 miles north of Albuquerque.
Shuptrine said he packed his medicine, his dog, some food and clothes. He planned to stay at a lodge.
Elsewhere, a helicopter that was fighting a wildfire in southwestern Colorado crashed Monday, injuring all four people on board.
The Bell 206 helicopter was

making an initial attack on a wildfire about 15 miles west of Saguache when it went down, said Larry Helmerick, a fire information officer with the Rocky Mountain Coordination Center.
One person suffered severe head, back and neck injuries. The others suffered minor injuries, according to Mark Struble, spokesman for the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho.
In central Wyoming, firefighters guarded ranch houses against a wildfire that had grown to 5,120 acres in two days.
No structures had been damaged by the fire, which started Saturday in the Shoshone National Forest. Authorities asked 30 to 40 residents of Red Canyon and the occupants of 15 summer cabins along Pass Creek to evacuate.
Crews in southwest Oregon and northern California hoped to complete a nearly 300-mile containment line around a 500,000-acre wildfire Monday.
Strike could cause Boeing to close
The Associated Press
WICHITA — Boeing Co. plans to temporarily shut down commercial airplane production in Wichita if the Machinists union votes to strike, Jeff Turner, Boeing Commercial Airplanes Group's vice president and general manager, said yesterday.
Turner told reporters the company has offered a "fair and respectful" contract, and saw no point in extending the present contract and continuing negotiations. "We are at that point our employees need to decide," Turner said.
Union negotiator Garland Moore said the union was interested in continuing negotiations, but the company was not. Union leaders have characterized the contract as an attack on their benefits and the work force at large.
Boeing's Machinists union members vote today in Wichita and Seattle to decide whether to accept the company's contract
"The only winners in a strike at this point in our history will be our competitors," Turner said.
Turner also spoke to employees at the plant, urging them to accept the contract offer.
offer. and whether to strike.
If the membership votes to strike beginning Monday, pickets will go up at Boeing sites in Washington state, Portland, Ore., Wichita and at company headquarters in Chicago, union officials said.
turner said the company had contingency plans in the event of a strike, but hopes it will not have to use them. He said the company would not try to keep its commercial airplane production lines flowing during a strike.
Company officials said they had a set of priorities — such as military contracts and commercial work like repairs — it would focus on in the event of a strike.
"In the event that there is a strike we will put people to work — those
that come to work — on those priority items and we will follow that priority list as long as there is meaningful work," Turner said. "And then, if there is no meaningful work, we will continue to shut down the production."
Work will continue on airplane repairs and military contracts in spite of the strike, said company spokesman Dick Ziegler.
"We are not going to let democracy go wanting — our military customers go wanting — because we are on strike," Ziegler said.
The proposal presented Tuesday by Boeing included a 20 percent pension increase by the contract's third year and a boost in the ratification bonus — from 6 percent to 8 percent of a year's pay. But the union had sought a much higher pension as well as guarantees regarding job security for a work force that has seen layoffs since Sept. 11 slash its membership by 25 percent.
The company has proposed
delaying an increase in the employee share of health insurance premiums from July 2003 to January 2004.
The offer calls for a 2 percent wage increase in the second year of the contract and a 2.5 percent increase in the third year. There is no increase for the first year, when workers would receive the ratification bonus. Machinists make, on average, $50,000 a year.
The existing three-year contract covers about 25,000 union members in Washington, Oregon and Kansas. It expires Sunday.
While a simple majority can reject a contract proposal, it takes a two-thirds vote to strike. If strike authorization fails, the contract is automatically accepted.
Boeing's Wichita plant employs 12,680 workers, with about 5,900 of them represented by the Machinists Union. The union has struck twice in the past four contract negotiations, most recently in 1995.
Roberts pushing for drought aid
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts said yesterday that he would push for quick action on a drought relief bill for farmer.
Roberts said his annual tour of the state showed him that farmers face serious economic problems because of the drought and that the farm bill Congress approved won't do much to help them.
Roberts is among four Repub-
means sponsoring $3 billion drought relief legislation. Democrats have their own plan.
"We need to pass a bill in September," Roberts told reporters during a Statehouse news conference.
Roberts had the news conference to mark the end of his tour of the state's 105 counties. He also discussed the possibility of an attack on Iraq, saying Kansans want the U.S. to remain cautious.
In discussing agriculture
issues, Roberts told reporters he thought Congress should have taken another year in writing a new farm bill. In 1996, Roberts, as chairman of the U.S. House Agriculture Committee, was an architect of the farm bill.
This year's farm bill increased price guarantees, or loan rates, for crops such as wheat and corn and revived a target-price program to provide supplemental payments when commodity prices are below certain levels.
The bill also continues fixed annual payments that started with the market-oriented 1996 Freedom to Farm law.
But Roberts said tying aid to target prices didn't help farmers who were seeing a good deal of their crops destroyed by drought.
"It is a paradox of enormous irony that this allegedly was the best farm bill ever, but in terms of the High Plains, certainly not working well," he said.

Seattle man charged with helping terrorists
The Associated Press
SEATTLE — Federal authorities yesterday charged a former Seattle man with conspiring to help al-Qaida and set up a terrorist training camp in rural Oregon.
Earnest James Ujaama was named in a two-count indictment that accused him of conspiracy to provide material support and resources for al-Qaida and with using, carrying, possessing and discharging firearms during a crime.
The indictment contends Ujaama, a Muslim who was born James Earnest Thompson, led a conspiracy in 1999 to set up a training camp in Bly, Ore.
In October and November 1999, at meetings with co-conspirators there and in Seattle, the indictment says. Ujaama led discussions about the need "for further training, in order to be able to attend violent jihad-training camps in Afghanistan, the commission of armed robbery, the building of underground bunkers to hide ammunition and weapons, the creation of poisonous materials for public consumption, and the firebombing of vehicles."
Ujaama, who was arrested July 22 at a relative's home in Denver as a material witness to terrorist activity, has maintained his innocence.
Ujaama's attorney, Daniel Sears, said he suspected the government used the material-witness statute to hold Ujama until it could develop charges.
"If there's anything positive to come out of this, it renders some certainty to his situation," Sears said yesterday. "He can go about the business of defending himself against these allegations."
Sears said Ujaama, who remains in custody in Alexandria, Va., has not testified before a grand jury.
The indictment also names three co-conspirators. U.S. Attorney John McKay wouldn't identify them, but said none were U.S. citizens. He also said Ujaama is not connected to the five men in Detroit indicted separately yesterday on terrorism charges.
In written statement Tuesday, Ujaama accused the government of conducting a witch hunt.
"Should it be the policy of this government to convict innocent people before any hearing or before any trial?" Ujjaama asked. "My constitutional rights, my civil liberties and my future have been grossly violated in a bid to seek political gain, not justice or truth."
James Ujaama's brother, Mustafa — born Jon Thompson and also a Muslim convert — said yesterday that his brother remains in good spirits, despite five weeks behind bars.
"He knows he didn't do anything." he said.
Many community leaders in Seattle, where Ujaama grew up, have praised the brothers' work to eradicate drugs and prostitution from their neighborhood. They also worked to recruit former gang members and others into the now-defunct Dar-us-Salaam mosque. Other members of the mosque also have been investigated for possible ties to Osama bin Laden.
Authorities also have looked at James Ujaama's ties to Abu Hamza al-Masri, the leader of a London mosque known for extreme anti-American views.
Family members found dead in rural Alabama
The Associated Press
RUTLEDGE, Ala. — Six family members were found shot to death at their rural homestead, and a baby and her 16-year-old mother were missing. Authorities Wednesday were searching for them, a motive and two people they said were potential witnesses.
The bodies of the victims, including three teenage boys, were discovered at a tin-roofed wooden house and nearby mobile home Tuesday night and yesterday morning, District Attorney John Andrews said.
He said there were no suspects and did not comment on a possible motive.
The district attorney did not identify the victims, but Coleman Ball of nearby Greenville said law enforcement officials told him they were all members of his family.
He said his mother, Mila Ruth Ball, 62, who lived in the house, was killed, as was his sister, Joann Ball, 35, who
"I'm going to find me another place to live."
Lynn Pickens Rutledge resident
lived in the mobile home. He said the other victims were Joann Ball's sons — Jerry Ball, 18, Tony Ball, 16, and John Ball, 14 — and Willie Hasley, Joan Ball's common-law husband and the father of her children.
Joann Ball's daughter, 16-year-old Janice Ball, and her baby were missing, he said. He said that they lived in a second mobile home at the site, and that her boyfriend sometimes visited her there.
Authorities would not say whether the 16-year-old and her boyfriend were the two potential witnesses being sought.
The killings have frightened people living along the surrounding roads near Rutledge,
about 40 miles south of Montgomery.
"I'm going to find me another place to live," said Lynn Pickens, 37, who took her children to stay with relatives Tuesday night after learning of the killings. "I got four young ones. I can't put my children in danger like that."
Andrews said two of the bodies were found when officers arrived Tuesday night, three others were found shortly thereafter, and the sixth was found yesterday morning.
Investigators strung crime tape around the scene and officers kept onlookers away from the house, which has a screened porch and is set on a tree-shaded lawn with the two mobile homes only a short walk away.
Coleman Ball said he went to his mother's home after an aunt called and said the door to the house was locked and she was concerned.
A dog at the home also was shot, but survived.a

Predictions for outcome of first game
In honor of Jimmy the Greek and the Amazing Kreskin, in this column I will provide you with a sneak peek at Saturday's football game between the University of Kansas and Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa.
Kansas wins the coin toss — the high point of the game — and chooses to defer. Iowa State chooses to return and Jamaal Montgomery takes Johnny Beck's kickoff two yards deep in the end zone and returns it 35 yards to the Cyclones' 35-yard line. Six plays later, Cyclones quarterback Seneca Wallace scores on an 8-yard run, putting Iowa State ahead for good. ISU 7, KU 0.
After a touchback, Zach Dyer finally gets a chance to prove he deserves the starting job on the Jayhawks' next possession. He calms his teammates and leads them on an 11-play, 56-yard drive that results in a 41-yard field goal by Beck. ISU 14, KU 3.
State ahead for good On the ensuing kickoff, Derrick Mills and Leo Bookman collide going for the ball and the Cyclones recover in the end zone. ISU 14, KU0.
Second Quarter
Second quarter The Cyclones begin the quarter with a first down on their own 45-yard line. Three plays and two minutes later, Wallace hits tight end Kyle Knock with a 32-yard scoring toss for the senior's second career touchdown reception. ISU 21, KU 3.
Bookman, the Big 12 Conference champion in the Indoor and Outdoor 200-meter, atones for the earlier special teams mistake by racing past the Cyclone's special teamers and taking the kickoff 87 yards and into the end zone. ISU 21, KU 10.
On the next drive, Wallace goes over the 100-yard passing mark on the first play, a screen pass to running back Hiawatha Rutland, who rumbles 45 yards through the Jayhawks' defense. Rutland completes the drive with 28 yards rushing on the next five plays, including a 2-yard plunge into the end zone. ISU 28, KU 10.
Kansas breaks out its own rushing attack on its next drive, gaining 76 yards on 19 plays. Reggie Duncan follows the blocking of fullback Dan Coke and the left side of the offensive line, namely tackle Justin Sands, for 53 of those yards. Coke scores on a 1-yard run up the middle right before halftime. ISU 28, KU 17.
Third Quarter
The Jayhawks carry their momentum into the second half, as Dyer drives the team 84 yards on 14 plays. He hits tight Adrian Jones for a 15-yard touchdown as Mangino continues the success he showed with tight end Trent Smith at the University of Oklahoma. ISU28, KU 24.
Wallace cements his early run at the Heisman Trophy on the next drive, though, throwing for 50 yards and scoring on a 5-yard naked bootleg. ISU 35, KU 24.
Fourth quarter Dyer throws an interception on the Jayhawks' first drive of the final period. Wallace capitalizes with a 13-yard strike to Montgomery, ISU 42, KU 24.
Fourth Quarter
Duncanumbles on Kansas' next possession and Cyclones' backup quarterback Cris Love follows with a 28-yard touchdown pass to Montgomery. ISU49, KU24
On Kansas' final possession and with the game out of reach, Mangino decides to let Beck test his leg strength and he passes with a 62-yard field goal, the longest in KU history. Final score: ISU 49, KU 27.

Terry Allen is now returning to his home state to take on the role of assistant coach at Iowa State University. Making the move from head to assistant coach can be tough, but Allen said the transition was eased by his new boss.
There 's no place like home
By Doyle Murphy
Kansan sportswriter
Terry Allen is home again
The associate head coach and tight ends coach at Iowa State, Allen has returned to the state of his playing and professional success.
Other than a five-year stint as the coach of Kansas, Allen has spent his entire football career in Iowa. He was an all-conference quarterback at Iowa West High School in Iowa City, Iowa before spending 22 years at Northern Iowa as a player and coach.
To put it in Allen's words: "It's good to be back in Iowa."
Allen, who joined the Jayhawks in 1996 with a .743 career winning percentage—the best of any active Division I-AA coach—could not translate his success to the Division I level at Kansas.
He posted a 20-33 overall record before being dismissed before the final three games of last season.
Allen said his only regret at Kansas was the way he left.
"I feel bad because of the way the firing took place," Allen said. "I feel like I abandoned the players for the last three weeks. Those last three weeks were tough on the players."
Allen said returning as an assistant coach wasn't tough, especially because his new boss was a long-time friend.
McCarney said Allen's experience and people skills made him an instant favorite of Cyclone players and coaches.
favorite of Cyclope play. "The transition could not have been any easier," McCarney said. "This is the first time we've coached together, but we've known each other for 30 years."
Allen said he was pleased with his new position, but said he would have
mixed emotions this Saturday when he faced his former team. Most of the players on Kansas' team were recruited by Allen.
"Well, obviously it's a game you don't look forward to," he said. "It's hard."
Allen said his children might have the toughest time with the recent change.
"My kids might be a little confused," he said. "They weren't old enough to know that they were Jayhawks, and now they're Cyclones. And Saturday there is going to be Jayhawks and Cyclones."
going to be Jayawn. Allen said they would have time to adjust, because he did not plan on leaving the Hawkeye state in the near future. "Right now you just have to be happy to be at Iowa State." Allen said. "Sure I would like to be a head coach again, but I'd say that's in the distant future."

New coach hopes to keep fans in stands
By Jason King The Kansas City Star
Back in December, just hours after he was hired, first-year Kansas football coach Mark Mangino was introduced to the Rock Chalk Chant.
Snide as it may be, that's the phrase that pops up each time Jayhawk football fans begin their mass exodus of Memorial Stadium — usually in the third quarter.
the Rock Chalk Walk.
Still, as much as he loves the tradition,
Mangino is more focused these days on a different KU custom: The Rock Chalk Walk.
Just like some of the players competing on the field, KU football followers
have long been labeled a fickle, undependable bunch. Getting fans in the seats is one thing, but keeping them there is another.
is another.
"I don't think KU fans are fickle," Mangino said. "I think they're like a lot of fans. They want to see results. I wouldn't want to go and watch a lousy ball team, either.
"I'm a big believer in, 'If you win they'll come.'"
Secretary cuts hours after 34 years in office
By David Mitchell Lawrence Journal-World
Marge Hazlett once was asked to fill in for a few days in the University of Kansas football office.
She stayed for more than three decades.
"It's been a great ride," said Hazlett, who is beginning her 35th season in the football office. "It's unique. There's something about it that keeps me coming in. I don't want to give it up."
Hazlett was the head coach's secretary for 34 years, but has reduced her work load. This season she'll work part-time, monitoring the front desk and serving as coach Mark Mangino's administrative assistant.
Since Mangino arrived in December, he has changed everything from the coaching staff to uniforms, but Hazlett said Mangino's arrival didn't prompt her decision.
"People want to read that into it," she said. "It was my idea. After 10 coaches and 34 years, I wanted to have more free time."

Mangino said he expected to sleep like a baby Friday, the eve of his first game as a head coach.

Ticket sales up by 6k
University of Kansas football ticket sales have reached the highest point in more than 30 years.
More than 24,000 season tickets have been sold for the 2002 season an increase of almost 6,000 tickets from last year.
Lee Johnson, marketing director for the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation, credits Mangino with the change.
"It has a lot to do with the new regime," Johnson said. "There's a new coach, a new attitude and people are excited about that."
Students account for 6,400 season tickets by purchasing sports packages of football and men's basketball tickets.
Matt Rau, Overland Park freshman, bought a sports package and looks forward to the season.
"We have a new coach and I think he's going to do a good job." Rau said.
While excited about the new coach, Rau said he would have attended foot-

Martha's mess not hurting show
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — If Martha Stewart's television empire is to crumble because of insider trading allegations, so far only a few tiny cracks are visible.
Ever since her infamous cabbage-stabbing appearance in July, the one television gig that Stewart can't control — her weekly segment on CBS' The Early Show — has been put on indefinite hold.
Neither Stewart nor CBS want to mix cooking with financial questions again.
King World, the company that syndicates Martha Stewart Living, reports no fallout from the scandal that has put Stewart on the front pages of many newspapers this summer.
She's being investigated to determine whether she had insider information that led her to drop a drug company's stock just before federal regulators rejected the company's application for a new colon cancer drug.
No advertisers have backed out of the show, and no stations have chosen to stop airing it, said Arthur Sando, King World spokesman.
Garnett Losak, an expert on syndication for Petry Television said the show's content was never controversial. The program gets decent, not great, ratings and is popular among many of the women who are daytime TV's predominant viewers. It has never been hard to find advertisers, she said.
But some station operators have privately expressed some antsiness about the show recently, Losak said.
Questions about the show's future grew louder when King World announced earlier this month that it was producing a new talk show, Lizing it Up! with hosts Jack Ford and Alexandra Wentworth.
It's due to come on the air in fall 2003 and is designed to compete with Live with Regis and Kelly. It will be produced live each day during the 9 a.m. ET
time slot.
One problem: That's the same time slot where Martha Stewart Living airs in 52 of its 158 television markets, including six of the nation's 10 largest.
Many observers in the industry immediately concluded that King World was looking to replace Stewart with Living it Up!
Sando said that was not the case. The talk show was in development before investigators began looking into Stewart's finances, he said.
To be fair, it's common for syndicators to have shows in production or development that might compete with each other for airtime, much like the bignetworks do.
Both shows can air at any time during the day, and King World is leaving it up to interested stations to decide where to put them.
How long the networks will want Stewart's face on their air if her legal woes grow more serious is another matter.

Etienne eager to begin new season on field

Kansas' Leo Etienne isn't one to enjoy playing a lot of mind games.

But that's about all the senior outside linebacker could do last
spring while recovering from offseason shoulder surgery. No tackling, no contact of any kind.

That was then, of course. His shoulder has fully recovered from November's arthroscopic surgery.
His mind and body are more than ready for KU to open its season Saturday at Iowa State.

"I'm not just hungry for a game."
For Etienne, that was like taking a buldozer and using it to sweep the sidewalk.
If Mark Mangino was at all uncomfortable about his first game as Kansas' head coach coming against Iowa State and all-world quarterback Seneca Wallace, imagine how he feels now.

The Cyclones were one yard short Saturday from an opportunity to upset third-ranked Florida State.

Grant Jones, Prairie Village senior, has attended every game for the past 15 years. His family

Jones attributes the increase in ticket sales to tailgating, and Mangino's closed practices which he believes sparks public interest in the team.
"I think there's a lot of curiosity brewing in Lawrence," Jones said.
More than 500 recent graduates bought season tickets, which Johnson said is a slight increase from last year. The recent graduate group consists of those who graduated between 1998 and 2002.

Nebraska's Ricketts gains from challenge
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — When Pat Ricketts was looking at colleges the choice came down to accepting a scholarship offer or a challenge.
The Nebraska defensive back went with the challenge and now he has the scholarship to go with it.
"I felt coming to Nebraska was the best thing. It was kind of like I could try to prove that I could play at the top level," said Ricketts, who walked on at Nebraska in 1999 and is a starter three years later.
Ricketts was named the Big 12 defensive player of the week for his performance in Saturday's 48-10 victory over Arizona State. He had three tackles and broke up three passes in just his third career start.
Ricketts got the nod Saturday over Lornell McPherson, who is a co-No. 1 at left cornerback. He was named Monday as the league's top defender after the Cornhuskers held the Sun Devils
to 258 yards and had four sacks.
"I would like to thank the defensive line and the linebackers for that honor because they made it easy to be a corner out there on Saturday." Ricketts said of the Huskers' pressure up front.
Rickettis grew up in Omaha and was a high school teammate of fellow Huskers Judd Davies and Mike McLaughlin at Millard North. While Davies and McLaughlin received scholarship offers from Nebraska, Ricketts said his only invitations were coming from New Mexico State and the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, N.Y.
"Those are two great schools," Ricketts said. "Any time you're going to get your school paid for, compared to coming in and walking on, it's a huge decision."
Ricketts decided to try his luck at Nebraska. He sat out 1999 as a redshirt, although he was on the traveling squad for the season opener at Iowa. He backed up Keyuo Craver in 2000 and played in 10 of 11 games, making 18 tackles and breaking up a pass.
Colorado linebacker won't let injured wrist keep him out of game
The Associated Press
DENVER — Wearing a cast on his left wrist, Sean Tufts shrugged it off as merely a flesh wound.
The Colorado linebacker vowed it would take far more than an injured wrist to keep him out of Saturday's showdown with instate rival Colorado State.
"I twisted it in practice." Tufts said. "The cast is keeping it healthy right now."
Tufts, a graduate of Cherry Creek High School in suburban Denver, is fully aware of the importance of this rivalry, which resumed on a full-time basis in 1995 and which intensified after Colorado State won in 1999 and 2000.
Prior to that, Colorado had won eight straight meetings and 17 of 20 dating back to 1950.
"I would never say it's a good thing to lose," said Tufts, a junior whose first encounter with the Rams was a 28-24 loss in 2000.
When the perennial underdog wins, however, it makes for a better series.
"It gets us more focused," Tufts admitted. "It's not a rivalry if one team loses and the other team wins all the time. That's not very exciting."
Colorado routed the Rams 41-14 last year, and Tufts is eager to contribute to a repeat performance. Otherwise, it's a year of enduring insults and relentless razzing from CSU fans.
"A couple of my friends go up there and some of my friends are on the team," he said. "That's something very real to me, because if we lose to CSU like we did two years ago, that's all I hear about in the off-season. It gets old after a while."
To get the job done, the No.7 Buffaloes know they'll have to be stouter defensively than they were in their last three games of last season, when they surrendered 36, 37 and 38 points.
We know you're not stupid.

Band rocks Abe and Jake's
By Amy Kelly Jayplay writer
If you've ever seen Oliver Stone's The Doors, particularly the scene at The Whiskey A-Go-Go where the audience stands mesmerized, then you have a slight notion of the effect Blues Traveler had Tuesday night on the crowd at Abe & Jake's Landing. 8 E.Sixth St.
Blues Traveler may have disappeared from the limelight in the wake of the Justin Timberlake and I-Lo crazed, but that doesn't mean the music ever stopped.
To many a Top 40 devotee, Blues Traveler is the band that produced the catchy number "Run-Around." But dig past the marketing bonanza of radio stations, and Blues Traveler reveals itself to have some incredibly talented musicians.
The Lawrence performance was a testament to the group's vitality, which could have been extinguished by trials of recent years. Heart problems forced vocalist John Popper to perform in a wheelchair at the Horde Festival in Bonner Springs six years ago; in 1999, bassist Bobby Sheehan died of a drug overdose, and Popper was plagued by a blocked artery.
When they took the stage for the nearly three-hour show, the band did not just play songs — it devoured them with absolute ecstasy. Popper and guitarist Chan Kinchla seemed to be in another world, one the
"It was really awesome." It really got the crowd going."
Courtney Sullivan Chicago senior
audience members were aching to explore for themselves.
"Slow Change" melded infectious melodies into the sound of a train chugging down a track. The song showcased the talents of Popper, bassist Tad Kinchla, drummer Brendan Hill and pianist Ben Wilson.
Most of the evening was dedicated to traditional jams, and the hypnotic results were most evident when Blues Traveler set aside its Southern feel for a touch of the psychedelic.
Bassist and vocalist Victor Wooten, named "Bass Player of the Year" by Bass Player magazine three different years, dominated the show's opening. Wooten could dethrone George Clinton as the king of funkdom.
Jessica Havlicek/Kansan
"It was really awesome," Courtney Sullivan, Chicago senior, said of Wooten's act. "It really got the crowd going."
Wooten was joined onstage by former Arrested Development vocalist Speech, who was greeted with hands in the air.
Chan Kinchla, lead guitarist for Blues Traveler, rocks out Tuesday night at Abe and Jake's Landing. The well-attended Lawrence show was a testament to the group's vitality.
When the 1992 Grammy Award winner broke out into the MTV darling "Everyday People," the crowd went wild.
"I'm a big fan of Speech, so it was a great surprise when he came out onstage," said Steve Cramer, Wellington graduate student.

Spoon serves up best eclectic album yet
By Jeff Hayes
Jayplay writer
Spoon's Kill the Moonlight, released last week on Merge Records, opens with a propulsive keyboard riff, joined shortly by Britt Daniel's faux Brit-pop vocals as "Small Stakes" builds layer by layer.
The song coils itself tightly, reeling in the listener and offering no release.
The following eleven tracks are a colorful explosion of handclaps, tambourines, ear-catching choruses and undiluted pop hooks.
Combining rock 'n' roll grit with the keen pop instincts that fueled Squeeze and Elvis Costello 20 years ago, Kill the Moonlight presents a newly evolved Spoon.
Austin rockers Spoon haven't sunk to churning out vapid, bubbly pop, though.
Their sonic palette has expanded even further than on last year's fantastic Girls Can Tell, where Spoon began their meta-
Careening from bouncy piano jaunts such as "The Way We Get By" and "Someone Something," to the nervy guitar slushings that propel "Jonathon Fisk," Kill the Moonlight, is concise, punchy and vibrant.
Although guitarist Daniel is unquestionably the band's frontman, drummer Jim Eno deserves credit for much of Spoon's current eclecticism.
Eno, working behind both the mixing boards and the drum kit, brings a distinct flavor to each track.
"Stay Don't Go" employs a human beatbox sample, while "You Gotta Feel It" and "Back to the Life" dole out heavy rhythmic drum patterns.
sophisticated indie pop.
This airy aesthetics started in "Small Stakes" is brought to a head on "Paper Tiger," where clinking drumsticks and outer space thumping provide a fragile bed for keyboards, brief piano fills and minimal
On "Jonathan Fisk," he snarls through a recollection of a childhood bully who "speaks with his fists," clenching his teeth as he details the title character: "Jonathan then says it's a sin / But he don't think twice cause to him / Religion don't mean a thing / It's just another way to be right wing."
Daniel's lyrics are often vague, sketching little more than outlines of his topics, but the album is stuffed with memorable lines.
The elements of "Paper Tiger" seem on the verge of slipping apart into nothingness, tethered only by Daniel's plaintive vocals, proclaiming "I'm not dumb / Just want to hold your hand."
In "The Way We Get By," Daniel takes dead aim at the lives of modern teenagers, producing an anthem for an aimless generation: "We go out in stormy weather / We rarely practice discern / We make love to some weird sin / We seek out the taciturn."
piano pounding, could easily be a lighthearted outtake from an early David Bowie album.
Spoon's sense of history and knack for combining the best parts of rock music's past lends a resonance to Kill the Moonlight that was missing from previous efforts.
Likewise, "All the Pretty Girls Go to the City," among the album's finest cuts, bubbles over with the jittery tenseness that Bowie and Costello so expertly dished out in their respective primes.
Yes, Spoon draws comparisons to other rock acts, but has carved its own identity, song after song building an aural portrait of a talented band at the peak of its powers.
By the time the album drives to its conclusion with "Vittorio E.," a wistful, dreamy ballad, Spoon has cemented its best album yet and compiled one of the best rock records of the year.

Trump Dawgs fetch a following with funk
THE BLACK FRIENDS
Photo contributed by Trump Dawgs
The Trump Dawgs offer "technotic funk" on their album, The Art of Crushin'.
Janette Yost Jayplay Writer
“T-R-U-M-PD-A-W-G-S!”
Opening for Havalina Saturday night at the New Earth Coffeehouse, 3953 Walnut St. in Kansas City, Mo., Kenny and Donald Carter, cousins, lent the crowd a hand with the spelling of their band's name.
The Trump Dawgs have played in the Kansas City music scene for the past year building a following.
Kenny, the originator of the group, described their music as simply "techtonic funk."
The Trump Dawgs offered their funky sound to the coffeehouse crowd with mellow, grooving songs, in addition to some with mosher's-delight distortion. The band also played some jammy tunes with a classic funk feel to them. All these sounds are enhanced by turntables and electronics, resulting in a unique style and an addictive live show. Bass player Anthony Case's son, Joachim, dreadlocked at 2-years old, added a sweetness to the show when he took a stand in front of his father's bass and added his own groove to the last
three songs of the set.
The Trump Dawgs have gained fans because of their passionate and fun live show. Keith Willson, Tulsa junior, said going into the show he knew it would be
good.
"Their music is really easy to get into," Willson said.
Kenny owns his own recording studio and produced the band's album, The Art
of Crushin', which is available at local music stores.
Kenny writes most of the music, plays guitar and sings.
He said they are making the project "to feed our lust for improvisation. This will be one of our best outlets until we make a million dollars and can quit our jobs."
Other band members include Luke Sullivant on lead guitar; Lester Estelle on drums and "musical face breaking," as the album liner denotes; Donald on percussion, keys, background vocals and emceeing; and David Kelly on turntables.
The Movement, slated to begin in late September or early November at The Culture House, 7200 W.106th St.,in Overland Park, will involve a number of groups: Peppershaker, a sideproject of Waterdeep's drummer Brandon Graves;
Because the band is made up mostly of family men, The Trump Dawg's live acts happen only sporadically as the men earn livings from their day jobs.
Kenny is pioneering a new project called The Movement.

Band'saves' audience with sound that transcends music boundaries
By Bill Heinen Jayplay writer
Keeping up with the Band That Saved the World proves to be a task as difficult as well, saving the world.
The Band That Saved the World, who will perform tomorrow night at the Jazzhaus, 926 1/2 Massachusetts St., wants to do no less than "heal and transform the world," said Shannon Savoie, lead vocalist.
They've started by transforming themselves. The group boasted a tap dancer when they formed in 1995. Now a funkrock ensemble with elements of soul, jazz and party-rock spliced in between the catchy, rhythmic beats and honey-glazed vocals, the band crosses the restrictive boundaries of style.
Trumpet player and vocalist Aaron Morris, known as "the Rev," said transcending such boundaries made finding commercial success more difficult.
"It's tough to break out and get big when you play outside the set genres," Morris
"If it moves people, great, but they can also just shake their butts and have a great time."
Aaron Morris trumpet and vocals
said. "We see ourselves making it, but it makes everything a lot harder."
He said the band, which is not a Christian group as its name might suggest, performed its "saving" by facilitating a fun atmosphere.
"If it moves people, great, but they can also just shake their butts and have a good time."
Shannon said Lawrence audiences usually had just that, though the band's experience playing from Denver to Austin to Madison revealed a Midwestern audience that moved in waves.
"The local Lawrence scene is high-tide and low-tide," she said. "All over the Midwest especially, and here in Lawrence, there's times when a crowd is supportive
and then times when all local music seems overkill to them."
The band, which does its own booking promotions and record production, also includes bass player Will Dinkle, drummer and back-up vocalist Tom Wenner ("Toad") and rhythm guitarist and keyboardist Mike MacFarland.
Why might the band save the world, or save anything, for that matter?
"Because," Wennersaid, "ifyou canfind some one better qualified to save the world, let me know."
Much has changed for the band since 1995. But if fans want to tap dance, they are certainly more than welcome to do so.
Have you been saved?
Trump Dawgs CONTINED FROM PAGE 4
The band's most recent album, "Changes," is available at area music stores.
They will perform tomorrow night at the Jazzhaus, and Saturday at The Hurricane in Kansas City, Mo.
Kenny hopes The Movement will become a weekly stint, eventually moving into its own venue. They plan to make their way to Lawrence for shows at The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., and the Jazzhaus, 926 1/2 Massachusetts St.
KLT, Kenny's other project; and a few other local groups. Combined, these guys will head up nights of creative music and themes.
Theme nights will include a full-out rock KISS night with complete face makeup, as well as a hip hop night. Guest rappers and DJs will be showcased with the band.
The Trump Dawgs will perform Sept. 13 at The Hurricane, 4048 Broadway, in Westport. Watch for updates on the band and The Movement here in Jayplay.

Popularity doesn't mean film isn't art
Is it me, or is anyone else sick of these humorless, self-important, reflexive films that pass off as critical darlings?
FILM SNOB
PETER KENNEDY
James Owen
jowen@kansan.com
Last year's Oscar season provided a good example. Did anyone other than coastal cinephile critics get anything out of watching the Marxist rant known as Robert Altman's Gosford Park? Or how about the "Skinimax" direct-to-video mind trip, David Lynch's Mulholland Dr.?
Because art, or Art, as some put it, is the prism for how we see our society, shouldn't it appeal to as many people in society as possible? That's not to say XXX is art simply because it's popular, but if people followed the logic of cinematic elitists, they would argue something popular can't be art. This summer gave us several examples of how the major studios may actually know what they are doing. Here's a top-five list of some of recent mainstream films worthy of a poster.
1. Sam Raimi's Spider-man: Letting Raimi direct the adaptation of the webshooting superhero comic kept the film from becoming as lifeless and overdone as a Batman film directed by Joel Schumacher. Raimi cast unlikely starlets as Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst in the
lead roles and brought an emotional edge and unique darkness to the large budget. So who cares if the Green Goblin's outfit made Willem Dafoe look like a drugged-out Mighty Morphin Power Ranger?
2. Al Pacino and Robin Williams going head-to-head: Christopher Nolan, already a master of manipulating perspective with 2001's Mamento, took a mediocre Norwegian film and turned the remake of Insomnia into a whole new type of thriller. Pacino as the guilt-ridden and sleep-deprived cop took on Williams' too-polite-not-to-be-a-serial-killer in a nightless Alaska.
3. Steven Spielberg, the ultimate Indie filmmaker: Spielberg has abandoned films involving lost boys and focused on the
darker themes and issues of our society. Witness Minority Report, a Tom Cruise action-thriller on the surface that acts as a philosophical diatribe on the U.S. legal system below the surface. And weren't those "spider teams" just flat out creepy?
4. The road to hell is paved with great cinematography: Has there been a more beautiful film released other than Road to Perdition in the past 10 years? The palate created by cinematographer Conrad L. Hall gave 1930s Illinois the lights and shadows that the film's deep story truly deserved. It was almost enough to upstage the acting duet of Tom Hanks and Paul Newman.
5. Matthew Lillard's award-deserving performance as Shaggy in Scooby-Doo: Laugh if you must, but this screwball supporting actor came into his own against a computer-generated dog. Lillard, for what it's worth, invested every bit of his acting ability to bringing this character to life. This is my guy when Oscar nominations are announced in February.

'Simone is a virtual bombshell
By Stephen Shupe
Jayplay writer
Al Pacino, who looked about 70 years old on the front page of The Kansas City Star last week, downloads a movie star in Simone, an uneven but conceptually brilliant comedy.
After one too many pampering sessions with a superstar, Hollywood director Viktor Taransky (Pacino) quits the live-acting biz altogether, taking with him his somber movies with scores by Samuel Barber and

If the South had won
Film about Civil War looks at how history might have changed
By Stephen Shupe
Jayplay writer
Two KU film instructors are filming a potentially controversial, independent film about the Civil War.
The film, CSA, or Confederate States of America, is a pseudo-documentary about what the last 150 years would have been like had the South won the Civil War.
It marks the first feature-length collaboration between Kevin Willmott, CSA writer and director, and Matt Jacobson, cinematographer.
MARK JONES
CSA evolved from Wilmott's feelings that the South "won the way of life" even into the 1970s.

Gabriele Fauré. When Viktor inherits a computer program named "Simulation One" (or "Simone"), a star, as the trailers say, is digitized.
Still, the director approaches the twisted lands of Hollywood with a surreal spin. His last film, Gattaca (which was recently named the best sci-fi flick of the last two decades by Wired magazine), received an Oscar nomination for its art direction, and that same style lets Pacino fade into Simone's atmospherics. The whole film practically begs you to question the reality of its surroundings.
Writer-director-producer Andrew Niccol's satirical jabs hit the right notes, but surely someone would be able to see through Viktor's digital pixie dust. Even kids nowadays wonder why the new Star Wars movies look like Marvin the Martian cartoons. Niccol might have done better to set his film in the near future, when the difference between the real and the fake should be less defined.
Simone, who suggests the airbrushing of the University of Kansas playmates stretched to infinity, quickly becomes a worldwide sensation, so Viktor must scramble to keep her identity hidden.

Fed up with the limitations of live actors, Al Pacino "directs" a cyber-starlet in Simone.

It looks like the studio decided to back the more lucrative franchise. Niccol evidently knows how to touch some nerves. If he keeps this up, expect to see his future movies die similarly quick deaths.

Jukeboxes hit right note

Alexandra Horn, St. Louis senior, thinks a big part of going out is the music played in bars and clubs. Jukeboxes add a soundtrack to students' nightlife.
Bars turn up tunes keep Lawrence revelers rocking all night long
JOHNNY'S LAVERN
BUY CD
On the play, you
dont hear him on the play
of his play.
By Peter Black Jayplay writer
You may not realize it, but they have probably shaped some of the your fondest memories from college. Chances are you've heard a song at a bar that has influenced you to take another drink, get up and start dancing or go talk to that person you've been eyeing all night.
They provide you, bar patron, with the soundtrack of your life.
For Evan Fox, Garden City junior, playing songs at bars is almost worth more than the beer he drinks.
"It is an empowering rush to play a set of songs and to look around and see people starting to enjoy themselves because of something you played," he said.
Jukeboxes play a major role in the Lawrence bar scene and serve as a fun way to kick the night off the way you want it.
Self-proclaimed jukebox expert Alexandra Horn, St. Louis senior, thinks a big part of going out is the music that you hear.
Area Jukebox Ratings (out of 50)
"I love music and I love jukeboxes because they let you listen to songs that you love from CDs you may not have, and line up a set of songs that will set the tone for the entire night," she said.
So where are the best jukeboxes in town? We critiqued several local jukeboxes, considering the following: number of plays for your money, variety, ease of use, volume, location within the bar, currency of selections, chillability, and danceability, and whether the jukebox fits with the mood of the bar.
A new digital jukebox is the centerpiece of Johnny's Tavern. The $8,500 machine offers more than 50,000 songs which are updated every month.

Go to kansan.com for a break-down of the scores.
O'Dell's, 733 Massachusetts St., and Johnny's Tavern, 401 N. Second St., emerge as jukebox standouts. Their boxes offer selections spanning many musical genres and play at the perfect volume — loud enough to hear but not so loud it blocks out a lame bar conversation. The Wheel, 507 W. 14th St., offers the best deal — four songs for a $1, 10 for $2, and 25 for $5 — but O'Dell's and Johnny's offer reasonable prices and CDs that aren't found anywhere else.
"Since a large portion of our crowd is regulars and locals, we are willing to take a local band's CD and put it in our jukebox," she said.
Brooke Corcoran, a bartender at O'Dell's, said the bar was dedicated to its local clientele.
Corcoran added that bartenders paid attention to the type of crowd on a given night, and adjusted the music to fit.
The jukebox at Jefferson's, 743 Massachusetts St., on the other hand, has no CDs that stick out as unique selections. Plus, the majority of choices are mellow songs that run against the grain of the bar's sporty atmosphere, such as a slow Frank Sinatra
song that irritated Micki Prinster, St. Charles, Mo., senior. The Jefferson's jukebox is also plagued by fiscal problems: the price-per-play sign is covered up, leaving the cost a mystery.
Lawrence bars cater to different crowds
and the selection in the jukebox helps to give each location a character of its own.

boast jukeboxes that fit perfectly with the bars' atmospheres. The Sandbar offers songs that transport revelers to the beach —almost a quarter of the jukebox is Jimmy Buffet.
Jukeboxes that cater to a niche audience face the challenge of becoming irritating for regulars. Fox loves going to The Wheel but gets annoyed hearing the same songs over and over again.
"They have some really good songs, but every time you go in there you only hear the stereotypical fraternity and sorority music," he said. "U2, Dave Matthews Band, Van Morrison are the only songs I ever hear there. They have Billy Ocean in there but you never hear Caribbean Queen."
Variety seekers should consider the emergence of digital jukeboxes, which are able to offer much larger selections by tapping into online servers. Servers usually update their song lists every few months.
Jeff Allmon, Wichita senior, said digital jukeboxes were a big tease.
"Digital jukeboxes are big lies because they appear to have a huge selection of good CDs," he said. "Then, when you select the disc, you find out that they only
offer the single so it turns out to be a huge let down because your favorite song isn't an option."
The $8,500 digital jukebox at Johnny's, installed earlier this week to complement a new sound system, offers more than 50,000 songs updated every three months and access to every song title on featured CDs.
Johnny's manager Arron Hoare said he was willing to upload CDs from local bands to the jukebox and the bar still
offered its traditional jukebox in another part of the bar.
While some digital jukeboxes may mislead people, the jukeboxes do offer a few options the traditional models lack. For people irritated by waiting for their selection to play, digital jukeboxes offer the option to cut in line by playing a song as the very next tune for an extra dollar.
What if you spent your last dollar on drinks? Don't worry, they have figured out yet another way to take advantage of

Theatre changes cause anxiety
By Donovan Atkinson Jayplay writer
The University of Kansas' department of theatre and film has recently undergone some structural changes, gaining support from some students and faculty and annoyance from others.
"It's just a mild restructuring," said John Gronbeck-Tedesco, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and professor of theatre and film.
As part of the restructuring, the artistic director of University Theatre now answers to the head of the theatre and film department instead of to the dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. John Staniunas, associate professor of theatre and film, replaced Delores Ringer, director and associate professor of theatre and film, as artistic director of University Theatre. Staniunas declined to comment.
Gronbeck-Tedesco said the change would streamline the department, allowing students to move easily from the theatre to the film side.
A major concern has been integrating the department into a whole. Gronbeck-Tedesco said the restructuring would allow more communication between course management
and production management.
"The department has changed over 75 years," he said. "We're just integrating the pieces."
The change has met some opposition.
"Two-thirds of the faculty and staff are in favor of it," Gronbeck-Tedesco said. "Some aren't so sure, some are probably somewhat annoyed by it."
Students in the theatre and film department may not be aware of the restructuring, but some sense tension.
"Students, more than anything, notice stress. But they don't know exactly what's going on," said Caitlin Mc Donald, Bismarck, N.D., sophomore.
Some feel optimistic about the changes.
Homan saw the faculty changes as a way to give all staff members a chance to be involved in the creative process.
"Whatever happens, KU students will adapt," said Sarah Homan, Overland Park junior.
Other students were hesitant to comment on the departmental changes.
"Nobody knows what's going on," Mc Donald said.
Gronbeck-Tedesco, however, said students would be more at ease if they were unaware of the restructuring.
"Students shouldn't be thrown into things," he said.

Jeans going 'up'in popularity
Low-rise jeans have bared themselves all over the fashion scene these last few seasons. Almost every woman on campus is showing off her belly button — and from behind, her thong.
Low-rise jeans, for those who are not familiar with the lingo, fasten a few inches beneath the belly button and rest on the hip. They are famous for complementing many body types but notorious for showing off one's posterior.
COMMENTARY
However ladies, it is not our fault that underwear has become more like hangouter-wear, and this plumber look is the fad. I blame the makers of these jeans.
---
Don't get me wrong, I am an avid low-cut jean wearer, but I believe the "too much of a good thing" principle applies here.
Take Levi's jeans. First it was Super Low jeans, then the Two Low. But now Levi's offers the Too Super Low series.
I took the liberty of trying on a pair of these, as the manufacturer warns, "dangerously low" jeans and have had it up to here with the low-rise. You are going to need a very painful Brazilian bikini wax and no desire to actually sit down to sport these pants.
Sarah Behunek sbehunek@kansan.com
Cute? Maybe. Practical? Definitely not.
Not only are the jean makers and Britney Spears in on this low-rise conspiracy, so are the makers of our unmentionables. I noticed after perusing Victoria's Secret that even they are accommodating this craze. On the racks are low-rise thongs, and in the catalog, jeweled v-strings. V-strings feature the tiny triangle commonly seen peeking from the rear of college girls' pants at your favorite bar.
Jeweled panties or not, we cannot hold on to the low-rise forever. According to recent fashion magazines, midriff revealing jeans are actually on their way out. Well, up.
This month's Harper's Bazaar reports designer Nicolas Ghesquiere's most recent
fashion show has raised the pant waistline to ... the waistline.
Remember the girls' jeans in Dazed and Confused? They actually button at the belly button. You get the idea. Now Gucci, Jean Paul Galtier and Alexander McQueen are all celebrating the fad in their fall lines. Bazaar is not the only one promoting the rising trend. Vogue editors also devoted a page to pants that fasten above the hip in a recent issue.
This high-rise style is changing the focus on body dimensions. Ghesquière says, "We are always striving to develop a new silhouette." Jean and dress-pant waistlines are moving up to make legs look longer, rather than accentuate the torso.
Designers then add cropped, boxy tops to the mix for emphasis. High heels can be worn for those who demand the ultimate in lengthening.
Most of you probably are not going to start replacing your low-rises with the new waist line right away.
But take my word for it—extremely low-rise jeans are as high as they are going to get in popularity. It is time to move on and move up with pant fashion.
Non-Christians see strength in numbers
By Leslie Kimmel Jayplay writer
Some students study their Bibles. Samara Nazir, Overland Park sophomore, reaches for her Quran, five times a day.
图为2013年11月14日拍摄的苏慧怡。
"I define myself by my religion," Nazir said. "It's a way of life for me so I try to do it as much as I can."
Jared Soares/Kansan
Nazir practices Islam, one non-Christian religion represented on campus. Nazir and others make special arrangements to practice their religions and encounter people unfamiliar with their beliefs.
Nazir addressed the issue with the non-Muslim people in her life at the beginning of the school year.
Nazir said obstacles such as her prayer schedule made her religion more difficult to pursue, but Islam allowed for some flexibility around Western lifestyles.
"The one thing I love about the religion is that it is so understanding about obstacles," Nazir said. "Even though you are required to pray five times a day, you have
"I try to pray five times a day," Nazir said. "I pray in my room, and I discussed that with my roommate, asking if it would be okay."

the option to make it up later."
Having classes during holy days is another roadblock most non-Christian students encounter. Jay Lewis, executive director of the KU Hillel Foundation, explained that this was a problem for the Jewish students in early fall, during the high holidays. The KU Administration estimates eight percent, or between 1,500 and 1,800 KU students are Jewish.
"The high holidays — Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur — come so early in the
school year." Lewis said. "That's a day that students should spend all day in a synagogue. It's hard to just take days off."
Finding other students of similar religious beliefs could help overcome these challenges, Lewis said. Jewish students were encouraged to live in Naismith Hall because of the high number of Jewish students living there, and to get involved in Jewish organizations like Hillel.
Certain religions also have dietary laws they can't follow on campus. Lewis said many Jewish students had a hard time following the dietary laws of Judaism, which require maintaining kosher eating habits such as not mixing milk and meat in the same meal.
"That's the difference of a community to have people to connect with and support you, be it fellow students, staff or professionals in the community." Lewis said.
"There is a large number of students where keeping kosher is a priority, but for some it's not easy," Lewis said. "We do not have kosher restaurants, and the dorms are not kosher."

Take pride in your magic number
TOMMY
SEX
Meghan Bainum
mbainum@kansan.com
In an honored, first-week-of-class tradition, let's start out the year with a little getting-to-know-you game.
Instead of divulging favorite movies or pets' names, how about something a little more revealing — like magic numbers. You know, how many people you've slept with.
I'll go first. My name is Meghan Bainum. My magic number, to the best of my knowledge, is 10. I also have three cats: Stella, Mogwei and Wayne.
So, ready to go?
Granted, this question is usually asked in a slightly different situation: between friends, lovers or in a drunken game. But it's usually accompanied by the same emotion: worry.
Is your number too small? Too large?
What is the cut-off point between having a good time doing what you want and having way too much of a good thing?
What makes things even more complicated is that standards of judgment usually depend on who is revealing the holiest of numbers.
One of the most recent examples of this double standard occurred in American Pie 2, and went something like this: to get
someone's true magic number, add three for women and subtract three for men.
Hmmmmm. It is telling that women feel forced to downplay their sex lives, while men feel forced to appear as sexual stallions.
This whole magic number thing might be more complicated than it appears. It is hard to be truthful about your sexuality when you could be persecuted for either too much sex, or too little.
So how much sex is not too much,not too little,but just right?
One 2001 study, conducted with interviews of 11,161 British people, ages 16 to 44, found the average magic number for heterosexual partners to be four for men and two for women. Find more on that one in the story "Sex at the Millennium," on the
United Kingdom's Medical Research Council Web site, www.mrc.ac.uk.
Average, smaverage, says an article at Ananova.com, which reports that 64 percent of men and 54 percent of women ages 17 to 25 thought having at least 10 partners before marriage was "normal."
Of course, both surveys were done in the U.K., and "normal" magic numbers could be different here in the States. Also, no homosexual partners.
In any case, a bunch of numbers can't possibly tell the whole story, and render words such as "normal" almost meaningless. Nobody has a right to define normal for anyone else — especially when dealing with sex. Whether your magic number is 0 or 10,000, the only thing that matters is how you feel about it. And, if you feel good about it, own that number.
I, for one, am proud to be a 10. Being independent and owning my sexuality is something I value. Respect yourself, and be proud of experiencing the magic of sex, if you choose to do so. Just be safe about it. There's nothing magic about disease or surprise babies.
Strength CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11
"It's hard to be Jewish on an island."
Lewis said many students also had the option of going home to practice their faiths, and many students flew home for major holidays.
Nazir's mother sometimes called her to remind her to pray, but Nazir said she had become fairly independent about her religion.
"My family is always a helpful thing," Nazir said, "but I think I have a strong enough faith to train myself to do things like prayer."
Nazir said it wasn't so bad being a non-Christian in a Christian environment. Being exposed to new groups of both non-Muslims and Muslims had strengthened her religious beliefs.
"My Muslim friends would stop and talk about it," Nazir said.
"My non-Muslim friends would ask me questions, and I want to be able to answer their questions. All aspects help me to learn more about my religion."

Top five destroyers of mind and social life
By Jordan Tucker Jayplay writer
WARNING: Geek-speak follows. Some terms may be unfamiliar to those with good hygiene.
For those of you in the geek world, that feeling of staying up until six in the morning just to finish "one more level" is all too familiar. The toll a Diablo II or a Metal Gear Solid takes on one's social, scholastic, and, yes, love life is considerable. But regrettable?
METAL GEAR SOLID 2
SONS OF LIBERTY
MATURE
M
A MARK RUSSELL PRODUCTION
KONAMI
Hell no.
Here is my tab of the top five video game crack of the past few years, on console and PC.
SOUL CALIBUR for Dreamcast (Namco,1999)
The finest of the 3D fighters, and the first fighting game that was truly a piece of art to watch. Backgrounds are breathtaking, weapons clash in showers of sparks and the game, when really cooking, looks like a martial arts demo. You can even watch the characters performing pre-programmed
demos (or katas) as an unlockable option. Plus, most of the kata moves can be executed and seamlessly chained together while actually fighting.
STARCRAFT for PC (Blizzard Entertainment, 1998)
The game that brought real-time strategy
(considering multi- and single player) to the next level. Starcraft offers three balanced groups with customizable maps. Vibrant graphics and the coolest sound clips around. "Somebody call for an exterminator?" the Ghosts ask. Yeah, and they're called Blizzard, who wiped out all other RTS contenders with their War/Star Craft series.
DIABLO II for PC (Blizzard Entertainment, 2000)
Speaking about annihilating competition, Blizzard's Diablo series sold 7 million copies in five years. The first Diablo was nice, but those hacking pansies destroyed online play. Diablo II comes along with five characters as opposed to the original's three, skill trees and tons of weapons. And yes, a relatively hacker-proof online system. Plus, you can shoot the breeze in the wonderfully laid-out chat rooms.
EVERQUEST for PC (Verant Interactive, 1999)
The infamous, unspeakable addiction known as Evercrack. Everquest is the best working translation of a tabletop RPG
(role-playing game) to online play. Twelve classes and 14 "professions" complete with restrictions and bonuses make for a solid character core, closer to a real RPG than say, Diablo. The game world is huge, large warbands are encouraged, and aimlessly waltzing around has never been so fun. After you play it that ten bucks a month for access doesn't sound so bad all of a sudden.
METAL GEAR SOLID 2:SONS OF LIBERTY for Play Station 2 (Konami, 2001)
As far as single-player games go, this is the most impressive game ever created. More a movie than a third person shoot-'em-up. Oh yeah, let's get to the game part. The dialogue and graphics are top notch — Snake's mullet flows in the breeze. Weird little quirks like losing performance by smoking too many cigs add to the overall flavor. Did you almost cry when Fortune made her last stand? I sure as hell almost did.

Local bands use Web to gain fans, recognition
By Henry C. Jackson Jayplay writer
Ask any serious aspiring musicians and they'll tell you; it's much harder to get your name known than to play music. To see how well local bands are taking advantage of the Web, Jayplay looked at the Web sites of three bands from Lawrence and the surrounding area.
The Get Up Kids (www.theget upkids.com)
Aura: The site is slickly designed, with a black background and cover art. Users are greeted by music from Across a Wire, their latest album, creating a
the-band-is-grateful-you-came-to-visit them vibe and promoting their latest tunes.
Usefulness: The site has everything you'd want — tour info, merchandise sales, pictures, contact info and a reasonably well-updated band news section. A minus is the lack of free MP3 downloads.
Overall: A well-designed site for an already quite prominent Kansas City five-some.
Aura: Flower power. The site is bright yellow with spinning flowers. You can listen to tracks from the band's latest album, but they don't play automatically. Instead, you must click on an icon at the bottom of the page to hear your choice of music from The Anniversary's latest release, Your Majesty.
The Anniversary (www.anniversary- rock.com)
Usefulness: Message board, discography biography, photos and a media site with songs to download, as well as links to other bands' Web sites.
Overall: Lawrence's The Anniversary has a nice, upbeat site with a lot of features, but they could promote their music better by incorporating it more.
The Band That Saved The World
(www.tbtstw.com)
Aura: It doesn't look like much at first, lacking attention-grabbing effects, but the site is well-designed, with a maroon menu at the top and band news on the front page.
Usefulness: This site has it all with promotional material — downloadable videos, more than a dozen MP3s, a biography page, a link to song lyrics and links to other music sites. Plus, it's updated regularly.
Overall: What it lacks in style,it more than makes up for in substance. This site has a lot of info packed onto it.

Mediterranean salads tasty, easy to toss up
EAT THIS
P. K. BALENEY
Christina DiGiacomo
edgiacomo@kansan.com
Between managing classes, the heat, and browsing the beautiful people on campus, you may find it difficult to cool off. Chill out and make yourself one of these three easy Mediterranean salads, with just one salad dressing. Try Paul Newman's Caesar dressing or another oilbased Caesar dressing. (All profits from purchases of Paul Newman's dressings go to charity.)
Escape to the flavors of Italy and Greece for your next meal.
Each of the following makes 1-2 servings.
Graciously Greek Salad
4-5 leaves, washed and patted dry. Place leaves on top one another & cut across lengthwise.
10 cherry tomatoes cut in half
1/2 cup red onion peeled and sliced into thin strips
10 Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced in half
2 Tablespoons of Feta cheese
8 slices of cucumber stacked on top of one another and cut into cubes
2 Tablespoons of Caesar dressing
Add all ingredients into a serving bowl, toss and enjoy!
Caesar Salad 101
4-5 Romaine leaves washed and patted dry. Place leaves on top one another and cut across lengthwise.
1/2 of a lemon,cut
2 Tablespoons of Parmesan cheese
9 croutons
2 Tablespoons of Caesar dressing Pepper
FOOD CONCERNS?
Place leaves, parmesan, and croutons in a serving bowl. Squeeze lemon through your fingers over the salad (so you can catch the seeds). Add dressing and a couple of shakes of pepper, toss and enjoy!
Christina's Caprese
1 Tomato, sliced into 8 thick slices
1/2 of a mozzarella ball, cut into 4 slices, then cut those slices in half
4 slices of French bread cut thin,then cut those slices in half
For information about nutrition, healthy habits, eating disorders and more, go to www.ku.edu/~shs for help from Ann Chapman, a registered dietician at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
4 Basil leaves, stacked on top of one another, roll like a cigarette, and then cut thin strips lengthwise.
Salt
2 Tablespoons of Caesar dressing
Pepper
Layer bread, tomato, then mozzarella onto a side-dish plate. Repeat layering in a circular motion. Sprinkle salad with salt and pepper, than drizzle dressing over the tomato mixture. Lastly, shower the basil over the salad. This is my favorite!
If you want, add chicken or cooked shrimp to make these salads even more gratifying. And remember: if you don't like an ingredient in a recipe — especially in salads — you can always omit that ingredient. I promise it will still taste great!
What about the leftovers?
Christina's fix for leftover salad ingredients:
Add basil, sauteed onions,the mozzarella or feta cheese to cooked pasta with pre-made spaghetti sauce. Use the leftover French bread for garlic bread or bread crumbs,or after four days freeze it for a later date. It will keep for months,and defrosts easily.

New dining options here
By Mandalee Meisner
Jayplay writer
It's hard to find an original niche in Lawrence's diverse restaurant scene. But two new establishments, Odessa's Cafe, 12th and Connecticut, and Zen Zero, 811 Massachusetts Street, attempt to fill voids in the culinary cornucopia.
At Odessa's Cafe, the decorations are simple and neat: a few plates arranged on a wall, portraits of Miles Davis and Billie Holiday, and a few framed family photos.
Odessa Shorter, owner, cook, and sometime-cashier at Odessa's Cafe, wants everyone to know that the food is undoubtedly the most important aspect of her restaurant.
Shorter hopes the informal atmosphere makes the customers feel at home.Her specialty is "comfort" or soul food. Fried chicken, meatloaf, catfish and ribs line the menu.It's "nothing fancy, just regular food," she said.
She said the East-Lawrence community had already given her cafe a resounding welcome.
A few repeat customers have even brought in pictures of themselves to add to her family portrait collection.
“It’s a very family feel, even back in the kitchen,” Julie DePauw, a server at Odessa's and KU grad student, said. "There's always laughter there."
Odessa's is open for lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and for dinner from 4 to 7 p.m. On Saturday, breakfast is served from 8 to 11 a.m. On Sunday, dinner is served all day from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Zen Zero,811 Massachusetts St., offers what owner Subarna Bhattachan called "street food"from Nepal,Tibet,Thailand, Vietnam and Japan.
Bhattachan said after Thai restaurant Lulu's closed, Lawrence needed vegetarian-friendly Thai cuisine — one that the native-Nepalese was more than happy to fill.
"Whenever I go home, I have to go through Thailand to visit Nepal. I'd take cooking classes out there, and go eat at various restaurants in Bangkok," Bhattachan said.
The Zen Zero menu includes satays, Thai soups, curries and desserts like cashew-, banana- and chocolate-stuffed spring rolls.
The restaurant's name is the Italian word for ginger, zenzero.
"It's a play on words," Bhattachan said, referring to the Tibetan Buddhist theory of "zen."One warning—some items featured on the menu aren't currently available.
Bubble Tea, an iced tea that comes in several flavors, with tapioca on top that you suck from a straw, will take a few more weeks to debut.
"Momos"—an appetizer of Himilayan dumplings served with tomato and sesame chutnies — are a menu standout. They're Bhattachan's favorite item, as they remind him of home.
Zen Zero keeps irregular hours now, but will soon remain open Sunday and Monday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.

KU Info replaced with Magic 8-Ball
et oki
Jensen Thaddaeus, DeSoto freshman, tests a scale model of the new KU Info Magic 8-Ball. Thaddaeus said it told him to 'ask again later' when he asked it why people drive on a parkways and park in driveways. "It's just like the old KU Info," he said.

Kansan satire writer
University of Kansas administrators announced Monday the 30-year-old KU Info line will be replaced by a Magic 8 ball.
Speculation that KU Info would fold began last week when Mary Lee Hummert, interim vice provost for student support, said the information service could be moved to the Web, but Hummert said the all-knowing black ball was a more feasible alternative.
University administrators want to assure students this is a quality solution to a complicated budget problem.
"This is no regular Magic 8 ball," Chancellor Robert Hemenway said. "It will be an abnormally large eight ball easily accessible to all students. Also, just for fun, we've added cool catch phrases appealing to college students like 'you better get jiggy with that, dogg' and 'Your English teacher would be down with that.' From questions about classes to campus procedures to mixed drinks, the new KU Magic 8 ball can answer any question. Heck, it just told me that it's 'unlikely' my hair will ever grow back. That's information you can count on."
The University set up the eight ball yesterday afternoon for a test run with students.
"It's certainly unique," said Jennifer Johnson. Overland Park senior.
"I found out that it's 'highly doubtful' I can
still get a park-and-ride pass and that the 'outlook is not so good' of me finding a guy interested in my mind this semester."

The total cost of the project was estimated at $7.99, plus sales tax at Wal-Mart. Students are

Man says goodbye to old underpants
By Joe Stephenson
Kansan satire writer
I'll just use a simple black-and-white image of two people standing in a kitchen, each holding an object. The person on the left is blowing air into their mouth, while the person on the right is holding a plastic bag filled with items.
James Richards stood looking at the flames coming out of an old metal trash barrel with a sad look on his face and a pair of tattered Fruit of the Loom briefs clenched in his left hand. He then looked around, took a deep breath and said, "I guess it's time."
It was indeed time to say farewell to a treasured pair of underpants.
Photo illustration
"I think I got this pair back during my back-to-school shopping right before 10th grade. I can't say for sure whether I wore these at some special time or anything since this pair looks like all the other pairs of underwear I have, but I have had them for so long I am just we shared some special moments" said Richards, El Dorado junior.
"I don't get it," she said. "Why does he want to keep that pair anyway? It's clearly worn out, it probably has like fifty tiny holes in it and the butt is so worn out you can practically see through it. Nobody should have the same pair of underpants they had in 10th grade, unless they are in 10th grade."
Richards' girlfriend, Kelly Moogie, El Dorado sophomore, had a different take on the send-off of the old underpants.
Richards, however, still sees a lot of potential in the old underpants.
"I think this is still a perfectly good pair of underwear," he said. "In my mind as long as the

"God, I want to thank you for bringing this pair of underpants into my life," he said, "but we must face the fact that everything must die at some point, so I send this pair of underpants back to you."
Richards looked at the fire, then at his girlfriend. Richards was clearly on the verge of tears as he said a short prayer.

gaze.
When asked how she felt about the send-off of the underpants, Moogie said, "Good, I am glad those stupid things are gone. They should have been burned years ago, and I should not have been the one to tell him to get rid of them. He should really be able to figure this stuff out on his own. My God, just because underwear has elastic does not make it fit to wear. I was going to buy him some new underwear, but maybe I should just buy him some elastic waist bands."
Richards was too shaken up about the underpants to comment.
To help those who may also face the loss of old comfortable underpants because their controlling girlfriends think they are "too worn out" Richards has set up a Web site that has tips for coping with the sad event — www.saygoodbyetojamesunderpants.com.

'Weak Links found during enrollment
By Benjamin McCarthy
Kansan satire writer
All prospective students for the 2003-2004 school year will be required to participate in a game show televised nationally, Chancellor Maysey.
Robert Hemenway announced Tuesday.
The move is part of an effort to drop back enrollment.
The tournament for admission into the University is loosely based on the popular prime-time game show The Weakest Link. This new admissions requirement will force students to answer questions to become candidates for enrollment.
PATRICIA CABOTT
Robinson
The woman Hemenway referred to is former Weakest Link host Anne Robinson. The University contacted her to be master of ceremonies for the proceedings. Although she could not be reached for comment, Robinson was said to be thrilled at the opportunity for work.
When asked for comment, Hemenway hinted that students who failed to answer the questions would be "excused" from the search and would be asked not to seek enrollment at the University.
"We found her high over by Burrito King," Hemenway said. "We figured she'd do it since she had developed a pretty nasty dependency on smack and horse tranquilizers."
Though it is not known how many students the show will weed out,it is certain that the admissions policy at the University will never be the same. Ronald Umber, student senator, said he was concerned about the new policy.
"We are using this show to trim the fat, if you will," Hemenway said. "This lady is notorious for pinpointing sorry excuses for human beings."
"This is a major blow to the University," Umber said. "This campus is what it is because of the people who walk around here with questionable reading skills and little or no experience in balancing a checkbook."

by the fictional British Broadcasting Company, playing on Confederate Television. The instructors used real paintings and photographs to recreate history.
"It's very easy to take a painting of General Lee and General Grant shaking hands and recast it as Grant being the one who's surrendering," said Jacobson, who has worked with stars from Madonna to Fight Club director David Fincher.
The film, which has been partly funded by the National Black Programming Consortium, is interrupted by the kinds of commercials that might play if a Confederate television station existed. A fictional Web company, "eSlave," advertises online slave purchases. Another commercial offers a product called "the shackle."
"It's going to be controversial. We're not doing this just to be shocking or sensational, though. We want to get people talking."
Matt Jacobson cinematographer
The instructors are racing toward a planned February 2003 premierepos-
sibly to be held in Lawrence just in time for Langston Hughes month.
"It's going to be controversial," Jacobson said. "We're not doing this just to be shocking or sensational, though. We want to get people talking."
Peter Ukpokodu, chairman of the department of African and African-American studies, said the film's sensitive topic was worth visiting, though judging the past is difficult.
"We have a way of looking at our past, because we can only look from a contemporary perspective," Ukpokodu said.
Chris Columbus (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone) and Twentieth Century Fox bought a screenplay from Willmott about abolitionist John Brown. Willmott
said production might be hindered by low earnings of slavery-themed movies like Beloved in recent years.
Jacobson said such corporate issues made filming CSA in the "hip" Lawrence area more thrilling.
Willmott said people in Lawrence eagerly approached the project.
"People here aren't jaded about films," Willmott said. "You get volunteers. That doesn't happen in New York or L.A."
The CSA crew, which includes the instructors' students, works for free and donates whatever downtime they have to the project, Jacobson said.

Budget cuts hurt services, supplies
By Jenna Goepfert
Kansan staff writer
Course instructors and office supply store employees are the next to feel the effects of campuswide budget cuts.
US8o
The cuts have left some professors discouraged from providing classroom materials for students, struggling to afford teaching assistants and instructing
much larger groups of students
The University of Kansas is also eliminating its Office Supply Store in Strong Hall—and several employees' positions.
Kathy Jansen, office supply store manager, said the changes to the store wouldn't save as much money as predicted and would place strain on other departments, which soon would have to order their own office supplies at the end of September.
"If we really felt this benefited the University, if we really, truly felt it'd make things better,we'd say,'All right.'"she said.
"When you start cutting services, you've gone beyond cutting the fat," she said. "All the budget cuts have affected the support of the University, and when you hurt that support, you hurt the mission of the University."
Felix Moos, professor of anthropology, agreed the cuts were affecting University goals.
Last week, Moos chose not to distribute photocopied articles and handouts to his classes.
"The departments in the college are being asked to return money to central administration," he said. "This means, in the case of the anthropology department, that we are being told to be careful with Xeroxing materials for classes."
Moos has taught at the University since 1965. He said he had seen cost-cutting efforts before, but this year's had been one of the most serious attempts.
"It will really cut into the bone of what the University is all about," Moos said
Moos also said he had been unable to hire a teaching assistant to assist him with reading students' assignments because of the tight budget.
Ruth Ann Atchley, assistant professor of psychology, said her department had to make a number of policy changes in response to less funding.
"I'm teaching a course that's open to 300 students that used to be open to 100 students solely because I'm trying to help generate more funds for KU," she said.
She said she didn't want to provide less of a service to her students because of cuts and worried new faculty would be lured away because of discontentment with the state's lack of support for the University.
"If you are going to have a state institution that the state feels proud of, then the government and state needs to pay for it." she said. "It's a simple idea."
Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations, said she acknowledged the discomfort the cuts have caused, but said Gov. Bill Graves' did all he could to preserve higher education in his latest cuts.
"Everybody's feeling the pinch, and there's no doubt about that," Bretz said. "But we're doing our very best to protect the academic mission at this University."
She said students would always come first, but cuts in areas such as office supplies and telephone budgets would have to be made.
Tom Volek, associate professor of journalism, agreed the long term solution was ongoing state funding.
"Nobody likes to raise tuition," Volek said. "I've got a daughter who's a fifth year senior, so I'm paying more, too."
"But it's tough to argue, because we're a real bargain as a University, even with the tuition increase."

Fraternity loses charter
ATO forced to close chapter at the University after debt, member loss
By Todd Rapp
Kansan staff writer
Low membership and debt will result in the loss of a fraternity at the University of Kansas.
Alpha Tau Omega was notified yesterday morning by the national chapter that they would no longer be an operating chapter at KU.
Wynn Smiley, chief executive officer for Alpha Tau Omega, said the fraternity lost its charter but it would not be officially announced until September after the Alpha Tau Omega Board of Directors' meeting.
Financial debt and a trend of diminishing new member classes forced the fraternity to move out of its house, 1537 Tennessee St., last May. The Richmond Property Group took possession of the house and leased it to Pi Kappa Phi fraternity.
Bob McKenney, program assistant for fraternity and sorority life, said the fraternity was forced to remove 30 members from the house in 1997 because of a hazing incident.
Smiley said, despite the efforts of a
In 1994, the house underwent renovations costing more than $1 million. Because of the loss of members, the house was not able to afford payments toward the remodeling debt. Since then, the chapter has experienced problems recruiting enough men to keep up with the payments from the renovation
tew dedicated undergraduates, the lack of new members was the main reason for the loss of the charter.
"Unfortunately, there is a large group of men who were not willing to or couldn't put forth the effort to recruit new members," Smiley said.
Smiley said that the Alpha Tau Omega's national headquarters was planning to renew its charter at the University in about five years.
Hoffman said even though Alpha Tau Omega would no longer be a member of the Interfraternity Council at KU, the members of the house were planning to get together in the next few weeks to discuss future courses of action.

Hashinger Hall residents don't have to walk far when they start feeling hunger pangs at odd hours of the day.
Aaron Showalter/Kansan
A new convenience store, Munch E's, opened this semester on the second floor of Hashinger. Students from nearby residence halls on Daisy Hill are slowly showing up at Munch E's door to buy everything from jumper cables to pantyhose to frozen pizza.
The convenience store's name is the first thing customers notice.
"I think it's very appropriate considering the name of the dorm," said Tyler McNally, Osage Beach, Mo., freshman. "Let's go over to Hash for some munchies."
McNally walked to Munch E's after class Wednesday before going back to his room in McCollum Hall. Amanda Healy, Chicago freshman and fellow McCollum resident, helped McNally pick out a pair of sunglasses at Munch E's.
Munch E's allows students to buy food after the dining halls close. The convenience store opens at 10:00 a.m. and stays open until 10:00 p.m. every day. The latest any of the dining halls stays open is 7:30.
Korbe said she thought the store could improve its selection and bring in more customers.
Brian Powell, Barnhart, Mo., senior said the store's grocery section should be expanded. He pointed to the store's shelf

The dean of students and the student body president are hitting the beach for office hours.
Richard A. Johnson, dean of students, and Jonathan Ng, student body president, will answer questions from students from 1 to 2 p.m. each Wednesday at Wescoe Beach.
The two will position themselves near a sign that reads "Your Dean and Student Body President are here to talk." In case of inclement weather, the two will answer questions at the Kansas Union.
A. B. MUSIEK
Johnson
Johnson started the program last year, then called "The Dean is in," in an effort to make himself more available to students.
Ng
"This is an opportunity to get out and into where the students are," Johnson said.
Johnson and Ng got the idea to team up while both of them were answering questions from tables last spring in the lobby of the Union.
"Hopefully this gives students a double opportunity to get a student leader's perspective as well as an administrator's perspective," Johnson said.
During previous Wescoe Beach office hours, Johnson has received questions regarding classes, tuition and the University's leadership.
Ng said the hour on the beach serves as a good opportunity to help clarify the budgeting process for students.
"I can answer questions in terms of where the money is going," he said.
Ng said he would also like to address other important issues facing the student body, such as the status of KU Info.
Meagan Whisenhunt, Great Bend sophomore, is a first-year student at KU and said she thought the office hour would benefit students, especially if they didn't know where Ng and Johnson's actual offices were located.
"This is a good opportunity to comfortably ask questions in a comfortable setting." Whisenhunt said.
In his first outing Wednesday, Ng said the service had been well received.
"I thought it went pretty well," Ng said. "We're both in a position where we can help directly or lead students to someone who can help."

An editorial in yesterday's Kansan incorrectly stated that Jonathan Ng was Student Senate president. Ng is student body president.
An article in yesterday's Kansan, "Cuts leave students shut out of classes," misquoted Student Body President Jonathan Ng as saying the elections were in September. They are in November.

Suspect to take evaluation before his trial
Raymond Boothe was charged yesterday with first-degree murder in Leavenworth County District Court.
Boothe — the 34-year-old Cameron, Mo., man who is accused of stabbing his son, Levi Boothe, and leaving him on the Kansas Turnpike Tuesday will undergo a mental evaluation, said Frank Kohl, Leavenworth County attorney.
Judge Frederick Stewart approved an evaluation at Larned State Hospital to determine Boothe's mental state and whether he is competent to stand trial
Booth the attempted to kill himself and his three children shortly after midnight Wednesday when he crashed his car in the 2700 block of Lawrence Avenue, Sgt. Mike Pattrick of the Lawrence Police Department said. When Lawrence police contacted the children's mother, they learned there was a fourth child.
Police then contacted the Kansas Highway Patrol and learned that the agency and Leavenworth County officials were investigating the death of Boothe's son, who was found dead about three hours earlier on the Kansas Turnpike about 3 miles east of Lawrence.

Youth smoking rates up world wide according to CDC
CDC
ATLANTA — Health officials are taking a snapshot of child smoking rates around the world, and they say the preliminary findings are alarming.
In Buenos Aires, Argentina, one in four children ages 13 to 15 smokes cigarettes.
In Moscow, it's one in three, and, in
the northern Mariana Islands, nearly 40 percent of children in that age bracket smoke.
The figures, released yesterday by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, are part of an ongoing survey of global youth smoking rates that the CDC hopes to complete by the end of the year.
"This is the first time we've had numbers to show (youth) smoking really is a major world health problem," said Dr. Terry Pechacek of the CDC.
Organizers say the initial findings already point to the growing problem of youth smoking worldwide.
"In many parts of the world, youths can easily get cigarettes," Pechacek said.
Airline asks workers to help save the company
CHICAGO United Airlines is asking its machinists union to give up $450 million in pay and benefits annually as part of an overhauled financial recovery plan aimed at keeping the struggling carrier out of bankruptcy, the union said yesterday.
The proposal calls for mechanics, ramp workers and other employees represented by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers to take 10 percent pay cuts and forgo raises negotiated earlier this year for 2003 and 2004, IAM officials said.
United spokesman Joe Hopkins said the airline had no immediate comment.
The proposed machinists' cuts are part of a company-wide push to sharply reduce high costs in hopes of receiving a $1.8 billion federal loan guarantee and helping it end its long financial slide.
The union said the company made clear that the total annual savings figures are non-negotiable, although its proposal could be modified to achieve the reductions in different ways.
United's interim chief executive officer, Jack Creighton, announced Aug. 14 that the nation's No.2 airline might have to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection this fall if it didn't reach major cost-saving agreements with its employees, vendors and lessors.
PHILADELPHIA — A state court yesterday struck down a 1998 Philadelphia city ordinance that recognized same-sex "life partnerships," saying the law usurped the power of the state to regulate marriage.
Court strikes down law recognizing life partnerships
recognizing life partnerships
The law had amended the definition of the term "marital status" to include "life partner," thereby granting benefits to same-sex partners of city employees who signed a partnership affidavit.
A group of seven city taxpayers sued, charging that the city did not have the power to create a new marital status.
A Commonwealth Court panel agreed yesterday, saying in its ruling that the law ran counter to what the General Assembly intended the definition of marriage to be.
"It could not be clearer that, by enacting the Marriage Law, as well as the Divorce Code, and by providing uniform laws in domestic relations throughout the State, the General Assembly tacitly but thoroughly demonstrated its intent to pre-empt this field of legislation," the court ruled.
County prosecutor takes over city police department
KEANSBURG, N.J. — The county prosecutor's office has taken over daily operations of the police department after the acting chief made a racial slur over the police radio, authorities said yesterday.
The slur, captured on audiotape, occurred May 4 when Acting Chief Michael Kennedy called headquarters looking for a patrolman to disperse a group of African Americans near an ATM before they committed a crime.
"Pursuant to discussions with First Assistant Attorney General Peter C. Harvey, on behalf of Attorney General David Samson, the Monmouth County Prosecutor's office has superseded Acting Police Chief Michael Kennedy and taken control of the daily operations of the Keansburg Police Department," Samson's office said in a statement.
Kaye, as the top law enforcement officer in the county, has the authority to do so, according to Samson.
In addition to taking over Kennedy's department, the county has also suspended him and ordered him to issue a formal apology.
The NAACP said it was not satisfied and demanded Kennedy be fired.
"Anything short of that, we're not going to be pleased with," said the Rev. William Rutherford, president of the NAACP's state chapter.

Bands juggle studies, music Politicians seek students to assist in campaigns

Members of the band Salt the Earth pack their gear into their travel bus in preparation for a weekend out-of-town gig. Full time students who double as working musicians often find it challenging to make time for both.

While most University of Kansas students were making their way through the second day of the new semester, the three members of Ghosty were holed up in a Lincoln, Neb., recording studio, laying down new tracks for an upcoming album.
"This summer we worked on demos and now we're all skipping our second day of class to record," Andrew Connor, Sloux Falls, S.D., senior and guitarist for Ghosty, said. "It's probably not the best note to start a new semester on."
Aside from Ghosty, Connor also has two jobs, a weekly show on KJHK 90.7 and a full class schedule. This roster of duties doesn't afford Connor much free time, but he has found his creativity increasing with his productivity.
"It itens the busier I am, the more I get done," Connor said. "I like to be busy."
Ghosty drummer Richard Gintowt and bassist Jacob Baum are also full-time KU students. Gintowt jugges school, the band and his responsibilities as KJHK's music director.
Connor, a music major, is dedicated to his music, but looks forward to life after college.
"I've always said music is my first priority above school," Connor said, "but I want to finish school in four years and be independent after that."
While Ghosty was tweaking its sound in Nebraska, members of the local band Salt the Earth were in a yellow van packed with gear making their way to St. Louis, Mo.
For Salt the Earth, a quartet described as "post-hardcore," the show in St. Louis will be just like any other gig, except for one detail: three of the four members need to be back in Lawrence for class on Monday morning. Matthew Morgus, St. Louis, Mo., junior; Nick Knutsen, Overland Park junior; and Nick Haxton, Leavenworth sophomore are all KU students who juggle their education, part-time jobs and rock 'n' roll.
"Finding time to practice and write is pretty tough."
Nick Knussen
Salt the Earth guitarist
"Finding time to practice and write is pretty tough," Knutsen, a full-time student and Salt the Earth's guitarist, said.
Presented with less noisefriendly neighbors, Salt the Earth found that weekend social hours were the only times they could practice without causing neighborhood unrest.
"We'll be practicing on Friday and Saturday nights when the rest of the college kids are out partying." Morgus, a student and Salt the Earth's bassist, said.
The band members decided to make the band their first priority, with school coming in a close second. The band took spring semester off to take its show on the road.
Morgus said that life on the road might have jeopardized their studies, but it was a risk they were willing to take.
"We're on our own and if we make it, we make it." Morgus said. "If we don't, we don't."
Now signed to Anxiety Records, Salt the Earth toured this summer and appeared on the Vans Warped Tour. The band's recording is reportedly going into its second pressing and is available on the band's web site, salttheearth.com.
Overland Park junior Joe Noel might put this list of multitaskers to shame. Noel plays drums in two local bands: Hook and Ladder, formerly Camarosmith, and This Building Is Cursed. Noel splits his weekdays between classes at KU and the Johnson County Community College. Besides performing and studying, Noel spends 25 to 30 hours every week delivering pizza.
"Getting a lot done feels good," Noel said. "When you finish recording something or finish playing a good show, that's a great feeling."

State and local political candidates are turning to students to fill the ranks of their campaign staffs for the 2002 election season.
Republicans and Democrats traditionally look to campus political organizations to organize student involvement in their campaigns. Both Adam Taff, the Republican nominee for Kansas' 3rd district U.S. House of Representatives seat, and Democratic incumbent Dennis Moore met with KU student groups in an attempt to recruit volunteers.
Julia Gilmore Gaughan, a Douglas County field coordinator for the Kansas Democratic party's Coordinated Campaign, said students were ideal for involvement because they had more energy, idealism and time
that they could commit to campaigns.
"They can really rejuvenate a campaign and bring a certain energy," Gaughan said.
Gaughan said interested students had a variety of options including paid and volunteer positions.
"It really depends on their level of commitment," Gaughan said. "Canvassers get paid seven dollars an hour to go door-to-door getting information out about the Democratic candidates. We also register voters for the Get Out the Vote drive."
Erin Blocher, Lawrence senior and Taff campaign volunteer, said her campaign duties included dispersing campaign literature around Douglas County and calling voters to discuss the issues.
campaign for governor.
"Probably what I've learned the most about is getting out and advocating what you believe in: putting into action the ideas and goals that you want to have accomplished," he said.
Gaughan said that students involved in campaigns would likely learn and grow from the experience.
"I think that becoming involved in a campaign during these formative years is a good way to start a life as an active citizen. I think that with the skills you learn from campaigns, like attention to detail and the willingness to talk to people about the issues, help you become a more educated citizen," Gaughan said.

Hillel to host shabbat dinner
By Aaron Passman Kansan staff writer
Jay Lewis has high hopes for KU Hillel and the University of Kansas Jewish community.
"We want Hillel to really be a community and be people's home away from home," said Lewis, executive director for Hillel.
Hillel will host their first Shabbat dinner this year at 6:15 tonight at KU Hillel House, 940 Mississippi. Shabbat is the Jewish sabbath that lasts from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday. Admission to tonight's dinner is $5 at the door.
"We want Hillel to really be a community and be people's home away from home." Jay Lewis
Tony Jacobson, Lawrence non-traditional senior, is a Hillel volunteer and recently decided to make the whole kitchen at Hillel kosher. Keeping kosher is a set of dietary laws kept by some sects
executive director for Hillel
of Judaism. The mixing of dairy and meat products and eating pork is forbidden in kosher dietary laws.
"It's a little more expensive to keep the kitchen kosher, but we're able to include everyone this way," said Jacobson, also Hillel's chef.
Jacobson said the meal will be a traditional Shabbat dinner with smoked chicken from the barbecue, chicken soup, sweet kugel (a traditional Jewish noodle dish), vegetables, challah (a braided traditional Jewish
bread), wine and, "plenty of Shabbas ruach to go around." Ruach is a Yiddish word for "spirit."
Lewis said Hillel's plans for the year included at least one Shabbat dinner per month, leadership programming throughout the year, programming to support Israel.
"If we have 25 then we'll be thrilled," Lewis said, "but if we have 75 then we'll be bursting at the seams. We're hoping for that kind of problem."

Change of offensive display a good move by Cabela's
A store has recently opened in which there was a shooting arcade setup as a diorama of an African village. One might think this was a joke, but it was not.
The sad reality is that the arcade really existed. It was at a store called Cabela's, an outdoor sporting store near the Kansas Speedway.
The walls were adorned with the heads of dead deer and elk, and no shortage of other animals in dioramas, many of them endangered species. The arcade in question was meant to depict a safari scene.
Given that, it seemed a little strange that it would depict a village. Several white explorers were camped next to the village, and a black man in African dress stood guard with a spear while another carried a pot, collecting water. The targets were placed on various inanimate objects in close proximity to the mannequins. One of the most blatantly offensive targets was a pot with a wide-eyed African character hiding inside, the target aligned on the pot directly in front of his forehead.
Many people began to take notice of the shooting gallery. The suggestion of unloading ammunition on a tribal village was so offensive to John Hoopes, KU anthropology professor, he brought the matter to KCTV 5 news.
You might see how this could have been offensive if you imagined yourself as a Massai or other African tribesman, watching people fire loads of imaginary bullets into a scene meant to depict your home. But then most people don't bother to look at things from the tribesman's perspective. Do you think this scene would have been built if it
instead depicted George Armstrong Custer's camp, even if it had a few wooden Indians?
Maybe this would have made more sense if we imagined it as an affluent suburban family's living room. Shoot the remote control, knock out the ceiling light, or see if you can shoot the tags off the dog's collar. Can you shoot the tie off Dad's neck? Does it really matter where the bullet would go after it ripped through that piece of polyester and silk?
This depiction of blasting guns all over a village was not only offensive for depicting someone's home, but also because most of Africa has suffered under European colonialism for the last few centuries, and is still deep in repercussions. If those reasons are still not enough, European and American sponsored guns are still fired on villagers. However, the people firing the shots are large companies looking for oil and other resources, rather than foreign nations looking for territory and slaves.
Thanks to Dr. Hoopes' efforts, Cabela's announced that it would change the display. If you wish to discuss this, you can contact Dr. Hoopes at hoopes@ku.edu.
Also, you can contact the manager of Cabela's to thank them for their willingness to change the shooting gallery:

PERSPECTIVES
Movie prompts soul searching
GUEST COMMENTARY
Funny how movies, even the worst of them, can inspire you to do something different with your life.
In May I went to see Kissing Jessica Stein, a film about one straight woman who becomes a lesbian for a brief part of her life. Immediately after leaving the theater I called my good, straight friend, Sarah and asked her to be my girlfriend for the summer.
.
Marla Keown opinion@kansan.com
She turned me down and I remained a single lesbian wannabe for the rest of the summer.
Before the summer, I had never questioned my sexuality. I thought of myself as a female who was much in love with penises. Sure, a couple of times I had (gasp) kissed a girl or even made out with a few of them, but I had always assumed the enjoyment came from the reaction of the nearby gawking males.
But for once in my life I started wondering if this desire to date Sarah was something more than another one of my easily inspired adventures.
I even prepared a coming out of the not so lesbian, but almost there, closer speech
I started questioning my every thought and move. Walks to classes became more thought provoking. Instead of checking out whoever walked past me, I started wondering why I couldn't lift my eyes past a girl's chest level.
Talking to girls became even harder; I questioned my natural flirtatiousness and wondered if the girl was flirting back or not.
I confided my secret aspiration to my closest friend Amanda. Surprisingly, she too had a secret crush on one of her straight girlfriends. Together we plotted how to talk to them, score a date and hopefully have the grand reward of being their lesbian wannabe girlfriends for the summer.
During the scheming though, we spent every other second trying to convince ourselves that we were nothing but a straight line.
We reasoned that our baby breasts were the cause of our ever-wandering eyes.
We decided that the only reason we checked out any female passerby was nothing more than being fashionably aware.
We even tried to convince ourselves that our wannabe lesbian lovers were nothing more than attainable role models we picked for ourselves. Yet through all of the pathetic attempts of psychoanalysis, I still had a hidden urge to make Sarah my girlfriend.
Then I took a summer Journalism 101
class. There, during a lecture on emotional persuasion, I realized I had been duped.
Kissing Jessica Stein persuaded me into believing that I had lesbian material in me. Jessica Stein's personality and livelihood proved credible enough for me. The seeming realness of the characters suckered me into accepting the idea of living a lesbian lifestyle.
Alongside the credibility of the characters came the enticing logistics. If a 30-year-old straight girl could become a lesbian for awhile, then why couldn't I?
The flawlessly imperfect relationship between Jessica Stein and her lesbian girlfriend drew in my emotions. Funny how it took two months for me to realize that the wonderfully real connection between the two was nothing more than good acting.
It's strange how one movie can create such chaos in my once simple lifestyle. I still find myself living in a lesbian wamabe costume.
I continuously check out any attractive female that walks into Conoco during my shift, yet I immediately point them out to the closest male coworker before my gaze drops too low past eye level.
And every time I meet up with Sarah, I blush and giggle like a silly schoolgirl.
Hopefully someday I'll be able to have my ever-swaying thoughts without feeling the need to excuse them.

KJHK Webcast under threat from recording industry fees
Nearly two years ago the record industry had climbing CD sales and was decrying widespread piracy at the hands of Napster. Napster is gone and the record industry now has falling CD sales and is still whining about widespread piracy. Whatever the cause of the decline, the record industry has set its sights on a new target to blame: Internet radio.
Webcasting transmits radio over the Internet.
KU's own KJHK (90.7) claims to be the first station ever to stream a continuous, live signal, which they continue to broadcast online today.
their webcasting or shut it down completely as a result of fee demands by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
The task of determining these new webcasting fees fell upon the Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel.
Greg Holmquist opinion@kansan.com
In recent months though, a number of stations like KJHK have been forced to restructure
However, the real damage has already been done.
GUEST COMMENTARY
Webcasts, particularly from small college stations are already being bullied out of commission by the threat of the exorbitant fees which the RIAA seems intent on establishing.
In reality, the wrangling over new rate structures has little to do with the future of small scale webcasting. For all of the RIAA's rhetoric about e-piracy and artist royalties the real goal is to solidify the RIAA's position in a market with huge
potential.
currently it is limited mostly to home computers, but webcasting has the potential to become a personalized radio available wherever and whenever you want it.
This is a fact not lost on media giants whose lobbying budgets dwarf those of the independent webcaster. Still, the record
Imagine the threat to the industry's business model if you had a choice in radio that went beyond a dozen Top 40 stations.
industry's concern is well placed
Granting consumers these kinds of choices don't seem to be at the top of the RIAA agenda though. And what incentive do they have to even consider them?
The RIAA has the distinct advantage of controlling a vast majority of the content that webcasts require: the music. Despite their protests, commercial webcasters are virtually forced into an arrangement with the organization that Broadcast com founder Mark Cuban once termed a cartel.
Whether it is for profit or commercial use, webcasting will remain along with the commercials, pop music, and all of the
other joys that mainstream radio has to offer. Volunteer stations will become the Napsters of webcasting and, as low budget stations adapt or fold under new rate structures, once innovative and aggressive webcasts will follow in the footsteps of The Lazer, KLZR, and change their format to a traditional Top 40 structure.
For the moment, KJHK seems to be holdingstrong. We should be proud to have a station viable enough to stand up to the threat of devastating costs and retroactive fees. As of Wednesday morning KJHK's home page had a link titled "Internet Radio survives for the time being."

Professor to study smokers' addiction
By Lindsay Hanson Kansan staff writer
One University of Kansas Medical Center professor wants to find out if African Americans who smoke lightly can quit more easily.
The National Institutes of Health awarded Jasit Ahluwalia, chairman and professor of preventative medicine and public health, and his team $2 million this year to study exactly what it takes for African Americans who smoke less than 10 cigarettes per day to quit.
"The question is: Are they actually addicted to cigarettes?" Ahluwalia said. "Do they need drugs to help them in the process
of quitting?"
Ahluwalia said some research had been done on focus groups, but no one had ever tried direct intervention.
"The assumption is that because they smoke such a little amount, it shouldn't take much for them to quit," Ahluwalia said.
Even those who smoke as few as three cigarettes per day admit problems with quitting smoking, Ahluwalia said.
They do it to control nerves and curtail withdrawal symptoms
— some of the same reasons pack-a-day smokers list for sticking with the habit.
Ahluwalia's study focuses on African Americans because research studies do not usually
target the group. Researchers usually place classified ads asking for volunteers, and 93 percent of the respondents are white.
Antiwalia and his team are starting this research as a part of a campaign for smoking cessation. With other risk behaviors, such as alcohol, doctors have found that moderation does not endanger a person.
But cigarettes have different implications, said Kola Okuyemi, associate professor in family practice and co-principal investigator for the project.
"People who smoke five cigarettes a day raise their risk of lung cancer three times," Okuyemi said. "Nobody has come up with a safe amount of cigarettes."
Okuyemi said the team would administer a randomized clinical trial on four groups of 200 volunteers, studying their responses to different levels of counseling and medication.
Some groups will chew nicotine gum and others will receive a placebo gum. Of those groups, some will undergo professional counseling and the rest will receive general advice about quitting.
Ahluwalia said his team would publish its findings after it finished researching in the next two years.

English degree useful for many different careers
By George Schulz
Kansan staff writer
English undergraduates are often chastised and ridiculed for never quite knowing what they want to do with their degree once they leave school. But many English majors say a degree in English will give them just the boost they'll need for a successful career.
"English is probably one of the most versatile but no one really thinks about it," said Natalie Keiper, Lake Tahoe, Nev. sophomore. "You can pretty much do anything with it."
Keiper said she was interested in writing fiction -she has already begun writing her first book-and she considered going into journalism.
"When people ask me what my major is, and I tell them English, they're always like 'Well, what are you going to do with that?'"
Keiper said. "People don't think much of it."
Lauren Praither, Lee's Summit, Mo., freshman, also an English major, agreed that many students didn't see the usefulness of an English degree.
"Some people say, Why would you major in English? You already know how to speak it. I don't think people really understand what an English major is," Praither said. "It's more than just doing grammar."
Praither said she would likely use an English degree as a foun-
"I don't think people really understand what an English major is...that it's more than just doing grammar."
Lauren Praither
Lee Summit Freshman
Both Praither and Keiperagreed English degrees were more helpful than many students understood. They said strong English skills were vital for any career choice where writing and communicating regularly was a job necessity.
Ben Hirsch, undergraduate studies coordinator for the English department, said an English degree could be applied to everything from copyrighting, editing and manuscript reading to corporate communications, public relations and law.
"English majors have generally done well on the job market," Hirsch said.
Michael Johnson, assistant director of freshman-sophomore English said English majors couldn't necessarily write computer programs, but they did like the "emotional nitty-gritty" of life that contributed to their ability to problem-solve.

Exec says he didn't know about diluted drugs
The lawsuit claims that drug makers Bristol-Myers Squibb and Lilly knew or should have known that Courtney was watering down cancer drugs as early as 1998, but failed to stop him.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The head of security at Eli Lilly & Co. has testified that he would have alerted federal authorities if he had known about questions surrounding pharmacist Robert R. Courtney, according to a court filing by a cancer patient who is suing the drug maker.
Courtney pleaded guilty in February to tampering with chemotherapy drugs made by both companies. He has not been sentenced.
Discrepancies between the amount of drugs Courtney bought and the amount he dispensed are a key issue in the hundreds of civil lawsuits filed by cancer patients and their families. The plaintiffs claim the drug companies knew of these discrepancies, and thus knew Courtney was diluting drugs. The drug companies have said such discrepancies are routine.
Thursday's motion was a response to motions by Lilly and Squibb earlier this month to have the lawsuits thrown out.
Lilly security chief Dillard Howell testified that if he heard of such discrepancies, he would tell the Food and Drug Administration's Office of Criminal Investigation. But according to a motion filed by the plaintiffs Thursday, Howell was never told.
The plaintiffs also claimed that once Courtney was arrested, attorneys, for Squibb told the company's security department not to give the FBI a timeline.

19th century ship found
The Associated Press
BOSTON—Underwater explorers have located the wreck of a 19th century steamship that sank in one of the worst hurricanes in New England's history, taking more than 190 people with it.
The Portland, known as the "Titanic of New England," sank off the Massachusetts coast Nov. 26, 1898, after it sailed from Boston, ignoring forecasts of an impending storm.
Its whereabouts were never firmly established until Thursday, when the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced the wreck was found in the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, an area about the size of Rhode Island between Cape Ann and Cape Cod.
"This discovery closes the chapter on one of the greatest maritime disasters in New England," said Ben Cowie-Haskell, NOAA's primary investigator of the Portland
expedition.
Researchers were able to identify several distinctive features of the wreck that prove it's the Portland, Cowie-Haskell said, including the rudder assembly, paddle guard, wheel hub, and the twin side-by-side smokestacks.
The wreck was first located in 1989 by two underwater explorers, Arnold Carr and John Fish, but they could never prove it was the Portland.
NOAA researchers used sonar equipment and remotely operated machines that were able to take high quality video footage of the wreck.
Cowie-Haskell said the ship is sitting upright on the sea floor with its hull largely intact, though much of the ship above the main deck is gone. No bodies or artifacts with the Portland's name on it were found, he said.
Cowie-Haskell would not reveal the exact location of the ship.
The 291-foot Portland 140
Boston's India Wharf for Portland, Maine, as scheduled, ignoring forecasts of an impending storm and the decision by the captain of a sister ship to stay in port.
Captain Hollis Blanchard may have believed the Portland could outrun the gale, but the storm was actually two separate storms that collided at sea and grew in force. Winds reached 100 mph,and waves crested at 60 feet.
Scientists estimate 192 passengers and crew died, but no one really knows how many lives were lost because the only passenger list went down with the ship. Only about 40 bodies from the vessel were recovered.
Bodies and wreckage began to wash up on the shores of Cape Cod shortly after the storm, which eventually became known as the "Portland Storm."
The Portland's sinking prompted a change in the designer of all coastal ships from paddlewheel to propellor.
The Associated Press
RUTLEDGE. Ala, (AP) — An unemployed man and the 16-year-old mother of its child were sought for questioning Thursday in the massacre of six members of her family, whose bullet-riddled bodies were found at their isolated farm.
Slaying suspects missing
Pictures of Wastley Devone Harris, 22, and his girlfriend, Janice Denise Ball, were displayed on "Wanted For Questioning" posters around the south Alabama crossroads community where the six bodies were found.
The couple's 11/2-year-old daughter, called Shea Shea by family members, also is missing. State investigators said a nationwide alert was put out for a red Pontiac Grand Am in which Harris and Ball were believed to be traveling. The car belonged to Ball's father, Willie Hasley, 40, whose body was found near a hog pen after deputies were summoned to the rural homestead Tuesday night, according to relatives.
Law enforcement officers were at the home of Harris' mother yesterday, blocking traffic on one point on a road
that passes by her residence. Coleman Ball, whose mother and sister were among those killed, said someone talked with Harris on Wednesday "but they did not pinpoint where he was." He did not know whether phone contact was made by law enforcement or a family member.
Maj. Ken Hallford, chief of the Alabama Bureau of Investigation, would not comment on whether phone contact had been made with Harris. Gail Perdue, a store clerk who attended Luverne High School with Harris before he quit, described him as "strange." Dorothy Maye Hasley, sister of the slain Willie Hasley, said Harris had not been employed lately.
The crime, one of the worst multiple-victim homicides on record in the state, shattered the tranquility of this farm community about 40 miles south of Montgomery after the first bodies were discovered Tuesday night.
Relatives of the dead said the family matriarch, Mila Ruth Bull, 62, was found with a grandson in the tinroofed wood home where she lived.
Lawyers and friends defend Westerfield's life
The Associated Press
SAN DIEGO — Friends of David Westerfield testified on his behalf Thursday, seeking to convince jurors to spare him the death penalty for kidnapping and killing his 7-year-old neighbor, Danielle van Dam.
Two men who worked and socialized with Westerfield for more than 20 years described him as a talented engineer who helped design devices used in physical therapy and underwater photography.
"He's a very creative guy ... a very talented guy," said Carmen Genovese, a San Diego businessman who winked at Westfield as he took the stand in the second day of the penalty phase.
Westerfield, 50, was convicted Aug. 21 of kidnapping Danielle from her second-floor bedroom and killing her. The same jury that convicted him will be asked to recommend whether Westerfield should be sentenced to life in prison or be put to death.
Westerfield's attorneys sought
to undo the emotional testimony presented earlier by the prosecution. On Wednesday, jurors heard Danielle's parents tearfully recall her short life and the painful toll of her death.
"She was one of the most precious gifts anyone could ever receive," said Danielle's mother, Brenda van Dam.
On Thursday, Westerfield's lawyers sought to portray the defendant as a man whose work has benefited society.
Genovese and Ron Lawrence, a former business partner of
Defense attorney Steven Feldman has he would call witnesses to talk about his client's "wonderful, caring" side.
Westerfield's at Spectrum Designs, both said the devices the defendant helped create have played important roles.
"We don't try to excuse the crime. There is no excuse," he said Wednesday.
The remote underwater camera, Lawrence said, has spared deep-sea divers from potentially risky work. The medical devices Westerfield helped design aided thousands of people recovering from surgery, Genovese said.
Both Genovese and Lawrence visited Westerfield at his home the days before his Feb. 22 arrest "to show a little support," Lawrence said.
"But David Alan Westerfield is not the worst of the worst."
He also appealed to jurors who may hold lingering doubts about their guilty verdict.
"We don't question your verdict, but we do continue to have doubts," he said. "This is now a life or death decision."
New evidence in Hoffa case
The Associated Press
PONTIAC, Mich. — New DNA evidence in the disappearance of ex-Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa 27 years ago is insufficient to bring state criminal charges, a prosecutor said yesterday.
"We concurred that there is insufficient evidence to authorize the issuance of warrants at this time." Goreyca said yesterday.
"Unfortunately, this has the markings of a great 'whodunit' novel without the final chapter." Oakland County Prosecutor David Gorcyca said. Hoffa disappeared from the parking lot of the Machus Red Fox restaurant in Oakland County's Bloomfield Township in July 1975.
but he said the prime suspect remains Charles O'Brien, a former friend of Hoffa's. O'Brien has denied any involvement in Hoffa's disappearance.
FBI scientists used new technology to match the DNA from Hoffa's hair with that of a strand of hair found in a vehicle driven by O'Brien on the last day Hoffa was seen.
O'Brien told investigators in 1975 he had borrowed the car, owned by the son of reputed Mafia figure Anthony Giacalone, to deliver a frozen salmon to the home of Robert Holmes, then president of Teamsters Local 337. The delivery put O'Brien in the area near the restaurant, where Hoffa was supposed to meet with Giacalone and New Jersey Teamsers boss and underworld associate Anthony Provenzano.
Investigators believe Hoffa was picked up outside the restaurant and killed. Hoffa's family has said that only a close friend, such as O'Brien, could have persuaded Hoffa to get in the car.

Season's start makes dreams come to life
Tomorrow might just be another football game in Ames, Iowa, but someone at Jack Trice Stadium might have a dream come true...
Maybe it'll be a 7-year-old Iowa, clinching in one hand his father while in the other he totes a "gosenecago.com" sign — promoting the Cyclones' Heisman hopeful quarterback Seneca Wallace.
It could very well be Kansas' freshman running back Clark Green, who plunges in the end zone for his first collegiate touchdown.
How about Jayhawk Harrison Hill? He won't play because of his career-ending chronic dehydration condition which left him heartbroken just weeks ago.
Same for Kansas offensive coordinator Nick Quartaro. It's hard not to have fun when you're going against your friends. Just last season Quartaro was wearing Iowa State colors.
Still, Hill surely will be the loudest cheerleader on the Kansas sideline, especially considering in his six years he's never left Ames with a victory.
Someone at the game will be thrilled to see his first college game.
But maybe no one else will experience the feeling Kansas coach Mark Mangino will. "Nope, nothing will replace Mangino's first game as coach."
Doesn't game as coach matter the score.
It could be a 49-0 loss, a 24-21 overtime win or even the improbable but not impossible 2-2 tie. C'mon, safeties happen.
Nope, nothing will replace Mangino's first game as coach.
"I haven't been thinking much about myself," he said. "We've been so busy in our preparation."
Of course, Mangino downplays any hoopla; he's a football coach. Pigskin is his passion. He always knew this was what he wanted to do.
He played the game in New Castle, Pa. and thoroughly enjoyed it. He knew he wouldn't play it forever, but he wanted to be a part of it.
Then he caught on at Youngstown State University and developed a little more.
Mangino began like all coaches. He coached high schools and loved it.
Then it was off to Geneva College for a little more tutelage. Then back to high school ranks, before Kansas State.
He really turned it on as a Wildcat assistant and then made a name for himself at Oklahoma.
Now his family will watch him make the calls,watch him win or lose and watch him try to rebuild a program.
"My faithful family members: my brother, sister and mother will be there," he said casually. "I think when Saturday rolls around I'll realize that this is my first game as head coach, but it doesn't have any bearing on our team."
Tomorrow Mangino's dream comes true.
Yeah it does.

Mangino era begins
By Ryan Malashock
Kansan sportswriter
If Mark Mangino's goal was to enter his first game as Kansas football coach leaving Jayhawk football fans in a state of confused anticipation, he certainly succeeded.
Since his arrival Dec. 4, Mangino has kept a mum cloud above the Kansas football team. Practices — for the most part — have been closed to the media and general public. Injuries are rarely discussed. Schemes have been deemed off limits. Mangino has said the private approach was his way of keeping his players focused.
Well, there's no more hiding. Tomorrow, the end result of the secrecy will be revealed.
At 11:30 a.m. in Jack Trice Stadium, Kansas opens its season, as well as its Big 12 Conference season, against Iowa State, a team with one more game of experience than the Jayhawks a tough 38-31 defeat to then No. 3 Florida State.
Despite his efforts to keep those outside of the program clueless, Mangino sees no advantage in not having played a game, whereas Iowa State has seen action.
"There's no advantage in that for us," Mangino said. "Obviously, they have a game under their belt and the most
improvement college football teams make usually is from the first game to the second game. Our players are just tired of hitting each other in practice and are ready to play in a game."
Ready or not, the Jayhawks will take on an Iowa State team that should present the stiffest opening test in recent memory. With just eight returning starters, a new coaching staff, a new game plan and the loss of receiver Harrison Hill, a competitive first game may seem to be a preposterous possibility. Not so, says recently-anointed starting quarterback Zach Dyer.

'Hawks host kids' clinic, look ahead
Kansan sportswriter
By Nikki Overfelt
The members of the KU soccer team took time out of their schedules to play soccer with kids last night. The team hosted a one-hour, free clinic that was open to all kids in Kindergarten through eighth grade.
Coach Mark Francis said he was pleased with how the clinic went. He said about 70 to 80 kids participated.
Brianna Valento, senior defender and co-captain, was also happy with the outcome of the clinic.
"It went well," she said. "A lot of the same kids come out each year. I think they enjoy it."
SUNDAY
Lindsay Hunting, senior midfielder and co-captain, agreed.
but today the team will not be playing just for fun. KU opens its season today against the University of Nevada Las
"We have a good group of kids that come out to all the camps," she said.

Cyclones remain confident
By Doyle Murphy
Kansan sportswriter
A last second goal line stand by then third-ranked Florida State left Iowa State without a win, but not without the respect of Big 12 coaches and players.
Florida State took advantage of early Iowa State turnovers and raced to a 24-0 first-half lead in the Eddie Robinson Classic last weekend at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. A rapid Iowa State comeback ended when quarterback Seneca Wallace was ruled out of bounds just short of the end zone, and could not score on the following, and final, play.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino said the way Iowa State came back against Florida State was indicative of the type of team they were.
"It says that they have built their program with a solid foundation, that their kids believe in one another, and that they play hard all the time," Mangino said.
If Iowa State hopes to continue their success, they will have to make their way through a schedule that includes five Associated Press Top Ten teams. But that does not mean the Cyclones will look past Kansas, McCarney said.
He said Iowa State coach Dan McCarney deserved the credit for Cyclones' strong play. McCarney led Iowa State to a 16-8 record and bowl appearances in the last two seasons.
"He's the best playmaker we have on this football team period," McCarney said.
McCarney said if they did win, he expected his senior leader, Wallace, to play a large role.
Mangino said Kansas would try to contain Wallace with strong gap defense, but he said he did not know of a team that could stop him. Wallace threw for 313 yards in the 38-31 loss to Florida State. Fans can expect the same kind of performance from Wallace all season. McCarney said.
Kansas will also be on the lookout for junior tailback Hiawatha Rutland when they travel to Ames, Iowa, this Saturday, Mangino said. Rutland rushed for 93 yards on 17 carries, including a 36-yard touchdown run against the Seminoles.
Mangino said that although he and his staff got the chance to review tapes of Iowa State's first game, having game experience was definitely an advantage for the Cyclones.
He said that ISU had an advantage because a college football team made the most improvement between it's first and second games.
But McCarney said that wouldn't make him sleep any easier.
"It's a huge advantage for Kansas. They've seen our plays, they've seen our systems. We don't know anything about them. They have a new coach, a new system. It's a little bit unsettling to know that." McCarney said.

Volleyball team to open season against Creighton
By Jason Hwang
Kansan sportswriter
Opening the 2002 season at a high school isn't exactly ideal, but the Kansas volleyball team hopes the result of the game will be exemplary.
Under coach Ray Bechard, the Jayhawks have been perfect so far in season openers, going 4-0 since 1998. They hope to continue that streak tomorrow against Creighton at Omaha South High School.
Bechard said that any positive morale created during the nonconference season was a must to prepare the
squad for Big 12 Conference competition.
"Any momentum we can carry into Big 12 play would be valuable and the first step for us is at Creighton this Saturday." Bechard said.
Kylie Thomas, senior middle blocker, said winning the first game was crucial after the team had been playing against itself at practice.
"We are excited to play someone other than ourselves," Thomas said. "It's very important to win the first game to set the tone for the rest of the year."
Kansas returns five starters, including last year's top six kill leaders, top four
blockers and top four defenders.
Junior outside hitter Sarah Rome led the squad last year in kills (398), kills per game (3.9) service aces (39) and digs (284). She had double-digit kill totals in 21 of 31 matches last year, including 10 of the last 11 contests.
Through the two-a-day practices and Saturday's Crimson/Blue Scrimmage, Bechard and his assistant coaches have been doing a lot of evaluating, including the search for a starting setter.
The position was vacated by the graduation of Molly LaMere last season. Bechard said freshman Andi Rozum would probably start this Saturday but
sophomore Ashley Bechard, the coach's daughter, would get an opportunity to play.
Although the season opener is an official match, Bechard said he would still use it to assess his players as he did at Saturday's scrimmage.
"We hope to give a lot of people a chance to play, so we can do a lot of evaluation," Bechard said. "We hope that a lot of the things we've been working on technically will be in place."

Fallon spoofs videos at MTV Awards
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — With the American Museum of Natural History as the backdrop, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band kicked off the MTV Video Music Awards on Thursday with a rousing yet poignant performance that celebrated the spirit of the city.
Springsteen sang the title cut to his new disc, "The Rising," which touches on the emotions and the aftermath of Sept. 11.
But the MTV Video Music Awards being what they are, that reverent spirit didn't last for long. At Radio City Music Hall, where the awards were held, host Jimmy Fallon lampooned nominees including rappers Eminem, Nelly and teen rocker Avril Lavigne by spoofing their videos.
One of the evening's first surprises was an appearance by the Godfather of Soul, James Brown, who sashayed on stage at the end of Fallon's skit.
Perhaps the biggest surprise
was when pop queen Britney Spears emerged to give an "Artist of the Millennium" award to Michael Jackson, whose first album of the new millennium, "Invincible," only garnered two hits and was a commercial disappointment. The award coincided with the King of Pop's 44th birthday.
"Hey, Michael Jackson looks great for 44." Fallon said after Jackson left the stage, then added: "Between you and me, I think he's had some work done."
Not surprisingly, Einem provided the evening's biggest shocker — he was booed after winning the award for best male video for "Without Me."
The tension started when his nemesis, Christina Aguilera, presented him with the award. Aguilera looked like she wanted to drop it on the floor rather than put it in his hand.
Then, he took a pot shot at another one of his favorite targets, techno artist Moby, calling the artist a girl (Moby irritated
Einem last year by criticizing his lyrics as misogynist).
Then the boos from the audience began.
"Yeah, keep booing," Einem told the audience, then, appearing to look in Moby's direction, said "I will hit a man with glasses."
Despite that excitement, there were plenty of tulls in the program. Scripted banter between celebrity presenters like twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and actress Brittany Murphy and Anthony Kiedis from the Red Hot Chili Peppers fell flat. When the camera panned the audience during some of Fallon's skits, they appeared confused — or worse, bored.
Things were wilder before the awards started, as rapper Ludacris performed a profanitylaced song in front of Radio City Music Hall, rolling by on top of a big bus. Censors had to bleep out his performance, complete with scantily clad dancers jumping on cars,

"We're going into this game with the attitude that we want to win it," Dyer said. "We feel very confident about the way we've been playing in practice. Iowa State showed that they're a great team, but we won't be intimidated."
Dyer leads a Kansas offense that, despite the difficulty of replacing Hill, has weapons at skilled positions in both the running and passing game. Junior Reggie Duncan edged out freshman Clark Green for the starting tailback spot, though Green could see time tomorrow. Two explosive receivers, senior Byron Gasaway and junior Derick Mills, will open the game and senior Adrian Jones will start at
Megan Embers
tight end.
It's on the other side of the ball where Kansas may have problems.

Next week the Kansan invites its readers to take on Big 12 football reporter Doyle Murphy to pick the winners of 11 college football games. Anyone who defeats Murphy will be put in a drawing in which five participants will be chosen for weekly prizes, including a T-shirt and gift certificate. The winners will also be included in the next week's picks in the Kansan. All entries will be included in the grand prize drawing at the end of the season. Look for entry forms in the Kansan sports section every Thursday and Friday. All entries must be returned to the Kansan business office by 3 p.m. Friday in Stauffer-Flint Hall.

Today's game will be the Rebels' season opener also. The Rebels are coming off a 12-7-2 season and return 17 letterwinners and 7 starters from last season.
They are led by Cristyn Enea senior midfielder, who had nine goals and six assists for 24 points last season. In their two exhibition games this season, the Rebels have outscored their opponents 8-0. beating Dixie College 3-0 and Mesa College 5-0.
Last season KU beat UNLV 4-2 at the San Diego State Invitational. Valento said she believed last season's win would factor into tonight's game.
"I'm sure they're going to come here looking for revenge," she said.
Francis said he believed that his team's toughest challenge
would be not necessarily be the other team.
"It's going to be about ironing out the kinks," he said. "I think that's going to be the challenge, not to take anything away from UNLV because they are a very good team. They gave us a good game last year, but I think it's going to be more us coming out and playing our game."
Nikki Wahle, senior defender and co-captain, said she was hoping the team would have crowd support at the home opener.
"We finally get to play at home," she said. "We've publicized the game a bit, so hopefully we'll have more fans and support."
KU will also play its second game of the season at home at 1 p.m. Sunday against Boston.
The Terriers are back-to-back champions of the American East Conference and are coming off a 14-6-1 season. They are returning 17 letterwinners and 8 starters from last season. They are led by Rebecca Beyer, junior midfielder, who was their leading goal scorer last season with nine goals and four assists for 22 points.
The Terriers also open their season tonight against Creighton before traveling to Lawrence for Sunday's game.
Francis said he believed that the challenge against Boston would be the same as that of the UNLV game.
"I think regardless of what happens tomorrow, just coming and playing the way we know how to play and to the best of our ability, we have a good chance against anybody," he said.
Valento is very optimistic about the team's first two games.
"They'll both be tough games, but we have the ability to win both."
